I had a similar thing happen with gameplay videos containing wind noise. The videos were uploaded in 2014, but I get copyright claims from a song that was released in 2017. This seems like a major oversight in Content ID, it should force th

Ripple is for people that don't have a clue what any of those words mean. I see people all around me investing in Ripple, because 'it's the next Bitcoin.' These people haven't invested in or even paid attention to c

> The average student loan debt is something like $40K, not $200K You are correct, I picked the most extreme cases to make a point. Here in the Netherlands €40k is about the maximum you'd get and that is after taking your time and h

> a country with better opportunity as an immigrant It's virtually impossible to immigrate to the US without any financial backing, like a stack of cash or an employer wanting to hire you. So yes, the odds of an immigrant succeeding

You're mixing multiple discussions into one: - Does welfare help opportunity? - Is social mobility the same as opportunity? The bottom one is the one we're discussing and the answer is yes, because that's what it is. Social m

I think you misunderstand what Social Mobility is, Wikipedia says it's: > the movement of individuals, families, households, or other categories of people within or between social strata in a society. It is a change in social status

So many assumptions... Like the common mistake in assuming that everybody on the internet is from the US. I'm not. There's plenty of stuff that I can get from Amazon.com much cheaper than I can get it here. Also, there's stuf

When I traveled to NYC I had a bunch of stuff from Amazon delivered to my AirBnB. I would've probably bought that in stores if Amazon didn't exist. The only stuff I bought in stores was pants and shoes, since US sizes tend to be d

You get downvotes because of a probable combination of: - You comment this on a comment that already describes exactly what Fox-IT is. - You imply that anything that happens on another continent than yours is time "wasted". - Whic

I created nearly the same presentation this week. It's good to see that I didn't miss much, though this one goes deeper, which I don't do on purpose. I'll probably send the attendee this presentation afterwards for those

I just want a car with OTA updates that is affordable (a.k.a. not Tesla). My current car has a bug where the crash mitigation system always gets triggered at a specific spot with white lines on the road. I can easily reproduce the issue, so

You are correct. I used to work for a company in the Netherlands that does this for a couple of big brands, often for every store worldwide. I was in technical support for the music players. They had two guys, who were also DJ's in som

How about accidental deaths? If you don't have a gun, there's a very slight chance that your kid will accidentally shoot itself in the head. In most European countries, accidental gun deaths aren't a thing at all. In the US h

> Gay marriage is a prime example I think it's a horrible example in this context, because you can't compare being gay to being a drug abuser. One of them is nature, the other is nurture (at least, that's what research say

The screenshot in OP's post and this[0] comment, make me think that cheap plans will mostly allow you to use apps/sites where the companies pay the ISP. These will be things like YouTube and Netflix, who need visitors for profit.

Many Americans are just really afraid of anything being controlled by the government. It's why they keep doing stuff that us Europeans don't understand, like not having strict gun control, not having affordable health care, not ha

First of all, I figured out that there's no 'it'. It's a portfolio of products ranging from image recognition as a service to on premise NLP and enterprise search. All these products have their own specific use cases, so

So, what does this actually mean for quantum computing? I have hardly any understanding of the subject, so to me it seems odd that a breakthrough in simulation is very relevant. I also don't have a research background, so it may be tha

I hope this actually works, but I'm very skeptical. Very recently I went to a resort in the Dominican Republic, where the main language is Spanish. Most waiting staff spoke good English, so everything was fine, until one of the people

That's why I mentioned gun control. This won't stop everybody though. Here in the Netherlands we have tight gun control and we still had a mass shooting with licensed guns. Also, we've seen many attacks in Europe recently wit

There isn't an easy solution for this type of thing. They will keep happening no matter what you do to try and stop them. Gun control will probably help halt the ones that happen as an impulsive action, but there's no regulation t

I feel like these types of cars will get a huge market share once we get to full autonomy and decreased ownership. Many people (like me) mostly use their cars to commute, but get larger cars so they can use tem for vacations and other times

I searched for US in general, but I can imagine SV salaries cause the national average to increase a lot. Then again, from my experience, most Dev who want to move to the US want to move to SV or NYC, partially because of the salaries and f
