Works great if you’re very near transit or can have someone figure out that last mile for you. Works poorly if you’re not.

I would take public transit where I live but I’m about 1-2 miles from the nearest bus stop that could get me to the airport (too far to walk with checked luggage). No big lots or houses where I live - people crammed in. The bus is unpredictable and runs infrequently and takes a very long route to get to the airport. (1+hr) If I take the train, I have to go even further walking and then I have to pay something like $9 then make a transfer (more time spent) and pay another $6. The time spent is maybe less than the bus but because of transfer - it can be quite slow.

Add in that I’m usually traveling with a partner and I love to get to the airport just as boarding starts and this is a colossal waste of time + money. I pay the $30-35 for a Lyft/Uber and it’s way faster and more reliable. Sometimes cheaper too. It’s like 1/3rd the time spent (20-25min) vs 1.5hr+. Oh and I’m not adding in the unpleasantness of either transit option - just cost and time…

I live in the peninsula of SFBA and go to SFO at least twice a year. Seattle has much better options for SeaTac if you’re in the actual city.
How long ago is long ago? 7 years ago I took a course on the then-current state of the art for neural interfacing, and this was nowhere near a solved problem then. There was research going into emulating sea cucumbers, so the electrode could be stiff enough to penetrate the brain but then soften to avoid the build up of scar tissue. I think that research is still ongoing.
It's probably not so much about Nintendo specifically as one advertising partner, as much as it is about encouraging the advertiser ecosystem to be comfortable with continually spending money on Youtube as a platform.

If Youtube removes dislikes, there is less risk for these viral "dislike" moments to happen, which can make content producers and advertisers nervous.

Additionally, Google probably puts way more resources than you might expect into things like moderating the usage of the dislike button and making sure it isn't exploited by bots, nefarious actors, etc.

Not much downside from the business side of Youtube in taking steps to sunset the button.

That is market specific. Cannot answer for the UK.
Thats your opinion. I love the error handling in go. I think its superior to the traditional try/catch approach most other languages use.
To be fair, most of his comment is about the count and not the button itself. Which they are removing.
The fact that they want that does not mean that they will receive that; they may well turn out to be one of the many nations in history who lose their claims. We have an international consensus regarding basic human rights and process for refugees which means that they near certainly will get an ability to resettle somewhere, but their fishing rights may well be divided among the surviving neighbouring nations without any compensation to Tuvalu unless those neighbouring nations just choose to grant some.

By the way, what do you mean by "orbital rights"? IMHO according to the Outer Space Treaty you have only the right to the orbits you are currently actively using with your satellites and nothing more.

Good luck on finding anyone there to make a claim to. They've had 'million dollar' coverage from the start. They just don't pay claims. Yo AirBnB: when's the last time you paid out a million dollars to anyone?
If it's helping keep the "'if' considered harmful" crowd away, I say keep it. There are plenty of other languages.
I wonder what likes and dislikes are even for. They don't generate income for channel owners afaik, nor do they affect the recommendation algorithm for users, also afaik. Only views "matter." Especially if the other half gets hidden now, they should just get rid of the whole thing. It doesn't seem to provide anyone with anything, except useless bandwagoning

Encrypted Email 101: How to Encrypt Your Emails and Protect Your Company Data
From the article..

"What we learned from the experiment:
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. 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."

The most disliked video on YouTube happens to be a video made by YouTube themselves. [1] I guess they really didn't like that.

Honestly I think this will encourage people to post negative comments instead, which if you've seen YouTube comments can be pretty "colourful".

In 2020 Apple bought FleetSmith (https://www.fleetsmith.com/), we all knew that would become the basis of an Apple MDM, this is the result.
The most common application is camera calibration (making a model of what the lens is doing). Existing tools (opencv and friends) aren't very good. Downstream of that, anything that uses the calibration results to do stuff (usually either tracking the motion of the camera and/or making maps of what the camera is seeing) can make use of this toolkit also.

