> Most, but not all of them.

That's fair.

> There is more than a million Palestinians living and working in Israel as its citizens. They hold positions in offices even such as a supreme court judge.

You equate 'Palestine' with 'Palestinians', that's not the same thing. It's on par with equating Israel with Israeli's and many would point out that there is a very important distinction between the two.

> Israel removed all its settlers from Gaza in 2005.

Yes, but they kept on settling more and more area in the West bank and continue to do so even today, almost two decades later. It's akin to removing 'whites' from areas that were to be turned into 'homelands' prior to the establishment of the 'Apartheid' doctrine in South Africa, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantustan , there are a lot of parallels between those and Gaza / West Bank.

> In return it received shelling from Hamas.

In 2005 Hamas was a fringe group and all eyes were on the Palestinian Authority, which Israel has structurally undermined while at the same time supporting Hamas.

> Hamas in not interested in solving anything, having talks about anything or making any kind of compromises.

Neither are the Israeli hardliners who make a lot of policy.
You can, but through layers of abstraction, and UI abstraction layers just complicate everything and lead you into unexpected corners.

>Building a disc to shadow venus is possible today.

News to me.

Just ignoring all the reasons this seems unlikely. Wouldn’t it be constantly pushed away from the sun towards Venus?
The last three paragraphs are on the money. So on the money. The level of conditioned hate is just bizarre.

I have witnessed some truly weird conversations in hypereducated blue-state America. I never say anything, but I always take mental notes.

One example:

So I go out to lunch with this friend, and they invite a friend of theirs. A woman, in her 20s, from an Ivy League school. I'm not sure why we were all having lunch together actually, in retrospect.

Anyway, she's talking about how she has this boyfriend. I think he's in the Air Force or something (which at some level is icky to these people). And she has some time off from her career for some reason, so she has some time. And she's spending a lot of it just being with him, to the point that, she'll cook dinner and stuff. And she implies that she's having a lot of sex with him, and that she's being very giving in all this, and you can tell that at some level she just finds him very attractive and takes pleasure in delighting him (as he, I assume, does likewise in making her happy). Which is basically the description of a good relationship, right?

But she also has to justify this feeling to herself -- that she likes making her boyfriend happy. And she has to justify to herself that she's doing things like cooking dinner that, on the one hand, she's voluntarily chosen to do, but that, on the other hand, she clearly also thinks are somehow "beneath her". So she explains it to us at the table like this: She's intentionally ruining her boyfriend, so that when they eventually break up -- because that's what you do, right? -- then he will not be satisfied in any of his subsequent relationships. She has to frame her natural impulse to be kind and giving, as a political act that is actually a kind of cruelty -- because that's what she assumes we will approve of.

None of us ask for this justification, this is just a monologue that she volunteers. I don't say anything, but -- what the fuck? I think this has become a normal (if unnatural) trained attitude.

I could give other examples too, but that's enough for now.

Something is just very broken.

I use youtube in Firefox via a dedicated container, I wish that I can specify ublock rules by container because I have to disable most of rules to avoid adblock detection of youtube. I don't know what it is possible except creating a specific profile for YouTube which is annoying.
It's been a long time since I read something as aggressively condescending as the idea that "butterflies" are what women en masse consider to be "chemistry".
Fairly certain horse rentals were a thing. Might be a bit of a stretch but post houses would fit the bill [0]. So, this lets us go back to the 2nd century BC. Just need to find some data on renter behavior now.

They haven't lost any good will from me. I don't feel entitled to use an ad supported service for free without the ads. Personally I've been paying for premium for a while and I find it worth it.
picking a stack isn’t enough. you need to codify it and build tooling around it so you can completely forget how it works. picking it up cold after a year should be just as easy as picking it up from yesterday. mine is here[1].

If you're neither paying YouTube any money nor watching their ads, meaning you're a pure money sink, why should they care about your goodwill?
> Unix (/ˈjuːnɪks/, YOO-niks; trademarked as UNIX) is a family of multitasking, multi-user computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix

Yes. This is why people stop giving a shit.

I think new people, fresh out of school, mostly give a shit, but slowly figure out that their lives are a lot easier if they don't.
Why, from first principles, should YouTube allow this? Why shouldn’t they go thermonuclear?

