Not being technically savvy is such a strawman. I'm not missing the point of video streaming. Most of my career is because of video streaming.

If you build a house of straw because you're not technically savvy to build it out of brick doesn't mean you get to complain that the wind blew it down even if it was a big bad wolf. If you don't do something right, it's nobody's fault but your own. It's often called growing pains. Backups are a lesson best learned before they are needed but regularly only thought about after data is lost.

it is remarkeable how many people, at the highest levels of academia and otherwise still don't understand this or are disingenuous about why these three things together are so important, above all.

truth does not stand on an island.

many things have varrying degrees of truth and thus one must ask why one truth is being brought to your attention and not other truths ( trustworthiness , and importance )
the bringer of truth must have sincere intentions for his subject who he brings the truth to, and the bringer must also have discretion, because you don't want any moron wasting your time with brittany spiers views on physics.

truth can be totally irrelevant an unimportant, or worse, it can be important but brought to you for the wrong reasons, such as blocking out other truths that are judged more essential for the subject, by the bringer of truth.

Flat Earth folks these days mostly seem to just delight in being contrarian/trolls. I'm sure there's some unstable folks in there like any belief system/group though.
I don't think you got the memo. "Science" is the new religion. Tread lightly amongst the humans.
For a start, Youtube doesn't allow much discussion. It's completely optimized for preaching, not for listening.
I've already banned youtube, along with all tyrannical platforms. People should be more proactive.

Every situation, but I was trying to frame it more softly because I was expecting a large percentage of these comments to say "I don't just not mind being tracked, I want it now!" and similar thoughts.

sadly, it isn't tough enough to support a snowplow. Because it would be the best snowplow vehicle you could buy if it was a bit tougher.
More concretely, there are also concerns with one side judging their own arguments (be them of any of the big three types) as valid without concern for their ability to convince others.

If you treat logos, pathos, and ethos as a self-certified checklist, you are doomed to fail as well. You must provide arguments of each three types that are convincing to others. Above all else, preaching to the choir is (IMHO) the biggest problem in my political environment (USA).

> They weren't?

Happy for you to provide evidence that shows otherwise.

> Why would the good faith actors get punished for the actions of bad faith actors?

Would or should? They shouldn't get punished, but this precisely the point. Bad faith actors get far more attention than good ones. So this is already happening regardless of whether you want it to.
What is your definition of "power"? Because I think your perspective is incredibly naive.

Google has immense power, far more than most governments.
Governments all around the world are often manipulated by corporations like Google, laws are written based off these influences of power, shaping democracy, all the time.

If they really wanted to they could do almost anything to you. They could easily steal your identity, they could frame you, they could put you in prison, they could do basically anything.
Is this legal? Obviously not, but power extends further than what is legal.
I think they're obsessed with optimizing conditions for their country to flourish in the medium to long term. If only we had politicians in the West who thought like that. We could call it "socialism with western characteristics" ;) I'm a citizen of a European country and I regard our politicians as literal traitors. They serve the interests of an elite minority which has power in the USA.
I have values and principles that I want to see embodied by the society in-which I participate. The vaccination rate is (to my knowledge) the only metric being used to validate these policies that I can directly and consciously affect. So I do.

If I was unwilling to tolerate even the minute risk of not getting the jab, my position wouldn't be based on values or principles, it'd simply be aesthetic preference.

As it stands, I keep an eye on my health, keep an extra distance when I'm around others, mask when it makes sense, and keep social interaction to a reasonable minimum. If the mortality rate of covid increases significantly I'll reconsider my position in light of the new numbers, though I don't know if I'll reach a different conclusion.
To deal with the inflexibility, it could be encased in a soft artificial shell.
We started with 2 doses. Nobody talked about second or third boosters, because only a first booster has been recommended for those most at risk.

Is this the kind of information you're worried will be deleted, that is, gross misunderstandings of reality in the best case, outright lies to generate engagement in the worst?
I've been working on this for about a year, and learned a lot about various elements of electronics and product design. Let me know if you have any questions on how it's designed, built, tools used, launching a product during the MCU/IC shortage etc.

It's aimed at hydroponics, aquariums, swimming pools etc, but also serves as a demo of a (small so far!) production device programmed in Rust.

By "leadership", I meant those that founded and shaped the religion. IOW, the ones that led by example and showing skin in the game. The "leaders" you are referring to are anything but.
Looking at ONS and NHS statistics for deaths and using the same criteria to look at deaths within X days of a vaccine, and adjusting the excess deaths in each as compared to the baseline rate of deaths in previous years, adjusted by age group, has been considered anti vaccine propaganda for a lot of this covid debacle.

