If YouTube didn't have you agree to TOS before uploading a video, you may have a point here. In it's current state though, YouTube has carte-blanche permission to remove anything they want, not just disagreeable content. The concept of free speech does not give you the ability to renegotiate service agreements, unfortunately.
> If a lifetime license with no other terms other than “it’s for life! Including all future versions” can be pulled at any time, what does this say about the risk of buying into any lifetime license with any other company? This turns into a high-risk investment as all rules would be thrown out the window.

It's not particularly difficult to just retire and cease supporting the old product with the "lifetime license", and release a new one, that's substantially the same, but with a different license. Give it a facelift or something.
> YouTube is a company, not a human being.

The compelled speech doctrine applies to companies.
Conversely then, how does the DMCA not violate the first amendment by silencing speech? Is there actually any difference in the direction of application of this regulation?
If the license was upheld as sold, "sympathy" would not be required.
Not only, but also. I tried training a facial expression classifier on one of the Kaggle data sets, and although it passed against its own self-managed test set, it thought absolutely every real-world example (not from the Kaggle set) was a smile.
The challenge is that AI generated content will only register as garbage to those who fall 1-2 standard deviations away from the mean interest level for whatever content the AI is producing. For everybody else, it will typically be a 'good enough' story, recipe, video, etc. Several months ago, I wanted to cook chicken curry, so I googled and chose a top result. The recipe was fine, but it wasn't what I wanted. I then googled for a new recipe, this time more carefully vetting the ingredients. The recipe was an improvement, but still not what I wanted. Finally, I used NYT Cooking as my search engine, and the recipe was excellent. If I didn't have a strong preference, and know exactly what I wanted, the first recipe would have been perfectly suitable. The danger is that demand for 'advanced sources' erodes to the point that these publications/content creators are either forced to adopt the AI and turn to garbage or go out of business.

What needs to be said here is that average quality is more or less irrelevant. If the amount of high quality movies increases (it did) and the discoverability doesn't suffer (it didn't too much), then that's a plus.
Telemundo actively did this. Claim copyright of creators' material and file strikes against them.

Then there were the cases of extortion trolls (criminals) who demanded money from creators in exchange for removing strikes.

0. Fuck YouTube and criminals and 1. never depend on it as a primary source of income. (that's what merch is for).

Yeah. The automated return process is going to try to force you to mail things back. If you can force your way through their byzantine process that hides trying to get to a human behind a chatbot, you can eventually make your way to the proper humans that will actually issue a refund.

Worst off you email jeff@ or jassy@ and some executive assistant eventually picks it up.
Hetzner is all about doing things efficiently, in unconventional ways.

There are some Youtube videos of people getting tours of their data centers. It's a very custom setup, keeping both component costs and energy costs down. Their earliest servers were basically tower PCs on shelves, their more recent generations are more akin to custom rack designs with inhouse-assembled servers, with a datacenter design that exploits natural convection to do a lot of the cooling.
I haven't found much better deals from stores than from Amazon. Maybe except for stores like Costco, but for comparing to Walmart, if I'm buying something at least $20 or so, Amazon tends to have the price around the same point.

If I compare to other stores, it depends on the deal you can find. I got lucky for getting a close out model of an AVR at Electronic Express that works perfectly.

Your definiton ^ ...

And, in terms of sales, that might be your definition of 'caught up' but it's not mine.

Well-used analagy applies here: if sales are your KPI then I assume McDonalds is your idea of a fine meal. Sorry, no.

And your dismissal of Hyundai/Kia by definition singles you out as far out there in biased land. I've test drove all three (including Tesla) and done the research. The only reason I haven't bought an ioniq 5 is because I simply can't justify it at the moment (my work-life means it'll just sit in the driveway however much I want it). But they are all ... great cars.

I'll say Tesla are great cars with groundbreaking technology, if ugly. But the Hyundai/Kia are now the better cars (interior, build, comfort) and the all around package. Again, unless you count "sales" as the definition of 'in the lead'.

*Disclaimer: I have a driveway where I can charge over night. If you don't have this, perhaps the supercharger network means something to you. That appears to be the only advantage.
Is this a bit of a non-story? It says the "free" version of the services, which is an extremely sensible position to take. Would this preclude an institution from using a paid Workspace for Education account with their differentiated terms and guarantees?
Though the only way to do that is probably to end up in a world where most worthwhile content is locked behind hard paywalls so there's one class who pays a lot for gated content (which was more or less the historical state of affairs, public libraries notwithstanding) and the plebes have to filter through all the ad-laden crap.
Except we have no idea if the graph is going to turn out this way, AI tech may be like almost every tech and be facing diminishing returns in the near term (or even, if you plotted the advances against the number of people actively working in the field and the amount of money sent at hardware, we may have been facing diminishing returns for a while without realizing it because we investing a lot of effort in it).

