That's sort of the direction I've moved to with gvid. I now think of it as a reflection of human memory, of videos that impacted us. I think of that being the point of data more broadly now. Then you can optionally try to do useful things with that data. If you think there is a video worth preserving through it up. The advantage over catbox or a site like that is that its not going to be lost as a forgotten link. It will still get suggested to people. We can preserve our experiences of the internet, because I think there was something unique about it.

If you are using microsoft anything you are an idiot.

Never the most cost effective. Never the most performant. Never the most options or configurable. Never trustworthy. There are always 50 billion better ways to do something for every one of their products.

Running a server, why would you use microsoft?
Running a database, why would you use microsoft?
Need cloud storage, why would you use microsoft?
Need an OS, why would you use microsoft?
Need some word processing? OnlyOffice. Why would you pay for something when there is something designed to work 100% identically with no cost and no keys.

What I don't get is how privacy advocates are constantly concerned about microsoft, and clearly not for zero reason, and that never translates to a corporate concern. They have back doors. In security we should be concerned with what is possible, not what you think will happen. If microsoft could steal all of your data and software then you failed.

It spread it. There was definately a lot of it in 2016. That was a core theme that lead a lot of new people to the right in that era was that there were all these feminists saying absurd things and when opposed they were told that whatever they say in opposition means they hate women no matter how reasonable they were being. None of them hated women, but the form of the feminists' arguments was intentionally playing chicken with reason, and people were rightly worried about a post reason world and where it could lead. Well now we saw it. Those feminists ended up being the nucleation site for a post-reason ideology that has now spread to the larger half of the population.

I honestly think the forced deprecation angle they applied to gnome 2 was silly and went against free software standards. Don't use the software you like using, instead upgrade to this drop in replacement that is not anywhere close to a drop in replacement.

Israel will find a way to be the odd man out, negotiate with others to side with it (or else) and against others, and there will be war between muslim countries again and proxy terrorism actions. The only way I could see something different is if Israel developed a friendly disposition to the broader group. But that would involve reducing its claimed borders to only those areas that are majorally Jewish and allow a palestinian state, and giving back the Golan Heights to Syria, at least for the purposes of oil.

No. A person is allowed to dislike or find disgusting any other person they please. People aren't trying to make their life miserable. They are just disagreeing with them because they are wrong and preservation of a society that accepts and respects physical reality is more important than their feelings. If they commit suicide because someone dislikes them the actual counciling they need is in accepting that people are allowed to have opinions of you and to learn to accept other people's opinions, more so than affirmation.

It's against the principles of the foundation of the US to be free to form opinions of people and to speak your mind? I think you need to open a textbook.

Last paragraphs. Citations hugely needed. Society is damanged by being post-reason, and demanding people acknowledge something that isn't a case for another person's suicide rate is not acceptable. I'm sure my suicide chances would go down, as low as they already are, if everyone told me I was 6'5" and the most attractive man in the world. Does that delta in suicide chance improve society when they lie to me. If you commit suicide because you can't accept physical reality or get others to reject it then you have the lamest reasons to commit suicide. People go through real hardship every day. Even just having a job. Any job. Is a harder toll on a person. If they can commit suicide over something so small then they were likely on edge to commit suicide in general for other reason. We should probably treat those other factors. Expectation management skills probably number one.

If I no longer see goat rape as disgusting isn't that a win for everyone? What if you no longer saw my views on trans as negative, wouldn't that be a win for everyone? What if trans recognized what they are is what they are physically, because to be is a physical condition, not a mental one. Then they would feel accepted for what they are both by society and themselves. Would that not be a win for everyone?

They've gotten people to give up other things for the "greater good" before. Their freedom, their right to breath, their gold. Next it will be your gun, your privacy, your family, your house, your car. All of those things I really think are in the plan. The 15 minute cities necessitate three out of five of those. It won't be a stretch to see a future where in combating the extremist boogie man (its always less and less extreme views that get labeled extreme and more and more extreme policy and rhetoric to address it), they will say that the family is the source of extremism and ideological variance. And their extremism requires that all "extremism" be ended by the most extreme means. Any opposition or unfavorable questions is extremism.

The problem with using PhotoDNA is I don't want to send visual data of every image a user uploads to a third party. Sure they can help you categorize one thing you need to moderate, but are they categorizing in more ways then one on their back end?

