shame on you for putting that clickbait title, for a split second I actually thought that google's algorithm was broken

Would love to chat with you to see if a switch to GCP might solve your performance and pricing issues. It's also always interesting to see how GCP vs AWS vs bare metal fairs.

email me at bookman@google.com and I'll be sure to get you in contact with the right people at google.
I would argue "not attempting to solve the problem" would be better than that solution? (Thankfully, I really doubt any major search engine actually does that.) As you even seem to get: maximizing clicks is relatively easy and websites often only care about the landing, so there is not just a bad optimization in a search engine doing this but it leads to a horrific incentivize to build more useless webpages people click on and then leave. It is also worth nothing that in addition to that model falling prey to clickbait topping all the search results, it also penalizes results whose snippet contains the answer (which is the best possible search result from the perspective of a search engine being useful to a searcher).

Apple once noted that sorting iOS apps by number and speed of installs was a big problem because it encouraged apps that looked and sounded too good to be true but often were horrible to use, so a while back they switched to a model of "how long do users leave this app installed on their devices" or something like similar (it might have been an "engagement" model, which has the much less bad but still existent well-known flaw of "it encourages people to make their app a little slower and require a few more steps to slightly increase the metrics of how long people use it").
Maybe the author's main issue is not with the search result itself but with the auto-complete suggestion.

I think that the search result is fine because obviously if someone queried that entire phrase, it means that they are looking for a counter-argument to the mainstream consensus (which I think is fine - People should be allowed to explore alternative theories... Even if there is a chance that the information is false).

I think that the main problem is that Google is going one step further and suggesting this query when you start typing "Did the" - And by doing so, Google is giving the topic more exposure (and more credibility) than it deserves.
Memorization and definitions go hand in hand. After all, you need a certain amount of memory to understand that epi means 'upon' or that mono means 'alone'. If I retain that, is it my understanding, or my memory?

That leads me to my next point, which is Anki is best used when you do what's called rote-memorization, but memorize simpler aspects -- so have one card that asks what does 'upon' mean in Greek, and another asking what 'mono' means in Greek - in addition to making more general questions regarding this subject.
While traded on the Amsterdam stock exchange, the domicile of the fund is still Ireland.[1]

Anyway, since you're in Europe, curious why you chose this fund (S&P 500) over something with more exposure outside the US?

I have built out a few racks of Supermicro twins. In general I would suggest hiring your ops people first and then letting them buy what they are comfortable with.

C2: The Dell equivalent is C6320.

CPU: Calculate the price/performance of the server, not the processor alone. This may lead you towards fewer nodes with 14-core or 18-core CPUs.

Disk: I would use 2.5" PMR (there is a different chassis that gives 6x2.5" per node) to get more spindles/TB, but it is more expensive.

Memory: A different server (e.g. FC630) would give you 24 slots instead of 16. 24x32GB is 768GB and still affordable.

Network: I would not use 10GBase-T since it's designed for desktop use. I suggest ideally 25G SFP28 (AOC-MH25G-m2S2TM) but 10G SFP+ (AOC-MTG-i4S) is OK. The speed and type of the switch needs to match the NIC (you linked to an SFP+ switch that isn't compatible with your proposed 10GBase-T NICs).

N1: A pair of 128-port switches (e.g. SSE-C3632S or SN2700) is going to be better than three 48-port. Cumulus is a good choice if you are more familiar with Linux than Cisco. Be sure to buy the Cumulus training if your people aren't already trained.

N2: MLAG sucks, but the alternatives are probably worse.

N4: No one agrees on what SDN is, so... mu.

N5: SSE-G3648B if you want to stick with Supermicro. The Arctica 4804IP-RMP is probably cheaper.

Hosting: This rack is a great ball of fire. Verify that the data center can handle the power and heat density you are proposing.
Yes please, learning react and modern JS (coming from a simple jQuery background) has been hellish.
Almost certainly worse. As it stands, SEOs fear Google and the webspam team like they're the Wizard of Oz. You have a strong incentive to follow the letter and the spirit of the webmaster guidelines, because you don't know exactly what's going on behind the curtain. Once you start bending the rules, you're living in fear of being banned.

If the algorithm was completely transparent, it would give a home-field advantage to spammy SEOs, who could operate at the absolute limit of what is permissible. Legitimate sites that lack the resources to aggressively manipulate their SEO would be at a substantial disadvantage.

