YouTube is a big platform. Rather than understanding and allowing for a diversity of viewers with different watching preferences, the platform wants everyone to be the same homogenous consumer without realizing that kids and adults are different!

It's so disappointed to have people with the power of propaganda misinform everyone that regression is progress!
Most likely one of the posted photos or program names werent supposed to ever see the light of day.

Another example of why this sort of top down regulation is bad.
ASMR is awesome, I need it to sleep nowadays. But sadly it has turned into a target for camgirls and people who expose their body and provide no real ASMR content.
Is it true the majority of imperial Rome personal names had -anus endings and they are not in vogue in Modern English for the obvious soundalike to Uranus?

And given the time available to an octopus while she waits for her eggs to hatch, what is the recommended reading list from the Loeb library for the octopus's consciousness if there were a universal translator babelfish she could use?
Aw, it was a little bit more to it than that. Not tons more, but I remember being quizzed on Nyquist frequencies and thinking that was pretty cool.
Oh yes I didn't get into details but it's still there. More specifically, if you know or reconstruct the urls to it, it's there and working including videos added or channels created after the removal (probably because they don't want all those devides like the TV you mentionned not working anymore).

They just removed the button on the interface, which shows it wasn't a technical need or anything like that, it was on purpose to stop people being able to enjoy that feature.
Thanks, keeping the program comfortable and intuitive (as far as that's possible with trackers) is definitely one of my goals.
I do the same whence I realized there is only "sort by upload date desc" option: I doom scrolled all the way to bottom.
yup. my salary and everyone else at my organization is published every year by the local newspaper. We aren't required to publish it ourselves, but if anyone asks, we are required to reveal it, so the local paper files a request every year and publishes it.
Governments and most education institutions are not part of the free market. Their income also does not depend on their efficiency or value they create so its not the same comparison.
> If the authorship is unearned the supervisor is just stuffing author lists which is unethical.

Or the 2nd-3rd authorship is earned, but doesn't count enough as a scientific contribution to go into a thesis.

> If the student is not first author on any and their contributions are minimal, the supervisor failed to notice that the student hasn't been making progress for 4 years.

Or the student does have first authorships which have been submitted to a journal and put on the arXiv, but haven't been accepted yet so aren't enough for the thesis.

> If there is at least one first authorship in there in a decent publication, that should be enough to justify a PhD thesis (not necessarily a good grade).

Based on my experience (admittedly in the Netherlands, not Germany like in the OP), around three first authorships is the benchmark. But naturally there are variations between subjects/institutions/countries.
At least TikTok lets you seek in any video. Youtube does not in their shorts. One huge reason people don't use it.
A number of applications I really enjoy are written in Go, so it's been on mind to learn enough to be dangerous.

The list of constitutional crises in the former Dominions is a short list, so I thought I'd point out a similar event that happened in Canadian history. Wikipedia calls it the King-Byng affair (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%E2%80%93Byng_affair), but my history professors usually referred to it affectionately as the King-Byng Thing.

That article doesn’t remotely suggest that they are “bad”.

The article says they were advised by Deutsche Bank that they could classify certain trades in a way as to pay long-term instead of short-term capital gains taxes.

The IRS disagreed, RenTech went through an appeals process and eventually decided to settle instead of continuing the process.

There’s nothing evil about trying to legally lower your tax obligations and then being told by the IRS “Nope, you can’t do it like that.”
I've seen a fair number of posts arriving to the front page with ~5 points.

One element could be the timing - if 5 points appear in the first, say, 15 minutes, it might be enough to raise it to the front page? Maybe there's an element of randomness, too. Dunno.

I suppose HN algorithms are secret for a reason - if they were revealed, they could be optimized for.
> I would argue that for high performers, it could become an excuse not to pay more.

This is already used as an excuse, except that right now you can't easily check whether that's even true, so I think transparency would actually be better. If you're a high performer, switch to a company where you feel rewarded suitably, which is easier to do with transparency.

> everyone thinks they're a high-performer

That's again a problem with less information: nobody really knows so they just assume.

BLIT – a short story by David Langford
The way I understand it, Postcard.page is letting users publish a personal website.

One of the premium features is the custom domain which lets users have a website. Hence, the product is generating money on the premise of building a website for you that’s a completely new entity which makes me think this does in fact qualify as a website builder.
Was surprised here too. You can display bookmarks in 4 ways (list, cards, moodboard, headlines) and choose up to 6 data fields per bookmark (cover photo, title, description, highlights, tags, info) and sort in 7 ways (date asc desc, name asc desc, url asc desc and manual).

That’s 168 ways to display bookmarks, and every collection can have a different sort.

