As I have mentioned, I have no problem with my competitors being able to do this. The problem is how Google buries ozonetel.com below everything else. It should be absolutely fine if Google puts Ozonetel as first search result(because there is a brand and company called Ozonetel), and then puts the ads below that. Its win-win for everyone.

"If your customers intend to go directly to you, why do they not go directly to your site but instead search for it on a general search engine?"

It's because now mostly people(including me) search for a brand we know and click on the site. Mainly we type in the address bar(without .com) and press enter. The default search engine brings up the list and we click.
Assuming XP would even boot, the CPU launched when extended support for XP Embedded ended. Not sure the boot firmware has CSM or not and even if it did that doesn't mean much of anything on the board itself is guaranteed to work or have a driver. I guess you could always virtualize it, though I'm not sure this would be the best board for that either.
Thank you! The site and extension are free to use to shorten links. I do offer the ability to upgrade starting at $5 a month which allows custom domains, ability to customize links, expire links based on date or clicks, private stats, ability to shorten links using the API (https://t.ly/docs/).

I also recently release a new feature called OneLinks that are great for social media bios. Here is an example on a OneLink: https://t.ly/TimLeland

Normal users don't type domains, they type where they want to go into the address bar. my aunt will type "google" into chromes url bae to bring up the classic google search page she knows, and then will continue to type something like "jcpenney" into that box.
Yes, and definitely. Here's an example from the NanoBlock vs uBlock Origin controversy where cookies and private data were being harvested

Assume that any time an app has privilege to access your data, they are going to do it either deliberately or accidentally.
Can you tell me more about how can Z80 (or popular peripheral chips) "can output and input 3 states with a single pin"? Or maybe give some web links? I am pretty familiar with that chip, so hearing this surprises me.

For the output side, I guess I you can tri-state the output, but this will by default keep the previous voltage, you will need some resistors to actually emit a voltage outer than "low" or "high". And Z80 cannot even control this on per-pin basis, since it has no integrated GPIOs.

For the input side, I have no idea how would Z80 get more than two states. All the peripherals I know of (like 82C55 GPIO chips) also only provide two input levels as well.

The only way to get 3-state input into a system I can think of are:

- ADC input followed by software thresholding (this will be pretty slow, and works with hundreds of states, not just 3)

- Use external voltage comparators to split a single input wire into multiple input pins. This no long is "single pin" though.

- Some FPGA/CPLDs have multiple banks with changeable input thresholds. This lets you avoid external comparators. You'd still need multiple pins for each input wire.

It's not just tracking ECC errors, which as you point out is not hard, but correlating it with the other metrics needed to determine the cause and having the scale to reliably root cause bitflips to software (workloads that inadvertently rowhammer) or hardware or even malicious users (GCP customers that may intentionally run a rowhammer.)
I seem to recall some of this related to absl's flat_hash_map and co. They can't be stdlib compatible because there are api concerns that the std implementations provide (but that in practice no one uses) that result in real world performance being left on the table.

the idea of rebuilding in the spirit of was common in the XIX century, with figures like Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. But such restorations are controversial, since it's rather hard to exactly restore building as they were and it will be even more complicated to agree on what the spirit of building is, especially for buildings which had a long history and been modified multiple times.
This is one of the things that GATs will solve: it will be possible to have a pointer trait. It's a known language limitation, so you are trying to do the right thing.

Are these cookies being caught and blocked/discarded/etc by Safari Intelligent Tracking Protection on macOS Big Sur and iOS 14?
Are you implying that the probability of someone going to a store named and getting out of it without harm is zero? There’s plenty of photographic and video evidence of the contrary. Probably not the best example.

Same for a lighter, there are many factors involved, and playing with lighters that way was a party trick where I grew up.

We use truth as a concept every day as an approximation, but the universe is not bound to follow. Very unlikely things happen all the time.
Sorry about that. I honestly didn't think anyone browsed the web without javascript enabled. How common is that? We do offer a simple to use api that you could build on top of to shorten link. Also an extension that offers the ability to shorten a url in one click.

1991 was a long time ago, is she even close to the same person today as she was then? I don't know the details but she may have very well deserved the demotion. Just because someone does something amazingly great now doesn't mean they were always great.
Got a real kick out of this blog post as it seems to imply that code written two years ago is "old".

I've been surprised quite a few times in the past year that what I thought was "relatively new" code actually ended up being 5+ years old when I went back and looked at the commit history.

