I think the average person generally isn't aware of YouTube alternatives. Alternative video platforms don't seem to be a thing people seek out. In my own experience, I only know about Rumble and Odysee because a content creator I like wanted to mirror their work on other sites in order to avoid having all their eggs in one basket. If it wasn't for that, I probably wouldn't even be aware of these platforms.

Going a step further, people use YouTube like a video search engine. If people want to see a video they type in the terms they are looking for and see the results. They don't search for an alternative platform first, and then enter the keywords on those sites. Perhaps designing a video search engine that looks across multiple platforms would address this?
Even the MQ-9 has a top speed of 200 knots. Way too slow to overwhelm defenses. Most drones are hardly better than a typical fighter jet or a cruise missile. Cruise missiles have been around for decades now and we have pretty good defenses for them.

Drones cheap enough to be produced in massive quantities cannot carry enough payload to be effective against modern ships unless you are in such a short range you may as well shoot a shell at the target.

However, the autonomous F-16 project is something else. Small radar cross section, datalink guided missiles, AIM-120Ds and ship killer missiles on an autonomous fighter platform is just scary.
What software can have another letter char when Alt key+letter key is pressed?
What software in the world can give a letter character else when Alt or Shift key + a letter key is pressed for about 13-15 keys?

Up to the point that is creating new input method: a reliable single (right) handed keyboard capability

As for Shift key + letter, the shift function is done by Ctrl+Shift to give/register upper case letter

I read the new paper and I'm familiar reading physics articles. It strikes me almost as GPT-3 generated in places.. It certainly would not be accepted in its current form by any peer review process in a high impact journal. I'm sure the intent and ambition is absolutely sincere and there is serious research here but it's presented in a very unclear way IMHO. I think the paper could be rewritten to be more focused..

Roommates are not necessarily strangers. If you are arguing living with parents doesn't decrease loneliness over living alone... I'm going to argue that's a non intuitive argument. That doesn't mean you are wrong necessarily but it does mean I'm probably going to question it.

As far as I can tell this hasn't really been studied, at least this paper from 2019 on loneliness says "There
is virtually no literature that looks at socioeconomic status as the independent variable."

Another interesting thing is that a bunch of US agencies did a similar exercise - a pandemic - as recently as 2019:

The comments below echo what I think. We are social animals, deal with it.
It comes preinstalled on all mobile phones.

If YouTube were just a website like any other video host, people wouldn't care. Do you really care about which video host a video you want to watch is on? No, more than likely you care about the video itself.

But YouTube is an app, on your phone, click it and search for what you want, oh whatever you're looking for is probably on YouTube anyway.

And that's another thing, YouTube is basically the only site with google search embedded into itself that only searches itself. Imagine a video search engine like YouTube that showed you results from all sorts of video sites.

These two things together are why. Want to find a video? Click the video finding app on your phone. Oh, it only searches YouTube? Oh well, the video is probably on YouTube anyway.
Power move by the new CEO. Haha. I have read about this, but only recently have I started noticing this. Acquisitions are expected after a new CEO.
> you knew exactly which word I was referring to.

I have come across this issue several times in the past couple of years by the virtue of reading comments under articles. These criticisms are a part of the public record.

> And why do you suppose that is?

Most people learn words by figuring out what others call a certain thing, and then reusing that term to build a shared understanding of the world. This word is no different. At no point did this label acquire (in my perception) any connection to ability (mental or otherwise) until I first heard of it from US-centric English speakers. In my perception, it's the opposite: anything that is "retarded" is perfectly capable of being better designed/implemented or of making better choices, but instead actively chooses to do the worst possible thing for seemingly irrational reasons.

https://zerodium.com/, the going rate for a full exploit there (and I assume, one that works quickly & leaves little trace, i.e. a high quality exploit, never dealt with them before) is 80k.

Under the old rules that's already 4x as much as MS, but the warm fuzzies made up for that I suppose. Under the new rules, 40x as much, and no warm fuzzies are worth that imo.
hmm I'm in front of screens way more than I'd like to admit and I rarely feel strain. perhaps your habits need to change? make sure the room light is stronger than the monitor backlight for example. I spends maybe few minutes each day just adjusting brightbess and contemplating how hardware manufacturers rarely take this into account & daydreaming about starting a TVs/monitors company revolving around the concept of perfectly-dynamic backlight.
IMO service objects are an OOP-cargo-cult abomination, especially the kind named after a verb with a "call" method (CreateFooFromBar#call), so the first thing I reach for to offload my business logic involving multiple models or just lots of logic are PORO domain objects with meaningful non-generic method names (a CampaignReservation with "#create!", "#persisted?" or "#available?" methods, a XlsxClientImport with "#perform" or "#check_format" methods).
>No, sometimes I'm the pedestrian.

