Cost is certainly a consideration, but not the only consideration that matters (not to me, at any rate).

The issue of private- vs public-run projects is complicated by culture. There's a vicious cycle / virtuous circle that happens in a given society. In a place where government projects have a bad reputation (of being wasteful and substandard), it makes it difficult for government projects to succeed.

That's a long way of replying to you that you're probably correct about cost-overruns in most nations - but I don't believe it has to be that way. You can probably predict the nations I'd trot out that do a better job.

At any rate, where Youtube is concerned, I'd sooner government be in charge, regardless of cost. I don't see Youtube ever making the public good its primary focus - not if its front page, recommendations, or comments section are any indication.
Is there a difference worth talking about?

People who claim to be progressive are so because to claim otherwise would invite significant social stigma. It's all lip service. Sure, if we were talking 15 yr olds, maybe those are true believers... but they don't tend to get elected to city councils and zoning boards.
These days, I'll happily not use a service/ product/ whatever if I have to pay for it.

But YouTube Premium, ad free, is wonderful. I bought it for my parents because they watch a lot of niche stuff. But now that I have it, it's worth even the crazy price increase (to like, $22/mo or something).

I like it better than Netflix/ Disney+/ HBO Max, as it's half entertainment, half educational (whereas the other streaming services are more entertainment and often doesn't keep me interested in spite of their catalogues).
nonsense. these are not anywhere in the top hundred issues with the service.

workspace accounts are irrelevant to 99.99% of normal users. google hasn't encouraged using workspace accounts for consumer use for like ten years. the only place people care is on hacker news.

it works across almost all devices.
Seems pretty slow actually. Also the search is poor, the player is buggy, and some videos wouldn’t play at all because of format issues.
Respectfully, this anecdote does nothing to refute the point.

There are an uncountable number of variables which could have resulted in your experience that have nothing to do with Target's (or Walmart's) high level corporate strategies.

That said, I am sorry that it was your experience. Working for bad bosses sucks big time.
You can save even more time by using SponsorBlock. I believe premium only gives you fake downloading -- you can't take it out of their app (correct me if I'm wrong). In contrast yt-dlp gives you direct access to the files.

(6) Robey* Pointer, and I was the third guy in the room… We had already chosen the Yahoo! “Feeding Frenzy” design at that point, had started the design using Redis based on experience I gained at an previous company, and were working out the data structures using what was available in Redis, as I recall. We put together a few PRs against Redis shortly thereafter to make Redis a practical option for Haplocheirus in production.

There’s more to say of course, but we appreciated having these sorts of conversations with upstream authors of software we adopted at Twitter whenever possible.

This exactly, but even one step further - it’s time consuming and expensive to produce the videos themselves! Who’s going to create quality content if they can’t get paid for it?! This is the major value YouTube provides. They bridge the gap between consumers who don’t want to pay with producers that NEED to get paid.

Want free peer to peer streaming? Hard to build a content ecosystem on that.

Are they actually making money off youtube? I almost doubt it. In any case I feel it might help to work against the shittification of the internet. Or maybe it doesn't, but at least it feels right.
Yeah but that energy as electricity produces work... which produces waste heat. You end up with the same amount of heat as you do an equally black surface just getting hot.

There's no escaping it, but fortunately all that heat gets radiated into space already on the dark side keeping the heat capture at net neutral, once the thermal reserve increases from decreased albedo of course.
That's the thing about cost though. It doesn't matter until it grows big enough and then it starts mattering a lot.
See my other comment, but yes, we met with antirez at Twitter HQ (on 3rd and Folsom at the time).
I'm not even objecting to it. I just was asking for context around the use of that term. I've found sufficient context. It's a combination of the fact that most people don't see a (big) distinction between lapsed mormon and other terms like ex-mormon and there being previous articles using the term lapsed mormon about her.

But yes, that is precisely why I don't use that term for myself. I didn't just drift away from the church, at first. Later on I drifted away from the lifestyle, but that was after I stopped going to church, and I stopped going to church because even after asking clergy and my family I couldn't resolve issues with my faith.
1. Fiction. This is where your myth, hero's journey, etc comes in. Elon Musk read lots of sci-fi growing up.

