I don't think it's just reddit, I believe these systems are prone to triggering some primitive human instincts towards group interaction. I can think of a few plausible explanations for a discrepancy in outcomes across HN and reddit. Perhaps hidden scores or the per-comment floor HN uses suppresses it. Perhaps HN attracts a particular sort of personality while reddit attracts a more representative slice of humanity. Maybe reddit is harder to moderate, has worse moderator tools, worse mods, or just too many people. I'm not sure what the answer is, but one way or the other I consider these sort of systems to be failed experiments.

> Researchers from Hebrew University, NYU, and MIT explored herd mentality in online spaces, specifically in the context of "digitized, aggregated opinions".[4] Online comments were given an initial positive or negative vote (up or down) on an undisclosed website over five months.[5] The control group comments were left alone. The researchers found that "the first person reading the comment was 32 percent more likely to give it an up vote if it had been already given a fake positive score".[5] Over the five months, comments artificially rated positively showed a 25% higher average score than the control group, with the initial negative vote ending up with no statistical significance in comparison to the control group.[4] The researchers found that "prior ratings created significant bias in individual rating behavior, and positive and negative social influences created asymmetric herding effects".[4]

> “That is a significant change”, Dr. Aral, one of the researchers involved in the experiment, stated. “We saw how these very small signals of social influence snowballed into behaviors like herding.”[5]

Actually, it turns out that you can save a couple hundred frames at the beginning if you enter the video holding down A.
The easiest explanation is that the company hasn't been sued yet. Once a company gets sued and has to settle out of court, suddenly everyone will care about a11y.

Except the most employable technology keeps changing every few years.

TypeScript and Go and Rust are the hot ones now and they were barely on the radar a year ago.

Ofc I am inserting them into work projects as I need to learn them.
The mind is difficult beast to tame and Simplicity is hardest thing to achieve.

Try to sit in meditation and focusing on breathing, first 10-15 minutes monkey mind does not even calm down and can't sit more than 30 minutes. Back starts hurting. Sitting on chair for so long and back muscles have become weak.

However, there are so many unprocessed emotions which keeps popping up when I try to sit down idle or try to 'not think', ranging from things read on social network (twitter) upto childhood emotion. Total Emotion roller coaster. Plus, awareness about shallow habit of mind of continuously judging and having opinion on everything. Worst is realisation that I don't event have control or influence on what is going around.

Blessed are people who have achieved control over thinking. The momentary calmness and freedom, I feel is simply liberating. But it does not last long. How can you live in this world and not be affected but it. It's tough battle with 'self' for now for getting into bad habits just because of not being self aware.

For guidance, that quote - "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away". Getting rid of bad habit one by one is starting point.

Sigh.. may be someday, will become truly free.
I thought MongoDB and NodeJS are the boring technology today...

Edit: Oh, it needs a (2015)
The F-word’s hidden superpower: repeating it can increase your pain threshold
I’ve found boring in this context to be a function of 3 things (in no particular order):
- Your experience using the tool in question to solve this problem or very similar ones
- Your teammates’ experience using the tool in question to solve this problem or very similar ones
- The world’s experience using the tool in question to solve this problem or very similar ones

The specific drivers of this tend to be a mix of problem-solving pattern matching ie “Hey, we know what the usual suspects are know when things are slow/crash”, and ecosystem robustness — what is the probability of you being the first to trip a bug in a dependency / has a library been used to solve 10000 problems or just 3 — It’s more likely that APIs have been sorted out, bugs have been closed, etc. or that your team knows the quirks.

As an example, OCaml might be a relatively boring choice for writing a theorem prover, but for something like a RDBMS-backed web application, things are a lot more “interesting” as you go off the map much sooner.
Human health would be the first thing on my mind, but there are many other things it could have an effect on - everything from the neighborhood pigeons to trees.

And yes, I am sure that 5G is designed by some brilliant people. Anyone getting that close to the Shannon limit is smarter than me. My hat is off to them.

