I visit StackOverflow on a daily basis so I haven't seen this - I just tried in incognito mode, and wow, this wasn't an exaggeration!

I've always felt like the owners of SO have had good intentions, and for the most part felt like I trusted them.

But there are now some worrying signs - first they allowed obtrusive ads onto SO, and now this looks like a PI data-grab. Clamouring for PI is always worrying, because it means that PI has value to them - but why?
As the beam diverges, you need larger and larger receive antennas to discriminate between the modes, more aperture than you need to compensate for path loss. That seems to be why OAM research is now mmWave (better collimating) and more applicable to short range backhaul.
> I think if you looked at the early years of feminism, you would a similar hatred of men.

But that is only relevant if the situations are similar. But for example, it is the most "feminist" countries that grants the most paternity leave. And the reason why the US have unwavering laws on divorce, custody and alimony is to protect the traditional family model where divorce is discourage and women didn't have career to fall back on.
Yeah, it makes me really sad that (particularly in the incel case) young men looking for a support community basically end up being radicalised. Lessons for society as a whole, I suppose.
This is complicated, because it's not really SO that's the essential part. The knowledge on SO is essential.

That's not to say that SO isn't playing an extremely valuable role in helping to collect that knowledge and organize the community. Community management is hard. I do want SO to make money, I want the devs to be successful, I think they should be compensated for their work.

But products that are built on (what I would call) the commons are in a weird place. I'm cognizant of the fact that most of SO's value comes from the fact that ordinary people contribute to it without any compensation, and that part of the reason ordinary people contributed to it in the first place was because the developers were able to capitalize on a kind of social spirit.

That's not to say that SO is wrong here. TBH, I don't think advertising your own products on a home page is crossing any reasonable line, particularly when most people are getting to SO from search engines anyway. But I do want to push back a little bit against the idea that SO created something magical out of the ether. (Not that I think you're saying that, or trying to say that).

SO is essential only because the devs were able to get ordinary people to give up large swaths of information, for free. And part of the reason they were able to do that was because they projected a kind of business style that resonated with those people. Would SO be as successful today if it had run ads with trackers in them from the beginning? I don't know where the line is, but there has to be some degree of give-and-take, or there's no point in complaining when that same community decides, "nah, we don't think we want to give you free information any more."
"We <3 people who code"

...so we'll remove a useful home page and replace it with a marketing junk page which confuses everyone.
> What you're describing is a massive hack built on a foundation of sand, and its absence is NOT an indication of Wayland's "truly flawed" protocol design, which I'm certain you haven't read about anyway.

Serialized GLX was introduced by SGI before direct rendering was even possible. It is what the creators of OpenGL originally envisioned (Graphics terminals connected to servers). If anything DRI that came afterwards was the hack.

Serialized GLX doesn't make sense in every context, I agree with that. But it is great to have the option. X11 offers that option, Wayland does not. Of course you could write your own proprietary client server architecture on top of the Wayland protocol. But why reinvent the wheel?
Running a business is hard. It takes cash. As others have said (and better) it is likely that they're doing this in the hopes of raising cash. Not because they are jerks, but because they need to. So they can eat. I worry this tactic may kill the golden goose eventually, though! Newcomers may be daunted by this experience, but I'm sure they thought of that and have tested it. Easy enough to pay some college kids for an afternoon. I suspect that SO is enough of a (hacker) "household name" that newcomers will already know the legends with no help from any marketing team. As others have said, primary access is by way of search engine results.

It would be tricky to do it well and proper, but perhaps they could introduce monetary rewards for question. Take a cut of transactions, pass on cash to recipients. Could obfuscate the % of the cut by using tokens or similar.

I've definitely received answers so good I'd have paid for them! I've also had questions that were difficult enough to warrant attaching a real monetary bounty.

Perhaps another angle would be something like CodeMentor. A system where you could pay someone to mentor you, but buying from a user profile backed by the credibility of answering questions on the subject at hand.

And that is why I still buy my all my music. Digitally, but lossless, DRM-free and forever mine. Another concern to me is the limited selection on streaming services, particularly when it comes to rare and old releases.
So your point is that if you've already taken the low hanging fruit, there aren't low hanging fruit? OK then.

It sounds like this person is like any other distant parent. She’s responsible and no doubt her kids will be ok. But for her, despite her bluster and the importance of her work, I’m sad for her, and if she is like most attorneys like this, she will be too.

I don't see any effective difference between putting the data in a URL and putting the data in a local HTML file and opening the file in a browser. (And if you're going to put the data in a URL, you should probably be using a data: URL.)
OK, but how do you account for changing IP-Addresses? You would need to take one identifier that never changes.

Maybe they have machine learning which combines a couple of factors and then create long-term profiles based on the likelihood of some data belonging to the same person.

