> So how did deleting this make YouTube money?

I assume they remove "violent" videos to appease advertisers. In this case, they did not consider the value of the video being removed, instead prioritizing the safety of the content with respect to the advertisers.
Congressional hearings?
Good question. They don’t make this obvious, but:

- you don’t get the article, you get a browser window

- they only have about 1/2 of the articles (!)

Quoting from their FAQ:

Q. What does "renting" mean?

Renting articles is the simple and affordable way to get the high quality articles that you want, with the same layout and formatting as the printed or PDF versions.

"Rented" articles are available through DeepDyve's cloud-based service and can be viewed through your browser from anywhere you have an internet connection.

Read full text articles as often as you want during the rental period, and depending on your plan, you may print a limited number of pages per month. However, rented articles cannot be downloaded or shared.

Q. Why can't I rent, download, or print some articles?

DeepDyve works with many publishers but unfortunately not all of them have given us permission to let our users rent, download, or print some/all of their articles.

If an article is marked as "Preview" it means we only have permission to display the abstract but nothing else. As for downloading PDF’s, approximately half of the articles in our collection can be purchased and downloaded directly from DeepDyve. For the remaining half, DeepDyve provides a link that takes you to the publisher site where you can purchase the PDF directly from them.
Because most customers do want this feature. It’s not being “forced,” it’s just a default.
I wouldn't make it too dependent on traffic level or at least put upper and lower boundaries on it. This is necessary for anything that qualifies as infrastructure in my opinion. Otherwise you would completely kill any site for local content and it would disincentivise growth as
an end in itself.

Not really on topic but anything like that for art would be neat as well.
In Texas, as a schoolteacher, you must agree not to boycott Israel. Is boycotting violence?
Practically, it’s simply that this is a situation where higher foreclosures in the short team lead to fewer overall, as we get closer to enough affordable housing options for everyone (and providing public aid becomes cheaper for those who cannot afford anything.) It sounds like we have the same heart for renters and homeowners. Both of your insults are misplaced.

I love the idea of tidelift, and wish I could convince my org to use them. Unfortunately, $1500/month is pretty steep. It's a hard sell when competitors are an order of magnitude cheaper.

YouTube removing content on a whim is one of the primary reasons to join, watch, and upload to PeerTube.

No, not really, they developed business in Macedonia mostly and now clearly Albanian gangs are joining in. It is quite lucrative to post about anything controversial and they specialize in that kind of business.
Albanians do care about US, but as much as they can extract favors.

For example, Hillary was very popular (kind of not what you would expect) and they were able to make a lot on posting things about her for a long time, elections and after.
Which culture is that?

But still, you could slap 128 megs on an Amiga or Atari and upgrade the processor to be 10 times faster, and you could do all these things. JPEGs were slow because no FPU. (At least on my Amiga.)

That setup described above would be extremely underpowered compared even to phones today, but still could do most things we do now, including spreadsheets.

A Raspberry Pi is passively cooled and could be a daily rider, even with todays bloated software.
It's not "forced" on you at all. You can disable it with one setting change.
There are folks out there that believe some level of content moderation is useful, and I’d like to understand their argument. If my conclusion is that it’s not robust, so be it.

But let’s run a thought experiment. Let’s say an idea shows up on Twitter that Asian people are ruining the US. It spreads and gains attention. People start killing, and citing the Twitter misinformation as a key motivator. Can the vast majority of society not agree that 1) this is a harmful idea and 2) reasonable people agree it is harmful. And therefore Twitter has a responsibility to remove that content?

So what? Let them curate whatever they want. There are other platforms to post my video to. Hell, I can create another one. I can create 50 others. I can create a mailing list and send to everyone on it. Are we going to argue wether spam filtering is censorship too?
Well yeah, hence "(somewhat simplified)". One is a lifting body that control its flight path and can decide whether to strike or to just keep flying for another 1000 miles, the other can slightly adjust its falling down path and wobble enough to hopefully confuse countermeasures.

