Don't discount your own feelings. They are real, and are forever with you. Whether you can come to terms with the situation or push for a compromise is something that you will have to answer for yourself. I think most healthy relationships are built on communication/understanding/compromise, so you should be able to express issues and needs and reach an equitable arrangement.
If you have kids, especially, get a browser add-on that disables recommendations and comments. eg. Youtube Unhooked, Distraction Free Youtube, etc.

Not sure how that plays with rules about how you can place ads etc, but <iframe> with a feature policy can stop access to audio I think.
> 25% of all small business websites are missing an H1 tag.

This SEO advice seems dated. Pretty sure Google doesn't care about which tags you use anymore, just that there's a visual heading (some big text at the top of the page).

In your research, did you find that sites without an H1 tag performed worse, SEO-wise? The article doesn't seem to mention this.

> SMB websites with a meta description rank 17% higher than websites without

Hard to tell if this is causal or just correlational. Maybe sites that have meta tags just tend to be better, SEO-wise, unrelated to the fact that they have meta tags.

I don't think you should give this advice unless you add meta tags to your site and then see an increase in your organic search traffic.
It will always be a game of cat and mouse. Even with Neural networks involved :D.

Basically, that's what it is. The park or local government is selling these "passes" which really amount to insurance, so that that government has the money to pay for rescues if they need to (or if rescuees don't/can't pay), and maybe also for other expenses involved in park upkeep. "Use fees" for public parks are not uncommon. Virginia State parks generally charge such fees for parking, for instance, as does Grand Canyon NP.
While the idea is cute you do realize that would have criminal repercussions for people who install said plugin in certain countries.
It actually used to be right to left, just like the language! In some formal communication it's still the case, like when news channel announce new year "one and eighty and nine hundreds and a thousand. The change to read from left to right started fairly recently in the twentieth century, along with the change of the order of alphabets from أبجدهوز to أبتثجحخ.

I'm a native Arabic speaker, and yes I still struggle to both: speak P and hear P, Put no BroPlem!
Logging isn't the hard part.

Turning raw logs into metrics and action items is what requires you to pay that engineer, and what may get you get you in trouble with the GDPR, if they do it wrong.
Ironic that content moderation is annoyingly aggressive, but ad moderation is annoyingly permissive.
My take is basically the same. The cable news media covers what their audience watches.

It's also worth noting that while MSNBC is the 2nd or 3rd most watched network (depending on the month) there are only about 1.6 million people regularly watching and that number is down 14% year over year. So even if they snub your candidate, it may not matter much at all.
"How is it supposed to know that when person A says something and when person B says the exact same words....."

I was about to argue against this but then realised its worse than you suggest.

If I as a white person used the N word to describe a black person I would be labelled a racist, whereas a black person can say it all day long. But even if I black up and say it, its even worse. But then with gender the rules are almost reversed, I can declare myself a woman and expect that to be somewhat respected.

And on the internet no one knows you're a dog, or a transvestite in black face.
I’ve found baggage claim to be nearest the exit, presumably so that one need not lug their bag the half-mile from the plane. And baggage claim needs to be outside security so it all works nicely.
I think you are misinterpreting the comment you're replying to. It's arguing that people block ads because they dislike seeing the ads they're seeing (as opposed to for privacy or resource usage concerns), not because they dislike all possible ads, which is what you're arguing against.
For one thing, Confederate slave owners are no longer among the living.
>/r/politics has become a race-to-the-bottom of polarization, but it's nowhere near as bad as T_D; a civil defense of Trump on the former will be tolerated (even if downvoted/flamed), whereas any anti-Trump sentiment on the latter results in an instant ban.

The problem is /r/politics pretends to be a general politics subreddit, while /r/the_donald is explicitly just for Trump supporters.

One reason it's surprising is that, until recently, SO was particularly resistant to allowing invasive and/or obnoxious ads.

Confluent maven repo seems unusable for all people behind a Nexus proxying external repos, which is AFAIK a very common case. So what is the problem in making the maven repo browsable?

This could be solved by making http://packages.confluent.io/maven browsable. Is there a reason that this hasn't been done?

Why cant a company like confluent fix one of the most basic issues for such a long time ?

