The current system has as its main purpose the justification of Youtube the corporation showing rights holders that it is "doing something" about copyright violations. In that, it serves its purpose very well.

The system is meant to flag the vast majority of uses of other people's videos but glosses over any questions about whether such use is considered "fair use" per local law or whether the presumed owner of the video actually cares or has granted permission for the use.

It assumes anyone using a video that's not theirs is doing so in violation of copyright, and refuses to allow that video to be posted. It's automatic and often wrong, but Youtube don't care because it's keeping the parties that can have a significant effect on Youtube's business (and bottom line) happy - the large conglomerates, corporations, and industries that profit off of media world wide.

They want any valuable media to be producing income for them forever, with Youtube and other online providers strong armed into policing their unfair system.

Thus, the imbalances in the present copyright system (infinitely extending copyrights providing rent to corporations) is extended into Youtube's de facto monopoly on sharing user videos.

Youtube's automated takedown system steps on ordinary content creators daily, but Youtube (Google) doesn't care, because individual content creators can't cause them as much trouble as corporations.

So, it's working just fine if you keep that in mind.

Youtube and Google are monopolies that need to be broken up.
I support my local farmers that are doing things better. However, I do believe lab and veggie meat is a solution to a volume problem. To quote your own site "Mulligan Farms, LLC is an agricultural concern run by a family of new and dedicated farmers, and has wildly fluctuating resources." Lab meat and even highly processed veggie meat is about feeding the billions. There will also be local farmers who can provide amazing resources no matter what the out come.

> It seems insanely simplistic to say that "we can grow this phenotype in the lab, so it'll be exactly the same as one raised in a barn or on a pasture."

It seems insanely unimaginative to think we can not.

Why does sentience somehow imply value?

That’s the issue with vegetarianism. It’s not really about “the animals”, it’s about things that happen to resemble human beings. The more similar to a human, the more “sentience” it has. Isn’t that an odd coincidence? Or perhaps plants are just as sentient as humans but are a different form of life too distant from humans for us to empathize with.

The whole thing is a massive exercise in human myopia.
This is Season 1 of my farm and we literally are turning customers away, despite our meat being ~2x more expensive than grocery store meat.

I am not in the slightest bit afraid of factory/lab-grown meat supplanting my little farm. Regardless of what highly-processed stuff large agribusinesses can or will produce, there will always be a great market for humanely-raised, carefully processed animal protein.

If anything, it's the Tyson and Smithfield Foods of the world that should be worried. Somehow, I don't think any of us are.
Even more unpopular opinion: genetics is destiny, so we'll never find a systematic effect of teachers on student learning.
Uh huh. Except pretty much everyone has personally experienced it and some us reflect on it with disgust.

Assuming you were educated in the US, can you honestly say that you never witnesses a teacher/professor infuse their political beliefs into their instruction (even if you agreed)? If so, awesome, but that isn’t the experience almost everyone else has.

Frankly, it is reprehensible behavior carried out by teachers who are at best, pitiful adults who are just seeking attention from children. Or, at worst, trying to groom children for their own political purposes.

literally on the Exq github readme: https://github.com/akira/exq#do-you-need-exq

"While you may reach for Sidekiq / Resque / Celery by default when writing apps in other languages, in Elixir there are some good options to consider that are already provided by the language and platform. So before adding Exq or any Redis backed queueing library to your application, make sure to get familiar with OTP and see if that is enough for your needs. Redis backed queueing libraries do add additional infrastructure complexity and also overhead due to serialization / marshalling, so make sure to evaluate whether it is an actual need or not.

Some OTP related documentation to look at:

GenServer: http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/genserver.htm...
Task: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Task.html
GenStage: https://hexdocs.pm/gen_stage/GenStage.html
Supervisor: http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/mix-otp/supervisor-an...
OTP: http://erlang.org/doc/
If you need a durable jobs, retries with exponential backoffs, dynamically scheduled jobs in the future - that are all able to survive application restarts, then an externally backed queueing library such as Exq could be a good fit.

If you are starting a brand new project, I would also take a look at Faktory. It provides language independent queueing system, which means this logic doesn't have to be implemented across different languages and can use a thin client such as faktory_worker_ex."

Ah yes. We all know that Japanese Americans were universally underperforming compared to other ethnicities in terms of economic, educational, and civic success until the few tens of thousands of dollars some of them received in 1988 *completely changed the situation*.

