Google does the same. Search for Warsaw while in Poland, yet use english search words. Most results will come up for things in Warsaw, Indiana. Including pages which google has tagged with "Warsaw, Indiana" so they clearly know that's where the results are coming from.

Often devs new to a project don't need to setup the tooling anyway. They just need to build components and not to configure Webpack and Babel.
Filters come in various forms, search history, language, location, OS, account-based history, etc.

Filtering my results based on my location is still a filter bubble. Filtering it based on anything, and not just showing me exactly the same results as everyone else who searched the same query is the definition of a filter bubble.

People who don't want to be bubbled use DDG. It's a big part of the reason it exists, and you want that changed. What you actually want is another search engine, which is probably Google since they have the most functional (in the sense of utility derived by the end user) filter bubbles.

gmail has been easy for me. Do you absolutely need the (nice I admit) web ui? I thought I did until I completely switch to using mails clients (mail on macOS and iPhone). I don't miss gmail at all! I realise how long it took to check my email before.
I'm using Mailbox.org btw. Cheap, lots of aliases, exchange server etc ...
I switched 10 months ago and I don't regret.
At no point do I suggest a mental addiction is less harmful, just that a distinction exists.

With a physical addiction, the substance itself becomes necessary to the body. A psychological addiction involves becoming reliant on a perceived effect of some other stimulus. If you give a brain dead person a physically addictive substance and then stop, they will suffer withdrawals while they can't develop a psychological addiction as there is no perception.

Generally, the two will develop together and both are harmful.
This is a complete falsehood. There is no mention of "Operation Lie Busters" or any kind of program to suppress information about lie detection circumvention in the linked document. No other sources were given.

You are forgetting you first need to reach 105, which very few do, so the population you apply the coin toss to is much smaller.

Holy cow. Jira or Bugzilla.
There's an old saying: You can't care about the problem more than the customer.

In this case, since you are an employee, the customer is your company. You are providing a service for them.

If downtime can be fatal, and your company is large, they should actually hire some people to cover that time. You've taken too much responsibility upon yourself. You're caring about it more than they are.

You need to put your health before the health of your company. What do you think will happen to this company if you are unable to continue at work? They'll have to find someone else. Tell your boss that your boss needs to mitigate this risk by hiring additional staff to share the load or cover nights. You will help train.

If you don't think you can have this conversation, it's time to find a different job.

I doubt it. Laboratories which teach and work in English have a huge advantage in modern academia because they are able to draw in talent from a far larger pool.

I appreciate how the present blog post may strike some as conspiracy-minded. Especially those not familiar with the history of Operation Lie Busters, a U.S. criminal investigation that targeted the proprietors of websites that provided information to the public about how to pass or beat a polygraph test.

As you'll see in this recent post announcing the leak of the U.S. government's polygraph school's documentation about polygraph countermeasures, the federal polygraph community considers AntiPolygraph.org to be a major threat, and it features front and center in their training:

https://antipolygraph.org/blog/2018/06/09/ncca-polygraph-cou...

None of this necessarily entails any state influence in Google's action to delist AntiPolygraph.org on certain key search terms.

It is true that our web design is dated. But this doesn't seem to account for the site being completely delisted from Google on such searches as "polygraph" and "lie detector."

I am not familiar with any other instances of such partial delisting by Google. Are you? If so, what were the causes for that?
Same in Sweden. If you want to know what channels football matches are airing on here the following searches yield entirely different results:

The former gives you the correct site with the channels listed as the first answer but the second one doesn’t even have the channels on the first page.
As I understand their argument, you're supposed to choose something that can put food on the table, then work really hard at it. Once you're really good at it, you'll be passionate about it.

This is in contrast to the idea that there is something out there that you'll love doing all the time. That's a terrible idea, because you'll always hit rough spots and have to do a lot of things you hate, leading to frustration.
Elsevier have always been like this, it's just that now, with cheap internet globally available and having seen what Napster did to the record industry (indirectly creating Spotify, Apple music, etc.) they're fighting to protect their monopoly with whatever (dirty) tricks they can muster.

As far as I can see, the only things they now provide that hasn't been replicated as a 'free service' is matching editors and referees to submissions, and journals of repute, i.e. publish in Nature and it's a bona fide article, publish on your blog and no-one knows who you are or whether your work was refereed.

To be clear Sci-Hub merely provides copies of work that has been accepted for publication in a journal, it's not a free replacement for the full 'service' that Elsevier and other publishers provide.