But the reality is that this stuff just hasn't been trialed in any real way. Sure, the US government found 600 adults to get zapped for a few hours and only injured eight of them. But how about living with it for ten years? What about different frequencies? 100 nm is a world away from 300nm which is a world away from 500nm. Sure, they trialed 95 GHz and it was fine. What about 48 GHz? 25 GHz? All the other frequencies being used? What about with 256 antennae transmitting at higher power than anything before, right next to you, day in and day out for a decade?

One big claim is that all this 5G radiation is blocked by the skin, so we'll all be fine! Oh wait, what about babies? Turns out babies' skin is thin enough that mm waves can penetrate the dermis...

Furthermore, ionizing radiation and heating are not the only two ways EM can harm you. Just look at all the news about blue light for one example! EM radiation in the mm-wave range is still far understudied compared to the cm wave range.

Look, I think that 5G is probably going to be fine, health wise. But for something as big as this, it absolutely deserves at least one good longitudinal study. Of which there have been zero.
> Oh come on, at this point you have to be living under a rock to think that "Black lives matter" means other lives don't matter.

There have been multiple people killed as a result of the riots, including two police officers, but nobody on the news is talking about those deaths. Instead, people are talking about how those riots are justified. Every single store on the block in DC where my wife has an office had its windows smashed in. But the mayor of DC is focused in painting a giant “black lives matter” sign on the street. How are people supposed to take all that, other than as an assertion that “other lives don’t matter?”

One of the great virtues of Americans is that they don’t condone social upheaval. It’s not like the country where I’m from, where they have strikes and violent rioting after every election. You need some really grave to justify rioting in America. I think there is a strong argument that the oppression of black people in America is that grave. But it’s really asking a lot for people to appreciate why based entirely on some clips they see in the news, and assertions from talking heads in the news that they don’t otherwise trust.

I’ve got two cops who live within a couple of blocks. One just had a baby boy. Our closest neighbor friend is a former cop. Wonderful guy, knows everything about being a dad. The last time I live in a predominantly white largely suburban/exurban county. The last time I personally got pulled over by a cop, the officer was almost apologetic, explaining that he was pulling people over because some folks in the neighborhood had complained about people speeding through on the way to the freeway interchange. We have a few officer involved deaths every year, and it’s usually a mentally ill old white guy. But I’ve lived in Chicago, New York, Philly, Baltimore, DC, and Atlanta. Over the years, being constantly faced with the economic disparity between blacks and whites was crushing. It’s so bad and so wrong and we are so woefully far from fixing it. There is a pit in my gut that counteracts my natural instinct to condemn what I’d otherwise perceive as a grave attack on the social fabric. But would I feel this way if I didn’t see the injustice first hand? What if I had only lived somewhere where all the homeless people are white? Could I really even begin to understand just by being told or reading about it?
> I want to create content on web development and earn passive income.

I don't know that spending a ton of time researching topics, planning, recording, and editing your videos counts as "passive" income.

> Is the Youtube space convoluted or is there enough areas where one can create contents?

Yes.

That said, if you wanna do it, do it.
> a human trafficking crime or if they really were cops

It can also be both [1]. Sex while being detained by the police is not illegal in 35 states and this was really only brought to light after two plainclothes NYPD detectives took an 18 year old woman in an unmarked van and took turns having sex while the other drove. She claims it was rape and that she was handcuffed the entire time.

> to defend them against their own blanket misconduct.

Do they expect defense from blanket misconduct, or from accusations of misconduct while performing their professional duties? There are plenty of rotten cops, and significant institutional rot in police depts, but it's seems unworkable to suggest that they should be on the hook for legal fees to defend against complaints filed in the line of duty.

Any system that takes seriously legal complaints against police will inevitably have false positives, which means that even a hypothetically-perfect cop who never does anything wrong risks being exposed to legal fees.

> Soldiers for example manage without it.

