I personally don't care about youtube or other video communities. To me, youtube itself is good enough. It's been serving its purpose since the first day I visited it. I'd care less if they are monopoly or not.
A response from one companies CEO which Stephen called out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHo_EUyShOg
Was just thinking of this yesterday as I listened to ATP (Accidental Tech Podcast - ATP.FM).

They're adding a members component to their podcast. Just $8/month. And they don't do the hard sell, but there are little perks.

I listen to at least 5-7 podcasts regularly. If they all do the same thing, it's close to my cable + Internet bill from just 10 years ago.

Now let's do streaming: Netflix + Disney+ and you spent another $20/month.

I just don't think this model is going to work in the long term. Who knows!
It adds up if you like fifty different things.
If you are talking about videos that teach something, for most of youtubers out there that churn out quality content, they will have a library of videos that they will upload to an alternate site. Things will be back up in no time.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. What's the worst that could happen in YT is dead now, people go back to not wasting time on YT Binges.

Inspired by that, I tried to use Z3 to solve the "best arrangement of letters on a linear typewriter" problem but never got a good answer because the solution space is far too large (26! which is seven hundred ninety-eight trillion, seven hundred twenty billion, nine hundred fifty-two million, one hundred seventy-six thousand, seven hundred and forty-five years at 16000 iterations a second.)
FWIW I'm from the UK and was taught this notation in high school history classes (though the C encircled the 19 when hand-written).

That said I had trouble parsing the "C19" too so I don't think I've seen it used in print much. I tried to read it as a UK postcode zone first :) (I used to live in SW19)

They had a scummy sales technique as I remember it. When you owned a business line you were automatically entitled to a single line entry in your business' category but they'd phone you up and try and sell you a display ad as though that was the only option. Then you'd point out to them that you had an entry anyway and they'd denigrate those as ones no one would ever see. It was yuck getting a call from them.

While market cap may not be the actual realisable value of the company, that doesn't mean it's irrelevant. It's perfectly relevant when comparing the relative value of different companies, especially when they are in similar sectors. That's especially true when companies have very different numbers of issued shares.

Even then, market cap does actually correlate directly to realisable value in acquisitions. They rarely trade for exactly the market cap, but it's definitely a useful benchmark against which to compare the company's relative value to the acquirer and it's current owners.
I agree with this - max speed around 120mph looks like the sweet spot in terms of ROI. I see HSTs as more of a vanity project these days - lots of them run under capacity and are even worse on paying back the money invested into them than standard rail. I love HSTs, and have been on Eurostar, Thales, ICE, AVE. But in many circumstances - and obviously it's down to the particular geographical situation, and many other factors - HSTs are not the optimal solution.
That's what I would do, but no one seems to value that when you are jobseeking. It's all about having numerous shiny technologies on your CV.
>Which was my point. Their power doesn’t come from their money but the fact that their products are found useful by all those who would riot.

That translates to money pooured though. Without huge VC investments there wouldn't be any Netflix or Amazon. And their huge followers mean more money, more resilience to Apple's demands (they don't depend on it 100%) etc. Whereas for a smaller developer house not of these are true.
Hell, I've been asking this for years for my development machine, especially running a bunch of heavy apps (like slack) through the browser.
==== Advantages of Serverless:

- Stability: You're only deploying parts of the backend at a time, which reduces chances of breaking the entire application.

- Scaling: You can have parts of your backend scale with use, rather than scaling the entire monolithic backend.

- Cost: Serverless is surprisingly cheap these days, compared to hosting a full PHP/Python server.

==== Disadvantages of Serverless:

- Complexity: Serverless a.k.a "micro services", are basically tiny servers. This adds a bit of complexity, with authentication, latency etc. As it's not a single monolithic server anymore.

Many other drawbacks are inherently related to the added complexity.

In my experience it's worth trying, but if you're a one-man team then; a monolithic server is much easier/faster to deploy, test, and iterate on.
I wish someone would do that with the Maplins (UK electronics store) catalogue. I had a hankering to browse through one from the 80s in a fit of nostalgia the other day but the best I could find was an ebay listing for one for £50!
And even better, there are terminals where you can browse the catalogue and choose an item, basically the same workflow as making a reservation online. But those terminals don't take payments. So you enter a code word, then walk over to one of the payment terminals, enter the code word again, and pay!

