YouTube can choose to keep or delete any content on their platform regardless of truth/free speech/or not. It's in the EULA. You want free speech, go outside and yell. No one is stopping anyone from free speech. What Google is doing is cleaning up content on their service according to their EULA. If you disagree with the EULA, you can gladly go use another service.

I will add, targeting a specific genre of videos looks bad, sure. It's only that we are talking about that genre and not all the others of topics YouTube has removed.
It was shaping up to be a interesting article about the failure of Facebook bots to detect the nuanced meaning of a post but was then subsequently ruined by a rant about some people not deserving protections against hate speech.

The author specifically states their belief that "white cishet men" cannot be the subject of racism and sexism then goes on to assert "the dominant class with the power is frankly 100% deserving of a little “punching up”. They then complain that Facebook bots have apparently banned them for offering these or similar views on the platform.

Of course, the irony here is that the poster wants to simultaneously be protected from harassment yet have the freedom to harass those who in their mind "deserve it".

Every harasser believes their victims deserve it.
So if there's something always running .... isn't the same as having on always on server (with auto scaling of some sort)?

"Californication" (yes, as referred to in the Red Hot Chili Peppers song) has been a thing for almost a century now. Oregon literally tried to ban immigrants from California back in the 1940s, and Coloradoans have a notorious saying from the 60s "Don't Californicate Colorado" (it used to be a pretty common bumper sticker) due to this effect.

Go to Wyoming or Idaho and people feel the same way. California has unfortunately been exporting its ridiculous cost of living and lifestyle to the American west for decades, Austin is just the latest to feel it.

Somewhat related, Austinites used to also have a fairly common saying "Don't Dallas my Austin" (also related: "Keep Austin Weird"), referring to wanting to keep the "corporate" feel of Dallas out of Austin. The ship's sailed on that one too, though.
If you believe in science you are likely a neo-religious fundamentalist. Science doesn't need to be believed. The process puts forward propositions. You either think the scientific method has purpose and helps us understand our reality or not.
Do these vaccines prevent a person from spreading the virus? I've heard a number of times that these will prevent the person who got the vaccine from getting sick, but that it won't prevent them from spreading the disease. If that is the case then I could understand why a young healthy person would not want the vaccine as the risk to them from covid is extremely low.
This thing isn't meant to pull your 8-bottom plow attachment. It isn't the tractor a large-scale wheat or corn farmer is going to use to work the fields. Those tractors generate hundreds of horsepower and cost $250k.

But there is plenty of market for a small utility tractor, and the people using those aren't all hobby farmers. You don't use your massive 500 hp John Deere 9630 to stack hay bales or cultivate your row crops or power your auger or post driver.

Even if you have a 500 hp monster you'll still want a utility tractor. Right tool for the right job.
> Participants were 249 Jewish-Israelis

You've got to be kidding me. How can anything possibly be concluded from such a uniform set of participants?

If nothing else I would have suggested that they throw a couple of Palestinians in there. See if people who have experienced real victimhood are more likely to perceive it when it doesn't exist.
10 years ago or so I started a job at a big corp. and I felt the same after 6 months, I stayed 23 months in total and I said I would never go back unless I had complete "creative" control over my career. I haven't ever been tempted to go back, but those terms still remain if I ever get a call from someone from bigcorp.
Wouldn't this just translate into higher interest rates, to make the supply of debt financially worthwhile for the lender?

We can see this market mechanism play out in the corporate lending market where companies with high credit risk must pay double or more interest rates. A debt jubilee would simply raise the default risk on all of society and thus increase rates to compensate.
Does this apply to Firebase functions as well?

Sometimes I wonder if flat earthers are fake news themselves.

You can stand on the shore of a body of water larger than 3 miles and watch boats sail over the horizon. No need for tools, geometry, or privilege, you can stand there and see it.

And even if they are real, their numbers are small even with the amount of propaganda they create.
Yes and no. For increasing density of existing areas, yes, that's basically a universal in the US, not a Republican-vs-Democrat thing, but in Texas cities you can (and do) keep going outward, so you can (and do) keep building single-family-homes. Can't do that within commuting distance of SF anymore.
I think my point was that before we judge if almonds use too much water, we have to ask what we use almonds for and how they compare to similar products.

