Quora is doing a lot of things 'wrong.' Wrong as in, choices that produce a low quality service (eg dark patterns, maximizing for volume of content which has led to vast amounts of marketing spam posing as real content), not wrong as in they have no traffic. They get to play by different rules for the same reason Pinterest does, inside-SV favoritism: Google protects Quora from being punished for all the things they do that directly violate Google's search engine rules that would get anybody else penalized heavily [1]. It has been talked about on HN for many years, it's clearly a different set of rules.

Further, Quora - as with Stack Overflow and Wikipedia - had the benefit of arriving on the scene before Google closed the door to easy SEO, easy search engine traffic. Quora is already inside, entrenched Web bloatware, they can get away with more in part because of that.

[1] I'll provide a prominent example of this Google / Quora SEO fraud in action.

If you check out this Quora Q&A page:

"What makes Napoleon Bonaparte such a famous icon?"

https://www.quora.com/What-makes-Napoleon-Bonaparte-such-a-f...

And then if you, as a human, click on a right side bar of links ("Related Questions"; on mobile it's just below the top answer) - when you perform that action, they blur out your experience and present you with a content blocking prompt that hides all the content from you, attempting to force a sign-up. One of Google's fundamental content rules is that you must present page content to them, to their bot, the same as you do a normal human user of your site. If you violate that, much less do so egregiously, they'll penalize your content heavily. Do you suppose Quora is giving the Google bot that same experience, blocking Google bot's every attempt to crawl from page to page and trying to force Google bot to sign-up using a dark pattern? Of course not, and thus it's fraud in action. Google doesn't give a shit because they have zero integrity as an organization. It's one of the more blatant examples of Google hypocrisy as a search engine and it has been on-going for many years now, and pointed out constantly in tech circles and yet it persists, so we know Google is doing it with full knowledge and intent (thus it's an inside-SV favoritism action, Quora gets to play by different rules than everybody else).

I think that’s just for lower orbits, I was under the impression our geosynchronous satellites will be up there for millions of years (unless future humanity cleans up the geosynchronous graveyard orbit)
After 50 years of agonizing over why I failed academically, I realized the problem was my "inability to organize and to sustain a directed effort". So I would tell myself: 1) to explicitly work on organizing my efforts as opposed to relying on my ad hoc approach; 2) to develop formal routines intended to help me sustain my efforts by frequently renewing my commitment to those efforts; and 3) to work on formally defining my goals rather than working from hazy intuition.

Also, I would tell myself to work my butt off during the week and kick back on the weekend.

The VM is different somehow, as it can dynamically free RAM when the rest of the system needs it, whereas normal Hyper-V VMs capture all of the RAM they ever need and never give it back (this was a problem with Docker Desktop, as if I had my browser and Spotify up, it wouldn’t be able to start because it couldn’t reserve enough RAM. Now, since they ship it as a WSL2 distro, it works fine).

A similar strategy is used for Windows Sandbox and Defender Application Guard (which run Windows in a proto VM so applications like web browsers can’t access the rest of the system). Interestingly, graphics acceleration also works completely like native (at least to my fairly untrained eye), without assigning a discrete GPU. I think this also happens in WSL2.

I think your mistake is assuming “cancellation” is only applied to the rich and powerful, but it has become used more and more against non public persons, who often have not even done what they are accused of, or at the very least the accusations against them are greatly exaggerated.
To me, what matters most is privacy and freedom. -> Open-source transparency of code, data, and all that happens with it. (Including the ability to fully control and see what's happening in your system at the network level, like OpenSnitch - https://github.com/gustavo-iniguez-goya/opensnitch).

I don't see any of MSFT's actions threatening this on a really big picture level. It's always been and always will be up to 'the community' to build and make Linux and free software what it is.

Linux, especially Linux Desktop, is wonderfully flourishing right now, and I don't think it's because 'MS hasn't offered a more compelling alternative to Linux' in the cloud. More largely, it's because we've built what we've wanted. Maybe I'm naive about what we've been ungratefully depending on. If so, I'd settle for a mildly cautious and watchful neutral ground. All I can say is, please contribute to Linux and FOSS if you can. I do.
Yes, and a kettle is a likely candidate for the cause of a trip, but (in normal operation) the vast majority aren't near that, a little over half.

AmazonBasics kettle (first result for searching kettle) for example is rated 1.5kW.