It's kind of horrific UX, but i can see how it would have been quick and cheap to ship, and it works!
UK. Wikipedia doesn't have an explicit explanation/history of it that I can find, but it does feature on disambiguation pages, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C17
When I was growing up they had these little devices by the catalogues in the shop as well. You could go in, flip through the catalogue and find something, then type in the code the this device and see how many were left in stock. My brother and I would each try to find an item with the highest amount of stock.

The idea of walking into a shop, seeing everything they had while standing in one place, and then finding out how much stock they had was magical as a child in the late 90's/early 2000's. It also meant you wouldn't queue up to pay unless you knew the item was in stock which saved a lot of time. Sometimes the queues got pretty huge on a Saturday just because of the sheer range of items.

I was in Lissabon Last year at the SAT conference and that was my main takeway, though my field of research is only adjacent.

One paper was about creating random sat instances where the probability of unsat ist 50/50 and as it turned out: none of those instances was hard.

You can always craft hard instances to defeat a specific heuristic. But crafting one that is hard for all of them is the problem.

>GPT-3 demonstrates that a huge volume of what's written is mostly bullshit.

Beware how you talk about my ancestor.

Joke aside, this kind of technology will, I think, first cause an inflation of bullshit (our world rewarding bullshit(-jobs)), and then the rise of anti-bullshit counter-measures, whatever that means (I don't see exactly what we have now that could count as such, besides "critical thinking". Maybe we could do as with AlphaZero, and make a GPT-ZERO try to bullshit itself and develop bullshit-resistance that way).

In case of some failure - like not achieving your goal, losing somebody close, miscommunication with other people etc. - do you also stay happy? And what about anger? Or boredom?

Do you keep smile on your face when fighting with package compatibility of packages that you did not mean to upgrade but needed to because you wanted to change some small thing real quick? Legit questions.

From evolutionary standpoint I guess we should see biases on both sides, but back when living in the wild I would assume that more pessimistic worldview would be associated with higher survival rate. Not the case in today's world.

UBI will really take off once automation has completely replaced all the essential grunt work jobs which would make food and shelter abundant. Once that happens then everyone can do whatever they want and not worry about trying to have enough money for groceries or pay rent. We're not there yet but maybe in the next decade or two. My concerns with UBI right now is that it'll incentivize businesses to raise their prices and make people more dependent on government.
> It's not that they're giving paid content away for free, it's that they're extracting copyrighted content and profiting from it (without compensating the copyright holder).

Wouldn't that imply that they simply have to pay to be displayed as it would be advertisement? Ergo they will get removed and not get any advertisement anymore as a result.

I'm not sure if it's very unRISC-y. CISC is all about these sort-of-generic-but-slightly-high-level methods such as SCASB (find a byte in a string), LOOPD (loop while equal) and all the in-memory operations, prefix instructions etc... All that with a lot of redundancy in the ISA. A RISC CPU will "emulate" this instruction with a couple of more primitive instructions, favoring speed and simplicity.

Of course the line is blurry, but to me things like SIMD, floating point or AES are more like "coprocessor" extensions, it's not something that can decently be emulated using a handful of CISC opcodes. Making a quasi-religious point that CISC shouldn't support high-level instructions will doom these CPUs to irrelevance.

A CISC CPU is no less CISC if you put in on a board next to a hardware video decoder module for instance, so why should an on-die AES extension be a game changer?

The original PlayStation's CPU had a coprocessor dealing with 3D transformations (the part of the pipeline that would be handled by a vertex shader these days) so it actually supported opcodes such as "MVMVA: Multiply vector by matrix and add vector". I don't think anybody would consider that unRISC-y.
What iPad app are you using for this? And do you also have an Apple Pencil? I also do some math online tutoring, and what I’ve been doing is connecting my iPhone to my Mac, mirroring the iPhone screen on the Mac, and sharing that screen during a Skype call. Then I can use the camera app on the iPhone (mounted on a little tripod) to look down on a piece of paper that I write/draw on. I considered getting an iPad, but even with an Apple Pencil I imagine I wouldn’t feel as free as when drawing on a real piece of paper with a real pen, I’m curious as to what your thoughts on this are
> pedestrian crossings are the best with that awesome tik -tik -tik WAKAWAKAWAKA noise

These are present in a few European countries; my favourite variant was visiting Stockholm for the Eurovision song contest, where some had been reprogrammed to play beepy but recognisable versions of Sweden's last two winning songs. So you could listen to a ticky version of "Euphoria" while waiting that switched to a fast version of "Heroes" while it was time to cross.

