I've worked in SEO for 6 years (I'm an SEO copywriter), and I know there's good and bad in the industry, as in any industry. In SEO, I think the biggest problem is a lack of respect for the audience. That's why you get sites with poor usability, as described by throwaway123 below. But it's not always the SEOs who are responsible for that. Remember, they're being paid by someone. Yes, there are times when the SEO's client DOESN'T understand the impact of the SEO they're commissioning. But there are also times when they do. It's easy to blame the practitioners here, and often that blame is justified. But we only have to look around us to remember that business -- big or small -- is generally far more interested in short term gain than long term customer satisfaction. So it should come as no surprise that many businesses are prepared to turn a blind eye to practices that hinder usability and visitor value.

The other common problem in SEO is ineptitude. Many people call themselves SEOs when really they're just opportunistic freelancers and entrepreneurs. Their SEO knowledge is poor and their business management skills lacking. This ultimately impacts EVERYONE connected with the job, even those only remotely connected (like the good SEOs out there).
By "this article", do you mean the article in question, or was that a self-reference to your own comment?

Also I ignored what you were saying because your use of a temporary placeholder in your first sentence was a red flag, indicative of poor writing. Better would have been "This article demonstrates clearly why I hate abuse of the "this" keyword in jQuery", eliminating the extra "it" altogether.
How do you plan to differentiate from http://wikitravel.org? Is http://localwiki.org supposed to be more localised / higher resolution? Targeted at locals instead of tourists?
I'm really not sure you can call the cities at the top of that index "developed". i.e. Detroit.

Those cities have stats that make people from actual developed countries gasp in horror.
In my understanding, it isn't the state that matters, but rather the type of firm that sells you power. If e.g. you have Ameren UE or another investor-owned corporation, they are required to pay something like the going rate for your excess power. However, if you're with a co-op like Laclede Electric, they aren't required to pay more than a small fraction of the price, and even then under onerous conditions like only giving you credits that expire within a year.

That isn't to say I'm a fan of Ameren. They get up to their own shenanigans, just not these particular shenanigans. I suspect the reason they don't care about this is that it's a perfectly PUC-acceptable reason to raise rates for everyone else. At a co-op with voting members, however, that maneuver isn't so easy.
What is a sha256 SUM?
How do you handle reliability? I'm reading http://nsq.io/overview/features_and_guarantees.html and I'm curious how you've set up your architecture to handle node failures without losing messages, or if losing messages is acceptable in your use case.

I'm also curious if you've had issues with duplicated delivery, where a message is delivered more than once, and how you've handled that case.
Some regulation can be good. Airbnb, Lyft and to a lesser degree Uber (definitely UberX) are all competing with established industries that are heavily regulated for a reason.

Hotels and taxis are regulated to protect consumers (think safety).

Requiring car manufacturers to sell via franchised dealers protects franchised dealers.

That's a big difference.
> In C++ there is another reason that capture-by-reference is a sensible default: there is no garbage collector. It is up to the programmer to ensure that the lexical environment remains valid for the lifetime of the closure, and so you can only capture locals by value if you return a closure.

That's true, and it's why we applied the same reasoning to Rust. But we ended up with a very confusing situation. The definition of "closure" in an imperative language really implies capturing by reference; virtually all imperative languages that aren't C++ (or Rust) work this way (in Java it's a little muddy because of the final restriction, which is much maligned because it violates this intuition).

A closure that captures by value just isn't a closure by most programmers' definitions, and I think that the language would be better off treating it as something syntactically different from a closure.
It's not only a problem in SF, exploding rents is a problem all over the world. But is "barriers to new construction" the problem? No one ever explains those, just blames politicians. But for a property owning corporation it is obviously a poor idea to invest in new apartments because that would reduce the value of the ones they already got. It's not much different from OPEC not wanting to flood the market with oil.
I don't think anyone here has any issues with you creating a site for the Indian community, I think most people disagree with your use of "Hacker News". Why don't you just create a site, call it something else and link to it from here? That's probably the better approach
> What do you guys think the impact of this will be?

Apple does the majority of its sales outside the US. GV does not work outside the US.

There sure is a disconnect going on between how big corporations utilize copyright to their advantage and how regular folks deal with it, rather hamfistedly, as in this case.

