I'm not sure anyone is lying here, so much as being misled by the conventional wisdom that YouTube has no incentive to straighten out. "DMCA" is a well-known buzzword, and the shallow understanding is that copyright infringement claims that get content taken down are all under the DMCA umbrella. The deeper understanding is that most of the big content hosts like YouTube have frontline systems that exist outside the DMCA procedure and its associated legal requirements, but YouTube is happy for the DMCA to take the blame for anything that is handled poorly by their own system. Disputes through that system can be escalated to real DMCA takedown notices.

Discussion about using marijuana in medicinal context would also need to be purged, because it is an illegal Schedule I substance at the federal level.

People that use any drug are free to talk about it because of the first amendment, but the proposed legislation would prevent anyone from being able to share their experiences online, because their service providers might be liable for facilitating illegal activity.

That's a scary precedent.

In their myopic worldview, landlords are this abstract notion of evil capitalists, not real people. Thus seizure of their resources is not just justified, it’d be immoral not to.

Suffice to say I disagree. Call me old-school, but I believe in the rights to life, liberty, and property.
"There's nothing whatsoever we can do about it" makes it sound like a 600ppm world and a 1000ppm world are indistinguishable. Or that carbon sequestration at less than 1000X natural processes is equivalent to none at all. Your own links dispute that.

For those like me who knew nothing about "memristors":

> A memristor (/ˈmɛmrɪstər/; a portmanteau of memory resistor) is a non-linear two-terminal electrical component relating electric charge and magnetic flux linkage.

> Memristors can potentially be fashioned into non-volatile solid-state memory, which could allow greater data density than hard drives with access times similar to DRAM, replacing both components.

> Memristor have applications in programmable logic, signal processing, Super-resolution imaging, physical neural networks, control systems, reconfigurable computing, brain-computer interfaces, and RFID.

> In 2009, a simple electronic circuit consisting of an LC network and a memristor was used to model experiments on adaptive behavior of unicellular organisms.

> It was shown that subjected to a train of periodic pulses, the circuit learns and anticipates the next pulse similar to the behavior of slime molds Physarum polycephalum where the viscosity of channels in the cytoplasm responds to periodic environment changes. Applications of such circuits may include, e.g., pattern recognition.

Music instruction channels on YouTube know that this may technically be true but simply does not matter. Rick Beato's channel has several rants about this, and here's one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqvuEal2P2E

Apparently you can have YouTube videos blocked or demonetized for even mentioning the name of a song from some very famous artists who have very active legal teams.

Really anyone with five braincells. Can someone explain to me why Hackernews and much of the rest of the internet, has descended into this nihilistic relativism where acknowleding even basic, empirical reality has apparently become impossible?

Viral diseases aren't spread through radiowaves. That's not a matter of opinion, that's a fact. Of course a significant portion of people might be so scientifically illiterate they cannot figure that out, that doesn't change the fact that it's not true.

This constant childish "hey but how do you know that this is true buddy" talk around misinformation and information is really driving me nuts.
But that none of that matters, because YouTube will still block or demonetize your videos even when you were clearly covered by fair use.
I think the problem is that of the people removed from YouTube, the vast majority are going to be removed for unsavory or misleading content, so any alternative anti-censorship sites are dominated by those people. You have the same problem with Reddit vs something like Voat.

It would be cool if these sites were able to mirror all of the youtube content as well, so you get all of youtube plus the content that people are posting to the decentralized or anti-censorship platform. Probably illegal but that's kind of the point.
> I've never used CLion but I really want to.

Well, it has the best indexing of C++ I've seen but it's also the slowest IDE I've used (I've stopped using it when it froze showing a blank page for many minutes when I was compiling, since then it has improved, it no longer do this, but it's still very slow).

What's 'funny' is that all C++ IDE suck: CLion is awfully slow, VSCode likes to use >29GB of resident RAM if you let it open too long (no Vim isn't an IDE, it's a text editor which you can use to build an IDE yourself..) its indexing is quite bad most of the time, and also slow (enough that when I double click on something to get to the definition, I usually have the time to find/grep the source and open it myself before it has displayed the target :-()
Former FTC commissioners call for robust federal privacy law under FTC authority
People have been putting moderate energy deuterons into deuterated materials since the 1930s. They typically do it by shooting ions at a target, but it's standard technology for making neutrons in small neutron generators, for example those used in oil well logging.

And it's well known this doesn't promise to produce fusion anywhere even close to breakeven.

If I had to bet, I'd say these researchers missed some confounding effect and are measuring an experimental artifact.
You make good points. There is a wiggle room between column widths. https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/13724/reco...

Somewhere between 80-110 cpl should be adequate to satisfy most deviations in sizes. This "buffer" factor can be accounted for when designing for resizeable interfaces. Column sizes don't have to be absolutely rigid and pixel perfect.

