> Vanced is discontinued for "legal reasons" as vanced was infringing the logo and branding of the original YouTube app as the logo resembles the original logo in a similar way and was used without taking prior permission from Google for using the branding

So if this is the actual reason, shutting down completely seems a bit of an overreaction. Why not just get a new logo and rebrand the app ?

In general I'm starting to think that we should be worried with many of these "free" or VC funded services if there is a big market correction any time soon. It might be viable model currently, but clearly not forever... And I hope the legislation wisens up for next round. Clearly many markets just aren't healthy.

In a heating dominated climate, heat pumps have been slower to catch on due to declining efficiency and performance exactly when the heat loss of the building is the highest. (The same effect happens to an extent in heating dominated climates, but it's more rare to have 72 straight hours of outside air temp 20°C hotter than desired inside than it is to have 72 straight hours of outside air temp 20°C colder than desired inside. Even when those conditions exist, having the inside noticeably cooler and drier than outside is still relatively comfortable, while having an inside temp of 15°C is somewhat more uncomfortable.)
Since heat pumps will likely be bidirectional, this will have the side effect of making air conditioning (or rather in general, active cooling) available to populations that didn't have access before.

Whereas they didn't have a choice previously, they'll now have the choice between using energy and sweating, which will likely increase energy usage in summer. OTOH, sunny days will likely have plenty of energy available due to solar, and it will avoid inefficient workarounds like mono units (air conditioners where the hot side is cooled with room air that is then exhausted through a hose typically stuck through a poorly sealed window - it's as inefficient and annoying as it sounds, but often the best you can do in a rented apartment in Europe).
I stand with you.
You're right, there is a middle ground. Law enforcement can request a warrant from a judge and demonstrate probable cause to search the machine they believe is harboring CSAM. Any attempt to bypass this process is totalitarianism.
I said “dressing and dragging”—my wife’s grandpa would field dress the deer and bring it back home. Her grandma knew how to dress the deer, which doesn’t require much upper body strength. But she wasn’t the one who was dragging it back to the truck and loading it on. To my knowledge Native American women weren’t doing that either.

> I assume this makes Resolution way to complex

I can’t speak to Yarn’s motivation, but I suspect for most Yarn users it’s not dissimilar to my own: pinning exact versions of transitive dependencies can be a big source of “audit fatigue” with NPM. It’s fine that authors wish to limit the surface area of version ranges they support, but for downstream users this can often mean being essentially held hostage with potential exposure to vulnerabilities and no reasonable alternative.

Yarn should, like NPM, default to honoring all pinned dependencies. Both now have facilities to override those defaults (resolutions/overrides respectively), which is important. But there should also be a more gentle middle ground of “yes I want to assume this library meant to use semver, I understand I’m slightly relaxing the contract in the lockfile” in the form of a CLI flag… rather than manually writing potentially hundreds of lines of JSON.

> Or consider reducing your dependencies.

I mean, that sounds nice in theory. But the whole number of dependencies thing is a systemic design problem more than anything. No one is installing 1000s of dependencies. They’re installing ~5-10 and getting 1000s.
Installing a ground loop is a _significant_ expense, oftentimes well beyond the reservation price for residential buyers.
I recently went through the same process for a director of engineering position and it was OK up to the point where a VP thought that asking me low-level detail questions specific to his particular project which I had zero knowledge of was the appropriate way of assessing the potential of a candidate applying for a position spanning the company's entire product portfolio; needless to say, I didn't do that great. The peer-review stage is a tricky one because if a single person on one of the 12-ish interviews doesn't like you then that's the end of it, and you might have the luck of running into some uninspiring automaton with a military background like I did.

Indeed. IIRC, there were quite a few issues with his testimony obfuscating things. But he was pretty blunt about the business model. I thought the point of the clip was how out of touch the Senator asking was.
Very much so. A (in)famous authoritarian government prosecuted (successfully) a citizen of the country (while he was overseas in both instances) for publishing a private post on his Facebook (which was critical of the government).

