6 million views (a view only requires 30 seconds of watch time, not the full hour) over a period of 14 months, for the most viewed video ever on his channel. If he could draw that for every video, maybe he could come close to competing with Leno. But he can't. I mean, looking at YouTube numbers alone, Leno's show's most viewed video has 34 million views. And of course the vast majority of his viewership and revenue is elsewhere.

Dodd simply couldn't have a network television show with this kind of content. It wouldn't come close to making sense. If he did a network television show it would have to be a lot different, almost certainly in a direction that would make it less interesting for me personally.

My argument has nothing to do with global ad spend, that's a red herring. The key is how those ad dollars get distributed. Targeted advertising makes niche content viable in a way that non-targeted advertising can't match.
It's hard to say. For example, when the new secular Afghan government called the USSR to come "help them" with the local population, the USA and Saudis secretly funded and trained local fighters (Mujahideen) as local resistance, as well as encouraging foreign fighters (Afghan Arabs) to travel and also attack with Stinger Missiles and RPGs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_equipment_use...

But also blowing up things up to and including civilian infrastructure. Lots of bridges, etc. were attacked for years. This is a guerilla insurgency. Wikipedia says:

They concentrated on both civilian and military targets, knocking out bridges, closing major roads, attacking convoys, disrupting the electric power system and industrial production, and attacking police stations and Soviet military installations and air bases. They assassinated government officials and PDPA members, and laid siege to small rural outposts. In March 1982, a bomb exploded at the Ministry of Education, damaging several buildings. In the same month, a widespread power failure darkened Kabul when a pylon on the transmission line from the Naghlu power station was blown up. In June 1982 a column of about 1,000 young communist party members sent out to work in the Panjshir valley were ambushed within 30 km of Kabul, with heavy loss of life. On 4 September 1985, insurgents shot down a domestic Bakhtar Airlines plane as it took off from Kandahar airport, killing all 52 people aboard.

So even if USSR "won", or supported the local secular government, they'd get attacked, similar to how the Taliban would fight the USA in the last 20 years and eventually make our army leave too (this year). The USA used this force to, in the words of Brezhinski, national security advisor "make the soviets bleed for as much and as long as possible": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9RCFZnWGE0

Unfortunately, the longer a protracted proxy war like this goes on, the more civilians are killed. After the Soviets "won" in Afghanistan, the ensuing proxy war claimed the lives of 2 million Afghan civilians! https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War

In Ukraine, the CIA thought Russia would quickly make the government in Kyiv capitulate and agree to Putin's demands, so they started training Ukrainian paramilitaries to do the work of Mujahideen, here is an article in Yahoo News about that from before Feb 24:

I expect the Ukranian post office has many similar stamps designed and ready. They make good material to promote Ukraine.
Depends on the content I'm looking at and if there is a lot of terminology that I'm unfamiliar with. If I find that I am pausing quite often to take notes then I just slow it down to 1.5x.
Hey now! You're talking about me! (Not really). My first job out of college was as a temp for a marketing group in Boca Raton, FL where I had moved briefly to get away from New England weather. I was tasked to write "OS/2 Success Stories" which were used to create white papers and other marketing material. This was years before the OS/2 Warp release, which was, I agree, truly abysmally marketed (that logo!!). The only thing I can remember solidly was that Traveller's Insurance used OS/2 and I wrote glowing details of how happy they were with it. But other financial companies come to mind too. Chase maybe? Oh, and that installing OS/2 in the days before CD ROMs required a stack of easily 20 floppy disks or more... You'd pop them in, one after another, listening for a beep to tell you when to switch, for what seemed like hours.

Even though it wasn't a technical job per se, I learned to create a little Lotus Notes database to help us keep track of the various companies and more importantly, got my own copies of the rare developer manuals which were only available to licensees of Notes. Between that small bit of knowledge and IBM on my resume (a very big deal even in the early 90s), I was able to bald-face my way into getting a programming job and starting my career.
Once the military uses it, it becomes a target regardless of its utility to civilians.
This just helps Germany to avoid the repercussions of their gas supply going away.