Scaling can be tackled by basing everything on em-units. Scaling using Ctrl + can effectively "zoom" the UI. The relationship between elements should stay the same.

None of this is difficult. We have tools to tackle these problems. Uninformed designers are the problem IMO, but I don't have data for this. My gut feeling is that most designers follow trends, UI frameworks (bootstrap, tailwind), and have stopped building CSS from scratch.

Why are columns hell for accessibility? Given the fluidity of 80-110 cpl, we should be able to account for any size from a phone to large displays. This is a solved problem.

Again, I am not saying there aren't challenges and may be there are better ways to handle all the variables. We should not throw the towel and not think, discuss and debate about it.
> Firstly, at the bottom of the page in either desktop or mobile you can get to the other with a mobile/desktop link. (Discoverability fail maybe?)

For a long page, scrolling to the bottom might take even longer than just changing the URL. Yes, there are keyboard shortcuts to scroll to the bottom, but so there are shortcuts to edit the URL bar. It is, in any case, an annoyance that always(!) takes some extra time.

[Edit: I love that switching to the desktop version is literally the very last word/link of the mobile version. Even after the link to the "Privacy policy" and the "Terms of Use" that probably nobody in the history of homo sapiens ever clicked]

Absolutely not for normal cars, that battle is long lost. Its baffling that some companies still pursue it. Often with government funds of course.

For heavy transportation hydrogen might have a small market for extremely long distance transport. But if you ask me, even that market is practically out of reach already. Companies like Daimler want to have a hydrogen truck 'in the second half of the decade' but by then batteries should clearly outclass it. And that is before you have even solved the infrastructure issue.

I think equally in storage, it makes little sense to use hydrogen outside of some specialized applications. There are other chemical alternatives as well but here I would still bet on the battery for a much, much, much larger part of the grid, both home and grid-scale.

The two industries where hydrogen might be interesting is long distance container ships and flight. There it still has some chance against batteries but for the majority of flight, battery is within clear distance of known technology. There is long range flights, but for those hydrogen competes with other chemical fuels as well.

I don't know enough about the shipping industry. You can do things like using dimethyl ether but you essentially need hydrogen to produce that, so I guess it sort of counts. The same goes for things like methanol.

The predictions of 'Bank of America' seem like total nonsense to me. The battery is riding a cost curve with governments and privates from all over the world putting massive resources into it. Fuel cells have some government that love it, and some companies that believe in it but its not near the same scale of investment.

Lots of nonsense has gone up if it is connected to something clean energy, its the 'next Tesla' hunt.
...prevention of mass homelessness?
That makes sense. I guess the questions would be whether the material science can really allow us to make use of that, and how the end-to-end efficiency weights against the infrastructure/engineering greenfield costs that synthetic fuels avoid. Being able to just keep using all existing engines/storage/distribution knowledge we already have is a major economic advantage. Electric will cover most land based transportation, and we need negative carbon technology anyway, so de novo hydrogen R&D has less to spread out across. If solar/nuclear becomes cheap enough, less efficient for more convenient might still be a worthwhile trade off. But I guess that's something for experts to crunch out. Thanks for the reply.
There's a rule in physics that "the impossible doesn't happen very often". What's more likely, a stunning unexpected discovery, or a subtle experimental error?

If they can force them to take the measures, they could just as easily argue that the measures (say, lockdown) actually worsen the problem and thus use the same logic to force people not to lockdown.

I’d rather live in a society where we can’t be forced to submit to any health mandates. But I’m definitely in the minority.
DWP is awful. They only send you a bill every 2 months. So by the time you get the bill and see that it's high, it's almost too late to do anything about it before the season is over and the weather has changed. They also combine water, electric, solid waste removal, and sewer onto one bill. So the first time you get a bill from them after having come from somewhere else, you're like, "Why is my electric bill for my 800 square foot house with no air conditioning $800???" Oh, it's 2 months, and for 4 different things. Quite irritating all around. There was a ballot initiative to get them to send a monthly bill, but of course it had a bunch of other stuff that made no sense in it so it got shot down.
As an aside, I found it very refreshing to see a youtube video like this that wasn't full of jump cuts.

Apparently you dont understand how evolution works. Trees in colder climates dont have a resistance to certain pests because freezing weather keeps them in check. Changing the climate quickly allows these pests to overrun the tree populations. This isn't an issue in warmer climates because life evolved differently there.

> Youtube don't do those

YouTube can't just "opt out" of the law. YouTube absolutely responds to DMCA notices, and per the video he issued counter-claims already - that's a core part of responding to DMCA.

https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/policies/copyright/#...

