This leaves only Apple as a tech giant that has not announced layoffs yet. I wonder if they are going to follow this "trend".

I really dislike youtube shorts because it's literally unusable on desktop. And it always pushes political content (mostly right wing but also religious stuff) like "x destroys sjw" where someone giving a speach starts "roasting" someone from the audience for their supposedly ridiculous views.

There are also too many videos of people like Andrew Tate and short movie clips. The "funny" part: I still get to see them weeks later even though I disliked the videos.

It seems to me that many Youtube creators do not want to create shorts. However, the algorithm for shorts seems a bit flawed too:

* On Instagram for example I get to see videos in different languages (which does not happen really often on Youtube, even though I speak these languages and watch youtube videos in these languages)

* I get to see much more "crappy" content with like 10 likes

* Some videos I have seen on shorts were a quite disturbing, such a thing did not happen on reels

If they copy the Javascript too, you could a code that checks if the domain matches and if not show a blank page (or something like that)

I wonder if she did make any profits out of Theranos or was it all for nothing?

Baidu is not a competitor to Google. Even if there was an English version of it, with so much censorship it wouldn't be able to compete. Bing and (maybe) Brave Search are small competitors to Google.

I think one of the biggest issues with nuclear power is that they are designed to last decades yet they need to bee maintained properly operate safely over time, which can be a bit expensive and responsibility shifts over time so it gets "forgotten" easily and leaders can blame their predecessors if something bad happens.

Here is a research about the safety status of nuclear power plants in switzerland: https://correctiv.org/top-stories/2018/09/12/brandgefaehrlic... - sadly in german only

The same issue with roads and bridges in the US.

Holes in roads and bridges tend not to be as catastrophic as holes in reactors.

Nice try though.

If we can't even keep our bridges up, my confidence in maintaining nukes properly for decades is nil.

Then humans try to darken the sky, which results in robots using humans as a source of power. Sounds familiar.

Another one of my ideas stolen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thats because many companies directly type in their data on Google My Business to make their business easier to find. There is also a community doing this (same with facebook). Smaller competitors could do the same with a community or at least manually typing in the data at least for bigger companies.

I wonder how big thre effects were if somehow cloudflare or aws decided to stop serving to Russia (or another country).

Do you mean stopping internet traffic from Russia accessing websites hosted on Cloudflare/AWS or stopping Russian customers from hosting on Cloudflare/AWS services?

Russia blocked a lot of AWS back in 2018

I wouldn't say that. Maybe not the best design you might think of but much faster than e.g. indiehackers.

There's plenty of ways to improve on HN without affecting load times.
