Either could be just as true, and you can't always tell which SEO company will be unscrupulous. They are masters of the spin, after all. I have resolved to never use the services of an SEO company. Having both been burnt and worked in the industry itself, I would rather not work on a project that relies on "SEO" for important revenue at all. As noted above, it is a fickle and ultimately brittle way to prop a business up.

Does Google actually punish sites for buying spam SEO, or is this speculation without evidence? They don't publish page rank scores anymore, so how can one know? How does one determine their site is "punished"?

I have seen the consequences of paying for SEO. They spam your site URL on random web forums. If you pay for SEO, you are very likely paying people to use bots and sweatshops to spam your site url via low quality garbage links dumped on Twitter, on web site hosts, in comment sections and forums. A lot of this traffic originates from criminal botnets. Seriously, don't do it.

As an example I just pulled out of our filter, here's what you're really paying for when you pay for SEO: https://twitter.com/karenhall191

Unfortunately, as a web hosting provider (neocities.org), I have to deal with some of the fallout from this. Google's business model creates this problem, but they provide little support and few tools to help us deal with it (reporting API please?), and we're largely forced to go it alone.
In a sufficiently large random image, you'll (probably) find as detailed of a picture of a rabbit as you like.

The question is about how often image recognition (either human or algorithmic) picks up a signal in random noise -- that is, how often we see things that aren't there (or if you prefer, are there, but by chance). Of course you can find anything, the question is with what frequency.

If you've ever spent much time looking at random patterns, you'd know that we're prone to seeing things that aren't there in noise. Modeling that phenomenon is interesting (at least to me).
Nice KiCAD tutorial.

"Once you receive your PCBs, you can simply use some solder paste and a hot air rework station to put everything together!" Right. Soldering SMT parts is not easy and takes practice. You need to practice on junk or practice boards (there are $3 kits for this) to get the technique.

Here's somebody who's good at it doing it.[1]

I sometimes do this stuff, but the magnifier and tweezers thing is hard work.

The pros all use lead-free solder now, but most hobbyists are still using leaded solder, which is much more tolerant of temperature variations.

The main point of the Stern-Gerlach experiment was that the electrons hitting the screen were forming two distinct dots instead of a long spread out line, therefore proving that the angular momentum is quantised. In your example you will instead have simply a spread-out distribution because there is no quantisation of the angular momentum of your droplets.

The pilot wave usually refers to the spatial degrees of freedom, especially in these classical mock-ups with balls on top of waves. They do not properly addressed internal degrees of freedom like spin.

Unrelated to those macroscopic mock-ups, pilot wave theory actually has serious problems with the description of anything that is not a spatial degree of freedom.

You can still use pilot wave theory to describe the quantum behavior of the coordinates of a particle. But even then, the classical mock-ups we are discussing will not show anything inherently quantum - it will simply produce some interference patterns, that can be explained classically.

P.S. side note: An important part in the Stern-Gerlach experiment was that the magnetic field was not homogeneous, because it is the gradient of the field, not the field itself that causes the electrons to move.

This is a nice feature. The downsides compared to Vimperator/Pentadactyl is that you can tab-complete the search term and you can't get search suggestions as you type (or at least I haven't gotten either of these things to work).
I started the EdX MicroMasters in International Law last week and it's very interesting. I'm getting an inkling of what legal reasoning feels like from the inside. So far, it seems like really, really careful reading and reasoning. In preparation for the course I was reading a textbook on the same but the readings and video transcripts are as good on the topics they cover, though less exhaustive. It's given me a very slightly less Realist take on International Relations for one.
Totally, with video it felt as though my laptop was about to take off for low-orbit. Again, this is a beta (at least I assume so). I am looking forward to legitimate benchmarks.
I’ve got a Norco (CityGlide) with the SRAM 2-sped automatic on it. It’s pretty good. The shift is more based on the torque applied than the speed you’re going at; coasting and then using light torque will shift back to first gear pretty quickly.

Aside from the belt drive, this looks pretty close to the CityGlide that I have, and at a similar price (on sale). (The CityGlide lists around CA$799, and I got mine at a bike show for CA$450; I’ve spent more since then, including getting fenders.) If I didn’t already have a two-speed automatic, I’d probably look at this seriously.

