Yes, my kids and I often go back through my travel photos and reminisce. They are almost all on Instagram (plus a local copy). We’re not climbing over safety ropes to pose though.

Think of photography in that situation like a hobby, just like people might want to learn programming languages or whatever. There’s a personal sport to it - challenging yourself to get a great shot or document what you’ve seen. Each to their own.
Good question. I'm going to run an experiment.

First "go-to" for search will be my browser history.

As long as the site I know I'm looking for is in my browser history, then I'll go there and use the search feature to find other items from that site.

Bookmark all the advanced search pages I can find for sites I find myself searching regularly.

Resist mindless searching for crap content which usually just takes up time as my brain is decompressing from other tasks.

For search which is more valuable to me, try starting my search from communities such as Reddit, Twitter or following links from other points in my history.

Maybe if it's not worth going through the above steps, then it's not valuable enough to look up?

NOTE: Sites such as Twitter may not be much better than Google, but I can at least see who is pushing the link. I can determine if this person is someone I would trust for recommendations.

I bet if I did all of the above, I could put a massive dent in the number of search engine queries I do.

Any other suggestions?

The problem with forums is that you end visiting 5~10 different forums, each with their own login, and some of them might be restricted at work (not that you should visit them often).

So it's easier to have 2~4 aggregators in where all the information you desire resides, even if in each of them there are different forums.

A unified entry point helps adoption.

I always asked myself this question: does this kind of attacks try to authenticate to every single IP address (for loop, excluding ranges from Google, Microsoft, Apple...) or does it penetrate the victim network first by executing some random file from the internet that the victim downloaded?
After the volcano erupted in 2010, the government launched a PR campaign in winter 2011 to counter the projected tourism drop. It specifically targeted "inspired" and "enlightened" travelers to come see the "unique" landscape.

Also in 2011, WOWair debuted with it's $99 flights to Iceland.

Cane here to say the same thing, e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverkeithing_High_School

Although, there's a subtle difference vs US usage: in Scotland High School is only used in the context of the name of a specific school, not as a term for the generic concept. E.g. "What secondary school did you attend?"; "I went to The High School" (meaning the Royal High School in Edinburgh). You'd never say "What high school did you attend?".
So looking at https://calculator.platform.uno/

For a calculator, these are pretty extreme numbers.
On the contrary, my circles would probably reverse image search it and then call me a fraud. My circles probably wouldn't care if I went to Iceland, though.

Can you explain why this seems so to you? Totally not my experience with visiting national parks in Korea and Japan. For one thing, much of Japans un-developed nature is such because its largely as impassable now as it was in the 1600s when Basho wrote Ooku no hosomichi. I dunno why you'd bother paving anything.

EDIT: It's also certainly not just westerners, but again, my experience has shown me that there are societies that do better at training citizens not to litter.
I don't think Apple did acquire LiquidMetal (that might be what you mean, but it reads as if you think they paid over the odds for the acquisition) -- they acquired a licence for their IP in 2010, renewed in 2012, and in 2015 established a licence in perpetuity for consumer uses of the technology (I suppose 'consumer' is a useful distinction because there may be military applications for it).

Apple has been filing its own patents for liquid metal alloys and technology since then. It's still a nascent area, but Apple has had a consistent broad thematic focus on materials science in R&D for the last ~7-8 years, so I'm not sure how one could reliably determine this licence to have not panned out.

As far as I know the only direct application of the technology we can see today remains the SIM-removal tool shipped with each iPhone.
Yeah, people die taking selfies pretty much every year on one of our local hikes here in Washington. It's the easiest trail with a spectacular view(~1200ft of gain) in the entire metro area, so people flock to it in droves. It's a hike out to a cliff that looks down on a valley floor.

Every single "outdoorsy" girl on Tinder has a picture of themselves there, standing in front of the precipice.

There's also the easiest snowy mountain in the state, which everyone hikes up every year in tennis shoes as soon as the trailhead opens. One year Search & Rescue was called 4 times in one week because some hikers got stranded in the snow because they chose not to do any basic research about the conditions and assumed that since they wear tennis shoes during the winter, hiking through foot-deep snow in them is definitely okay. That week the county sheriff went on the news and asked people to please stop hiking that mountain for a couple of months.

