IIRC, they pushed pretty hard on the idea that the thumbs up/down system was objectively better.

I was never convinced. Partly because I wanted to see the actual number of stars when choosing a video, and partly because their motives at the time were highly suspect (one of their own produced videos was getting bombed with 1-star reviews, IIRC).

How to break the "senior engineer" career ceiling (2019)
Those contests are never about the actual code/algorithms they produce, it's always about recruiting the people who write them.

For the price of $1mil (plus a bit of engineering time) they got a list of talented engineers who have too much time, and also everyone now knows that they are the company with the really challenging problems. Forward the list to recruiting, and you got a bunch of new hires, much more effective than paying for job ads.

Something I see so much in local politics is that things don't all happen in a nicely coordinated fashion like one might want. Say, building some denser housing with more transit. But people telling you to wait until everything lines up 'just so' most likely want neither. Things happen in fits and starts in the real world.
I’m like that too sometimes after a particularly difficult workout. I can’t make conversation or make sense of things I would normally have no trouble with (programming related).
I thought Authy was a TOTP authenticator? I thought I was using it as an "Authenticator App" in places that require a TOTP authenticator, and can use any TOTP authenticator implementation, and Authy is the one I was using.

But this stuff confuses me, I am not shocked if i'm wrong. Can you explain where I'm going wrong, or provide a link to help me understand it?

I don't use Twitch; it sounds like maybe Twitch doesn't let you use any TOTP authenticator, but _requires_ you to use Authy? (weird!) But maybe Authy is still a TOTP authenticator?
2 and a half years ago CloudHiker was a much more direct spiritual successor to StumbleUpon, and it was called Stumbled.cc

It worked better, didn't require an extension like CH and then at some point they changed and all the content on the site went downhill. As others in the thread have mentioned, it was starting to become SEO'd.
> We know the Saudis and other state backed groups had insiders in Twitter at least

That former twitter employee was found guilty of acting as an agent of a foreign government. So far the Israeli lobby has a free pass to meddle in without triggering the same treatment. See https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-twitter-employee-found...
I would argue that the UK scene is even richer now (multiple those 4 genres by 10). The amalgamation of styles that you see today is on a whole different level. Thanks to the internet, your average player is much more skilled than your 3 cowboy chord singer from the 80s.

The cons of being an artist today is that the barrier to put a song is extremely low nowadays and keeps getting lower and lower as technology becomes cheaper and AI gets ever close to bring people into the tsunami stream of voices of people trying to make their new single heard. The "I'm bored but making music is so cheap so let's record something", to the casual, to the good one, to the great one and the talented one. All together crying for your attention. In the 80s, the barrier was much higher and so, if you manage to get in, you were definitely not bored at home or a casual player, you were someone passionate and persistent about their craft.

Music distribution is another con. The barrier is super low now and virtually everyone and their grandma have a song on Spotify now. This makes it super hard for talented people to be heard.

To make it today, you need to be well-connected because the masses are everywhere else. So yes, you will see more Billie Eilish types. But nothing is stopping you or anyone else from going down your local venue and check the local talent there :)
Utilizing Personal Capital and tracking every penny I spend.
Both my sibling and I experienced the same in the US corporate culture. Even non-confrontational phrases have to be wrapped in multiple layers of please / perhaps / would you kindly to not be considered "rude".

Many of us are in the tech industry. Has anyone seen this sort of thing happen? Or is this something we wouldn't be aware of since it's usually on the "content moderation" side of the house?

Spot Bitcoin ETF receives official approval from the SEC
I think it would be safer to remove all political posts from social media (both sides) as policy. There is a massive propaganda war on both sides and all it does is amplify sentiment, create further division, hurt more people and compromise security over time.

The press are bad enough at coming up with verified claims from the right people. Social media is 1000x worse.

Of course our current American social media dictators are pretty lax on doing anything positive for society as a whole while it benefits them.
Some people (well, me at least) like the air purifier to make some white noise. Mine doesn't turn on automatically if, for example, the power cuts out and then comes on again, and I always notice it within a few minutes because the house feels weird without any background noise.

It has survived because people use it. This is the audience that is likely _not_ using it, but I've seen it utilized to pay good people who do good work that can't accept USD and I've seen it used to facilitate allowing people to keep the drug economy working without the need for violence.

Imagine if next year every illicit drug was sold anonymously and without any in-person market. You'd probably have a lot of logistical issues with that kind of influx, but you'd rid the world of an awful lot of violence and harm.

in Reed's "No Rules Rules" book, they discuss how this contest was really a way to recruit top-quality engineering talent, which is a key assumption in how they ran their culture (highly paid small teams with lots of freedom, trusted to know what's best from the ground-up rather than top-down).