Really sounds like they have some detailed knowledge, but yeah, no source is mentioned.
It’d be interesting to find out if similar systems exist off shore from Australia, South Africa and India among others where they could exploit this to complement desal plants for household consumption in regions where there is little groundwater but are near the coast.
You very much have to learn the ins and outs of any CAS.

That said, they can be very useful dealing with large multi-term expressions, or double-checking your work by hand, playing around with transforms, etc.

It's a tool though, and more about the insights you bring to it, than it brings to you if that makes sense.

A pointer is neither safe nor unsafe and in my view people should be expected to know what they are doing when passing pointers across concurrent threads of execution.

It's not rocket science.

Goroutines are supposed to be lightweight so it makes sense to allow lightweight communication.
It's been known that ads are commonly used to spread viruses / invasive tracking for years. And I've used adblock for almost 10 years!

Honestly, how are still allowed to execute javascript at all?! I get it if the ad-manager still executed javascript, but how is it okay to let random 3rd parties run js on your website?
I had no idea what AFL was (besides the football league). It turns out its a fuzzer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_fuzzy_lop_(fuzzer)
As a community elected moderator (https://stackoverflow.com/users/16587 ) I can tell you with certainty that moderators have no control over ads; only the development (and maybe the community team). In this case we would do the same thing the OP did, in addition we would reach out in Stack Overflow chat to the community team do inform them of the situation.
Anyone who was not 100% supportive of everything Trump did/does was removed through banning.
For any threshold (say $1, assuming you start with $1mn) and any confidence level (say 99%) there is a number of flips n such that you have over 99% probability of holding less than $1 after playing n times. On the other hand, the expected value of your wealth at that time is 1.05^n million dollars.
These days I'm doing something similar. Using only my iOS devices, and my Chromebook, for sensitive sites. On the Chromebook, I take it a step further by using the Android version of Firefox Focus. In theory, that gives me both the inherent security of Chrome OS, and security of the OS's Android container. Almost a poor man's version of Qubes OS in a way.

I'm not sure this is the best approach, and I'm becoming less comfortable with Google and Chrome OS on general principles, but I do feel more secure with iOS and Chrome OS than I do with general purpose computing devices.
What's the line between censoring and "not showing them as widely as other posts"?
Source? Obviously people have been speaking Hebrew all over the world as part of prayer and study, nobody would dispute that. But to my knowledge nobody was using Hebrew as a day-to-day language until Zionism became popular in the late 19th-20th centuries.

Brilliant resumé.
So many of the users defending The_Donald here (as if it was a serious political platform) are users that seem to comment mostly on political threads or submit only political articles. At least the form they've used so far is a bit more acceptable than average T_D post.
Thank you for trying and for following up with this detailed reply.

I was trying to help and also to discuss, but I no longer feel inclined to do either.

Yes, this is par for the course: People get mad at me for effectively communicating that there are no good solutions here, no matter how hard I try. And it becomes a new excuse to blame me for my financial problems and declare "Not my problem! I'm done here!"

I genuinely bear you no ill will, but you and I are posting on a very public forum, so I think there are larger things at stake than your feelings. Other people need to genuinely understand how this works if it is ever going to change and being too polite about this fails to get it through to people.

They just keep arguing that I must be wrong, there must be some means for someone to make money as a writer that doesn't violate any of their constraints for how to make money as a writer without being evil. And, besides, their desire to have an ad-free, whatever whatever internet is far more important than my financial difficulties.

I got these kinds of arguments even when I was literally homeless and going hungry, which I found completely mind boggling. But, to their minds, my homelessness was merely evidence that I was incompetent and there was no reason to take me seriously, not evidence that, no, seriously, most writers really just can't make the money they need in the current climate.

You have a good day. I know I can be hard to take.
Thanks for this interpretation. My first reaction was to associate destruction with physical violence or aggressive DDOS style actions. Other, more soft protests do seem more reasonable; though not entirely comfortable with then myself.
The same reason if I go to a stranger's house and start debating with them about my own political opinions they are free to kick me out.
Free enterprise and private property are generally considered fundaments of modern civil society.
Im all ears if you have an argument to the contrary.
It would be similar. Any "vouching" system is kinda like this, and how useful the system is depends on how much you trust the entity that does the vouching.

If you don't like China's social credit system, what do you think of America's "TSA PreCheck" system? It doesn't bar people from traveling, but it does give special privileges to some.

