I just tried to figure out what people actually watch on YouTube a couple of days ago without much luck. I came across some numbers but they only divided the videos into very broad categories like music, entertainment, education, and others or something like that. Is anybody aware of a more detailed look at this?
Really? I know of him as… Oz Trials, hobbyist computer magazines, publishing, lots of publishing, but digging holes and putting waste in it?
The phishing scenario in the article allows the malicious actor to impersonate the victim simultaneously, while asking the victim for any 2FA codes.

The attacker can be a man-in-the-middle and make the victim authorize a costly transaction (say $100), with the victim seeing a cost of $1.

These is an example video here:

Of course, the real transaction can be seen from the bank.
IMHO useful thoughts:

Leopold Kohr and Bertrand de Jouvenel had more detailed pertinent observations and thoughts.
> Can you elaborate a bit? Prophet can use MCMC sampling and includes uncertainty in its forecasts.

Prophet is a GAM (Generalised Additive Model). It decomposes time series in additive components: trend, seasonality, holidays and noise. Most
interesting time-series are not so simply decomposable. Making Prophet Bayesian and producing probabilistic forecast by MCMC sampling from trend/seasonality/holiday posteriors still
keeps its GAM structure. Might be for a simple exploratory analysis Prophet is a good go-to tool but all the research action is now in Deep Learning Forecasting Models.

Also, IMHO, Prophet deals with individual TS and teaching it to produce vector forecast for multiple TSes at the same time is tricky (or not even possible).
One thing the PS1 did have going for it was a MDEC jpeg decoder chip. Pretty much all of the FMV in PS1 games were MJPEG (a stream of independent jpegs). Between that and using the rasterizer to apply motion vectors and color interpolation, the machine was pretty well set up to do MPEG1.

The PS2 had an MDEC too. We used it in one game to do the pop-up talking head dialog between characters mid-gameplay with tiny RAM and CPU use.
Dunno why you are getting voted down but you are spot on. Mobile homes have MANY severe compromises to keep the weight down that this solution does not have to worry about.

It's laughable that people think they are even remotely comparable.
the control over matrix.org, the homeserver they administrate and they blocked other servers on.
matrix is so cool, unfortunately i don't have anyone to talk to lol
Having separate SSIDs for the two technologies is stupid in itself. In the majority of cases you're better off using the same SSID (and encryption settings) which means the client device can decide which one to use and whether to switch between the two.

There are cases where the client device stubbornly clings on to the 5Ghz network despite the signal being so terrible that no packets come through (more specifically, the packets from the access point to the device are still received, but the packets from the device to the access point are lost), but unless you've identified that you're in this case and can't mitigate it any other way you're still better off using a single SSID.
that statement is false for the majority of cotton clothing. from dyes to preservation or even agents that prevent wrinkles, a new cotton shirt can be blessed with a nice array of potentially carcinogenic substances. and since you mention the manufacturing process: look up some studies on the deaths and environmental havoc caused by pesticides used in cotton production. chemicals are everywhere.
> Put simply, it was supposed to be the one place where you could speak your beliefs freely, and, barring specific harm done to others, nobody could force you to do anything.

All of this was contextual. You could speak your beliefs freely as long as they were some kind of Christianity, nobody could force you to do anything unless you weren't a straight cis white man, etc.

For a long time our society was dominated by people for whom this was true, then suddenly all kinds of different people started having a voice:

- atheists and other non-Christians

- communists / marxists / anarchists

- women, people of color, LGBTQ people

And our society--predictably and not unlike many others--did a big "whoooooa no thank you" and people were imprisoned, beaten, murdered, disenfranchised, etc.

Or another way of putting it might be that when the Founders wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution/Bill of Rights, humanity had just barely invented the swivel chair, polite gentlemen drank coffee out of saucers, and phrenology was a _future_ theory. Mythologizing those times does a disservice to us in these times; the Founders were just weird people like all of us, with the attendant blind spots and potential for greatness.
Agreed about the extremeness of my case, although I would not call it as "obscenely obscure".
There are plenty of people who went from FAANG to tech jobs of lesser responsibility, maybe they don't work 10 hours a week but 20, maybe they are half of what they used to make (not my money - say from 500k to 250k), they have greatly reduced worked-related stress, they can play with their kids or partners, and they would not go back to back-stabber friendly meat-grinders.
I have conflicted feelings about this. Is it really a "mistake" if you don't understand some subtle context about artwork that would not be clear to the casual reader either? Or, as an art critic, is it your responsibility to be aware of all these subtexts, so you can educate your readers about them?

More broadly, does great art have to be immediately striking and accessible? If a piece of art resonates only with people who share the artist's context (like the mentioned punning pronunciation of "boy" in a given dialect), can a critic lacking that context review it, or a viewer appreciate it?

