THREAD. AdTube, I mean YouTube, has gone full Lysenko. They are taking down videos and issuing Community Guidelines strikes against anyone who "explicitly disputes the efficacy of local health authority or WHO guidance." 1/n

 2/n
YouTube has gone further than simply removing videos, however. By issuing strikes, it is deliberately creating a chilling effect on people who might be able to otherwise warn against legitimate danger.

If there is any way to determine if an idea is valid, it *must* tolerate dissent. Dissent is the lifeblood of good ideas. YouTube (and Twitter) are now blessing all content. If your content is not blessed, you will be punished. If you defy our blessing, you will be punished.
4/n
Whether you agree or disagree with an idea is for YOU to decide. YouTube's explicit "concern" that you may be persuaded by an idea is a direct insult to YOUR intelligence and powers of reason.
5/n
Even worse, YouTube is stating, explicitly, that it is now a propaganda arm of the World Health Organization.

Exaggeration? Not in the slightest. Here's that screenshot once more.
6/n
People are getting extremely lopsided views, and are assuming that because they can't find evidence that none exists - unaware that YouTube (among others) has been systematically removing anything that contradicts that view - there is none to be found.
7/n
There is a name for this. It's called Lysenkoism.

KingCrocoduck has a fantastic short video on Lysenkoism from 2016. (I'm actually a bit amazed that it is still allowed to be published; he is suspended from Twitter).

It's not just YouTube. Medical journals have been removing peer-reviewed studies that have stood unmolested for the past 20 years. News articles from the Swine Flu, Bird Flu, and other epidemics have also disappeared.
10/
"Show me the science," as incorrect a demand as one can get, is still a valid query from someone who genuinely wants to understand the arguments from both sides. That can only happen if "science" is actually followed - all ideas are left on the table for observation/review.
11/
The sad thing is that I think people actually believe they are "helping science" by trying to silence these voices. They believe, unfortunately, that science is "settled" and all the studies have to do is simply "prove" that it's settled. Anything else is heresy.
12/
That, of course, is backwards. "Science" is not about "proving what you know." It's about trying to reduce what you don't know by just a little bit.
13/
Science NEEDS contrarian points of view. Because if you have entities like YouTube and Twitter censoring that content, you get situations like this:

And government officials who know you can't or won't do anything when they will put you in jail for doing the things that they do anyway, like this:

And this:

https://t.co/lyn922ziDi
16/
Oh screw it, here's 10 more assholes who want to lock YOU down based upon the "Science" that is "undisputed." Rules that they don't actually believe in, themselves. Because, you know, "Science" is what the government tells you it is.

https://t.co/GaOgQPdRiu
17/
Now you know - from AdTube's own words, no less - that they are going to tear down any video or content creator who defies the "local health authority or World Health Organization," so they these authorities have carte blanche to tell you ANYTHING they want.

And they are.
18/
If you want to be "true to science," then, you have to be willing to accept dissent. Not being able to find content on sites that explicitly tell you that they won't allow it, does NOT mean that it doesn't exist.

Otherwise, you don't follow science. You follow demagogues.
19/
Sadly, other places that offer these dissenting voices have been labeled heretics and 'dangerous.' Gab, Minds, BitChute, Parler, and others, are the refuge of "conspiracy theorists."

Heretics. Losers. Crazies. Tinfoil hats.
20/
Absolute fanatics and lunatics. Like Gallileo. Copernicus. Einstein. Darwin. People who had to self-publish or, worse, had to publish close to death, because of the threat of ex-communication.

