Search is, by definition, biased. A completely unbiased search engine is completely useless to everyone. Some result is going to take that coveted first spot, and several results are going to fill up the coveted first page. In order to narrow down all the results and be useful some bias is going to show up. I don't go to Google (or Bing, or DuckDuckGo, or etc) because I want an unbiased search. Precisely the opposite. I go because I think their bias gives the best results.

If Google were unbiased in its search results you would search for tigers and get random results having nothing to do with tigers because maybe that's really the page you wanted and you don't want bias in your search results. Even allowing that every search result has to have the word tiger in it, there's a vast difference between getting the Wikipedia article on tigers vs some random MC Hammer fan-fic that mentions one time that his pants had tiger stripes.

An example to drive the point home: Where are my keys? A biased search would look first in the places I think they are most likely to be, and those places will be biased by me according to what I normally do with my keys, where I normally go, where I normally use them, etc. My keys are more likely to be in my pants pocket than, my wife's, and certainly more likely than some stranger's (though there is non-zero percent chance it could be in any of those). But an unbiased search for my keys would say that any place is equally likely. Even reducing it to all places that a human could have traveled to in the time since I last saw them biases the search by supposing that advanced life-forms with faster-than-light travel took my keys to Alpha Centauri overnight. Plenty of people believe this could possibly be the case, and a search for my keys that doesn't take that into account is biased against these people and their beliefs.

I agree with your last statement, though. Rightly or wrongly, this may cause Google to change which direction they are biased in. It could also just be an opportunity for others to try different search engines to see which bias they prefer, whereas previously they had never considered it.

Mushrooms, mdma, lsd, ketamine are often praises as therapeutic but I’ve had close relations with all of them and been in a culture where that belief is there and seen so many scenarios it’s unbelievable. Yes they might have a short lived effect but they are incredibly hard to manage. I advise everyone to try once in their life but keep it at that and try to use the effect for something... which might be the hard part. Today the only drug I believe is fairly safe and has a much harder effect is Changa(dmt + Maoi) which might end the need for all other drugs and help stress or bad thoughts Which it had to me and over 70 people I took through it.

The therapeutic dose for ketamine is far lower than the recreational dose. (I don't know anything about the others.)
The Gold Eagles sold direct to consumers by the mint are either "proofs" -- struck with a special finish, or a special minting targeted towards collectors. You're paying a premium for the "W" mint-mark and fancy box.

They also make a non-collector version and sell them to bullion dealers, who then mark them up modestly for retail. To get access to them direct, you're probably buying hundreds of coins at a time.
Interesting, I implemented something similar a long time ago, have to see if I can dig up the source code. The goal was to support forking data without duplicating unchanged data.
> Lack of generics was never part of "Go idealism". It has remained an open question for 9 years.

You should read less is exponentially more by Pike. He made it clear back then that he didn't see a need for generics and Go was explicitly written to be a replacement for C++ without all the unnecessary features. Not having generics was at least initially a core part in justifying the existance of Go, just like not having any form of exception handling ( they had to add panic recover quite early ).
Yeah I have noticed same problem. Try search something like Trump Twitter page, if you are very liberal bubble Twitter page comes like 4th or 5th result.
When I saw the results I did not believe, so I reviewed the benchmark code. It is basically the same SQL commands being run in normal SQLite and with the branching enabled.

Yes, LMDB is proved to be safe. It is used in many apps and even other DB implementations, including Monero.

What I have not tested is SQLite with WAL (Write-Ahead Log). In this case it may be faster than the default journal mode.

Finance person here, this is a good grounding of the basics. The hardest part to take forward is working out the timing of things. A company is constantly owed and owing money, and this is the real trick to working out your funding requirements.

On top of the model every business needs an operational cash flow forecast going out say 3 months at least. For every day you enter the brought forward balance from yesterday. Then you add and subtract all of the line items of cash inflow and outflow for the day to forecast a closing can balance. It is more than possible for your financing model to show profitability and yet to be insolvent, because you are paying money out before it comes in. Like maybe a big customer pays on the 28th but payroll goes on the 25th...

Cash is king as they say, and a daily cash-flow forecast is the main tool that a financial controller would use to maximise it.

It is also the advantage of webtorrent. All a person need to seed a file in webtorrent is open a browser window. You can't rely on users of your application to start an IPFS server and seed the files.