Nice! A similar extension is Stylebot (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylebot/oiaejidbm...) I use it for a few sites. Basically select "divs" with selectors and hide them with CSS.
Yes, and paper books go out of print.
Domain name registration is not their core business and their feature set is limited, as is their direct support for a lot of TLDs. It works well for a lot of people, which is fine but it is likely a loss-leader for them and treated as a user-acquisition channel.
> In at least one case[0], the management firm apparently thought the onus was on the licensee to proactively register each uploaded video with the management firm, which seems wrong to me.

I would have thought that would be a matter for the contract between the management firm and the licensee. It seems reasonable for a management firm to put such a requirement into a license if that's how they want to keep track of who not to file takedowns against.
This is the very immaturity I'm concerned about when people suggest moving our IRC groups to Matrix.
This morning at 5:30AM I got a call from a random HVAC service company. "Hi, [function_seven], this is Paul with ACME Heating and Cooling. You're requesting someone look at your system?"

I was barely awake, so I stammered, "huh? No I don't think so..."

Paul (Helpfully): "You filled a form out requesting this on our site?"

"No...?".

Then I started to wake up more and realize it was happening again. I must've pissed someone off somewhere a couple years ago, because I'm getting a lot of this. A hater is filling out online forms with my info. Every month I get a random call from a legitimate company responding to what I only assume is an item in their lead-gen pipeline. This morning was no different. The call came from a legit number for the HVAC company. I looked them up and they're highly-rated. But they're in Florida, I'm in California, so the 5:30am call time made sense.

Last month it was a therapist referral service in Ohio. They had my name, phone number, and email.

Elsewhere I'm constantly getting emails at an old gmail address for various shopping site "newsletters." From all over the world. A Spanish job search site in the UK. A sporting goods site in Colombia. Athletic wear from Ireland. In each case, the sites themselves are legit, but they don't do an email confirmation loop.

Should I keep Unsubscribing from these? Is there anything I can do to figure out who is doing this? I used to mess with scammers; I think I might regret that :)
They actively inhibited development of alternative energy sources by lying to and manipulating the public and politicians for decades. Fuck. That. Shit.

Quit simping for multi billion dollar corporations who have been actively engaged in the destruction of our ecosystem. There are other way to meet our energy needs, and we could have been working on this issue much earlier if it weren't for their interference.
That's for removing a server level block if it was imposed at the height.
Have you considered taking up programming now? In many ways, age is just a number.
There are some arbitrary lines being drawn here. Is 62 miles really space? Or maybe it's 100 kilometers? So maybe "top" is kind of arbitrary too. Maybe it means 1st through 5th? Or maybe down to 10th? Or all but the last one?
I've got a personal email from a manager at AWS still sitting in my inbox, and I don't want to reply to it because I have heard so many horror stories from former Amazon employees.

When your reputation in the industry is so bad that potential hires don't even want to start a conversation with you, then you definitely have a problem as an employer. With this new principle, perhaps Amazon is recognizing this as a real problem with respect to recruitment and retention of people with experience.
As someone who's done a ton of JS/TS development, for browsers and Node, I thought the principle the entire ecosystem was based on was up-to-the-minute crowdsourcing of not only a standard lib, but also 90% of your basic tools and about half of what ought to be language features. Not relying on automated systems to cancel out the mistakes of automated systems.
They have money.
Thank you Ted.

I wanted to also mention that I appreciate what you and everyone at Namecheap do and the transparency when fighting things.

My thought is that if I can't find work as a contractor then I'd have as little chance at finding work at a company, so it may be time to retrain anyway.

I am assuming you're a software developer, I'm by no means an expert on contracting, but my two recommendations are: Specialize in a domain, and stay on the technology bandwagon. You can't pin your career on a technology, they go obsolete too fast, but you can specialize in an industry domain.

I specialized in eCommerce, and I've had to use dozens of different technologies, each project brings in a new tech stack and a new set of idioms. I have a friend in motorsport/automotive software, which is an exciting field by the sounds of it. There are dozens of industries that need software but aren't solely software companies, and I think that's where much contract work is.

I am ideologically against the rapid technology swapping our industry loves, I really prefer to dig in deep to a framework or stack, but this is work so I keep my eyes up and forward. Sometimes all you need is to recognize the buzzword, say "Yep I've heard of that", then go home and do some research to make sure you can pull it off before accepting the contract.

I think we can have capitalism(-ish) economies without outright exploitation. I don't even think it's necessarily that hard: we already have a powerful government that can step in and say "you're just being evil, quit it". It's just that we choose not to.

