I think you're missing the point. According to TFA, the YouTube algorithm likes content that breaks their policies very much:

Recommended videos were 40% times more likely to be regretted than videos searched for.

In 43.6% of cases where Mozilla had data about videos a volunteer watched before a regret, the recommendation was completely unrelated to the previous videos that the volunteer watched.

YouTube Regrets tend to perform extremely well on the platform, with reported videos acquiring 70% more views per day than other videos watched by volunteers.

So it's not that the algorithm is just "blind" to content that breaks their policies, it seems to prefer them over other content.
I believe that Chinese-Americans have a reason to support the right's tough stance on China. Let's ask Eric Swalwell & Fang Fang.

I also believe most are just normal Americans that happen to also be conservative. It's a thing, doesn't have to be a big conspiracy.

I also don't view it as an "unfortunate nexus" as I don't view being on the right a bad thing.

I welcome anyone to be a conservative, including Chinese-Americans.
You should read the other HN threads on this subject. There is a case for fair use, so it will have to be tested in the courts. Expect that to take many years.
Founder of JuiceFS is here, we could like to here more feedback from community.

JuiceFS have made lots of improvements since open sourced in Jan 2021[1]. For example, people were concerning on persistency of Redis, so we added PostgreSQL and MySQL as meta engines, are working added support FoundationDB also.

There are several companies using it in production already, more people are evaluating it[2].

How is any of what you described different from the situation today? Except that said URL won't contain a TwitFace domain name if they don't want you on their platform.

Is the domain name really that important, so long as the content is available?
A ton of laws are written to accommodate the resource of the companies/individuals subjected to them. You're not subject to the same paperwork if you have 2 employees or 2000.

Now to be honest, I am not sure why startups and teenagers shouldn't be punished if there is proof of willfully crossing the line where users get harmed. Feels to me like arguing that food poisoning shouldn't be criminalized because lemonade stands won't have the means to comply.
to be "self contradictory" the self word must apply. So these statements have to be understood to be articulated if not at the same time (the ideal) then by the same people.

The contradiction here is that the same people espouse contradictory views, seeing both as butressing their view.

That statements contradict each other is not unusual. Sometimes in the social domain, the "facts" are opinions. These tend to be oppositional (contradictory) from the same underlying information which is the underlying factual basis. But, are espoused by different people. Thats not the kind of contradiction here: This one, is the bizarre world of the people who can hold two oppositional "facts" (questionable) at the same time, and BOTH justify (questionable) their point of view.

For the other kind of contradiction:
I think C19 is "perfectly" adapted to invade human hosts. Does this mean I think its manufactured? No. I see this as evolution. But from the same belief, "its perfect" an oppositional view goes to "its TOO perfect" and then goes to "because its SO perfect, it must be manufactured AHA"

Was my use of the word "perfect" unwise? Yes. But, this is none the less what I think. Like many things in Evolution, its outcome is a messy, minimum-necessary achievable function of gene expression and gene mutation which arrived at a place well suited to modern mankind as a host, and with the right biomechanical behaviours (how fatal, how long it persists as an aerosol, how infectious it is, how long it survives, none of which require "intentionality" so behavuour is also perhaps the wrong word here...) to spread wide. From the virus' perspective, this is a pretty good outcome. No human gain-of-function agency is neccessary to do this: just, statistics, and a lot of virus.

For somebody deeply wedded to Lab-made, the same thing is "evidence" of need of mans hand. Go figure.
And I'll reiterate: Just because "everyone is doing it" does not make it worth doing just to fit in.

I urge you to consider that fitting into the culture isn't worth it if the culture is bad. You may not see the culture's taste in music as bad, which is fair, but I am sure in other cultures (say in highly restrictive and conservative cultures) you'd be ashamed to be culturally literate (antebellum south? Jim Crow era?).
And in other parts of the world, they just pay monthly. Avoids that problem...
Sounds like right wing content is being equated with extremism.
> building clones is still possible for users but less convenient for companies.

That's a pretty charitable way to phrase it. I would think companies looking to make clones have the expertise and can afford to take the effort to recreate the PCB layouts from the schematics, but normal users are denied the opportunity to learn from it.

It's a small roadblock to commercial clones, but a complex gate to the average user looking to learn.
Apart from the problem of claiming Arduino endorsement, they do add value:

they "make a buck" by organizing the production & sales of a product at a more competitive price. It puts an educational board in the hands of people that might not otherwise afford it: On small school budgets a STEM program might not be able to afford $20 for 500 students each year, while $5 is easier to manage. Or it might mean the program can afford both a cheap Arduino clone and cheap Pi Zeros to learn development at multiple levels and different languages.
Nope, you can’t actually do that on the internet at large. Yes, the RFC exists, but your ISP and their upstream will often ignore or even drop those packets.

Also, SSR doesn’t involve geography - IPs and ASNs can move.
He could just have done that using phone calls or standard mail. The government handles those cases, we don't expect phone or post companies to inspect what we send and ban us if they don't like what we send.
Even if that was true (and you have no evidence of it), nothing he said in those videos was wrong. And his video about MuseScore was not very complimentary; he called it a “dog’s dinner”.

