It does no such thing. People can help all they want. They just don't do it in an interface that Google provides. Instead they edit subtitles and send them to the channel's owner. The owner applies them, in the youtube interface, to their video.

Given the effort of making captions is actually the work of writing the captions themselves the effort went from several hours of work to the same several hours of work +1 minute. Literally nothing of importance changed. And that +1 minute assumes Youtube's UX was best in class because of it wasn't then moving to a better UX could save more time.

The level of animosity toward anything Google does is absurd. If there was a captioning service making money and Google added captions they'd get shade for ruining a market. Now they are removing an arguably rarely used UI but still leaving the feature (captions) completely available. There's literally no harm. The people actually motivated to write captions will barely notice the change. They'll still write them. All they have to do is send them to the channel creator. If the channel creator doesn't want them nothing has changed. They had to approve them before, they have to approve them now except click 1-2 buttons to upload them. Sheesh

I would mention date and time. XML has them standardized, see xs:dateTime, xs:time, xs:date. In JSON everyone is inventing their own incompatible representation, can be various ISO string formats, or various numbers (seconds, milliseconds, etc) from some epoch, look at that mess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(computing)#Notable_epoc...

C# has XmlReader and XmlWriter classes in the standard library. Technically they are not event based, but conceptually they’re pretty close to SAX, i.e. they implement streaming forward-only parser, and streaming producer.

It depends very much on where you live. Localized results outside of the US suck with DDG. Yes, you can set a language but you always have to set/unset it and even then it's not great at providing results that are relevant to a specific location, even if specified in the search query.

On the other hand that's no wonder, from all search traffic I've seen, Google tends to crawl 5-10x as much as Bing (DDG bot is basically non-existant). Google's index is much broader and more current than others because they crawl basically the whole web constantly. It's no wonder that Bing lags behind Google if they crawl everything apart from the most popular pages irregularly.
Only to prevent yourself from contracting it, worse for preventing transmission to others.

You just have to remember to slow down when the time and motion person is monitoring your work - its I known way of gaming the system.

In England/UK, there is a permanent recommendation to supplement Vitamin D b/c of endemic deficiency, given out by the public health bodies: Public Health England (PHE) (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/phe-publishes-new-advice-...) and NICE (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ph56). It is not strictly Covid-19 related, it predates it. It is just not publicized enough, and not acted on sufficiently.
Imho you are right. Given the balance of risks/costs of intervention (Vitamin D safe, cheap, prior knowledge population deficient & helps respiratory illness) versus not (pandemic) it is a no-brainer: to increase the uptake (via better publicity and more).
As to "why is it not done", I think: the default is "no intervention", and it has not found its champion to push for intervention. As simple as that.

I used to like DuckDuckGo but that was because it used Bing which was relatively uncensored at the time. Bing has become heavily censored now in it's search results (similar to Google) and now DuckDuckGo doesn't find accurate search results for many terms on more edgy or politically incorrect or risque topics.
I don’t think it’s outrageous to hope that company interests would be the prime goal of someone in a high-level position. Self-interest being the goal is what I find problematic.
Expect more of this as users hold onto their devices for longer and services become increasingly important as a source of recurring revenue. Apple is uniquely positioned to weather this transition. The best way I can see forward for Samsung here is profit sharing with Google and Microsoft.

> Along the Mississippi River we wait in a siding for an approaching freight train

Good grief. With all of that big country and having had more than a century to make rail routes 'broad way' with four tracks, it beggars belief that so many U.S. rail routes are this third-world, poverty spec. single track arrangement.

Plus the options for delays are comical. You could understand a train being hours late if it was on its first outing as a prototype but really? Hot air balloons have a more predictable and reliable service.

Plus the heritage of U.S. railroads and the fantastic loading gauge mean that U.S. trains should be the best and the most stylish in the world. Those double deck carriages with observation domes and the potential for cool end carriages and comfy sleeping arrangements are just not so easy in other countries. Plus the scenery is spectacular in much of the U.S. Why the reality is people driving for hours with attention focused on the road the whole way - is this not a waste of human potential? You could be reading or doing your knitting on the train rather than holding that wheel.

I think that the rail network in the U.S. is not to be given up on. There could even be a whole new approach to it. I often wonder if you could build vastly lighter trains that used active suspension and other gizmos that you might find in a deluxe German road car to put some magic back into rails. Plus speed is a problem on U.S. rail. Even in the UK there are trains that slightly terrify you with a genuine perception of 120+ mph speed. In the U.S. you can be crawling along at 12 mph and that is if you are not stuck in a siding waiting for a mile long freight train to crawl past at 12 mph.

