Haha, they see themselves as ‘good cops,’ deciding what content is acceptable and what isn’t. It’s not even about copyright—it’s about what they think is good for users and what isn’t.

And in the process of playing ‘police’ they end up taking down one of the best videos explaining how Bitcoin works.


They probably should've consulted with a lawyer before making that statement. It sounds like a footgun that would help any prospective litigant build a case against you.


I’m sure that “corrupt cop looking away” is their core business model.


This is par for the course in crypto communities. There are multiple competing Bitcoin subreddits, mainly because each one decides which info to censor because they don't like a particular coin/fork/tech.


It took three people on Reddit to start a rumor that Anne Hathaway was a bad person. Probably due to they thought her as Catwoman was going to be like Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern. And they were still seething over Katie Holmes.


Shakespeare’s wife?


> It took three people on Reddit to start a rumor that Anne Hathaway was a bad person

Start a rumor amongst a couple hundred crypto bros that no one else pays attention to.


Phishing scam videos are not good for anyone, why would you want people impersonating your brand stealing your users funds?


I started a mini-SaaS focused on identifying what content/scripts are blocked on websites by AdBlockers, Firefox Tracking Protection, and similar tools.

I initially aimed for an cheap monthly pricing plan and many clients, but that strategy hasn't been successful so far.

However, in the process of finding clients, I found two 'enterprise' customers. I built a custom on-premise version for them and charging $300 per month for each, which technically sums to over $500. Not sure it is what I wanted )


Totally counts though!


Hi, I love your YouTube channel! I watched a bunch of videos from it last year! Thank you!


Thanks! That's my business partner who makes the videos


BTW "Factorio: Space Age" was release a few days ago. Personally, I'm going to spend whole Sunday playing it :)


I've started a new Space Age game, too!

With the understanding that you can regularly leave Factorio running overnight or even all week to build up resources, how many hours have other hard core Factorio players logged?

My Factorio play time is up to 6,573.2 hours at this point.

I love Factorio for the same reasons I love SimCity. 6,573.2 hours seems like a lot of time, but I've probably logged even more hours playing SimCity since 1989. (But much of that was actual productive time porting it to various platforms, testing, debugging, and optimizing the actual source code and user interface, etc.)

I habitually translate "X thousands of hours" into "full time employment years".

You've been playing Factorio as the equivalent of a full time job, for 3 years and 3 months.

[Edit: Many of those hours were probably background farming, so not a direct comparison.]


I read about a half hour every day. That means I probably clocked some 6 thousand hours in my lifetime. Imagine all the time I could’ve invested in playing the rat race more, in those wasted 3 years of books :(


I am absolutely not suggesting that "full-time employment years" are better allocated to work/job/employment.

Just modeling what we (US, 40hrs/wk and 50wks/yr) consider a "full-time" commitment to any task/activity.


Without Gorhill's uBlock Origin, the internet would be a really awful place. Thank you, Raymond!


Working on validating a startup idea I had 12 years ago. It's like Pingdom for ads, periodically checking if your ads are being blocked by AdBlockers.

I always thought the idea was somewhat weak, but not enough to discard entirely. So, along with a friend, I built a prototype over the last two weeks, and now we're trying to validate it: https://scanningfox.com/

I'm enjoying using Elixir for this project. As a long-time Erlang dev, I was initially skeptical about Elixir, but Phoenix.LiveView has changed my opinion.


Liveview is so much fun. I want to build more things with it.


Funny video, but it would be much better if uBlock worked on Safari )


I only got FFT after following the course `Introduction to Graduate Algorithms`( Georgia Tech) and implementing everything from the lectures in python. It is really good course:

https://edstem.org/us/courses/47529/lessons/80063/slides/440...


Your link just asks me for a login, which of course I don’t have. I’ve not heard of Ed before. I am interested but the “see how it works” section doesn’t really tell you how it works. As is the trend, it seems you have to sign up first. Shame.


The Ed link is referenced from GT's official class page: https://omscs.gatech.edu/cs-6515-intro-graduate-algorithms


Is there an 'undergraduate' version of the course?


You could try `https://github.com/jianfch/stable-ts`, it's an improvement for OpenAI Whisper. It does pretty good job.