I honestly don't see a problem if some countries decided to cooperate and implement their own "tourist blacklist" system to keep out tourists who have proven to cause problems: it's their right to refuse entry to any non-citizen they wish.
I disagree that the prior comment "subtly shifts the blame" because the blame as to where the fake news lies has never been widely agreed upon. Refer to "Manufacturing Consent" by Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky. Damn near all sources of news are biased and have political agendas including the mainstream.

If you see independent journalists as pushing an "alternative" view, then you have a reasonable argument: take your facts from the most credible source. But that's not what is happening. Independent journalists are reporting on stories that the mainstream news isn't touching. And they are often doing it with long-form video evidence which is not easy to fake, especially as it is published right after said events happen. Certainly independent journalists are biased and opinionated, many believing in crazy conspiracy theories, but I've never found their opinions or theories to be contageous, and the video evidence is still very valuable.

A good example of news wthout bias (which is so hard to find nowadays) is Steve Lookner's Agenda Free TV on YouTube. There is simply nothing political about it, and it stands in contrast to everything else. And as others have already pointed out, watching news from both sides of the political spectrum (as difficult as that is) is probably the best way to get at the truth.

Finally, while I think James O'Keefe has very questionable investigative methods, there was no scam story - he was using fake information to draw out a journalist so as to extract information from the journalist. There was no evidence he was intending to publish that fake information as a story and he flatly denies that accusation, and WaPo did a follow up correcting the record (good on them).
Thank you, I've read the links, but without an example of Haskell/Scala code the benefits for any particular real problem are not clear to me.

Specifically, speaking of the second link, what happens if you need to get rid of two types of 'hell' at the same time?
They have a pretty big moat around their business.

If you want to buy advertising online you're probably gonna end up dealing with them either directly or indirectly.

Awesome post. My main issue is with the BBB reference data... to me that smells like correlation not causation. It implies a level of detail and effort spent on the page. I have a hard time believing that the reference to BBB itself serves to improve rankings...
Man if you haven't played dues ex 1 you should.
Ah yep, with you now. While I know you can register a consumer rebalance listener, tools that respond to changes in topic configs seem to do so by polling - e.g., Mirrormaker 2. https://github.com/ryannedolan/kafka/blob/KIP-382/connect/mi...
Did they pay out everything to "preferred" shareholders, leaving employees with common shares holding an empty bag?
I find it outright puzzling that CDN edge servers have not morphed into ad splicers yet, that business seems so obvious to me. The closest to a "guessplanation" I can come up with for is not happening is that there might be trust issues (overreporting/underreporting impressions) in the triangle of publisher, ad-network and CDN/ad-splicer. But I'm not convinced at all that this would outweigh the anti add-blocker advantages.
That doesn't mean the side-effect of most people avoiding spying at the same time is somehow an unwanted one.

I think most can agree here this level of spying on users is bad. Its sorta like child labor but a lot less obviously bad, in that it is obviously bad, nobody likes it, but there's enough taking advantage of it not being illegal, so its just socially tolerated thing. But once made illegal it will be looked back on like "how the hell did we think that was okay? how the hell did we willingly let it occur?"

Waze and SpotHero tackle parking-related street congestion
Hopefully at the end of the day you believe less conclusively in things that are not on scientifically 100% certain.
You can read the HTML to see if a particular SEO feature is present. Or there are tools for this. There's some talk in the office about taking my report and turning into a scanner that you could point at any website, which would be an interesting project.
I hope I can remember to ask my Dr. about this next time I go in.
This is a bang on distillation of the problem (or at least one way to view the problem, per "who controls the ranking and how it's defined").
Because that would break the unwritten confidentiality I have with the people there. And life just can't be lived by burning bridges :)
I'm not an American and not in America but I find it hard to mentally integrate comments like this when it is quite clear the Trump government is appealing to fascist ideals.

By that logic, why update Go with _any_ new features? Just because something can be used as-is doesn't mean that it can't be improved
Those sort of videos in particular have a very large replay value, as many insomniacs may play that video every night.
Why are you allowing arbitrary javascript to be served to your users?
You have open sourced tools for that. GoAccess for example. If the logs already contain the real IPs, you are already infringing GDPR. And that's all websites.
Maybe don’t edit your post next time? Especially after people have replied. That’s a very dishonest mode of discussion.
'Unable to play this video at this time. The number of allowed playbacks has been exceeded. Please try again later.'