I'd like a plan where I pay any amount of money I want a month and it donates to websites I visit proportionally to the time I spend on them. I do something similar with Patreon, donating $1/mo to several creators I support. The point is that while it's not much, it's great as a principle, and would work very well at scale.

The Brave browser has something similar. I found it a bit subpar, but it's a good start.
Thanks for the quick change. That's definitely better.

Unfortunately, most European countries aren't federal states, and so dividing them by "state" (more like region, county, department or province) makes little sense. Although, that being said, I am confident that Google would find "2000 Capital Region" correctly, no matter where I search from. (Can't really test it, since Google is clever enough to base the post code on where I'm searching from.)

I'm sorry it's a bit long, TL;DR you need to be explicit about people you trust. Those people do the same an then thanks to the small world effect you can establish your trust to any entity that is already trusted by some people.

No global ranking is the key. How good some information is, is relative and depends on who do you trust (which is basically form of encoding your beliefs). And yes, you can avoid information bubble much better than now but writing more when I'm so late to the thread seems a bit pointless.

We are actually pretty good at comprehending some complicated behaviors. Look at the social domain. Or outfielders catching fly balls.
When consuming, it's never for free, unless it's a hobby.

Look at the Hacker News homepage right now and count the websites and projects created and maintained as hobbies. If it's not a hobby and it's not paid, then the content you're viewing is an advertisement.

From an economic point of view, the problem with free content is that it's killing the paid alternatives. This is capitalism and in terms of price it's a race to the bottom. And you can't beat a zero price tag.

Just an example, how many visitors of Hacker News still use a @gmail.com email address or a free Dropbox account? By my estimation it's the vast majority, judging by the comments I've been reading. So we are talking about a demographic that earns well (compared with the average) and that doesn't blink when paying for lattes, but that is unable to pay for services that keep their email or data safe. And then you see people outraged whenever new limits are imposed on the free accounts, which is quite unbelievable.

Not trying to shame anyone in particular here and I understand that this is simply how the market works, my rant is basically about human nature. We consume, but we never learned to give back unless we are forced and you can see this in everything we do, like for example in our relationship with nature. In my mind the problems with the environment that we've created are the same problem.
Writing a microservice in Golang which communicates over gRPC

The New York Times stopped behaviorally targeting in Europe without much consequence [1]. I don't think we can reject the hypothesis that adtech is largely a scam, with targeting being done more so adtech companies can "differentiate" themselves than for any benefit to publishers.

One thing to bear in mind is that while the papers tend to just elide over it with some references, and the popsci representations of these discussions tend to skip over this either because they don't think anyone else will understand it, or the authors don't understand it themselves, is that there are assumptions built into these declarations, and it can help to dig into them. It's not a bad thing that there are assumptions; they're entirely necessary to make the questions something amenable to serious analysis, since the infinite space of all possible physics isn't really something we can speak about intelligently except in some really limited ways. But you do want to keep that in mind as you read these things.

Generally some physics are carried over from the real universe, and you want to look at how much. For instance, in this case, we carry over a very general-relativity-inspired gravity, which is then modified anyhow since GR-gravity wouldn't work. I've also seen another paper which was based on the premise "Assuming the basics of string physics are correct and we only vary the number of spatial and temporal dimensions, is life possible?" It's an interesting question, but "assuming the basics of string physics" is a big beginning. It doesn't invalidate the results, you just have to consider the results in the context of that.

The objection to 4-space is that you can't have any stable orbits with an inverse-cube law of gravitation. As for the natural question "why can't we just assume inverse square gravity then, if we're trying to build a universe where life could exist?", and the answer is, you can! But you make it very hard on yourself to write a sensible, published paper in the process, because you've taken a huge step away from all known gravity theories and you're now on your own.