I'm just sceptical that all American kettles can suck, and mains voltage be the cause. If that were the only reason, and otherwise you'd all love them, you'd have a 'kettle socket' on higher amperage, as for ovens (here too, 32A).
the real question is , what kind of technologies and how much effort do you assume we would have to detect it?

if a time traveller came to us, from the past , into the present ( which is possible if they discovered near speed of light travel) ---and they told us that an amazing civilization used to exist 300,000 years ago and they told us to spend billlions of dollars and tons of effort to look for it. i think we could accomplish that, especially if it were an international collaboration. now, if only a few academic anthropoligists in a few limited yet presitigoius universities were sent on missions to find it, we'd have much less of a chance. ---everything is probabilities. so the real question is, how much persuading would it take, to make enough people interested, as a collective, to raise the probability to become very likely.....what if some snake oil salesman told you he was from 300,000 years ago and travelled at .98c and slowed down to reach the present while everyone else died. how much 'proof' of that trip, would he need to covincne you to abandon your life now to become indiana jones, or to spend $5,000 of your savings on his non-profit search committee.

Sales isn't hard. You just go do it, then you iterate and adapt. With an engineering background, you'll be a better sales person in a week than your average sales person probably in their career.

Why? Because you will observe what works and what doesn't; you'll listen to what the customer says and understand what they're looking for; you know your product and will have great answers. You'll quickly hone your message and most importantly, you'll constantly adapt what you say to the next customer learning from the last. Basically, your sales pitch is going to improve exponentially.

Believe me, I've experienced this. As an engineer with no sales training, I agreed to help a friend sell his product at a week-long major "show". Turns out sales is just another system, a system with rules, which makes it an engineering problem to be solved.

Good luck!

No wonder there is an increasing income inequality of the middle-class and below when they can't catch a break while the rich are mostly left unimpeded with tax evasion.
I'm not really convinced that's the case. As I mentioned, the Russian system is apparently very much like this, and they don't seem to have a problem producing large numbers of advanced quantitative thinkers. I also take a little exception to the implication that I wasn't one of the "smart ones." I had no problem doing what I was taught, I got good grades at at an advanced prep school, and I scored just fine on standardized tests. I basically succeeded according to every standard set by the system, and yet I wouldn't say I really learned very much. To me that signifies a real problem. I certainly deserve some of the blame, but definitely not all of it.
'Cost effectiveness' doesn't help them since they don't get to use the money they collect in their own budget.

They can't choose to spend more, knowing they will make it back.... they don't have the money to invest in going after rich tax payers. They can only spend the budget they are given, and that isn't enough to go after rich people, even if it would bring more money in.
the u.s. populatino didn't used to be this way. teh invention of cheap oil big asphalt and big cars led to people living farther away in more spread out sprawaled areas. i'm not saying that's bad if you like it, i like rural or dense cities, but spread out suburbs, have a high cost in the end of the day. time, oil, accidents, traffic. thing is, it's not black or white, but a matter of degree. that's what makes it a tough discussion.
People in crypto have this bizarre fantasy of the IRS as a place where they still keep everything in paper files.

The IRS processes more tax returns every year than the entire EU combined. It switched to digital files a long time ago. If you file your return by paper, it gets scanned into a digital copy and the original gets carted off to a warehouse somewhere in the mid-West. If you get audited, the auditor is looking at a digital copy of your file. If they are looking at a paper copy, it is because they printed that copy out for personal convenience.

If you send the IRS 20 kilos of papers, the people who they hire seasonally will process your 20 kilos of papers and an automated system will scan and convert each and every page. Though generally, if your tax return would exceed a certain length, you are now required to file electronically and any supporting attachments are to be kept on file so they can be requested by the IRS as necessary.

(On a somewhat bizarre note, the tax court requires paper copies of all filings and documents, though in some circuits the tax court now allows discovery to be satisfied through the provisioning of digital copies.)
1) Canada also has lower income taxes than the US when doing an itemized return.

2) But Canadian tech salaries are like the EU, in that they're unbelievably low compared to the US. The US TN visa is known as the easiest work visa, so Canadians can work in the US easily on a temp work visa.

3) Part of the reason that SV pays so high for devs is that the interview process filters out 99.9% of candidates, so it takes 6 months to hire anybody in SF.

