I think it is worth mentioning that patreon also surfaced as a means to provide income for creators. Whether this was a direct result of ad blockers may be debatable. However, patreon certainly provides creators with an avenue to generate income that is not dependent on ads services.
Then there are also creator focused platforms like nebula and curiosity stream, which aim to provide creators with a fair share of generated revenue.
All in all, my take on the developments over the past ten years or so is that ad revenue sharing (with creators) provided an important impulse to establish the field of online content creation, and that shortcomings of this model are now being addressed. Mainly to funnel more money to the content creators rather than platform owners.
Not necessarily. For instance, YouTube uses the old ad model and is of course not creator owned.
Additionally, you can use patreon while also using (and capitalising on) your own content distribution systems.
This is all to say, I do think the ad model may stay somewhat relevant, however, I also think that other income avenues are helpful and enable content creators more flexibility in terms of the manner in which they think they can best reach their audiences while generating income
I like this kind of video. I think he could’ve kept it even more basic though.
Imo, the isopropyl alcohol is unnecessary. Just clean your surfaces and keep them dry afterward. Any potential pathogen needs water to multiply. Take that away and their numbers will be limited to a safe level.
Disinfection is superfluous if you adhere to clean+dry, and it is useless if you clean but leave surfaces wet
I love the forced ‘S’ shape they keep throwing about.

A year ago I bought my wife a Mazda CX-5 diesel and paid 10K for it. Now I found out that it has an engine defect that will be extremely expensive to repair, so the car is a write-off, at best I can get 2K back.
The story sounds healthy enough. I’m mostly critical of the role of the actual parents. I may be over reaching here, but it sounds like the writer ended up taking up a responsibility that should have been taken by the parents in the first place. However, the situation sounds healthy enough and parentification has positive sides too!

Great achievement. Not much on the tech though. According to the ucam press release, they used an AAV1 viral delivery system. Given that the therapy is permanent, I would expect integration of the therapeutic gene into the patient’s genome (in the targeted tissue). Anyone have more on this?
No
The gene therapy is applied locally. They operate on the ear to enable access to the relevant tissue and then apply the therapy. So it should only affect cells in the ear.
Additionally, it is unclear to me whether the therapeutic gene is integrated into the genome. It might not be.
For transmission to offspring, you would need to edit germ line cells (sex cells) and you would need to integrate the gene into the genome.

Intel: support for linux
Other than that it is too early to tell because drivers continue to be developed and it’s still early days for wifi 7
