But ad blockers are happy to edit videos to remove sponsorship segments, so they'd also be happy to remove his self promotion. Ad blockers don't care about the exact form of ads, right? They just want to get rid of all of them lea

Presumably he would care if users used an ad blocker that deleted his ads for his store, given that he appears to be using YouTube as a way to advertise his real business.

All you've done is double down on the ad hominem, then attack her husband, then address something irrelevant. The complaint here isn't related to reproducibility, it's the reef scientist's own data that shows a huge rebo

No, the problem was found during "engine work by a third party", so they weren't checking it because of regulations. It was noticed during routine maintenance. Airlines do safety checking because they don't want their cu

The tool in question isn't openly available, you have to apply to get access to it. So I don't think the arms race problem exists here.

There were such sites actually. Germany used to have one, it even looked just like Facebook and had some modest success for a time, but soon disappeared. I can't quite remember the name. Mostly in Europe people just don't set up s

Yes, that's exactly how they played it with the Great Barrier Reef. It bleached, they said it was horrendously damaged in a way that would take a decade to recover, then three years later it was in rude health. Now journalists have los

Ad hominem is the last resort, so apparently you are forced to accept the truth but can't quite handle it. Relax, the news is good! The only problem here is that people aren't hearing about it from the sources they trust.

This problem was found by the airlines, not by regulators, so what's the relevance?

It wasn't an error. It was a deliberate strategy, they still do it, they sometimes admit that they do it (without consequence) and it was more than just Fauci/CDC. A few other examples: 1. The recent Nobel Prize for the mRNA vacci

The point of the article is that they don't communicate their professional interpretations of the data. They pick how they want people to act, and then say whatever sounds scientific that will yield that outcome. This seems to be a com

Well running something "in the cloud" can be arbitrarily complicated, so that's a kinda undefined question. The simplest equivalent is just regular apps that save data to somewhere that's backed up.

Yes people think local-first sounds fun but in mission-critical scenarios it's horrible. Post Office abandoned it as soon as networks got good enough (~2010) with the old local-first replicating version being phased out as "Horizo

People who are serious about this topic should start by studying past examples. Once upon a time all software was local first, and there's plenty to study there about what changed and why. The masters of this game are Apple. Bar none.

Kinda the opposite, there are lots of cases where juries were swayed by apparently scientific or technical evidence that later turned out to be bunk. "Computer says so" is an incredibly powerful legal attack, second only to "

It's pretty obvious what's going on, as this is one of several related actions all of which are intended to penalize or restrict car usage. We know the safety argument isn't the real reason because nothing has changed about s

You can project a baseline like that and get a higher number for 2020, but 2019 is still abnormally low and those people who survived 2019 had to die at some point. I'm happy to grant a different baseline though. It goes from being a r

I mean, arguments about the difference between the two are interesting in an academic sort of way if you're into Marxist theory, but the USSR called itself a union of socialist states. North Korea's constitution says it's a

The Oxford Stringency Index doesn't correlate in any way with COVID deaths so it's unclear what point you're getting at here. None of the NPIs had any effect on COVID.

Fine, but none of that is how the policies are being justified, which is what the actual complaint is here. It's not that no justification can be conceived of. You don't get to kvetch about how boringly logical and evidence-based

The decisions haven't really been explained by the standards of explanation you might expect for such a move, at least not everywhere. In Wales the official explanation is: Welsh ministers said a 20mph (32km/h) limit would reduce

Maybe you should ask some older eastern Europeans what they think about socialism, before haughtily speaking for everyone who lives in Europe. Socialism and its national variant wrecked Europe in the 20th century. People celebrated when it