The site and apps sync and remember these display options flawlessly.
this is sad because youtube is and always has been extremely resistant to public pressure. it doesn’t matter how much people complain, this is going to happen. same for removing dislikes to protect corporations from negative press, same for every piss-poor UI redesign, same for hiding viewer totals, same for desperately trying to copy tiktok

tangentially, there is one lesson content providers need to learn from tiktok. listen up, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Youtube, and no doubt soon Twitter: Improve. Your. Algorithm. you do not need twist your content into a copycat format, like a teenage girl following fashion trends. tiktok is successful because it has an incredibly effective algorithm. that’s it. it’s no more complex than that

it’s insane to me that these platforms with masses of content freely available to them are so delighted to jump straight to abandoning all of that and cloning another app. just use the content that is already there, but show it to me better

I regularly go to my youtube recommended feed. what do I see? 5 videos I’ve already watched. 4 videos I’ve passed up on watching countless times. 3 videos I have no interest in, and maybe 1 that I might consider watching. why? because youtube’s algorithm is awful. the solution to this is not for them to pivot to stupid information bytes, but for them to make a better damn algorithm
It's not and the edit reason explains why it was done: to focus on the problem and not on its side effects.

Bull.

Plenty of excellent science is done by people who aren’t working 90 hour weeks under slave driving advisors. Incredible workaholism is not a “necessary” characteristic of a useful researcher. It just isn’t. This is a story that people tell themselves to allow them to abuse others or be abused.

Hi all,
I'm the author of https://devenv.sh, https://cachix.org and https://nix.dev.

I've been part of the Nix community for years and in the last 4 years focused on making it documented, simple and accessible for any developer.

After building Cachix (where you can store any software binaries with a few steps) we realized that there needs to be an intuitive interface for crafting developer environments.

I'm really looking forward what you build on top of devenv. We're only beginning to explore the area of what's possible, so please give as much feedback as you have.

I spent the last two years slowly deleting profiles or stripping them of information. I used maigret and Firefox' saved logins to list my profiles.

I also used Redacted to wipe my social media profiles clean. It was hard because I didn't want to delete the useful advice I wrote for others.

I reviewed the privacy settings of all the profiles I kept and turned off as much tracking as possible. I enforce the rest with browser extensions, and by staying logged out.
I looked at the specs, I didn't see a dedicated processor doing the Ladder Logic / Modules part. Perhaps they dedicate one core to it... but that's a lot more janky than a separate CPU at about a dollar or two.

I wouldn't want WiFi, Ethernet, or any other IO crashing the Controller. It has to be rock solid.
Under load it might take a few minutes to execute a trade, which is better than just losing your asset because the exchange went insolvent.

This is why L2 is actively being developed on Ethereum, and already processing a lot of volume. Same trustless withdrawals, but higher bandwidth and lower fees.
I have started "unplugging" from google's service (drive, email...) since they killed inbox. Along side with privacy issues, for me they don't seem like a reliable service provider.
95% of the Youtube content I want to see is either educational or created by friends/family. I don't want TikTok-style algorithmic content.

At this point, I think there's a business model in making a Youtube front-end which is designed to be not horrible for niche users like myself.

I suspect I'm a small enough percentage of the market to not be worth bothering with for a $1T company, but plenty enough to sustain a mid-sized startup.

https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect is a bit over-zealous. Love the idea, but I still want to be able to browse the homepages of the sites.

After installing the addon and visiting just https://youtube.com I get redirected to https://inv.vern.cc/ that just displays "Our main server's ISP is having issues, even router resets haven't fixed it. We apologize for this long downtime". Visiting https://twitter.com I get redirected to https://twt.funami.tech/ which displays "502 Bad Gateway"

Not a great experience to be honest. Still, love the idea, but execution is poor at best.
Really depends on how you use it, who you follow, and other things. It’s actually probably less of a cesspool than most social media sites.
>> An estimated 2 billion people understand English globally. That number is only growing.

And what's the reason for that? Exactly what the comment you are answering says.

>> While Excel has probably the most programmers in the world, their instructions are localized.

And what a mess that is. And if you have a problem chances are that the answer will be in English. So, again, you have to know English.

>> And among programmers of other programming languages I bet that way over 50% understand English. So I’d say that most programmers do understand English.

Again, they don't have an option, have they? Who knows? Maybe, someday in the future we will have to learn Mandarin.

> it's most likely that users flagged your post

I think when users flag a post they should only be given that privilege if their account is under their real name and if it shows who flagged a post. I rarely flag a post but when I do I would always be willing to do so publicly and state why. Otherwise downvotes/lack of upvotes should be the only acceptable means of flagging.

Obviously you post under your real name, so if you flag anything then I of course can disagree but have no right to be upset as ultimately you are the final judge here and I respect that.
Also a side effect of the move-fast, break-things-often hyper-"agile" mentality that treats the customer as the product, the advertiser as "king", shareholders over employees, and faceless customer service megabrands that provide their users zero recourse. This seems to be the current favored pattern for Silicon Valley-style companies.

Personally I would've just been fine with them saying that it's feature creep and maintenance burden they don't want, I'm sure newpipe is already more than enough work to keep up with in it's current state, but there you go.
That works just fine but the vast majority of cryptocurrencies just copied the flawed design of conventional fiat currencies and they fail in exactly the same ways.

