After reading both of those articles... what's the reason behind it? The first article gives us nothing but definitions (it's oriented toward the consumer, so it doesn't spend any time prescribing vendor behavior). The second article has a section titled "How to Help Your Customers Rationalize Post-Purchase", which lists a bunch of things you can do to help your customers avoid buyer's remorse, but I don't see how any of their recommendations support the behavior being discussed.

When I was 16 about, I read a biography of Howard Hughes. The only thing that really stuck with me was a line regarding the Hughes empire in the 70s when he was at his craziest but the money still kept pouring in, the idea was that basically once you got to a certain size there is a long time before your mismanagement can hope to decrease the money flow.

The notion of denial makes sense in that context. I reflect on depressive times and I really was in denial; that's been clear to me in many moments. I'd speak to people like everything was AWESOME after leaving my home from a morning of intense self-loathing and resentment - the kinds of gut-wrenching thoughts and feelings you'd reserve for someone you hate with all your heart. And I'd kind of believe myself for even minutes at a time. The denial was strong. Denial or pure escapism, I'm not really sure.

What else can you do when you're hurting like that though. I mean, if you don't have the tools to cope, the mental capacity to endure much more, the experience to draw on to recognize the patterns and trajectories and so on. You're practically forced to deny or defer it when you're unequipped to manage it.
> There's no comparison to how blacks were treated in America, we are not barbarians. There's no colored bathrooms and stuff like that.

At least in America now there are laws specifically disallowing discrimination against blacks and minorities. But it appears in Romania and the rest of Eastern Europe there is still widespread discrimination against the Roma. Looks pretty barbaric to me!

> THIS GUY LOVES BUYING VACUUMS HERE ARE SOME MORE VACUUMS

Everyone thinks this problem is really annoying, but to me it's a good sign - it indicates the current technical capabilities on using and abusing personal information is still limited, the predicted machine learning apocalypse is not here yet. In other words: despite the large quantity of personal information collected by advertisers, they still cannot exploit it efficiently enough, so far all they can do mostly is showing you the same things over and over - advertisers are still unable to develop a perfectly manipulative algorithm that makes you buy things (edit: or they have it, but it's still not found in wider deployment).

Effectiveness of targeted ads directly translates to effectiveness of mass surveillance. Perhaps we should enjoy the useless shopping recommendations from Amazon for now. When every single shopping recommendations made by the algorithm is the thing you always wanted (coming soon!), you'll know the cyberpunk dystopia is officially here.

This point of view also reconciles the two different opinions on machine learning in the tech community. The first person tells you that it's nothing but overhyped marketing, while it has some specialized uses, but everything is exaggerated as "AI" to get money from VCs, and in many areas, it's effectiveness is just too limited. The second person warns you that collecting personal information at an industrial scale is extremely dangerous, with the recent progress on "AI", they can use your data against you in ways never possible before. These two are not a contradiction: The first view is where we were previously, and the next view is where we are going to.

> Effective advertising targets people who are likely to want the product or service already.

The whole point of advertising is getting conversions: convincing people who previously weren't going to buy your product that they should buy your product.

Some of the people that are converted just didn't know about your product, some had forgotten about it, some thought a competitors product was better, etc. So there is a sense in which the vast majority of people you convert aren't people who specifically "don't want" your product. And you're definitely right that this isn't Inception-tier infiltration of the mind. But at the same time, the conversions you are trying to get are the people who don't want your product yet, but just need a tiny push to want it.
> But tides are turning, Google's results are steadily going downhill. Unfortunately it seems to be too much of a daunting task with today's size of the internet to jump in with a viable competitor.

I wonder what portion of the internet you have to scrape to be able to have good results for 90% of queries. An enormous number of my queries end up on Wikipedia somewhere, for example. A lot end up on Stack Overflow. The two of those probably constitute the majority of my searches, and almost certainly a majority of the searches where I really care about the answer (and I'm not just googling whether pirates and ninjas were contemporaries of each other, because why not).

If Google's results are really slipping that much, you can make up for the lack of data by providing better results on the data you do have.

I am curious why something like that hasn't gotten more popular. A search engine that only indexes highly reputable and public sources would be interesting. Wikipedia, dictionaries from somewhere, reputable newspapers globally, etc. Is it just too big of a target for abuse to be viable?

