> health care be a right

If something is a “right”, it doesn’t imply the government should just take care of everything and it should be totally socialized. One might consider “clothing” a right, but I don’t think we’d want the government to control what we wear.

I agree that government should ensure universal healthcare, and maybe a single payer system would be the correct model (though other countries have had better results with partially market driven approaches). But my belief there is based on the fact that humans aren’t currently able to make good decisions about their own health care, and government panels probably would be able to make better decisions regarding public health.
As a young, educated, skilled person, why would I want to stick around in a country that won't take care of me when I finally retire and can actually have some free time? Take care of your seniors if you want people to stay.

I think we can all agree that if resources were infinite there would be no need to think about charging for anything
If logic were involved we wouldn't be having a discussion about removing dislikes in the first place, no? :)
> The ultimate admission the only way they can spread their messaging is through force, not honest competition of ideas. How superior.

> Nothing proves you have a worthy argument better than outright hiding from dissent.

I don't know the general trends across YouTube or why they would do this. Certainly, they've also been silencing views they and certain influential groups advising them don't like, and I've seen videos put out by connected establishment and moneyed milieu downvoted into oblivion. But value and truth are not determined through popular vote. It might coincide, or it might not.

So the only way I can understand your comment is to suppose that downvoting of "preferred" YouTube content has gotten so severe that the company wishes to prevent the communication of exactly how much disapproval there really is for the "official narrative" (while potentially keeping track of it themselves) because once someone knows he's not alone in his disapproval, he might just have more confidence to resist or leave a comment that spreads a message unfavorable to them. So yes, dislikes might increase engagement, but it might not be the kind of engagement they want to facilitate.

Not according to the Bitcoin genesis block, without which Ethereum never would’ve existed.
Crunchy granola digital soyboy here: I can't think of any reason why this is a good idea since tools already exist to disable voting and comments for PR.

It's the money; probably Hollywood. Maybe the Whitehouse? If it's perceived as staving off a SV antitrust breakup a little longer but that just doesn't seem "big" enough of a concession. So I'm back to money.

What I'm a little more concerned about is the conspiracy-minded posters on this site coming out of the woodwork on this article who are about 6 parens away from saying what they really mean.
It's quite simple. Future prices go down which means future business incomes go down which means future wages go down. People who inherited money 100 years ago can just sit on it and do nothing with it and still earn more than you will from hard work. The inverse situation is that you invest your money to beat inflation and that investment creates jobs which then fuel consumption.

When you consider that we cannot just produce everything we need for the next 200 years in 1800 it becomes pretty obvious that we must keep working from 1801 to 2020 to get to 2021. We can't just sit and do nothing. After all, what are you going to buy with your paper wealth, if nobody is working on the farms and the population has shrunk?
And the picture of devils (?) dancing on the stove? Who are they marketing to?
A general pattern of tech folks trying to understand a subject is that they will analyze billions of data points while doing everything in their power to avoid or minimize talking with people.
Where in the comment do they claim “the White House is explicitly pressuring Google to remove this feature”?
Or you could just let foreign taxpayers fund a higher standard of living for yourself
Poor guy, he's scared of "cryptoasset" holders not voting for democrats :(

After this blanket ban, let's just move to a one-party democratic system too, like North Korea.
Hungary is by far worse, fwiw.

> To be fair, the first edition of the book is from 1986.

The first edition of Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools* is from 1986. The first edition of the dragon book wasn't Compilers, it was Principles of Compiler Design (1977). The 2nd edition of Compilers is the 3rd dragon book.
Dragon book is solid, but just a regurgitation of Knuth, etc. Hardly worth a Turing Award. The bar lowers more every year, sigh.
A while back they significantly increased the number of ads and also now show YouTube premium popups constantly. I would imagine it's had very little if any negative impact. Google knows YouTube is the only game in town.
With insurance, even. So many of even the "good" insurance policies have two or three thousand dollar deductibles, and things like specialists often get into byzantine co-insurance percentages.
I cannot comprehend why anyone would be against health care for all? It seems like such a silly thing to vote against the idea that everyone is healthy.

