nothing misleading about my comment.

it’s not all retail. it’s retail minus auto sales, travel etc etc basically anything that amazon doesn’t sell.

they have 5% of that pie.

offer a rebuttal if you can instead of attacking the commentator personally next time you leave a reply on this website.

i was actually curios as to why you considered it a monopoly when in fact the numbers are against you.

I saw the video as well.

> First of all, the video uploader is promoting a competitor to YouTube. This is not disclaimed clearly.

You are starting of by literally the last thing on the video which is the promotion of the uploader's income stream, a standard practice for full-time youtubers... to prove what?

> The video goes over criticism to the CIA, which are fair enough. But it takes some things as axioms, for example, that only the US are interfering/meddling in the world. He presents it as "the US is the bad guy and the world would be fair without the CIA." Which also is a form of propaganda.

There is no such claim in the video. Very dishonest of you to missinform people about it.

Apart from that, I agree with your overall conclusion. Youtube is not a public interest organization, they are a private company making money from ads, it is their right to do as they will on their platform. The sooner people realize that, the better. Beyond that, there is an argument here for having transparent practices. There is nothing preventing youtube from saying the truth about what they do.
More importantly, Apple doesn't allow using any other payment processor other that their own.

Even if the product/service you are selling is mostly outside of apple ecosystem (like email or cloud storage or something like that, where web users pay only 2-3% payment processor fee), Apple won't allow you to use your existing payment processor via a link to your website. If that's not anti competitive behaviour then what is?

Hope EU legislators take action soon.
The right to be drafted and die yes. The rich could literally bribe their way out of conscription.

That meets the "can't criticize" criteria, but not the "are your masters" criteria, unless there's some sort of secret cabal of disabled boys ruling over us.
He did it because it gave him, as a YouTuber, a great video camera for a very good price.

It is a real problem. The questions is for whom? For the majority of canon R5 buyers? I doubt that.
You could see this kind of thing happening with macro images on imgur and reddit 6 years ago. So much of this "organic" social media is just submarine PR. It's awful.
You can only claim tech isn't diverse if you ignore the massive overrepresentation of asians. Going off of Google's diversity report (because it's easy to find), non hispanic whites make up 43% of Google but 61% of America. For blacks it's 5% of Google and 12% of America. By those metric we should be pushing Google to hire more white and black employees.
if you have borrow checking, you are going to inherit a lot of complexity in order to deal with the limitations it imposes. you could be simpler than rust, for sure, but bot as simple as say C or Go.

Zig might be a language you are interested in. Simple like C with sensible ways of dealing with UB and bounds checking, as well as options instead of Nulls.

But just about all of those people listed are alleged to have committed actual crimes. They may have done so for noble reasons, and a large group of people may not agree that they should be crimes, but they are currently still crimes.
I guess the difference is that I can go to another property with lower rent, and that the yield on store rents is tiny in comparison.

Maybe it would be more similar if we said "Imagine if all the retail real-estate property was owned by 1-2 companies, and they took...".

Is there a solution there in your mind. Why would anti-science people listen to scientists in the first place?

There are many ways people think, the minority think like you do.

I'm just showing how such statements can be tweaked. You'll always fight an uphill battle trying to convince people with "logic", especially when people subscribe to religion, superstition, fear and conspiracy theories. This no matter the "scorn". The other side can muster up much more of that anyways. Unfortunate yes, but it's a call for much needed creativity also. Condemnation has already been thoroughly tried now.

I'm pretty sure Voltaire didn't say it in English, meaning the full quote above it like the one that parent comment said was like something Voltaire said - a translation of something that Voltaire actually said.

In that case I think the two translations convey the meaning about equally well, and I don't think that because one translation comes from a bad person makes it any worse a translation of what Voltaire intended.
> Do you? Not to over simplify things, but freedom, liberty, and equal treatment were pretty much empty words and applied only to white American men (see: treatment of Native Americans, the Mexican-American war, slaves, and women).

