Also, Youtube's TOS is not Gihub's TOS, and is not the RIAA's TOS.
It's true, the list is growing every day. I remember not long ago how the term "sexual preference" became considered offensive overnight, purely for political reasons. It was interesting to see even the dictionary immediately change their definition in response to some twitter drama. Despite the fact that the offense is completely baseless, since people cannot freely change their preferences.
What other process?

It's not cynical, it's absolutely true. When I lived in Austin companies would adjust peoples pay down when they moved there because there was no state income tax in Texas so they'd claim they were being paid the same and the employees were being "greedy" by wanting the same salary.
There’s a good deep dive on options there, but I’m just stuck on the formula they use for cab fare. $.50/minute of below 12 mph, $2.50 while over.

What?? Why would you do it like that? That incentivized jerking up to 12 mph whenever possible.

Uber got this right early on: the rate for the time and mileage are separate.

I have done a little bit of corticofugal recording where we'd stimulate thalamus and record from cortex, and i was impressed enough at that. This opens up whole new frontiers in the game, though.
No evidence is given about whether the bias is unconscious.

In Texas, you can only get a mail-in ballot if you are over the age of 65, or will not be in your county on voting day.

I'm sure there is no self-serving intent behind these kinds of rules.
I would never say they shouldn’t vote and if I implied that then that was my mistake. My only point is that disparaging people who appear “party loyal” ignores the motivations that underpin that “loyalty”. On average people are pretty smart and I don’t think it’s too difficult to see some of the very real reasons why, at least nationally, people vote against one party or the other.

The joke about minorities begrudgingly huddling around the Democratic Party exists for a reason.

I grew up in Kalamazoo. Moved back last October due to the arrival a new child and desire to be close to family/cheap housing.

Sold the house 10 months later and I’m already back in Seattle. Whatever idealized version of Michigan I had in my brain was not there when I got there. Couldn’t stand the culture, weather, or evangelicalism.

It is cheap though. Not so much if you want to live anywhere remotely desireable however. Homes in our neighborhood were going for over 400k. At that price I’m going to live where I want to live instead.
In the US, that “the capability for broad, fast, collective action has been all-but wiped out” is not a consequence of liberalism, neo- or otherwise, but of a deliberate strategy of those most vehemently opposed to it in any form (real or imagined.)

You don't get access to the file itself, it's only viewable inside the Youtube app. It's DRM'd content, subject to Youtube's corporate decision making (they might revoke access and wipe the video at any time), or put arbitrary limits on it that wouldn't be there if you had the actual file itself. Basically the content producer (like a music label) lends Youtube their content, and then Youtube lends it to you.

Delhi has 4 really good engineering schools as well (IIT and IIIT-Delhi are world class, DCE/DTU and NSIT / NSUT have equally smart kids). In my experience they aren't going for big company jobs now but are more geared towards joining smaller firms or starting something of their own. Co-working space is also a big thing there. Transport isn't as bad as Bangalore. Hope the air is better and women's safety increases as well. The food is the best in India - my biased take :)

Thanks for being so attentive. You just went up 10 points in my book. Still, I can't imagine what your customer service would be like. "It was your fault you didn't have another copy of your emails. delete+purge working as intended." Please, you don't need to respond to that specifically. I just intend it as a contrived example of what I might expect based on your product page. I hope you can understand why someone might feel this way.

I don't have gobs of time but I will at least talk quickly about the 2 specific points since I did raise them and you are kindly enough to want the feedback.

Encryption at rest is not quackery. It protects against theft of physical media. It protects against loss of data when decommissioning media. This happens all the time, in unexpected uncontrolled ways, both when under your direct control and when run in the cloud. No, it does not protect against in-use theft nor the situations you describe. That doesn't make it quackery. It is not encoding; the keys do not need to be stored on the disk being encrypted. (That of course is worthless.)

ASPs are valuable for the same reason oauth is valuable. When you have an account that controls very many services/apps, and you want a specific loss to be limited in scope, you will use an ASP. If you login to mail on 5 machines, and you can detect which one gave up a password, it can be useful. 2FA oauth can be very useful for similar reasons, even if after the authorization it is 1FA afterwards. The implementation of ASPs by Google may be deficient in that they weren't actually limited in scope for a very long time (maybe they still aren't, if they even have them anymore?) but the general concept of the ASP is really like a "out of band" oauth. In your case, I imagine you provide email service only. ASPs would have very limited or no utility for you. oauth grants might be valuable (for 2FA reasons), but I haven't looked at your service to be sure.

How many people could actually be asking for ASPs at all? Just leave this off the page altogether. It screams that you are criticizing some other service, rather than extolling the virtues of your own. It's a bad look.
Many TOS are full of legal BS that has not been tested in court.

