"Some experts say you are American middle class if you made between $51,200 to $153,000 in 2020."

what was the middle class income in the year that Bezos got the money?

I guess it seems reasonable to say though that actual median middle class is around 100,000 so the parent poster's question remains, where are they going to get the money. Well probably take a loan on the house for their son's crazy new-fangled internet scheme I guess, that seems unlikely.
Thanks. That was terrifying.

My very point is that it is a partisan policy and a hypocrisy. If pointing that it is a partisan policy is partisan and therefore cannot be said, we are exactly in the same sort of circular "you can't express that opinion" policies than on YT.
I keep reading and reading your comment and cannot shake the sadness. If you have any requests for me to do to help, I will take them. I'm reading the news and unsure what to do to stop this madness.
NATO expansion was a natural next step after USSR dissolution. Which, according to Putin, was the biggest catastrophy of 20th century.
My point is not too hard to understand, stay with me here. I don’t live in China, therefore not subject to their laws. GitHub is not a China company, therefore not subject to their laws when serving non China users. I’m taking a stand to ensure that my rights are not trampled on by an irrelevant but dangerous dictatorship, therefore I am asking if anyone has knowledge of alternatives to GitHub, who seem to have some obligation to China.
I think it's interesting. I've tried on my roomate's VR headset a few times and thought it was pretty incredible, but like him haven't really put it on more than once or twice.

I'm starting to think maybe the reason is because it's too realistic. People want to play video games and browse the internet because it's in a sweet spot of comforting and mind-numbing, to the extent they can just sit and do that all day. VR doesn't quite hit that spot I don't think.

If a kid had a full paintball course in his backyard with players on standby, and could play anytime he wanted, do you think he would do that or play COD on ps5 more? Honestly I think COD.

That does not seem clear to me, surely it could continue existing within Russia only? They mention a rumor that business ownership may transfer due to sanctions, I think this is an instance where it would apply. Instead of liquidating the main IT business in the country the government may force it to fail to meet its international obligations.
“… if you serve EU nationals”.
Agreed. I am not a China national. Nonsense, yes?
Honestly, we are so far into what was considered dystopian in the past century, I don’t know if that even make sense to still use that type of categorization.

But to actually answer your comment:

1. A company removing proven disinformation is quite far from what censorship is. Also not really something that would be considered dystopian.

2. I would disagree that Orwell work is about “censorship is bad”. His work is IMHO more about exploring risks caused by attempt to do population surveillance and control. Spreading lies and falsehood consistently to destroy any understanding of an actual situation, the way Trump does by lying about election fraud, is way closer to the Orwellian nightmare than YouTube removing that content.

This is something I have read people do. Napkin mathematics they call it. Richard Hamming has a chapter in the book The Art of Doing Science and Engineering.

I want to learn it. This helps a lot in guessing what the results should be before we go on proving/deriving it. A hunch. A spidey sense.

I like it.
The Maghreb seems to be often understood as a kind of extension of the Middle East. Which makes some sense, because it is ethnically, culturally and historically a very different region from the rest of Africa.
Thanks for mentioning.

Can confirm, ransomware devs excluding Russian machines to not get in trouble
Yeah they could create a video platform, but until it gained the prominence of YouTube it would be just a niche hosting platform. I'm putting forward a view that YouTube has a status so powerful in global society that it should be held at a higher standard.

But regarding your question, I actually think that there's a serious dysfunction here in the way Fox News can legally spread lies that are very damaging to society with little to no legal consequence. They even alleged in a slander case that the Tucker Carlson show is actually just entertainment, and reasonable people can't expect it to be truthful - even though millions of people get their news primarily from Fox News, including Carlson talk shows, fully believing they are telling the truth.

And I see that YouTube is cracking down on a lot of the same misinformation that Fox News propagates (and sometimes, worse stuff), but my point is that this shouldn't be up to Google to decide what political talking points are or aren't allowed. YouTube functions as a public space in our daily lives, we express ourselves there, I don't think it's good for society for a single company decide this policy unilaterally.

On the other hand, it's good that platforms offer some kind of curation and differentiate themselves based on that. There are YouTube alternatives like Lbry in which practically everything is allowed, and I think both models are necessary.
You realize this is YouTube's position right? They're fine with the exact clip The Hill used if it's to criticize those ideas. To oppose YouTube's stance is to argue we shouldn't pair false claims with the evidence that refutes it.
Who wants to give money to a Russian entity nowadays?

Not sure to be honest, you might argue that their headquarter is in Netherlands but remain pretty known to anyone that they operate in Russia.

