Stupid question. I have been using Google Search on my work computer for the past year or so, but I haven't seen any changes to any of the sites I've visited. I use firefox with ublock origin everywhere. Do either of these prevent AMP from loading? or is it so subtle that I don't notice it?
Is the code open? Can I put this on my own server?
The "ocean" is in fact solid rock permeated with water. Even under immense pressure, the water only trickles out of this rock.

Genesis is a collection of myths.
I don't know, solving parallel algorithms homework assignments was one of the most mentally challenging things I've ever done. My brain was literally overheating sometimes :)
The easy recordability of cassette tapes had another bonus. Both tapes and records wear out a little each time you listen to them. But you could buy a record and dub it onto a tape, then listen to the tape. If you eventually wore out the tape, you still had the original record with only one playthough on it, so you could always dub it onto another tape.

It's nice these days being able to listen to music and not simultaneously feel like you're treading a slow path to destroying the music you're hearing.
I know it was mostly nonsense, but Jules Vernes’ Journey to the Center of the Earth enchanted me to no end and sent my mind imagining such undiscovered wonders, including, yes, oceans within massive caverns miles below the crust. That man was such an incredible, creative storyteller.

I don’t quite get what the implications are. The author also doesn’t seem to talk about their solution for it in the context.

When pay TV first came here, part of the deal was they weren't allowed to show ads for a certain amount of time. I remember 'ads' for other TV shows like the ABC does, but that was it.

I have no idea why someone in Australia would have Foxtel now if they don't watch sport
FPGAs aren't particularly energy efficient compared to ASIC implementations of the same hardware.
HN, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit all run on fake internet points, so does 8chan.

8chan points and requirements to get them is just a mutated form of earlier internets.

This is not about a 'high score' body count though. It's just continuing the meme, it just had to be significant.

Meme fanaticism was lightly discussed in the fiction book 'Rainbows End', we have just passed that point and moving on.

Don't think 8chan is unique, fanaticism around fairly arbitrary pro/anti Right/Left memes is also on the rise.

The internet allows us to specialise to fine points.

8chan if we look closely should point out how silly it all is, but I suspect it'll just allow another faction to do their fanatical imaginary internet point gathering.
Productivity is hard to measure. Insurance cost is easy to measure.
Mostly pick one with a big community that other are using for quick prototypes. And (as others have said) ignore scaling unless scale is what you are prototyping. Use SQL to start. (MySQL/PostGres/Etc..) It's better to denormalize if you need scale then have to normalize noSQL data if needed at the app layer (maybe that's up for debate?).

C#/.net It's the one I know the best and supported for both fast prototyping (.net MVC apps) and scale [Linux and Windows]. Desktop Apps / Mobile / AWS Lambda etc... I use MSSQL for my data, but have used MySQL in the past.
Yeah, it's common to see people who already know how to code in college. Plenty of us are working on real cs projects, and with the internet, its easier than ever with the amount of resources we have to learn with.
Pack an HDMI cable? I usually stream Netflix or play video games on those TVs
Indeed, but there have been many floods in the area. I think a lot of what is saved in writing and stories has some basis in fact. Sometimes I even wonder if tales of trolls (and similar creatures in various cultures) can be Neanderthals etc.
VLC also supports this, if you Open Network Stream.

It's funny they were included in this list, because they are strongly against including a good rewind feature. Modern video codecs refer back to previous frames a lot, so it has to be decoded forwards. It would take a ton of RAM to keep the decoded frame data for "previous" frames so you could play them in reverse. With some video files you won't notice a delay while skipping around, but some you will.
Typo in title.

I'm pretty sure you Google can sue Apple if they add a de-AMP feature to Safari on anti competitive grounds.
There are plenty of issues that should be on the table when it comes to technology workers like equity arrangements, severance at high risk companies, systems for promotions, actual vacations, open source funding, health care between employment etc. The reason it won't happen isn't because there isn't cause, or that employees would suddenly sabotage the company, but that any such organization would be a politic force. Especially in a country like the US where there are only two parties as contenders and only 50% of the eligible population votes. It doesn't take that much to change the political landscape, which is why no one can be allowed to.

