The media had ruled and controlled the western world with propaganda for the whole 20th century, from newspapers in early 1900s to TVs in late 1900s. We had a very brief period of people escaping the matrix through the internet and communicating through alternative channels, that little blip of media sandbox escape brought Trump and the Brexit and the corporates and media have been working hard to regain control of means of communication ever since.

Be glad you got to live through this very brief period of awakening because they are about to return everyone back into the darkness again.

Why do you believe time constraints and evidence based processes are antithetical?

You can't give someone an unlimited amount of time to take an assessment and still expect to meaningfully be able to compare results. One person does a good job in 1 hour another person does a good job but it takes them 10 hours. Time limitations are a fact of life. Interviewees are only willing to give so much time to the application/hiring process and we have similar constraints. The time constraints are reasonable for the tasks given.

We are working to mitigate anxiety in our process, I don't think we can ever completely eliminate it.

Same. It feels like a passive-aggressive elitism, and not simply an anti-abuse feature.

Given the site we're on, I don't have a problem as much with the elitism (I'm not the target demographic, after all -I'm older and not working in tech) as much as with the "passive-aggressive" part of the rhetoric behind withholding downvote capability.

This is just as absurd as diagnosing someone with the Big Bang, since it's the true root cause of all of their ailments.
there is qualitative difference between simple memorization and generalized pattern recognition. You fail to distinguish the two very distinct things, one of which admittedly is the base of the other, but the other one is very much required for higher cognitive function.

Memorization can be done on a cellular level, generalized pattern recognition - not so much.
Same thoughts I had, the more niche the topic the more important this feature was for finding a workable solution. A year back I was fixing a microphone and 9 of the 10 videos I looked at on it were convoluted expensive or ineffective work-arounds while one actually showed how to fix the issue relatively easily.

I'm really gonna miss this feature.

It is horrible, you just don’t know it it. There is always people like dang dedicating his life to fight all the spam. Look at “new” page and see how many dead links are being submitted each hour.

When you put dislike button, you are adding a degree of freedom in expressing an intent for the user. It is upto you, how you use this information. Most systems fail in this task and then they just remove the degree of freedom as their solution.
I built an app like this in my college days! That is, an app that can send network requests over voice, decode the voice channel response (which comes from some proxy), and render it in a useful way or pass it off to some other process.

Maybe it's just my location (Europe), but I have never heard of Rivian. Not even once. The guys I work with are car enthusiasts, and I've never even heard them mention that name.
The system isn't that simple?

The US Government sells treasuries and bonds to raise dollars. These have to be approved by congress, which is why every so often you'll hear about government shutdowns, because, yes, if for whatever reason, the US Congress doesn't pass a debt ceiling lift, the US Treasury will not have enough money to run things anymore.

Then there's the Federal Reserve, which loans dollars to banks to create liquidity and velocity in the monetary system depending on certain conditions (Primarily inflation and unemployment I believe).

(Presumably there's a fair amount more to it than that as well).
Lots of talk about balking at this valuation, and that is probably a reasonable reaction, but as others have said, I want to point out that companies are valued based on their future and projected growth, not how much they are worth today.

Much has been made about Tesla being worth more than all other automakers combined, but let's look at the growth.

Tesla Q3 Revenue: 13.76B, Year over year growth: 56%

Tesla Q3 Net Income: 1.6B, Year over year growth: 388%

GM Q3 Revenue: 26.78B, Year over year growth: -24%

GM Q3 Net Income: 2.42B, Year over year growth: -40%

Tesla is growing like bonkers, wildly more profitable, and has a much brighter future than GM given these trajectories. It's almost like either GM is severely overvalued at 90B market cap or Tesla is undervalued at 1T.

Tesla has also proven that traditional automakers really struggle to keep up with the electric car race - from software to supply chain. Rivian, like Tesla, is built top to bottom to play in this market, with the added backing of Amazon and products tailor made for enterprise scale needs that companies like Amazon need.

