Youtube has had a scam video ad up for 3 days now advertising fallguys for mobile where it's just a page that forces you to install other apps. It was blatant and I reported it but YouTube can't be bothered to dispatch a human to look at it.

I've seen more promoted Livestream scams in the last 6 months promising crypto giveaways than ever. They're equally blatant and impersonating tesla, spaceX and even Steve Wozniak.

If Google can't be bothered to properly pay humans to moderate this they shouldn't be entitled to the billions in profit that comes from it.

You are arguing against new nuclear plants.

For an existing plant, what are the marginal costs and benefits of keeping it running?

Your child comment: > Electricity generated from nuclear is about four times more expensive than solar and wind.

Again, you are badly mixing arguments about sunk costs versus marginal costs.
What happens if you have a dispute with your registrar?
DMCA notices must include:

> (ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site. [1]

Now a timestamp isn’t required in a DMCA notice, but a description of the copyrighted work being infringed upon (i.e. a description of what has been stolen, not just a link to the supposed stolen article) is required to make it a valid notice.

In the video, the creator shows an email and YouTube page where Google claims that they haven’t been given a description of the copyrighted work being infringed upon.

If that’s true, then the DMCA notice given to YouTube is invalid, and once again YouTube demonstrates how little it cares about creators.

It’s admittedly been a while since I’ve looked at it, but I recall that the creation of H2 using existing processes takes quite a bit more energy than you ultimately extract back from it. For example, electrolysis of H2O to H2 is a pretty lossy process (I think around 60-70% of the input power is used to break the H2O bond and the other 30-40% is released as heat).
It was hyped as a $35k car, but Tesla never said they would release the $35k version first. In addition, Tesla had released the most expensive versions of the S/X first. Doing the opposite with the 3 would have been the exception.

This is probably the best part about ubiquitous smartphones. Making a video is almost always possible.

I really think this tool is pretty powerful, but to sniff out botted topics for an active disinformation campaign, won't bots be mostly unverified?

I've used a tool before to view full twitter before for SM analysis, and I bet it cost like $xxxx for the subscription per month or year or whatever the contract was.

This is free. So I appreciate the bang/buck a little extra.

I would like to add that I tried / wanted to use this to track the bot campaign for the fires in Estacada. I feel like I was watching misinformation live on twitter for 'Estacada' and people advocating for the 'antifa starting fires' being led on by some initial spread of F.U.D..

You certainly aren't showing compassion to renters when your first response is to criticize a move that you admit allows people to prioritize buying food and healthcare over rent. Where are in the middle of an emergency. When in an emergency you respond with triage. The first step is to identify the most urgent and time sensitive issues and address them before moving on. Stopping evictions is the first step. We shouldn't make perfect the enemy of the good.

I'm not saying bullying doesn't exist, or that it shouldn't be responded to appropriately. But I think people miss that there is a TON of speech that is not malicious on nature but gets treated as such. That's not bullying, and if you respond to it with defiance, you're escalating situations, not building trust with people different from you.
Well duh, the state absorbed the risk. I’d borrow at 3% to yield 10% too.

We’ve already seen this story. They make “compliance cars” that are sold (typically with a subsidy) and are impossible to get outside the target market. Now maybe California won’t actually allow IC vehicles in any shape or form and that will finally force hands. But I suspect that whatever is actually done will be watered down and have enough loopholes that it won’t.
That sounds like a problem that is ordinarily dealt with by having human beings, who don't operate on a script, on the other end of the line. You can't automate everything, google.

I acknowledge that many conspiracy theories are silly and harmful.

Are you able to acknowledge, or consider the possibility, that:

- there are some instances of legitimate questions that are dismissed as "bullshit"?

- sometimes people are extremely certain of the truth of something that is not actually true?

- some things are not known?

- some things that are not known, are falsely reported as being known?

- the world is much more complicated than it seems, or is described by the media?

A disinterested alien from another planet with no foreknowledge of prior events might read your words and form the conclusion that the flaws in this scenario are 100% on the side of those who question the status quo. Do you believe the status quo description of reality is 100% perfect, not one single flaw anywhere within the narrative? The point of these questions is to see if you believe skeptical people have any legitimacy whatsoever, because I am not picking up on that from your words.

Yes, the last sentence in my comment was unnecessarily provocative and I should have left it out because it distracts from my larger point, about which I think we agree. Humans are not good at discerning truth on their own, and we need social institutions that help us collaborate to find it, rather than turn the endeavor into a spectacle.

