It's just awesome what a keen sense Snowden has for this kind of operation. He has an intuitive understanding that information is only one component of power - the other is the spectacle of how you present it.

Blowing the whistle is not effective when you simply publish a blog post somewhere. It requires theatrics to establish credibility, interest, and to reach the right audience in a way that can't be ignored.
> Basically Youtube doing nothing.

Actually, they're hurting an independent content creator over something she has every right to do using works in the public domain. Youtube is doing that, not the fraudster making the false claim. They have no power other than what Youtube gives them, and Youtube gives them 100% of the power.
And thankless. You write it, and nobody reads it, so you still have to explain it out.
You're not engaging with any of the well-reasoned criticism in that comment. You in fact do not get what the clearly-stated objection (not "rage") is about - it has nothing to do with JS cruft or advertising. That makes me think that any further effort on my part to try to repeat those claims is futile, and you are being "obsessive and uncritical" as the article puts it.

We agree that it is not commendable to be a hater, sure. I think it is also not commendable to be unable to distinguish critics from haters.

Politics is not “Dems vs Republicans” or “Tory vs Labour”. All the aforementioned improvements came from organized workers protesting against their bosses. That is politics.
Yup, if you don't then your landlord gets all the value. You get a 10 year lease, build a successful restaurant (if you make it past the dreaded first year) and then when your lease expires your successful restaurant has helped increase the land value in the area and the margin you worked up to evaporates when you sign a new 10-year lease that is more expensive because the value of the land has gone up (partly due to your success).
I've already stated this many times, I'll state it again.

Get your shit out of YouTube and any other Google product.

Google is a dumb, faceless, fully automated company only interested in extracting as much data as possible from its users, force them to swallow as many ads as possible, all without caring about listening to them (both consumers and creators), under the faulty assumption that they're too big for users and consumers to live without them. They simply don't deserve anybody using their shitty products anymore.

The error in this case is quite obvious. YouTube's scanner incorrectly identified the teacher's recording of Moonlight Sonata as a copyrighted reinterpretation of the same piece of music originally written by a guy who actually died 200 years ago. And I can't completely put the blame on Google's AI: the notes are technically the same, the beat might also be the same, if you calculate an FFT of the audio you'll probably also come up with similar spectral signatures. But a human listener will IMMEDIATELY notice that was played by the teacher IS NOT the the same as the copyrighted piece of music.

The problem is: who is accountable for these mistakes? Who shall I reach out to if Google's foggy algorithms make a mistake? And, in the case of educators and creators who actually do that for a job, who will compensate them for the revenue they have lost because of algorithmic errors?

Until Google can provide an answer to these questions, I repeat: keep your ass away from anything that has their name on it. They are not reliable, the risk of losing your data, your account or your followers because of random automated decision is very high, and the probability of getting a real human to assist you is very low.
You don't become Uncle of the Year until you send the article to your nephews.../withholds award
Because the mac division will become the lesser of the sister companies. Its best people will go with the more profitable divisions on the split. And it's not in great shape as it is. When its ROI turns out to be lower than that of the rest of the company, year after year, more heads will roll, ending with the sale to some Asian manufacturing giant. And that will be the end of it.

Splitting off the media part (iTunes, Beats, Tidal, and the rest) will have the same effect, I fear.
This is a call for UBI that unnecessarily demonizes low skill employers. There is a great human dignity argument for UBI. Demonizing employers who won’t take a negative return by paying employees more than the value they generate isn’t a good way to get there.
Not really if you're limited to talking about a particular country.

Like I guess you could argue it's the difference between ethnic cleansing internally and invading a neighbor to engage in ethnic cleansing, but that's sort of not a hugely important distinction.

I am focusing on Raising questions, whereas you are focusing on the rhetorical quip ("want to quit programming"). It is a well known fact that the web bloat has increased tremendously and instead of addressing this, you're worried about "tantrums". We, the public, can critique anything on this forums in accordance to the hacker spirit. The founders are free to take the feedback or ignore it, but it is not meant for them directly. It seems to me that you're emotionally involved with this topic, but please bear with me, I don't want any founder to be mobbed for their efforts.

The general analysis of this thread's comments show that people are not buying PG's simplistic arguments. A startup can have fanboys, haters, detractors, enemies, and many more types of critics but this article ignores that depth, nuance etc and goes on to paint an simplistic binary picture.

But people still push back against it for.. reasons

It's pretty simple, actually

Person A: We need to do thing X

Person B: Why?

Person A: Because I am morally superior to you, and I say so

You really don't understand why person B would push back against tacitly accepting that they were the moral deficient? It's the same reason people dislike vegans who say "for moral reasons", they're asserting that everyone around them is immoral, and people find it obnoxious.
> "fair use" cases, which are incredibly hard to decide.

Only a judge acting in a court of law can decide if something is fair use. All else is speculation.
This was my attitude as well for much of my career, and it was a mistake. The "correct" decision depends on the state of the business and your resources at the time. And nothing else.