That would be illegal though.
Yeah, you need to google for a tutorial, install something like Rufus or unetbootin. Have the whole mental model about what iso files are what is a boot disk, how to fix the boot order in bios if needed, etc... Very far from trivial for most people.
> I'd be fascinated to see a historical account of that.

Well, not a hard-source, but having been alive in the 90's most women didn't consider themselves feminists in the 90s. And if pressed they'd say things like "I believe in equality but I wouldn't call myself a feminist."

Anecdotally, there was a perception that those who most loudly and immediately identified themselves as "feminist" (not unlike those who most loudly and immediately identify as men's-right-activists) had a HUGE emotional investment in the topic and saw unfairness/oppression everywhere.

Additionally, with 90's feminism at least, some women associated loud self-proclamations of feminism as a move more common to "butch" women.

Hopefully the conversation on treatment of men will make as much progress in 20 short years.
I was wondering the same thing. Most browsers limit URLs to 2083 characters.

Edit: IE is 2083, Chrome is 1032
because the questions and answers have not made them enough money. Engagement on the platform is declining due to strict editors and lazy question askers. and with a majority developer audience, the ad blockers are stopping advertising revenue.

this is when a site start compromising its stated morals. not out of greed, but out of necessity.
So construct a worldview based on a small sample size of personal stories? Sounds like what antivaxxers do.
I think it's funny that they praise the voice acting talent they got from NC because their voice acting talent was awful then.

Some of those people stuck with it though for 20+ years and now they do great dubs for "anime related games", sometimes as good as the best Japanese voice actors.
Problem with internet is that people look for the stories that support their view and ignore data and science as conspiracy.

so instead of adressing the content you are sending the content directly. brilliant. who could come up with such an amazing idea...

seriously, though: this has some marginal advantages compared to just sending the sites such as being supported as clickable in almost every program and being allowed in size restricted posts which allow arbitrarily long links
of course, but maybe not, thats why we have fun discussing it at work
I mentioned France because EU regulations are better than elsewhere for customers, you also asked specifically about Europe. It's hard to find a bad review or a disgruntled customer anywhere, they consistently rank high in all articles or reports you might find about registrars / hosts, and they do not advertise themselves.

Also, they're not a newcomer, but a relatively big player ( despite the lack of advertising ) and independent, not part of one of those American umbrella companies with dozens of fake subcompanies who couldn't care less about individual cases.

I am based in Asia and even here they have an excellent reputation. I happened to find them at a time they were short on hands and releasing new products, their replies to my issues were slow and I was not happy about it -- full disclosure. Yet here I am recommending.

I was contacted directly by the area manager and offered compensation in the form of free services after I complained. In my experience they are serious, and I haven't found any better as yet.
One idea I've thought about in this same area is 'compressing' the URLs via Unicode. Suppose you limit the page contents to just [a-zA-Z0-9] and about 15 special characters, and space/newline. Documents would be rendered without any formatting aside from what you can do with a monospace font (all caps, white space, tables, etc.).

This allows about 80 unique characters - about 6.5 bits per character. There are dozens of thousands of visible Unicode characters, at least 8 bits each. Using modern compression techniques you can probably get around 4 or maybe even 5 characters of the real text into one visible Unicode character. This would compress the messages so that you can share them over SMS/Twitter (split into a few parts perhaps) or Facebook without posting giant pages of text.

The data could start with a 'normal' not-rare-Unicode character indicating the language, and the same character at the end of the stream to make it easy to copy paste:

a<unintelligible Unicode garbage>a

Multiple translation tables could exist for different languages. Japanese and Indic languages have ~50 alphabet characters but no capitals, so I think you would be able to get similar compression regardless of input language.

Users would go to a website that does decompression with JS and just paste in the compressed text to view the plaintext. And vice versa. If the compression format is open then anyone can make and host a [de]compressor.

Version codes may be useful to add, so that more efficient compression techniques don't break backwards compatibility. The first release of the English compression algorithm would start and end with 'aa', a better algorithm released a few years later would use 'ab', etc. Similarly the version code could be used to indicate a more restricted set of characters to allow for better compression - [a-z0-9] and . , space newline is 30 characters which is only 5 bits per character before any further compression.
> It's simply eating more calories than a person needs in a day.

This is true but without explaining the issue. Gary Taubes compared it to asking why a theater is over capacity, and getting the answer "because more people entered than exited." Well, yes, but why?

You're at a healthy weight because you don't eat more calories than you need in a day. I'm obese because I do. But those facts don't explain why you don't and I do. It probably isn't because you count calories more diligently.
Lol in Germany i was only ever allowed to use non-programmable calculators all the way through high school, college, university.

> Appearing as high in Google search seems impossible, but if the community got behind it this could fix the SE problems once and for all.

