How exactly did you "browse Tor"? I don't really know how you could find e.g. the Silk Road unless you were specifically looking for drugs.
No surprises here. This is the history of SEO, isn't it?

Truth be told, Google's #1 objective is to be human. That is, to recommend what a human would recommend, but automated and at scale. This is why Google consistently recommends: Design for the human, not the bot + algorithm.

Taken a step further with personalization, Google just want to be you. That is, what would you recommend to you if you could. Who is going to make you more happy than you?

Sure SEO is a cat & mouse game but the arc of that plot is the cat wins more and more often. Eventually the mouse will be wise to assimilate.
I have no way to read the article, but I will nonetheless comment on the headline. You can't sensibly talk about the economy and the stock market at a time like this without also talking about current and expected future policy.
I think it's an exaggeration to say "you couldn't throw a stone without coming upon CP".

It was on every single Hidden Wiki at the time.. it _was_ everywhere, and commonly linked to from sites like 4chan.

Sure, but nothing like the Silk Road. In a winner-take-all market like the online marketplace market, you would expect a top dog to emerge.

When did you do your research? The difference I noticed began late 2012.
I've been watching PBS Space Time since they started years ago. A lot of their videos build on previous videos, so to fully understand a concept you might need to go down some rabbit-holes. But it is worth it.

I'd much rather have channels like this that welcome actually getting into the details a bit, rather than the hundreds of channels that have broad, surface-level facts of a subject lazily combined with some stock-footage.

I've just signed a contract to write a book and I get an advance and then 10% (goes up to 12/15% if more are sold).

One major reason is that I am more likely to finish it and get it done than if I rely on it myself.

Another reason is that I want to be known for one niche, this will help and if that works out then I could likely self-publish and keep more of the profit.

It is slightly more nuanced than I want as much cash as possible for this thing.

"Great" architects get to build buildings based on their vision and have it be something with little to do with anything else.

There is a book called How Buildings Learn and the reality is that a lot of old buildings that are viewed as great buildings evolved into great buildings over a long period of time. They were added on to and tweaked as need arose and they became something wonderful and useful and valuable.

You are unlikely to see a building by a big name architect treated that way. They get enshrined. They get preserved. They are frozen in a moment of time. They don't evolve.

The very act of being known as a great architect tends to rob your buildings of the process by which wonderful spaces gradually come into being.
Absolutely. And far too often the profit side chokes the product side.
If everyone already assumes reviews on Amazon are fake, is it unethical to make paid reviews on Amazon?

If you lost your job from Covid, this sounds like a good way to make ends meet.

The economics to make this work seem crazy. How many other people are being paid for reviews like this guy on the same product? How many fake reviews do you need to finally have the edge on your competitors who are also pumping their pages with fake reviews or is it endless stream of fake reviews? Where does it end?
yeah its not going to happen, sorry. if there are people with a shared experience here then go ahead and talk about it.
What's wrong with AWS Secrets Manager?

Maybe the mindset change has to come from developers. That is, maybe developers are obligated to implement accessibility regardless of what the customer says. Remember, this isn't just a checkbox on a compliance form; it determines whether some people can do their jobs, complete their education, access essential services, etc.

But the expression of the fact is copyrightable and Google is taking verbatim excerpts from websites and posting them on their site.
>> revenue is much more likely to correlate to unique visitors

That's the bit I don't understand. Why does an advertiser not value a customer seeing an ad twice, or for a longer time? In fact I would say that those customers are much more valuable because their multiple views bookend an extended period of viewing an ad. If I view a website at home in the morning, then again while at work, I have been exposed to that ad for many minutes, as opposed to one-time readers who click away within seconds. That has to be worth something more.
For some reason this reminded me of one of my favorite Wikipedia pages:

Publix makes great subs but i definitely wasn't thinking about them at first.
This is bunk.

There are 2 forces At play that matter to your position

1) big tech firms investing in a large local player for legal, political connections and arms length sheilding from the necessary local corruption

2) normal manufacturers moving to Vietnam - which has accelerated since the trade war due to COVID.

