Don’t blame YouTube for this, blame the hordes of reactionary assholes who brigade videos with dislikes, trolling and hate comments because they disagree with someone’s personal identity, political views, past Internet drama, or whatever reason they can find to express some grievance against someone they don’t know. Most YouTube users (and people on the Internet in general) do not conduct themselves respectfully or demonstrate any sort of intellectual curiosity when engaging with these sorts of feedback mechanisms. They just want to make other people feel bad so they can feel morally superior with their useless arguments that do nothing but waste disk space and bandwidth on your server.

If you’re building a platform that allows user engagement, you do not want the equivalent of the YouTube comments section on your platform. Do not build features for anonymous posters or allow open, unmoderated discussion. Your users will destroy the thing you spent all of your time and money building, and they’ll spit in your face here on Hacker News if you ever try to do anything to salvage it.
Heavy blow to JAMF folks! It would be interesting to see how thing go from now onwards for them.
The article is not talking about how to write better though, it's about why people have trouble starting to write in the first place. From the article:

"By contrast, when you’re in touch with your honest aesthetic/spiritual/material/intellectual priorities, writing is pretty easy. I don’t mean, like, that it’s easy to write immortal masterpieces—there are heights of aesthetic perfection that can only be reached when the right material meets a well-trained set of hands. But writing a decent enough first draft—something to fuck around with until it’s readable—should be fairly simple. Sure, it takes discipline to open the document and begin typing rather than continuing to scroll Twitter. But once you begin, it shouldn’t feel like trying to squeeze champagne out of wrought iron. It should feel like opening a floodgate—whether that results in a furious swell or an amiable trickle."
Pork == corruption.

You can protect an industry without explicitly handing billions of dollars to one single player in a corrupt process that doesn’t actually help the company or the country be competitive.
Lower tax bill, as you need to pay taxes on assumed gain when you exercise your options, based on the latest 409a valuation of each share. The lowest such valuation in a startup is usually early in its life, and during your tenure, the valuation should go up steadily (or something's horribly wrong with the company's business) and thus your cost to exercise increases over time.

Another reason is more practical: it's much easier to exercise your options when the tax bill is lower and you just got a job/while you're employed (i.e. you're more plush with money), than when you're quitting/been fired and have 90 days to figure out where to get money from. Basically, it's better to be in control of when you buy, than being forced to buy or lose out.
It's way too vague if they're channeling that much attention to it.

Is it a good thing that an average person is getting fewer and fewer ways to participate in the exchange of ideas? Has this ever worked well in history where less speech was enabled was actually progress?

Is the future of humanity only that corporate-approved ideas and protests are allowed in the public square? Could this ever backfire in the future?

An average person might get their speech silenced when they get some fact wrong. Does the mass media suffer that same fate when they get something wrong? What are the consequences of effectively creating unequal classes of people?

Just a few random questions and thoughts that this line of thinking leads to, in my opinion.
Once Apple stops doing 22 percent year over year growth is when there is a problem. This is just Tim Cook’s personal plan to move Apple into more of a service oriented company and this product should have existed a long time ago.

Direct ancestor probably is mask-and-tape PCB design process, where the optical step also serve to shrink the (hand made) mask to significantly smaller size of the final board. In fact silicon masks were for a long time designed using essentially same process.

In fact if you want to make something mostly flat with small features some variation of photo etching process tends to be the easiest and most repeatable way to go about that.

I'm not saying food prices (even broad baskets like the this) represents inflation. The broad indexes are better for that. But it's not true to say that food prices are at the same level as a decade ago.
Mostly tangential: I find it amusing that I got served 3 different ads for Google Fiber on that reuters page (2 of them were the same ad). Of course this is because I looked at Google Fiber a week ago to see if it was in my neighborhood yet, but it isn't and at this point probably never will be.

It doesn't really matter if they remove it or not. Perceptions are what matter. People will be able to upload videos that are disconnected from what most people believe or actually want and there's no way to show that you don't agree with the video.

> But you’re mistaking inflation for the rate of inflation growth.

You mean... like... a first derivative? What am I mistaken about? I literally said literally exactly this:

>> It's various first and second derivatives + the amount of "potential energy" in the system that have (informed) people scared.

(and, in fact, it's not just the rate of inflation but also several other related rates of change and rates of rates of change and stocks of things that can fuel changes in those rates, but engaging in that nuance seems a bit fruitless given that you seem to be literally repeating my own point back to me while thinking you're disagreeing with me.)

> The rate of inflation growth is horrible right now.

yes thanks for repeating my point for me.
It looks like Apple all right. Grille is directly from Mac Pro.

Those are probably iTires. Apple wheels will be incompatible with normal tires for sure.

Precisely. Personally, I created a browser extension[0] for myself where I just save the webpage and set a reminder to read, and then just close the tab. This way, I just close the tab immediately, and then I would be able to revisit the page later via reminders. This kind of works fine for me.