Actually, recently I've been thinking that our legalistic attitude towards a lot of these problems is actually the core issue. "It's legal so therefore we can do it". Well, okay, but that doesn't mean it's ethical. On the other hand we also don't want a government that can make arbitrary decisions on what is or isn't "ethical", but I do think a lot of problems could be solved if we would just focus more on what "the right thing" would be rather on that what is legal by the letter of the law. This is a thought I only had the other day and haven't fully fleshed out my thoughts on this yet though.

What you're describing sounds like "democratic communism", and that didn't really work out especially well in the past. A lot of communist countries started out with democratic aspirations; "any country with the word democratic in the name isn't democratic" is an old joke, but it's also true.

Even if we manage to avoid the "tyrant problem" we're still left with a central planning that may not necessarily make the best decisions, and I'm not so confident that any democratic controls we put in place would correct for that. A significant amount of China's problems in the 50s-70s for example weren't out of sheer tyrannical malice like in Stalinist Russia, but just gross incompetence of the leadership. Not a "democratically planned" economy, granted, but still an important lesson to heed IMHO: when a centrally planned economy screw up the effects can be disastrous.
At least having the principles published invites internal and external stakeholders to hold Amazon accountable to them.
You're using YouTube wrong. I dunno.

For me, YouTube serves me up so much educational content i want to watch that there is over 100 hours of content in my Watch Later. And i do very often go through the videos it gives me but it never ends.

YouTube is a tool, you have to do a bit of curation so it learns what you like and dislike, and then it just delivers an unending firehose of content matching that. And if what you like is educational content, boy is there a lot of it available.

> The speed you'll get on 3G (and probably even 4G) today is much slower than you used to get when those technologies were new.

Also keep in mind that back in the early 3G days your phone didn't send megabytes worth of analytics data. Back then if an app merely tried to access the internet you'd get a prompt enforced by the OS (and probably a bill from the carrier) and so bandwidth was definitely not wasted on analytics and other "growth and engagement" crap.

I feel this. I feel like a decade ago, video suggestions where based on what you were currently watching and you could find tiny channels and new content easily.

Nowadays the suggestions are basically 1/2 videos I have seen and 1/2 videos that are either big youtubers or I have subscribed to.

No going down the rabbit hole to find new stuff unless you search yourself.
The Earth is opaque. I don’t have a source to cite for this, but I think you can check it easily enough.
Since we are at the topic of Cloudflare captchas, Namecheaps blog rss feed is "protected" by a captcha as well, defeating the purpose of a rss feed.
Invoking principles like this can be healthy, but it also has a downside. At another FAANG, there was quite a discussion at one point about "weaponizing" such principles against other people - especially "assume good intent" when lack of same was clearly evident. My take is that these principles are things for people to apply to themselves and everyone should be very wary when they're imposed on others.
Exactly. Depends how you define legacy registrars but I can agree with you to an extent. Namecheap's retail pricing is not excessive by any means — domains on their own are essentially commoditized — it all depends how much you value service and trust. Try calling Google if your domain is hijacked, your account is locked, or you have any number of other issues with a high value domain.

>The default position is to just not bother shifting away from the inevitable path to failure, because letting it fail might be an easier way towards creating consensus for a solution than trying to avert the failure. If the system fails because of collective inaction, no faction can be directly blamed for the failure (so the thinking goes).

This describes the EU better than the US. The Eurozone in its current state is incomplete. It can't work the way it is currently set up. It's failure is inevitable. There are opportunities to build the most advanced monetary union in the world but nobody is taking them. Governments collectively decide to do nothing except wait for things to get better. Of course there are institutions that have to face reality. Some of those institutions cannot just wait, in fact they are forbidden from waiting. What happens is that the central bank now has responsibilities that in an ideal world no central bank should have to take on. They do it (the futile attempt to save the euro) because they are the last entity that is responsible for the system as a whole.

It's similar to that article that said engineers should solve climate change through engineering and bypass politics. Our central bankers should solve the Eurocrisis (it's ghost is still here haunting us) through monetary policy and bypass politics. What good are politicians nowadays if all we ever do is ignore them through loopholes/escape hatches? Sure, having escape hatches is good but relying on them is bad.

The US is in a different position. Politicians are doing something, they are addressing problems, maybe in an incompetent/biased way with some collateral damage over the short term but you can bet that they are setting the stage for good years to come. For the US the pandemic is merely the end of the bad days. Meanwhile in the EU it is business as usual.

Trump tried to support low skill jobs in the US with the trade war. Biden is creating infrastructure jobs that cannot be moved overseas. Both have the same idea but they execute them in different ways.
And as a reminder, QEMU was originally created by Fabrice Bellard.
