Yes, that XKCD that got it absolutely wrong, wonderful. Yes, it doesn't mean anyone else has to listen to Ralph's podcast and yes, it doesnt shield you from criticisms, but if you wiped out from a platform where 1.2+ billion people meet, then it is a violation of free speech, as it literally means you can not reach other people - where everybody else meets. At this point Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter are town squares owned by private businesses. If you are not allowed in, because of the ideas you hold, it's the violation of the 1A. Also, if anyone else doesn't have to listen to Ralph's stream, why the mainstream media care? Why would anyone care about a few dozen small youtubers? Ha?

Free speech is a speech you dont want to hear. The concept of free speech is there to protect those who disagree with you.

No. That's dead. You see, with the rise of Internet and Youtube, mainstream media are just obsolete. I can follow twitter trending tweets and get information hours before any one the MSM get to that story, so what are doing MSM? They are fighting the market, the people, they are stifling small youtube channels, who have dissenting views, they are stirring up drama for clicks and views *ON THEIR WEBPAGES*, because that generates revenue... It's like cars replacing horses, and telegraph replacing pigeons, now internet replaces TV and newspapers, and as Darwin said, it's not the strongest or wisest who survive, but those who adapt.

It's the moral busybodies at places like the WSJ who go around the internet and watch for language. Just because they have a blue checkmark on Twitter and official email at the institution they work in gives them the power to insinuate the actions that should be made in the name of PC culture, restricting freedom of speech, freedom of association and it's allowed because by the fact that Youtube is de iure a private platform and they are allowed to do whatever they want on their platform.

I have no idea how money flows in this case. In my opinion money were supposed to go directly from Youtube to the hospital.

Yesterday Youtube refunded 26k $ from charity superchats for children cancer research hospital of St. Jude, because of nature of the Youtube channel that livestream went on. The owner and host Ethan Ralph (@TheRalphRetort) who fancies the idea of absolute free speech is hosting streams named "KIllstream" that are giving platform for anyone to talk about anything, that many people may find upsetting. A month ago Ralph was hosting a special event named "Healstream" to donate money to the children's research hospital of St. Jude in which they raised 26k $. Also as an addition, Ralph got his both youtube channels terminated on the spot by Youtube. Within 24 hours Youtube started refunding people, on 2nd of November, a new article made by The Wall Street Journal, describing the "Hate Speech on Live ‘Super Chats’ Tests YouTube" made by Yoree Koh (@yoreekoh) references the very same stream, what Ralph and many others from his fans see as a hit piece, the same way as they did with "PewDiePie is a nazi". On Twitter it's referred to the affair via hash tag #WSJKillsKids where they post memes about WSJ. The hospital haven't made a public statement as of yet, whether they decided to refuse money, or the refunding started on the discretion of YouTube. Thanks to Twitter user Nick Monroe, who get information at one place. https://twitter.com/nickmon1112 https://www.wsj.com/articles/hate-speech-on-live-super-chats-tests-youtube-1541205849?mod=e2tw

Nope, give it a try. Just pondering on the side of youtube rolling out a half-baked feature, I would say. It's the same thing with the "Community" tab on the Youtube profile's page. (No one really know about that, right?)

eh, well, first of, Youtube notification system could do a better job, and notify people a good time in advance, if you want to launch a "premiere" with the peak audience, because at this time Youtube rolls out notifications at the exact time you hit "stream" on youtube's page so the peak of audience comes like 2-5 minutes after the stream started. Secondly, I have no idea how you want to interact with 30+ k people at the same time. Superchats? Yeah, that works but only with livestreams, not really with "premiere", but I don't see too much of a benefit for superchats in this regard other than sharing jokes with other 30+ k that are contextual to the current events in the video!

No it's not until 1 $ > 1 euro. And that's the point.

Well, first off, I think the most of it was Apple that came up with the idea of 1 $ = 1 euro, which works well for Apple and other companies just copy it. I never saw this policy before Apple. So way back when iPhone was 499$ and EUR/USD was 1.4 it shoud've cost a European about 40% less, but it never did. Apple set prices for Europe the same way and they made billions out of it. Other companies followed. Fucking wonderful, IMO.

What was the point of streaming today's prerecorded video? I can get behind livestreaming unboxings, but livestreaming videos? Why?

