YouTube has gotten consistently worse under her leadership in my experience. Creators have been squeezed dry with less and less revenue, ads are obnoxious and terrible, and experiments like shorts are badly implemented, make little money for creators and should be aborted.

YouTube 10 years ago was a place for people to do what they loved and build a following, now it's just a click bait farm where everyone is gaming the algorithm with the same thumbnails, the same content, and even hawk their own ads/partnerships because YouTube revenue can't support them anymore.

Good riddance IMHO. I hope whoever comes next actually focuses on creators and their needs.
Where I live they had those but the people running the cameras would snap the photos and stack them so you'd get 60 or 90 days of violations and then they would send them in a big stack so you wouldn't know until the last minute you even did anything wrong, and get all 90 at once. There was also the issue of due process, which means a process server ($$$) had to actually serve the person (who would probably hide and not answer the door) as just sending it in the mail isn't legally considered served.

The other issue is for them to mean anything beyond a civil penalty against the car, you need to show who the driver was and give the public a chance to face their accuser. So people just started driving to work with ski masks, etc and if actually caught would demand a representative from the photo company actually show up in court.

In the off chance you actually were found guilty after all that (process server actually got to you, proved it was your face, accuser actually showed up in court, no technicality was found, and on and on) then the city had to spend practically half the fine money on royalty/maintenance fees to the companies running the camera (the city doesn't have the expertise to do all that on their own). You can imagine the anger and resentment that caused amongst the populace about sending their money away to some for-profit black hole (the executives of this company themselves are on record dodging the process servers too lol after being snapped by their own camera).

It is so abused and fucked up system from so many angles at least where I live it was voted out after having been thoroughly tested and tried.

Is there a good metric that we can use to quantify changes in weather volatility over time? I'm thinking of something like the VIX stock market index, but for regional weather.
Yep. This is a cynical counsel of despair. "Don't try filtering truth from lies. Everyone does it. Just lie back and think of England."

There is a difference between withholding information, selective emphasis, and outright lies. They are all bad, but they are equally bad. If you want to make things better you attempt to differentiate better from worse actors.

TLDR; all media, and all people, are biased, but they are not all equally biased. This bias can produce false beliefs. If you think false beliefs are a bad thing you promote the better actors and condemn the worse.
Indeed! But I'm still pondering why she didn't put this announcement on her YouTube channel. It could be:

A. the message was more effectively conveyed as text

B. all the comment spam in her January 2022 video (people asking for a new CEO, etc.)

C. possibility of inopportune ad placement as she is introducing Neal Mohan

D. the people who produced her previous videos are gone after the layoffs
Do you know why construction projects don't get huge last minute changes very much? Because every change request is a billable event.

I don't really believe that non profit news is any more objective if that is what you mean by independent. They are beholden to their donors who can afford it. This will often be large foundations set up by corporations and extremely rich people. There is even a tax incentive that a corporation or foundation/trust can use to get a tax break while ensuring that the non-profit publishes things that align with their own opinions. I actually think the "charity" sector that operates in journalism and politics is extremely corrupt and serves no public interest.

I actually don't think it's possible to solve the problem of funding being able to influence journalism. Although there are independent journalists like on substack (which could be what you mean) I am not convinced that is much different from corporate media except the journalist is more like an LLC or sole proprietorship.
Manager told me to implement an analytics backend for our website. I said it was a waste of time since we could just use Google Analytics and get better analytics than if I spent several months on the projects. Manager told me to do it anyway. End of discussion. I defied him and connected our website to Google Analytics instead. He admitted that Google Analytics worked perfectly and saved us tons of work. Then told me that if I ever did that shit again and disobeyed him I would get fired.

It's not even worth using AirBnB now.

So many of the places aren't that good for the price, or they have strange rules attached.

I cancelled one place, after it turned out to be (quite a nice) shed at the end of the owners garden... with the owner present and their family - you had to walk past all the toys strewn about their garden; I don't want to wake them up because I come back late.

Similarly, others with crazy intrusive rules; only mentioned after booking.

