If there are fish in the river at all, the biological diversity could be limited by the inability for those fish to wander beyond their side of the dam. I am not sure if there are salmonid fish there, or other fish that require swimming upstream to reproduce. I would doubt it that far inland.

The word for this is "parent".
I mean, this is assuming that pre-release reviews are from advance copies, not WIP.

Is he really in any risk of losing his job? I do not see how either your or OP came to conclusion.

I have met people who were under impression they were performing poorly, but actually they were doing great work. They just were disinterested in the job, which is a different issue.
That's called human curation. You're just putting the curation onus on me.

Too much work. I'll just watch one of the many other services that do it for me.
That's why you buy (sorry, "donate heavily to the campaign of") the local prosecutor.
Thanks, I’ve subscribed, not that I look at Twitter that often :)
They care when growing out of "kids" program and they care for specific series.

Even with a more restrictive approach Google/YouTube could whitelist specific content providers, which could provide fresh content on a frequent schedule.

Fossil cannot import things from Git which Git does not store. Git has no issue tracker.
Authors and publishers ship pre-release advance copies to popular reviewers, as part a part of the promotion leading up to launch, like movies do with prescreenings. Goodreads is notorious for having these types of reviewers, in fact, it's one of the carrots that serial reviewers go after.

He called this out, saying that the added complexity overhead of Go allowed the abstraction to be done much simpler than it would be in assembly. This is just tradeoff that is worthwhile in most cases.

The gripes about boilerplate overhead in Hello World miss the point that the runtimes involved are themselves making tradeoff about what to optimize for. Go explicitly trades off ultra-efficient binary size for ultra-fast compilation and mostly-static artifacts. Go is not designed to make the most efficient possible Hello World binary, nor should we want it to be. The fact that you can optimize Hello World better by hand than the Go compiler does tells us nothing interesting. How well can you optimize Docker, Consul, or Kubernetes by hand?
That's when you yell out to your female sibling for help, aka a sis-call.
Term sheets do away for the need to speculate about whether there is a binding obligation or not - they always explicitly say that they are not binding, and then both parties sign and agree to that.

Industry standards are though that once the term sheet is signed, the deal is 99% sure to happen, unless there are serious problems discovered in due diligence.

> This doesn't solve the number one problem of kids content on YouTube -- they are leaving it up to the creator to decide if it's kids content. It's still not human curated.

You can imagine how Google would automate some nightmares otherwise. Say they look at the age of the people viewing it and if enough people below a certain age view it, they automatically class it as content for children.

Of course ideally something in the middle would be a start, so they could see, what are children watching, let's check that out and see if it is in need of some 18+ filter or not.

Given they must be doing some checks, as in age for logged in accounts and making sure adverts are not something not for children.

>But YouTube Kids will never play in my house again until I know that every piece of content on there has been reviewed by a human before it goes live.

Yes, as it stands the systems Google have in place are not secure and by that, unsuitable content could find its way to your children when you have done all the right things to prevent that. Equally there is the accountability. If PBS drops a boob at the wrong time when children are watching, it will get dealt with and process in place. If YourTube kids do that, nobody else may know as nobody is checking an individual's stream over a network broadcast. Let alone the same level of accountability and process.
I agree with your annoyance at these types of threads. The contrast in this chain is the animated discussion between the originator and various scientists including neuroscientists, primatologists, etc.
Youtube and Kids are making these decisions based on FTC requirements. The FTC's rulings here have implications for the Internet as a whole.

> Filtering? It’s a discussion about privacy

The point being, there's no way to determine whether someone is an adult without violating their privacy, and even if there was, the false positives would be (imo) an unacceptable tradeoff. If you want to have a version of COPPA that works without violating privacy, you have to focus on either labeling or filtering content that's uploaded to a service. Trying to filter users based on their age just doesn't work.
Defense contractors and longevity are also disturbing. Rich pervert vibes. The latter always reminds me of Jeffrey Epstein wanting to cryo freeze his head and penis (LOL) and Larry Ellison's foundation dedicated to longevity — "namely, his": https://youtu.be/bNfAAQUQ_54?t=993
I think for me it's more the phenomenon that the "success rate" for online dating is so high.

