My five year old walked up and said "hello!" and waved because she assumed I was in a Zoom meeting with the woman in the video.
Not to speak for dang, but such a broad and potentially inflammatory assertion typically warrants references or at least some elaboration on how you came to that position
True. But it also teaches kids to work on schedule, follow rules, and do what they're told.
The author of this article probably doesn't have the expertise to find and interpret the data to make a judgment about what the doctors in question are saying. Quoting others is really the best can do. Sometimes there really is just no window look through.

And even if they did that it wouldn't really serve what the author here is trying to cover. This is an article about Youtube censoring two doctors. The reason why is relevant (and they quote Youtube's reasoning) but it's not the main story.

Not that the article is amazing, but it's just frustrating people are piling on because it's not the story they wanted the author to write.
This always seems a bit circular to me? If you participate, then you are in the market, and you become part of its efficiency. Ergo, you are correct.
Unbuilt Highways of San Francisco (2011)
Speaking up for a household that has one “non-working parent”: they aren’t benefiting either. Nobody is.

We have three kids (8, 6, and 3) and my wife and I are just happy if we can get through the day without anyone breaking an arm, which I’m sad to say we failed at a few days back. Oops!
Your song is amazing. It’s been a decade since I heard it, and the chorus would still occasionally play in my head.
Sen Hawley Calls for a Criminal Probe into Amazon
I recently gave in and picked up a Fiio BTR3. 11 hours, decent quality, and I get to continue using my nice, comfortable IEMs. I'll probably wind up getting a better-quality unit in the future. Even though it's still one more thing to charge, at least the sound is decent (not on the same level as a desktop amp, but I wouldn't expect that).
The US can make mistakes and guess what - the political oppression and police abuse in China is still nothing short of evil.
Thanks for flagging! Fixed.
The Nim Memory Model (2019)
Genuinely curious, did you think "ML" stood for anything else? My day to day work is not machine learning but if I ever see ML, "machine learning" is the first thing I think of.
The death counts rise extremely quickly, but also drop quickly as well. The total amount of deaths is represented by the area of under the graph, not the maximum. This is a tall, but narrow spike.

Also, bear in mind that you're being very selective with your data: you're picking out one of (the?) most densely populated centers, which also happens to be an international travel hub
The statement about fauci is also blatantly false. He did go out of his way to treat an (multiple?) ebola patient in 2015 for example
I think the current scenario has to be treated as a special case. Spreading falsehoods on this topic can do too much damage to the whole community. We should separate the general discussion of companies having too much power vs. what needs to be done right now.
The overwhelming number of websites utilized for an elementary school education drastically overcomplicates attempting to complete my son's school work..

Just for math alone, often times to complete a single day's activitiy, four different websites are involved, usually all requiring different login/password information.

I am a technology junkie and always have been, but I definitely miss the days from my own schooling where everything I needed to both learn and do in Math for the day was in a single textbook... It's sad how much we have complicated things with technology.

Now they have completely changed how math should be done, require many extra "steps" that seem to be unnecessary that parents were never taught, and do not provide a book at all for reference of what these new methods are. It almost seems like they are trying to make learning as frustrating as possible.
Pretty sure I heard them extrapolating a selection bias to the entire population at 4:20.
> they're just stopping them posting it on THEIR service. Newspapers do that all the time, TV and Radio does it all the time. Why is this different?

Newspapers, TV programs, and radio programs are publishers. In contrast, Youtube, Facebook, and other services like them are platforms. They are more like the theater building, the radio/TV station, or a telephone company. This gives them some legal protection against being held responsible for the conduct of their users. See [1]. Without this distinction, these services could not have taken off, because Youtube and Facebook would have had to sign off on each user's post.

But advancing technology is making it possible to police speech automatically. So the distinction between the publisher and platform is fading. Because platforms can regulate their users' speech now in almost real time, very cheaply, they are kind of forced to do it. Some speech is very hard to defend. The best, and easiest argument for allowing offensive speech on these platforms has been that the offensive speech could not be technically prevented without squelching a lot of acceptable speech. But now that argument is going away.

I completed Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese on Duolingo (as in level 5/gold completed) and feel like I know the equivalent of at best a 3-month one-hour-a-week type entry level class.