They didn't really need an algorithm in the first place, they just brainstormed what would sound the coolest to developers.

> How is the body burning the same calories with increased physical activity?

As someone who runs marathons, the answer to “how does the body burn the same calories with increased activity” is: It doesn’t. You will feel a marathon metabolically no matter what. And if you don’t eat like an absolute monster that day, you’re literally going to feel insatiable hunger for multiple days until you get those calories back.

Feeling hungry when your stomach is so full that you can’t take another bite is quite an experience I’ll tell you that.

And yes, your grocery bill does get higher when training for a marathon. It's very noticeable.
I agree that potential integration with non-Unicode systems is a real concern I hadn't thought of. However, your examples of complexity in the service of demonstrating why a system might not support Unicode don't seem to affect or be affected by the allowance of all printable Unicode characters in digital representations of proper nouns, unless I'm misunderstanding.

I.e. I don't understand why these problems mean that a postal system might elect to not support all scripts in storage (I get why it means the OCR software for a postal office might not support scripts outside their own country's scripts).
I mean, it's the team telling itself, 'we're tough, nobody can mess with us'.

Knuth’s Art of Computer Programming “footnotes” the history of computing throughout it’s text; shows how it was done because Knuth has been writing it for most of the time computers have been machines and not people; and invented a fair portion of how computing has been done.

Ableson and Susman’s SICP is full of structured data without using objects.

And the less famous Structured Programming by Michael Jackson (no not that one) is also good. Jackson talks about “tables” and that’s what OOP languages abstract over as objects.

Just as tables abstract over pointers and pointers abstract over jmp instructions.

Good luck.

The advance of recsys is in big part thanks for Netflix because it attracted a lot of people to the field, all companies started developing inhouse RecSys just like today you hear about inhouse LLM/chatgpt wrappers etc
how was netflix ever going to continue being a "tech company." Video streaming is a commodity at this point, they are not longer doing anything technologically revolutionary.

Once every other media company could do what they were doing they realized they have to become an entertainment company. It was shrewd foresight on their end, otherwise they wouldnt exist anymore. Unless they tried to license out their infrastructure or something
Could still be true, though if nobody you care about goes there
>Amazon doesnt have a monopoly in any sector. Pretty hard to make an anti trust case against it

Antitrust laws aren't limited exclusively to monopolies, but here's some interesting reading:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-sues-amazoncom-breakin...
What's wild is that it's not like they're matching industry norms. Most of the other big streaming platforms are far less chaotic and confusing. Even the shitty new "Max" interface is better than Netflix. It's the only one I will not use to just browse, I only open it with a purpose because the UI is so unpleasant.
Depends on how you bulk. You’ll gain some fat sure, but you can limit this by eating healthier and not too much over your caloric needs.

But my point is, if someone loses a bunch of fat their bmr is going to take a hit. Could be pretty significant on the order of hundreds of calories a day.

What are you talking about?

Every single Twitch streamer in my list is profitable.
Twitch gets 50% of each subscription.
1 subscription per streamer.
You have to subscribe to each streamer individually.
Egress is a fixed cost.
You pay flat rate for 10GE or 40GE or 100GE.
Then people buy virtual currency (bits) so they can "support" their streamers.
Some people dump huge amounts of money to be displayed on top of some monthly donation list.
I've seen some guy dump $5k every few minutes to some travel streamer.
I guess that's what the *coin money gets spent on.

Twitch aka Amazon is surely not losing money.

Then add the annoying ads every so often. Sometimes up to 20 ads in a row. Ridiculous.
WFMU it’s great also
> Wholesale rates never go to $1/kwh. Why should you get paid more than what PG&E pays its suppliers?

I believe CASIO's spot price cap on generation is in fact $1/kwh. This is only ever reached on a handful of peak summer days and only for a a few hours at most.

> In a rich neighborhood this works really well.

Solar is not exclusively a rich neighbor hood thing... well it certainly is now with NEM3 since the economics are broken.

> Most people don’t live in single unit dwellings either

Well you'll be pleased to know the utilities have colluded to make shared solar for apartments/condos un-economic too so everyone can get screwed.

>So yeah, I’m on pg&e’s side here. It’s their grid.

PG&E can't exist without eminent domain forcing private property owners to give away space for power poles and buried lines. They also enjoy both a monopoly and guaranteed profit! The regulator by law ensures that they get to recover all costs no matter what those are.

I'm not saying utilities shouldn't get paid to build and maintain the grid. I'm also not saying they shouldn't get paid something to maintain extra generating capacity.

I'm saying the hand-wringing about how rooftop solar owners are all rich leeches hurting the utilities and low-income people is a bunch of utility-created BS to justify screwing everyone over for higher utility company profits.

