>In general, when we use someone's platform to publish, we give up control. People continually rediscover this fact.

In broad strokes : you're right.

For the sake of a bit more nuance, i'd like to add that 'the control' isn't just given up by the user. 'The control' is promised by providers, and then slowly dwindled until some threshold is met where users are lost to competitors.

YouTube became popular because it gave creators just enough independence, while handling the technical stuff for them.

Now that the technical part is becoming increasingly easy to deal with, it stands to reason that YouTube must become more flexible, or lose market share.

Will G/YT be flexible enough to keep everyone happy enough to exist within their walled garden? Personally, I don't think so -- and people like the parent article are proving that point by packing up and taking their data elsewhere.

Discoverability is becoming less and less of an issue due to the pervasiveness of many different types and styles of social media; IMO that's YT's big advantage and I feel with anti-creator stuff like this stuff, along with YTs recommender being one of the biggest industry in-jokes on the planet -- they really squandered that advantage.
It's not a "rip-off" - it's a derivative. "Patcher" was Miller Puckette's original (internal) name for Max, and there has been an open-source line of the family for 25 years in Pure Data. You can read the history by the man himself here: http://msp.ucsd.edu/Publications/dartmouth-reprint.dir/

Calling it a rip-off is like calling Guille a rip off of Scheme.
This seems a lot better than just letting the internet provider give a regular DNS

Why? You're already using your internet provider, so you trust them. Otherwise you wouldn't use them.
Thanks for the link, I've been thinking a lot about this lately. Like:

- Why can Trump write off a $70k haircut but I can't write off a $35 haircut?

- Why can my employer buy my laptop, and I can use it in my off time for video games but if I buy a laptop, even to help with say an LLC I might own, I can only write off the 'portion' used for work?

- Why can my employer buy us lunch but if I work on my own I can't write off a meal except under specific circumstances?

At what point is a corporation able to do the above? Can other normal citizens also do it or is the system kinda rigged against us (even if unintentionally)?
Satire does not usually fall under libel/defamation, though, right?

>For example, in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell (1988), Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, writing for a unanimous court, stated that a parody depicting the Reverend Jerry Falwell as a drunken, incestuous son could not be defamation since it was an obvious parody, not intended as a statement of fact. To find otherwise, the Court said, was to endanger First Amendment protection for every artist, political cartoonist, and comedian who used satire to criticize public figures.

I think all geo-engineering is a bad idea. The least worse idea is sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere.

If they monetized they'd cease being simple because it'd be less profitable than implementing user-hostile "engagement" practices.
Others might simply refuse to take advantage of a loophole they don't consider right. People rallying under the "avoidance is not evasion" flag rarely seem to be terribly far from not minding a little taxdodging if they knew they wouldn't get caught, despite all their claims to never go beyond avoidance, but there are many who are not in that camp.

Has there ever been a state in recent history that simply refused to start the deduction game?
There is no need to compare. The issue is that there is no safe anything.
S3 can make sense for lightweight hosting of media files. I pay less than I would for a VPS. That said, if I were starting from scratch, I'd probably use Backblaze B2 because I believe they let you set hard quotas.

But, yes, in general for an individual hobby site, I'd choose an option that resulted in a hug of death rather than a big bill.
You will soon realize that both sets of hours you mentioned are rediculous. Unless you have an equity stake that number of hours worked is a result of pressure and manipulation. It takes years of practice to deprogram and learn how to enjoy life post-calvanist/protestant/boss-worker brainwashing.
You can start an s-Corp, and as an employee of the Corp, you pay yourself a reasonable salary. Say 40% of gross (you'll pay social security, unemployment, etc as an employee drawing a salary).

Then as the owner of the Corp, your compensation gets distributed as a dividend. With a dividend, you don't pay taxes on FICA.

You'll save ~15% in taxes.

You could do this with a simple s-Corp created with LegalZoom. $400.

Lyft drivers can drive as an S-Corp if they wish.

It’s not that exclusive.

See marijuana if you believe regulators will actually listen to a preponderance of evidence. FDA/pharma executives are a revolving door, and therefore concerned chiefly with the health of pharma rather than humans.
I like Blendle for the occasional paywalled news article I really want to read. But, yeah, mostly I just bounce if something’s not free and, I think people need to be honest with themselves about the consequences of removing ads from the internet: it’ll be significantly harder for new sites to both be profitable and attract an audience and they’ll have to choose between giving away unmonetized content to attract people and putting content behind some sort of paywall so that they can cover their operational costs.

We’re already starting to see this model with Substack and Medium, and I’m not sure if it’s a better model, or just a different one.
> People who employ them often assume they’re fine because they haven’t been audited or caught yet, but that doesn’t make them legal.

There's also the pack effect. Kind of like how few folks taking the EITC actively trade stock, it looks 'normal' for rich people to do these things, whereas the same device when used by someone of more modest means is more likely to attract attention.

Not to mention having fewer resources to fight if you are audited.
I'd hope your PiHole at least resolves over DoH... if not consider AdGuard Home instead
Maybe browsers should looking at adding a "create account" API or something? Similar to "Login with Apple ID", but instead password managers could hook into it and create an account semi-automatically. This could also allow automation of "user+sitename@domain.com"-style rules.

I know that creating an account isn't adding _much_ friction, but there is some and I could see myself appreciating this.
There's a small cost of keeping your computer on 24/7 if you aren't using a pinning service, but it can be pretty cheap if you use something like a raspberry pi

But methods matter. How many politicians in the US or Europe have been poisoned by the state in the last decade? Don't you think there are politicians that the government would rather didn't exist? Yet they don't kill them or fabricate charges.

It is ridiculous to compare liberal democracies with autocratic regimes.

But it is true that we really need to keep our guard up to retain our liberal democracies, they are being attacked form within as well as outside.
this is the shittiest take.

> Ministers back down after hundreds of government offices insist banishing fax would be impossible

That is the problem of having a system that works. It is expensive to replace, a pain to learn for users and difficult to justify the initial investment.

Even if long-term, obviously, digital signatures and electronic mail will be a better system, that initial cost overshadows future gains.

> Japanese ministries and agencies use faxes when handling highly confidential information, including court procedures and police work, and the Hokkaido Shimbun said there were fears that exclusively online communication would result in security lapses.

And, they are not wrong. The simplicity of a one-to-one communication makes it harder to misuse. Efficiency usually is an antitheses to safety.

The digitization of Japan is inevitable. But, it is going to take a long time until a new system has the trust, the user-base and acceptance of the old fax one.
The fact that x1 is \y -> (y, y) is superficial, though. Something like x1 = Just also increases exponentially, and makes clear that using a deduplicated DAG for representing type terms doesn't solve this.

> The blockchain, on the other hand, was invented to keep track of who owns that. That's its only purpose.

Well.. its purpose is to enable transactions between people, and not keep track of legal ownership of things. In fact, these networks usually don't make any claim about who legally owns anything: only about who controls something (i.e. who owns it within the system, not who owns it in the legal sense).

Does physical cash keep track of who actually owns it (and not just "who posesses it")? No. Does that make it useless or fatally flawed for the purpose of "value exchange"? Not really.

If you receive a 10 USD bill from someone as payment, you have to assume that they own that bill (and didn't just steal from anyone else). The bill itself doesn't enforce property law.

Furthermore, if you have lax security and a pickpocket takes your wallet (with 500 USD inside), you also have little recourse or method to enforce your ownership of the stolen cash. In fact, you probably even have less recourse than with things on blockchains: there's no way of tracking where cash goes, after someone steals it from you.

Is the fact that "cash" doesn't encode/enforce your property rights over it a problem that prevents "cash" from being effectively used a medium of value exchange between people? As far as I can tell, no.

Just like with "blockchains", if someone steals your cash, or anything else, you need to go to a court to get things fixed.