> I had friends who became Trump supporters, and I unfriended them. I believe in morals.

Ironically, the behavior you describe is immoral in my view. I also am a religious person, and I also don't believe in bending morals or that talk will heal all disagreements. However, with political opinions, the primary reason otherwise well intentioned people support bad things is that they don't understand that they are bad. Shunning someone actively makes that situation worse. Sure you can't win people over by arguments, but you can influence them gradually, and if they are your friends, you should want to do that for their own good.

Their intent is to migrate entirely away from Google to the San Francisco based InfluxData, which I guess is marginally better in some ways but seems to entirely miss the point of people's objections in spirit. Other than people's personal subjective trust of one US company over another, there's no inherent difference between Alphabet & InfluxData from a technical standpoint.

If I'm going to be on 2-lane roads at night I wear lightly tinted sunglasses and even then the oncoming lights are a big problem. It's very scary to be driving a 2-ton piece of steel at 50-60 mph and then be intermittently blinded for 1-2 seconds at a time.

Pasta and its cognates is a real ball of culinary-taxonomic mud so that's a pretty unlucky first choice I think.

The word pasta and etymological relatives are also the words for all dough, sausage (pâté), porridge, pastry (pâtisserie), pesto, etc etc in different european cuisines and that's just what I know off the top of my head, in use in the last few decades. If you expand it out a couple hundred years who fucking knows what will have been known by that word or its variants.

I'm not even sure how long that usage dates in english either. Even as recently as mid-late 20th century american cookbooks referred to all noodles as macaroni and used that word generically the same way we use pasta now.
Exactness is not "advertized" on the main page or as a "design principle" but it is there !
Geogram uses "arithmetic expansions", arrays of floating point numbers that can represent numbers with arbitrary precision while being reasonably performant (it is the same thing used by Jonathan Shewchuk in his predicates). In addition, besides predicates, Geogram can use arithmetic expansions to represent intermediary results of computation (I'm currently developing boolean operations that extensively make use of this feature).

Airbnb's growth is pretty interesting when put into context of discussions I see about it in my own life and online. The company has gone from adored to reviled, and I myself have fallen back on classic hotels.

However, it seems that their bookings are up 20% year over year, so there must be a disconnect somewhere.

We see Apps Script is a strong signal that this kind of thing is useful. Apps Script adds so much power to Sheets but it could be so much easier to use. With Neptyne, since your spreadsheet engine runs in a Jupyter kernel, you get an interactive REPL and a very straightforward bidirectional API for reading/writing data.

This is extremely on topic. If a company thinks "marketing email open rate" is a target, it has lost track of what marketing is.

The point is to drive business to the company and that is what should be measured. If people click on your email but don't do any purchase they were already about to make, they are useless. If your spam also alienate your customers, stop what you're doing, no matter your open rate!

I don't understand how so many companies let their marketing department get away with this.
I'm somewhat of an Airbnb "super user". I was a very early adopter, over the last decade, I've spent over $60,000 on Airbnbs around the world.

What I've noticed over the years is the service has very much gone downhill. Prices have super skyrocketed across the globe.

I try to use hotels as much as possible and only go for Airbnb on long stays of 1-6 months.

If it's less than a month, I now opt for a hotel.
The best part: These weren't even dimmable units nor were they on any sort of dimmer-style circuit. On/off only. Still garbage.

I think what you might be looking for is urgency. If you're a high energy person, it can feel boring and unmotivating to work in an environment where nothing is needed from you on any non-distant timeframe.

That's my experience, anyway.
> I think the issue here is ChatGPT is behaving like a child that was not taught to say "I don't know". I don't know is a learned behavior and not all people do this.

Even in humans, this "pretending to know" type of bullshit - however irritating and trust destroying - is motivated to a large extent by an underlying insecurity about appearing unknowledgeable. Unless the bullshitter is also some kind of sociopath - that insecurity is at least genuinely felt. Being aware of that is what can allow us to feel empathy for people bullshitting even when we know they are doing it (like the salespeople from the play Glengarry Glen Ross).