I've often mentally noodled around with the idea of a two-dimensional universe based on a cellular automata theory, but in which one of the things the cells can do is be split in half (or quarters) somehow, with some defined mechanism for interacting with the original outer cells, and then the ability to further recursively split inside, and where the clock ticks, say, twice as fast in the split cells, so you end up with a universe that is (presumably) Turing complete, and participants may end up with the ability to perform infinite computations in finite time due to the split mechanisms. Presumably, if something like this could be defined, some sort of life could run in it; it seems to me than any Turing-complete (suitably modified with our often-also-elided assumptions about being finite-but-large-enough to act more like a Turing machine and less like a state machine, even if it is finite) environment can support life, on some level or other, even if by simulating some other more congenial environment. And the space of "physics" that permits Turing machines strikes me as very, very large compared to the space of "physics" that is "like ours, but just slightly tweaked". But you can't really get a math-heavy physics paper out of that idea.

It look very interesting, and I am a bit surprised to see how a tree structure can deliver such high performances in retrieving the data. Querying a long period of time mean that each top node has to be walked to the bottom, right? Isn't that fairly expensive?

The aggregations on node level are also interesting. It is something that also the company I work for (https://www.energy21.com) does for calculations, but we use a relational database and a notification-based system for performing the recalculations and keeping the aggregations up to date.

Cool stuff.
Boy, must have been a fun ride down the slippery slope from don't have kids to go on a murder spree.

> despite the environmental cost of your continued existence, you feel that you could make a positive (net) difference with the rest of your life?

I definitely do not feel that. I recognize that essentially every person is a net negative on the world (especially myself). But I have already been born and there's nothing I'm willing to do to change that at this time.

I mean I get that people like having kids, but at least acknowledge how stupid it is to have one and then recycle or whatever like it makes some difference.

This is not off topic at all by the way. The article is on the cost parents pay to give birth. But ignores the fact that parents are getting an unbelievable discount by offloading the environmental costs to the rest of the world. If we were serious about combatting climate change, having a child would be all but prohibitively expensive.
>I welcome any attempts to build a more organized internet. I don't think the communal book pile approach is scaling very well.

Let me know if I misunderstand your comment but to me, this has already been tried.

Yahoo's founders originally tried to "organize" the internet like a good librarian. Yahoo in 1994 was originally called, "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web"[0] with hierarchical directories to curated links.

However, Jerry & David noticed that Google's search results were more useful to web surfers and Yahoo was losing traffic. Therefore, in 2000 they licensed Google's search engine. Google's approach was more scaleable than Yahoo's.

I often see several suggestions that the alternative to Google is curated directories but I can't tell if people are unaware of the early internet's history and don't know that such an idea was already tried and how it ultimately failed.

An alternative theory, and I think much larger reason for the destruction of the family unit is that individualism was heavily marketed by mainstream media through the 20th century. People shifted their wants and desires in marriage from one of creating a family unit to that of finding personal enlightenment.

The excellent documentary The Century of the Self covers the evolution of marketing, the baby boomers and the psychology behind individualism:

You will probably be surprised when I state that I agree with you in general.

Nobody wants a dictatorial state, which puts you under constant surveillance and jumps on you for the smallest of infractions (Singapore being again a great example).

I do feel, however, that this Instagram self promotion shit has gotten so badly out of hand, that drastic measures may really be justified.

As the article explains Iceland's nature is very fragile. Hell! They even employ speicalists to determine if any elfs or trolls are impacted by roads construction[1].

Now, you may think of this what you want, but to the people of Iceland this is important. And assholes, which metaphorically shit on their living room carpet for fun, profit and self promotion really don't deserve lenient treatment.

So. no! I would't recommend such treatment for a couple youngsters that got a little loud after a few drinks, or for a tourist who makes an innocent mistake.

But self entilted scum, who feel they have a god given right to abuse anything and anybody, destroy fragile nature intentionally for that "great shot" (which was taken hundreds of times anyway) despite being fully informed that their action is illegal, well, yeah. I wouldn't have a problem with that and actually think it would make everybody's life better. As a matter of fact: There's a level of assholery where I would deem my suggestion absolutely proportional.

YMMV, of course.

Edited to add : You added the second link (three strikes law) later and I think you should have added an edit tag, since it's an actual change to the whole semantics of your comment.

I think that introducing a trait, which only can be found in the American justice system and is mostly (if not entirely) geared towards minorities and is actually outright racist as an answer to my comment is pretty much a strawman.

Adding it later without tagging that fact makes it intelectually dishonest too.