> how will they distribute the revenue

There won't be any revenue. Ever since France implemented their version of the "meme tax", where a tax would be charged when websites would want to use news snippets, what search engines did was simply drop the snippets. Example:

Google doesn't seem to do this. It's unclear to me if they are paying this fee or just don't care.

Only in US. I had a Google Pixel phone that went had a bad microphone. Google issued a compensation for everyone who purchased the phone in US and maybe Europe I think but left out the rest of the world. Pretty shitty behavior I think.

> the attackers targeted 130 Twitter accounts, ultimately Tweeting from 45, accessing the DM inbox of 36, and downloading the Twitter Data of 7

So much effort for so little gain... With proper preparation (i.e. a simple app ready to download everything from an account), they could have made out with the whole data of 130 accounts, silently, before tweeting the hopeless scam message. Instead, this seems like a mostly-manual effort, done in haste.

Just dumb thieves pulling off the scam of their life, or cover for a targeted attack of one or two of those 7 they actually siphoned properly? I hope US authorities will figure stuff out beyond the usual "it was a Chinese/Russian/Eastern European gang", which is just code for "fuck knows".

There is no reason to assume that one cannot be moved by AI-generated music, as the AI has learnt from human-generated music and tries to mimick the styles.
I worked at Best Buy in San Luis Obispo around 2003 and it was clear that if you didn't sell enough warranties, $29 USB cables (wholesale cost about 80 cents), and (bafflingly) subscriptions to Entertainment Weekly you would get your hours cut to effectively 0. I got chewed out and nearly fired by my boss because a customer came in with a broken lens for their camera they'd just bought, and I told them a replacement was about $99 when _instead_ I should have apparently told them a warranty could be bought retroactively for $199 and that would replace the lens (this was a bald-faced lie, it had clearly been dropped).

Of course, consumers should expect that because Best Buy is blatantly evil, but the scummiest thing was that customers would walk in with a printout FROM BESTBUY.COM showing an item was $129, demand we match their own website instead of charging $149, and they'd be walked over to a kiosk showing that the product at bestbuy.com was $149. (They had a mock bestbuy.com running on the kiosk that looked like the web version but with in-store prices). Remember smartphones weren't a thing at that point.

How about politics? Load all the political punditry, polling data, blogs, transcripts of Fox News and CNBC and build the perfect Presidential tweet bot, speech writer and campaign adviser.

I was in mexico and went to the doctor once. He had office hours in a small office at a nearby farmacia. He took the time, listened to me, wrote me a prescription, and charged me the equivalent of 2 USD. The medicine was modestly priced as well.

In the US, doctors seem to have 15-minute windows to diagnose and solve your problem.

My primary care physician seems more relaxed, but I think it might be - #1 that I organize everything before I see her (15 minute anxiety) - #2 she might actually have a 30-minute window. The only advantage I've noticed is that once I suggested an extra blood test done or something and she quickly acceded instead of taking the time to talk about it (I think).

Climate science is pretty old (50s). Sure, back in the day they got the details wrong but it was pretty much set in stone that things aren't going to get better by doing nothing. I don't remember the exact time frame but 20-30 years ago pretty much every politician was openly in favor of climate friendly policies.

Although there was no consensus on what exactly needed to be done to slow down climate change, nobody was questioning whether it was happening at all. Empty promises were still better than the active sabotage we see today. I don't know what changed but it feels like being against climate change policies is a very recent phenomenon and not something that had been the default stance for decades.

My only guess is that climate change denial is happening in response to something. Democrats [0] have basically no problem with the topic. Does it boil down to plain old populism?