Of course Rivian is a risky investment today - their stock is priced for perfection. We saw what happened last quarter when stocks priced for perfection fall short (take a look at Snapchat). But plenty of these arguments "Rivian is only selling 1000 cars!" also applied to Tesla about 10 years ago.

A business is valued based on its future prospects. Growth companies are risky.

Edit to add Ford numbers:

Ford Q3 Revenue: 35.68B , Year over year growth: -4%

Ford Q3 Net income: 1.8B, Year over year growth: -23%

Also want to point out - all automakers are operating in the same pandemic - Ford, GM, and Tesla are all dealing with supply chain issues and chip shortages.
> No 'oops I forgot to put in a try/catch and now my code died with no explanation'.

This is so backwards. First, I want my program to immediately crash if I have a bug. Go is like shell in that it keeps going even if there's an error. Second, I'm used to getting stack traces, Go is the language that will give "no explanation" by comparison if there's a failure.
> Those in the experiment could still see and use the public dislike button, but because the count was not visible to them, we found that they were less likely to target a video’s dislike button to drive up the count. In short, our experiment data showed a reduction in dislike attacking behavior 1.

I know it was for a halfway good cause this time, but does anyone else find it creepy with how much nonchalance they are talking about behaviour modification and nudging here?

Google would like its users to more frequently show behaviour X, so they made some A/B tests, found which UI changes most effectively increase the prevalence of X and are now implementing the changes.

No need anymore to actually communicate rules with your users if you can just manipulate them into showing a particular behaviour.

It's not just Google doing this, however they are in a position to do this most effectively right now.
Yes, but the whole world won't be developers. And many in the know just don't care.

You're talking about a population of 12 to 18 year olds. Even among the most responsible and least-easily influenced of them, social pressures absolutely dwarf any abstract concerns about corporations knowing a bit more about broke-ass you to try and sell you things.

Most of this population will take a short term gain for an uncertain consequence a few minutes later. You're talking about short term gain versus consequences that they may view as inevitable and occurring decades away.
I find the negative sentiment for this on a forum that also lacks a downvote/dislike option perplexing.
It’s interesting to me that this type of comment always shows up with like minded articles and studies. It’s always along the lines of “YOU CANT HANDLE THE PRESSURE”
Agreed. A big question in everyone’s mind i think is if this is ‘permanent’ inflation ‘catching up’ from all the QE and money printing/stimulus,
or a temporary spike as pent up demand from the drop last year unblocks and rushes for the door, and will subside afterwards as the larger deflationary (consumer price wise) trend continues afterwards.

I personally suspect it will be a 70’s style ‘step’ (down related to buying power of a given dollar, probably not visible in relation to other currencies though, and up in prices), albeit without a strong hike in interest rates that happened under Carter and caused really weird other effects. They didn’t have the overall consumer price deflation due to tech and global trade like we’ve had for awhile now.

It would be nice to have a crystal ball, but alas.
This was in fact accomplished and is attempted for many of the detections.
There is literally no point in raising rates and slowing the economy simply so that you can then lower rates and reinvigorate the economy again. That doesn't accomplish anything.

And rates can always go lower from where they are now. It's not like the Fed is out of room if they wanted to lower rates further.

Same here.

Stayed at a property while visiting my parents. Bed was broken, but, worse, ants crawled out of the sink when I went to brush my teeth in the morning. I hadn't eaten anything at the apartment.

I left one day into a seven day stay. Literally left the next morning. I only got refunded for five of the nights. The host refused to refund me for the sixth night.

I wish I knew that going to the CEO was a support path, as I strongly felt that ants coming out of the bathroom sink is unacceptable and I should have gotten my six night refunded. But based on what I saw in /r/airbnb, it seems like I did better than many other guests did.

I'm still going to use Airbnb, as most of my stays have been really good. Just won't use them in the tri-state area, I suppose.

It'd be really awesome if microprocessors, even at a low-end process node like 130 nm, could be made with room-sized machines or smaller. There's a lot of space for companies wanted to manufacture their own MCUs, for instance, without relying on massive supply chains.

I think this'll happen at some point, as silicon manufacturing hits final roadblocks and becomes increasingly commoditized, but it'd be nice if it were sooner rather than later.

(This would be nice for self-sufficient decentralized communities being able to produce their own microelectronics as well.)
They are playing in the 70-80k+ luxury truck/suv market. That type of market doesn't have the volume they are aiming.

They will have to build cars that compete with the mid tier (40k-50k) to be able to sell on those volumes. At that tier you are competing with every other manufactor, from kia, to ford, to VW, Audi, GM etc...

Their truck looks nice, but just not sure they can support their current evaluation with such a limited production.
I don't really trust this kind of science reporting. The link to the nature article doesn't even link to it for me: https://10.0.4.14/s41586-021-04075-0, the real link is: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04075-0#citeas

I also cannot access the study on SciHub, but one should keep eyebrows raised with alarmist reporting like this. Palmitic acid is in everything. Ask questions like:

1. What's the strength of effect? Is it 50x more likely to see metastasis? 15%?

2. Is the diet a realistic diet? Are the mice or rats eating a significant amount more of palmitic acid than what would be reasonable in a human participant?

3. How does the mouse model differ from humans?

4. What are the systemic effects? People don't eat fatty acids alone, they eat them as (ideally) part of a diet composed of whole foods. Might the effect hold in a realistic diet with more palmitic acid?

... and so on and so forth. Without access to the actual article and some folks' willingness to critically look at methodology, this kind of writing just encourages people to draw simplistic conclusions about incredibly complex systems.
Sorry for the confusion. To clarify, I did not mean to suggest using GitHub/GitLab pages in combination with Ichi.city. That would be redundant.
Sure, and in Q1 of 2021 I was buying ribeye steaks for about 25% less than I can today at my local grocer...
perhaps its crazy - but, the money is flowing towards the future, not the past. Ford Motor Company has not been a winner in the last 20 years, while Tesla has attracted new money.
You should be able to downvote comments, since you have more than 501 karma. The analog for downvoting submissions is the "super downvote" of flagging (and in turn vouching), which requires 31 karma.
They wouldn't remove dislike counts across the board (seemingly with no opt-out?) if there wasn't a financial advantage to doing so. I don't believe this is because they think it's good for the community.

Is it any coincidence that, in an era where establishment media frequently gets highly ratio'd (look content from the White House, MSM, films with political agendas), an organization that relies on advertising as well as government contracts makes it convenient for said establishment to perpetuate the illusion that there is no dissent?

Let's put aside the possibility that getting brigaded with dislikes can be psychologically harmful to the individual.

How will there ever be actual revolts against the establishment if everyone believes there are no other dissenters? That's the real trouble behind making it impossible to share any negative sentiment on the internet, which is a pattern that mainstream platforms like Google/YouTube are continually edging towards, and it's a darker pattern than most people understand. The simplest way to prevent threats to your regime is to make it difficult, if not impossible for people who agree on the wrong things to recognize that they are not alone.

Hold on ravenstine... these are just dislikes on a bunch of dumb cat videos. You call that "dissent"?

When a piece of media with a wide audience is overwhelmingly disapproved of by that audience, that tells you something about reality. Being selectively exposed to only approved opinions is a disconnection from reality. If you aren't connected with reality, at best your ability to make predictions is impaired, and at worst you can be controlled without even knowing it. If you think you're the only one that disagrees with CorpGov propaganda, you are much more likely to sit on your ass, never getting up to vote, never getting up to protest, never expressing your disagreement with the establishment, because what would be the point? All you could do is accept that you are the crazy one and go with the flow, which happens to be highly convenient for the power structure.

Personally, I don't care that much in the case of YouTube because I believe it has peaked long ago and is begging for a serious replacement. But if all mainstream social media decides to go full speed ahead with this sort of reality manipulation YouTube is attempting today, then I think we are headed for trouble as a global/digital civilization.
The follow up reporting (not widely circulated in the West) on this was that many of those cities have since been filled up and inhabited.

