If you think that's bad, imagine a whole year of missing the entire "good" music promotion wave on TikTok because they were automatically muting every video I posted of my own music (without any explanation or POC) due to applying vague copyright rules against me... Now TikTok is flooded and promo capability is very weak. I decided to just develop my own site further though, and it's automatically targeted to people who like my music without me having to figure out which hashtags are trending every day at least...

The best way I've found to spur YouTube into action though is to @ their account on Twitter... It works for now.
Not much and I think we'll see more of this for the reasons you mention. You can just "rent" a place somewhere or buy a trailer and claim that as your official home and then just live in another country. Latin America is ideal for this for Americans because of the timezones as well.

Though of course it depends on the country, your goals and ideas, etc.
Building a high-rise condominium downtown will always be more costly and expensive than a plot of single-family homes in the 'burbs. Car travel is only getting cheaper in the suburbs with solar and EVs, while subways and trolleys are getting more and more expensive to build in big cities.
This is trolling. You don't compare pictures (pixel level?) to describe similarities between places.

Whether I will or not is an entirely different question!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...

'Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older.[1][2] It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.'.
Ah yeah, it's different now. All federal loans are now through the Federal Direct Student Loan Program. The loans are issued by the Department of Education and there aren't any banks involved.

There used to be some other programs in which the government backed privately issued loans; that must be what you had.
That it seems nobody wants to sell you anything anymore. Now, they want to rent you things. A car? TV? Fridge? A BBQ grill?...Everything has to be connected. Everything has to be "smart". Which means you have to open an account online and click ok on the "Terms and Conditions" page before you can use the thing you supposedly bought. You can't even fix it yourself if it breaks. And while you're using it, they collect data on every microsecond of use to sell to third parties.
> Googlers are smart people,

They are probably highly skilled in the things they are selected for skill in. “Smart”, even when it is really high general IQ, doesn't translate to universal proficiency without dedicating time and effort to particular domains.

> how can they believe in something this plain wrong?

Strong selective pressure: people who don't have beliefs that fit with the current Google context and bureaucracy are less likely to be selected by, or select to work for, Google and, even if they are, are more likely to be selected out, or voluntarily depart.

if you ever worked at the bottom of a supply chain you would understand that there are currently major issues with gatekeepers levying high margins (note I grew up on a industrial farm). If a farmer could sell his product under a smart contract that garantueed a percentage of the transaction costs flowed back to him and end consumers would have greater transparency into the origin of its product their would be a nett societal benefit. Minig farms blablabla, you can use other proofs for verification (proof of stake) or scale it with zero knowledge proofs

The person who accumulated $1M (above real estate equity) likely did so by having a larger than median income over their working life (and likely has an associated higher expense profile).

For me, I think a 4% safe-withdraw-rate feels about right. Some argue for 3.5%. Others for 5 or 6%. Each of those has an impact on the cashflow in retirement, but $1M is probably not going to provide a replacement income for the typical folks who accumulated $1M. (Median household income in my state is $87K/yr before taxes.)

Holy Shit! That's a fantastic name. Are you punk rock?

But I agree that is a very dangerous name in the time of algorithm controlled moderation.

This is more true as a mental model/to the type system, but slightly more complicated when compiled.

First, there’s the “new JSX transform”, which involves auto-imports, has a different function signature, and defines fallback behavior for certain circumstances.

Second, JSX is only specified as a syntax extension. Some implementations—like SolidJS and its underlying dom-expressions compiler—don’t compile to hyperscript at all.
Self quote: this is not how most apps are written.
At least for me, still way way cheaper than the coasts so no plans on leaving yet.
With a tiny bit of creativity in your queries you can find the channels that skirt the spirit of the rule without breaking it. Both the algorithms and the overworked humans behind the moderation just let it stand.

Then there’s channels that do everything from outright stealing content to adding a voiceover to get around copyright, playing the real video in a frame surrounded with other content and on and on.

I don’t think I have a particular knack for it but I see way too many of these channels every single time I open YouTube. They’re all perfectly fine.

AND that’s what is extremely annoying. If the rules are applied by a bit but in a consistent way and mercilessly, people will either not break the rules by being aware or they’ll switch to something else where their stuff is not banned.
C++ can do something something like this (at compile time) in its -> operator (ancient feature, long before C++98 was standardized).

obj->foo()

will expand into enough -> dereferences until a foo is found. For instance suppose the object returned by obj's operator ->() function doesn't have a foo member, but itself overloads ->. Then that overload will be used, and so on.

I've not heard whether or not this factory had any shelter or not. If not, then IMO they should hang the owners in public and then get busy making sure nobody else has to suffer this lack of neglect.

However, it's tough to have a shelter-in-place that covers every eventuality. We have a large warehouse with about 100 people, and it's in "Tornado alley". Our shelter only covers to ~175mph winds, and to go higher that that was alarmingly expensive. Whether we like it or not, there is always a cost/benefit calculation on things like this.
>Malice hat...Incompetence hat

How can you tell them apart? ;) Jokes aside, I'd like to add another hat, which is "ambivalence hat", which says: This person's pain is not all that important. The (very mild) harm it does to YT's reputation can be safely ignored. Ambivalence hat synergizes with "ignorance hat" which is the one that says, "Gosh, I'd like to help but I just don't know what to do."

