I spent some time rating search results for google just to get a feel for how they rate pages. Not much time though because the pay is low and the criteria just silly.

In essence, they give you search term, a url, and about 30 seconds (at most) to make about $10 an hour or less.

Now, I'm pretty savvy when it comes to understanding what to look for but I found it nearly impossible to provide both an accurate rating and making enough money to make it worth one's while.

The people I knew who were doing this for a living told me flat out told that they take a fast glance, check a rating, and moved on as quickly as possible because they pay for quantity, and quality of the rating isn't a concern for them. So what they're really rating more than anything is visual aesthetics.

If the page looked nice and seemed to fit the description of the search term they'd give it a good rating.

Based on that, Hacker News probably wouldn't be rated very high by most of those who rate for google.

The noise cancelling is very good, but not better according to rtings.com [1].

I think that the comfort while sleeping/resting is a valid concern. I really like how comfortable the QC-35 II are, but you can’t rest your head against them. The Bose 700 headphones appear to have better mics as the main advantage over the QC-35 II.

Personally I like the sound of the Bose headphones better than Sony’s, but judging from online comments I think that most people prefer the more bass heavy Sony sound.

My advice to OP for over ear headphones would be the QC-35 II. Physical buttons, decent sound quality (although you can get better sound quality if you don’t need noise cancelling) and very comfortable. I can’t speak for the Apple AirPod Pros, as I’ve never used them.

It's sad to see Sourcetrail didn't make it as a commercial product. I really enjoyed it when I tried it out a year or so ago.

I appreciate the retrospective on the hurdles you faced. Could you share some learnings for things that did work? I could tell you spent a lot of resources getting the onboarding flow correct (Visual Studio Project Import was nice!), anything related to onboarding-related learnings you can share?
Emacs is also worthy of a mention here. Like Vim it takes a little getting used to, but it's incredibly powerful. Emacs works fantastically as an IDE (as does Vim), among many other things.

You can. However a mask on your face is not comfortable and so in practice I doubt you would wear it unless there was great need.

I wore a mask all day Saturday while working on the insulation in my attic. I can report it was easier to breathe at the end of the day than times I've been in there without a mask. (fiber glass is not easy on the lungs - though there may be some other factor not related to the mask involved). However I also had red marks across the back of my head where the bands were digging in. It was also more tiring to breathe wearing the mask all day.
Even in a hundred years he wouldn’t regret the choice. Nothing you described sounds appealing. Journalists see most technology like a black box that does mysterious things and produces an output, just like a bystander. If you don’t want to be a bystander to those processes, you become a programmer.
"Rule of law" doesn't mean picking and choosing whom it applies to. Saddam was our best buddy when he was using mustard gas in Khuzestan against the right people.

There was a time, several years ago now, where that was happening pretty regularly to me. It's gotten better, but since 2009 or so Google search quality has been on the decline for me. It only works well when I use things like site:blah.blah or quoted searches, or something I happened to search for and click on before (but couldn't find in history or had found on another computer). Finding novel things is a pain.
Most CO2 scrubbing systems either use plants (sometimes algae) or expend chemical ingredients (not very practical for long term daily use). Id recommend looking at systems designed for survivalist bunkers.

I did find this interesting project for using a thermosiphon to separate CO2 from air which looks pretty cool, but would likely require a good bit of sun to work well. I imagine it could work with an electric heating element instead of the sun, however.

Reminds me a bit of Andy Goldsworthy's "Storm King Wall" (one of his few permanent art works.) Not that he was doing it to save stones, or protect fruit trees. That shape is just a common part of his art:

> these large international bodies e.g. League of Nations, UN have all failed generally when large, powerful entities decide they want to shake things up.

The UNSC is actually a pretty successful institution, all things considered. It gives "shakeups" a reasonable chance of being defused, and that's good enough most of the time. Enlightened self interest has to do the rest, of course - so failures will occur, but they ought to be rare. And Nazi Germany, the PRC in Xinjang etc. aren't exactly models of the rule of law!
It makes it very likely it's a joke. There's really no reason to treat it as anything else, just because it got mistaken for not-a-joke.

