The YouTube app on Apple TV is absolutely atrocious.

I can’t believe either Apple or Google think it’s acceptable — it must be one of the most-used apps on tvOS, and is easily the worst I’ve ever come across.

It seems to be built with Cobalt [1], so it’s basically HTML5, pretending to be a native app.

A short list of flaws which have infuriated me for months:

• Scrolling is completely broken. Scroll down a playlist, and it stops after 10 or so videos, hangs, then loses your scroll position.

• When you start watching a video, the UI is almost completely unresponsive for the first 5 seconds exactly. You can exit the video, but the title/channel/details are totally hidden for exactly 5 seconds, for some bizarre reason.

• Navigating the app is like wading through molasses, even on the newest Apple TV 4K. It’s so unbearably slow.

• Even if your YouTube account is verified, age-restricted videos refuse to play. You’re told to “switch to your primary account” to watch them, but, I’m already in my primary account!

• A few times I’ve left the app open on a paused video. 20 minutes later, with the Apple TV screensaver now running, the video randomly starts playing again.

YouTube is my primary source of video content — I can’t remember the last time I watched an actual TV show. Many of my friends say the same thing. Come on YouTube, get it together!

While he was not a US citizen, he is involved in a crime committed in the US. Just like if an American had hired an art thief to steal a painting from a European gallery.

The legal concept of extraterritorial jurisdiction is extremely complex and nuanced, but primarily falls upon the diplomatic power of the country that believes you broke their laws. (If you find this interesting you might enjoy reading about US v. Van Der End, in which a Dutch smuggler was arrested and charged in the US for sailing drugs to Canada)

However all of this is moot because he made the mistake of traveling to the UK and is currently being held by the British. In addition to leaking US secrets he also leaked GCHQ secrets and can be charged under the Official Secrets Act if extradition fails.
This is cool! Congrats on the first release.
> “something is different in this crisis vis a vis all prior crisis”

How about that, during this crisis, workers risked catching a deadly disease? Many have seen relatives and friends die.

The financial crisis didn’t make going to work potentially deadly. Covid-19 did.
Same, also amazing how simple it is to implement a PID controller and how well the results are. I use them all the time for computer mechanical control interfaces.

There are supposed to be better controllers but dang PID just work.
So from bad to worse if true. Do you have evidence or a link to this?

If the US believes that he has a duty, and the US has the power and will to enforce that belief, then for all practical purposes, he does have that duty. That's all duties are, really.

What gives the US the power to enforce their views here are a combination of many different factors. The fact the crime in question was committed against the US and in the US (even if Assange was not physically located in the US, the crime happened here, and Assange is accused of being an accessory to that crime). The fact that Assange is physically located in the territory of a close ally of the US. The fact that that ally has no particular love of Assange either. And many other smaller things.

This is a bizarre take. The recovery from 2008 was the slowest recovery in US history (marketed as the longest period of growth in US history), and it probably permanently damaged the size of the workforce. Prime age employment was down IIRC 10% for years.

Is something a "joke" so long as it is said during a stand-up routine? Because I don't believe declaring yourself a member of "team TERF" (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) expressly in line with J.K. Rowling is much of a "joke." It's like saying "if that makes me a segregationist, call me George Wallace." It sounds more like an unambiguous statement that you align with opponents of trans existence.

I understand the points you are making. Just don't agree with the implication that this information should be suppressed from the public.

Some of these treatments have very low risk profile. Ivermectin, Zinc, Vitamin D, are basically harmless to take.
For example, if the 50+ studies are wrong that Ivermectin offers benefit, than at worse it does nothing, but a good chance based on the studies that it does offer a benefit.

If they’re just another Joe Schmoe, they’ll be hung to dry. If they have connections, they not only won’t be extradited, they’ll be smuggled out of the country they committed bald-faced murder in to turn it into a question of extradition when it was not.

As an ex-Googler in the Information Security Engineering team who has looked at our implementation of password authentication, I confirm this is a feature, not a bug. (Some old mobile devices auto-capitalize of the first character typed in a text field.) That said, I can't remember of the top of my head if we just ignored the case altogether or if the logic was more restrictive (eg. if first char is uppercase, also allow its lowercase version.) Last time I looked at the code was 6 years ago.

