Google should rank by relevance. That is their goal. Whether or not truth is more relevant than lies depends on the context.

In the context of news truth is more relevant than lies, because news is an account of recent events, not fiction.

So if I go to Google News and it displays fiction as if it was news then something has clearly gone wrong, and I don't think Google denies that for a second.

>" A more recent one is OJ Simpson jailed for some break-and-entering bullshit because everyone wants to punish him for those famous murders."

I'm sorry "breaking and entering bullshit"?

The crime was armed robbery and kidnapping. And it was OJ Simpson who said that nobody could leave the room which brought up the kidnapping charge. All of this actually happened. Nobody disputes these claims. Nothing to do with breaking and entering but much more serious crimes.[1]

If a family member of yours was robbed in their hotel room at gun point would it still be "bullshit"?

You can actually reuse a running instance and create a new context with this: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Targe.... Issue is that most libraries don't have an API for this (not sure why), and that long-running Chrome instances can get to a quirky state + other issues. Certain parameters require you start Chrome with the right flags, so reusing a running Chrome process doesn't always work.

Depending on the age of your kids, I suggest total YouTube curation. I've only got up to a nine-year-old but I'm thinking it's going to have to go up to at least 13 or 14 before I can have a serious discussion about just what is out there and how people are trying to manipulate them.

Five years ago that would have been more to avoid them from stumbling across the various types of adult content that for various reasons I would have preferred them not to view, and perhaps the HN zeitgeist would have called me a puritan (although I'm not just thinking sex and violence here, but also things like conspiracy theories and politics they are currently incapable of processing and other things [1]). Now, unfortunately, it's more about avoiding the brain hackers that you describe that know how to hack their brains into getting low-level addicted to that sort of garbage, and now perhaps the HN zeitgeist will be less offended at my policy that a poor defenseless six-year-old or nine-year-old in my case can't be expected to defend themselves against this level of sophistication.

(Because however stupid those videos may strike you as an adult, they are sophisticated, in their own way. The "cartoons that were just toy commercials" of my youth were nothing compared to what modern kids are being targeted by.)

The good news is that we're actually finding some channels where we have some common ground. For instance, they're really digging Homestar Runner now, and I've got some others that I can pick and choose from that we all like.

I increasingly pity the "digital natives" that didn't get to ease themselves into this world like I did. I'm not saying they're hopelessly lost; today's article about kids rebelling against social media is heartening. I'm just saying, I had a much easier on-ramp than they did. My first few years worth of youthful indiscretions are now utterly obliterated, because the dial-in BBS they were on is now long gone. I wasn't fucking up on Facebook or where the Internet Archive could find me. By the time I got on to the real internet, oh, I'm sure I could find things that would make me cringe now, but I'm pretty confident I wasn't blowing my foot off anymore.

[1]: Oh, and I'm pleased to say that they both seem to be on track to be voracious book readers, which I think is the strongest Step One to being able to deal with the onslaught they will eventually face. My strategy here is not just mere "denial of access", as I am well aware that doesn't work into their adulthood, and my goal is to raise good adults, not good children. I'm still feeling through what my strategy is, on what is shifting sand anyhow, but there's more to it than just "shield them forever."
Too little, too late for Oracle I think. No matter how good the product is, it won't be a first class supported thing at AWS, Azure, or Google's cloud.

Eventually, that will drain off their customer base. If whatever the big 3 cloud providers are selling as a database is "good enough", then "better" won't be enough to keep Oracle's current position in the market.

I actually never really thought this was that big of an issue but your link is really interesting and brings up some great points. Hamiltonians I think solve the largest issues but I know from talking to people who learn mechanics that that becomes confusing to because dq/dt they think should be related to momentum simply by p=m*dq/dt but it's a tad more complicated than that because you're talking really about a manifold and fancy geometry talk not commonly know to physicists

Those Japanese vending machines blow my mind. I got lost on takao mountain once and was utterly hopeless of ever finding civilization again. I found abandoned and rotting tractors the forest had taken back, weird half completed concrete structures, the trail was gone, I was well and truly lost. Then, I turn a corner, and find a goddamned vending machine. Powered. With stock.

I followed its power cord back for a solid ten minutes before I found the little building on a trail it led to.

Somebody restocked that vending machine. Somebody installed it.

It's like this throughout Japan. Boggles the mind.
I'm sure that's just a very convenient excuse.

No-one in their right mind would put paragraphs two and three next to one another. The literal interpretation is "Our enemies are working to defeat us, but we're going to completely ignore that".