There are lots of agenda items on the political spectrum but healthcare seems like such a strange thing to not be supportive of. Can someone help explain to me what the oppositions point of view is?
This focus on returning to work or a hybrid model really seems like a missed chance to pivot the economy in a new direction. It would be great if these companies let employees work remotely full time if they choose. That'll allow people to have more freedom in where and how they live, and also distribute the economy more evenly. Right now, working for big tech companies means having to live in one of a few big city centers, that all share virtually the same cultures (socially and politically) and lifestyles. Haven't people figured out how to make remote work successful in this last year? Anecdotally, it seems like most people are just as productive.
Would it? What figures are you using for all cause mortality?

Remote work is great for companies that have a work life balance. But remote work is a bummer at places that expect more than a 40-hour work week. At those places social activity happened over lunch or dinner. Then suddenly we were all locked down with no pre-existing social circle to fall back on.
Odd. We supposedly saw a doubling of productivity.

We have many offices in offices in different timezones, and remote-only helped cross office collaboration.

Also, the company is open floor plan, which is well-known to be productivity minimizing.

On top of that, we’re pathologically meeting-heavy (“Don’t write it down or send an email. Schedule a meeting instead.” is part of new-hire training.)

If I weren’t under NDA, and I had business school contacts, I’d try to write this up as a case study.
To be clear: I did not downvote.
Looks like trolling to me. There's 95% dislike rate even for a mundane "paycheck protection bill".
Your feelings are very much not shared in regards to productivity.

I will grant you that multi-person video meetings are subpar. Which is a blessing, because now we have smaller meetings.
Posts like this remind me how little I fully understand about networking and associated protocols, and how valuable it is to understand them to build things right.

The note about securing static sites with https finally painted the picture for me as to why it's a big deal, even for sites that don't send any data to a db!

First of all, this is a standardized way (it is standardized in the XDG desktop portal APIs, which are implemented for example by Plasma and Gnome, and for wlroots-based compositors).

It was also never within the scope of Wayland to provide these kinds of APIs (previously when screen capture was available through the X11 interface, that was more of an accident than an intended feature, and it was an intentional design choice not to repeat this mistake in the design of Wayland).

Instead, compositors and applications (that use the Wayland protocol to communicate) were supposed to agree on a standard interface to do these kinds of things and then use that interface. And that's in fact what they did, by implementing the XDG desktop portal system (that's entirely separate from Wayland). I also see evidence of this interface existing as far back as 2016, although I didn't go digging for when it was initially invented.

Notice that this article doesn't say "is it now possible to screen capture when using Wayland", it only says that OBS Studio now uses this standard interface for screen capturing.
TL;DR gov't being involved in things is an absolute vice and/or actually the problem is not _enough_ free market

I'm supportive of this being fair, it's not a negative take.

Is this a copycat? Why didn't the user notice?
I worked at a place with a historic, beautiful, downtown office. It was great ... for a while. Then they expanded but the location could not. My enjoyment dropped rapidly once we were five to a desk. The question of remote work came up and upper management was heavily invested in on site ICs. And this around the time they promoted some semi-remote folks to be our managers. It was weird. Possibly some trust issues from past contractors.

EDIT: Forgot to mention they did specifically call out the expense of the location and parking privileges as a reason to disallow remote work.
>...whether you know someone in the other team matters a lot...

I was kind of hoping the remote work experience would help folks make that sort of inside baseball less important. There are real equity concerns to consider, but practically speaking, you end up with narrower and less open decision-making processes in general.

It's definitely a complicated subject, but maybe some folks are partly missing some privilege that they need to learn to let go.
That's completely fair criticism in my opinion, but not the one I see invoked by most people. In my experience, most of the time the sexual language is the problem, and that is completely bonkers to me because, as you said, sex is a big part of human life and it makes sense for it to be reflected in art.
You could just as well leave off the last 4 words of the headline.
I'm pretty sure this is how you teach YouTube that you like clickbait.

But I guess that happens anyway.
Save yourself the trouble. Unless you're immunodeficient or touching people for your job stop using this stuff.
Why would the viewcount be relevant to this?
The bill of rights includes the right to an attorney. That's a resource allocation.
Insurance companies pay a lot of money to ad companies and politicians to make sure they stay in business. Evil and straightforward.
> One might consider “clothing” a right, but I don’t think we’d want the government to control what we wear.

I think it would be _pretty awesome_ if freely available durable (and warm) clothing were made available to people that needed it (homeless, foster kids, etc), much the way my taxes help subsidize peoples' food costs.

There's a big difference between saying, "You have to wear this", and "We'll all pay so that people who need it can get shoes/socks/pants/jacket X times per year if needed".
Probably has to start w/ an app.
For certain values of exists. I would love to get off of YouTube completely, but until eg PeerTube actually gets a significant number of content creators to move over or upload in parallel, its going to be impossible to fight YT. It's a very chicken/egg problem.

Thankfully, YT keeps doing user-hostile things, slowly pushing more people into trying out alternatives.
I didn't say anyone, let alone the White House is pressuring them to remove anything. Why would the WH have to pressure them? I have zero doubt that Google is pushing this themselves.

What I firmly believe, based on statements by the companies and the employees that work for them as well as their actions (over the past five years in particular) is they have a particular agenda to push and if you aren't on the right side of their messaging they intend to suppress it by any means possible.
What's going on in this comment section? It seems more like of a reddit thread than the usual thoughtful HN comments. Propaganda? Ghostbusters? Whitehouse? "They"? Are troll farms targeting HN now?
I am fascinated by geometric algebra but what I have seen so far seems like mathematicians trying to convince physicists and programmers to use their system, which to be honest seems much better, but is also harder to build an intuition of. I would love to read a geometric algebra for dummies/from the ground up.

People won't leave that easily. Nobody compares to YouTube. Facebook had no way of voicing disapproval for a long time and membership still increased. They are testing various options which might mean they're weighting the relative benefits and damage. And besides, they may be in a position where they have no choice if propaganda is more important than money.
Find some episodes of The Muppet Show. Late 1970s, with a entertainment-related guest on each episode.

Sometimes the guest is an actor or actress, and they're very nice looking.

Sometimes the guest is a musician... and they look funny to modern eyes. Then they pull out their instrument or open their mouth, and you can hear the same (or better) quality as today's musicians.

The Muppet Show ended in 1981. MTV launched in 1981.
Actually, Airbyte is a pivot from a first product. And we struggled a lot to raise with the previous product, even though we were fresh out of YC. YC is an indicator but not enough by itself.
This actually makes the most sense, although I'm p sure dislikes are not counted if you dont watch the video at least partially.
But maybe the dislikers actually watch the Biden videos - who knows.
The view count is much more telling.

I don't agree. Many quality videos have low-no view counts because they are not promoted in any way or the persons making the video don't know how to do self-promotion. Downvotes are a signal about the percentage of people who watched something and disliked it, albeit an unreliable signal that can be gamed.

If it were just about view counts, th rational thing would be to get rid of upvotes as well and just let people rely on view and subscription #s and/or read the comments. As it is this will just lead to people putting thumb-down emoji in comments or flagging posts on other platforms that contain YouTube links.
There is a large on going literature regarding the distinction of “positive and negative rights” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights)

Personally I’m with you- generally speaking “positive rights” do not carry the same weight as negative rights and need a different term (I propose “really good ideas”) but people with our viewpoint have been losing that battle for a long time.
It does happen faster at higher temperatures, but apparently not so much that it makes a difference in terms of cleaning your hands. I'm a bit surprised by that, but that's what studies seem to imply.
It’s easy to take this stance and call others crazy, but what would it take for you to believe your current opinion is wrong about Bitcoin, apart from it changing to something which is in spirit and function not equivalent? If the answer is: “nothing would change my mind”, then perhaps you are the crazy one; after all, carbon copies of you have been around for every cycle of bitcoin growth.

Do speculative bubbles have cycles, has any speculative bubble grown as much, crashed as hard, then grown even larger than bitcoin has multiple times? Bubbles only pop once, and bitcoin has fell as hard as any other bubble I know you are tempted to compare it to, only to retake the ground later.

Speculative, obviously, bubble? You might be crazy for thinking so.
There are various ways you can test it. But it obviously depends on what the mechanism is. If you’re cutting physical wires used to raise or lower something then hopefully it is obvious the mechanism will work (but maybe it goes wrong if the cut end of the wire is caught somewhere.)

In a computer system, you ought to be able to test systems to make sure they behave correctly under the consequences of a switch press. You could also test them—there may be times when it is ok to press the switch, or where you have redundancy such that two switches must be pressed but you only press one to test.

But I think another alternative is to not have the mechanism used extremely rarely. I think it can be good to accept cases where things go wrong a bit from time to time so that people have practice dealing with them as the alternative is to only have things go wrong under some enormous catastrophe when no one will have any idea what to do.
Okay, but you're overly exaggerating "the elites" to some mythic pedestal. They're human. And here's the fun part, you would do the exact same thing they're doing if it was you sitting in their throne. I mean, if whataboutism is alright to play, the honest truth is, you're not angry at the elites. You're angry that you're not apart of their club. You don't win a 100m dash because you lack value in fast twitch muscle fibers and stamina, you don't win economics because you lack value in opportunity capitalization. The smell of these arguments is just a pile of, "because I'm not standing on the podium, we need to end all races". You, just like everyone else, wants to call the shots. 99% of political discussions amount to, "Everyone else has it wrong. If I were supreme ruler, I would make everything correct instantly." Maybe, just maybe, if you stop for a second... maybe economics, government and the infrastructure systems that run our lives are really complicated. Not only can a handful of people really not control it well, maybe a handful of people actually don't. But that line of thinking makes it harder to point fingers at the mythical, "them". Instead, you have to turn to the mirror and go, "Where did I fuck up?" No one wants that. They want to blame Satan, not themselves. Opps, I meant elites, not Satan... well...

I'm a huge fan of WSB. Especially because they amount to, "Oh, did the wrong people manipulate the market?" What I don't understand is how anyone confused this as socialism or communism at work. This was straight up capitalism at play. The hand of the market made a move. No rules changed for this to happen. People decided to actually play the game instead of cry. What do you know, the uncontested champions aren't that good at playing the game. Maybe there's room for a good ol' fashion capitalistic shake up. It just took a bunch of apes to go, "Hey, maybe we should stop watching our wife's boyfriend do the dirty and read up on how the markets work. Then we should work together to play the game as the rules are instead of whine like babies." Paraphrasing obviously.

I just don't understand this desperate need to burn a system when you don't even bother to learn how it works properly. And I'm not talking about youtube cartoons. I swear, if you ask someone, "Oh, how did you learn C?" "I watched a few 10 min youtube videos about it. I'm an expert now." You rightfully would be smacked in the face with a flounder... or salmon... or some other big fish. But for some reason, 30 min of youtube makes you an expert in economics, finance and politics. Oh, and I know that's the case because you throw around "elite" like it means anything. Falls under the "them" term like lizard men conspiracy whacks spout on about. Those of us actually trying to break into those ranks through legit business means call them "old money"... or "rich cunts". You probably can figure out which I prefer.
I’m not opposed to a well-functioning healthcare for all, but I can guess at a few possible oppositions: (all of these are phrased as generic first-person statements but by people who are not me)

1. I don’t want my healthcare to be provided by the same people who brought me a lifetime of experiences at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

2. Healthcare is expensive. I’m already paying for healthcare for my family and we’re struggling to get ahead; why would I want to pay for healthcare for others as well?

3. Good healthcare is expensive and I can afford and buy the best health insurance. I don’t want the best to be unavailable to me and my family because we’re all on a “just OK” government system.

4. I’m a medical professional and think that I will make less money under a government-provided system of care.

5. I’m a prescription drug manufacturer. See #4.

6. I’m a biotech research company. See #4.

>This doesn't excuse CRT related nonsense which should be similarly thrown out, but it doesn't validate Trump support nonsense either.

And again since you're still avoiding the main issue with defining what exactly "disinformation" is... who gets to decide this and what criteria makes it disinformation is?

A large portion of the population doesn't think CRT is disinformation at all so you don't get to just decide to throw it out. A lot of schools are treating it and aspects of transgenderism as fact. Thinking any of this 'digital literacy' will be based on proven facts is pure ignorance.
> When these people say "surveillance" they mean they think that Facebook magically hears it when they say something out loud and they start seeing ads for it. We engineers overestimate the awareness average user has about technology.

Not "magically" - they don't trust their device. And can you blame them? Their device likely isn't trustworthy in so many different ways.

Hell, when accelerometers can be repurposed as rudimentary microphones, and when just about every modern device/app defaults to maximum "yes please track me," I tend to be paranoid myself!
