>"Here is a question: are you OK with hate speech on social media? If yes, then I don't think we can agree on much."

And now we circle back to the classic question, who determines what constitutes hate-speech and who is responsible for making the judgement? The kinds of people who end up as censors tend to be the most sensitive and the false-positive rate is very high. There is no shortage of partisan activists willing to indiscriminately label things as racist or hateful these days.

Additionally, what constitutes misinformation that costs lives? I remember back when claiming sanitizing surfaces did not reduce the spread of COVID was misinformation and grounds for a ban on social media platforms. Turns out, sanitizing surfaces really doesn't slow Covid at all. So much of what we know to be 'true' is actually in-flux and subject to change as more time and research goes on.

My point is, wanting to restrict hate-speech and misinformation is not a dangerous thing in and of itself, but it should be done with great caution and hesitancy because you run the risk of censoring true information and preventing people from expressing ideas that run against the orthodoxy of the censors. I hope that people don't view things as black and white as 'allow hate-speech, yes or no?'

What exactly is it good for?
I agree with this. What I like about the Go method is that all errors are equal -- they look the same if it's a stack of microservices running at different companies, a bunch of goroutines communicating state with each other, or if you're just calling a local function that fails. It's the same every time, and the programmer can cut through the noise and make a complicated error from a complicated system simple, concise, and easy to understand.

People seem mad that they have to plumb around `err`, and that they have to provide useful context with fmt.Errorf. I see that as letting good programmers make good systems. The default in other languages is useless -- line numbers and arguments is all you are allowed to have, and when something goes wrong it takes up your entire screen with noise. Not as good as everyone thinks it is.

My beginner understanding of NFTs leads me to think the polar opposite would achieve the goals of:

1. No ownership / everyone owns it

2. No limits to copying/editing/republishing

3. No royalties or payment of any kind

So maybe just posting your digital art online with an open-source license of some kind (usually that is for code) that indicates anyone can use it, copy it, do whatever they want with it and pay you no money/royalties.

People have pointed out that the actual art isn't in the NFT. This means anyone that knows how to capture a screenshot can duplicate anything they see online. This makes me think of stock photography sites. How do they enforce people aren't just copying/pasting the photos? Is this even enforceable/preventable? How would NFT's solve enforcement/prevention?

Since this is partly a thought experiment... one way for enforcement/prevention is for the digital artwork to be only used in closed source systems where validation with an NFT marketplace could be used. Websites are open source, maybe not legally but in essence you can copy anything that shows up on your screen, download images, etc. Closed source systems where people are paying to enter, like old school installable Enterprise software, could prevent or at least make copying extremely difficult and easier to trace. Another closed source system is video games - heavy on the artwork and lots of (much hated) micro-transactions to purchase cosmetic items.

Can you show me where I said that? This is nowhere in my comment, or any comment I've ever written here. You're completely making things up at this point.

I said nothing about inflation, value, or stability. All I have said is that nobody is adopting crypto when their currency fails. They're adopting USD, a more stable fiat. Relative to failing states' fiat, the USD is significantly more stable, and more widely accepted. That's simply a fact.

I think there are many very simple and understandable situations where having the option of generics gives you a lot of power. Like any programming concept, it's just another tool in the box, if you don't want to use it, don't use it. If you disagree with how others are using it, wouldn't that mean these programmers are bad in your view and you shouldn't be using their modules anyway?

This is a damned shame. I use dislikes to gauge if a video is relevant to the topic at hand.

For example, I like fixing stuff and use Youtube for unfamiliar items. Often videos with a high number of dislikes are Spam (usually a bot reading text from some website), Videos where the person handwaves through the steps, videos where the fix is improper, or videos where the creator spends more time monetizing than working through the problem.
Id be interested to know the story behind this historian getting banned for impersonating Hitler - that initially sounds like it would be a rhetorical tactic or mocking impression; in which case, why ban him? Either there's more to the story, or the union banned him on bad info (which seems to happen semi regularly with regard to deplatforming), or they have a radically new woke take where lampooning fascists is bad now.

Edit:

That seems like a bad idea. Even if you're not expressing those sentiments yourself, voicing them out loud is certainly going to upset some people.
This is sure going to make YouTube a whole lot less useful for gathering information about a subject. I can't tell you how many DIY home improvement and exercise form demonstration videos I've been protected from because a lot of dislikes pointed me to the fact that something is terribly amiss in the content. Who knows how much money those ratios have saved me over the years.
It is interesting as more and more companies enter into the crypto stuff.

I found a Feb 2021 piece from Derek Lowe a good 30k ft overview of how the immune system works. tl;dr it is stochastic, with a wide range of antibodies having different effects against an infection, some of them even negative (OAS). Usually the aggregate effect is positive, and the infection is cleared out.

"It's important to realize, though, that all immune responses to a viral infection generate a mixture of neutralizing and non-neutralizing antibodies. That's one of the things about the immune system - it revs up production of a wide variety of antibodies, selected from the untold billions of them circulating around in your bloodstream. Some of them bind to one part of the pathogen, and some to another. And they bind in different conformations, sticking to different parts of the surface of the invading virus from different directions."

