>it seems this strategy has led to enormous divisions

It's not mask mandates that did that. It is the toxic, divisive and largely unregulated media that has been lying to people for the last 30 years.

People have been brainwashed. They no longer have the capability of trusting in or believing reality.
Will this submission be flagged as the others that are supporting RMS?
I'd argue that HN got better after they hid the karma (net of 1 + up - down) on a per-comment basis (even though I was initially opposed to the change at the time).

They can still use like/dislike metrics to decide which videos to offer you and in what sort order, so there's still some signal available.
Just to play along here....how do you propose that they check whether the cold water removes bacteria more effectively?
Ask HN: Is there any course planner website?
I love goodreads.com for books
I love myshows.me for tv series
I love kinopoisk.ru for movies

I don't have the right website for games and that is more important for online courses... for the last one I use google spreadsheet now.
Prometheus Fuels looks cool, but (yeah, standard HN comment) their website is janky on firefox.

Fusion + Syn Fuel is definitely in the playbook to reverse climate change.
It's because of Ghostbusters (2016). It just took this long for everyone else to catch up and realize that, "it can happen to you".

We were all supposed to love that movie because it has four women in it! Turns out a shit movie is a shit movie no matter how many SNL alums you throw at it.

Well, yeah, Trump did an amazing job of lowering the bar.
If avatars - which, given the context, could be missed by users - were not added because of moderation/abuse concerns, you could utilize a service like gravatar.
There's entirely too much good stuff on YouTube to ignore. I learn so much there, all for free.
They kinda already did though. You don’t see likes/dislikes when you search for a video so you only use it’s popularity in order to decide to click on it.
You're right. I just expected a larger dent in price but you're right, MS is too massive. I should have said it barely budged instead. What's $21.9B among titans anyway?
Harry Reid? I am not old enough to know what happened there.
It's weird, because they actually have a "Not interested" option in the dropdown menu when you're browsing, but there's no way to click it for a video you're actually watching.
I've never used salt myself so couldn't tell you. From a skim, it looks like they don't have module instantiation? Depending on what you're doing that could be a limitation.
Yep, the usual coding tools aren't ideal for bioinformatics. We have our own set of tools that work well with the various "standard" formats for sequence data.
Though of course, https://i.redd.it/zcavazlx5sm51.jpg applies to that :)
yawn. stop wasting electrons with your posts.
congrats on the raise!
That's the opposite change. HN hid likes, while keeping the dislikes visible.

Pointers don't normally compare equal to the thing they're pointing to.

If it's acting as a proxy it's confusing the specific way that some things get proxied and other things don't.
Though 96% ethanol via cheap distillation is fine for hand sanitizer, so the only real explanation is they're leveraging existing supply chains (as described) or have made a mistake.
It seems to me the platforms that have the most trouble maintaining a grasp on reality are the ones that don’t allow down votes. Down votes are the cognitive immune system at work. Not that down votes are necessarily correct, but rather they provide increased resistance to propagation. Also you can hardly fix a problem by blinding yourself to it.

Usually it is storage systems like this.
There was no need to use the yellow tracking dots to track Reality Winner... the NSA would certainly have the ability to audit anything printed in their facility and know exactly what was printed on any given day.
I agree that removing public dislikes is a pretty bad idea, but it's not that important of a tool in fighting misleading videos. I mean, there was once a HUGE glut of videos with misleading thumbnails/titles, and what stopped the glut was not dislikes, but rather Youtube's use of watch time as an important metric.
By games do they mean gambling games or literally random videogames like StarCraft? And if so why is this something the police are involved in? What laws were even broken?
HN still fades text if a comment is below a certain threshold.
Smells political alright.

The Biden admin disabled comments on all official The White House channel videos pretty quickly into their administration.

Most videos have a tremendously high dislike to like ratio, the most recent is 3.4K dislikes to 205 likes. I don't know who they expect to consume their Youtube content but it apparently isn't the establishment's voter base.

This is another brick in the wall that is Youtube that just fell out if you ask me. Content creators of all stripes are absolutely desperate for an alternative platform.
Nah, I’m much more hopeful of a good old fashion international treaties, perhaps a UN issued mandate, and perhaps an ISO standard to save the day. That’s really what happened when they standardized containers (and to a greater extent international mail delivery in 1874). There was no new technology, just agreed upon standards that governments signed up on.
On some older PS/PECL laser printers the firmware lived in a small DIMM-like board (for upgrades) with a mask ROM on it. Pretty much all of these are PowerPC (some might have mips). There's probably not much in the way of low-level security there. Just saying.

That might not be strictly necessary, because in the U.S., there's such a thing as a performer's copyright in the (recorded) performance itself, separate from the songwriter's copyright in the song. [0]

I'm old enough to remember the good ole days of "telnet whitehouse.gov 25" and sending email to friends.
Youtube does have a somewhat-hidden "Not Interested" option - on the homepage, when looking at recommendations, under the three-dots kebab menu. It also has a "Don't recommend channel" option there too, which I aggressively use to remove content I don't want, like the compilation clip content farms.
If stakeholders can manipulate the network to ignore a chain with more work, you’ve kind of undermined the whole proof-of-work thing and conceded that Bitcoin is ultimately subject to politics just like any other financial system.