"You shall not download"

Or what? Can Youtube actually sue me for damages, they haven't suffered any. Some videos are lisenced as Creative Commons. I seriously doubt this has any legal force.
There is usually going to be a better way to manage compliance. By its very nature, the effort is friction inducing.

What I think is the most interesting question is “what are the unstructured/incentives that caused us to end up where we are today”

But yes, there are a ton of artists that need to gauge interest and track notices out to their fans. They make a good amount of their money via merch versus ads. Webtoons handles their signed artists but there are a ton of the unsigned ones that rely on patron and etsy for income.
Is there a way to link through articles about the artist/product to the sign up or have an embedded option on a third party's page?
I thought that's what I wanted to but then I moved from SF to Berlin and it was so incredibly refreshing.

Noise in the data and ethics.

Noise in the data - you want as clean a population as you can get. If you start including people with chronic conditions, as soon as someone in your trial dies you get to play a game called "prove that it wasn't the vaccine that killed them".

Same with people over 55 years old - they are known to respond differently to vaccines. The worst thing in the world would be showing a 49.4% reduction in Covid infection rate (the FDA wants 50% minimum) and then being forced to do a bunch of handwaving about how your results were skewed by the 55+ patients in your study and "by gosh, I swear it would be over 50% if we adjust for them using this methodology we just made up". Nobody will believe you and you'll be relegated to "that vaccine that almost works".

Ethics - Kids aren't (well, very rarely) dying from Covid, but they could die after getting your experimental vaccine. Kids sickened by experimental drugs makes for bad press, not only you, but also the FDA. Easier to just exclude them for now.

Wow, I would never consider there to be any requirement to tell my employer that I moved somewhere else. It would have to be really prominent in new employee orientation etc. for me to even remember the requirement if I'd been there a few years.

Although even with a salary decrease commensurate with a decreased cost of living, there could still be better quality of life, depending on the specific locations. Moving from the Bay Area to a suburban area like in the article, for the right type of person, could be a massive improvement.

Ask HN: What is real profit or loss from running e-commerce store like Shopify?
I am looking to jump into running e-commerce store. All information found so far indicates many people have moved on from selling stuff to selling courses. So my question is, do you run an e-commerce store? How much time do you spend and what’s the profit or loss (mention range if you don’t want to say numbers).

I want to know what’s involved before jumping in. I also have a few questions if I can ask over email. Please point to your profile or other media (Twitter/website) if you are willing to share.
Both of you are right. You happen to be a “Java pro” who knows how to use the tool well. It’s a bit uphill for shops without Java experience - more uphill than with other languages, perhaps.
I think Greyhound stations in every city are weird, it's part of the allure! I do enjoy the megabus station in Reno, it's outside a casino and sometimes you'll get security guards who drag a person out and throw them on (one time a guy was so inebriated I'm not really sure he knew where he was or where he was going)
Unfortunately it's too late to edit my comment now but yes, I should have been clearer that what I meant was taking a hand-held three second exposure with another camera, not that that specific photo itself would be impossible.

It's a reasonable separate point to make that a "proper" camera wouldn't need such a long exposure for the same amount of light.

I'm not sure if puppeteer/playwrite might be a better option for some of those instances, with real Chrome.

I am in agreement with a fair amount of what you said about overprescription, the lack of scientific backing for the chemical imbalance theory, and the less than stellar effectiveness of antipsychotics. But the way you're presenting it makes it sound like a conspiracy theory and truthfully comes off somewhat illogical and paranoid. That takes a lot away from your argument. Maybe there is a conspiracy, but if there is, then you need to back it up with proof or sources.

On another note, there is one thing you are absolutely incorrect about: antipsychotics are not ineffective managing many mental health disorders. Large clinical trials are done before these drugs are even approved for the sole purpose of proving they are better than no treatment.
I like it, especially the up-front demo! For a while I've been wanting to learn Org Mode, and this redesign is making it much more clear to me what Org Mode is and how I'd use it.
No, I don't think you will come out ahead in your investments by trying to predict recessions. Timing the market almost always ends badly in the long term. The best way to come out ahead is to plan based on very long term market trends which include the recessions and stick to your plan with the understanding that there will be recessions, you just don't know when they will start and when they will end.

I'm quite certain if someone simulated trading based on predicted recessions on ZH, you would end up well below market returns.
> presumed correct so the hoster has to take the content down

Absolutely not. The hoster won't enjoy a safe harbor (for the specific accused infringement) if the request is properly formed (which they seldom are, including this one) and they they do not take the material down, but they are under no obligation to do so.

[And as other posters have noted-- in this case a copyright infringement isn't even alleged; they're complaining under the anti-circumvention provisions which have no notice and takedown or safe harbor at all.]
Not sure if this is what you're looking for or not, but Belarus nightclubs are still open:

What specifically would you like to see effort spent on? As you say, it's already a nicer language.
Even though this instrument sounds nothing like contemporary music, Russolo's manifesto describes very accurately the evolution of music genres and people's music taste after the industrial revolution.