You have met/know of more autistic people than you would think. Some more well known people:

- Dan Aykroyd
- Anthony Hopkins
- Satoshi Tajiri (creator of Pokémon)
- Greta Thunberg

Particularly in this industry, autism, ADHD and other's are overrepresented compared to the typical population averages.

I don't have autism myself (I do have ADHD), but I've met quite a few people who do. By the time they reach adulthood (and frankly a long time before), they're quite adept at masking [0]. Pretending to be a normal person to fit into a normal world.

It affects people in different ways and to different severities, particularly in terms of what kinds of accomodations are required. But they can be some of the most intelligent, caring, hard working people you'll come across.

It's problematic because while disabilities suck, people thrive in spite of them. Myself included.

Even screening for Down syndrome feels quite problematic.

Some of the best ways to help people with autism is accomodate them, let them live without masking the things that often put normal people off.

Screening for Down syndrome or autism feels very close to screening for gender.

It's an arbitrary choice made on the foundations of very shaky knowledge. That's not your fault, the general understanding of different neurological conditions is woeful and full of prejudice.

There's legitimate reasons to terminate a pregnancy that are completely unrelated to trying to screen for a "normal" kid.

But this study does not appear to be coming from a good place, or a place of genuine understanding. This snippet highlights it:

> But “there’s a component of suggesting that autistic people don’t have empathy”, she says. “That has been extremely damaging and stigmatizing for autistic people, and is very much at odds with many autistic people’s lived experience, which is often a sort of uncontrollable excess of empathy.”

From personal experience some autistic people have incredible capacity for empathy.

There are literally millions of videos of street fights and sucker punches on youtube. Do they really intend to remove every single one of those videos?
Isn't the real issue that no one knows how they work?
Oh wow, that is a lot! Thanks!
Absolutely. The planar colour graphics on the ST were awkward to work with, but GFA made it easy.
True, but as others have said, if they never follow through on actually hiring you they reneged on a promise.

Again, it’s all shades of gray and likely heavily depends on your state of employment, but I’m not sure there are too many companies that would like to waste tens of thousands on lawyers when you bring a case.

At a minimum you might get some token payment to make you go away that helps cover some of the costs incurred.

Obviously an employment lawyer would be the best to determine if that works in your particular situation.

There's a useful article that was posted on HN recently about how metabolism doesn't change from years 20-60. Except for legitimate health conditions, the only reason for weight change from 21 years old is lifestyle and diet. Hence this thread's original topic is entirely plausible: there's no biological reason one shouldn't wear the same jeans one wore when they were 21. In your case it also holds true: it doesn't take extreme athleticism to be lean, just a healthy and moderate diet. That may not seem normal today where obesity is becoming an everyday thing, but the average weight today is what's unhealthy, not being able to wear the same jeans you wore at 21.

I didn't link any sources, but what I was seeing was ~500k long-haul truck drivers, >2MM heavy/semi truck drivers[0], and >3MM total truck drivers[1].

I think it will be some time before any significant portion of even the long-haul jobs go away, but will be a lot of jobs when they do start to vanish.

I live in London. There are spots in London where mobile data just randomly does not work. Clapham Junction - the busiest rail station in the country was often a black spot for me just a couple of years ago. The rail corridors in to London often have sections with no 4g and variable 3g.
There are probably a lot of different reasons why Electron apps can get laggy and unresponsive when sloppily written.

However, I notice a significant difference in responsiveness between VS Code and Sublime Text -- enough that I changed my workflow back to Sublime Text because the very slight latency difference annoyed me. So I do think there is a baseline difference between the frameworks used by those two apps that no amount of optimization can overcome. It's sort of like the acceleration difference between a truck and a sedan: sure, powerful trucks can sometimes out-accelerate anemic sedans. But if you put a similar drivetrain in both vehicles, the vehicle with less mass (or memory footprint, in the framework analogy) is going to win.

