It's step, not half-siblings. The man in question is only related through civil contracts between your parent and his parent and, keeping with the lore of the step video, those civil contracts were only created after both of you reached the legal age of consent. The taboo is merely in the legal ambiguity of the situation.

I think this is a difficult dilemma. My immediate instinct is that blocking illegal material is obviously an invasion of privacy. It is impossible to block one type of message without first reading all messages and classifying them.

But on the other hand, we're talking about other people's servers here. They shouldn't have to host illegal material. In fact, it is illegal for them to do so. So it is their right to know what they're hosting and clean it out.

Should we really have any expectation of privacy on big tech platforms? If you're sending obviously illegal material in plain bytes to a Microsoft server, what do you think is going to happen?

Is it biased to judge a video by its thumbnail, title and first few minutes? Especially if it's a video of an hour that's front loaded with fluff, I don't have any reason to assume the rest of the hour will be worth my time. The longer the video, the more important it is to show you're not just padding for length.

Finally got around to watching (half), and she does explain it and gets into some real interesting technical stuff, so I judged too soon.

I think she's doing herself a disservice by opening with the dramatic reenactment though, because I bounced off on that, also on an earlier video. There's not really a gradual buildup either, so someone who actually likes the drama will get a cold blast of RAM spec sheet right after and likely stop there. Better to let everyone know what they're getting into at the start, right?

The title is objectively clickbait though, even if she does eventually explain the design flaw. But I think if she's doing an hour on the history of RAM design, she could be honest about that.

This is probably a matter of taste, but I can't sit through 58 minutes of slow buildup just to get to "ram has to refresh, that takes 300 nanoseconds sometimes, you could eliminate that at the hardware level by making all ram twice as expensive"

Thanks Laurie, but you don't have to pretend all ram is fundamentally broken to make me watch an hour of maths and engineering. 3blue1brown does that all the time with titles like "What is a laplace transform?" and thumbnails of plain formulas on black backgrounds.

Can someone explain Laurie Wired to me? I see her in my recommendations sometimes, but I don't click obvious clickbait.

Take this one, is it actually a design flaw or is it just a compromise that was made for good reasons and is kept around for those same reasons?

Maybe I'll watch the video and report back, can always remove it from my watch history.

Edit: It's an hour? Not like I won't watch hour-long videos, but that's a lot to figure out if it was clickbait or not.

I know mine does it, but it could be a feature of the 4chanX extension? I haven't used 4chan without it in years. It's not direct quotes, but you click the number to see the post inline.

 

This fat bastard is haunting my dreams and the witch in the woods told me the only way to ever sleep soundly again is by taking her out of my dreams and into my arms. Where do I find this little shit? Any legit sites selling cute (knock-off) baguette-eating demons?

Have to add that we work exclusively in strongly-typed languages. Kinda want to see how it plays out, but I can't help but argue with him, so I think I'll just go.
