It's the exact same move that reddit made years ago, and it enabled a new era of online brigading and fake credibility/popularity for content shown on pages.

If you can't see downvotes on content, there is no way of determining how misleading the content may be.

It also disguises cases where a creator may be getting harassed or bullied by others.

The beginning of the end of being able to trust YouTube stats (as if that wasn't already an issue).

They do persist. To the point of people forgetting that they are ephemeral.
The main reason to store it as numbers is because I select records based on what subnet an IP address is in. I can only do this when I use integers.

True, although TIFF (often used with GeoTiff) can also store 64-bit float (double), which OpenEXR doesn't support.
> maybe pipe down a little bit

like downvoting a cat video is the only type of video being downvoted. If a "tutorial" is bad, people can downvote it. If the next view sees lots of downs, they can avoid it and go to the video saving them time, and no longer rewarding with ad share for a worthless video.

> The author could have tempered their words to fit into something more palatable to a wider audience.

The issue is also tempering to the words to what is actually true about world and human psychology.

Something being funny or insulting or strong in words does not imply it brings in deep truth. Pretty often, it creates false description of world. And the words being strong are making that lie more convincing.

> But then they'd be saying what they think would be easily received and not what they actually felt.

Feelings are not facts. It way more honest to write about feelings in a way that makes it clear you write about feelings. Instead, articles like this pretend to describe the world around and not feelings.

> And it takes courage to say that that's the problem, because it risks hurting readers' feelings

When you lie about other people mental state or make it up, them objecting is 100% valid. Their feelings are rightfully hurt. Because the actual issue is not that you was impolite, it is that you are saying untrue things about them.
Can you elaborate on how you feel climate change has recently affected this issue? It seems more likely to me that the recent pandemic is the major issue.

> This long-term famine is already happening in Central America and is driving more and more migrants north every year.

This is certainly a problem but not nearly a major reason that migrants are coming north. They're coming north because they can make their monthly salary from northern triangle countries in a few days in the US. These are economic migrants, regardless of what the news tells you, evidenced by the fact that almost none of them are accepting offers of asylum in Mexico and choosing to continue to the US.
Just read this now, should've picked the DMSA link, but couldn't edit once posted. Thanks for updating though.
We could all use a little more “thinking for yourself” in this age or social media. I laid the move. The dislike button should be used to share what I dislike and use that genuinely to recommend content that I will like. Seeing the number only biases me one way or the other and doesn’t even give me the opportunity to consider how I really feel in the first place.
The current ones are Louisiana, Washington state, and Italy.

The economy is held up by belief, and while I'm sure there are some good intentioned people telling us this, there are certainly some people who are using this as an opportunity to change financial positions.
It sounds like you read the headline and came to post your already held views on Google and Youtube hoping that it would be relevant.

From the article:

> 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. Our experiment data confirmed that this behavior does occur at a higher proportion on smaller channels.
They measure the total distortion over the baseline, so in that sense it's a single pixel. But I think measurements from several interferometers can be combined to give some very limited spatial resolution.
I like many daemons are written in go instead of java these days and they start up instantly and take fer less resource.

Java will fade out as old systems fade out in a few decades as ecosystems catch up in other languages.
But it’s a very good question. It leads to what’s the nature of gravitational wave. The frequency is certainly a key characteristic. It can lead to how LIGO works.
Error handling is easily one of my favorite things about Go.

No 'oops I forgot to put in a try/catch and now my code died with no explanation'.

No 'I forgot a finally ( or didn't realize I needed one ) and now I'm leaking resources'.

No 'should I return Null or false or an error code?'.

No '20 log messages for the same error because every function is reporting it'.

The Go model

- Return err, always as the last parameter

- When you need more context, add it to the error before you return it

- There is a calling function that reports errors. Maybe main(), maybe a subscriber, maybe a goroutine. There can be other situations of course but the point is that there's a clear ownership. If someone is logging errors in a higher up method, they should be prepared to explain why in code reviews.
Could you please stop posting flamebait and/or unsubstantive comments to HN? You've been doing it repeatedly, unfortunately, and it goes against what we're trying for here.

Absolutely, lol. They've been doing this for 8 years and are the masters (regardless of ethics) at ad revenue. Considering Google's market share has quadrupled (low estimate) since 2014, I have no doubts that google could have profited 350M year over year. When has google ever done anything in good faith or something that wasn't profitable for them long term?

"The Commission concludes that the proportion of the value of sales to be used to establish the basic amount of the fine should be […]%."

If it's not 100%+ percent, Google profited, even if it's a penny. This doc is missing way too much data (table 29) for it to make any real sense.

Well, if the bricks in your heater aren't insulated, of course they'll release their heat prematurely.

I have a Swedish fireplace. The firebox is very small, and the masonry is rather massive. The idea is for the masonry to soak up the heat, then slowly release it long after the fire dies down. Apparently the Swedes have used this design for centuries. I don't imagine the Swedes are such fools that they wouldn't notice for centuries that it doesn't work (it does!).

People also used to put rocks in the fireplace, then pull them out to put in their beds to warm them at night. This is just a primitive method of doing the same thing.

There's a lot to be said for a grain of truth and a magnifying glass. Mostly I don't want the whole beach all at once.

I think you could see it on the page, even before the video started playing (i.e. while you're still watching the ads). But maybe I remember wrongly.

Still. Far more likely to quit in the first 10 seconds than you would be to stick around for a couple of minutes and find out. Let alone click a related link.
Someone posted the link here a long time ago but some intrepid person was scraping youtube likes/dislikes on all the whitehouse videos and proved that youtube was actively manipulating vote count, sometimes by a very large percentage.

