I'm am not American, and I do not live there.

Let me tell you why I call this fanfare (in my country, I won't chime in on other countries issues).

During the pandemic, we had BLM marches, politicians virtue signalling, people hating on the police ("The only good cop is a dead cop" signs during those marches), etc. Do we have racist police? For sure. Do we have a PROBLEM with the police with black people? Not so much. Yes, there are cases of abuse, but never to the level you see in the USA. The last case I remember was a year and a half ago, where a (white) cop was accused of attacking (punching) a (black) woman for refusing to pay for a bus ticket and not leaving the bus, everyone cried racism. After video from inside the bus was shown, it showed a cop 10 minutes trying to talk her to leave the bus, she kept refusing, he grabbed her arm to take her out, and she started hitting him, bitting him (there were photos released after where his arm looked like he was fighting wolves), using somethign she picked to try to hit his head.

This was a big POLICE=RACISM and whatnot. Proved wrong. But still BLM.

You know what actually happened around and no one cared? 4 Government emigration official beat to death a guy inside their offices. I saw no march. I saw no instagram posts. Why? Well, he was white. I saw no celebreties going on tv to sshow their support. No nothing.

So yes, sorry, I don't want to work in a place where I am supposed to put a BLM tag on my username or whatnot, in a country that doesn't have those problems, and being accused of being a racist because of it. Life is too short to deal with that shit.
>>15 USD is still less than if you had adjusted the original minimum wage for inflation, so come on.

This is a myth that is often repeated, but I have yet to see it proven.

The Original Federal Min Wage was passed in 1938 and was $0.38 per hour, Adjusted to 2021 that would be $7.14

In 1981 it was raised to $3.35, in 2021 dollars that would be $9.76

In 2009 it was raise to where it is today, $7.25 ($0.66 lower than a pure inflation increase should have been) and is 9.26 in 2021 dollars

So if you want to do a pure inflation adjusted min wage it would be no more than $10 not $15

I can find at no point in the history of Federal minimum wage would have wage inflation adjusted be more than $15/hr today. I can debate the merits of minimum wage, the ethics, etc, but we have to be having a debate with actual facts not political talking points.
Vala seemed very simple and if it's still solid enough for them to release a stable DE, I guess it's not a big issue. I hear your concern but it seems most people can adapt to Vala in a week.
I think we as a society have put in place lots of social programs, to the tune of billions and billions of dollars a year to ensure "survival" is not at play here.

Further at the end of the day wages are not the problem, cost of living is, economic value of labor is. Waving a magic wand and proclaiming a new min wage does not resolve those root issue, it may in some limited circumstances help a few people for a limited amount of time, but you need to resolve the root issue which mandated minimum wages increases is not going to do and often harms the very people you are looking to "help"
Haters (2020)
Youtubers have it coming. They have accepted obviously unacceptable terms of service. The problems of Youtube are very old, and people have been consistently proposing alternatives that solve these problems. Yet they willingly chose to fatten the beast in the hopes that they will get spared of its cruelty. I say good riddance!
This.

We had a consumer-grade coffee machine at the office once, along with free coffee capsules for the employees.

Whereas in somebody's home that machine would have made 4-5 cups of coffee a day, that machine was making in the order of hundreds a day.

Of course it broke quite often.

But having worked at a restaurant as a waiter in my youth, I can tell: industrial (even entry-level) professional dish-, washer are on another league, completely different. If anything, for having the dishes done in 40 seconds (!)
Yeah I distinctly remember on day three or so of bangface (a n extremely intense rave festival in the UK) just kinda sitting slumped against a mattress in our chalet with almost this feeling like air was whistling through my empty neurons because you go hard on uppers and whatnot again and again.
I am seriously worried where this is going. People don’t seem to take precautions (masks etc), the government doesn’t seem to care (they seem more interested in suppressing data/news). Unless you’re rich, Indian healthcare isn’t great even in good times. It is just not equipped to handle this bad of a situation.

