I understand it though. Quoted from the old Sources page on DuckDuckGo where they elaborated a bit on more:

> Bing and Google each spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year crawling and indexing the deep Web. It costs so much that even big companies like Yahoo and Ask are giving up general crawling and indexing. Therefore, it seems silly to compete on crawling and, besides, we do not have the money to do so. Instead, we've focused on building a better search engine by concentrating on what we think are long-term value-adds -- having way more instant answers, way less spam, real privacy and a better overall search experience.
ENS is also more geared towards forming professors.
I can confirm Mozilla handles this very poorly. I had the exact same experience with them. It was so bad that I actually just left the extension off their store and now focus on Chrome.

There is nothing dodgy about the extension. Mozilla was just being ridiculous.
Nigerian “Uber for trucks” logistics startup Kobo360 accepted into YC, raises 1m
I don't see it as being that grand, at least not at the moment. I think we are very far from something like May '68 or Soviet revolution. A lot of theory has been dedicated to figuring out why we are in this situation in which there is a completely inactive working class with very little drive behind them; various explanations have been given, though - Marx's critique of ideology, Althusser's explanations of ISAs and RSAs, Debord's of society of the spectacle, the Frankfurt School's concentration on mass culture changing what we define as being rational (and the closing off of the "extremes", for it is no longer "reasonable" to operate outside of the "democratic" system etc.) all the way to newer ideas; I'm reading "Willing Slaves of Capital: Spinoza and Marx on Desire at the moment, which carries the following rather provocative tagline: "Why do people work for other people? This seemingly naïve question is more difficult to answer than one might at first imagine, and it lies at the heart of Lordon's Willing Slaves of Capital."

Another weird thing to me about Montreal compared to other cities I've lived in is that it's common for people to take their appliances with them when they move. Perhaps that's normal elsewhere, but it was unique to me among the cities I've lived in.

The style of writing in this letter (1) does not seem like Satoshi's writing to me.

You can find collected examples of Satoshi's writings here (2). Browse a few examples, such as the original Bitcoin announcement (3), and then compare to the "book excerpt" (1) linked by Bloomberg. The real Satoshi's writing seems to be of higher equality and has greater clarity of thought.

To pick a concrete examples, in all of real-Satoshi's writings that I've seen, he consistently "Bitcoin", referring to it as a proper noun (except where it appears in website URLs or file names). The fraudulent letter mixes case and more often calls it "bitcoin". Beyond that, a lot of it is foggy, poor writing.

Doesn't seem to me that this article was written by Satoshi.

Had it been early years of YC, this post of explaining herself could have made sense. After so many years of being at the helm of YC, who is a nut to doubt her? Or is it that she is still insecure and any indirect reference to her capability, she begins to explain herself. I am speculating and I would be really happy to be proven wrong!

HyperRogue – a non-Euclidean roguelike
This won't work. The basic idea about the protons gaining more momentum than the electrons is valid. But the dipole creates an opposite field outside of the charged plates. Protons will be decelerated until they pass the first, positively charged plate, then accelerated through the plates, then decelerated back towards the negative plate.

This is all clear if you consider the ions falling through a potential field. The potential is 0 at infinity, positive at the first plate and negative at the second. An incoming ion starts at 0 potential, climbs a big hill to get through the first plate, then falls down below 0. Then on the way out it has to climb back to 0 potential at infinity. So the ions gain energy inside the plates but lose it all back on either side.

Most race tracks have perhaps 6-12 corners or so. The Nürburgring Nordschleife has 154.

It's 20.8km long and has 300 meters of elevation change along its length. It is an absolute monster, and a grueling test of both car and driver.

It's also so big, that you probably won't be able to see it at first on Google maps. Try zooming out a bit ;-)
Not true, having just gone through publishing in an Elsevier journal (and not for the first time). There was a person involved, because I discussed several of their edits over the phone. It's partially automated, but there is definitely a person involved doing actual work.

It is not, however, a full blown copy editor - it's primarily just minor changes, fixing formatting, and figure placement etc. Again, I don't like Elsevier, but it's not fair to say that they do nothing.

Aside from sanctions/trade wars and legal litigation, the other alternative would be a legitimate war, which would likely ensue into a world war and then maybe a nuclear war.
On avoiding the carousel, I'm wondering if the hybrid system (a short burst of acceleration) almost entirely negates the advantage of taking it. Plus I'll bet there is more time to be gained on the rest of the track (especially at these speeds) if you don't have to set the suspension up to handle the carousel. I also noticed he barely dipped into the mini-carousel, despite the common line being to hit the bottom apex there.
This kind of outcry happens again and again, but nothing ever happens, because it's a niche problem.

