It doesn't. Brandenburg and the related case law is clear on this. "Imminent" doesn't mean "someone else plots to assassinate a CEO and does it four months later." It means right now, like standing in the street pointing to the CEO and shouting to an armed crowd "shoot him!"

Generalized calls to violence are perfectly legal and have been a part of American political culture for centuries. Sometimes it's much hotter than others (the 1960s were pretty hot), but so it goes. I personally wouldn't do it, and I don't agree with these statements or these cards, but people have a right to say it.
They aren’t applied inconsistently. Distinguishing between lawful and unlawful forms of violence is a perfectly consistent way to go about it.

>like is there a correlation between better lighting at the start of the video and less viewer drop off (there is, have good lighting at the start of the video haha)

This gives me the smell and sight of red flags in their methodology. It reeks of unsuspected hidden variables. Such as what is really going on is that focusing on lighting in the beginning of the video simply makes people put more thought into the into thereby having a hook that keeps people interested, rather than lighting having anything to do with it.

That means this is just a pseudoscience blog of throwing darts to me. Sure call me a curmudgeon or whatever.
OK. The question is now why is it such a rare instance of doing the right thing. Facebook was the engine of the Rohingya massacre and did absolutely nothing. Some lives are clearly more precious than others.
And in that case:

> Horsley was named as a co-conspirator in a successful civil suit, Planned Parenthood v. American Coalition of Life Activists,[5] filed by Planned Parenthood over the information compiled by him and "Unwanted Posters" of doctors, which was judged by the court to constitute a threat of violence, even without an explicit call to violence.

> The case was reheard en banc, and the court determined that the files constituted "true threats" that are not constitutionally protected.

These cards are really pushing the boundary of what is legal, and I have no problem with platforms choosing not to do business with him.
The 'brain drain' (as you refer to it) stems from intelligent/motivated grads in the US for the last two decades (at least) pursuing more lucrative fields like finance and adtech (re: Google, Facebook). Or some pursue management route (attending big MBA schools and switching to management roles where they climb corporate ladder). In other words, there are not a lot of college/grad students who want to pursue traditional engineering routes in the US.

I myself was an electrical engineering (EE) major until I switched to computer science in my third (junior) year of college because like a friend of mine at the time told me, "<my name>, if you don't major in computer science, you will not be able to find a job easily after graduation". He was right. All of my former college friends in EE ended up pursuing programming jobs (a few of them now works for FAANG; I used to work for one but left a year ago due to RTO). That is why the US has no sufficient personnel to do traditional engineering jobs and we have shipped off a lot of those to foreign countries.
An explanation where companies intentionally didn't follow through would be less clearly fake job listings. The jobs are 100% fake even if they may be from companies more likely to have real listings than average and it is an extravagant astroturfing deception coordinated by a government to collect market information. If this were done by a University, an ethics board would halt it.
Re the first point: Why do you think it is so difficult to transfer chip production off Taiwan?

I don’t think this is about salaries. Nor is this about facilities.

This is about process know-how. And it’s currently not available outside of Taiwan. I’m glad we’re finally starting to transfer knowledge. It will take a couple more years.
The high-earning individual might not get the 50k-100k USD/year back directly, but it supports a social safety net where people dying of cancer et al do not have to resort to GoFundMe campaigns. It also supports infrastructure and sociatal building with reduced influence of private companies acting as gatekeepers for individual participation.

To me, that is worth the taxation even I myself (probably) will never have to use most of the safety net.
Do you also think that if a business loses money, the employees should give some of their pay back to the business? Or does this just go one way?
Btrfs did not support that until Linux 5.5 when it added RAID1c3. On its mirror devices instead of doing mirroring, it just stores 2 copies, no matter how many mirror members you have.

I don't care so much about the dumb brain melting. However, what MrBeast and other youtubers do is exploitative to their audiences (which in the case of MrBeast skews young).

It's not great to see young kids addicted to content designed primarily to rob them of their money with false claims of success. "Oh, if you send me money, buy my shit, or subscribe to my channel, you could win millions of dollars!"

That sort of exploitative media should be illegal (and in the case of MrBeast appears to be illegal in some cases).

>I have been required to create fake job postings because of US immigration policy.

Your post is useful information and I believe you're telling things from your perspective.

But I gotten say required can't be the right word. A more correct to put things is "US immigration policy strongly encentivizes broadly dishonest behavior and we go along 'cause all other companies do".

