Not only has the US president declared the press the "enemy of the people", he also has a personal vendetta against Jeff Bezos for hurting his feelings. And he's got a personal lackey doing his personal bidding at the head of the DOJ.

If anything, it's more plausible to have been directed by the President (though it probably wasn't) than for any consequences of these actions to come from this administration (which certainly won't happen).

Who Can Name the Bigger Number? (1999)
I bought a cologne from Amazon that I felt is not genuine. I bought another one from Amazon and bought the exact same thing from the company online store. Surprised to see they were very different in packages and product shape. The scent was different according to many blind tests I did myself and using my friends help. I posted a review on the listing[1] pointing all of this out. Called Amazon and they refunded my money immediately and asked me to discard the product.

This product was SHIPED AND SOLD BY AMAZON.

It's not a 3rd party seller problem. Amazon might be using 3rd party suppliers too.

Two things come to mind (as a homeowner of a fixer-upper).

First, a lot of home repair (not all, but a lot) is small, simple, and fairly commoditized. I used Homeadvisor last week, for example, to repair a broken window, and I wanted it fixed basically as soon as possible. I really just needed a guy with the tools to come in and do the job fast, and Homeadvisor found me that guy quickly.

Second, it's hard to find a good contractor. I'm on my third or fourth plumbing change right now, and have used different plumbers each time. They were all fine, but I haven't yet found someone who I'd absolutely call first. Homeadvisor gets my business until that person comes along.
Depends on the awk. mawk is surprisingly fast.
> But what if you don't know about other online travel sites? You'll never see them, so it kind of makes sense that you are shown other sites in there.

I don't think that makes sense. Or, at least, such results should be below all the actually relevant results.

If I'm searching for Expedia, then what I want is results about Expedia. Nothing else. If I want to know about other travel sites, I'd be searching for "travel sites" instead.
This is a good time for education to step in and ramp critical thinking and deduction to the max.

Google is about as evil as they come now. They’re taking the role MS did in the 90s.

On the off chance you're interested in the distinction... Uncaught click fraud is paid for by advertisers (including small businesses and startups who can't easily absorb that cost). The platform (Google Ads for instance) pays nothing. In fact they make a profit.

It only hurts them if there is enough of it that it pushes advertisers elsewhere, which is why so much of it is caught (in which case no one pays for it).
I've tried CTL_T(KC_F) for a single day only. I though it was a good idea to have all the modifiers under the home row. It doesn't seem like the index finger is a strong finger as it started to hurt after only a few hours of heavy use. Neither the other ones seem to be strong enough except (I'm hoping) the thumbs.

So for now I'm mapping Ctrl to the thumb cluster (on an Ergodox) and the lesser used modifiers like Alt can be in the home row, for now.

I don't seem to be having problems with the unintended presses though. Try lowering the TAPPING_TERM, maybe?!
Perl used to be part of most distros, but I think favor shifted to Python a few years ago.

I wouldn't call it bloat, but yes it is much bigger. At the time you had C (really fast, but cumbersome) and Awk/Bash (good prototyping tools, but not good for large codebases). Perl was the perfect answer to something that is fairly fast, relatively easy to develop in, and easier to write full-sized codebases
Sometimes, more specific actually means more cost - in B2B, I've seen roughly $15 and $7 CPC for heavily contested keyword phrases, and know of a competitor that bids over $30 CPC for a particular phrase.

A slight aside, but although it's definitely market forces at work, I'm certain Google inflates CPC prices before those market forces take hold, forcing the hand of smaller players.
You're right. Although being a Linux user I'm pretty sure you know your way around a terminal and are the equivalent of a power user.

Chromebooks are targeted at people who find even Windows too complex.
> dx11 implemented in Vulkan

Also 9 and 10, FYI. DXVK targeted 10/11 initially, and merged in D9VK (a separate but similar project covering DX9) about a month ago.

Proton also has a branch that bundles in VKD3D (Vulkan layer for DX12), but that's still experimental at this point.
Yeah, the key here is to set a minimum, not an absolute. “At least”. That’s what the original poster is missing.
Congrats to the Wine team!

And don't forget wonderful dxvk project as well, which made DX9-DX11 games playable with great performance on Linux.
I changed the favicon to a black "Ad" text and Google didn't really like it that much--they gave the site a manual penalty.
DTN IQFeed is affordable and has options data. Access is through a windows only client.
Agreed. I feel like HHKB hits that sweet spot where it is minimalistic, but still very usable without messing with layers. If it had just a few more buttons (left Ctrl + arrow keys; though I personally don't care for left Ctrl, as I have remapped it to CapsLock, just Like I do on every keyboard), then I wouldn't even need to use the Fn key at all either.
I dislike this attitude. Depending on the packaging it comes across as false humility at best, and at worst it holds back the most talented among us from some of the best opportunities.

If only everyone who had a 150 IQ (approx one in 2500) was arrogant enough to want to have 2500 kids.

It is very hard to gain traction now when Facebook already has a near monopoly for most but niches. That wasn't the case back when Facebook started.