Pretty sure this is a detail documented somewhere public-facing
Clearly it cost a lot of money, in developer salaries, to develop WSLg. Microsoft needs to recoup that cost, and I suspect that if they give it away for free to everyone who has already paid for Windows 10, they won't break even.

So.

They have two choices. Either sell an addon, or bundle it with the next Windows version and try to hide the cost.

I'm guessing both would be unpalatable to folks like this, who want everything for free.
> there has been no trial.

And there won't be. The whole thing is already way too dirty to bring to trial. Word is the CIA was paying the security firm WikiLeaks hired to provide them with his conversations with lawyers and basically everything else. There's a court case in Spain going on right now over this.

Did you even look at the spec for "datetime-local"?

> One thing to note is that the displayed date and time formats differ from the actual value; the displayed date and time are formatted according to the user's locale as reported by their operating system, whereas the date/time value is always formatted YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm. When the above value submitted to the server, for example, it will look like partydate=2017-06-01T08:30.
Employee referrals do you no good if you don’t want the job.

They are massively useful if you see a job you want and can’t figure out how to convince the Applicant Tracking System or non-technical HR rep that you’re worthy despite a non-standard background.

then the states that cut off the extra unemployment early would have seen greater job growth then the states that kept it up. they didn't.

Maybe that's the silver lining.

Anyone who's opinion exists outside of the current groupthink is forced to leave these big platforms. It makes it harder for the average person within this group to express themselves because these platforms make it easy. But many will and new platforms will form outside of big tech. These new platforms will have time and space to rethink how they operate and perhaps they will bring in a new era of consumer control.

The unemployment expansion ended July 31. Yes, it’s relevant, but the article is about this month, not two months ago.
My point is that regardless of the validity of her claims, this is a good opportunity for society to draw closer inspection towards Apple. It’s similar to how Susan Fowler’s revelations finally provided the opportunity for society to turn its attention towards Uber.

No one is saying Apple is inherently guilty, but it has assumed a societal perception of inherent innocence, skating by with lack of inspection while other tech giants have not. And all that wealth correlates to power and influence, does it not? And generally it should behoove us to inspect the powerful and influential.

For too long any criticism of Apple has been easily shut down, even though they’re not even the plucky underdog on the verge of bankruptcy they once were!
if your pw was "abcd", then "Abcd" should work, right? Because it auto-capitalizes the first character of the first word. If your pw was "ABCD", then "abcd" (all-small) should be accepted because it auto-capitalizes and then you press the capital key once for caps, so it becomes all small.

I run the education department of a large makerspace in southern California and also teach a 3D printing course and run a 3D print farm as a side hustle. I enjoy reading the comment sections for the thoughtful commentary. Hacker news is my go-to news aggregator.
An important piece of modern (4G/5G) cell network design is that cells can have overlapping coverage to provide extra capacity in an area. The top level statistic that 52% of sites were down does not necessarily mean that 52% of the area was out of coverage at that time. It would be very expensive to heavily reinforce every small cell in every neighborhood for a large scale disaster, but would make sense to reinforce enough macro sites with wide area coverage to maintain low bandwidth emergency communications (voice+text) across the entire region.

One can wish. The more likely end game seems to be one where no one actually bothers using a real Linux installation, as you can do everything you'd need Linux for on your Windows machine. But your Windows machine has become a 'trusted computing' device that only boots and runs most software if it 'hasn't been tampered with'. Say, by actually installing Linux on it.

A newspaper has a start and an end. That's as simple as it needs to be for me to move on with my day.

On the internet, the news is endless and the information overload constant. Set aside social media. I get a headache just reading an average article on a news website.

A paragraph will have multiple links, which is incredibly distracting on its own. But that is compounded by the fact that paragraphs themselves are broken up by a "Related Articles" block of links.

Add in a dynamic sidebar with the latest stories, a live stock ticker in the top corner, a banner showing "breaking news", and it's no wonder people might pick up a newspaper again.