This looks like chapter one of a giant disaster, only waiting to get even more worse
Yes, emotion is all chemicals and signals in your brain, but there's still a quite clear distinction to what the difference between physiological and psychological is.
Also collapsing oxygen supply.. maybe simply with more stock and distribution capabilities the wave would have been less deadly.
Also, unused space is not just wasted, but utilized to efficient (less fragmented) data placing and wear leveling.
This exact thing has happened to most YT creators at this point. It's just part of doing business on YT. Some small section (<10%?) get three "copyright" strikes (nothing to do with actual copyright, of course, as Google isn't the judge of that), and get taken down, and need to start a new channel from scratch. It's what we all get for using a free video streaming service to distribute our content.
I don't think you can buy Chia yet. I hear people are using their spare storage space to farm it. I imaging lots of torrented movies have been sent to the recycle bin recently.
It was a different world in 1995. I was able to register my first name as a domain name also in 1995 because it was simply unclaimed.
>Seriously underestimated

Seems to be the rule of thumb with climate apocalypse now.

There really is no precedence justifying a conservative/reactionary stance on climate change. This won't play itself out somehow. We need proactive Interventions now. It's like with SARS2: We got the second wave, the third wave... no matter how uncomfortable, shit happened exactly like predicted by science - people unnecessarily died. Climate crisis will be so much worse.

As a German, I am really happy about the recent constitutional court ruling extending political legislation's consequences to account for future generations' freedom, and voiding the last insufficient "climate law" by the corrupt CDU/obedient SPD. I hope this level of responsibility gets implement everywhere.
At least for sodium hypochlorite in solution it loses its disinfection properties quickly as I understand it.

The only way you can consider these policies as well-considered is if you are not threatened by them.

If you have a group identity that does not match the founders, these policies will feel as if they are trying to silence you and your input when new policies arise that don't take your group identity into account.

The only fair and sustainable approach is to see humans as entire beings and not robots on a production line.

That doesn't mean the work and customers are forgotten, in fact it's exactly the opposite.
These are good points.

I especially hadn't considered the commenting on individual tweets aspect. IMO it's a bit esoteric to click on an individual tweet to read the comments, because it breaks the flow of my reading. But I can totally understand the upsides of that.

After hearing your thoughts, Twitter could improve by removing the character limit BUT:

- Showing only the first 250 characters of a post on user's feeds.

- Putting a like button next to each paragraph

- Making it easy to inline quote sections of the text in comments by building it into a context menu when you highlight text

This UX would only apply to >250 character tweets, so the micro blogging aspect is not totally lost. Perhaps a option could be added to filter out long tweets for users who prefer micro blogging.

This way you wouldn't have to laboriously chain tweets together, and you would actually gain flexibility in quoting specific sections without breaking the flow of reading.
>>and they are an issue in many big cities

Housing is an issue in big cities largely due to government policies that both limit inventory (building and zoning regulations) and limit profitability (rent control) that make is extremely undesirable to create new housing.

The solution to this is NOT government housing but less government regulations about building new housing
> such as age, blood pressure, or related

So they try to cite the law, giving the relevant section, but the law contains a generic "information or biospecimens" instead of restricting itself to the clearly medical subset they provide. It would be better if they actually cited a source or the exact paragraph that results in their interpretation, because I can't find it.

Even worse they give 46.104(D) as reason why it would be excluded anyway. That is literally the list of all possible reasons something could be excluded. Which of the reasons listed do they refer to?
Why do you assume the "activist" personality types left?

>7. He talks about Narendra modi rallies. Seriously ? He took rallies in the states where elections being conducted by Indian election commission, like all all other political parties he has to support his party. This is saying like Biden cannot take election rally while Trump goes on giving daily speeches. Importantly, do you see the state of Westbengal where election allies happened in the top ?

He is the head of the nation. The larger the power center, the larger the responsibility. This guy literally boasted about the size of the crowd less than 10 days back, in the bang middle of the pandemic.

He deserves to be tried for murder, as well as the election officials.

I will never stop being amazed that European's think Europe is a Utopia that the rest of the world should look to as a model.

