I would like to think about it another way. Suppose you are a "Youtuber" and you have tens of thousands of subs and use it as an income. You agree to their guidelines and they, in turn, become hugely popular due to your content and your fellows. But their guidelines grow more vague and harsh randomly and without warning.

Now, Youtube closes your channel, again, without warning or explanation. You don't have the money for a lawyer to sue and contract laws continue to trend Youtube's favor to control creators - esp. if those that go against political narratives that are officially "untrue." Alphabet Inc censors results for China, you don't think they do it for the US?

Does that sound fair and just? Look at what happened to Alex Jones. Was he a nut - yea, but he was shut down across every platform at once. Which is censorship - good or bad.

There is a media cartel and they have grown to control the internet by waiting for good products and companys to come about and either killing them or corrupting them. Think Snapchat, Vine, Google, Youtube, Reddit, Ring, etc, etc.

Couple of their quick mental math when asked questions were wrong but most of it is sane and matches other sources.
The problem with unrestricted free speach is that it's not the person who is right who is heard, but the person who has the biggest pockets. It becomes even easier if the message is a simple answer to a complex problem.

The noise with deep pocket can just drown out the voice of reason. So it ends in the right of the strongest.
People are literally dying all the time, and still, every single day, twice as many people are born as have died from COVID-19 over its entire course, worldwide.
I may actually do this tomorrow. Thanks for the idea. Didn’t realize it was an option. The worst part is just waiting for it to happen.
> Coronavirus lasts on plastics for 3 days, and we're all sheltering in place. Where'd you get your water bottles from? Costco. Where'd you get that plastic shovel from? Home Depot. Those are fomites and carries of disease... and if I swab things in your home, I would likely find COVID-19.

> When you go to Del Taco and you get a plastic bag or piece on your burrito from someone not wearing a mask who's just wiping their arm on your thing, do you think you're protected from COVID?

The point isn't that chance of infection goes to zero. Yes of course there are still transmission vectors, the point is to reduce the transmission rate. Even if there is a small chance of catching covid from your water bottles or dell taco, those chances are also reduced relative to no lockdown because the people who would be transmitting that virus to you are less also less likely to be sick.

> We wear masks in an acute setting to protect us. We're not wearing masks, why is that? 'Cuz we understand microbiology, we understand immunology, and we want strong immune systems. I don't want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system, and come out and get diseased.

Then these guys are selfish, putting their own desire for health above the needs of their more vulnerable familty, friends, neighbors and fellow citizens.

> Is the flu less dangerous than COVID? Let's look at the death rates, no it's not. They're similar in prevalence and in death rate.

Covid outpaced the standard flu season's death total in less than half the time and did it in the face of the most draconian public health measures in a century (or ever depending on your location).
You're being downvoted because your comment hits too close to home here. Regarding Docker (which I hate like the plague when it's being naively used for "microservices" as an excuse for architecture by the infanterists of our profession), an argument could be made that it helps density in data centers such that fewer physical machines and VMs need to run all the time, though I believe this is offset by network overhead, ruining any advantage it may have when considering total energy consumption. Regarding overuse of webapps and JavaScript, though, there's really no excuse for the React and co overkill. Apple, Google, and Firefox should display a little indicator/traffic light of sorts warning about high energy use. Google could also flag/penalize the worst offenders in search results, etc.
Even those revolutions that were overtly for the people were subvertly actually for elevating and empowering the inner circle of the revolution leaders. I'd love to find an example of a national government that prioritizes the well being of the majority rather than the personal profits of the oligarchy, but I don't believe one exists or has existed for some time.
Even in other places, that's an issue.

I'm in the San Jose Unified School District here in the Bay Area, and it's hugely diverse. Because of that diversity, the district has been reluctant to mandate any specific online ed requirements, so as not to appear discriminatory toward the families who don't have the ability to participate in online learning. In return, that actively harms the families who can. Currently, all the assignments are "suggested", are ungraded, and the teachers are only "suggested" to schedule 2 online class meetings per week. what this means is that kids in families who are willing & able to maintain learning pace are being told both that 1) here is the list of weekly assignments 2) your teacher is only going to be marginally available, and 3) none of this work is going to be graded.

This is the on time in my parenting experience where it's been 100% clear that private schools have a night & day advantage over public schools and districts.

I think Uber had a pretty clear path to profitability prior to this. The only open question was could they raise prices enough to not drive customers away and not be undercut by Lyft. Lyft is in the same boat, so it would probably be like when airlines started charging for checked bags--once one does it, they all do. As for the demand curve? I think they could make it work. Like Wework, what Uber does is a real business. It just got over-hyped.

Not sure why people are downvoting you as if you're attacking their news source, at least here in America I can name two news orgs for which people would easily agree lean on opposite ends: Fox and CNN. The difference in their focus is night and day when you think of how they report on the President. It is astounding. Then there's the lack of following up on sources like the MAGA high schoolers media fiasco.

It’s faux/facetious hostility. And it’s I response to a naive/offensive/belittling comment.

I’ve not worked in a company as big as Uber, but just in mid sized companies with also midsized markets and there is never an end to the work that needs done. I don’t see why it’s hard to believe it takes a lot of hands to build something like Uber.

And I think you’re wrong that you could have built Uber/Twitter/facebook even with what you k ow after the fact. You could have built a toy simulacrum, but put it before millions of users and it’d fall apart, and not just from scale, but missing features; all the different OSs, regional controls, payment controls, mapping, pricing models, etc.

If there was a spec for one of these companies it’d be thousands of thousands of pages long and most of it you don’t know about; no single person could.

So a little faux hostility seems warranted.

They have no secret sauce. Every other service favors bandwidth savings over video quality, zoom did the reverse.
Let's keep citing some famous failures to dismiss anything market might predict because these few examples mean none of it can be useful information. We obviously know better than the market and if we don't it's because markets are full of shit and manipulated by the feds. Furthermore all companies are evil, greedy and nobody wants to build things that develop and grow the world. All decisions made are corrupt and no one cares for our best interests.
This is how most schools are handling it. Some combo of things like Google Classroom, zoom/webex/meet meetings, and various other apps & sites and online activities. They prescribe book reading, art & PE, but those are hard to track so they're typically not part of an online curriculum.

You also need to understand that if a kid has 2hr worth of work online, the odds are good they'll sit in front of the computer all day unless someone is supervising them. This is the real issue, especially for younger children.
> These two doctors, under the pretense of medical expertise, provided false information, and used Youtube to do it.

Not according to the article. The local TV station interviewed them and the local TV station put the video on YouTube.

Presumably as they are licensed to practice medicine in the State of California they do have some expertise greater than those of us without MDs so it's hardly 'pretense'. Is wearing scrubs on camera a ridiculous rhetorical device? Yes. Were these guys wrong on some facts? Absolutely. Were they wrong on policy recommendations? Much, much harder to say.

What's astonishing though is the ease with which people seem to be willing to turn over their civil liberties and place themselves under house arrest.

We have to sit through three years of the echo chamber telling us Donald Trump is a fascist, and then finally when our freedom to assemble is literally stripped from us by the police power of the state, people are complaining that he's not fascist enough. Geez.
Congratulations to you for avoiding the Glen Beck hysteria, but if you have to ask for Glen Beck examples of him pushing conspiracy theories, you’re really out of the loop.

It is a natural development process in most children.
However, at least in Win 98 SE, PostScript drivers finally worked… sort of…

Fun fact: Up to NS4 / IE4, you couldn't print a JavaScript generated HTML output, which was a major restriction in the days, when "the Internet" was commonly printed by a assistant for the benefit of a higher echelon, for whom the Web mostly came on paper. However, for whatever reasons, with a PostScript printer you could. (Generally speaking, pages were reloaded and reflowed for printing and JS generated content didn't work well with printer drivers which did also RIPping. Apparently, the process was somewhat different with PS printers.)

This is an assumption of yours for which there's insufficient evidence. Or even the evidence is currently rather pointing the other way. What I have is anecdotal evidence from here in Switzerland - adults generally keep distance while children in the neighborhood generally play with each other. We currently are down to ~120 new cases a day across Switzerland, hospitalization taken a sharp downturn and has never exceeded capacity.

It's all a game of numbers - sure, there will be some transmissions if you let children play together in open spaces, but overall, from what current data suggests, it's not a significant vector. We generally have to think like this now, there's no such thing as absolute safety and we really have to think hard about what should be restricted and what negative effects this will have long term. Isolating kids at home for months is IMO not worth it.

On a different note, neither is allowing small businesses to fail in droves even if they can provide a good hygiene concept. Switzerland has also opened up hairdressers since this week - with masks, hand sanitizing and contact tracing being mandatory for everyone. We'll see in a couple of weeks whether this works or not.
Does QUIC or your implementation of it support application control of keying or is it always based on x.509 certs and CAs?

edit: the spec (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-quic-tls-27) seems agnostic on this. Also simple APIs especially in security are important, so supporting certs only is no flaw in my book, just curious about the edges of how the OS QUIC could be used in the future.
There is a difference between silencing dissenters in a scientific discussion and silencing dissenters trying to push a viewpoint to the masses that may or may not result in tens of thousands of deaths if it gets sufficient traction. This is exactly the kind of thing Russian propaganda always tries to achieve: provide confusion and semi-legitimate experts spreading false narratives so that the population does not believe the government anymore - or simply doesn't believe anyone anymore.

