What I meant was that only websites that have google adwords embedded in their content show up in Google results. If you aren't generating revenue through google advertising blocks on your content, google doesn't show the content.

Google things new, updated content on large sites is more relevant, but it's not. That content is recreated from older content on the web that doesn't have ads on it.

I'm sure it's just that google requires more and more work from webmasters to easily find searchable content, meta tags, modern HTML, etc, but the way new content is being produced now is under the guise of ultimately getting the content reader to buy a product.

The old internet was, "Omg, I can share my knowledge with people." Now it's, "Omg, I can make money with ads."
What are you talking about, basically every tier 1 carrier is going to charge you based on usage. Usually per average mbps or gbps with a minimum commit (so you'd buy, say, a 100G link with a 10G commit, then you pay $x per gbps using 95th percentile[1] with a minimum of 10gbps).

The only exception is if you peer and have a bilateral agreement, in which case you pay nothing anyway.

If the ISP you worked at used other ISPs (tier 2 or 3) as upstreams then yeah, you get the same service as business class internet (flat rate for a capped link speed) but once you're one of the big boys it's absolutely metered and charged by usage.

How rich is he really? There is a lot of evidence that he has a long history of inflating his wealth and achievements. Combine this with his refusal to disclose financial info and I think that provides plenty of reason to doubt his current claims.

Other tools he's used include hiring undocumented immigrants for construction and then not paying them and refusing to pay contractors that worked on his buildings. He maintains his wealth by making deals and then refusing to pay when the bill comes. The bankruptcies are just a part of this pattern of behaviour.
I think the goal of renaming is to make it easier for people to understand. So when you post/comment in a group, you know exactly who will see it.

That's the only way you can explain this? Really?

This is a popular exercise on the internet, but there are any number of explanations for this that are satisfied entirely by understanding how any search index works.
Yes, but I interpret it as: you'd be content; no positive or negative change in happiness.

Of course it's just a pseudo equation.

SBA is an interesting offering meant to address long tail brandowners who can't qualify for vendorcentral now that they raised the requirement for it to be ~$10M/year. That's all, nothing insidious here, Amazon is just trying to recapture some of the long tail it cut off earlier this year when they stopped buying direct from small vendors.

This is not a good thing for boutique shops selling premium goods because Amazon will not respect your MAP. This is a reasonable deal if you're selling commodity CPG items and less sensitive to MAP but are not a big player.

Source: low eight-figure seller on Amazon, had a few manufacturer/wholesaler friends get booted off vendorcentral during the VC purge earlier this year.

Wikipedia Chinese Version Has Banned IP Address in North America

The hardest part of that volume is is the footage itself. Sure archiving/serving footage may be hard, but if you just wanted to index all the titles/creators/metadata and maybe comments, I don't think it'd be that hard, in terms of volume at least.

You're assuming a "commercial area" (i.e. a downtown core) that is any less spread out than the suburbs. In a lot of car-centric American cities, it's just a continuous sprawl where the residential sprawl gets called "suburbs" and the commercial sprawl gets called "downtown", without any increase in density.

Do we understand yet, in detail, the process that creates and maintains these jets?

Is it the same process for stars, for neutron stars, for black holes, and for galaxies?

Do these jets have any role in the evolution of the large-scale organization of the universe, the formation of galaxies, or the formation of stars; or are they just decorative?

If the former, what parameters of existing models that have been made to approximate universal evolution are skewed by their neglect of the contribution of jets at all scales?
"Deep state" is a conspiracy theorist level term for some underground, underhanded Hoover/FBI style group that doesn't exist or is really just career officials, most of whom have left the administration especially the state department. This has left a massive shortage in expertise and qualified or cleared workers slowing down how the government can handle ongoing processes/projects and new issues like the many foreign policy blunders and embarrassments Trump and his often unqualified appointees have made.

The trade war is one such blunder that no responsible and informed person thought would do any good long term but was spun as a hard core negotiation tactic. Tariffs are import taxes charged mostly to residents and businesses in the home country or passed to the consumer by the importing firm. This short term harms everyone but could be the straw that pushes a close deal to be ratified. Unfortunately, we didn't have a close deal beyond the TPP and this wasn't a cooperative negotiation but one of necessity framed as USA vs China.

