Of all the bad things YouTube has done, this is by far the worst.

After you skip an ad, there’s this persistent pop-up about the same ad which you have to skip again by going into the 3-dot menu.

May not sound as bad but is VERY annoying.

@Dea_rMen Thanks for flagging this.

We reviewed your account and found that you are reposting content word-for-word from other accounts multiple times a day.

Your account has now been demonetized.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Members of Parliament are elected and paid to represent citizens in the National Assembly, particularly during consequential moments that directly affect the lives of millions of Kenyans. When a Finance Bill is before the House, that is not an ordinary parliamentary sitting, it is one of the most important votes an MP will cast during their term.

If an MP knows such a vote is scheduled and chooses to be out of the country, that decision itself is open to public scrutiny. Explaining an absence is not the same thing as justifying it.

The issue is not whether he had a passport or a plane ticket. The issue is whether foreign travel was more important than participating in a vote that determines taxation, public spending, and the economic burden placed on the very people who elected him.

Sometimes I can't believe VLC, Libreoffice, DaVinci etc are completely free but people still pay for the expensive alternatives

How does the EPRA committee sit for hours only to 'reduce' fuel prices by Sh0.22?

[Nickson M. Kaigi @nickaigi]

@oti_ian 😅 here I was thinking that it was because of the speed cams.

Nairobi needs to shift from trying to solve every mobility challenge with flyovers, wider roads, and elevated highways to investing in fast and reliable public transport.

If I were ever abducted by Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

This talk is a wild ride through #Java optimization, profiling, memory mapping, parallelism, and shaving milliseconds off a seemingly impossible problem.