Recently I learned the PRR T1 trains in the days of steam would be doing an estimated 140 mph if behind schedule. Those streamliner trains from almost a century ago were just so cool. For the 21st century America needs trains that suit post Covid, post-boomer lifestyles that hark back to the majesty of times past.

Do you analyse your HN comments? How?

Sometimes I read my old HN comments (I only comment here) and get a lot of insights. Subjects where my thoughts changed, subjects where my thoughts are still the same, my strenghts, my weaknesses, etc.

I wonder if there is any tool to facilitate this.
I didn't understand - it sounds like the problem isn't the dual flush but the use of a drop valve system, introduced in 2001.

It implies that dual flush doesn't require a drop valve system ("Most dual-flush toilets use a drop valve system" suggests that some do not.)

So was the "water-saving device" supposed to be the drop valve system? Because the main focus of the article is dual flush toilets, not drop valves.

I did a DDG search and found http://www.elementalsolutions.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/... from 2012 which describes that leaky drop valves in dual flush toilets was already a known problem then.

It points out that one of the disadvantages to siphon flush ("all UK toilets prior to 2001") is "Dual flush operation less obvious to the user", so dual flush is certainly possible with siphon flush.

While it points out that one of the advantages of a drop value is "Allows lower flush volumes by giving a higher flow rate." Which makes it also a water-saving device.

Which makes me think the article has the wrong focus.

The problem just is that it's often infeasible to replace the higher income. And since women in their early 30s are (unfortunately) often paid worse on average than men (due to many factors), women stay out longer and lose out even more.
Machine captions in English. Not in non-English. Swedish and Norwegian, both fairly close to English, when compared to say, Chinese of Japanese, have no autogenerated captions - the system simply never offers that as an option. If you think the system is perfect, you are very wrong.
There is another problem, beyond the initial ads-based business. This information gathered about you, albeit anonymously, is correlated. This helps train models about groups of people, in order to derive value from group information. It can then be sold to insurances, banks, etc.

Derived information may look like:
"Clojure programmers buy a new computer every 3 years on average"
"Women in medium socio-economic groups tend to have kids at 31 years old"

But maybe I'm a programmer that cares about waste, and use the hell out of my computers, until it is completely unusable, making them last way longer.
Maybe I'm a woman with trouble getting pregnant, and I won't have kids until much later.

Nevertheless, insurances and banks will use that information against me.

This information grouping you take part of, is de-humanizing. Humans are infinitely complex, ever-evolving creatures and categorizing us is profitable business. I do not want to be treated through the lens of the probability of a group I belong to, no matter how small the box.
You can buy mouse jigglers on amazon to do this :-)
So firstly, I really like this. I find it nicely readable, I like that the structure is almost all you have to write, and I'm quite a fan of lisp-y syntax anyway, so no surprises there.

The primary reason we choose Jsonnet for the registry library was because it's already become our data munger of choice at GoCardless, and we're keen to limit the number of tools we use to make our work more accessible to people outside our team, along with our new joiners.

So while your example works really quite beautifully for this use case, we'd naturally prefer to choose a tool that can work for all our use cases. And Jsonnet has a bit win over the language you've sketched here, in its inheritance and mixin semantics, which allow us to write configuration like complex Kubernetes manifests that are composeable and allow flexible overriding of fields from the caller.

Someone else has mentioned dhall-lang in the comments. We looked at this and several alternatives before we began a push for Jsonnet about a year ago- we ended up choosing Jsonnet over these because:

- Jsonnet has first-class support in Golang, our primary language for infrastructure code
- Everyone who knows JSON already knows how to write valid Jsonnet. This was important, as we expect application engineers to contribute to the Jsonnet config, and asking them to learn something totally novel is a bit much
- There were several tools like Ksonnet and Tanka from which we could take inspiration, especially around managing of Kubernetes resources, which was the big motivation behind a total revamp

If I were working on a team solo, I think dhall-lang would look really appealing to me. I like strongly typed languages and have a bit of experience in Haskell, so it looks very normal to me. That said, cuelang (https://github.com/cuelang/cue) looks super interesting, though it has a very different take to Jsonnet.

