Even from the headlines, it’s clear the criticism is more targeted than that. To generalise so aggressively is either bad faith (ironic, no?) or poor reading comprehension.

Are youtube personalities journalists? Is it the job of journalists to be popular? Should it be?

Let humans be free from the stress of likes, shares and metrics. Get back to the real world. Get new ideas and move on. Don't get distracted. The complete opposite of what Meta, X etc does.
In today’s digital age, everyone seems to be looking for the magic key to make money online, but few take the time to truly understand the risks and strategies needed for long-term success. Are you interested in affiliate marketing and leveraging the power of platforms like YouTube? If so, this is a must-watch video.

"CrakRevenue & YouTube: Revealing the Dark Side of CPA Platforms," hosted by Anders Larsson, is an eye-opening exposé on the true nature of combining CPA (Cost Per Action) offers with YouTube's vast audience. Larsson, an online marketer and coach, delves into the shiny yet risky business of CPA affiliate marketing on YouTube.

Let's cut to the chase: This video is not another overhyped tutorial promising instant wealth. Instead, it is a candid discussion addressing the often unseen truths of these platforms. It’s important to realize that while YouTube holds the potential for virality, it is not without its own set of stringent policies. When you mix this with aggressive CPA marketing techniques, it can lead to a cocktail of problems, including account bans and legal issues.

Here are my key takeaways from the video: True success in online marketing rarely comes from shortcuts. Instead, it stems from a deep understanding of marketing principles and a commitment to providing genuine value to your audience. Larsson shares his journey in navigating these platforms, including his pitfalls and victories, offering real insights into building sustainable streams of passive income.

So why am I sharing this? Because transparency in the realm of digital marketing is rare, and this video shines a light on the less glamorous yet crucial aspects of making money online. It's about cultivating trust and executing well-founded strategies rather than blindly chasing after the next big thing.

Whether you’re feeling lost or simply eager to learn more about the intricacies of CPA marketing on YouTube, Larsson provides free digital marketing video training to help you get started on the right foot.

- "By all accounts, this is the first time a piece of space junk has fallen out of orbit and damaged someone's home, at least in the United States. This means Otero and his attorney, Mica Nguyen Worthy, are entering uncharted legal waters as they prepare to file a claim with NASA for damages."

- "Otero's insurance covered damages to his home, but the provider will make a subjugated claim to seek reimbursement, Worthy said. Otero will also file a claim for unspecified non-insured damages, she said."

- "Michelle Hanlon, executive director of the Center for Air and Space Law at the University of Mississippi, said the Federal Tort Claims Act outlines the government's liability for damages in instances like this one. But Worthy said the laws in this area "may be inadequate.""

- ""This may be a situation where we have to make the claim and make the law... and we'll see how NASA responds," she said. "We have a good rapport with the (NASA) general counsel. Our goal is to make Alejandro whole, but in addition to that, we're trying to engage in a conversation about what do responsible space operations look like in the international picture.""

But you--or at least most of your classmates--probably weren't in a place to just learn calculus before taking high school physics or even simple geometry. And this happens at a lot of different levels with math, physics, chemistry, etc. There are a lot of inter-relationships and often moving forward requires taking some things on faith (for now).
Apparently the brake overrides the accelerator, so if you keep your calm, you can come to a stop.
I’m confused about what directions this goes.

The announcement is that Supabase now supports (user) —s3 protocol—> (Supabase)

Above you say that (Supabase) —Supabase S3 Driver—> (AWS S3)

Are you further saying that that (Supabase) —Supabase S3 Driver—> (any S3 compatible storage provider) ? If so, how does the user configure that?

It seems more likely that you mean that for any application with the architecture (user) —s3 protocol—> (any S3 compatible storage provider), Supabase can now be swapped in as that storage target.
Tesla is losing money on every truck sold at this point. The recall is just another multimillion dollar deficit on the books now.

Whether this product line will be sustainable (or exist) 1 year from now is unlikely.

Lackluster sales. Poor public perception. Truck would likely need another overhaul (more money burned) and another 1-2 year loss leader phase to test the market, and get their build processes updated to scale.
I use TestContainers in my Java Spring Boot application coupled with Liquibase. I have it set up so that the PG instance is created once with Liquibase initializing it from vanilla PG to a fully created empty application database, then all the integration tests reuse the same by overriding the stop() method to an empty one.