Arbitrage is how utilities make money. Forecasting, signing contracts, making hedges. Figuring out what average price to charge consumers to even out the fact that electricity is dirt-cheap at 3am and outrageously expensive on the hottest summer days at 3pm. They can and do understand the impact of solar. Solar lowers their profits so they want to kill it. Was CA NEM2 unreasonable to the utility? Yes. Is NEM3 a good compromise? Absolutely not. Is charging customers a fixed monthly charge based on their income a reasonable or even fair thing to do? Hell no.

> In what world is the grid down but your personal solar + battery installation is keeping the lights on for the entire neighborhood without using said grid?

That's not what I mean. I'm not saying every home would be able to run this way, just that it is a good thing in a disaster if some homes here and there are able to supply their own power. It means there is somewhere in the neighborhood that can power a fridge/freezer to save food or handle sensitive medications. Where neighbors can go to charge cell phones. If you've never lived in a hurricane-prone area you may not understand how much of a lifeline it is for someone on the block to have a generator or solar+battery.

I mean EV the same way: if someone on the block has an EV and solar then they can assist their neighbors... eg driving to a water/food distribution point even when gasoline supply is cut off for a few weeks. Or drive to a pharmacy to pickup critical medication.

Hopefully you never find yourself in such a situation but from a public policy POV having that kind of distributed self-sufficiency capability (paid for by individuals on their own) is a good thing.
Well the threat to his financial position is growing more ominous, and you've got to figure there are some people who are going to get quite emotional about now after it starts getting this bad.

Even more when there were mass casualties.

The Netflix Prize competition (2006, completed in 2009) was a Kaggle competition before Kaggle competitions (2010), with the same business-side incentives.

Given the meteoric rise of ML/AI in the past few years, I'm surprised that Kaggle doesn't come up more often. It was all the rage 2013-2018...then most I heard about it was that it allowed free access to TPUs.
That might work for pre-recorded video, but I don't think it would be stable and reliable for live streams.
> genres that mostly don’t tour well (rap, pop)

What are you basing this on?
That was my first impression as well - "attaching" is a term I've heard used in the film industry to not only say a star / asset is involved, but also a verb to be used as shorthand for "I can make it happen".
I can see that interpretation, but I don't think it's the only one. It's not perfectly communicated (as a I said in the root comment), but at work I'm looking to be productive, not find flaws.
I'm not evangelizing, I'm expressing a feeling. As far as "saying bad things about another's passion" I don't know what to tell you. We all have a right to be passionate about something, but we don't have a right to live free from criticism of that thing. At this point I don't think there's a lot left to be said that hasn't been said before, and frankly crypto speaks loudly for itself.

That's why it's become so despised by so many people, and you can say that on places like this without immediately being hammered into the ground. I'm not trying to convert anyone to my way of thinking, not only because that seems like a waste of time and energy, but because it would be preaching to the converted.
I believe this is the same thing that was discussed 12 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38806650

One thing I dislike about Netflix is that there's a category for 'top ten in [your region]'. This doesn't really show the aggregate top ten pieces of media for a region, it is actually personalised to you. If I compare across accounts, the top ten are are different, sometimes overlapping but usually in a different order. This dark pattern exploits the 'join the crowd' bias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum).

Also, constant price increases and laying off large numbers of employees...
The unspoken truth is daycare is highly regulated and that regulation compliance is much of the contributing factor. Either compensate constituents for the externalities of your protective legislation or go back to letting any jill turn her house into a an unlicensed daycare center which is the dirty truth of how people got by for an affordable price before.
Nope it's just his MO to phrase what he hopes to achieve some day eventually as if it's already/almost done.
Most companies spend a ridiculous amount of money for not much at all. The crazy amount of waste in boom times is, frankly, disgusting.

You all have witnessed it, some of you may have even tried to stem the tide of horrific spending, some of you are to blame.

Go to the billing page of whatever third-party thing you use and just recoil in horror how much you spend.
Apparently not, given that we have had to re-run the “Should we prohibit this thing that was previously considered a personal decision” experiment yet again.
I'm curious how you quantify that?
If you look at the extensive reporting done by racket.news around the Twitter Files and Facebook Files, you can learn about the direct back channels many government agencies had to directly report thousands of people to be banned or shadow banned. A federal court judge concluded that it was the biggest violation of free speech in modern history. He ordered the government to no longer contact the social media companies unless something is found to be illegal. This applied to government agencies but does not apply to these groups that might be organized or funded by a foreign government.
So much for that hire 3,000 people! Hiring Freezes ALWAYS come 1 to 2 Quarters BEFORE layoffs. Freeze are one of the few levers companies have before layoffs, the challenge is that attrition is a real thing and existing employees are over worked.