I'd actually think you can say that Facebook simply got there first, and with first I mean to first capture the large swath of people that wasn't techies nor young people. They had great timing with when the mainstream started to get pretty comfortable and curious about the Internet (which was a pretty huge deal considering how big the barrier to computers and the Internet was for many/most people).
Ergodox
They try to upstream whatever is acceptable. Only what can't be upstreamed for some reason (hacks or something Wine project doesn't want to accept) remains outside.
Perl was my second programming love, but awk is much shorter and easier to remember for the simple cases where I need it.

Remembering which Perl command-line arguments simulate awk’s line-by-line processing is harder than just remembering awk.
People said the same about expertsexchange until SO did it.

Thank you!

Its built on kube (gke) on gcp. For pricing we just started with the standard retailer keystone margin without oversell/oversubscription. We're hoping ease of use trumps saving a few dollars a month, it has for our first few customers, but we're still testing it out. Our goal is not to be the bottom-barrel-cpanel hosting world, but rather the freelancer/professional market for whom the extra 10 -20/month is a rounding error if it makes life easier. Also as a clustered service where we handle the os/image layers for you its more akin to a failover pair of vps's with some devops services (like forge) so its actually right in line with those as a bundled price, we just need to communicate it better. Also we're working on improving the webhooks/ci-cd functionality to eat into the $/month people pay for stuff like envoyer or travis-ci too.

> automatically increase the prices of requests by a fraction of a cent to compensate

Great concept.

CPU, bandwidth, electricity, it's all just energy. And to a significant degree, money is just energy stored. I generate energy with my own work, store it in the form of money, and then transfer that energy to someone else, maybe to heat my home or cook me a meal.

Before money, I had to barter for those things. Maybe conceptually the internet is in a similar state at the moment. It doesn't have 'money'. Why can't I put CPUs in my wallet and then spend them? And why can't I charge visitors to my site by the CPUs they are costing me?

Instead, I have to, in a way, barter. For example, maybe I use ad revenue to earn my income, so I generate all this content, I barter that to the search engines, which barter with the advertisers, which barter with me, and I barter back to security guards to protect me from 'bad' actor bots. I'd really just like to receive CPU and bandwidth payments from them.
Duckduckgo is just a better user experience. Search results are almost always good enough (sometimes better), and you can easily fall back to Google by adding "!g" to the search.
Don' stop there. You've solved a real problem in your life, and you might want that information another day. Make a tiny script that encapsulates it. Generalize it a tiny bit, and give it a memorable name (perhaps lsof-tree). That done, you can stop worrying about the mechanics of the solution and build on it.

#! /bin/bash
# lsof-tree: list open files in a given directory tree (default /home)

NAME=9 # set to 10 for CentOS
BASE="${1:-/home}"

lsof | awk -v NAME=$NAME '{print $NAME}' | grep "^$BASE" | sort -u
I guess. But even before the Khashoggi assassination, MBS was arguably an obvious threat. I can't imagine considering him a "friend".

I mean, I'd be gobsmacked if he mixed personal and business on the same devices. That could be disastrous, not just embarrassing. So a third device category doesn't seem unworkable.

Edit: Also, wouldn't someone like Bezos have security advisers? And how could they have failed to warn him?

One could make a similar argument about MBS, of course.
I wouldn't use Keyword Planner for keyword research data. The keywords that appear there are only being actively bid on. So keywords that have more search volume and no ads won't be included.
Something I’ve learnt about fitness recently, and particularly recovery from injury, is that you have to push your body very very very slowly up. Much more slowly than I ever thought was necessary. And too much, back off. Gently gently catch the monkey.

Is it that you’ve discovered the mental equivalent of this attitude to physical training?
It's not for me. I like fewer keys because I find that it's easier/more comfortable to use layers rather than have to do a weird reach for some key I need.
yeah, I'm in the 61 key zone and it drops right into my bag as needed. I mostly grew up on laptop keyboards, so I don't have much use for a 104 key board. And I don't really use the function keys for anything, so I don't really need that row, I use vim bindings for my arrow keys and page up/down so don't need those keys. I find that I use a 61 key keyboard without any layering or special mapping. Though I do program a few macros here and there but no real need to use layers for my workflow.
This is a very interesting article.

I particularly liked the insight that currency stability may be desirable for the most successful economies but undesirable for the least successful.

Being in the cryptocurrency space, I can see how this also plays out on a much smaller scale as well. When your community is made up of nobodies, one of the few advantages that you have is that your cryptocurrency has more upside potential than established players. This can offset the significant downside of not having a reputation.

It's very much like the current Apple TV remote. Unfortunately, the latter:

These life hacks have never worked for me. I realized too late in life that I do my best work at night. I'm not sure if it's because I'm bored, or tired and my brain has slowed, or the news cycle has slowed down, but I can sit down at 10pm and pop out hundreds of lines of working code by 1am. If I ever have a large project to work on, I'd guess 70 percent of it is done after 9pm. Luckily, my company doesn't micromanage and as long as I write quality code on schedule everything works out.
Technically telling the truth below the fold or in the fine print, while misleading consumers who only give the literature a glance. This is very typical behavior from a corporation, it shouldn't surprise us. Except that Apple's marketing team has managed to dupe a huge number of consumers into believing Apple 'thinks different.'
Interesting, I did not know that. Thanks for the link!
I really hate AMP. To the point where I started making an iOS browser that’s sole purpose was to bounce me from AMP links to the original link and delete the history step in between. I wish Apple would offer this in Safari - a simple ‘ignore AMP pages’ check box.

