I mostly find The Economist to be propaganda, for example they try to frame energy vs covid because they always want to disparage "green energy" and covid safety measures. That's their bias, I find it to be really grating but hey to each their own. What I would have liked to have seen in this article was a breakdown of the causes of death.

It seems like the implication is that energy costs caused people to freeze to death, or at least keep the temperature low and... get more sick? I guess? Not sure. But since energy prices are tied to everything else, how much of these excess deaths were knock-on effects of high energy prices affecting the costs of goods and subsequently human behavior? I would be curious to see a breakdown of the effects because it's hard for me to believe that people are just freezing to death because they can't afford $100/month extra on their electricity bills. Maybe this is true, but I would like to see a breakdown of the causes of death for each person.

One of the things that came to mind is the idea that let's say there's some percentage of people on the verge of suicide on any given day. Could an extra $100/mo on their utility bill, or the inflation from high energy prices, have enough of an effect that they kill themselves?

I think this would be a more interesting analysis than "herp derp energy production is more important than covid safety", especially when the easy argument against the effect of energy costs on an individual is that expensive energy is only relevant when consumers pay for it directly. If the state subsidizes energy production then (assuming no blackouts) nobody is going to freeze to death (which they hinted at in their article, but didn't realize the end conclusion that a nationalized energy sector makes energy costs largely irrelevant to the individual).

Personally I don't really care either way, but I think this post sucks and I don't see why it's so high up.
It's not a secret but few people appear to know this: Digi-Key has an order process with free shipping anywhere in the US. Fill out their order form[1] and mail it in with a check and, as per their "terms and conditions"[2], shipping is free.

Great deal if you're not in a hurry. I've read that this is intended for hobbyists and others that need small quantities; Digi-Key started out selling to hams and other low volume customers 50 years ago and, apparently they still value this customer base.

"When a check or money order accompanies your order, Digi-Key pays all shipping and insurance (our choice for method of shipping) to all addresses in the U.S. and Canada."
It's not stealing. They get into this business knowing that adblockers are a thing and are fully legal. Most of them even shill ads inside their video like shady VPNs.

It might not be so ethical but it's not illegal, which is what stealing is.
But you have no problem at all using their services for free?
That’s a shame that they’re apparently a bit pushy (I have Premium so don’t see any of that), because it’s been 100% worth it in my experience. I feel I get more than enough value from YouTube Premium to have it for myself, whereas Netflix I would cancel if I didn’t share it with my parents and two siblings. If they crack down on password sharing, it will go and YT will stay…
Its about discoverability more than access. Access/hosting is just the expensive part.
How is this company still in business?
I didn't mean to argue that everything generated is incorrect. But in my experience, the numbers it generates seem closer to random guesses. If you ask it enough times, it sometimes converges on a number, but I don't think that means it's an accurate value. I was able to make it generate a similar table for the different PaLM 2 sizes, and laMDA, and it listed, PaLM 2 Gecko 137 billion, PaLM 2 Otter 540 billion, PaLM 2 Bison 1.8 trillion, PaLM 2 Unicorn 5.4 trillion, LaMDA 137 billion. For Unicorn, it also lists "Still under development."

Edit: Playing around with it more and it listed WuDao 2.0 1.75 Trillion, Chinchilla 175B, Codex 175B, Dalle2 1.3B, GPT4 1.75T, GPT3.5 540B, GPT3 175B, GPT2 1.37B, GPT 1.3B.

But in the previous question it listed GPT4 540 billion and Codex 5.4 trillion among other contradictions.
YouTube costs a lot, and even that because it can rely on Google's amazing infrastructure which is optimised to the core. There is no billionaire who can even cover 10 years of YouTube costs.
> I don't want to live like that. I want a car, maybe two for my family so that we can go where we want when we want. I want a home large enough to entertain friends, host holidays, and house my children. I want a yard with grass, and I want to spend my saturday mornings mowing it. And I think that's exactly what most other Americans want.

Cool, whatever, but people trying to enforce that on everyone else is exactly what's landed us in the current hellscape of wildly overpriced homes everywhere people want to actually live, because everything is zoned to only allow single family homes and as it turns you can't actually physically fit enough of those to cover the demand for everyone who wants to live in most big cities.
How can the year-on-year number be lower than expected if the month-on-month number is in line with expectations?
no need to copy/paste the article here
Ehh the problem with this is that I don't block YT ads (I watch on a tablet), but I am still constantly bombarded (and I mean that) with full-page click-through ads, banners and in-feed blocks trying to get me to buy Premium.

YouTube, I'm watching your pre-roll and mid-roll ads like you want me to, so leave me the fuck alone with this premium shit, I'm not interested.

