One of the things you could do with the original StumbleUpon is stumble by category. I had categories for my hobbies and it was really fun to stumble on different pages relating to one of my hobbies. As it is, this is fun and takes you to sites you'd never have gone to on your own!

Another idea - people have already mentioned the ability to report pages but I think it'd be cool to be able to upvote a page. Then for each category you could have a rolling leaderboard of the most upvoted pages in the past 7 days or whatever. Some people might just want to look at that, or look at that in addition to getting rando pages.

Good luck!
Cool project! The ARM cpu is way overkill but gets easy setup points. You could probably get away with a hidden Peltier to harvest the room vs wall temperature difference if you switched a ULP core in many of the wifi micro controllers on the market. Thanks for sharing.
That's empirically not true. Yeast do just fine with the starches in the flour. Here's a simple recipe without sugar (and the oil is optional too): http://www.thebreadkitchen.com/recipes/simple-whole-wheat-br...
The parent is spouting uninformed nonsense.

Google hasn't relied on PageRank for over a decade, and they will not tell anybody how their ranking algorithms actually work for trade and legal reasons.

Any takeout link is not going to allow you to download dark profiles, etc.

So goes the rest of the post.
Hmm... no, but that's a good idea!
Can you tweak your function to stop filling the first time a zero is encountered? That's a simple one-line change with the for loop, but a puzzle for the functional iteration.

Yes, and that's exactly why you should use constructs like map when possible. With a manual loop you have to scan more code to verify that it's not doing something more complicated.
You're implying the review is about the product. If the review is about the company (e.g. a restaurant), then a 1-star review is warranted, if you feel that a company which games reviews is a 1-star company.

I certainly do.
> Target has some really confusing triple selection that is really off putting (choosing between In Store, Same Day, and Shipping).

Oh man, this is so aggravating. They can tell me that something is in-store by me and I can pick it up in 1 hour. Unfortunately, I'm not able to go to the store. But "delivery" means someone else will go to the store for me and drop it off at my house for an extra $10. OK, fine, let's do that. But some items, even ones that it says are in-stock at the store nearest me, can only be shipped from across the country, or picked up in-person at the store. WTF? If I can pick it up myself, why can't my delivery person also pick it up for me?
Um.... Samsung phones come with Samsung store...in usa..and have google services on them just fine...

There is also a web frontend for it: https://www.samsung.com/us/apps/galaxy-store/
Great organization. Of course there are people on twitter whining about not getting access after courses after Jan 15th instead of realizing what it means to lose such an organization.
This is why I do like the reviews on food delivery apps. You separately rate the food and the courier so that one doesn’t affect the other’s score too dramatically.
So if someone's buying a stock, the market maker actually takes a short position to make it available to the buyer? I was under the impression that market makers are just connecting market and limit orders with each other, is that not the case?
I’ve got a bricked 2008 Mac mini. Still runs perfectly fine but I can’t seem to get the os updated. They say they don’t support it? And you can’t seem to access websites with a browser that old and I can’t seem to install a new browser on that old of an Os.

I can’t even get linux to install. It won’t seem to boot to a usb.
Yeast will do just fine on the carbohydrates in the flour. I find that whole-grain flour tends to lead to more yeast activity, which is sort of the opposite direction.

A lot of the packaged supermarket bread has additives to keep it fresher longer, one of which is sugar. Go either a little upmarket or to the baked-in-store section and you'll find some without it.
The GDPR is implemented in British law, that's how these directives work.

Once the UK leaves the EU, they're no longer obliged to keep their implementation of the GDPR. The government can choose to keep their implementation, and in practice keep the same regulations as the GDPR, or they could reduce or remove their privacy protection laws as they see fit.

With London being famous for their camera surveillance, I expect the UK to reduce some if not all of the privacy protections the GDPR brought to the world.
> was a time of higher taxes for the rich

Correlation vs. causation. The sources I've seen all have said that no one of the rich paid those high taxes, and the same will happen when Biden and his gang will attempt to increase taxes now. There will be loopholes and a million other things the rich can use to reduce taxes.