How to make $900 with affiliate marketing on the weekend with no experience no w
I don't exactly think people were very happy about it either. I mean look, I'm 24 years old and I don't own any of these assets. At the rate things are going now, I probably never will own these assets.

The best thing that could happen for me is major deflation. But it is too politically unpopular, I bet it will be years before we get a fed chairman who has the spine to raise rates. So I'm reduced to angrily complaining online and shaking my fist at the sky while our rulers at the fed prop up boomers and leave my generation out to dry.

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money and if you know how to get traffic, promote the right offers and retarget email sign-ups you stand a very good chance to make really good money and I'm going to cover it all on this affiliate marketing tutorial
I've known several entrepreneurs in my life that simply lived off investor money and never really got anything out the door.

They would come up with a new idea, get money, and then botch the execution, over and over.

I've been a part of companies where the owners cashed out millions of dollars after round 3 of funding where the business never really sustained itself, yet continued to receive funding.

In the end, both examples didn't really mind if the business failed, because they already got their massive paycheck from it. To me, that's some sort of legal ponzi scheme.

No-one watches TV (broadcast, cable, any of those virtual-cable steaming options) unless they're sports fans, and that use case is dropping off fast. For even younger people, I doubt they're shifting back to it. Why would they? Various free-with-ads streaming options have better content, and there are tons of free or cheap ad-free streaming services (Kanopy and free-tier PBS stuff, plus most paid ad-free streaming services that aren't Netflix or Hulu are still really cheap). And piracy still exists.

I only see "regular" TV when I visit older (boomer) relatives, who still subscribe to cable and always either have a shitty news channel or something they DVR'd playing in the background 100% of the time (god, that's weird, and these are people who were all "TV will rot your brain, go outside" when they were middle-aged, but often leave a TV on literally 24/7, falling asleep in front of it, now) or am stuck in a waiting room with a TV. Even my gen-x relatives are way more into streaming and video games than they are broadcast or cable TV.

It is precisely because I care that I commented so that another one may find it.

Just for the sake of clarity I am referring to a level 5 trip.

Two trips in row with different outcomes? This is not a question that would be posed by someone who has experienced a level 5 trip. Why? It becomes self evident. But it is not something I can 'prove' to you. You have to see for yourself.

Regarding outcomes - One has either broken through or not. One will know when they have had an ego death and OBE. It is a very distinct experience. Some will still deny this even but much much fewer can deny an experience that powerful.

I have had many trips that were below a level 5 but only one that I would classify as a level 5 trip - complete loss of ego or ego death.

I was an atheist before that Big trip.

The Psychedelic experience has many common threads. I've read hundreds of big trip reports maybe thousands. The common threads become very obvious after a while. As obvious as the sunrise.

Yes this is my interpretation and the interpretation of some very old religions like Hinduism and its offshoot Buddhism.

They are not dogmatic in that you can believe whatever you want next to them while still considering them as truth.

From One there are many. Surely this does not even escape a mathematician. You cannot deny your own existence yet Science has very little to say about the nature of consciousness. In fact Science really has no clue when it comes to the mystery of consciousness. Its view is that we are meat puppets and the sum of our parts. Nothing more than we can see with our eyes. Why is this accepted as dogma but other belief systems are not?

Science itself is a kind of dogmatic religion. It is one that many take for granted as absolute truth. Older thought systems such as Buddhism have been around for much much longer. To assume they are somehow inferior to Science because of their age is a mistake.

All beliefs are valid. One can worship or believe as they wish to find happiness. It is only that they accept Science's answer as Absolute Truth and not their own direct experience after they have had a big trip. That is the waste. The lack of conviction in their experience as being real.

It is surprising that after such an experience one can walk away without conviction! They would have to try hard to forget and make themselves believe that everything is just as it was and it was all just a dream. That is the difficult part. Believing should be the easy part but the world pulls us back in. Our old concepts rush back in.

We put our belief back in the old way of doing things and back to the world we knew before that Big trip. The world of the 24 hour news cycle and Reddit. The world of our addictions, apps, and waking life. Because we feel comfortable there. It is challenging for us to change our outlook so drastically but that is what a Big trip challenges us to do.
Thank you for reading it. I was a bit hesitant framing our experience in such personal terms because...huh...I don't know, I'll figure it out after a bit. Maybe because I'd get my feelers hurt if it didn't resonate with people?

I have to get better at being okay with sharing what I feel like sharing and also being okay with whatever I get back.

Thanks for giving our game a try!
The like to dislike ratio is one of the best indicators of whether a video is clickbait or not. We are now at the stage where vies for our attention have become a zero-sum game. This will ultimately favour bad actors more than it will help out small creators.
Actually, this is unique to Apple because they have a massive number of relatively cheap, high-quality tablets all over the world running the same operating system across many generations of the same product.

What you learn at school when it comes to programming is to avoid if-statements for control flow. It is error prone. If-statements are mainly used for various types of guards.
It also is about decentralizing power. There would be no one executive being who decides something is or is not legal. But the collective would be able to vote directly on how things should operate. And that includes the ability to punish / exile / whatever bad actors.

"The financial fallout would be far reaching. Evergrande reportedly owes money to around 171 domestic banks and 121 other financial firms," the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) Mattie Bekink told the BBC.

In other words "High dislike count in our videos hurts our ability to make more money so we don't want people to leave when they see others disliking the video, better we don't want other to dislike, only like and see count of how many likes"

- IMO a fair decision would have been to remove count for both dislikes and likes if they really cared about bias but they don't.