IF we use almonds for food, I think it is reasonable to compare almonds to other foods, and ask how much water they use. As such, I used numbers for edible table grapes.

IF the end goal is to to change state policy to make water use more efficient, I think we need to answer the question of why some foods are allowed to use more water than others.
My assumption is that it follows general post guidelines:

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Not 'I suppose', it's literally a store. It has its own payment processing, inventory, storefront, brands, etc.
The statement that I quoted is false. The Amazon App Store can do those things on Amazon devices. The Samsung App Store can do those things on Samsung devices. Same with Tencent, Huawei, MIUI, the defunct Motorola app store, etc.

I fully agree that it would be better if user-installed apps could do the same thing without resorting to accessibility hacks. Google has mumbled that it might finally prioritize that feature after the Epic lawsuits, but I'll wait and see. https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/09/listening-...
Texas seems intent on grabbing all the deadwood valley companies. What's next ? I predict Cisco. Meanwhile, SF just had two IPOs worth $200bn
That’s only a concern if the Republican Party makes no gains elsewhere, and Florida is looking less purple and more red these days, and the “blue wall” is looking a bit more purple.
> It's also possible to understand why Macbook batteries are not easily replaceable - they occupy most of the internal space and are rather fragile.

I would guess that the batteries on the AirPods Max are not user-replaceable for the same reason. We'll know more once the iFixit teardown is out.

But stepping back: it seems that the parts most susceptible to long-term wear are replaceable. That is the ear cups (user-replaceable) and batteries. Hopefully the headstrap is more durable than it looks.
So your conspiracy theory is someone sent the message and spoofed Jone’s IP address in order to frame her? Give me a break.

In any case, the right response is to serve a warrant and check her devices to see if there’s substantiating evidence.

You should be ashamed of trying to shame people into taking a new and still widely untested treatment.

I've had Covid and we STILL don't even know if that makes a person immune. Has there ever been a case where a vaccine is MORE effective than actually getting and recovering from a virus?

Seems like the latter would be "better" so why would I get a vaccine for something I am immune to?
Why would getting the vaccine increase your risk at all?
Well, the bigger issue is that a lot of folks like to write grants to serve Native Americans and then get the money and don't provide the service, or, and this is a personal favorite, don't ask the reservation if they even need the service. Special awards to those who not only got money granted to provide and unneeded service, but by virtue of their applying to serve the reservation, got the legitimate reservation organization's grant blocked and unfunded.

It is actually illegal, as in there is a tribal resolution, for me to provide any demographic information to any entity without tribal permission.

The worst part is those folks who say they are Native American from a particular tribe and are NOT on that tribes enrollment rolls. They are always fun to deal with.
I'm with you on this, and it's part of why I'm still running Sierra on my Mac. Ironically, I think the easiest way to run classic Mac games like EV Nova is on Windows (your old license key should work if you rollback the clock on your computer, and there's cracked versions floating around too)
Which is why people work in shifts. Tractors/combines regularly work 24/7 during harvest.
If the typical person leaving California for Texas is doing so explicitly for the lower cost of living and lower tax burden, why would they vote for policies that go against that goal?

You could argue that it's the longtime locals in the Bay Area, those who bought homes cheaply in the 60s/70s, that are usually the NIMBYs voting for the policies that caused the current state of things.

Those same people are the least likely to be the ones leaving for Texas.
I'm not sure what you're saying. Do you think those things make Austin immune to any problems that could be caused by increased income inequality?
How does a state export a cost of living? Or are you referring to price increases due to increase in demand? If so, that does not seem like a notable phenomenon.
> First is nice when I get upgraded, but I'd rather take say Qatar Business than BA first.

Yes: for some reason I missed "first".

The upgrade to at least business is probably worth it (budget permitting) for flights ≥8 hours, but going to first is probably diminishing returns.
I think ideally all pm would be controlled by the runtime_pm and qos frameworks. You then don't need to define explicit power states like 'sleep' or 'suspend', you instead simply use what you need for a given performance spec and naturally use a minimum of power. I think that is the ultimate plan
Just because it's legal doesn't mean it makes sense. Monarchs used to make the same argument defending what they did.
I loved Ares! So good in every way.