I understand ads are annoying - I block as many as I can! - but I’ve never seen someone put together a coherent defense of the practice.
Agree PMs should be technically capable. It's an increasingly frustrating issue on my current team: the PM does nothing and is routinely caught between technical contributors and stakeholders above. I now think engineer/s should just take over the PM role.

edit: "nothing" meaning they just schedule meetings

Duuude, I bailed on a startup a year ago that gas lit the shit out of me during interviews (I had red flags but stupidly ignored them) and left in the first 2 weeks when all of the red confirmed true. 8 months later, lay offs.
If you've actually interacted with gay men in general you'll also find out the vast majority also have negative experiences with Grindr. It still falls within the "low effort = low quality" equation.

Or you can just read the reviews on App Store / Google Play and see for yourself.
Apart from the Youtube stuff, the post also highlights something else, entitlement towards free services like uBlock origin.

> It’s one thing to play cat and mouse with YouTube. It’s quite another to deal with a wave of angry users.

> And then one of the moderators actually deleted their Reddit account. “The ID in the post wasn’t updated because my mother was hospitalized,” they said.
It’s sad to see them leave because of some drive-by comments — new users who sign up for Reddit, leave their comments,

I have seen this becoming more and more common on open source projects and totally free services, where people act as if they are entitled to something as if it is their god given right. The people doing public services like uBlock origin can only take so much from the mob.
What do you do with a 95% oxygen atmosphere with now only ~60 times the mass of Earth's atmopshere? You could make a small ocean out of it, but that's a huge amount of H to source.
Douglas Downing's Trigonometry Made Easy is also a really great book for non-maths people. Same approach of situating Trigonometry in a mythical fantasy land. I remember Trigonometry as a chore of trying to memorize double-angle formulas and such, but this book really helped connect trig in an intuitive way.

I didn't know he had a calculus book, I'll have to check it out now.
Where I work we have a physician who doesn’t see patients. He reads procedures and supervises 8 mid-levels.

At a certain scale mature software companies do in fact have dedicated incident managers, and dedicated SREs who work primarily on stability from a more systematic perspective. However they still need support from the application developers due to the nature of software.

In the old days operations tended to be very isolated in much the way you are proposing. The problem with this is that stability depends very much on the software, so over time operations folks would be extremely defensive and impose all kinds of constraints on what software could do, and the software engineers would be frustrated that they couldn't do things efficiently. Imagine how firefighters would feel if construction workers had a tendency to randomly leave explosives and gas cans hidden throughout new construction and then waltzed off to the next job while the firefighters had to deal with the consequences.

At the end of the day, devs need to have some skin in the game or it's a recipe for disaster.
This 1% has been free-riding the YouTube experience. I am part of it. But I know I'm a free-rider, I am not feeling righteous about it.
Since my mom had colorectal cancer at 45 I was expected to start colonoscopy at 35 and then every 5 yrs

I did the first only so far and no polips.

There's nothing to be scared. It takes less than an hour and is painless. The worst part is the prep you do at home a day before. It's very powerful stuff. You'll be shitting clear water by the time they do the exam.
Context: I grew up in this area and have hunted there my whole life. The land is very much so not "empty" -- sure, there aren't condos, but it is owned by people and those people get economic gain from it predominantly through grazing cattle and somewhat agriculture. You could not just release Bison anywhere in this country without extreme uproar from the people who see them as in direct competition with their livelihood. And that's not even mentioning the other complex components of the prairie ecosystem that are being undermined (and in this case, restored).

That's why they are buying ranches that are currently utilizing the land for the purpose of cattle grazing and turning them back into wild prairie (and reintroducing bison).

My personal opinion is that it's incredibly cool that they're taking a very small piece of the great plains and letting it just be empty in the way that it used to be.
I see Mr Yudkowsky is trying to repeat his only professional success, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

I don't claim greatness at modern product design/theory, but I'd expect "what version(s) of TLS are supported?" to be primarily an engineering responsibility (say 80-90%) versus a product concern (say 10-20%).
I mean, effort comes from either time grinding of time thinking. The time to think of an elegant solution is arguably more effort than spending 100 hours brute forcing.

>Some ready to eat food may be better than what you can cook yourself, even some reputable chefs admit it and the efforts they save on these parts let them focus on the parts where they can make a difference.

It's not about putting effort into everything, it's about putting effort into nothing in your life. Sure, if you're fine eating fast food it's fine (just don't let it affect your health too much). It's fine having low quality hobbies as long as you have some other passion in life, even if that passion is as traditional as taking care of your family. It's fine not having passion in work as long as you have an enjoyable hobby. Etc.

But if you cut corners on every aspect of life, you end up without edge. Safe, bland, potentially lifeless. That's what mid life crises are made of when you realize you just existed for 40+ years (most people's better years) and don't really enjoy anything, or anyone.
After luxuriating in an ad-free YouTube it was shocking coming back to the "real world" -- too many, too often, and of no interest (and with all the info Google has on me?!)

