> and Expanding a program to award .ORG prizes to promote the success and positive impact of non-profit organisations.

WTF?

So, non-profits collect donations from people who want to support their respective missions, and now these scammers come along and want to use a monopoly to redistribute those donations based on what they think who the donations should go to, and then even want to be recognized for their "work" of forcing the redistribution of donations?

If there is one thing the .org registry could do to "promote the success and positive impact of non-profit organisations", then that would be to optimize their business as much as possible and offer the cheapest domain registrations on the market, so that non-profits can keep as much of their money as possible to spend on their core mission.

Even these bullshit "promises" would still be blatant corruption, you really have to wonder how much of a moron Vint Cerf is for not seeing that.
Then you're missing the point that the web is used for interactions not just information.
None of that stuff is heresy. Most of it is crackpottery and kookish, but crackpots and kooks tend to get debunked rather than shouted down. With heretics there’s usually no attempt at good faith counterargument at all.
In 2018, Koopmans reduced the weight of their buckwheat flour packages by 20% from 500g to 400g - claiming 'renewed' on the package, without specifying that 'renewed' only meant that less product was provided. It is unknown whether wholesale prices were affected, while it is certain that retail pricing remained exactly the same.

From the article, this example almost seems as if there was a deception. They claim their product is "renewed" but in reality all they have done is lessen how much you get. If I read renewed I would think they have changed the formula of their food, hopefully for the better, and that is why I am receiving less of their product. The fact is, nothing was changed, there is no renewed product and I am being sold less for more. Yes the price is still listed and I can make a decision as to if I buy it or not but be honest in this situation the company putting "renewed" on the packaging is hoping you believe they have improved their formula.
It actually has a pretty low center of mass. Most of its bulk is empty fuel tank, and the engines are on the bottom.
We definitely found this out the hard way. We tried to raise $750K for a seed round and were repeatedly told that our tech/team were great but that we didn't have enough traction.

It's kinda hard watching people go on about the "bubble" when you're just out there trying to scrap it out and find something that works.
This plays right into YCs hands: seed money is harder to get, but YC is still open for business. And with the number of deals they fund the remainder of the seed world is left with what they (incorrectly) perceive as 'second choice', now that the path to YC is well known.
Perhaps another takeaway from this article is that it'd be nice if more research papers benchmarked with vastly larger data sets.

Many researchers would love to do just that, of course. However, as many researchers will lament, it's not always easy to get 10+-figure node and 11+-figure edge data sets appropriate to a space being explored.

The best research benchmarks I see do compare to a single-core (often multithread or multiprocess) implementation. And they also show benchmark results on datasets of increasing sizes.

I agree with the authors that those sorts of papers aren't common enough, though. And we should strive to do better. Moreover, I agree that in practice in industry, many people over-optimize for horizontal scalability early, and/or do not realize potential savings and benefit by doing vertical optimizations after gaining initial scale.
Leaking your auth tokens through XSS sucks more.
On top of everything else mentioned in the sibling comments, riding on the sidewalk is illegal in many locales.

That's not the issue; addition requests volume has suddenly gone way up because of this new Apple policy, and the volunteers that run the PSL are not prepared for it.
Probably at GPT6 because I would have to be convinced I was real with all the simulation qualia on top of that. Pretty convincing so far.
Sweet diagram! Did you use Monodraw to draw it? Or something else?
I believe a lot of bicycle hate in middle class American culture is a result of propaganda from big oil corporate lobbying.

I also read somewhere recently a theory that big cars are a way of protecting (even just psychologically) wealthy people from reality as they have to travel through areas of poverty to get from one wealthy pocket to another. Makes sense when recalling Rob Moses's work with nyc
I don't understand why more sports don't just have regulation equipment that all athletes must wear and use.

You aren't allowed to bring your own soccer ball, basketball, football, etc. Why do we allow some items that have a huge impact, to be up to the player/team?
In some places it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk.

Also, the width and amount of obstructions on sidewalks varies widely.
Maybe 6 months ago a previous discussion here led me to Paprika, an Android/iOS app, and I've been loving it. It is a paid app, $5, IIRC.

The killer feature is that you can be on a recipe in the browser and do "Share", pick Paprika, and it'll grab, almost without fail, the recipe from within the pages and pages of prose that most recipes have these days.

I also use the sharing so my wife has access to the same recipe set, though she doesn't use it as much as I do. I use the Photos feature, and also take notes about how it comes out if I want to make changes.
Dividends are taxable, and they're often paid to entities that are unable to structure "profits" as carefully as the largest corporations can. So, in this discussion in which everyone (even Jeff B!) seems to agree that more taxes should be collected, dividend requirements would be a way to do that.