According to https://www.neighborhoodscout.com

SF property crime: 57.01/1000

SF median home: $1,195,367

SF per-capita income: $64k

NYC property crime: 18.64/1000

NYC median home: $1,126,049

NYC per-capita income: $73k

Palo Alto property crime: 22.88/1000

Palo Alto median home: $2,363,833

Palo Alto per-capita income: $89k

Chicago property crime: 32.48/1000

Chicago median home: $272,043

Chicago per-capita income: $34k

So SF has worse property crime even though it is on-par or poorer than NYC and Palo Alto.

From having just stumbled upon it, it looks like Insteon switches can behave similarly, and have the additional nice touch of syncing the indicator LEDs between multiple switches if you wire/configure them correctly.
Most people aren’t free trade absolutists — they want a mixture of free trade and national security.

One example is US ITAR restrictions, which prevent certain technologies being exported.

Another is looking to protect local food supplies against foreign competition — eg, dairy co-ops from foreign mega farms.

There’s lots of empirical evidence that a mixed system is more stable with little to no loss to innovation.

Most recently, COVID demonstrated the problem with foreign supply chains.
For me it was very similar first realization at one point - that people like me really don't have place in this community and the community looks down on me.

It was at the time where I still played games, but already had a kid. Having to pass through difficult boss level would mean literally over a week of my free time. That time would be spent by trying again and again the same thing, because it was simply difficult. But the suggestion that it should be easier was literally mocked and treated as illegimate by far too many people. Then I realized that jounalists that wrote something similar were treated in ridiculously aggressive ways, they are not gamers, they are lazy loosers.

I think that is when I first realized how twisted logic of that community is. In order to not be "lazy" etc, you are expected to spend as much possible on gaming. And people who, like, prioritize schoolwork, work, family, create something whatever else are somehow the mocked weak lazy ones.

I had multiple realizations like that about aspects of gaming culture (I moved from sort of pro-gamer to disliking it all), but that was the first one.

Honestly his progress doesn't seem especially fast.

I think he's spending way too much time on opening theory positional chess, when he'd probably get more bang for his buck drilling more tactics or playing some games with longer time controls.
Cool that the author does this, and has found a method that works for them! However, to be able to spend 2 hours a day on this seems like an indescribable luxury to me. And the quote about netting about 1.5 ELO per day sounds like a linear growth is assumed, which I can assure will not be the case past the initial massive improvements one gets from "not knowing the rules" to "actually starting to get it".

I love solving the odd chess problem here and there, and I whole-heatedly recommend lichess.org for that. The website and app are both great and the problem database is huge and varied. All free, too.
Execution is easy, it just takes money, good ideas are hard to come up with.
Oh of course. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
Congratulations that's a great achievement. I think that almost everyone should be able to achieve a solid 2000 elo rating, with enough dedication over the years. Doing tactics puzzles is one of the most important factors for fast improvements.

> Some day, I want to become a titled player. A candidate master needs an ELO of 2200

2000 and 2200 are completely different skill levels. I have some friends who play chess for more than 10 years in a chess club, starting as a kid, but haven't reached titled skill level yet and probably never will.

My personal advice is: focus on the fun part of chess, there will always be a stronger player, but that doesn't matter.
I've been watching a lot of GM Daniel Naroditsky's "Speedrun" series, where he plays games and teaches you why he's making the moves he's making vs alternatives, starting at a very low rating, to get back to a 3000 rating. He's a great teacher, and I've gotten a lot out of watching that series.

He streams them live, and then edited videos of the games on stream are uploaded on his YouTube channel. Here's the YT playlist for the series:

There is almost no elasticity in current market: DOD, NASA and traditional GTO comsat launches are few in number and not particularly sensitive to price. Payloads routinely cost several times the price of a launch so cheaper launches have little impact.

I can see that someone who wants to be a professional historian of Scandinavia might want to learn Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish; and a historian of Spain might learn Catalan, Spanish, and Galician at the same time.