This game actually helped kickstart my foray into digital music recording, because I loved the music from Ares and wanted to extract the music files from the game so I could listen to them. Turned out the songs were stored as "MADH" resources and I saved them out to individual files -- and it turns out these MADH files were a "tracker music" format created by and playable with the software "PlayerPRO". Thus all the first songs I ever created on the computer sounded a lot like Ares' music because I ripped all my samples from the game's songs! hahah :) Wasn't long before I realized I can use any audio file though, and recorded all kinds of stuff to create new sounds with.

Either way, I forever can credit Nathan Lamont and Ares for being the reason I discovered the world of computer-made music. (yes, I still remember his name today lol)
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.

So what is un-american thinking that Youtube needs to allow conspiracies and crazy un-proven, and way out there content.
Fine, time for some trustbusting.
The fact they don't have spatial audio with the latest Apple TV highlights the problem Apple has without Steve: product consistency.

This is not the only example: bought a 2020 Macbook Pro, an external Magic keyboard and trackpad and couldn't even connect them because they came with USB-A cables. We had to wait until iPhone 12 (correct me if wrong) to get a phone that charges on the same manufacturer's laptop. It is a mess.

> Maybe when developer productivity measurment becomes standard accross the industry...

I suggest you look to database models/schemas standardization for an indication of how close this is coming to fruition. I personally can't measure developer productivity at a fine-grained level until requirements are stabilized, and I personally cannot stabilize requirements unless the domain is so well known the data store is standardized. I had hoped SAP would lead the charge through empirically iterating towards standards, but they left out the huge small and mid-size business markets with what they use today. And what they use today is still far from industries' standards.

We're no closer to standardization than when I started in software decades ago. We don't even have standard means of storing, transforming, displaying and tracking metadata upon calendars, addresses, phone numbers, names, and lots of other ephemera I can rattle off, within a single stakeholder industry, not to speak of within the software industry in general. There have certainly been efforts to standardize like Silverston's, but they haven't caught traction.

I'd sure like to see that happen, because it would short-circuit a lot of the discussions I engage with stakeholders to only the site-specific requirements, where I really add business value. Instead, I have to derive the data model from intricate discussion of their requirements, since they themselves have not agreed upon the parts that are common across their respective industries, so I end up at the start of dicussions with all sorts of little twisty pieces of a data model, all alike.
Humans love to tar and feather their “saviors” at time. At least he was acknowledged and exonerated for his contributions while alive.
> Will developers working remotely for SV companies from LCOL areas be compensated the same as those in SV?

Some will, some won't! Truth is, those who decide to offer compensation based on value added instead of a magic HR approved formula will get interest from everyone else. I expect some companies to use this CoL-based compensation as a way to let go underperformers and others to attract talent that was previously unavailable.

> Will smaller firms elsewhere have to raise salaries to compete with locals taking non-regional salaries?

They'll have to.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'm always game for a good read. What is favorite thing about this book in particular?

The linked article is about a psychology result, not a survey of social factors. Maybe it would be more productive to argue for or against the science than invent yet another battlefield on which to fight the culture war?
It's almost like the cost of living is driven by MONEY, and problems result from income inequality, more than left-vs-right policies - and if the Californians getting priced-out of CA still have more money than where they're moving, then it cascades.

When a browser has under X% market share, you can make a credible argument about why you can ignore it. That is happening right now. If developers could use it on their devices, they would be less likely to ignore it.

It's just a very strange argument for justifying Apple abusing its users for search engine revenue.
I’ve got a pair of XM3s that I’ve used daily for a bit over 2 years now. And I don’t plan on buying the Airpods Max yet.

XM3s hardware build quality is excellent. The biggest problem with XM3s is the crappy software. The iOS app that demands always on background location access. Although I’d learnt soon enough that it’s perfectly usable without the app.

This is where Apple really shines, in the integrated hardware and software experience. The multi device pairing support on Bose headsets is slightly better than on Sony headsets, although both done even come close to how well AirPods do it on Apple devices.
I've had Covid-19. As far as I know we still don't know if having it leads to immunity but wouldn't having it and recovering be "better" than a vaccine?