The stuff that works better for me are actually online classes (for example Coursera has 6-part HSK Mandarin classes) since they are well structured, they have lots of video with natives speaking, and they deal with relatively useful topics. Duolingo taught me to say things like "the book was eaten by the yellow horse" before I could even ask someone how old they were.

That said, I feel like they've been going in the right direction by adding things like duolingo stories. If they expand those and add more interactive stuff it could get more interesting.
Thank you so much! Stay safe out there <3
Or some people will realize that remote work isn’t for them and others that hadn’t previously considered it will realize that it does work for them. I’ve been remote for 8 or so years now and in terms of work this pandemic period doesn’t feel different. So that leads me to believe that there will be other people who were previously working from an office but also have a space in their home that is conducive to remote work will decide that they want to continue working this way.
> For better or worse, America was built on the idea that I can have an absolutely stupid idea and that's my right.

> That's a core tenant of free speech

I'd disagree heavily with this assessment based on these two points.

The founding fathers drew much of their inspiration from Hobbes who wrote that liberty involved ceding some "sovereign power" (liberty) to a state so that we could be free to do things without worrying about survival of the fittest.

I believe it was Jefferson that was vehemently against government officials making false claims / lying...which is a limitation of free speech, but results in a net surplus of free speech.

The idea that all speech should be free is a fairly ignorant one.

> and voice it with youtube being my megaphone.

And this is ABSOLUTELY against any sort of semblance of the ideas America was founded on. YouTube is a private platform. They can (and SHOULD) police their speech, because it is a private platform.

YouTube is ultimately socially responsible for the outcomes of what people say on it's platform. If someone is denying or minimizing a VERY REAL and VERY SERIOUS global pandemic, YouTube had a social obligation to curtail their free speech.
5% margins, which are in the realm of normal, on $12MM/year would be $600k. If you didn’t ship $3MM worth of product, that would be five years of profit.

But also: shit happens to people. They get into debt. Businesses go bad. There’s a reason Amazon has a system in place to flag and shutdown this pattern of activity. Maybe it was wrong in this case, but it exists for a reason. Chesterton’s Fence and all that.
Youtube is very easy to build.

AWS has all of the components e.g. hosting, CDN, transcoding, live streaming, analytics, ML. You could easily put together an MVP in a weekend.

Of course you would have to convince people to visit and pay for the content to cover your traffic costs. But since I am sure this content is so incredibly popular and valuable there will be no shortage of people willing to do this.
> There are likely deaths that are collateral damage. Fewer people are going to hospitals for heart attacks and strokes.

And on the flip side, there are people who might have died of things like car accidents if the pandemic and subsequent lockdown had not taken place.
Explorer under W98 was basically IE. Kinda like KDE3 with Kparts, but far more insecure.

I hate this argument because it breaks down at the scale at what YouTube is. Viemo and Daily Motion don't even begin to compare in scale and reach. At what point is a company's reach so big they control the means of distribution? How many people even know what a PeerTube instance is?
That’s what I wondered too. If it was all part of a particular kind of brain. He reminded me too much of my ex-husband, also a high level programmer, and his sleep habits and growing apathy and irritability while we were together (though he might point to me as the cause). Not to say my software engineer ex has the same condition, but maybe he has a touch of it. So many of us have just a touch of something that is clinical in someone else.
From this source it looks like excess deaths are at least 2x higher than those attributed to coronavirus.

Sure, that's plausible.

I'm making the claim that deaths are also under-reported, and at a rate that could be consistent with the existing known rate reported.

That's not plausible. The current case fatality rate (known deaths divided by known cases) is 5.7% according to https://infection2020.com/#. Nobody seriously believes that 5% of infected people end up dying; the most pessimistic estimates are between 1 and 2 percent. (Which would of course still be extremely bad).
I don't care about left or right when it comes to listening to viewpoints. I listen/read to Vox, Vice, Salon, Slate, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NYTimes, WaPo, TheHill, WSJ, Fox, Breitbart, Tim Pool, David Packman, Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan etc which covers a wide variety of viewpoints. I think it's important for people to listen to both sides to have a balanced viewpoint. As long as the person/news is providing me with the original source of their info which I can read and verify myself, I will listen.