It is conceivable that a targeted vaccine is more effective at shutting down an infection than natural immunity by focusing the immune system to produce a narrow band of very effective antibodies. The tradeoff is that a virus mutation can create a catastrophic situation where the same antibodies are less effective, possibly having negative efficiency enhancing the infection. The risk is amplified by vaccinating the entire population with the exact same protein sequence, creating hundreds of millions of living incubators for the virus to learn how to evade the narrow antibody response.

We are creating a biological landscape prone to black swan events. Good luck convincing any total vaxer that this is a very real risk. They will laugh and sneer and maybe call you criminal because obviously the data shows the vaccines are safe and effective. "Hahaha, I've been told that we're all going to be dead by now, look at those peddling conspiracy theories." Just like the Wall Street crowd created the run-up to the 2008 crisis. Who could have possibly predicted that CDOs were prone to a black swan?

Really? It's that and not the imperialist systems that have oppressed and colonized them that are the reason they are poor? Fascinating.
I think this is the common problem with rating systems though. Youtube is saying that the dislike count and ratio are used to unfairly pile on and reduce the real signal of the video. Instead some videos get brigaded for various reason ("I don't like this person" gets conflated with "I don't think this content is useful")

There was a user-submitted recipe app that had a similar problem, where rating system on recipes is challenging because does it imply that the recipe was incorrect, the food tasty, the writing poor? It is too hard to get that signal from a single point of "average rating"
Uh, Tether?
Thanks for the links. I get a strong sense from these sources that cases are ticking up in Germany and government is considering more restrictions. I get less strong of a sense that ICUs are primarily filling with severe covid patients. Seems reasonable that if cases are going up, hospital admission (including ICU beds) would go up, but its hard to conclusively validate that from these.

This is a small pet peeve of mine. Even though PCs have mostly lost dedicated "sound cards" they still have dedicated hardware for sound decompression in their SoC packages. The big reason I think games often think they need so much uncompressed audio has not as much to do with hardware support as much as it is that games and general consumers "forked" on different compression paths in audio. Most consumer audio is MP3 and has been for decades, while most game audio went to patent unencumbered formats like Ogg Vorbis. Everyone has MP3 hardware decoding and almost no one has Ogg Vorbis in hardware. Even with the MP3 patents expired I think game companies just forget it exists as a well-supported lowest common denominator format with a wealth of hardware support. Sure, MP3 is a lossy compression format, but the specific losses in MP3 would hardly matter in most game soundscapes (and also Ogg Vorbis is similarly lossy, though "better" in double blind studies of single audio files).

(Some of that I think is also political/contractual in the way that using MP3 would give some additional types of PC players "free soundtracks" while using other compression formats is a bit of security through obscurity and raises the bar slightly for PC players that don't, for instance, know what Ogg Vorbis even is.)
This isn't a fine for Google generally. This fine is for a specific thing Google did wrong: prioritizing their own shopping results in search. The fine was specifically calculated to be greater than whatever revenue Google made from this behavior.

To follow your analogy, they robbed a bank for a million dollars and got fined 2 million. Then keyboard warriors shouted that they should have been fined 10 million because of unrelated crimes which are still being litigated.
that's fine, I'll just use "report" instead to express dislike

If you want to write unmaintainable code in Go, it's already very easy; just use interfaces incorrectly. Go lets bad programmers write bad programs. If you have a solution to that problem, your programming language will be the one that kills all current programming languages.

Generics will be similar; people will misuse them, and you'll curse their names when you have to dive in and debug it. But it will also let good programmers write very good programs and libraries, and that's going to be a huge benefit for everyone. As we've seen with interfaces, they can be misused, but they can also be used correctly. Just look at the standard library for examples of how they work well. io.Copy() was written once and can work on buffered streams, disk files, HTTP bodies, ... anything! That's a good use of interfaces. We're going to see the same with generics, and it will make a lot of people's lives easier and more enjoyable.

There is no question that mangroves can save shoreline, today.

The sea level rise in question is not enough to kill mangroves and won't be for some time. One source:

On an unrelated note, I am glad that you are doing some research and hopefully learning a bit along the way.
19B international exposure really doesn't seem like a lot, but, as you said, in the context of 300B total in liabilities. $279B is -a lot- for a Chinese market where the home ownership rate is almost 90% and non-primary home purchases account for ~70% of the housing purchases.
The slight blooming is certainly noticeable in a contrived test, but I think you'd struggle to be bothered by it in any actual usage unless you're extremely picky, or spending a lot of time with very bright text on pure black backgrounds.

Read the article. They specifically say that they will still use "like" and "dislike" to help figure out recommendations for videos to recommend to you, and that the publisher of the video will still see the dislike count, so the creator gets the feedback.
It's not the plan though. You can still inject global styles into libadwaita apps. It continues to be as bad an idea as it was before. I'm happy to provide details here.
> only party holding enough data

Correct.

Assumption.

For all we know, they could be making up bullshit to cover up the real reason; e.g. Disney/Marvel (a source of revenue) or the White House (with the threat of potential regulations or maybe just the political bias of YT staff) or YouTube themselves (YouTube Rewind) are very unhappy that their videos are so unpopular.

Since we can't access their data, we will never know one way or the other. We either have to trust their corporate PR, as you seem to have done, or analyze their possible motives for making a decision that is seemingly user-hostile.
