>Because they are finally learning that existing on someone else's platform sucks. Much better to get your own domain [...]

A lot of people already know they're the less powerful economic actor on Youtube platform. Regardless, people upload videos to Youtube instead of their own domain because of tradeoffs.

For unknown creators with no audience, Youtube doesn't suck (in comparison to hosting videos on personal domain) because:

(1) you don't have the money to pay for variable hosting bandwidth costs

(2) you don't have any business relationships with advertisers to monetize which helps with (1)

(3) you have no network effect platform recommending your videos (e.g. repair smartphones and drones) to audiences of like-minded channels such as Linus Tech Tips -- which helps with (2)

There is a timeline that creators can't avoid to build financial/platform independence and leverage. Today, Linus can realistically host videos on his Floatplane alternative because he already used Youtube to build his 13 million subscribers. He also already built his own advertiser relationships to embed native ads with him as spokesperson outside of Youtube pre-roll and mid-rolls. In contrast, it's quite a different challenge for him to start in 2008 with his own Floatplane.com domain and build an audience of 13 million outside of Youtube.
Mito is not currently open source, although it is available through PyPI. You can follow our installation instructions https://docs.trymito.io/getting-started/installing-mito to get setup locally.

Or if you don't have Jupyter already set up on your computer, we have a hosted version of Jupyter Lab that you can make an account on.
Was expecting that as well haha
Honestly I find them sometimes not promoting it enough.

Granted, they probably shouldn't give it any favoritism... but often I'll google for a video clip and have to refine search to just show me youtube results as i don't want to deal with some beast of another site.
yeah, like so many ISVs build their software on top of Windows and slowly losing market share when Microsoft decided to get into their space like the Office suite.

i remember using Lotus 123 on my dad's laptop. Lotus was the king at the time and Microsoft kill them slowly. if i'm not mistaking Microsoft with hold Win32 api or something that make Microsoft's own Office software run faster.
If you're wondering how to get some adoption without having a killer app written in your language - in this case Zig, there is a second way:

Take programs in an already popular language and transpile the code to your language.

One of my projects py2many is exactly that. It supports 6 languages now for a small set of features. Would love to review patches if someone submitted a Zig backend.
So? How does any of that prove Switzerland is xenophobic?
RSS stands for really simple syndication, so yes, sarcasm
Why is it worth 270k? It could also be worthless. It could be worth a little.
RSS is not necessarily a thing of the past. Have you checked out solutions such as Inoreader?
The point isn't that every banning of a style of building is xenophobia, but that in this particular instance it is.

Making 'can't build minarets' part of your constitution isn't some local law building code thing; it's motivated by xenophobia.
Yea, I was reading lean startup and it goes on about how just because the revenue and profits are going up doesn't mean you're doing well. It considered success as growth by other metrics.

Suttons Law applies 'because that's where the money (ie audience) is'.

We can very well have laws that restrict what ID can be required for - so it would be illegal to ask for ID for certain things (you shouldn't be required to present your ID to buy groceries for example).

But for things where requiring an ID is already accepted (banking, etc) or inherently necessary (interacting with the government, like filing taxes), a robust, digital ID system would be much better than a paper-based system vulnerable to fraud and human error.
That's a common misconception, but it is entirely a function of the political passions of the observer, leading to false feelings of generality. Observers with opposite passions see precisely the opposite—and I do mean precisely.

The equity piece is the key. If you sold for a lump sum you're all out and happy. But I imagine if you sell for a monthly payment, you're still emotionally attached.

Would suck to check on how the business is going and regret your decision to sell for a monthly payment with no equity.
Google is censoring it as well.
Seeing how many channels are randomly getting nuked by false copyright strikes, shadowbans, account termations, it makes sense that they want to move off YouTube. However as a consumer, there's just so many services/websites competing for my limited attention that if they're completely off YouTube, I doubt I'd ever watch them again -- especially if there's a paywall -- I'd just watch someone else the YT algorithm recommends.
Your comment for some reason reminds me of the early days of the Internet. Personal websites were a given there was a major urge to have your own website. Whether you had your own domain name or a Geocities type of page you just had to have one.

On dialup people tended to be more independent you jumped on the Internet then jumped off to preserve your precious 60 hours/month (and to allow your landline phone to get calls). That time offline was used learning about things and you couldn't Google every little thing.

I was much more into the fundamentals of the computer itself more than the stuff you could see on it. Making boot disks, adjusting settings in Windows, discovering Linux, learning HTML, sending lots of email, some IRC. The Internet grew in complexity and usefulness, and always on cable got cheaper but early on the computer itself was my main focus.

Now it seems as if a computer is simply a conduit to watch YouTube videos. It seems like people are realizing they need to be more independent.
Very unlikely. There would usually be a description of such thing but not one,easy to use word describing it.
because of the certificate inside, the id card without the pin is worthless; having the identity split from authorization is an absolute win. compare and contrast with the SSN number.

also, the government already owns all my data, from birth onward. the authentication system makes it so forgery is much harder from the officials themselves, so this protects me from that as well.
Because the presumption is that the women in question are being forced to do this and don't want to.