Can we really say that ChatGPT is motivated by anything like that sort of insecurity? I don't think so. It's just compelled to fill in bytes, with extremely erroneous information if needed (try asking it for driving directions). If we are going to draw analogies to human behavior (a dubious thing, but oh well), its traits seem more sociopathic to me.

The parsing time issue is "in the standard now". Even if no rule today matches `property: value { something in brackets }`, that's still at least three tokens (`property`, ':', 'value') to read before bailing out at a bad "property" because values "shouldn't" have things in brackets. (You can build examples with complex CSS selectors where it becomes way more than 3 tokens, as well.)

CSS was designed to be "forgiving" of malformed input, so there's generally no "early" bailout the parser can make, even if it doesn't think it knows which property you are talking about and has a whitelist of specific properties it supports.

Instead of having all these complex pricing strategies, it would be much more attractive IMO to use simple, lower-cost metered pricing without all the gimmicks.

Google is right: companies don't know their requirements ahead of time. But adding additional complex pricing plans doesn't solve the problem.

They need to take a look at Backblaze's B2 pricing. Simple as can be with no gimmicks.

Nice. Any learnings that we got profit from?
In 2008 when the housing market crashed I got stuck way, way underwater on a mortgage. To avoid foreclosure I rented out the house (with a professional property manager), and I was shocked at the senseless destruction and idiocy of people. 3 times in a week the tenant complained that the furnace wasn't working. Each time a guy came out and said "the temperature on the thermostat is the temperature in the house. everything is working perfectly." and then billed me $120. Yet, each time the tenant complained (because he didn't believe the guy I guess??) the property manager had to send someone out. In retaliation for me not "fixing" the furnace (that was working perfectly) the tenant beat the living hell out of the walls and wood flooring, broke glass, and even put the knobs from the stove into the garbage disposal. Never again. I'll just bull doze the next house before renting it.
>> Whatever "meritocracy" we supposedly have, as far as I can tell, is a total fiction.

Worth noting that the term "meritocracy" was invented as satire: https://kottke.org/17/03/the-satirical-origins-of-the-merito...
A linear quadtree is (most commonly, in my experience) just a list of Morton codes, sorted. So yes, very similar to sorted S2 cell Ids, it would seem.

One way to efficiently do a spatial query on such a sorted list is the BIGMIN/LITMAX algorithm I mentioned earlier. I believe the originating paper is: http://hermanntropf.de/media/multidimensionalrangequery.pdf (see section 4 — "Range Search").

In my particular case, I also only cared about the "black" nodes in a tree (that is, ones with some data inside), so the linear quadtree is also sparse, speeding it up more. I think since S2 is modeling the entire sphere's surface, it is fully dense. A sparse version might be "only include the cells that contain land," if that were all that was needed for the application.

Though in the sparse version, you don't have fixed-fanout (or at least, it's not embodied in the array), so can't use the trick you mention. Pros and cons (:

One key advantage of Morton codes is that, given a cell ID, you can split it into the "x bits" and "y bits", to get a genuine (x,y) coordinate in the mapped space. Then you can, for instance, easily navigate to your (spatial) neighbor by incrementing X or Y. If I understand your last sentence correctly, this is not something you can do so easily with a plain array-ifying trick.

I met one once. Because he was renting out the bottom floor of his townhouse in DC, so he was on site anyway. Nice place, mostly, with rave reviews. Complimentary candy, soda, and even beer when we arrived (late at night after a long flight, so the snacks were very welcome. But holy crap the bed was awful. Hard as a rock, firmest mattress I've ever tried to sleep on. Ended up sleeping on the couch. And the power kept failing each day we were there, though that seemed to be a neighborhood thing, not specific to his apartment. Just bad luck.

I'm back to hotels because that was the closest I came to having the quintessential perfect AirBnB experience. Any halfway decent hotel has better service, better beds, better climate control, better everything pretty much.

We aren't. And, as an industry, we have managed to convince ourselves that's a good thing. Agile methodologies, after all, are an attempt at making such efforts unimportant.