2. History. This is also a trick answer - much of history is fiction, especially autobiographies.

Motivational coaches use one or the other. Often stories of themselves. Sometimes of specific people. It's part myth, but don't question it too much or you'll lose the buzz.

A practical approach is also reading stories of people in similar situations. Lots of documentaries and books on tech giants or people like John Carmack & Romero. Startup School videos got me motivated through 100-hour weeks for a year, but after a point you deplete that motivational source.

3. Get into flow. There's specific rules around this [1]. If you want to 'gamify' things, this is how you do it.

> People don't want to pay for half-baked products:

This is disingenuous, to be blunt. People do not block youtube ads because workspace accounts don't work or because Google kills off niche products or that people lose youtube accounts when switching devices. Switching profiles is already considered an inconvenience, due to the way the algorithms tailor so well, regardless of how often you may engage in it.
Brazilian here, the situation around PL 2630 (aka the Fake News bill) is a huge mess.

We absolutely need more oversight over big tech and we had had real violence and threats tied to online radicalisation (like all the death threats to our justices, that time Sara Winter fired fireworks at the supreme court building, and the Jan 8th riots) so something has to be done but our Congress is to slow to lead the charge so we end up having to delegate rule making powers to specialized bodies but this time everyone is afraid of how this new internet [something] board will act as it's brand new and unpredictable.

As for why Google and others are stonewalling things, the answer is a mix of money and ideology. Many of those big tech companies come from the US and their approach to freedom of speech is very very different ours so what we see as business as usual they see as an attack on free speech. On the money part, complying with the new law will be very expensive and nobody likes extra costs.

I drove into SF on a vacation and within two hours had my car broken into in a heavily populated area. I spent the rest of the time that I should have been enriching the city with my tourism dollars on the other side of the bay bridge trying to find glass repair and cleaning glass out of the car while my family sat in a hotel room.

We sent a police report into the void knowing from several other anecdotes that nothing will be done.

We have no interest in going back, and wouldn’t recommend it to others.

How is that healthy for a city?

/? lactic acid atp: https://www.google.com/search?q=lactic+acid+atp

- "What is lactic acid?" https://www.livescience.com/what-is-lactic-acid

> Although blood lactate concentration does increase during intense exercise, the lactic acid molecule itself dissociates and the lactate is recycled and used to create more ATP.

> "Your body naturally metabolizes the lactic acid, clearing it out. The liver can take up some of the lactic acid molecules and convert them back to glucose for fuel," says Grover. "This conversion also reduces the acidity in the blood, thus removing some of the burning sensation. This is a natural process that occurs in the body. Things such as stretching, rolling, or walking will have little to no impact."

> The burning sensation you feel in your legs during a heavy workout probably isn't caused by lactic acid, but instead by tissue damage and inflammation.

> It’s also important to remember that lactate itself isn’t 'bad'. In fact, research in [Bioscience Horizons] suggests that lactate is beneficial to the body during and after exercise in numerous ways. For example, lactate can be used directly by the brain and heart for energy or converted into glucose in the liver or kidneys, which can then be used by nearly any cell in the body for energy.

- https://chem.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_Kentucky/U... :

> Lactic Acid Fermentation: You may have not been aware that your muscle cells can ferment. Fermentation is the process of producing ATP in the absence of oxygen, through glycolysis alone. Recall that glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules, producing a net gain of two ATP and two NADH molecules. Lactic acid fermentation is the type of anaerobic respiration carried out by yogurt bacteria (Lactobacillus and others) and by your own muscle cells when you work them hard and fast.

Is that relevant to cancer and oxygen, IDK.

Hopefully NIRS + ultrasound ("HIFU" & modern waveguides) can inexpensively treat many more forms of cancer.

It will likely be both. Why not have your cake and eat it too? Zuckerberg already set the precedent for an additional large round of layoffs after the first, so I'd be extremely surprised if Microsoft, Google, etc didn't follow suit.
To be bluntly honest it probably has to die and be reborn; die so hard there is nothing left for the homeless so then move elsewhere.