Running the full suite of tests is about 5-10 mins on a relatively low-powered build server, whereas on my more robust development workstation it's about 3 mins. Getting a TestContainer running an empty DB for integration tests ends up being a very small portion of the time.

Most of the time any work being performed is done in a transaction and rolled back after the test is completed, though there are some instances where I'm testing code that requires multiple transactions with committed data needing to be available. The one ugly area here is that in some of these outlier test cases I need to add code to manually clear out that data.
> That's because it doesn't want its executives in China to be disappeared, or denied an exit visa, or simply arrested arbitrarily.

Well, to be fair, there are also other more practical factors at play !

1. The sheer size of the market. Population of China is bigger than that of the US and the EU combined.

2. Although Apple are working on establishing manufacturing elsewhere, a large portion of their manufacturing still happens in China at the moment.

I suspect, if you were in Apple's shoes, loosing (1), (2) or both is a far worse position to be in than one or two executives "disappearing".

Executives "disappearing" is of course bad, but they are ultimately replaceable. Loosing the Chinese market or having constraints put on your manufacturing at short notice is a significantly bigger problem.

Its the same reason Microsoft famously had no choice but to show the Chinese the Windows source code.

I'm not defending China. I'm just saying, if you want to have business operations in a country (China or otherwise), you play by their rules. Being a large multi-national will only ultimately give you so much leeway with the authorities.
I prefer to either LUKS-encrypt the volumes used by ZFS, or use ecryptfs at the user level. ZFS ‘encryption’ has some nasty gotchas, such as not encrypting snapshot names (which just boggles the mind …).

I add ~/tmp (cleaned out on every boot), and use ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to assign good lowercase names to everything.

And of course all code lives in ~/src.
I once witnessed a noodle making bot absolutely YEET a plate of spaghetti with sauce at the wall of its box. It went everywhere. Quite an amazing sight to behold. Also watching the humans having to clean up afterwards.

A stressful event can cause a brief psychotic disorder - it's even coded in DSM-5.
None of this reorganization matters as long as the executive suite remains the same. Google's problem is top-down. This rearranging the deck chairs isn't going to cut it.

Much of Google's value proposition was in their ability to innovate. The current leadership has proven catastrophically inept at this. Without fresh leadership, Google is on its way to becoming some mid-tier ad placement agency at best. Engineering excellence won't save them as long as the top leadership is incapable of adjusting to circumstances.

There's still time for Google to leverage its competence at managing large infrastructure to regain its position as a leading technology company. But the window of opportunity is shrinking. Alphabet's board of directors needs to fire the executive suite, that's the easy part. The harder part is finding a replacement CEO and executive suite who will make the deep cuts and rearrangements necessary to get Google back on track. The longer they put that off, the less chance for Google to be relevant in the future.

Perhaps you want to release this into the public domain (see SQLite)?
I wish every OS had a space that is only and truly my space. No predefined directories, no config files that I did not put there myself, and no app should ever create files or directories there.

I settled a very long time ago to organize all my own data into projects under /proj and an alias `cdp` for `cd /proj`. That was what decades ago my colleagues were doing, and it has worked well for me ever since.

I appreciate the[1] home dir as a place for config files mostly and despise it for having become the system's junkyard otherwise.

[1] I'm hesitant to say 'my' because since everyone seems to put all their junk there, it does not feel like it is mine at all.
Please help removing docs.reqnroll.net from denylists
The websites of the open-source Reqnroll projects have been incorrectly classified as malicious and therefore blocked by different security vendors. If you or your company can help resolving such cases, please help!

It seems that reqnroll documentation website, hosted by read-the-docs was hosted on a server that has been used by others for malicious downloads. We have already asked 10+ security providers to clear the malicious flags (most of them did), but there are always new ones coming and therefore our website and our documentation is not accessible.

