> it's not that it will be "harder to give them money", but rather that you will be paying twice as much (ie not receiving coupons/vouchers to obtain the real competitive price) based on them knowing that you personally will still buy.

JCPenney has been doing that for decades. When Ron Johnson - the former CEO of Apple retail - came in as CEO and tried to get rid of the constant coupons and “sales” and implement everyday low prices, consumers rebelled and he was rapidly fired.

Even with cash, stores have loyalty programs that consumers gladly sign up for. In the mid 90s, I worked at Radio Shack which was infamous for tracking how often employees asked for names and addresses just to buy batteries

> There will likely be an election in 3ish months

At earliest, May 5th (March 24th parliament comes back, instantly votes no confidence, governor general issues writ the same day, the shortest possible campaign period is 37 days and election day must fall on a Monday).

At latest, Oct 27th (regularly scheduled election is Oct 20th, but that might be delayed by 7 days due to scheduling conflicts - see Bill C-65).

Likely somewhere in between there. All the opposition parties have been signalling that they intend to vote no confidence. Assuming that doesn't change though, there's likely at least a few days lag between parliament coming back, and that happening. The campaign period is likely not to be as short as possible (with an allowable range of 37 to 51 days).

After all these years, have you ever wondered why zero footage of the SST that caught fire taking off have surfaced? Or even photos? That the only video of it was taken from a car on a nearby highway?

We all know the cockpit voice recorder exists and is essential for investigating a crash. I seriously doubt there are secret cameras recording the tarmac and it's all been hushed up. There are simply no cameras there.

Keymashed: Motivate your internet by mashing your keyboard
Ya know, how sometimes your computer's internet is slow?

What if... you could motivate it. Make the internet itself flow a lil' quicker.

Since making the internet faster is a hard research problem, keymashed instead worsens the internet and then eases up proportional to how fast you mash the keyboard. It features:

- an overengineered network protocol
- a from-scratch video codec based on JPEG
- humor
Perhaps it could start low, $2, and then for every fraudulent claim you make it goes up exponentially?

It would be accessible to the common person, but for a mega company making bulk fraudulent claims, it becomes expensive.
Are there any other copies of this video out there? Since it's a bogus claim, the video should be able to be posted elsewhere --- YouTube can't be the only source of record.

It's not, but (presumably) you're hearing about your one mentioned data point from a biased subset of people from India in English. How many people who didn't study English in school and dropped out there would you even have a chance of having talked to?

And that's not to say the behavior doesn't exist in the US, just maybe in a different social strata or subculture than you're in. Specifically, the phrase "tiger mom" entered our lexicon due to a book written by a (ethnically) Chinese woman, but is not limited to it.

I mean, we already have YouTube channels and tiktok content that are about the same as the TV show "ass" shown in the movie.
I don't think so, since YouTube is operating their extrajudicial "go the extra mile for copyright holders" copyright claim system. It isn't required by law and this is what's being abused, not plain DMCA claims. For regular claimants, the regular (and free) DMCA system would still be in effect.

The bonus is that filing fraudulent DMCA claims has real legal repercussions under the law. I don't know if there's any real consequence for lying about copyright ownership to Google under their made-up claim system.
I agree that Apple Intelligence generally stinks, but I'm not seeing anything actually generally more useful from anyone else.

> Those credit card perks are directly subsidized by the handling fees they charge your local businesses

The “local business” more than makes up for credit card fees via increased spending. They know their margins and the minimum amount needed to make a credit card transaction worthwhile. That’s why many have minimum transaction amount to use a credit card.

I've often speculated about a radical interpretation of this idea, inspired by a old video game (whose name I forget). In the game, you rule a kingdom, but unlike, say, Civilization, you don't directly manage things. You set goals and create quests, like "slay this monster and get some reward." And the quests would inspire heroes to join your kingdom, and things would grow from there. Iirc, you create incentives around your economy as well.

Imagine if there were product goals ("implement feature X") with some reward [1] attached and you could leave it up to teams or individuals to claim that goal if they desired. You could choose the goals you wanted to claim, recruit coworkers to help you, (eg, self form teams). PMs/Management would basically be in charge of allocating rewards for the goals.

I imagine it'd be a terrible system in practice for a number of reasons, but I enjoy thinking about ways you could attempt to make it workable. For example,

[1] rewards -- I don't think you could tie rewards directly to people's paychecks. Do that too much and I think you'd create perverse incentives. But perhaps things like swag, gifts, time off, or just bragging rights, honor, and glory might work.

[2] coordination -- a danger would people redundantly working on the same goal. You'd need a way to prevent that.

[3] other perverse incentives -- you might get an overabundance of folks choosing the "fun" goals, for example. (After all, engineers may be more motivated by that than other things.) Here I imagine the rewards for unsexy things would need to rise over time if nobody opted for them. Or, you make first dibs on some other "fun" goal the prize for achieving a less fun goal.

> NAT was a security feature, since it allowed for machines to access the Internet without being routable from the Internet for initiated connections

I'm sure you also know, that any stateful firewall can achieve the same result without having to provide NAT capabilities. Sure Cisco PIX may have been a security appliance, but that doesn't make NAT's a firewall. You don't need Network Address Translation to create a firewall that allows devices to connect to the internet, but makes those machines unrouteable to unsolicited requests. For your claim that NATs are meant to be a firewall, you need to provide an explanation as to why we don't use NATs with IPv6.