It’s a story that has played out time and time again on small scales in many places, and it’s not particularly unique to SF.
Doing so literally as I type this. I can confirm it works and has for at minimum 5+ years for me.
Off topic for this post. This may sound snarky, but I’m saying in all seriousness. HN needs more people to volunteer their time and effort for free to improve its UX, which has been terrible on mobile/tablets, really bad for accessibility, and so on. All this while retaining the core of HN’s simplicity on any web browser (without extensions or HN specific apps). I’ve been waiting for years to see some change, but now this logo change gives me hope.
If everyone blocked ads, do you think content creators would continue making videos?

If I ski at a resort without a ticket, did the resort lose money? If I jump over a turnstile to get on the subway, did the city lose money? If I sneak into a music festival, did the artist lose money? They're all theft of services.

Cutting off users access unless they do something is not "urging."
> You aren't helping people, though, you're helping a for-profit company earn billions of dollars off your, and other's good will and knowledge.

This has all been played out before. I’m cool helping companies along with people.

Imagine you discover free energy. Would you not give it away because you don’t want billion dollar companies to benefit?

I have a choice to give away info or keep it. Id rather give it away than not. I’m not going to sell info. It’s not worth the time for whatever negligible gains it would make.

Even if there was a magic way to only allow “good people” and not companies to use my info, I’d still allow companies because I think information should be freely given and exchanged and hope that others feel the same.

Imagine where we would be if Linux wasn’t used by billion dollar companies. The world would be way worse. Amazon would be poorer but the world would be much poorer.

Yes correct, for most streamers that I watch, YouTube seems to be an important part of their income. PeerTube will not magically create incentives for people to create content.
How do you feel about the lack of security updates? I miss the smaller size of the 3a bit upgraded since they stopped shipping software updates. I'm hoping you can talk me in to resurrecting it.
Sure. But don't complain when they in turn disable adblocking as if it's some great injustice lol.
Haha, yeah if not using it I wouldn't get the subscription either. After subscribing they actually provide a little page of "Premium benefits enjoyed so far" listing the amount of hours spent watching.

For me it says > 120 hours and I have had the subscription for 4 months. So definitely making use of it.
Isn't slippery slope a logical fallacy? Let's wait until Google does something actually insane before claiming that what they're doing is insane.

Is there a place that has empirical data on this stuff? Like what battery factoids are still true with the latest devices or not?

I would honestly love for phone manufacturers to outright build in some software to build in best practices if they actually exist. Don't let me charge to 100% at first or something!
SF's biggest problem is lack of housing, and SF's housing policies are among the most "conservative" (ie all about keeping the status quo) in the nation.

A lot of "progressive" policies that people are worried about have little actual impact, especially when the price of housing is completely ridiculous and creates so many problems on its own.
Given that’s basically what YouTube is experimenting with, it seems highly likely.
> Cutting off users access unless they do something is not "urging."

The company urges all users to do that, it is also experimenting with doing more than urging. The description quoted was exactly accurate.

Theft is both criminal and civil. If you steal something from me, I can sue you in civil court to recoup the cost, and if it's a significant enough something, then I can also try to file a police report and get the DA to press charges against you. You're right, "prosecution" refers to criminal court, but you know what I meant.
> Perhaps AI features will become browser features instead, complementing websites, not replacing them.

Interesting conclusion.

AI features seem to incur more cost than search (don't they?!)

Wonder how that'll play out - the user is conditioned not to pay
at this point, and the search engine is no longer incentivized to pay for it.
But Is It Atomic
Buying individual company stock is a worse strategy than sector ETFs, especially if it's your own employer.

(Individual stocks have more returns because they're riskier, not because they have more alpha. And you're accepting however much risk you get instead of planning for it - just borrow someone else's money if you like it so much.)

It could be a public service, but people don't like these either.
Donations would also work, but being a publicly-traded for-profit company sort of precludes that, practically.
So, bought subscription for Nebula for year (maybe should have gone woth Curiosity stream bundle).
Fully agree with you there. I can't use the internet without an ad blocker.
I lived in the Mission for 1.5 years and a random dude carrying some sort of radio antenna plucked all of the parts off of my roommate's street parked car that he could yank off. Another day a drug deal went wrong and two guys exchanged bullets for a few minutes in broad daylight right below our window a block from Dolores. We moved to Noe Valley and then a random dude broke into our house by smashing glass and opening the door.