UNfortunately what your family member is doing is actually the mirror opposite of what the official reports and mainline consensus has been, that all deaths in X days of a positive covid test are caused by covid but that no deaths after vaccination are are caused by vaccines. Also consider that harms from covid have been reported averaged amongst all age groups to give and inflated risk for the young, while risks from vaccination have been averaged amongst all age groups to lower the stated risk to the young. I state this last point just to illustrate how deliberate misinformation has been government policy with regards to covid stats, so the same technique used by anti vaxxers is of no surprise whatsoever.

When the mainstream consensus uses precisely the behaviour nudging abuse of data as a conspiracy theorist, do not be supposed when some people are unable to see what the problem is.
I'm not sure that 'banning' and 'changing the algorithm so that it doesn't pop up' is meaningfully different. We can just assume that YT hasn't banned this content, but it never ever shows up in recommendations. The effect would be practically the same.

It's a hard problem to solve.
I'm starting to see anti-scientific method memes in the dark corners of the internet. I mean this literally: they suggest that the scientific method is a tool of the progressive left, and that the proper thing to do is reject it. They specifically call out the "I fucking love science" language used in insipid places like Facebook, and more broadly, must be referring to phrases when get cast about such as "follow the science."

Of course nearly everything is politicized currently, and science has certainly been politicized in the past, (Galileo, Scopes Monkey Trial, Creationism in schools, etc.) but that doesn't make this latest round any less troubling.

I want to be clear here that I'm not suggesting that science is "left" or "right," or that the left is blameless here. (they're definitely not blameless) That said, I do think it's very interesting to see a strict attack on the scientific method itself, which is at least to my eyes seems new. For example in the old Creationism debates of the 90s and early 2000s, the certainty of specific scientific evidence is what was brought into question. Perhaps that was only because the debates had to happen in the public eye, and have some air of validity though.
I'm of the same opinion. A user's subscriptions seemingly matter very little nowadays, I've noticed. The focus on recommendations is so heavy I'm very often recommended videos I've already watched, some of them multiple times; very few recommendations are videos (old or new) from channels I'm subscribed to.

I've also noticed that many content creators are now offering email newsletters (such as Tom Scott) and encouraging subscribers to connect outside of YouTube, presumably as a response to this.
I think they meant that the limiting of free speech often serves to suppress the public voicing of an 'inconvenient truth.'
The problem is it is not just one mistake. Just look at the experts saying you don't need masks at the beginning of all of this. They didn't just get it wrong, they outright lied and admitted as much. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Ok, not "solved" in a "everything just works and nobody notices" way, but they have a way forward. The "shared-nothing Actors" model is well demonstrated to work well in Erlang, Elixir etc., so it seems like a reasonable way forward for a language like Ruby or Python.
>Overemployment is not an entirely new phenomenon. It’s been an “open secret” in the tech industry for years, says an overemployed worker in his late 30s in the US Bay Area who goes by ‘Isaac’ in the overemployment community. He’s been working two jobs for years, and says he makes more than $600,000 doing it.

Shoddy journalism by the BBC.... literally 1 source which basically is a anonymous worker promoting his blog and trying to sell his book.

Right and Trump got boo'ed for saying people should get vaccinated because he's reaping the consequences of speaking without thought. I didn't say they're stupid, I said they're fools for believing what is obvious a bunch of politically motivated lies, science is no place for emotion.

What these people do lack is the ability to think critically about the subject, examine their biases, and challenge their assumptions. If we can't change people's mind with the truth, what possibly could make them realize they have been duped?

I'm fresh off a visit to the Technisches Museum in Vienna which has an absolutely superb collection of steam-age technology from the first and second industrial revolutions. It is a steampunk's playground. The collection also does an awesome job of putting the past 300 years of technical progress into a kind of perspective. I am an environmentalist, but the objections to heavy industry seem a bit quaint when faced with the weight and capability of all modern society.

Maybe I'm a bit humbled right now. It seems increasingly ridiculous that we could solve our pollution problems with solar panels and trees and equally ridiculous that we could put any of our magic back in Pandora's box. I'm not sure what the solution is. Maybe there isn't one but to deal with the consequences as best we can.
Science used to be a self-funded hobby of the upper classes. Then after that came the tenure system, where people had at least had safe and stable emplyment. Nowadays there are legions of precariously employed scientists desperately trying to hawk their science.
> I'm a passenger in a car dozens of feet away, and both me and the truck are moving around.