I do not want the US to be Europe, that is nothing short of a dystopia for me a person that wants Individualism, and individual freedom. rejecting Authoritarianism and Collectivism

If people in the US like the EU model soo much then i encourage them to expatriate to that location. Stop trying to make the US into the EU
If that were true, we'd be seeing the mutation in sequencings. We all know India is doing pretty badly on that front, but it's also a huge huge population. It's rampant enough that it seems to me they'd have found at least some samples of what you're saying. As it is, B1.617 seems to be the most common there (though it seems hard to find absolute numbers a la [1]), not your friend's speculative mystery strain. Whether they are a doctor..; since what I heard from other doctors near the beginning of the pandemic, it seems they're no better equipped to deal with this than the rest of us and will speculate unscientifically just as much, except people parrot it more.

you're fundamentally misunderstanding the purpose of the copyright claim system: it doesn't exist to determine the legitimate owner of a work, it exists to keep youtube from being sued. Since there is no legal penalty for a "false positive", even if the creator can prove that it's a false positive, while there is a penalty for a false negative, the system will always lean to aggressive removal and demonetization, because that's where youtube's interests lie.

the legal answer here is that if you don't like youtube's copyright system then distribute your content on another platform. Otherwise, push for there to be a penalty for an excessive removal of copyright, because that's the only thing that's going to tilt youtube's scales back to the center.
But why? There are plenty of good companies that have work life balance. Why not move to one of them?
Reading this, many will relate and yet would of put it down to burn-out. We know if you push your body physically too long you increase risk of injury and whilst initially can get over an injury, aspects can play up and increase chances of the injury repeating - say ligaments as one example or cartilage. Heck even if you break a bone, you may find aches and pains in later life for an injury that seemed to of healed back to new.

The brain we are still trying to understand and to get a diagnoses and explanation for somebody who was able to run 1000MPH mentally and now falls flat, the not knowing in itself, I would imagine of been impacting and getting an answer would be huge - just to put a curious mind at rest. I know that is how I would feel and burned out many times, and can relate to too much of this that it's a bit deja vu.
While that would be good, I don't think this would solve anything on Youtube. In the end Youtube is heavily courting the music companies with the way they do things, it's not about the actual law.

See the whole world of educational music youtubers, they are well within their rights to do quite a few things, but in reality they can't even perform certain short guitar riffs themselves without getting flagged.
And also banning any DEI initiatives, banning any and all committees, and a host of other changes that essentially boil down to "shut up and do what we tell you".
Presumably if everyone on the list were wealthy white males, grandparent would be ok with the list being circulated.
It very much depends on the definition of breakdown. Some people see a breakdown if hospitals run out of beds, others will pretty much never accept there is a breakdown in health care because it’s contrary to their conviction that COVID-19 is ‘just a flu’. To be fair, it’s a continuum, there’s not going to be an easily agreed fine line between broken down and not broken down. So the real question is, what constitutes the health care system breaking down, and did that happen in NY.

Without agreement on that though, we’re just shouting at each other.
Subsistence farming is a lot of work, no doubt. But the work is very uneven. Some parts of the year, there's a lot of work. Whole winter, not so much.

Meanwhile factories run all the time.

> YouTube suffers is inconsequential reputational damage

No such thing exists. Using "reputation damage" in context of YouTube, or any Google service really doesn't make any sense.
There can definitely be a racist undertone to jokes about "this name means something funny in English" - it is often rooted in the idea that "this person doesn't belong", "these people aren't like us" etc. Furthermore (and as a completely separate issue), people who are already racist always latch onto these kinds of jokes to strengthen and justify their beliefs, which should be in itself a reason not to make those kinds of jokes.

It's very small in comparison to more serious examples - perhaps it's even the smallest possible example of problematic behavior - but it is problematic nonetheless.

That's literally the point that the Basecamp employees were trying to make in a relatively benign way before their leadership overreacted.
"Most of the content we read in a newspaper [sic] is false" is a very strong assertion to make, especially because in this case it is blatantly untrue. Basecamp's "radical transparency" was accompanied by a lot of explicit public messaging from the company's leadership, along with disclosure of internal discussions and the circumstances that led to the new policy. You can assert that there were falsehoods in particular articles about Basecamp, but everything I read tended to be fully supported by public disclosures from the company or disclosures from veteran employees (not a disgruntled junior employee that got laid off, someone with 5+ years at the company who decided to depart).

