  • The image doesn’t quite work because youtube needs a MASSIVE solution that works, scales, doesn’t fuck up their infrastructure and on and on and on.

    Meanwhile on the user front, all your doing essentially is just skipping parts of a video, that will always be infinitely cheaper easier to do. Challenging for sure, but the solution can be small.

    Even something as stupid as delaying your video start by 1 min, pre buffering then skipping ads. It’s brute force and barbaric but the point is that Google can’t do shit against that.

    My ultimate vision is AI that preloads videos you want and detects ads / sponsor segments and just skips them / cuts them out on your device.



  • Immigration is such a fucked up issue almost everywhere. You’ve got the right blaming everything on brown people and the left claiming all immigrants are just peace loving pacifists looking for a better life.

    As with most issues the truth is in the middle and any immigration policy should absolutely demand that any immigrant coming into a country assimilate and fully support our values of equality for all.

    You cannot tell me you support equality for all when your religion makes your wife walk 5 steps behind you in a beekeeper suit at 30c weather while you get to strut around in shorts and flip-flops.












  • A big part of all of this is indoctrination of children. If you didn’t introduce religion to children while they are at a vulnerable state, religion would quickly be relegated to a fringe cult.

    The percentage of people that aren’t flooded with this garbage as children that turn to religion once they are adults is miniscule and could easily be ignored.

    The problem is that religion is so powerful and ingrained that they are able to sustain bombard children at a steady pace.




  • A tiny container of “explosive” liquid like that would barely do any damage in the trashcan. Worst case it would injure a few people.

    The same explosion at 30,000 in the plane would be catastrophic.

    I get TSA is a lot of bullshit, but there is no really good solution for this except some hyper rapid liquid tester.

    Which just isn’t worth it dump it out and refill it past the gate.
