I put it further in the article because I thought it made sense for people to actually read the article rather than immediately click out -- and to have the link where I first started quoting John on a first reference.

I did indeed debate whether to put the link right in the lead. I did indeed not want people to immediately click out to read and potentially not read what I wrote. There was no "dishonesty" in doing that. The point of writing something is for people to actually read it.

You've got three main people who will read the article.

First, most of my own readers, who probably don't know John and don't particularly worry about what he has to say on the SEO front. The don't need a link to his article right from the opening. They came to read what our authors have to say on a topic.

Second, people who eventually will find this article years from now to learn about HTML title tags. At the time they come, the particular debate on this day won't matter. The advice, however, will. I actually debated whether I should even mention John's article in the opening for that reason, so as not to potentially date a future resource.

Third, people who may have read John's article and then somehow learned of my article. They aren't looking for a link right in the opening -- they read the article.

To make up for it being further down, to emphasize it more, I deliberately chose to link using the title of his article, rather than say from something like "write" or "post."

In terms of being "stingy" with links, Search Engine Land links out all the time. All the time. My article contains seven external links. The internal links to our own articles also contain external links.

If you're being downvoted, it's because you came in with an inaccurate comment and yourself got all angry about it. You missed the link, probably because you didn't bother to actually read the article, rather than it being so invisible as you'd like to make it out to be. Then, in your rush to condemn me, you didn't even bother to viewsource to double check that there was a link there, something that would have taken all of about five seconds to do.

When I pointed out your mistake, rather than apologize, say "oops, I missed it" and maybe suggest it could be more visible, you got even more defensive about it. You were wrong in your comment. You still haven't bothered to apologize for being wrong. Instead, you compound the error with allegations that my site is link "stingy" and that I somehow have "dishonest" link placement (if I were really trying to be "dishonest" from an SEO perspective, I'd have nofollowed the link).

I'm sorry I parroted your tone. That got to me, the attitude you displayed. I should have simply responded that yes, there was a link in the story. Now I've added a further one right in the lead of the story, which perhaps you'll find more reassuring.

Of course, Google seems to give anchor text credit to the first reference of a link, so that means John's article is now likely to be relevant for the word "dishing" rather than "Title Junk," but that's another consideration that I had in mind that was probably lost on you.
You don't need to video tape for that to happen.
I find it somewhat ironic that this video will not play on my CR-48.
Microsoft is a H.264 licensor, with one or more patens in the H.264/AVC patent pool. Having H.264 become the standard for publishing video on the Web will benefit them directly in terms of licensing fees.
Chrome is a risk? I'd say Chrome is a hedge against risk - allowing Apple, MS, Mozilla, etc. to dictate the terms of browser innovation.
I do cheerfully disagree, but thanks for your answer.

To my mind, his question surfaced some good observations from others on what actually is impressive about the Colosseum versus a modern quotidian office building, and deeper insights about historical versus modern accomplishments. Unfortunately, he may be discouraged from raising such an interesting contrast in future
Presumably short for "Silicon Valley".
Is that like a repeater or is there more to it?
Now if there were just a model that would clip images out of a page for me.
They have the main idea correctly. Two UI's that change depending on the mode of operation. A dense one for keyboard & mouse, and a more spaced-out for touch mode. All of their apps should be like MS office that changes density when you go from mouse to touch mode.
What is interesting to me is that having 200% power onboard is more cost efficient than only having 133% power onboard.
And it seems reasonable for an employer. What about banks? The argument I'm coming up with just isn't as compelling for no other reason than I'm 'only' risking my money, not corporate access.
IIRC academic studies have shown that people don’t ”love the flavor”; rather, they misattribute to flavor the craving they have for the neuropsychological effects of their preferred substances.
Part of the reason those jobs feel like bullshit is because they are future oriented. The market feedback mechanism in early stage [1] sectors of the economy is less direct and more variable than in later stage sectors such as retail. Work can thus feel less real to our brains and there is more opportunity for bullshit to get funded (e.g. Color).

Oh I don't blame him even a bit. I'm just confused by the folklore going on around this situation. I even had livid leftist friends calling me to tell me about the end of the capitalism and libertarian friends excited about sticking it to the establishment.

That was not my impression but maybe I got it wrong and maybe they are right. Nevertheless I enjoyed the saga, I don't trade. It's too stressful for me when I have a skin in the game.
On a somewhat more pleasant note wrt the company, they've been picking up ex-Amazon(AWS specifically) leadership to try and transform the company for the modern digital gaming market.

Whether this'll be successful or not we'll have to see but I think the company definitely has the potential to turn around and offer themselves as a decent digital storefront.