But to address the wider point, the same complaint could be made about anything anyone ever wrote anything for money. Since some works written for money have lasting merit, the mere fact that something was written for money should not count against it.
I was replying to my posts parent who brought up the word violate, not your post.
> be able to deliver enough good content that users want

> Is this really what we want?

There is a pretty simple solution to this. Leave these decisions in the hands of an individual user's choice.

I am sure that there would be some kinks that need to be worked out. But coming at these problems from the perspective of allowing a user to choose different spam/block parameters or algorithms, of their own choice, and letting the market decide what users really want.

I am sure that most people would voluntarily choose certain general spam blocking settings, without the need for the platform to make every decision for the user.

In NYC my experience is that the equity vests in four years, with one year "cliffs" for four years. The three-year, the "monthly", the other stuff I hear about is fantastical to me. And the equity isn't ever really life-altering.

Maybe I'm on the wrong coast?
Sorry, the Unity crowd calls the browser target "WebGL". Yeah it's a bit silly but such is life.

It's not that you need to care about WebGL-the-technology for your networking, but that there are no provided tools to use, say, WebSockets, when creating games that will run on the browser.

Sure, you could use WebSockets through JS interop and create your own socket library encapsulating that, but it's hella annoying.
[game author here] Politically, eradication was never a real option in Czechia.

Improved contact tracing and testing is something we and the experts we worked with strongly supported. And we did
consider adding them to the game. At the end, these features ended on the "cutting floor". We felt these features would a) be complicating the game too much b) they would lead to an optimal strategy too far away from what the the real country was doing. Unfortunately, real Czechia didn't use summer and fall 2020 to implement these "smart measures". In winter 2020/2021 only crude restrictive measures were available to manage the incoming virus surge.
Using users to sandbox processes is a hack that has never worked well and is only successful when combined with lots of other sandbox technologies such as jails, SELinix or AppArmor.

Before 2020, I would never have though "government being overthrown" was a realistic potential outcome of implementing sensible public health policy during a deadly worldwide pandemic, but here we are.

EDIT: Just tried the game: The more you do to help people, and the more lives you save, the angrier they get. The people are the happiest if you let 10% of them die. It doesn't make any sense, but then again, the last 18 months have not made a lot of sense either.
I've been forced out of homes I loved multiple times, because I can't afford to buy even though I'm working my ass off[1] at a job that pays far above average, and a big part of that is people who bought when it was cheap but won't sell at any price. So yeah, when the idle rich complain that they need a tax break so that they don't have to go through the same thing that I do and can keep piling it all on me instead, cry me a river.

This extremely unlikely situation hinges on profound wealth inequality. Only someone staggeringly, fantastically, mind-bogglingly rich (and also completely nuts) would blow 5 million on eating a human arm. And only someone who is really struggling in life would contemplate such a huge sacrifice for mere money. Since the actual variation in human ability, and therefore economic potential, follows a tame bell curve as opposed to the radically skewed distribution of wealth that this scenario requires (and that we actually see), this represents a market inefficiency. If we permit this transaction to take place, the economic potential of the formerly-armed takes a huge hit, while Cannibal Jeff Bezos does not enjoy a corresponding gain. Thus not only is the transaction negative-sum, but the inequality (and hence the inefficiency) is exacerbated.

Sometime around 1980 I flew to Portland in a Cessna 172 to visit my family. I landed at Troutdale because who wants to deal with the traffic at PDX?

I'd called my mom from my refueling stop to give her an ETA and where to meet me. She parked her car on the wrong side of the runway, but why would that stop anyone?

As I taxied to the tiedown, I heard on the radio "Cessna 543 Whiskey Zulu, go around, woman crossing the runway."
I do regard it as deeply unfortunate because it has fuelled oppositional politics between the US and China which is unhelpful in the medium-short term. And, because it aligns to views I disagree with like constraints on womens reproductive rights (I believe this is a fundamental human right) and views on religion which I dislike intensely. So I see a very unfortunate nexus of China-as-a-state political-hate, pentecostalism, anti-abortion views.

There are very few organized socialist chinese-americans in the press right now. So, this is pretty one-sided because I believe underneath the "race" side of things, a lot of people in the chinese community probably believe in what I call socialism here: Basic human rights, and social services. The US right wing is fighting to remove these, and remove basic human rights like abortion.

So yes. To me? this is very unfortunate. As to the conspiracy side, well, Q gotta Q. But I would worry there is a tendency to agglomerate into these cesspits of political lunacy, to leverage it for short-term gain.

Say I go over to Fred, and ask him for a book recommendation. I've known Fred for a while, and he's given me good book recommendations in the past, so I usually listen to what he says. Except this time, Fred says that the book I'm most likely to enjoy is Mein Kampf. I'm flabbergasted, because this doesn't sound like the Fred I know. Fred says that he has no idea what the book is about, but there's a small number of people who vigorously recommend it, and they're just so gosh-darned enthusiastic about it that now he's recommending it to anybody with even the slightest amount of interest in politics. He knows that I just read Elie Wiesel's Night, so it seemed right up my alley to Fred.

