Not really - if I hated a video or wanted to gouge out my eyeballs after seeing it, I am likely to "dislike" it or comment with an angry rant. That's also engagement and that's what social media wants, not stuff I enjoy,

YouTube's recommendations aren't based on what you want to see the most, they're based on what will earn the most money through engagement. You're going to see recommendations for monetized channels, channels that have l

I'm curious how much of the 4-day workweek movement is driven by religious obligation. Jews rest on the Sabbath which typically falls on Saturdays, plus high holy days. Christians rest on the Lord's Day, which falls on Sundays, pl

Here's the problem: developers cut their teeth on twitch video games and so they have no compunction about forcing users to play a video game at every app and every web page we encounter. It's funny, I frequent a government-owned

Because the loopback address doesn't work like that. 127.0.0.0/8 is defined as all loopback, which means the OS shouldn't differentiate between them, so any VMs binding on 127.* are going to interfere with the OS binding ther

The family in the West has been attacked and decimated and denigrated and deprecated. I am not sure whether it can survive. Women's/universal adult suffrage damaged our family unit by saying that the single voice/vote for a h

A terminal emulator is a high-value large attack surface that any hacker worth his salt would love to get into the supply chain. Therefore, unless your Unix machines are toys, it's a good idea to stick to reputable and well-maintained

FYI, in case you're unfamiliar with Meopotamian geography and history: the Babylonian Empire and modern-day Iraq overlapped by a lot, and there are plenty of artifacts and ruins to be seen around there, at least those that haven't

Interesting article and story. I don't rightly recall ever hearing about this particular incident. I was 8; so I wonder if/when details were released to the public. You really wonder -- this would be a hugely dangerous incident an

I must qualify this by pointing out that I have mixed feelings about the 988 line. It streamlines the hospital pipeline for committing people who are DTS/DTO (5150) status, and let me tell you, that is an easy status to earn or gain. T

In these United States, there are now two emergency numbers which can be dialed: 911 and 988, for mental health crises. The last time I removed the SIM from my Android phone, I tested 988; unsurprisingly I was not able to contact the servic

Cures for cancer aren't allowed. They would hurt the research and grant-receiving community far too much. The FDA would never approve a cancer cure. So don't worry too much about an... acceptable... cure for cancer emerging.
