My brother and several of his friends do this for a living at Intel. Most of them have Electrical Engineering PhDs, though I believe one is a Chemical Engineer. My brother's thesis specifically was in 2d transistor design and worked under a Material Science professor. I believe most universities have professors who teach Semiconductors classes, whether it is under the name Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Material Science.

It would be difficult to learn on your own as explained in the article: you need a lot of specialized equipment, a high class of clean room, and a lot of very dangerous chemicals. (My brother once described what the hydrofluoric acid he used semi-regularly does to person and completely horrified our parents).

Downside of this field is that there are very few job opportunities without relocating. If you're in the US, you can work at Intel... or Intel. Unless you're willing to move to Taiwan and work at TSMC.

Besides the advice in the other response, doing a search for your model across different websites should give you an idea of what they're listing for.
Agreed, you have no evidence for your claim, so it can be dismissed entirely.
It's interesting to browse Carvana - many of their listings include a link to a window sticker, which includes the original MSRP.

Some normal cars, especially ones in high demand like the Kia Telluride, are quite marked up. Here's an almost-new Telluride listed for $46,990, but if you look at the window sticker, the MSRP when new was $35,770.

One the other hand, the Mercedes GLC isn't at the top of most people's lists. Here's an almost-new one listed for $49,990. According to the window sticker, original MSRP was $51,125.

MSRPs $15k apart, but now listed for a just a $3k difference.

Looks like they are using the hidden "not" and the weird :after CSS pseudo element to draw a line over text instead of "text-decoration: line-through;" probably because screen readers don't recognize the proper strike-trough styling:

I think you're probably reading too much into this. It's far less likely to be politically motivated, and much more likely to be profit-motivated.

Quoting from the article: "We understand that some of you have used dislikes to help decide whether or not to watch a video."

Remove negative counts, make people more likely to click on videos, serve more accompanying ads, profit.

Simples.
I don't think the GP's narrative was that this exclusively happens to the Democrats. Just that it happens way more on the current White House's videos than it did on the last administration's. Plucking examples where Republican videos were downvoted intensely does not refute an argument the OP wasn't making in the first place.

This is a ridiculous decision. When someone puts something into the public space and everyone dislikes it, that should visible to anyone.

+1. The main advantage of Flutter is the write once run everywhere, which is apparently not taken advantage of here.

If you’re gonna try to emulate native on multiple platforms, go with React Native and not Flutter. Especially on Apple’s platforms flutter is always going to feel a little bit off compared to native applications.
In reality they have been moving towards this for a while. I've been hit by one of their A/B experiments that turns off the visual ratio bar, so it takes a second to figure out the ratio (if it's bad, I normally skim over the comments).

Is bmp really dead? It's my go-to file format when playing around with graphic image programming (just stupid hobby stuff). It's easy to pick a format and write one out, and most everything reads it as a format that I've used, even on linux. It can be tricky reading one created by something else, but if you make assumptions based on the header sizes and the fact that you rarely run into one that not a simple 24-bit pixel array, its' not too bad. I do only use it as an interim format, though.
Information cannot be transceived faster than light. The thought experiments and whatabouts and whatifs are fun to discuss, especially after drinks - but seeing which spin or collapse or whatever isn't information in the actual definition of information.

I use it for the same thing, though most videos seem to fall into one of three categories:

-Millions of views, 99% liked

-Videos without ridiculous view counts, where the like/dislike ratio actually helps

-Brigaded with dislikes
32% is huge. If we said one in three girls have mental disorders, that would be considered rather high.

Pictures on Instagram are not only often of models with eating disorders, but are then modified with apps to further 'beautify' the picture by airbrushing skin and accentuating curves. It's not motivational to see unrealistic standards that half the population can't achieve.
To what extent this applies to 12 year olds is to be determined in my case. My kids are younger than that

I think a lot of the "try and restrict and you'll just harm your relationship" stuff comes from 20 somethings whose memories are primarily of their teenage years. There's 12 years before you get to twelve, and we're in a situation where clueless parents are allowing (knowingly or not) their preteen kids to have their own youtube channels and watch Squid Game. (And much worse besides no doubt, those are just a couple of things I know particular kids have been doing.)
From reading the other comments I am clearly in the minority here, but this is absolutely the right way to go. It’s the first and most simple means of destroying echo chamber bombing.

It's very sad that this is the only instance in the announcement where they mention viewers, and the reasons cited has nothing to do with viewers' interest.
The Wikipedia movement is in survival mode, and has for a while now being summarily dumping those things that require lots of volunteer effort to maintain, for very little return in terms of page views.

I agree with the gist of you're saying, and I didn't personally dig into their last few fillings, but I suppose what the parent comment is trying to express can also be stated as "Uber's core ride-sharing business model is not cash flow positive", which can be obfuscated when arguing GAP vs EBITDA.

> Actually, I think a lot of businesses are just that.

Can you explain what you mean by that? People often say this and I never really understand what they mean. Most businesses which aren't unicorns just sell stuff for money. What's a ponzi scheme about it?

I also think calling these startups ponzi schemes is disingenuous. They are not lying about anything - they're offering a very clear, risky bet to people, which some people are taking up. That's their choice. (If they are lying or committing fraud, then obviously that's a different story).

That's not what the comment said. It has been unfairly misconstrued.

What BrandonM actually said was that he had "a few qualms" about Dropbox's YC application (which is what the word "app" meant back then) - i.e. he was worried on their behalf and wanted it to succeed. He was clearly intending to be helpful. He had a nice exchange with Drew, as anyone can see if they would read the replies (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224).

