According to Susan Wojcickis statement YouTube/Google can't enforce policies because there would be "too much content to take down".

You don't need to have played or know anything about Maniac Mansion to enjoy Day of the Tentacle. I would not even recommend to play MM first, because MM is stupendously hard and frustrating compared to DotT. Play it after.

BTW: In the version of DotT I played in the 90s there was a funny easter egg: A computer in the game was running a playable version of Maniac Mansion. I don't know if this is part of the remastered version though.

It's not servers. It's who will have the best submarine cables. A game in which Apple is not participating btw. Not even with an Elon style moon, err, low earth orbit shot.

Also, please: "Operators, where are your MANRS?"

Sure. https://foreignpolicy.com/author/cheryl-rofer/

Have you read the blog post? I think it gives a much needed context to whats going on with Russia at the moment.

I don't think so. When you're in the middle and neither the source nor the destination of a route implements MANRS, there is not much to protect/verify. MANRS does protect you from becoming a leak, among other things. (I am not a total expert on routing, so please take this with a grain of salt)

Periodic reminder: "Operators, where are your MANRS?"

From the Youtube blog post:

"To be clear, using racial, homophobic, or sexist epithets on their own would not necessarily violate either of these policies. For example, as noted above, lewd or offensive language is often used in songs and comedic routines. It's when the primary purpose of the video is hate or harassment. And when videos violate these policies, we remove them."

I don't see how Google/Youtube can view Crowders videos as non-harassment, non-hate speech and still keep a straight face with their pride month campaign. You can't support homophobic creators and claim to be supportive to LGBTI issues at the same time.

Because they perfected the exploitation of Googles search algorithm? Have a look at the site. It is literally a clickbait content farm.

If your political view you want to promote is so extreme that no company wants to do business with you, although they legally could and you offer good money, then, yes, probably you have to build your own TelCo or Internet or whatever.

Also note: YouTube is already a heavily moderated platform, see pornography.

The [Political] got removed, not by me.

It's totally ok to not tolerate the extreme intolerant in some places [1]. Again, no laws change, it is just a company telling to very extreme people: Not here. Please go outside.

No censorship. You are still free to create your own YouTube clone and publish your extreme political views there. Maybe call it "GabTube"?

I added it, although the it's on the NYT website.

Great work! But it should say somewhere which version of HTTP it implements. I guess it is 1.1 and will likely stay so?

Hard to tell, since you can't use off-the-shelf sensors. They have to withstand the harsh environment in space, for a very long time, without any maintenance.

Playing random lottery and hoping not to draw the gene-defect ticket while only evolve on a scale of 1,000s of generations is better? We might not even have 1,000 generations left on this planet.

Yes. On the routing level. The attacker literally announces 'This IP address network is mine now' via BGP and gets the traffic. Most such incidents are not real attacks though, but misconfigurations. And there are the MANRS recommendations, which can prevent a lot of problems, including the one described in the article.
