you are right. demonitized means unsuitable for advertisers, which means no ads.

To clarify - often videos will have ads on them prior to being demonetized. My understanding is that when this happens, YT keeps all of the ad revenue and the creator sees none. Over time this is a lot of money I am sure.

Maybe not on hard demonetized, but they will run ads on videos of creators that are not eligible for the partner program:

true, yet the same can be said of:

- any new pharmaceutical - diets (keto, carnivore, etc) - 5g

etc

point being: modifying behavior due to decade time-horizon unknowns is not really pragmatic.

It kind of is. If you see a country next to yours building up a massive army, and starting propaganda about your government being evil, that's a good reason to prepare. If we learned of alien life in the galaxy, we might want to prepare too.

And with diets and diseases, if something has a short-horizon effect, that's good evidence it might have a long time-horizon effect too.

The seriousness with which I respond to COVID19 is mostly due to short time-horizon effects giving strong implications of possible long time-horizon effects. I'm less concerned about the 3% CFR as I am about the larger portion of individuals who might have long-term disability, lower economic output, etc. If that passes, we'll be feeling that for many decades.

It does mean not being very careless about getting infected, and weighs against the idea of going for herd immunity without a vaccine.

Here's a Twitter thread listing post-infection syndromes from other vital infections: https://mobile.twitter.com/aetiology/status/1318676570467409...

...about anything. not just covid.

That's exactly what someone with your political beliefs would say!!

Case and point: employees at Spotify wanting to censor Joe Rogan.

Whether or not you agree, you can objectively see how this would jeopardize a presumably 10-figure deal for Spotify.

Rogan's deal is in the hundreds of millions (9 figures), not in the billions.

9 figure deal, 10 figure implications:

"Spotify shares dropped 8.8% Wednesday (Sep. 2) morning, shaving as much as $4.81 billion of its value, following a report Joe Rogan's back catalog debuted on the platform Tuesday without episodes by right-wing personalities"

in a perfect world it would. but it doesn't.

100%.

if properly trained, interviewers ask questions that build without throwing the kitchen sink at you.

whiteboard interviews (when done holistically) assess for signal, not binary correctness

- do you have a solid framework to build a solution?

- are you considering multiple approaches / data structures / complexities

- referencing similar problems, vocabulary, situations to illustrate breadth of knowledge

sure, the stress component isn't ideal, but there are multiple relevant capabilities being assessed in a very short amount of time...

in other words it's a much better test of tacit knowledge than alternatives

You can confirm the same using a take-home assignment and a code review together with the candidate. Or even with an on-site pair programming. Neither of those require whiteboards.

pair programming, for sure

if done right, whiteboarding should be almost the same as pair programming -- an iterative dialogue

the truth is probably more nuanced

objectively considering information is further than most people ever get. most people are just out here trying to win arguments

so let's assume you're open minded

you could weave components of this new info into what you already know, and discard the rest

but what do you keep?

does the most convincing empiricism trump everything? are personal values involved?

that's up to you

my $0.02: it DOES seem similar to bitcoin in that

- the technology is intrinsically interesting - there is a ton of hype - but it seems ultimately commercial viability of projects is questionable

Why do I say this?

Well, the "solution" here is instantaneous text generation.

even if it is 99% believable, that 1% error is probably a dealbreaker most use cases

example a: generating code

sure you can generate some simple react components, but snippets already do that.

for anything more complex / production ready, you still need to fine tune it manually

That said, I hope I'm wrong and some cool AND useful applications come out of this

In fact my initial reaction was pure hype but now I'm going the other way

Hey Jash, Curious: with your email list, do you send value-giving emails at regular intervals -- ergo a weekly digest

Or is it more just for paid offers whenever you have one? Or both?

I feel like content strategies are a double edged sword. Sure you could have YouTube, Twitter, email, and a blog but then what time do you have left to work on product?

Anyway thanks for the info
