I can't seem to make the switch away from Chromium devtools. I don't know whether it's because I am habituated to the Chromium ones or whether there is something klunky about the Firefox devtools that I can't put my fing

My comment was less about religion as belief in God and more about religion as its societal impact. Humans who believed in something with devotional fervor instituted blasphemy laws and censorship. Today's humans believe in other thing

This kind of puritanical worldview has now taken over so many aspects of culture. If you said a joke 10 years ago, i.e. blasphemed against some sacred topic, you can't host the Oscars anymore. It was stupid then and it's stupid no

Fwiw even timatic is wrong. I visited your link and entered India and Turkey as departure and arrival for Indian nationals. The system advised me to apply for an eVisa, however eligibility criteria for eVisas is exclusive to folks who have

I would never, ever, ever trust a third party for visa requirements. A product like this is conceptually flawed, because it is defeated by better judgement.

There are simpler solutions like Maximum ad balance = 3 ad bucks Watching an ad requires clicking the watch button, so you can't queue them up. People can walk away, minimize or block the ad even now.

Users can already just swap to another window or block the ad outright. In my view this should eliminate the ad blocking group entirely.

What if monetized videos can't be viewed without spending "ad bucks"? To earn "ad bucks", you have to watch an ad. The ad watching takes place in a dedicated ads section of the site, completely independent of all vi

Can the teams at Google experience processes where they talk to their customers, iterate, talk to customers, iterate again and move fast and break stuff - releasing at each step of the way and measuring their intended A/B/C tests?

Maybe they weigh the risk of creators leaving vs advertisers leaving. High profile creators haven't left yet. Advertisers have already bluffed a number of times and Google didn't call them on it.

Are any of these business models transparent? I think a lot of it runs on pure faith. If I spend $10,000 on an ad, is there a way to prove that I got $10,000 worth of advertising and not $8,000? If I am a content creator and my content gene

Let's say YouTube's parent company invests in a new cosmetics company that's doing make-up tutorials on YouTube. Is it fair for YouTube to then de-monetize the independent content creators who are creating make-up tutorials a

Sadly this seems to be becoming a common far-left tactic of the police being ordered to stand down while masked assailants attack a crowd of people espousing incorrect opinions.