Companies view everything as a cost whether it is infrastructure, health care or rights. They lobby broadly to minimize those costs and to keep their own position. And that is unlikely to change. If there is any argument against unions it is that it is already too late. Unions ultimately work by having a war chest for strikes. The company, or the employer organization, then have their own war chest. Tech companies have so much cash, and the cost of living is so high, that a strike wouldn't even be thinkable for many many years. Making an effective union impossible.
Where I am at the moment we're running clusters of 400-800 containers sitting behind nginx instances and even thought we own nginx+ licenses, we've found the consul-template + SIGHUP route to be totally fine, even at a churn of maybe a dozen contained a minute everything still seems to be working fine. If a particularly busy node dies then we occassionally see a few requests get errors back, but Nginx's passive healthchecking (ie. checking response codes and not sending traffic to an upstream with a ton of 500's being returned) seems to handle all of that ok.

The only time our tried and tested consul-template + SIGHUP method is every unsuccessful (and we've ended up jusy having to put processes in place to stop this) is if we have the same nginx handling inbound connections to the cluster under high load and we try and respawn all the containers at once. Then things start to go wrong for 5 minutes or so then back to normal.

While "the occasions error response" isn't perfect, I suspect that for most use cases it's good enough, so I'd still be interested in knowing more specifically what happened to that nginx...
From practical experience, it’s very common for people to find their phone (iPhone or other) burning through tons of battery when they go out in the sticks, and this is reliably fixed by turning off cellular data. So either it’s not as easy as you say, or they haven’t bothered solving the problem.
I see this claim repeated often. It seems logical enough, but is there any real evidence for it?
Not Your Father's Bots -- AI Is Making Fake News Look Real
For a long time I only rarely saw TV with commercials, usually at friends.

I actually enjoy seeing new commercials, and so long as I only watched TV at friends a couple of times a year, I found it enjoyable.
Agreed. I had a mixtape that my wife made for me back when we were dating in the late ‘90s, and it stayed on loop in my car tape player for years. To this day, my pitch memory of those songs is still about a half step flat.
Another instance of the scientific community converging to a consensus congruent with the Genesis account of creation. Genesis 2:5-6 "the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth ... but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground."

Two other notable instances: the universe had a beginning (a Big Bang) and evolution occurred generally in the order described in Genesis 1 (nothing, plants, water creatures, avians, land animals, humans).

An old story not transgressing truth (truths that are being progressively discovered in more detail) should not be easily ignored. Though it is indeed a story for a spiritual purpose, not one meant to match the contemporaneous description of observations. If it were, it would be outdated (or too ahead of the times to be understandable or acceptable at all).
As a non-American who hasn't really watched over-the-air television for a decade, what strikes me most is how commercials affect the content. Mainstream American TV often has a weirdly fragmented quality - the writers seem acutely aware of the fact that they'll lose the attention of their viewers every seven minutes and have to fight to regain it. A lot of programmes (especially comedies) seem like a series of short vignettes, with an absolute minimum of context being carried across the commercial break. Even without the commercials, there's a palpable difference in the pacing compared to a Netflix, HBO or BBC programme.
Oh yeah. I believe a version of Mathematica was included with the original NeXt workstations back in the early 90s.
You kind of prove the parent's point though. Given a large enough sample size of all the people with privilege, it is conceivable to imagine that Google-sized success would happen to someone in that group at random, and other explanations could be simply overfitting to the data.

(Not saying this matches my personal worldview, but just analyzing the commentary)
What ocean are you referring to?
At the time Brin was a grad student, as you said, it was not-uncommon, but also not the norm, even in top departments.

The students who had programming experience from other than just their classes had a big advantage for systems work, compared to other students.

Though there were also a lot of students who had only undergrad programming experience, and had a lot more learning to do. Which is perfectly fine, so long as they know they have something to learn, and want to keep improving.

(The only annoying ones are those who treat professional and collaborative work like they're only trying to pass a class -- including the analog of only trying to get a homework assignment past the TA -- and think this is what everyone does. I suspect the ones I've seen would pass a leetcode CS101 interview just fine, because it's pretty similar metrics as getting into and passing CS classes.)
I was doing g! at work for tech searches so often I switched back. I gave it several months of effort. One example, I was googling an AWS service related question and the front page was blogs and garbage. g! had the official docs at the relevant part as the first result.