Brave Browser has been great so far...
If I'm referring thousands of people to YouTube, and I stop doing that while simultaneously joining the chorus of anti-YT sentiment on the internet, their bottom line should care.
Really love this, yes I always pay top dollar for people who give a shit
I'd guess those people have friends that they share videos and shorts with. Those people might want to pay for premium or watch ads.
It is a good time and I gave the example of a teenager since they will likely be less physically developed, weaker and less experienced than a pro. In a place where sprinting is popular like in the US 10.70 is a pretty achievable for someone who spends time at the sport.

After a quick google, the men's Scottish 100m record was set in 1980 and has not been broken since so I would think that they do not devote a lot of attention to sprinting, and in 2022 only 4 runners broke 11 seconds in the 100m championships final.
I've yet to have a problem with any of the ones that were replaced, and they're approved as part of the safety structure of the car if glued in place with the right kind of glue and process. Technically it can't really be the windshield that leaks, usually it is a sign of wrong glue or an inappropriate application of the glue or process. This as well as good prepwork are key to an optimal result.
I find this work fascinating. I wonder if it'd be possible to create a test suite for the IBM PC to cycle through various colors and patterns, then distribute it to known IBM 5153 (monitor) owners and have them capture the output in best possible conditions and upload the results.

The results could include the video file and camera used. Then, iterate over the results programmatically and try to determine an average from them. Then the author's work could be normalized across many different revisions of the CRT from different conditions, instead of working from a single sample monitor. Then compare this with the canonical and revised colors.

I'm sure the differences would be barely noticeable, but just kind of wacky retro experiment I'd love to participate in.
I don't believe it should be a monoculture role. I think it should be held by generalist contributors like me. I cut my teeth and at a great cost/time to me, learned many skills professionally. I don't want some punk Software Engineer who thinks they are god coming in and making a mess of my hardware or my infrastructure.
MDs are limited in supply by the AMA. NPs and PAs are not, and for routine cases, sore throats, minor injuries, vaccinations, routine physical exams, etc. there is no reason an MD needs to be involved.
This is precisely isomorphic to the logic of not paying freelancers because "you're getting exposure", which every freelancer knows is bullshit.
This is quite easy to test in a longitudinal cross-cultural study of people over time. You'd probably find half a book shelf of research already which does exactly that, if only one bothered to look for it.
Because you're an active user and thus help make the site "popular". We're seeing on Twitter what happens when management starts ignoring this basic logic of the internet.
Damn kids and their "Docker, docker-compose, AWS EC2 or Lightsail, Digital Ocean droplets, Netlify, Render"

It is a choice as to how you believe you can resist an invasion.

One model is the citizen soldier.
The model Norway used to have.
Everyone is trained, and everyone is in some manner ready to go to war
The benefit is that occupation becomes quite difficult.
A strong resistance is guaranteed.

The other one is the professional soldier.
Great for going to war in other countries.
Great if you can repel the invasion quickly.

As we see in Ukraine, the number of soldiers you can
mobilize becomes important as well.

And in other to have many to mobilize you need a lot
of trained soldiers. Or its just a canon fodder.
You can deploy on both quite easily. The newer .NETs are properly multiplatform
Just another story implicitly playing up a group as a highly sophisticated threat actor that has capabilities more advanced than the defender threat model expects so they can not be blamed for the harm.

But if this keeps happening to you and your peers hundreds of times per week, then that is not a “threat actor with unexpectedly advanced capabilities”, that is a routine attack. You must be able to defend against routine attacks to fit any notion of security.

If you are routinely targeted by state actors, then your threat model must include state actors and you must be able to defend against state actors. If you and your peers are routinely targeted by organized crime, then you must include and defend against such threat models.

Making your threat model match your security so you can claim anything beyond your security is out of scope is incompetence at best, and fraud at worst. It is high time we stop giving these companies a pass on this.
What about ads displayed on a busstop? Should I feel guilty for looking the other way? It subsidizes public transportation afterall..
My personal impression, from what I've seen of the "third world", has been that people there are at least as happy as those in the rich world.
I paid for premium for a while but had to use scripts to block the “other people watched” and other junk like shorts showing in my search results. Eventually I stopped my subscription and used adblockers instead.

I use YouTube to search for videos on subjects I want to watch, but it seems that Google want YouTube to be like a TV channel where you just turn it on and watch what they show you.
I don't think they will lose. The average luddite doesn't care about seeing ads and will look perplexed at you if you tell them about ad blockers. Other services injecting ads into video streams have already been 'winning' for years. Ultimately youtube will push the envelope until even the people paying for premium will be seeing ads and savvy people will move on to pre-downloading videos and stripping ads from them before watching or similar janky solutions.
It’s streaming, YouTube can just embed the ads directly into the stream.
I built my business on Rails/SQLite/Sidekiq+Redis.