It was never a smart move and was recommended against by nearly all experts or those with experience in the matter and we have reached the logical conclusion of such policies to find that there is no deep state outside of conspiracy forums and our economic outlook and foreign policy is a dumpster fire as Trump is not rational but likely narcissistic and mislead or misinformed by his staff to ignore reality such as the looming economic crisis.

I had an interesting time when I lived with 3 roommates and we got a gigabit connection (this was ~5 years ago, it was a big deal). We hit 3TB/month consistently and interestingly enough, it was about 80% going to consoles. We'd play a lot of Destiny and matchmaking would always make us "host" (because we had the beefy connection)... turns out a surprising amount of data gets pushed through your connection when you're hosting 16 player games for hours a day, on three consoles.
I think the general consensus is that it's great for "getting big shit done" – in other words, it's hard to beat for creating large, complex programs, but relatively crap for scripting or smaller tasks. I'm still kind of amazed how difficult it is to create a Lisp program that isn't hundreds of MB in size.
I do worry about atmospheric plastic particles, but...

I suspect that reported air quality metrics like PM10/PM2.5 measure this already. I'm doubtful that 10k plastic particles are landing inside your house simply because external air turnover isn't that fast (only a few per day). Either it's coming from inside your house or the density outside is anomalously high.

The total volume would be <10m3 and peak PM10 is typically less than 5ug/m³ (often less than 1 where I live). A 10um diameter particle is a few nanograms so 10,000 would mean all of the particles in the air are plastic. We know that dust, smoke, and other sources are significant as well.
Negative central bank rates are an attempt to spur consumption via all of the stimulus created since the financial crisis. Banks have been loath to pass on these negative rates to depositors because no one wants to be the first bank to do so, as depositors would flee that bank for another bank that was still eating the negative interest rate. However, the banks legally cannot coordinate actions as that would be evidence of cartel behavior. So they have just eaten the losses thus far.

This appears to be a first step to pass negative rates onto consumers, in this case onto borrowers where the first mover has an advantage.
The solution is to simply build more natural gas peaker plants, not solar. If you read the article it pretty much shows that Texas overinvested in wind power and it just so happened that during this period of time the wind wasn't as strong. Also for Texas having an energy crisis like this is unacceptable because Texas is sitting on the largest natural gas fields in the country.
I love being in full manual and being able to adjust the shutter speed and aperture without taking my eye off the viewfinder. I did it more as an enthusiast and was able to get some decent "motion" pictures at a local racetrack.

Did a few weddings/senior pictures as side gigs but what I enjoyed the most was the thrill of getting the 'shot' in action moments where you have a split second and that is it. Also hiking some trail to be at the top of the summit to get a perfect sunset is also very rewarding.

Per the operational parts of your question, it will be our lawyers who would be maintaining the 3rd party account and making sure the money gets sent to people who are owed the loss coverage.

In terms of our our underwriting process works. We do have clauses in our contract that removes our liability for act of god events, civil strife, or war. Barring these scenarios, the only other events that can move a property's depreciation to more than 20% is a recession scenario, which the hedging instruments would cover.

So, in reality, our exposure for every home is between 0 to -20%. So for every home we underwrite, we just need to mark funds equal to 20% of the property value.

Is this clear? If not, I'm happy to expand on it further?
Fortran is not worse. Far better than what you think is, really. Just try Fortran 2018 standard and you will see.
Honestly had to research a bit before answering your question, and there is debate on this. I am adamant on staying below 200 or maybe 400-600 on every picture though :D My best pictures are all on super low ISO because that's what makes them "creamy" and sharp (and I dig that).

Often when I take a high ISO (relative) I find myself also adding an extra layer of edit ("remove noise") which I think just hurts the image. Adjusting exposure alone I feel does less damage.

I really don't find adding exposure on post (when RAW) damages as much as adding ISO and adding noise.

ISO is really just boosting a sensor sensitivity to light which I feel is not optimal and adds it's own set of artifacts. I would always prefer to add more exposure and me being the one adding the artifacts and playing with the edits, rather than the camera.