The fleets they were able to build in large quantities due to the places they had colonized providing long pine, cotton, and other materials they did not have at home?

"Local market value" - you mean under market value, because they were pressured or outright forced to by their colonizers?

Bengal was one of the richest places in the world, with community owned and driven cotton farming providing wealth for a huge chunk of the population. Then, this "fair trade" with Britain somehow reduced them to poverty and starvation.

Basically everywhere that Europeans colonized that already had wealth, commercial production, etc., saw all that wealth extracted from them, their standards of living drop precipitously, and just general widespread exploitation. Places they colonized that had raw materials, but did not have the same level of wealth or production of goods (Generally because environmental factors, such as lack of navigable waterways or large quantities of arable land, etc.) might have seen this pick up and gained glimpses of new technologies, but again were exploited by the Europeans to extract this wealth from them, and again at rates that would have been well below what would have been natural levels of value if they were to produce and trade things under different circumstances.

The reality of the situation is that colonization is exploitative and has a track record of being universally a Bad Thing for the people being colonized. Over history colonization and conquering is hardly a uniquely European thing, but Europe was ascendant in what ended up being a window of opportunity, with the acceleration of scientific and technological progress allowing them colonize more disparate locations, capitalize on this trade, and ultimately create what is the modern world order. This isn't the first time that that story has played out, however, and I doubt it will be the last.

You don't have to take my word for it. There are studies to support that property crime goes severely under-reported[1]. Also, people are drastically less likely to report crime when it is obviously nothing will happen and it cost more than the value of whatever was taken. Walmart loses millions on theft every year, they could stop it but stopping it would cost more than doing nothing.

> This is basically a non-problem because of the supply/demand mechanics of the labor market.

You’ll have to back-up that assertion.

Supply/demand mechanisms fail the labor market badly. By law of supply and demand, professions introduce artificial scarcity to boost their income; and the market responds either through some
combination of: Immigration, automation, consolidation (less businesses), cut-corners

Farming has aspects of all three, and it’s a major

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_(economics)#Job-mar... for the model behind my comment.

You’re a hiring manager choosing between Alice and Bob. Alice has a degree, Bob doesn’t; you estimate they’ll be equally productive, and it’s common knowledge that your competitors will judge them the same. Do you offer Bob less, since he doesn’t have student loans to pay off? You can if you like, but then Bob will go work for your competitor.

>In your experience, perhaps, but it's exceptionally dishonest, and frankly hateful, to say that describes "most Christians."

It isn't hate, it is experience, and it's something a lot of Christians would admit about themselves. Even the Bible says most followers of God are hypocrites who fall short of their own principles.

I'm not getting into a religious argument here, but you shouldn't talk about giving your opponents an easy target. Christianity is one hell of a glass house to live in. Maybe instead of attacking me, you should consider why so many Christians believe so deeply and fervently in a man of such excremental moral character like Donald Trump. You can't simply dismiss the question by claiming none of them are real Christians. Take the plank out of your own eye before pointing out the speck in someone else's, as the man said.

We’ve had a few years now of this escalating behavior in San Francisco. It would seem logical that voters would blame their elected representatives, and vote them out, but they haven’t.

Would destroying the support infrastructure for these plants be any safer? My understanding is that almost all (if not all) nuclear power stations presently in operation need active cooling even after the reactor is shutdown. If that cooling infrastructure is disrupted then that could be just as disastrous as if the reactor core itself was targeted.

Lots of games from the early 2000s still run as-is on Windows 10/11, and many games have updated versions on Steam or gog.com as well.

When the air-source heat pump is coupled to a good size PV array, the attractiveness equation starts to look a little different. You are never going to generate your own gas; even if you can't generate all the electricity you need for heating, you can generate a notable chunk of it (and banking summer-time excess generation can reduce your heating bills to close to zero).
I think the reason for the semantics comes from the assertion that increasing the money supply always correlates (usually argued as causes) price increases. In one of your quotes "inexorable consequence".

Are there examples of people talking about money supply inflation where they aren't bringing up price at all?

