For me, the issue is that overwhelmingly the sponsor blocks are for products and services not available in or relevant to my country. Unlike the regular ads loaded through YouTube, they can’t be customized based on the viewer’s region. They will just assume that viewers of English-language content are in the USA, mostly. When you subtract mobile games, which I don’t play, I would say that maybe 1 in 20 of them are things I could buy even if I wanted to. So it just feels pointless, they see no benefit from my seeing the sponsorships and it wastes my time.

As for what sponsored content people are streaming: where I live Internet providers provide unlimited bandwidth during off peak hours (midnight to 8AM) but give you a monthly data limit outside those hours. If you are in an area not wired for high-speed internet, you might be relying on 4G which can have a monthly limit of as little as 50 GB… which isn’t much at all for a family. So it’s nice to be able to queue up all the videos you want to watch to download overnight, making the answer “everything/anything.”

(And that is the chief use of YouTube-DL for me. YouTube premium lets you save videos to watch offline, but only on mobile devices —- which typically have little storage for them —- and you can’t schedule it, you’d have to get up at midnight to manually select each video. With YouTube-DL I can schedule downloads of all my subscriptions and bookmarks to a nice big hard drive and then automatically put my PC to sleep.)
We all know what happens when backwards compatibility gets broken.

Plus there are several options already when backwards compatibility isn't relevant.
Thanks for sharing! I see you got pointed suggestions for moving the legend and changing the scale. Looking forward to seeing them after those changes.
Author here. Honestly $72+tax is not really much for me. What I'm disgusted is all the dirty tricks they used to secure this $72 deal:

(1) They never made it clear that it is an automatic subscription system. They mentioned they ship only weekly and you need to pick your menu before some date so you can get food for that week, which seems like an explanation on their business model. But what they actually mean is that "if you don't explicitly cancel you will still get charged and get random food". This might be "every other meal plan company" does, but this is not any shopper (who are used to Amazon etc) like me would expect.

(2) They intentionally never sent out notifications. The only email I get is the "confirmation" email. Then I immediately contacted support to cancel, and was told too late. Their bad intention is clear.

(3) And in the end, I was forced to pay $72 for 6 meals that I have no interest in. So thanks to their dirty tricks, I paid the money, and not even getting the meals that I wanted.
> Probably the worst is confusing the US Military with a coffeeshop customer. At most they'd be the supplier or employer, and like I said you're free not to buy from or work with people you don't like. That was never in doubt, not in this conversation nor in most conversations. We're talking about canceling customers here. Or employees, for that matter.

Again, there isn't really a difference except which side of a business contract does the cancelling.

> Second is conflating things that affect a businesses operation in concrete ways with abstract ethical transgressions. They're very different things. Half the US population voted for Trump, but I doubt you'll find a handful to support shitting in stores, or opening plane doors during flight. That's not a small difference, it's a 4-5 digits difference.

I don't see why one of those is supposed to be some secret protected class. If you vote fascist, you ought to be thrown in jail IMO but that's off topic. A business should very well be allowed to deny supporting fascist customers. It doesn't matter how well supported an action was, a business should have the right to deny business to a customer or employee at will.

My father had cancer, but was adamant that his children not be dragged into it. We ended up having to rush to another country to watch him die and cremate him, but it is what he wanted. I can't imagine burdening my children with my infirmities.
And it’s a great mix. I can do 99% of my shopping for food and liquor at the corner store. When I need to buy for a huge dinner party, or find some rare ingredient/bottle, I can ride a few miles on my bike to the larger store.
Just be your own custodian. Dont conflate the limitations of third party custodians with the actual law, which is way more flexible. You can move Roth Ira funds around willy nilly. You can have a literal stack of cash on your desk labeled Roth Ira and invest in almost anything. Its just the consumptive purchases that would be a problem.