This is nonsense. The US was a left-wing experiment. It was a repudiation of the way things were done in Europe. The fact that it didn't solve every single inequity in one blow is not an interesting observation.

It's fair game to criticize the US, but to misunderstand its history to this extent is just sad. The US was radically egalitarian at its founding and served as the example for the rest of the world for at least a century and a half.

John Adams: "I always consider the settlement of America as the opening of a grand scheme and design in Providence for the illumination and emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth."
I think you could make a good case that orphans with leukaemia are a stereotypical example of a utility monster, where the moral halo around them leads our society to waste tons of resources that would go much further doing something unglamorous like, say, free mass vitamin D supplementation. Would this rise to the level of criticism? Because I wouldn't be particularly worried about making that statement and signing it with my real name. Sure, the Society for Saving Orphans with Leukaemia and the ten people who read their tweets may be very upset at me, but I doubt that my employment or social situation would be seriously threatened, I'd find my phone calls mysteriously redirected, be rejected at the US border or barred from flights altogether.
Take that $1M and invest it. If you make 6%/yr, that’s $60k/yr! I average 20%/yr so that’s definitely doable.

The easy way: Consider $ARKK, $VTI, the ray dalio all weather portfolio, or the Harry Browne permanent portfolio. Use portfoliobacktester.com to analyze your investment choices.

Here is a reading resource for you to consider https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/investing...

He talks heavily about target date funds. Personally I don’t invest in TDFs because ETFs like ARKK and VTI give much higher long-term returns but for the highly risk adverse, they can be perfect.

I was more so referring to the right to vote, run for office, etc. You are certainly not wrong about the other parts though.
This reminds of Robert Pike's "Systems Research is Irrelevant" speech [1]. Now, 20 years after his speech, we are still stuck with the same notions (such as everything being a string). It's not that there are not plenty of alternatives around, however, expectations are so high that it's almost impossible to make a new computer system economically viable. On the other hand, the hacker and maker scene is very active, some of them building operating systems and hardware such as tiny Lisp-based machines [2] and OSes [3]. (My only gripe is that most of the new "avant-garde" systems are still text/file-based.)

I'd love to see a next wave in personal computing, starting with a clean slate, building on the research, insights and learning from the mistakes that have been made. I have no doubt that it will happen, the question is only when.

As for interoperability: Even on the same platform there are countless problems getting software to talk to each other, so I don't think that a new system will make the situation any worse.

I seem to recall the Thai retirement visa has a minimum age limit on it.

Also, living in Thailand is only cheap if you live like the locals. Luxury cars are more expensive than the west due to high import taxes; “Average” locally built cars (eg a Toyota or Nissan) are pretty much the same price as in western countries.
western luxury foods are more expensive due to scarcity and the need to be imported.

Houses are only cheap if you accept local cheap standards. If you want a house built similar to western standards, it’s going to be expensive, and will likely still involve compromises.

And there are some things money can’t solve. Living in Thailand is very different to living in a western country, and thinking that money can solve any hardships is naïveté at its finest.

All modern software applications have an undo option. Windows Explorer has had a recycle bin since the '90s, the MacOS Finder has had a trash can since the '80s, and various Unix equivalents have the same. Those are interesting because they've had to put a lot of work into solving this seemingly simple problem.

I think file systems run into technical and psychological issues.

The major obvious technical issue is simply running out of space, and how you deal with that informs many other aspects of such a system. The other issue is how the user figures out what action they need to undo. High level applications have an integrated interface, so the user is directly issuing commands into the application's event loop, and the undo feature is also integrated into that event loop.

But you don't directly make calls to the filesystem; deletions or updates are always issued by a process acting on your behalf. Many processes are generating a ton of temporary data, so while these actions shouldn't be undoable, there's no general way for the filesystem to know this. A user attempting to undo an action would have to sift through a flood of irrelevant history.

The first psychological issue is the user's intent. Software applications tend to make this a two-step process: you make revocable changes, then when you hit "save" your actions become irrevocable. You move a file to the trash, and you can take it up, but when you empty trash it's irrevocable.