I also have a Dahon (Speed P8) that I use in the winter, although I might be using the Norco a bit this winter. When I replace the Dahon, I’m strongly considering a Montague full-sized folding bike.

Predictive Analytics: How AI Can Run Future Market Growth
I see. How does one then approach the topic of compensation, and determine if the two parties at at least in the same ballpark?

Do you postpone comp-talk until an offer is on the table? Or is it safe to assume that large companies generally have an extremely elastic range?

Do you think it's a good idea say something like "If you can offer $OBVIOUSLY_EXTREMELY_HIGH, i will immediately accept. For lesser offers, i will evaluate them on a case by case basis."
Youre burned out and depressed. Take a break and think about what you really want. Youre still very young. If youre doing something for >8hr a day that in itself can lead to burnout. Motivation comes naturally...you cant force it.

I'm not sure if we see a return of the MOOC or just growth in various alternative formats, because the term MOOC actually has a very specific meaning which is not always reached by the services/companies mentioned in the article.

I would for example consider Pluralsight to be just "Online Courses", and the price tag on Udacity's nanodegrees makes me wonder whether we can consider them to be truly open (I attended university in The Netherlands where the cost of tuition for a year is lower than the cost of doing a $200/month nanodegree at Udacity for one year).

>Don't rely on input validation. Maybe you missed something. Maybe someone
calls your function somewhere else where you didn't originally intend it.
Maybe someone makes the input validation less restrictive for some reason.
Point is, it's not an excuse to cause a security hole just because input
wasn't what you expected it to be.

This point makes me mad because we have both ways to statically verify that calling conditions are "correct" through the right kind of design, and it should be a zero-cost abstraction but you can't do it in C.

Plus this advice is messy when it comes to things like string escaping. This could easily lead to issues like double encoding. Issues that don't exist if you could set up "proper" type checking in C without having to use things like wrapper structs that incur performance penalties.

Defensive programming is always a bit weird because it always feels un-necessary, but in C it's really necessary because you have so few assurances. Pretty scary

I wonder if there's a tool out there that lets you use Rust-style linear types over C code, and other things that would make some of this advice redundant (because the CI server would check the code). You could still write C, but wrong C would error in the checking step.
When I was little, my mom was given that advice by my pediatrician to break my picking eating habit. While it can be effective, I'd caution you to dig into the source of the pickiness before trying it. In my case, it was a texture thing and certain foods would trigger my gag reflex. But I was too young to articulate that. Resulting in a standoff over every meal, a generally antagonistic and anxiety-ridden relationship with food and mealtimes, and an aversion to social events that included food. It also made me less adventurous with trying or asking for new foods, because of the pressure previously instilled in me to finish it.

With my daughter, I take a much more collaborative approach to her pickiness. She's not allowed to tell me she doesn't like something (or refuse to eat it) until she's had at least one bite. If she doesn't like it then, she doesn't have to finish it but she has to describe to me why she doesn't like it. I've had enormous success with this, as it not only develops her ability to articulate what her preferences are, it provides me constructive feedback on how to prepare and serve that food next time (and foods with the same negative trait). It's amazing how a slight change to the seasoning or preparation can resolve a lot of pickiness. And now that she understands that, she no longer categorically writes off entire ingredients or dishes, since she knows it could taste totally different and be delicious the next time she tries it.

I also couple that with dynamic portion sizing. If she's not finishing her vegetables, and they're prepared in a way where I know she's fine eating them and is just avoiding them, then I start gradually reducing the portion size of her favorite foods on the plate. She can't get seconds of anything until she finishes everything on her plate, so she can either finish her vegetables to unlock more chicken or she can decide more chicken isn't worth the veggies. Her choice. Over time this has desensitized her to eating things she's not particularly fond of and it's not nearly as big of an issue as it used to be.

I could go on, but my soap box is getting kind of long. Feel free to email me (email in profile) if you'd like to chat more about strategies that might work for your picky eaters. :)

Interesting. I use Incognito mode pretty extensively nowadays (pretty much whenever I google anything silly that I don't want google to remember me having searched for it, like needing to buy random items online that I'm not regularly interested in, etc.), and I actually want my adblocker to be active even in Incognito. (I enable simpleBlock on Incognito for this reason)
I get the sense that the charging stations are being used by people who would charge at home, but instead drive to Menlo Park to save the $10-$20 in electricity. I could be wrong, though.