After improverishing other European countries by pushing to them the IMF-style neoliberal loans after forcing them to bail out PRIVATE German banks in those countries back in 2008 and then blaming the people of those countres for 'being lazy', they will be scarcely motivated to help Germany that way.

Especially considering how German industry's competitiveness hangs on other countries' industries being weaker, bringing the Euro down to keep German exports competitive.

This is a chance for all the other European countries in recovering their industries back - German industry shutting down means that domestic and foreign markets that those industries were dominating will now be open to other European countries. Couple this with the Euro going down and making European products more competitive, you can understand that why other countries are not so enthusiastic in bailing out Germany.
The comment you replied to was about UTM, which does allow running earlier versions of macOS/OS X on Apple silicon hosts:

Motivation? Minimization is a large and old problem. In physics, some problems can be solved by noting that energy, momentum are conserved and maybe also minimized or action is minimized.

In operations research, minimization is a central theme -- linear programming, Kuhn-Tucker conditions in nonlinear programming, dynamic programming, integer linear programming (early source of NP completness theory), etc.

But more generally, it is nagging that something as simple as a soap bubble a child with some wire can create is so difficult to analyze with math. So, a guess would be that math needs some new techniques.

However, none of that would motivate me to get involved with soap bubbles. I heard Almgren lecture, and then and to now I still am not interested in investing time in soap bubbles. Instead, I want a more visible and greater need.
Yeah I could see maybe going full Linux if everybody were working on custom built towers where maximum compatibility for each component can be assured and sleep won't be a problem, but I wouldn't want to be stuck with supporting a fleet of laptops running Linux. My Tiger Lake ThinkPad which is a couple generations old (no longer cutting edge) and about as standardized/boring as it gets (Intel for most components, no fussy discrete GPU) runs Linux ok but has sleep issues that hamper its usefulness as a laptop.
If you think "mine" and "theirs" doesn't make sense, just wait until you start reading the _other_ merge strategies ("ort", "octopus", etc.)

If it reaches a point of causing public disorder or harming the general welfare of a democratic society, then why not arrest?
When I had to integrate the new intents APIs back when SCA launched it seemed pretty clear to me that they tried to come up with an API that covers many use cases (relatively) uniformly but therefore coming at the cost of a huge complexity boost over ther initial "charge a credit card" experience, which, combined with hugely lacking docs on some corner cases we encountered, seemed like a pretty poor decision to me based on what made them useful in the first place when they launched. As things stand I would look elsewhere now for integrating payments
Wait, there are people out there that don't know what you know? Sound the alarms everyone! These new generation of amateurs are going to ruin everything!
"Satire" isn't the right designation — it's trolling, which is related but distinct (and permits but does not require sincerity).
I don't think it's the NGEU, that was for Covid, but recently Germany just said it will borrow 200 billion Euro to be distributed to German businesses as help, and the article is saying that's not very fair.

> ...believing people should be able to speak their minds aint one of em

And I agree. But that wasn't the point at all. Please re-read my post.
Sorry, but your bullet points all seem like the opposite of parenthood. Disclaimer: I have raised three children.

Having children before you get old makes sense. Pregnancy and childbirth get harder on women as they get older, and some evidence shows that sperm quality decreases with age. Nature has optimized us to reproduce while still young. Why wait ten years? If you think an infant will burn you out now it won't get easier in ten years.

Screening for defects and diseases makes sense to reduce those risks. Enhancement seems unlikely given the ten-year horizon, and likely a bad idea even if/when available.

Why have a child when you plan to have strangers (nanny, schools) do most of the work?

Regardless of all of your plans and precautions, when you bring a child into the world you have responsibility for but not real control over that new person. You don't get to make them into something you want or can plan for. Children have their own personalities and eventually their own wants and desires and plans. A big part of the fun of raising children comes from watching that new person grow and take shape. Parents who try to raise children according to their own ideas and dreams face conflict and disappointment.

