Even in classical broadcasting in Europe there’s an element outside of the broadcasters control. In the U.K. we have a “watershed” where content gets more adult after 9PM. But kids can watch TV after then and still see adverts for alcohol.

The solution to that is the same as with YT, parents need to accept some responsibility to vet what their kids watch (I say this as a parent myself).

I’m not saying this excuses YT of any responsibility though. Just that this problem has always existed.
I'm not sure that makes much of a difference economically, because you would expect that to become priced in.
> Your solution only reinforces that problem since you’re excluding unpopular content creators.

If you're not even getting a thousand views then it's not going to be a big deal if some of your videos get messed with. Annoying but not important to your life. Just about anyone that would seriously call themselves a content creator, even as a hobby, should be above that bar.

I'm in favor of good moderation for everyone, sure, but I want to hammer home just how easily they could provide good moderation to any video with traction.
This makes me feel financially and geographically very privileged. Where I live, you’re ten minutes walk from two independent bookstores, one floor-to-ceiling second hand bookshop, and about half a dozen charity shops with walls of books. There are various chains a short bus ride away with thousands more and a library we don’t really use (outside of the excellent Libby app). Also, Amazon, which I realise is killing all of the above (sorry).

Sure, there’s a David Walliams section in every chain bookshop, and we own a dozen Julia Donaldson books. But I’m very lucky to have so many options.

I see your point that it’s not random but an exponential increase wouldn’t result from chaotic changes in orbit. That randomizes, making it quadratic.

It looks like inactive geostationary satellites will drift to the same longitudes, and tilt their axis away from the pole. If you have a set of geostationary satellites in that situation, the risk of collision is still quadratic in growth.

The risk is the sum of the pairwise probabilities of collision. So the only way you get super quadratic is if incrementally added satellites have increased pairwise risk with other satellites. It is possible that could be the case, because if you have to pack satellites more tightly, then maybe each satellite has higher pairwise risk with its direct neighbors.

That would still be sub-exponential, unless the collision risk between two satellites got exponentially higher as they get more closely packed. For example, suppose you have a ring of satellites, and you double the number. Then immediately neighboring satellites are twice as close. By basic inequalities you can show that considering the non-neighbor pairs of satellites, they have less than quadrupled the total risk of a collision. So by the master theorem we know the risk of collision would only grow exponentially if there were an exponentially higher risk of collision between two neighboring satellites in terms of the reciprocal of their distance. But that is not the case, is it? You’d expect it to be polynomial. Fewer orbits before the satellite drifts past its neighbor, a smaller expected distance to the neighbor as it drifts past… as with most physics problems these are linear components, multiplied together.

If cost is the issue why is Japan spending so much e.g. estimates of 600 billion USD on cleaning up Fukushima? Rebuilding the entire nuclear power plant fleet of Japan would have been cheaper than a single meltdown.

Oh right, cost is an issue because obsolete nuclear power plants keep giving nuclear a bad name and end up increasing regulatory requirements on modern designs even if they don't have failure modes from 50 years ago. In other words, the nuclear power industry really likes shooting themselves in the foot.

I think "the algorithm" is the only reason Youtube is popular at all. It's also the reason Tiktok became popular. "The algorithm" more than anything else explains both Youtube's popularity for long form content and its failure for short form vertical video content as well as livestreaming. "The algorithm" recommends new videos based on what you previously watched and that depends on creators emulating others and creating content in similar areas. "The algorithm" dictates not only what the viewer can find but also what creators will spend time making and what areas new creators will try out. It's hard to predict what new thing will become popular on Youtube but it is easy to predict when the performance of similar videos is so readily accessible. View count is the first thing anyone reads after the title and creator of a video by design.

I don't understand where you people get your world view from, are you exclusively reading click-bait news headlines and coming to the conclusion that Elon=Bad? How about reading some actual accounts of the early days at SpaceX for example? I can recommend "Liftoff", it's very balanced, focuses mostly on the employees of SpaceX and doesn't try to paint Elon as some kind of heroic figure, but gives credit where it's due. He comes off as a highly technical, maniacal, single-minded founder, inspiring but working his staff to the bones, and sure, also has some darker sides to his personality. It's the kind of personality that's required to pull these things off.

Decisions could also be documented explicitly, explaining the pros and cons of possible solutions to future readers. However, in absense of this, commit logs may contain this information, better than nothing.
But with all the commits kept from development the logs will contain a significant amount of non-interesting information, and make the history hard to read a few years later. And reading the log to find something will get slowed down by explanations that should be in docunents or comments in the code.
I agree with your reasoning, but on this tiny rock we call Albion I'm not convinced that renewables will ever be viable for base load.

I'm concerned about the tonnage requirement of strategic minerals for battery storage. Supplies for EV batteries are currently choked; we need to scale far beyond that for grid storage.

Pumped hydro at the required scale will be a feat of engineering comparable to nuclear engineering. Millions of tonnes of Portland cement will be an input.

And renewables are land-extensive; that's an impedance mismatch for us.
As I said, the problem with nuclear power are all these ragtag powerplants that were hastily built at a time people didn't understand the potential for catastrophic failure. If you get rid of these ancient power plants, the risk of failure goes down dramatically and the need for further regulation disappears. Meanwhile everywhere you keep hearing how e.g. Germany should keep obsolete power plants even though this will ruin the long term reputation of nuclear further.
I suspect the same. My view is that the MiSTer FPGA crowd is very loud in the subreddits and discord channels of the world, but in reality most people using FPGAs in any significant capacity are much more tight lipped about it.
The article unfortunately contradicts itself. If a startup takes 10 years to build, why vest 25% of the shares after just one year? Then, it’s a very cost-effective strategy to leave after a year and let others work for you for the remaining 9 years.