In my short time that I'm alive I had only 3 phones: Nokia with buttons and small screen and Snake, Samsung Galaxy Ace - shit, and iPhone SE, so I am not that experienced with variety of phones, so take it for what you want. RANT: The reason I am with iPhone is simple: Android (in those days 2.3.3. and non-upgradable by vendor!) on low-end phones was utter shit. The frustration grew into hatred of Android. The worst operating system ever made, by people who clearly thought of using Java on poorly-performing ARM is going to be a great idea. Apps crashed or didn't launch by simply having not enough RAM. I had a gadget running on Android, that would perform Garbage-Collection and it would kill services that were running in the background. The mere frustration from the very first Android experience just ruined everything. END OF RANT iPhone is Nokia of these days (kinda). It works. It's reliable. Not unbreakable, or invincible like Nokia was, but reliable. It's not a spectacular product either, like Note series from Samsung, but I know that it won't blow up in my pocket. It just works. I know that it will work tomorrow and the day after that. I dont have the same feeling with Android Phone with 64 GB of RAM and 2 hexacore ARM processors. Do I think paying 1000$ for iPhone is justifiable ? No. Do I think that I need the best iPhone every year? No. So why I am using Apple iPhone: - iPhone Apps are working. If they don't work, they won't appear on App Store. - I don't want to tinker with my phone whatsoever. My job is working on my software and my product, not on my phone, to get a feature/app working! - Seamless integration with iTunes/macOS.

IntelliJ package. Best toolkit out there. I hate Electron apps like Atom and VS Code with passion.

@wasab well, it looks like it is a recursive graph traversing. It looks like DFS, which is O(n+m) as a part of the backtracking mechanism for solving the HP problem with DP.

I am totally against the whole "single PC for multiple users" schema as it introduces single point of failure into the world - the PC goes down, and both of you are screwed, for God knows how long - and who's gonna fix it for you? I think it's okay to have one media centre for music, or videos but not for work. But, that's just my opinion. Firstly, I think, requiring 2500$ for a Photoshop work is a bit unnecessary, but my guess is that your wife is rocking Macbook Pro 15", isn't she? You could shave off 800-1000$ of that, if it wasn't a Macbook. So that's the very first corner I would cut off, if you want to drop down the price. When it comes to be "a bit cheaper" than having two PCs: You could shave off the server hardware, buy last-gen CPUs of the e-bay, for example the amount of ECC memory, SSD drives and buy that later on. You could buy one 12 core brand new Intel Xeon for 1200$ or buy two hexa-core Xeons from ebay for 100$, last or second to last gen. But, you could do that with the normal PC parts too. That's where you could shave off the most of the costs. Also, I presume, you are not that keen Linux user who would like to spend days on QEMU and IOMMU configurations, so when you decide to go with the route of "one server" option, I would suggest you to look at the VMware ESXi/vSphere hypervisors, that costs about 1000$ per license. Or if you are a linux geek and you adore linux command line, Look up KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine).

Trebuchet from the Rooftop.

The code seems ok. Submit your answer.

Well, no, it's a claim, you can not know yet, as it is a matter of a lawsuit, we will know the truth and find the evidence. I guess he has some (internal Apple) files prepared to share with the court in the future, but at this point of time, no.

Yes, ask for evidence, that is mostly the internal (confidential) documents and the IP of the corporation. No reasonable person will give you the evidence publicly as he will be charged for IP theft and I guess NDA break. I think lawyers from Apple has already thought about it. What evidence from the corporation like Apple can you show to the world without risking repercussions?

Oh, so you allow in your universe the QA ex-engineer could lie about the bendgate issue to all of his colleagues and his seniors about the quality of the aluminium and potentially face lawsuit by his own employer, especially by a corporation like Apple, for what reason? Your reasoning doesn't make sense to me. Internal documents shows Apple knew about it, and they did nothing. If Apple engineer said that it was him, talking to his bosses and telling them that "over 3x worse bending is okay" and they disagreed would be a career suicide. Who is telling the truth? Mostly the guy who has no reason to lie?

Well, the most of the evidence around BendGate is out there, as it was a matter of the lawsuit, isn't it? However, if an engineer tells you that they were lacking the QA or they were doing something that was making the product to be faulty by design and seniors rejected any complaints then any admission is good enough right? Do you think that no one opposed the "dongle madness" in Cupertino?

No, you can still get the story of how come that Apple iPhone 6 got released even if it was known that it could be easily bent. You can get the information of how the QA and testing processes are and how they changed over the years. You still can get the objective answers.

And that's why I would love to hear more from ex-Apple engineers, especially QA and hardware engineers ...

I remember the days when everyone had those thick, cheap plastic notebooks that other brands made and Apple was the only one who had this fine aluminium finish, the touchpad was light years ahead and it really was a pro product for a pro price. Magsafe connector was like from another universe. The product itself stood out and everyone was really amazed by it in the room. Today the only amazement the Apple can bring is, is the price. Others have caught up and that's the only differing point they can offer.

I agree on that. But what's going on since he departed is just astonishing. I would love to hear more from ex-Apple engineers.