Netflix also offers a subpar service on Linux for the same reason, the video resolution is limited to 720p, even with a Premium plan. The video quality can be tested on Netflix by searching for "test patterns" on the service.

The stream quality of HBO GO is consistently bad on Linux, with washed out colors.

I have no experience with Amazon Prime Video, but I've found several threads from 2019 with people complaining about the lack of 1080p streaming on Linux.

So even when Disney+ begins supporting Linux, you'll most likely get a subpar service for your money.
Note that in his write-up of how the hack was accomplished (someone pasted a link in another comment) the hacker specifically mentions his attack was on Cayman National Bank of the Isle of Man. From cursory research it appears to be based there, not in the Cayman Islands.

> then the signature itself would be at least 16 bytes.

Indeed, and 16-bytes is SHA1 or MD5, both considered insecure at this point. 32-bytes (SHA256) seems more likely to me.

So I'm going to bet that they aren't "signing" the packet.

Huh, not really? A “fan” is an enthusiast or admirer. It implies a certain type of relationship to the thing you are a fan of.

Another answer: because regular banks are awful to deal with. They don't have nice APIs to just move money around. They apply velocity limits at surprising times. They can terminate your account suddenly for opaque reasons. They charge high regular fees and even higher "gotcha" fees if you make a mistake. They can take back money sent to you for up to 90 days, but often can't get back money you sent to crooks even if you discover your error the next day. And 100 other complaints.

So if you're doing something involving moving a lot of money around, you may need to be your own bank to make the whole system work well.
Well to their point, there is more wood, brush or other similar types of burning in rural areas. Especially wood in the US as it is the source of heating homes in rural areas. Bonfires, etc are also more likely.

Whether or not that translates into more risk for your exposure to small particles is probably related to where you are (e.g. are you inside the house while the wood is burning, probably, so you are close to the source of it and probably have a lot of small particles around your house that get brought in every-time you open the door).

If its so rural that its just you for some distance then this might offset the fact that your wood burning stove is (probably) not providing any sort of filtering that a catalytic converter, control systems to more fully burn the fuel (so there aren't as many byproducts), or other devices normally used to remove byproducts of combustion. So it comes down to which of those byproducts are most toxic to you comparatively to other forms of pollution, the density of those particles and where you are in relation to them is going to determine your daily exposure in your environment.

"...even though company leadership has said publicly, including to Congress, that the company does not use blacklists or whitelists to influence its results."

Ummm, isn't that providing false testimony and considered perjury? Why is this shit never, ever prosecuted against a large corporation? It's simple - you know who lied under oath an it's recorded. You know that person knew what the truth was because they were a high ranking person who's job it is would be to know stuff like that. So either they committed perjury or they are grossly incompetent. And it's not like they didn't know what was going to be asked of them, nor did they state they weren't sure. Can't stand this crap. The two standard requirements are that the person needs to have intent to deceive and that it must be material information to the proceeding. Since the discussion was entirely surround this aspect of search, there logically must have been intent to deceive. Furthermore, being the central topic, it was most certainly of material significance.
It's funny because you really believe that.

I also built a simple web server in Haskell for triggering commands via GitHub's Webhooks [1].

So if you're interested in a very simple, yet useful web app to analyze, see:

https://github.com/alexandru/github-webhook-listener

My use-case is to serve a static website using my own VPS, but have Travis build the website (via a static generator) for me. After Travis builds the website via Jekyll, it pushes it to the gh-pages branch, then GitHub pings my server via the installed webhook, which triggers a refresh with the latest build.

I'm also not FedEx and am replying to a specific comment, that I quoted, in this thread and not the article. The construction is active, it has been active for over a year now.

The IndyStar article also links to another article, with yet more construction, going on just south of Indianapolis at 259 million dollars.

The comment I replied to stated

I linked to one example, and referenced a second, of them actively carrying out those capital investments.
Nah, just cancel quietly.
I agree and it was what I was trying to point out. I wasn't focused on the age of the smoker at all but the length of time it had been for him as a 'regular' smoker. He obviously needed more curation and guidance.

I was probably a bit too snarky in my comment which made it come off as being focused on his age - hope this helps clear the air on that point.
> the First Amendment doesn't say anything about churches that it doesn't also say about the press.