Your plan seems to take all the joy and wonder out of having a child and parenting. Some things merit the "very intentional" approach, but relationships and children don't fit that category for me. If you want that kind of control and tentative relationship on your terms, get aquarium fish.
It's amusing the tourists are seen that way in times square now, versus the different population that gained it notoriety a few decades ago.
Think the US famously never signs treaties like that. Our courts decide.
Found a similar rig set up years ago. The old Tektronix TDS scopes used to lock up in a go/no go test rig and stop responding to GPIB commands. Someone unknown got fed up of it so they wired a relay in a box up as an inline switch for the scope power and drove it from a spare port in a GPIB switch box that the test script talked to. This turned the scope on and off again before each test cycle so it was less likely to crash. This saved hours and hours of failed test runs.
A 9mm Glock handgun has no purpose that I know of beyond killing someone. And I would imagine that almost every person killed is killed in self defense - even if that self defense is an attempt defend oneself from complicity in a crime. You're most likely right that any given gun will never harm anyone, but what someone does with it after their purchase is up to them.
this exactly is what i have been exploring/writing about. productizing a tech is a whole other discipline than making the tech itself and its not just "heh be good at marketing and distribution lol"
No, you need a supermajority of both houses and of the individual states. It’s very hard to do, which is by design.

Who is we? You order highly lethal lab chemicals from a one click consumer products site you use to restock your kitchen or is this some kind of hypothetical cost you’re worried about incurring here?

If this is really your approach to consumer product safety then I suppose you’re consistent, if wrong.

I bet it’s not though. I suspect you’re pretty happy with the outcome of a framework where dangerous products are regulated.

The freedom argument is specious we don’t regulate commerce with corporate freedom as an overriding value. We mandate everything from child proof packaging to rear view mirrors to alcohol consumption of pilots to competence exams for barbers to labeling for Doritos.

I suspect most in this thread are idly arguing from bias rather than reading the facts of Amazon’s behavior here it’s pretty indefensible.

Our tech giants are corporations and the things they produce are products. By a few historical accidents (especially section 230) and a shit ton of corporate PR we have been conditioned not to evaluate them as consumer products that can be defective and harmful but we should start.
It's not a black and white situation. The nuclear war is always an alternative to something, but also you can't just give up because it's mentioned. Otherwise it with be "Crimea or nuclear war", "Ukraine or nuclear war", "Poland or nuclear war", "Germany or nuclear war", ...
In my case I have regularly found myself deep inside the bus factor zone because I had a lot of knowledge acquired through working on so many things. Raising the issue "I'm a roadblock" or "I'm overburdened" doesnt seem to work as you pointed out. It seems this is just a sign to a manager to do more managing to you.

The real fix, in my opinion, is to actually hire people. Tech has gotten into this fetish of "dev ops as a culture" or "admin as a culture" or whatever nonsense. These are just excuses to not hire teams to take this work on. Overburdening developers is exactly what they want by design. I suspect this is because developers are paid so much they want to "feel like they're getting their moneys worth" out of them.

Tech culture is toxic and full of abuse parroted gleefully by a lot of these startups HN tends to adore. Leaving companies doesn't even help because its a problem in the culture of tech. Until developers just outright refuse to do nonsense like maintain kubernetes clusters, perform SRE tasks, etc the pain will continue. I look forward to the day I can retire from this awful industry. I unfortunately have many years left of 60 hours weeks to go.
Where will you be studying? Some UK-based degrees are really good, others not so much.
Not too different from what happens in China or India.

The imbalances between the rich provinces and poor ones are much more than in the EU.
Probably even more surprised. GANs never solved the diversity problem.
I basically have the same way when dealing with any software - add ons or modifications are nice until you have to update stuff.
It's a mistake to think technology just solves those problems. After all, it's only because of technology that a single autocratic regime can threaten everyone else with armageddon.

The Boeing Phalcon 707 however, is a really ugly airplane. Something with its look just make me wanna look away in shame.
Yeah, I had a manager PIP me out once like that. I was required to work until midnight to hit a deadline, then get on a call until 3am with the contractors in India, and when my butt wasn't back in the office chair by 8:30am the next day, I was written up for being late. Another warning came from refusing to stay more than 3 hours late one night (unplanned overtime) because I had plans that night, which made me 'not a team player'. After those two warnings, it only took me being randomly 5 minutes late one day for the third and final.

Oddly enough, after we 'mutually agreed to terminate my employment' there, I got a call from the director of another department offering me a job in his department and, most surprisingly, a really glowing recommendation on LinkedIn from the very manager that fired me.