Hetzner (bare metal) for hosting. Bash script for provisioning a server. Vanilla JavaScript only when necessary. Tailwind for design. nanoc for generating a static site.

If I were to start again, I'd pick the same stack again. It just works and gets out of the way.
Neither side is wrong. Youtube has every right to try as hard as it can to get users to view ads. And users have every right to try as hard as they can to block those ads.

I don't have a right to ad-free youtube, but I do have every right to try and control what things get sent to and viewed on my computer. If I (and people like me) are abundant enough and succesful enough, then youtube and other services will be forced to abandon an ad-supported model. I'm personally ok with that.

But as long as they are attempting to pursue ad revenue, I'm going to try and avoid those ads, for a host of reasons.
I think YouTube will "win" this war, unfortunately. Even people that "join" individual channels cannot watch content from those channels if they use AdBlock. At some point these people are either going to buy premium or turn off the ad-blocker.

It boggles my mind that engineers and managers that have kids and are working on the YouTube team think this is okay and this is what the future of the platform should look like.

It's the beginning of the end of an era, and I'm immensely sad to see what the internet has become and where it is heading.
why is Reddit any less of a viable tech support than twit..er,X?
Meh, there's different goals you could have. I actually find it enjoyable to read math more quickly (almost like a novel) which gives you a good sense of a lot of the higher-level themes and ideas. Then if it's interesting I might spend more time on it.
I've been meaning to try Django (mit Postgres) + HTMX + Alpine + Tailwind for a while, and while I don't typically write a django admin page, https://github.com/unfoldadmin/django-unfold at least puts them in the same box for me to start playing with
Mostly off the top of my head:

document.getElementById('some-form').getElementsByTagName('input').forEach(i => i.classList.add('error'))

It is a little more verbose but it isn't that much more cumbersome today.

That's also doing things "the right way" and not do-all selectors, but that option exists now, too:

document.querySelectorAll('#some-form > input').forEach(i => i.classList.add('error'))

If you want to make it a little less verbose:

const $ = document.querySelectorAll
const addClass = (className) => (item) => item.classList.add(className)
$('#some-form > input').forEach(addClass('error'))
If they didn't have such entitlement they wouldn't be blocking the ads in the first place.
> In my experience, the vast majority of PMs could not describe the difference between TLS 1.3 and 1.x.

Does the vast majority of PMs need to tell the difference between TLS 1.3 and 1.x?

I mean, is that a relevant aspect of the vast majority of products?

If not, why should a PM bother about irrelevant details?

One of the cardinal sins of proponents of this "engineers should rule everything" mentality is failing to tell apart the critical factors from the irrelevant details, and conflate not caring about obscure implementation details with incompetence. Except the cheekiest little fallacy in software development circles is that the purpose of all software projects is not correctness or code coverage or uptime or resilience. The purpose of each and every single software project is to serve their users' interests. That's the critical part of a project, and the thing that PMs focus on for the right reasons. Naturally, PMs prioritize work with the biggest impact. Does TLS trivia fit this requirement? No.
Difference is it's widely accepted that people do have a right to a meal. It's internationally recognized as a human right.
It seems like both genders in aggregate report dissatisfaction with the current state of dating apps.

It reminds me of this survey(https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/08/20/public-...). In the survey both genders reported that they felt it harder to date in todays landscape (2020) than in the past. And women reported it more often than did men.

Even if individual men and women enjoy having a lot of partners and a lot of attention. It does not seem that the majority of the population shares this opinion.

I wonder if this problem is intrinsic to dating app or to the breed of dating app that the match Group manages. Maybe finally applying anti-trust laws to them could improve it.
This ad block debate makes me think about patio11’s post “The optimal amount of fraud is non zero”. Essentially in trying to make a system as fraud-free as possible you make it too difficult to work with / the cost of fighting fraud is higher than the cost of the fraud.

Ads vs Ad Blockers seem to be in that space, but on the cost of customer good will. Can YouTube squeeze more money from ads by doing this? Sure. Is it worth the customer anger? Maybe?

Most people don’t care about maintenance. They do it only when they must. So I doubt they would pay a penny extra for accurate forecasts of maintenance needs. Insurers and other types of dealers might though!

But wouldn’t constantly changing road types and weather conditions create so much variable noise that trending would be sloppy?
