"State media" except not directed by a state, the state where YouTube is headquarted has announced cutting funding and has otherwise assigned blame to the organization whose guidelines they are following.

So in no way "state".

It's less "state" than if Walt Disney World had rules about family appropriate clothing (since the Florida granted them municipal control)
Also playing music together. A band or orchestra that gets in the groove is a beautiful thing to be a piece of.
Come on. Rap videos are often grotesque but it’s entertainment, like a horror film.

This video was more like yelling fire in a theater. I’m willing believe the doctors were sincere, but they were gravely wrong, and their misinformation was endangering the public.

YouTube was correct to turn off the alarm they erroneously turned on.

Granted, YouTube’s method of throwing up a standard “violation of community guidelines” message is crude, and leads to suspicion. Then again, so was ABC’s editorial judgment. It’s a hard problem.

It's a great question, and I wish I had more time to delve into it. It really comes down to how a person defines their ethics.

FSF philosophy (which I love but am not 100% in sync with) is detailed here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html

Discussion around why proprietary software is unethical:
https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html

A lot of it ties into theories around power dynamics as well. When you deny someone the freedom to see what is running on their machine, you put the developer/company in an unfair position of power over the user. We have seen that abused time and again for spying purposes and data collection, for example.

Anyway, interesting stuff. I'll try to come back when I get some time.
I have a feeling the 800 or so 737 MAX aircraft will all be scrapped (or just the avionics parted out.)

Besides the AOA sensor system problems, there's been FOD in the fuel tanks, wire chafing and very long periods of AOG.

One of those might not be fatal, but all of them? Doesn't look good.

Wouldn't whiteboard software be better? Like Khan Academy uses? I've been in some physical whiteboard video chat lectures and it's rough; they rarely have a lav mic (which means the audio quality is horrible and you have problems hearing), you need enough space to frame the whiteboard properly with the camera, they're difficult to light because they're reflective, you need to write the correct size so it's legible, you have the problem you often have in person where your hand or body blocks what is being written.

I find cutting to an infinite whiteboard and/or video picture-in-picture to be the easiest way to convey whiteboard ideas. Teachers seem to get really adept at writing with a mouse, but I would heavily suggest investing in a Wacom--even a used 10+ year old Wacom would be sufficient.

> I see we've reached the point in python's popularity where it is cool to hate it. Happened with C++, Java, Javascript, PHP, and now... Python, of all things. Maybe the least bad of all of those.

first of all, this is a non-argument and has nothing to do with what i said. i don't hate python because it's cool. i hate python because i am concerned with building robust and reliable software and python makes that difficult. period. i am wholly unconcerned with what's cool or not and am concerned with developing software that can be relied on, maintained, and extended to help save money, save lives, save time, and makes the technology get out of the way.

those languages you listed are not a useful comparison. they're also terrible.

> Like it or not it's here to stay.

maybe true, but it doesn't mean i should just sit back and accept writing bad code.

> If Scheme (or whatever language you use) was as popular as python you would think it is bad too since most code out there would be made by amateurs, and its flaws (which all languages have) would be unavoidable.

it is true that bad code is bad code, and code written by people who don't take it seriously will not be magically good no matter what language they use. however, some languages make it easier if you do take it seriously. i take it seriously and python fights me.

This article is misleading in one important aspect - the license for the use of the collection of British Museum in commercial settings.

The article states that the collection of the British Museum can be downloaded for free under the Creative Commons license CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). This international license permits the use of the subject licensed materials for commercial purposes. But a deeper look into the British Museum license proves that CC BY 4.0 is not applicable here. The Museum defines its license in specific terms (https://www.britishmuseum.org/terms-use/copyright-and-permis...): the Museum's license specifically excludes commercial use in its license and even gives examples of sites and blogs that promote services, etc. So watch out! Don't rely on the Creative Commons license in this case. If you have a blog and you use one of their photos you may get in trouble. Go into the Museum's site and specifically read their license terms.