Everything that can be used to uniquely identify a visitor falls under the GDPR. We don't store IP addresses, so it should be GDPR compliant, but we still need to check that to make the claim.
> But to remove public dislikes across the entire site takes away a valuable indicator of video quality.

Indeed. Which means you'd have to watch the ads (oh, right, there's also a video involved) to determine that the content was garbage.

If you can tell without watching a video that it's trash, you might not watch it - which is opposed to YouTube's goal of increasing total video hours watched. Or, at least, their short term goal of making sure people watch stuff (I suspect the long term effects of making people watch more low grade nonsense won't show up in this quarter's growth numbers, which means it's Someone Else's Problem - get promoted and go do something else, it's the Google Way).

Despite all the claims from Google and YouTube about how they're trying to promote certain content and reduce exposure to others, it's a reasonable bet that their algorithms still don't understand much of anything about a video beyond "Oh, hey, people who watch this video watch more related videos later, so the more people I show it to, the more those people will watch, which increases hours watched!"

So, presumably, "dislikes" interfered with people watching more video. Remove the dislikes, problem solved. At least for their definition of "problem" and "solved."

I love the hypothetical, but I will admit I tried to redirect it :-) thank you for your response.

I agree, one cannot consider “trade value” as a component of intrinsic — I think a better (partial) attribute of intrinsic to be its fungibility, which is more what I meant (ease of selling) instead of “trade value” as (sale price). Ease of selling can impact the sale price, which makes it an attribute of its trade value, not intrinsic, but I am making an argument that the very nature of the asset’s fungibility makes it a component of its intrinsic value. BTC is not perfectly fungible due to tx taint, but it is fungible enough over traditional stores of value that it makes it slightly better than traditional. This itself is independent of its sale price; “BTC had an intrinsic value the day it was born”, by merit of its coin provenance, audibility, integrity, censorship resistance and fungibility. That is worth something, even if nobody on earth wants to trade it for fiat.
Every music store I've been in lately has a larger vinyl section than CDs, so as far as physical media goes, it's a pretty big shift.
Aside from the benzene and methanol [1] contamination, I've never heard anyone else comment on all the sketchy emergency-authorization sanitizers at restaurants and other places that cause your hands to smell like prohibition era whiskey mixed with Pine-Sol for an hour.

I was doing compiler design back in the late 70s/early 80s and writing your own compiler generator was quite common at the time - it wasn't until things like bison/yacc became available which not only did an excellent job but also allowed one to hack on them and/or the result (for example my Algol68 compiler needed to be able to be able to decide how to resolve some shift/reduce conflicts on the fly ... that's how you do changeable operator precedence)
Never tried sublime before but I use Notepad++ for large files. Sublime does look sublime. Does it have a keyboard oriented workflow or is it for the mousey workflows only?
Fair point, but I think downvotes have been useful to me relatively recently. Fake videos may not show up in recommendation feeds, but they still appear in search results don't they? (And if you're searching for something relatively obscure, you can realistically hit the bottom of the barrel, rather than only seeing the more highly rated results.)
I agree, the plugin ecosystem is far from VSCode. I usually use Sublime/VSCode as a lightweight editor to learn new languages and technologies and VSCode plugins for Haskell/Clojure/etc are far ahead of Sublime. I don't care much about editor speed, but I do care about getting unfamiliar environments up and running as fast as possible.
I assume "AI" means there's at least one conditional branch in the code.
> Yet experts were telling people to wash their hands and NOT wear masks.

Experts were telling people that wearing non-n95 masks is unlikely to protect you from other sick people.

They are still correct on that point. You primarily wear cloth masks to protect other people, not to protect yourself.
It's not even really a question of attention so much as maintenance. Fixed up front costs are easy to handle as capital that can go into their rate cases, but more so power equipment lifetime is measured in decades and the discharge lifecycles of available battery technology is already not great for an installation expected to go to near full discharge on a regular basis.

If the planned usage is only a 10% semi-daily scenario for stability support that may result in 5-10 years longer lifetimes versus daily discharges for capacity shifting.
Heads up, you had a baby too.
If it's an MVP I'm pretty sure a Wordpress site with a review plugin should be enough for your needs.

In this case it's about consistency. If marijuana is illegal then alcohol should be illegal too. If cryptocurrency is illegal than socially harmful property speculation, shorting stocks and then trashing companies in the press, casinos, state lotteries, and so on should also be illegal.

Inconsistency in these kinds of areas just makes a mockery of the legal system and encourages corruption.

