1/ if you're paying with money, you won't have to pay with personal information

Monopolies (or near monopolies) like to double-dip. A good example of this is net-neutrality. You already pay to be a customer of your ISP, and for your ISP to provide you with Internet access. Your ISP stands to profit even more if they can charge the rest of the Internet for supplying that access to you.
Why not pay for Youtube Premium? We're often talking about how we would gladly pay to keep a sustainable product going on but people are outraged that a _free_ service is increasing monetization through ads.

I think Youtube is great, it's where I find a lot of content, I use it a lot and not seeing ads makes a huge difference. Plus, Youtube Music is great value for the price.
Your suspicion is incorrect.

Twenty years ago, my wife came out of graduate school where they learned about differentiated instruction and inquiry based instruction.

The education field is well aware of how to teach better. However, there are obstacles to the implementation.

1. Resources. Inquiry based education (where the children drive the study) requires a different student to teacher ratio than 30:1.

2. Inertia. You need a systemic change otherwise those fresh new teachers with their fancy up to date pedagogy run into #1 and principals, teachers, and students who are not ready for it.

3. Parents. Parents are also not ready for it. You have parents who want to be certain their child is prepared and ranked.

yes, it implies a negative one though. What about manager/worker? mentor/mentee? commander / responder? I could go on and on. So we do reach a point where one has to wonder what the point of clinging to master/slave is.

I don't understand why people are up in arms about this. It's as if people want their cake and eat it, too. Yes, I'm aware of questionable practices that YouTube does, such as monitizing off of dead people, but I'm still astounded that people are upset about this change. Specifically, I'm referring to the expectation that one can upload a video - for free - and allow it be distributed with millions of views to the world - for free - and without ads. Google's revenue model as always been ads so this change shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. And judging from Google's latest quarterly financial results on YouTube's ads success, I'm personally confused why this wasn't done sooner.
It looks like it's no one's job, though. And the incentives for those third parties are even worse aligned with user interests, in many cases, than Google's incentives.

And I say this as someone that thinks that Google is the scariest company out there, right now.
More performant than any other laptop in the same form factor, with less heat and less power draw than any other laptop. And it only runs macOS. Apple is, once again, two steps ahead of the entire rest of the industry. This is the future: custom hardware and custom software working together as a unit.

(Although for the next few years, I expect PC vendors will just use Snapdragons or Rockchips as a base.)

> Can we at least agree that this is 50% less bad. Or perhaps 25% less bad? 10%?

No, because as has been said many times already, it's a deflection tactic. Focusing on whether 15% is less bad than 30% is a bad thing to do because it accomplishes exactly what Apple's underhanded deflection tactic seeks to accomplish.

But if you really need that addressed, here's a response to your very important question: no, 15% is not less bad than 30% because it means Apple makes less money, and if Apple makes less money they might have to abandon their fancy new M1 chips, and the pace of technological progress will once again fall into stagnation. Sure, small devs will make some more money, but those small devs aren't giving the world shiny toys with rounded corners.

So if Apple releases a cure for cancer, you get the impression that I'll think that's bad? What is even the point of you writing this, is it an argument? Are you trying to passive-aggressively call me something negative? How does this even relate to the discussion?

Been using a different mail provider for 5 years. Just the other month google deleted my gmail account (had it set up to delete after a year of no-login)

It is quite easy to migrate:

1. get a new mail account
2. forward everything from your gmail account
3. sort everything GMail into a separate folder in your new account
4. slowly change email addresses in accounts and let people know your new address.

I think after a year I had 99% of accounts migrated, and can only remember one or two that I moved after that.

It’s a good way to declutter accounts as well and was made a bit easier because I use a password manager.

Also with private emails, if someone contacts me after 5 years, they likely know someone I know and can get my contact Info via them or social media.

Take the opportunity to migrate to a domain you own, because then you are provider independent.
While it may seems like a great idea, I just finished a project for a client on Tailwind.

First of all it's not free, to use UI components it would cost many hundreds of dollars.

But maybe cost is not an issue for all, on the other hand productivity might be.

I found myself terribly less productive, having many classes like:

<div class="mt-8 mx-4 flex flex-col items-center font-medium text-base ..."

it's very hard to add or remove a rule compared to CSS where each rule is on it's own line.

Also some pretty significant issue for me was hot-reloading taking a lot of time, whereas in CSS you can just refresh linked stylesheet, with tailwind you need to reload complete page, and if your page is hosted on a Django/Symfony/RoR application in development mode, you better have to be patient at each CSS modification !

> But at the same time, there are people who have so heavily invested into the YouTube ecosystem with certain expectations for a very long time, and pretty much have their entire business on there, so they can't very easily take their business elsewhere if they're unhappy with the change.

> It would be a massive undertaking to shift their backlog of videos onto another service, and they'd lose all their existing subscribers and have to build it up elsewhere.