I disagree with your earlier statement that this might be a new way in which the public "thinks about copyright", it is rather the new way in which it is /misunderstood/. So I'd say we shouldn't confuse the mounting ignorance in the general populace (which is, mostly, attributable to just the sheer amount of stuff that is out there - logic usually fails when something gets too big to follow) with an actual shift in consciousness. There is a need to rethink a lot of this, but that shouldn't be about "how do we break the old thing", but about "how do we create a new thing" - and that is where efforts like CC come into play.

So I don't really disagree that this is a widespread phenomenon, I'm just saying that it will not be where the change comes from in the future. That is, of course, unless reality is particularly cruel to us.
Microsoft would just do it sooooo badly

they probably have the best and most advanced implementation out there: www.mesh.com

it does exactly what the guy above describes that he wants from Google, except that it is available now and can also be used as a platform for apps
To hell with the budget for now. I would love to learn all this, money can be arranged if I present a proper research proposal (with BOM) to proper authorities (Read my parents).

I would have to start from scratch though, all of my experience has been in AVR and avr-gcc. Lets see how all of this works out.
But isn't "what is the value of n?" just a rephrasing of the OP's question?
Particularly when if you paste the first paragraph (all three and a bit lines of it) into Word it points out the "Id/I'd" error and two other errors (traveling [sic] and hasnt [sic]).

Unikernels won't take off till they can be built with languages that aren't ocaml. Sorry if that's not a message you're comfortable with but its there.
Private contact discovery and other metadata protection claims are largely security theatre. SGX is entirely broken and those with physical (and sometimes even remote) access can dump keys at any time.

They pinky swear they always patch and never dump keys when they have the chance though.

The same is true at my work which is not FAANG, but one of the big four in its industry. I guess it's just the nature of corporations.
People talk about dog-years too, but past some very crude level there's no avoiding knowing something about about the lives of dogs, or parrots, or goldfish. At which point it's less confusing to use ordinary earth-years for everyone.

Lines of code are not a good metric for the importance of the contributions. You can see that the top developer actually made a single 26k loc commit that just removed a driver.
I use a PHP analytics platform on a shared VPS hosting and it can track 1M+ monthly visits without any issues.

Why would node be able to handle so much more HTTP requests than Apache or Nginx? I think the throughput is mostly dictated by implementation.

On an iPhone (or any other current iOS device) you can know that you have nearly all, if not all of the processing power available (OS does notifications, wifi, etc).

On an Android you have no idea how fast the processor is, no idea how much there is going on in the background and so on. You will have to aim lower for the game to be usable on an average Android, while an average amount of other applications are running.

Possibly not on topic, but true and relevant.

The two generals problem has the assumption of finite communication speed as its foundation. So, to fails if one does have infinite communication speed. This post shows how the assumption is indead correct.
Agreed --- looks like the rankings of the variables are the same for each country, and even the ratios vary only slightly. This information would be better presented in a table (with standard error reported) or a bar graph. The original OECD[1] report presents this information much more lucidly. When The Economist filtered the OED report, they should have paid more attention to clarity of presentation.

For KayaDB, we handle it as follows: elements involved in the transaction are all duplicated onto a single server, the original values change from scalar to a reference, redirecting to the new location, the transaction is executed on the single server, the elements are then re-propagated.
I live in Vancouver proper and rarely drive. The city has done a pretty good job on the bike routes; I can get to nearly anywhere in Vancouver within a 30 minute bike ride from my home turf of Mount Pleasant. I think forcing parking lots under ground and limiting parking spaces has been great for the city! It is definitely a trend with new buildings to have limited parking options. My workplace office houses about 60 people but we only have 4-5 parking spots which incentivizes alternate transit modes. Having limited parking options means that many people at my work live local to the office and either bike or walk to get there, which I think is awesome!

Ultimately the city of Vancouver cannot grow out anymore therefore we need to grow up without increasing the amount of traffic on the roads. I think the key to limiting traffic on the roads is to build dense walkable communities connected by solid transit options.

Regarding solid transit options: I think the city desperately needs a broadway skytrain all the way to UBC and a skytrain line which goes from metrotown straight west down 49th avenue connecting with the canada line at oakridge and ultimately terminating at UBC.

