YouTube crackdown leads to ‘hundreds of thousands’ of ad blocker uninstalls

The post you're replying to is pointing out that multiple days without reporting out a preliminary root cause analysis is so absurdly below the expected level of service here that it would prompt them to reconsider using the service at all.

2 days is outrageous here, I have to imagine whoever thinks that is acceptable is approaching this from the perspective of a company whose downtime doesn't affect profits.
Haskell in Production: Meta
No, it is not very true - even if you look at the worst case "do nothing" scenarios in the IPCC report, they are very bad, but very, very far from "we all die".

Using such hyperbole is counterproductive and makes people discount the actual risks. If we're talking about, for example, a billion people being displaced due to climate change disrupting food production or flooding areas which are currently densely populated, and many millions dying in that process, that is bad enough by itself to justify taking action, and there is no need to resort to ridiculous unjustified exaggerations implying that we're all going to die.
I had no interest in Kant’s philosophy at all until I came across a fictionalised version it as the main character in Adam Robert’s “The Thing Itself”.

I am now very interested in the idea of the thing itself that I built using the story I read.
So you know the saying “premature optimization is the root of all evil?” Producers love that statement because it removes half of the complaints around work being rushed.

Optimization is not done throughout the process and later there’s not enough time. Assets are made with bad topology and it would take time to redo them. Or it would take time to write a tool that retopologizes them automatically.

What I’m saying is by the time it’s “time” to optimize, there’s not enough time to optimize. It happens very commonly. But the alternative is taking development slower to do things right. And you simply don’t get investment for schedules like that in most companies. Not to mention that it’s goddamn hard to do when the execs lay off people, ask them to RTO, and induce serious attrition otherwise. Sometimes the team just can’t settle into a good process as people leave it too much. So you’re between a rock and a hard place — on the one hand: attrition and low morals, on the other hand: a tight schedule. This doesn’t apply to Colossal Order from my knowledge, but it does apply to many AAAs.

There is a problem at the root of this - extremely over-ambitious production schedules as norm. Most other things are symptoms. Most of what I described is a symptom.
I wonder if they could brand this differently.

Cause you know, "explicit is better than implicit"
Even if they did, you would need to store that cash somewhere.
The one time I was asked to be searched while driving I declined. They immediately called a drug dog, yanked its leash, and called it a drug hit. I then hung out for an hour while they confirmed I was a poor college student with zero drugs.

Driving with any amount of cash above a few hundred will get you robbed by the police in asset forfeiture. It happens everyday around the country to small business owners that deal with a lot of cash.
Big +1. I feel I can keep my kids YouTube usage under control and effectively moderate what they watch. With shorts I can't scroll through the 100 shorts they quickly swiped through, have no idea which ones they actually watched, and I frequently see a lot of inappropriate content in shorts that I don't normally see on their accounts.

Shorts actually makes me want to ban YT in my house altogether and cancel my premium sub
Yeah, lots of weirdos likely bleeding over from the bitcoin maxi camp here commenting. This exec order is mostly good and directly addresses a bunch of future problems.
This article goes in length to compare cost per mile, but how much of that cost is paid to landowners? Surely a significant amount in LA or NYC!

Luckily you don’t control the thoughts of others. US companies should hire US citizens and if there isn’t enough supply we should be enacting policies to fix that issue not continuing to allow US citizens to work “unskilled” labor for pennies while we brain drain other nations and create an upper class of non-citizens.

You definitely make a lot of good points.
LEOs are ideal enterprise clients. Predictable, high budgets, very easy lock in, one success will create many other opportunities.

Eventually the surveillance drone will identify the criminal, sell the criminals information to a bondsman, and try to line up a defense attorney for the defendant, and set a court date. Imagine the efficiencies.

You could deploy them to schools as well to increase the funnel velocity.
The key point is that the difference between "wholesale electricity" and "retail electricity" is based on total costs which don't change if you buy 1kWh less from the grid - while it's currently priced "per kWh", it's not really a marginal cost but a fixed one, so people in aggregated would have to pay the same total amount to the grid no matter how much home solar panels are built.