> This musical evolution is paralleled by the multipication of machines, which collaborate with man on every front. Not only in the roaring atmosphere of major cities, but in the country too, which until yesterday was totally silent, the machine today has created such a variety and rivalry of noises that pure sound, in its exiguity and monotony, no longer arouses any feeling.

> For many years Beethoven and Wagner shook our nerves and hearts. Now we are satiated and we find far more enjoyment in the combination of the noises of trams, backfiring motors, carriages and bawling crowds than in rehearsing, for example, the “Eroica” or the “Pastoral”.

Based on this idea it should be no surprise that, for example, heavy metal riffs were invented by a factory worker or that the first techno music scene started in Detroit.

EFI as a standard needs to be better implemented, but TPMs are your friend when you can change the keys.

I switched back to desktops when the 1st gen Ryzen 8-cores came out and haven't regretted it for a second. Bigger screens, beefy specs, more connectivity, and all of it is incredible value given the price of some 13-14 inch laptops!

I can go actually as light as I would like on my laptop now, even something ARM so that's a plus too, if you don't need mobility and beefy specs at the same time.

It's also structured somewhat like a loan, where $5k is forgiven each year you live there.
My point is that because of the excessive "optimisation" at YouTube, users now have a poor experience if they "don't fit in the middle of the bell curve". The cause of the issues can be high latency, low latency, high bandwidth, low bandwidth... whatever. If you're in the 1%, YouTube has optimised you out in order to save 1% in hosting costs somewhere. It's a type of over-fitting that results in a fragile system.

Engineers at Google get bonuses for shaving 0.1% off of something, because at their scale that could be millions of dollars saved.

Hence protocols like HTTP/3, which exist almost entirely to optimise some Google backend by single-digit percentage points.

YouTube has had every last percent of "inefficiency" squeezed out of it, to the point where lots of users have a degraded experience.

Google famously doesn't care about user experience at all. They care about costs and their own internal KPIs, which are all tied to advertising revenue, not "video playback smoothness".

This is why Firefox was 5x slower on YouTube for years. This is why Google famously has next to zero "customer support", even if you pay them. They don't view you as a customer. You're the product.

Firefox users click on ads less. Firefox users tend to have adblock. They're not good products.

Similarly, Google is fighting a turf war with the likes of NetFlix and Apple for advertising eyeballs, so they do not want to ensure that Apple TV can play back YouTube in the best possible quality. They optimise for Chrome and Chromecast first, everything else a distant second. Got to build that walled garden!

I pay NetFlix the same amount monthly as I pay for YouTube Premium. NetFlix provides support, YouTube doesn't. NetFlix works flawlessly on every device I have, YouTube doesn't.

YouTube doesn't play 4K on my Apple TV 4K! It doesn't play 4K on my flagship Samsung TV! It downgrades my iPhone for 480p even on WiFi!

This kind of anti-consumer (anti-product?) bullshit is why Google needs to be broken up.

The vendor that makes the device, the browser, the search engine, the network protocol, and the advertising platform shouldn't also be television for half the world.

They shouldn't get to degrade the experience to benefit their browser team. They shouldn't get to slow down the experience for a competing browser. They shouldn't get to simply ignore customer complaints. Television broadcasters in most countries have to answer to an ombudsman. YouTube doesn't.

That's too much control that invites anti-competitive, anti-human behaviour. The incentives are all wrong.
You're making a lot of incorrect assumptions. Read the parent comment again. I clearly explained the problems.
Neither is being needlessly defensive.
I've used puppeteer + better-sqlite3 in node for similar jobs in the past... Great combo, but tend to use it only if/when node-fetch + cheerio aren't feasable.

This code scares me:
https://github.com/transcend-io/beyondcorp-cloudfront/blob/m...

This encourages a behavior of copy and pasted authentication javascript from service to service.

The ALB approach from the article at least centralizes the SSO dance in one place, but still a typo in terraform would be very hard to detect.

The BeyondCorp approach Google uses, as far as I know, relies on sophisticated proxy servers in front of ALL protected services to ensure the very tricky aspects like posture assessments, zero day patching, logging, rate limiting and other security best practices are handled in one place.

With a scattershot approach, companies may not be open to a VPN exploit anymore, but may have opened themselves up to many more individual exploits and much slower reaction times when an exploit is found.
> I'm all for more direct democracy but that doesn't mean I want anyone and everyone to vote. We need informed voters.

There is no incentive for people to become more informed. Public choice theory explains this, voters are rationally ignorant.
Been using cheerio with node-fetch myself in these scenarios, puppeteer as well when I need a real browser.