The problem lies elsewhere, but no one seems to discuss it. It's not for no reason that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity prohibit lending money with interest. We look around us and see a debt heavy and debt ridden society, because it's easy to lend money with interest. The modern usurious economic system is inherently going to favor the rich. Ban interest and other usurious immoral and parasitic practices (e.g. stock shorting) and things will improve quickly.
>PornHub purging all the content they did is remarkable, and certain kinds of content on the site are all but gone.

The absurdity of it is that there was a small minority of animated and computer generated (non-voice acted) nude "dance" videos featuring 3D models. Those were also removed, but likely unintentionally. You can't 'verify' stock 3D models, created from beginning to end by a single person.

Well THAT was a rabbit hole I went down, just like the old days!
You can pretend that money doesn't matter. You'll get corrupt career politicians and the occasional retired billionaire. Lots of people are more than willing to pretend they don't care about money, if that's your qualification, so that their children and siblings can collect foreign "investment" and "work" as board members for companies wanting influence.

The USA is literally at the bottom in terms of salary divided by GDP. At first I thought we beat a few countries, but they have a head of state that is a distinct job from head of government. I'm also leaving out Pope Francis and a few countries for which GDP data isn't available. Singapore pays $3,052,000 yearly, about half to the president and half to the prime minister.

In dollars for one individual, unadjusted for GDP difference, the USA pays less than: Switzerland, Singapore, Austria, and Ireland. Would you say that those countries are attracting the wrong kind of people as leaders? Counting the sum of head of state and head of government, these also pay more: Iceland, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, Germany, and numerous kingdoms.

Anyway, do you like what you're getting for politicians? Without change, you'll get more of it. You can wish for the most fantastic altruistic leader with no family to support, and just hope that people will recognize that despite the underfunded campaign, or you can recognize that there is no escape from the money issue.
Initially I couldn't believe this was true. But, sadly...

The problem is the usurious economic system. Prohibit interest and reduce taxes, and things will improve almost by definition.
Salad Fingers
You missed the most significant issue outside of portion size changes, etc.

Car dependency. The shift over the last 60-70 years to push everyone to drive more and more and walk, bike, etc less has had an absolutely massive impact on obesity and being unfit.

Compare the obesity rates in any area in the US versus types of transport and you'll see a huge correlation when other factors are fixed. e.g. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28322880/
"Yeah, no" was definitely a thing when I was in high school, and that was 10 years ago at this point. Maybe it's one of those all modern youth culture flows from the US West Coast things.
Thanks for the suggestions! Thermoelectric energy harvesting never even occurred to me. Definitely looking into it.
That used to be the case with JavaScript too - until recently (ECMAScript 2015, IIRC?) you could do `undefined = null;` and other fun things like overwrite the `Array` constructor (which became a particularly nasty JSON attack vector).
But the point wasn't that you can't recover the meaning from context. Languages are full of homonyms and homographs, and even typos and outright errors usually don't hinder understanding.

The point was simply that accents in French can change pronunciation, or at least change the meaning even if the pronunciation remains the same.
High taxation is a symptom of a broken economic system. Taken from my post on the other thread.

It's a strong statement but it definitely leaves the door open. Given that there's so much at stake I can't imagine a different statement.

On the other hand, if you read the CISA alert[1], it's clear that (1) many industrial targets were compromised, given the ubiquity of the Orion product and the amount of time that transpired; and (2) the attackers had their merry f'ing way with MS products like AD. So at this point I think it would be more surprising if they were not compromised than if they were.

First thing to note is reduction in dimension and formatted as .PNG.

Second is that the AI blew out the highlights, losing subtle detail, for example the fluting of the columns. This same effect seems to have flattened the facial contours giving the woman's square mouth an unflattering grimace.