Going east-west in the city kind of sucks right now and most of the crappy buses to ride on are east-west due to overcrowding.
As someone who has worked on cars and motorcycles seems ok to me. Most failed aftermarket modifications will be like random DNA changes- no affect, a purely cosmetic affect, or a dead machine. And risks are mostly to the driver so there is an incentive not to mess up.

A winner from 1993 is very interesting too:

It implements Conway's Game of Life by creating a DSL using the C preprocessor and printf. The output is a program (several initial boards are supplied to bootstrap) which is the input program to be compiled and run to create the next generation. This is the program for a second generation:

LIFE

L _ _ _ _ _
L _ _ O _ _
L _ _ _ O _
L _ O O O _
L _ _ _ _ _

GEN 2 STAT 328960
END

Each symbol like "LIFE" is a macro, the board is the program.

> If wal-mart stops selling a brand of ice cream, is that censorship?

If WalMart sold ice cream to white people, but not to black people, that would be pretty awful both morally and it would be illegal.

The thing with speech is it is inherently attached to a person. There is no speech in a vacuum. Google has basically said that certain people shouldn't be able to speak. As politics is a personal belief like religion, it is sad it is not a protected civil right. But that's what this is--saying certain people can express their beliefs, but others can't.
This is why I like Hacker News. If the content transcends the medium, it will get a high enough ranking to bubble to the front page.
Not sure what you're trying to say, but it sounds like a bad take. Pick any/all reasons:

- Trump family also using private email server for gov communication

- Implying that a random Mastodon instance on the internet would be more trusted than his own

- Implying that it matters at all for posting public messages or is similar in any way to private messages
> Oh, and by the way, if a judge dismisses a case on procedural, jurisdictional or standing and then goes on to provide an opinion of the claims/evidence presented in a complaint -- it doesn't mean that the adjudication was based upon the merits of the case.

That...depends. “Failure to state a claim” is one of the bases that is being described as procedural, but it can involve not just a analysis of whether the plaintiff has recited the legal elements of an actual offense, but whether the evidence the plaintiff has identified that they can present would be sufficient, before considering any potential counterevidence, to make a prima facie case for facts that would justify the claim stated. Where that analysis is conducted, and it is concluded in the negative requiring dismissal, while the basis may be characterized as “procedural”, it includes exactly a decision about the merits of the case.

That is what has occurred in several of the cases at issue where failure to state a claim was one of the grounds for dismissal.
thanks for sharing it Tosh :)
It doesn’t work for me anymore. Even if I have a few I don’t get a buzz anymore. If I have a lot I black out and turn into an idiot.

> Is being alterable really the important distinction here though?

Yes. This is literally the entire argument against racism: judging someone for physical traits that have no bearing on their character.

> If I invented a machine that could change physical features between the various ethnicities of the world, would banning Indians from your hotel suddenly be ok?

No, for many obvious reasons.

1. Looking Indian (or not) still has no bearing on that person's behavior or character.

2. It would cost money and be an identity change, so not everyone could/would do it.

I can't believe anyone is seriously asking questions like this in 2021. Read a book.

Where I live the numbers your suggesting would be amazing!

In Vancouver proper, Average 3 bedroom house price is $2.1M. A townhouse or condo of that size is $1.5M. Your typical house payment is going to be much higher than $1500/month. Rents are probably in the $3K+ range -- I don't actually have data on this. Lots of factors there. I don't think zoning is one of them as there is constantly land assemblies and razing blocks of houses for town houses and condos. I suspect it's more geography: we're up against and ocean, a border and a mountain range.
See my comment above. Additional sets are irrelevant if you have to lower the weights to a fraction of what you'd otherwise lift in order to maintain short rest intervals. You physically can't repeat your first set performance on 30 seconds rest.
On the other other hand, Windows 3.1 has some upsides. Running Windows 3.1 is an experience, plus it's on DOS, and having a Windows 3.1 install on your laptop is cool/makes good art/conversations pieces. Vinyl would be interesting to listen to once or twice to show off to your friends, but it'd be more like something you'd set up once to see how it used to be done, then you'd go back to an iPod. Windows 3.1 is an experience, vinyl is a novelty.

I attended a "Redesigning Blogger" workshop in 2004, when Jeff Veen at Adaptive Path and Douglas Bowman (of stopdesign.com, now with Twitter) talked about their experiences redesigning Blogger.