To me this sounds like a description of YouTube's business model — one that works for other services too, because people go along with it.

So this seems... unsurprising to me. I'm genuinely curious to know what YouTube users were expecting instead. I get the impression some people see this as a breach of trust, but to me it seems like the obvious thing YouTube would do.
My iOS app had a lot of success on Reddit but I was careful about how I approached it (don't be sleazy and actually show some interest in the community) and spawned my own small subreddit where I post updates.

Yes, requesting evidence. If they say it is secret, you should conclude the info is false because it very likely is. If there is strategic need to hold it secret, which would probably be < 1% of cases, the public needs a trustable delegate witness. How much trust the witness has is decided by the public.

I think how the game plays is very important. Counter Strike 1.6, Minecraft, Wolfenstein etc. These games had a lot to offer as an experience, almost an arcadeish feeling.

I hate AMP as a user. It breaks my browsing experience in strange and sometimes unexpected ways. (like certain scroll features can stop working, sometimes weird features like search in page can also break. Sometimes when you try to highlight some text, it will highlight a whole section. And the solution is always --> click the button to get to the actual page and then it is fine)
In the last year (or so?) the amount of ads I see when using the iOS/tvOS YouTube native apps has steadily increased, where now I basically have to sit through 2 x 15s ads at the start of almost any video I want to watch.

And only after the second or third video I watch am I finally given the "skip" button, and then after a few more videos, it's back to unskippable for a while, etc..

Not to mention the constant push for YT Premium, it's every 3rd or 4th time I launch the app now that I have to tap past a full-screen interstitial asking me to subscribe.

Google is already steadily increasing the amount of ads they are making people sit through on YouTube, and so a move like this just feels like more steps down the same path they've already been on for quite a while.
you could still block that ad, you would just be delaying people. the browser plugin could fake stream the ad before you click play. it still means you have to wait sometimes, but you won't have to actually watch the ad. The big problem with this is that now you're heavily incentivizing people to spoof ad watching to get around it, and then you start having trouble measuring the real numbers, which advertisers won't be happy about

I think VS Code will get there very quickly given demand and availability on Windows ARM. For nginx etc, many people have moved to Docker or uses Vagrant workflows which may slow them down. Anyone who follows more classic workflows or installs from Brew should be in better shape.
Governments absolutely can. The updates to tzdata [1] are full of arbitrary changes happening all around the globe, not just for a few weird countries. The example I quoted above is 2007 changes to the United State's DST and a perfect example that governments can push time zone changes with at most marginal perceived benefits. Also remember that the current proposal to abolish leap seconds itself was primarily arosen due to computing complications anyway. Programmers can (indirectly) affect the future of leap seconds than probably any other group else.

> I will never understand why people feel like reasonable conversation is something to be only techically legal and limited in every capacity possible, instead of something we should try and pursue.

Because we've learned in the past decade or so that the "marketplace of ideas" fallacy is false. Ideas aren't traded like market goods; rather, they spread like disease. And the way to prevent dangerous ideas like Nazism from threatening society is the same as the way we prevent diseases like COVID from threatening society: containment. Isolate the afflicted, and implement measures to limit the exposure of everyone else.
In my mind, there are two large categories of advertisements. The first and more common on traditional media is exposure-type ads which are just about getting the brand name embedded in your head so choose that product over another next time you're shopping.

The second is the type in these sponsor ads. They have calls to action and are still interested to a small degree in brand awareness, but it's not the main focus.

All that's to say, the latter type of ads is about how many people follow the link and less so about whether the ad landed on all the eyeballs.

At least that's my layperson's view, devoid of having ever studied advertising.
I switched everything over to protonmail a few years ago.

I’m was never as invested in gmail as a lot of people, but it was my primary email for many years.

It was still a pain to switch, especially since i started fresh (no email / contact transfers). Now they have better tools to transfer email but after some thought, i wanted to start over with everything.

It did feel really good once it was done. It forced me to evaluate what was important vs what wasn’t, and it got me pretty organized.

Not for everyone but its doable. My guess is it took 6 months for me. I do have my gmail account yet just in case but its been a few years since anything important showed up there. I mainly keep it for youtube anyway.

What does the "war against URLs" even mean? Sounds like it could be one of two things:

1. Chrome only showing the domain in the address bar

No, I doubt it'll make any difference here. Google's reasons for doing that are anti-fraud, not anything to do with AMP. And (I'll give up shouting this into the void one day, I swear) Apple did this with Safari years ago and no-one cared. It's outrage for outrage's sake.

2. The whole "web packaging" format issue

Google proposed a standard that let you "fake" the URL of a page (albeit with cryptographic signing to ensure it actually came from the right host). This might be dead in the water, yes. Mozilla and Apple already came out against it, and one the primary use cases was AMP. I doubt Google will un-implement it any time too soon, but I think it'll end up being a weird edge thing that very few people care about or use.