Not so easy to see. Their CEO must have a big headache these days
It's within an order of magnitude. There were parents with 1000x as much wealth as Bezos's parents, did not produce Bezos.
Ask HN: "Newsbombs" as a way to combat authoritarian propaganda?
Authoritarian regimes control the media and block internet access to unwanted web sites. This prevents citizens from gaining access to at least other viewpoints than the political propaganda. To combat this, would it be possible to go on public transport and open a free WiFi hotspot where people can download, say, Wikipedia and PDFs of the latest headlines of independent news outlets, ideally translated into the local language?
I don't like getting into politics, but I believe the current situation is temporary, either will end up with a major political change in Russia or with a new cold war. Whichever the case for the local economy its like hitting the reset button.
NO! I hate looking in the mirror!
I absolutely hate what’s going on here with YT, but I think I’d rather have a company making bad decisions on its own than having bad decisions mandated by fiat. A law demanding that YT keep particular content up is at least as distasteful as YT taking down content. If we hadn’t as a society cast tech as responsible for disinformation then we wouldn’t be here. We dug this hole, I don’t think we can legislate ourselves out of it.
I think it's mostly because Russia's gdp is only 1.48t usd according to google.

Most of that is natural resources sounds like they have a pretty small consumer economy for a country that huge.

Google says google's annual rev is 256.7b while US gdp is 20.94t.

So is this math correct? Yandex rev as % of gdp 5bb/1.48tt = .337%, google rev as % of gdp 256bb/20.94tt = .855%

I might have guessed even less given how much more tech companies make even between a US consumer and even somewhere like Europe. Fb is $48/15 in one quarter, I couldn't find one quickly for google

Coming from ex-USSR, West's issues are minuscule compared to the ones that Russia brings. I love having petty first world problems compared to what people 100km east from me deals. It's just entirely different leagues of issues.

And reading Western media, it usually downplays Russian issues and present West's much bolder than they truly are.

What would the world do? Block all Russian sites? Russia could do some damage. Their crippled software devs turn to piracy as a profession?

Along with ransomeware it could be a strong source of income in IT.

It's an interesting idea. Not sure it'd work. People would fight it more than blown up buildings of foreigners. It's still hard to pay for it. And they'd have to compete with piracy as well.
> as if it had not been attempted numerous times only to be censored off every hosting/ payment/ app platforms

Was this really something that stopped any of the services?

>or hacked to have all the personal information of their users doxxed because they had "bad opinions."

Come on this is not fair. This was caused by these services choosing to hire low skilled developers. The guy building Parler didn't even understand the proper way to set up his authentication strategy nor did he really understand his database and its advantages/limitations. If anything, this should teach the other side to respect the effort that goes into developing these platforms(this disrespect for the skillset is something I see A LOT among the right wing youtubers I follow). They are so freaking proud to be not one of the "elites" by eschewing the desire for knowledge and a love of learning so much so that it bites them in the ass when they are booted off an existing platform and then realize this tech stuff is so hard.

>Even the ones that actually exist just become hiveminds of their own because they become populated by people who have been censored everywhere else, as if having every community devolve into hive minded safe spaces is actually desirable.

These platforms need to welcome the other side then, the ones doing the censoring.
Please, Don't Lose the Plot
In that case, it is still bad. And it makes for a good cover to actually censor based on political speech. And it is hard to give Google the benefit of the doubt in this regard. But you are probably right.

The key here is that if we consider equivalent good and robust implementations, equivalent capable teams, same UX, etc of an SPA and a traditional full stack MVC application with a modern ajax tool such as livewire, hotwire, etc the latter takes a fraction of the time and cost to build and the result is far less complex and easier to maintain.

I've worked in both kinds of environments, and unless you're building an offline first app, dogma, or Google maps...SPAs make absolutely no sense from the engineering point of view.
> Keep in mind that was $250k in the late early 90s, which is more like $1-2M today

This did not pass the sniff test for me, so I plugged $250k into usinflationcalculator.com, with a year of 1993. It came up with $486k. I think your estimates are off by a factor of 2 to 4.
I went to that McDonalds about 3 months after it opened, it was a well planned family outings. It still is one of my favorite stories that I tell. The line was about an hour long. Once you got within 15 minutes of the doors, there were helpers who helped people who have never been with explanations of what to expect and how to order, and helped one plan an order. I got in and ordered a hamburger and Coke, and I remember being right next to a tall black guy which was still quite exotic there who was also ordering something. Our orders must have gotten crossed because I got cheesburger and clear Coke, which I was really surprised about and I now know was Sprite (and I actually like it more than Coke because of that first taste, even though I don't drink any). The meal was served with real metal cutlery and there were even plates involved that you could put your meal on, and was quite good. The government's allowing McDonalds to open was apparently stipulated on them sourcing their food locally, so the meat was actually meat, and tomatoes on the cheeseburger actually were tasting like something. We took the box that the hamburgers came from home to reuse, it was a sturdy paper box, but the cutlery you had to return. Definitely the best tasting McDonalds meal I ever had. The USA experience when I landed here in 1995 was just completely from another planet.
Even that doesn't quite make sense, because there's 80 ingredients in there, and if you're only ever drinking 3-4 drinks, you probably won't use a large portion of that cartridge.

