Do you have a source for that? If I'm not mistaken it was talked around here in the past about them taking the wallets and keys portion from cryptocurrencies.
The product is conceptually simple, but nailing the press fit on every block has got to require tight quality control- which is something fly-by-night knockoffs have never been known for.
It's only a thing in an extremely high gravity gradient, such that one end of you experiences far higher gravitational forces than the other. This means that while you are in freefall "on average", overall there is a stretching effect as parts of you closer to the source of gravity try to accelerate faster and parts farther away are lagging behind.
It was Sketchfab which is basically the YouTube of 3D models, so not unreasonable to whitelist them for embeds.
Which earplugs did you try and what is their frequency attenuation? If they are designed for musicians, they may attenuate all frequencies equally.

I often sleep with Ohropax foam earplugs. They eliminate the high frequencies like sirens. They reduce the mid-range and low frequencies, too. Conversation becomes muffled quiet mumbling. Noises can transmit through the frame of the frame of the building, my bed frame, my mattress, my pillow, and my head. Luckily, such noises are rare in my building. I'm not distracted by my body's internal sounds.

I tried many many kinds of earplugs. The Ohropax ones work the best for me. I can wear them for 2-3 sleep cycles (3-4.5 hours) before my ears hurt, but only if I insert them far enough into my ears. For smaller ears, Mack's Dreamgirl earplugs are good.

Yo, I’m on an old SE and I can’t click the consent. It doesn’t scroll, and it’s off screen.
I'd pay for YouTube Premium if it was just ad-free, and didn't bundle Red and Music. I'd easily pay 5$CAD/month for it, but at 15$CAD, it's a fairly steep price, and still doesn't remove all pop-ups and such.

Vanced provides the YouTube I want, I'd pay it that was available.
Of course, a very very eccentric ellipse approximates a parabola quite well. You only start to notice errors when dealing with trajectories dozens of miles long (on Earth).

I agree. Boswellia is native to the region. There is a planting project going on in Yemen for specific species but the fighting has complicated the project.

I used to manage a fairly popular web site. About 30,000 unique visitors a day. Harmless content about a particular profession. Informative. Updated almost daily. Ranked #1 for dozens of terms for years and years.

Then one day Google decided it didn’t like the site and it disappeared from the results. You could do a site: search and the pages would come up, so they were indexed. But they just didn’t rank anymore. Webmaster Tools was zero help. Showed everything was normal. No errors. No oddities.

The obvious notion is that it got hacked or there was content spam or something like that, but there wasn’t. No commenting system to game. Pages were all static HTML with no ads. Not even JavaScript to screw with.

The regulars kept coming, but with no Google referrals, traffic dwindled. I eventually took it offline since it wasn’t fun anymore.

The Google giveth, and the Google taketh away.

Yeah I guess at some point people just assume that "a few rolls of quarters a day" is a fringe benefit of the job. Everybody does it so it's okay, right?
I thought that the Earth curved spacetime, and since an inertial observer approaching the earth would follow a straight line through curved spacetime, they'd appear to be following a curved line through space towards the earth.

What's confusing me here is the notion that when two objects collide, they accelerate into each other. Why and how is force constantly applied after the collision? My intuition is falling down here, and none of the resources I've looked at so far have explained why the acceleration happens.
He did.

There are examples where another company copied the instructions manual with specific creations. Even if any protection for the “disc with slots” concept are invalid, there is likely some protection for the manuals. Of course all of this boils down to having enough money for lawyers to defend
Yuuuuuuup lol, under penalty for almost a decade now.

In my case I had a forum (remember those!) in support of my software product.

Bots would occasionally create accounts and post links to knockoff handbags and watches. I'd tolerate (and swiftly kill!) them because our users really loved having a place to meet. (This was back in 2011, ironically, reCAPCTAHA landed in 2012)

Unbeknownst to me those links were part of a larger spam network where thousands of low-quality links pointed back to my site, presumably to those fake accounts(?).

When the penalty hit the process of trying to figure out what the heck went wrong and trying to do something about it -- identical.

In short, I've been penalized out of existence because of an obvious and in my humble opinion, easy to identify spam campaign. Sadly Google placed the cleanup burden on me, and try as I did nothing actually helped. The article's mention "hidden" penalties feels...accurate.

I often tell folks when you perform a Google search you're given worse results than you deserve. My site and goodness knows how many others have been placed so far below the fold that if we're not outright killed, we never reach the users and potential we should.