I understand your argument and accept that such properties of the system could be seen as "design flaws" (though... how could you even fix such design flaws? "law" is not a formal system). On the other hand, if such properties were "fatal design flaws" (for the purpose of a system of value exchange between economical agents), then plain vanilla cash is just as flawed, if not more (since it does not encode or enforce your property rights, and it's even less traceable than blockchain "assets").
> The farmers protests were allegedly detrimental to the sovereignty and security of India and so it makes sense to ban those kinds of hastags.

Why? How does a hashtag impact a country's sovereignty or security?

IMO if they're not respecting technical constraints then they are incompetent. Good UX people I've worked with not only worked closely with developers to understand technical constraints, but developed a good understanding of the platforms we working with in their own right such that they would often pick up these issues themselves if they'd come across them before.
Last two hours I am looking how points on this post going up and down, and only think I can think is - how divided people are about something this is so crucial for their survival.

Shameless plug of Semgrep, a project I'm working on:

I just wrote this Semgrep rule in 45 seconds which replicates the TC201 rule from tryceratops: https://semgrep.dev/s/underyx:tc201

Writing this rule was definitely easier than writing a new linter package, but also easier than writing a custom pylint or flake8 plugin.

Message to OP: we are working on making Semgrep's rule registry (https://semgrep.dev/explore) a much more community-centric place. Our vision is that just like you could publish the GitHub repo of guilatrova/tryceratops, you could publish a set of Semgrep rules under your name and brand. Semgrep users could then find and use your lightweight "linter" via the registry. If you're interested in being one of the first authors to publish on the Semgrep Registry, please reach out at bence@returntocorp.com!
Here's one - a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) allows you to donate your wealth, get a tax deduction on it and setup an income stream from it for as long as you're alive before the funds go to charity. This is highly simplified, but it's a way to avoid capital gains on your wealth and costs ~$3K to setup and doesn't require much "wealth" to begin with. How many people know about this? Probably very few. And that's my point.
If the website is "hugged", nobody can reach the page with the javascript to make WebRTC connections. People tend to close the window after they're done watching anyway, which sort of negates the whole concept.
Adjusting the volume on the touchbar for me is very stressful. I have to look down and aim very carefully to find the button. The buttons still don’t make sense to me, I know there’s a visual indication when I’m muted, but there’s also a button to mute, and I’m not sure what I’m looking at. Then I have to tap and wait until I have visual confirmation that I have the grabber. Then I can adjust and hope I don’t confuse the trackpad by moving my finger at slightly the wrong angle. Then I have to pray that it doesn’t crash the touchbar, which seems to happen ~50% of the time.

Adjusting volume on my new MBP has been a nightmare compared to my old MBA.

I actually added the volume control to the menu bar because, while slower to operate, that seems less likely to crash.
I mean, that shouldn't be hard to answer, should it?

We can't predict the exact outcome, and risk taking on even bigger problems. Those kinds of events tend to cause crop failures and famine.

Recently, some people were trying to tell me that ads are entirely controlled by the video uploader, when I brought up some videos that clearly had way more ads than any content creator would reasonably allow.
APL is not at all a symbolic language. It's more like an imperative language with fancy builtins and pretty syntax.

My searches for "graph computation" lead me to think that's just another name for an AST (a very simple one, but one nonetheless), which is what the blog is creating. An implementation could certainly make optimized code for AST subtrees, but it's a lot of complexity.
I'm pleasantly surprised how good Odysee's UX is, for the viewer anyway.
ML is a subset of AI, in any defintion that I've seen. And both are needlessly anthropomorphizing what are currently simple statistical or rule-based deduction engines.

I would not characterize it as a very small step, although I do acknowledge the line of reasoning could lead to forcible euthanizing.

It takes orders of more resources to support people in the last weeks or days of their life. It is possible that such a huge portion of resources of society can go towards providing a very marginal benefit, that it is not worth it anymore.

I struggle to see why I should not take myself out when I will need to have constant attention from someone younger and more able. Obviously, the will to live is a powerful one and walking the walk is surely harder than just talk, but I would not want my kids to spend their time wiping my ass, and I certainly would not want a stranger to when they could be doing something else.