Maybe AI will unlock a cascade of things that will make it a self reinforcing trend as we've seen with the industrial revolution, leading to an exponential boom, but maybe it will not. And the fact that the GPT-N is doing an incredible job at simulating intelligence doesn't really give a hint about the answer.

How cybercriminals have been affected by the war in Ukraine
No, in my latin american country it really is the men who need much more civilizing. I'm done with feeling guilt or fear of being called euro-centric or colonialist, especially when my country ranks fifth in violent homicides against women, in the world (source: UN's ACNUDH). The other countries? Three of them are also in South America (Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala). In Brazil a woman is murdered every 6 hours, 81% of the time by their partners or ex-partners. I won't even list the number of rape cases each year. I have a daughter and I have a wife, and I have two sisters, and I grew up here, I know my own culture, I talk to other men every single day. If you live in Europe or the US, they don't view women the same way you do. And yes, Europe's views on women and on equality is objectively better than ours. Ask 1,000 women here. Ask 10,000. Cultures are not all equal, not equally 'good'. Some aspects of my culture I love. Others, not so much. That's how it is, actually, not some 'every aspect of every culture has equal merit and should never be criticized' fairy tale. I'm very sorry for the readers for sounding so harsh, I really am. But, like I said, I have a daughter and a wife. My wife is scared or at least on high alert any time she is alone. I will criticize this society and this machismo culture until the day my daughter grows up and doesn't have to feel this way. Again, really sorry for the harsh tone, I guess I'm venting more than anything.

You are aware that manufactures face penalties for lying and deception, right? I can't recall Tesla ever being fined for misleading marketing, ever.

> Tesla semi was production ready in 2020

I guess you've never missed a deadline. That's not lying. It's miscalculation.

> and was more efficient than train

A Semi convoy is expected to be cheaper than a train and they re-iterated that in the latest event. No evidence to the contrary so far.

> And whatever other lies musk said back then.

Promised 500 miles. Delivered 500 miles. Turned the impossible (according to pretty much everyone, from Bill Gates, to CEO of truck making companies who joked that Tesla Semi will be breaking laws of physics) into late. Still not lying.

> Musk is prolific deceiver, I dont trust a single thing coming out of his mouth nor his websites.

He doesn't have websites. He has companies that have websites.

> Tesla cars are notorious for its expensive repairs. Its a huge cost and risk switching to it.

Is that why Hertz, that puts the most number of miles on a passenger vehicle has ordered 100000 Teslas, 20% of its global fleet, because it loves to waste money on cost of repair?

Only someone totally oblivious to the limitations of doing science in the real world could claim this. I work for a big pharma whose major product is cancer therapy. Despite some progress, a cure for cancer remains unimaginable on any timeline.

The author's problem isn't linear vs exponential thinking. It's with fantasy.
I put Amazon on my eternal shit list a very long time ago, when they only sold books.

The reason for this was their bait and witch regarding their privacy policy and since then I have never bought anything from them.

This decision seems to be better by the day.
It's the same problem Twitter had. Before meatheads like Elon Musk started knocking heads together, there were a lot of people actually convinced of Twitter's altruism. In reality, the situation was much the same as YouTube.
I think in most states within the US, generation is a hard problem to solve because of state regulation. There are some outliers (Texas) but in general its hard to just start your own power plant thats connected to the grid.
Lichess on Scala3 – Help needed
>> "Which saves more gasoline, going from 10 to 20 mpg, or going from 33 to 50 mpg"

I'm surprised such questions come up often. Usually a current vehicle gets x MPG and a new one might get y. We use l/100 km in Canada. I think the primary advantage is it relatively easy to compute number of liters needed on a longer trip. It isn't super important however - better just to fill up!

PS
I was mostly kidding about using MPJ. The numbers would be tiny and hard to make sense of.
But everybody has an important viewpoint that they need to spread themselves and that you haven't or someone else hasn't already elucidated /s.

I envision bots owned by different companies, lobbyists, political groups battling one another leading to all of them eventually being booted off the platforms when people tire of it. I do not know how long it will take for this to get old and tiresome. How long will it take for the bot owners to realize they are the only participants in the discussions?

Perhaps people will rely on their smaller circles of real people for trusted communications and everything else will be devalued over time. I am curious about the positive and negative effects of people becoming indifferent to most topics when they lose faith in platforms having genuine people. People do not like being deceived and may become indifferent, disenchanted or disenfranchised.

Maybe this leads to people moving some of their discussions to real time video chats and ignoring all printed content on the web?
Strangely, recipes in particular are generally untested and so faulty as to fail when done strictly according to the written instructions.

I don't like that they're milking old SB servers.
I have a 12 year old server there ddr3 RAM, xeon e3 v2, 4x2tb hdd with raid controller.
I paid 51€ for this for years, then like a year ago asked if I could get a price reduction.
They agreed, down to 35€ but ni backup. Then, 3 months later, they increased prices because "electric cost" and now they'll increase them again because "inflation". So that I'll pay freaking 45€ for soon 13 year old hardware that can break any moment.
It doesn't cost them even half of it. The server barely has any load, rarely reboots and they still increase prices.
And I can't even run a discord bot because their network is banned.
And they keep sending me false email spam positives, from freaking sign up confirmation mails.
When you criticize them on their forum you get banned.
I had the computer since 2014. It was already paid when I rented it. It had now been paid 4 times over. And they still increase prices.