This is a roundabout way of saying I really like your example, and I see our choice of Jsonnet as another version of our choice of Golang: the network effects were too great to ignore, and it's good enough to work for almost everything, if not the best in any one area.

This piece is a collection of disjointed claims and complaints. There is little in the way of argumentation to support any of them (and nothing in the way of evidence).

The existence of a valid opposing view on each of these claims isn't even acknowledged.

Then there's that the content is disjointed from the title. Clickbait is evil.

Do they wait with showing ads, say a month or so, until after the common return policy for most stores have expired? That would be a really evil thing to do, just struck my mind.

Also, sounds like a case of optimization creep - "I know a way to get even more revenue, we just sign up with this $more_shady_ad_network!". Displaying more and more creepy ads, no-one decreasing ads since they don't want to be the one decreasing ad revenue.

Apparently Flightaware also had issues which could explain that. ADSBExchange was still up but they're probably just too unknown for attackers to care. If you bring down Flightaware and Flightradar you can prevent most people from tracking those flights.
Yes it is.

Especially after you tried configuring an application which has pages-long comments with commented out examples that are misaligned to indentation, and an app takes few minutes to show you an config error.

It is completely impractical - it looks nice - but we aren't writing for YAML for non-technical users, we are writing it for machines and other technical users.

I seriously wonder why TOML isn't popular.
That stood out to me too. A good article, but a bit unwise to include a dig at the Python language. At the very least we can all agree it's a very successful language. Beyond that, it's the kind of thing people have strong feelings on. If you want to make the case against a major programming language, that should be done in an article of its own.
I often hear AI researchers say that AI behaviours can only be explained in limited cases, not in general.

I’d be surprised if there is anything that it’s like to be a smartphone, or even an AI running in a smartphone, but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility.
Imagine how bonkers this is if you consider that an app store is essentially a discovery mechanism much like a search engine is for the web. Google could say: 'If you want your website to be listed on our search engine you need to let us handle your payments', and it wouldn't be fundamentally different. The whole Apple v Epic and Google v Epic lawsuits are interesting to view with that in mind.
Minimum Elucidating Examples
Appears to be mostly back up, albeit very unstable. They needed several attempts so I guess attackers had a few attack vectors and switched those every time one was closed. Which points to a well prepared attack, not just a script kiddy renting a few AWS servers.
Well that does get very difficult with TV since a large number of people stream, the app on my LG is actually better than my Apple TV but it is toss up with the Roku on the other TV.

So I am going to say, for the technically inclined its time to chase down your router firewall logs and find where the TV is going to for ads and block the IP or port range. Would be curious what the TV does, properly engineered it should just act as if its not connected at all.
When I wrote about phones "Mass market is demanding products nonsensically thin to the detriment of other properties, because it was told to. It could be told otherwise." I got laughed off. That the market isn't going to serve my fancy preferences.

But this is the same thing, the market is repeatedly told to ask for smart devices, even when dumb TV is all the users need.

The one we were told at University was the contractor who charged £5,000 for a few hours work fixing a design, which in the end took five pencil marks.

You can do this with the WebM container, not with MP4. The reason is that the MP4 container requires the video frames to be segmented properly and marked into a metadata part of the file which can be in front or end but cannot be created with an infinite stream. WebM (i.e. VP8/9) is not supported on Apple's platform so you also have to have a fallback of HLS + H.264. But in general its doable with WebM and works pretty nice with low latency compared to segmented formats like HLS and DASH. It's impossible to cache on a CDN of course, which is not the case with HLS.
Here's wondering if these ads can be blocked simply with a DNS based blocker like PiHole.

It's even worse when the ad server is down: it will completely lock-up your TV and you can't even watch it anymore. In the best case it makes it excruciatingly slow. That's why I turned off networking on my SmartTV already a year or two ago. No ads, works as a TV should.

The Hoover Dam was 85 years ago, the moon landing program was 50+ years ago, the interstate buildout was 40-60 years ago.

The disfunctionality of the US at large-scale projects emerged in the 80s, possibly to do with both the creation of the modern Republican agenda by Ailes (divisive populism over bipartisanship, and preference of tax cuts over maintaining infrastructure), and the acceptance of the environmental movement by the Democrats. Maybe also by the illusion that the the demise of the USSR meant the "end of history" and the focus can turn from trying to get the US to be #1 to prying to get a bigger slice of the pie domestically...