BTC replaces currency and currency transmission. It does not replace all financial systems or policy. If you just compare what BTC does, it does it like five orders of magnitude less efficiently.
Well, I'll be much more likely to try it if:

- The app page clearly says "Free forever," ideally in some kind of legally-binding language

- The app page clearly says "No ads, no data harvesting, ..."

... and so on.

I think consumers have been baited-and-switched a few too many times at this point. If I'm not paying, I'm either your product, or I'm going to be up-sold later.
Right, the most sympathetic reading of that paragraph I can think of is that they're intentionally grouping numbers of cases and comparing them to numbers of deaths to be intentionally misleading about the scale of the problem.
> pulls the plug on us today

To be clear, AWS had been giving them warnings for months.
> i doubt they have a future of growth or big profitability.

Oh, I agree. But prior to the recent craze it seems as though many were treating them as a failed company. Gamestop isn't Blackberry, or JCPenny.
I attended both conferences and both were great.

The traditional tool for digital communication at CCC congresses is IRC. I personally still like IRC, but I think the matrix web client at FOSDEM made channel discovery and navigation a lot easier.

I also think promoting Matrix could help with promoting open ecosystems in general. IRC works well, but it doesn't have the potential for mass adoption, which we need in order to curb WhatsApp's influence.
This is a good discussion of how it works: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/209941/two-s...
"most readers want to know is why they are important".
This happened to me in my second year studying physics and applied math. The math teacher did not know how to explain the importance of the math around the eigenvalues etc. Only a year later when taking quantum mechanics we got to the applications of that math. However in hindsight I hope he was trolling me :-) otherwise we need a separate curriculum for math teachers to get in touch with the reality :-)
I like the idea of the DONE list. This looks like an interesting application of that.
When you write something down it is not just the information passing through your eyes and brain onto the paper, it's the remnant of that information in your brain that counts. That's why note taking is useful.
That's why I suggested a paper wallet with offline-generated keypairs.

Bitcoin isn't ready for prime time, agreed. But it's still here.
Ok 134 tweets I can accept, but did 11,164 people really like it on Facebook in less than 24 hours or is that the likes for the whole site?
Actually corn hasn't made sugary-diets more affordable. Look up the prices. Corn-syrup couldn't compete with Brazilian cane sugar, even with subsidies if it weren't tariffs.

I agree though. Corn syrup is probably worse than cane sugar.

Biofuels from corn are very wasteful. Biofuels from, say, Brazilian sugar cane, again, are much better energy for money.
Sounds like 50% of my experience with BT. Of course, that's probably Comcast's fault.
No. Because people go offline and/or have expensive data plans, and/or sketchy wifi, and/or don't want to waste battery streaming.
And I'm supposed to care about this why? Tech Crunch vs Mahalo ... yep, can't feel a thing.
Seven years is plenty of time for congress to alter that part, and keep both taxes in place. Their justification would probably be to fund the IOU's for all of the money that was borrowed from the "pay off the debt" fund during the first seven years.
"Don't mix business with pleasure"

Out of curiosity, are there any examples to the contrary to this? Any long-term successful couples who've built a business together?
The article even says that you aren't telling the world your plans, your telling a specific group of people. I could see this being useful by starting out general and making the plans more specific over time, just like the article says. For example, I could post to a group of close friends that I want to go out on Friday night. Someone else could suggest dancing, and advertisers could suggest a specific club. Because this plan was generated by a group of close friends we can all go. This isn't all that different from how I see my plans made today, but it's online and made with a little more notice.
Can't your hosting provider terminate your contract?
isort also kind of has this bad behavior when using 'import as':

$ cat foo.py
from x import a, b, d, e
from x import c as C

$ isort foo.py
Fixing /tmp/foo.py

$ cat foo.py
from x import a, b
from x import c as C
from x import d, e
I'm not a user either but $40 at their current subscriber number comes in at a quarter billion dollars of revenue. How come everything else takes advantage of economies of scale but not virtual goods? $2 a month at scale would be great. Even greater if they allowed you to log into any of a number of fitness video services.
Thank you - I really, really enjoyed that. Given my bizarre linguistic background, that hit several sweet spots.

Cute how the CGI background is deliberately out-of-focus too. Very effective use of the technology.
But it pays cash and lots of it

How much? Can you be more, uh, quantitative here?
Before you start that bank job you should also think about whether what you're doing is moral and right. Whether by doing that job you're contributing to making the world a better place.
> Is it not remarkable that 6 sheep plus 7 sheep make 13 sheep; that 6 stones plus 7 stones make 13 stones?