SoMa was definitely the epicenter of "woah" but the "woah" was by no means isolated to that area.

This was all pre-covid - I didn't stick around to see if it would get worse.

I've got hundreds more stories of people getting into fights on my morning train (the J), or just doing strange things to everyone around them while everybody keeps their heads down praying it will end soon so they can just get to work.

SF is undeniably fun and pretty, and honestly an amazing place - I even saw Tim Schafer on my morning train once but didn't want to bother him. However, between the intensity of daily life and the intensity of cost of living I can't recommend it to anyone who isn't a young millionaire, or literally 2 years from that outcome. My favorite parts were the west side like you recommend though.
>Even with standard accounts, it won't work on many devices (eg. TV apps), so you still get ads even as you paid

I really don't think this is true. I can't think of any official YouTube app where this won't work - across mobile devices, smart TVs, streaming boxes/sticks, games consoles.
We are an SaaS provider and customers demand to be hosted in US for various reasons

(a) They think they will get better performance/latency (although in our application it does not matter much)
(b) For various compliance

We had been using co-location so far for US but we don't want to continue this road because of high investment (especially when compared with Hetzner) and higher responsibilities (hardware issues, inventory).
I’m pretty sure you should be able to find data. Only a handful of battery manufacturers used.

Phones typically are geared to use the full capacity of the battery.

The demand towards the thinnest phones possible leaves smaller tolerances towards cramming in the biggest battery possible.

I think the galaxy note 4 was the last one with a removable battery therefore something that could run a long time.

An external battery case depending on how you use it can extend the lifespan of an internal battery too.
I've thankfully not had a bad experience with Mouser, they're generally just fine for us. I do spend a bit more than OP though, so maybe we're in a different service bracket.

I used to prefer Mouser because I thought their site was slightly easier on the eyes, and I felt they were basically interchangeable with Digikey.

A few years ago, I needed about 60 of a very specific, shouldered washer that only Digikey had. It was Friday afternoon and I needed it in Boston ASAP.

I called their support for the first time, with low expectations.

Within a couple hours, they were prepared to put a man from their warehouse on a plane to personally fly these parts to the nearest airport. It wound up being too expensive for the project, but their facility leadership burned multiple hours trying to help solve this problem for me, and I was a very small customer at the time.

After that experience, Digikey gets the lion's share of my orders, which have grown considerably over the years, and they continue to have incredible support, every single time.

They are our first place supplier and we only use alternatives if there is a stock issue, or the price difference is massive.

I've had other vendors try to tell me that Digikey charges too much. But when I get those same vendors to price our BOMs, Digikey is less expensive, has more stock and is far more efficient (e.g., I don't have to call and wait days to place an order and I don't have to order a lifetime supply of everything).

I heard the CEO on a podcast (Adafruit or Pick Place Podcast?) maybe last year sometime, and he
came off as a genuine, nice human being.

Unless they somehow flip 180 degrees, Digikey has earned my business.
My increasing focus on protecting the people who protect our democracy
Yup, prior to the tech boom, SF was not in good shape. Not dying like Detroit, but not really growing either.

25 years ago you didn’t go to Dolores Park because it was a dump. Now Valley was working class, Glen Park was awful.

Now those places are havens for the young and rich.

There is no reason why those times can’t return.

Would you care to give some examples? Anything after hours must be OTC, but traders won’t be on the floor on Saturday and Sunday. I know. I was there. So, who’s going to trade during the weekend? Trades also have to be reported within a certain time. I’m not sure about weekend reporting. It’s a genuine question. Your comments seems more a hearsay than actual experience.
No, that’s way bigger.
Agreed. I just also think living in a knowledgeable society is important. Video could help. Youtube does a terrible job of that. Presumably it's not great economically if a nation is full of dummies.
I'm still working in it, but that's going to be the link.

Trying to make universal components is hard, like, I wanted to make all components available trough a "filter" where you could re-use React.js, Vue.js, Svelt, Solid components with each other. When you think about it, components are just I/O with maybe some libraries. I'm thinking this is field is right for some standardization.