No biggie if the search market were more diverse, sadly, that is simply not the world we live in.
> I'm not sure its that easy to get, say, a million dollars in quarters, even if you have a million dollars in funds.

This is probably the main thing preventing Garda from just writing it off as a cost of business.

Of course if they own up to the thefts the problem goes away -- their customers are all banks, who would in fact probably prefer to have FEDWIRE dollars rather than coins.
I think less 'fake news' and more like spitballing, personally. The article even ends in a 'could.' I think there is space for postulating on the implications of an event. We only see brief windows into what actually happens in discussions on capitol hill anyway, so idle speculation based on what we do see is expected.
You're a DBA.
I don't understand why what the ducklings are doing is considered desirable. So their cognition prioritizes following same-coloured shapes. So what? Why is that the right thing to do?

It reminds me of Sherlock Holmes, where he makes these completely unjustified guesses and then calls them "induction". Yes, there was orange peel in the bin outside and Mr Jenndar likes oranges but so does 32% of the population.

Combining neural and symbolic AI is exciting, I just don't get the example.

[1] sounds like a good quote, but keep in mind that the author of that quote was a tacit supporter of Leininsm and Stalinism, and initially supported East Germany's murderous repression of union labor.

In practice many people who "hate politics" are, I think, at least partially motivated by not desiring to get into conversations with people who would call them "illiterate" and "imbecile" for, yanno, not supporting evil authoritarianism and the nonsense pseudophilosophy that motivates it.

I think many people would not "hate politics" were it not for the nature of the politically-motivated to look down on those who disagree.
How is this not a reinvention of restful page loaded websites? I understand that it doesn’t require reloading pages on requests but I don’t see that as a fundamental difference.
It doesn't look like there is any penalty against The Online Slang Dictionary. Google even one-boxes their site as the preferred answer for some searches!

For example:

https://www.google.com/search?q=slang+dictionary+%22as+much+...

https://www.google.com/search?q=slang+dictionary+%22squeege%...

For some queries, Online Slang Dictionary even ranks above sites like Stack Exchange or Urban Dictionary. (Usually Urban Dictionary isn't so reputable, but for this sort of query, it's probably pretty relevant.)

What's the evidence here - some anonymous Google employee claimed the site was penalized back in 2013? That is not "hard confirmation" at all. Most likely, the site is not penalized at all. It just doesn't show up as often as Urban Dictionary and sites like english.stackexchange.com, and the operator is angry about that, but it honestly just isn't quite as good as those sites.

Is there a set of earphones that's repairable? Not full-size cans, but earphones?

Most of the ones I've had have that have failed did so at the cable connection. Without the cable I'd imagine these will last longer than your average pair of earphones, and I don't see them creating much more waste; less if anything.

An intuitive way to tell if something is a "real" force (as proposed to a pseudo- or fictitious force) - can someone subject to that force feel it, or equivalently, can an accelerometer measure the acceleration it produces?

When you accelerate or decelerate in a vehicle, you feel it. But when you jump out of a plane and accelerate towards the ground, you don't feel a force.

Noticing this fact was a big part of what led Einstein to his equivalence principle and General Relativity.

Is there such thing as a force then, I heard they invented some model in which fundamental forces are just curves in folded dimensions or something.

That is a valid path for the light to follow, hypothetically.

But if that's what the light was doing, you wouldn't see it. You can only see things when light enters your eyes.
Apparently, the site's whole purpose is to redirect to the current day's NYT front page.

It didn't work for me either, but yesterday's link works:

Perhaps the redirect logic should be adjusted to link to the previous day, until the current day's page is published/ready.

The only way $1M makes sense is if you are describing the entire project cost for a fairly basic electronics product including tooling, salaries, marketing, compliance, manufacturing fixturing, etc.

Same principle as "why vegans live healthier". It's not because their diet is actually healthier per-se, same as healing crystals do not work. But a vegan person, same as a person using healing crystals is likely to be a strongly biased sample of the population. They tend to be more aware of their lives, their bodies and the consequences of what they do to their bodies. And that, as a net effect, yields a healthier lifestyle on average.

But an unhealthy person will never get healthy by eating vegan, same as they won't get healthy by using healing crystals. It only works if you embrace the lifestyle and accept it mentally and become a "biased sample" yourself.