Clearly a popular link... any clue on the content?
Just so you know, looks like you have a typo under the Guarantee section on the home page "the work isn't done until you stay it is".

I presume you meant "the work isn't done until you say it is."
Move somewhere with very cheap rent and fast internet. Bay Area, NYC and Austin are too expensive.

Look at North Carolina, cost of living there is very cheap and there is fast internet.

What is your startup idea?
Yeah no one would care about magazine style ads with an ordinary click through link. Especially if clicking resulting something useful instead of being the browsing equivalent of jumping into a dumpster fire.

The advertiser arms race has resulted in a classic tragedy of the commons. That's my diagnosis of the problem. Traditionally regulation is needed to fix that. Exactly what that entails is beyond me.
Is firefox less fingerprintable?
I hope you're not suggesting that it's impossible to write this function without such constraints. If so, you should jettison your PL as fast as you can.

In any case this is precisely the trouble I believe the typer enthusiast get into. You can keep pulling this yarn, refining your types to match the world as it exists today; meanwhile the dynamic typers forgot about this function days ago and are eating your lunch in productivity.
How is mainstream conservatism different from The_Donald? It's simply its logical conclusion.
A lot of other things have changed since then, so the difference in tone you are noticing might not have much to do with search engines. In 1996 there were only about 16 million people on the internet, and usage obviously skewed towards the more technical nerdy crowd. Now there are 4,383 million people on the internet. Which is about 57% of everyone.
We're not talking about people's houses.

In the context of business, California has already made that argument for me, making it illegal to discriminate based on political views.

I too am very sensitive to "correlation != causation" and I tried to call it out extensively in the report. I even included a chart at the bottom from the famous Spurious Correlations project... Hopefully nobody gets too carried away with the report.

It's impossible to determine causation at scale, unfortunately. One could argue that business owners who curate great BBB rankings and feature the badge are more likely to instill trust in consumers, which in turn will result in longer time on site and therefore better rankings.
1) If you use it, I'd recommend installing it locally (pretty easy with pip install mathics)
2) When doing something complex, it can be a bit slow (it relies on SymPy, which isn't a speed demon itself, plus it has to parse and interpret the Mathematica syntax, which adds overhead)
3) The subset of Mathematica that it supports is pretty much what SymPy does -- so pretty much classic mathematics and graphing rather than the knowledge based stuff like populations of countries and their GDPs or whatever that Mathematica has been adding over the last few versions.
The human in me is disgusted, but the economist in me is in absolute awe at how ruthlessly efficient and economically maximizing so many of China's actions are. The US wastes like $100k a year on its prisoners, and China turns them into assets. I'm genuinely scared at not just the prospect, but the likelihood that the China model will be the human race's dystopian future.

Easily 100k, just for testing strips or a CGM?!

I'm not sure where in Europe you are, but it's nowhere near that in the UK - testing strips are around 0.20 each, (which TBH I think is expensive, but plainly no going to cost 100k/year!).

For CGM, if you're lucky enough to get the NHS to pay for it (unlikely), it costs them around 1k for the monitor, and around £1,500/year for sensors.

Finally, insulin costs the NHS around £400/year for a T1 diabetic.
Certain nouns are "inherently definite" -- names of people or places, for example, or abstractions or things which are inherently unique. Languages which mark definiteness often differ as to whether these inherently definite nouns, or which ones of them, should be marked as such. English generally treats them like proper names -- no article, definite or indefinite. Romance languages more often require the definite article. These are just two different ways of indicating the same underlying category.
The FPH folks seem to have moved to /r/fatpeoplestories. A similar subreddit all things considered, just a lot less hateful (and not focused on the sort of doxxing that was ubiquitous on FPH), which is pretty much what we'd want I guess. Is a similar dynamic plausible for T_D? Not very clear.
It can also actively encourage good content that someone wasn't originally looking for. This is one of the things I most love about the internet. XKCD did a good job highlighting this in "The Problem with Wikipedia"

https://xkcd.com/214/

The problem we have is determining what is good content and what is bad content and who is the arbiter of what is good or bad. Something you think is bad, might be something someone else thinks is good. These determinations are highly subjective.