Japanese Americans are a great example of the process that I described in my previous comment: Initial ostracism and persecution gradually went away (with the notable exception of WW2) as Japanese put their heads down, worked hard, and went from farm workers to farmers, gardeners and houseboys to doctors and lawyers. All while affirmative action was never in their favor and despite East Asians immigrants legally forbidden from obtaining citizenship after arrival.

Their story of gradual progress is one that almost every other ethnic group in the US has seen told in its own histories. Let me repeat: Why hasn't this happened to black Americans, despite their all possessing US citizenship, command of English, and an increasing panoply of legal and societal strictures designed specifically for their benefit?

> Medical ethics is being thrown out the door and those pushing for vaccine coercion seem completely unable or unwilling to accept that that's what they're in favor of. And practically speaking, coercion, given the sickening and duplicitous politicization of the vaccine, is only going to result in skepticism toward the vaccine, which it has.

Ethics has always been a joke. A set of vague guidelines that wouldn't pass the stricter bar of being tested in court. It's basically anyone with a sliver of power playing judge and legislator.

I had not even considered the racial aspect. But I wonder, would it help to have black and Hispanic doctors reaching out to their respective demographics and talking to them about the vaccine? A booth with an "Ask me Anything" and shots available right away for those who change their mind?
This is one of those things that keep getting quoted but it really shows the difference between someone in academia and people who use the term in practice. As you say, the "hot hand" is only a myth when you get to redefine the meaning.

It's pretty crazy when you think about how many of Bach's fugue subjects are long, sprawling, compound lines.

Most counterpoint students would try as hard as possible to make their fugue subjects short, simple and constrained to a very small range. Otherwise they'd risk the overall texture getting too thick and the voices jumping around each other and accidentally creating an incoherent mess.

Meanwhile, Bach's fugue subjects-- like BWV 542-- are playing the lead while accompanying themselves. It's like van Halen's solo in Eruption, except Bach copy/pastes his solos on top of each other so that they help each other asplode together.

It shouldn't happen anymore, but what kind of braindead update system didn't check for that in the first place?

> One of the ongoing feedback items we’ve heard is how the apps that come preinstalled with Windows will reinstall after each upgrade – particularly noticeable for our Insiders that receive multiple flights per month. We’ve heard your feedback, and starting with Build 14926, when your PC updates it will check for apps that have been uninstalled, and it will preserve that state once the update has completed. This means if you uninstall any of the apps included in Windows 10 such as the Mail app or Maps app, they will not get reinstalled after you update to a newer build going forward.

"Oops, we totally forgot to consider that any users would want to uninstall this bloatware, so we just included it again as part of each update. And definitely no one inside our organization had personally uninstalled Candy Crush, pointed out this problem, and had their concerns ignored because we wanted to maximize the number of installs that our partners are paying us for. User experience is our highest priority, and what're you going to do about it, switch to Linux?"

From another outsider's perspective they have these same issues when it comes to just getting you a decent car in the first place. Some big tech influencer was posting on Twitter the other day about how he was accepting his new Model Y even though it was a piece of crap, because he was worried he'd get an even worse piece of crap if he sent it back based on photos he'd seen from other Model Y owners.

The biggest factor is that evolution made me to be a social creature. As a product of that evolution, I was also socialized to be empathic. Notion of consciousness is not necessary to create and explain morality.

BTW - We call people who will treat you like a screwdriver a psychopath (or bureaucrat :P). And people like that exists, they apparently do not estimate what it "feels like" to be you. Maybe because it does not feel anything like to be them? Or maybe consciousness is just property of existence and interaction, in the same way a color charge is a property of a quark, and so consciousness has nothing to do with high level behavior.

There are also people with lock-in syndrome. In most extreme cases they can not interact in any way besides maybe changing patterns of their brain activity in response to what's happening. We can try to establish trough contrived communication protocols if their responses make sense, sometimes just to ask if they even want to live like that.

There are also people in persistent vegetative state, where we are not be able to establish clear communication protocol. The whole thing is probably a multidimensional spectrum, depending on what damage these people suffered. So, it may be extremely hard to tell if they are aware and whether we should kill them / stop their life support or not.
Eh... People get emotional about their pre-established opinions. :D

> It sounds like you have another source of income. [...] I don't think you're exactly the kind of driver these companies are looking for

Uber/Lyft have said on various occasions that the majority of drivers are part-timer/casual. While being able to read books between trips might seem a bit of a privileged situation, many who do Uber for supplemental income don't have room to engage in luxury.

