Maybe? I based my conclusion on the experiences of sitting in a room together with other people, but being able to converse with them quicker via instant message on our laptops.

Now that I think more about it, maybe the raw speed is not quicker, but the quantity of ideas conveyed per unit of time is higher due to being able to scroll back and forth in text for the listener, as opposed to wasting time clarifying mumblings or repeating what one said. Especially in a group setting where you do not have to take turns speaking.
I would pay to get rid of ads. The only problem is that I would need to log into YouTube to take advantage of that.

If I log into YouTube, that requires me to be logged into Google everywhere and I do not want that at all. The only solution is to use Firefox containerization or use separate browsers or separate browser profiles for things and I'm not going to do any of those because all of those options are annoying to me.

If my ad blocker stops working on YouTube and/or if they require me to login, I'll simply stop visiting YouTube. There's plenty of other things to do!
Case in point, would that book have been published if all publishers were ideologically controlled by the state?
> The message wouldn't show up unless the server offers this new key type, would it?

Good point. I think you can probably guard this so that neither clients nor servers ever see the new SSH authentication message if they aren't onboard with this plan, but it's a bit complicated.

The problem is on your first flight you don't know the ID, so your SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST will definitely fail. That's OK, the protocol expects this, it's how lots of things already work. The server sends SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_FAILURE but unlike REQUEST, the FAILURE message isn't extensible, the only way forward it imagines is to tell you other methods that might work, and your method might work, you just don't know the ID.

So you're going to need to have this failure step function as a signal to inject the new message, a hypothetical SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_SECURITYKEY_ID_LIST or something, with one or more IDs for which the server claims to know a corresponding public key, the same way protocols like WebAuthn work.

The more I write about this, the more I'm convinced somebody could have actually built it, but since the OpenSSH people did the work to bring FIDO to SSH and I did not, I don't really have the right to criticise. For all I know they spent six months trying this approach and ended up in a cul-de-sac.

> It's not the job of the SSH server to write to authorized_keys, so it's not the job of the SSH server to write these blobs either.

Good point, you could probably build something where the ID lives in (the new type of) SSH public keys or some equivalent file, so it gets concatenated to authorized_keys and then the server just needs to know to dredge the ID out from there and send it to a client in the new message.
Patreon has different plans which take anywhere from 5-12%. On top of that they charge payment processing fees and bank transfer fees. In terms of service you are getting nothing but a profile page. A flat 30% fee is considered standard for most online marketplaces.

Considering how much more complex and expensive video hosting is, and everything else YouTube offers, I don't think a 45% cut is unreasonable. In fact YouTube does have direct paid channel memberships (which is a much closer business model to Patreon), and for that they take 30%.
> AirTags are $25 each and free to operate, which means that Apple wants them to be ubiquitous — buy 10 or 20

Counting on lots of people spending $500 on AirTags is probably not a real master plan.
I think even with YouTube taking a large cut, people should really consider Premium if they use it a lot. It means that there will actually be something to back up the claim people make that they would pay to not have sites serve them ads.

Also Premium views are worth more to content creators than ad supported views, so it does help the people you love to watch. Not as much as through something like Patreon obviously, but it's a bit unreasonable to support every creator that way.

Analyzing the contribution of particular individuals gives us no insight here. Sure, iOS7 definitely happened because Forstal was fired and Ive put in charge. But Ive didn't personally design any of iOS7, he was guiding others.

Apple just purely politically decided to reject everything they've done up to that point and bite more than they can chew, in precisely the same way Apple NEVER DOES, and other companies, like Microsoft with Vista or Windows 8 for example, often do.

This was very uncharacteristic for Apple, and yes the aftermath is still present to this day. We're at iOS15 almost, and they're still scraping bits of shit that hit the fan in iOS7.

Also macOS is turning uglier by the minute.

> I feel a 45% cut to YouTube is too big

YouTube is offering up the tech behind streaming the videos, the storage, the bandwidth, the development work on both the client and server ends, and the ongoing payment processing. As well as the audience install-base. And this isn't a situation where the end users are paying for the software via buying hardware from Google (Pixels being the exception) like it would be with just an app store. YouTube provides far more than anyone else. And they make the money to do so via advertising. You're paying the money in place of YouTube's revenue stream in addition to the money going to the creators.

Patreon is mostly a payment processor and gatekeeper. They don't host videos or provide any of the other services mentioned above. To host videos, the creator pays another provider like Vimeo $84 a year for 5GB/week in uploads to $600 for unlimited video uploads. Live streaming is $900 a year.

That is a subjective opinion, not objective fact. I think it rolls nicely.
I suspect in the big picture this is not true.

The kind of people with disposable income to give for paid subscriptions are far better targets for nearly all adverts, since they are far more likely to buy the premium products that have a far larger and budget, and therefore give the creator more per impression.

I don't think YouTube reveals to creators enough information about which audience members generated which revenue for them to make that connection.
It's important to remember that these people are also the kind of industry personalities that would speak at and participate in a conference run by an organization in 2004 that backdoored their crypto products for government bribes.

I'm of the belief now that those associated with the RSA conference are more interested in the publicity/reach of the conference than anything technical.

If your statements are coming from experiences you’ve had in this culture, I’m very sorry. Their authority-centered and closed culture has sheltered many abusers. This is a serious ongoing problem, and I’m aware of many people who have suffered.

But to be clear: none of the religious practices of the Amish involve rape. The same weaknesses are present in many other similarly organized groups (see the ongoing scandals in the Catholic Church, less reported but similar patterns in southern Baptists, and even the military’s serious issues with sexual abuse).

Singling out the Amish and claiming that something they’re deeply ashamed of is the focal point of their religion is textbook hasty generalization and hyperbole.

