So I maybe failing to grok this but

~45% of google traffic is "organic" - I search, I find a link I leave google

~5% is as clicks (!)

~50% is zero click - it's common enough a query that google just answers it right there, flights, trains timetables, cinema, exchange rates

This is kind of a huge shift and also kind of not important at all

Millions of us want, say, cinema listings, and off the back of those listings might easily buy a ticket. I can see this as a huge business for Google and certainly disruptive but I am not sure we are losing much by Google vetting it's dollar instead of the same dollar going to the ticketing company behind a multiplex

Is this the old fear about microsoft - that all any ISV was doing was market research for microsoft?

If you are a distribution channel selling a barely differentiated product to millions of people - well the writing has been on the wall for a while.
>Your reply says that you meant to say that Climate Science "cannot be experimental". This, it turns out, is also not true. There are cases where nature runs the experiment for us.

>For instance, the large methane leak recently in the LA area allowed us to understand the effectiveness of the inversion algorithms that are used to turn observations of concentrations into observations of the emissions that caused those concentrations. In other words, to understand the correctness of wind models.

This is exactly what differentiates model driven from experimental sciences. You cannot go out and define an experiment to confirm your claim, you can only make observations of natural phenomena. Which can take decades when you're considering sweeping, global changes, particularly when you're measuring changes which occur on scales of decades-centuries.

>You said that "no one knew" about a possible future crisis in the 1980s. I supplied links showing that this is not the case -- the science establishment, the Congress, and the readers of the front page of major newspapers knew.

Once again you are twisting my words. My point is to differentiate between knowing that something is happening with certainty, e.g. a consensus that climate is indeed changing due to human activity, and knowing of the possibility of something significant occurring, requiring substantial evidence to match the claim. It took decades to gather enough evidence to match the scale of the claim of global climate change.

>Your reply counters with "what should we have done". That's another question, isn't it?

Again I've done no such thing. My point is that we did what we should have - it is not rational to make sweeping changes to society, culture, and economy for every alarmist prediction uttered by a scientist, because such changes, big or small, are not free. One requires a minimum degree of certainty and, considering the magnitude of the implications of climate change, from the perspectives of both consequences and mitigation, it isn't unreasonable to say that 30 years is a relatively short time to establish a rigorous scientific consensus given the age of the modern scientific establishment and the amount of data that needed to be collected and analyzed because of the purely data driven, non-experimental nature of climate science.

Calling it a 'crime against the Earth' is politicizing it. That's not being "a voice for animals." It's being vaguely abstract and appealing to emotion or a higher authority (nature in this case).

Define the problem: $animal is going extinct.

Define why it is a problem: Biodiversity is an indicator for healthy ecologies. The extinction of endangered animals threatens the stability of ecology $Y which humans rely on for food, health, and resources.

Define the solution: By spending $X on preserving $Y, we can insure our access to resource $Z is not threatened.

This gives people something to actually address. They may disagree with you about any points (which is political, but isn't necessarily "politicized"), which can help tease out specific issues of contention and find compromises (or outvote them, if necessary).

When I read the title I thought it was going to be an article praising Google, but the author seems to actually think less clicks is bad?

I remember back in the early 2000s when I had to click through 1st to 10th result trying to find what I was looking for, sometimes even having to go to 2nd page of results.

Now I use search for everything : name of a built-in function, quick calculation, checking the spelling or wording of a sentence, short biography of someone... For none of that I will need to click on the result because the answer is given to me without needing to click anything.

> Because giving something more to the customer would not cost them anything.

Even if that were true, so what? Some customers are willing to trade less features for less money. It doesn't matter that other features are present but disabled. Those customers got exactly what they paid for. They're not getting cheaped out on.
The extinction of a species is permanent, it won't exist tomorrow, and it won't exist in a thousand years. Contrasting that with transitory economic interests of the current electorate is short sighted.

There's a very good reason to be extremely conservative in extinguishing a species, with the benefit of hindsight it won't be worth it. The extinction of the mammoths and dodos also increased economic growth for someone at the time.
Your approach requires that the market makes knowledge about endangered-species-killing-companies available.

I can't think of a single company off the top of my head that is a 'known endangered species killer' so I'd suspect the mechanism you suggest does not actually function.

I have a similar thing. For me it is exacerbated by sinus pressure.

Sinus care, exercise, even losing weight all have positive effects on my perception of tinnitus. At its worse I could hear it over the sound of 2 stroke marine diesel engine (around 60dB ambient), its currently around 20dB.

I also have TMJ, I'll look into getting a specialist. Thanks for the tip!

Yes. It's just not a priority for servers.