If you want to seed a file for long term you can use the webtorrent-cli or webtorrent app as well.
> difficult and intractable a problem online harassment is

She is saying is that it's only "difficult and intractable" if you operate a social network the way they all do: "engagement" above any other consideration.

I don't see a whole lot of calls for genocide on any Apple property. I don't see a whole lot of calls for genocide on HN. Use Twitter in Germany and suddenly the bulk of the NeoNazi tweets disappear.

She's right. Whether you like censorship or hate censorship, it just isn't hard to implement it an order or two of magnitude more effectively than what we have now.

So the next time some journalist writes an article about one of these social networks, it would be great if they got it right. They prattle on and on about how lost Google and Facebook are when it comes to text-filtering and data-mining. It's silly.
That’s an invalid assumption, as most functions will not use check (looking at my code there are just a few places I’d use it). It’s an addition to current error handling, not a replacement.
I understand you personally don’t want to engage in what you consider politics at work. I don’t think anyone here has a problem with that. But you seem to feel like other people are forcing you to say or do political things.

I don’t understand who those people are, or how they force you to say or do political things. All I see are people who are saying things at work, like “everyone should march for lgbtq rights next weekend”, and those things annoy you because you don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss them at work. So, in this scenario, now you’re annoyed by unwanted speech... what happens next? Are you forced to go march, or forced to say outloud that you agree, under threat (explicit or implied) of retaliation? That might be illegal depending on where you work, but ianal. If that’s not what’s happening, then can you explain in more detail what harm is done to you, beyond being annoyed?
Maybe, maybe no longer so. The social media experiment is quite old now - old enough to make quite a few people disillusioned about what it actually does to you in a deeper way, and not to feel the urge anymore.

The bigger problem is that FB actually replaced not only discussion forums but also mailing lists for non-technical people, so very often you have no option other than to join a particular FB group if you want to participate in offline events. But even this might change with time.
> Recovery especially is rather implausible due to the complex aerodynamics and risk to the people on the mothership.

Fly straight up, cut engines, fall ballistic. Maybe even add a parachute. The US recovered spy satellite footage in the 60s this way, with payload falling from space and being caught in-flight. So it should be workable today as well.
> And I'm saying ISPs would never let that happen.

I think you underestimate how tightly knit telecom and digital media corporations are.

In the US, we are talking about less than a dozen companies controlling the majority of both markets.

Two of the biggest ISPs are Comcast and AT&T. Comcast owns NBCUniversal, and AT&T owns HBO, CNN, and many others.

Neither of those corporations will be against this sort of action. They will be for it.
My experience with DDG was the same when I used for a few month a while back. They definitely didn't exceed Google. When I try them once and a while, they still don't.

But thing is, Google itself seems worse and worse to me. It seems to try harder and harder to decide what I want and only give me that - if X is associated with something topical, only topical links appear. And DDG and Bing follow this problem.

Fun Fact: A lot of people, when discussing Free Speech, bring up Nazis and how some views should be banned. In fact, Weimar Germany, although much more liberal than the republic under Bismarck, cracked down on hate speech and jailed many Nazis, which only led to them getting a more sympathetic hearing and a broader audience:

"Leading Nazis, including Joseph Goebbels, Theodor Fritsch, and Julius Streicher, were all prosecuted for anti-Semitic speech. And rather than deterring them, the many court cases served as effective pubic relations machinery for the Nazis, affording them a level of attention that they never would have received in a climate of a free and open debate.

In the decade from 1923 to 1933, the Nazi propaganda magazine Der Stürmer — of which Streicher was the executive publisher — was confiscated or had its editors taken to court no fewer than 36 times. The more charges Streicher faced, the more the admiration of his supporters grew. In fact, the courts became an important platform for Streicher’s campaign against the Jews."[1]

This pattern has been repeated in other countries as well. So, it's really a shame that people aren't looking back to history's lessons here. I understand that when you see something really offensive, your reaction is to ban it, but there are all sorts of unexpected things that happen when you do that, from the Barbara Streisand effect, to driving discussions underground, where they tend to become more extreme because they are only debated in an echo chamber with like minded individuals rather than brought out to the public square.

I am obviously not talking about employer code of conduct. In my opinion, there should be no place for politics on the job site, but just be aware that you are not actually stomping out any offending beliefs by punishing those who express them -- at best you are driving those beliefs underground where they will go unchallenged, and at worst you are also creating a much wider audience of sympathetic ears, mostly drawn from a public who doesn't like to be told what to think.
> which might end the need for all other drugs

There is no such thing as one drug which makes all other drugs redundant.