Clearly it's possible to meet people who you have no existing connection with and end up finding your most intimate lifelong relationship with that person.

I guess if it's possible, and potentially even preferred, then it seems strange that most companies are so allergic to finding new hires "blind" in the same way.
That's just putting the onus of human curation on me. Too much work.

I'll just use one of the many other services that does it for me.
Hmm. Is this new result in the right direction to solve the Hubble Constant problem?
I actually LIKED having a central repository, which many of us still seem to prefer (i.e. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket). I switched to git mainly because my colleagues were all using it. I found it difficult to use, at first, because of my expectation of a central repo. Many years in, however, I see extreme value in having all your history locally. Specifically, never having to worry about a server crashing or your "host" going out of business.

>I've decided to do a "dry" January and if I can do it, will try to extent to all of 2020.

There's no "can" about it, you'll do it, and you'll enjoy it. Whether it has to be a whole 2020 thing is up to you.

Personally I do dry months during the comparatively quieter social periods at the start and near-end of the year (leading up to Christmas), and I find that I both enjoy the months where I allow myself to drink and those that I remain dry all the more because of it. YMMV.
He's just the fool who lost the hot potato game.

Boeing lost the moment they didn't realize the aging 737 would be a dead-end and was imperative they'll take risks and say "no, but" to the airlines. Given how the corporate world works that was very difficult or almost impossible to someone actually do this.

Among other things it's the classic example of short term obsession demolishing the future.
How Close Is Iran to a Nuclear Weapon?
Boeing just bought Embraer, but I assume that it will take some time until they the quality of products start to fall
YouTube Kids is what I use and it is most certainly not hand curated.

Or if it is, they need better hands, because they're terrible at it.
Right, but are the local Fossil issues preserved during import?
Maybe you can't, as a corporation worth 100s of billions of dollars, put it out there as being "for kids", if they don't want to pay to hire a legion of people to deal with what they can't scale. They don't get to reap the benefits and redistribute the costs.
That is the precise opposite of what is happening. Vinod bought a property with certain rights attached. Although the previous owners had allowed some access they had also denied access under some circumstances as well. What Vinod is doing is getting the law to resolve who exactly owns what and has what rights and obligations. If someone had the guts to demand that level of clarification in the past then we would not have this mess now.
Stateful Workloads and the Two Data Center Conundrum
When term sheets say they are non-binding, they will usually say "except the sections about confidentiality and exclusivity". So those will be the only parts that actually are enforceable promises.

But the exclusivity period is typically 30-45 days. There would have needed to be some particular reason for six months, given how far off-market it is.
Understood, perhaps my experience will help. I have had an account since 2014 according to their site, and I think I purchased my $25 lifetime in Jan or Feb 2014 (fuzzy memory - might have been cheaper back then? sale?) as I had more than 200 books I wanted to import from Goodreads, that I do remember. (I'm a very lightweight user by book nerd standards, only about 450 books as of today)

I've had no negative fallout from purchasing a subscription, and they have very good privacy controls for those who don't want the social aspect (so you can basically turn off other user interactions in many ways). It's there when I need it, doesn't seem to spam me and I probably paid with Paypal (I use Paypal as a way to not give 3rd parties my CC info, a proxy if you will) like most things.

It may look old school and appear at a glance like it's not maintained, but it's updated and run actively, there are a bajillion people using LibraryThing.

Fsync is not synonymous with transactions. Not using fsync anywhere means there's a wide window that can be over 10 minutes long when data can be lost when a server gets an unplanned shutdown.

Good platform, thanks for sharing! It's a little sad to me that SF is a one-party town, and thus the real work of governance happens in the back rooms like this, but I think it's great that you're tackling that head on.
We have been thinking about this a lot in my company (RudderLabs - where we have built an open-source product around auto-tracking). Totally agreed that managing/using all this auto-track data can be really overwhelming and sometimes it is just easier to just generate the events via code. Your maintainability point is also very important - with events generated via code, you have a single owner for updating the website and updating the events as opposed to auto-track where the responsibilities are split between website developer and marketer.

However, there are interesting use cases that are only possible via auto-tracking. Let's say a particular link on your website is broken (e.g. takes to an old sign-up page which is broken). You will be able to identify that that broken click "automatically" because the ratio of successfully signed up vs not-signed up users would be very low for people who click on that vs those who don't.

You can automatically highlight many such interesting insights by doing some basic stats counting. If you throw more advanced MLish stuff, you can find really interesting (but sometimes hard to explain) insights.

Unless you are able to watch them every waking hour, this is simply not possible. At some point you have to cook, clean and generally do all the stuff that needs doing without worrying too much about your child hurting itself.
When chemists were asked, at the end of the 19th century, whether the the atoms in their molecular diagrams were real, they always said, "No, that's just a model we use." It wasn't until Brownian motion needed actual atoms that they began to say atoms had objective reality.

Cosmologists could learn a lot from 19th-century chemists.
I don't see this as a real issue because of course this protocol can only prove that a certain website existed as represented at that time. It's impossible to prove something didn't exist anyways. Can you prove I'm not wearing 8 different hats stacked on top of each other right now? No, impossible without a video recording and method of biometric verification both time-stamped showing I wasn't wearing the hats. This only works because there is arguably only one me at a time.
AWS just introduced Kendra to do the same thing. They will likely suffer the same concerns. Google had a search appliance that I thought was a brilliant idea but never got much traction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Search_Appliance
Thank you for the correction
Git doesn't work very well when trying to version control things which aren't text and are large binary files. There's an acceptable workaround which is only a little awkward with git-lfs.

The general consensus is that putting big files in git means you're doing something wrong and the problem is with your environment not git. (or there are special-purpose tools for your kind of workflow which handle the specifics of your use case, like CAD/CAM/etc.)

Workflows like that generally don't fit into nice little boxes anyway the way source code management does.
what about amazon?
The problem is that these topics get enough press that the general public has heard of them. It's nice that there are no obvious consequences if dark matter or dark energy turn out to be fiction. But the public will hear that "scientists" were wrong about these things they've been talking about for 50 years. Then the public will get another report on a topic like climate change which is also proven by "scientists" albeit different ones. That's an area where the truth of if has real consequences. What are people supposed to think then?
That wouldn't be good enough. The freaks who like to game the system with scary shit would just game that system too. They wouldn't care that they burned their channel.

The only way this works is to have a human review every piece of content before it goes live, like every other streaming service with a kids section does.
I'll believe it when I see it and it's an actual improvement. It's not like "cloud" is some sort of Platonic embodiment of goodness and anything that is "cloudier" than an alternative is automatically better. All the attempts to put code in "databases" I've ever seen make easy things sorta easy and make medium things way harder and you can just forget about hard things; if I can't do the equivalent of "perl -pi -e 's/OldVariable/NewVariable/g' then it just isn't going to displace a file system for me. Not because I need that exact commmand or perl, but for what it represents, the ability to just do things to my code as needed, without needing to wait for someone to implement an API or sluggishly do it over a network. Another example would be just throwing a code analysis tool at my code without needing some sort of permission from my "cloud code provider".

File systems haven't been disappearing, they've just been getting hidden from users. I have seen exceedingly little evidence that anything beyond merely hiding them is actually happening in the industry. "Stick all the files in databases" seems to be seeing no penetration beyond music collections, which at this point, I think we can call a "mere use case" rather than the vanguard of a revolution, since it's a good 10-15 years old minimum.
The fear is that unkid friendly video could get through so it would need to happen per video.
Depends on the size of company you are working for. I know for certain that most I’ve worked for didn’t have the budget to pay millions in salary to the CEO.

Though I guess the same limit would have applied in the US, I think the way people look at it is different.
I suspect that the $20 price tag is “per carload” (or vanload, etc.). In other words, it’s only expensive per-book because it isn’t used much. I currently live in South Carolina, and I can use the local library’s website to request an inter-library transfer from several other library systems in the state. I know they wouldn’t make it that easy if they were paying $20 per transfer. On the other hand, your library is probably paying $20/transfer because they do everything they can to make transfers rare.
Corporations (billions in revenue or otherwise) are not good substitutes for parenting.

NEVER AGAIN YOUTUBE
How I hacked my Airbnb neighbor’s smart lock (and you can, too!)
You don't need to make a whitelist decision on everything though. Youtube Kids doesn't need to be like Facebook, it doesn't need to moderate everything that's posted. You can be highly exclusionary, you can ignore posts by smaller creators.

It's fine for Youtube Kids to be a much smaller selection of manually curated videos from specific partners, because Youtube Kids isn't replacing Youtube as a whole.

Given that their current solution basically kills ad revenue on those videos anyway, it's not like creators are going to be clamoring to be included on Youtube Kids in the first place. There's no harm in having a subset of Youtube that is highly gatekept, the same way that subsets like Youtube Red were.

Go ahead and let Youtube itself stay as a kid-unfriendly, algorithmically moderated wild west with hidden bombs of objectionable content spread around. That doesn't need to be gotten rid of, just have one corner on a separate subdomain that's nice and safe for kids.
This is not the implication at all.

Clickhouse can easily add fsync, they just choose not to do it.

Mongodb also did not use fsync and was ridiculed for it, yet no one mentions this about clickhouse.
Some argue, Nial Ferguson comes to mind, that private property rights and rule of law are what has brought success to civilization. It is funny reading this thread. Your post pointedly reminds us that we could live under regimes that have no qualms in seizing our property. I’m reminded that in the US our founders wrote of life, liberty, and happiness. There was an earlier version, life, liberty, and property.
You can do it, but it's not cheap for the airlines to retrain pilots. Adding another type of aircraft to an existing fleet is also expensive, because it's difficult to maintain currency on multiple aircraft types. This means that you can't swap crews between flights and you need to maintain more reserve crews. This is one of the reasons Southwest only flies 737s -- they never need to retrain for another aircraft type, they can swap any crew for any other crew, and they only need reserves for one aircraft type.

The inherent flight characteristics of the 737MAX are very similar to the 737NG. The difference is only in abnormal, high AoA maneuvers, when the aircraft is being mishandled. MCAS was supposed to correct for this situation. Unfortunately the final MCAS design was highly failure prone and instead of protecting from an abnormal situation, it caused the plane to become uncontrollable.

Fyi: The EU is 20 years old and police isn't in the defense budget. A budget 4 times as large makes a way bigger army.

The USSR military wise, was 5 times as strong and still they collapsed. The Russian economy isn't strong enough to support a war this size in modern times and in the process losing their primary trade partner. The EU can easily spend more on financing a war than Russia, military spending is currently < 2%.

What you mean by fragmented is actually being solved by Russian threats through joint exercises.

A fragmented army ( multiple countries with different strategies) actually won in the past ( WW 2), so history doesn't seem to agree.

You are also forgetting that attacking 1 country is now attacking a continent. You don't know what the response will be or where the threat will come from. The EU also has a lot of allies because of its economic power.

While Russia would send it's army to the Western border, some other Asian countries with approval of the West ( and because they are under attack) would have no trouble seizing Russian land. I'm pretty sure that China would be quick to grab some too ( is the easiest quick win ever for them) and Russia wouldn't be able to stop them. Since their army would be in the West and immobile. Leaving the East open without much resistance or their army fragmented.

Multiple countries ( eg. Poland for one) are already on high alert because of Russian threats.

The power would actually be fragmentation. Russia is just one railroad to slow it's tanks ( transportation). European countries are only unsafe at the border of Russia and perhaps Turkey.

Russia is one HQ ( Moscow) within 80 km from the European border, we have never been this close.

I'm saying that if Russia would actually attack the EU ( which would be incredibly dumb). Russian infrastructure would be easily wiped out and their economy would probably collapse again.

They would also lose a lot of land in the East.

Since 47% of their trade is with the EU, it would cause further "unrest" among Russian population. Nobody would benefit.

Facts differ from propaganda.

I don't even think that actual war with 2 similar countries is possible anymore. The countries that are the most scared for actual war are the ones that censor things.

Eg. Unrest in China about pork prices.

Oh yeah, I forgot nuclear arms. Which would make an actual war very risky. Even with the EU's technical and numerical advantage ;)
The commenter said “before” the flight, so I think it was on the ground.