Yes, and sometimes I'm the driver. I'm talking about those other times, and the "you" was used in the general sense.

I guess we have a significant philosophical difference about how we see this problem. I approach it in much the same way as a woman would deal with the threat of being raped - sure, one should always take measures to watch out for oneself, but at no point can it be reasonably cast as "taking responsibility", because the responsibility always rests with the guilty party, the attacker (or the inattentive driver whose negligence becomes criminal if someone's hurt).

It's not good enough to say "here are some rape whistles, purrsonal responsibility gals". And it's not good enough to say "shit happens, drivers sometimes don't care, wear some reflective vests, maybe put on a blinking light and a little spinning propeller on your hat to be more noticeable". No. Instead, we should (and some of us do) demand actual accountability for drivers who kill pedestrians through inattention. We don't have that in North America, and as a direct consequence a lot more people die on our streets, and blinking lights or reflective vests don't have squat to do with that.

And we do insist on proper lighting of designated pedestrian crossings, at the very least. Pretty sure walking + more street lights is far more environmentally friendly than driving + no street lights at all.

The responsibility lies squarely with the driver. Starts with the driver, stops with the driver. Lack of proper lighting can be a contributing factor, but it's the driver's responsibility to account for that. And all this muddying the waters, with this "yeah but was your hat blinking", is unhelpful.

> function based views

Class-based views, in their most basic form, are a lot easier to read. E.g. look at the DRF CBVs I have here:

https://github.com/Alex3917/django_for_startups/blob/main/dj...

If you can avoid Generic CBVs (things like ListView) and inheritance, then the only difference between FBVs and CBVs is that CBVs make it easier to see what's a GET / PUT / POST / DELETE by adding some syntax highlighting that makes it easier to visually differentiate which code goes to which method. You don't need to know anything about classes in Python in order to use them.

It's not at all difficult to switch from FBVs to CBVs later, and most people (myself included) use FBVs when getting started. But I'd also say that if you're willing to push through the initial discomfort and spend the extra half hour or whatever on YouTube in order to understand them, then you do get a little bit of a nicer overall development experience.

CEO of vimeo will cry themself to sleep after reading this post
This was an informative counter-argument to what I normally read about US healthcare, thanks for taking the time to share this info.

This site gives several survey findings related to medical bankruptcy. The data is complex and conflicting at times (like you would expect given something as complex as 300+ million people’s healthcare) but the number that the stats seem to fluctuate around is 1 million people. 1 million people declare bankruptcy a year due to medical-related costs. That’s 0.333% per year.

So there are a lot of people (1 million if you believe the data in that link) per year being affected by this.

One should seek to determine the theoretical price (i.e. "true" price) of an asset. If the spoof bid is above the theoretical price, then you hit it. The spoof bid is noise... find the signal and make the spoofers pay dearly.
Bitcoin does not prevent fractional reserve banking. Even though you cannot mint more Bitcoin, you absolutely can increase the "number of BTC stored in customer FOO's account" entry in your database. Nobody will stop you. Fractional reserve banking does not rely on actually physically printing money. Similarly, fractional reserve banking for BTC would not rely on actually mining BTC.

The community is just full of goldbugs, which makes businesses actually operating in this manner today unattractive.
It should be noted that Pearl Harbor has nothing to do with the decisive battle doctrine. Indeed, from a strategic perspective, Pearl Harbor actually ruined the ability of the IJN to achieve a decisive battle, since the USN would be highly unlikely to risk any remaining fleet forces to seek the decisive battle that Japanese wanted, much less the Japanese model scenario of steaming en masse to somewhere near Japan.

That illustrates the strategic incompetence of the IJN. They had, without a decisive battle, won control of the seas--which is why you want the decisive battle. But they didn't exploit their control of the seas (to some degree, they couldn't--the core interests of Britain and the US were outside of the range of Japan to plausibly threaten). And by the Guadalcanal campaign, the USN wrested control of the seas (at least around Guadalcanal) away from Japan--without a decisive battle, still--and used that to devastating effect: the Japanese garrison on Guadalcanal was unable to be receive sufficient supplies because of it. And still, the Japanese fretted about not having their decisive battle.

It's not for nothing that Pearl Harbor is often considered an example of simultaneous spectacular tactical success and ruinous strategic failure.

Bandwidth and storage cost a lot. YouTube wasn't even profitable till a few years ago. Any new "free speech" video platform will be inundated with content that YouTube bans, things like hate speech, gore and calls for violence etc. which are not palatable to advertisers.
They increased the prices recently, without any VAT a new instance of the CX11 is now €3.49 p/month.

This is completely empirical and based on conversations with people who, like me, immigrated to the US.
I think it’s lifestyle: The environment we came from naturally encouraged walking and physical activity. Diets were also healthier.