The second is best described by a New Zealand owner who was looking for factories to build stuff in, aside from China.

India was described as passable, if you Are an MNC. Then you can afford the workers while ensuring quality.

For anyone else, the quality of service from factories drops of fast. There simply isn’t the wherewithal in talent or experience to do manufacturing at scale and at competitive pricing for the typical firm who wants to move manufacturing hubs.

In contrast He had videos of Vietnamese factories working towards throughout targets and being a viable alternative to China.

India needs to reform Labour laws. It’s been a great hope that this govt with its monumental single mandate would have taken the issue and freed the system up so manufacturing could be unshackled.

All of these cases should really be done by the compiler on O3.
I read it and found that write to R0 (zero read register) triggered CPU fault.

This means that there is some hardware that checks condition that will not happen during normal course of events - compiler won't generate such code and write to register that reads zero is harmless.

That hardware stays there, occupies space (does not matter how little) and drains energy (no matter how little).

This part of hardware is utterly meaningless and shows how priorities were skewed during design phase. It also shows why Itanium was such a bad chip - features were piled up instead of being cut down.

RISC-V did cut down on features first (compare division overflow in RISC-V and OpenRISC) and has a process to add them. This is why RISC-V is easy to implement even in OoO variant and why it is being picked up by everyone and their dog.
The first thing I tell any new doctor I go to here in Germany is that she ought to use the “technical” (Latin/Greek-derived) terms for organs, diseases and procedures when speaking with me, because I’m more likely to know those than the “simple” (common language) equivalents.
You are advocating willful destruction of property. Property that is neither yours nor FTDI's. This is illegal, and broadly considered bad taste.

A counterfeiter commiting crimes against FTDI does not excuse FTDI committing crimes against a third party (i.e. the consumer).
The world being safer without the counterfeit products also does not excuse the FTDI destroying things that aren't theirs.
The justice system being ineffective at addressing counterfeiters is also no excuse for FTDI to take matters into their own hands. Vigilante justice is usually illegal.

Programmers make mistakes. A bug in your counterfeit detection code may end up destroying legit products. In addition, you can not be sure destroying a product will be safe - if the chip is in a medical device, you might be killing someone. The entire idea of destroying a product without explicitly being told to do so is fraught with peril.

You deal in false binaries. The third, imo correct, option is for FTDI to design software that works correctly with their own product, and spend no effort on the counterfeits - neither to get them to work correctly, nor to brick them on purpose.

A fourth option, if you want to spend some effort on something other than destruction of property, is to take option three, and also alert the user that they are using a counterfeit chip with unpredictable behaviour, and in your airplane example, advise the user they should probably not take off. If you want to be pro-consumer, this is a better way to go about it than smashing their stuff.

From the consumer's perspective, they had a working device, and a firmware update bricked it on purpose. It is possibly out of warranty, in which case they end up footing the bill (or experiencing frustration) for replacement and downtime. It takes Olympic levels of mental gymnastics to view that as 'pro-consumer', imo.
Rust has those, though most people interact with them through cargo (with --release corresponding to O3 and not passing it to O0.)

Sometimes, non-release builds are too slow to meaningfully run. It is not uncommon for release builds to be extremely faster than debug builds.

So, the domain in question is ms.markosaric.com. Which is a CNAME to custom.plausible.io. uBlock Origin is able to block based on CNAMEs, but it is not a default configuration. PiHole V5 blocks based on CNAME as well, and it is actually enabled by default.

I run a little blocklist project [1] and I've had custom.plausible.io blocked in my list since April 8th [2]. So, although I didn't have ms.markosaric.com blocked directly in my list, the PiHole still would have blocked it via CNAME blocking. Also uBlock origin if you have CNAME blocking enabled.

> In a meta analysis of the role of attractiveness in criminal sentencing, it was found that unattractive people received 120–305 percent longer sentences than attractive people.

I wonder if this is an evolved phenomenon. Societies where punishment was harsher on the less attractive was faster to remove less fit genes than otherwise and, thus, out competed their adversaries.