There is a cost advantage currently, but that is a side-effect of how we currently do accounting of grid costs, not reflecting any actual advantage in reducing total costs across the country.
This is similar to JS (which has to use objects instead of keyword args).

a = 1
b = "foo"
c = null
f({a, b, c})

This is a popular feature.
Isn't the problem elsewhere here? The fact that people are using an API whose entire purpose they don't understand? "I passed a flag without understanding at all what it's supposed to do" doesn't seem specific to atomics at all.

This feels exactly like crossing an intersection without looking around despite noticing a sign saying "blind intersection", then being surprised when you get hit, then blaming it on the sign being "tricky" to reason about. There was nothing tricky about the logic... you just ignored it.

Someone did the reasonable thing and pointed out the 'romantic fallacy' on part of the OP. With what little gardening I have done in my life I can say with confidence that I will fail by a large margin to harvest more than a tiny fraction of what I need to survive even if I were given a plot of land and all the gardening and farming tools you'd need. Even then it would be potatoes day in day out and not much of anything else. I was even able to harvest 2800 grams of potatoes from my balcony this year and could multiply that number if I wanted, but that is still a tiny fraction of only the potatoes I eat in a year's time, not to speak of what I consume apart from potatoes.
They'd have to sell the data to a third party, who would only be willing to pay market rates (they'd profit more from reselling that data to multiple parties).

Colluding to increase the base rate would be a kind of price fixing (i.e. illegal) and having the third party increase the margin wouldn't benefit Amazon at all.

EDIT: remember if the data is actually valuable, then Amazon could sell it for MORE than it costs to buy it back, since the third party can recoup its costs from multiple purchasers. (So the market mechnism helps make the data more accessible and broadly useful.)
I have to admit that Supervisor is much more mature for Meproc, as it has gone through a long process of user feedback and iteration. Meproc, on the other hand, has only recently implemented a rudimentary project. The difference between the two, in my opinion, lies more in their design philosophies. Supervisor was launched earlier, so it heavily relies on configuration files and initially followed a client-server architecture. Later, it added HTTP XML interfaces to address visualization and automation needs. In contrast, Meproc wanted to abandon configuration files from the beginning because they can complicate automation. For example, should the configuration file be updated when new configurations are deployed, and how to ensure consistency between runtime configurations and the contents of the file. To give an inappropriate analogy, Supervisor is like Nginx, a classic software, but it faces challenges in dynamic updates in the current cloud-native environment. That's why alternatives like Unit were developed to compensate for its shortcomings. However, why not design a software from scratch that inherently supports dynamic updates?
Because without it US companies would have to negotiate and come to terms with US workers.
Hard agree re. money and ideals. I guess what I'd counter is that someone with a pinch of integrity (so not the current incarnation of SV lol) could absolutely build a business from questionable data practices without going whole hog into narc-dom. Like how a casino can be predatory in its own right without also funneling money into the mob.
> but enforcing a stupid "techno uniform" and turning away half their potential customers for arbitrary reasons probably doesn't help their business.

That's literally all they're known for. It's their whole business model. "Don't come because you probably won't get in" -> everyone tries to get in
so you've cherrypicked two examples, one of which-Mr Beast-is basically just a tv variety gameshow but better presented for a younger audience. the sums of money may well be high but that doesn't change the fact that it's not pulling in viewers jumping ship from HBO/BBC/Netflix/AP dramas.

Even besides new instructions the 486 and then Pentium ran existing x86 code faster than the 386 clock for clock. Various new instructions did add capability but just running existing code faster was a huge win on subsequent chips.
I'm sure it's different elsewhere.
Yes that should definitely stop and companies should find ways to incentivize US workers instead. I know that’s a crazy idea…
The Behind the Bastards podcast on this issue was quite enlightening. I do wonder if the podcast was part of the reason why this lawsuit happened. You can find part 1 over here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/part-one-why-is-the-re...

There's a lot more healthy competition between grocery store brands than in e-commerce. If Amazon weren't so dominant then they wouldn't be the target of this kind of regulation.

Maybe just me, but this sounds pretty revisionist wrt 'most important'. If the 8086/8088 hadn't stumbled into ubiquity via the IBM PC, there probably never would have been an 80286 much less an 80386. YMMV.

That said...the 386 was a world-changing engineering achievement, and as much as I think in a just and fair timeline the 68030 would have taken over the world ( :-) ), you can't discount what Intel did.
I’m too dumb to know if you’re making a math joke or if this is a real 3D modeling thing.

Environmental groups, and I say this as a self-professed environmentalist, often miss the forest for the trees. They will fight an elevated train line to save a bird or whatever. Despite the fact that the reduced automobile miles means far more humans and animals both not dying and just better for the environment in general. Then they won't make a peep at a giant parking lot being made.
We have a plug in hybrid with a 30 mile electric range and a charger at home. We rarely put gas in the car except for trips. A 300 mile range EV is unnecessary for most everyday use. 100 miles is more like it. Leave out 2/3 of the batteries and give us a better price.

great idea to reduce scope and skip "the agent" part and let the users do it, can be added later. When you do, you probably want to introduce some means to query for and update IPs via api first, to have all-dynamic nodes covered. Currently users need at least 1 peer that is either static or has outside dyndns setup.

Depends what you care about. MacKay's claim was specifically that the UK couldn't be powered this way (which appears to be falsified); if the manufacturing all ends up in China, which has the Gobi desert and is closer to the equator, and has the Three Gorges Dam and the will to build it, I don't even have to run the numbers to know they can be completely green.

> There is no evidence that H1B visas have caused labor instability in the IT market.

Lmao. It’s self evident that the IT market, exemplified by the wealthiest tech corps, is literally dominated by foreign workers. The argument for unskilled labor (Americans don’t want those jobs) can’t even be dishonestly argued here. It’s government policy allowing US workers to be sidelined in favor of foreign ones.

He has a 500 gigabyte monthly quota, and the single page linked here is 270 megabytes (!) according to another comment (I didn't check but it's full of unnecessarily hi-res movies in .gif format). Why does he assume that 2000 hits of a page in 6 hours is so implausible that it must be "a weird malicious bot attack, or some kind of web crawler stuck in a loop"? That's only 5 hits a minute! Hasn't he heard of "going viral"?

Most people are totalitarian in a few ways. Some people hate drugs. Everyone hates crime. The homeless cause social issues. Some people want their religion enforced. Some people hate foreigners.

Most people grant these powers to the government hoping to get their pet peeve taken care of, and are surprised when the government not only doesn't do what they promised, but turn those powers onto its own favorite victims instead.
People do track cash by serial number, each and every bill has a unique one. However in practice it doesn't happen a lot. I would think that's because:

- There are a whole lot of bills to keep track of

- The serial numbers are not easily stored and compared with computers (at least not for private individuals)

That second point, bills not being on computers, is why cash isn't the easy answer to the banking problems we are discussing here. You can't pay someone across the country very easily using dollar bills.

With Bitcoin, there actually aren't any bills or tokens with serial numbers attached to them. There are however, as you point out, unique addresses for each transaction. Like the vast number of paper bill serial numbers, there are a lot of possibly Bitcoin addresses. Far, far more than there are paper dollar bills, sands in the sea, and stars in the sky, actually.

It is, however, somewhat possible to track Bitcoin going too and from the addresses because it is all on computers and this is a trade off of Bitcoin being permission-less and not controlled by a single entity that can decide to unbank you, and online so that you can send it to people across the country.

So, as you point out, if someone publicly associates themselves with a Bitcoin address, and if they reuse that address over and over, you can see how much Bitcoin is going into and out of that address, and if the other addresses in these transactions are also known, then you can easily see that Bob sent Alice some Bitcoin. Address reuse and publicly associating yourself with an address was unfortunately common in the early days of Bitcoin, but practically it never never happens anymore. Instead each and every transaction uses a new unique address, and as I said before, there a vast huge number of possible addresses.

