It should also be binding that if you declare that your assets are worth a certain value, the government has the option to buy the asset at that value, to avoid people under representing their net worth for unrealized gains.

Just watch out, some phone providers will disconnect you after a few hours on a call. During the pandemic when there were a lot of people unemployed and there were long waits for unemployment insurance offices, there were stories of people waiting on hold for 6 hours or more, and then getting disconnected, losing their place in line.

They are often also recording/transcribing the conversation when they put you on hold as well, and summarizing the call for the agent based on the transcript. When my ISP raises internet prices, I always have to call them to get the increase reversed. When I’m waiting on hold, i pretend to talk to my partner saying what my desired price is and that i’ll call a competitor afterwards if they can’t match so that gets summarized for the agent.

If they have an ad read in the video, like a creator saying the video is sponsored by XYZ Corp, those could also be paid based on views of the video (in addition to the ad impressions by YouTube). Those ads are handled externally from YouTube’s ad platform, but they do rely on YouTube analytics and views being reported as legitimate.

Yeah, Honey is just exacerbating the inherent flaws in the system, and most of it can be dealt with having a limit of coupon usage and expiration of the coupons.

The thing which really upset me is advertisers pulling money from podcasts which have referral codes because of abuse from Honey. I’m not a fan of advertisements, but the referal codes were a simple solution since there’s no way to accurately measure if an ad was listened to. Honey causing advertisers to pull support for podcasts just pushes podcasts to closed ecosystems with more tracking and analytics, and takes money away from Podcasters.

Needs to be more specific to narrow it down. “Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter (Burton’s wife) make out in this movie”

I don’t think he does any podcasts anymore. He stepped away from Cortex about 6 months ago, and Hello Internet has been gone for years now. Agreed with maintaining upload quality and sacrificing frequency, which had been the status quo for years, but i’m afraid the channel is more abandoned now.

This is awesome. In the off chance i had downloaded a ROM from your site back then, thank you so much.

Not sure when the sale happened, but there was a recent video about the invention of the Blue LED from the past year which was really good, highly recommended. To me click bait implies the contents are not worth the headline / title / thumbnail, but old Veritasium and recent have kept up mostly the same level of quality IMO. I will say updating old video titles and thumbnails to juice the numbers was annoying, but the optimist in me figured that at least people who had not previously experienced old Veritasium got it recommended to them which is a positive.

Well this is why i wish he would put out more videos, to see his reflection of this almost 10 years later knowing what we know now that self driving cars are here, and not stuff that was in highly controlled environments. To me, Grey always seemed like someone who trusts computers more than people, so maybe he’d still hold the same stance, but i would be interested in hearing his thoughts rather than dismissing him because of something he said 10 years ago which hasn’t come true. I also vaguely remember hearing in one of his podcasts that he had gotten into a really bad car accident and actually didn’t drive for many years after that, so I’d imagine some of his admiration with self driving cars at the time was focused on them reporting being safer than human drivers. Who knows, but I for sure would like to see a 2026 version of the end of that video about solving traffic from him.

I’m not sure of the specifics you’re referring to, but seemed with most of his content, he was pretty clear with the data that formed his opinions, and was pretty honest when he was either wrong or changed his mind on something, which I respect.

Not sure if this counts, but CGP Grey. The frequency of the videos was always a joke, but the most recent video is a 3 month old paywalled vid of an early preview for a video still unreleased publicly. I still enjoy the videos when they’re released, so it’s not the quality, but the channel is clearly on autopilot. I hope everything’s ok with him and maybe he’s just using YouTube as passive income now that he hit it big?

The one that got me was trying to make a grill scrubber made entirely in the US, failing to source all the parts domestically, being somewhat xenophobic in the process, and then having the audacity of selling the thing for $80 (or more) when the exact product exists already for half the price. At some point the whole point of the video changed from “rebuilding manufacturing in America” to “China bad”. I assume the attempt was in defense of the Trump tariffs, but the takeaway is the US is not in a position to manufacture things on a small scale, and throwing tariffs on it won’t change and people will just have to pay more to import items since they can’t be made locally.

From what I heard, they screen tested both versions of the movie, the directors version and the one edited by the trailer company, and both tested equally the same. Rather than defer to the director, they chose to take the scenes which tested the best in each version of the edit, and combine those together into the mess we saw.

Y’all heard of WorldCom?

FWIW with virus total, you don’t even need to upload the file, just provide the hash to see if is known to virus total. The name may be auto generated which wouldn’t help much in searching, but the hash is based on the file contents.

Thank you for this post!!! I didn’t see the other ones and you were not on my blocklist yet.