Disulfiram (brandname Antabus(e)) works well for alcohol addiction. Methadone for heroin addiction. Bupropion (brandname Zyban) for smoking cessation.

As for DMT + MAOI (which I know as Ayahuasca), care should be taken when using a MAOI. Most importantly it must not be combined with a plethora of other drugs and foods, but there are some additional sharp edges to take into account beyond that.

I've only used Ayahuasca once recreationally. It was the most interesting experience, compared to Psilocybin. They say that with MDMA, only your first experience is magic. I've used it approx 10 times, and can attest to that.

I do not recommend everyone should use this or any other drug once in their life. From the drugs you mentioned, there's one which you didn't which is relatively mild, safe, and that is Muscimol (found in A. Muscaria aka fly agaric).

My advice is very simple and universal (caveat [1]): go to your doctor instead of recreationally using drugs, and exhaust all options there. It was then, through rough milling and various therapists, that I found out that I have ASD. Which explained far, far more than any recreational drug usage I've had. And I have had my take as the above might suggest. Of all the drugs I have used, I feel marihuana was the most dangerous one because I had multiple psychoses on that one.

I'm sure this is similar in other cultures but Japan still has a strong attitude that you're lucky to have a job. Contrast that to us (myself included) spoiled Silicon Valley type engineer who gets job offers often and companies trying to entice us with free food, game rooms, etc...

From that, people who have a job in Japan often feel obligated as in "You gave my a job and made it possible to live my life. You invested N years in training me. I'm now responsible for various parts of your business. If I leave it will feel like not paying you back for all you've given me. It will also put you out for weeks to months.".

Japanese have an acute sense of obligation as well. There's a reason why you say "Don't worry this is really nothing" when you give a gift in Japan as you're trying to avoid adding to the receiver's obligation to reciprocate.

Of course as a westerner that attitude used to bug the crap out of me. I knew a person who wanted to quit, their boss said "no, you can't quit", and they stayed on for several more months. At some point in my life my attitude would have probably been something along the lines of "If it's that important I stick around what's it worth to you?"

The longer I'm in Japan the more I'm mellowing on some of my western and spoiled engineer attitudes. Of course not totally but I feel like the it's "me vs them" attitude I see so much on HN leads to worse outcomes than the "we're all in this together" attitude or the "it takes a village" attitude I see more of in Japan. I think both extremes are bad but if my meter was pointing at the 100% me side before it's now around the 75% me side, 25% us side, now.
Software development is more like - couple hundred percent over spec in time and cost, code base is a mess, almost nobody uses it and finally, after a couple of years, management changes and the new mgmt calls a spade a spade and terminates the project.

At least that's often the case in huge organizations trying to do crazily ambitious projects (esp. given their general incompetence). I tend to consult on such shitstorms because it pays well. The scars are for life though...
This is not a payments gateway. We use them for something entirely different than processing payments or credit cards. I haven't seen a general PCI-compliant transparent PII tokenizer proxy service like that. If you know of one, let me know, maybe we'll even switch. But this is not a payment gateway solution, and it's offering many more use cases than an iframe or credit cards.

In my experience, the vast majority of my racist family members and other acquaintances are such specifically because of a lack of understanding of and positive exposure to individuals of other races. Even the "strongly held convictions of derision and superiority" are more often than not compensation for a sense of fear rather than genuine belief in superiority.

I never said it was innocent misunderstanding, but it is still misunderstanding nonetheless, and it is still possible to at least start to correct this misunderstanding by alleviating the fear underlying it, thus making it easier for a racist individual to expose oneself to those "inferior" races and realize that they're just fellow human beings and not scary job-stealing world-order-establishing criminal boogeymen.
"Do authors explicitly write subtext?"

So there is only one subtext to a text? If a subtext was intended by the author and never discovered by any reader, is it still a subtext? If a reader constructs a subtext that contradicts the intentions of the author, is it a subtext or a vision? How exactly do you define subtext? Similar questions could be asked about the concept of "lineage".

True, but the existence of churn is interesting in itself. A few years ago we feared people would be stuck on one platform because all their friends are stuck there.

That doesn't mean people are exactly choosing freely now, they might be following the herd because all their friends are following the herd. But at least upstarts can compete for the future herds.