To your question, it is always better to have free and clear money with no restrictions, which means 0% tax now is better than locked up funds that you also wont have to pay taxes on in the future. Retirement products and trusts are judgement proof though sometimes even against ex spouses, not IRAs though), so if you have or expect to have creditors, better not to have assets in your name. Even better is to only have debt in your name so you can just tell people to get in line, or discourage them from ever bothering with the courts at all. Stuffing Roth IRAs are good for that.
It wasn't. There was black on green, I don't see white on green on any screenshots from before.
Someone should set up a payment service for apps that's cheaper for the consumer and developer, then advertise it heavily. "Check if your favorite app is on FOO to save money". Every app using such a system could benefit from the direct advertising done once by the payment provider. They could even offer a service that checks your bill from Apple and helps you switch the payment for eligible apps, thereby saving money.
There's more factors here, of course.

Linux phones are only for the most masochistic of techies.

Average Joe who is uninformed about tech will just assume you get something for your money, and by that measure, iPhones must be the best.

I chose Android which comes with it's own problems, but I prefer the way it works, and literally everything about Apple rubs me the wrong way.

I'm sure Steve sent a lot of emails. Which one are you referring to?
Particularly when even just with the comments here, someone else was mentioning that targeting the nucleocapsid had led to concerns of ADE in past animal tests, which makes it even more fascinating to try to connect all those bits.
The only benefit of this compared to overlapping yearly line charts is to connect December with January, which does not justify losing the ability to quickly compare values on a straight linear axis.
No it is not. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_(computing):

"In computing, native software or data-formats are those that were designed to run on a particular operating system. In a more technical sense, native code is code written specifically for a certain processor.[1] In contrast, cross-platform software can be run on multiple operating systems and/or computer architectures."
Even as a cyclist, when I hear of new bike lane construction, my feelings on the matter are "meh" or even negative. I think we should instead just normalize cycling among the cars (mostly by educating drivers, who either get pissed or are too cautious to pass even when they have plenty of room). Bike lanes just create the mindset that bikes should be separate traffic, and screw you over as soon as you need to take a left (now you need to merge into the cars on your left instead of already being between them).

I rode my bike across the country and my favorite city for cycling is still Cleveland. Not a whole lot of bike lanes, but wide enough roads and flat terrain. And the only time I was ever struck by a vehicle was when I was riding in a bike lane (because they were trying to turn right).
Same can be said about ISO C and several common C extensions.
They converted an fairly tall office tower into condos not far from me.

In short, it wasn't a very profitable venture due to costs of retrofiting it and folks who live there...still feel like they live in an office building.
I usually see sponsorships for products that I already know about. If it's a creator's first sponsorship or if it's a new product (I check the description links to see) then I watch it through but otherwise, it's a massive waste of time to sit through a bunch 1 minute sponsorship in the middle of a 10 minute video.
In front of a moving vehicle is an amount of that pipe/tunnel/travel network that is basically unusable by people who aren't inside that vehicle. As the speed of the vehicle increases, so does the length of that unusable space.

If I'm a pedestrian who needs to cross a road, or a driver who wants to turn on to that road, it's equally busy if there's a 10mph cyclist half a block away, or a 100mph car 5 blocks away.
We're building a cross-platform commercial application[0] in Rust (with Iced[1]), and it's deployed for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. We get blazing-fast speed and cross-platform operation without Electron or Web tech bloating the build.

Distribution to Linux has been fine so far, and hopefully we're part of the solution to the problem you've outlined.

> The tip of creative management is learning to think of the value fulfillment cycle functionally as a high velocity change engine that takes value attempts often in the form of minimal viable products and design studies, having some associated customer development (see Steve Blank, customer development) effort running in parallel with the engineering/solution effort.

This is just meaningless jargon.

CEOs (any others) fail, but it's usually because of simple things like failing to develop a viable business strategy, making crappy hires, and failing to implement basic software engineering practices like having good technical leaders and solid QA.
Normally all furnaces or vacuum chambers where precious metals may evaporate have their walls covered with some metallic foil, e.g. aluminum foil (while the worked metal is heated at very high temperatures by the electron beam, the walls remain much colder), on which the precious metals lost during heating will condense.

