I learned React almost a decade ago and never looked back. Multiple SaaS apps and dozens of personal projects later, I feel no need to reach for anything else.

Same here, every time I share something from YouTube --> NewPipe, the icon is in a different place, even when I'm adding multiple videos to my queue one after another. Every. Damn. Time. So frustrating.

Disagree with all but your last sentence. Taxes are a necessary evil to pay for things we require as a society (e.g. police, schools). They are a burden on citizens, particularly the poor.

As for the comment about kings and lords, I suppose you're not familiar with the story of Robinhood...

Just your everyday usual Washington corruption... Move along peasants, nothing to see here!

How can a society course-correct without confronting dissent? The sphere of "acceptable" discourse seems to shrink by the day.

Putting on my cynical hat, I could imagine powerful interests using this opportunity to consolidate their power and silence their opposition under the guide of "prevention mis/dis/malinformation" - it's a slippery slope which is easy to abuse if not careful in our approach. This is what I meant by "so much for democracy". I very much hope I'm wrong :)

For not censoring "enough"? Yikes, so much for democracy...

I have strong opinions on this subject but I don't think it's possible to have a healthy and productive conversation about it in a forum and medium such as this.

This is my hunch too. By heavily curating all content, a tiny portion will be served to a significant fraction of users, keeping costs lower by reducing the long tail as much as possible.

I've been following RedisGraph with great interest since I first heard about it. Fell in love with cypher but not a big fan of neo4j. Most recently I've been playing with EdgeDB (not cypher-based) which scratches my graphDB itch pretty well but it's still a little too early for me to consider adopting it in a serious project.

I'm glad there seems to be continued interest in graphDBs, I think there's a lot of potential in that space and I'm eagerly awaiting a clear winner to emerge.

Excellent, thanks again!! This may just be the inspiration I've needed to start playing around with hardware again. I've mostly got all the parts I need to get going, just need to find the time :)

Just a layman here but I know plants use color temp as a signaling mechanism (e.g. to help determine time of year - warmer color temp in spring/fall) so I'd expect some variation between species in how that signal is interpreted and used.

Thanks for giving me ideas for my own pile of ATtiny85's I have lying around:)

Very happy to hear this. Best of luck to the team!

My recommendations have become such an echo chamber that it actively pushes me away from using YT. It's frustrating scrolling through rows and rows of the same rehashed content from mostly the same network of creators. I wish I could turn the dial down on similar content and ratchet up interesting but unrelated content.

My pet theory is that they only implement features which are lightweight enough to not cause significant load on their backend and if it does then the feature dies right there, no matter how useful. Extreme cost-focused tunnel vision.

They also have a tiny hotbox which encourages misclicks (trying to click "Not Interested" but whoopsie, another view on that video!). Dark patterns galore.

I picked up both games recently and they're sucking up waaayy too much of my time :)

You're confusing government with citizens. The letter of the law changed but the culture lagged behind.

I'd also add that "rougelikes" heavily emphasize replayability (at least in my limited experience).

FTL and Slay the Spire are probably my top two favs in the genre.

I'm pro-crytpo but Tether is a scam imo.

I don't know, we could already be stuck in a positive feedback loop with no hope of reversing the trend until the pendulum swings back in another 10k years. That's the difficulty with climate science, there are so many variables and the system is so complex that analysis is extremely difficult.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not saying we can't do ANY analysis or that we can't see the larger trends... just that the devil is in the details and we can't predict exactly what's going to happen or when.

Not just the producers, but musicians often do this as well (the good ones anyway!)

The gaming niche is extremely cutthroat due to all the competition.

Even after a few millennia, I doubt it. The human experience is inseparable from the human body.

It says "classroom instruction", so wouldn't it also be okay if it was just the teacher and student in a one-on-one discussion? Since that wouldn't be instructing a class.

Broadcast anonymity is trivially achieved by using TOR.

It seems to me you're making a lot of assumptions and jumping to conclusions. How do you know these trolls are adults and not angsty teens? How do you know it's not a niche problem (I've only ever seen this cringe behavior in low-effort FPS like CoD)?

Not saying you're wrong but your experiences don't match my own. I'm open to having my mind changed but the idea of some conspiracy to influence kids by screaming naziisms at them at the end of video game matches just seems... hilariously ineffective.

How has Desantis restricted voting rights?

> It has been right wing dogma for quite a long time that education is bad

You're confusing being educated with being elitist. Being elitist is what the right thinks is bad, not education.

I've been watching Peter Boghossian's YT channel since I found it a few weeks ago, it has some great intellectually stimulating discussions around DEI and other hot-button topics that are extremely interesting, such as "Should the consideration of race be removed from the college admissions process?" [0].

He goes around to different colleges and asks the students on their beliefs in a reverse QA style, facilitating the conversation. The best discussions are when there are students who disagree and are on opposite ends of the spectrum on a topic.
