This has already been in place for a long time. So much so in fact that you used to be able to attack a sites rankings by creating, or stealing, many low quality sites and publishing links on them to the victim's site. The victim, if they were lucky enough to know about theses things, would then have to create a Search Console account (for Google) and declare that the sites have nothing to do with them and Google should ignore them for ranking purposes.

These days there are more attributes to add subtlety to your outbound links of you want the search engines to take you seriously.[1] I'm sure other search engines make similar judgements based on them.

Large scale infrastructure is no longer possible in the US for all kinds of reasons. But you can't just compare infrastructure projects from the 1930s and pretend it will work. If you had to build the interstate highway system, or transcontinental railroad, or Hoover dam today, it would take decades and cost many times the price in real dollars.
The state of the art [1] for body fat estimation using depth sensing is actually quite good (R2 value of 0.78).

The hard part will be accurately extracting the anthropometric features from the front/side/back images that Halo captures. There's a chance they would initially launch an iPhone only app and leverage the face scanning depth sensor.

Notion has a free tier as well. I've moved to it from Evernote after paying for the full version for years. I'm not sure I'm enthralled with $99/year, given I pay that amount for O365 which gives me much more plus 1TB of OneDrive.

As you have a free tier, I'll give it a shot.
Reality of collaborating remotely: damned if you do, damned if you don't
I'm no expert, but it's not just that they dominate the search market, it's that they use that position in less than ideal ways. For example, Google Snippets takes away valuable traffic from sites. Google has also been accused of prioritizing their own results over competitors.

This isn't much if an epiphany. These net worth values are just loose estimates of hypothetical values obtained by blindly summing coarse appraisals given the current state of things. They have always been like that.
Nope. There's money committed if we ever run the Distill Prize ($10K prizes recognizing outstanding scientific communication), but that's tied up in legal issues.

For regular Distill, all the costs (several thousand dollars a year) come out of volunteer pockets, and all the time is volunteered.

Edit: There was a period of 6 months where Firebase (which is connected to Google?) gave us free hosting, reducing our expenses.
Punishing slow complicated sites and sites with annoying newsletter or cookie notifications would be nice too. Promote simple, fast readable sites with no dark patterns.

There's plenty of room for improvement in search. DDG is already edging ahead because it searches for what I want, not what it thinks I want.

You have this already. It's called "using checks and money orders."

The problem is that people want the convenience credit cards use, and don't want to wait for the check to clear to get their stuff.
> how to use Stripe to only store cards and let other processors make the charge

1) Have the user submit their card info on your payment page

2) Simultaneously send the card info to the 3 processors

3) Then process the charge through just 1 of the 3 processors, leaving the others open to be used later

(At least with Stripe) the process of saving a credit card to Stripe and actually charging the card are 2 independent API calls. Nothing stops you from saving card info to your payment processor(s) without actually charging it.
I've been running Tales From The Dork Web (https://thedorkweb.substack.com/) since January on Substack. In some respects TFTDW is a bit like Tedium.

-The severity of aortic stenosis determines whether any intervention is indicated. Only a cardiologist or cardiac surgeon can reliably make this determination.

-The aortic stenosis procedure with the strongest evidence base is transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR. See the PARTNER 3 trial, https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1814052

-Bear in mind that only a cardiologist or cardiac surgeon can apply the available evidence to a patient and make a recommendation. In some cases of severe aortic stenosis, despite the PARTNER trials, an open surgical valve repair is still a better option. Only a cardiac surgeon can decide this after reviewing all of a patient's information.

-The evidence base for other interventions is weak. These options should probably not be considered outside of the context of a clinical trial. You can look for clinical trials here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/home

-Echoing other commenters, you should know that any procedure on the aortic valve has a risk of stroke. This would include any procedure that removes calcifications and possibly releases them into the blood. Only an interventional cardiologist or cardiac surgeon is qualified to discuss these risks in detail.
Yeah, as a non US citizen, this annoys me. Every year Apple announce a new cool feature, but I won't be able to use it for years. Like a lot of the Maps features, the News app, the better predictive keyboard, etc.