I'm not sure this is a great example; the limiting of rights that soldiers are subject to is pretty despicable IMO; there are plenty of phenomena we'd consider horrific in civil society that have been the norm for thousands of years of military history (hell, the rape problem in the military was treated with as much apathy as the rape problem in _prison_, of course until women started being victims in non-trivial numbers).
I'm trying to understand where the riot was? They pan to the left and there's like 30 people max in the park across the street. This seems totally unjustified given the circumstances. Somehow they managed to easily apprehend the second man in the video without shoving him to the ground. Just disgusting either way.
I just started making videos for teaching kids to program on YouTube. It takes a lot of effort and it is not a sure thing.

I am not saying don’t try, but you have to be willing to make at least a 100 solid videos before you get in the swing of things based on my research.

I agree. There's already so much content and trash on Youtube that it will be a huge investment to make it worthwhile, assuming you are lucky. Creating structured, high-quality course content in a field not covered well by existing courses on sites like teachable and udemy will still be hard work, but with a higher chance of success.

Maybe, assuming that the lawsuits didn't get dismissed. Small companies don't have that much legal clout, and large companies are even more subject to the whims of the mob (through PR) as the justice system.
As relevant as ever. It's fascinating how big web stacks are these days, even for small-to-medium sites: various combinations of at least one styling language (SASS/LESS/CSS), frontend framework (Angular/React), frontend language (JavaScript/TypeScript/Node.js), backend framework (Django/Express/Spring/Rails) backend language (Python/Ruby/PHP/Perl/Java), and message bus (ZeroMQ/Redis/RabbitMQ). That's just the frontend and backend. Then there's infrastructure: pick at least three infrastructure as code components (Puppet/Chef/Ansible/k8s/Docker/Docker Compose/VirtualBox/WMWare/heaps of shell scripts), at least two web servers (Apache/nginx/traefik/your language's built-in server), and at least two TLS certificate providers because someone's nervous about moving everything to Let's Encrypt. I'm well aware that these don't have identical feature sets, but that's the point of the article: choosing a small and boring set of technologies is an advantage, not something to be ashamed of.
If you want something faster and more energy-efficient for any particular task, you do want an ASIC. You can try to tell physics that you'd prefer something else but physics is not a good listener.

I didn't want to claim that Telegram's crypto was better or as good as Signal's. But saying that Telegram rolled their own crypto while Signal did not is misleading as both designed their own protocols.

Also, Telegram uses SHA256 now in the places relevant for security, so that point was resolved.

I guess that depends on your specialization. If you build backend services with Java or C++ the job market is pretty big. Probably bigger than if you're a Go expert but don't know Java or C++.
For a while I wrote a bot that would scrape ebay for textbooks and send me an email when it found a textbook that I could buy and resell to a third party (chegg, amazon, whoever) and make more than $10. At one point I was buying like 5 textbooks a day, many of them I sold for $20-$30 more than I purchased them for. And I had it all automated to the point where if the all the parameters were met the code would actually buy the item for me (although most of the books were just emailed to me for me to review). I stopped doing it because it got pretty stressful for me, and became a bit of a distraction from my regular job. I was going to try to bring in my 16 year old brother to manage it, but he didn't have the hustle in him...
Probably not relevant, but the jury was mostly white, not all white. It included a biracial man, a Latino, and an Asian.

I half agree.

USB-C should have had clear marking standards for TWO cables (at introduction).

CHEEP, Dirt cheep, USB 2.0 baseline, minimal PD (compat with the best USB 2.0 ports) plain cable.

Full Feature, USB-C premium (with a single color band and trademarked logo in color signifying a 'tested run' of product).

Newer versions should have then embellished on that logo.

How to Design, Build and Test Small Liquid-Fuel Rocket Engines (1967)
If you making content for a new or under served niche - maybe - but probably not. There are some good quality channels with 100s of videos after years of work that still only pull in <5000 views per video - I'd be surprised if these channel were earning more than $100 a month, which considering the 1000s of hours that's gone into them, is not economical. A lot of them do it for the love of it - if this is you, go for it.