The only way they can do that is at the client level, not the network level. Whether it's running over a VPN or not, your traffic to Google is TLS, so you have an excellent guarantee that it's impossible to snoop on the contents of your HTTP requests at the network level.

However, you are using a Microsoft client and/or a Microsoft OS to do this - and of course, if they want to, Edge or even Windows itself can report on the input and output of any operation you make, regardless of any network security. Similarly, WhatsApp or Signal or iMessage or Android/iOS could send a copy of the plain text of any messages you send or receive to home base despite them being E2E encrypted on the wire. You always have to trust the device and client software you are using to access the internet.

So, if you personally don't trust Microsoft not to snoop on your traffic with Google, using Edge or Windows is completely wrong.
My anecdote is that it works much better than any X Windows setup that I have used, and since around 2011 it is either Citrix or RDP on most of our projects.

If we get projects with customers that will rather hand us low quality Dells with 4 / 8 GB with HDD, to access their infrastructure, I will always advocate for a Citrix or RDP based setup instead, due to how bad those laptops tend to be.

I have a soft spot for these kind of "meaningless" challenges. Personally I'm now trying to figure out how to ride a 100K, but using the least amount of road to do it.

Another one I'm doing is using wandrer.earth to track the amount of unique roads I've traveled (so opposite of 100k challenge). Trying to cover every street in my city.

This was a much better read than I expected from the title.

I wouldn't be too discouraged by the selection of books available in a supermarket. The dynamics are always going to be odd.

Online book shops seem like a boon in this direction generally though. If you're buying a book for a child's gift (which is very very good thing) then picking one up from the supermarket seems the absolute minimum you can do and it's relatively easy to get a better option.

Though even in libraries, I'm kind of amazed by how many books are by celebrities these days. Hillary Clinton has some kind of spy thriller out. I'm assuming there's some fascinating Ghost-writer and/or economics of fame and free publicity back-story to this phenomenon.

Also the mention of colouring books reminded me that I couldn't find a decent, open collection of these when looking recently. It's in a weird area where the branded items are most sought after, which then smothers the market for non-branded equivalent, but I could easily see a Wikipedia like site becoming the standard.

Someone should definately create one and then get those on demand printers to deliver custom ones.

You could make it a subscription which seems vital to any business plan these days.

> The original statement by the blogger, though a bit ambiguous, is technically entirely correct.

Still, it is misleading at best. First, because the entire contention is from open but patent-encumbered software (codecs) rather than outright non-distributable binaries. And second, because I'm assuming these *-bin packages are the exception, rather than the rule (e.g., same as the Gentoo LiveCD contents), so it's malicious to point it as an example of anything.

Gentoo is still (mostly) a source-based distribution, and when you finish the default install, you end up with a system that contains patent-encumbered software and can play/encode H264 out of the box. And render Truetype points, etc. IANAL, but it is dubious that the patent owner would make a difference based on whether the system was distributed as binaries or as "source code + automated build scripts", but apparently that is what the distro decided.

A much better example for the article to use would have been SuSE, which, despite being set in Europe, practically follows Fedora's reluctance to ship patent-encumbered software to the letter. In fact, SuSE has already followed Fedora on the choice to cripple Mesa (which is what triggered TFA).

But even choosing SUSE as an example would (conveniently) leave a big elephant on the room: Ubuntu. While perhaps not in the default install, Ubuntu is literally one click away from giving you access to all kinds of patent-encumbered software (via a prominent checkbox visible on the first dialog of the setup program, not a 3rd party mirror or anything). And as mentioned, even Debian is not as much on the "afraid" side as as Fedora is.

So different distributions do have different interpretations/responses to the same law in the same jurisdiction, making the entire "Law Compliance Cannot Be Voted" argument easily proved wrong. Heck, even the different distros' legal teams often give different advice...

This is interesting. It seems like the general idea is to climb the equivalent of the height of Everest from sea level (8,848m/29,029ft) in one activity with no sleep. Which, according to my understanding, is quite different than actually climbing Everest, which is normally a journey of several days that starts well above sea level.

My family did have a PC when I was a kid in the 90s, but I didn't program on it at all (and IIRC wasn't even aware of what programming was). Mostly fooled around in MS-Paint and played games. I did a tiny amount of programming in later high-school classes and then a lot in university.
> If you're not even getting a thousand views then it's not going to be a big deal if some of your videos get messed with.

I don’t think uploaders would agree with that sentiment.

For starters not every video uploaded is by online personalities. A lot of corporate entities use YT. I’ve been on mental health courses that had material on YT too. These videos aren’t going to receive thousands of videos but the content is just as critical for their operations (arguments about whether they should use YT is another topic).

And you’re still overlooking the injustice that the larger personalities would feel if they have content demonetised or even banned while smaller channels have the same content available.

It’s a nice idea you have but it’s creating an uneven playing field so would have just as many problems as the status quo.

Edit: also let’s not forget that your suggestion is easy to weaponise. If you’re a smaller channel competing with a larger one then you can abuse the moderation system by reporting the other channel. Thus any moderation system has the be universal or else it’s going to be abused.
> having everything squashed into one commit can be annoying if the commit is too large, because it can be hard to identify why a specific change was made via git blame.

Maybe it should be split into individual PRs. If there's dependencies between the changes there's tools to support stacked changes.
