> Those are both misleading headlines.

No they're not. Discrediting creators do not disprove anything stated in the headlines.

> But also each individual channel here probably makes a few pennies and is not worth it for them to setup a whole contract for.

So if YouTube is gathering every penny made by small (or in other words, most) creators, maybe it isn't fair to pretend that YouTube profiting is for some greater good while bashing competitors for doing the same.

> The latter headline is about a recent issue where some creators force-disable all ads on their channel and instead insert their own sponsor ads in the video.

That's an "issue" YouTube would rather people talk about. In reality, it is irrelevant as it applies to every single video uploaded to YouTube. It just serves to unfairly discredit creators. And before you ask, yes, there are people who made the conscious decision of not monetizing their videos that were impacted by YouTube's new policy[1].

Good god no.

I'm, ironically enough, suggesting that misinterpretation of textual content is a bit of a problem :)

>reviews should be impersonal. A good review is inherently inspection and critiquing code, not the author

I can remember hundreds of times I've seen textual code reviews that were "just critiquing code" that were interpreted as a critique of the author.

It's particularly a problem when coders with slightly less social awareness than others write comments and don't pause to think how they might be interpreted. The example I gave in the comment above is just one of these.

No, you can't interchange limits like that.

In your case, when you say "sum" of the n identical things, you just mean multiplying n by the integer 1/n.

So you have 1 = 1/n *n != lim(1/n)lim(n). The last is an indeterminate form of 0*infinity and so you don't get to conclude that it's one.

It also makes my flesh crawl knowing that American kids at the age of 18 take up massive debt, while they aren't even considered mature enough to drink legally by the same country.

Large debt is a unique burden. One should not start their financial life with it. Much like skiing, running or doing calculus, one should do baby steps first before proceeding to make huge investments and committing oneself to a decade or more of indebtedness.

Many ancient societies held a strong taboo against massive debts - for a reason. For people outside prison, it is the closest you can get to enslavement in a completely legal way.
I'd agree, but what's the oil company play for relevance? I believe algal biofuels are a failure. Even plastics are under assault, so they can't retreat to materials. Nukes are too far from their backyard. All their carbon capture is pump-into-the-ground and pray/lie to the regulators.

Honestly though, I think this is what they have going for themselves:

- a large amount of smart, if unprincipled, engineers.

- a huge apparatus for government lobbying

- maybe a lot of capital, or at least some window to invest in switchover?

- generator knowhow (turbines, etc)

- global logistics systems

The government lobbying is the key. If there is one industry that could get LFTR/NextGenNuclear off the ground it would be the oil/gas people. The legacy nuclear industry has no ability or desire to produce a nuclear power gen solution that is competitive not only with current day alt energy, but the alt energy that will be in ten years.

I'm the guy that tells every pro-nuclear post on HN that its infeasible to chase whatever gee-whiz design is being discussed because of the ten year lead time and that storage/wind/solar are still on nonlinear cost improvement curves.

But the oil/gas industry DOES have the political juice to chase that at the multiple levels of federal/state/local/military/civilian that it would require to get a cost-effective small-scale nuclear reactor solution like a LFTR/MSR.

But that really is a pipe dream. That would require foresight from the executives, and executives in fading industries almost always just ride the companies into irrelevance, and most importantly for the executives, retirement/pension, and of course huge out-the-door "retention bonuses" in the dying days.

SMS is better than no 2FA at all, but is the weakest choice. Avoid if possible, unless it is your only choice, in which case, it's still better than nothing.

Authenticator app, hardware token (e.g. Yubikey), or email will usually be a question of which ones are supported by the service you are 2FA-ing into, You usually don't get a choice, so use what they offer.

Phone-based 2FA and lack of network is only a problem if you are using SMS push, and have no data service on the phone. But in that case, what system are you using to access the service? Can that machine hot-spot, or can your phone share its network connection? In practice, I've never seen a case where you have network connectivity to talk to a service, but not phone connectivity to get your SMS 2FA. So I'd say "not a frequent problem".

