The raw comment is this:
[Digg.com](digg.com) didn't load for me, good start 😅
It’s missing the https:// protocol, so the link is assumed to be relative to the current page you’re on. It should have been formatted as
[Digg.com](https://digg.com/) and then it’ll look like: Digg.com
huh, really?? this post and the original is showing in !privacy@lemmy.ml for me, and going there, I see two posts with the same link:

I don’t see this post in !privacy@lemmy.world at all, even when checking on lemmy.world directly. I don’t think this is a federation issue.
I’ve never seen any interview as invasive as this, but i think simple take home assignments are useful to weed out people who don’t have basic skills for the role, can’t read instructions clearly, and/or don’t care enough for the role. It avoids me spending 30 minutes to an hour interviewing them to just reject them.
The roles i interview for are mid level devops based, and we’ve found that the best way to do this is to provide the candidate a simple git repo with 2 branches, which can’t be merged due to a merge conflict of two text files; no coding required. Just asking the candidate to resolve the merge conflict and write a README with the steps taken is enough to have more than half of the candidates unable to complete the task. If we interviewed all those candidates first, and then had to reject them, it would probably be 1 full working day per month in aggregate that would be utterly wasted.
Am I missing something but this isn’t cross posted from another community, right? the original post was in this community, !privacy@lemmy.ml, so why repost if it’s less than 12 hours later in the same community?
It should also be binding that if you declare that your assets are worth a certain value, the government has the option to buy the asset at that value, to avoid people under representing their net worth for unrealized gains.
If they have an ad read in the video, like a creator saying the video is sponsored by XYZ Corp, those could also be paid based on views of the video (in addition to the ad impressions by YouTube). Those ads are handled externally from YouTube’s ad platform, but they do rely on YouTube analytics and views being reported as legitimate.
Yeah, Honey is just exacerbating the inherent flaws in the system, and most of it can be dealt with having a limit of coupon usage and expiration of the coupons.
The thing which really upset me is advertisers pulling money from podcasts which have referral codes because of abuse from Honey. I’m not a fan of advertisements, but the referal codes were a simple solution since there’s no way to accurately measure if an ad was listened to. Honey causing advertisers to pull support for podcasts just pushes podcasts to closed ecosystems with more tracking and analytics, and takes money away from Podcasters.
mm/yy/dd is so cursed, thanks I hate it.
Unless we can prevent 100% of firearm deaths, we shouldn’t take any action /s
Needs to be more specific to narrow it down. “Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (Burton’s wife) make out in this movie”
I don’t think he does any podcasts anymore. He stepped away from Cortex about 6 months ago, and Hello Internet has been gone for years now. Agreed with maintaining upload quality and sacrificing frequency, which had been the status quo for years, but i’m afraid the channel is more abandoned now.
This is awesome. In the off chance i had downloaded a ROM from your site back then, thank you so much.
Well this is why i wish he would put out more videos, to see his reflection of this almost 10 years later knowing what we know now that self driving cars are here, and not stuff that was in highly controlled environments. To me, Grey always seemed like someone who trusts computers more than people, so maybe he’d still hold the same stance, but i would be interested in hearing his thoughts rather than dismissing him because of something he said 10 years ago which hasn’t come true. I also vaguely remember hearing in one of his podcasts that he had gotten into a really bad car accident and actually didn’t drive for many years after that, so I’d imagine some of his admiration with self driving cars at the time was focused on them reporting being safer than human drivers. Who knows, but I for sure would like to see a 2026 version of the end of that video about solving traffic from him.
I’m not sure of the specifics you’re referring to, but seemed with most of his content, he was pretty clear with the data that formed his opinions, and was pretty honest when he was either wrong or changed his mind on something, which I respect.
Not sure if this counts, but CGP Grey. The frequency of the videos was always a joke, but the most recent video is a 3 month old paywalled vid of an early preview for a video still unreleased publicly. I still enjoy the videos when they’re released, so it’s not the quality, but the channel is clearly on autopilot. I hope everything’s ok with him and maybe he’s just using YouTube as passive income now that he hit it big?
The one that got me was trying to make a grill scrubber made entirely in the US, failing to source all the parts domestically, being somewhat xenophobic in the process, and then having the audacity of selling the thing for $80 (or more) when the exact product exists already for half the price. At some point the whole point of the video changed from “rebuilding manufacturing in America” to “China bad”. I assume the attempt was in defense of the Trump tariffs, but the takeaway is the US is not in a position to manufacture things on a small scale, and throwing tariffs on it won’t change and people will just have to pay more to import items since they can’t be made locally.
From what I heard, they screen tested both versions of the movie, the directors version and the one edited by the trailer company, and both tested equally the same. Rather than defer to the director, they chose to take the scenes which tested the best in each version of the edit, and combine those together into the mess we saw.

For broadcast television, especially over the air, there’s no additional load on the provider side for broadcasting to 1 or 1 million people. The TV consumers never have to communicate back to the broadcaster, and this is very efficient from a bandwidth perspective. It’s somewhat similar for cable in most provider situations, the video is broadcast over a wire rather than over the air.
With streaming, each stream has to negotiate with a server to access the stream and the server serves the content to that consumer. This scales as there are more consumers, and the load on the provider increases. Caching layers and CDNs exist to distribute this load, and that is expensive. This is why streaming providers have a “Are you still watching” prompt if they think you’ve stopped watching, since it costs lots to serve the content.