It's partly because the coding interview has escalated from whiteboard to electronic with tests (2018) to electronic with advanced algorithms with tests (2020). Am seeing electronic tests with questions in 4 languages(!) with tests now (late 2020.)
You’re being downvoted but I agree with your opinion.

This blogpost doesn’t show any UIs built with this rust paradigm, and the github homepage only displays a few screenshots of a calculator app.

Technically, it appears interesting. Practically, it seems very far off from the tools I use to build usable (or hopefully aesthetically pleasing) UIs.
I'd be very careful with this. While it's true that this can happen, you could be burning a lot of bridges if you did this. I would see how other people are treated when they quit and see if they get rid of people right away or honor the two week notice before pulling this. You could make the entire department hate you on top of obviously never being able to work at that company again.

A crypto transaction is a transaction of a capital asset, so yes, it is exactly that and Sean should choose to use regular USD next time if he doesn't want to track all of his capital asset transactions. You live by the sword, you die by the sword, and all that.

But generally if your return would exceed a certain length you now have to file electronically.
Oracle's "package" feature is useful for organizing methods. A package is the SQL equivalent of a static class. One can put SQL methods inside a package.

Firebird db is the only other database I know of that has package functionality. For a portable database, that is pretty impressive...
Swissmicros seems to focus on the classic HP lines which were RPN based. I have a few HP calculators as well as a couple of SwissMicros and am happy to have the updated version.
Maybe put it in another way. If Facebook is only a platform of communication, just like telephone or email, no one is going to have a ground to complain about Facebook inability to ban or ignore crime or hate speech or whatever unpleasant thing people like to ban it.

However, Facebook choose to use algorithmic feed to provide new information to user, then it become a media company in this sense. So as a traditional media company of course Facebook has the responsibility to ensure the content is suitable for public even if Facebook is not the producer of the content. Just give user chronological feed if they don't want to invest the effort. Facebook can't maintain its business model while tried to dodge responsibility.

After all, the problem is most people accept this kind of business model and most people don't care. When social media come to power they have enough capital for lobbying to persuade the government not to outlaw their business model.
The models are so unwieldy that had the big companies not handled the training and infrastructure, no one would be able to explore these models. We would have had no democratization.

Are these big firms are beholden to open up their work to the public for this utopian ideal of democratization?
Hm, I actually did the full pay calculation included payrolls a month ago for myself last year. Granted, I was in washington last year, but between federal income taxes, social security, and medicare mine was about 27% on 221k income as a single person with no kids and I'm including the employer payroll taxes as part of that income. Converting USD to CAD gets you 294,528 which has an average tax rate of 41.69% according to this website [0] and it doesn't include your payroll tax.

As for healthcare, vision, and dental for a single person with no kids my employer paid $8,800 for the year, I paid 150, I get to put $3,500 pretax income into a HSA for healthcare spending, and my max out of pocket spending is $2,600 so that's not really a concern for me.

Quick tip for Quora: you can append ?share=1 to get around signup walls.
The OP meant something more along the lines of "failed to be as popular as Unity/Unreal/Godot?" not "failed to find some users"
Agree that Pet Sounds was very influential especially in music production, and has some great tracks. To my ears though it sounds incredibly dated, like a time capsule of sappy 60s teenage pop or music you'd hear on a TV show from the 60s-70s. There's something about the Beach Boys - especially their vocals - that fail to transcend that era.

I guess the test for me is what the listening experience is like. Certain musical sounds / conventions / lyrics tend to be rooted in their era, like Beach Boys 'ba- ba ba ba ba-', falsetto harmonies, instruments & production method, etc. Altogether they're pretty distracting make it harder to enjoy the many good parts.
I'm not sure about the US but this is definitely not the case in the rest of the developed world.

It actually is in the EU, and most of Asia.

You are saying that every American citizen when they travel overseas, exchanging money and purchasing items on their card have to report that to the IRS?

That is not forex investing.

For most American citizens, the only taxable forex transaction would be when they convert the foreign currency back to USD, because that is the point at which the change in exchange rates may have created conversion-related gain or loss. (I.e., very simplified example: you paid $100 USD for $100 AUD on arriving in Sydney Australia, and paid $100 AUD for $110 USD leaving Australia, resulting in forex gain because the AUD became worth more by the time you left.) However, if you are not a person who regularly trades currencies, generally you don't have to report forex gain unless it exceeds $200 for the year (in the US; the threshold differs for each country).
And anything that went to solar orbit will be the more or less for ever, subject only to the slow erosion of thermal cycles over the eons. And all Pioneers, Voyagers and New Horizons will not have to sustain even that, just comic rays.