One of the things they found in user testing was that when new users clicked "Create my Blog" on the last step of the setup process, they were confused at how quickly their blog was created. "That's it? Is something wrong?" were the types of things people said.

So they added an interstitial "Creating your blog..." type page that did nothing but spin a little animated gif and wait a few seconds before sending new users to the "Yay, your blog is created! page". Users were far more satisfied with the new experience that took longer.

But the problem is that you can't summarize a legal document like this if you want to make complete sense of it. Every sentence has to be evaluated on its own merit.

Every patent I've read (IANAL, but I have read a number of patents over a couple of years of helping our lawyers challenge the USPTO) requires very careful reading to understand and evaluate all the claims.
I wish I had. It was a rental property and I had driven an hour to meet him there :-(
FWIW - the feds restructured how ethnicity is defined for the 2010 census. Now if you have multiple ethnicities you are reported as such - before it was only what you considered your primary race. This will balloon diversity figures in formerly non-diverse areas. I expect to see many media-filler articles such as this once the full census report is published.

There's some additional depth to how the Hispanic grouping is classified. Essentially if you self report any Hispanic lineage you are considered a primarily Hispanic individual.
That shouldn't stop anyone from installing it and making sure they reach the maximum of 1 million dollars.
Ha! Google-Fu master.
I found this article fascinating, as it disagrees so completely with my experience. The best lawyers I know are unfailingly courteous.

My take is that this was written from a perspective where there has never been anything really significant at stake to make a legal claim about. Small claims are usually personal; negotiating a $MM settlement is usually not.
Maybe this is Amazon's way to tell Reddit addicts to stop and smell the flowers? :-)
I deploy satellite-comm GPS tracking equipment on machinery in the ski industry.

What I don't get is why airlines insist on bundling emergency telematics along with position tracking. It massively complicates what otherwise is a pretty simple problem. It feels like that description of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle out of the Pentagon Wars movie.

With a box the size of a Big Mac, at <$1k per unit and about $100/month in data costs, you could deploy an off-the-shelf industrial grade tracking unit that would transmit location/speed/altitude every 10 seconds whenever the unit is powered. All it would need would be a power supply. This would neatly solve the "where the heck is the plane" problem, globally, for a fairly trivial cost.

I realize that finding a spot on the plane to mount it, verifying aerodynamics, figuring out how to wire it in, testing, doing the work across a fleet and managing all that data all end up costing a lot more than the equipment, but given the costs being quoted for some solutions in the articles that have been coming up, it really seems like the airlines could have a big PR win by paying for it with petty cash out of their marketing/advertising budget.

i for one vote to a base 10 system that takes all that into account.

imagine splitting time not exactly in seasons begin/end (what was the last time you synched your clocks with a solstice?). no leap seconds. no 28-31 months. no 365+-1 years. even daylight saving time benefits can be worked in the system if we don't sync 100% with the solar day but skew it just enough that you get the drift to align things on daylight saving benefits and still can tell the time by simply looking at the sun.

it's not hard. just nobody has the balls to even suggest this seriously out of math circles.

Not directly. But the field emanating from your phone will induce a current in the wiring of the plane if it isn't properly shielded to account for that. So even if there is no physical connection there could still be a resulting interruption in communications. All it takes is a crappy or un-intended ground point somewhere along the signal path or at either end.

One way in which I would stress test new electronics designs for resistance to such interference was to stick a mobile phone on top of it and then call that number. Worked like a charm most of the times: instant crash.
I wasn't talking about the biases that affect a team's response to a given bug but, rather, the ability merely to know whether a given release has more bugs or fewer bugs than others, and the biases that can effect this count.

> In my experience, you get a bug report for every hundred or thousand affected users, if that; so excuse me for not having much faith in such statistics.

But the number of reports should still be roughly proportional to the number of bugs in the wild, shouldn't they? That's all that is necessary to compare one release to another, particularly if all you're looking for is significant quality degradation, on the scale discussed in the article. And is it really your position that these statistics are worse than a few users' anecdotal views about which release is better?
The fun thing is how you can "date" this great essay to pre-2000 since it includes ";-)" instead of the more modern ";)", has anyone ever looked at the development of the use of emoticons over time?