In 2007, the conventional wisdom was that file sync was a solution-in-search-of-a-problem that would never be a successful business because the idea only appealed to technical users. Joel Spolsky famously wrote a blog post mocking technical people who wanted to work on file sync. That's the context in which the comment was posted.

That turned out to be totally wrong, but it took the success of Dropbox for everyone to know that (and then forget that anybody ever said otherwise). Brandon's comment ended up getting stranded like a little island in an ocean of hindsight fallacy.

It's hopeless, of course, to fight the internet once it has decided on a meme. But it bugs me when unfairness get repeated, especially when someone is being scapegoated, so even though it's hopeless, I still post about it from time to time.

And many other things. It biases the consumers, which has futher repercussions on the economy.
They've disabled the visual ratio bar for me. Wish I could get it back.
As a complete novice in life in everything that is not Tech, I rely on a lot of how-to videos on YouTube from small unknown creators. Likes and Dislikes ratio is one of the key filter to weed out less helpful or outright misinformed videos. This may be shrewd move for YouTube to boost engagement but at the greater cost of utility and UX. Very disappointing.

Want me to show you my electric bill? Fixed rate, 24/7, in every place I've lived, for my entire long life. California, land of the rolling blackouts because they can't match demand with supply, also has fixed electric rates.

> is a solution that works for some homes, in some municipalities, under very specific circumstances.

Oh come on.

> I can't imagine anyone wanting to start a business strictly based around a last-mile solution, when other solutions already exist and are substantially more efficient and scalable.

Look at the endless variety of thermostat innovation for your HVAC system. Even internet connected ones. Why would you suggest that simply automatically adjusting the thermostat based on spot prices for electricity is inefficient and unscalable?

> You're also assuming that the regulatory bodies for each municipality inherently want things to be efficient and customer-friendly

I infer no such thing. I suggested making changes.

> where prices jumped to 180x their usual rates

And I bet none of those customers had thermostats connected to the spot price of the electricity.

Do you know that the pump price of gas varies every day? That's demand shaping. And it works.
This is why I try to assume the worst case.

I.e use timeshift backups / cloud sync / src control for anything vital + treat your OS as a throw away, or at least, re-instate-able in <30 min.
If you think the companies are inefficient wait until you see how blockchains work.
I've never understood why they even have a downvote feature. It's almost always like 10,000 likes to 43 dislikes. What information is that getting across? Even if it were 10k to 1k, that doesn't even indicate anything real because of so many people disliking stuff because the host is a woman or they were told to by some other Youtuber.
Apparently the Honda e is bucking the trend. I could buy a brand new Honda e Advance from Honda for 39 886 €, or I could buy a 2020 model with 2000 km on the odometer from a car dealership for 29 800 €.

> that should visible to anyone. This is just going to make ridiculous conspiracy videos and other harmful material like racist propaganda seem more legit than it is viewed by the rest of the public.

Report videos that violates Youtube's guidelines, and start your own platform if you take issue with the engagement tools they offer. Arguably, the data shows that outrage drives unhealthy engagement [1], and this appears to reduce outrage driven engagement, no different than HN flamewar detection and other mechanisms to encourage more civil discourse.

EDIT: Youtube isn't the internet, nor "commons", it's a single web property. Lots of other forums for your speech (including your own Mastadon, Discourse, or Peertube instance).

It's not Disney / DC comics, they have good ratios.

This is coming from the white house and the FDA / CDC, which have horrible ratios, and which have been caught removing dislikes several times leading people to question YouTube.

this is in my opinion violation of the first amendment if it really comes from the government - which makes it even worse.
why isn't YouTube a public utility yet? or forfeit it for stewardship by archive.org. having the power to monopolistically decide on the design and technical choices for billions of people using proprietary/black box tech is absurd.
So does the Red Cross and the International Olympic Committee [1]. And if you scroll up you see so do many "banks".

Appreciate the reply! Definitely not my area of expertise, private communication is just something I do enjoy nerding out on :)

Curious, re: traffic analysis. Were you highlighting the fact that systems which don’t deliberately try to prevent traffic analysis are generally vulnerable, or calling out a weakness in some of these systems themselves? E.g. I believe tor is susceptible to traffic analysis like you mentioned, but my understanding of some of the other solutions is that they were designed to be resilient to this in various ways, but most of those approaches involve e.g. always sending same size payloads at similar frequencies, even when there is no real payload to transmit (cover noise), and that gets expensive quickly? Or introduces high latency to maintain comparable anonymity guarantees?

Movement and gunplay are basically done and feel great. Graphics is looking pretty decent (the video is a bit outdated). Story / progression is being written and integrated at the moment; it will be text-only so no voice acting is required, which should speed things up. Some items and their stats (armor, guns, sets, etc.) are already in place, but there are no proper legendaries yet. Crafting and talents are not yet in place. Sound is completely nonexistent at this point -- we're going to try an approach without music (it may work, see No Country for Old Men).
This change is very upsetting. Ever since becoming a parent, I've been baffled by a mystery.

I noticed that - unlike most other popular content - children's videos on YouTube almost always have roughly a 2:1 like to dislike ratio no matter what channel or type of content. Why? Where do all the dislikes come from?

Is it from kids mashing touch screens at random? Parents taking what small revenge they can at being subjected to the same songs on repeat thousands of times? Some shady underground power struggle between kids' content creators sabotaging each other?

I always assumed I would eventually find an answer, but now if dislike counts are going away I am unlikely to ever find out. I will probably have to carry this unanswered mystery with me for the rest of my life.

Thanks, YouTube.
