GA today is much more than just pageview analytics. With something like Google Tag Manager, you can have non-technical staff add in event tracking for stuff like form completion or file downloads, without needing to get developers involved. Reporting for stakeholders is also robust because of its integration with Google Data Studio, Google Sheets and other related tools.

Ultimately though, GA wins because these organizations outsource web development and digital marketing work to agencies or contractors, and they are the ones that make the tooling decisions. GA is a known quantity, so even if their contract isn't renewed, a new agency will be able to take over the account fairly frictionlessly.

And there are more contractors that are GA-focused than there are for Matomo, and that's important when you're tasked with shopping around for agencies.
Too late for me to edit my comment but for anyone curious, I asked Michelin for clarification and it turns out the tire "spokes" are made from a composite rubber and resin embedded fiberglass. So it has the flexibility/movement of rubber but is high strength from the resin embedded fiberglass. It's on an aluminum hub just like any other tire.
We cannot know of course, there is no Twin Earth where Taylor Swift is president, nobody likes pizza, and I or Medium had done things differently. I can only ponder the odds of my personal blog becoming popular vs a story on Medium becoming popular. Both may be very small, but it should be clear that the odds are still greater in the Medium route.

Tags allow visibility to people perusing topics on Medium, or getting emails about those topics. The SEO boost is clearly greater, and Medium is unlikely to go down if a flood of traffic arrives. And the possibility of "editors pick/best of" etc is obviously greater, since it exists at all. And besides, since I am not famous, leveraging a famous domain lends enough credibility for more people at the margins to read what I wish to say.

So my particular outcome aside, I think it good advice for any internet rando, including myself, to leverage the power of such a platform while the benefits seem nonzero. Though I understand people's reservations (such as this article!), they seem overstated or else to ignore completely the clear advantages, even if they are only potential advantages.
So you're saying you were beyond all influence so they just should have left you alone? At that point they should have expelled you- did you ever think of the damage you were doing to the rest of the school population by your actions?

Bizarre pentaquark turns out to be a new kind of subatomic 'molecule'
I'm a lot like you - work from home, spend most of my time interacting with people through non-physical mediums, get very lonely often.

I've found biking to be an exceptional way to meet new people and break out of the lonliness funk I fell into after moving to a new city where I knew no one. Most shops organize group rides at all skill levels, and most cities have bike groups. It's a wildly social sport, and most rides end at cafes or breweries. It gets me out of the house and there's an instant camaraderie that comes with sweating with a group of people for a couple hours on a long ride.

Ola/Uber cars are mostly new taken on loan in India.

China has shown the way to do the transfer. Super high taxes for registration of a petrol/diesel car and free registration for an electric one. Build cars at home and subsidise its components.

No hand-waving required. Just make it more affordable. Let capitalism finish the job.
I would surmise that we can solve the loneliness problem without going back to having larger families which would only place more stress on the environment hastening our eventual extinction. The crux of the matter is having opportunities for meaningful social interactions daily. While this may have been provided by family in the past, there is no reason this has to be so as far as I can tell. If we can't solve the problem I would still rather have people able to choose their own paths in the world rather than have some arbitrary and oppressive system imposed upon them.

Could you be reversing the roles? It could just as well be the case that it's the "liberation of men from the home and from conservative sexual values" that is the explanation. There's not a lot of real data on what people actually want in terms of relationships. But some attitudes have been quite stable over the last 50 years. For example, women's ideal number of kids has been stable at about 2.5 since the 1970s: https://ifstudies.org/blog/how-many-kids-do-women-want. Anecdotally, it seems like it's usually men that are less interested in settling down, not women.
I wondered this for most of a decade myself.

It turns out that human beings absolutely depend on narrative stories to understand and relate to the things in their world.

Narratives, of course, have characters. Characters without identity are like an itch that must be scratched, because the narrative is central to integrating the thing the narrative is about (bitcoin) into a normal human being’s life. We are social animals and cannot truly consider the “what” independent of the “who”. (Even the “why” is related to the “who”, because it relates to the motivations of the character in the narrative).

The other bit of wisdom I was able to intuit out of this conclusion is that it is absolutely essential to make sure you are constantly crafting and promulgating your own narrative to everyone you know or who might know or know about you. Humans are so narrative-desperate that they will fill in and manufacture a narrative for you (which may or may not reflect any objective reality whatsoever) if they are not provided one in advance.

Tell your own story, loud and often, otherwise others will invent one and tell it for you.
Catching Rust with Deep Learning (PoC)
I can relate to every sentence you wrote, minus certain details.

I like and enjoy my coworkers but our respective interests are too dissimilar. The interactions at work never go deeper than the current objective or niceties. This is completely fine (for now) but in the future I would love to be on a true team.

Going home is indeed meh. As much as it feels nice to unwind, I'd much rather unwind with my gang.

I used to be on a sports team and lived morning, day, and night with my boys. Even though life was chaotic, it was incredible to have a gang. One thing I know for certain is that I could do more to gain that back. Short-term I plan on (1) joining an adult sports league and (2) hit up the super interesting people I've met since moving.

But long-term I believe lifestyle redesign is the only solution to our highly atomized world. I look to the past for ideas.

I think you minimize the impact of scrolling. I fine scrolling to be extremely distracting and annoying when the material could have been presented without requiring scrolling.

On my computer I can resize windows and within some apps such as my email app the display view so that it meets what is optimal for me and not some generalized value. It is not unreasonable to expect the text presented to me to reflow to meet my preference.

There are different kinds of loneliness. I suppose the worst is when all apply.

You lack family, you have coworkers, you have random humans in the area, you didn't mention any sort of buddy. So have 2 or 3 out of those 4.

I'm bummed about spending the last quarter century without a buddy. Family and coworkers and random humans do not substitute. Maybe I have no time for it, but I also think it takes a certain kind of environment. The shared environment of an Internet-free childhood neighborhood and school created the right conditions.
Ehm, yes Google et al are very bad, but they are not the worst possible scum. If you think that, then you lack imagination.

Luis CK once said the choice between marriage and staying single is like the choice between being frustrated and being lonely.

As someone originally from a second-world country I can say that I feel people have it good these days in terms of their basic needs for survival. When you're not fighting for something, it's easy to feel like you're not fulfilled and it's hard to rally with others who are fighting for basic needs.

My words were slightly carelessly chosen, but I think it's reasonable to say "...otherwise he's highly likely to grow up to be an asshole and raise his kids to be assholes". Some people do grow out of it, some people do learn decent behaviour of their own volition, but that's far from guaranteed. I do wonder what proportion of those people who "grew out" of being a bully actually got away scot-free and just changed their ways ex nihilo, and what proportion realised that they were gradually becoming a pariah and decided to sort their act out.

Conversely, I can't think of many people who were genuinely kind and decent children but grew up to become nasty thugs; the only examples that spring to mind involve severe trauma or brain injuries.
I'm looking forward to exploring this space in the next 1-2 release cycles of Zig. I have some ideas that will make debug and release-safe builds of zig code actually safe with regards to use-after-free and related memory issues.

The programmer will still be required to adhere to C-like manual memory semantics, with the difference being the language runtime catches safety mistakes. And then of course in bottlenecks the safety checks can be omitted.

If I accomplish my goal, the difference between safety/performance trade-off of Rust and Zig will be that Rust's release mode is both safe and fast, whereas Zig code has the simplicity but the programmer has to choose between performance and safety per scope.
> the liberation of women from the home and from conservative sexual values.

Everyone is unhappy, married people on average are happier than unmarried, religious people are on average happier than unreligious people.

The sexual and feminist revolution got some 'splainin to do.

Of course, my view, the answer isn't "liberating women from the bonds of motherhood and family" but empowering women and supporting them in arguably the most powerful and most important thing one human can actually do in this world: bring new life into it.

I think the issue here is that basically all of the wealthy game companies are constantly copying game mechanics from each other that if any of them tried to start litigating over similar games, the whole thing would explode in their face.

Hence why when PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds tried to sue Epic, they did it in South Korea.

Also, FWIW, I found this online: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/273935/Texas_court_affir...

(admittedly, that ruling makes sense, game mechanics would need to be patented, not something you copyright)
It can also be linked to the rise of individualism, an essential part of the capitalist ideology.
I always felt that my mother, as a traditional housewife, seemed rather lonely, and that she blossomed once she started working outside the home. But the social support she provided for my dad and us kids took a hit. I would argue the net effect was still a positive one for the family.

That makes sense. What do you think about taking regular MRI scans and tracking a growth over time? If biopsies were reserved for fast-growing lumps, then there shouldn't be any harm in collecting a sequence of images. I know MRIs are expensive and take a long time, but I'd gladly jump into an MRI machine for a few hours once a year. And then maybe once every 6 months when I'm in my 60s.

I know that humans are weird and different, and all of us have weird lumps and spots that show up on a scan. My proposal is to just track each spot and keep an eye on them over a period of months or years. We already do this with mole mapping, and MRI scans allow us to do "mole mapping" for our entire body.

From an interview about mole mapping [1]:

> Dr. Curtis: So, generally, what I tell patients is if they have a lot of moles, they should get mole mapped, or if they even have a lot of funny looking moles to them. They might not have a ton, but at the same time, they still might have enough that they are curious about them and they're hard to track, if they're hard to know if they're new or changing.

> Interviewer: Let's talk about the benefits of having this procedure done because there are a lot of them. First and foremost, it can save lives.

> Dr. Curtis: Yes, it can. It can save lives in the way that we can find melanoma earlier and thinner when it is the absolute most survivable.

> Interviewer: And what are some of the other benefits as well?

> Dr. Curtis: So you can catch new moles that could be just benign, not changing, that are not melanoma, which are important to know about. You can also tell if your moles are going away. As you get older some of your moles do go away and it can track that. So it gives you peace of mind. And it can reduce the number of biopsies as well on patients.

Evan did you downvote ?
I’ve asked this in a previous thread but didn’t get much of an answer: what can a business do to proactively fend off issues with cloud providers shutting them down.

I’ve heard GCP (or was it AWS?) is less likely to shut you down if you bill on account vs using a credit card.

Are there any other things we can do to reduce problems?

Would asking for an account manager help? Would buying reserved instances help?

Is there a minimum spend that gets you more attention and priority? Eg 100/month vs 1k/month vs 10k/month etc?

Any other advice?

I think if you changed your first sentence to simply "Turing should be a minor figure in computing history compared to his contemporaries" it would still be controversial but your comment would not be so grey.

>"This has created money silos, where the US aristocracy will take hundreds of billions in loses to capture a market and then extract value in monopolistic ways."

I was curious about the above sentence. Who is the aristocracy in the context of startups? Are you referring to the VCs? If so don't the VCs not care about the "class" of the founders of a startup as long as they think there's money to be made from their company?
While I appreciate your thoughts and prayers for my future endeavors, know that you will likely be disappointed: the beauty of open source is that it endures on the strength of its ideas alone -- and telling a group of people to stop working on a technology simply because you find alternatives scary is unlikely to be convincing. One of the most important lessons I have drawn from the many open source communities that Joyent has participated in is that large communities are not necessarily stronger ones -- and that sometimes the smallest communities are the strongest of all. In this regard, software communities are reflections of their shared values, a notion that I expanded on at length in a Node Summit talk a few years ago.[1] So if by asking me to "turn in" you are asking me to forsake my own engineering values for purposes of your comfort, well, no, I'm afraid that isn't going to happen.

Arguably this all comes down to economics/capitalism.

Unpaid favors to family aren't measured in GDP and can't be taxed. Breaking down extended family into individual workers is good for the economy. Having stay-at-home moms work while sending their kids to group childcare is also more economically efficient.

What's good for the economy may not be good for individual humans though. We aren't homo economicus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_economicus
To everyone recommending adding more restrictions to the cars that can be driven for rideshare companies, please, I don't know where you live but India is not at all as rich as your country. There's no infrastructure to support electric cars not to mention no drivers who can actually buy it. Here's an example, today I rode Uber for one journey for one hour and paid 500 Rs (7 USD). In US I pay more than 10USD for a few miles (may be 15 minutes) only. Do you really think this guy is going to buy an electric car?

Yes it's a PR campaign, elections may be over but reelected government has to show that its better than past and what better way to make empty promises, which cost nothing.

FCC’s Ajit Pai: “I hate robocalls as much as you do”
Yes. NASA Glenn Research Center in Ohio has one, I believe. They were building it when I was an intern ~6 years ago.

Of course, Glenn also has high temperature electronics. Memory is hard to come by, but simple analog and digital circuits are feasible (enough for data digitization, multiplexing, some forward error correction, and transmission to orbital assets).

Here are a couple papers on the idea of all-high-temperature-electronics designs (which I think are a lot more realistic and effective than a mechanical automaton, as fun as that sounds) for a long duration lander design (can be adapted to a rover, etc, as well) related to the work I did:

There's a recent review essay of Houellebecq's work by a Dutch populist that goes into this topic a little bit. Well worth a read IMO, even if his conclusions are quite extreme.[0]

I would say it's important to look beyond simple labels of "good" and "bad" and think of the situation in terms of trade offs. Feminism has greatly helped some portions of the population and cost others greatly as well. Just like with any other culture or ideology, there really is no free lunch.

Going by the thresholds above (I don't know that they are correct), sitting on $10M in assets would require a 7.5% annual income return to reach the $750k threshold. That sounds very unlikely, if the person is living on passive investment income.

Even with a well-performing stock or real estate portfolio, to have that level of returns you are mostly talking about unrealized gains. Those would not count as income if someone is living in equilibrium, growing their assets over time. You would only realize those investment gains as income if you were liquidating your assets to fund a lavish but limited duration lifestyle.

Edit: noting your addendum, I guess we're looking at the difference between a technical implication (you must have this income if you have these assets) versus a behavioral trait (most people don't live frugally or complacently with big piles of assets)...?
”what if rather than iterating thru the array from the 0th element to the length of the array, you instead started from the last element and iterated backwards, until you hit zero?”

That used to be common in assembly, as it leads to smaller and faster code on many systems.

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2823043/is-it-faster-to-..., which also shows how times have changed, with many answers calling this premature optimization.
I don't think you're quite getting how a lot of these monitoring systems work. They actually have AI's, (more like expert systems), reading your messages and viewing your images in as close to real-time as possible. These alerts are automated. There is rarely a common sense applying human in the loop...

and that's the problem. Humans are not even engaged in the process until the alerts have gone out. That's not cool. I mean, sure, they get around the problem you bring up, every image is going to get looked at super quickly, but the solution is worse for society than the problem. (At least it is in my opinion.)

So those photos would never sit on the service provider's servers for that long without being examined.