Personally, I find it rather remarkable that a pattern observed from pebbles, sheep or apples (i.e., 6 + 7 = 13) should hold for any set of discrete objects anywhere in the universe. It could well have been that, say, 1 apple + 1 apple = 2.5 apples, but 1 kitten + 1 kitten = 1.5 kittens.
UPDATE: As some people have discovered, the three US operators themselves have decided that they use the same number to generate both the ICCID and the IMSI. So if you have one, you can compute the other. No need for HLR access, no need for the MAP protocol. So the information leak is in fact unrelated to the GSM protocol but simply a matter of how unfortunate those particular three operators assign their unique identifiers.

The kicker is in this update at the bottom. That's a pretty big oops.
"Once you're Apple and you have a bajillion dollars, you can afford to polish the insides of your battery cases"

hilarious. and spot on. thanks.
I don't know what indicator you can point to that suggests a decline of authority. The internet may give you a sense authority is being "questioned" (a fairly passive form of resistance) but that's been happening since the beginning of human hierarchies. Rest assured, no authority has actually been lost.
If it's a runtime environment for Java, it's a JRE in the sense that the term is usually used and understood. Language is a tool for communication; if you want "JRE" to mean something other than the common-sense interpretation of that acronym, the burden for making a clear distinction between your technical definition and the common-sense everyday use of that term is on you.
So, if the goal of investing is to get rich and the goal of being rich is to be happy, I have a good strategy.

Your overall net worth is not what makes you happy, it’s the CHANGE in net worth (up).

If you’re always heavily invested in the market, you are most of the time happy, because most of the time, the market goes up. This is punctuated by (relatively) quick periods of great loss/sadness.

But overall, you end up with a lot more happy times than sad. So a net positive to happiness. Not being invested in the market (at all or trying to beat a crash) means you have a period of net zero happiness. Which is worse on average than being in the market.

So, let it ride people... on average you’ll be happier!

(And actually, on average you’ll do better financially too.)
There are many situations where the fed is forced to end its current policies prior to the expected triggers of market stability or increased CPI. Political and social risk is likely underestimated.

That being said, examining the exit paths and forcing functions which would force Fed policy to change is something I'd like to see more of. There is a certain mentality floating around that there are no alternatives to being in the market, and that it's become too politically difficult to end Fed market support. If the latter is true, then there are a lot of consequences - such as returns becoming decoupled from cash flow see TSLA, Unicorns, or Hertz.
There are differences among these countries, but first, let's talk about reporting. Sweden says any death within a month of a Covid diagnosis (no PCR+ required, another can of worms) is due to Covid. Other Nordics are less sloppy. This makes Sweden count more deaths.

Finland is a hot mess on all health stats.

Norway has done better but also disavowed lockdowns.
> " I'd rather get a text/mms than an email which might get lost in my inbox."

That is what I thought. But actually, in practice, once one has moved from some old Nokia brick to a modern smartphone, the assumption is wrong. SMS has its place for sending someone a quick text but it is going the way of FAX, to be only used in some arcane circumstances.

With SMS the delivery was not as good as email. As mentioned, there is perfectly good wifi where I live but marginal phone signal. In theory I could find some remote mountain where there is only 2G but even then emails get delivered at least in header form.

The other thing is that when I had my SMS notifications I had to buy credits in advance. If the monitored sites were completely down and notifications were being sent to three people then those credits could run out quickly. So there was that unnecessary dependency on a third party service that had some credits to pay for in order for it to work. Totally non-strategic!

If we think of the dog and the selfies, say the dog just happens to tap the button every few seconds. That could be expensive with SMS but free on email.

You can also build some backup into the email approach, you can cc your private email as well as email your work one. There is none of the 140 character message length nonsense either.

Plus, who doesn't check their phone every 6 minutes or so?

To be slightly unfair, TFA is marketing spam. Even the box is over-engineered, you can get wifi PTZ cameras for small change on eBay and a few of them have an input for a switch so you can take 'selfies' with them, no wheel reinvention needed.
Have you done A/B testing on that, ie. whether you get more or fewer upvotes with the reminder?
My point is that every breeder reactor ever built has been a massive boondoggle. Certainly there were political reasons behind the failure of some of them, but it remains a completely unproven technology. The technology may well work brilliantly, but we can't base the future of our civilisation on the assumption that eventually we will build a breeder that actually works. The history of nuclear technology is littered with expensive dead-ends.