That difference is itself dependent on how the pick is grasped. Anything can happen.

They were sued [1]. The lawsuit lasted 7 years and ended in a settlement. The terms were not public, but I think it's likely they promised to institute a process that goes above and beyond what the DMCA requires. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viacom_International_Inc._v._Y....

It's reasonable for a for-profit company that has a monopoly.
AIUI there collection societies are collectives of publishers and look out for the people who own the publishing companies, they're not making sure the publishing companies act fairly and justly, they're making sure they sue people who are too small to defend themselves in order to boost the collections in order to support the publishing company owners.

Maybe I'm wrong ... counter evidence welcomed.

How is Apple's decision to no longer support the original iPad and also refuse to open the platform not deliberate?

This is in no way "authoritarian". Basecamp is saying that if you want to sell your labor to them, they have a few requirements. Plenty of companies have this. Is making employees wear or uniform or wash their hands when they leave the restroom authoritarian? After all, if they don't follow those rules, they'll be fired and their income streams will be cut off.
I think the main factor is being already rich or being born into a rich/influential family. A lot of problems startups have suddenly disappear when you can ask your dad for a small loan of 1 million dollars or ask your mum for a meeting with the chairman of IBM. Not saying this is the only factor but this "Great Filter" that weeds out those who don't have money or contacts helps others to develop their business with less competition.
-Multiple steps are necessary—requires training or demonstration
-Requires a lot of equipment (2 buckets, cloth, and a stirrer)

I think this gets at the heart of the issue. If stiring in a powder and straining your water to prevent disease and parasites is too complicated to understand or too time consuming to do consistently, imaging how difficult it will be for these people to build water treatment plants and ultimately build an industrialized economy. Which is why they haven't done so while other nations did it without any assistance centuries ago. There simply is no easy solution to poverty in the third world, and obsessing over it will get you nowhere.

> Your concern should be with any method of travel, not air travel per se.

The U.S. was extremely slow to restrict travel from India. Are many people traveling to the U.S. from India via car, bus, train, or boat? Flights are the concern because that's how people travel between continents.
May I ask why you felt things we better post 360 feedback?
I agree. It should go without saying that you only get one brain.

Fundamentally, anything that modulates the brain should be used with extreme caution. Although the brain is remarkably resilient, sometimes drug-induced changes or side effects can be permanent.

For some, this may come as relief, yet for others, they may find that the solution was worse than the problem. As they say, caveat emptor.

If the teachers are helpful, this would not be an issue. In most places I went to, teachers understood, and some peer always helped people with older textbooks. For problem set additions or extra chapters or pages, we used to photocopy those pages before high-res cameras became a norm in mobile phones.
I'd rather prepare myself than rely on my provider's emergency plan. I can be sure if my house survives the disaster and I have my own purifier (whether this product or something else), then I'll be able to have drinking water. But even if my provider has a great plan, disaster plans aren't truly tested until the disaster strikes, so that plan may not be sufficient.

I have both stored fresh water as well as a filter in case of emergency, I'm not counting on my local water authority being able to pump water uphill to where I live for long during a disaster.
My guess is: Many people just can't get a grip on themselves and their urges.

Among friends I know, that I am the most strictly adhering to lockdown rules, even going beyond what the rules are. I don't visit people, I avoid being visited (even whatever number of people is allowed visiting each other. Just because one can, does not mean it is a great idea.) I try to tell close ones to avoid visits. Many days I don't leave the house or premises, which of course I can only do, because of being able to work from home. Many people at least need to go to work, that much I understand. This goes on for a year or so by now, in which I have once met one friend outside for hiking.

Yet I know people, who I thought were smarter or had more self-control, who travelled. To me this is bafflingly selfish. Is their vacation travelling really more important than people around them, family members included? What if they catch a new variant, perhaps even one which goes undetected? (I don't know if that is biologically possible with the tests we have.) What if they have no symptoms but spread it to others? Are they ready to carry the responsibility for someone suffocating? Why do they need to go on vacation every year, no matter what is happening? What is the reasoning behind their actions?

I guess these thought and questions are not on the menu for many. Too uncomfortable to think about that. I guess I am quite extreme in my isolation. Probably easier for me to do than for others, because of pre-existing social isolation and being used to little social contact. However, what I also think is, that if more people avoided unnecessary contacts, travelling and such, we would be in less trouble than we are now.

The whole thing changed my view of some people I know. Not much to the better, I am afraid. Perhaps I am a person with especially low requirements of my world, as long as I have a computer with Internet access, food and running water. I guess it is hardest for the people, who have a huge contrast to the before pandemic time.
This conversation about what minimum wage should be always devolves into useless bickering about location and which inflation statistic to use.

A more productive conversation would be to define the minimum quality of life that one should have, then calculate the cost of it, then divide by how many hours one “should” work to achieve that quality of life.