Currently the actual stuff you would do with the calibration (traking or mapping) is done by other libraries. The focus here is to produce a more precise, accurate calibration.

I'll clarify the docs
What happens if you were to do two trips in a row, would you then have to change your mind to completely different outcomes each time? Would that one time in the middle be invalidated by the later trip? How do you go about quantifying which trips offer enough change and which don't? How many trips do you then have to do to get there? How do you qualify a new set of beliefs as being the "right" one? Are YOU the person who gets to decide that? And so on.

I appreciate that you find freedom in your personal belief system, and I'm happy for you. But you're definitely getting ahead of yourself if you think that whatever you're holding on to is a universal truth for all that is living. I've had that conversation countless times with people who've also gone through DMT breakthroughs: you're no less in a prison of your own mind when you think this way, you've only shifted your philosophical perspective into a place that anchors different beliefs in place. They appear entirely valid because you perceive less subjective suffering, but generalizing the idea that those beliefs are valid everywhere and for everyone is like believing that a singular value in a system of differential equations give the whole picture. There's a difference between solving your problems and solving everybody's problems, and thankfully the scientific work comes into place to bridge that gap (however slow the process might be).

I appreciate your intentions and I think there are nuggets of truth in what you write (re-integration helps you carry things further, meditation offers relief, a change of beliefs most often does lead to lasting results yes), however some people are allergic to blindly dogmatic thinking and I happen to be one of them. Your entire post could have been written to advocate for religion X, Y or Z btw, and people in each religion have just as valid of a claim as you do when it comes to their belief systems alleviating their suffering.

Mandating that one is bound to find the truth with a big T if one "does it right" is pretty much one of the things that as a guide for others through psychedelics I've never made the mistake of advocating for. Psychedelics are a journey, and like any journey you might come in with who you are and come out with different parts but the more you project rigid expectations the less you'll actually extract from the journey itself. Like any journey, two different people taking the same means of transportation and going to the same place, might extract two entirely different things.

It would do a lot of good to a subset of the psychonaut community to retain empathy and compassion when it comes to sharing about personal journeys.
What's stopping me posting "Upvote to dislike this" as a comment on every video I dislike.

Cowardly move that's being presented as one thing but really there is a deeper message here.
Or how about repair videos. There are countless diy fixes for cars, computer, cell phone repair, and countless others. I use the dislike count to see if I am wasting my time watching a bad repair video. That doesn’t mean I won’t watch it but that I am more aware I may need to skim through or fast forward to key parts like the actual removal of a part or something. Anyways I think this is a negative change.
This is fantastic, especially as we see trends around owning your data. Tools like this allow us to migrate away from proprietary solutions like Airtable or Google Sheets.

On the other hand, I could also see this being used as somewhat as an "Admin UI" for SaaS software administrators.
It did default though, the title of the Reuters article is playing it too safe. The contents of the first paragraph describe the default.
>rent-seeking,

Unfortunately "capitalism" is a pretty ill-defined term. I wouldn't include "rent-seeking" as a characteristic of "capitalism" but apparently you do.

This makes it very difficult to have coherent discussions. For what it is worth, I think "rent-seeking" is probably a characteristic of all economic systems and therefore isn't something peculiar to "capitalism" and so shouldn't be used as a criticism of "capitalism".

The White House has one of the worst ratios. I would imagine thats likely why it happened.
Politics and profit tend to go hand-in-hand. I don't see how removing the dislike count will in any way increase the click rate.

You are misunderstanding the growth in power needed. If India and China move towards electric vehicles..... just New Delhi has 12 million cars. Just to compare, London has 2.6 million cars. New York has about 4 million cars.

It's useful for users to figure out if it's worth spending time watching the video.

That usefulness degrades for politically charged content but holds for things like how-to guides, lectures, etc.
If you don't make every payment in whole when it is due, and you haven't managed to renegotiate with your creditors, then you've defaulted. It doesn't mean that the debts are worthless, but it does mean that their value is up in the air.
This article has a very "you're all a bunch of phoneys" kinda vibe that I both love and hate. I think this kind of optimistic cynicism is much derided in Western culture and especially so in North America where we live under the tyranny of optimism. I think Žižek described it well and I would paraphrase his insight as, not only are we coerced to do things that we don't want to do, we are also expected to act as if we love doing them.