The reason it takes this long is that it does a bunch of self tests, and then it has to load all the ROMs for the components (NICs, HBAs, etc.) which often trigger messages like "X Loaded, press CTRL+L to configure" which stay on screen for 5-10 seconds each.
A quandary for you. Is genocide political?
Those activists you seem so annoyed with are trying to promote the survival of the entire ecosystem by making sure that indicator species survive. All our food for 7 billion+ people comes from the soil and the sea. The productivity of both are supported by a complex web of life. Each species that goes extinct snips at a thread of that web. If one of those webs were to collapse, most of us would starve. Mars is a dead world. We have just this one living world. Money is just a social construct, you can't eat it.
> I'm 53, and the amount of technological change I've seen in my lifeime is astonishing

I think its somewhat telling that your "Think about..." statements are all hoping on technology yet-to-be, not technology that exists today.

> Think about renewable energy more or less completely replacing fossil fuel in coming decades.

But we thought peak oil was gonna be around 1970. Today petroleum engineering still has better job prospects than nuclear engineering. I think the track record for "just around the corner" is quite poor.

> Think about the extraordinary amount of light-cognitive work, like driving, that will be replaced by automation.

I think that the track record...

The examples you have for technology that's actually happened in your life are just computers. Which are great, nobody doubts those strides. But how's the subway vs when you were 10? How much has schooling changed for the better? Are kids happier in school now, or completing it faster?

How has how most people get to work different than 50 years ago? Are more people able to walk or use fast public transport than ever before? Hows your experience at the airport?

How about building roads? Is it cheaper than ever, like with computers? How about housing? If computers getting cheaper and faster is progressing technologically, by the same metric are not roads and houses going backwards technologically?

How's the quality of our food tech improved in the last 53 years? Are we all reaping the rewards of that? Why are we so much more obese and diabetic?

How's the quality of life for the average child? Can they spend their day doing more of what they wanted vs 53 years ago? Or are they under what is essentially house arrest more than ever? If we have more technology, why isn't their environment safer and freer? Why can't they easily get to the library and museum on their own, like they can in Japan? If the technology we do have is improving our lives, are children (and adults) less depressed now than 53 years ago?

What are the things that stopped working? I don't think its a flippant question that can be answered only with computers and cell phones. Some technology has definitely advanced, but it should be just as obvious that some has almost completely stalled.
I would imagine that they could solve this fairly easily by wrapping XorShiftRng in a newtype, and then implementing CryptoRng for that newtype. It's an awful thing to do in consumable code, but so long as it's done in the test module it should be perfectly fine.
Back when I was in the HP VAR game iLO licenses where some of my highest money makers. MSRP for those licenses was like $250.00. I was buying them grey market from ESISO for like $35 a pop.
Not after you price the power. I have a Xeon system that is plenty powerful for my (C++) dev work, but I'm thinking of replacing it with an AMD build as it'll probably be cheaper over time. Then again, this is at Dutch energy costs, I'd imagine at (say) Texas cost it'd be different.

SVG optimization seems like a good choice for delivery, but oftentimes I find myself using SVG in a development context. Having human readable, annotated SVG files is useful when looking through previous revisions. In terms of compressed filesize: there's no serious practical gain.
The scientific consensus re climate change isn't anywhere near that gloomy in the short term range. We've already had nearly 1 degree C increase since 1975 and it hasn't been a disaster yet.

I think the far bigger problem will be that it won't really be that bad for the next 50 years, leading to complacency, and we will hit the point of no return before we really feel much impact in the richer western countries.
This is awesome! Can't wait to try it out

When to Take Conspiracies Seriously
Ooh, do you have any articles on this? Sounds interesting!
I do think "everyone" was hyperbole, yes.

However, I'm unsure why clickbait has to be dishonest. In the example the headline was clearly written to attract people with (or susceptible to) a preconceived belief (which the article argues against). Those people are probably more susceptible to the clickbait.

Could you elaborate on the dishonesty?

I bought a 2013 Era Workstation last year. (Dell Precision T3600) It had a 6 core xeon, and 32GB of ECC ram, and was $300 (I had my own hard drives, and got a decent video card)

it works great as a linux workstation, but its just so hot. My whole room is the warmest room in the house. I actually have to run a window air conditioner in the room to make it comfortable (I work from home, so use the office all day). I imagine its probably one of the largest power consumers (including the cost to cool with the window ac) in the house.

I look forward to tax season, I am going to replace it with a new AMD 3700x based system next year.

So in that hypothetical example, what are the dire consequences of letting the asbestos-gnat go extinct? Bear in mind that if we ever suddenly need to do studies on asbestos-gnats for some reason, we can just re-create the environment they evolved in and let them re-evolve.

Remove modern chemicals (detergents, perfumes) from the equation, and lots/most of what we call “body smell” would be VOCs, the composition of which depends on nutrition and microbiome among other things. So I find the concept of age/culture/lifestyle related smell very plausible.

But these things are not easy to research as reliable VOC detection requires lab setup (GC-MS)
would newer hardware idle at even lower wattage than 15W? Or is that about the best one could expect?
I'd check the BIOS to see if there are any power saving options, and/or unclocking/undervolting the CPU.

2.5" HDDs and SSDs use about the same amount of power, but 3.5" HDDs use 2-3x more. So you could potentially save 12 watts if you're using 3.5" drives.