(A person wearing both ambivalent AND ignorant hats is a good approximation of the population at any given time about any given topic, btw.)
I think Apple Maps also leveled up recently in terms of adaptive map projections. It used to be that to get a perspective projection of Earth that you can spin you would have to (1) start off zoomed in, (2) switch from 2D to 3D, and then (3) zoom out — my guess is they disabled switching between 2D and 3D while zoomed out to avoid trickier transitions between projections. With the latest version of Apple Maps you can get the spinnable Earth by simply zooming out, regardless of initial state, and the projection will adapt automatically.
It’s definitely in use by Meta and Google.

That's why. Dumb article, do people think tornadoes are the same thing as hurricanes or something?
Everyone is citing the "2.5 hours of warning" - if I was in the middle of working a 12-hour shift, I would just stay put.

Leaving the building to race home is probably the most dangerous thing you can do.

> Figma continues to be the standard across my org overtaking Sketch a little over a year ago

Same experience here. I prefer Sketch, but Figma has won out. My only guess for why Figma has won is because they handle prototyping a lot better than Sketch. The performance (and the fact that it's a browser) makes it barely usable for me, but I don't know any team that doesn't use Figma.
>every type of ethnic food you can imagine

I know it's hard to believe, but the only difference between a major metropolis and bum-fuck nowhere is the lack of ethnic food, and less stressful traffic.

Almost all modern-niceties have been commodified to even the outer regions of the hills.
All the comments on the chronicle article are surprisingly negative toward them. I've been a huge fan of parklets -- they make the city feel much more vibrant and alive.
Homicides I tend to discount because homicide victims aren't randomly selected. Anyway this is right in line with what I just said; saying that a rapidly-growing metro exceeded a nominal crime stat from 26 years ago is not that meaningful.

Robberies are something I do watch because the victims are pretty much random.

I hope tons of web developers see this project and take note. How much more enjoyable could the web be if it moved in this direction, cutting out the bloat in favor of dense, useful content.

I also find the whole site a trove of well-researched information and well-argued points of view on sustainability. Truly refreshing to find something that does the math instead of regurgitating the latest hype and buzzwords.

One thing I come away with, and have realized more and more lately, is just how much we are getting in our own way and preventing ourselves from getting on a sustainable path, continuously chasing "innovation" when so much of the technology we'd need has been around for a long time. I'm not too optimistic we can break our growth addiction before things get (much more) ugly.

IMO it all came about because Apple is always trying to reduce it's Bill-Of-Materials. Either by squeezing suppliers and/or vertically integrating. The trouble is they couldn't squeeze Qualcomm by juggling suppliers so they started frivolous lawsuits and Qualcomm counter-sued alleging patent infringement. Apple eventually settled with Qualcomm and paid billions.

Apple alleged that it was being charged 4x other suppliers for access to Qualcomm modems. What came out during all the trials was that Apple wanted privileged access to next generation Qualcomm IP without making purchase commitments. Qualcomm's business model is to charge you for access to the IP and then to give it back as rebates on future purchases of chips. This ensured that you don't take the IP and run without buying chips, which is what Apple was basically trying to do.

Qualcomm counter-sued Apple and alleged they violated an MSA by providing privileged info to Intel who they were using as their second supplier to try and squeeze Qualcomm. The lawsuit alleged they provided Intel with Qualcomm IP to improve their Infineon purchased modems that were not performing well.

Apple however is playing 4D chess. It's known that they've been developing their own Modems for a long time. I suspect their whole lawsuit barrage against Qualcomm was an attempt to either invalidate patents or force Qualcomm to license patents out individually.

Intel had bought Infineon in the hopes of supplying both CPUs and Modems to Apple, but they couldn't make the modems perform and Apple dropped them which decimated their modem business. What Intel didn't know was Apple had been secretly developing the M1 to dump Intel entirely. The Apple purchase of Intel's modem business makes more sense as an IP grab to build out a war chest of Patents against Qualcomm because it happened around the time all their lawsuits with Qualcomm were finishing up and they basically lost.

Often times patents are used as a war chest to dissuade patent litigation from competitors or to get favorable cross licensing agreements. Up until Apple purchased the Intel/Infineon modem business, they likely didn't have those patents to defend against a Qualcomm lawsuit if they launched their own modem. You saw something similar happen when Apple and Microsoft purchased Nortel's patent portfolio 2 decades ago.
Startup Pitched “Wall of Drones” That Could Tase Migrants
In LA, 20% of our homeless population last year came from out of state and another 2% from out of country. See slide 24 at [1]. People like to downplay this as “only 20%” which is ridiculous. 20% is a huge portion. As always, though, lack of affordable housing and true social safety nets are the biggest drivers by far.

