Reading the report, this wasn't actually a random sampling of typical users. They used opt-in reporting from a self-selected group of volunteers who were interested in reporting "regrettable" YouTube recommendations.

If some of these users were deliberately scouring YouTube for objectionable content, it follows that their recommendations would start matching similarly objectionable content for them.

After reading the report, I don't see how any of this is representative of a typical user's YouTube experience. It certainly doesn't resemble my own experience at all.
Awesome! I love the new functions, metadata backup and restore are very useful!
This is a new movement of families who are setting goals for their children's education and picking and choosing classes, activities, tutors and skill shares to fill out those goals. As the movement grows, there will be a need for greater accountability and standards, which I think still can be fulfilled better through a Modular approach then a centralized education system. How great would it be if individual communities and families also had more authority over establishing the standards for this foundation of knowledge.

>We don't need that part to follow some lanes.

We do! I live near a highway and every time I use a particular on-ramp, the tar stripes make my car think it's going off the road. It never learns, and it has no plan B.

It's easy to do the lane-keeping, it's completely terra incognita to decide when to abandon the standard method that works 90% of the time. And what to do next.
Let's say you accept a lower salary from a startup, because they offer you 100,000 options with a standard 4-year vest/1-year cliff/90 days to exercise at a strike price (409a valuation) of $1 / share, and claim that an exit at $10 / share looks likely if growth stays on track.

You stay for three years. The exit hasn't come yet because the VCs want to see a higher valuation, but the company has grown and the 409(a) valuation is now $5 / share. You've now vested 60,000 options that would cost you $60,000 to exercise, plus you will have an AMT adjustment of $240,000 because of the difference between the strike price and the current 409(a) valuation. So, exercising those options will cost you $120,000 (ballpark, IANA accountant) in exercise cost and taxes.

Keep in mind you've accepted a lower salary for the past three years because of this stock, so you might not have that kind of cash lying around. And even if you do - are you willing to throw $120,000 into a bet that the company will one day have an exit? Keep in mind that the company may have debt, preferred stock, liquidation preferences, etc. and most companies won't share all their past financing terms with ordinary employees, so it may be hard to estimate what a realistic exit even looks like for your stock. And if you're leaving, maybe you're a little disillusioned with how things are going in the first place? You have 90 days to make this decision after leaving the company and then you lose the stock forever.

For many people, the answer at this point is that they don't want to take the bet - and they get screwed out of a large part of what was supposed to be their compensation.

It's a shitty and exploitative system. I worked at a startup where this exact thing happened to many people who contributed immense value to the company. We had a bumpy year, some management turmoil, etc. and many people left before the IPO and got nothing out of their years of hard work other than a shitty, uncompetitive salary. I will never work for another startup under these terms.

I'm not the guy you were talking to, but let me make one thing absolutely clear. You can't read that blog post on Tor because nobody is interested in making things "actually work" for you, because you (and the other people who won't or can't not use Tor for five minutes) don't matter to them. It's not a security fetish, it's just sensible prioritisation. They'll get around to you after every other bug is ironed out, their desk is clean, they've been on their weekly 10k run, and they've flossed like they've been intending to for a decade now. They. Don't. Care.
In Australia, roads are paid for by our taxes - not the fuel excise.

I think I actually support a KM usage tax, but it'd have to be for all kinds of cars - not just the green kind. CO2/PM25 emissions tax should be on top of that.

And: To buy an EV in Australia would be considerable stretch on my own budget, and I'd need every single dollar left after it. I'm actually needing a 2nd car now, and am loath to buy another ICEV.
Not to mention that we don't even currently have a real capability to repair the currently malfunctioning Hubble telescope anymore. That was designed for maintenence from the now non-existent space shuttle in mind. Trying to accomplish the same with the Dragon would be unknown territory and it seems that there is little desire from both NASA and congress to even bother.

JWST in comparison is a far trickier and complicated beast to tinker with. This is the biggest reason why they are so paranoid about any fault before orbital launch. It would be all but impossible to service it - on both a technical and political level.
In my opinion, most of these vulnerabilities are completely useless. A React developer performing a DoS on themselves or their build servers with a complex regex is theoretically a problem, but in practice I'd rate it below "low" importance. If a developer wants to ruin a company with huge building costs, why not add a cryptominer to the build process? Why not just spawn hundreds of build tasks? Why bother with generating complex regexes as an attack vessel when you have access to the code?

I'm not even sure if I'd classify it as a security bug at this point, I'd just classify these examples as configuration options to be aware of. Document and ignore.

With the explosion in Javascript packages to implement trivial behaviours, the NPM dependency hell and all the other cruft that "modern" frontend development requires, there are more important security issues to monitor.

Many real issues exist, but their classification is ridiculously flawed. Every security researcher tries to mark their vulnerability up to be the next Eternal Blue of Javascript development, but these vulnerabilities rarely matter.