I don't claim to understand it. But I do understand why the company had such high turnover, and why the guy I had been hired to replace had gone on mental health leave and just never came back.
> Also drop hints that a larger technical team would help. If you’re doing things that matter, then sooner or later you’ll find yourself with a team because it’s the stakeholders pushing for it.

Never works. If there's one thing the PHBs and their MBA goons hate it's paying people. That sounds like sarcasm but it's not. I've yet to hear some high-flying MBA tell me that the solution is to give me more money and hire more people. My favorite is that sales, a field probably just as important as developers, is not minimized and sales doesnt have to deal with "two pizza" non-sense, ping pong tables as a benefit, and long hours working literally for free because of the magic of salary. Sales gets to go home on the weekend and suckers like me are stuck doing pagerduty. Of course, when review time comes around there's never enough money in the pot to pay me more...

To these idiots, developers are a cost center to be minimized. Hence why as a developer you regularly wear the hats of 3 different subfields. For example, as a backend/systems engineer there are days I spend more time maintaining terraform/k8/whatever than actually writing code. Or even worse these days - maintaining code written by foreign contractors because labor arbitrage is the new hotness.

The industry needs an entire upheaval and software engineers need to stand up for themselves. Until that happens, the suffering will continue even if you're tied to the wall with golden handcuffs.
Looks like it comes down to a each state to determine how and if they will honor decisions for other Nations.

Here is some information I could find[1].

Obviously, there is a lot of variability here, and I don't there are blanket agreements to enforce judgements. It is hard to imagine the Netherlands forcing payment for an abortion damages judgement from a Texas court .

I would tentatively say: yes, today it is. Or might be.

For someone young today who is still in school. Or just out and has only worked a couple of years, if any.

The reasoning is that people with bachelor's degrees in CS are increasingly a dime a dozen. It may be that the master's degree is the new bachelor's.
I thought those jobs were never coming back!
Factory workers are often not really a thing, factory slaves would be more accurate.

Chetu argued instead that the webcam was no different than if the worker had been present in the office being observed by management.

Is this a company where a manager is literally watching over employees for the whole day? I don't think that's normal outside of things like production lines and other blue-collar type environments.
The proposed response is not uniform in either case.

Wouldn’t some think that it would be e.g. justified to set fire to a police station or something? I mean, seeing as riots include things like other places being set aflame.
But I didn't say anything about communism, we're talking about capitalism. Though I also don't understand how communist states cannot have economies of scale x)

What I'm saying is that capitalism was concurrent with a too many developments and transformations, for us to be able to simplistically say "capitalism creates prosperity" (let alone the even stronger "capitalism creates prosperity and nothing else can").
Germany is making a killing in selling their cars and tools to the “periphery”. East europe being their largest export market - some 30%.

The main cultural issues that keep the periphery poor are those stemming from the “core”. Always shitting on the south and east is what keeps those regions stagnating. What upsets me is that they turn the other cheek instead of slapping right back.
Believing different entities to be similar because they share one property in common is very convenient, but is very unintelligent...

oh. outside of the US, in less developed "democracies" they claim there would be speech tht can incite parts of the population to physical aggression against other parts of the population. they blame it on "experience with Nazis" who purportedly had used speech, in print, radio and just public speeches to create a climate of aggression against some groups of people.

In Rust plain C-style `union`s (used with the `union`) keyword are associated with `unsafe`. The ergonomic, standard replacement is `enum`. So you would do, e.g., `enum Option<T> { Some(T), None }` to represent a nullable value in the type system.
They don't have to be told about the attack as part of the promotion. A group of stamp artists gets told "we want to make stamps of 50 different Russian monuments getting blown up to support national unity." Then, they produce some art - Lenin's tomb, this bridge, the Kremlin, some sort of iconic skyscraper, etc. One of the 50 gets blown up, and a stamp line gets released. For bonus points, if one of those artists actually is a Russian asset, the Russians now waste resources guarding all the other monuments expecting future attacks.

The screenshot-the-TV approach also works, and there are ML filters that can stylize that art, so we wouldn't know how the stamps were actually created.