BTW, it's a bit mind boggling how big and empty even just interplanetary space is - there could be wrecks of an unlucky discovery fleet paying a visit couple milion years ago and we might never find them unless they come really close to Earth or other sensor rich human inhabitted place or possibly still produce some active emissions (outgassing, sporadic radio signals, abnormal heat absorption/radiation, weird albedo variations, etc.).
Well, the switch takes about five minutes.

Go does things very differently. They will probably roll their own drivers at some point and run directly on Xen or KVM. The designers of Go have a lot of problems with evolution of Unix in general. So it is understandable that they don't want to get involved with libc clusterfluck.
I do wonder what the legal basis for copyrightability is here; to some extent, this sounds like the publishing companies might be making legal arguments up that would not stand up in court.

Song melodies are copyrightable, as are recordings, and lyrics. But chord progressions are not. So a guitar tab containing only chords (not lead melodies) and no guide lyrics sounds to me like it ought to be entirely fair to publish. Of course, many tabs include lyrics or other elements that verge into copyright infringement, but the idea that all tabs are necessarily derivative from the original song and subject to its copyright sounds wrong on the face of it.

Taken to the logical extreme, we'll have privatized road services, privatized police and firefighters, and privatized postal services. This is an even worse race to the bottom where some areas just don't get served at all because it's no longer lucrative. Or people who live in areas that were previously served but no longer maintained have nothing to do because the company that was handling the roads is cutting costs. Their only option is to move but that's not easy. Some things just have to be handled by the government and I'd argue the US does a horrible job at this. USPS funding is going down and healthcare and insurance sucks.

The IRS isn't collecting more taxes. Even a kid would know they aren't even allowed to do that. They're just collecting taxes that are already owed. If the government wanted to increase taxes then they could already do that right now but they aren't because no one would vote for them. Increasing IRS funding would help the government collect taxes from the people who owe them which would lower the overall tax burden of the average tax payer (assuming they actually pay taxes).

If it costs the IRS $100 to collect $1000 then that means that's $900 less that everyone else needs to pay.
Yup and it’s about to get worse because many panicked and decided to abandon cities over COVID fears. Viva decentralisation!

Perhaps Mr Putin has realized how vulnerable he is to such attacks. Russia is not one culture. It is many cultures with rivalries and histories of animosity. It may not be widely realized, but Russians make heavy use of western social media. A well organized social media attack could inflame hatred and encourage demands for self rule. Sustained over several years it could cause widespread civil strife and threaten the Moscow government.

I am the one you are asking.

Manifestly, the B extension isn't in any of the chips being produced now, to my knowledge. It's a proposed extension, not finalized. So, until it is finalized, I don't expect it to be implemented in production. We don't know how long it will be until it is finalized, but the draft had not been updated in more than a year, when I last checked. For all we know, it may never become a standard extension. Somebody said they were trying to get the POPCOUNT instruction removed even from the extension, or made an optional part of it.

It's a large extension, so (like other large extensions) it won't be implemented on the smaller chips that will also lack, e.g., floating point or vector units, or 64-bit registers and instructions, and for the same reason.

I don't know why I would need sources. What seems surprising about the statement that something that is not considered finished is not being built into chips, or that something huge will not be included in small chips?
A Microsoft Linux distribution would be very interesting.

Maybe PowerShell would be the default command-line interface.

VS Code would be the default text editor.

.NET Core programming languages would be in the default SDK with the ability to seamlessly develop applications and push to Azure.

They could even include a way to run legacy Windows applications to maintain backward compatibility with all the previous Windows applications--a Windows subsystem for Linux.

Seriously though, if Microsoft created a full desktop Linux distro I would definitely want to try it.

Look, I get it, but you swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this nation.

You didn’t swear that you would uphold the Constitution unless it made you feel bad.

You didn’t swear to uphold “just the parts that are cool.”

Letting political opinions and currents push you to the point of sedition just because things don’t go your way isn’t rational, IMHO.

Take a beat, relax, get your wits about you, and you’ll see it’s all going to be okay in the long run.
