ACID is really just an arbitrary set of requirements for databases that made sense way back in the day when things were much simpler. ACID starts to hold you back when you want to scale out, because to have consistency you have to wait for your transaction to percolate through all the nodes of your system, and it doesn’t allow for things like a replicating node to be temporarily offline or lagging behind. Turns out though that not everything needs to be strictly ACID. For example, there are many cases where it doesn’t matter that a reader node has stale data for a second or two.

The thing MongoDB does is that instead of being dogmatically ACID all the time it allows you to decide exactly how ACID your transactions and your reads need to be, through the writeConcern and readConcern parameters. If you want it to be completely ACID, you can, but it comes at a cost.

Traditionally, ACID is where relational databases shine.

Relational databases shine with ACID on single-node systems when they’re not trying to solve the scale-out problem that MongoDB is trying to solve, but when they are trying to do that, they actually do much worse.

For example: most RDBMS systems have some kind of replication system, where you can replicate your transactions to one or more backup nodes either for failover or to use as a read-only node.

Now if you consider that whole system, replicas included, as “the database”, none of them are ACID, and I don’t know of any RDMBS-es that has mechanisms to automatically recover from a crashed primary without data loss, or that can handle the “split brain” problem.

thinking of purging it all and starting over.

Don’t do that. You’ll learn nothing.

Anything that provides pleasure and triggers the reward center of the brain can be addictive. There’s no need to single out porn in that discussion.

I just wanted to bring to attention that no government should be put on a pedestal. From the outside it’s easy to say “oh they’re so enlightened in <insert country here>”, when they often do braindead stuff too.

Also Denmark: let’s break encryption and let the government read all your private messages

willing to say that a $4T market cap company is full of shit.

I’m willing to say that too, but you have to admit that it’s a lot easier to say such things on a Youtube video that gets you 900k views in a day.

Also: careful to censor those middle fingers so you don’t get … gasp… demonetized

Um, the video in question here?

The channel is not in danger of being deleted, not even close. They received a single copyright strike, which in principle already got reversed by youtube (though still pending a 10 day waiting period for the claimant to reply and file legal action). It takes 3 valid copyright strikes within a 90 day period for a channel to be deleted.

They’re not angry because their channel is in danger of being deleted, they’re angry because they got hit in the moneys, losing ad revenue on a video that probably cost quite a bit of money to produce. Because of how the algorithm works, they’ll probably not recoup the lost views on that particular video, even when it’s reinstated.

It’s also not like abusive and frivolous copyright strikes are a new thing. They’ve been a byproduct of the safe harbor provisions (aka OCILLA ) in the DMCA for almost 3 decades now (DMCA was introduced in 1998), and the chilling effects on online speech and liberties have been well documented and covered to death by various publications over the years, but somehow GamersNexus only discovers it and starts to care when their bottom line is affected by it. I get that it’s not cool, but I don’t get why people should care about this particular instance of DMCA abuse, especially as it seems to be going as well for GamersNexus as a copyright strike can possibly go, given that Youtube already ruled in their favor.

To me it comes across as a hastily put together video to spring on their audience to whip up outrage and compensate for lost ad revenue. It’s a tried and true tactic, if you don’t have news, make the news. It seems to be working too: after one day this video already has more views than anything else they put out in the last 6 months, so it will probably make them more money than the taken down video would ever make. Good for them, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t see it for the sensationalist click bait non-story that it is.

Play in someone else’s walled garden, and they may kick you out and not let you back in. It’s not as if people haven’t been warning against this since the beginning of youtube.

It’s not clickbait. The 3 strikes is general, so even if Bloomberg comes back and says it was an accident or unsubstantiated, gn still takes the hit and is that much closer to being deleted

That’s not true. It has to be 3 strikes with merit, so rejected or reverted ones don’t count, and they expire after 90 days too.

You can easily get three strikes in a few moments with frivolous takedown

So what you’re basically saying is that any YouTube channel since the dawn of the DMCA has been permanently in the status of “Our Channel Could Be Deleted”. That’s… not exactly news is it? What makes the GamersNexus case special?

Why is this being downvoted?

You angered the tech jesus fanbois

It’s explained very clearly in the video, that it takes 10 days from filing the complaint. If Bloomberg persist on the issue, the take down stands.

I addressed this. Bloomberg must press actual legal charges for the takedown to stand, and provide proof to Youtube. This is mentioned very around 7:32 in the video. Here’s a screenshot:

YouTube is basically saying to Bloomberg: yeah, we are ruling that this is not infringement, but if you still disagree and really want to press the issue… put your money where your mouth is and provide proof that you filed actual legal charges. They’re only doing what is legally required of them by the DMCA.

And, as you conveniently keep ignoring, even if alllll this ends up with Bloomberg suing GamersNexus in a court of law and winning (a highly unlikely outcome) and the video being permanently delisted… that is still only 1 copyright strike, and not enough for “The Channel To Be Deleted!!!”. It basically takes 3 strikes within the same 90 days for a channel to be subject to deletion. Ergo: it is fucking click bait. Their channel is not and never was in danger of being deleted.

Just because it’s being normalized by the Linuses and Tech Jesuses on youtube doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call it what it is.

This video is click bait and the content is rather mid. We’re clearly supposed to feel some kind of outrage over a freedom of press kinda thing, but in reality the video is more like: waaah our ad revenue took a hit on this one video because of Big Evil Company abusing the copyright claim system, NOT FAIR! (Ignoring that this has been happening hundreds if not thousands of times per day for over a decade to much smaller channels than GamersNexus, without a peep from Tech Jesus on the issue).

How the fuck are you so dense?

Read my whole comment. It is demonstrably NOT true.

But very clearly it isn’t here

How the hell isn’t it?

Title: “Our Channel Could Be Deleted” <insert dramatic thumbnail featuring the word “SILENCED” in big capital letters>

Yet even in the video itself they explain that :

1. Youtube sided with them, the copyright strike got reverted and the video wil be restored. The only recourse Bloomberg has is to press actual charges in a court of law.
2. It takes three copyright strikes to delete a channel, not one.

And I will add my own 3: YouTube will never just outright delete a cashcow channel like GamersNexus.

I get that they’re pissed because the claim was bogus and it cost them good ad revenue on that video, and they will probably not recoup the cost of making it, but the channel is not and never was in danger of being deleted. So the title is clickbait intended to generate outrage for some, let’s be honest, rather mid content.

the amount of downvotes

LOL “I’m right because I got more upvotes”.

Removed by mod

How is his channel going to be deleted?

It’s clickbait.

Sane take.

I’m also very much a “car guy”, but I fucking love that since covid and work-from-home I don’t have to do day-to-day driving anymore. I do less than 20% of the mileage that I used to do.

So yeah don’t get mad at car owners, get mad at return-to-office mandates and such.

Maybe there are simply enough places, and people can park in front of their own houses, so there’s no need to park in front of your house?

So why does that need a whole new clock app? That would just be an update to tzdata on a Linux system.