Swap out "Youtube" for "Fred", and maybe that helps to show the issue. I'm not making an exaggeration here. Youtube has recommended that I watch Nazi propaganda, because I had just recently watched videos debunking those exact propaganda films.

When "recommendations" become "recommendation engines", and the human steps out of the loop, the recommender still has a moral responsibility for the things they recommend. Without a human in the loop, it's a lot easier to close one's eyes to that responsibility. Maybe the solution is to go back to things that don't scale, and keep humans in the loop. Maybe the solution is to spend just as much effort on the quality of the recommendations as the addictiveness of the recommendations. But the current state is not sustainable.
It's my personal belief that these massive R&D space telescope programs are nearing their end. Computational approaches among multiple sensors, combined with good 'ol factory mass manufacturing powered by low-cost reusable launch technology allows for the money spent on one-shot programs like this to be spent and allocated in radical different ways.

Instead of building one huge short life-span spacecraft, why not launch hundreds or thousands of lower cost, less capable birds incrementally? You can start with a small "first light" capable instrument with a dozen or so spacecraft, then over time and more launches put up more and more capability and decommission failed or low capability pieces.

Use some computational methods to combine the sensor collection from dozens, hundreds, or thousands of these kinds of spacecraft and you could end up with planet sized instruments pretty efficiently.

By eliminating lots of the hard engineering for the massive instruments (like serviceability, difficult to make massive mirrors, etc) you can build even better instruments that are generational and relatively inexpensive.

You get a more flexible funding story as well, e.g. fund at maintenance levels during difficult economic times and fund at larger amounts during boom times with matching launch schedules.

Tasking the fleet could be more dynamic as well, with different researchers able to reserve different percentages of a huge fleet for their specific experiments and needs -- e.g. reserve a hundred spacecraft for a long dwell "deep field" type observation, or reserve thousands for planetary imaging in a nearby solar system.

I know there are naysayers about this who think it's improbable. I urge those to think about the Starlink fleet, which went from zero birds in the air in 2015 to over 1500 spacecraft today. Now instead of radio antenna, what if they had imaging sensors and were turned to face out? SpaceX certainly didn't spend anywhere near what JWST ran as a program to reach this point and the development time has been a fraction so far.
Hi, game author here.

First, this URL https://covidgame.info/ loads the game in English by default. There was a plan to popularize the game outside of Czechia but, frankly, we missed the window when major news outlets were interested.

I think we must have different understandings of what causes power struggles within leadership. The comparison to the 1953-1956 period in the USSR also feels a bit misplaced to me, as although there was a minor power struggle during that period, it didn’t have broad implications the way the death of Mao did. (I also don’t agree that the structure of the CPC is all that similar to the structure of the CPSU during Stalin’s leadership, but that’s not of much relevance in my mind.)

RE: the PLA and the party membership, I was referring to changes that mostly took place during the 1990s, which had much broader implications on the locations of structural power within the PRC than anything that’s been done in the last decade.

Sure, that's plausible, but it seems equally likely that Youtube _can_ detect videos that violate their policy and yet chooses to wait until they get some threshold of reports/media attention because those videos are also very engaging. Having the policy allows them to react when they get pressure without impacting the bottom line.
Naive question here. Given that there's a long-term cap gains consideration, if the company has a strong likelihood (call it greater than 50% chance) of IPO isn't it better to exercise ASAP so the shares are kept more than 12 months in time for the IPO+lockup event?

What's the real advantage of waiting to exercise, to make sure that the stock will be worth something versus wasting your call option costs? How high are these strike prices that people are holding out?

Again, I've some, but limited (but very different) experience here with equity grants and options.

I fully agree, my first gut reaction every time I read an update about the JWST is fear that something will go wrong. I hope they take all the time needed to get it right.

I do also wonder if interactions with air / moisture / dust will degrade the components faster than they would wear out in space, the longer it's here on Earth? I'm guessing this is all accounted for too, just crazy to think of all the variables at play in the success of a project like this.

I found that fully closing schools works better than closing high-risk, and you can leave business fully open for significant periods. My best is 2,582 deaths at a cost of 385B. https://koronahra.cz/results/60e6550661cdc10019e509ce

Masks and max 10 stay on the whole time. I close unis at +100 infections, close all schools at +200, close high-risk at +400, and essentials only at +800. Ease up on the restrictions when infections go down. I ignored those breakpoints and left things as open as possible during the warm weather period, since you can safely do that as long as you kept the initial outbreak under control.

Edit: 2,112 deaths at 380B, just targeting +75/+150/+300/+600: https://koronahra.cz/results/60e65b5dfecc84001a33a3a3

That assumed COVID surge will likely not be evenly distributed nationally. The situation will depend on local vaccination rates. Here in Seattle, where the tech companies are planning to open offices, the vaccination rate is high and the risk of infection is low. That kind of correlation between tech company offices and high vaccination rate likely applies in most other tech hotspots. Our company does have smaller offices in other states where the vaccination rate is not so good and they may watch the local risk as they decide to open the offices.
