> Rate limits don't have to be distributed mindlessly equally globally.

Yet that's what the grandparent comment is suggesting:

> Can’t Youtube say “given the current accuracy/precision of ML based solutions and how much our manual operations can scale, we are going to rate limit the content that circulates to match our ability of giving the best judgment on what videos to take down and what videos to keep”.

YT already does this abuse-prevention, they just lean towards letting more content on rather than less. The grandparent suggests that they start limiting uploads in a way that more regular uploaders (eg. a few videos a day) would feel, which would warrant some explanation or statement from the company.

> Amazon's DRM on the other hand only lets you lend a book for 14 days. WTF? A real book isn't going to care how long you lend it for. Even many libraries let you extend book loans for months as long as no other patron has placed a hold request for it. The solution? Strip books of their DRM.

When institutions use Adobe's platform to lend out books, they utilize a waiting list for borrowers to que into. You can, in fact, just re-borrow it after 14 days and if nobody else is in line, you get access back immediately. So in reality, the Adobe bloatware solution for a title nobody else wants to read works the same as a physical format in that sense.
This is extortion.
Did Google disclose to you the identity of the party who sent the takedown notice. If not, a lawyer might be able to help here. You have a good case against the other party for extortion, and a weak case against Google for assisting them. There's a strong legal incentive here for Google to disclose the name of the other party, if they are being difficult about doing so. DMCA notices can't be anonymous.

There are definitely faster actuators but I'd guess it's also the control loop(s) filtering out transients from the stepping motion. The backlash in the geartrain, flex in the body and gritty/chunky motion from the servos probably makes a mess in a typical six axis imu.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I actually find eval-based quines MORE beautiful because they highlight the philosophically interesting aspects of quines, such as...

* ...the blurring of the distinction between output and code.

* ...the distinction between name and thing-being-named. (The different "x"'s in my example, within different levels of nested quotes.)

* ...leaky context (local variables defined inside the eval scope ending up outside the eval scope, and vice versa).

Harder quines tend to hide all that behind layers of tedious encoding.

If you're really interested in hard quines, you might be interested in trying to dig up some fully-detailed proofs of Godel's incompleteness theorems. It's the same story there: elegant and beautiful ideas, drowned under mountains of tedious encoding.

I think you're now making a new claim that there's some continuum of customer service responsibility versus profitability. I don't think that was the original claim, and that's not what I'm claiming.

I simply wanted to point out that a statement like "Companies that are wildly profitable should not shirk customer service responsibility" is not logically equivalent to saying, "Companies that are not wildly profitable should shirk customer service responsibilities."

To argue that because you disagree with the inverse of a statement, therefore the statement itself is not valid, is faulty. The inverse of a statement need not be true for the statement itself to be true.

"No company should be let off the hook for having awful customer service" does not preclude judging one of the most profitable companies in the world more harshly for having awful customer service.

What I read from OP's statement is mainly this; we know in this case that it's not for lack of resources. So perhaps we can agree every company has the responsibility, but not all companies have the means. Is it not more reprehensible to fail to provide a service you are responsible for when you have the means to provide it than when you do not?

Or more to the point, it's certainly noteworthy that they could become one of the most profitable companies in the world despite having such widely recognized terrible customer support. One might say it's significant evidence that they are able to maintain their profitability through not entirely competitive means.
It's very product specific. Google Cloud Platform and GSuite have support plans and offerings distinct from other Google services for example. In a prior life I was one of the Googlers handling those support inquiries (all while also trying to scale the support operations)
I’m just saying asking is free. Better to have the conversation than regret. The worst that happens is OP is told no and/or the equity is worthless and moves on to a better opportunity.
Sadly Detroit's Big 3 announced that they believe electric cars are the next big thing so they're cutting back on research for autonomous cars. They're blaming it all on the pandemic. I said publicly that Tesla and Comma.ai would eat their lunch. Now I can add Amazon to the list!

I come from an ex-communist country. So this is probably (hopefully) the only moment my talent of spotting this kind of shit is useful. The thing is that whatever bad behavior the USA committed in the past, and then anxiously analyzed and mulled over for decades... the Chinese are doing day by day, routinely, without ANY remorse or second thought. With the Russians it was different. Sorry to say this, but compared to the Chinese, they had soul. I do not foresee anything like the collapse of the Soviet Union in China. They are too "rational" for it. Not to mention their numbers. Our only hope is Jesus Christ.
US and China at war? I don't know. China at war? By their logic of expansion, I'm afraid it is guaranteed.
You missed the point. Too many people are credulous, and lack a rigorous education in epistemology and the scientific method. This has been a problem forever and isn't something Facebook can fix.

Since some subset of people will invest time in learning technology even if it's complicated, therefore it doesn't matter if it's too complicated? If so, you'd have to show that the number of people using it wouldn't increase were it simpler, with clearer names, etc.

Well, two points.

1. From a completely selfish standpoint, if people aren’t willing to learn about AWS, it helps me out a lot. I’m able to make more money by taking the time to learn it.

2. There are three credible cloud providers -AWS, Azure, and GCP - and Oracle. Amazon is twice as large as Azure and 5 times larger than GCP. It doesn’t seem to be hurting them.

Just like the obtuse clusterf%%% that is modern front end development doesn’t seem to be hurting the adoption by the $cool_kids.

>there is little incentive beyond the government, and they don’t typically work nights and weekends

The government certainly doesn’t pull long hours.

Beyond the military. They do pull some late nights and cold field deployments in the DoD.

And beyond local police and fire. And state troopers. Law enforcement does go late and I’m pretty sure fire departments deploy all night. But of course those are not federal.

There is, obviously, the FBI. Those agents are mostly not up at night though. Now, CBP and TSA staff air and sea ports pretty late but that’s different.

The diplomatic corps also works pretty late hours if I remember my leaked cables correctly. But again, an exception. And they get to go to fancy parties.

Obviously people in Congressional staff offices, political advisers in the executive branch, and so forth. But those folk are essentially politicians.

FEMA. Pretty sure some of them stay up.

Other than our armed forces and supporting staff (good morning NSA NSOC), police and fire departments, federal law enforcement, State Department diplomatic staff, staff for elected officials, and FEMA, no one I can think of right now in government stays up late.

Intelligence community, forgot them, other than NSA and FBI. At least some of the 14 other members probably work late, I think? NGA, at least.

But no you’re right, why would we want government scientists like those at NASA, CDC and the EPA working as leading exemplars of COVID research. Surely they are lazy. And they show good work does not happen without a profit motive.
I would agree that since there's no agreement of morals or ethics, it's easy to justify or vilify any action. So discussing the morality of employment is fruitless.

Equally Labour entropy suggests that jobs will flow from high-cost locations to low cost locations. Remote work reduces the friction of this flow. If you can work from home in SV you can do the same job from home in ohio, or Latvia or India.

External forces are at work to increase or decrease the friction of this entropy, but for the most part it seems to be flowing in one direction.

Whether this is moral or nor seems to be in the eye of the beholder.

"I am writing this to let you all know that everyone's experience during this pandemic is not the same. I do not have all this extra time that folks keep talking about."

Thank you for writing this. At times, not intentionally, we surround ourselves and follow people on social media who have very similar lives to us that we don't hear different views.

It is a good reminder to listen and empathize (always, but more so now) because not everyone has lot of time now that they are working from home. Not everyone can be as productive as before at work, let alone say, read books or build a side project.

Psychological experiments typically seem to feature really small sample sizes (often composing readily available students) and yet have what seems like a lot of unearned significance attached to their results, compared to what claims about drugs have to undergo before they are taken seriously.

Merge sorts are typically used when sorting data on magnetic tapes. Polyphase merge was popular. All merge sorts are O(N log(N)). They were ideal for tapes as they read and write data sequentially.
I have no idea what you're trying to prove. In any case: anti-white racism isn't the same as standard-issue anti-black racism.

Racism is more than some people not liking your particular skin color on Twitter. Being black means every police encounter is potentially lethal––see today's news, or that jogger two weeks ago for recent examples. People call the cops when you're birding in Central Park, and unless you're lucky and have a recording, they aren't going to believe you.

If, perchance, some virus starts going around, you'll find the hospitals in predominantly black neighbourhoods have less staff and equipment, and the 30% black people in your city make up 60% of the dead (Chicago, Detroit).

In other words: it's systematic, and about power. That stuff on Twitter is stupid, but it isn't equivalent.

Also the article mentions that even though they had they option to reduce it, they actively chose not to. How is this not something that I shod be critical of?

Why is growth above everything else important? What if they disabled the group discovery part? How is that impossible?

> Brains win again over brawn: a well-designed, mathematically knowledgeable algorithm beats brute force!

But it didn't, though, did it. Brute force got an answer before brains found the smarter way.

It's great that the well-designed, math knowledgeable algorithm beats brute force, but it takes time to design something well, and to gain the knowledge, if it even exists, which is not a guaranteed prior. In the meantime, your quickly written brute force approach can be making progress.

IMO always try brute force first if there isn't a fairly obvious alternative. Surprisingly often, brute force is enough.
Or you get enough vehicles running 24/7 that you can get the customers to come get the package: "Free delivery if you can come pick your package from the van between 545am and 555am on the 24th" and then you can notify the customer as the van arrives. You make the van into a mobile Amazon Locker Hub or whatever those are called (we have one in my apartment complex). You can even schedule a half dozen deliveries at once for houses close together with a larger window: "Your Amazon Delivery Hub Van will be located 100 yards from your home to the west, at 123 Main St. from 5PM until 6PM tomorrow, please enter 123456 to get your package."
but we are all in agreement for years now that Google's customer base is advertisers, they can scale their support for their user base but it is unlikely to have any relation to their revenue.

A quick feedback: There are so many newletters these days that lot of people need a strong reason to give their email ID. Substack has a good feature where people can read previous issues before subscribing.

That being said, good luck with this project. I will come back and subscribe once I get a feel for the content I can expect.

It's interesting to see how many sites are setting analytics related ids and optimization/split testing cookies.

I wasn't expecting that, since the dataset is purely the immediate response of the request to the root domain/homepage, and doesn't include any additional asset calls that would have occurred once the page rendered.

Which indicates all of that analytics and testing infrastructure is integrated right smack-dab in the middle of the hot path of the server response.

As an analytics guy, it'd be fascinating to get a peak behind the curtain at those architectures. Even more so if any of those implementations have gone through a CCPA/GDPR compliance review.
A principle of increasing retention is to change how much is relevant and interesting to you. Based on the notes he publishes, Bill Gates seems to bring a lot of prior experience and context to his reading.

You can test this theory by reading three similar books in a row on an unfamiliar subject. You’ll remember more of the third book than the first.

Figma’s Story, Part 1: My Thiel Fellowship Application
The goal should be to render HTML documents not control where they come from. The server/client model or the master/slave model is only interesting if the clients are mediocre computers with limited bandwidth.

Think of it like managing a bunch of children. It's a great formula until they are old and mature enough. If you continue to control them as if children they effectively become your slaves.

I have tons of bandwidth and disk space. This is all that is required. If you unreasonably insist I should also be the one to serve every request it's game over for me. Not by technical limitation but by force.