And maybe of interest: When the EU brought out GDPR, so many people complained about the injustice of one group of governments bringing their laws to the world. For the rest of the world, this is nothing new: The dominance of the US finance sector means that any US law is automatically international law. Visa follows US laws, nobody can exist without taking Visa payments, so everybody follows Visa rules, which means you follow US rules.

In the end, what is allowed is the intersection of behavior that's not penalized in any state of the world.

Agree. Programming is not a white collar job. Yes, it's well paid. Yes, it's done in an office. And yes, it's relatively safe and it looks like a white collar job. But it's not. Traditionally, blue collar workers are equivalent to worker bees. They are the ones that fix and make things. White collar jobs mainly manage the bees. If you're a programmer, you make things and fix things. It's a blue-collar job. It's important to you and your future to keep that clear in your mind.
The robots, of course! Joking aside, though, I believe the idea is that, because UBI is subsistence-level, there's still an incentive for those who can earn more (presumably by producing something) to do so, such that they can afford greater luxuries.

Although I'm not categorically opposed to UBI (for some definition of "B"), I am indeed, often concerned that proponents are taking their own personal attitudes and experiences, extrapolating to all other humans, without fully considering less appealling parts of human nature or potential negative emergent/systemic effects at scale.
VW just beat the Pikes Peak record with an all electric car but that was mainly because gas engines lose power at altitude. Personally I think for the time being gas engines will still be superior because they weigh less compared to batteries. I think there is a good chance that an electric car will beat the record but that will be more for PR reasons than technical merit.
It's a Quebec thing. I moved to Quebec a few years ago and had to buy a whole set of appliances, as every other place I lived in always came with them. Looking at other places around me as well, none of them come with appliances.
"Personally I found 2nd and 3rd books the worst."

I absolutely agree. Children of Dune and Dune Messiah are by far the worst. The series picks up with God Emperor of Dune, and my favorites are the last two: Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse Dune.

The original Dune book was also good, but overrated compared to the last two in the series.
It's also very bumpy. More like a normal road than a race track. A team manager once told me that not every driver can go full throttle on the longest straight because of the bumps.

It comes from afar, and is an ever-ongoing discussion. I would recommend reading [1] if you are really interested. If you are but no so much, the last paragraph is revealing:

"If we seek guidance from the past, it is better to see the 'idea of the university' not as a fixed set of characteristics, but as a set of tensions, permanently present, but resolved differently according to time and place. Tensions between teaching and research, and between autonomy and accountability, most obviously. [...] between the transmission of established knowledge, and the search for original truth; between the inevitable connection of universities with the state and the centres of economic and social power, and the need to maintain critical distance; between reproducing the existing occupational structure, and renewing it from below by promoting social mobility; between serving the economy, and providing a space free from immediate utilitarian pressures; between teaching as the encouragement of open and critical attitudes, and society's expectation that universities will impart qualifications and skills. To come down too heavily on one side of these balances will usually mean that the aims of the university are being simplified and distorted."

Yes, it’s Sep 1 because of all the university students starting school around then. I’ve heard that 80% of available rentals are for a Sep 1 move-in.

Merging Psychedelic Therapy with Sex Therapy
This is a pure gem. It's like turning a prose into an abstract syntax tree for a human parser. :) I do think it adds to the clarity for the examples presented in it. But whether it applies well to more complicated proofs (those spanning hundreds of pages in a math paper) remains to be seen. I think at least writers of introductory textbook could adopt the style to benefit beginner students.
The key bit of interest is banning Creative Commons content:

How does this affect Creative Commons users and photographers?

All direct licensing features (pricing, shopping cart, comp downloads, etc..) will be removed from the platform, including the ability for contributors to choose a Creative Commons license during the photo upload process. We’ll also remove the ability for users to download photos with a Creative Commons license.

Is 500px providing a migration path for existing contributors who submit Creative Commons images?

The short answer is no. Our plan is to remove the ability to upload an image to 500px with a Creative Commons license. We’ll also be removing the functionality to download and search for Creative Commons images on our website.

Do you have another public copyright license that 500px photographers can use when they upload new photos?

500px does not offer another public copyright license option, however, if photographers are interested, they can choose the 500px License (royalty-free) at the time of upload. By choosing the royalty-free 500px License option, photographers will be submitting their images for potential licensing through the 500px collection, which means their images could be distributed through our newest global distribution partner, Getty Images, as well as VCG.
France already has an excellent research system, and the phrase "create its own MIT" is ambiguous at best: This is mainly about branding to increase international visibility of the institutions.
Eh, they’re probably fine for regular users. They are just nonsensical when you’re starting out.

After graduating with a CS degree and a repetitive strain injury, I decided to teach myself mathematics properly (so I could do technical/creative things without a computer). I took the project very seriously, working part-time at a grocery store with no other obligations on my time than learning.