"You speak as if salaries in Montreal would reach the highest tax bracket."

Ha ha - you nailed it.

I believe the 'extra 10%' kicks in at only 85K CDN. Which is not that much. It's like 65K USD. A pittance.

This has to be one hugely odd thing about Montreal - especially with exchange rates, salaries are so low.

You might think that's a good thing, but really, it's not because talent will leave.

On the other hand, if you have something good going, you can get good talent cheap, and perhaps pay them above market rates.

Even though the cost of living is commensurate - it's hard for young people to factor that in. They see $150K salary in the US and glaze over it.
Keeping just the free trade stuff is disintegrating the EU.
It's not just Americans - it's the English and really Canadians as well.

How to Reduce the Size of Your iPhone App
@Soared, aside from the self-marketing of your firm how about you put your money where your mouth is. Let's use the same landing page - I'll make a campaign, you make a campaign, we each spend $500 and we track conversions in a specific period of time.

The one who converts more for less will owe the other $1000 - we can make the accounts public so that (1) the world can see your "expertise" and (2) how "confused" I am. Game?

I am willsALMANJ. The Pentadactyl devs never responded to repeated attempts to engage them on the continued distribution of the addon. I could have posted it to addons.mozilla.org, but it didn't feel right to package their work unchanged when they had an official account and could have done it themselves if they wanted to. I made the GitHub repo partly so that my own browsers would get the compatibility updates and partly to help out others who wanted to keep using Pentadactyl. I like keeping the working xpi available for those who want it but I don't think it is worth promoting Pentadactyl any more because it is only a matter of time before Firefox changes too much for it to keep working.
The Hidden Srengths of Unloved Concrete
I'm a native of San Francisco, a lifelong resident. But I'm also a millennial raised with both a conservative concern for the long term and an optimism for the future via science. And the big story is that the suburbs are unsustainable in every way.

Preserving neighborhood character feels nice, but life is change. Preventing old houses from being torn down does not prevent old residents from leaving. You want preservation, then you better be prepared to pay for it. But the middle class suburbs, all those miles of pipes and miles of roads and miles of wires, are fundamentally insolvent. Even before you consider Proposition 13.

"but I believe that somebody got in a great deal of trouble over the majority of that."

1M is a pretty big ad-spend for even a medium sized company. If it was a total failure than the leadership had absolutely no clue what was going on. The CEO is to blame.

If you're trying to get 'customer acquisition' then there's no reason that ads could not have been tested - you should have been able to resolve the unknown one for under $50K.

Granted - every situation is different and I understand it's not always so clean - but still - 1M is a lot especially if it affected the company. Sounds really bad.
Roobaroo App Your Local Friends in Every City – EngineerBabu
A valid question.

So I've never done any "SEO" work on the site outside of Google's own recommendations with regard to site content, ease of use, etc.

In other words no link building, keyword stuffed pages, etc.

I'm still in the dark all these years later, but my best guess is:

a. I had a blog and forum that, like most of that time (2012's), has occasional spam posts.

b. Those posts would often, but not always, be referenced by the spam links pointing to my site.

c. I had very high rank in Google for several years leading up to the penalty.

Because of this I don't think it was a necessarily a competitor, but rather spammers trying to leech off of that high ranking.
> These things are not unrelated :) If you accept that there is only the wave function as in the bare formalism, either an infinity of worlds or zero worlds, like in QIT, are the logical outcomes.

Yep.

Well, OK, but then the burden is on them to come up with something better. QM is one of the most thoroughly tested scientific theories of all time. If you want to call yourself a scientist you can't legitimately reject it just because it doesn't make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I have followed the situation fairly closely, and I agree with your assessment. I haven't seen anything that makes me think either Pentadactyl or Vimperator will survive the deprecation of XUL. The most promising vim-like addon is VimFx (followed by the Chrome addons like Vimium and cVim which maybe will work in Firefox one day as WebExtensions -- I try on Nightly every couple months but they don't work so far). The reason I say this is that it has active development and developers committed to the WebExtensions transition (plus has less features so it is easier to port). You can follow the progress here:
