Well they probably know, but people on the business side figure out that if you implement a door that's too confusing to operate and can keep people stuck inside your building where you show them more ads, it's better to use the bad door.
Nothing is stopping you from sending an application to become the CEO of Amazon, Google, Apple or Microsoft and noting that even though you might not be their ideal candidate you would be willing to do the job at 2X their median employee. I’m sure they’d be thrilled to save some money.

These days it seems most of the extravagant CEO pay is going towards eccentrics wanting to build rockets, though I’m guessing a lot of them are more boring and just buying huge boats/mansions and wait staff etc, and then investing the rest in letting family and friends get by without working.

I came here to say this. My step-sister's family sticks to the concept of family despite all the women being raped and beaten by their father. They will not address the problem, their mother will not address the problem, and the only way to live in reality is to leave them. They violently attacked her for trying to discuss it on multiple occasions. Their mother continues this even after the death of their father.

They tell everyone they know that she's addicted to drugs and won't talk to them because they want to help her. In reality she's more successful than all of them combined, which she attributes largely to seeking mental health counseling and removing herself from their constant drama.

We're living through a reckoning for abusive people. In the past people were ostracized for cutting off their families for any reason, especially women... but now there's little reason to put up with this kind of bullshit. These cycles of familial abuse reach back generations and it's about time they're addressed.

I just checked. The power button is locked out but the volume knob works now.

I haven't done either. I'd imagine it would be extremely difficult though. There was a semester where I was working full time and going to school part time. Overall I thought it was a good decision. I had a well-paying job as a software engineer before I graduated. But I was busy and it would have been a lot worse if the job didn't have good wlb.

I learned a lot, but I definitely didn't get the full experience. One of my classes was during the day, so I didn't go. I made that up with individual tutoring during weeknights.

It might be different if your research has to do with your company. It seem a lot of universities have startups connected to research groups.
I'm not following your rebuttal here. s1artibartfast says that the sun can provide much more power than we currently consume. The limit from your link from earlier is not a limit on how much power the sun can provide, but rather a limit on how much power we can produce before we produce too much CO2. With power production methods that produce less CO2, we won't run into that limit, and we obviously won't run into the solar energy limit.
It's good to point out that it works with bad habits too - if you repeat behaviours that you don't want every day, you're making your life worse in a very reliable way.
Doesn't matter, they still used this as censoring (claiming YouTube cut funds to kill them).

I even saw (this mostly was Facebook, but also was done on YouTube) where the channel/fan page purposefully switching videos to private while talking they are being censored.

If society collapses it will be because we ignored existential threats like climate change, nuclear war, biological warfare etc.
Because not everyone can be a professional football player or entertainer. Anyone can be a decision maker be it good or bad. Also, a football player or entertainer can also be a CEO. A great example of this is Beats By Dre, with Dr Dre being a CEO coupled with also being a major celebrity and selling the company he help found to Apple for 3 billion. We also have examples of athletes like Rob Dyrdek becoming a celebrity. Rarely do we see the inverse (e.g. shark tank with Cuban, Musk)

What exactly is a "social absolute"?

> Your absolute regarded abuse, a crime, and a serious one at that.

No, there is no crime of "abuse" per se. Take, for example, the constant, relentless degrading and insulting language that one of my friends directed at his son since he was a little boy, which destroyed the kid's self esteem and has now undermined his agency as an adult, resulting in depression and addiction. I continually hear this kid calling himself "stupid", and he's genuinely surprised that he can't stop himself from drinking. Now what crime do you propose his father should be charged with?

My friend now criticizes his adult son for being weak, saying he has only himself to blame for his struggles. Would you advise his son, and all the others like him, to "defer" to his father? Would you apply to this man all the generalizations you've used in this thread, and accuse him of failing to appreciate how his father "looked after" him?

> Labeling deference to parents as abusive is extreme.

The parent comment did no such thing. They said that an abusive parent's expectation of deference can itself constitute abusive behavior. This is not surprising to anyone who's been exposed to abusive relationships: it's common, for example, for abusive husbands to demand deference from their wives, in line with traditional (and often religious) mores. Would you agree with this as well? Or is it only parents who you think deserve unconditional fealty?

The advertisers threatened to boycott because otherwise they would have risked being scrutinized and potentially making less profit.

What actually happened isn't that one side of the political spectrum "censored" the other side in some sort of targeted attack.. it's that advertisers and private companies optimized for generating as much profits as possible by (obviously) pondering to the majority of potential customers.

Ironically.. such is the nature of capitalism.
I grew up outside of Detroit, MI. Talking to strangers does not seem like much of a thing there. The first time I spent more than a week outside of Michigan was in Oklahoma. I would be walking down the street and people would not just say hello but ask me how I was doing and then actually listen and make conversation. At first I thought they were trying to scam me or something. When they'd approach, I would step back, take a mental inventory of my pockets, and evaluate my surroundings. Eventually I realized they were just being friendly!

People may have a different experience if they are more extroverted, but some places really are friendlier than others.

Stores can pick and choose their customers. It all depends on the basis for the decision.
Sure and that happens. Journalists will cherry pick data to tell the story they want. But there is a difference.

If the data is out there someone can dispute the journalists characterization. If Facebook controls all the data and presents the story, there is no way to verify their characterization.
- It is still revealing what content you browse. For example your ISP may be profiling you. (There are other leaks that reveal the domain to the ISP but hopefully those are slowly being removed as well).

- A man-in-the-middle may replace your innocent content with something unpleasant. This is both bad for the viewer, and harms your reputation (even if it wasn't your fault).
So much for freedom, right? After all, the US has a very loud voice on all things freedom related but when it comes to the rights of its own citizens to do as they please the degree of freedom appears to be lower than that of many states that have lesser profile in the freedom department. Countries should not limit their citizens freedoms on the basis of politics, that's no different than the various dictatorships that want to keep their people in (and the foreigners out), it's just a matter of degree.

Whether it is safe - or wise - to do so is another matter.
>"In overwhelmingly most of the cases where someone has been 'cancelled', their career has not noticeably suffered even one bit."

I know we aren't going to ever agree, but this beyond hyperbolic. To even say that most canceled people's careers have not suffered one bit is just astounding. People get fired over tweets that aren't even that controversial. Mel Gibson got off the hook, whatever. But Average Joe's and Average Jane's also fall victim to 'cancel culture' too.

"Shor tweeted out an academic study by Princeton political scientist Omar Wasow that demonstrates how during the 1960s, while honest-to-God riots resulted in a decrease in the vote share for Democratic candidates in the following election, non-violent protests actually increased it. An uproar ensued, with liberal critics alleging that Shor was indifferent or even hostile to today’s racial justice protests. Two weeks later, he was out of his job at Civis Analytics, the left-aligned data science firm where he worked as an analyst" (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/06/05/cancel-cul...)

This person was fired, for tweeting out a study, and nothing they did was egregious.
> I don’t believe anyone is seriously suggesting D Trump or B Johnson

I wasn't only talking about D Trump or B Johnson. Both are complicit for spreading the bioweapon. I'm talking about Fauci & the other bioweapon pushers who are committing genocide.

The factor that is being ignored is that vaccine injuries are being reclassified as Covid or a coincidence unrelated to the vaccine. Tobacco Science had a similar technique.
> I might be alone with this but I really dislike Apple increasing the overall height / element margins on the top controls of Safari. They've been consistently doing it bit by bit with each new release and it constantly feels like I'm losing screen estate...

I agree, but it seems like there's and (unwelcome to me) industry-wide trend towards less density and wasted screen real estate. At least Apple still ships 16:10 displays, unlike the 16:9 garbage that's ubiquitous nowadays.
Design system is common terminology for designers, akin to OOP.
No, the reason why I hate myself is because people think I’m stupid not because my employer negs me.
So now they are demonetizing videos that want to be monetized and vice versa. Time for YouTube's demise is long overdue. I hope Peertube, decentralization and finger to censorship is the future.
Sure, but there's also tons of people who worked full-time for years without anything to show for it, I'm not sure that short-term intense focus is any less subject to survivorship bias than long-term regular focus. I do believe that at least one of them is necessary but not sufficient for most types of "success".

At the end of the day, I think outliers (across all axes) is what makes for interesting articles that get upvoted, and so if you squint hard enough probably every article is subject to some kind of survivorship bias.
I don't see the logic here.
> Does YouTube's TOS really not contain statements giving them the ability to stop hosting any video, at any time, for any reason?

The highest court in Germany (for civil and criminal proceedings) wrote this in one of their rulings:

> Depending on the circumstances, especially if private companies - as in this case - move into a dominant position and take over the provision of the framework conditions of public communication themselves, the fundamental rights obligation of private parties can in fact be close to or even equal to a fundamental rights obligation of the state.

So as long as YouTube, Twitter etc. are open to "the public", they could write "we reserve the right to remove any content for any or no reason at any time" in their TOS and it wouldn't be valid in Germany.
Thanks for the source to backup that feeling.
Isn't "political pressure" here really means "user pressure" ?

My understanding is that users of YouTube pressure YouTube to censor some things, YouTube wants to appeal to its user base, because customers are important for profit.

Now Germany says that maybe in their position censoring things for profit is not legal or something like that and fines them.

> a lot of things throughout history have been labeled "misinformation" before it became confirmed information.

Heck, we don't even need to go back too far in history - a lot of COVID-19 information was labeled "misinformation" before being proven correct/possibly true.
As someone who was abandoned as a child and still maintains a pretty good relationship w both parents, I'm sure they are oblivious to the effect that had on me as a child. Nor are they willing to talk about it now. They feel what's done is done and in the past, and don't want the awkwardness of that conversation.

It's cool, but sometimes you wanna cry for that child. As an adult, I've heard the mistake is looking at what happened to you through a childs eyes. Ya can't really ever let it go.
So users who troll and harass other users, spam, post hateful content, etc. should never be banned? That's just leads to a precipitous decline in quality and drives other users away. Why would I want to spend my leisure time on a platform filled with 13 year-old shouting racial slurs?
Talks about history of coal, iron and steam and the "virtuous cycle" that happened between them in Great Britain from 1200 onwards.

