>Do people actually look at the votes before watching a video?

Yes, lots of people do that to avoid wasting time on bad videos.

Especially for product review videos or tutorials, the first thing I look at is the dislike count compared to the like count. If dislikes are high, it's because the reviewer didn't provide useful information. E.g. a "top 5 dash cams" where the video is simply a slide show of dashcams will have more dislikes than likes.

Dislike counts may be unreliable for politics videos but it was an accurate indicator for other topics like DIY how-tos. With the dislikes gone, I now scroll through comments first before hitting play. (But some channels disable comments so that doesn't always work.) I hope Youtube brings the dislikes counter back as their policy change is very user hostile.
The only time I've ever used stuff like this for is to support macOS users when I don't have Apple hardware to test on, or to bootstrap a Hackintosh (also used solely for supporting others who actually like macOS) when I don't have ready access to Apple hardware.

I imagine that similar is true for many users of this project, although some others use it just to daily drive macOS on a configuration Apple doesn't sell.
Oh the dislike button is still there. It just does nothing anymore. Isn't that what we all supposed to be? Dumb and beautiful.

With the dislike count gone you cannot make a quick judgement about what Youtube recommended to you. Less power to the people, more power to Youtube.

It's a very subtle change. Also a monumental one.

Do you have international students on your campus? Perhaps hangout with them.

I went to average college in redneck-ish city in middle of nowhere. I had a lot of local and international (Asians, Europeans, South Americans) friends. I found a lot of local students were very deep thinkers and we had very deep conversations like what you maybe seeking. My guess is that these deep thinking locals seeked us international students out.

> For one, it's likely that not every Congressperson has some deep dark secret that makes them blackmail-able.

I'd be more than willing to bet that they do. "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." and that only covers "honest" men who wouldn't have illegal coordination with PACs, bribes with lobbyists, personal communications filled with racism, or evidence of sexual activities that might upset their base. When "6 lines" becomes a record of everything you've ever done online, all of your communications, your GPS coordinates and the data of anyone around you it's going to get easier to find a noose around your neck.

Even if there managed to exist a single person in congress who wasn't screwing over the American people somehow for personal gain, or didn't have some skeleton in their closet they didn't want exposed to voters/campaign contributors when a group is capable of compromising your system and inserting whatever offensive material they want to use against you it's incentive enough to back off.
Hey, posted on your other comment asking for advice, so thought I'd return the favor. I haven't built a scraper for workday yet, but I looked a little bit at a workday board to figure out the process before writing this comment.
1.) Navigate to a workday page (we'll say https://broadinstitute.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/broad_institute... for example)

2.) Open up your developer console in chrome (Ctrl+Shift+J command on windows), and navigate to the Network tab.

3.) Change the filter to Fetch/XHR

4.) Refresh the page

5.) You should see a few requests pop up, the one you care about is the clientRequestId request

6.) Take a look at the response payload of that request (throw it in http://jsonprettyprint.net/ for readability)

7.) You get a json payload that gives you the job positions you're looking for

8.) In addition to that, go back to the original web page and scroll down. You'll see a new request pop-up, giving you a format for how you'll traverse through the next positions.

Hope this helps!
So being a private company means no one can criticize you and the detrimental effect you're having on public life? Besides, that YouTube is a monopoly isn't the main problem. Few people complain about utilities that work well. It is rather that YT has done harmful things as a monopoly.

The public/private distinction is important to respect, but according to reason. They don't live in hermetically sealed off universes as some libertarians would have you believe. Just as government can overstep, so can private business.

This is, on average over large numbers, not correct. Higher rates of disease spread harms everyone, the vaccinated included.

Which expert promised you that?

Cranks write like this. That is a shame as some of your other points are very correct, particularly around the need for Intellectual property waiver, which some have been calling for for some time, to no avail (1). BTW, they don't generally call it "open sourcing" in that field.

The article pointed out that:

> ...the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), which set in 2015 a goal to double the number of African American students taking calculus by 2025.

Which would be a step towards improving educational opportunities for everyone.

The new California standards are arguably going in the opposite direction.

I find this to be a trend, that many pushes for "equity" in education seeks to achieve this by reducing the success of high achieving groups to match that of the low achieving groups, instead of figuring out how to get the low achieving groups to the level of the high achievers.
> Twenty years ago you could believe you could find a nursing home that you could afford and that your parents could have a good enjoyable life in.

I thought the opposite, due to increasing average age and the population pyramid inverting from people having fewer kids.

If I recall, there were quite a few articles even back when I was in late high school of college in early 2000s about the solvency of social security and the problem of baby boomers all retiring and living to older ages without a bigger population of younger generations behind them to keep up the labor supply. And my perception of nursing homes was terrible when I was a kid, so I cannot imagine what it will be like in the future.

It is also why I have been so conservative in my estimates for how much I would need to accumulate during my working life to live my target retirement quality of life.
The public's elected representatives being easily blackmailable is obviously of great concern to the public, I don't know why you're downplaying this.
I really appreciate your comment, and I just want to reassure you that we take accessibility seriously.

In this case, we had to start somewhere, and we're excited to show it off. But it obviously needs work to be really accessible.

Svija might never be appropriate for content-oriented websites, which may be most of them. It was quite difficult to create the WTF page in Illustrator — it's not made for that kind of thing.

I am absolutely planning to build a tool, where, as you say "editor + format where responsiveness and fluidity were baked right into the authoring flow, like at the layer / object-group level".

As soon as we can get some funding it's off to the races!

Thanks again, you added an important point of view to the comments.
I don't really watch YouTube much (I don't get sitting through somebody talking about something rather than just reading it myself) but I've seen a lot of people who do use YouTube to find educational videos using the like/dislike ratio as an indicator of the quality of a video. I guess if you're about to invest a half hour in listening to somebody talk about math or computer programming, you want some indication that it's going to be a half hour well spent.

I guess I do the same when I'm thinking about buying a book about a technical topic, after all - I read the amazon reviews to see if it's going to be a waste of my time.
Yah, that sucks...losing access to PayPal can be really bad depending on your situation.

My brother got kicked off Facebook a couple weeks ago because his account was hacked and they couldn't decide who was legit and who wasn't, so they just threw up their hands and shut down his account. It hurt because he used Facebook a lot.

I agree that 2FA doesn't solve the problem of companies deciding not to invest in good, considerate, human, security conscious, customer support. More technology isn't always the right answer, especially when it comes to questions of companies harming and then dehumanizing their customers because it's cheaper than doing than the right thing.

Competition can only appear if there's a selling point and demand for it. If creators get paid on YT, they have less incentive to seek out an alternative. If they stop getting paid (because people like you cancel their Premium subscription) they become potential customers for an upcoming alternative that does pay them.
I'm not saying you should..I'm completely back to my pre covid behaviors and only wear a mask when I have to. That being said, I think a lot of your post is basically just conjecture; the claim that exposure to covid past the first infection or vaccination does not increase risk needs a little bit more evidence, and I don't blame people who are coming to the opposite conclusion.
>"youtube is a private company, they should be allowed to do whatever they want"

Yes? But this isn't the source of why people are upset. As far as I can tell, no one is protesting YouTube's ability to do what they did. No one is demanding the government force YouTube to reverse this decision.

I also feel like reflexive arguments like "So-and-so is a private company and can do whatever they want" is unhelpful and irrelevant to the discussion. Do I really need to be reminded that some giant corporation has control over their own platform? Was I ever under the illusion otherwise? Why is corporate criticism met with a reminder that they had the right to make the decision?

Additionally, the entwined mindset of 'you can just go somewhere else if you don't like it' is also unhelpful. Very few decisions like these are bona-fide deal-breakers.

that money is fungible is part of the design of money, that complex/subtle consideration is one thing that went into the construction of a monetary system. We could use non-fungible money if it seemed better.

the fungibility of money is similar to the idea that all the steps in a staircase should be the same height.
That's not what I'm implying at all. I'm saying Western propaganda is so thick and widespread only absolute totalitarian regimes can control it, otherwise it reaches everywhere and we're all brain-washed by it. There is no denying the CCP is a totalitarian regime.

> Don't migrate an application from the datacenter to the cloud

Reading the actual text of this one I get a different impression, but I'm still not sure I agree with this one. Applications can be radically different from each other in terms of how they are run.

At one company, we ran a simple application as SaaS for our customers or gave them packages to run on-prem. We'd stack something like seven SaaS customers on a single set of hardware (front-ends and DB servers). The cloud offering was a no-brainer, you can just migrate customers one by one to AWS or whatever, or spin up a new customer on AWS instead of in our colocation center.

Applications have a very wide range of operational complexity. Some applications are total beasts--you ask a new engineer to set up a test environment as part of on-boarding and it takes them a week. Some applications are very svelte, like a single JAR file + PostgreSQL database. The operational complexity (complexity of running the software) doesn't always correspond to the complexity of the code itself or its featureset.
The argument for "Nobody looks at it" logically leads to removing most features/buttons except play, but UI isn't designed that way for a single workflow/use case. I sometimes look to see if people overwhelmingly disliked the video.
Not related to the dislike feature in particular, but Youtube is definitely losing the next generation of creators. Plenty of people are using TikTok as their main platform nowadays, as it has bigger reach for their markets.
I took issue with this quote

> “Isolating complexity in a place where it will never be seen is almost as good as eliminating the complexity entirely.”
— John Ousterhout

If you can isolate the complexity in one place, it isn't complex. It means that it is definitionally simple and separable.

There are things which cannot possibly be isolated and they are complex. Examples are idempotency, things that deal with synchronization or time, resource management across multiple entities.

It seems pedantic, but this insight is remarkable in effective system design. If you figure out the inherently complex non-negotiables ahead of time, the rest of your solution becomes pipe-fitting. A large percentage of modern software these days is lost because they start with pipe-fitting and just move the complexity of their problem around endlessly, never identifying it.
Have you tried it on different screens?
Sorry, I'm not sure I expressed what I meant clearly so I'll try again: I mean that it's sufficient to be motivated WHEN armed with the proper knowledge; I think many people fail DESPITE being motivated because they are simply misinformed as to what works.

Yes, reading my comment again it doesn't seem I was saying that. Anyway, I don't think that much motivation is required, and if a diet / lifestyle change is hard to stick to, it's often because it's a misguided strategy. For illustration, counting calories while not making qualitative changes in the composition of the diet is just simply never going to work, long-term. Some foods are just too hyperpalatable, too prone to form emotional / addictive associations, but conversely that also implies those dietary changes will have to confront some emotional regulation issues as well. It sounds complicated, but I don't know, I think looking at how widespread the overweight issue is nowadays we have to conclude almost all of us are doing something wrong wrt to diet and lifestyle.

Because it's a terrible client with virtually no features, yet their business tactics strongarm players into using it. Nobody likes to be forced to use a certain product. EGS doesn't even offer a fraction of what Steam can do. Here's what I can come up with off the top of my head; I'm sure others can chime in with more.

Steam has a robust marketplace, with user reviews and a slew of sorting and shopping cart features.

Steam has friends, chat, voice chat, and group chat.

Steam has built-in, turnkey stream broadcasting of games.

Steam allows friends to drop in and play a game cooperatively with you, even if they don't own the game too.

Steam has remote play with friends.

Steam has remote streaming to devices around your home, and big screen mode so you can plop on the couch and enjoy an optimized UI and a gamepad.

Steam has robust gamepad support and configuration.

Steam has industry-leading Linux support.

Steam has VR mode, with custom spaces, interfaces, and a market of useful tools and mods to enhance the experience.

Steam has a music player and a built-in web browser.

Steam lets you add non-steam games to your library for convenient access.

Steam has customizable user profiles and fun social features, like card trading.

Steam has experimental mods and features via Steam Labs.

Now, ask yourself, how does it feel when EGS coerces players into using their inferior storefront through strongarm business practices.
I agree with all of this. That's why a small number of people and their circles won't be a threat to Youtube at all. Even the handful of popular Youtubers moving to self hosting probably won't get their attention for some time. And yeah, most non technical people won't be going down this path any time soon. That said if each small circle of people had a couple geeky friends and pool together some money they can do it. It's happening albeit it very slowly. Too slow for YT to notice or care about the insignificant churn-and-burn. I would not be surprised if there were also a chunk of youtubers that don't even want monetization.
The youtube automatically deleting comments thing is strange, it happens to me quite often for no clear reason. I once left a commend on a veritasium vid where I got something wrong. Replies kept coming about what I got wrong. But anytime I edited the comment, or leaving a reply myself. The exact thing happened to my edits or replies as happened in the video.

It is not like I can't leave comments anywhere like the guy in the vid, it just, sometimes happens with specific things, with no clear indication as to why it happens.

If the everyone receives the cure for cancer, or benefits from wikipedia or linux, then you would expect to see this show up in productivity numbers elsewhere in the economy.

If instead we invest in US productivity destroying activities such as dismantling factories, price gouging, speculation, mass diss-information and distraction machines, net loss corporations, and indefinite warfare. Then you would expect productivity to fall eventually.
I switched to an iPhone this year mainly because everyone literally assured me is was the most incredible thing ever.

Hint: It's not. Literally nothing works as well as it does on Android. Voice recognitions absolutely sucks, swipe keyboard stinks, the phone drops calls if you fart, texts don't go through to non-iphone users, there's no way to send high resolution video/photos on mms, the charger is still the legacy outdated lightning connectors instead of modern USB-C, there's no way to transfer gigabytes of data to the phone over USB, search sucks, you can't disable Siri, and the screen gets scratched (I can't remember the last time I had an actual screen scratch on my Android phones).

This is undoubtedly the main driver. Apple just refuses to fix basic issues and their competition does.

I will say, it's a damned relief to have Google's invasive hands out out of your personal business though, and despite the operating system and hardware I'll probably stick with it for at least a year in hopes these issues are resolved.
But it only runs on Windows, unfortunately.

Congratulations for launching a new idea! There are plenty of kinks to be ironed out but it looks promising.

A couple of problems on my end (Firefox on Android, low-end device): selecting text is very wonky, noticeable stutter when scrolling, first load of the page had really small text (on a refresh it showed me a proper mobile version).

If I may ask, what's the biggest motivation? The easy of use of authoring through Illustrator or having a more distinct graphic design? (the curves, funny text wrapping, et cetera)

Edit: also an issue in Firefox on Windows 10: page width is larger than the visible screen.
If you were to compare two individual people using that type of metric, I would agree. But if you are measuring multi-decade trends for the 161 million people in the US workforce, the measure they use seems adequate.
Sorry about the spoiler :(