To give a real-world analogy, imagine a department store that decides not to prosecute shoplifters caught with less than $20 worth of stolen goods. If the rule is kept secret, then it's a perfectly reasonable tradeoff between security and the cost of enforcement. If the rule is publicly known, then shoplifters can spend all day stealing $19.99 products with total impunity.
Great points. We'll make sure to wire to separate power feeds that can both handle the entire load. Suggestions in how to calculate this? Taking the maximum rated load seems over the top.
Mindfulness meditation as described by Jon Kabat-Zinn might be helpful to you. I would describe it as learning to become more aware of yourself, including becoming more aware of your own thinking.

Most of us, even if we know that we have filler time (I call it autopilot), aren't aware of how often it occurs.

Be careful though, some of that filler time is a necessary part of memory consolidation and baking in new things we have learned. Eliminating it entirely would probably be counterproductive.

Just my speculation of course.
I don't want his prediction happen, unless we have WebAssembly.
That's just moving the data around. CPUs can't do any meaningful (like AI training) data processing at these speeds, as far as I know. GPUs probably can do something simple at these speeds, but I doubt AI training can be done even at 320GB/s on a single GPU.
Seconded. I'm currently muddling through a universal Javaript React starter kit and wiuld love a comprehensive guide
That's surprising, given that I virtually never see any ads with uBlock Origin. Maybe you didn't have enough filter lists enabled?
There's a FAQ here: http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/node/1838/
You're in luck: you can run Windows 95 in your browser, and then launch IE in that! https://win95.ajf.me/win95.html
in my mind you're not making it better, you're just making a different tradeoff between openness and discoverability of high-quality content.

my point is that you should maintain openness while making it easier to discover good content.
Depends massively on what the software is doing, there is still no standardisation on what a self-driving car means.

Nvidia is pushing PX2 but I have a feeling they are too expensive for most cars - don't know the exact price but "a few thousand dollars" was quoted for the Teslas that use them. Some specs - http://wccftech.com/nvidia-drive-px2-pascal-gtc-2016/

At the same time Qualcomm is pushing their much less performant chips for self-driving cars, but at a much lower price point (hundreds of dollars)
bing has the stormfront link at the bottom of the first page, and the Wikipedia holocaust denial page at the top (with a special Wikipedia nav bar that tends to make it look more visually prominent). It has fairly different results overall, though they do contain a couple of denialist links and suggest a "10 Reasons The Holocaust Never Happened" 'related search'.

it's interesting to think about why, possibilities that come to mind are

1. bing's system just naturally doesn't favor the stormfront link as much?

2. there's a deliberate effort on the part of microsoft/bing to specifically suppress stormfront or some class of sites it's in?

3. stormfront is at the top of the google results due to a deliberate effort by some group to game this and they just haven't put the effort into gaming bing?
Puma is something we want to eventually run, but right now it's not really a priority. Instead we're focusing on response timings and memory usage. See the following links for more information:

This. There's a point even in academic fields where you find a particular community divided by subjectivity (strings vs. quantum gravity). I think the scientific attitude of "remaining skeptical" has served us pretty well in the past. But when it comes to emotional stuff, people just have a really hard time.
By Tiering, I'm talking about moving blocks of data from slower to faster or visa verse. If I have 10TB of 10k IOPS storage and 100TB of 1k IOPS storage in a tiered setup, data that is frequently accessed would reside in the 10k IOPS tier while less frequently accessed data would be in the 1k tier. In this case, the blocks of popular repositories would be stored in SSD, while the blocks of your side project that you haven't touched in 4 years would be on the HDD. You still have access to it, it might just take a bit longer to clone.

Ceph can probably explain it better than I can. http://docs.ceph.com/docs/jewel/rados/operations/cache-tieri...
Unlikely. We hear endlessly about how you can't change a person. Then when we assert "This person is unlikely to change substantially over their lifetime" then that gets shot down? I call foul.
Use Anki to memorize that gosh-darn block syntax. It's like the lord's prayer for me, used it 1000 times yet can't recall it for the life of me.
I'm a bit confused to why leveraging up companies this badly, without commercial need, isn't a violation of fiduciary duty of company leadership. I'm pretty sure that it'd be in several countries, e.g. Germany. You might not get into trouble without a bankruptcy, but there were one, you'd likely be personally liable to some degree.

EDIT: grammar
People need to be taught how to use the internet. There are too many noobs that just gobble up whatever they want to hear. It's already a lot safer to say "if your opinion doesn't match with what's on wikipedia, you are probably wrong"
oh, so you do this primarily in the city? interesting ... thank you for sharing your experience :)
I used handmade cards and it made all the difference. A good foundation was necesarry for me to make things click.
I tried anki later on, but it was too cumbersome to create and work with digital cards for me.
> I purposely set expectations low by saying it may take a little sanding. That lets me over-deliver since it's usually a perfect fit.

Wow. This is genius. You should write a click-baity blog post titled "This Weird Trick will always get your products 5-star ratings"
That's the misunderstanding pervading this article. There is no gaming of the system. The article provided absolutely no evidence that any gaming was occurring.

Algorithms like PageRank are indiscriminate and if the Atl-right network of sites is as big as the author claims then it should be pretty obvious why those results appear.

Right or wrong, good or bad, there isn't any foul play or exploitation occurring. These sites are playing by the rules Google established.

I think the problem is that groups that would challenge the Atl-right could do so using their own network of sites but instead want to just change the rules to shut them down instead.
Why go with 3.5' disks? You usually want 2.5' and you can fit 24 ones in 2HE. I recommend those using a supermicro cabinet. 2 cache SSDs and 20 SAS disks (+ 2 spares) in combination with a raid controller will give you very much quite fast storage at a sweet price spot.
inferior performance because of lack of performant DL libraries, like CuDNN, not because of the hardware itself
You noticed his crypto involvement - as the original CTO of PayPal he was known for his anti-fraud measures.
Could this be partly atteibuted to the shuttering and lack of resiucres directed to libraries? This is where I learned how to research and discern legitimate sources.
I don't find it sensible, because that requires exposing myself to tracking scripts. Tracking scripts are unacceptable to me under any context.
There are some encouraging trends, but the progress they've made to date is still very small compared to the size of the problem.

Perhaps the most encouraging trend is the exponential growth of the photovoltaic solar panel industry. If that continues, it will certainly be a huge help. But you have to weigh that against the fact that there are still a couple of billion people with no access to power at all. All together, world carbon emissions are not likely to fall anytime soon.
Isn't some of the advantage coming from the fact that gpus are much better designed for massively parallel computations?
True that. I was like this for a good number of years, and it's only been recently that I've started using credit for a few things.
Regarding D2: If you're going to go with bcache, make sure you're using a kernel >= 4.5, since that's when a bunch of stability patches landed (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/5/38). Alternatively, if you're building your own kernel, you should be able to apply those patches yourself.
I did some experiments here: http://experiments.oskarth.com/srspractice/

A key thing is to differentiate between learning from scratch and retaining knowledge/a skill.
The "free" (did you actually mean unregulated? because that's not the same as free) market has a poor track record of checking monopolies.
Does this mean we finally can ditch JavaScript and use bash when we code our web apps? (Only joking a little bit, actually curious about the answer.)
It is basically equivalent to `LoginForm = this.LoginForm`. It is called destructuring and is one of the nice conveniences of es6 javascript. Importantly you can also do this:

var o = {p: 42, q: true};
var {p, q} = o;

console.log(p); // 42
console.log(q); // true
I don't know if there is a standard way to do it, bit that's the arrangement we have with almost all our clients. There are clauses about basically not taking IP, just reusable code for our own purposes. Clients with existing codebases are harder to sell but new projects almost never mind. You can tell the client this significantly benefits them because then they might also get "free" code from our other clients. It's like a microcosm of open source.
FYI, the linked "dollardialup dot com" at the bottom is expired.
Wow Wes, these are all awesome suggestions. All of them (CPU, disk, memory, network, hosting) are things we'll consider doing. I added the Dell server with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/34bd78d8...

Would you mind if we contact you to discuss?
I would argue that relying on SOP isolation is more reliable than attempting to patch over the ads running in the same page context in the first place.

The threat model changes quite a bit if we assume the attacker has a SOP exploit.
Oh, this a million times. In fact I have a huge pile of cash waiting for someone to fix this.

Right now I'm only pulling from a couple of different RETS services but already it's hellish. Regular short term schema changes, terrible lag in pulling data (10+ minutes to pull 30 listings!), low API limits (cut off for pulling image URL's too fast but they won't give a limit - just saying "if we feel it's too much", so pulling images lags for hours as I have to be extra careful. Also no option to pay extra to speed up). That's before you get to matching up fields across multiple MLS's or dealing with weird crossover effects (MLS X cannot be shown in Y from RETS #1 - buts that fine in RETS #2).

In fact, I will give you all my money right now anyway, I'm going to go live in the hills far away from it all.
For Elm, there's elmx https://github.com/pzavolinsky/elmx
My point stands m.m.
I can see that. I just wasn't sure, because every time a React debate gets kicked off, I inevitably see the "doesn't support if-else" thing get brought up, and having finally worked through a MWE with it, wasn't sure if it was just the (somewhat) convoluted syntax or whether I was missing something bigger.
It seems they have Ceph experience, considering they've made work on AWS.
I suppose the op of the story is saying that the company Yik Yak IS its employees, which, especially for a small company, is pretty true. Isn't a company just === people that work for it?
Yes and this is a tired argument by now. The talk by Pete Hunt aptly titled "React: Rethinking best practices"[0] given in 2013 points out how separating templates and logic is merely a separation of technologies, not concerns.

> (Standard disclaimer: max out your 401(k)/IRA contributions, first.)

Minor quibble. Your 401k plan almost always has more fees than index funds at someplace like Vanguard.

1. Contribute to your 401k to get your entire company match.

2. Then max out an IRA, a Roth IRA, or a combination of the two based on your income level.

3. Only then continue to max out your 401k.

Ok, well then I just didn't know about it then. And for that matter, Apple Support didn't tell me about it when I called them asking for solutions to the issue years ago.

What I liked about HN was that it wasn't Reddit. You feel good because you can downvote me? Hooray, downvotes really add to the conversation.

Not much point in talking with someone who thinks I'm lying. And I don't give a shit about internet points, so keep downvoting me.
I wonder if they could go with a hosting provider, hire a sysadmin, then second them to the hosting provider to learn how it's done, in return for a credit against their costs.

In fact, i wonder if that's a business model for hosting providers. Kind of a sysadmin incubator.
OK, I prefer reasonable ad-supported to subscription.
Process here. Not trivial but not insurmountable.

I don't remember much of it. I think it's because the PAO system was too complex. I can remember some of the images, but I can't remember what they stood for. I have been able to recall some abstract things (like where other pathways like glycogen storage intersect with glycolysis). What have you used loci for? I was thinking I might have better luck using loci for pharm stuff. But Sketchy Pharm exists, so why spend all that time when they'll create scenes for me?
They'd save themselves a whole lot of time, effort, and money if they looked at partitioning their data storage instead of plowing ahead with Ceph. They have customers with individual repositories. There is no need to have one massive filesystem / blast radius.
Yeah, VC needs function multiversoning like everyone else. Sadly, it doesn't help if you want to do something like have templated c++ functions
~$2k/mo from an informational hobby-related website I run and monetize with affiliate sales. Growing, too!
No, it's not. You have to apply the data to the evolving network. Can you really do it at 320GB/s?
But paywalls are a working business model. Your dislike of them is understandable, but if that's what it takes, then that's what it takes.

As for reading diverse sources - well, how many people subscribed to 10+ newspapers at once, in the heyday of paper? And why should it be any different in the age of the Internet, if the amount of human labor required to make one newspaper (or equivalent) remains the same?

That said, I do think that the current subscription models are also broken (which is also why they're unpopular). What we really need is a seamless micro-transaction protocol, so that I could pay, say, 5c to view one article that I'm interested in. And the browser should provide a consistent UX for the website to request payment, and for me to approve it or not; and also to clearly distinguish links to paywalled resources.
Not if you want to manipulate the DOM or use many of the browser APIs, AFAICT.
Exactly. I looked in to charging via their phone bill but couldn't find an API.
The glorification of stress in start-ups is an interesting thing. I've always wonder if it's because it's a mental thing. If an industry glorified their employees physically harming themselves, it'd be horrific.

It took me a while to learn, but working hard doesn't equate to being stressed, and being stressed is more than likely to result in mediocre results.
can you compare this with memory palace and other, alternative techniques, such as using the information to be learned actively and immediately?
This is exactly what I was thinking, the most advanced LaTeX typesetter is probably mathjax, but it can't and probably won't [1] handle full LaTeX.
Just consider this pretty simple LaTeX,

\begin{align}
x &= 2^2
\intertext{so we can simplify}
&= 4
\end{align}

With a little bit of fanciness (sourcing the .sty sheets) behind the scenes, this could faithfully reproduce LaTeX.

The book "Masters of Doom" (https://www.amazon.com/Masters-Doom-Created-Transformed-Cult...) covers a lot of the early days of id Software and is a great read, both from historical and motivational angle.
The high end Intel CPUs like Xeon Phis that have enough compute muscle to get anywhere near NVidia GPU perf for deep learning are far too expensive to be able to replace them
Yes, there is no substitute for developing intuition by doing exercises.
I agree to the extent that once understood, things need (presumably!) to then be remembered.

I suppose people's methods differ, but personally I don't think I could have an effective memory without understanding, and that my memory follows understanding.

By "effective memory", I mean that I could actually apply some definition, not merely remember the pattern of notation on the page. I fancy if I learnt it from a flash card I'd struggle when variables were named differently, or with the slightest variation in form.
OTOH, if it's worked fine for ten years, the risk of headaches seems lower than anything else.

And for any given static site generator, there's a pretty high risk it will be more or less unmaintained two years from now...
