Easy: Your extension looks at the HTTP status code and if it’s 404, query the distributed hash table for another copy of the video. Then replace the <video> element on the page with a different one that plays bytes from your callback function (Media Source Extensions) just like WebTorrent.

(Note: There are alternatives to YouTube that already use WebTorrent to make videos harder to delete, but their content is incredibly hard to sort through. Instead of improving on YouTube by making filters optional, they just didn’t implement filters at all. So most of the videos in search results are scams or political)

Dead comment that I can’t vouch for asks:

>Why do you need Blockchain for this?

I’m not sure if you need blockchain. I’d avoid it if possible because it’s expensive and slow. But you might not have a choice if you need a censorship resistant distributed log.

>Why can't you just cross post on Rumble with the exact same title and make an extension which replaces 404d videos with the equivalently titled Rumble video?

I’ve never heard of Rumble, but many have built YouTube alternatives only to run out of funding and end up on this list: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Deathwatch#Dead_as_a_...

Hell even my team has built a shitty YouTube alternative during a 1-day hackathon.

I'm not a conservative, I'm a rationalist. I don't make arguments based on "but poor mom and pop lost their jobs!!!". Instead, take a look at the pros and cons at a holistic, societal level and decide what is best quantifiably. Luckily, we don't even really have to do this often, because the free market usually gets it right.

Despite what a naive view of American politics might have you believe, both the far left and the far right want to abolish capitalism and markets in favor of totalitarian beurocratic control, they just have different flavors of how to get to and how to manage that state. There is very little difference in economic and social policy between historical communist and fascist nations. Only rational centrists who fight for liberal democracy and free markets support the best path forward for society.
None of Google's shared plans work cross-country - YouTube, Google Play, Stadia, Google One. All of them error, sometimes cryptically ( e.g. "Can't access payment methods"). It should be clearer what the issue is, with clear, concise error messages, but IMHO it's not a bug per se. Different country legislations, copyright, tax codes, prices, etc. etc. make that a complex matter and i see how they wouldn't want to deal with it.
I like this take a lot. But for me notes don't exist in just a single browser or even a single computer. The notes need to be well synced. Using a single plain text file actually works against that (because you are more likely to end up with conflicts).

Since march of this year I stopped following my eye doctor's advice ("wear your glasses as much as possible otherwise your brain gets lazy", which is proven BS) and looked into endmyopia (i think i even read about it on HN), as I was getting into the risk zone for retinal detachment (6 diopters), which can lead to blindness.

To sum it up: reduce the amount of near-work you do (looking at your monitor, smartphone, books, etc) and, if you already have glasses, use glasses with a reduced prescription or no glasses for near-work.

With these rules I've managed to go from -5.5/-6 to -3.5/-3.75 in just these 9 months. And that's with me still spending 12h a day on my computer.

Pro tip: you can get very cheap (as little as $3) myopia glasses from aliexpress or a bit more expensive zenni optical. So there's really no big barrier to entry.

Side note: Lasik only cures the symptom of bad vision (just like glasses), but not the cause (elongated eyeball, which is what increases the likelihood of retinal detachment). If you don't change your habits after lasik, chances are you will need glasses again a couple years later as your eyeball further elongates, see:
35% are above 0.5 diopters again just 3 years after lasik
https://bjo.bmj.com/content/103/4/565.abstract
58% are above 1 diopter again after 7 to 8 years.
https://www.proquest.com/openview/722546068e4b0c9c1d3acba7e3...

I recommend you read more on endmyopia.org to learn about the scientific background and the eye biology behind it. But what I summed up above should easily get you started though and in just a couple of months you should notice improvements in your eyesight (you can test it at home by printing a Snellen eye chart).

Finally going to the eye doctor is no longer frustrating because my eyes are improving instead of getting worse year by year :)
It seems like a reasonable opinion to me. Looking at the list of what's in coreutils, I don't see anything where performance would be a huge issue other than perhaps dd, so any performance edge Rust might provide seems moot. And I would guess that Golang would be less code and faster to write/implement.

I would feel differently if it were something else, like gawk, for example. Rust would be a better fit there.
I’m not sure we are in agreement on what tracking means.

This article advocates logging performance timings. You can’t track someone with that.
“ Yes, there are plenty of people working there that are overqualified, but that is the beauty of what Amazon is doing.”

4 vulnerabilities in 10 years sounds like a fantastic record, considering that the coreutils as a singular package has been around for 20 years (and the original tools for far, far longer). That's twice as long as Rust has been around.

Not to mention that memory safety is just one aspect of security. Rust's ownership model might have prevented those 4 vulnerabilities, but that doesn't mean that a whole host of others couldn't have slipped through.

I'm about a decade older than you, was on a computer 12+ hours per day since I was 10.

I started wearing glasses at 16 for 20/40 vision and then switched to contacts at about 25 years old. My vision has remained stable since then except for presbyopia. That is really the only effect of age that I've experienced yet and it is a pain to deal with.

If I don't have glasses on/contacts in I can read something right up against my nose with no problem but obviously have trouble seeing further away.

If I have glasses on/contacts in seeing things close up becomes far more difficult.

So if anyone has a fix for presbyopia, hit me up!

"Taking care" implies preventing long term effects, besides for protective and sun glasses there is not much you can do.

i agree with you that socio-economic class (propertied vs. non-propertied) is the most important 'outermost' layer of any critique of the existing capitalist power relations, yet help me understand your thinking here:

> To me though, highlighting race also reinforces stereotypes.

what's the alternative? so called 'color-blindness'? [1] what stereotypes are reenforced by mentioning race/ethnicity when discussing relations of power? right now it sounds like you're trying to refute structural racism.