I don't simply trust what the media tells me, I look for the actual source and verify that what the media says is actually what the original source says. I also often wait 2-7 days when some breaking news comes out to actually make a decision about the news as often things turn out to be wrong now a days. We live in a clickbait era where there's an incentive for media to spout nonsensical headlines - therefore verifying it myself is important.
Did you watch the video? That is not what they did. What you're describing is a brief anecdote they shared about what they were seeing on the ground. Their statistics are based on state level aggregates for New York and California.
Yes, and Sweden has excess mortality that is higher than a bad flu year for Sweden, and the excess mortality matches up pretty well with the official covid-19 death count.

Which means that covid-19 is deadlier than the flu.

Just look at the excess mortality statistics for a bunch of European countries: https://euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

Many are seeing sharp increases in mortality, higher than normal flu years. If covid-19 isn't deadlier than a normal flu, then death rates must have spiked in all these countries because of something else. That is one extraordinary claim if I ever saw one.

(In addition, it's false that Sweden isn't doing a lockdown. Sweden is simply one of the countries that have enacted the least harsh lockdown measures. It's a grayscale, not binary.)
> If you don't own the copyright to your entire training data set, you are infringing by publishing something the model produces as I see it.

I suspect that would be an absolutely terrible standard in practice. I realize you specifically have deepfakes in mind, but consider that in more general terms those are outputs from a machine learning algorithm. Such outputs will inevitably fall on a continuum regarding the degree to which they resemble a distinctive art style, voice, personality, or other metric.

It seems unreasonable to me that it should be illegal to use arbitrary input data to train a NLP translation model or an image classifier. Farther along the spectrum of outputs, style transfer GANs don't seem like they should be a violation of the law. Should TWDNE really be against the law to host? (https://www.thiswaifudoesnotexist.net/) According to your proposed standard, it would be.

Even as a college student, same. My quality of learning has seriously gone down the hill without the same access to my peers for homework and projects
That's great to hear. I hope they have big funding, because they will need it.
I guess I will eagerly await the price drop from these highly competitive products that aren't designed to be used in the others ecosystem.
>By that logic can they remove videos claiming masks are effective at protecting yourself and society from the virus?

Cry wolf when this actually happens. I try not to be dismissive, but the repeated harping about masks strikes me as a lack of original thought at best and a coordinated smear campaign at face value.

We get it: the WHO should've recommended masks full-throatedly. But your interpretation that a YouTube policy will be applied maliciously without any justification for why doesn't convince me.

I am definitely on the lockdown side of things, and I think NYC especially bungled their response, but I also don't think this is a fair comparison- NYC is so much more densely packed.
> If you assume deaths would decrease with less people driving / going in public, that could be even more.

You can't make that assumption because of things like suicides and people delaying treatment for serious acute health issues.
We should also point out that the WHO is once removed from a state body. Youtube could have easily adopted CDC guidelines as their measuring stick, in which case Youtube would be censored by the United States government.

Then the question becomes, hows does the government decide what is and what isn’t misinformation? The overwhelming answer should be ‘government shouldn’t be determining that’.

We have to be careful with this kind of stuff.
> The easy take would be that a lot of people are finding out how the other half lives...

...and that the market has already priced in the uncertainty. So long as the expected value improves, the markets can weather a long tail of suffering absent political upheaval that might change the game.

The media has spent years trumpeting that things are broken and precarious. That many folks cannot pay their mobile phone bills or cable bills or credit card bills at the first hint of a downturn is not news.
When the old layout stops I will actually stop using it. The new layout isn't useable for me really.
Sorry. I should have put that in scare quotes.

And to be clear, I'm not arguing that he was murdered. I was just pointing out that some Muslims consider that he was murdered. I mean, the doctor who led the CIA to him is still in jail, and likely will be for the rest of his life. And the lawyer who defended him was murdered by the Taliban.
Not worth a couple trillion dollar. One plane is 250 million, and I reckon there were 150 of them. So, 35-40 billions.
It's MAGA if you count only trillion dollar companies.
For what it's worth VPC ranges are allowed to overlap in GCP -- and do by default -- but then you aren't able to peer them. I kind of prefer the DO/AWS constraint.
The CIA telling you or not isn't really a factor if we know about it from a leak, they're not deciding.