Here in the US, at least in the Midwest, residential and commercial layouts are completely car centric, there are few places where it’s more convenient to just walk. In contrast, in more densely populated cities, like the ones me and my friends came from, a combination of factors, like traffic, lack of parking spaces and availability of sidewalks makes it way easier to just walk to places.

Regarding food, I think due to the labor/capital balance of the US, people spend way less time cooking from scratch. It’s funny that many recipes have steps of the like of “mix a can of that” or “stir half a packet of such”. I don’t think the effect in health is as much when compared to lack of physical activity, but I’m convinced it’s a factor.

I’m convinced that for those who have access to it, medical care in the US is one of the best, if not the best in the world. But there is only so much that can be done in a medical setting to offset detrimental lifestyle patterns. To me, that is one of the overlooked factors when comparing life expectancy across nations as a measure of the medical system performance. Ceteris Paribus.

Agreed; despite the article stating a lot of research was required I don't think the author really put in the time or understood what would be required of them to live off-grid, especially at the beginning.

Going truly off grid requires either a breathtaking amount of labour, massive upfront capital, or both. It sounds like the author had none of those things.

My grandparents heated their house in northern Ontario with only firewood for decades. Grandpa could cut down and haul all the trees he needed for a year in a week or two, but if you didn't want to pay for a kiln then it needed to dry for at least a year, so you were always working a year ahead. The house was designed with a massive brick chimney as huge thermal mass to absorb heat all day and slowly release it overnight as the fire lessened. Even then Grandpa would still stoke the stove before going to bed at 10 and he was always up at 5 to re-stoke the fire and do his exercises. Grandpa had to put labour into cutting trees, splitting logs, hauling wood into the house, and keeping the fire going. He also invested capital and labour into the house, making sure it was sufficiently insulated, designed for wood heat, and then he built it himself. Once he turned 85(!) he decided the labour was no longer worth it and they installed propane hydronic heat.

The author complains of their solar not being sufficient due to rain, but didn't mention the size of their array or battery storage. Going off grid without much sacrifice requires a really well insulated house, an array probably at least 8-10 kW, and likely 10+ kWh of storage. That all doesn't come cheap, but since panels and batteries have come way down it's likely cheaper than the cost of getting BC Hydro to run a utility line to the property, which starts around 30k for rural properties and I've seen quotes over 200k.

Their "composting toilet" was just a bucket, but there are great composting toilets out there that don't smell and do a fantastic job, they just cost money. Sounds like they were not happy investing labour into composting, and didn't have the capital for a low-effort tool.

I believe they chose the 'a...' pattern as it matches other apis in the standard library - it also makes it explicit but concise.

I can't see it being dropped any time the future, Django will always have a sync api, that won't be dropped. And there is no way in (current) python to combine a sync and async api into a single method.
Even worse than what you mentioned, they sometimes update the fonts and refuse to offer any way to version lock them. Really. Check out this issue for more details: https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1307. It's all a lot of magic for very little gain.
I believe they are renting, this may create difficulties in building outhouses and septic systems. I also suspect there are regulations regarding ground water pollution given the Salmon bearing streams and shallow wells in the Shuswap area.

I cut my own firewood but also buy it, I find that after fuel for saws and hauling equipment. My hourly wage based on savings for cutting my own wood rather than buying it works out to around $5 per hour. A cord of wood is a lot of wood and I typically go through 4 to 6 a year. I do other things that have a greater time to savings value so rather than spend a month and a half cutting and hauling wood I find the price of $180/Cord including delivery and stacking is a bargain.

Living off grid is definitely not about doing everything yourself, that attitude is probably the first thing people let go of when they leave the "Selfish City" and find themselves depending on their friends and neighbors in the country.
Competitors would have to make the content creators want to move their communities, knowing a large part of their community will not follow.

What about the policy aspect of telling people to isolate at home, avoid friends and family and other social gatherings, etc. for nearly 2 years now?

I'm not a fan of making everything a political issue, but since you went there - I see one group of politicians actively trying to cut us off from each other (well-intentioned or not) with venue closures, capacity limits, travel restrictions, event cancellation, recommendations to avoid gatherings, etc. and the other side trending more towards encouraging people to get back out there in the world and start interacting again.
Wikipedia also keeps devoting significant screen space to asking for more donations from time to time even though they have more than enough money to keep the site running indefinitely.

Sometimes I'm surprised by how shockingly unwalkable certain areas of Manhattan are. Why are the residential areas of Hudson Yards so terribly unfriendly to people who want to "hang out"? Because all of the third places [0] are purely commercial, rather than a mix of commercial and social. European cities do this much much better.

At least in New York there are plenty of parks (including a mix of commercialized like Domino Park and the High Line and more raw, like parts of Central Park and west side near the river). I can't imagine being in a city with poor public design, like SF.
