there are 3 parties:

the end user searching for the content

the webmaster or author of the content

the search provider

If I'm searching for something that I know exists and I cant find it there is no excuse. The search provider failed to do its job.

There is not but the webmaster should have done this and that. He was hit by a bus 10 years ago and we should be happy the content is still available.

A good search provider would link a vanished website to archive org if the content is exactly what the customer wanted.

Long long ago when posting interesting links in comments didn't trigger commercial hysteria people would cite bits of texts and have a link to the full text. Later this became simply citing a chunk of text. I use to drop a few lines from the citation into the search engine and find the original work.

Just look!

https://www.google.com/search?q=Looks+like+only+page+6+is+in....

As i'm writing this there are exactly 45 search results above the one that should have been displayed.

There is no excuse like HN not ranking enough, they didn't not index the page, the other results didn't match the query better.

If we do this with 4 exact lines from a less popular site it will end up some place on page 20 of the search results.

Another example, I really don't care for indexing but here is an article that I always (jokingly) refer to as my greatest work.

The exact title:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22the+wrath+of+the+book%22

A really weird result. Safe to say nothing matching is there.

The first many words from the text:

https://www.google.com/search?q=I+think+someone+%28you%29+sh...

It doesn't find it.

Then we check if it is even indexed...

https://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.go-here.nl...

And there it is! Why does it even crawl the page?

It also lists websites that have the number 8616 on them and ones with both the word "blog" and "here" in the text.

I'm not suppose to laugh?
The real concern, is why are they marrying those men they used to reject.
Feelings and emotions don't go away, and "settling" is very toxic thing to most people. They usually get more resentful about it over time(both the people who settle, and the people who were settled for if they find out).
There’s a strong, intentional skew in their enforcement:

dang has previously said that they’re more critical of people who perturb the groupthink, and take action against them for things people supporting popular opinions would be excused for.

That’s what it means when they say they censor to keep “civility”: if the groupthink finds you disruptive, you will be silenced by arbitrary application of rules others (who subscribe to groupthink) are excused for — and in this way, an insistence on civility always favors groupthink.

The pretense of censoring for civility here is merely dishonest gaslighting about their ideological policing, in favor of groupthink.

It’s precisely the same kind of dishonesty you see in YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook’s censoring of conservative voices: hyperpartisans screech, and complicit moderates use that as a pretense to enact their biases.
I read that as "What" not "where", sorry.
They are the same notation, look it up. If Australia was producing 12,010 billion barrels of oil per day per million people you'd probably be able to see that portion of the globe turn black from space, everyone in Australia would have drowned in it and an oil tsunami would be heading towards New Zealand.
> I'm waiting for similar conclusions to surface for added sugar.

Haven't they? I saw "sugar coated" several years ago ( http://sugarcoateddoc.com/ ). Not on Netflix any longer, but can still be found on Kanopy I believe. Also, one of the main doctors has videos on Youtube about added sugar and fructose ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM ).

If flossing makes your gums bleed, you're not flossing enough.

No, this is not a "No True Scotsman" sort of argument or some sort of sarcastic joke; that's really what it means. It should stop bleeding in just a couple of days of regular flossing. If it doesn't, your mouth may be indicating another problem.
Depending on your genetics and general dental health, yeah, flossing isn't always required. Not saying "don't floss" but I made other changes to my dental habits (how i brush, etc) and rarely need to floss - dentist says everything's fine. Obviously though if your dentist is saying 'floss more', then floss more.

There are also little dental picks you can get that you can use to clean between teeth without flossing, though I find them hard to use. If you're having trouble with regular flossing definitely ask your dentist for alternatives.
The answer to OPs question is simple: because they have gold-plated Cadillac of a health plan themselves. They aren't much affected by the Obamacare cost increases either, unlike the rest of us peons. So we get "let them eat cake" type healthcare legislation.
Absolutely. Which I'd classify as a great way to punt.

But some projects as presented don't have a clear refusal option.

ML would go a long way if the Hippocratic Oath (or derivative thereof) were taken & adhered to by the industry.
5 years since the Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL became public
Either you are flossing wrong or you haven't gotten over the hump or you have gum disease. I'd talk with your dentist.

Having said that, I love my waterpik. When I floss and rinse, it still flushes things from between my teeth that flossing couldn't get rid of. I highly recommend both!
The "security" thing is deceptive, although I don't see that any worse than what's currently on ElementaryOS's frontpage[0]:

From my understanding: any CPR done properly has a risk of breaking people's ribs. You've got to push quite strongly to resuscitate the heart.

If you're not coming back, the doctor performing CPR will push harder and harder to try to get you to breath again. And yes, that means broken ribs.

Medicine is ugly. We rip out veins in the legs and attach them to the heart to "cure" blocked arteries and prevent heart attacks. We pull tendons out of corpses, drill screws into bones, and re-attach the knee bones... to provide additional support to torn tendons.

And in some cases: doctors tell the patient to live with the condition (ex: some peculiar shoulder bone breaks), because the treatment is sometimes worse than the ailment.