For a filesystem, again, because applications are acting on their behalf, this connection is largely lost. There's no clear "save point" where changes should be lost, so maybe you could add a "force" flag to make changes permanent. But if you start adding a "force" flag to actions, you'll change user behavior; if they have to force actions to make them permanent, they may start to do that routinely.

And there's a moral hazard produced by insuring that actions are revocable; if users get used to having an "undo," they will naturally begin to rely on it. If the system has to automatically make changes irrevocable (running low on disk space), then you'll get situations where users are screwed because they assumed they'd have undo to fall back on.

And, of course, users can be screwed when they thought they had deleted (or changed) something and it wasn't. This is already something forensics experts can do, but a generic undo feature lowers that bar to the nosey middle manager.
There is no such thing as progress, just shifting societal norms. This cannot be seen as “progress” except retrospectively.
Replying point by point:

(1) He does imply that in the script yes, in several ways. Pay close attention to moments like "like a good democracy should never have interference".

(2) The bit about YouTube hiding is good point taken, I didn't notice that, I thought it was just not showing up in recommended videos.

(3) He is also trying to create a buzz, the homeland security visit is not related to that video. My point is not that it is not worrisome, but that this is nothing new. The US is like this since the beginning. Have you ever seen what happens to journalists that crack open the NSA and CIA?

(4) And it does not imply that, but implies that YouTube is not a platform for free speech, as it has never been. No novelty here. Surprisingly if it was the TV times this wouldn't even go live, no it is going live. The system is changing little by little, but doesn't mean it is 100% free speech. Never was.

None of them do 8K raw though.
Fair point, was trying not to make it seem like I was hiding the original error, but your suggestion does that in a much clearer way. Thank you!
What does that mean to think in models?
My point is not that it clears all other organizations, but doesn't even mention one other. Which is an editorial choice.

edit: not only that, but also implies that the CIA actions are one-sided, as in other players were not trying to mess and do the same to harm the US in the same actions (let's say, Iran).

I think that you like to think you do and I will leave it at that.
You can download the installer from an Adobe server, and Adobe also provides the key to activate it, with no payment or authentication required. Nowhere does it say you need to have paid for it back when they sold it. In my opinion, this means they're officially giving it away for free. FWIW you could also consider it abandonware because, again, it's not sold any more so you can't pay for it even if you wanted to.
> He seems to conflate genius and elitist.

He probably conflates genius and "people who call themselves genius". Like, the kind of people who come introduced by someone in the management as "big experts", who insist that you rename all Java classes so that they start with "C", and all interfaces so that they end with "Intf", and after a few months when things get difficult they leave to join another project which will better appreciate their wisdom. Sorry, bad memories...
I love it when people come here and shit about old data sets or other bs. Gj op! Haters going to hate and makers going to make.

How much time do you think you would be willing to invest in a POC before getting your first customer?

Yesterday I was thinking about the idea of automatically rejecting projects when the time spent surpasses revenue/users by x.

Basically, if I can't prove that people want something after x hours of working on it, reject the work and move to the next project.

It seems like automated rejection points may prevent spending too much time solving problems nobody has or is willing to pay to solve.

Do you have an x in mind?

It's not normal, even if there is such a connection. If there is such, it's way more powerful if it's kept in secret. In which instance does the CIA benefit more? If people believe that GAFAM are a front of the CIA and thus enemies avoid GAFAM products? Or if enemies of the CIA use GAFAM products, believing that data collection is only done to improve ads?
Canon has the EOS C70 that is more or less what you called a mirrorless design. Its just recording 4k and has a smaller sensor.
So its not that canon isn't able to come up with a camera like the Alpha 7S series. And the Alpha 7s is also not able to record in 8k.
Checks out to me. The first one already exists while the second one is hilarious.
> I'm pretty sure Voltaire didn't say it in English, meaning the full quote above it like the one that parent comment said was like something Voltaire said - a translation of something that Voltaire actually said.