I think a much bigger problem from a security standpoint is not necessarily the quality of these bug reports, but the sheer number of dependencies even a basic React project has these days. Supply chain attacks are real and the javascript world can do with some dependency purging. Any of the 200 single-line Javascript libraries can be compromised at any point and infect developers all over the world the next time they update their dependencies.

The way people "just" seem to add new dependencies to projects terrifies me. left-pad hit the frontend world and changed nothing. twilio-npm infected developer machines, and create-react-app imports over 1500 libraries as if it's the most normal thing in the world. It's absolute madness.

I have no idea how to fix all of this. It's only a matter of time before someone replicates the research people have done in uploading packages with typos in the name (which have reached into big, famous companies like Apple and Facebook) and start doing some serious damage. Maybe it's already happening: a package having been taken over for scraps, the owners lying in wait while everyone downloads and updates their React/Svelte/etc. packages, ready with their cryptolockers to strike frontend devs and build servers the world over with the push of a button. I wouldn't be surprised, not in the slightest.

First time I've heard the term "on-orbit" rather than "in-orbit".

To my amateur ear it sounds wrong - like a submerged submarine described as "on-sea". There's a good discussion of why it's that way here: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/5320/in-orbit-vs...

I like the explanation that something on its way to the correct orbit is "in orbit" and then "on-orbit" when it gets there but is that actually right?

The rear weighted AMZN approach made sense to me in terms of both optimising retention and some proxy for reward to contribution. I say this also as someone who left after 2 years and as a result left most of their stock unvested. It definitely made the choice to leave much harder so I’d expect it to skew more heavily toward retention benefits than a typical schedule. A typical schedule has a linear growth of what you’ve vested. I’d expect the value of contribution of a person to grow over time though. More context, more experience, more everything. Hopefully that means the you 3 years from now is making a more significant contribution than the you they hired. Typical schedules hope that the increase in valuation accounts for that compounding return. AMZN have shifted it to the vesting schedule.

That said they always talk about “total compensation”. So for the stock you’re not getting in the first two years you typically get as cash via a “hiring bonus” anyway. You could always just use that cash to go buy the equivalent amount in stock, no vesting required.
The scale argument against regulation is a frequent one. I'd like to see regulation have specific mandates for increased responsibility with size. There are examples of this elsewhere, e.g., exceptions from food inspecition and licensing regulations for home cooks, even for sales at relatively informal markets such as farmers' markets.

http://www.fma.alabama.gov/HomeProc.aspx

The case for the Internet is an interesting one, as there are numerous cases where a single individual does in fact provide services used widely (Alexandra Albakyan of Sci-Hub, and Chet Ramey of OpenSSL come to mind). Defining "scale" and commensurate "responsibility" does require some nuance.

The overregulation trope is a frequent one of the Libertarian movement, and appears frequently at (and on HN, from) Reason.com, among other sources. One suspects that Koch Industries and ilk would like to be similarly exempted from such onerous requirements as the individual hairdresser they so often performatively defend (often with a gross ignorance of the issues involved in hair care, beauty treatments, and hygiene).
Now they'd have an incentive to let them go in under a quarter, by that logic.

Not sure if that's really their concern here. Companies don't just ditch reasonably well performing employees because they want to avoid compensating them. That would already mean that each time RSUs vest the company would have an incentive to fire.
I don't think it's circular. There are articles (I can't point to them now, sorry) about the effect on the brain of intermittent rewards, and how that IS addiction.

Although certainly not identical to that of heroin, which is well-studied.

So no, I don't agree that "the trick is to differentiate smartphone usage from addiction." It's to define a (probably) new type of addiction.
You underestimate the cost of a competent reverse engineer's time. eg: I charge $995/hour for such stuff (reverse engineering unknown chips/devices) and have no shortage of takers.

A large amount of initial RE work is research, such as this article. Not doing it costs you a lot more time later on.

Working code could easily be over 100 hours of work on an under-documented radio chip, so your cost estimate is too low for that
> it seems to prefer them over other content.

Isn't it likely that it prefers them because they're more likely to be fully watched/upvoted/commented on/otherwise engaging? Presumably, that fact together with objections to the content are the reason to have a policy...
>"Social justice" movements are also manipilative and are doing much more harm than good at this point

Seems like a completely separate discussion, but I'd disagree emphatically with a premise that attempts to equivocate between content that is misleading, false or intentionally promoting genocide and whatever you'd define as falling under the umbrella of social justice.
Having heard this call for years, I've come to the conclusion that this is the 21st century's "TV rots your brain." We've replaced channel surfing with doom scrolling. TV stations are mostly run by white men, too.