Well you can't reasonably opt-in or opt-out of a government, and you can't do much to change it if your saying you want a change lands you in jail for criminal speech. You can't freely associate to spread your message or convince others. If on the other hand, the government protects your speech from its own intervention, and you have a popular view that is unwelcome on some website like twitter, you're still able to freely associate with other sympathetic people, build an audience, and discuss your views elsewhere. The consequence in one scenario is jail and in the other is having to use or build Gab.

Fair point, you’re entirely right in that in other countries wearing a helmet can be much more important and indeed much more of that burden is placed on the individual.

I looked into head injury statistics, but it seems like this isn’t publicly available. Multiple sources (cyclist safety advocate groups!) claim these to be low numbers though.

The problem with wearing a helmet is not that is inconvenient to wear it though. It is a storage problem at your destination. Dutch high schools often only offer small locker spaces, I doubt full size biking helmets would fit. Considering >90% of middle and high schoolers are coming to school by bicycle, that would involve carrying around a helmet all day. Ofcourse it’s not an unfixable problem for schools, but this goes for every little trip: going to a bar? Leave your helmet at your table I guess? Going to the bookstore downtown? Walk around the store awkwardly with your helmet in your hands I guess? The friction for these trips would be a lot higher with a helmet, and these are the type of trips people tend to use their bicycles for. I live about 2km from the city center of a 150 000k city. Parking is 3 euros an hour, and it takes pretty much the exact same time to get to the city center by bike as by car. I’ll take the bike any day for all trips that don’t involve my carrying a bunch of stuff back, and this is a common sentiment. We’ve got free supervised underground bicycle parking lots. It’s a no-brainer :)

If you do end up moving I’d love to hear about your experience a few months in. Maybe we’re all indoctrinated into believing cycling here is super safe when it actually isn’t, but so far my experiences cycling in other countries have been terrifying (I really wish I had a helmet using the bike-sharing system in Belfast). An outsider perspective would be very interesting.

> As long as CloudFlare is fine with just taking money and serving content, no matter whose it is, they have the legal immunity as intended. As soon as they decide (on a whim) to deny service based on content, as they did a while back, that legal immunity vanishes. It would be catastrophic to their business to make that decision (especially considering everything else CloudFlare hosts), and that's the point.

Except that they already do moderate based on content (malware, CP, etc) and don't have this immunity. The only reason they haven't been sued is because no lawyer or legal team is going to take on 8chan or random malware websites, and state-level DOJs don't have bad actors knocking on their door with the public's support behind them.

Well, it is a slippery slope to be sure, and in an ideal world SEO would not be a thing, however with search, and Google Search being the primary source of web traffic for almost every website it is a reality.

Let’s say you have an e-commerce website that specializes in selling product category X. Because you specialize you can offer a competitive price and perhaps better customer service in some ways. The problem is when you search Google for “Product Category X” all that comes up for that product is Amazon and other big retailers.

Why is this? Well there are many factors some known and other inferred. And the biggest ones you can’t control. However there are on page optimizations that you might not be aware of that Google has determined is a measure of page quality. If you are unaware of them you are giving your competitor more page visits and you less. Some of them are just measures of a good web page, but what if you decided to have product pages that was mostly visual and because of that you had less than 500 words on some product pages and Google’s algorithm penalized you for that? Your page might look great and really help the consumer with lots of product photos, but you have to make sure Google thinks your website looks good too.

When you sell product X and you optimize your website so that Google sees you as being a good source for product X, you are doing it ethically. If you sell product X, but product Y is kind of close so you decide to optimize for people searching for that too that is where you are crossing the line in my book.

If you answered yes to either of those, you're not exactly who I'm talking about, even if you aren't affluent today. You've internalized that there is "enough" in this world for everybody to be happy, including yourself. It's a great mindset to have, and one that I share, but it's not one everybody is fortunate enough to inhabit.
> how well the grid will tolerate millions of cars being plugged in all the time

Glad you asked.

The typical driver drives 12k to 15k miles per year. That's about 33 to 41 miles per day, or about the range of a 1st Gen Chevy Volt.

The thing is, you can recharge a Volt overnight from a normal household outlet (the kind you already have in your living room, kitchen, or garage). In other words, it uses only about as much power (~1.5 kW) as your toaster, coffee maker, hair dryer, or vacuum cleaner. It is dramatically less power than a central AC unit (around 4 to 6 kW).