I mean, the argument that I'm making is that nobody cares at all about money supply in itself, they only care about the consequences. So, it makes sense that the language evolved to focus on the actual issue that matters.

The assertion that the connotation is "utterly confusing and misleading" seems quite hyperbolic. And the assertions about "inexorable consequence" and so on are similarly extreme in their overconfidence.

At any rate, given that price index and such is very clearly the case now (as in the government link I posted earlier), I will stick to my assertion that today it does mean price increases. But I am willing to qualify that and acknowledge that it's not a universal or historically consistent meaning.
When you say "substituting a different definition of consciousness", exactly what definition of consciousness was there in the first place such that one could usurp that throne?

What exactly is "subjective experience" and "qualia". For a moment lets go with the banal wikipedia example: "The 'redness' of red is a commonly used example of a quale" (followed by a graphic that is entirely just red pixels). When I take a picture with my phone, does the phone not experience "redness"? If so then consciousness and machine consciousness are trivial and we are done. If not then the "quale" of redness must involve some sort of processing which happens along the path from the eye to wherever-the-train-of-thought-lives. So suppose I write an app such that when I point my phone at something it either prints the words "that's red" or "that's not red". Is my phone experiencing the quale of red yet? How sophisticated must the processing get before my phone has subjective experience?

Thus we arrive at my real gripe and why I'm inclined to agree with Dennet. The entirety of the conversation around "subjective experience" and "qualia" seems to be a word game designed to rig the definition of consciousness so that machines can't have it. We could get all the way to a Turing-test-passing AI having this very conversation with you, and some people would still reject my consciousness and call me "a p-zombie without real qualia or subjective experience". It comes off as being in denial about materialism out of an egotistical need to believe ones consciousness is somehow better than computation, and that ones atoms are somehow more special than the atoms in my phone.

Give a definition of qualia/subjective experience which isn't just "cognitive synthesis of sensory input" and also isn't contorted such that only humans could have it.
The article said that it's not the generation and write back of the overflow bits that are the problem, this is basically free, it's the shared state that a status register represents that is the problem. Every single arithmetical/logical operation writes to it, out-of-order execution is already headache-inducing as it is without an implicit argument to most instructions.
Sorta like saying house with solar panels is over 100% efficient, technically true when measured against grid input. A air source heat pump is a solar assisted heating device pulling thermal energy from outside air (which is heated by the sun) into your home using electricity to gather it and move it inside. Heats pumps combined with solar panels is a a great combo BTW.

Efficiency is always measured relative to something and cannot be over 100% in a closed system, heat pumps are not a closed system so no laws of physics are broken.
> You are confusing Communism in Western Europe with the communist state of the USSR and its Stalinist doctrine of socialism in one country

They really aren't. The Communists fighting in the Spanish Civil War -- the ones who put their boot down on Orwell's beloved POUM and other Trotskyists -- were honest-to-god Soviets.

But yes, more democratic "Communist" parties did exist in Western Europe later, and there is a large space of "third way" Socialisms and Communisms that are not Stalinist hell.
There are at least two problems with proprietary file formats.

First is the app lock-in, which perhaps hasn’t bitten you but not everyone is so fortunate, especially in a scenario the article describes, corporate environments where you can’t install arbitrary software onto the machine you use.

The other problem is corruption. I haven’t experienced this in a few years, but it’s certainly not unheard-of for a binary data file to experience corruption; often the only way to recover it is to perform surgery on it, which not everyone will have the tools and skills to do.

Plain text files are much safer in that regard.
> In any case a heat pump is the cheapest way to heat a building.

That very much depends on the cost of your electricity and fuel. In MA, where I pay about $0.20/kWh and around $1.60/therm (both delivered), natural gas is around 2/3rds the cost of a heat pump in the coldest months (and loses only slightly in the shoulder months, when the heat pump is more efficient but you don’t have as much heat loss).
It’s a get-rich-quick scheme, not a get-rich-by-putting-in-a-little-bit-of-work-when-presented-with-adversity scheme.
You have cause and effect backwards. Historically 'trafficking' meant human trafficking for the purposes of prostitution.