AMP is google worst attempt yet at taking over the web. It’s so user hostile. It breaks lots of sites with its fake scroll and fake back button at the top of google news. I hate it soo bad!

Yes, Proton is based (and rebased) on upstream Wine and Proton changes are normally upstreamed too, unless they can't be accepted for some reason.

Never seen this image before. Fascinating. A damning visualisation of Google's slow but steady descent into a soulless money-making machine.
Recessions happen somewhat cyclically because imbalances build up in the economy that ultimately cause some sort of dislocation.

Actually recessions seem to be driven by random events. Our brains impose a cyclic explanation on what is actually a stochastic process.

If you only work for very large corporations, you work for some of the most inefficient corporations. You get a higher salary for the resulting frustration. That's the deal.

If you want to work in an environment that works according to common sense and achieve something, take a pay cut and join a smaller company. Of course, you still have to do your research and choose wisely.
What about generic or almost generic trademarks? If I search for something like bandaid I am certainly _not_ expecting Google to rank Johnson and Johnson (the owner of the trademark for bandaid) above other potentially more relevant results.

And the same applies to other terms like Kleenex, Ziploc, aspirin, etc.
This would make search engines impossible, sadly.

China probably has more people at every level of education than Germany, they're just more sparsely distributed. So the one person with really in-depth manufacturing knowledge spends their time supervising a bunch of greenhorns who barely know how to operate the machines, making lots of cheap crap. But they're learning something new every day and may eventually become skilled enough to cost-effectively manufacture high-quality goods instead. Of course at that point they won't be happy with rock-bottom wages anymore, so it's not clear that prices will drop much.
Would expect this to clock in somewhere in the neighborhood of $80 using my preferred fab of OSHPark, but their min. order is 3 boards. So if you find two other people who want one, you get one from there for under $30 or so.

A better comparison would be with telephony companies of the old days. We now have the Telecommunications Act [1] that does for telephony what the article is suggesting for social networks.

Quoting from Wikipedia:

> Since communications services exhibit network effects and positive externalities, new entrants would face barriers to entry if they could not interconnect their networks with those of the incumbent carriers. Thus, another key provision of the 1996 Act sets obligations for incumbent carriers and new entrants to interconnect their networks with one another, imposing additional requirements on the incumbents because they might desire to restrict competitive entry by denying such interconnection or by setting terms, conditions, and rates that could undermine the ability of the new entrants to compete.

So either social media companies should be classified as telecommunications companies (imho not far-fetched), or we need something similar to the Telecommunications Act but for social media.

Perhaps as a favor to Trump who constantly whines about WaPo and Bezos?
For getting interviews, your resume will only look better with more variety of experience. Most people scanning resumes to pick candidates for interviews are just looking for relevant experience and bullet points... the more the better, they aren't going to think a lot about why you were at a specific job only for 6 months.

Once you have an Interview (or a phone screen) they may ask about it, but then you can explain and it's unlikely to be held against you.
What weight does that hold when MBS actually killed the WaPo journalist? The proof is right in front of us.
The Spanish Flu also influenced the design of old radiator heating systems.

"The Spanish influenza epidemic, which took place during the winter of 1918–19, had a dramatic effect on the way heating engineers sized radiators," explains Dan Holohan, author of several books on steam heat and founder of HeatingHelp.com. "Central heating was relatively new then and the world had never seen anything as horrible as the Spanish flu, which caused an estimated 50 million deaths. Because the flu was airborne, the Board of Health started a campaign the following year that urged (more like demanded) people to keep their windows open so fresh air could enter the rooms."[1]

Saudi Arabia has a lot of exiles and so far as I know, it's not murdering everyone who criticizes them.

Khashoggi is was not simply a journalist but a member of an influential family with Saudi Arabia [1]. MBS has dealt quite brutally with a variety of his internal opponents without Saudi Arabia. Murdering Khashoggi was something of a statement that MBS wouldn't let his direct opponents escape to other countries to oppose him.

To be clear, the murder was a horrific act by a brutal theocratic regime, I'm not noting these factor to condone it in any way but merely to give background.

[1] For example, this Khashoggi was a relative of Adnan Khashoggi, once know as the world's largest arms dealer.
Yeah there are all sorts of things people may not consider. Like I doubt the emacs plugin can lock pages, which totally rules it out for production.

Once you’re in production you need to freeze page numbers, or you’d wind up with chaos. If the DP, producer and AD are talking about page 32, they need to know they’re talking about the same thing. Subsequent revisions just slot new pages into the script. If you add text to page 32, it doesn’t spill over to page 33 and change the numbering of the whole script. Instead you add page 32a, and every page that isn’t edited stays the same. An editor that can’t do that might be fine for personal work or first drafts, but it would never be adopted professionally.