(Obviously abhorrent on a human level, though.)

Yes, Google has and is very much abusing their position when it comes to (re-)directing traffic to other websites, but one has to wonder how much from that is a disaster of the affected sites' own making when they've tried for so long to squeeze every last drop of "SEO juice" out of their content and use every dirty advertiser trick under the sun.

> our assumption was that S was true for one specific n, and not all n at the same time

And here is where my problem with the reasoning is. The example in "A Brief Review of the Principle of Induction" makes no such error. It calculates for 1, and it calculates for n and n+1, in which the n can really by any n as in "all n". Also, no assumption there. So in my understanding the fallacies start at step 3.
So the technology is all proprietary... How does something like this actually work in theory?
Yeah, in grad school the theory grad students were the ones who had to TA a bunch to cover gaps in their funding.

When you have a couple million tied up in lab equipment it's easy to divert some to grad students to keep it running but us theory folk were switching projects every couple years just to keep the lights on as it were
Serious question; how do you know this is an exaggeration? I would assume you have no way of knowing what this site looks like to non-dyslexics, as you are effectively overlaying real dyslexia on top of simulated. Like looking at a painting of an acid trip while actually on acid, you’d have no idea whether it was representative or not.

I don’t understand how it would be possible to ever replicate it though, unless someone could be cured and then judge it’s realism.
I understood this site to be replicating the reading experience, rather than a literal reflection of what you see.

India, with its 1.3bn population, represents one of the biggest opportunities for tech companies globally after hundreds of millions of Indians started using smartphones and accessing the internet in recent years.

Perhaps there is more money to be made via the Dark Web these days, so those people selling things have a vested interest in not making it scary to use it.

If I was a Dark Web Drug Kingpin, I would want to lessen the stigma of using the Dark Web, and that means trying to DDoS unsavory sites, convince other sites not to link to it, and the like.
>The economics to make this work seem crazy. How many other people are being paid for reviews like this guy on the same product?

The marginal cost to the suppliers is probably pretty low on average - sending a reviewer a $150 office chair doesn't cost them $150, which makes it a bit more reasonable as a tactic
In the presentation they literally list the TCP stack as a technical advantage. In the video the guy literally says kqueue and sendfile as superior freebsd code for their use case.

Also, I never said it's "faster". Most modern OS's on modern hardware can saturate most networking links. I said robust. There's a difference in how much CPU will be uses as well has how stable and consistent it can be.

I'm also not claiming FreeBSD is a magical solution to everything. I've long switched to Linux for various practical reasons, but there are some areas it still shines.

I think this is probably correct. I wrote my own hit-tracker for my website and I spent a lot of time looking at logs to see if I could reliably track unique users by hashing headers and the IP address. My conclusion is that you can't - you will always double count some users.

It is no uncommon for consecutive requests from obviously the same user to come in from different IP addresses. Usually these are either cell phone users whose network changes from second to second, or browsers behind big proxies with multiple servers fetching content.

For example, I would see this quite often (all fields made up):

75.34.234.71 index.html mobile-browser-v25
75.34.234.75 style.css mobile-browser-v25
75.34.234.75 header.jpg mobile-browser-v25
75.34.234.72 code.js mobile-browser-v25

Plausible would plausibly see that as 3 different users.

Another problem is bots. So many bots. Some that take the trouble to mimic real browsers - they don't know they are bots. And they have a plan.

Most bots don't bother to execute javascript but analytics that rely on single-pixel webbugs and the like will likely show inflated numbers.

Tangential, but Google search has become worse, as they seemingly have decided to no longer index everything. Looking for specific error messages + a keyword used to lead directly to the blog article that solves the problem, now the search results seem very superficial. Doing research and exhaustively finding all references of something seems harder now. On Youtube it is even worse, I get 7 search results, that's it. The rest is "recommended for me".

Maybe that's not so tangential after all. Assured of their own power, formerly over other search engines, now increasingly over the websites themselves, they have no incentive to put out a really great product.