I would say the two biggest difficulties were 1) Undoing all the very bad math education I'd received earlier in life, and associated repulsion that came from it 2) Figuring out that when I ran into walls understanding certain things it could always be reduced to gaps in my knowledge that were implicitly assumed to not be there. I often ran into that reading proofs in the early days and wanted nothing more than 'very explicit' proofs as you describe (I used to always write mine that way too! In part because it's what I wished the authors were doing).

I'd like to build something in software that automatically associates expandable annotations to mathematical notation, e.g.: http://images.slideplayer.com/34/10244075/slides/slide_5.jpg —It would be super annoying if all the text were always revealed, but with a little cleverness and imagination I think a good scheme could be developed which would satisfy both beginners and experts. I would want a standard library of annotations which would automatically get associated just by using certain standard notational elements.

Here's another demo I put together to try out the same concept for natural language documents: http://symbolflux.com/lodessay/
Wondering the same thing. In the US it seems people leave ovens and stoves behind and sometimes washing machines but not always. In Germany people move all that stuff.
> ... what is allowed is the intersection of behavior that's not penalized in any state of the world.

In a weird way, I think China does this right.

Winnie the Pooh is no longer allowed in China [1]. So they turn it off at the firewall. This is better than say, trying to force all the other companies in the world to comply with some stupid law that China makes up.

While I disagree with China on their use of the firewall to block speech, it's a far better way to do it than to sue Disney to prevent Winnie the Pooh products from coming over into China.

I switched to DDG permanently because of their other bangs. I am a baseball fan and regularly use FanGraphs to look at stats. If I google a baseball player, FanGraphs isn't even on the front page. Instead, I have news articles about him, tweets from him, and a bunch of other sites. With DDG, I can simply go "!fg jose bautista" and get exactly what I want. It really has saved me a lot of time and effort. Same thing with !w for wikipedia.

I find this worrying, and for the usual reasons. People would often want to make a living by making money from their craft, but it turns out it's not so simple as finding "the market", one needs a whole load of boilerplate for it too. One such piece of boilerplate is Patreon, and Patreon's boilerplate is payment processors. So it's strange that whenever this topic comes up, people speak of it as if it's just a little issue, when it's not.

Often this idea that "it's their business, so it's their rules" is trotted out, which while of course being technically correct works to shut down any kind of critique of the state of affairs. People rightly or wrongly, depend on such platforms for their livelihood, and it's a shame that, as eurg wrote, nothing happens because it's a niche problem. It doesn't affect the "good guys", because we value their craft more than other crafts.

But it comes down to this - I realise that if I ever wanted to monetise my own artistry, I'd have to use Patreon, and the limitation of what I can post (be that adult content, even the more "disgusting" kinds involving incest or bestiality as they mention) means that my creative output is limited. As such, what I can spend my time on is not only restricted by "the market", but also by Patreon, also by Visa, also by PayPal, also by Mastercard etc. I become self-censored, chilling effects.
Have you considered finding a partner who has time and is willing to write things up for you?
CentraleSupelec is France's best attempt to match MIT (more than 1000 students each year). It was formed from the merger of Centrale Paris and Supelec schools.

And it's a unique school, not like this merger: it's a reunion of several schools that want to keep their independance. I think it'll be harder for them to act in coordination to achieve their goals.

That's assuming there are any records at all. In states like Idaho and Montana, once you get out of the bigger cities I very much doubt there are permits on file for most dwellings. Partly because few people care, and partly because the land owners resent any sort of "big government" telling them what they can and cannot do.

This method sounds appealing and reasonable. My question would be- did you have a good sense of how many of your peers did in fact do the homework ahead of class- my instinctual fear is that due to this ‘different approach’ many students may not be bothered to do this?
Page and Brin are saying that they want to deliver that specific final result even when someone starts off not knowing what they’re looking for by using context and their user data to understand what the search is really about. Not that they want to deliver one general result when someone makes a general query.

I’m not necessarily agreeing; just explaining their thinking.

What I don't understand about snapchat is its functionally useless. Me and a small group of friends send funny images and like the silly bitmoji's but we never have a proper conversation on there or exchange anything of value. I don't really see it as a true social media.
Yeah, I hear that.

My question in the 'serious misunderstanding' realm would be whether this is a problem that this individual student is having, or is it a common misunderstanding across the class? In the latter case, I turn the question back out to the class, eg, "Who thinks that's the right answer, who thinks it's Something Else?" And then we demonstrate the the individual student isn't alone in the Serious Misunderstanding, and provide a bit of personal buffer between the response and the correction.

I want students to come away with a self-description of "I have lots of ideas, and they need to be carefully checked because sometimes they're wrong," as opposed to the incredibly prevalent "I'm bad at math."