If I have two tabs open, click "erase history" and one of these two tabs gets discarded, I have "used browsers correctly" (unless using the browser-provided tab functionality is always wrong) and still lost current application state. In such a situation there is no mistake to learn from, just broken user expectations (since no other browser does it that way) i.e. broken UX.

Also, I must point out that your choice of words with respect to users who have different habits than you - "PEBKAC", "need to take accountability for not using browsers correctly" is condescending, arrogant and simply rude - please do not do that. Not respecting users' choices and behavior is not an appropriate way to design user interfaces and is not an appropriate position from which to argue how user interfaces should be implemented. If browsers provide functionality for more than one tab, then browsers must work properly for more than one tab. In this case, the expected functionality for n=2 is the same as for n=1000, so the number of open tabs is not particularly relevant.
Despite years of talk about heterogeneous computing, I don't think there are any production kernels for any general-purpose operating system that are instruction-set-feature aware.

Linux and Windows both have partitioned schedulers, available through per-process and per-thread affinity masks. So it doesn't seem like it should be all that hard to implement. Its "just" a matter of expressing the process's (thread's?) requirements.
I think the idea of class as the parent used it is less upper vs middle class (in the sense of folks who can afford Yale vs folks who can't afford college), but rather the capital class vs the working class.

Do you have a boss? You are a worker, and even if you are making $500k a year you have more in common with other workers than you do with folks who make their money from having money.
nocodb dev team was very generous for me when helping me evaluate their product for my use case, including creating a test environment to understand my request.

I ended up not using them, but they created an issue for me on GitHub, saying my request was on their roadmap.

https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/580

Oh and they quickly researched a solution to an installation bug I was experiencing.

https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/579

TL;DR: great customer service from nocodb, so I'm happy to consider nocodb for future projects.
Note: the downvote ratio is a noisy (and sometimes misleading) signal.

From my personal perspective, most vaccine related videos have high % of dislikes. And bunch of videos implying Ivermectine as a cure videos have a high % of likes. I think the dislike ratio is not as valuable to many of these videos.

You're obligated to block, because you're responsible for giving it to them and you have to deal with the population as a whole. I based my decisions on my kid's temperament. You don't have that luxury.

It doesn't mean you'll be in any way effective.

By the same token, we block this kind of traffic at work...all it ended up doing was pushing the negative traffic to employee's cellphones. Which is fine, because it makes the office network safer.

Thanks for removing the extension requirement! Here's some feedback now that I can use the site:

- The summaries can be pretty nice when the thing I'm looking for is hidden in a body of text... but not so much when I'm just trying to find a product, or a specific website.

- I like the favicons... maybe also make the url a little more prominent? (I tend to scan for reputable looking urls when I'm sifting through search results)

- Products from Amazon etc would be great with images.

- Maybe I just need to get used to it, but I feel like I've already been conditioned to scroll vertically through results. Scrolling horizontally also requires more effort... so you'll have to work really hard to keep the most relevant results on the left, because no one is going to keep looking to the right.

- you autocompletes to youtube.com ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All, in all... it's a neat product and brings nice and new things to the table. I hope that you can try and focus on improving the quality of the search experience rather than taking marketshare and overturning a monopoly.
> I just can't bring myself to like what I've written.

This speaks directly to the author's point. When we cringe from our own writing, I think it's often one of:

1. We didn't express are true feelings well, so we feel deceitful or inauthentic. This is the vague shame and guilt you feel when you wrote what you thought you were supposed to say but not what you really believe.

2. We did express our true feelings, and we're scared of the vulnerability it creates. When you bare your soul, you lower the shield between you and your audience. You show them exactly where your soft spots are. Any criticism will cut all the more deeply. This is that blushing cringe you feel when realize your heart is laid bare for all to see.
I recall there being a game mentioned somewhere here on HN, where you start with basic logic gates (I think), and you build up a fundamental CPU at the end of the game, using the parts you discovered along the way.

Problem is, I don't remember what the game is called, and no amount of searching seems to help me. Anyone know what it was called?
There is also lack of capacity. Due to any number of reasons, someone may not have the time or energy to actually write.

Recognizing which one is the problem is difficult because they compound each other. Each one has a different fix.

I struggle with capacity and fixing that probably requires me to make time and rearranging my life to make more energy available. If that means talking to a therapist, don’t be afraid to. :)
Why not TeXmacs instead of VSCode? That way, you would have a WYSIWYG note taking system.