After a production batch, the metallic foil is replaced and the used foil is chemically processed and almost 100% of the precious metals are recovered.
So I admittedly only skimmed that link very briefly. But... how? I would think the c# runtime alone would balloon this to some astronomical size.

I switched from Linux to an M1 MacBook Air when it came out. I just don't sign into iCloud or use the app store and I have a pretty great experience. The battery life is fantastic and I just install applications from developer's websites.I use FireFox for browser, built in Terminal, Enpass (password manager), Parallels Desktop (VMs), Thunderbird, and Joplin for notes. That's really all I use. So no need for any of the other Apple ecosystem. I do use brew to use stuff like tmux and a few other cli tools.

It’s a shrinking niche that uses Excel for data things. I’d argue google docs is fine for people who want to make a shopping list at the low end. And the low barriers to using R or Python with Pandas have been siphoning off the high-end of Excel users for years now.

The people you describe still exist, just like me and my fellow emacs users. But we’re not the future.
Author here. I admit I might be missing the subscription part (perhaps because I don't know about how meal plan companies work). But my impression when I issued my first order is simply "this is just Amazon except that item is shipped weekly". That the company would "pick something for me" if I don't act is just beyond my imagination.

And as you have pointed out, they intentionally not email any notification and only emailed me when I cannot cancel the order is immoral, which is another reason I was annoyed.
I had a blast in Sokcho -- could definitely spend a couple years there. To be blunt, I was bored with Jeju by day 2.

The next time I move to Korea (which I do every couple years), I'm gonna try Busan. I've visited a few times, but haven't ever lived there.
Good points, but we should also account for reductions in throughout due to parked vehicles, which I think offsets this somewhat.
I mean you can also move to Puerto Rico for the majority of the year you sell and also have 0% capital gains for federal income tax (and PR tax) purposes, under act 60. It’s got to be your only US address though.
I upvoted you and would agree that encouraging creativity, new enterprise formation and investment in new ideas are all positives that the policy is chasing.

I think this policy is not a very effective means to that end. QSBS does not reduce the probability of startup failure. You can increase the financial rewards of startup success, but at a certain point this becomes less-and-less effective, because of risk aversion, and because of the declining utility of money.

This is why I say it is a give-away. Because in most cases it won't change the calculus of starting/investing in a startup from "not worth it" to "worth it." It just changes how rich the founder/investors are in the case that the startup succeeds.

I reflect on my own experience: the existence or non-existence of QSBS did not and would not have any bearing on starting my own business. This is of course N=1, so take it with a grain of salt.

I would just conclude by saying: QSBS is not a give-away only if it changing behavior. I'm not sure I believe that it actually changes startup or investing behavior.

I will grant that my experience is as a founder, and not an investor. It's more plausible that investors, who can diversify their investments, would have their behavior affected by QSBS. QSBS changes expected value of investment, though I have no idea how much early-stage investors can calculate that.

I also don't subscribe to the theory that more investment entails more creativity and innovation. I suppose that's a founder-biased point of view.
> In a future state, we've talked about rendering a snapshot of the report and checking that into version control, so that even if your underlying data is a moving target, you can hold onto what the report looked like at a moment in time.

> We're kind of mixed on that idea of snapshotting reports themselves though,

Right. In terms of a code-oriented version control service like GitHub, you shouldn't be checking in the rendered reports unless you want people modifying them directly (and they will) and submitting PRs.

Instead, consider attaching the generated report artifacts as releases* associated with a tag (or possibly a branch) in the version-controlled source, and you get a few helpful conventions and affordances.

OTOH, you are then sort of constrained to reviewing a release (or release candidate) with the built-in functionality only in the unrendered-but-version-controlled source, which probably isn't what you want.
Why? Your yeast still gets tested for the purpose so I don’t see how this applies. Especially if the end risk is that you go to the store and buy yeast which has a higher risk of working than stockpiled yeast.
Yeah, but get ready for downvotes or this being moved out of sight.