Jeez. Why does anyone do this to themselves? All the work by the javascript guy and then all the work by the server to produce simple HTML/CSS output.

I am positive someone will come here and make a claim of large, dynamic sites and reddit's favorite nonsense phrase about DRY but I am also positive more people learn React because online articles tell them to than a real need for them.

If one would spend all this time learning HTML/CSS/Javascript fundamentals, and how to properly use them, they would have the same questions I have after 14 years of doing this, for companies large and small, as to why anyone bothers with this, Angular, and all the others. It just makes no sense at all.

> Sure, nobody forces you to publish in Elsevier journals

Actually, some researchers are forced to publish in Elsevier journals. Some research institutions require researchers to meet publication quotas and a paper only counts if it's published in a journal that's included in a precompiled list of reference publications. If every single journal is ownrd and controlled by the likes of Elsevier then these researchers have no alternative, because they will get fired if they don't.

Hello everyone!

I have built a tool that allows Linux and macOS users to mount their Google Drive account locally as a virtual file system. The file system supports most typical operations (creating/deleting/moving/renaming files and directories, reading/writing to them).

It can also export special Drive files as OpenOffice documents and has an in-memory cache which improves the speed of navigation and file access. Changes performed on other clients (e.g. on the web or mobile interface) are usually detected shortly and applied locally as well.

I also wrote a paper[0] on it, as I am using the project for my bachelor thesis.

It is still rough around the edges and lacks some functionality, but for the moment it is good enough for my personal use. I am looking forward to hearing your comments and feedback on how to improve it.

I'm from Poland and I just searched for 'Warsaw', 'Warsaw car rental' and 'Warsaw law office' using incognito mode and google.com and all of the results were for Warsaw, Poland.

It also detected that I'm in Poland and asked me if I want to switch to polish Google and filter results in polish language.

TL;DR I mostly find what I need quicker with least faffing around changing terms to try and fight them "knowing best".

Google shot themselves in the foot when they removed code search, and "improved" results by constantly knowing better with synonyms and other semantically linked results. It rather broke code searches and led to more of the wrong language turning up instead. Language reference and standard library type searches they do just fine at.

Google spoiled it for the obscure and code when even + and - modifiers and advanced searches became optional. They felt able to give a page of results with only one result having my must-have term. Makes searching for a specific release hellish - not everyone integrates latest and greatest v9 the week of its release. No, I really do want v7. I never fathomed the rationale of that change for anyone.

DDG do the least additional messing with my search terms with helpful expansion, pluralisation and so on. DDG got a little worse at obscure error searches when they started on some "oh you also meant" games fairly recently. They still do the least of this. There's still occasional cases where the content simply isn't there - but they're far better than say a year or two ago.

When I first tried DDG a few years ago I was !g or !sp all the time and it was barely worth the effort. Now I very rarely go near Google and don't feel I'm losing out.
FWIW, you can use !s to redirect to Startpage to get Google results with just a bit more privacy.

"more people learn React because online articles tell them to than a real need for them"

Yes, like with most software.

Learn to use a search engine. Why did this become a lost skill? You can tell it exactly what you want it to find using quotes or explicitly stating a locality.
I think we have to start thinking about a way to make it work. There is pressure in some areas for papers backed by things like Jupyter notebooks, and machines make accessing the horde of information associated with a paper easier. We also need to disintermediate Elsevier and other bad actors, they're really causing a lot of trouble at this point.
The problem IMO is that the internet is too much of a bazaar, and too little of a library. If there was a means to mark off the 'library' content of the internet such that if you asked for a resource at time t, you would get that resource at time t, many of these issues would go away. Sort of the wayback machine on steroids. Yes it would be hard, but not NP hard.
This could also allow the use of blogs, in much the same way as private communications can be cited in papers. For example, "We elected not to run fluorine experiments due to advice from this source -- http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2010/02/23/thi...

I know it isn't easy, but we really do need to embrace the internet with respect to scientific literature, not keep walling it off. Cornell's arxiv seems a good start.

Google’s search results would probably be useful to me if I happened to be the most generic, average person in the world. I’m guessing this is an explicit business decision and not inferior technology.
I wonder if this is a defensive strategy as much as anything, what with the suborbital leisure/transport market apparently heating up. 20-30 years away is far enough that Boeing could use this venture to investigate broad concepts/supporting technologies thereby building up a war chest of promising capabilities, whilst still remanining sufficiently uncommitted to pivot rapidly should a potential competitor race ahead. One example might be Boeing's investment in Reaction Engines SABRE tech, which whilst speculative could prove to be a critically strategic piece of IP.