> But manning a grill – keeping track of burgers and cheese and buns and onions, and being able to flip the different objects at the proper time – turned out to be a tremendously sophisticated robotics problem, one too tricky for the startup to tackle

I don't know about the Cybertruck specifically, but yes, brakes are virtually always capable of providing more stopping force than the engine can oppose.
Great idea and great way to position the incentive. One question, what happens if no one reaches the goal? Where does the money go?
Exports to the USSR and the Eastern Bloc were pretty tightly controlled.
>This is always the case.

I mean anyone can throw out self evident general truisms about how there will always be new models and always new top dogs. It's a good generic assumption but I feel like I can make generic assumptions and general truisms just as well as the next person.

I'm more interested in divining in specific terms who we consider to be at the top currently, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow based on the specific things that have been reported thus far. And interestingly, thus far, the process hasn't been one of a regular rotation of temporary top dogs. It's been one top dog, Open AI's GPT, I would say that it currently is still, and when looking at what the future holds, it appears that it may have a temporary interruption before it once again is the top dog, so to speak.

That's not to say it'll always be the case but it seems like that's what our near future timeline has in store based on reporting, and it's piecing that near future together that I'm most interested in.

Cracks me up how everyone seems to think this is the result of randomness and not of intelligent design.
remastered collection was based off those ports.

The mcc collection never felt right to me in terms of game feel.
> Surely that limit is the result of some political discussion, thus arbitrary.

The usual case is that the limit is certainly the result of political discussion, but not arbitrary. What you'd expect is that somebody made a list of targets, and then the thresholds were intentionally defined to include those targets and nobody else.

In political contexts involving purchasing, this is called "single-sourcing". In contexts involving persecution, it is more frowned upon, and I'm not aware of a general name for the practice. But it's not a different practice.

Absolutely, if I threw a plate in the air I might ask where it landed, on the roof or on the floor, I might follow that by asking in how many pieces did it land.

I've spoken fluent Commonwealth English in Australia and across multiple countries for > 6 decades .. what flavour of English do you speak ?

Addendum: By way of example:

The incident comes roughly a year after another similar Chinese rocket fell to Earth, landing in the Atlantic Ocean but not before it reportedly left a trail of debris in the African nation of Cote D'Ivoire.

Yeah--though I guess kudos to AWS for not being litigious about it.
It seems that the code is the result of the ObjC preprocessor. :-)
I still don’t follow the logic but I would love to. If you have some specific ideas it would be great. Are you suggesting the government underwrites all risk no matter what? Are you suggesting to get rid of commercial insurance companies?

Perhaps the feel good statement comes off inflammatory but everything you said are nice ideas but lack how it actually get implemented. I am only suggesting that I am not sure having the government underwrite risk is a good idea, these funds are often underfunded and not underwriting the actual cost of loss correctly. It is funny because I don’t like the current constructs of health insurance in America but I think other forms of insurance work. On that side I think a form of a single payer system would work better, probably what you envision but not shared is like.

Again my point is simply that I think it can make sense for the government to underwrite if it requires moving those individuals out and not providing coverage to new homes that are in a flood zone. But I don’t think economically it works out going forward to just cover everything and anything.

Because he's like the 1000's of other "growth hacking" scam artists who's selling courses about his own company that sells courses, and tweeting about building a twitter audience. It's completely ridiculous circular nonsense.

Take advice from people who actually made a company and actually built stuff that served users, not people who sell courses about selling courses or whatever, or making a splash about making a splash. I don't care he claims he was an engineer at some point, that's basic stuff.
Unfortunately, my capacity to regard is limited. If I tried regarding every damn person on the planet I can't regard anyone. I am thusly going to disregard people I don't know in preference to the small handful of people I do know and will have meaning in my limited life.

Sounds pretty human to me. :-)
Natural Selection is not the interesting part, though. Natural Selection is the boring part. Obviously a working system will be selected over one that doesn't work.

The interesting question is where the working system that Natural Selection was able to select came from in the first place.
What was said that was naive?
Yes, this is the case on every production vehicle. People don't always realize it, though, and fail to push the brake all the way and hold it.
> . After performing a series of tests, it decided on April 12 to issue a recall after determining that an “[a]n unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal,” and that “[r]esidual lubricant reduced the retention of the pad to the pedal.”

How do you have so little quality control and insight into your manufacturing process that someone on your own production line can introduce a new step to your truck manufacturing process that no one noticed?