I considered this too - after doing some research on my own, talking to some other people I know who do YT and chatting to my SO (digital marketing manager) I learned YT advertising alone does NOT generate very much until you are consistently pulling a lot of views regularly (couple videos at a week at 10000+ views each. This can takes years, if ever, especially in the space you are describing - technical content). Profitability on YT is much less about quality and more about quantity and above all consistency, which is very difficult if you are looking to produce high quality content - this takes time.

YT is an exposure platform. It is a good tool for this - you can make your own content and monetize it separately, and use YT as a means to advertise and get exposure. See [0], start-react-native on IH. The founder, William Candellon, also was on the IH podcast, where he described his journey. Basically YT -> generating a following -> release paid content on his own platform and funnel in leads from his YT following.

You could do something like Gary Bernhardt does with his "Destroy all Software" series. A new 10m-15m video a week, and charge for access - either a one-off or a subscription service. I do something similar to generate leads for the course I am working on. [1]

Yes, it’s too late in the sense that your videos and channel won’t passively benefit from YouTube’s growth, because its growth is slowing and that slowed growth is shared by so many other channels.

There is still opportunity, but you’ll have to work hard to capitalize on it. You may never see more than a few dollars after making dozens of videos unless your work is standout.
Firefox is the slowest mobile browser I ever seen.
How about sales taxes in the US. Do you keep records to when you hit tax nexus and start collecting it then? Manually or using some service? I'd be interested in learning how you approached this problem.
Bodega Bay Hard Seltzer – Serves healthy Hedonists low cal alcoholic drinks
The US FCC gave half of C-band to mobile telcos and told the incumbent satellite users to switch to HEVC to make up the difference.

https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-expands-flexible-use-c-band... "Makes 280 Megahertz of the 3.7-4.2 GHz Band Available for 5G Services While Relocating Existing Satellite Operations to the Upper Part of the Band"

The millimeter wave stuff is in addition to this for downtown cores, stadiums, etc. 5G modulation itself adds max 15-20% throughput compared to 4G LTE so more spectrum is needed to deliver on the weird promises telcos made.
A while back I got diagnosed with carpal and cubital tunnel. After many, many hours of research, I eventually bought a Quefrency from Keebio (https://keeb.io/pages/assembly-service has the premade ones) to see if it would help. I can now confidently say, if you are worried about getting CT, or you have it and want something easier on your hands, you _need_ to check this out. Seriously, for most people on here an injury like CT can make you lose your job. The split form factor really helps alleviate the pain. Not bending your wrists or elbows helps way more than you can imagine. Even now my hands will still hurt if I use a regular keyboard but I can type on my split board all day long. The Quefrency also has the advantage of not being a different form factor (like the Dactyl), it's just a standard 60% split staggered layout (the smaller form factor helps reduce finger travel as well, but imo it's mostly the split). Plus, it just runs off a pro micro so you can flash your own firmware very easily (it runs on QMK which is open source)

I've also heard good things about the levinson and nyquist but I haven't personally tested them. I have also used an Iris for a while and like it a lot, but it looks like they're backordered for now. The viterbi looks a little big imho, but if you want a big split board it would definitely be a good option.

I actually am somewhat in the keyboard business right now (I got inspired by how well it worked, and it's really fun!), if anyone has any questions or needs some recommendations feel free to AMA.

BTW, if you end up going with a different form factor, be ready to type at 10-20WPM for at least a week or two. When I got my first ortho board, I typed at 13WPM and gained back roughly 5-10WPM a week. You can't use a standard layout while you learn, either, or you lose a ton of the muscle memory.
Even basic things like auto-suggestions in the URL bar can't be turned off any more. A while ago there used to be an option for it but it was removed. So when you enter an URL it's automatically sent to Google as you type.
