non-personalized experienced usually has no relevancy

In my experience, it's the opposite. Non-personalized ads show me a broad range of items that I might possibly be interested in. The same way that newspaper, television, and magazine ads do. While personalized ads show me the same ads for the same products that I've either already purchased, or no am no longer interested in for weeks or months after I've moved on to other things.

frankly it is inefficient use of money in this world

I find this argument... odd. Why, as a consumer, which is how you've framed the overall argument, would I care even a little about the efficiency use of money in this world? I think to refine your point: Why would I give fark one about whether an advertiser's money is spent efficiently, and why is that even my concern at all?

Why can't there be a way for me to tell the ad-world what I'm in the market for

There is. For example, if you're into gardening, you read gardening magazines and garden-related advertisers advertise in those magazines. Easy peasy.

This is old tech that the dead tree folks figured out centuries ago. What's changed is that digital advertising isn't about actual advertising. It's about getting rich quick and easy without doing any heavy lifting that the legacy ad companies did.
The point of the chief editor is so true that I'm surprised to read that from them.

I have noticed that a lot of times with this kind of web media.

- You have a clickbait title like this: "How a normal guy managed to hack WallStreet with a simple pen"

- Then, you have one page of interesting introduction on the topic but without the reply to the title question.

"In november 2018, WallStreet was busy with the introduction of xxxx, and suddenly a problem happened, everything went black. To understand, wallstreet works with computers that are connected with a modern system... 300 words ... and on that cold night of the 23 nov 2020, one man John Crowford destroyed all of that."

- Then you have 10 pages of useless crap and fake intervews about the childhood of the guy and a lot of things that are not interesting, and not related to the subject.

"His mother was blond, she liked to eat fries. But despite that, John Crowford liked to eat popcorn. So much that his friend reported that, one time, he stayed at a movie theater for a whole day just to eat popcorns ... Studies at the yyy school were ok, but he followed them without passion until he met Carolinas Brocolis a hot night of summer 1992. Together they got 3 kids ... he was not supposed to live in New York as he was born in California, but he found a job there, ..."

- And then, you finally have the explanation that is, most of the time, short and straightforward.

"So, he was hired as a Janitor in Wall Street, and accidentally put his pen inside the holes of a power plug, resulting in a major power failure. THE END"

After reading such a story, either you did skip to the end directly, or you are very angry to have lost so much time reading useless things.
Vaccines can either reduce the severity of disease or grant immunity for a period roughly comparable to the window of reinfection. Depending on the duration of immunity, a successful vaccine may require multiple doses per year.
No, but these small scale studies point to prolonged complications only in those who were the most elderly and/or the most severely sick.
My SIL makes, I'm pretty sure okay/decent pay... (for a teacher) HOWEVER, she loves her job, and her kids (Teaches poor kids from the Indian Res.)... so she spends almost HALF! her paycheck on supplies for her kindergartners. It's almost like it's part job part hobby.

I think that's pathetic that we don't give ALL school's enough money so everyone has everything they need.

Edit: my point being, even if a teacher makes good $$, they can spend quite a bit of it on student's so take home really becomes a LOT less.
I agree, publishing a story with such a strong claim and then having nothing to come out of it... That's insane. It seems like they had no evidence of anything and just went by hearsay despite having very high ranking people in the involved companies denying their claims completely and categorically.

It's unfathomable to me that they would dare publish something like that without having an ironclad case and even more damning that they never even bothered to retract it.
I do the same. I've often thought they should publish a book consisting solely of obituaries. As morbid as this sounds, it would be almost like a history of the last 100 years viewed through a very different lens.
From day one Wayland struck me as a completely unnecessary effort that could instead have been spent making Xorg better and fixing its problems. If aspects of Xorg are ugly, create new extensions and deprecate the old ones and set a sunset after which those old extensions will be removed. That would be a much easier sell than a 100% new graphics server.

This sort of "lets rewrite, and rewrite, and rewrite, ad infinitum" stuff is a major problem with the open source community. It leads to an enormous amount of wasted effort in an area where effort is always needed to address real problems around usability and hardware compatibility.
As someone new to web components, I'd love to see an example app/site made with this - something really simple, with no frontend framework, just showing how you use them.