That's the least common use case. They actually work well for their intended use cases, which are (a) a passenger scanning it from a care a few feet away moving at relatively the same speed (such as on the highway), and (b) the code being scanned while waiting at a stop light (maybe dozens of feet away).
What should happen here? Do we not allow YouTube to ban content they don’t want on their platform? What type of content? Just anti vax or anything that’s not illegal? Should YouTube be forced to host racist content, porn etc? Is it just YouTube or any site with user generated content like forums? What about illegal content? Who gets to decide what’s illegal? Is YouTube the law enforcement on YouTube or do we need to go through courts to take down content that’s potentially illegal?

Slippery slopes go both ways.
The problem is that successful startups often start out claiming that which is impossible.

Uber was impossible, because it was illegal.

Amazon was impossible, as you couldn't pack and ship stuff that cheaply.

Personal computers were at one point considered ludicrous.

> would reach a better immunity they will never get with the vaccine.

This isn't accurate - there's nothing indicating that the immunity from vaccine + exposure is worse than the immunity from exposure alone.
I am not arguing either way, I'm just trying to explain how some people see the world. I also don't really understand the point of your comment, because of course there are irrational people who have all sorts of beliefs.
No kidding. Not to mention the disdain for things that are nearly essential in rural areas: 4wd trucks and gas/diesel instead of electric vehicles, or the right to carry firearms.

I live in rural PNW. Electric is at LEAST 20 years from being a feasible and reliable solution. ...and I say that as a civil engineer with some specialization in creating EV charge stations. 30-50 might be even be more plausible.

When I'm in the field, small things can turn into life-and-death situations pretty quickly out here when you're an hour and a half drive from cell reception, followed by another hour and a half drive to town with a small hospital/sheriff station, and you're up a dirt road where a tow-truck simply won't come. And the geology is notoriously unstable and slides/washouts/fallen-trees happen constantly.

My clients LIVE in those places, I only visit. They drive big diesel rigs (They often NEED to transport big heavy stuff, and you can store diesel for long time periods in a tank onsite), and a lot of them also have transfer tanks in the back of their truck for extra range. (Because it's needed!) They also almost all carry food/water/shelter/A chainsaw/tools/a gun/etc in their vehicle for a reason. Self-rescue is all you got a lot of the time.
It’s the same upside-down on the mini 6, the skew just goes in the other direction then.
Also, perfect traction control at each wheel. And the ability to do tank turns, or to get out of deep snow/sand
I don't expect people to be informed. Because they're not. Even now.

I find it hilarious that people think they are informed on all the topics they consider themselves informed on. There is simply way too much information out there to be well-informed on all of it.

I can't be an infectious disease expert. I can't even be reasonably informed on all the stuff that goes on surrounding it. I need a sieve. I need filters. I need vetters. I need vouching. I need those who are informed on a topic to do all the legwork and present the results. And that's not you or other randos on the internet.

And that's what we've actually lost. We've lost all the filters and firewalls that stopped the majority of misinformation. With everyone having a global megaphone to broadcast their every thought, it's become harder to discern between those who are informed on a topic and those who aren't.

The world's signal to noise ratio is weighted too heavily towards noise.
I would be curious to hear what someone who’s written both go and Ruby with a type system (forget what it’s called) is.

My view from the outside is that while Rubyists have correctly figured out that being strongly typed is an advantage, it’s an awkward retrofit, and just starting with a language that has a native type system would be better.

To your point, the calculation as a N-thousand person profitable company is very different from what those companies would pick today were they starting from scratch.
Search for independent masseuses, they're generally cheaper and — if you do your research — much better! Perhaps check Thumbstack or Groupon, but definitely make sure to read the reviews to find Pros.

Happy that you've gotten a glimpse of the great feeling with the mobilization techniques; a Swedish massage is a bit tense, but the after-feeling is 100x better.

I literally consider it a medical expanse every month when I go, and it is.

Best of luck!
Remember Wuhan lab outbreak ? It took 9 months for mainstream media to present it as plausible (France). Before that, it was called a "conspiracy theory", synonym to a fable. What did you think happened to people speaking about it on twitter, facebook or youtube before mainstream media greenlighted this theory ?
Think about what you're actually saying: most of the world's coronavirus experts have some kind of link to one of the world's leading laboratories' researchers, colleagues, or funders. Would you expect anything else?