But more realistically if their cloud seeding was like so many other attempts...they don't know if it works or not.
Rust isn't that difficult to prototype or start projects with? What trouble do you run into? I think the hardest parts to understand are the concepts of borrowing, lifetimes, and ownership, but you don't have to know all the subtleties of that to prototype. A basic understanding is fine to get started with. Just like a developer doesn't have to understand all the subtleties of generics to get started with either, lots of devs don't know what covariant or contravariant means and use generics.
> That article makes inaccurate statements like, "basically hyped a bunch of data and weren’t transparent about their methods" which is not true. There were 100% transparent about where there information was from and how they were presenting it.

I can vouch for their transparency. The speed with which I was able to see that their statistical methods were totally wrong was almost entirely due to their transparency. The only fact I had to find outside of what they said was the criteria for testing in the county for which they cited statistics, which I found at https://kernpublichealth.com/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-...

"Testing is NOT indicated for asymptomatic persons."

The doctors' statistics in the quote below don't work because of sampling bias.

“In Kern County, we’ve tested 5,213 people and we have 340 positive COVID cases. Well, that’s 6.5 percent of the population. Which would indicate a widespread viral infection similar to the flu,”

I went to a poor school. 42 kids to some classes, not enough desks, couldn't bring the literally falling-apart history books home because we only had one classroom set of really old ones. Did full IB and went to Caltech and then got a PhD, myself. Another friend/classmate is an astrophysics prof now, and another runs social interventions to prevent gang violence for the city, and another is a DJ at our local music station, another's a veterinarian, people went to Princeton MIT Cornell and fine community colleges, blah blah blah. The people I just listed are men & women, black white Asian, from immigrant and non-immigrant parents.

There were definitely racial and socioeconomic biases baked into my high school, but despite being poor we have produced a great community and great people. High quality education can be provided even to poor kids, and it makes a difference. Public schools can make a difference.

Teaching yourself English from YouTube works for some, but it's not the norm. Education matters.
What about arson?
Exactly - there's so many people spreading this conspiracy theory bullshit and it's completely farcical even at a glance. Like do they think it's normal during flu season to have to bring in tens of refrigerated trucks to act as temporary morgues? [1]

The pattern is so transparent too - telling us to listen to "both sides", and implying we're being biased when we dismiss obvious misinformation. I can't help that the American right is so detached from reality.

There's a global pandemic. This bullshit will literally kill people. YouTube is a private company, and they have every right to remove this from their system.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/nyregion/coronavirus-new-...
We can't tell yet. That's the problem with all this bullshit. Science does not let you predict the future. It's like that old mathematics quote, "All models are wrong. Some models are useful."

We really have no idea what the results of US vs Sweden or Tennessee vs Virginia will hold up by looking at it now. We need to wait 12 months, look back, add some margins of error, find correlations and debate about the potential causes.

I can understand everyone being upset and wanting things now. People are dying. Other people are 2 months behind on all their bills and going to food banks for the first time in their lives to feed their families. Despite the contrary, most States are still denying unemployment to independent contractors and business owners like hair dressers.

But making any type of prediction at this point is irrational. We need to weight everything. It's not as simple as Lives vs Economy .. the economy provides for lives.
I would prefer if youtube could organize their channel so dubious opinions had a voice and rebuttal. That would be better than just removing them.

Even more, Youtube has the problem that it's algorithms push people TOWARDS the most dubious, conspiracy-driven views until and unless youtube actually removes the video.

So Youtube has multiple things to balance and removing harmful bullshit is the best of the triage they seem to be able to do on their platform.

And I had a couple of my less-informed, more mentally unstable Facebook friends sharing those videos along with angry screams about the shutdown being unnecessary - one friend prefaced the video with "that does, I'm not wearing a mask any more" (he works at a hospital, I kid you not).
Whole Company’s Microsoft Teams Data Could’ve Been Stolen with an ‘Evil GIF’
Sure, but the WHO is still ostensibly a global organization that dispenses credible medical advice. Whatever I may think of the WHO, I'm not sure what org could possibly be a better choice to follow for a multinational service.
The point is that copyright doesn't apply to someone's image or likeness - that's trademark! Copyright only applies to a work itself (at least in the US).

A deepfake Elvis video of a song that he didn't write would be subject to copyright by the original author of the song and to trademark by the owner of Elvis's likeness. However, it seems plausible that such a trademark claim might fail because (among other things) it should be apparent to a viewer that it isn't actually Elvis.
They compared them to several countries as well, so your statement is misleading.
Can do a "constexpr void inf() { for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i) i = 0; }" as a shorter proof.