But then again, I just shoot for hobby and not a PRO! You can check out some of my pics at @franciscojgo

How many of those are real businesses? If all the company does is hold a single asset, such as a private plane, or only has other Trump org companies as customers then it isn't a real business. I'll bet most of those companies exist solely to limit liability or for tax reasons.

And there is no concerted effort to make code readable, because most code will exist for its entire lifetime without anyone attempting to read it.

People who need to get up to speed to become new maintainers for such codebases will sit down and grok the codebase, by poking it with tooling, exploring APIs, etc. until they get a sense of it—sort of like getting a sense of a city. But even they won't ever just sit down and read through the code, because they know it wasn't written for that.

It's a bit of a vicious cycle. The question is: which part of the cycle is easiest to break?
Glad to see this at least orders by votes.

One of the problems StackOverflow is facing due to its age is that what was (correctly) accepted as the best answer 5 years ago isn't always the best answer today. For some questions, the better answer has more upvotes, and this reflects that.

I kind of wish StackOverflow had something like "Order by most votes in the past year" or "Order by most recent 50% of votes" or something, as it would probably be more accurate, but I get that it's complex both technically and from a UX perspective.

At first I was thinking - why is this on the front page of HN? Then I remembered when I was heavy into the scene (~1999-2003) - so much overlap with tech, way ahead of its time!!!

A few examples:

* projection mapping onto surfaces like mountains in nature parties

* zero-latency visuals synced to the music (and the cream of the crop demoscene type stuff)

* custom synths written in max/msp or whatever

* designer drugs, nootropics, "bio-hacking"

* experimenting with inducing trance states with "brain machines" and certain repetitive frequencies and stuff.

I really feel lucky that I got to experience all that, since I was kinda jealous from reading the Acid Test of what the hippies had and how they combined music with visuals and tech (like microphone feedback experiments)... we had much better toys :)

There has got to be cool stuff happening these days... would be a bummer to learn that 20 years (WTF?! HOW?!?) hasn't seen much progress..

I've watched some YouTube videos about various arbitrage schemes, including refurbishing. It rarely makes sense at a small scale, but if you can get enough product, you can eliminate the waste by scaling up.

I can watch videos/read blogs about how to duplicate a specific win, but by that point so has everyone else and margins drop.

A few people who find the deal early can make a ton, and they get paid well for knowing what to look for in a good deal. Even then, I'm sure pretty much everyone who does well with this has plenty of stories where they lost big, and they only win on average. It's the same as stock picking; investors don't get paid well to watch their investments tick up, they get paid well for finding the bargains, and sometimes an investment opportunity is too good to be true.
But you are not one of those people, and you are not definitely saying that? So what exactly are you saying?
Treasury holdings are bonds denominated in USD. They are worth less relative to alternatives when the USD decreases versus those alternatives or yields rise (as you expect them to, in the event of inflation), just like any bond.
What's your opinion on the Lisp paradigm of creating a DSL that reflects the problem domain, and then encoding the solution to the problem—in a readable way—directly in this problem-domain embedding?

Sort of like the more generalized form of what BDD is supposed to allow non-developers to do, where there's no requirement that anyone be able to change the code quickly, just a requirement that they be able to easily audit and understand the code from the code itself.

I always end up going back to the classics.

All lakes in Texas are artificial. There just aren't many good locations to build new ones and if you did you would have to relocate probably thousands of people currently located along the river. Building underground in Texas is also problematic because of the type of soil in nearly every region. There are also no real mountain ranges that can be used for elevated storage. There is some work on using previous wells as compression storage but the efficiencies on that are poor currently and the setup is very expensive. Careless deployment of underground storage can also cause earthquakes.

Texas is one of the largest producers of renewable energy in the world thanks mostly to wind production, but it was not blessed with any great natural options for storing energy. Really though, this just means we need to keep working until we develop an artificial one!
The relevant physics for photon-photon scattering is Quantum Electrodynamics and is elegantly described by Feynman Diagrams. See the relevant diagrams on this stack exchange question:
https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/215697/photon-ph...

To make a crude description, virtual fermions are exchanged between the two photons and this results in transfer of momentum and energy between them.