I love this perspective on passions and finding joy in the practical. As a former smoker, I used to get a nicotine rush while having conversations in person or over the phone (while smoking). Once that went away, 5+ years ago, I found that I enjoyed conversation less and really needed to make an effort to initiate and continue it. That hasn't gone away, so I'm hoping to get some other good perspectives on the later half of your comment.

Instead of hiring someone extra, you could also rotate the assignment on a daily/weekly basis to one of the engineers.

> Such research is probably improperly generalized or otherwise misinterpreted.

A great deal of it is, and some of it has more fundamental problems. I forget his name -- this was quite a while ago -- but there was one scientist in particular who had published a wealth of anti-cannabis studies, most of which were obviously flawed or biased in some way. Furthermore, at the time he was one of the only people allowed to do the research, since access to "official" MJ was heavily restricted, and the supply he used was a small batch of plants grown specifically for research, hardly representative of real-world crops. Most of his work was federally funded, and this was during the Bush II era, so you can imagine the pressure to back up the government's anti-MJ stance. Wish I could remember more details, this was a while ago!

When I first learned about this, it was really an eye-opener on how the funding -> research -> policy treadmill works when it is successfully subverted by powerful interests. Fortunately it's hard to keep the process going forever. Science works in the long run, but sometimes it moves too slowly for people facing real injustice.
But as long as they don't rely on this single evidence, that should be fine right? If someone's hair, fingerprints all match the ones in crime scene, even if the software only have 90% confidence, it should be good enough. Btw from a blurred image, it's fundamentally impossible to have around 100% accuracy.

it works but elements do not feel like they display right. And you can scroll down to see hover answers, which had no questions.

I found out what those were exactly since I jumped into desktop mode, which had even more noticeable issues.

I hate mobile first design choices for adaptive interfaces, since they in a lot of cases, aren't suited for either platform
glibc has some plugins which make it not easy to statically link. Musl doesn't have that. And alpine compiles openssl etc. with a config amenable to static linking. It's all about distro choices.
This might start well, but what happens when the environment changes? Maybe that musicians music doesn't pan out, maybe we thought bread would be a more popular export so we have too many bakers. Are we going to jerk people around to follow the command economy, or are we going to simply get outcompeted by capitalism in the global market place?
We aren't there yet.
Fetish.

Programmers tend towards the same behavior: if you've ever read through an over-engineered solution, you can tell it came from a person or team that privileged the technology over the solution. So it's a kind of technological fetish.

Same goes with visual design. "Want to see a site about reverse engineering? Well here's a giant animated triangle for you, gliding across the page like a fish. See what we did there, isn't that neat?"

But hey, have fun with illusion of safety, deprived freedom and a complete waste of money.
Technically maybe, but culturally, it was in a lot of ways closer to the Internet . You could buy all kinds of services on-line, it was used by non techies. It even had something the Internet hasn't: Usable micro-payments.

I believe the open nature of the Internet is a much better base for growth than one where the slow-moving governmental phone monopoly controls everything.

Even so, humanity lost something by not choosing the minitel path: The ad-infested privacy-killing aspects of the net might be in a much better shape on platform with minitel-like governing.
> To be clear, there is no securing yourself against state level actors. You can harden yourself, and reduce your target area and/or footprint, but there's no way to actually make yourself secure.

You can, if you gain the support of an opposing, comparable state actor. That's what Snowden has employed. But 100% security is still a myth, not only against state actors... reality itself is just not like that. Unless you can hide inside a black hole.
It does sound a bit abnormal to have gotten that large without a more formal system. But instead of jumping into a big change, which is just as likely to cause organizational stress, it is worth thinking about that - you are somehow mostly succeeding with Slack, with just a few problems. You need refinement of your system, not replacement.

I like your own suggestion of a bot to try to guess the correct question/answer. The first thought that comes to mind to make that would is to build out a wiki and a bot that will try to match up questions to the information in that wiki. Engineers could start a process to put answers in the wiki, and send the link to the asker. The askers can start asking the bot, and the bot can provide a few possible questions and answers back, with an option to say, "None of these are right, ask the engineers".

A system like that would solve your problem, while building the knowledge base needed to self-service information gathering, without throwing your entire process into a big change cycle.