Most consumer vacuum cleaners aren't really repairable any more. They're used for a few years until one of the plastic parts breaks, then discarded and replaced. Even if parts are available the repair service labor is too expensive.
I have family in Nashville, friends in Austin, and former co-workers in Toledo and Columbus. They've all experienced the great migration from California, and they all feel very negatively about it.

I live in Houston, TX now (and grew up here), and couldn't tell you whether we have any Californians here since we've always been a super diverse city.
Many retirement calculators assume post-retirement montly outflow of ~70% of pre-retirement amount. I don't know if this holds true for very high income families, but whenever I run various scenarios, I leave it.

I also assume many people won't have paid-off homes, so they're stuck paying rent or mortgage. Cars aren't cheap to keep running. Medical expenses are insane in the US.

For folks saying you can't really predict tornadoes, I grew up in the Midwest so I hear what you're saying, but this was different. I look at weather every day in an operational context and I can tell you that everyone who knows anything about weather saw this coming days beforehand. The low that produced these storms was a monster--one of the biggest, if not the biggest, I've ever seen that wasn't a hurricane. The cold front stretched all the way from Canada to the southern tip of Mexico. But aside from its strength, its behavior was basically textbook, and it had been marching across the US all week. There were headlines the day before about tornadoes coming. So this wasn't a surprise.
There's the approach of showing up in person to voice displeasure. Even if it's not an avenue you plan on taking, it's sufficiently viable that Alphabet / Google / YouTube should include it in their threat model.

I'd strongly recommend taking steps to remove yourself from the platform, voting with your feet. You're cetainly not strongly wedded, as major YouTube creators are, many of whom have been taking steps to establish themselves more independently of that one platform and its advertising revenue, through direct donations (generally through Patreon, which I'd put fair money on one of the monopolists buying out at some point, possibly to shut down). What I'd strongly suggest is trialing peer-to-peer video-sharing technologies such as PeerTube.

Note that the independent route may also be subject to copyright claims (will your Internet provider cut you off?), harassment, and/or cracking attempts. YouTube does actually protect you a gainst a fair amount of that. You'll also want to find out what CDN options are available for that video that makes you Internet Famous for a day.

I'd strongly urge you to file complaints with your political representatives and consumer-protection agencies. This would include local (city/county), state, and national representatives, as well as your state's attorney (usually, there may be another consumer protection agency), and national communications and trade agencies (in the US: FCC and FTC). This step combined with seeking out and promoting alternatives is our best way out of the present monopoly hell.

I'd specifically request:

- Appeals processes for account bans.

- Full reports on why invalid bans were imposed.

There's a long list of other reforms people who've spent more time than me on this have come up with. Look up Cory Doctorow, Tim Wu, Tristan Harris, the EFF, and others who are advocating for reforms.

I’m not trying to put you into a penalty box just trying to say that it’s easy to make assumptions about “those other people” who aren’t getting vaxxed, which are often oversimplified assumptions that are wrong. Many uneducated people are not to blame for their lack of education.

Personally, since you want to make ad hominem allusions to my mindset, I will clarify that I’m not anti-vaxx. I took the vaxx despite being very low risk. I believed in the goal of herd immunity. And I was labeled a conspiracy theorist early on for saying a pandemic was coming and that there was likely undetected spread, despite WHO insistence to the contrary. I was labeled a conspiracy theorist for saying masks might be helpful when the cdc said otherwise. When I said a lab leak was plausible I was called a conspiracy theorist. At this point I would be embarrassed to be anything but.
> I see it as just sad and pathetic when city dwellers can't even do basic home maintenance like replacing a faucet cartridge or toilet seal.

That seems rather harsh. A big reason why "city dwellers" can't do home maintenance is because cities have more renters then owners. When you rent a property, you're strongly encouraged to offload all home maintenance onto your landlord. Not only is the landlord obligated to cover maintenance costs, but they can withhold a deposit (or even outright fine) for any damages done if maintenance is done incorrectly.
Hopefully these won’t be boondoggles like the launch of healthcare.gov

Shanty’s are shanty. If the city is going to cede spaces permanently, pave the parking spaces and move the curb out. Retailers buy umbrellas for tables and lease space.

I wish there was a shazam service for Google... People that hijack music should not be allowed to profit from doing so at the original artist's expense, and YT is liable for letting that happen. There will probably be a class action suit in a few years where Lawyers will likely collect all the settlement money, and then justice won't be served. This is America.
> disdain for suburbs is quite tacky and out of touch

Have you yourself been a child growing up in places of different density? I personally did (my time spent mostly in one of the nicest suburbs in southern California, but alternating for a couple months every year with a walkable small Mexican city), and then since then have been in cities (where my small kids are now growing up).

Are you sure I am the “out of touch” one here? Have you ever tried living with kids in a 2-bedroom apartment? It’s really not a big deal (though note, there are also plenty of larger apartments/condos and single-family houses in cities, and plenty of cities around the world without outrageous housing prices). In the city you might not play in your yard, but you can play at the nearby playground or park with the many neighborhood kids.