---------

I don't know all treatments or all ailments... and even doctors won't know all the possibilities. But, the overwhelming expert opinion of the health care industry seems to be against full code. (and btw: they make money when they drag lives out... they have a financial incentive against this recommendation. The longer they drag out your life, the more money that they make.)
Node really doesn't pay attention to nice API design. If all readable streams had

`Stream<T>.toBufferAsync(): Promise<Buffer>`

`Stream<T>.toStringAsync(): Promise<string>`

`Stream<T>.toArrayAsync():Promise<T[]>`

then you could quickly collect any stream you want into a promise, including the stream returned by request.

Here is how you do a Stream API properly.

https://api.dartlang.org/stable/2.2.0/dart-async/Stream-clas...

Has first, last, toList(), map, reduce, filter, takeWhile, skipWhile, Stream.periodic and other great goodies that make stream usage nice and easy.

Too bad Google never invested this amazing API designer power into JS, they could've been the "apache commons" of node.
Good point although it highlights how lame Congress has been on the subject.

Yes. Not just over the past 2-4 months, but over the past five years or so.

I don't see any reason wireless can't be identical to wired as far as audio quality goes on a phone.

If we were talking about wired vs. wireless headphones on a home stereo listen to LPs, then yeah, there might be something to talk about. There you have an analog source, and with wired the signal stays analog all the way to the transducers in the headphones. Going wireless will introduce an ADC on the stereo end and a DAC on the headphone end.

But with a phone you have a digital source, going to a DAC, and then to the transducers. The difference between wired and wireless there is that wireless puts the DAC closer to the headphones, and the digital signal goes over a wireless link.

I'd expect die-hard audiophiles to actually prefer wireless in theory, because with wired you are relying on a DAC and amplifier provided by the phone manufacturer. With wireless you are using a DAC and amplifier from the headphone manufacturer, which allows in theory for the headphone manufacturer to use a better DAC and amplifier than the phone provides.

No I don't find you snarky. I'm just confused. Are you saying that by engaging in a discussion about an article I posted in an online forum I'm "cataloging" and "actively manipulating" it? Am I "cataloging" a discussion if I tweet an article and reply to the responses? Am I "actively manipulating" a Reddit discussion if I post a link on the site and... respond to the comments? I've been doing both my whole career.
Google has, for quite some time now, preferred magazine style websites that grow exponentially.

Their search engine algorithm is designed to favour rich media content and websites that are growing, because this is how Google grows and learns.

Favouring the "old web" would not help Google's business model which favours growth.
It's those multi-client scenarios for which the API-first approach is a perfect fit, actually. Once the API is hammered out, it forms the common foundation for building gui's, cli's and even machine-to-machine interfaces. As a stepping stone, web applications can be deployed as hybrid mobile apps using something like Apache Cordova, even as fully native apps for Android and iOS are under development. Once you've implemented something like this, it's hard to go back to monolithic codebases. Caveat: this is predicated on having an API server and requiring an Internet connection. Writing a connectionless app this way would require some additional effort, though still quite do-able.
Mint was just weird back then. Ubuntu was so young and had so much things going on, and then came Mint sipping a bit of that energy away. Some users would end up in the Ubuntu support forum I was active at the time and mention they use Mint, and we were like "why would you do that?" In my bubble it felt like a diverging amateur approach (it felt, no idea about whether that was the case) right at the wrong moment with misleading advertisement. That was still very early days for Ubuntu, when users still had to be educated not to break their system with strange and insecure tweak bash scripts downloaded from other forums. And I'd argue it was also before one could understand why you'd want to fork Ubuntu, before there were controversial decisions - especially not with "we make the desktop easier!", Ubuntu was already doing that.

Later on Mint developed its own profile, this was way before Cinnamon.
Sweet! Let me know where it ends up and I'll link to it. I'm excited to see what you come up with.
Should they not? Ignoring money, if you have a product which has been shown to improve lives or increase lifespan, shouldn't you aim to make it as available as possible? In general, pharmaceuticals have to prove some benefit over the current standard of care to convince payers (insurance companies) to pay for the drug.

Disclaimer: I work in big pharma, though in discovery research, nowhere near pricing and business decisions. Of course, in my position, it would be great if all pharma invested more in R&D

They don't necessarily need full knowledge of the product or any such thing, they just need to be able to provide a sort of filter, remove anything uselessly abusive or congratulatory without value, open defects for obvious bugs with reproduction instructions and get users to dig in and provide useful details when asking questions.

Those questions can then be answered directly by them or forwarded off to a dev who will have more detail and be able to get answers faster without the drudge of dealing with the rest of it.

Personally while working at a small company and doing both support and development work, I found it helpful to simply tell customers we'd address issues "with the development team" even when that meant I was going to work on it. Drawing that line in the sand between support and development roles compartmentalize those activities and reduces the immediacy of demand from users.

I have seen an (anecdotal) large amount of capacitors failing in consumer televisions. I recently replaced one in a friend's TV. These capacitors are supposed to have rated lifetimes of roughly the lifetime of the TV, so why are they failing in normal use? Is there another Dell situation, where a big batch had slight issues?
Nobody wants it, but they have no reasonable alternative to it. There are so many disparate factors that differentiate an iPhone from its competitors that the lack of a TRRS-barrel headphone jack is likely insufficient to change the whole-product buying decision.