Wade Shepard, author of Ghost Cities of China:

> Today, China’s so-called ghost cities that were so prevalently showcased in 2013 and 2014 (...) have filled up to the point of being functioning, normal cities

I would be really, really skeptical of post-2012 reporting on China. I understand why people are increasingly anti-China (the Uyghur stuff is disgusting) but you really don't get close to a neutral perspective from most of the Western media.
so a couple of things you can do.

dendron creates a `dendron.yml` file and a `dendron.code-workspace` file when you initialize a dendron workspace. if you're in a different vscode workspace, as long as one of the folders has a `dendron.yml` file, then dendron will treat that subdirectory as your dendron workspace.

moving forward, we're looking to support the concept of a `global workspace` that you can access anywhere

Shrug. Okay, let's take your points as true, and agree that wage theft shouldn't be criminalized more than it already it.

Why are the enforcement agencies responsible for preventing wage theft - including "the taxman" - so underfunded as compared to the police, even when we're talking about comparable economic effects in the billions of dollars?

When talking about correlations between race and being a "victim", why should we only (or primarily) consider criminal statistics?

Is there a national equivalent of the National Crime Victimization Survey which covers wage theft, workplace harassment, and other illegal activities which aren't part of criminal law?

I dunno. Me code.
Reddit did this same thing, for the same reason. Can't have people disliking an advertisement posed as a submission! that would hurt Reddit's appeal to advertisers.

This was one of the major inflection points for worsening quality of content on reddit, and it will be for Youtube too. For exactly the reason you've described.
Google learned from Facebook. Next they will remove the dislike button and introduce other reactions.
That would be a flaw in the sense that anxiety may not be the right word, but it does capture the parallel with white board interviews and underscore the problem that you may be turning away people who can perform the job well but not code while explaining.

Interestingly, this approach might help sneak checklists into more of medicine. They've proven wondrously helpful in so many fields, but typically been rejected by doctors. The software mentioned in the article gives suggestions and tracks required interventions and timings, meaning that there should be fewer mistakes.

Hopefully, it won't endanger people who don't fit the software's model.
Maybe for you. Did you heard that Intel processors can decrease the speed when the processor is hot ? And when you have 4 cores and Excel is keeping one at 100% load the other 3 will have reduced speed. But the other 3 must run all the services in the modern, secure OS which is Win 10. Good luck doing something else with that computer while Excel is calculating.
This is another example of how the ruling class is trying to reassert control over the narrative and flow of information.

Flag dissent as `misinformation`, remove comments, remove dislikes. Bit by bit, clamping down on the ability for the public to revolt.
yeah, I saw that, that whole thing would be illegal in this country.

I guess now ,
I’ll just consider views to like ratio as a new form of hinting at dislike

Overall , this is a pretty bad move,
If a creator feels harassed by dislikes , they should use it as a way of learning to grow thick skin,
They need it anyways as public professionals.

Instead what now went away, is information on how others in a community reacted to a video or content,

Dislikes have always been a great way to detect misinformation or incorrect content or atleast give a hint that a topic needs more researching.

Now, someone who’s new to all of this,
Will see a youtube video on cleaning their desktop and wont understand why,

Running

I'm pretty sure that they'd have to be pointed in the right direction first.

This is 100% false because I know for a fact if there was no other taxi company providing services to the disabled I would start my own company for the disabled today.
> We’ve also heard directly from smaller creators, and those just getting started with their YouTube channel, that they are unfairly targeted by dislike attacks

Wow. Well, the politically motivated truth behind this change is pretty darn obvious, right?

If you're confused what I mean, check any US mainstream media video with an obvious political slant but pretending to be "objective news" and look at the like/dislike ratio. The system is totally working...except it isn't working out well for the political party that YT would prefer.

The more striking thing to me is how little effort they put into the cover excuse. IMO this just shows they don't really care about the optics of censoring speech or letting users flag propaganda. Quite brazen.