It reminds me of British customer service. If you haven't lived in the UK you might not be familiar with the phenomenon of a checkout person being surly. They clearly don't want to be scanning your groceries or engaging in inane chit-chat with you. And they have almost no pretence about that fact. At first it was a shock to me but after some time I grew to appreciate it. It's a similar observation many who have lived in both New York and California make about the general difference in phoneyness between the coasts. New Yorkers may seem assertive/rude/cold at first but you will soon love the fact you always know where you stand.

So I interpret the author as saying: not only are you being forced to write about something you don't want to write about, you can't even admit you don't want to write about it. Instead you make excuses like you are blocked, you big phoney. While that is likely to be a valid insight for some cases, I don't believe that it applies to all cases.
China doesn't have a convertible currency, it might cause turmoil in China but I don't see how it can effect the rest of the world much.

Most RAW camera files like Nikon NEF are based on TIFF with a lot of proprietary extensions to the format.
Then the up-front purchase cost is being relocated to later during use, and Apple fairly wants in on that.
In my experience the information getting across is just a pulse check of how others feel about the content. Tells you something about what to expect from the video.
Why not protect the other creators which don't get so many likes compared to other creators and hide the like count too?
I don't really understand what you are getting at, your points seem sort of disjointed. The comment I was responding to asked "Why can't this work in the US", and I don't think anything you've said refutes my point that Ronald Reagan's presidency is responsible for the shift in attitudes against public participation and enthusiasm for public works and administration.

There is no doubt that the New Deal platform was becoming somewhat wasteful toward the end of its' era, but it was still serving the broader public. Post-Reagan the government has been far less involved in directing the economy toward the benefit of the majority, and the conservative movement he fostered has worked tireless to ensure people don't trust the government to do anything.
Ah the old just rebuild the entire internet and all your hardware from the ground up if you don’t like what you see argument.

But reddit removed the upvote/downvote counter a long time ago?

I guess the aggregate is better than just the upvotes but it still is not ideal as a post at +102/-101 is not the same as +2/-1.

> Remove negative counts, make people more likely to click on videos

How were you seeing the dislike count before clicking videos before?

I might be mistaken but I thought under normal circumstances you couldn't see the dislike count until the video was already starting anyway.
Go is great! Looking forward to another 12. Hear hear!
>Do you have a source? I don't think it is "more effective" in terms of the remission rate.

I actually look at the broader picture: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20616621/

There's clear evidence that the antidepressant companies have inflated numbers and the actual numbers seem to suggest it's more like ~7% effective on par with placebo levels.

The conclusion made is that we need to look at alternatives.

>That being said, in this hypothetical world where you can choose between shrooms and SSRIs, you would have to compare the side effects as well.

True. SSRIs even at same efficacy would be out of the question given the risk. Mushrooms on the otherhand? Kind of recreationally used.

Flipside, we have a very clear problem. As marijuana legalizes, we are going to re-evaluate all these other psychedelics. In addition to the political situation of the losing war of drugs. We may politically seeing marketing on why we need to legalize. So we need more info.
Exposure to the international market is 19 billion USD so I'm guessing some funds will take a bad hit and will start legal proceedings. Bonds must have been junk for awhile now though so don't know who takes the hit. The unknown is the internal Chinese market side-effects. Depends on who holds the debt and if the government steps in to rescue it.
How much exposure does the Western world have to this? My guess would be "not much". It'll sting some emerging market investors, but I don't think you'll see a massive knock-on here.
> There's no reason to believe that Twitter is actually interested in decentralization

Bingo! If this was anything more than lip service they'd stop talking about it and just do it. ActivityPub exists and Twitter could play ball within the W3C.

shout out to the author of Mastodon, who recently called this out:

http://cdevroe.com/2021/10/26/bluesky-status/

"The truth is that Twitter could become decentralized almost overnight by simply adding some JSON-LD serializers, an inbox endpoint and maybe tweaking their storage schema slightly to become part of the fediverse – anyone who wouldn’t want to use twitter.com could follow twitter.com users from their own server and so on. That does not require 2 years of making people who don’t work for you talk to each other."

