Have I been Trumped by Google? (Sift Talk Post)
@Mordhaus thx for the info regarding your browser choice.
@iaui yes.
Have I been Trumped by Google? (Sift Talk Post)
@Mordhaus
Why would you prefer chrome over firefox?
Just asking because I do not have a preference after opera dropped out of my sweet spot.
Have I been Trumped by Google? (Sift Talk Post)
This seems to be a false positive issue on chromes end for some days.
Saw some logs from admins reporting the same for the current version of chrome post 04032017. Also, there were false positives due to a bug some time ago.
It can result from taking up malformed parts of the page due to missing / unbound variables etc. and interpreting it as modified site content. Even perfectly fine content can be misinterpreted in certain circumstances.
example of older false positive bug: empty attribute in form header

Not even the dead can rest these days if you ladies and gentlemen make such a ruckus.
It may be that this topic is polarizing. But is it necessary that the flow of communication in this thread degrades to a level close to a "youtube discussion" ? Remember that even if you may fail to find a common political foundation to create a society, you are still talking to human beings, trolls and bots capable of feeling pain.
If you need to use words like weapons just to get your points through or are just arguing for the sake of exchanging verbal hits, well ... thanks for being a good example about "how not to communicate".

I went deeper into the history of the sift.
I've read lots and lots of threads buried in the past. After that I found out that the videosift is not a place where I want to be.
Back to lurking, watching a video from time to time, ... .
I will not participate anymore. Seems like a waste of time and words.

Perfect.

It's always nice if it's a time zone that covers a patch that Lucky and I don't have, but definitely not a restriction as Lucky and I are already almost opposite.

Thank you very much for the trust put in your words. I was a bit surprised to read that entry, let me tell you why (I was searching for the sarcasm mark ).
This account is very very young and still waiting to gain the reputation it currently lacks. The person behind the account, has been around much much longer but just recently decided to participate in an active manner.
Since the cookies were eaten there is no verifiable source for that claim. It is true that I favor a future where we have a thriving VideoSift (Passion, check). Sadly, I can not say that there is a knowledge of the community gears (With focus on the sift) good enough to be called deep.
So, in short I lack reputation and a deep knowledge regarding the VideoSift. From the perspective of a poweruser this has to be a "no go".
However, your nomination needs to be rewarded since it enhanced my motivation regarding this option even further. I am currently spending time on learning more about VS. Directly after that, I'll apply ( In about 2 - 3 days. I have a project that needs attention right now. ).
I nominate coffeejerkⓟ
Is this a marketing position??

I have a question for @dag or @lucky760 regarding the given job offer. Is there a restriction or preference regarding international applicants ? ( timezone issues, ... )

You can only be sure if you apply. I am sure the Woody Allen quote was included for a reason.
Unfortunately I want to apply, but would be unworthy of the cause.
How Germans Say "Squirrel."
According to http://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Squirrel.html The word squirrel, first attested in 1327, comes via Anglo-Norman esquirel from the Old French escurel, the reflex of a Latin word sciurus. This Latin word was itself borrowed from Ancient Greek word σκίουρος, skiouros, which means shadow-tailed, referring to the bushy appendage possessed by many of its members.
Seems fine if correct.
And @chingalera you can one i from aluminium. As long as you stay away from silicon .
Would think it'd sound more like 'skwiro' in Clapham; though there is a high chance your friends in Clapham were Polish
I fully defend the i in i-um in aluminium though. You wouldn't call helium helum or uranium uranum.
I'm guessing it only got bent into 'aluminum' because it became a popular and cheap element to manufacture with, so it entered the pop lexicon of America and got softened up.

Agreed.

Why cant non probationary, non gem, members *dead/dupe/rel (Wtf Talk Post)
I am happy with my powers right now (And I will sift my first video when I find it).
But I sense that a lot of people put time in thinking about improvements on the sift. Maybe a change/feature - request page would be a probable solution ( votes and discussions set the context and weight to the request ) in order to utilize these willing forces. It will give users a place to put and discuss requests. And the developer party the option to respond directly to given requests (yes / would be awesome but we have no rocket ship / next version / no).
That being said I am unaware of the current life/release cycle of the sift and manpower behind it. So someone may apply a sanity check to my suggestion.