But your solution is to implement a law which punishes the victim, rather then doing anything about their presumed victimizer.

If the women who didn't want to wear the covering didn't want to wear it, what is stopping them from simply not doing it to start with? The answer of course is husband's, brothers, family etc. and probably that they'd be recognized in their community.

But this is someone's religion - a fair bit more important to them then the laws of the state in a lot of cases. So you haven't answered how you're going to protect those women from being targeted and forced to simply never leave the house, if they are being targeted by people who are forcing them to do something they don't want to.

Your law offers no solution to this - and again - implements itself by targeting the apparent victims it proposes to protect with punishment.

Setting aside that the government can stay the hell out of what I choose to wear, this is just a monumentally stupid approach to anything.
Reminds me of the story about the Yale donor who wanted a cathedral, but Yale wanted a gym, so they built a gym that looked like a cathedral. https://www.gpsmycity.com/attractions/payne-whitney-gymnasiu...
Definitely. One of my modest proposals that will never happen is that colleges go back to teaching, and football and basketball become more like baseball, where they have minor leagues as a way of getting players. The jumbling together of college and professional-in-all-but-name athletics is absurd, and egregious exploitation of "student" athletes to boot.

I’ve traveled extensively in the US since the 70s, and with my wife throughout Western Europe between 1999 and 2006, and back in the US since 2006.

During that time, I found no such public restroom facilities in the US. Paid facilities at gas stations, fast food places, restaurants, and various other businesses, yes. But one way or the other, you always paid for those.

I did see a little bit of public restroom facilities in Europe, and they were okay for what you paid for them. But the paid facilities, especially in France and Belgium near the highways, could be little more than holes in the ground with places to put your feet on the sides. We quickly learned to spot trustworthy businesses like McDonalds and other US companies that would have better paid facilities.

Hotels, conference centers, and the like had better paid restroom facilities than any other places I’ve ever seen before or since, but even movie theaters had Madame Pissoir at the door who could be quite rude and offensive if you were in dire need and would be happy to pay once you were done, but you couldn’t wait.

Even here in the US, we continued to carefully look for McDonalds or Starbucks as a sign that here would be good restroom facilities, and that we would be happy to purchase something there so that we could use their restrooms. At least they were never as rude and offensive as Madame Pissoir.

What do you mean?

vNM doesn’t assume any particular probability distribution (or any particular utility function).

But it does assume the existence of a probability distribution (and a utility function).

Yes there is. If it is decentralized (properly), you can't be canceled or locked out of your account, you can trade your good at any time.
Once my SO started teaching in black neighborhoods I finally saw the systemic racism beyond the usual poverty issues common to all races. It's the subconscious racism in the culture that treats those with darker skin as different, often bucketed by negative stereotypes. Those kids faced it everyday and everywhere they lived, studied, worked. And their interconnected family-first culture was sometimes both a blessing and a curse, depending on ones birth lottery. This was different than the experience of the latinos and poor whites I have known.

Human nature is tribal, and we can't know large numbers of people very well. That leads to mental shortcuts that don't work as well in our interconnected, multicultural societies. And many poor cultures are seen as havinh "pulled themselves up by their bootstraps" in the US. Never mind that their light skin meant they could blend in by just dropping an accent and changing clothes.

Regardless, by working closely together and keeping an open mind we can overcome unintentional assumptions.
It's a matter of principle
> Before Deliveroo (and similar) services many local restaurants could only be reached by actually visiting them and eating them.

The counterpoint to this is that one of the more profitable parts of Deliveroo's business is to do away with these local restaurants entirely in favour of ghost kitchens (which Deliver refers to as "Deliveroo Editions").

So Deliveroo enters a marketplace, sees which local restaurants are doing a brisk trade, and brings in a ghost kitchen that they own and operate (with the higher margins that cutting out an additional party entails).

And to the end user - yourself - this can be very hard to determine, and you can believe yourself to be supporting a local eatery when in fact you're not. In some regards this is not dissimilar to Amazon's approach (find out what third party products are selling well, release their own version and undercut).
It didn't have such an issue.

8chan being dropped showed well how cancel culture works, and how in the court of public opinion one is found guilty not on evidence, but on sensationalist news articles that outright lie, sitting free from the pains of perjury and cross-examination.

I have not once in my life seen this child pornography or far-right content on 8chan that these news articles claimed infested it; one would have to be very lucky for the former to see it before a moderator removed it, and for the latter one would have to specifically browse niche boards that have very little activity compared to the big boards, which are simply about video games, lolcat image macros, and dating advice.

Have you ever seen child pornography on 8chan or 4chan? have you ever browsed them?
Economists have been using ensemble average where they should of being using time average.

Using the wrong type of average mildly screws up everything in very subtle ways as you can imagine.

A lot of the important results in the field including one that got a nobel prize turn out to be wrong.