“most cases, pork isn't obvious”

That was my point. A new train line in someone’s district; pork or infrastructure?

65 billion for “broadband” in language written by Comcast’s lobby machine. Pork or infrastructure?

From all appearances it depends on who is in power and if there’s enough pork to buy off a dozen congressmen on the other side of the isle, it’s no longer pork but “infrastructure.”
It depends on the type of work. For people who code like they're writing a novel, yeah, a laptop can be perfect and encourage focus. But for anyone who works with real-time financial data, working on a laptop screen would be a nightmare.
It solves nothing. They still need something to mark poor quality videos so that the viewers don't waste time figuring it out themselves. Oh, wait, the mighty algorithm gods of Google will again decide for you what you like.

It seems to me Makani's problem is they wanted larger scale power generation, and of course can't rely on constant wind, so needed a way to settle and recover. Of course that's not a problem for smaller-scale builds like the OP.
My 2018 Mac Mini would crash going to sleep every single time after the final Mojave point update. There was a ton of forum posts on the usual Apple sites so it wasn't just me. The "fix" was to upgrade to Catalina which is a pretty crap fix when it requires you dump all 32bit software.
Clicking through your comments, I think you're setting a double standard. I'm not trying to start a flame war, I'm holding a trillion-plus-dollar company accountable for a claim they made on the webpage this thread was based on. You're welcome to refute these claims or ignore them altogether, but arguing that people shouldn't post about Apple's history of privacy abuse only makes you look bad. Tanking the downvotes is just the cost of making a subversive claim on Hacker News.
It's in the best interest of a bank not to repossess because there are operational expenses and the bank will get more return if the loan goes to completion.

And that’s the biggest issue that Flutter has IMO. They first launched the mobile platforms, which where in decent shape, then they came out with Flutter Web, which the last time I checked is still not in any place where it is actually usable, then instead of fixing it they just started adding desktop support.

Like man just calm down and stabilize for a moment, it’s not an arms race.

In my mind Flutter isn’t native to any platform rather than all of them, so I like React Native much more these days.
> I’ve provided enough evidence to indicate this is true.

Have you? You've provided evidence for less than half a million, yet you claim its at least $2M.

I do agree IMO they really shouldn't accept much money but you're claiming you've shared proof they've received multiple millions and yet you've only shared proof for less than half of that.
And then we come back to the age old question of who decides what is "hate speech", "deliberate misinformation", and other doubleplusungood topics?

Why can I not criticize the US class system and apply solutions?

There are plenty of problems to go around, and to assume for me that my statement as an either/or fallacy is disingenuous.

However, given my experience of 50+ years on earth, or just even 5 years of looking at who gets killed for selling a loose cigarette, or who gets shot for complying with a police stop, and who gets to walk for raping an unconscious woman, and who gets millions of taxpayer dollars in PACs for inciting a coup, I think the news speaks for itself about class vs. justice in the US. In this context, it appears you are obfuscating to protect the corrupt.

I have MBA M1 for almost a year and haven't faced any crashes yet. On the other hand, I have some app that just hang infinitely (beach ball of death) and ignored every input of my mouse and keyboard. So I have to do the last resort is to force shutdown on my MBA. And the app went back to normal. So I was wondering perhaps it is something do with the dependencies or the app itself is fighting with the system?

I have a few issues on my Windows 10 that I thought it was Windows issue since it kinda point to Windows that are causing the errors. When I investigate it further, turn out it is the app that are clashing with Windows which led Windows to freak out.

I wonder for this article, could it be the app, libraries or dependencies that are just behaving plain stupid and led macOS to freak out?
