Google screwed up like a lot of companies do. YouTube was never profitable to run. They were just burning through cash to keep the lights on and become the number one video host online.

Internally there became a mandate to try and turn it into a profit making machine and the advertisers caught wind so they stepped in with their demands knowing that they were going to be the source of the profits. This is where the content restrictions started to happen as videos needed to become ad friendly.

I wish YouTube would have figured out another path to help provide the service and pay video creators. At least with Premium you don’t get ads and Sponsor Skip means you don’t see embedded VPN and game sponsors.

First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title. His new Weird Stuff in a Can episode was a fun journey.

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos “digging” into archaeology and pre-history.

A recent food discovery (Well within the last year) I made was Charlie Anderson highly recommend his series on creating NY style pizza.

Not dying.

How kind of it to think about your privacy. Such a nice google. /s

Us (humans) vs. Them (aliens)

”We are checking…”

Is he doing a practice session or just the test after the race?

I both do and do not want to check that out.

I did web design in the 90’s and remember one customer reviewing the site that I’d designed her. She said she liked it, but asked if I could add something like that neat little paper clip she has when she opens up Word, so it can help people navigate her site.

Note: Javascript was in its early days around this time so the idea of a dynamic/interactive site like this was not on the cards.

With Twitter locking themselves behind a log in wall, they’ve instantly become a shit way of sharing information.

Any further news on this or when he’ll be seeing the stewards?

This is like the discovery of the Rosetta stone.

I’m willing to bet that Perez isn’t going to end this season in second place. He’s going to need some turnaround to best Alonso’s form. If Aston keeps the updates coming then that car is going to improve more, and perhaps Merc the same.

Dunno about best, but I had a few instances where I posted a thread only for it to be deleted by a mod and then reposted by them. Gotta farma that karma. I maybe could have disputed it, but getting into a tussle over someones love for numbers that go up feels a bit pathetic.

The right call.

Not really without a lot of work. The good thing is that there’s already Apollo inspired apps available. Mlem, and Memmy support iOS and they’re getting better by the day. I’d recommend checking them out and contributing feedback. You should soon have your Apollo style experience.

Can confirm I was looking for the right community to talk about this instance and when I saw posts about noodles I presumed this was not it (I actually didn’t read the sidebar). Would be good to enforce moderation a bit more on this space. Not that I don’t love noodles.

You are missing the context as we didn’t know it was going to be a 4 hour race when it started. A lot of the event was dealing with the guess work and having the commentators look for things to fill in the time. It was honestly more of an event to be part of at the time. I think the parts you pointed out make for a good highlight session, but there’s no way of experiencing exactly why it’s such an historic race after the fact.

I’d say the same is true of Brazil 2008, it’s not a very exciting race to watch now, but live it was nail biting with a crazy ending. Still fun to watch the end, but we know Massa lost the championship going in so lacks the impact.