It did a striking job at eliminating all "noise" in the body and roof of the auto, giving an initial impression of great crispness and sharpness, but at least some of that "noise" was film grain and/or actual dirt on the car. Ditto texture of the fabric of her dress.
Certain features might make sense. For instance, maybe you don’t preload off-screen images on a slow network connection?
I buy my electronics on B&H. Other photography stores are probably as good.

Professional photographers buy from them, even if there's a premium, because they trust B&H. That's B&H competitive advantage; trust. If they screw that up they'll wither away.

I used to buy on Newegg, but when I bought my most recent computer build I realized most of it was from third party resellers. They screwed the order up, and it was a mess to get my return. Newegg used to be so good!

My wife recently bought something from Macy's, again, 3rd party without realizing it. They screwed up royally. They sold her something they don't have in stock, but sent her a "Package Delivered" message. Days later the item is still for sale, even though the person on the phone said that the item will not be available until Jan.

Well my wife has already bought a replacement and she wants her money back. The Macy's rep said that it's not Macy's problem since she purchased from a third party. My wife snapped back that she bought an item from Macy's on the Macy's website.

Man I hate modern shopping.
Did the judge increase the maximum authorized sentence? I don't think so. She gave the maximum allowable sentence.

You don't have to be charged with attempted murder for that evidence to come up in your drug dealer trial.
I can do both, but cross-eyed is way easier. Anyway, just flip the image pair horizontally mirrored and it'll be corrected for you.

I found that these images, despite being walleye mode, still show their pertinent structure when crosseyeing them.
Wasn't all this supposed to be solved in the 90s with "web of trust"? Rather than trusting every review, you only trust those from your personal circle of friends, and then from their friends but with less weight, etc.

No, did not miss the point because you didn't make one.

Cannabis wasn't grown in Colombia until very recently; cocaine has always been it's primary drug export, and unlike cannabis, cocaine has not been legal in the U.S. (or most of the West) during the lifetime of anyone alive today.

If you had said cocaine from the beginning I might have agreed with your sentiment if not the specific details, because porn has enabled sex trafficking and CP and other heinous crimes.

But you clearly meant cannabis, not cocaine, and so your statement doesn't make any sense.
Did not work with Opera. I doubt ad banners would work in any modern software.
Safari on Mac, for example at 950x950, shows them stacking. Looks like Firefox on Mac is ok.

I love to cook, and cook for both me and my partner probably 5 nights of 7, but the moment she leaves for a night or a weekend it's takeout or ramen. Anecdotally, most of my couple friends have a similar dynamic.

If evolution meant only the apex predator survived, there would only be humans in the world. Things evolve to exploit their environment - the snow leopard lives in the high mountains, the cheetah lives on the hot plains. You wouldn't expect the most evolved cat breed to exclude or preclude the existence of other cat breeds.
Unfortunately, that food truck operator is a victim too. They live and die by reviews, and if everyone else does it, they have to too to survive. The whole thing is jacked up.
I'm sort of tired of backwards-looking studies that align directly with the political thinking of the publisher.

How about a study that tries to predict what will happen under the next administration, and by the way, include the relevant metrics?

Something like:
Unemployment rates
Stock market rise/fall
Worker's wages

In truth, the current US administration has had pretty good marks in these departments. I'd love to see the next administration better them. But I'd also like to see the metrics provided before the judgement is made on what works or doesn't work.

Sort of like 'the scientific method'.

Works with my 'rot18' decoder too.

'rot13' only works with the alphabet. 'rot18' can do the same thing with numbers too, so rot13 + rot5 = rot18.

Pointless trying to obfuscate info if you can still see the numbers part 'en clair' to give the game away. (bank PINs, phone numbers, etc) Need to obfuscate the digits too.
Knowledge as an API
Just so you know, not everyone agrees that Mr. Nowak's contributions to evolutionary biology are all that significant. I'm glad that you do ... but there are highly respected mathematicians who question whether Harvard math should have offered him tenure.