Make sure your PSU is a high efficiency one, and isn't too low, or or too high wattage. From what I've read the maximum efficiency is in the 40-80% range.

> all of rust is technically undefined behavior.

Even if this is technically true (and I'm not really convinced that it is) it is not practically meaningful.
It is politicized because a public good, the functional ecosystem, is coming into conflict with a private profit motive, resource extraction, land development, etc.

The real problem is that public goods don't have equal advocacy in the halls of power. Public goods don't pay campaign contributions. Public goods don't run PACs. Pubic goods have to be championed by a motivated and organized coalition of citizens; all the while capital continues to amass power.
And yet, such situations lead to market-failure situations.

For the most part, I'm a free-market capitalist. But every philosophy has an error if you take it to the extreme. In the case of pure capitalism, you cannot deal with "market failures" (in particular: externalities, monopolies, cartels, tragedy of the commons...) with purely market-driven economics.

Its a known fact. The only solution to market failures is to stop using the market as a tool.

--------

Government policy should be to default to capitalism, but if an externality (or other market failure) is identified, you should use the Government as a tool to correct the market failure.

Ideally, you should minimize the Government's enforcement. Regulation is poorly accepted by the lay population who fail to understand its importance. But since 3rd party intervention are provably the ONLY solution to a market failure (indeed: its the DEFINITION of a market failure: when a 3rd party has to intervine)... your choices are as follows:

1. Accept the market failure as reality. (Ex: allow monopolies to exist. Allow externalities to warp the costs. Etc. etc.)

2. Create a 3rd party (usually Government) to regulate or force people to leave the market driven approach.

------

> The same can't be said for involuntary trades, like those that filter through the government. This is the situation we're discussing right now. The government took your money and spent it on some pet project, probably tied to a donor.

Case in point for market externality: City A uses up too much water from a river, such that City B no longer has enough water to survive. Gathering water from a river is extremely cheap, and maybe City A and B lived in peace before... but today cities can grow exponentially. And the increased usage by City A has led to City B's downfall.

This is a realistic situation on the Colorado River, where cities upstream have taken so much water that the Colorado River no longer flows to the ocean. To ensure that cities downstream even get enough water, there is a multi-city and multi-state agreement to ensure that Nevada, California and Arizona split the water appropriately.

Unfortunately, the agreement is flawed. But some agreement is better than no agreement at all.

------

The free market "solution" is that City A gets all the water, because its upstream. There's no reason for City A to cooperate with City B, any cooperation at all means that City A (from a free-market perspective) "loses" water that it feels like it deserves.
#5: That's an organization decision to disable the T-Bot. Though why they disabled chatting with it and also disabled removing it from your Chat list (which is also something that orgs have power over) is a fascinating question of organization settings micromanagement.

To make it simple, since you already have the hardware, I would suggest setting up the server as a VM Host to allow for experimentation with little effort.

VMware vSphere Hypervisor, Proxmox, or Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 are all free options. It makes it easy to experiment with the above in parallel.

My current VM Host has

* One VM as a docker host (turtles all the way down) for development tools. Build server, bug tracker, private artifact repo (Sonatype Nexus).

* 3 VMs as a Kubernetes cluster for experimentation

Building a NAS is the only thing that would take significant effort and is a project unto itself.

Unless you have a strong desire to experiment with failure modes (network dropping out, killing iSCSI, online VM fail over), stick to a single box.

I have been seeing some strange calls from my wife phone and yet am unable to locate her phone or even get the number that have been calling her. i was so lucky enough that i went online to hire a hacker who was gonna help me in tracking my wife phone and also giving me access to her phone. while i was searching i saw darkhatthacker@gmail.com as the best and i hired him this hacker was so good that he delivered me with my wife call logs, deleted call logs, all calls where recorded from last year till date i also had access to her text messages and also deleted messages. all this i had access right on my phone just with a very cheap price. Thanks to you darkhatt.
I own a big chunk of land in upstate NY, where we've got a little cabin. As part of our stewardship of the land, we periodically harvest timber, using the advice of a professional forester.

This forester was conducting a survey for us one year, and showed us that we have a specimen of a tree species that's expected to go onto the endangered list in the future. With a wink, he warned us that if we've got that tree there when it goes on the list, we'll be forbidden from doing much of anything with our land in the future - the implication being that we should dispose of it while we've still got the chance.

The ESA can impose significant costs even on us little folk. And the way the Act is constructed provides perverse incentives, giving us motivation to do the opposite of what's intended.

(we left the tree, but others may not have the same flexibility to make that sacrifice)
Probably an error in measuring the power consumption, there is no way to go to 15W, double that or more.
I found that working on Green Hills' Integrity was quite a bit easier than working in user space on a typical UNIX userspace. The primary reason is that the API for Integrity was designed in the late 90's, where the POSIX API was inherited from the first thing folks thought of in the late 70's.

The other aspect was that IPC via message passing is a very natural way to program.
