> Alphabet Inc., the company that owns YouTube, reported that the decrease marks the third consecutive year the social media platform faced a decline in ad revenue.

They don't even try to say it's because of YouTube Premium smashing success ;)
I've been paying for it for years despite running multiple layers of adblock, because I use it a lot and they actually give me the option to pay (and apparently it's a fairly good deal for content creators too). I figure that if my ideal internet is an ad-free one, I ought to put my money where my mouth is. TANSTAAFL.
Discoverability is such a thing. For example, which of these do I want?:

man systemd.{exec,unit,service}

It's not too bad to get a general feel for what's possible, but recalling where is frustrating. These three are so closely related they're notable. Others, like timers, are a little more obvious.

I'm also hanging on to my OP5 on Lineage. Always keeping an eye out for a replacement:

* runs Lineage,

* dual SIM,

* not enormous,

* headphone jack (nice to have).

There's nothing out there.
That seems high. Someone your weight would generally only burn about 750 kcal on that workout.
I would assume that network traffic and server costs are negligible to Google.

In my opinion, what they are looking for is not to cut down the costs but to increase the revenue. Either by more people watching ads or by more people using their paid service.
I don't know about bitcoin but for Ethereum, many big mixers were funded by advocates for privacy. So there is deniability if you mix your illegal proceeds with legimate ones. It's not much different from cash in a way.

It's also possible to remove the link to mixer if you bridge on the Ethereum side. So you would have a wallet with a different currency with no link back to where it came from.

Yeah, most of the creators I really care about are on Nebula or I'm already paying them through Patreon. I'll happily pay for content, just not Google.
It boggles my mind how such an efficiency powerhouse can be that bad.

I live in Switzerland and although I am not involved in trains, what Swiss do aint magic, just simple following the rules, and rules they do. Maybe even less efficient than Germans at the end.

I really dont see any difference with Germany on the ground, yet when I look at Germany's politicians and their actions, at least the public part leaves a lot to be desired. Rather then the question becomes how come this country is actually economically so successful? Certainly not due to perfect environment for private businessess.
But then the 486 DX has a floating-point unit, while the 486 SX does not. So Intel just went with DX is better than SX.
Aren't we already at the whim of "ideologues" who care about their top-down control agenda? Isn't that necessarily what, like, a given nation's government is in our world?

I don't believe you that you can't get a job, sorry. This is the best job market in my lifetime for laborers. My roommate, who hasn't worked in 10 years, got the very first job she applied for, no questions asked, $17/hour with tips, prepping food at a restaurant.

There are an enormous number of job openings like this.

I recently discovered that US Congressional votes used to be "anonymous" in the sense that the vote COUNTS would be public but who voted for what was kept secret.

The voting was then changed so that actual votes where made public in favor of more transparency. While it did indeed make the vote more open and visible to the public, it had the effect of showing lobbyists exactly which members of Congress were voting for and against the lobbyists' interests. This in turn led to funding going to the pro-lobby Congress members and the vicious cycle accelerates.

This video lecture goes into much more detail about the process and the impact that this had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz27n1tNNMg

As a post script, I forget if it's in the video or somewhere else but experiments in real political bodies (I believe it was the Italian parliament) with both a public and secret vote for the same legal bill led to two completely different outcomes.
This makes a lot of assumptions in the same way that "pirating loses game companies money" - yes but its not always clear cut or an exact science. Pirating was also a big factor of Minecraft's initial popularity.

What if adblockers contribute to a video going viral? Or even sharing a video with family/friends who may not have an adblocker installed? What if I'm a content creator who uses adblock and now I share my content elsewhere? What if I'm a content creator primarily funded by Patreon and many of my viewers were adblock users and I move to another platform to retain my patrons and now YouTube loses money on all my subscribers who weren't adblockers? What if enough people are exiled that the go to place to watch new videos is no longer YouTube but Vimeo or another competitor? Social media sites rely pretty heavily on network effects and if enough users leave (Myspace, Digg) a competitor will fill the space (Facebook, Reddit).