Have you heard of intergenerational wealth, which is one of the issues described in the OP article? Then, have you further heard of redlining, Jim Crow, slavery, sharecropping, lynchings, hiring discrimination, justice system discrimination, police discrimination, urban ghettoization, locally-funded school districts based on local property taxes, code switching speech, cultural discrimination on styles of dress and hair, and the digital divide?

Would you like to take any guesses of any of those issues not being involved in poor members of minority groups remaining poor?

Some animals have learned that other animals will respond to their alarm calls, and they can use this to scare away those other animals. Here's a bird doing that to get meerkats to run away, leaving the food they just dug up for the bird to take [0].

I don't know what a doctor would say here. Just noting that medical jargon sometimes carries moral or legal tones independent of any actual medical distinction.

For instance if you're taking a legal drug that habituates you, they don't like calling you an addict, so you're experiencing cessation syndrome. A change in legal status of the drug would presumably lead to a terminology change.

And I'm not going to revisit DSM fights, but suffice to say, a number of changes made to certain diagnoses over time reveal more about sociopolitical changes than anything having to do with psychiatry.

You are really hung up on trying to reconcile that 'disability' has a different meaning in an English dictionary as from a court of law. In different contexts, the word will mean different things.

I have run this experiment in several communities, including Xbox Live (which is full of annoying teenagers). My experience wasn't much different from choosing my normal male-coded nicknames. Instead of assholes calling me, "fag", they called me "bitch". Also I got more comments related to sex instead of violence. I didn't keep track of actual numbers, but the amount of harassment and trolling I received felt about the same.

Apparently a Pew poll came to similar conclusions. The only area in which women reported significantly worse harassment was regarding stalking. On the other hand, men were almost twice as likely to be physically threatened. It really seems like a wash to me.[1]

I have no special knowledge, but I think it goes roughly like this:

- a few years ago, the previous head-of-staff ('christel') became an employee of Andrew Lee's company

- sometime last year they left the company and also stopped being active as a staff member

- the rest of the staff elected a new head ('tomaw')

- Andrew Lee didn't recognise tomaw as christel's successor (and maybe tried to appoint his own choice of successor)

So I think it isn't so much about anything Lee has done, so much as the fact that he's no longer taking a hands-off role, as (the staff apparently think) he promised.

Also perhaps that his claim to be in a position to take charge is based more on his ability to pay for lawyers than a solid legal foundation (it's clear that he bought something, but not so clear what, and not clear that it was the seller's to sell).

I think the underlying problem is that freenode's previous parent organisation was dissolved in 2013, apparently without setting up an official successor.

That is definitely a concern. I can’t even believe Chia is a real thing, heh.
I have never heard this take before, you actually think it's evil? Insidiously so? I honestly can't even conceive of what your argument is.

First off, the facts are a bit off, NFTs cannot currently contain hardcoded royalties (or whatever you call it). Right now it is voluntarily paid by the marketplaces that sell NFTs. But I think at some point it will evolve to be guaranteed. Sort of.

But either way, if it's all transparent, then why is it evil? Maybe it acts as a deterrent of sales in the future, but I like that it can be controlled by the creator. It's everyone else's choice on whether to buy it, or whether that constitutes ownership. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Evil? Really? I don't get it at all. Not one single iota. But, willing to hear your argument for that. "Hardcoding wealth inequality" is hardly an argument. It's not like there are a ton of people creating a new superclass of rich artists. There are a few, but that isn't the way it will shake out long term. At least, any more than traditional art.

Is all wealth inherently evil to you? Maybe that's your argument? I guess that's it?

On your "imagine if cryptocurrency started doing that", I am sure there are cases where this happens. ZCash is one where 10% of mined blocks go back to the original investors and founding team. Not sure how I feel about that, I do think it's high, but I certainly don't think it's evil. If people don't like it, they won't use it, and something will take its place. No biggie.

Serving videos without ads was how YouTube's monopoly was built. It became an ad platform later. That created an expectation that YouTube was a library in the public interest. Pre-2010 Google marketing had that public interest and internet stewardship angle to it.

Serving content over the web assumes that the content will be downloaded by a browser for rendering. Control over what and how that content gets rendered is controlled by the user. I think this aspect made, and still does make in the present tense, the web what it is. That's why the browser is called a user-agent--an agent that acts on behalf of the user.

YouTube could also move to another protocol, or develop a proprietary one to protect its interests. Otherwise it feels like they want to have their cake and eat it too.

The obscure parameters are usually obsolete, and were required because they were running the very latest versions of the software before the defaults matured. The blog was something like documentation at the time.

One thousand customers across the entire country isn't very impressive. Also, just because people signed up doesn't mean they aren't being screwed by having to take a one-way upgrade path that will leave them paying more after the gov't subsidy expires.
Well if most transactions don't require central override using a blockchain could prevent going through bureaucracy every time you want to transfer something.

Freenode is a volunteer-run organization, with some volunteers doing the work for better part of two decades. There is no unique technology behind it; it's a community that's been successful for many years thus far.

From what has been revealed, Lee wiggled himself in from conference sponsorship side. He used this inroad to strike a secret ownership deal with a person who the rest of the crew reckons was not in position to decide. Freenode is not a commercial enterprise. It's more like a community soccer club sold to a sponsor by a guy who happened to be a secretary with a stamp - after the years you've been tending the lawn and volunteering with training.

Yes, they are understandably pissed off, as one would be with hostile takeover by some renegade crypto prince (yes he really claims he's a prince).
SponsorBlock doesn't detect sponsored segments. Users mark the segments and submit them to a database.

If Google did try to automate it, you can be sure that people would just move to integrating the sponsorship into the content. Those are the worst kind of videos and I don't want to encourage more of them.