Right now, you get the cartridge for free but pay basically for what you use. You can think of it as paying for the part of the cartridge you use (the drink), and they recycle the unused ingredients when you send it back to them, refilling it for free.
At the same time US supported right of self determination after WW1. That allowed many small states to pop up in eastern/central europe. Which, IMO, was the last nail in the coffin of several empires.

Using the emergency act was abusive, I would agree. But I don’t believe it was a peaceful protest the way you describe. They were clearly blocking critical infrastructure and hurting the neighborhood.

But I don’t see how that’s related to the discussion about YouTube suspending a channel.

Archive.is is a different service, it’s indispensable but it saves the page for the future, outline.com is/was only making the article more readable by extracting only the text, and it doesn’t save anything offline, it’s also way more fast than archive.is.

Why do you think your new product deserves customer awareness? Why is it so important to impose yourself upon the awareness of others? How is doing that with a goal of acquiring money even slightly morally acceptable?
If it is reasonable to survive on $51,200 then a family on $100k could reasonably be saving the balance $48,800 a year. Say half of that goes to tax because I'm too lazy to look up the tax rate, it'd take 10 years of savings to save up $250k.

So practically speaking, a small syndicate of middle class families (4-5) could reasonably found Amazon. Probably not one alone. Although I echo corndoge in that anyone describing 50-150k as the middle class income range is being polite rather than realistic about what what the class is.

> religious persecution of non-Catholics

There was some of that (especially in lat 1600s), but compared to basically any other country at the time it was significantly better. PLC even had a law that each newly elected king had to sign where he promised not to persecute anybody because of religion or he stops being the king: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Confederation

Majority of magnates (the big nobility that actually decided things by buying other nobles during elections) weren't Catholic in 1500s.

I'll be "that guy" -- this is not a regular expression [1]. A Perl regexp, sure. But backreferences are not part of the grammar of regular expressions, and moreover, using them in that particular manner (to refer to a capture of unbounded length) cannot be encoded as a DFA and therefore does not describe a regular language.

(I have no clue whether unary-representation primality is actually regular or not -- it's been far too long since my automata class to remember how to (dis)prove that -- but I guess it's at least sublinear, since primality is polynomial w/r/t the logarithm of the number being tested.)

What measures does the Russian government take to prevent access to foreign media?
Other than being a "silicon valley drink maker", there's almost nothing alike. Juicero is honestly closer to something like a Nespresso than this. What juicero claimed to do was "press" the fresh juice out of special pods, which just ended up being normal pods that you could press with your hands even.

The promise of this is being able to have hundreds of drink come out of a single small device, not sure how that's anything like buying individual juice pods.
> either will end up with a major political change in Russia or with a new cold war.

Agree for the former, but not with the latter. Though scientific and military advancements by Russia were possible during the cold war, in its current state and with the new sanctions, I don't think Russia will be able to cope with the rest of the world.

IMHO it's more like there will be either a regime change or a new North Korea.
An understandable argument. They could always have closed the News service in protest to the law, that ain't punishable.
Can confirm this is still true, yes.
GDP alone means little to nothing, should be actually compared to the purchase parity power.

I really like that this stores all data in the data warehouse, unlike Monte Carlo.
Ukraine is not neutral. Ukraine oligarchs tried to stay with Russia in 90s and due to that Ukraine missed the opportunity to join NATO when Russia was weak. Now Ukraine is in similar position as central europe in mid-90s. Striving to ally with West. Unfortunately this time Russia is stronger to try to prevent that.

It would be better if that googler or google itself recognized that having lots of automatic switches that destroy businesses, or people's email access or other things with no recourse is unacceptable and worked on that. Google should have an ombudsman or office that deals with these issues. I'm sure there would be lots of fraudulent claims. But there would be lots that were not. Please google let people pay to speak to a human for help when there is a problem.

> So instead off focusing on those changes I have to first fix potential dozens of files for no reason at all.

You don't have to, if you don't want to upgrade to a new major version.

If you do want to upgrade to a major version, which means that there are breaking changes in a package's API or behavior - you sure as hell want to check the correctness of every single line of code written using that package.
Since every file that uses that package must contain an import statement, the import statements are an easily greppable indicator of which files you have to check and potentially fix.