> We americans like to pretend that class differences don’t exist when clearly they do.

i agree with you that class consciousness is low, yet both critiques/angles can exist/meet/intersect. that's what intersectionality is for.

[1] an example of where this leads: "[...] the organization was informed by a form of “colorblind” Marxism that was incapable of dealing with the realities of racial divisions in the class structure of the United States. While more progressive on issues of race than other political parties in the United States, the WPUS/SLP ultimately failed to make a connection with the black working class, a grouping in society that had shown itself to have enormous revolutionary potential in the period of Reconstruction. While standing for class unity and recognizing the need for inter-racial organization, the WPUS/SLP ideology under closer scrutiny reveals an inability to recognize that black workers in the United States faced a form of oppression that was unique to their racial status, with white supremacy acting as a key linchpin in the class structure of US capitalism. This “color-blind” socialism was ultimately incapable of resonating with black workers. It also falsely expected the proletariat to organically unite under economic pressures as it grew as a class, responding to immiseration and crisis in an almost automatic way. This was a vision that was incapable of taking into account the role of white supremacy in dividing the US working class to develop a strategy that could effectively win the most oppressed sections of the proletariat to socialist politics."

>but a proper analysis will divide the issue between now and 5 years from now and come up with requirements that fill the gaps

The issue with the Waterfall model is that this approach doesn't work. Aiming for "now" means you come out with an outdated product in the future. Aiming for "5 years from now" means speculating on what users will eventually want, which is very error-prone. Trying to adjust course midway through is a nightmare - and completely defeats the point of trying to get requirements "right" the first time.

>You can of course empirically interact, by wearing the user hat.

This is not empirical: it does not involve observation or measurement of the real world. Speculating about user behaviour is no substitute for concrete data about how users actually behave.
I would have taken it seriously before the "obsolete" bit gave it away as satire.

Which is sad, because some of that stuff indeed has potential and should be used more (IPFS), but it cannot happen unless people take it seriously.

> Maybe I'm just old and curmudgeonly, but it feels like ui design has become a cess pit of ever changing ideas.

Taking away users' skills is objectively bad.

Up until the web, most UI elements were organized hierarchically, written in native language, had keyboard short cuts, and were searchable with help, themable yet standardized. Those things were called drop-down and context menus! The structure and options could literally be described in just a couple kilobytes of data, and most programs followed guidelines so they were deltas of each other. Now the whole thing is a multi-megabyte shitshown that's a vortex of confusion and rests upon a layout/rendering engine that few people on Earth understand. Every GUI is different, and they all suck. We're in the era of user "experience"--horseshit! It used to be called user interface (because you know, hey, users actually interact with the dang thing). I wish UI designers would go back to boring things that are usable. I don't want to live in a multi-media Luis Vuitton commercial FFS.
He meant furries. It's a little known fact that before the internal combustion engine, furryism was much more popular due to the greater availability of horsehair for costumes.

> Luddism never works - you can't eliminate automation and do things less efficiently just to arbitrarily provide work for people.

This isn't just about automation. It's also about vertical integration into one company. If all we care about is efficiency then why break up the railroad barons or company towns?

Because competition, despite some inefficiencies, makes for a more robust market. Also, we don't want our kids working in the mines.
Definitely a blacksmith in almost every city, but probably fewer blacksmiths per city than the other jobs. Metal tools are built to last, and are expensive, so it was probably often a low volume high cost kind of business where production could be covered by a minimal number of smiths.

Except that plenty of people already decided they don't want to vaccinate, so why not to ask them to participate? Of course a double-blind study would be unethical.

> once you have an effective treatment, placebo controlled trials become unethical

But this is a vaccine, not a treatment. And given the scale of vaccination, wouldn't it make sense to have a control group for analyzing long-term effects? Yes, I heard many times that long-term effects are "unlikely," but the tiny possibility becomes significant at scale.

> That might looks suspicious sure, but there may be other factors (not reflected in the book) influencing a change of desire on my part

I think your example would easily satisfy regulators. But you have to have the logging with real time stamps to prove it or you need to be able to reconstruct the internal state by replaying the market data against that version of the code.

Same goes for other pairs trades or other non-book signals. For any automated trading on regulated exchanges, you need to be able to explain to regulators why you chose to send an order. Otherwise you’re basically admitting that you don’t understand / have control over your algorithm, which they will obviously object to.

> I've never come across a strategy that responds to volume changes far from the BBO.

I agree it’s unlikely that a deep quote will provoke an immediate action. But sustained changes in the book will over time get aggregated into moving averages etc and influence behaviors in the long term (for whatever timescale may be appropriate).

> Quantity change far away from the action is mostly noise.

I agree that individual quotes are noisy, and it’s hard to extract signal from the noise. A limit order book by definition is supposed to quantify an aggregated demand to buy/sell, and thus it should be meaningful to aggregate over it to construct a distribution. Spoofing distorts that.

No one gets investigated for spoofing for sending a single order. It’s a persistent pattern that stands out from the noise.

> Adherence to a cargo-cult is a function of laziness, not competence.

Why doesn't this claim apply to Waterfall?
Okay, so you actually can pick out the issue. You just don't mind being manipulated by corporations. Fine, but strange that the angle you took was "aw shucks geez guys I'm so confused about all this".
Not that I'm agreeing with them, but many companies are wary of sharing their code because it opens up a path to replicate their services without paying for them. Vendors that distribute devices with Linux, though, are able to avoid that because the hardware is often still proprietary. Binary blobs still exist despite the Linux GPL license too. Even in projects that seem lauded by the "open source" community, like the Rpi.

I just don't think Linux is a great example to explain to a company why they should be fine with licensing their software under the GPL. It's not a good direct comparison in most cases.