So, no, this is not going to cause a massive problem for the grid.

> During the summer California struggles to keep the lights on, so I'm wondering whether we will be investing in electrical infrastructure this time.

This is more of a PG&E problem than a California problem. LA and Santa Clara both have municipally-owned electrical utilities (including generation and transmission) that don't have a problem keeping the lights on.

You say making dozens of companies agree is difficult, and yeah - it is - but thats because of other companies throwing out specs trying to compete with Lighttstep.

The problem with your analogy is how you define bookstore. If there were dozens of Youtube "bookstores" in every major city this wouldn't be an issue but functionally speaking every city or town or hamlet has the same 2 or 3 bookstores to choose from and they're all awful at supporting freedom of speech.

Of course they will. People die naturally without smoking cigarettes as well. Smoking however, has a real effect.

This is a matter of frequency, ferocity, and number of locations, that's why it's "instability"; the 60 degree change in Colorado over 8hrs for instance.

Or the multiple hurricanes at once phenomena recently almost like they're lined up in a queue. Or that crazy one in New York, or that disastrous one in Houston, rare extreme events are increasing in frequency due to climate disruption.

The statement "hurricanes happen" is about as valid as saying "people die" in order to dismiss the health concerns of cigarettes.

Nobody is claiming they don't. The claim, to use cigarettes, is that statistically speaking, a significant amount die when they usually wouldn't. Early deaths dramatically increase in frequency. Also pointing to the climate equivalent of the 100 year old smoker doesn't discredit things either. This is a statistical argument, not an absolute one.

If a better sports team has an upset defeat, they're still the better team because of their statistical performance.

The claim here isn't that these things didn't exist but that they're more numerous, more dramatic, and occur more often, globally, in every country. The numbers clearly back that story.
0:30 he says "without any evidence at all". A DMCA notice should have "identifying infringing material clearly and specifically". Even though it sounds like a real DMCA notice, it still sounds like YT isn't facilitating it correctly. At 3:55 he mentions not being able to get this information. Seconds later he mentions YT doesn't mediate disputes. So what's going on here? Through their strike system and communicating to both parties, are they not mediating this? It looks more like a DMCA against YT, in which they immediately roll over, allow the company to file false DMCAs with no repercussion, and tell the content creator "kick rocks"
How embarrassing, yes, it is one of those acronyms that I no longer consider the meaning of anymore.
I took my Dad out of coffee in my home town and met a guy who looked at least a decade older than me who said he remembered me from high school. Then he said I probably wouldn't remember him because I was older and in grade 12 when he was in grade 9. My Dad said after ward, "I didn't know if he was saying he went to high school with you or me"

Some people live hard.
> Sweden looks great.

They have higher death rates than their neighboring countries. While the economic outcome doesn't appear to be better than the surrounding countries.

> South Dakota looks great.

https://covidtracking.com/data/state/south-dakota

Look at the hospitalizations. No, they're not doing good. They actually have one of the highest infection rates. And as you can see the deaths are increasing too.

> We've been locked down for half a year. Maybe you don't live in California but it's still full draconian lockdown here, and our state guidelines are crafted such that it is literally impossible for us to re-open.

I do live in CA. The last time the state started to reopen, with looser guidelines, the infection rates grew substantially. Deaths/day stayed pretty high for a long time, and is only slowly shrinking.

Also, how does that apply to my comment upthread?
The response to "what about volatility" is not really right. Volatility makes a much bigger difference than the article admits - the reason FIRE proponents come up with a similar number is because they started with a much higher number. They are using US-only historical returns, which average around 7% (inflation-adjusted), not 5%, and the safe withdrawal rate is typically quoted as 3.5%-4%. So in order to be safe, you have to cut the return rate in half or so.

There's probably an argument to be made that this is still too aggressive, because US historical returns feels like cherrypicking - they're much better than international returns, and there doesn't seem to be a good argument for expecting that to continue.

That said - how many 80% drops are there? If your criteria for safety is "will have enough money to last forever even if the great depression hits the second I retire", you might be a bit too conservative - it's hard to imagine another great depression at all, given the Fed's recent history of propping up the market in crashes, let alone at the worst possible time. You'll never be able to take chances on anything with requirements like that.

I often hear the “host your own content” but I don’t feel like there is an equally vocal “make it discoverable, too” crowd. That is until I discovered the indieweb.