I guess when analysts said the incumbent auto manufacturers would have a large advantage over Tesla in manufacturing, this is what they meant?

Because this looks like a very unprofessional error to have made for a company that has done well up until now.

> the nature of working for a company is that you need to align yourself with the company's mission and methods

This is correct for any business. If you ran a business, would you tolerate any employee who attempts to subvert your products and revenue?
It was. They're different companies.
Repression of civil liberties is a common trait of dictatorships, but it does not define one.

Dictatorships require dictators. PW Botha was a lot of bad things, but he was not a dictator. China is considered a dictatorship because Xi has dictatorial powers.

Anyway this is all just semantics. The more important point is probably that it corrupts corporations to do business in countries with repressive governments, and to follow their repressive laws.

China is further along the repressive-government scale than many of us would like. I believe that Apple management are among the truly bothered, but moral complications abound, and ultimately their fiduciary-duty options are limited.
Seems like a false equivalence and trying to forcefit two things. It's not a binary choice as the writer puts it. Apple's tracking transparency gave users a choice whether to enable tracking/analytics outside the app usage. (inside the app, any company would know what the user is doing with right analytics stack). Every affected company had a choice to either continue offering the same product or make changes to their model. Any affected company could have just said, "Hey, we need personalized ads to pay our costs and that is what keeps this service free. If you think it's intrusive, we respect the choice, but we cannot offer it for free." Apple could not have stopped it or delisted the app for changing the business model. Here, EU is basically denying that option to Facebook.

> In competition, actions which are legal when you’re not a monopoly become illegal when you are a monopoly.

This sentence represents basic lack of understanding of the monopolistic behavior. See Qualcomm's antitrust case which they won on appeal in both EU and US which they could not have won if this sentence was true.
Why do you say so? Give ethical scenarios to humans vs gpt and I'm sure gpt will do better than many humans.

Humans are brought up with hatred, gpt is trained to not be hateful.

And don't say that "code doesn't have emotions". You can only say that you have qualia and empathy for your own individual self, rest of us might be p zombies for all you know.
As someone with no experience in native application development, could someone explain to me why this is significant? I have a rough idea, but I would like to understand it properly.
Yes, it's crap now. But it worked well in windows 7.

In the context of “space debris” the word “lands” does not imply a non-catastrophic settling in a new position.
The thermostat was ultimately designed by a mind that has objectives. That is why it tries to control the temperature.
Not defending NextJS, I'm pretty out on it myself, but ISG requires a server to run. It pregenerates static content for defined pages and serves that until revalidating. If you've built a fully static bundle, nothing exists that would handle that incremental/revalidating logic.
Show HN: Gitsell.dev – Gumroad for GitHub
Gitsell allows you to sell read-only access to your repos. Buyers are automatically added as viewers to your repo, and they continue to receive updates with a simple `git pull`.

I only take a 3% fee on top of Stripe's fees. And for that, I guarantee gitsell will stay up for life, and I will continue to develop it with useful features to help you sell your starter kit, design files, book, or whatever else you can put in a git repo.

Some features I have planned are ratings, comments, questions, sale insights, referral codes, search, and so on. I am releasing now without those from YC's advice that you don't want to launch too late.

Also want to mention this is an iteration on a previous idea of a site for just starter repos. I made some more expensive hosting decisions then and couldn't maintain it, so I rebuilt it from the ground up on a stack that enables me to host it for a very reasonable cost that I can sustain. The major shift that cut my costs was moving from Postgres to SQLite.

Hope this helps other indie-makers not have to set up their own selling infrastructure like I often see. Happy to answer any questions. Check it out at https://gitsell.dev
I don't know. Isn't it possible that people who lack empathy such as sociopaths or psychopaths can take care of people because they have learned what the social expectations are without actually feeling the emotion?
At least a bunch of large companies have begun to wake up and to reduce Chinese dependency in their supply chains. Some because Chinese labor prices have risen to the point where the savings make it worth the effort, some because they fear a repeat of what went down during Covid, and some because they don't want to risk being stuck in China should the Taiwan situation explode.

And then there are others like BASF or Volkswagen, who already showed bad decisionmaking in Russia, who now double down on China. Complete and utter madness - it's time for politics to step in here.