At best, I can say that there's a fundamental human need to stare into space for a while. We could delete all technology tomorrow, and we wouldn't magically be less distracted. At least now, there's a hope of seeing things we care about, instead of what we got in the 80s that was designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Sitting through toilet paper commercials are actually the worst.
Thank you for your comment, close-minded person.
I absolutely love the unschooling community and that approach to raising and educating children. However, I think this is a misnomer in many instances and a better word to describe a specific type of learning as necessary. As I understand it unschooling mostly applies to an approach that heavily emphasizes self-directed learning. In other cases, uschooling is a broad word which ranges from families who have no structure to their children's education to ones who have a full schedule with lots of academics. Modular Learning is an educational movement of parents who want greater flexibility, but also a rigorous and challenging education for their children which their composing through modules (tutors, learning apps, classes, skill shares) Modular learning doesn't preclude going to school either. In many cases, Modular learners go to school but complement that with afterschool activities, apps and tutors. The studies you refer to also show that families who use pure unschooling do mostly the same , but those with some structure do better academically. It's hard to really give credit to these studies because they apply to such a small sample of kids whose families are actively involved in their learning. More research is definitely needed.
I would never camp on HN, hoping for tasty feed. Never.

That said, FOMO is a very odd emotion. I can relate to it in the past but I increasingly find I would prefer less things not more, so I want more MO not fear it.
The last I can find on the proposal for NSW to do the same is from April [0] yet in June they introduced EV purchases [1] with no mention of a mileage tax.

I find it more than a tad ironic that the NSW Liberal (conservative) state government has the best EV incentives while the Victorian Labor ("progressive") has the worst, out of our two most populous states.

>There are lots of animals that can beat us at specific neural tasks.

anecdotally - in front of us a woman with a dog is leaving the dog park, and the dog pulls in the opposite direction that the woman tries to go, and that goes for a few seconds until the woman "Oh!, you're right, today we parked there" and follows the dog.

And on 2 occasions spread in time and space i saw a racoon confidently crossing an intensive traffic boulevard (once it was Page Mill in Palo Alto and another was Geary in SF. The Geary was around 6-7pm, getting dark, high traffic, such crossing presents some cognitive challenge even for humans) following the basic procedure we are taught in childhood - check for traffic (and the racoons were checking for the correct direction), wait for the sufficient opening, cross to the middle, check and wait again, cross.

No, IMPOSSIBLE
Singapore is already completely inundated in severe WBGT conditions: https://www.wbgt.sg/allstations

thankfully, much of the population are within easy reach of conditioned air, either their home, office or an indoor mall. many parts of the shopping district are connected underground, so that people don't have to over-expose themselves to the climate to get from place to place.

we've not been able to terraform our habitat, but we've been able to create sufficient pockets of habitable spaces for us to continue functioning as a society.

it's always a bit of a fascination for me. soon strenous outdoor activities in singapore will be completely impossible, and maybe, in the near future, even idling outside will be a risky endeavour. this feels almost dune-like, except frank herbert never thought lethal humidity would be the other way around.
What factor is enabling so many people to stay home with no income that didn't exist in 2019?
Seems likely it simply makes it "stick" better, the same way writing down facts as you learn them helps vs simply sitting passively and soaking it in. The "(re)-creation" part taking place in your head helps to cement things.
I can imagine the ethical approval for this would be difficult, because I think people would be more likely to engage in unsafe sex if they're in the trial. So participating could expose them to more risk than they would otherwise be exposed to.

> Youtube has recommended that I watch Nazi propaganda, because I had just recently watched videos debunking those exact propaganda films.

When you're interested in this field and watched documentaries about it, it is not too far off that you want to watch the source material.

Now, it depends a bit on whether we're talking about "modern" Nazi propaganda or 1930's Nazi propaganda - the latter one can be pretty clearly categorized as historical interest, while the former might a bit more problematic. I don't want to say that showing countering view points is generally a bad thing, but in this case it's clearly crossing a line.

It, however, also totally fits in your analogy: If someone is very interested in politics, it makes sense for them to possibly want to read works of dictators and the likes. Not to get radicalized, but to know what happened and be able to prevent history from repeating itself.

I think the point you're trying to make is that the recommendation algorithm should check videos for violations, but then GPs point still stands: Would YT be able to determine the policy violation, the video would probably be already taken down long before it reaches recommendations.
Yes, as long as they are crystal clear about it (such as put it in the title, so you don't have people clicking into an ad and then realizing it's not for a job but for an unpaid situation).

Still I think this is a good idea.... it's a big enough distinction to need a completely different place to post them.

Social justice movements are almost without exception extremely critical of countries like Saudi Arabia but despite this fantasy conjured up by conservatives that it's the woke crowd that shy away from criticism of Islamic theocracies, it's amusing how it's always the former that love multi-billion dollar arms deals with them (though to be clear, both neoliberals and neocons are guilty of this).