The author has points they intend to make and I won't claim that they are implicitly untrue (the argument that newspapers serve as unintentional propaganda has a lot of support behind it), but this situation does not support the points they are trying to make.
Is it purely linguistic, though? I'd say the language reflects the mind.
Abstract:

Can the digital revolution lead to permanent memorials, or even a sort of Internet-based immortality?

By reviewing the nature of human intelligence, this article shows that an individual’s memory and ideas cannot operate directly without the human body in which they were developed.

Further, there is no meaningful way in which technology can allow indefinite access to our culture. However, our lives and actions do influence the thoughts and actions of those who are living, and the Internet can enhance this influence even after our death.
> negative covid test report to participate in this religious event

It depends on the type of covid test, if this is going to be useful. Tests range from negligible error to significant false negatives.
It sounds like you think all tech companies just make stuff for consumer websites.

There are quite a few that don’t interact with global customers and literally never have to even discuss those things.

Many grammatical and spelling errors throughout, very distracting.
The big difference between the consumer and the industrial grade product of the same specs is usually in the guarantee of reaching those specs consistently, and in more extreme conditions.

A consumer laptop screen might do just well in the dashboard of a car but it might also turn yellow. You can't complain because it wasn't meant to be used like that (like operating in 80+C temperatures). Your vacuum cleaner would certainly not last long if you started vacuuming water and construction debris, the kind of stuff an industrial vacuum is built for.

A consumer SSD is not designed to be used for this kind of mining. Regular consumers are more price sensitive and ignore other aspects because they're not tech educated. Many don't even understand what this "mining" entails, just that they could make some money. There's a minority of consumers who went for the cheap stuff and now want to make money off of it by pushing it beyond the stated limits. I honestly don't think they have a leg to stand on.

It's a good thing that not all products are made to meet all expectations because they would cost all the money, all the time.
Thiamine (B1) deficiency can cause exactly that. It leads to mitochondrial disfunction depriving high-energy cells (mostly neurons) from ability to consume glucose via oxidation. As the result, a person develops insulin resistance that causes a swarth of consequences like an induced type 2 diabetes. If the situation with thiamine deficiency is not getting fixed, lactic acidosis proceeds as a dangerous side-effect of the backup metabolism path (anaerobic glycolysis) and gradually leads to progressive peripheral neuropathy including panic attacks (false hypoglycemia), burning sensations and numbness in the limbs and so on with ongoing neuro-degeneration.

Not sure if this is the author's situation but he should be very warned.
Yes I recall the turtle, thats a blast from the past. Logo was the language, turn left etc. I was jealous because I never had the actual turtle. I think there were hardware tortoises.
Not sure I see how Twitter is relevant - the author gets to the real answer by the end. DHH and Jason spent years crafting a narrative that they had figured out, quote, "the better way to work," and that they knew how to run a company in ways other people should emulate. They poured their effort into books and podcasts and blogs to create that impression. That's why a lot of people know about this ~50-person company and why a management blunder that causes a third of the company (so far) to leave is newsworthy.

Years ago I worked at a 50-person company that laid off almost all its employees. The only report was from one industry blog (from a blogger who really liked our product and was sad we never made it in the market), and no amount of clicking things on Twitter could have made more people notice. Social media and print media alike can amplify stories people are likely to care about, but there has to be an underlying story in the first place.
> Keep in mind that the world operated on subsistence farming before 1800

Yep. But I think a big difference here is between subsistence farming and serfdom on the farm you lived in vs sending kids into the wool factories with unbreathable air. The testimonies from factory inspectors is mind blowing.

> What eventually saved children from this was the rising productivity that came from industrialization.

Eventually, thankfully yes. But the Factory Act also mandated maximum hours children could work per day, making employing children expensive as they needed double the number of children to work in shifts, which eventuated to banning shift work for children altogether (because they weren't allowed to work past certain hours making shift teams useless).
We've been using Basecamp for years now, I wouldn't notice if the entire company went on vacation for 6 months.

It just works.

Hey customers might notice a difference.