The gamble here is that more people will subscribe than people who will leave. Which is likely true but it could have knock on effects.

it's almost as if it isn't true that it's an efficiency powerhouse
So your answer is, “Google has always done this free tier so I’m entitled to it forever.”

Were both know ZIRP ended, no need to try and ignore the economic climate just because you’re angry and Google sucks.

I agree this sucks, but it’s not realistic to just ignore the issue until YouTube is shut down due to money loss. I would prefer a different solution, also, but like I said, I’m not going to say I know how.
Actually most of the capacity problems on cable networks come from upstream congestion; not downstream congestion and this has nearly always been the case. When the upstream gets congested TCP ACKs get dropped and it kills download speed.

Upstream has always been challenging on coax. The first cable modems didn't even use the coax for upstream, instead it used a separate dial up modem.

I'm not entirely sure of the details but even after that DOCSIS has always had to use much lower frequency channels for upstream which are much more limited vs downstream which tends to use higher frequencies. Potentially because it was hard to get high frequency transmitting upstream low cost CPE devices back in the day?
Tories are a disgusting bunch, they found out being against ULEZ was a vote winner so now they've gone "We love cars!", naked manouvering in hopes of winning those votes and staying in power.

Just like Brexit, the fuckwit Goehring but dumb Nigel Farage was going to steal Tory votes, so dumb dumb Cameron promised the Brexit vote to keep those votes. And he was too chickenshit to ignore the results of the referendum although the government was allowed to do so (again, for the price of electoral annihilation).
Popular creators can slowly move their audience to PeerTube by releasing videos on the latter a day earlier. AFAIK most of their income comes from sponsorship insets anyway.
In what industry are Kalman filters ridiculed?
Drugs and PKD are really inseparable. Even putting aside them being a common feature of his stories, his writing process was to lock himself in a shed for a week, do a bunch of amphetamines and crank out a story. It certainly didn’t help either that his paranoia about being monitored by spy agencies and such turned out to be true.

That said, Scanner is one of his later works after he stopped abusing drugs. The book is fully about what his habit did to him and many of his friends. In the preface, he eulogizes a long list of people he knew that ended up dead or permanently injured due to their habits. There is more than one reason the narcotic in the book is called Substance D — and the D is short for death. But, when contrasted with the drugs in his other works (e.g., Can-D in Three Stigmata), the drug does not offer a necessary escape from the monotony of life in a dark, ultra-capitalist future nor does it get linked to religion (either as a replacement for it or as a kind of gnostic guide to the truth). It just destroys people physically and mentally. The latter happens at a truly deep level where the ego / identity of a user rots away to nothing over time. While this happens quite literally, it’s clear that this is him bemoaning the ego death of his friends as their personalities were just replaced by the drugs. The characters in Scanner all seem like real tweakers PKD knew throughout his life and they come across the most vibrant on the page compared to those in the other works of his I read. This novel isn’t just a desperate (albeit often brilliant) attempt at getting money for Dick’s next high. It is him reflecting on the life choices he and people he knew made over the years and bemoaning what their drug habits took from them.
What if Google bought Patreon and integrated it directly into YouTube?
I happen to take this train on a regular basis, and it is reliably delayed :-).

Conveniently, my connecting train is also usually sufficiently delayed so that I do not miss it.
I've heard about this for months now but I only recently started seeing it.

I use Brave browser and followed their suggestion to turn on the "aggressive" setting, but it doesn't get around this.

I believe as they roll out this "feature" to more people you'll get hit by it.
KFs, and more generally state observer systems, are widely used in the field of control systems.

I know someone with a PhD in control systems, works for an eVTOL startup, and their title is something like "estimation expert" or "estimation specialist". That is, 100% of their job is designing relatively complex KF-like algorithms that are used to estimate the aircraft state (position, pose, velocity, wind conditions, etc) in real time based on a bunch of sensors.

I think structuring is splitting a transaction to evade reporting requirements?