Apple is the most valuable company in the world, they really have no excuse.
Do you not like swords?

If FB has access to execute code on my phone, without any guardrails, what stops them from requiring location or microphone services be on at all times?

As an informed user I can push back, even boycott, until my friend hosts an event and I need to see the invite.

What I really want is a collective bargaining power agency (i.e. kinda like a customers' union) that imposes rules that are in my best interest onto service providers. Frankly, this need exists because the government isn't doing a good enough job of it. I am happy to pay extra to this agency for this increased bargaining power.

It just so happens that Apple has positioned itself in my life as that collective bargaining power agency. Does it make life harder for service providers? Yes. If I was a service provider would I fight this friction? Yes. However, unlike anti-competitive monopoly behavior that hurts customers, the collective bargaining power is used in the benefit of the customer (i.e. me).

A big part of what makes DDG great for me is that they are NOT owned by a mega corp.
Yes of course they are. Further I understand the "strategic decisions", "markets have spoken" , "faster feature due to single codebase" justifications to Electron usage. To me it just feels like saying we care about our servers meanwhile users can eat crap.
They don't allow Kindle purchases in the Amazon app on iOS, maybe this is why?

Maybe it is that same "Older so I lack patience for poor design" but nowadays when I play a game I often - not always - have a web page on my other monitor so I can look up how to do XYZ unnecessarily complicated stupid shit. Crafting recipes are the biggest failures.

Warframe is the THE game I can think of doing this most. Even when I learned how it all worked, I needed a bunch of reference tables/posts so I could grind with maximal efficiency!

Nowadays, if a game has "crafting" I am 90% inclined to skip it.
Yes, that could be done but it requires setting that up beforehand. In the scenario I outlined, deciding to go for a drive on a whim, i.e. not pre-planned, this is still a problem that technology cannot solve.
No one is extending anything. It's a term in economics and in public choice theory.

The short definition is "seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth." In this context, "creating new wealth" has a specific definition as well. Sitting on a SaaS service, or charging license fees for software I wrote a decade ago isn't it. Building a house and getting paid for clearly is.

Rent-seeking is usually bas, but it isn't always bad. Creating wealthy early on in your life, and then sitting on passive wealth generation feels okay to me. However, if you have a legacy family where wealth was last created 500 years ago, and everyone is extracting wealth by virtue of having been born into the right family, that's not okay. Your values may differ. That's okay too. Values differ between individuals and cultures.
Fiber never solves the problem of internet on a ship, or plane, or tank. It never economically solves the problem of internet in the middle of nowhere.

If the FCC had teeth the US would have internet going up to the "edge" of nowhere (for some definitions of the boundary), but there are always limits. Satellites nicely complement that by working best in non-dense areas.
It's 21 minutes, not 5 minutes, but here's a lecture by Chris Mack on EUV from 2013. He's fantastic. (Skip around or increase playspeed if you don't have more than 5 minutes to spare.)

Chips produced by EUV work the same as any other chip. And even chips that are made with EUV are only using EUV for the very finest features - they're still using plenty of 'regular' lithography for the dozens of other lithography steps.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever been happy with an epub conversion. I've always assumed the pirated pdfs are sold in some countries, so they are incentivized to clean up the conversions. I've just gone back to dead-tree library books, but selection and availability isn't always the best.

Wow! Sounds like a boon for Javascript game engines like Bevy. I wonder if they'll support PlayCanvas as well.
If there's one thing that's constant, it's that Apple is somewhat arbitrary when it comes to "enforcing" their TOS on the small guys.
Right, only select partners get the sweetheart deal. Like Amazon and Spotify who build integrations with Apple TV.

You cant buy kindle books via the amazon app for exactly this reason. You can only download a sample. If you open the website in a browser though, you can.
JWST still hasn't be launched yet.