And you don't have to go through youtube's webtools to submit one, either (which of course you don't - the law doesn't require that). You can mail, fax, or email the DMCA takedown notice: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6005908?hl=en&ref_...

>You can manufacture hydrogen anywhere as long as you have water, an electrolyzer, and a power source.

I don't understand what you're arguing with here? You can manufacture synthetic hydrocarbons anywhere so long as you have water, carbon dioxide, and a power source too. So I'm not sure why you see this as an advantage for hydrogen.

>but shouldn't we attempt to engineer huge carbon emitters like container shipping or aircraft to run on hydrogen + solar?

Again, why hydrogen from solar vs hydrocarbons from solar? From a global warming perspective what matters is net GHG.
Youtubers aren't employees, though - they're independent businesses (if they actually make money from it) that use YT as their platform.

Police discretion is a great example imho. Watch everywhere in your day to day as laws are applied based on a subjective real time evaluation of the situation.
> The infrastructure has no multiple use, unlike improvements to the grid.

You need hydrogen for steel production, ammonia, and synthetic hydrocarbon production. Likely cement, glass, and plastic production too.

> So why not just do full manufacture of regular fuel? I've never understood where hydrogen fits between improving batteries/capacitors and synthetic hydrocarbons.

Because fuel cells are batteries themselves, and synthetic hydrocarbon needs hydrogen.
Just to be clear, I obtained the passwords (including root) with "crack", but I NEVER used them. I did not ever attempt to log into any account that I was not authorized to use. All I did was to notify the actual administrator of the system about the security issues. The issues being both that even through "shadow passwords" was working properly, one could still obtain encrypted passwords by using "ypcat passwd", and that some users (including him) were using insecure passwords. The user who panicked and called my boss had just assumed that I accessed his Windows account. Oh, and there were never any hard feelings between us after that. We are still friends today.
With all due respect, perhaps you haven’t been paying attention. We are heading down a very scary path. And here in America everyone is so desperate to “prove Trump wrong” or whatever their motivation is that they’re ignoring giving any thought to:

What if the government shouldn’t have this power?

What I find interesting about Sweden is that Tegnell (correctly imo) thought lockdown would make things worse, but that wasn’t how he justified not locking down. He said that Sweden, being a free society, did not have the authority to perform a China-style lockdown.

The rest of the “free” world ignored that point. They gave NO thought to whether they had the power to impose these measures. They just succumbed to their fear.
That’s a silly comic. It acts as if economic activity only benefits shareholders, not people with jobs who pay taxes which fund social programs.
>If it can power a space probe, it can power a car.

The RTGs that powered the voyager probes output 470 watts. That is about 7 lightbulbs.

Yeah, this is part of YouTube's moat. Twitter as well.

Of the people who get kicked off of those platforms, a significant number will be socially obnoxious. They of course have "freedom of speech but not freedom of reach", and our legal structure has decided that the big platforms get to enjoy being both a platform and a publisher, simultaneously.

So when a competitor comes along, the natural way to differentiate is to say "we won't ban you unless you break the law". So the socially obnoxious flood to the new plaform, and pretty quickly, you've got a core user base of people who like that, and a few people who are merely willing to tolerate it on principle.

I don't think this was originally strategic, more a matter of not wanting socially obnoxious voices on the platform, because advertisers don't care for that sort of thing. But it so obviously contributes to the continued dominance of the big platforms that there's no chance they haven't noticed.
The biggest thing I've learned from good lawyers, is that with the law - there's always an appeal, a different interpretation, and a challenge or request for exemption from a rule.

Applying to be a lawyer in and of itself can be a process of figuring out the correct paperwork to fill out and asking for a special exemption on a piece of missing information or a missed deadline.
Hard to know.

I read it as, "huh?" or "what?" or even maybe, "who are you kidding?" and for all of those determining offense level comes with context.

In this context, the person replying clearly sees it as a bullet and puts some detail on why out there.

Frankly, that kind of thing is as offensive as we all might think it is. Almost any offensive thing is.

Context matters.

I do the same, and also back up my email regularly with getmail so that it will be easy to transfer, either if Google arbitrarily locks my account, or if they just shut down Gmail for good.

I wish there was a good solution to similarly back up Google Photos -- only partial metadata is exposed via the API.

> Plugins and scripting languages flourish when they democratize the process of adding features to a piece of code . . . In the best addon ecosystems, the core maintainers put some safety rails on the system so the addons can't do anything too crazy. Then they watch the cream of the crop and start trying to include them in the base functionality (limiting the number of optional features the majority of their users have to manually pick).

Well, it's a cost/benefit judgment call, not a single valuation. And I think for situations like this, if you have to pick a side, it's generally better to pick the exclusionary walled garden over the bazaar -- I think the value of democratization is usually overstated, and the drawbacks underemphasized.