If there was a similarly priced alternative I'd be gone in a second.

Their idk.. the guy who makes the systems and orders hardware is stuck in the past. Arno or what his name is. I'd rather have 4×2TB than 2×10TB HDDs. I'd rather have low powered cores but more cores than those beast machines.
Anything below highest tier is a consumer computer.
And that highest tier is expensive, more expensive than comparable alternatives from Leaseweb or similar providers.
Connectivity is only good for the country it's in and the immediate neighbors. That's for Germany. The Helsinki DC has an unreliable connection to Europe mainland.
20ms-60ms-80ms latency is not what I'd consider stable.

They are greedy.
At least in Europe, buying from Amazon directly is no guarantee for getting what you paid for. You can find numerous reports online of people who purchased expensive electronics items from Amazon directly and received cheap garbage of approximately the same weight. People had to go to great lengths to get their money back from Amazon.

Tasmanian tiger: Remains of last thylacine found in cupboard after 85 years
It has more to do with the quantity of Chrome instances (tabs or electron apps) than it does with them running Chrome at all. A small number of tabs or 1-2 well behaved Electron apps will still have a sizable negative impact but it won’t chew through battery life like a heavy tab load or stacks of Electron apps will. The type of sites loaded in the tabs make a difference too; tabs with static documentation aren’t going to make the kind of impact a tabs with heavy web apps. Lots of variables.

That said, it’s not that uncommon for Mac users conscious about battery life to be using Safari where they can instead of Chrome, keeping Chrome instances down to a minimum. From what I’ve seen in discussions across the web, battery friendliness is one of the most cited if not the most cited reason why people use Safari.

I wish Google would pause feature development for a while and focus on efficiency, because that’s easily where Chrome is weakest, but that’s never going to happen so long as it’s the dominant browser. It makes Google more money to instead develop whatever they think will push more people towards Google services.

Ah Hetzner. Good prices, screwy business practices. Got a quote from them for one rate, setup a demo and got shut us down saying that our application was against their TOS. Funny considering our app was at that point nothing but a near blank static website- we hadn't even fully deployed it. Talked to the sales guys who assured us it would 'be fixed'- but after 3 weeks of zero feed back we bolted. FWIW, the app we were going to deploy there was a simple website that provided contact info and PDFs of product manuals for their German clients.
Amazon Prime has become a prime (haha) example of how capitalism is failing. It's not the best price, it's not faster anymore, it's not good quality and you can't trust anybody.

Amazon is being flooded with the cheapest of the cheapest stuff from China and alike. Either with ripoffs of well-known products or just 25 items which look the same but are from different "brands". Finding "good stuff" for a topic you don't know about is getting harder and harder.

Those items also aren't cheap though, I've found better quality items at a local store for nearly the same price. Lazyness just made me buy it quickly on Amazon, because I thought it was the easiest (as in "cheapest + fastest") way.

You also don't whether those items are good after all. Reviews are 50/50 mixed with people who were paid by the manufacturer for a positive review or by competitors who want to make a product look bad. My personal favorite for the last time probably was a "is this any good?" question where somebody responded with "I've made you a quick video" and posted a hiqh quality, advertisement video. These reviews and answers are so blatantly fake but there's no way to report them. Amazon doesn't care after all, too. So, the trust is gone.

Ok, but we'll receive the items quick and be able to judge them by ourselves then? No. Prime regularly takes 3-5 working days for me now. I don't know what thei problems is, but does anybody remember the times when you received a month of Prime for free if your item was not delivered on time? That's long gone.

Prime, at this point, is just "free shipping", nothing more.
I think pack at the back designs would be quick to swap out. Going on a long trip - use two.
SAP, at its core, is an ERP system. Those, in turn, run around MRP (Material Requirements Planning), all in xompliant and auditable manner (if used properly, that is). There is a reason why ERP systems rule the manufacturing world, and SAP rules ERP systems. All the chatter about CTOs going golfing with some SAP sales rep not withstanding, SAP is a very solid system and used by very sophisticated folks (ideally, if not, well, you cannot blame Red Bulls latest Formula 1 car if I crash it in turn one).

So, if you are a manufacturing business, MRP is a must and SAP an expensive but solid choice. If you are not, and thus don't need MRP and ERP, well, you wouldn't use a semi truck for your weekly groccery shopping neither.

People who only look at the UI, and then not even the UI of the core funtionality of an ERP system, and then dump on, e.g. SAP (all ERPs are the dame but different in that regard), just show that they have zero clue what those ERPs are supposed to do and how they are supposed to be used.