There are tons and tons of other problems with this proposal I didn't get into, such as how cryptocurrency is defined. Are we going to start making data structures like linked lists of cryptographic hashes illegal? In-game virtual currencies? Amusement park tokens tracked in a database? Any law would be either overly broad or trivially circumventable.
Yeah that's the easy part. It gets more interesting when you get try to filter bots, parse the user-agent and stuff like that.
I think so, their name is on a lot of construction equipment.
This is pretty damn incoherent.

> the core reason for cryptocurrencies; escaping inflation and control

Maybe in a whitepaper. In the real world, it's mostly about speculation and enabling crime.

> Law and order stands on the backs of a lot of stuff and CO2. Bitcoin is an example of one little piece of this not needing all that stuff.

Ok...? This is nonsensical.

> Instead it's protected by this mining fleet. And if you want to contest ownership there's no one to invade, no one to attack; the best you can do is make a fleet and try to mine.

Or someone can beat you up and make you give them your password. Rubber-hose decryption has a long track record and is trivial for the right actor to implement, this isn't some weird edge-case.

> It's a small step in the direction of getting away from all these endless wars and control.

Citation badly needed; how does cryptocurrency "get away from all these endless wars"?

> Carbon tax CO2

Ok, this is correct and not incoherent.

Eradication would have been the economically most sensible approach, but that was also true for elimination within the countries that would be paying for it - and it's not what they chose. Some of them apparently figured if you kill half a million of your people and "open up" your economy you can... offset the enormous cost of losing all those people by pretending they aren't dead? I honestly don't know, I suspect it'll turn out that nobody actually did any analysis, they just assumed if they can spout a talking point and have the numbers to push through the policy Mother Nature will have to go along with them, and er, nope.

So I don't expect them to pursue eradication either once the immediate local threat from the pandemic recedes. There's no great commitment to eradication generally from these countries, the funding mostly comes from charitable donation, even though obviously disease eradication makes economic sense as an investment. How much money for example, did your government spend on global elimination efforts for Rinderpest? Or did it just say "Not our problem" the moment there was no disease in their own cattle?

If I used paint.net 8 hours a day on daily basis as I do with VSCode, yeah I'd would probably want to keep it updated as much as possible. Also I rarely "launch" VSCode, it's always open. Which means the updates are downloaded in background and it just shows a small icon at the bottom right when it's ready to be restarted. It's almost invisible and doesn't bother me at all, and I can wait as much as I want before restarting it.
The downvoting is hilarious: nobody can actually say what I’m wrong about, and the one person who tried agreed with me, but you’re here downvoting because you’re sure you’re experts.

If you were really smarter than me at QM, you’d be able to point out what was wrong with what I said.

The HN downvotes without correction really speak to the hubris around here.
I'm fairly sure the "think of the children" type of reaction to the original email by RMS that launched the scandal is pretty US-centric, culturally speaking.

The semantic problem with terminology which he pointed out at that time also seems to be US-specific, more or less (not sure how common it is to use that turn of phrase in the UK, to be honest).

You could see if a comment was highly engaging despite at the bottom, say 200/210 (upvotes/downvotes). Nowdays you only see the + or - number and that's all, only pushing that "meta" narrative that most people want to see.
Helping other countries may be a good thing (although the Vietnamese government's human rights record isn't that great) but it doesn't offer a way out to current victims of forced labor, who can't just move to another country to benefit from the improved conditions there. Do you think they'd just get released once exploiting them becomes unprofitable? That would put a bunch of angry unemployed people on the streets, so the security services are unlikely to be in favor. The most likely path forward would be gradually transferring them into regular work, which works best if such work is available, i.e. there's no blanket ban making everything equally unprofitable.
Does soap actively destroy bacteria, or does it mostly wash the oils off your hands, that bacteria are stuck to/are covered by, and send them down the drain?

I've always been taught it's the latter. Soaping your hands, and not rinsing will not sanitize them, you'll just end up with dirty, soapy hands.
From a YT standpoint, if I am looking for "interview of HenryBemis" and there are 10 likes and 1000 dislikes, it means that this is probably NOT the video, but someone commenting on the video (e.g. I wanted to see the Oprah-Harry-Meghan video).

If YT removes the dislikes from the public eye, I will either have to scroll ahead, OR watch 5-10mins waiting for the thing to start, then go and try some other video.

YT increases user engagement (I have already watched 10mins of one video and now heading for the next.. and the next.. and the next..). So, for YT this is a win-win.. it's the user that gets tricked.

Bravo YT, well played (not!)
Coming from an ad agency background I’ve seen a lot of attempts at “unifying” various data sources from client’s analytics and sales data, agency tools, and third party data sets that are all in different formats, date ranges, and scopes.

Warehousing that data might also require firewalling clients or teams for privacy or “competitive/conflict” reasons.

These aren’t difficult problems to solve with a few knowledgeable devs but that is nothing but added cost and some agencies just aren’t good at hiring the right devs - especially if their previous exposure has been basic front end web developers from their clients.

“Data warehouse” has also become a selling term even if “really big database” is a more accurate term.

Hopefully more of these companies start to distinguish themselves in this space but their competition isn’t each other - it’s entry-level data people blasting through Excel.
