I'm a "millennial", so I think I speak millennial pretty well. Twitch is a very niche product: THE go-to place for the gaming community, it's also trying to break into mainstream live-streaming but that's Instagram's territory.
Yeah but as more and more podcasters and talk show type youtubers start livestreaming on twitch to diversify income it'll get some more mainstream appeal.
I like to plug Google takeout[0] in these convos, which also lets you export data if you want to leave. Many people don't seem to know about it, but it is quite mature and has been around for many years.
EDIT: To expand on this a bit more, I do wish there was more industry standardization when it comes to data import/export. Is there any standardized format for chat history, for example?
>My YouTube channel also used to net closer to $1k/mo (about 100 coding tutorials) and as a result of frequent algorithm changes and algorithmic demonetization now nets shy of $100 per month.
Please correct me if I'm missing something here: It appears like that channel hasn't had a new upload in some time. That could explain the drop in revenue, I wouldn't expect a channel to maintain the same revenue indefinitely without new content. At some point videos get saturated.
Sure but who is using AMD chips in place of Intel server chips? If company A competes in the widget market against company B and they both built their server infrastructure on Intel then neither company gained an advantage due to a performance degradation in Intel hardware.
The overwhelming majority of the cloud runs on Intel. Saying AMD is slightly better off doesn't really help if my systems are built on Intel. This is the case for most people.
What hype are you referring to? Are you suggesting the people who bought AMD knew this was a problem for Intel?
While I agree with your opinion about removing headphone jacks, I think OP means that even phones with a headphone jack tend to have it break due to OP's heavy use of it.
So, I tried to see if I could read some of the articles marked "paywall" and I had no trouble. My methodology: Google Scholar search the article title, and click the direct "PDF" link on the right side.
EDIT: My point here is that the statement in the article "the world’s most important research is inaccessible from the majority of the world" isn't exactly true. This isn't supposed to be an endorsement of academic publishing practices: if anything the fact that these publishers are effectively trying to scam readers out of money is all the more evident.
The fact that we have to low-key pirate research papers is just silly, though. The academic publishing system is just goofy, and I hope one of the projects that are currently trying to establish something better ends up taking hold soon.
It isn't piracy, all the publishers (in my experience & field of study) allow for free third-party hosting. Still agree with your second sentence though.
> My point here is that the statement in the article "the world’s most important research is inaccessible from the majority of the world" isn't exactly true.
This statement is still true even with your trick. The vast majority of people don't know about this and also even if they did know about this it would be technically difficult for many of them who aren't tech savvy. This is a huge barrier that shouldn't be discounted.
I don't see what tech savvyness has to do with it, many people use Google search. In fact, Scholar isn't even necessary, doing a regular Google search has the direct PDF links at the top of the search results.
I took a look at all 65 papers listed as paywalls.
Of them, 5 are actually available directly from the publisher so they shouldn't be listed as paywalls, and all of the remainder are available from at least one of Google Scholar/Google/Libgen; of the 60 actually-paywall papers, 54 are available from GS/G and only 6 force you to go all the way to Libgen. (I am taking the liberty of rehosting 10 of them myself, though, to get them into GS.)
Of the 65, notes on the ones not immediately available in GS:
> Density-functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange
Citation-only in Google Scholar but easily found in Google or SH/LG.
> Detection of specific sequences among DNA fragments separated by gel-electrophoresis
Paywall-only in Google Scholar, not immediately available in Google but easily gotten from SH/LG.
> Processing of X-ray diffraction data collected in oscillation mode
GS paywall-only, not in Google, but SH/LG.
> Isolation of biologically active ribonucleic acid from sources enriched in ribonuclease
Likewise.
> the attractions of proteins for small molecules and ions
Likewise.
> Helical microtubules of graphitic carbon
GS links to paywall but findable in G.
> A technique for radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity
GS/G paywall but SH/LG.
> Phase annealing in SHELX-90: direct methods for larger structures

Not trying to encourage anyone one way or the other, but a good FYI to keep in mind.
I don't think Google is bad. But with my engineer hat on, I choose to diversify my risks. In particular, if Google chooses to disable my account, I don't want my email, my phone (and phone service), my ISP, my calendar, my documents and slides, my navigation, etc., all to instantly drop dead at the same time.