All being told to shut up by governments and publishers of gov't propaganda.
21/
Don't worry. I'm not saying that every YouTuber falls into that category. But the scientist who DOES fall into that category is being censored. The klaxon of warning of government overreach will not be heard because there will be no one to call it.
22/
I have not yet seen the censored video that got me on this rant, but because YouTube does not WANT me to see it, because they're afraid of how I might think, or what I might do - so much they have to prevent me from seeing it - means that you bet I will see it.
23/
I find it insulting and infuriating that some junior editor at AdTube not only thinks that I am too stupid, too mindless, too ignorant to 'correctly' evaluate an idea that s/he has to threaten the content creator to stop making such videos.

time to get back to "repairing" old computers


The funny thing about making the 8-bit-guy into a meme about "repairing" computers with powertools is that the obvious heightening joke would, like, the "8 rounds guy", who fixes computers with firearms

but that would also be him, given that he's also a big gun enthusiast.

so it's inherently hard to satirize the repairing-computers-with-dremels guy, since they're also the guns-guy.

you'd have to go up to like a mythbusters level of overkill.

@curaffairs The author doesn't know enough about search to have written that article and the reason he's having those problems is AI algos like Rank Brain and Google's attempts to use natural language processing nothing to do with SEOs.

1/x

YMYL is not evaluated at the site level, but the query level.

Again this is on Google, not SEOs because they want to surface better sites.

And those devaluations are part of Core Updates which SEOs like me recover sites from.

2/

Featured Snippets are not optimized for - you can use certain HTML to be pulled in one but there is no definite use case where Featured Snippets are shown or that your site's will show for it. Also doesn't always come from the #1 result.

& that's Google not the SEO.

3/

Also there are many times when an SEO doesn't want their site in the Featured Snippet cuz it doesn't result in a click to the website. But we have no control over what Google pulls as Feature Snippets except to put in a meta tag to exclude us from them

4/

And Neil Patel is not an SEO. Most senior level SEOs see him as nothing more than a scammer because reportedly he's ripped them off by stealing their content and articles and passing them off as his.

Whatsapp will start forcing users to share personal data with Facebook which is it's parent company. It doesn't come as a surprise since all the major giants of Silicon valley; Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft etc are deeply integrated with US intelligence agencies.

THREAD

In 2013, Edward Snowden, an employee of National Security Agency, revealed that the US govt was running a vast Internet surveillance program and tapping every major Silicon Valley platform and company— Facebook, Google, Apple, Amazon including mobile games like Angry Birds.

[1]

The most astonishing program revealed by Snowden’s disclosures is called PRISM, which involves a sophisticated on-demand data tap housed within the datacenters of the biggest and most respected names in Silicon Valley: Google, Apple, Facebook, Yahoo!, and Microsoft.

[2]

These devices allow the National Security Agency (NSA) to extract whatever the agency requires, including emails, attachments, chats, address books, files, photographs, audio files, search activity, and mobile phone location history.

Edward Snowden also revealed the Mass Metadata Surveillance System of America's National Security Agency (NSA) in his documents. Let's suppose if NSA had found someone dialing number of an al Qaeda member, and assume that this person had phoned 100 other people over the...

Linux code injection paint-by-numbers.

Can we launch a process that looks one way to (superficial) auditors but is, in fact, entirely different? (Think process hollowing and the like on Windows).

Firstly, how are processes created and what does related auditing look like?

The most common pattern is fork() → execve(). Where the fork() syscall create a duplicate of the running process context and execve() overlays a copy of the target program onto that context.

After calling fork(), we’ll have two processes, the original one and a new - duplicated - one (with a new pid).

Control will return from fork() to both process instances. In the child process, the return value will simply by 0, in the parent it will hold the pid of the child.

Thus we can determine whether we are running in the child context and call execv() accordingly, while allowing the parent to continue.


Now, let’s take a look at where the auditing hooks lie. From calling execve(), we’ll eventually land up in exec_binrpm().

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed

🕵️‍♂️ How Google's PageRank algorithm works

The PageRank algorithm gives each page a rating of its
importance, which is a recursively defined measure of importance, based on if important pages link to it.
It's recursive because the importance of a page refers back to the importance of other pages that link to it

Here's how it works in practice:
1⃣ We start with some pages and crawl them for links


2⃣ Each page has 1/N points (where N as the total number of pages)


3⃣ Add points to each page for the amount of links to it, divided by the number
of links emanating from the sources of these links