Then it's not entirely the same thing. Mixers don't do that to avoid reaching some reporting threshold but to make transactions less identifiable. If 100 people send $1M to the mixer each, mixer sends $1M to 100 destinations, and since all the amounts are the same you can't easily tell who wanted what destination.

Good timing for IntelliJ IDEs to promote their "Import from Postman" plugin. While it is decent tool for typical applications, I ran into an issue when I tried authenticating using Kerberos. Yes, I know, that Microsoft thing will probably never be supported, but looking at IntelliJ issues, it seems that it was working some time ago, probably before old HTTP request UI was dropped.

Sorry, I meant relative to fibre. I'm sure there will be DOCSIS 4.1 getting another 20% out of the plant, and various other small incremental improvements. Whereas really there is no reason you couldn't have terabit-PON systems.

None really -- I had a small social circle and went to college in the town I grew up in, folks moved away. My family is homophobic and abusive -- I just had one of my family members make a show of giving me an Aldi's gift card and deny remembering a Halloween parade where one of the mafia types I had voted out of office wandered the parade handing out fifty cent pieces to children.

Its weird too because the ad-player doesn't like you scrub the timeline or go forward-back. So even if it was an interesting ad you can't go back or interact at all. Its so similar to a late-night infomercial and unlike a YT video its uncanny.
It is time to build a better YouTube Ad Blocker!
The vast majority of the stuff I watch on YouTube would get made without any monetisation. I'm talking about people making videos of their hobbies or crafts etc. I have no interest at all in the videos that only exist because of the money (like mindless waste of bandwidth like Mr Beast etc). I don't want 4K, 3D or any of that crap. Blogs etc, including images, have been available for free for 20 years at least. I'm convinced that by now after decades of bandwidth improvements etc we'd have free videos in the same way. But Google went the monopoly route with YouTube. I will not reward them for that.
Depends where you want to place the emphasis. "Pixel Art Ukiyo-e" places the focus on the primary medium being pixel art, and it's use to recreate ukiyo-e. The other way round is equally valid but changes the primary emphasis to Ukiyo-e, which was undesirable for me.
The EU governments (Germany, France, etc.) has become so extremely authoritative, that this truly might be true.
I have never seen moot as "open to debate" in everyday conversation or printed material. It's always meant no longer relevant, in my personal experience.

I wonder if the "open to debate" meaning is an older one that's fallen out of use, or used in certain technical fields (e.g. law), or depends on geography (e.g. British).

Almost every explainer I have ever seen on Kalman filters starts with something like this:

"Let's begin with an intuitive example: think of a thermostat as it adjusts to the temperature. Got that example? Good! Next here is some advanced linear algebra to help make it more intuitive"

Has anyone comes across an explanation of Kalman filters that doesn't immediately dive into the math?

How can I upvote this enough.. Luckily, often the timestamp is visible as a tooltip.
Case in point: When you browse npm versions of packages, it will date them with "version 5.3.27 was released 'about a year ago' craziness. ARE YOU PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR BLOODY MIND?
i am browsing through older packages to figure out the order they were released in, to sketch a pinning of compatible packages to form a build configuration, and 20 sequential packages are reported as 'about a year ago', requiring me to tooltip each one to figure out which ones are too recent to use.. The crayon eating has gotten out of hand.

In the US, ISPs are usually pretty good about offering what they promise in terms of speeds. It is shared, but basically everything on the internet is shared. Even if you have fiber to your house, that fiber is ending up in a central office somewhere that then only has a certain amount of bandwidth to the rest of the internet.

ISPs like Xfinity are splitting nodes so that you aren't sharing the link with many people before you're on fiber and oversell ratios are pretty well understood at this point (and apply to all ISPs whether the wire coming to your house is shared or it just becomes shared farther upstream).

A municipal broadband network in my area has a 2Gbps connection to the wider internet and offers 1Gbps service to people's homes/businesses and that 2Gbps serves several hundreds. Clearly, not everyone could get gigabit service off that at the same time, but people's traffic is typically bursty.