It's not really so much about wanting to not squash creativity as much as a believe that website owners shouldn't shape content if they are running a platform. Mark Zuckerberg shouldn't be in charge of how much people like or dislike a particular political view, social movement, or politician. I believe in applying slippery slope concepts on leaders and that if you are a leader you have to apply the same principles on yourself that you would like to see in other leaders. It's not my job to shape what people see, or upload, outside of methods that treat all content equally if its allowed on the site. So other sites categorize. On gvid there are only two categories, allowed on the site, not allowed on the site. That's it. So we don't support gore or pornography (differentiated from erotica or nudity, where porn for our purposes involves a sexual act). I'm not going to ban every video that has a girl dressed too sexy for some people to handle because then where is the line. Again I consider slippery slopes valid. And nudity is allowed because to some degree it is allowed on youtube, and gvid is at least a little more mature oriented than youtube (also vimeo and daily motion).

The other idea that I'm hoping will have an impact but I didn't write about because I thought it would be too long to write among the rest is I'm planning on moving to a multi-algorithm approach to suggestions where each suggestion came from a different algorithm and when you click on one it notes that's an algorithm that suits you and changes the balance that comes from each algorithm. Some of these are going to be dead simple. Random, New, Hot, New by uploader, Hot by uploader, and the current click through system which uses history, and the same click through system but only based on the current video. I'm hoping this tones down the strong idiosyncrasies of a click through suggestion system, one of the most prominent being people click on sexy videos. It should even tone down the suggestions made by that algorithm because the click through into videos suggested by other algorithms will be fed into it instead of it feeding into itself exclusively.

Other advantage is that people get into modes for how they want to watch. If people want to see random videos they will get suggested random videos. If people want to see new videos that will get suggested new videos. If they want to see something based on their history they will see that. If they are in a mood to see what is directly related to the video they just watched they will see that.

If you have patience with me I do think the multi-algorithm will do quite a lot to solve the problem. The idiosyncrasies of the current system feeds on itself and it is out of balance. I think the over dominance of sexy videos in some suggestions despite being 0.3% of videos is a reflection of that. Also we should consider the attention getting properties of those videos gets us to see it even more than it is present. It represents probably 1 in 60 suggestions. Depends on the browsing history of other people who watched each of the videos in your history. Because most people who visit from the outside don't watch a second video but the ones who click on a sexy video watch several sometimes a video can get bombed esp if its a newer video. If you see a video that gets bombed just click on and maybe watch several other videos afterward. When you see suggestions you are basically looking at the combined browsing history of everyone who watched it.

Also, all videos hijack attention to some degree. There is a reason why youtube is considered an unhealthy site esp because their algs are geared toward watch time, so their videos are designed to waste your time. So hijacking attention doesn't really form an exception. But I'm with you. I want to see less of it. I'm going to go forward with my plans to do it.

I think we missed some jet fuel memes when the russians took down that drone. Jet fuel can't break carbon fiber props. Then watch the other side argue that it can while entirely missing the meme.

Also the bank collapsing could be explained by the carpet also catching on fire fyi.

Fructose changes your metabolism (even a small amount does) making you retain any other high glicemic index foods you eat.

Think about it. When naturally is fructose available? When fruits come to harvest, a very narrow window naturally. Early man, and even animal, would have to glut on such an infrequent opportunity and store away the excess calories. Fructose is a signal to store fat. The Japanese diet has carbs but not fructose.

You can eat fructose, but then you have to watch your net calories. So fruit isn't going to automatically make you fat if your net calories are in balance. But a foreigner comes here without exposure to it and they discover they need a new kind of life management they've never needed before. Suddenly they have to pay attention to the total amount they eat.

Really the formula is fructose + net excess calories + carbs of any type consumed not in immediate proximity of intense physical work (before or after). If any of those is not present you likely will not get fat. If all of them are present you will get fat.

So glad I converted my PAXG into monero the second this stuff went down. So glad I didn't own USD for any of it.

Now the hard part. Predicting when bank failure season is over to go back to PAXG. You can see BTC and other non-pegged cryptos pulled back for a bit. People thought this was one and done. Nope. I knew it wasn't going to be just one. The problem is when we get to about 62 I won't know if we will get 63.

European financial regulators are fuming at "incompetent" US counterparts over SVB. For 15 years they attended "long and boring meetings" where everyone promised to do exactly the opposite of what the US just did when crisis struck. by Chipit in WorldNews

It doesn't help that our country is being sabotaged. China controls the key positions of power here. They want us to do anything besides what will lead to a good outcome in every theater of decision making.

Didn't diversify their institutions. Lefties never see the flaw of monolith services. Just use the most official solution. "You can't go wrong." The valley of no innovation.