Glad to hear someone else talking about the need to have data on. Natural immunity
Can someone help me understand why anyone would ever rely on monkeypatching in non-test code?

Python is just as dynamic as Ruby in a lot of ways. But in Python, overwriting an existing and important/fundamental/ubiquitous method would be an absolute last resort when all other sensible approaches have failed. And in that case you would at least have the sense to save the original method somewhere under a different name.

What makes such a horrifying idea so apparently not-horrifying in Ruby? The ability to "reopen" class?

None of the examples in the blog post seemed like such dire circumstances as to require it. Maybe replacing a buggy method while you wait for a PR and new release is a valid use case. But the failure mode is also particularly nasty.
My (SQL) database in Azure is protected by a firewall with an IP white list by default. Is it different with Cosmos DB? Or does the Jupyter notebook thing goes around the firewall?
Um, I just did the same thing the GP did (buy up all the stock) for a product in development but one of our older products is getting hit by the same issue described by the parent!
> Heck, they even keep recommending the utility of Terms of Service violations like accessing contents from other regions.

You mean helping helpless US companies who doesn't understand that Europeans can understand English?

Or actually get the full database of movies when we pay the full price for Netflix?

Yeah, shame on us.

PS: I don't use VPNs to access Netflix, I just don't care to look at it anymore and one day I'll cancel it. No way I want to pay for the new stuff.

Edit: disagreement is acceptable but I'd like to see an explanation if possible.

I would be enraged by this, as it seems you are. Have you considered a chargeback via your payment card? It seems justified given the lack of clarity and notification email sent after the deadline to cancel.

Do you know if generic sandboxing tools exist? I feel like it should be possible to use Docker and some sort of Firewall to isolate your running application from your system if you're worried about it accessing things that it should be able to. And that way you don't need to worry about using deno or relying on the program being written in a certain framework/language.
At this point, I don't think it's an economic calculation anymore, if it ever was. I think it's moreso that Apple genuinely believes that third parties shouldn't have access to their platforms without prior review. Everything else has an explanation from that:

- We need to monopolize control over who can publish software for our platforms, so we can enforce our security guidelines.

(This includes banning third-party app stores, emulators, virtualization, alternative browser engines, and all the other fun things Android users chuckle at iPhone users about.)

- Hiring reviewers to check all the apps we ship for problems costs money, so we need to get paid for that review.

- However, we can't just charge developers money for review, as it would be prohibitively expensive and encourage developers to not fix broken software.

(At this point we need to review what Apple's competition was in this space at the time of the App Store launch. That is, game consoles, which have been universally locked down and monopolized since 1985. The companies that owned those platforms generally charged per software build submitted for review. The cost per submission was somewhere in the 5 figure range and could take up to a month to approve. Nintendo was extra spiteful, and would actually refuse to pay you after you updated your game, until you sold another 1000 units. Steam didn't really bother reviewing software submissions, not because it was a free-for-all, but because partnering with them used to be a legitimate challenge involving bugging several different Valve employees.)

- Therefore, we need to bundle how we get paid for reviewing software into the cost structure of apps. That way, we get paid when developers get paid.

- Thus, we can't have third-party billing, because that would let developers evade payment for our software review.
> It could still just be a convenient way of rekeying very often (assuming it can "conveniently" be verified to be free of mitm)

No. ECDH is just fine. PQ crypto is also just fine.

And no, QKD cannot be "conveniently" verified to be free of MITMs -- this is more important than whether QKD can be a "convenient way of rekeying very often" (which it isn't anyways).

> Only half, for my day job I work with UAV operations, and inspecting 600km of lines daily would be peanuts for something with military scale funding.

A UAV cannot police 600km of fiber optics 24/7. 10 UAVs cannot either. The cost of this is nuts compared to the cost of using classical crypto -- and for what benefit?! There is no benefit to QKD, not any benefit at all.

> Well I hope you don't think I was doing that, I'm just trying to figure out a use for it.

It may be useful to train quantum physicists. Hmm, that may be its only use -- I can't think of any others.