> I wonder at what point we as internet users will decide that we're willing to pay for services in order to maintain more control?

You can already do this at Vimeo. I guess we should look at how well they are doing with that. (That's not leading; I don't know.)
maybe you are correct, but i would agree that it's formulated in a childish/evil spirited way. It smells of outrage hype and cancel culture.
Cloudflare does some caching, in my experience up to a week, and pinata.cloud (pinning service) has a great free tier and API.
Not with a TCP proxy. To establish a HTTPS tunnel, the client needs to know the identity of the remote end for certificate validation. Randomizing remote ends with a naive proxy would lead to TLS errors.

So you'd likely configure your browser to do DoH destined for that proxy, and have the proxy generate DoH requests to the remote ends. The downside is you'd have to somewhat manually set up certificate trust between your client and your proxy - either by trusting the proxy's certificate, or installing a root CA that issues the proxy's certificate in your browser's trust store.
Putting aside the absurd nitpick on the "Sub-" prefix (everyone understands that this refers to "South" and not some position on a hierarchy).

Isn't Asia Minor a bit more than half of Turkey? It's certainly not a majority of all of Asia...

A lot of times you don't really have a choice which ISP to use so that's not really a good argument.
That is a funny idea. Personally, too much work for me, and Copilot probably generates subtly wrong code already.

Are you sure about that? I reckon a lot of people didn't know it existed.
fear of unintended consequences, i imagine. unless it goes off without a hitch, there will be much blame.

for me, it's a conversation of responsibility. its obvious that we (as a species) have not been responsible with the resources of this planet (see consumer culture, disposal culture, and planned obsolescence). it makes more sense to attack the problem at its causes rather than band aids.
I've seen what happens when computer scientists go off on their own and design a user-centric product. Trust me, its good to have an 'artsy type'. I worked on a project with some pretty 'famous' CS guys (obviously relative to the field) and their form of documentation were essentially quizzes for the users to work through. Practically an end of term exam. It was crazy.
>> What does he expect for a site that serves his videos for free, not to mention recommends them to people as well to get a wider audience?

Lets turn that around. YouTube is a huge content provider that has 100 percent of their content provided FOR FREE and they feel that they can "monetize" it any way they see fit. There needs to be some balance. If enough people leave like this, there will be a credible competitor to YouTube and they'll never get those people back. Better yet, self hosting and federated services will start to become a thing and that could be an existential threat to Google itself.

But sure, they are free to do what they like on their platform. Doesn't mean it's always the best thing to do.
PHP is already written in C and can be quite secure when following best practices (as with any language), so I'm not sure why an additional PHP extension written in C would be a red flag?

Note that Phalcon is a PHP extension (not a C extension) that provides new functionality available in the PHP runtime. This is roughly equivalent to a Ruby gem with a C extension, like Nokogiri.

I think somewhere in there was a point about how when these different roles (backend, frontend, ux, dogfood, etc) are distributed across multiple developers instead of one, connections between the roles are outside of a brain and so need to be optimized explicitly.

It was framed for a reader already convinced that management of developers is not useful, but didn't make that clear.

I can't speak for him, but yes, I was (foolishly) expecting free YouTube hosting forever without ads because that's what they've always provided. I would think that enough YouTube content makers opt into ads and monetization to cover the costs for those of us that don't want it.
Not really. If you want the step-up basis, it has to go through your estate. If you do it through some sort of trust you lose that. There's a 11M exemption for estate tax, but for someone like jeff bezos he's probably not saving much using that.
It's not the PiHole itself that's the problem, but rather the clients on the LAN. I already redirect the PiHole's traffic over a VPN so the ISP is none the wiser, but I could go further and use DoH for that too.

I use my PiHole to do balancing like this. I've set it up with DoT and DoH so that DNS requests are spread across several servers.

Then, I expose my PiHole as a DoT + DoH server (DoT for Linux and Android, DoH for Firefox) so that I can always use my ad block lists and secured DNS traffic.