This happens way too often, and I like to think not because of personalized results.
Also, many creators opt for sponsorship instead of (or in addition to) YouTube's own ads - you usually get higher CPMs and you're less subject to the whims of the algorithm.

I don't think that's why you see more ads targeted at children.

I don't have any data to back it up, but intuitively I think ads targeted at children are the most cost effective kinds of ads nowadays and as generations grow up this will become more true and true. Kids have a lot of influence over their parent's purchasing decisions when it comes to relatively cheap things (I'd guess that threshold is around $500 dollars since that is what video game consoles tend to cost) and children have not yet developed critical thinking to see through an ad's lies. It's a lot easier for an ad to convince a child that he wants something than to convince an adult or even a teenager, and usually you don't even have to bother with making a good product (think back to all the toy commercials that sold cheap plastic things that broke after a couple of uses), the child can then go on to convince their parent to purchase the thing.

As more generations grow up getting used to ads, eventually only young children will be the only demographic not immune to ads, thus you will see more ads targeted at children just because they're the only direct ads that work, while ads for adults will move to different formats such as native advertising, paid reviews, product placement, etc.

I think by using DDG you will feed data to DDG thus improving DDG. A huge advantage that Google has over DDG is huge enormous userbase that constantly feed data to Google thus making it better compared to other search engine. CMIIW.
>The one thing that, I think, we can be totally certain of is that neither Larry or Sergey are business geniuses.

Which is why they were successful. When they first had to monetize Google, they didn't want to fill it with the large intrusive banner ads popular at the time. They put small unobtrusive text ads instead, since they didn't want to suffer the experience.

I think it is safe to say that if they were what you call a "business genius", Google would have been filled to the brim with flashy ads, netting them tens of thousands of dollars early on, and leaving them as company worth thousands.

It's a good thing they were steered by higher motives than business sense.
Judging from the first page, the writing on this seems to be approximately a grade-school level 2nd or 3rd draft?

I mean, if this was fully original content written by an algorithm it’s quite impressive! But I’m not sure an algorithm would have typos.
The vagueness of the text and selection bias seem like more reasonable explanations of your observations, independently of the spiritual or ethical value of that particular work.
The problem was the carbon emission market in Europe was screwed up, making the cost of carbon credit too low. That has recently been fixed and the cost of CO2 is now rising sharply there.
A potential downside here is that kids may be less well equipped to deal with commercial manipulation when they grow up.
Amazon never espoused anti-union views, so how could anyone accuse them of being evil? It is however Amazon's firmly held belief that a union-free environment will maximize benefits for its shareholders, customers, and associates (in that order).

This is a very smart way to organise society, if we think about it: people have to do more and more work to bid against each other for the limited amount of resources. The only flaw is that this reduces birth rate to unacceptable levels. I don't believe that this can be fixed: this very smart ratchet mechanism won't let us work less. Rich countries like USA counter this problem by immigration of qualified individuals. Not so rich countries like Europe have to let everybody in. But this solution won't last for long and eventually the so called advanced countries will be replaced by people that don't give a s..t about women's and anyone's rights and don't have troubles with birth rate. Oh well, maybe this can be fixed, but nobody likes the solution: reimbursement for all kids related expenses and extra to compensate for time - schools, universities, healthcare are free for anyone under 25; better laws related to marriage, kids and divorce - it makes no sense to give up half of your earnings and the house, and this alone deters a lot of otherwise qualified men from starting a family; and there should be an option to delegate raising kids to those who are good at it - the best age to make kids is early 20s when you're healthy, but in our modern society it's a financial suicide to start a family until you are well off (35 if you're lucky) - this type of advanced childcare would be a big shift in our society. Or keep extracting profit from full time working men and women and watch the sunset of the modern civilization in 50 years.
Per their own words, worker unions impede "speed, innovation, and customer obsession."

Yeah, gotta feed that customer obsession at all costs.