You just have to pay for the headphone dongle replacements for as long as you own the phone, or the licensing fees and brand-based price differentials for every pair of headphones you buy--the "Apple tax" in action.

As long as someone gets more than $3/month in personal benefit from owning an iPhone instead of the next-best alternative, they will suck it up and buy the $9 audio dongle every 3 months. If they didn't realize that much benefit, they wouldn't have bought the iPhone in the first place.

Anecdote time. I told my family long ago that if they bought Apple products, I would not support those products in any way. If there is ever a problem, take it to the Apple store instead of telling me about it. Two of them chose iPhone anyway--one within the last year. And lo, surprising no-one, or at least not me, those earbuds with the lightning connector broke after ( N < 12 ) months. A conductor is loose between lightning connector and left earbud, the break occurring near the lightning connector. Because that part of the cable has zero strain relief. A flexible cable coming off of a rigid bit of plastic--of course it's going to break there. It's either that, or wearing out the insulation on the cable within 15cm of the connector.

So, this happens: "Hey, logfromblammo, please come with me to the Apple store and hold my hand while I try to get a warranty replacement for these headphones that are otherwise $29 to replace?" "No. I told you 'no' years ago, and I have not changed my mind since; if the problem has an Apple logo on it, it is entirely your problem." And this somehow makes me a jerk. I knew this would happen--I tried to stop it by telling people "don't buy anything with an Apple connector (except MagSafe)". This is why, when Apple first made the announcement that they were removing the TRRS barrel jack from their phones, I raged for days, despite not owning an iPhone, because people around me own iPhones, and knew I would have to hear their pleas and complaints. It has happened over and over and over again. Apple makes a shit sandwich, puts it in a white box with a silver logo on it, and people just... eat it? Why do they eat the sandwich? That guy just got seconds! It even says "poop sandwich" on the box! Why are they doing this?!

The engineering solution may be technically elegant, but it is an answer to a problem that Apple created for itself--a problem that never needed to exist.
> If the change doesn't actually result in a therapeutic benefit, then doctors shouldn't prescribe the new drug over the generic.

There's also the issue of additional state regulation for some drugs. For instance: Adderall. The DEA limits production of amphetamines, and of course Shire (the former patent-holder for Adderall) is going to prefer to produce its patent-protected version over the generic version. For long after there were generic version of Adderall available, Adderall XR ("extended release") was still under patent. Supplies of Adderall were low nationwide, and doctors were pressured to prescribe the XR version to limit abuse potential.

The issue I see is : How do you pay for a mortgage? How do you stay in the same school district without a 2 hour commute?

Job hopping is fine when you're young and can apartment hop every year. But when you get hitched, have a family, want a dog and a yard for the kiddos to play in, job hopping gets a LOT harder. Trying to pay off that mortgage between the two of you ain't easy when your schedule is changing so often (commuting really gets in the way of picking the kids up) and you may be out of work for 6 months or more. Sure, maybe the Bay is job-rich, but then the houses are $3k/mo. for the next 30 years.

Yeah, maybe the job ain't peaches then, you take the stability for the joy. But there ain't any stability either now.
As others have said, talk to your doctor, but I'll add this incentive: While there are no cures for Alzheimer's, there are things that have a good chance of slowing it down, some of which may be available only via prescription.

I'm familiar with the "not sure I really want to know" kind of thing myself, but there are outcomes that can be more positive than just letting it happen. If it is Alzheimer's, you want to get started as soon as possible.

I'll also point out there are plenty of non-Alzheimer's explanations, some of which may be as simple as a missing nutrient or a relatively-easily-treatable thyroid condition. Or maybe you've got sleep apnea without realizing it. Or who knows how many other things. I obviously can't guarantee you aren't experiencing Alzheimer's in some form, but there's a lot of other things on the table too.
No one is advocating "kicking in doors of houses that are not on fire".

What should be done is to be aware of the risk, and that it is very different doing business with China vs. say, Thailand or Mexico.

Of course, wherever you do business, you must take precautions against IP theft and having your product sold out the back door.

However, for China, the threat model needs to be completely re-calibrated. Specifically, recalibrated to assume either that your product will be sold out the back door of the factory under another label, that your IP will end up in a competitor's hands, or that if it is important enough it will be expropriated by the govt either via rules requiring 'sharing' or by state-level espionage.

This is NOT to say that every person is untrustworthy. There are good people everywhere.

The difference is like that between a small rural town where everyone knows each other and leaves their doors unlocked and keys in the car, vs. a gang-ruled favela where you need to watch your back if you step outside. Both are mostly full of good & honest people, with a few problems, but you really need to calibrate your behavior differently for each.

This has been a surprisingly common view in France* for a long time. I consider it an unfortunate attitude that breeds cynicism and allows laws to be passed that simply express a desire, rather than laws that might make things better. I understand there can be protest exhaustion and one has to pick one's battles.