If we're talking broad policy, the companies that are doing this sell immigration policies as being intended only for uniquely skilled individual but support policies that tie H1-b holders to a given company so their salaries are held down. And naturally, the point is that immigration policies broadly are aimed for both getting uniquely skilled individuals and to create an environment roughly lowering wages, some companies leaning on one part, some companies leaning on the other. And yeah, managers on the front lines indeed maybe only see the seemingly irrational results.
Just as the Taiwan government could continue to be, despite invasion from China.
> As I wrote in the book, “If creators are speaking their authentic truths, how can they also be accountable to audience feedback? I am personally bemused to see “authenticity” invoked as a criterion for what is ultimately and obviously a performance;

Who are you to deny their authenticity, though? If authenticity is being true to one’s own character, and one’s entire character is driven by YouTube video metric optimization (and perhaps ultimately by the profit thereby obtained), then isn’t their behavior on screen authentic?

Put another way, if MrBeast says “your goal is to make me excited to be on screen”, he’s explicitly saying he doesn’t want to have to act or otherwise be inauthentic on screen. Whether his excitement about a certain topic is tied to the views he expects it to garner is immaterial, if that’s his authentic motivation.

Or put yet another way, what drives anybody’s “authentic” behavior? What audience are they playing to? It may not be the entire internet, but it’s certainly influenced by “performance” in front of friends and family. We’re all Creations of our environment. MrBeast has just kind of found himself in an environment where feedback from YouTube videos motivates him and creates a ton of positive feedback loops.

You can still get every user access through RSS

And these jokes started back in the 80s?

I think you may have this a bit backwards and there’s some conflation going on between real social phenomena and people who find those phenomena too ridiculous to believe and decide to make jokes about it.

I can assure you the basis for the home schoolers, anti-vaxxers, and raw milk consumers wasn’t some joke. They came from disgraced scientists, church leaders, quack doctors, etc.

I’m not saying there has never in history been a joke that directly led to a conspiracy theory or social movement, but the history of many of these things is pretty well documented and several of the categories you mentioned have origins in the 70s/80s.
Coming from the hardware world, wait until you learn about e-fusing chips to lower tier products!

I've worked at a place where there was exactly one chip and ~8 ways to disable different things to make the whole product family, with nearly 2x difference in cost between low and high. This is usually done by disabling bad sections of the chip, but if yields are too high, you just disable functioning bits of good chips. Our yields were great. :-|
More so in the Chinese-speaking world and South Korea because the industrialization/urbanization is more recent, so there's rising demand in the urban areas with high population growth, resulting in high prices.

Japan's urbanization stopped long ago, and it's not taking in immigrants fast enough, so the urban areas have stopped growing.

The mentality refers to East Asia's deep agrarian root that places high value on owning land that can be passed down the generations (the alternative was often quasi-servile farm labour that locks families in poverty). Property purchases are usually multi-generational efforts, so families can generally take the brunt of overinflated prices.
> Hotels generally dislike third-party booking sites, because they're just skimming off profits while offering a worse service

The problem is, the customers tend to want said third-party sites. Hotels have, at least for the masses, become a commodity - 99% of people just need a place to crash because they're out all day - and so customers expect to be able to shop around purely based on price and a bit on the location.
I think part of the issue is that this is where the abstraction that we call "account ownership" starts to leak.

You may correctly have access to an account through this scenario, but that does not make it your account. This becomes obviously when we consider an account at a bank, for example.

Some of the demand induced by ads is useful; people becoming aware of stuff they didn’t know exists, and finding that it provides a useful service for them.

But most ads are trying to convince you to buy their brand’s version of a product that you already know of, or (even worse!) a new version of an old product. Any demand induced there is just wastefulness.

If Amazon can figure out that I’m interested in headphones, I already know more actual information about headphones than their ads will give me.
90% of drivers consider themselves above average, and where I grew up we had pronghorns, which could pass you and cut in front of you even at 55.

While reducing speed when you see deer is important, you won't see the one you hit.

In my case it jumped over a road barrier from below, it would have been impossible to see.

But human perception is limited, the best drivers I know (not including myself in this) respect their limits.

Urban areas have higher rates because there tend to be more conflicts, it is just mathematics.

Pedestrians, dogs, etc.. all work as replacements for deer above.
You don't want to tax wealth. Most billionaires wealth is tied into equity, and forcing someone to sell a share of the company to pay tax isn't something that seems right. Its easy to justify this now where companies do things you don't like, and taxes seem good like this because it feels like punishment, but it could also be that someone owns a company that actually does good things, and paying taxes could mean that he/she over time looses the controlling interest.

The thing that I would tax is ability to take out loans against assets - meaning that you have to pay equivalent capital gains tax if you use equity as collateral for a loan. There would be some exceptions if that loan goes into things like business expansion that directly leads to creating jobs.

I would also tax inheritance transfer even in equity form.

> Yes, of course. If you believe that false claims of an opposite-sex identity constitute a harmful lie, why should you be compelled to endorse it?

Because such behavior is a direct and targeted attack on an individual or individuals, not the concept of gender identity, transness, etc.
> This is of course hideously inefficient as you scale larger, but that is not the question posed.