There's a massive difference between states and cities. Are you talking about states now?

Why are you comparing service workers in Florida to software engineers in California? Being in the service industry is worse in CA than FL, even with a higher min wage (which usually increases cost of living just as much). And there's not much of a middle class in CA either regardless of industry, in fact the entire state is known for its vast wealth inequality and disappearance of the middle class.

As far as affordability of housing in SF, it's because of city policies that refuse to let new housing be built, not because people don't make enough to buy a home. Same with extremely high taxes that deliver no value to citizens while the city is overrun with crime and homelessness and deteriorating infrastructure. This is separate from employment, and really needs to be fixed first before you can increase opportunities for people.
I've mentioned prominent example, there is underlying problem

class Foo {}
typeof Foo
//"function"
Foo instanceof Function
//true

Is there underscore here? How about

typeof Object
//"function"
typeof Function
//"function"
Object instanceof Function
Object instanceof Object
Function instanceof Function
Function instanceof Object

How many underscores there? And looks like you don't know about

Object.getPrototypeOf
Object.setPrototypeOf
Reflect.getPrototypeOf
Reflect.setPrototypeOf

without underscore and you blame I don't know this land.

You've got burned by Java and C++, bad for you. There are other languages — Python and Ruby (last example). JS [[Prototype]] is equivalent of class hierarchy.

Chuck Swindoll was once a fan of that poem, but came around to a higher truth. I couldn't find the radio sermon where he used it as an example but the truth is that at some point you ought to learn that 1) there's quite a lot directing your fate other than yourself, and 2) you can't save yourself--any more than Baron Munchausen could pull himself out of the water by his own ponytail.

Ask HN: How to Invest in Private Companies
Hey everyone,

I'd like to buy stock in late-stage tech companies but am not sure how to get started. I've seen a few second market platforms like EquityZen and Forge but they don't seem to have many opportunities for the companies that I'm interested in. In particular, I'd love to invest in Stripe.

> public companies could pay a small tax in lieu of paying an auditing firm, and the auditing could be done by government-employed accountants who are beholden to the public interest

Oh man, I am starting an accounting firm if this gets traction.

Not only will the government-employed auditors get paid, but companies wanting to avoid embarrassing findings will pay for pre-audits. Then, when the right administration comes in, the government audits will be outsourced.
You are still simply going with one glass of wine will affect everyone equally, and that is proven to be untrue. (Or stress, for that matter)

The lobbying efforts of the manufacturers of the chemicals are a major contributor:

The legislators wrote that the “worst tactics outlined in the Chicago Tribune series — which we each saw some of firsthand in our states — included: deliberately misrepresenting the science around flame retardant chemicals relating to both their effectiveness and their health risks; employing an expert witness who repeatedly invoked a phony story of a child dying in a fire in order to justify flame retardant mandates; creating a front group called ‘Citizens for Fire Safety’ to counter the opposition to flame retardants among firefighters and health organizations; and using racial profiling to mislead community leaders about the impacts of toxic flame retardant chemicals.”

...

These powerful industries distorted science in ways that overstated the benefits of the chemicals, created a phony consumer watchdog group that stoked the public's fear of fire and helped organize and steer an association of top fire officials that spent more than a decade campaigning for their cause.

Hey, my comment wasn't meant in a defending manner...I'm just curious whether I maybe missed a new approach to gathering DNS data :)

I've seen some new protocols that try to build a trustless blockchain inspired system, but they aren't really there yet and sometimes still have recursion problems.

When I was visiting a friend in France I first realized how much is censored there by ISPs and cloudflare/google and others, so that's why I decided it might be a good approach to have a ronin here.

I totally agree that threat model isn't documented. Currently the peer to peer stuff is mostly manual, as there's no way to discover peers (yet). So you would have to add other local machines yourself in the browser settings.

Security wise there's currently a lot of things that are changing, such as the upcoming DNS tunnel protocol that can use dedicated other peers that are connected to the clearnet already by encapsulating e.g. https inside dns via fake TXT queries etc.

> public dns could be considered private

Totally agree here, I tried to find as many DoT and DoH dns servers as possible, and the list was actually longer before.

In 2019 a lot of dns providers went either broke or went commercial (like nextdns which now requires a unique id per user, which defeats the purpose of it completely)... But maybe someone knows a good DoH/DoT directory that's better than the curl wiki on github?