It assuredly does say different things:

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

If a newspaper didn't want to pay taxes they can form themselves as a non profit as churches largely do. It's been done before, e.g. ProPublica, Institute for Non-profit News, Crosscut, The Texas Tribune, and many more.
Really cool site and instructions for an automatic watch. I recently switched to a manual watch, and I think personally I prefer it more. Winding my watch is now part of my every day routine and I look forward to it.

I also calculated that each "click" on the wind represents 15 minutes, so when I wind it up and hear the clicks, I know that's time I'll spend today that I won't get back, so spend it well!
By 2025, it's quite possible that vapor-deposited boron-based icosahedral superconductor and semiconductor materials will begin to revolutionize many areas, including quantum computing, slashing power requirements of existing chips by 90+%, and most importantly, quantum energy devices (think batteries that never need recharging, powered by the expansion of the universe) that effectively convert ambient heat to electricity just as PV cells convert ambient light to electricity. This uses a new quantum thermodynamics that has no classical analog. FWIW, these materials have already been invented, and the theory behind them is probably sorted out as well.

If you want to talk ethics you should probably start at the government. Ethics should start with the higher level. The average business owner/s trying to LEGALLY minimize their tax is hardly unethical comparatively to the sovereign that allows it in a first place. If we are talking guys like Google then yes. Those just buy governments.

Signaling and politics. Called it in a previous post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20942910. If a person or entity has no skin in the game WRT a prevailing topic, but there is moral high-ground to stand on, they will get involved or form an opinion solely for the opportunity, essentially a photo-op, of them standing on that high-ground. "Protect the children" is probably the most popular high-ground used in this way.

Apple doesn't make a vaporizer, nor do vaporizing apps amount to more than a rounding error in revenue for them. Right on cue, they take the opportunity to make this token action, so that this article can be published.

It is a selfie of them standing on the high-ground; in the same way people stage a carefully framed IG post of them out "exploring" when they are actually in their backyard.
Um, yeah, I stated all the evidence at hand. If you’re looking for a strong convincing case, I ain’t giving one.

That argument assumes a conclusion I reject -- I disagree that the culturally understood definition of FOSS has already changed outside of specific set of businesses. And in the same way that nobody gets to hold onto a word indefinitely just because they dislike change, it is also true that nobody gets to redefine a word just because it helps their marketing.

The current evolution of language like "free" is a political movement pushed by political actors; it's not based on an observation of how culture has evolved, but on a belief about how culture should evolve -- specifically how culture should evolve to benefit specific business interests.

In other words, Mongo didn't wake up one morning and discover that FOSS had changed, Mongo made a decision to try and change FOSS.

Of course, businesses and critics have the right to argue about FOSS definitions, and traditional FOSS advocates have a right to tell them to buzz off and stop stealing the positive associations that exist in no small part because we were dogmatic about definitions.

My position is that there are scenarios where dogmatism about words is genuinely important, and that sometimes, changing definitions should be resisted. The muddying of FOSS is no different from the muddying of words like "organic" or "humane" as labels for food products. Without a strong governing organization like FSF to prevent the dilution of these terms, the terms will quickly become meaningless and useless for end-users and consumers. FOSS may not be a purely prescriptive term, but that doesn't mean that every database product on the market should be able to manipulate it whenever they feel like they aren't making enough money.

Sure, but what about when you eat? What about when you're exercising? My point is that caring much about filtration efficiency quickly stops mattering after you've done the obvious things, because there are simply going to be times where you're not breathing filtered air, and those will very quickly become your main source of exposure.

This also means that if you feel like you need to get a mask, you should probably get the most comfortable, least restrictive one, even with a worse rating because (say) 90% filtration all the time is better than 99% filtration 80% of the time (if the discomfort causes you to take it off 20% of the time)
It’s more than humorous - assuming the signature is secure, nothing that amazing has yet happened in the history of the universe.
You'd think so, but what we are wrestling with now is that vendors can create products (microelectronics) that are too difficult to reverse engineer that its operation is effectively a secret to all consumers.

We're probably going to see more of this in the coming years around SecureBoot/TrustZone on ARM.
