I used to be super into my cooking knives, but after a decade of using everything from rubber handled target chef knives to 300+$ japanese art-work knives, I've learned that it's better to buy a 40 dollar chef knife every 3 years

Youtube still certainly does, from ads played before users without ad blockers can watch the videos.

Gun channels have almost all been demonetized. In fact, just about every vertical is "demonetized" in large portions of their content creators. It's almost like youtube is the only one profiting at scale, weird.

but - not being able to conduct its investigation doesn't automatically cause China to be in the wrong. More evidence is needed here. (Independent review being disallowed nationally is a bigger concern I will admit)

Playing on a 4 year old gaming PC with a 1080. Have had no real problems in the 50ish hours I have in. A little sluggish through some of the open world parts until I dialed the graphics back to "high". I think part of the proble

The question on the 4473 says "are you an unlawful user of.." That requires both currency (are you...) and breaking a law (unlawful). Please don't spread misinformation.

Why is it wrong? If the end stage of that chick is an adult that costs more to feed than it's worth, causes a price increase to consumers, and it still ends up killed and processed in some way, why not just humanely kill it instantly?

Nothing in industry to that scale goes to waste. It makes money, whether in pet feed, animal feed, or stock as someone below mentioned (that's news to me). It may seem unsavory to some but if there were a more profitable use of the c

I'm so sick of seeing New Zealand get praise for it's response. Just like Iceland, it's a tiny ass island, and yes - if you close your borders, don't produce or import anything globally, of course you'll knock it o

Maybe, but more likely no. Path of least risk and resistance is for them to declare it internally to be kept quiet. An army of internal counsel would be telling everyone in the room to keep their mouth shut to prevent everything from PR is

I think your point of "cost considerations" is at the heart of what bothers me about this paper. The laws about seatbelts, car seats, etc. came at the same time as a general sense of more parental responsibility as a whole. A fe

As I said, journalism sponsored by entities that may want to sway you. That can be anything from simple advertising, to state-controlled media.

Media is one of the most complicated problems we face in this age. We have on one side a desire for information to be free, and on the other side a desire to profit for one's labor. The middle ground between that is to attract people

PDF's ubiquity is 100% that it printed the same (or close to same) on any postscript compatible printer. It's tech so old many in the industry ignore the reason it existed (and still exists). Every solution beyond PDF has also b

I think you should start with the Media and freedom of speech. They've done more harm than all of those things in the last few decades.

Any discussion about China has to be taken with more than a small amount of skepticism about the truth in reporting.

Everything will kill you, in sufficient quantities. The question is whether its use outweighs the risks, and I'd venture to say PTFE if called upon to settle accounts has done the world more good than harm.

It's a great showcase of how a flashy looking solution is the wrong approach. A good candidate will know it can be written in 2 lines recursively, but that the stack will explode with a fairly low term number, and that iterating with

Why not just use a syntax highlighting approach on the address bar? Protocol one color, domain another, slashes one color, query params another, etc.

Given the lengthy incubation time, and lack of symptoms in many, it could certainly have taken months to be indistinguishable from any other virus. The first few generations of infected people would likely have been handfuls.

Absolute speculation here - SeatGeek, and every other company in the secondary event ticketing marketplace, makes all of their money from advertising spend. Google pay per click, facebook ads, etc. I would not be surprised given cash flow