There is often a positive feedback mechanism sometimes at work in these situations whereby the subjective value of an academic's work is often determined as a function of the prestige of the organizations with which he has been associated, which then leads to awards followed by even more prestigious associations.

And accepting almost $7 million from a child rapist like Jeffrey Epstein of course only corrupts this process further.
The power of property-based testing is very appealing. I want to make sure people have realistic expectations though - it’s difficult to express properties for a lot of typical application behaviors. And, even if you can think of a property, that also doesn’t guarantee that you haven’t missed another property that’s necessary for sufficiently proving that some behavior works as expected. For example, both addition and subtraction are commutative. Testing for commutativity alone wouldn’t show that you’ve implemented either one correctly.

That being said, I think generative testing is the future. After TDDing for years, I believe it does not live up to the value proposition of preventing bugs (it’s still good as a means to guide you toward implementing the next behavior of course). Its main weakness is that one passing test case provides almost no guarantee that other cases will pass. For complicated domain models, this means creating tons of test data which is time consuming and also immensely gets in the way of refactoring the data model.

So I think generating test inputs is absolutely the way to go. It is just harder on a per-test basis than the main example-based flow that a lot of us do today.
Some other folks who are adjacent to this effort, roughly:

Indeed. Writ large, socialism isn't compatible with intellectual property, which I guess is part of the reason why early tech culture (and also nowadays but less so) has so many libertarian socialists.

Compare with the alternative:

Literally every top decision maker in federal government has a massive financial incentive to accept affordable bribes. Honest people have a massive financial incentive to find work elsewhere.

That's our reality. It's not sane or safe to design a system of government around the assumption that a capable person will take a vow of poverty, even if "poverty" is only relative to a large company's CEO.
Luckily we have rotten tomatoes as a decent indicator of actual critic reviews. Until they start gaming the reviews to boost movies they (subsidiary of Comcast) want to promote.
Islam solved this problem a long time ago. It has a built-in "charity tax" called Zakat whereby a portion of people's wealth (as long as they make more than a minimum threshold) is donated to charity each year. The portion depends on what kind of wealth it is (e.g. for gold and silver have a different rate from produce, the former being only 2.5% per Hijri year). This ensures lifting up the poor and stimulating the economy by discouraging people from hoarding wealth, yet, it is not a socialist system because it heavily discourages people from being needy and relying on others. There were many rich and wealthy Muslims across history, and it is not frowned upon one bit.

It is historically established that there was a time, when everyone committed to paying their Zakat, that there were no more poor people left to take it!
That steam runtime still runs on top of gazillions of driver/hardware combinations. Especially Linux GPU drivers are highly buggy though.
I mean, that criticism applies equally well to the whole crypto market. If you don't like their business, that's fine. But their customers disagree with you.
> It's also an is-ought fallacy. America is also the only rich country that's built that much of its wealth on slave labour, so does that mean slave labour is a good thing?

I'm curious about this one. Most of what I've read indicates that modern American wealth was largely circumstantial due to european economies being obliterated during WW2. Do you have a source for how much slavery affected American wealth?
I don't claim that rape is unique to the porn industry; only that porn makes it worse. (Porn can be addictive, so supply increases demand increases supply. This has been documented with respect to CP. As those studies require library access, I will leave it to the reader to find someone with academic library access to read those articles.)

The major studios are a small part of the problem, however, it's the non-U.S. and underground scene that generates most of the problematic content.
Someone has to point out the possibility of failure to someone who can do something about it. Where is the incentive to point it out or spend time looking for failures? Particularly when it's not their job? You need to make it someone's job.

In some cases, insurance can do it. It's the insurance company's job to understand and minimize risk.

But the best idea I've read is to have a regulatory agency like the NTSB.