There would also be very little traffic, because "the community" are generally the people answering questions and explaining things, they aren't asking questions. Without the people needing help finding the site (Google rankings), nothing happens.
Name one modern browser (let alone “most”) that does that. I’ll wait.

PS: IE6-9 don’t count as modern browsers, and haven’t for a long time. To my knowledge, they were the only browsers to limit to exactly 2083 characters.
When I was in Finland for a few months, we used Resq Club for this. I loved it. Wasn't as cheap as one might expect of leftover food that would otherwise be thrown away, but it's still worth it. I think the operate also in other northern European countries.

From what I’ve heard the first public betas of 11 and 12 were quite stable compared to this.

Which is fine, betas are not supposed to be bug free. But people who had great experiences with the 11 & 12 public betas might be lulled into a false sense of safety.
The whole digital music industry has left DRM behind - I buy my music losslessly and from a number of stores without any strings attached. Of course this can only apply to purchasable content - streaming service obviously need to rely on DRM.
I don't think you are entirely wrong, but IME bumping an old forum thread will, more often than not, result in other members getting annoyed at necroing a thread. And while discussion does somewhat get replaced with like buttons, I have seen entirely too many "+1" posts on forums; people want to do something to show they like/agree with a poster even when they have nothing constructive to add.

Although on this site, I don't think I'm alone in only downvoting posts that are flamebait or factually incorrect, rather than opinions I disagree with. There is a bit of an echo chamber effect here, but it is nowhere near as bad as Slashdot or most forums get.
Is there a way to make this clickable? At least in FF Android it isn't.
You’re right, but it’s absolutely possible to optimize wind and tyre noise too, but it doesn’t make much sense unless you eliminate engine noise. There are already tyres marketed for EVs that claims to reduce noise. EVs also tend to optimize for lower air resistance as well, since it increases range. Seems like we’re getting cameras instead of mirrors too now.

Another thing that would help a lot is if we can keep asphalt smooth. Driving an EV on fresh asphalt is incredibly satisfying, as it seems to eliminate most of the tyre noise. Maybe we could have automate vehicles laying down a thin layer of that rubbery material (bitumen?) regularly?

Id also claim that winds and tyre noise is less annoying than engine noise. It’s more like a water fall, and don’t penetrate walls as much as, say, a deep rumbling truck engine.
I'm saying that it's a perfect waste of time to look at the problem of undue consolidation and monopolization from the perspective of personal income taxes. The same consolidation and monopolization trends have been happening in all of these income tax regimes.

I thought Jobs was meant to fix this, providing a route to profits while also being something devs want.

I wonder how much revenue it generates?

EDIT: Answering my own question:

Their cheapest package (which allows max 1 job ad at any time) is around $7,500/year. They have 5572 jobs advertised right now, so I guess it's pulling in 30-41M a year.
Vitamin C is a myth, Vitamin D3 however does affect the immune system. Best taken with magnesium and calcium.

Also important for bone health. Most people would benefit from vitamin D3 supplements in the darkest months.

"Today's graduating PhDs use Unix, X, Emacs, and Tex. That's their world. It's often the only computing world they've ever used for technical work.

Twenty years ago, a student would have been exposed to a wide variety of operating systems, all with good and bad points.

New employees in our lab now bring their world with them, or expect it to be there when they arrive. That's reasonable, but there was a time when joining a new lab was a chance to explore new ways of working.

Narrowness of experience leads to narrowness of imagination."
Maybe I don't get something, here, buy as I understand it, the url contains all the data so you are effectively providing the information wherever the link is posted. Thus, if the posted link is gone, the data is gone, the generator-webpage doesn't really have anything to do with it.

You might be right, but my guess is that 7's reputation for luck isn't famous enough to make a difference, and in fact it's common because other numbers seem too "unrandom".

We could test by asking people to pick numbers less than 100. I bet people would focus on odd numbers, especially those greater than 50, not ending in 5 or not having both digits the same.

At this point not too different algorithms from what we use for self driving could detect situations where noise would be helpful to air safety.

For example a crowded downtown road in rush hour. People will obviously know there are cars in the street. Why add to urban noise pollution.

Or even if there are cars in front of you and behind you, you probably don’t need sounds.

They could probably increase pricing on their jobs product, whatever they’re charging. I think it’s the best out there. I found the way they list remote positions and sometimes salary range to be highly effective in finding a job.
Depends how rotten I feel, but decongestants to clear the sinuses/nasal passages and aspirin or paracetamol to help control body temperature definitely help make it suck less.

That happens like 10% of the time if you are lucky.

Rest of it can be kinda monotonous? Like, getting my daughter from bed through breakfast, dressing up, and walking to kindergarten. Or getting her to walk all the way to her friends house for a play date. Or getting her dinner, showered, and to bed ...

I still like it, but the day to day is stressful and monotonous