So it's not an "either-or" scenario.. If you are using the ad-supported experience, they still disrupt it (many times a session for me) with UI-interfering elements to try to convert you. And that sucks.
The vast majority of those Jenkins CVEs seem to be for a wide variety of plugins, so it seems someone is putting in quite a bit of work to review them.
YouTube premium is the definition of paying to watch ads.

If you want to skip ads your option is to block ads, not to buy premium
> pretty thoughtfully planned

Depends on your goals, eh?

> What kind of businesses could this realistically support, a 7-11?

That's kind of my point, they built a pile of houses and nothing else. Even the yards are abbreviated.

> a ditch

I played in the area that was destroyed to make way for this development as a kid, and calling it "a ditch" does it a disservice. It was thick with life. It was part of a wildlife corridor. I remember all the skunks and raccoons and even possums that wandered the neighborhood when they razed that area.

Now it's people-lockers.

There was no particular reason why this parcel had to be developed. The developers must have gotten a good fixer, greased the right palms, and made a quick buck. Park Merced up the street (the "few apartment towers") has been trying to rebuild for two decades? There's plenty of room to build w/o destroying wildlife habitat.

> a core of elitism

Who me? If anything the people buying these houses are the elite, surely?
How is this phone far above market rate? Which competing products with equivalent functionality are far below it?

My $25/mo for life youtubetv subscription is now up to $80/mo. I'm regretting that now, but also kind of stuck because I have family members on the account.

I'm definitely not signing up for youtube premium.
"I guarantee you this is going to be a batch of older workers"

AKA expensive ones, so maybe.

"AI is new and fresh. It is the domain of younger employees."

Is that supposed to be sarcasm?
139.7mm x 79.5mm
Just imagine, they would remove the crap in the middle and sell it for a reasonable price.
Finally an android flagship with proper sizing and GrapheneOS.
That is correct, and sometimes such free services go away if they don't make money in the long term. I don't want the same to happen to YouTube.
The Pixel 7 Pro body is 162.9 x 76.6 mm, giving it an area of 12,478 mm^2. The Pixel Fold body is 139.7 x 158.7 mm, giving it an area of 22,170 mm^2. So the area of the folding phone is almost twice the size! This was surprising to me since, as you say, the diagonal lengths are similar. Of course, it's due to the Fold having a more square shape.

Caveat: this is measuring the size of the phone itself, not the screens, since that was easier to find.
A fully lock free allocator would be a huge result by itself: you would be able to allocate from a signal handler, or having truly lock free algorithms that do not need custom allocators, or avoid deadlock prone code in tricky parts like dlclose...

But I guess this was only one part and malloc wouldn't be fully lockfree.

In any case the lockfree mallocs designs I have seen use NxN queues to shuffle buffers around, but I guess it would be unsuitable for a generic malloc.
Sure, plenty out there exist. However, it's not always the doctor but hospital admins that tighten the screws.

Doctors may care about treating patients, but hospitals only care about one thing -- money. Pressuring doctors into pursuing unnecessary treatments are one of many ways hospitals try to increase revenue.
> better consensus protocols (my expertise!)

As it is your domain of expertise, can you give more details on the new/improved ones please?
I have not kept up with the latest on captcha technology, but isn't novelty a valid strategy? Just create a revolving door of weird games.
It's driven purely by jealousy and an intrinsic sense of "fairness" that isn't very logical when you step back and think for a second. I've met plenty of people like this. They aren't thinking about how it's weird to want a terrible team at a terrible company to have a perfectly fair hiring process, and also imply that _they_ should be hired for this awful job as well. It's entirely looking at the price tag and being jealous. In other words, typical Blind culture.
When Alphabet stops holding up their end of the bargain, I'll stop paying them money. A pretty standard business/customer relationship.

> The legal requirements governing their behaviour are such that they have to ensure that of all the participants in a transaction, they win biggest and most often.

This always makes me laugh. They may be the minority, but public companies like Costco and Target who prioritize employees and company longevity do exist.
Their CEO just got hundreds of millions of dollars as a bonus. I don't think their infrastructure costs are that big of a worry for them.

I admire your decisiveness on the email branding. I own a few domains I could use for such a thing, but I'm still trying to figure out the best local-part.

Consider the possibilities! Sure, you could go classic and timeless, like yours, with FirstName@. But what about cool and terse, like initial@firstnamelastname.com? Or something unique and artisanal (that will hopefully never get old), like io@firstnamelastname.com?