I personally know of someone who does deliveries as a side gig from a restaurant job (which is already grueling on its own) because they really need the extra cash and there's literally nothing else on the job market with the flexibility of gig economy stints.

This being true doesn't invalidate their point of the GP representing "consuming meat" in a bad light based on the acts of those cultivating factory-farmed meat. Nuance doesn't have to always be front-and-center, but when discussing a topic, i'd rather see major counter-points considered rather than omitted. Preferably with numbers and percentages stacked next to it.
The demographics of those who drive 15 year old cars and those who drive 5 year old cars are very different. I'd bet that the 15 year old demo contains more reckless/intoxicated drivers (i.e. young people)
The moment you make race a factor in your judgment, by you have become racist by definition. The only right way to treat people is without regards to race / color, but by judging them according to universal principles.

The fundamental flaw of CRT is that it denies color-blindness. It doesn't matter that CRT claims to have good intentions for making race a factor in your judgment, it is still racist. The (progressive) eugenicists of yesteryear had good intentions too, but were horribly evil. Somehow progressives keep falling for the same trap and history keeps repeating itself. It's like racism is baked into their DNA. In every era they attempt to judge based on race and justify it with their ostensibly good intentions. It was racist then and it's racist now, but somehow the current iteration of left wing racism is just as socially acceptable and fashionable as every previous iteration.

Also I have a problem with the view that systems are the main reason for individual experiences. Two factors make up your life: your environment and your decisions. Your decisions are the most important part. No matter how good your environment, you can ruin your life by your decisions. No matter how bad your environment you can improve your life with your decisions. Constantly externalizing blame is a surefire way to short circuit the learning process that leads to self improvement. Having said that, I do agree that systems should be improved and tweaked, but it should be done carefully, because it's far easier to damage a reasonably effective complex system than to improve it.
Yeah, I've got it. Citing the source is kind of basic. But, by itself, alone, it doesn't amount to much, if they can't even keep fidelity to the original source, if they can't even begin to understand the content they are citing. And this thing happens all the time.
Self preservation. I am uneasy with killing a human for food because that means they could kill me for food. It is unlikely I will be killed by a cow anytime soon.

I don’t actually see how Amazon stewardship is a bad thing. Corporate custody has been the case for several useful programming languages, with Java, .NET, and Go being obvious and popular examples. Replacing a core team of advocacy-oriented developers with production-oriented developers might give the project a positive new direction too. After all, a popular, design-by-committee compiled language with RAII memory management that targets LLVM already exists.

If contributors can’t tolerate corporate sponsorship, then there is an abundance of languages with little to no commercial interest, especially those of academic origins.
Anything that bears fruit is relying on an animal to come by and eat that fruit so that the seeds will be spread (either because the pit is hard to eat and the animal drops it, or because the seeds survive the animal's digestive tract).

There are also several fungi and protozoans who migrate between the digestive tracts of animals that eat each other (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii for instance).

I'm not enough of a biologist to defend the point especially well, but doesn't it make sense that one would use different types of reasoning to manage relationships with different types of life?

C# could probably rival C++ with its sheer keyword count thanks to LINQ's SQL-like syntax (that most people don't use anyway since you can just use regular methods instead), but in contrast to Stroustrup's monstrum, it's an incredibly well-designed language. Some of the core language features are built on top of foundations thoughtfully introduced many language versions earlier, all the way to C# 1.0.

Still, the cruft accumulates, and I dread the day when the language will become recognizably C++ish. Feels like things are getting out of control already - most C# programmers I've met know/use barely any of the features introduced after C# 6.0. (They're pretty good, though. The features, I mean. But the programmers also)
The sad part is that farm animals that are smart are a hassle so they are often "discarded". We are basically causing (un)natural selection for stupidity.
Hardly. Its an alternative explanation for the fundamental issue at hand. Firing nurses is going to be multiplicatively more devastating than the marginal returns of vaccinating more people (hint most the population should be immune by now as long as those vaccines hold). All recent actions seem insincere and politically vengeful.

edit. A post of mine above is flagged for stating that we should stop firing immune nurses. Is there something controversial about that statement?