Then pro-vaccine people everywhere could start using google less and start talking about how Google has harmful/unscientific stances toward content, etc.
I hate politicizing this to my side vs their side

The fact is that the efficiency of the vaccine is being understood as we go. We started with the initial dose and are now considering second and third boosters because the efficiency diminished faster than expected

That’s beside the point of the WaPo article. YouTube is making the decision to remove any content that goes against vaccines, based in truth or not.
> I wonder if they’ve seen that it doesn’t impact churn as much as it saves them money, and they’re keeping it that way as long as possible.

Yes thats my suspicion too.
One would think. But corporations are people and have first amendment rights thanks to Citizens United.

Don't even need to prove you own your target video, just claim it and boom, you get what you want (redirect monetization to your MCM, takedown the video, etc).
Look into Street Epistemology[1]. Anthony Magnabosco on YouTube[2] is a good start.

Essentially, be interested and pose non-confrontational questions regarding the other person’s belief. Don’t argue for your point, have them explain theirs. If you ever reach a moment where the other person says “good question, I hadn’t thought of that”, stop the conversation. Let them mull it over in their own time, your job is done. You may or may not pick up the conversation another day, and either is OK.

Teach someone else this skill and you’ll have conversations where both parties are striving to understand each other instead of pushing their own agenda.

>>especially the all but guaranteed progressive impairment of cognition

Could you expand a bit more on this? What causes the impairment in cognition?
Disagree.

The problem with companies contributing to existing open source projects is that it creates even more unpaid labor for the maintainers, who now have to review and discuss and commit to future maintenance of those contributions.

Meanwhile they still aren't learning any money to allow them to commit more of their own time to the projects!
> Private companies seem to be the only ones with the resources to store all the video content we produce

Definitely not. It's an addressing problem. I guarantee plenty of people have the youtube video downloaded with more redundancy than Google, and the OP even has the source files. The problem is that Youtube became the canonical URL for referencing the video, assuming singular power to control that address based on the flawed protocol of http(s), and now there's going to be a lot of strife and damage as we readjust at a higher level.
Looks like “YouTube will remove all content against vaccines” quickly got replaced with this on the front page
I don't use VS Code, but I like having it installed; I'll occasionally launch it just to watch it update itself and/or its extensions, and enjoy the dopamine hit that comes from the satisfaction of getting my software up-to-date.
It should be automatic.
JITs don't need static type information, because they have that information available to them anyway. Cython is not a good example for performance comparisons, because while you can compile Python code unchanged with it, the performance gains are very modest, as Cython still uses the full, unabbreviated Python data model; it only cuts out the overhead of the CPython bytecode VM: everything else is still there, and that's what dominates. Cython also allows you to write C-with-a-Python-syntax, which then has the performance profile you'd expect from C - but you're not writing Python any more.
Ad blockers.
I have not seen a DSL allowing specification of a SLO.

Or any kind of nominal behavior convergence tooling or automation.
The fact that this software is named "Big Brother" is pretty on point.

Yeah, but wasn't it named Navstar-GPS?
What about competition?

Or well, not acting evil.
Yep, that's definitely hypocrisy. If you think a law or court ruling should be repealed or overturned, you shouldn't be advocating for other things using it as precedent in the meantime.

freedom of speech != freedom to hate speech

There's a difference, words, speech do cause pain and terrible issues in society and has to be moderated like a forum. It's quite simple.
I agree, but I think at least some of the animosity stems from how the author might not have been able to do this themselves if they wanted to:

> Without being limited by public API design, we could use (2,3)-trees, recursion-free tree-traversal, bit-arithmetic, incremental parsing, and other techniques to reduce the extension's worst-case update time-complexity (that is the time required to process user-input when a document already has been opened) from \mathcal{O}(N + E)O(N+E) to \mathcal{O}(\mathrm{log}^3 N + E)O(log
3
N+E) with NN being the document size and EE the edit size, assuming the nesting level of bracket pairs is bounded by \mathcal{O}(\mathrm{log} N)O(logN).

just hurts to see after having been burned by Apple's private APIs blocking legitimate app developers from doing something Apple will release next cycle themselves, even if it was to everyone's benefit and a net positive
So, I presume you would be totally okay if Youtube one day decided they just wanted to deplatform anything such as "tax the rich" or "defund the police" or "no child left behind" or any talk about Mark Zuckerberg, just because they can?