(I've even seen a few people do hello@firstnamelastname.com, though I could never bring myself to do such a thing.)
They don't have to short term maximize. They can totally decide that they want to maximize their position 100 years from now by making less money crowding out competitors and all shareholders can do is sell the stock.

Heck, just yesterday, the Delaware courts ruled that it was okay for Jack Dorsey to spend $306MM of shareholder money so he could drink with Jay-Z. (It was to buy Tidal, but Tidal was obviously a bad purchase).

I think people are more willing to pay via Patreon because it directly funds the creators. The more YouTube takes, the less willing people are to pay.
No idea. I didn't follow the trial. But one of the things I was originally responding to was "even Sheeran played them as a live medley" which is only relevant in the context of a performance, not a composition.
I don't misunderstand it. I know the facts in C#. But the Go proposal is different. The proposed change is for both "for;;" loops and "for-range" loops.
I've been using ChatGPT to generate recipes both for things I already cook, and for things I'm new to cooking and testing the result against what I find online.

So far it's a good cook! There are times when an ingredient appears in different amounts than I'd expect (like 1c of oil for a 4c/flour taralli recipe) but overall it's comparable to the quality of human written recipes, and better than many.
It's a relief, especially the arrows.
See, for example, the Japanese zoning plans that a lot of progressives in the US are in love with, which amount to setting a maximum density/nuisance level for a fairly large area and letting people just build whatever as long as it falls within that bound.
Sure, this question's probably pretty basic. Why draw it out with paths and all that instead of something like the following? Do SVG text elements not scale well?

<svg>
<text class="logo">Y</text>
</svg>

Or even just <span class="logo">Y</span> with the style providing color and border.

And the arrows could be text too: 🞁 and 🞃.

Just curious about why even make them images, given the note that "everything else is text, and scaled perfectly!"
It's indeed infuriating how these services try to cram TikTok style crap down our throats.

The stupid thing is: they try to get more popular than TikTok. How the hell do they expect to become popular with users that don't want this stuff? I'm not on TikTok, I hate YouTube shorts and Instagram reels. Just allow me to turn that shit off and I'll be a lot happier and use the service more because it's not pushing me away.

How do they think forcing it on unwilling users is in any way beneficial??
Some site off X free articles per month. Can't YT do the same? Along the same lines, if there are heavy TY users, can't they be ad'ed more than average?

The point being, it's hard to want to pay for the no-ads experience when you rarely if ever get to experience it and/or your YT usage is not that often.
I guess the reasoning is that Youtube has a way larger catalog while Netflix's catalog is comparatively small. I don't really think this really a legitimate reason though, given that most social media has huge power laws, that is it's likely that 99% of each day's views are for a very tiny number of videos comparable to the size of Netflix's catalog.

Yes, for the remaining 1% youtube has to provide some central service, but that's just a small fraction of their traffic, and if they run into cost problems there they just increase the size of the caches at the ISPs, or introduce layered caching (one for each continent, then one for each ISP, etc). They probably do all of that already.

Storing those huge amount of videos that get maybe 1 view per decade each, that's a different challenge, but I wouldn't say the traffic is. But I don't know youtube's data maybe there is no power law in effect for them, idk.
Thanks for sharing. We think about this problem a lot - basically "how do we allow seamless access to the 'mission critical tool' while stopping the 'weapons grade distraction', because our digital environments have both.

We built a chrome extension that is available for premium users to that eliminates the distracting social feeds on sites, but keeps the useful parts of them. So you can still search and reply to messages on Linkedin, for example, you just won't see the feed. Our main focus is the iPhone app right now, so we haven't been loud about it as a part of our core offering but you may find it useful. Give it a shot here and see if it's helpful. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clearspace/geebjpi...
An inch in aspect ratio is a relatively large change, considering it entails ~70% of an inch in both dimensions. It would be better to compare screen area or vertical and horizontal dimensions separately, to get a clear picture of the difference.
No kidding. The slightest issue with a medication, and every doctor I have seen starts foaming at the mouth, "I can prescribe X to help with that."

Then before you know it, you have to take a pill to take a pill. Then down the road, you have to take a pill to take a pill to take a pill.

I'm no medical Calvinist either, but I am not sure that polypharmacy should be the end goal if it can be avoided.
Right now, but if information becomes a serious obstacle for Google/AI platforms in general, it would easily spend billions to ensure control.

It's not as if Google is a stranger to hiring experts to keep them away from other places!
IIRC YouTube Premium also comes with YouTube Music, which coming from a former Google Music user, the plan was a no-brainer.