Dr Paul Gibbard, of the University of Western Australia, one of the world’s leading experts in Voltaire who worked as a researcher at the Voltaire Foundation in Oxford, disagrees with you and says that Voltaire never said anything like that, in English or what I presume could also be French. Source for that: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2015/nov/27/cory-...

And I never meant to say that the quote is good/bad/wrong/correct, simply that it was mis-attributed to Voltaire, when in reality doesn't seem to come from him.
Yeah, I did not mean that it's being shadowbanned because of it, but his criticism (to YouTube) are biased by definition.

"In my experience", followed by "for your information" - what an empty comment. You've not breathed any substance into your opinion with this post.
A friend of mine has similar issue and solved that by running Linux in a Virtualbox (and doing most work there).
It doesn't, but it also means the author has a bias against YouTube to promote the other platform.
right, which means that Voltaire's quip, although clever as everything he said, did not happen to actually cover all the possibilities of censorship in every possible society.

In his time, certainly, the people you couldn't criticize were the rulers, in our time there is a wider range of people you can't criticize.

Hadn't really crossed my mind that the vmware vm might be more performant than the one baked into windows by MS. That's a bit embarassing, isn't it? :P

Ever since I realized I was fighting a system I have no intention of mastering anymore (my brain cycles are too dear to me for that) I stopped engaging and just accepted it as the nuisance it is.

But "just use vmware" seems like an easy enough fix that I might actually go down that route from now on, thanks!

The DHS was established in the panic following 9/11. If they're knocking on doors trying to intimidate dissidents, it seems clear that it has outlived its usefulness (if it ever had any) and should be dismantled.

Not my point, my point is that because he has other sponsors that heads-on compete with Youtube, his views about YouTube are not unbiased. He gains something when he promotes Nebula, in hopes to gain even more than what he makes on YouTube.

Now about the promoting, it is my bad, I thought that YouTube wasn't showing it in frontpage, not that it was literally removed from search. I tried searching for the video and it indeed doesn't show in the results. That's a negative point for YouTube.
Depends on the definition of quite often, but I very much agree with the middle part of your sentence.

"Matt also believes that Canon could have designed the camera to dump the heat toward the bottom of the camera and then sold a separate base attachment for videographers that provides vastly extended recording times."

Seriously, this. I wonder if they could make the area around threaded screw on the bottom for attaching to tripods a heat spreader. These are usually made out of metal already, and have to be structurally sound for the camera to be attached there. If the attached base was a block of aluminum or copper, it could probably suck the heat out of there.
I'd be careful with this one. Nobody really knows.

It may seem overvalued now, but will it still be considered overvalued if another variable changes, say inflation catches up with the monetary policy actions.

Highly recommend this course. Good coverage of topics and the explanations help build intuition.
Ive used dex on my note 5. It works very well. One annoyance though is the connection/disconnection process should be more streamlined. When I leave my desk to wander around im always taking my phone with me but of course I would leave my laptop behind if I was using that instead. With my phone it was very annoying to disconnect, close things on my phone so it isnt eating battery, just to come back and have everything be out of wack.
You mean harassment like calling them, "Russian agents" (soon to be "Chinese agents" as our geopolitical focus shifts)? Or harassing them by having their websites deranked and hidden on Google, like what happened to WSWS (among many other "dissident" sites)? Or simply disappearing them on Facebook and Twitter with unexplained and unappealable shadowbans and account suspensions? Do you think the widespread establishment push for censorship because of "disinformation" is coming out of the deep concern for people who are being misled? Its about tightening the screws of narrative control, which used to be near absolute when 99%+ of Americans got all of their information from the 3 major networks and was lost with the uncontrolled spread of information on the internet and social networks. The powers-that-be want that narrative control back and they will stop at nothing to get it.

Is there any syscall to do the equivalent but from C?

e.g. If you were pre-allocating hash tables for a caching service, it would be convenient if the config could stipulate 80% of the system memory instead of the user having to specify the exact amount.
