Aren't YouTube's customers the advertisers paying to have their ads displayed? YouTubers are not customers. At best, I believe they are "partners" (like with Twitch)

Hello, number 9) doesn't say what the task is? Also, I always wondered, do those methods work universally on all languages? For example Chinese, Korean and Japanese, with different alphabets.

On one hand, I found this comment from Linus about CMOV in 2007, explaining that CMOV is generally a bad idea (but maybe it changed in 13 years) : https://yarchive.net/comp/linux/cmov.html On the other hand : &quo

Reading this document suddenly made learning Rust a lot scarier, and also increases my respect to Rust developers (people writing programs in Rust). It kind of shows that increased safety doesn't come for free.

YT, FB and other platforms would like too. For them, more content = more viewers = more ads. The current situation is because governments passed laws to regulate the type of content they are allowed to show. The "phone company" is

Interestingly there is no support for Rust. Is it because Rust is bullet proof, or too young to be considered for now?

I may be misunderstanding this thread, but what the parent is saying is that the BLE permission in Android was _never_ meant for privacy focused contact tracing, and you are saying this is not a secret. This is why Google and Apple develope

I'm not a lawyer, but that doesn't seem correct. What about non-profit or general interest associations? They achieve goals with transactions of money and goods, but not for profit. Are non-profit associations considered "com

Even decentralized, there always will be a central authority in the system that you will have to trust to not misbehave in the future. The other issue is that contact tracing (decentralized or not) is exploitable. In Korea, people sometime

Oddly, that behavior looks very human. If the loopholes found by AI are related to energy conservation, that's a healthy result. Human students and workers need a fair amount of "work specifications" (years of teaching, decad

We don't know how many people covid19 would kill if everyone were infected. Given the data we have now about covid19, cars probably killed more people in the last 15 years than covid19 will kill people in the next 15 years.