Given my choice (assuming all are supported) my order of preference would be: 1) Hardware token (e.g. Yubikey), 2) Authenticator App, 3) email, 4) SMS

Tokens are portable, can move between machines, have nothing to remember, and are easy to use.

Apps are running on some device, so still a true second factor (something you have) - and again, have nothing to remember, and can be secured with biometrics.

Email - now you are on two different things you know (not really a second factor), and you have to access your email on some potentially untrusted device, just to get the code, potentially now compromising your email. It's one more basket that if someone gets access to, they can probably reset your other service passwords for total account takeover. Still better than no 2FA, but higher friction to use and access, and not really a second factor.

SMS - it's just too easy for SIM swap attacks, and good social engineering to phish SMS codes. "Hi, this is $BANKNAME - we saw some suspicious activity on your account, so we are going to send a one-time code to you now. Please enter it back to us here to verify your identity" (scammer then uses your stolen password, tries to log in, real bank sends you real code, which you now are tricked into sending to scammer to complete their login as you).
Hedge funds aren't really private investments, you're probably thinking of Private Equity firms. Hedge funds more often than not invest in the public markets and hold large positions, the difference between a mutual fund and a hedge fund is more regulatory and legal than investment process.

Thank you for your response! However, the linked content further seems to support my suspicion that having websites without any client-side JS is not in the scope of RSCs. The linked RFC, in my opinion, clearly states for it to be expected that a client-side framework and React accept and handle the streamed React response[1]. So while it may be possible to eliminate a lot of client-side JS, at least those would always have to be available on the client, correct?

I feel the same way, I don't fully trust hosted solutions but don't completely trust myself to host my own -- which is where E2E encryption comes into play, but a malicious host would still have access to loads of metadata (timestamps, IPs, etc.).

Blockchain-based solutions like Status.im appear to do away with these sorts of issues through decentralization -- but you still have to put trust into their network.

Solutions like TLS & OMEMO over Tor for XMPP seem to be a very strong privacy-centered solution outside of blockchain-based applications.

> An oil extraction and distribution company isn't an industry?

No, they aren't manufacturing anything. Managing natural resources is a reasonable thing for a government to do.

> Crown corporations could operate in any sphere of business at all

But they aren't which is the point. Just because they could do something in theory doesn't mean that they would do a good job if they did. There is no evidence that they would, so using them as an example doesn't work.

> Furthermore, some Crown corporations must deal with real physical externalities arising as a consequence of their operations, like Petro-Canada

There is no reason this couldn't just be done for private corporations via regulations. Politicians have that power today, why aren't they using it? And why do you think they would use it if ownership was different?

I looked into this here, and couldn't find a company to do a heat exchanger hookup for my pool, but also... at least here in the great lakes area, when you want to heat your pool the most is the time when your AC isn't really running (spring / fall), and you don't care about heating your pool as much when the AC is blasting. So while the pool may offer some efficiency gains to the AC, the waste heat from the AC doesn't help much with the pool.

"Web 2.0" was about monetizing everything you could visit that might be remotely interesting, and separating you from the content with a paywall. We're now looking into "Web 3.0" which will bring even more concepts of monetization, ownership and client-side computation. It's a mixed bag going forwards, but 'exploring the web' died with Web 1.0 as far as I'm concerned.

> the degree of which the current vaccines work against variants is dependent of the variant itself

Yes, we all know that. Follow the scientific literature and you will find updated vaccine assessments soon after a concerning variant is noticed.

> "We have built a process that within 95 days from the day that we identify a variant as a variant of concern, we will be able to have a vaccine tailor-made against this variant," [Pfizer CEO] Bourla said.

That's likely closely guarded IP, so I don't think there is hard evidence for that statement. But the phase I clinical trials for Moderna's [1] and Pfizer's [2] started respectively in February and April 2020, just a few months after covid became a problem. This is IMHO reasonable evidence that 95 days is a plausible lead time.

I fully agree. To prove long term vaccine effectiveness (original, boosters, variants, sequence thereof) we indeed need a time machine.