The economists are responding to this in a very mature way and have told Ole Peters "he can go kick a rock".
> The Qubes people don't recommend doing GPU passthrough because of the security implications.

Why? DMA?
> Passports already have an x509 certificate in them saying, "we are the government, and this is Jeff"

No they don't but I can see why you might think that.

ePassports (the ones with the stylised "chip" image on the cover) do have X.509 certificates baked into them. And ePassports do say "We are the government, and this is Jeff" (if you are Jeff) but that's not what the X.509 certificate says.

Each X.509 certificate is one of a relatively small number minted by your government which says "We are the government of country X and this is a public document signing key".

Then the passports all contain raw data (such as a photograph and summary information about their subject) with this certificate and a signature over the raw passport data that can be authenticated with the public signing key.

So there's an X.509 certificate but it isn't for Jeff, and there's data about Jeff, but it isn't in an X.509 certificate.

I'm going to need you to think very carefully about how much you trust the government to protect the public interest when it comes to dictating how a media platform operates.

The government is unlikely to be able to dictate algorithm changes, but reacting to and forcing favorable behaviors to the current regime to be preserved is certainly within their power.

Yes, of course, each of those countries is internally very diverse, and in relation to the others.

Each of those countries was made by a mix of native, European, African and Asian peoples of different kinds, in different proportions, at different times. Europe is made of just Europeans, and immigration is a very recent thing.
Yep, if a felony wasn't violent, or perhaps not even gun-related, I don't see why felons shouldn't be able to own guns.

(I mean, I'm generally against the level of private gun ownership we have in the US, but given 2A, it seems like a violation to deny anyone their constitutional rights based on a broad label like "felon".)

In response to your points:

1. Which white people are you referring to that don’t have a hand in colonialism? You think it’s too fuzzy? Who specifically is unjustly included in that term?

2. How the current elites got there is very relevant for why institutions are the way they are.

3. Frame is: the world. More specifically the English, French, German, Dutch, Danish, Spanish, Italian, Belgium, Russian empires that colonised the world, and invented the idea of “white supremacy” (named by them!) and only recently (last 50-60 years) been removed as an “official hurdle” to non white races. Civil rights act (because people of colour were not considered “a man” under the constitution) in the US, the abolition of “White Australia Policy” (Of note given Australia was a black nation in near Asia), end of Apartheid in South Africa . But that was official definitions, not cultural which still linger today, as can be seen in the economic disparity between “whites” and everyone else in post colonial nations unless they’ve worked super hard to undo it...

"It doesn't matter what gets built, just that it gets built and that everyone gets a place to live in"

This makes no sense.

? People who live in SF (or any community) are already housed in SF. 'Everyone' already has a place to live.

Unless by 'everyone' you mean 'everyone who wants to live there', which is absurd, because if cost were not part of the equation probably 50x the number of people in SF would not mind being there.

That's why we have suppl and demand.

"why would we tell people that they shouldn't come here? "

This is really baffling. You do realize that if SF when from 600K people to 5M people (vertical, like HK or Vancouver) that it would be a completely different kind of city, and wouldn't resemble the current SF in any way?

Nobody has a right to live anywhere.

Every community has a right to influence the future of their own community.

If SF residents want to 'go vertical' that's fine, if they don't that's fine as well.

"Pretty much everyone I have heard talk about Vancouer is that Vancouver failed to build enough housing."

'Hearsay' (i.e. some random people said some stuff about an issue) does not help your argument.

The facts are 1) Vancouver built out massively. You can see the city skyline has been totally transformed and 2) it's still completely unnafordable.

Why is it unnafordable? Because of demand from foreign places and ultra low interest rates. Local salaries are not enough to supply that kind of demand. A lot of people moving in from foreign places (or just buying). For a variety of reasons.

As a 'global safe zone' the demand is massive, far more so than the locals can endure.

In this specific case, the problem is not 'build more' - the problem is 'don't allow foreign ownership', 'get interest rates under control' and 'reduce migration to normal levels' (Canada always has higher than normal migration, that's fine, but the amounts set lately are massive and most migrants prefer cities, putting additional pressures).

Is this really a good idea considering the security issues with Wayland?[1]

It was both an unsafe airplane and pilots were not made aware of how everything worked.

A human pilot properly informed in advance could paper over an act of sabotage by a flight control system, but that does not make the airplane safe.

A single sensor reporting bogus data was used by a system to automatically take dangerous action. Both are dangerous. But in particular the latter, because it permits an excessive reaction to what is supposed to be merely stall avoidance, not recovery. Even stall recovery does not require anywhere near the kind of nose down amount MCAS was permitted to induce. That behavior is sabotage. If a human pilot did the same thing, with the same available bogus information, it would be incompetency. And if it lead to death, it would be manslaughter.
I believe "Mobile IP" was designed to solve this exact problem.

This assumes that the nonprofit has the same goals as the donor so it’s not always true. Maybe that would be covered by the umbrella organization bit, but sometimes there’s no organization that cares so donors need to leverage existing ones to fund what they want.