Of course, that's too tame. We'd be better off eliminating the most common forms of incorporation, or severely curtailing them e.g. maximum revenue limits. All the things that corporations can do, individuals, partnerships, mutual-benefit firms, etc. can also do, except often more carefully.
Honestly I personally just want the ability to save specific messages. My friend sends me a recipe? Save. Just shooting the shit? Don't save. I don't understand why people want to save their whole chat history but I do understand why you'd want to save specific messages, and that's a big missing feature.
But why should we judge the web stack by comparing it to the worst examples of the past? We should really compare it with the best options available today.
andy berhardt (not related) gives the best arguments against javascript. the fact that there's no integer is really crazy to me.
Staring at code 8 hours a day.. Maybe that's the problem.

As someone who's had to run programming groups and do the programming work, I will say open floor plans are the worst idea ever.

If you need/want to get into the zone on a project and actually make progress, the open floor plan will keep you from doing that as much as possible. For breaks, the last thing I would be doing is going on facebook or checking email or doing other useless crap like that.

Your job sounds horrible if people can just walk up any time for any reason. And if you're spending time looking at cat gif's then I think you or your manager needs to revisit how you're spending your time. Doesn't sound like work to me. Sorry...

He says that it isn't an effective medium of exchange or a good storehold of value. I wonder what has changed between then and now.
I wonder what makes nerds like us end up with that opinion.

Surely anyone that reaches adulthood ought to know that selling yourself well and having some damn good looks will bring your farther than just being the real deal?

It takes some huge lack of awareness of one's surrounding not to notice it
Which is why you let people defer them, rather than just getting rid of them.

If they budgeted for a 200k house, that turned into a 2M house, they should be ecstatic when they sell it, the government takes the property taxes and they still get to keep more than 200k.
Really? Because I found that my inability to do matrix math on my second Math 100 exam corresponded pretty well with my lack of understanding about how matrix math worked.
Exactly! That was my motivation too when writing a similar tool as a browser extension [0].

There's more to "the basement" than keeping it small, I think. There's also the aspect of dreaming; of shooting for something really, really big & exciting. There are a few businesses that scale without growing the size of the team much, but it's still extremely hard. For the most part, either you stay small and lose the ambition-excitement, or you get big.

Personally, I'm really not convinced that one is better than the other.
Who cares why? If they can't find a tenant beyond a certain amount of time, they can be made to pay a tax, lower the price to find one faster, or sell.
The marketing isn’t the stats, it’s the public claims they can make about tracking them.
Maybe the banks (and gov't policy) are the problem. Easy loans mean people can take out ever increasing amounts of debt driving property values up and up. People dump all that money and have nothing left to improve or maintain properties (see million dollar+ track homes in the Bay Area). Meanwhile in order to service the ever increasing debt +property taxes, rents are driven up.
Wasn't del.icio.us sold to Pinboard?
I don't think there's any drug that'll "Fix" your anxiety. The problem with benzos and anxiolytics is that they work short term but the tolerance is going to be bad and the rebound effect is going to be worse and last forever.

The right anti-depressant or ssri Might help, even if depression isn't the exact thing you're trying to resolve. As far as I understand, benzos or anxiolytics help manage the Really Bad Moments, the Peaks so to speak. But you cannot rely on them indefinitely.
SSRIs and antidepressants are kinda poorly understood. We generally know "okay this drugs tends to hekp helps" and "this drug does x to your brain" but not "this is how doing x to your brain maps to y behavior" (the latter is all theorizing based on empirical testing, but lacks the underlying explanatory rigor physics has).

Anyways, the most useful thing I've found both in my own life and in the experience of friends is: therapy. Often times therapy +some drug to help manage things, but I think therapy forms the basis of any mental health treatment. And it has to be a good therapist who Cares and knows you well (this latter point being something you can develop over time). I think the main battle with mental health is "changing how you think" and that's what therapy + medication is good for. Therapy helps reveal limiting beliefs, shines a light on the corners of your mind that you might be overlooking, and medication helps with implementing what you learn.

I'm not a doctor, and I'm not Your doctor, so grain of salt and all.
Yeah, that's really not so different from being sold naked in irons at slave auctions for centuries. Also similar is the way everyone can identify jews by the star on their foreheads, and mormons by the bright glow of their genitals.
Over prescription of pain relievers is widely regarded as what caused the opioid epidemic. Sedation causes lots of deaths every year. Back pain is highly avoidable with basic lifestyle changes. I don't know much about MS.

My grandma took a weight loss drug called Fen-Phen and had heart issues late in life because of it. It was a low-grade form of speed used by house wives in the 70s for appetite suppression and increased energy.

US history leans overly medicalized and drugged IMO.
That’s the gist of it. A moderated conference call with famous people on it. So it is like a podcast/conference call.

I tried it, but got bored of it :(. I think it’s because of the live nature of it and the fact there could be so many guests on at once.