It's time to coin a new term, "Ad Creep"

- One Ad per video that the creator chooses to elect

- Each Ad can be skipped after 5 seconds

- Two Ads now but the first can still be skipped the second cannot

- The first Ad's skip time increased from 5 seconds to 6 seconds

- Videos get Ads regardless of creator consent

I'm noticing a trend, and it sucks for those that like to use YouTube in app form since you're kind of stuck w/o the use of Ad Blockers.

Well, even more recently there have been revelations that one of their sources about the Syrian war has been just some guy who made up all of his story. https://globalnews.ca/news/7350363/rcmp-arrests-abu-huzayfah...

With their recent breaking story of Donald Trump $750 tax, I've been reading through their published article, but have not found any solid evidence for this proposed figure, only just a bunch of links to their previous articles in past years. If anyone can find some actual evidence for the $750 tax bill from the NYT report, I would very much like to see it https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/29/us/trump-750-taxes.html
Then those companies should use a paid video CDN service to host their content?

Which now makes me wonder if YouTube will launch a paid hosting offering sometime in the future that guarantees ad-free viewing.
Then you are a victim of Apple's tortious interference between yourself and your customers. Apple installs malware on every iDevice preventing users from installing apps they choose to purchase from 3rd parties.
I mean easier to try out and transitions into.

Like vue even works without a build, just create an empty html page and import vue and you can fiddle away.

Also angular wants to own the entire page, which makes transitioning parts of a page not the easiest. And if you did anyway (like we did) you ship 1MB+ of framework just for the smallest widgets.

In angular there is so much stuff upfront, its just a bigger barrier to get beginners interested in.

Yes, of course it is. Most users can’t replace tires, spark plugs, or even oil in their cars. Parts are considered consumable if they are reasonably expected to be consumed during normal operation. No court is going to hold a company liable for basic physics.
I feel like YouTube as we knew it before is probably going to come to an end soon. Between youtube ads, ad reads, sponsors, patreon plugs and merch ads, it is either going to wind up looking like cable tv or it is going to die and make way for some paid service.

I saw a video with a sponsor, a separate THREE MINUTE ad read for some stupid mobile game AND 2 youtube ads. The video was 10 minutes.

I understand video creators need to make money but at this point i’d rather just have some patreon service where I can subscribe to channels individually for a dollar or two a month.

It seems like the fate of all streaming services is to end up like cable.

I'm not super happy with the Web Vitals, either. They seem to be pushing the Web toward deploying a lot of otherwise-unnecessary JavaScript cleverness that ultimately presents itself to me in the form of a generally more obnoxious experience. Older and non-Chrome browsers may have difficulty rendering it. Total bandwidth consumption can go up, because it's A-OK to load a bunch of enormous resources later, just as long as it doesn't happen on initial page load, or take longer than 4 seconds to happen, as measured by the company with the fastest Internet connection in the world.

Long story short, I don't see it as best practices that serve Internet users as a whole. They seem to be more closely tailored to the interests of Google. And, by extension, the subset of netizens from which they can generate the most revenue.
How to Deploy ML Models with AWS Lambda
Storing authenticated and encrypted data on IPFS is a core building block for many Web3 applications, but to date there has not been a standardized way to encode this type of data.

Without a standard, many developers have been forced to create custom formats for their signed and encrypted data. This has been prohibitive to the openness and interoperability of information stored in IPFS by siloing data to their particular implementation. Another approach to authenticated data has been to put data in IPFS and put the CID of the data in a smart contract on a blockchain, such as Ethereum. This is essentially an expensive way of adding a signature on top of the data and persisting the signature record on the blockchain.

With the introduction of EIP-2844, a standard that allows wallets to support a few new methods for signing and decrypting data based on DIDs and the dag-jose IPLD codec, we can now simply put authenticated and encrypted data directly into IPFS. In this tutorial, you will learn how you can utilize these primitives with two libraries, js-did and 3ID Connect.

This work was funded through grants by the IPFS, Filecoin, and Ethereum foundations.
Both are different cases. Monopoly (dominant position) isn't bad abusing monopoly in one segment to gain market in another is. So AMP is bad, as they are abusing monopoly in search/news to enter hosting/content platform business. Youtube monetization is not independent of Youtube, so they are free to build upon it.
That doesn't work too well with Firefox for Android, because Mozilla disabled most addons (there's like only 11 addons that are approved). I think it is possible to enable them in Firefox for Android Nightly[1] by creating an "add-on collection", which is kind of a pain and the first extension that I tried doesn't appear to work correctly (Redirector) and the browser just crashed after disabling the addon.

Another way would be to stick with Fennec v68 from fdroid, but that is not such a great idea, but at least the extensions do work.