I've never been a fan of skeuomorphic design. I'm sure there are good examples of it somewhere. My memories of early apple and iOS apps implementations with fake physical things e.g. desks or bookshelf's, rendered in the background and such made the app feel cheap and had less class. I felt this way even before skeuomorphic design started to become less fashionable.
49% didn't want it to happen though. At least they would be mad, right?

EDIT: Even more curious, the majority of this accounts otherwise normal posts seem to be [dead] as well. Is this a result of HN shadowban, or is this outside influence by a very motivated dissenter?

I think its more basic:

1. the restaurant they used to work at isn't there anymore

2. they moved back in with the parents and stopped giving a shit about the future

3. still living off their unemployment and stimulus...it will go to zero one day, but not today

4. even with a substantial raise, most jobs they qualify for will still leave them impoverished, so whats the point

America's unemployed need deflation more than they need a raise. A 50% drop in housing costs will serve them better than a 15% raise. The number of Americans who would benefit from a substantial deflation rises every day.

Yep.

Being able to create an honest, profitable business pulling in 'only' 500k$/annum. Must suck to be that guy.

It's real easy to play the 'grass is always greener' game. Everyone has their own aims in life. Some want money, some want to live a life they're proud of and pretty much everyone is some combination of the two. But trying to frame someone establishing a business with 10x-20x growth as a failure, assuming they're able to support themselves and believe in the value of their venture, is absurd.
> Because when you threaten users with it, most of them will comply to avoid legal actions, even if they are clearly in the right.

> Then add cases where "are clearly in the right" is a lot murkier to decide, and they will comply even more.

And this is why courts should be inherently biased against the corporation. They simply have more power than individuals and without checks and handicaps they will abuse the justice system in order to essentially bully people into compliance.

In my country, the laws and courts recognize the power differential between consumers and corporations. It's a simple concept but it essentially means corporations must prove their innocence when challenged in court. It's great, especially since everyone has access to legal counsel. Anyone who feels their rights have been violated can hold the companies accountable for it and it's up to them to produce documents and other evidence showing they followed all consumer protection laws.

I suppose it depends what you mean by "for tech." If it's to work in tech locally, the situation with smaller cities is likely to be mostly a function of what jobs are available there. And note that many tech employers--indeed most until fairly recently--were in office parks not downtown.

If you have more flexibility with remote work, there are a ton of smaller cities that many people like. You mentioned Nashville. Some others that come to mind are Raleigh, Minneapolis, Portsmouth NH, Portland ME... The one caveat I would make with a number of these cities is that the walkable (gentrified) downtown is often pretty small so it's really a very different experience from living/working in a large city.

The ivermectin stuff is absolutely not harmless. People are taking it instead of seeking medical attention or getting vaccinated, and that’s leading to both a prolongation of Covid and serious harms to individuals and the people around them (and the people around them and so on).

As an immigrant in Canada, I always thought Canada is the entry door in the West for China.

Amiga 3000T Review (1992)
I’m so glad you mentioned this. Trying to navigate to a channel from a YouTube video you’re watching is significantly impaired by the fact that the default behavior is to scrub rapidly in the video timeline, and you have to provide a very distinct “break away” gesture to navigate from the scrubber to the channel controls.

It’s also extremely difficult to like and dislike videos in the app. You have to break away from the scroll bar, then hit a gear and then navigate to the like/dislike button.

I’m glad it’s not just me who hates this.

Welcome, kcrx. *insert a condescending comment here, short of dropping a gem*.
There is actually a very good reason why a VC-backed/VC-backable business shouldn't take 100M from Softbank at a 1B valuation:

Because it removes the possibility of exiting for tens or hundreds of millions--the preference stack will eat up all the equity.

Most VC backed companies that exit do so for far less than a B; if the startup has been responsible about fundraising then a 50M, 100M, etc exit can be life-changing for the founders. Raising too much makes this impossible and turns the whole venture into much more of an all-or-nothing affair.

Of course, the VCs don't care: they make money from the big winners, so they could care less about a 50M exit, but the founders should not.

I was specifically talking about green hydrogen use for a specific range of applications that it is suited for and has no bettwr options. We already use generic hydrogen for things on a wide scale, so that makes the headline basically meaningless.
