How cool is that! And also the benefits of building technical equipment to last (along with some quality design and engineering) 😃

^That stuff has always terrified me.

Anyway, is this a good place to discuss the ethics of this or is it better suited for tge politics thread?

The comments section on that second article is as bad as youtube ones. That site seems to be aimed at the conspiracy minded as well.

Huh. I don’t read Internet comment sections for fear of mind turning into goo. I just saw that article linked to from somewhere else; I had no idea of its ‘target demographic,’ so to speak.

I know that Internet comment sections can be funny in a “so-good-it’s-bad” kind of way, but I know I’ll just end up angry reading them.

I don’t waste time watching most of the videos people recommend. I don’t need to see someone I’ve never heard of talk into a camera for 20 minutes about how they liked or didn’t like some movie or character or comic or whatever.

That doesn’t mean I dislike Youtube. I just dislike a bunch of the videos on it.

Also that first article was very familiar-looking, and then I saw the date was almost a month ago. Yep, almost positive you pointed it out back then too.

I haven’t linked to anything regarding to YouTube in the past month. I’ve linked to a couple of videos, but not this problem.

In depth retrospective analysis or it’s not true.

‘Indepth retrospective analysis’ is not a bad name for a band… (apart from the unfortunate acronym, of course…)

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/12/05/sports/olympics/ioc-russia-winter-olympics.html

Russia’s Olympic team has been barred from the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The country’s government officials are forbidden to attend, its flag will not be displayed at the opening ceremony and its anthem will not sound.

Any athletes from Russia who receive special dispensation to compete will do so as individuals wearing a neutral uniform, and the official record books will forever show that Russia won zero medals.

That was the punishment issued Tuesday to the proud sports juggernaut that has long used the Olympics as a show of global force but was exposed for systematic doping in previously unfathomable ways. The International Olympic Committee, after completing its own prolonged investigations that reiterated what had been known for more than a year, handed Russia penalties for doping so severe they were without precedent in Olympics history.

The ruling was the final confirmation that the nation was guilty of executing an extensive state-backed doping program. The scheme was rivaled perhaps only by the notorious program conducted by East Germany throughout the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.