Why would increasing the IP address space so that it's once again possible to get routable allocation for indivual workstations, result in people not deploying IPv6 NATs, when apparently they're an important security tool for IPv4, in even in the days when "it was still feasible to get routable allocations for individual workstations"?

The system is broken; if youtube (etc) do not respond to DMCA takedown requests on time, their service may be taken down - and back when YT was new and people were uploading movies and whatnot left right and center, they were very close to that. The consequences for YT for not taking something down vs invalid takedowns are much worse and more direct.
Plain Text diffing has some obvious drawbacks:

1. If you rearrange your functions you will see a lot of additions and deletions while semantically there is no change in the program. It's just noise.

2. If you rename a variable you don't really have any actual change in places where it is referenced but text diff will again show a lot of noise. But the code references is still the same code.

Property testing is a lot like formal methods - really cool, but almost entirely useless in ~95% of commercial contexts.

They're both extremely useful when, say, building a parser, but when the kind of code you write involves displaying custom widgets, taking data and pushing it onto a queue, looking up data in a database, etc. integration tests have a lot more bang for the buck.
> We have been combatting a huge volume of fake YouTube videos that are attempting to steal user funds. Unfortunately, in our mission to protect users from scams, false positives (very) occasionally slip through.

So did ChainPatrol have the video taken down for copyright infringement or for "attempting to steal user funds"? Did ChainPatrol have to file an actual DMCA takedown notice to take down 3Blue1Brown's video? If so, would this not be perjury?
I'm no lawyer, but the connection to the Radio Act seems somewhat tenuous. In that situation, foreign governments would have to argue they have a free speech right to broadcast their message. In the TikTok ban case, it's not about TikTok's right to speech, it's about American's right to both receive speech and to speak. Americans can use TikTok as a platform of speech, which is different then the Radio Act.

There also already exists speech on TikTok that Americans have the right to hear, so the ban is more akin to the Lamont case mentioned in the article, IMO.
> When it comes to the courtroom, she says she has seen a shift in day-to-day proceedings with a "healthy skepticism" toward police and prosecutors, which she attributes to the popularity of true crime content.

I'm more inclined to attribute this to the fact that when everyone got a high-resolution video camera in their pocket, we got no new compelling evidence for UFOs but lots of it for police brutality.

ByteDance already has Lemon8 as its fallback plan. I wonder how that will pan out.
Nah, I'd expect under this model insurance would become readily available. Insurers live on the margins, so even though it would cost a lot of money if you crash that boring mid-range car into somebody's house, the insurer doesn't charge you a lot of money to insure you against that risk, they're betting that on average you're not going to do that. As a safeguard they probably don't insure kids who just got bought a Ferrari as their first car, or anybody who has just done time for crashing their car into a house on purpose, but mostly they're just playing the numbers.
The sold listings for "miscut dollar bill" would beg to differ.

I am _always_ and _continually_ surprised at what people will pay for things. Literally _nobody_ scaled back their consumption or purchasing during post-COVID inflation. Home prices are sky-high but it's still a sellers market because buyers are scared that prices will jump again and instead of simply being a difficult purchase, maybe next year it will be an impossible one. Must be easy money being a realtor right now.

Every time I have sold something on Craigslist or FB Marketplace in the last few years, I list it 25% higher than what I'd actually pay if I were buying it myself and expect to be negotiated down to something sensible. So far, excluding the low-effort moronic "what's your lowest price" texts, exactly ZERO buyers have tried to negotiate down.

I have come to the conclusion that most people simply have no upper limit to what they will pay for something they want. A few will scoff and turn away. Some will complain about it on the Internet, but most will buy it anyway. I don't run a business but if I did, this would be my golden rule of pricing.

my feed is pretty boring there:d
The mother very quickly starts producing more milk than the calf can drink. In the wild the milk production levels off to the level of the calf's intake (and then slowly rises to match their needs as they age and then tapers off as they age further).

In a small dairy situation the calves are kept off of the cows for either the morning or the evening milking and so the cows' milk production remains high the entire time. The calf weans, but from the cow's udder's perspective the calf is still suckling like mad and so the cow keeps producing milk. The calf grows up and is bred themselves, doubling the milk output over the course of two to three years.

Now this isn't sustainable in a paperclip-optimizer kind of way, so only the best milkers are kept and the ones that either have a hard time getting pregnant, or are ornery, or produce less milk, or get sick regularly wind up getting harvested for their meat. But there's no need to kill the calves (at the local dairy scale).

I agree, but the economics currently don't favor YouTube caring enough to solve this sort of problem

In fact, everything aligns to incentivize them not to care: making the barrier to make a successful claim higher and the larger rights-holders start to cause problems; the cost of seriously adjudicating claims is substantial and may well be unsustainable.

The consequences of bad policy are also quite low for them: most channels that will get hit unjustly have too small an audience to be heard; fixing problems for the larger creators is one-off enough that it's simply cost efficient to squash those when they happen; any bad publicity doesn't seem to be sufficient enough to cause a siginficant drop in either viewers or content creators willing to stick with the platform.... in fact I expect most content creators so unjustly hit this way would simply swallow the indignity and loss and continue p YouTube.

I don't know the laws or agreements at play here, but it seems like some sort of class action suit, if feasible, would be the only way to scale these complaints into something that YouTube management might take seriously.
What's the first amendment right being violated in this case?
That's already the status quo, random nobodies with their art ripped off by OpenAI or some content mill on YouTube don't have the benefit of hiring companies to perform takedowns.