> "Free speech" is a right but also an ideal.

The problem with the ideal is that most people have it wrong. "Free speech" is not speech without consequences.

Nobody here thinks that speech should be criminalized but that doesn't mean you have the right to be heard. If nobody wants to associate with you because of your speech, that's their right. You are not entitled to a soapbox.

I feel this post is addressing something else. Serverless is pretty much simple especially with a framework of the same name or on say netlify. All your code is in one repo and you don’t have to worry about the servers at all.

The blogpost is more about orgs deciding to manage their servers too, going full on kubernetes, docket, etc. That’s what complicated everything because now you need dozens of other systems just to make your container architecture work.

But serverless? You need nothing. Just push to a repo and you’re done because someone else is doing the cat herding of running the containers.
Everybody that disagree should go out and do as they want. Let them go take a walk in the hospital without a mask, it's all a game, no?

+1. My next door neighbor is a 3rd grade teacher in a heavily hispanic & underprivileged elementary school. She was telling me today that she still has one student -- one of her best during normal times -- who hasn't been able to get online yet. No internet access at home, lives at home with his undocumented grandparents who immigrated from Central America when his parents were killed by a gang, no one in the house speaks English. School has been closed for >1mo now.

I was talking to my 5th grader's teach last weekend about the next year. She doesn't know, either, but is assuming they're just going to bake in an extra-long review period going into the year. Alternatively, at least in CA, they're contemplating starting the next school year in July rather than August, to provide more time for catch-up. To your point, though, what about the kids who were able to keep pace throughout -- are they going to be forced to repeat half a semester to maintain equity in the classroom? That would be terribly unfair.
Haven't been an issue for me. I pay via credit card, no trouble.
I think math is taught too slow in the U.S.. I remember learning to add, then once I got whatever score on the flash card assessment I got to learn to subtract, then multiply, then divide. Slowly, painfully, and in a way that leaves you bored early, causing you to checkout and fall behind, then you are left wondering why you suck at math later in life.

I think we could stand to move the math curriculum up 3-4 years. Geometry and trigonometry can be taken in 5th grade instead of 9th, algrebra 1-2 in 6-7th grade, then calc in 8th grade, instead of waiting until high school to take these courses. Then in high school, you could offer advanced courses and an actual course progression in statistics, rather than solely AP stats.

Tone down the difficulty, maybe, but there is no reason why these concepts shouldn't be introduced a lot sooner. Basic algebra is pretty intuitive, and in geometry classes you are kinda just plugging and chugging sines and cosines with your calculator anyway. This is coming from someone who sucks at math and wishes they didn't.
The idea that online platforms owe us a right to free speech makes sense because there are so few platforms left online where one can speak. If we had 10 competing video hosting platforms rather than one, I think it would have been great if each of them exercised its own editorial policies, and in fact such policies would have been a competitive differentiating factor. Unfortunately, since we have only one Facebook and only one YouTube and only one Google, every editorial decision that they make immediately puts them in hot water.
I taught in Boston for five years. Something that almost no one outside the profession seems to understand is that a teacher's number one function is to inspire students to work. For the vast majority of students, that requires physical proximity to their teacher.

If all it took was the best lecturers, we could have been doing perfect distance learning since 1982 via UPS and VHS.

Interesting.

So.... forbid all speech that could result in a revolution, then? Say... An American one? Or maybe a Spring one. Or a French one.

I mean.. that's the standard you set up. In before "ARE YOU COMPARING A VIRUS TO A REVOLUTION?" blah. At the risk of overstating my case, life isn't the only valuable thing on earth.
This is a major issue. Most of the Fair halls (like halls where CEBIT etc take place regularly) have been converted to hospitals now.
Robert Koch Institute has asked all hospitals to build seperate wings for CoViD19 patients as the lung infections of those affected will also create after effects that will increase healthcare needs even after the disease is "eliminated".

"But what YouTube is doing would clearly be bad if it was done by a totally different actor in a totally different context" simply doesn't work as a defense here. Yes, it would be bad if the phone company got to decide who made phone calls, but let's pick something closer to the actual context here: "Should comedy clubs get to decide who gets to perform on their stage? Should they stop booking you if you say things that are unpopular?"

Telecommunications companies in the past have been treated as "public functions," legally speaking, because they were explicitly designated so by the state and given limited regional monopolies. The limits on liability afforded to YouTube and similar services do not magically transform them to state actors; they remain private corporations with their own First Amendment rights not to publish and host what they choose not to. This principle has been tested repeatedly in many cases.
