The only thing missing in the youtube video of youtube ceo receiving youtube award are ads. Every few minutes it should be interrupted with unskippable ad of Coca Cola, Mercedes, Lays, and Iqos.

You mean the leadership that put Google cofounder Sergey Brin's sister-in-law in charge of Youtube?
And not only sister in law. Executive leader of that highly successful project, Google Video, which ended with Wojcicki being so beaten that she had to tell Google management to buy her only competitor for over a billion dollars.
I recall Google Video being the better platform when it was first released. Had a clear interface, integrated with google search, and better performance. I have no idea how Google failed to gain the lead.

#214Just remembered how Youtube forced Blender community to left 'cause they don't wanna ads on their videos: https://www.blendernation.com/2018/06/19/blender-foundation-...
'Freedom Expression' isn't so cool without money, right, Google?

#215Let this be a lesson to all: intelligence does not in any way correlate with self awareness. It's likely that 'smart' people are just as likely to be unaware of their own follies or inabilities, I would argue, maybe more so as a lot of smart people tend to be 'inwardly focused' and less concerned about their direct environment. This kind of thing happens all the time among Exec. level, but normally we'd expect it fro…
If you were willing to speak truth to power like that, you would not be in her team in the first place.

(1) YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki Gets 'Freedom Expression' Award (2) Sponsored by YouTube
More people will hear about the first part of that sentence so I guess it's still somewhat advantageous to them?

Nowdays, if somebody wins an award, they are the exact opposite. We live is opposite world now.
I have something that I call 'Potato-Law' for this. It's like how the potatoes in discounters always say 'premium quality' or 'premium potatoes' but if they are, they wouldn't be so cheap or you couldn't buy them at the discounter. OTOH, if you go to a specialty goods shop, they don't write premium on their products. So if something has to be labeled on how good it is, it's probably not.
Right in the crotch. I recently put small bag of potatoes in the shopping cart and only back home and from the price on the receipt I learned they are "premium potatoes". So pissed off.

#218I think people here are fundamentally misunderstanding what happened here. There is a nonprofit, the "Freedom Forum Institute" that awarded this award. Only the award ceremony was sponsored by YouTube. It's common practice for nonprofits to use awards like this as an opportunity to ask for donations, and for the company associated with that person to offer to sponsor the awards ceremony. I don't see anything to indic…
An award that the recipient pays for isn't a meritorious award.
Even more when the charitable foundation pays their CEO lavishly [0]. Pay to play seems to be quite in line of this institute's DNA.

I don't know if I would necessarily use this particular word as it's mostly associated with lifeless objects, but in a sense - yes. Similarly to how having a disability or being an amputee is, for the lack of a better term, being "broken", as your body fails to function is some manner. Life is more nuanced and it's not all about that of course, but you get the idea.
> Of course you can. 100% of non-broken computers can be used for computing -- the "non-broken" part is usually implied when talking about them.
So a broken computer is no longer a computer? I'm too stupid to delve into a philosophical debate about what truly makes a thing a thing, but I just don't accept that.
Even still, there is always a chance that the computer will randomly malfunction and do something unexpected at any time. Unlikely, but possible. So you can never say for sure that an operation of 2 + 2 will result in 4.
> If the members of a category don't have any shared traits -- i.e. something that is true for all of them -- then what is it even useful for?
If it's accurate enough then it's useful for making predictions. You know, science and stuff.
I wonder, how would you describe what a 'human' is?

I'm not sure how to respond other that it's interesting how people switched from accusing everyone of being ignorant to demanding from them to be ignorant. Or was it always some kind of doublespeak? Not sure.
Respect for other's privacy has never been considered ignorance, even if it may match a dictionary definition.
I'm a fairly open minded person and I can change my mind if something makes sense to me. I assumed that maybe here I will find someone who can explain this thing to me, but so far I'm not impressed. The mean of perpetuating our species seems to be a too important detail to accept "it's none of your business" as an answer. I also think that if it's taught to children then it is a public matter.