Breeders might hypothetically be very efficient indeed, but the plants we are actually building or have actual plans to build are PWRs and BWRs with only marginally better efficiency.
Any news on a possible Flash export-to-html5 feature?
The author correctly, IMO, points out that this is not possible currently because there's no Rust Specification, so the exact behaviour of such a compiler cannot even be described.

I was surprised by how informal the Rust language semantics are when I was trying to find out how the `?` operator works, exactly. There's no official description anywhere except for an RFC which was created before the feature was introduced, but from which the feature has diverged significantly since it was added to the language!

The Rust Book, normally assumed to be the "true" description of the language, is quite incomplete in places as it's not a formal specification. For example, the section about `?` does not mention that different error types will be auto-converted if there's a `From` implementation between them. This is quite important information missing from the documentation. Just from reading that page, you would be writing really verbose type conversions yourself, everywhere.

But the Rust Book does mention this elsewhere[2] (if you're careful enough reading the first link, you can see that it says `?` is "more or less" equivalent to `try!`, and reading the docs for `try!` you could actually find out what it does, and hope they didn't change anything when implementing `?` - but that's a quite a lot of assumptions). You just need to read the whole book, or at least be lucky enough to look at all the right places, to make sure you understand how a language feature works, precisely.

Yes. Read the classic 1975 book "Life After Life" by Raymond Moody who systematically defined these common elements after interviewing thousands of people who had NDEs.
Agreed, my group uses Google Jamboard and for this to be more useful it would at least need to add tokens for all the standard classes/generic baddies as well as replicating pretty much all the other Jamboard features, especially placing images as backgrounds (none of us wants to redraw a map when we have a perfectly good jpeg from the manual already) and something like the laser pointer to aid communication.
Why do I need to login to read that posting?
XMarks has a version that lets you run your own sync service (WebDav or FTP, IIRC). That only covers bookmarks though.

Paranoia or convenience. Take your pick. You can't really have both.
In that example I only wanted to illustrate parametric polymorphism on type T (and ignore the overloading on operator > that happens).
My suggestion is to have a look at studying CS at Cambridge in the UK, it's one of Europe's tougher CS degrees plus there's a healthy startup community (both among students and is the local area).
A technology fanboy.
> First, you can name desktops. I find this very handy for quickly switching

Xmonad has extensions for naming and renaming workspaces. And I think you over-exaggerate how Stumpwm/ratpoison tiling differs from Xmonad.
Posterous could offer a really simple, and optional, security option by disabling auto-posting unless your email includes a secret key. E.g. you would have to write 'passkey=tomato' somewhere in your email.

If the email doesn't include the passkey, the user would receive a "click link to publish" email.

Simple.
I'm just a lone guy who built this in his spare time ;) If it turns out that this project has real world value to people, then an API seems like an obvious next step.
Lol, that's a good thought but no. I still have some pretty specific memories of some things I made (lots of spaceships).
I worked in a Haskell shop for a while. What I found was perhaps not precisely that they skewed smarter, but they definitely skewed more experienced. There were quite a few engineers who had been at it for two or more decades and very few whose first language was modern JavaScript. They were all very happy to be working in Haskell, so the morale benefit was substantial.

This did not, perhaps, always result in better code. It did at times result in an excessive faith in the power of types to solve all problems easily and neatly. This sometimes got awkward, such as when the team had to learn what XSS was and how to prevent it.
Yeah, Alphabet certainly came to mind when I first heard the news about Meta. I'm guessing it's for tax reasons too since they're also (well, Facebook) located in Ireland. There seemed to be a big push to move companies to Ireland a few years back.
If the invention is patentable, I'd suggest starting with a provisional patent
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisional_application

then, you can start openly discussing the invention either with investors or companies while you work through the full patent process.

If the invention is not patentable, then I'd say write about it, contact companies or people who might be interested.

If you want to be involved in the project long-term, make sure they are aware of that, and maybe they'll hire you on if you've got the requisite skill.

As a green initiative which 'might' be profitable, don't ignore grants or philanthropic groups which may be interested in funding or introducing you to people who might be able to help.

In general, find a way to protect your idea, and then get out there and talk about it.
Just because there is an element of chance doesn't mean it's not a "true" game of skill. Sites like pokertableratings.com and sharkscope.com keep track of cash and tournament winnings, and maybe 100k hands gives a good sample that overcomes variance.

Poker's become much tougher the last five years or so. Quite a few of the top players formerly played Starcraft, MvC2, Warcraft, backgammon, Magic the Gathering, chess, etc. at the highest levels.

That mentality does make the games profitable though.
I will say that. If you look at the economics of the situation it is very very unlikely for a ranch hand to ever be able to purchase a ranch.