What if one day FB is under investigation and FB decides it will only carry FB propaganda and not let any dissenting voices, would that be totally cool?
Complaints about HN editorial policy are not encouraged on HN.

You do raise an interesting point though. Historically, the production & distribution of content intended for mass consumption was expensive, often requiring entire teams to collaborate. The mere existence of a piece of content was subject to filtering, from conception to production to distribution. Most of this filtering was invisible and possibly unconscious, intrinsic to the moral norms of society at large.

The Internet changed that. Content creation and distribution costs have cratered. A solo creator can spam hours of content every week. We are drowning in a quantity and variety of content unimaginable 30 years ago. Media distribution organisations now rely on soft distribution shaping ('boosting' / 'deboosting') and are starting to craft explicit censorship policies. It is very unclear how this will all play out in the long term, though I would caution that explicit legalism can only go so far.
That person is wearing the HTC Vive.
Is it time for a class action law suit against Apple?
As seen in the results of the EPIC vs APPLE law suit, the results from here https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/10/epic-games-v-apple-judge-reaches-decision-.html states that -->

Apple will no longer be allowed to prohibit developers from providing links or other communications that direct users away from Apple in-app purchasing. Apple typically takes a 15% to 30% cut of gross sales.

If EPIC can get the judge to at least win this part, then isnt it even easier to win this case? -->

Apple currently restricts developers from using other web frameworks other than Webkit. Because of this restriction, all Browsers on iOS use WebKit. And while forcing developers to not use their *own code/framework*, they also refuse to implement basic features like PushNotifications for PWA (web apps), a feature that is needed by hundreds of thousands of apps, and that has already been implemented on Android.

Question: If EPIC can win part of their Suit, then how is this case not a valid one? Either they allow developers to use their own WebFrameworks OR they allow push notifications for PWA apps (a much needed feature).

A good case?
The pragmatic thing is to remove the blatantly false content to prevent deaths. That’s not an emotional argument, that’s a logical one. Some percentage of people will watch anti-vax videos on YouTube, will believe them, will not vaccinate, and some percentage will die. Not having that content there would mean more people get vaccinated and fewer die. Nobody is dying from getting vaccinated.

Also, I would love to see what common ground looks like with anti-vaxxers. I don’t think they are willing to give an inch on this, but willing to be proven wrong.
Wow, what a great URL collection.

It should indeed work for HN posts (this was something we specifically wanted). For example, here's this thread at the time of indexing: https://pastebin.com/shx8miZk

You can also access all this yourself within the datasource_browsing_history_fts table of ~/.config/persistory/persistory.db (so named for legacy reasons...)

Regarding the point about accessing the content directly, this is something we're considering. In our testing there's a bit of tension between ideal text for searching (limited formatting) and ideal text for rendering (probably markdown). However, having the local db serve as your own personal archive.org is one of our secondary goals.

Edit: added a bit more context
> So what did you learn out of this, and what would you do differently?

The obvious lesson is "don't participate in bug hunting programs".
Depends on the field. For example, none of the IEEE or AIAA journals are available there.
By itself, it doesn't.

In the large, YouTube's terms of service are structured around retaining an audience (both in terms of individual and institutional choice... Without a TOS that at least nominally says what constitutes offensive content, businesses and schools block access to YouTube and that decreases viewership which decreases revenue potential). They are also structured around being a hospitable place for advertising, and advertising (in particular brand advertising) gets real gun-shy on spending dollars on content that might be significantly off the bead from "wholesome."

Whether or not this video in particular violates the TOS is debatable (though having never heard of this before this link on Hacker News, my naive read on it is that it's simple violent aggression and a display of unadulterated physical violence, which generally doesn't pass the TOS for graphic violence... "Content featuring anything listed above where the viewer is not given enough context to understand that the footage is dramatized or fictional").