There are some pretty interesting snippets:

"""
... there is another possible explanation for the name – that it was called sea coal because it arrived into London by sea from the North. ...
"""

"""
... this would provide a tidy explanation for why the engine developed in Britain and nowhere else – no other place was exploiting coal as a fuel source nearly so intensively, and so no other place had access to the cheap fuel that made a first-generation steam engine worthwhile.
"""

"""
The puddling process, developed in Britain in the 1780s, removed this last bottleneck. A puddling furnace turned cast iron into wrought simply by applying heat and stirring. This allowed the mass production of wrought iron, using coal as fuel
"""

Good read!
The average power that the sun shines on the Earth is a huge amount and more than enough to cover all of our current energy needs, even using the technology and efficiency of today, and leaving land for other uses.

You can use solar to reduce or eliminate the carbon emitted. You can use solar electricity to sequester carbon if you want. You could even make oil and pump it back into the ground.

The economy is not a fixed pie but it's also not a source of unlimited riches.

All production is limited by rate of available energy and/or available extraction of material.

It is actually more accurate to say the economy is a fixed pie than it is to ludicrously say the economy is a source of infinite wealth.
> humans have little inherent moral worth as individuals

Isn't it flipped? If humans had little moral worth, then there would be no need to worry about the suffering they would experience. It's because they have moral worth that people hesitate to bring new humans into the world.
Not to mention that if you set up an internal CA, it is a huge pain to add the CA to browsers, since most browsers don't use the system trusted CAs.

Preserving Worlds: a travelogue through aging but beloved virtual worlds
Valid point. Just pressure in general is probably more accurate. Once you bow to user pressure, you still open yourself up to political pressure. The political pressure probably comes masqueraded as user pressure anyway.

boost has quite a few useful libs..

unfortunately, some of the libs put performance first over ease-of-use. which can be a drag.

I use likes to auto bookmark tweets to pinboard. Obviously I could figure out another workflow for this. But right now it’s super simple. It would be nice to not “like” tweets I don’t like myself but want to bookmark. Wonder if there is a low code way way around this.
That's not what I said. To reiterate, what I'm saying is:
Shady ideas fester in the dark. Banning won't help society. Exposure and discussion does.

But the new and very different point that you're making, which is "removing bad actors improves the quality of information on social networks", is also very disputable and shaky.

- First link is "Reddit says that the rules Reddit made helped Reddit." is not exactly impartial, so forgive me to mistrust it.

- Felt bad opening a Vox link (since so very obviously biased, but whatever, opened it for a laugh). The say: "misinformation slowed, the research indicates online discussion around the topics that motivated the Capitol riot has also diminished" if you don't see it (or if it doesn't happen online) it doesn't mean it diminished overall. The whole article is full of bias honestly. Sad that you feel it's worthy enough to source.
If they do release those sources, it’ll be a good day for GitHub Copilot.

Football players destroy their bodies for 2-4 years (average career length) of ~$860,000/year (median NFL salary). Be angry at football team owners instead.
> It's the Who (a political org that has nothing to do with science) that is dictating what YouTube should do.

How are they dictating this? What power does the WHO have over YouTube to force them to make this decision?
I agree, but IMO that is missing the point of the post. For me, this lesson transcends software engineering and applies to nearly every quadrant of life.

Yes, progress does not guarantee success, but progress for its own sake is still worthwhile.

And even if your ultimate goal is to succeed, applying these principles makes the success more likely, which is most of what matters in any kind of entrepreneurial enterprise.

There's a great quote: "The harder I work, the luckier I get." Showing up every day is another way to create this luck, and if you do it consistently, you accrue a kind of compound interest on your work.
> I refuse to take down anything that doesn't come with the force of law to take it down

and

> I refuse to take down this video, because I do not think it needs to be taken down

are two VERY different things. The first one is a political choice about taking down videos in general. The second one is a political choice about a specific topic. The second one is more or less similar to taking down the video because you think it needs to be taken down (same topic, different political decision)... the first one is absolutely nothing like that.

Edit: In case it wasn't clear (because I replied in the wrong place), this is the comment I was discussing

> There's no such thing as neutrality. Leaving up a popular anti-vax video is just as political a decision as taking it down.

While it may be "just as political", it's a political about a totally different thing.
Should be about something else than ToS, the quote is talking about a contract. The news is not sufficient to understand what supposedly happened there. That the Youtuber had a contract with Youtube, is that common? Maybe the court judged the partner program agreements as one?

That "future changes may apply without notice" is invalid in Germany, that's evident. Companies writing bullshit like that in AGBs (ToS) or contracts don't realize Germany is not the US, they need a new legal team.

If the news is correct you are right about the fine being about ignoring the court, not about removing the video in the first place. With a fine that high it has to be about that, there is no way removing a regular video could cause this. Basically the court saw youtube in contempt of the court, kinda.

Might also be politically charged though, East Germany is highly penetrated by Nazis and with a high percentage of corona deniers. Depends on the judge of course whether that was a factor here.