And space observatories are much much more expensive than ground-based ones.
JWST for instance will cost around 10 billion dollars in the end - and they don't even have to pay for the launch cost (one of the contributions of ESA to the project is free launch on Ariane rocket).
JWST will have a 8m mirror. Currently three 30m class ground-based observatories are being built (ELT is 39m, TMT 30m and GMT 24.5m) each with an estimated cost between 1 and 1.5 billion dollars.
So you get three much much larger ground-based telescopes for the price of one large space observatory (and still have money left over).
Does anyone remember NoteSlate from like 2011? I came across it right before going off to college, and I was so ready for a writable e-ink tablet.

It ended up being a scam/vaporware so I was stuck taking notes on paper, but I'm glad things like this are becoming somewhat more common.

(I think they may have come out with some actual hardware like 5 years later, but from what I remember it was too little too late)
You need a mailing address in the footer of emails in the US and any country with a CAN-SPAM-like law. Substack lets you use their PO box. It's even auto-filled. That adds cost for a self-hosted option unless you want your home address dangling out there or already have a business address.
std::span is a modern C++ class designed to act like an array or vector, by viewing the memory of an existing array/vector without allocating anything. In my experience writing audio code, C++'s implicit copy constructors are what makes it too easy to accidentally allocate memory.
It would be great if there were a regular pen/pencil that had the ability to capture a copy of notes to a digital medium in real-time while also operating like a normal pen/pencil. From what i can tell, capturing the orientation and positioning doesn't seem feasible yet and using image capture doesn't seem great either because of privacy and cost.
IIRC none of the available Go releases at the time the decision to switch to Rust was made (<=1.10, I think?) addressed their particular issue, and by the time a Go release did fix their issue (1.12?) they were pretty far along with their rewrite.

Not entirely sure that I have the Go versions right, but that's what I remembered off the top of my head.
This is a curious assumption. Why would the small number of astronomers get ownership over the resource of the night sky instead of the much larger population of people who want internet?

Duck Duck Go is a reskin of Bing Search. It's not a real search engine in the 2020 meaning of the word.

A conservative, evangelical Christian answer would probably be something like "the point is to please each other, and sex toys are about pleasing yourself" or "sex toys encourage masturbation, which is a sin." Then you'd point out that many sex toys are meant for partners to use together, and they might reply back "ah, but Genesis says that husband and wife should be one flesh, not flesh and plastic" but would probably ultimate agree that sex toys, when used exclusively between a cis-male and cis-female, married couple, could be not sinful in some circumstances.

A cynic would probably say that, like many such issues, it's ultimately about maintaining control over women.
Legend has it that he threw a development team and a multitouch capacitive display in a fire and then pulled a fully built, finished iPhone from the flames.
That may be the argument, but the result is that managing the free apps by companies like Facebook and Google in the App Store are subsidized by taking that 30% from tiny outfits like OmniGroup and Panic, that make paid productivity apps.

Responding to many of the arguments I read around on Twitter: I don’t see how anyone can use the word “fair” to describe this arrangement, no matter how many ways people compare it to a console like Nintendo.
For me it's not a deal breaker (in fact Muse looks awesome and I'll be checking it out soon!) but is a bad smell that could be a deal breaker if there's other things that feel off. Don't know if this applies to others who say it's a deal breaker, but I have a grasp on my own psychology.

If an email is required and not optional, it's because the service/provider needs it for the service to work. If I'm using an online service providing my email is obviously for reasons that make my own experience better. If using an completely offline app, there is no clear way it makes my own experience better, so it must be entirely for THEIR benefit, which brings up what they're doing with that data.
As a user when being introduced to a new product it's like meeting someone new and picking up on subtle social cues and deciding if they are trustworthy or not.