Ironically, John Micklethwait, came from The Economist. Was there from 1987, and Editor-in-Chief in 2006.

" if ads were needed for monetization,"

It is a solution to monetization. It is not the only solution. Lack of economic development has been because of the addictive nature of fascist behavior.

Non-personalized vs personalized is not the question for me; companies might still collect the same data from my "experience" habits.

If they are going to do that I want more profit from it than a custom news page.

Like I want money from the company leveraging my identity for the company's bottom line. I want some of that money if you are going to get a simulacra of me in a fucking database.

And until we get there we are stuck with a few rich lawless men keeping me for themselves.
I'm not into web development at all so this sounds very new to me, but aren't components in general meant to be self-contained so that they can be reused as "building blocks" for larger applications (or pages, i guess)?

Doesn't using a framework in this case mean that you also have to at least bundle that framework with the component? What happens if you want 10 components that each use a different framework? Or some of them use the same framework but different versions? What about the same version, does that get duplicated for each component or they get shared?

Also are these components meant to be "bundled" with your code or you are supposed to source them from their "home" server? In the latter case does that mean that a site using 10 components will open connections to 10 different servers (one for each component, assuming all components are from different developers)?

Or am i missing the point completely? TBH i think of "components" as in Lazarus, Delphi, .NET, etc (where you have reusable components like buttons, labels, input boxes, etc but also nonvisual stuff like timers, imagelists, etc).
This virus definitely looks as if it had ample time to adapt to human host. Just many early cases were probably undetected or misattributed.
I've been trying to get a mortgage to buy some land near Redding, CA. No one wants to lend on land without buildings.

FWIW, here's the details:

It's forty-four acres, eight miles from Redding, and there was a house there but it burned down in the Carr Fire two years ago. There's a well, septic system, electric hookup, and concrete pad to build on already. You just have to design your dream home and build it. Before the fire burned the house down the property was appraised at $350K and now it's available for $80K.

It seems like a no-brainer to me but I'll be damned if I can find anybody who's interested. Even the sketchy lenders aren't interested.
This is false, bordering on anti-rationality.

Small and mid-sized companies 'make stuff or services' and want to get the message out to those who may be interested.

"The connection is organic" this is fantasy. It would take a decade for a small maker to make inroads in a long tail market to get national reach.

"they want ultimate control over their long tail instead of delegating it to the market,"

This statement is nonsensical.

Being able to advertise is part of 'the market system'. They want to get the word out.

Ironically - the 'market system' reaches considerably more efficiency with better, more targeted ads.

I'm tired of lack of understanding of how the 'selling side' works in any business here on HN, and doubly tired of the antagonism towards it.

People take an interest in very complicated algorithms which may not see the light of day, but then can't wrap their heads around these really obviously, daily common problems.
It seems more like you're trying to censor people talking about the scientific details and facts around covid-19.
> conference scene thing

Who can? Conferences are so expansive!
In the grand scheme of things, whether they are "countries" is not the issue right? They are places that had their own distinct cultures and way of life and China invaded and forced their way of life upon them. By the way, Tibet was an independent state prior to forced occupation.

> And China didn’t force them to adapt to Chinese Cultural

This is factually incorrect. There is definitive evidence of destroying cultural and religious artifacts of these groups, desecrating their ancestral graves, banning speaking of their native tongue, among other things. In order to have a fair discussion on this, the facts must be straight. These are all things that have plenty of photo, video, documented, and testimonial evidence via primary sources. Unfortunately, you would never see this evidence presented through Chinese media or textbooks. In fact, you would see the opposite as China propaganda portrays these people as having wanted to be a part of China.
Beta 3 is less stable than beta 2 for some. I normally wait till beta 5 or 6 before installing on real device.
How odd, this is not what I was taught decades back. I suppose I will have to refresh. This is like finding out that Mercury is not tidally locked to the Sun, despite that being in textbooks forever.
> Why does a simple editor (write.as) gets so much traffic and is still growing?

Write.as isn't an editor; it's a Medium (blogging) alternative.