I think clubhouse style audio and live stream selling (like qvc but on Instagram or Tik Tok) are the current and future trends.
Exactly this. There's a lot of historic revision that says IE was never good, but there was a significant chunk of time around IE2 and IE3 where it slaughtered Netscape on Windows. Better performance, less crashing all around.

IE4 is where ActiveX and browser bloat started to become more obvious, then IE5 was an improvement again.. but we were only a short time from the launch of what would become Firefox. By that point, people were tired of the constant IE issues.
This made me realize how messed up my day is.

California:

Wake up at 1 - 2 pm

Wash brush

3 pm go out and get breakfast and listen to podcast

3:30 pm I record podcast

5 pm I play with the kids (niece and nephew)

6 pm fire up laptop edit the podcast write a blog post - if the stars are aligned I may publish.

8 pm I waste time on the web

10 pm watch a movie and dinner.

12 am I open blender and work on my 3d project

3 am I code and experiment new tech.

4 am I listen to another podcast while playing clash of clans

5 am I am consumed by sleep.

Context: I quit my job 6 months ago after 3 and a half year. I am trying a bunch of new things to see what sticks.
You have to trust someone. Unless you're using multiple datacentres, you are trusting your datacentre/hosting provider. All it takes is one billing dispute before they turn you off.

Re: mailing list, the great thing about email (unlike facebook), is you can change how you send you emails and your end user can still get your emails, and they don't know you've changed. Whereas with Facebook, you can't just change to (say) Diaspora without affecting your users.
It may well be the case that one or both of US and Singaporean schools are worse at educating blacks/whites/hispanics than hypothetical school system you can dream up.

It is irrelevant when considering the question of whether Singaporean schools do a better job than US schools. For all we know, Singaporean schools might be worse than US schools - i.e., they could education Asians equally well, but blacks/whites/hispanics vastly worse [1]. But it wouldn't matter since Singapore doesn't have any blacks/whites/hispanics.

[1] You actually see this effect (Simpson's paradox) when comparing US states. Texas is better at educating blacks, whites and hispanics than Wisconsin, but appears worse when averaging over the entire population.

I would imagine that the keywords they are using in their title should really be on the relevant pages for their term. I always wondered how all the different sites worked to be honest. All the little domains that Microsoft have never seem to be consistent with their brand either?

I find their websites so detached from each other, the deeper you get into the microsoft site, the more the theme changes.
Aesthetics is a core problem if you need people to pay a considerable amount of money before they can start using your product.

This is what makes design at Google fundamentally different from design at Apple.
You're right, Nginx is great too. (I'm not familiar with the OpenBSD source, but it looks good.) I probably prefer Nginx to SQLite, but I think that's mostly personal preference -- I don't like excessive in-source documentation.
No, not in the presence of delivery failures.
Your article states it was a recruiter - are you sure about this?

My experience with Google interviews is nothing as ridiculous as what you had, really just sounds like a bad apple.
Monthly print magazines love to name their issues by the month after the one you'll be reading it in, so usually 1-2 months later than the publishing date. It's supposed to make it seem more newsy or something - I assume this is the intended reader reaction: "A message from the future? For me? What an honour!"

That said, the images and the cover look familiar. It also says ©2010. Pretty sure it's from sometime last year.
ed is the standard text editor - used to say so in its manpage, too.

I own a Unix book in which the authors dismiss vi as too bloated to be usable ("you need a large PDP-11 for it to fit into memory and still have room for an actual text to edit") and having too many features for anyone to need.
I will stop using the fucking app. It is time to change tech industry and to actually charge for a product other then to sell the users. Let's stop this!
I'm a little surprised by Linus's comments. The Xeon e3's are just slightly tweaked core i3/i5/i7s. Similar pricing, similar priced motherboards (maybe another $30), ECC support, and ever to slightly lower clocks to hit their reliability goals for servers.

So I bought a Xeon e3-1230 (forget which gen)_it was cheaper than the (then) top of the line i7, was 100-200MHz slower, and supported ECC.

AMD does support ECC with their desktop CPUs, but doesn't guarantee it will work with a given motherboard. Some motherboards "work" in that the ECC dimms are compatable and report extra memory for available, but don't actually implement ECC (actually correcting errors). There's forums to dig around in info, and some motherboard manufacturers test for ECC compatibility and publish the results, other's don't.

Personally I prefer the Intel approach, for those willing to pay a bit more per CPU and motherboard get cheap ECC and are guaranteed to work. AMD's approach is leaves more up in the air, you can't just buy a random ryzen, random motherboard, and random ECC dimms and be guaranteed to work.
This is however guaranteed with the AMD epyc, but they are MUCH more expensive then the Intel Xeon E3 line.
That tweet in the article might be the most felonies anyone has ever admitted to in a single tweet.
Not logging in gives you a better experience than being logged in, especially when you can use incognito mode.