You aren't paying for a product. It's crazy people don't even realise that Wikipedia isn't free because they're just nice people who prefer prefer run on donations not capitalism. It's free because they don't own a single word of their encyclopedia. That was how it was set up. They knew they couldn't charge for it, because they weren't paying anyone to write it, and aren't offering any guarantee that you can trust it. It can be copied and hosted freely by anyone. Wikipedia can do what it likes with your money, except, of course, pay someone to write and maintain a trustworthy encyclopedia. Not by choice, by law.
as someone responsible for a small nonprofit that runs on google sheets, this product is super exciting.

a suggestion: key to us adopting this would be the migration story. I’d love if that was clearly presented on the website.
Sounds like they're taking "you're not allowed to disagree" from 1984 to heart.
There are coil antennas, but they work magnetically.
The 40m straight wire works electrically.
The key difference is that the electric antenna interacts with more of the wave, so it's stronger in the far-field, while the magnetic antenna interacts more localized. The latter is why/how NFC works at 13 MHz (23 m wavelength) with an antenna that fits on a credit card.

Just because it is a national security issue doesn’t mean the spending and way it will be allocated isn’t a corrupt waste of time (unfortunately). If it is a corrupt waste of time, it’s pork.
Evergreen reminder that if this type of crypto actually fostered decentralization and community ownership, Twitter would not be investing in it. This is the same company that has gone out of its way to shut down 3rd-party clients, that suppresses user agency by using phone numbers for account verification, that has progressively tightened and tightened its developer APIs over time. We generally know what Twitter's position is on Open access and community ownership over platforms already.

There's no reason to believe that Twitter is actually interested in decentralization, there's no reason to believe that Twitter is interested in a social media landscape where Twitter has less power. And that should make you a little bit suspicious of the things they promote, it should make you a little bit suspicious of whether or not these technologies are actually going to decentralize these platforms in a meaningful way.

But if the Twitter team wants to prove me wrong, they're welcome to invest into Mastodon or build official bridge APIs or allow users to pull Mastodon timelines into their main Twitter timeline. They could do some real federation and actual decentralization here, since they claim to care about it so much. They could open up their APIs and make them more easily accessible, or add back support for 3rd-party clients.

This is like when Facebook talks about Open standards inside a metaverse; y'all blocked Instagram accounts from linking to other social networks, you really expect us to believe you'd back a product that encourages competition?
i just resent that shopping links are at the top of every image search - jesus google, i’m not always trying to shop
1. You pay tax on the difference between the current valuation and your strike price. So if you exercise before new valuation events you save tax dollars, potentially a lot of tax dollars.

2. If the company gets acquired there are several mechanisms founders and investors use to wipe out options holders. It is harder to wipe out common stock owners. If an acquisition event takes you by surprise you may not have time to exercise.

3. You may get laid off, decide to quit, or get fired, and have only a limited time (3 months, often) to exercise your options. That might be a bad time for you to spend the case, so you may want to do it now while you are in a better position to do so.

Hell, as a yearly income, that's poor much less a networth.
Not destitute, but definitely poor. You can't afford to live anywhere near a city and probably live in a trailer or worse (shack with limited services). The metric is by household, so no splitting with roommates.

I find this pathetic. As if the removal of the "dislike button" helps in any way, shape or form to create a more "inclusive" environment.

This reeks of the silencing of what is perceived as dissident voices, is all.

I've personally never hit a like or dislike button in my life, never will ... but found it interesting as a viewer to see the ratio. Even knowing this ratio is probably at least partially the outcome of bot farms and the like.

Disney, DC Comics and the like must've complained about bad ratings/unfavourable like/dislike ratios I guess..

Let's try and see this as a tangent/bastard child of Newspeak. What better way too have people forget about something than to remove its linguistic manifestation from the dictionary? Same thing here, except people's way of expressing their approval/refusal. Google and the like are literally after the ultimate "macdonaldification" of people - cattle unable to say "NO".

I honestly cannot tell if this is a parody comment. Not only is it completely false, it’s ignorant and unhinged.
I will miss the ratio:

I used this quite a lot for determining if a video was decent or not.
Absolutely.

If you are NOT willing to commit your own wealth, time and money to ANY CAUSE, you are NOT SERIOUS ABOUT THE CAUSE.

This is always the best test for ideological or belief commitment - are you will to prove your commitment with something you actually value or not. 99% of the time, a claimed position is not strong enough to pass that commitment test.

One example was when I was taking a short-course at UCLA for "Nuclear Weapons Effects" for my job at the time. We had protesters there the first day plus a local TV station filming.

Turns out that within less than 60 seconds of the TV cameras leaving, all 40 of the "dedicated peace protesters" were gone and no where to be seen. And they never showed up again for the rest of the week despite it being an 8 hour a day course for 5 days straight.

The depth of their commitment to their so-called ideology was shallower than a puddle of water. A truly committed activist would have been there all 40 hours that week. There were none actually willing to commit their time. It was all a "virtue signal" without substance. What was more important than their "protest for peace"? Who knows - but it was probably as important in the grand scheme of anything as getting a latte or similar. Don't want to inconvenience a coffee break!

It was then I came to recognize "losers" who yell and bully without any actual commitment to their position. It's most of the left and ALL of the woke!