The internet itself is shared at different points even if the wire to your house isn't shared. If you have dedicated fiber running from the central office to your house and then the central office only has X Gbps to the rest of the internet, you're still on a shared link regardless of how dedicated things are between you and the central office.

In addition to the more um holistic and wholesome texts recommended here, also skim "Who's Got the Monkey" [1]

The cargo-cult mimicry approach -- Just telling people to do something, then supporting them as they muddle through it -- can get you surprisingly far. "Support" includes pairing with them / being available for support / writing documentation if something's consistently unclear / good reviews / etc., basically resolving the delta between what they have and what you want.

Also assigning and designing work that balances pedological value and blast raduis, which is case by case. E.g. junior Dev gets the design of a new system which is isolated, loosely coupled, and has no tight deadline; senior gets to debug a critical outage; senior gets a time critical important new system with many integrations; junior gets adding a new SQL backed api endpoint that looks like the others, etc.

Soon enough your minions will have a better understanding than you, and you will then have the opposite problem of feeling incompetent and wondering how to regain your comprehensive understanding of what's going on.

> German trains stop at the first Swiss station, when they finally arrive, and people gave to switch trains.

It's not just German trains. The Swiss are rather strict about train punctuality (more than 2 min is not accepted if memory serves), and if an international train would cause delays, the Swiss put on their own train on regular schedule and halt the tardy train at the border.
keep on pushing it, I really hope it takes off!
> if I can code in bash and python

I'm sorry to reverse the take a bit here, but what makes you think that these
qualifications deserve a job as an SWE? These aren't sought after languages - pretty much anyone with a pulse and three working brain cells can be a python programmer these days (no offense to any professional python devs here, but I doubt your main qualification in your CV is "python programmer"). It's the same for bash.

Do you have any formal education? Qualifications? A degree?
>you can not specify what content that URL provides.

You've always been able to change how the content that was sent is displayed. And browsers literally shipped with HTML editors in them for decades. What do you think night mode is in a browser? Reader mode? Etc. It has always been a thing that browsers changed what they displayed. But now for-profit interests and those who's livelyhood depends on them are trying to re-write history. Mostly so they can force attestation and be sure their spying and ads work.

Don't be part of it.
You should really say that many of the users here work for companies entirely dependent on advertising. Its not that we are rich and can afford to pay to not see ads, its that we are rich because of ads!.

Nevertheless I believe that we can hate ads personally. It does hurt. But the truth does that sometimes. It's better than not acknowledging it and leads to better outcomes. The ideology gets the light of truth.
I know nothing of the space, could you go into the opex a bit? I naively assume that once the wire is in the ground, all of the maintenance is in powering routers + staff + recovery when a backhoe inadvertently cuts a line.

How do coax and fiber differentiate themselves on long-term costs?

It’s called geo engineering and problems would include:

1) ocean acidification

2) a sky white rather than blue

3) severely alerted rain patterns

4) a very sharp positive climate transient if for some reason you stop doing it

5) etc etc

Also most climate scientists we simply cannot control a system that chaotic

Also, injecting sulphuric acid at large scale in the atmosphere might not be such a great idea.

That is way too complex a question to answer here. If you really want to dig into it including exercise, nutrition, sleep, and medications then the new book "Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity" by Dr. Peter Attia is a pretty good summary of what we currently know.

>They are not building more autobahn!!!

Doch, Alter. The German federal government and at least 3 top parties are completely captured by the auto industry, so we're tearing down neighborhoods to extend urban freeways in Berlin: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesautobahn_100

And the FDP scored the transport ministry in the traffic-light coalition, so of course there announced a plan to extend a bunch of highways: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/plans-fast-track-expans...

I don’t think that YouTube Premium is a great offer. I won’t pay $19 every month. That is $228 a year! No, thank you. If there was a smaller tier around $5 with a limited number of ad-free videos, I might consider it. But there’s already way more content out there I could ever read, listen to or watch. $19 is steep.