Suppose something strange happened and there were suspicions that it was CERN that was involved. Now a letter gets penned by the world's top particle physicists saying it's highly unlikely that the experiments at CERN would be involved. What do you suppose the likelihood would be that those particle physicists would have links to the researchers, colleagues or funders of CERN?
If "assessment" is "what are the risks of outcomes", then that is probably science, right?

Risk Tolerance is the political / value laden part.
I would define “far left” as revolutionary communists, of which there are very few and they’re mostly very young people on Twitter. But the few actual revolutionaries I know are doing the same crap as the right wing militias, there are just a lot fewer of them.

Your average leftist is simply disillusioned with electoral politics writ large; they’re tired of voting for guys like Obama who promise change but then still spend a trillion dollars turning brown children into skeletons. But there’s absolutely a feeling that we’re running out of time and more drastic solutions are on the horizon.

Some join something like DSA which still nominally participates in the electoral system and others build mutual aid networks to circumvent capitalist control.
The difference is it's possible to believe that people spreading antivax misinformation are dangerous morons for objective reasons rather than just because it's a popular position.
Wouldn't any long term effect show by now? E.g. Astra Zenica's was pulled after it was shown to give clots.

I guess Youtube would supress reports of that now until it became official news ...

How are engineers who introduce XSS issues on production systems "ok" in 2021?

Makes me doubt the rest of your statement too. But mainly because I'm actually a Apple user myself so I know for a fact that neither the software nor the hardware people to be "top".
Not that it really matters but mine does not say "iPhone Findable after Power Off" under the slider and I have find my iPhone enabled on 14.8.
In 20 years I’ve never had a single one in the tech industry (which was easily ~16 of those 20). When I couldn’t find work after my parents died, I had to take a call center job at $10/hr, literally the ONLY non-manual labor jobs in that area that didn’t require a medical license. That job was horrible and did indeed drug test. For good reason too - average applicants were dumb as fuck to begin with, if they were on drugs too-some were even high or drunk at work-I mean my god…
> In schools, we suppress all sorts of bad ideas

No, fortunately that is not worldwide practice. "Challenge", possibly, «suppress», not everywhere.

Would suppressing the discussion about eugenics worsen the matter: yes, for example by having to restart the discussion from stage one. The naïve would retain naïve ideas, unchallenged.

Here's a tweet I found while trying to work on a landing page. https://twitter.com/GoodMarketingHQ/status/13388222017730560...
> If you believe vaccines have no potential negative effect beyond 1 week, you'll have to give a serious thought as to why you believe Covid can have long term effects.

I mean, covid can kill you, which is kind of a long-term negative effect? Surely you're not arguing that the vaccine is equally likely to have that particularly long-term effect, so then I'd ask why you think it's equally likely to have other long-term effects?

> Also past vaccine history means absolutely nothing. You can't assume the next bridge is built safely just because you have never seen a bridge fall before.

Really? I mean, do you...generally avoid bridges where you live?

It seems to me that if bridges don't collapse frequently, that would indeed be evidence that whoever is building / designing / approving them is doing something right, and that "the next" bridge is also unlikely to collapse?
> Attempts to scientifically “rationalize” policy, based on the belief that science is purified of politics, may be damaging democracy.

Could anyone explain to me what the phrase "may be damaging democracy" means? I've been hearing it a lot over the last several years, and I've been wondering what democratic ideal people who use this phrase have in mind. It looks as if independent opinion-making based on one's trusted sources "may be damaging democracy", because most of us are not equipped to identify fake news; open and free exchange of opinions on social media "may be damaging democracy" for the same reason plus due to the tendency of falling into warring tribes; and now this tagline from the article claims that bowing to the experts may also be damaging democracy. Is there anything that doesn't, and what does it all mean?
The big thing they don't tell you in CS class is that constant factors matter far more than asymptotic complexity most of the time. (There are a few exceptions though.)
> A private company shouldn't get to pick and choose what opinions are valid

They aren't. Their not deciding universal truths. They're deciding what content they want to host on their platform, which they operate and pay for. You have no control, nor any say, in what content that is. Go make your own.

And I'd gladly vote in favor of a break up of all the big tech firms.
very different workload from what Ruby is generally used for.

Ruby is generally used for a lot of things, including scientific computing. I'm using it to process sound and make videos about sound, for example. Audio processing isn't too far off from the type of hot loop an emulator would have, so I hope to see benefits from YJIT in my own work, and will also try TruffleRuby once I've finished my current round of video editing.
Funny how universal in nearly all countries the toilet roll hoarding came about ???.
