   Maybe, but the series before that had nothing to do with flask or news. For instance a video in a series about writing a Go web app had these tags: golang, http, server, redis, gorilla mux, go-redis, web, application, tutorial, howto And it

   I uploaded a video yesterday that's already demonetized. It's part of a series to write an RSS feed reader in Python (specifically the part about adding static files to the server). Tags: python, rss, feedparser, feed reader, news

   Every single video, without exception, that I've uploaded in the past few months has been demonetized within a day or two. Then I request manual review and they're monetized again within another day or two. My content is clean and

   I think the point they were trying to make is that the people who live in the house don't care that the nails are all hammered in with a screwdriver, but the people building it should.

   That's how it sounded to me too. Besides that, what's the advantage of having Wikipedia as an onion vs visiting the site from Tor over HTTPS? Wouldn't that mean you're just adding this onion proxy to your circle of trust

   Seeing the recent wave of discourse surrounding social media platforms has been interesting. We had similar problems before them. Tabloids, conspiracy theory subculture, clickbait, etc, are nothing new. And we had "feed readers" t

   True. I live a minimalist lifestyle by design but I don't live on a farm or anything. Unless your main source of pleasure is having the nicest car, newest gadgets, various status symbols, etc, then you can trade your labor hours toward

    This may be an unpopular opinion around here, but... When do we get to the point where we recognize that the internet is officially holding up massive portions of industry, commerce, education, and communication. And that it should maybe

    I've found RT to be incredibly right leaning and pro-Russian.

    I don't know why you're making assumptions about me personally or my preference towards news (Vice isn't one of my usual news sources fwiw) rather than keeping it to the subject. But I don't believe that Vice has quite t

    There is a subtle but noteworthy difference between first amendment-protected opinionated reporting and foreign state sponsored propaganda.

    It's interesting to me how upset so many people got about the level of detail that the NSA collected while so many hand over their entire digital presence to FB and Google. Maybe they think "you don't have to use FB"...

    A lot of the comments here seem to focus on the issue of regulating FB because of their social media output and potential for spreading fake news, etc. But the thing I would want more regulation on is their possession of personal data and t

    "quickest car in the world" is an interesting choice of word. Is that to stand out from the slogan tropes like "fastest car in the world" / "fastest in its class"?