As a founder myself I know being able to identify users can benefit them. It's also irrational that signing up for an online service bypasses this gut check. However psychology is rarely rational.
Here's that code written by someone who has used Javascript in the last 10 years:

(function () {
for (const node of document.querySelectorAll('body *')) {
if (['fixed', 'sticky'].includes(getComputedStyle(node).position)) {
node.style.display = 'none'
// node.remove()
}
}
})()

I found tree mutation too aggressive in the first site I tested it on (the site's JS code expected the navbar to exist, so it just blew up with runtime errors). Simply changing the display property is sufficient.
Seems like you responded to the wrong comment.
The first 40 floors of the World Trade Center, both towers, had every steel beam covered in asbestos. The collapse released 2,000 tons of fibers into the atmosphere on 9/11/01.
Warrens actions were misguided, but it’s a stretch to read malice into it. To me the line not to cross is marginalising the voices or representation of those genuinely culturally indigenous, or of a minority.
This is quite a ballsy move, since they literally told a judge to her face a few days ago that not being able to release this update would cause them incalculable harm. (In their hearing they asked for a temporary restraining order stopping apple from blocking their updates on precisely these grounds. Request was denied since the judge ruled their problem was of their own making, and thus something they could easily fix themselves with no need fo a TRO).
On my Pixel 4 it's just "squeeze to talk", which is super convenient (and also doesn't interfere with the "Hey Google" on my smart speaker). It's marginally faster to open e-mail by voice than by tapping, although not hugely so.
Idea: flat charge to export the entire library to a standard or competing format. Could vary if the library is particularly large or end format proprietary.

That way people who hate subscriptions or lock-in know they have an out and don’t have to lose anything.
This keeps coming up but it's not factual

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tiktok-china-state-medi...

According to Lee Kai-Fu who launched Google in China: "Chinese laws are clear about what foreign companies can do to operate in China. In TikTok's case, though, the company was left no choice but to consider a forced sale."

China doesn't not allow western companies to operate. Google proactively made the choice to exit China (it also somewhat didn't. Google ads has a sizable market share in China as does Facebook). I'm not arguing that they should have elected to follow Chinese laws but the actions the Chinese government took with western companies was not to either tell them to stop existing in the Chinese market or abdicate their ownership to a domestic company.

These were also the same laws domestic companies follow.

Conversely, I don't see the executive actions being applied to TikTok applied uniformly to the US market.
Yay! no AMP!

Every news article will be exclusively published to Apple News, all websites will have to switch to Apple Sign-in, users will need to pay $100 / yr to "cover the cost" of running Apple crawlers and all websites will pay 30% of their revenue to Apple to stay listed.
It makes sense as a concept. In practice, it may lead to very unfortunate feedback effects if deployed at scale.
Even accepting this terrible analogy, the sticker in this case is NOT a giant sticker on the box but rather a leaflet inside the box that the user has paid for.
Frankly, you can't get that specific experience without having a job doing it. Most everyone who has it today is because they grew with something from early on, or had a job interning or potentially did really well on the interview problems. I started on smaller systems that were distributed in the 90's then we went to large client/server then of course back to distributed solutions with the web. For me I scaled with a few different companies, the first problem I worked was initially small but went from 10's of thousands of users to millions of active users per week in like 6-9 months (dotcom days) so to me that was crazy stuff. Today what we did wouldn't be so remarkable but it was at the time and led me to keep solving problems like that.

I'll suggest a couple of things to try (not necessarily any order or preference). Do what most current people have done, get in on a small startup/company that hasn't yet scaled and scale up with the team. At the same time you should study up on scale problems so that you know the issues/answers even though you haven't dealt with them yet yourself. The study part will help with interviews until you have the experience to point at -- but even then you still need to understand the problems.

One other idea which is a little more involved, but pretty fun too. Create your own public experiment using one of the cloud providers where you build an endpoint/site that does some complex problem (pick something in the area you want to get a job) concurrently and then load test it and work through issues so that you can point someone to that repository as part of your learning experience. I have actually done this myself a number of times experimenting, not really for showing anyone but so I could understand issue(s) better. You might blow a few bucks (nothing crazy) on AWS or GCP/Azure to experiment but it will be invaluable for your knowledge.

As a hiring tech mgr when I am hiring for scale I look at people who have the experience first, those who have attempted and have the fundamentals second and lastly I'll consider someone smart who has the education (informal or formal) but lacks the experience if they have the enthusiasm and right attitude. I don't think I am unique in that thought process, maybe that helps you think through it.