In practice, I suspect that a policy around 2 is much more likely, but it seems unlikely the money for that will be showing up in NASA's budgets.

I really just meant the "I left Facebook" posts have the same kind of feel as the old "I don't even own a TV" cliché, but yeah, I know what you mean as well, and it's a problem. I wish the YouTube Kids app let you optionally whitelist a set of channels instead of only allowing a blacklist. It's nice that you can block a video or a channel, but there are thousands of low-quality channels.

It does seem like there are a ton of really huge bugs in recent OSX and iOS releases.

How did this thing get through testing without anyone ever typing an em dash?

In my opinion, it's easy to hit cmd because it's the key right next to the spacebar and thus easy to find, not because it's close to the center.

It's easy to hit the bottom-leftmost key because it's also easy to find. And your pinky doesn't need to reach towards the center.

Meanwhile I can't consistently hit the keys between them because there's no real reference position. I'm often off by one, hit between them, and generally have to look at the keyboard.

For that reason I never use the ctrl button on the macbook and instead bind it to capslock. I find that ctrl is at just about the worst place on the keyboard where it currently is on the macbook.

My hands can span the entire keyboard, so "close to the center" isn't an optimization for the same reason that it would probably slow you down if the most commonly used english letters were clustered together in one spot.
The author of this article is focusing only on SETI-based methods of finding extraterrestrial life. The most promising IMO, and one that I don't see talked about much, is the James Webb Telescope's ability to measure contents of the atmospheres of exoplanets. From what I understand O2 is only known to be created by metabolic processes of living organisms.

Also one thing that's curious to me is the math here assumes these millions of civilizations all exist now or have set up systems to broadcast these beams forever whether or not they go extinct. So if we make the following assumptions:

These civilizations only last a couple hundred years after they create these powerful directional radio wave beams (which if we use ourselves as an example seems to be a reasonable assumption)

One civilizations dies and another sequentially starts broadcasting radio waves (most favorable option)

It takes 2 billion years to create life

Galaxy is about 13 billion years old

There's been about 2M advanced civilizations in the Milky Way

That means there's a 3.6% chance there's a civilizations broadcasting right now. This goes up if some last longer than 200 years, and if some create machines that can broadcast either indefinitely or for a long time. Within 1 magnitude of relative certainty is pretty good I guess.

NASA is supporting the privatized space industry, though. Remember that Dragon were/is developed because NASA gave SpaceX a contract for ISS support. Falcon 9 development also got NASA support.
The original op-ed actually addresses this. Sounds like the plan is to get SpaceX, Blue Origin, et al. involved.

I have been aiming for default settings which would render the site as you see it (screenshot style), but so that you can switch the settings to honor @media print CSS rules.

One of the biggest values I think this yet-another-PDF-service has is that if you open the print preview on a desktop Chrome, it should be really close to what the API renders. Should make debugging a bit easier.

The main use case is to render content generated by yourself, e.g. receipts and invoices, but I don't see a reason why it couldn't be used for rendering news or blog articles.

It's very common for sci-fi space forces to be modelled on terrestrial navies (frequently very heavily on Age of Sail / colonial era European navies.)

But especially in the near future, there's not really likely to be a whole lot of functional similarity justifying that.
Give something to your family It is priceless
I know that feeling. When we first moved northward of Tennessee, everybody would tell us about how great this little convenience store was. I, as someone who'd grown up thinking names like Wawa were stupid and dumb, refused to shop there for a long time, despite having to drive past it for somewhere else.

One day, I was in too much of a hurry to skip them and stopped at the unfortunately named convenience store, only to marvel at its wonders. It had coffee, of course, as convenience stores tend to, but it also had a coffee bar, complete with easily poured syrup containers of sugar (if you're into that), and a variety of different creamers in half gallon containers so that I didn't have to fumble with those little creamer packs, readily available stirrers, etc. It was amazing. Of course, convenience store coffee is terrible. It's a rule -- only, this wasn't. I mean, I'm a coffee snob -- I buy my coffee from a micro-roaster who issues the beans just after degassing, and I usually prepare the coffee in either an Aeropress or a pourover system. I had an instant hot-water dispenser installed at the kitchen sink set to exactly 210 degrees... but, despite that snobbery, Wawa somehow managed to eke out a drinkable cup of coffee, and with all the extraneous luxuries they offered, it was nothing short of amazing.

7-11 and other convenience stores have started catching on to the coffee bar aspect of things, but for some reason, Wawa still stands alone in making a drinkable cup for about ~$1.