Amazon updated their guidance to employees a few years back that we could share our own opinions freely online. That was after the but article and many happy amazonians pointing out they were hamstrung from posting their experiences online. It just seems smart from a customer trust and recruiting standpoint.

Seems like a big opportunity for improved operator ergonomics would be some kind of open standard bus used for simple commanding - could be either electrical or software. This way, a set of "soft buttons" could be provided on the wheel or front panel which can be mapped to actions on accessory equipment, so that e.g. starting and stopping the seeder (and perhaps seeing its OK/NG status) could be done without having to reach around to its own controller.

This would be fairly simple to implement using a commodity serial bus if everyone could get together and agree on something, but I don't know if agricultural implements have enough of a vendor lock-in paradigm that e.g. the tractor manufacturer would be discouraged from building features to support third-party implements.

When a large private organization or a few of them control virtually all public discourse (the digital public square), their choices are in effect as dangerous and impactful as the government taking the same action.

Additionally, these tech platforms currently enjoy Section 230 protection. If they’re now in the business of curating what they publish, they should no longer be granted that protection.

Or, you know, go full obfuscation: minify your JavaScript before your ship it!

Back in the day, we used Mozilla's Rhino as a JS engine -- if you're not familiar, it was a JS engine that compiled JS to Java byte code, literally putting the Java in JavaScript (or vice versa?). IIRC every function became a Java class, which made for some serious weirdness when it came to debugging garbage collection (new anonymous function? more permgen usage!)...

We shipped a .jar for on-prem installation. Needless to say, anyone who tried to decompile got a hilariously confusing set of Java code. :)

I think you vastly underestimate the diversity and types of people you'd find even in monocultural small towns. Being born in a town of 1000 people and moving all around the world, it's pretty strange the way people tend to look down on some places. There's plenty of variety within people that you'll quickly become aware of when you sit down are and expected to deal with them.
Paypal has its own issues. Such as disputes, its easier to dispute with my bank than to dispute with Paypal.

My Twitch account was accessed and the person made a whole bunch of purchases on my account. Twitch customer service basically doesn't exist, so I went to paypal. Paypals system throttled me when I tried to report each action.

With my bank, I can call a number, say "These are all fake" they instantly cancel and refund my money, and I can file chargeback / fraud paper work.

Paypal has a long ways to go customer service and customer experience wise still.

Even professionals devoted to measuring life with statistics try to adjust it for "quality", subjective as that may be.

People who live a long time, because of healthy lifestyles, genetics, and modern medicine, often spend a very long time at the end that is really miserable and pointless.

I feel like either you should know what that is like, from knowing people in their 80s or 90s, or you should know that you don't know. If you spend some time visiting a nursing home, do you ever think "gee, every additional month, or year, or decade that I might spend in a place like this is worth any sacrifice in the prime of my life"?
I am yet to write more about this, but one thing that bothers me with Filecoin: the economics don't add up. The price per GB stored will tend to reach an equilibrium around the commodity price - i.e, costs of disks+computers+electricity+internet. Unless I am missing something, if the price gets higher, more people would buy disks and put them online, bringing the price down.

If that is true, it means that a node can only be profitable if you are freeloading. And if you are freeloading, any price you get will be good which means that it tends to go even further down, perhaps even below the commodity cost. I may be missing something, but I really don't see this going beyond techies with spare disks playing around and definitely no way to run a Filecoin node on a VPS profitably.

Modding DOS/Windows and other closed-source applications is really not comparable to having the fully commented and documented code along with the full VCS history.

I too was unable to convince my family but based on your comment I just thought of a new (to me) example I might have tried. It leverages the grasp of fractions that you mentioned people already have.

Everyone knows that 1/3 = .333... and it can be pretty easily shown that 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3 = .666...

So I would ask them that since .333... + .333... = .666... does it make sense that .333... + .333... + .333... = .999...? And since .333... = 1/3 isn't .333... + .333... + .333... = .999... the same as saying 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3? And since 3/3 = 1 and 3/3 = .999... it makes sense that 1 = 3/3 = .999...

This might work on your kids but in my experience recalcitrant people will either act bored as if they don't care or will try to claim that somehow they understood it all along.
Should they have that right though?

YouTube is owned by a Google, a massive, publicly-traded corporation with near-monopoly power.

Are the best interests of society served by allowing it to be governed in an authoritarian, totalitarian fashion, or would it make sense, considering it is one of the most powerful mediums of speech ever created, to let it be governed by rules somewhat approximating the much-lauded, traditional, western liberal values of free speech?
Perhaps Amazon Prime will be the exquisite pinch. It will have trained all of us to expect immediate gratification (ruling out other online retailers) but Amazon itself cannot be trusted to deliver what you order. So we return to the Best Buy, which offers immediate delivery and authentic products!
>> as soon as really convincing yet nasty deepfakes of senators and representatives start making the rounds and spreading on Facebook, I suspect a new law will get passed incredibly quickly.

No. This isn't a new area of law. Legal "Deepfakes" have been around a long while. There is even a supreme court case covering the matter: Falwell, 1988. That involved a fake interview with Billy Graham, using his image and putting words in his mouth. If the 1988 supreme court wouldn't protect the reputation of a national religious leader, they aren't going to do so for politicians today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustler_Magazine_v._Falwell

This is from the movie, but it is accurate to what was said. This interaction really did change supreme court procedure, introducing a far less formal back-and-forth oral argument. Jokes were almost unheard of before this case.

2000+ bookmarks.

If I need a specific bookmark, I press Shift + B in the browser and search for "linux SSH install" to get that particular page.

The reason I get that page is; I made a hashtag when I saved it as my bookmark. I try to come up with tags to find them back in seconds.

The reason I don't use FireFox tags itself is that if I imported the bookmarks into Chrome I lose the tags. And with my "solution" I don't lose them.

Umm you're not charged for using ENIs. You're thinking of elastic IPs.

Please check your facts before making these claims.
Yeah, this is really where they get you.

For context, if you were to buy 10Gbps of dedicated internet transit, he.net is currently advertising that for $900/month.

If we convert that to GB per month it's 3,240,000GB, so we can calculate what AWS would charge based on list prices.

Using their pricing calculator:
https://calculator.aws/#/createCalculator

Outbound from Cloud Front or US West (Oregon) to the Internet:

$165,891.11

That's a 184 x increase in price!

So yeah, you have to buy networking gear and other stuff, but you can get quite a bit of gear for $165K/month. Now you don't really want to run that 10Gbps link flat out like that, but you get the point.

The AWS markup on bandwidth costs is absolutely insane.

Pro tip: if you have a large enough cloud provider spend, you can negotiate the bandwidth prices down quite a lot, given their markup, they have some room to move.

I wonder if that's because of the US' relationship with philanthropy? I have no idea about the rest of the world, but with friends who teach in the US I hear about "[So and so] donated a classroom full of iPads" with no real support or curriculum or what to do in a few years when they're out of date. They donated tech because it's sexier than donating paper and whiteboard markers. All while books are falling apart and they struggle for resources to make photocopies.

I don't know of the source, but when I was in HS in the late 90s each teacher got a computer due to some initiative. None of the teachers knew what to do with it and at the time tech got obsolete quickly. A computer purchased in 1995 was dog-slow compared to what was sold in 1999. We had a "computer lab" built, but no classes or teachers qualified to teach so it was empty most of the time. You can say technology in the classroom is a chicken-and-egg problem, but that assumes technology is some savior and resources weren't better spent on traditional school resources.
This sounds about right to me. The last time I was doing that kind of work it was at slightly large scale than that, and it always modeled out cheaper to stay with our on gear, in colocation space.
Even if the school has dozens of Chromebooks, half the kids may not have internet or a safe space to study.