> Is linking (Roam) not an overrated feature and easy to accomplish with any other note taking tool?

Roam is a supercharged wiki specifically for journaling and mind-mapping (i.e. a personal wiki). People who don't understand why GitHub "wikis" aren't really wikis will also have difficulty understanding what makes wikis appealing/effective.

You can look through recent discussions here on HN about similar Roam-like tools (like Obsidian[1]) if you want to see how people are approaching these things.

Another COVID related reason for land being snapped up might be shifting of investment preferences away from stock and corporate/municipal bonds. Land with long term development potential is a relatively safe bet if you're prepared to hold it for long enough.
And yet adding "[Rust]" is "not a thing we do here", so you are (as usual) being needlessly pedantic (and curt) with the goal of being correct, but unhelpful.
It's kind of odd.

People will get all upset over a report of a squirrel with bubonic plague, even though they never come anywhere near squirrels. Or they will hide because a raccoon walks through their yard in the daytime and they are afraid of rabies (even if they live in western Washington, where there has never been a known case of rabies in raccoons...). (The reason the raccoon is out in daytime is most likely that she has babies at home and needs to gather more food than she can with just her usual nocturnal foraging).

But children...which we actually allow to get close to us, even going so far as letting them into our buildings and vehicles? Meh.
Essentially, it's investigative reporting. It sounds like they want to focus more on "news" as defined by press release, which probably is not a good thing.
Wouldn't it make the least sense for advertisers to spend money showing ads to people who are already in the market for their product. Those people will probably be looking it up directly, which is what their website and SEO are there for. If anything contextual ads are probably better for people in the market, so when you search for their product they always appear in the first page of results.

I would think ads are meant to drive you into the market for a product and service, and other marketing tools are made to get you to pick a specific offering.

No. The ads are separate video files that get played after each other by the browser or youtube app. Since this app is complete independent it just choose to not play the video ads
I don’t see how this type of speculation is helpful. People in the original thread were convinced this was a professional hit an because the guy used a saw and had a duffle bag, even though professional hitmen would know how to dispose of a body and not show up on camera.
That disdain right there for people that use a GUI application - that's what I don't understand (and I was talking about in another comment). I have quite a few people in my company who believe the same, and I know damn well that they're not any better programmers than the ones who don't (even if they might like to believe that). It's like using a console somehow makes them a better developer than others, it's a laughable assumption. If a GUI condenses 5 steps into 1, there is no shame in using that. The key is to know when to use a GUI v/s when to use a CLI.

Good luck using a command line spreadsheet software and producing good results in time ;). I am a little surprised by your belief that only two classes of GUI software in the entire world are useful (because you use those two?), everything else is garbage. :)
Your question/comment is very confusing.

The people buying houses are not the same as the ones who missed their payments.

The people building houses are not connected with those who are missing payments.
You can use Tailwind classes on all your markup as you normally would. In terms of Shoelace components, they're more limited to layout, spacing, flexbox, grid, etc. for arranging and positioning (e.g. don't expect class="btn btn-blue" to turn a Shoelace button into a Tailwind button — although you can use them alongside each other if you want).

To style the internals of a Shoelace component, you can target it in a stylesheet using CSS custom properties or CSS parts as described in the docs. [1]

Fossil fuels are only part of the usage. Oil and hydrocarbons are used in a lot industrial production, housing, foams, chemical plants etc. Even if you somehow replaced all fossil fuels with some other energy alternative (nuclear container ships, electric cars, trucks, trains and planes) you would still use a massive amount of hydrocarbons from oil and gas to power the worlds economy.

And before you say use plant based hydrocarbons. It's kind of perverse to use trees and food crops to create fuel and industrial products.
> While there are reports of reinfection, those cases are quite rare.

The disease hasn’t been around long enough to make this claim.

> Even a modest degree of immunity can significantly lower spread. In France, Spain, Germany, you still have hundreds of cases every day, but they don't grow to thousands of cases anymore.

This is true, but depends on the duration of immunity and a more uniform global response (or very tight border and quarantine adherence). Ongoing, sporadic COVID crises would still be pretty disruptive unless we have highly effective therapeutics.
He didn’t dispose of the body, and the article makes it clear that he returned the next day, after killing him on Monday.
It's also because these "credible" mainstream media sources started reporting non-credible information as factual. Much of this inaccurate information originates from Twitter.