As for exchanges, yes, they do have identities associated with Bitcoin addresses. You can easily accept bitcoin from an exchange and then transfer it again to other addresses that have not been publicly associated with you.
Also, hopefully someday exchanges won't be necessary.

If you were to ask a British raver of a certain age, they'd tell you that Berghain and Kit Kat in their prime were nothing compared to Shelley's Laserdome, Bagley's or the Doncaster Warehouse, which were themselves pale imitations of the summer of '89.
I like this video because there's a lot of a good actionable advice before he gets into SIMD code.
The i960 apparently had enough embedded use, e.g. in printers, switches, terminals. That is, where binary compatibility did not matter much.

We under-appreciate how little binary compatibility matters now, so that you can even develop something on an ARM-based machine and then rebuild and safely deploy to an x64-based machine (usually because it's Node, JVM, Python, etc).
Awesome work! I can foresee this being very useful.
What qualifies as an "extended amount of time overseas"? If you go on a vacation for 6-8 weeks, does that get you in trouble? I would think banks would want to keep big spenders who can afford months-long international travel.
> In any case Oregon is about 3 million people in the portland metro and a million people spread over 90,000 sq miles or 10 per sq mile or about 4 per sq km

NZ is more closely comparible than you are suggesting. The majority of NZ is in cities with the other ~1 million[1] spread over 103,500 sq mi. Density is a distribution, and cherry picking a single density number is nearly always very misleading.

Oregon is often a fine comparison with New Zealand. Except I wouldn't want to try to compare which government is more functional (we have our serious problems too).

As a generalisation, while it is difficult to compare the whole of the USA with a specific country, it is often enlightening to find a comparible state.

Soooo I think I'm far enough removed from my old job to comment-

I worked at Adobe as a lead on a platform engineering team. Another team came to us pushing for us to adopt StackStorm for autoremediation of our infrastructure. We looked at it, and didn't see it as a good fit for us. The example we were given was "if httpd goes down, restart it". But:

- Systemd's built in restarts worked orders of magnitude faster than StackStorm

- At higher levels, the Kubelet, Kubernetes workload controllers, and cloud-native services provided fairly robust autoremediation capabilities

Despite this, we were still pressured to use it. I think some other team saw my team's success (we eventually ran the infrastructure for a majority of Adobe's services, and I believe that's still true) and wanted to hitch a ride on the rocket. But we never did.

Note the wording on that ADOPTERS.md line - that line only applies to one team at Adobe, a company with tens of thousands of employees and services across hundreds of products. I can tell you while I worked there, StackStorm did not seem to be widely used.

The website lists connecting various third party services together. I think that makes sense for quickly snapping together vendor services without having to figure out how to wire up their APIs. For cases where we were fully responsible for all the software involved, it was like trying to drive a car from the back seat with pieces of string.
> and getting slaughtered in their only remaining stronghold by NVIDIA, AMD and ARM pillaging their castle

NVIDIA doesn't make good CPUs, even their SoCs are ... not exactly state of the art. No mass market adoption besides automotive who don't care about anything but long availability of (spare) parts and the Nintendo Switch which likely only still uses the same 2015-era Tegra chipset because even someone as big as Nintendo couldn't kick enough arses at NVIDIA to bring up a new design. ARM doesn't make generally available server CPUs (the ones that do exist all get gobbled up by cloud providers), and there are outside of the Mac world no viable ARM desktop or laptop CPUs because Qualcomm completely fucked up that market for likely years to come - I don't see any way of ARM adoption in that market unless ARM comes up with a competing solution to Rosetta and Qualcomm comes out of the mindset "if it works just barely, ship it" that may be acceptable to smartphone vendors but not the PC/desktop market.

That leaves AMD as the sole remaining threat to Intel, and AMD doesn't have the fab space to be enough of a threat to Intel's moat.

Yes, I may or may not be extremely frustrated at the state of competition in general computing.

But when you're using solar to generate the energy, what's the equivalent of burning? I'd argue that it's just "whatever the panel produces". So, if you have some panels producing 1 KWh, and you need that KWh for your car, the relevant efficiency here is transport efficiency.
