In an ideal world, I don't think opinionated manipulation of the underlying dataset is a good idea. If you want to avoid outliers dominating your analysis, you should aggregate it in an outlier resistant method like using the median or

Has that ever not been the case? Every single "Tell HN" starts out unsubstantiated - getting to the front page is what usually substantiates them.

If you add /feed on a substack site there's a RSS feed for it. I don't know about paid substacks, but that's how I consume a few free ones.

Plex (and plexamp) have really brought back the old iTunes interface I didn't know I was missing. I can search and get a list, I can sort within that list by whatever I want, I can create a "smart playlist" for "100 trac

Like several other comments here, I had the same experience as you and decided to go with plex. What no one mentioned is that plex allows you to add a tidal library in addition to your self hosted content. It's not a perfectly seamless

I don't think the parent comment is describing the humanitarian crisis going this far back, but the US is at least partially responsible for the pre-9/11 Taliban going back to the support of the Afghan mujahideen in the Cold War.

Sure, that's plausible, but it seems equally likely that Youtube _can_ detect videos that violate their policy and yet chooses to wait until they get some threshold of reports/media attention because those videos are also very eng