If 200 people on Twitter are angry at politician X over something trivial, we are served a news headline of Person X accused of Y - Public calls for resignation.

An anonymous person on social media recently made a claim of sexual assault against Justin Bieber with no evidence whatsoever, and the media reports it as Justin Bieber accused of sexual assault. He was fortunate to immediately whip out numerous receipts countering the claims, but what if he couldn't? We would still be reading headlines about this baseless accusation.

Sadly (luckily?) this wasn't corruption but plain out retarded levels of incompetence...
The three projects shown in the badge seem to be the top three by star count. Of course star count often poorly reflects actual importance of project: in my case, python/cpython only squeezed in at the third, another cornerstone project where I’m a member and contribute to long term got relegated to “and more”, while two popular yet much less important developer tools where I submitted some drive-by patches took the top spots.

It would be nice if star count is weighted by amount of contributions, and cornerstone projects like python/cpython get a boost in ranking.
In an app's context, I think it means _additional_ ads. In this case though, since on YouTube the ads are not baked into the original video, it also means that you get to watch the content without these ads that are represented by a yellow bar on YouTube.
My post was about the fact that even though ProcMon Windows is a GUI app, they thought of releasing a CLI app for Linux rather than making a consistent interface for the same just as windows.

> Police identified Haspil through “anti-felon identification cards that were spewed like confetti in Saleh’s apartment,” NBC New York reported.

Can someone explain what this is? I assumed the guy would quickly be suspect #1 once they combed through Saleh's computer and found discussions about the stolen money. What's this "anti-felon identification cards" reference about?
I think you are point on. The two existing sibling comments have contradictory excuses for this:

1. New developers might know this, but standards change fast, and it’s hard to keep up.

2. You can’t expect people new to the craft to know everything in the field.

I personally found this article sub-basic. You could probably learn more and better on MDN. I think CSS might be one of few areas on HN where a sub-par article doesn’t get the constructive scrutiny it deserves in the top comments.
Corollary this comment helped me realize: the successes and failures of any environment that doesn't stick around are forgotten, thus the failures of the commodity startup industry do not disseminate nearly as widely as idle commentary/banter about poor customer service associated with a specific brand.
I just want to point out that in the US at least, infections are often treated with flouroquinolones and the side effects can result in fibro/cfs diagnosis. Symptoms can show up even at 12 months. I have met numerous people over the years, who were given cipro/levaquin just in case while they were waiting for blood test results and started having odd neurological symptoms lasting months or years. Later results turned out to be normal and no infection.

The medical community has been failing most of these people and I am among them. Many report symptoms during their course and doctors rarely report the issue to the FDA. I have been to Mayo and other popular hospital systems and honestly sometimes I feel like there is a big conspiracy to protect the drug, it seems quite surreal.

In Europe during EMA panel a few doctors spoke out and mentioned the issues their patients are dealing with. Some patients also described their symptoms: neurological issues, widespread muscle/tendon pain, insomnia. It sounds very similar to CFS/Fibro.
An excellent app. Plays stuff in the background and has a built-in downloader, for those big podcasts on the go.
This is utterly tragic. Not sure that there’s a lesson to be learned other than life is short and people can be unpredictable. Must be so hard for his sister and family.

folks are erroneously using density as a proxy for the primary transmission vector, which is prolonged, varied, and direct exposure to others' respiratory exhaust (understandable, but still erroneous). that happens primarily face-to-face, in close proximity, for many continuous minutes, not walking around a grocery store or sitting in a restaurant.

bars/clubs are different because they're primarily spaces for guard-lowering behaviors (drinking, dancing, etc.), which also lowers risk mitigation practices against infection.

this misperception of risk is what leads us to poorly placed faith in lockdowns, rather than the more sensible "distance, and when you can't mask" rule that has (nearly) all the benefits and (nearly) none of the massive downsides.

For manufacturers? Sure. But what about storefronts? Having the best price won't matter if no one knows about it.