I don't see one myself; at the very least, you need a signalling server. Under ipv6, there is less NATing involved, but you're still going to have problems with firewalls.
How well do Signal groups work these days? I tried moving friend groups to signal some years ago and even managed to do that for some large ones but the group chat just didn't really work. Keys changed and somehow the group got into a state where some people got messages and others didn't and the only way to fix it seemed to be creating a new group which, for large groups, isn't really an option and everyone ended up going back to whatsapp.

I'd love to use signal with more people but that, and the ux around changing phones means I can't really recommend it to anyone but the most technical of my friends.
no but then again ANTIFA and BLM have code for all their rhetoric. Violent activity is just referred to as "direct action".
This seems laptop specific, i.e. having the MacBook + 2x external extended displays via Thunderbolt. I think surely the Mac Mini M1 works with 2x monitors though (extended)? Has anyone tested this?
yeah if the metric goes up there is a difficulty of attributing it to particular team. However, I guess if that occurs in a local geographic region after a conference it likely it was the efforts of that conference.
Trump isn’t the police so it’s not entrapment and he isn’t above the law.

Law enforcement people constantly tell us that you can never underestimate the stupidity of criminals. Whether or not they're correct I don't know, but they keep saying it.
I actually think the existence of Viber is a testament to how much Western tech does not pay attention to parts of the world like Asia.

I genuinely hate the UX of Viber but since moving back to the Philippines, I've been involved in this long lesson on how much tech orgs (at least in the US) don't pay attention to these parts of the world. It seems to me that lack of care and attention leads to the rise and dominance of companies like Viber, Grab, Lazada, and their ilk in markets like the Philippines.

In the end, these apps that you and I both despise are what works best for the consumers that use them most precisely because they just work (but not well).
I've not personally used it, but on another thread people have mentioned Envel Bank: https://www.envel.ai/
There's a bit of a difference between people gathering and protesting or even rioting in <various big cities around US> and actually storming the US Capitol Building during the tally of Electoral College votes with the intention of, somehow in their twisted minds, preventing that tally and succession to the next democratically elected president.
> If it is, then it's a crazy legal loophole and Trump would just be the first to exploit it.

Sorry (and apologies to Godwin but this is legitimate) but Hitler taking power in 1933 was through a "crazy legal loophole" too. Just stop it. Take it seriously. This was a failed coup, but still a coup. Historically, failed coups (c.f. Hitler in 1923) often get repeated, successfully.
Just today I had to give permissions to cron of all things to use the disk on my new computer. What do they think crontabs are used for?
Price and functionality. It’s incredibly easy to use, unlike AWS and Google Cloud. The downfall is that you have a bit less control, but that’s never been an issue for me. Their servers have been incredibly reliable, they offer managed databases now, load balancer, S3 compatible Spaces. Everything I’ve needed so far, predictable and affordable pricing, and none of the complexity.
The implant definitely can write, but it's more power intensive than reading, and lower priority.
Indeed, it's no wonder fungi has a whole kingdom of life to itself.

A fun fact I like to repeat is that fungi are more closely related to us than to plants -- their evolution diverged from animals 9 million years after plants, some 1.5 billion years ago.

But much, much worse due to Motoblur and Sense: you buy an Android phone, get used to the UI, buy another Android phone and get a completely different UI from the base package.

> I can't recall if they still sold the 2G after the 3G came out but it wouldn't surprise me.

They didn't, they didn't consider the entry-level market at all (which is what the 3G serves currently and the 3GS will serve after the 4th generation's release) so the 2G got instantly deprecated the day the 3G was released.
I'm in. It's just a two second jump :)
Why haven't you heard of Yandex? they're all over httpd logs.
That's true, but this is a way to perceive depth for people who can't view stereoimages (e.g., people blind in one eye). You do experience some amount of depth even though each eye is receiving the same information.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy#Wiggle_stereoscopy:

Wiggling works for the same reason that a translational pan (or tracking shot) in a movie provides good depth information: the visual cortex is able to infer distance information from motion parallax, the relative speed of the perceived motion of different objects on the screen. Many small animals bob their heads to create motion parallax (wiggling) so they can better estimate distance prior to jumping.
Investigate "aggressive degradation". It revolves around the principle of not stressing over delivering the same exact functionality - but delivering something that DOES work in its simplest forms. A GIF when a PNG would look nicer. Squared off corners when border-radius would look nicer and you can't be bothered with background images and floats (yes I am aware this is an IE-wide problem).
One improvement would be for the animations to at least happen in parallel, having them sequential seems over the top. It's a few seconds of waiting for a new puzzle to finish all of its animations. It would be nicer if they all happened together in about 500ms.