If so, why get a vaccine for something you are immune to?
These types of articles are always insane to me. YouTube is a private company. They're pretty much allowed to moderate the content on their platform in an arbitrary way. I would argue that this is a good thing.

We can't have it both ways, but we want it both ways. We want a non-government controlled way to communicate, but we want to mandate that they're liable to uphold the same First Amendment protections that the government has to provide. That's insane, that's not a good standard to pursue, and we should rather focus on the cost-benefit and pros and cons of either reinstating the Fairness Doctrine or creating a government-run social media website where information can be freely shared and subjected uniformly to First Amendment protections.
We in fact already do that and nobody bats an eye.

People are not intimate with the details of most government bureaucracies, they are not expected to be, and they're no expected to grasp such details in a way that they can make informed decisions.

And frankly that is absolutely correct. We believe in democracy to be the best system despite its flaws, and one of its flaws is that it's evident that most people have no freaking clue about how government works.

If you believe in speech for the purpose of government then you have to reject outright lies design with the intent of deligitimizing democracy.
Spreading these lies about voting is much worse and more dangerous than the classic example of yelling FIRE in a crowded theater.

YouTube has every right, and a deep responsibility to cut this kind of bullshit off at every turn.
That is supported in Testim Root Cause - actually a PR we got a bit back from an unrelated user :]
23 minutes. The police showed overwhelming restraint in not breaking the door down. Whatever she was doing, she could have been trying to destroy evidence the entire time. The police serving a warrant aren’t supposed to wait outside for half an hour for you to answer the door.
> Do you think it is the responsibility of academia to teach "industry relevant stuff"?

I mean, there are colleges that cater specifically to industry. Digipen is a good example of this: they have very close relationships with game studios and shoehorn their curriculum into the requirements the state imposes on colleges.

These sorts of colleges are not particularly popular, however, so I think most prospective students understand the value of a more broad and timeless approach to software education.

The Maghreb followed Abrahamic religion for 1600 years, more or less, actually. The god we prayed to didn't change from Rome, the Vandals, Byzantium, Arabs, and Turks.

The language didn't change either. Most people spoke Berber languages for 2000 years. Even now there are towns where you can't get by with Arabic well.

People of the Maghreb were not second class citizens under Rome. Neither were they under the millenia+ in some places of self-rule.

It's fine if you don't know the difference between pre-modern invasions and colonization, and it's fine if you don't really understand the history of the region, but by god don't use that to justify imperialism which killed tens of millions of people.

In any case, ask yourself this. Why is it that two Africans became emperors of Rome, but that Africans never led modern European powers, nor were even allowed to vote? Ask yourself that, and you will understand the distinction between the two.

Not only that, but almost half of the Maghreb was never even invaded by the Ottomans, and even then it was De Jure, and not De Facto, mostly. Same for the Vandals and the Byzantines.

So no, your analysis is incorrect. Additionally, it's very well known that pre-modern war was much less bloody.

> These differences are not due to governments deciding that tear gas is not a chemical weapon or that hollow point bullets are not hollow point bullets, but rather because the laws of war apply in war and not elsewhere.

This is a distinction without a difference. The fact that the media routinely reports things like “cops dispersed protestors using tear gas” and not “attacked them with chemical weapons“ demonstrates that this is also just ideological sophistry by those using the weapons.
This won't last much longer for the SF Bay Area. The climate has changed already and average temperatures are rising. The place where I live used to be foggy. It hasn't been like that for over 7 years now. It's much worse in the southern part of the Bay Area. Air conditioning is starting to be requirement.
I wonder if this would massively increase conspicuous and frivolous consumption. Some may go the direction of Bill Gates, but others may not be so benevolent. At least when wealth is conserved in the family unit it's mostly passively invested in the economy as capital supply.

This issue is not this set of clearly poor players - it's the groups on both sides watching and learning that are going to be much more professional about their efforts to gain power with any means necessary. This is the trial run set up, so the limits and weaknesses of our systems can be evaluated. The fact that this set of not even remotely qualified actors are occupying the White House shows how weak the controls have been. And these players have spent their time in power layering the judicial bureaucracy with their sycophants. No, there is reason to be concerned, very good reasons.