Unions depend not just on an exemption from anti-trust law, which in itsef is an anti-market intervention, but on state-imposed restrictions on businesses to give unions a monopoly over their workforces.

It's an extreme disruption in the economy, with all predictable consequences for productivity.

As for corporations and common law, that's a relatively minor deviation from the free market that would be almost entirely ameliorated by removing limited liability from tort cases.

>>As long as we're going to allow collective action by business owners, it's only fair that we allow collective action by workers.

Collective action is not the problem. Laws prohibiting employers from exercising their right to contract liberty and free association, to fire workers who unionize or strike, or to negotiate with workers not in a union, when a union has voted to collectively bargain, are the problem.

Like I said, the state gives unions a monopoly over any workforce in which they form. Giving a party a monopoly by restricting the contract rights of other parties is entirely different than "allowing" a monopoly to exist.
Because they set the pay scales, and engineers aren’t organized enough to force them to set them differently.
Of course they did. I rarely watch live TV.

On some programs it is pretty much a 50/50 split.

No thanks. Got way better to do with my time.
Sponsorship is literally amount the perfect form of advertising. It is mildly targeted, in a sense that it’s based on the audience of the channel, but there’s no nasty tracking or re-targeting going on. It facilitates payments directly to the content creator, with no middlemen taking a cut.

I wish this was the future of advertising.
Shameless plug. I'm working on a somewhat novel modal text editor: https://github.com/dpc/breeze

wow, one comment on HN, from an anon account, and you start coining bullshit FUD headlines.

Then you'll turn around and moan about the state of the news media.
It's not just comedies. Every damn broadcast originated SF or drama has a cliff hanger every 5 minutes, including the strange and infuriating US innovation of right after the titles - now 5 minutes in! Then a scene break that's where the adverts would have been. Then the ones that affect all US output, including Netflix etc: The inevitable cliff hanger at the end of the episodes, and a big major cliff hanger at the end of the series - that has no guarantee of another yet. So when Netflix decide to kill yet another after the first series, there's no point watching it as there will be no closure.

Whatever happened to stuff like Star Trek where each episode could be stand-alone, or a series was complete with closure? Crappy series cliff hangers never got me to tune into the next series - liking the progression of the story, the acting etc did.

Ironically I gave up broadcast commercial TV about the same time ago as you - because it had got too much with the adverts, and American direction. That was long before product placement in the UK, and a couple of liberalisations of regulation. When I visit friends now I am struck how comically often and terrible ads are. My memory says they used to try a bit harder and managed to get them at least competently produced and directed.
Field observations (e.g. glacial melting, CO2 levels, methane levels) tend to be wildly underestimated by the forecasting systems of a few years ago. Resource based systems dynamics simulations tend to predict collapse about 2030. We are seeing a species die-off worldwide both in terms of flora and fauna. Fishery collapse, measured by catch-size, is predicted to occur about 2048. David Wallace-Wells's The Uninhabitable Earth: Life after Warming is a frightening summary of what we can expect and is probably not too out-of-date.

In ten years everyone, even current climate change deniers, will be fighting to survive in a much changed world; in thirty, humans may be possibly have gone extinct, or be well on the way to being so.

As others have noted, it’s true in some sense. I lived in worked in Malmö for awhile that has a very similar system, but not exactly so I cannot speak to minor differences but from my understanding it works similarly to Denmark. Yes, you get on the “list” from a young age. But it resets after the first apartment that you rent after you leave your parents house. So you might find a nice place but after that you need to start looking for another nice longer term place. It’s also not really as much required as it used to be. You can rent a nice place without getting on “the list” as there are places these days that do not utilize or care about “the list”. However to rent the nice places not on “the list” it is generally a bit more expensive and you have to show a bit more renting history. In general I can summarize it as follows: something like x% of renters (I think in Malmö at least it’s like 70%) use “the queue” or “the list” or whatever you want to call it, the thing referenced in your post. About 30% do not, and rely on more typical means of judging your rentworthiness. So if your income is a little on the higher side you would have no problem finding a nice room to rent without the queue/list.

Anyone in Scandinavia if I have pointed out inaccuracies please correct me. I lived in Scandinavia for some time but cannot say I fully understand the system.