It's not just inefficient, you literally can't scale larger. Mirroring is all that RAID 1 allows for. To scale, you'd have to switch to RAID 10, which doesn't allow two-disk fault tolerance (you can get lucky if they are in different stripes, but this isn't fault tolerance.)

But you're right - RAID 1 also scales terribly compared to RAID 6, even before introducing striping. Imagine you have 6 x 16 TB disks:

With RAID 6, usable space of 64 TB, two-drive fault tolerance.

With RAID 1, usable space of 16 TB, five-drive fault tolerance.

With RAID 10, usable space of 32 GB, one-drive fault tolerance.

I know several people working as customer engineers in a fab based in America. They are very much not PhD‘s or even mechanical engineers.

They are each assigned one tool to maintain as you said. They each make around 100K and 3 12hr days per week.

They were working in the automotive industry before these jobs. Sounds pretty damn good to me, but I suppose that’s one reason American companies cannot compete with TSMC.
I know Zuck wasn't super popular on HN, but until these recent events, I saw him as someone generally reasonable and pragmatic.

My guess is that he's slowing been adhering to the Trump/Musk ideology (like a lot of people) and now is one of them.

It depends on how far from the intersection you are. If you can’t stop before the intersection, you shouldn’t slow down because you need to get through the intersection in time.

Those cars didn’t have time to stop safely. They would have had to slam on the breaks, which is very dangerous because the car behind you might not stop in time. Speeding up to get through in time is the right decision if you are very close to the intersection when the light turns yellow.

Nvidia isn't very big on opensource either. Most CUDA libraries are still closed source. I think this might eventually be their downfall, because people want to know what they are working with. For example with PyTorch, I can profile the library against my use case and then decide to modify the official library to get some bespoke optimization. With CUDA, if I need to do that, I need to start from scratch and guess as to whether the library from the api already has such optimizations.

I don't trust these because I don't think most people can self-identify in away that accurately describes their beliefs. It usually just boils down to a binary "left vs right".

There are many people who identify as "conservative", express their disdain for "leftists" over some rage-bait culture war topic of the week, but demand better workers' rights, support unionization, single payer healthcare, and other very leftist ideas.

Do you have kids in double digits?

Our senior schools (from age 11, "6th grade" in US term) literally mandate a phone (not a computer, an actual phone) for school, both to use in class and to receive homework assignments.
Another thought on that, if you use tmobile LTE data and tethering (or just book directly using LTE data on your phone, using firefox as a browser on android, with the user agent switcher extension installed to perfectly mimic a desktop useragent), it's near impossible for random websites to determine where you are at geographically. The CGNAT exit point for my tmobile service when roaming in Canada bounces around between IP space that geolocates to either chicago, texas or los angeles.

Whereas if you use a residential cablemodem or DSL or FTTH connection in some specific city, where you're likely not behind cgnat and the ivp4 /22 or larger sized IP block you are "coming from" remains consistent on a multi year basis, 3rd party geolocation providers are much more likely to say "yep that person is in the SF bay area"

They'll be flown from the US to Taiwan for packaging, at least until packaging services exist here.

I think it is valid to expect some experience with major frameworks, but framework experience without understanding the underlying concepts usually indicates someone who is pretty limited in being able to solve more difficult problems.

Should homeschool. The elimination of peer pressure makes alot of these choices dead simple. "But all the other 11 yr olds are going to the 3am tattoo orgy" just isn't a counter-argument I'll ever hear in my household.

The real trouble is that you're constantly running around playing whackamole with the router, there must be 3 or 4 dozen social media platforms I have to police. And Youtube, like it or not, is probably essential, so it can't be blocked really... my daughter is using it today to learn to sharpen knives (wasn't a boy scout, never learned it myself). Though, last week I expected that she'd want to use it for cheesemaking, but she worked from a written-word recipe (was kind of proud of that). Best advice for Youtube is to just try to keep an eye on what they gravitate to when watching and steer them away from the garbage.
Well said. Heavy aside coming.

I think is another example of monotheistic cultures favoring linear narratives, rigid taxonomies and 1 to 1 causal chains. This is the world that we live, that we seek The Reason (singular) that something is the way it is. And if it isn't it the way we want, what ever is closer to the root of the taxonomy needs to get replaced.

If that KKK leader then handed out a list of people a list of people to kill, I suspect it would be a VERY different situation than vague and non-specific talk of vengeance. Specifying targets, especially in the wake of a highly publicized assassination, is not abstract.

"The guy also posted "the CEO must die" to his Instagram."

Provisioning a hit-list in the context of a call to murder the people described isn't abstract or vague either. At best it's a terroristic threat.
Meta says 5% staff cut is critical to further AI, social media