If YT Music great? Well, no but it's fine. It has my music, podcasts and decent recommendation algorithm. Paired that with commerical free YT and it's a stellar offer.
Am I the only one who saw the first picture on the article and immediately thought: hell yeah, that's a fake CEO! ?
I was thinking of a 1970 Dodge Dart, which last I checked was $21,000 in 2021 dollars; compared to the price of an average new car today ~42K.

That today's average car might have more features is true; but for many of these features, you're not allowed to forego them in favor of a new, decontented, cheaper car.
1TB iPhone pro max is $1,600, not $1,700.
It makes no sense to pay for YouTube premium when you can use ad blockers. Which is why google is removing that option.
Aside from anything specific to Mouser,

How does a large business keep its (usually commission-oriented) sales organization from reverting to such completely pathological and short-sighted behavior for "small" customers?

I put "small" in quotes, because it's entirely likely that today's college student will be next year's engineer recommending parts for new designs.

Digi-Key never seemed to lose touch with their origin selling to radio hobbyists.

It is stealing. You're stealing the bandwidth from the company, and you're stealing the commission for video play from the content creator.
The people who made those "world shifting" products at Google back in the day are long gone.

Google is in the post-MBA-invasion phase where they are focused on value extraction from their market dominance and existing products, not in taking big risks and building big new things.

i.e. They did a speedrun of the IBM playbook in record time.

(Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit here, lots of good people still at Google, but the Google that made the products you're referring to doesn't exist anymore - look elsewhere for that stuff).
If Google didn’t have such a abysmal business model to start with, this wouldn’t be an issue.

They offered services for free without providing the disclaimer.

The attention economy is a toxic poison, I think more people than you realise are now aware of this and are less likely to pay for something Google offers because of it.

I don’t hate Google, but they’ve eroded a lot of trust.
It feels unsurprising that Bitcoin moves more when markets are open and stuff is happening in the finance world.
Dunno about you but the (only) local grocery store in the small W.Australian town where I live is owned in majority by the local community who hold shares and see the books - the employees and store manager (all locals) get paid well and money is set aside for growth and infrastructure investment after which everything goes back to keeping prices low and supporting local farmers | business.
Of course, another question there is, how much of that is the result of local zoning and permitting processes banning all the stuff that people actually like? I know I've seen a lot of complaints about basic stuff with stairs, windows, and bedroom sizes in older plans that have been rendered illegal by newer zoning.
Why? Does Google need to be making a higher profit than it already does? Does YouTube deserve the extra money? For what reason should we pay?
the end is nigh. tragic, but inevitable. adblockers are the only thing that make YT worth using. honestly hard to imagine ever going back to that site once adblockers are kaput.
I went with “hello”,”contactme”, and “contact”
Corporations depend on consumers for their existence. The value they are trying to maximize depends on a functioning supply chain and global economy. So corporations can't outright kill all humans.

That symbiotic relationship and constraints aren't really present in an AI the way they are described.
I don’t pay for it because it’s pointless when you can use an ad blocker. This change would flip the situation.
My big problem with paying for Youtube is I have a workspace account for my personal domain. None of their services inter-operate with workspace services. For example, our Google Home. My wife cannot register her voice with the system because she has a 'google account' not an account on my workspace. Because of this, our Home will regularly deny her the ability to listen to "age restricted" podcasts about cooking (they sometimes swear omg). Similarly, if I pay for Youtube, I cannot "share with my family" unless they are also on my workspace.

Clearly, the solution is for me to create another google account to use for these services and only use my workspace account for one thing. But then why am I paying Google to host my workspace account? Should I pay them _MORE_ for my wife and children to also be on my workspace, as well as paying for Youtube? (don't worry, I'm working on migrating off workspaces too).

(and fwiw, I paid for youtube premium for years, and watch hours of youtube content a day)
Except for decades, and even still, this world exists. I don't think anyone asked for sympathy.

It is just not possible unless you have too few views (and that is ignoring all the tech know how required which is so so far beyond the average person). Look at this Vimeo example (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28547578)
Not even Europe, more a bunch of elites like the European Commission and governments. The Europeans who have been impacted most by Europe joining the war are the same who didn't have any choice in it, specifically the poorest that can't afford to keep up with energy prices in order to keep their house warm.

At the same time the elites who filled their mouths with words like "sacrifice" are those who didn't have to change their lifestyle in the slightest.

It reminds of the tightest COVID lockdowns, rich people would post videos from their mansions/villas telling people who lived cramped in flats to stay home and be responsible.
as a person who has daily driven a fold for almost 2 years the "crease" is a complete non-problem when you are using it. its mostly just people who havent actually used it that complain about it because they heard some influencer complaining about it or they saw a picture someone took of it with a studio light blasting down on it at the perfect angle.