Youtube shorts is the most addictive thing I have ever used. I clicked it once to see what it was, and it hasn't turned off since.

The videos are exactly the same length as my attention span has shrunk to. They are all vertical, so, I'm probably doing it wrong using a desktop computer like some lunk from the twentieth century, but I can't stop myself.

I've fallen into a box I cannot crawl out of and have no desire to. I'm in trouble.

I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who thinks this is serious heavy duty dumb.

Last night I saw an ad that seemed to imply Amazon Music would now be included with Prime. I thought, hmm, let me check if it still does the thing where you can’t play what you tap. Yup. Still does it. Tap a song and some other random song plays.

Somewhere deep in the bowels of Amazon there is an exec who thinks this is a brilliant way to drive conversion. Probably has some data that somehow supports this notion. Amazing.
Can’t you bend DevonThink to your workflow?

There was a (after war) baby boom here too. We didn't call them by that name, but there was a huge population rise in the late 40s and 50s.

In yugoslavia, you didn't own an apartment, but you rented it (from the government)... so almost noone had more than one apartment, noone had a too-large apartment, and if you got a job in trbovlje the government would get you an apartment in trbovlje (a city in the middle of nowehere). If you died, the apartment went back to the "pool", and someone else could get it. If you got a kid, you got a bigger apartment, and someone else got the smaller one.

But still, nobody owned those apartments, they just rented them.

The high ownership (the colored map from a post above) came only after they sold all those apartments to renters, and people started hoarding them, because they got them for very cheap and the prices could only go up. For "normal people" it would be better to have lower ownership and more renting from the government (if it was handled properly by the government.. a big if).. but then the colored would show different ownage percentages.

The biggest problem now is, that you're not allowed to build anymore, due to regulations and a lack of buildable land (in a legal sense... there is a lot of land, but the government doesn't allow building there, also in A LOT of areas, you can build a two apartment two story building max, instead of large apartment buildings that we need). "Back then", the government decided they needed more apartments, they took a piece of land and started building.. didn't matter if it was a pasture [0], a field, what the neighbors though (again, government buildings next door), they just built.

Now we have areas where we could build [1], but the government doesn't allow it... sometimes, if you're friendly with the mayor, you buy a farmland somewhere, and it suddenly becomes buildable, but this isn't true for "normal people". It seems a lot of people have invested interests to keep realestate prices high, and those people are in positions of power and can decide where we can or cannot build.

Software needs hardware to create economic growth, namely data centers and disposable computers (smartphones, notebooks, smart watches, routers and so on). It doesn't matter if they are more energy efficient either if you keep making more and more of them. Just the environmental impact of making them is unsustainable. Similarly it doesn't matter how much value new paradigms like Bitcoin or AI adds to the economy, it's just more environmental impact. Replacing hundreds of millions of cars with electric cars is just more impact too.

> That said, being able to sort comments chronologically here on HN would be nice too, so people in glass houses…

This is basically the main reason I wrote https://ditzes.com, be able to read HN while offline + chronological order of the comments without putting any importance on points (edit: and well, to have a dark UI to be able to read after the sun goes down too). Here is this comment thread in ditzes: https://ditzes.com/item/33558531

I mainly use it via a browser bookmark that redirects me from HN to Ditzes. If I find a comment I like, click the date with middle-mouse to open the comment in proper HN to comment.

Here's the bookmark in case people wanna use it:

javascript:window.location.href = 'https://ditzes.com/item/' + (new URLSearchParams(window.location.search)).get('id');
The way the UK system works (and I imagine the same is true in the US and other FPTP, 2 Party systems) means officials who behave badly are retained and promoted while the clean, honourable ones are rapidly expelled. Parties want officials that will do as they are told. The way that is assured is to know and cover up for their sins.

Graphene certainly looks impressive by all accounts, but are there any 3rd party audits? I can't find any.

I've learned to expect that from FOSS software that has any kind of security claims and purports to help me be more private or secure. Particularly since I don't have the necessary skills/knowledge to do so myself.
Any link to the tiktok article?
The author used a SASS bookmarking service when any number of general purpose options would have sufficed. Google doc, HTML file on a web-server, text file on a share somewhere...

The only time I bookmark something is when I find something interesting that I wasn't looking for OR some obscure page that's hard to get to in a SASS product.

It's too much work curating bookmarks, and for me the utility marginal at best. Often times when I go to look up a saved bookmark, the page has moved so I have to find it again anyway.

> Goal: An informed, thoughtful, and involved populace

> Proxy: The ease with which people can share and find ideas

Are people today not more informed, thoughtful and involved? Maybe you just don't like the information, the thougths and the involvement. Is someone who shares and finds ideas on the internet not more involved then someone who passively watches TV? I harp on the term "involved" here, because that's the most neutral one. The capital rioters were quite involved.