Should a person be able to own land in a tier 1/2/3 urban/suburban area? Should a person be entitled to healthcare with a certain out of pocket maximums(gold/silver/bronze)? Should someone be able to afford daycare for infants? How much should one have saved up by retirement date (which brings up its own cost calculation for expenses during retirement)?
If people would spend more time outside in summer, destressing, getting vitamin D, improving their immunity etc. then we can expect the current cycle to end as respiratory infectious diseases tend to.

The coercive measures by govs are pushing in the opposite direction.
The history of theses things in India seems to be the track that Covid followed everywhere.

Is it just human psychology that is the problem?

1st wave: everybody clamps down. R goes to < 1

2nd wave: people think it's over R goes >1, then clamp down again.

3rd wave: more of no. 2 but with a broader base of carriers across the nation.

3rd wave in India therefore will be really nasty based on other nations 3rd wave, unless their rapid vaccination plan gets a big percentage of the populace vaccinated over the next few months.
I assume the gp is referring to https://livingwage.mit.edu/. The fact that it is A) hosted on a .edu domain and B) is associated with MIT, is enough for most folks to blindly accept its outputs as some kind scientific truth. Folks love a good appeal to authority.

The calculator is pretty strange, though. A quick glance under the hood reveals that the calculator goes well out of its way to inflate the cost of living which is used to calculate the 'living wage' in a given area. They consider a mobile phone as a basic need, which makes sense. But when they calculated the cost of a mobile phone, they included the price of a new $200 phone every 2 years, and a plan that includes 10GB of mobile data per month! As a result, the expected monthly cost of a phone was ~3x what I pay. When pricing broadband internet, they said $60/mo was the lowest they could find in my area, which again was ~3x my own monthly expense. The transportation allowance was so high as to be roughly equivalent to the payment+insurance on a 1-2 year old Toyota Corolla. For the food allowance, they arbitrarily chose the 'second cheapest' FDA approved balanced meal plan price scheme, which added $60/mo in expenses for no reason whatsoever. That's where I quit investigating, but I would be surprised if those are the only living expenses which were so inflated.
> Or maybe they just recognize that their AI is causing more harm than good.

Google recognizes that these flaws in their AI aren't worth caring about. Google doesn't have any mission or obligation to help the world share videos. Google cares about Google's profits. And they've found that the expedient way to do that is just let the AI be overzealous with rejecting, because the cost of a false positive is infinitesimally tiny and the cost of a false negative (real copyright violation) is so much higher.

How do we fix this? Competition. We need a Google/Youtube competitor so that users will choose the platform that does copyright recognition better.
If anyone is interested in pedal history, JHS Pedals creator Josh Scott (I heard his voice a couple of times in the trailer, which isn't surprising) has an absolutely incredible YouTube channel where he gives fantastic oral histories of companies and pedal designs (as well as opinions about various types of pedal and the like).

Understood. I wasn't trying to shoot down your point with a drive-by, just want more people to be aware that PEX, which is quite common in new construction for household drinking water plumbing, is a questionable choice for at least that purpose.

PVC, CPVC, and PEX are all commonly used in drinking water plumbing.

I can't offer a qualified view on irrigation or utility plumbing; not sure if PEX leachates are worse than PVC, etc.

Firstly, thanks for confirming that that the parent poster was posting a false statement.

Secondly, as you must be aware, the reason Apple decreased the performance
was to extend the useful lifetime of the battery.

The fine was because they didn’t explain this properly in advance, not because they did it.

They still in fact do alter the device performance to accommodate aging batteries and make them last longer.

This is a really silly issue to raise if the argument is about Apple shortening lifetimes of devices or batteries, since it makes the device usable for longer.
I often see peers struggle with writing documentation because they prioritize it as a separate task. For example they write all the code in a giant PR and then try to go back and write the documentation for everything at once. This creates a much larger more insurmountable seeming goal than if they had broken up the task and written the docs for each piece instead.

Another critical mistake is expecting devs to cover writing the documentation that explains the deep contextual intricacies of the business logic and reasoning for said logic. Big mistake. Your docs should cover the code and how it can be operated. Anything else is why we have project briefs, strategies and other documents and meetings.

So writing documentation isn’t hard. It’s just more and more devs are coming from a willy-nilly-web-search-when-you-think-of-it background with no formal organizational skills or experience.

Most of what is written in doc-blocks above your function should be generated. Everything else is operational information.

I'm on Android and use Castbox. Wouldn't recommend the free version unless you're extremely tolerant to ads. It comes with a good selection of other features (comments, recommendations, etc.) but I don't use them.

I'd also (tentatively) put PocketCasts forward. I switched to Castbox because I encountered an issue that made it unusable, but it doesn't seem like it was widespread when I was trying to find out what was wrong. Unfortunately the Support Team couldn't help so I had to leave it.
> Youtube had $6 BILLION in ad revenue in the last quarter (not year), so they could certainly afford to hire some people. In the end it might even be a profitable investment, as fewer good content is pruned from Youtube for wrong copyright issues, leading to more ad revenue.

Who is paying said ad revenue though? Could a large chunk of it come from the same companies/industries who currently enjoy the broken state of YouTube's DMCA process?