I am very familiar with macOS's security features. Preventing an application from having something maliciously command them into sending things on the network is not one of the threat models Apple considers (or at least, they have no specific mitigations against this). As a simple (but conspicuous) example, consider an app simply opening a customized HTTP link if Safari was exempt from the firewall to exfiltrate information. There are hundreds of ways to do effectively the same thing more surreptitiously.
Or that we do not believe that full renewable grids are viable yet. Every single non-carbon solution (solar, wind, tidal) I have heard hand-waves away baseload and storage as something that will be solved soon(tm) by liberal application of technology(tm).

Either by magical storage solutions or massive continental / intercontinental "smart" grids that are politically unviable (No country will give up energy security by relying on a source hundres / thousands of miles away).

I would rather we start on something we know works now. Perfect is the enemy of good enough and cost is not a critical factor if you believe climate change is an existential crisis to civilisation / great filter.

I would rather have future generations be in a situation where all they have to have to deal with is decommissioning those plants.

Consider the theory that aliens intent on causing strife are using mind control rays to affect people’s political opinions en masse.

Just for the sake of discussion (a mental experiment of sorts), let us imagine that there is some significant truth to this theory - let's (temporarily) assume(!) it to be True, at least to a significant degree. In this purely hypothetical scenario, might this phenomenon offer some logical explanation for the amount of extreme polarization of opinion that can be witnessed in the world etc.?

The answer is yes. If people’s political opinions were being manipulated by aliens en masse (assumed as a premise), then it would be very likely that the amount of polarization in the world would have some connection to that.

But assuming arbitrary premises like this this doesn’t seem like a very useful way to learn about the real world.
>Their main objective is to make us want things we didn't want before.

The main objective of ads is to connect buyers and sellers via brand recognition. That's why companies spend so much money on advertising.

The problems with digital ads is that they are deceptive, clickbait, annoying, resource hogs, ugly and a source of malware.

For some reason my preferred news site has these shitty low quality clickbait ads that make you lose a lot of brain cells each time you see them.
This seems like a pretty good outcome.

> No usage regression.

I'm calling Bullshit on that. They said the exact same thing for the v2 -> v3 transition of VLC.

And then completely broke playback of my music collection, because the containing folders had square brackets in their name. eg "[2015]" or "[FLAC]"

VLC 2 worked fine with those folders. VLC 3 refuses to recognise music files in those folders. Because square bracket characters "aren't valid URL characters".

We're talking about folder names, not friggin URLs.

That was a regression right there, but they just ignored the problem and refused to fix it.

One of the most usual issues I find with people giving advice is, that they often give very specific advice without being in the position to do so — people like to help but sometimes it is better to say: "This is a complex problem, here are some thoughts and resources how you can tackle it" than going all "I used X, it worked for me, so it will work for you too".
Lots of new players that join up, drop their ELO points into the "bag" and then leave (or if online, sign up new accounts). ELO "points" aren't a finite resource.

I love visiting Italy, and it's great to visit a country where the drivers—and everyone—have attitude.

However, when you come from a nanny state with Namby-pamby road rules like I do, it takes a bit of getting used to driving in Italy. The last time I had to drive from Genoa to Rome I was overtaken so often I thought I'd be better off with a low-flying jet despite driving at about as fast as my cheap rental car would go!

Mind you, that spirit it doesn't always bode well for the locals. Once in Firenze at a 90° T intersection with the road that follows the bank of the Arno, I saw that the traffic lights were out and stuck on red, so traffic couldn't veer off down the intersecting road.

Not to be outdone, mopeds and small cars just mounted the sidewalk and bypassed the red lights altogether (by going down the sidewalk they technically weren't going though the red lights (now where they?). Now, that's good lateral thinking but it would never happen where I come from.

Unfortunately, there was a huge ditch in the sidewalk some 10/15 metres down from the intersection that wasn't easily seen when one turned the corner. The result was that this enormous hole (almost a sinkhole in size) was full of busted mopeds and small cars!

Nevertheless, I give them 10/10 for ingenuity. ;-)

BTW, I saw this news report about the police using a Lamborghini to transport a donor organ on TV last night. There didn't seem anything unusual about the story (for Italy anyway) and Lamborghini had donated the car to police some time back specifically for purposes like that. Seems they did AOK and I hope the patient is doing well.