Just me getting old I guess.
Not an answer, but... I do think that after you've used Clojure for a while, you get used to the Java stacktraces. I mean it has the line number of the error, it can't be that bad, right? Maybe I've never experienced a language with stellar error messages.

Government, academia, VCs in industries with slower payoffs than software (i.e., most, including biotech).

OTOH, deciding which series of decades of false starts are worth continuing to support and which to cut off is...well, not an exact science would be an epic understatement.
One justification might be that it creates an environment where everyone but the ad provider loses.

If, hypothetically, Google was more pervasive than it already is, and made their ads more intrusive until consumers overwhelmongly clicked the highest priced ad for a given keyword, and Exotel bought the Ozonetel keyword, Ozonetel would have no choice but to buy ads for its own name. They could also buy ads for the Exotel keyword. The two could get stuck in a bidding war, wastefully sending money to Google when the optimal thing would be to just send users to the site they're trying to reach.

We're long past the point where you should expect users to try to guess domain names and to pretend that Google is just another general-purpose search engine. That universe could be nice but we don't live in it.
I did, and I think there's a lot of p-hacking going on. Leading with TV advertising is disingenuous at best.

The ebay example twists the concept of user acquisition (new customers) and purchases (new or old customers). It is a common tactic to buy advertisements defensively, for example, if you're a product manager, and have determined that some of your user base are more transactional rather than frequent.

Another pet peeve I have is how they conflate direct response advertising and marketing.
In lab settings, it seems very close ;)

Sure, and I want to watch a show and then have all of the commercials run at then end after I turn off the TV.

>More generally: if I search for "apple", what should the first result be? Wikipedia or Apple.com?

So what would your answer to this be?
The fact that ECC isn't the default across everything is a failure of human cognition and Capitalism.
I think they used this template: https://www.datarequests.org/blog/sample-letter-gdpr-access-...
What? I didn't ask for anything for free. I'm just telling you what happens. Normal people don't remember domain names. I'd hazard a guess that half of them don't even know what those are. If they want to get anywhere, they put it into a search engine, even if it's something ridiculously common like Wikipedia.
As a practical matter, search is how 99% of everyone gets to everything. Even if the browser fills in http:// for me so I can just type a name to get a complete URL why would I risk misspelling or mis-domaining a URL and possibly getting a fake or time wasting similarly named site? It doesn’t really matter whether the apple wiki or apple.com comes first because there is no chance I will confuse the two (unlike, say competing online furniture companies).

> If your customers intend to go directly to you, why do they not go directly to your site but instead search for it on a general search engine?

Plenty of people use the search engine as their homepage or reflexively open it when making a new tab, and searching for the name of the service (you don’t have to remember the TLD) becomes a habit.
To get fast you need to vectorize. I found that vectorizing algorithms in Matlab makes them unmaintainable (maybe I am not good at that). In python this is much smoother.
I presume they would claim them with fake/fresh username/email info to get legitimate licenses/keys, then resell those after the fact.
This isn't necessarily true; FreePascal's LCL integrates with native accessibility frameworks:

> The LCL should automatically provide accessibility for all of its standard controls, or allow the underlying widgetset to provide its own accessibility for the controls utilized directly from the widgetset.

Run surveillance on masses and defraud businesses: the advertising industry.

Of course it could just be a parallel construct for funneling money to surveillance tech companies such as Google by compliant companies that know they are not getting anything for their ad monies, to serve the policy goals of unseen but powerful interests.

I am working on a system for independent websites that is akin to this. rather than focusing on notebooks, I decided I wanted to make a system for making websites from notes.

it's going to be incorporating a few features like distributed hosting, version control, offline and archive modes and distribution. client driven content and work on adding new plugins.
The problem is that the masses are not equipped to separate fabrication from reality. It often takes hours of research to actually get to the bottom of a story. Nowhere is this more prevalent and hideous than in US politics. Media outlets, under cover of constitutional protection lie with impunity, consequences be damned. All they care about is hitting resonance and feeding it. It is hard to estimate the damage they have caused this nation.

In some cases discovering the truth has a time element as well. I remember a very specific case from the 2016 elections that drove this point home for me.

I was watching CNN. They featured this story about a black church that had been burned down and the phrase “Vote Trump” spray painted on the side. The network pounded on this story for a week or so. They painted Trump as the racist instigator who inspired someone to do this.

None of this made sense for me. Unless crazy, a supporter of any political candidate would know that burning down a church would not be a net positive for their candidate. Something was wrong, yet it was impossible to discover at that time.

I was so puzzled that I set a calendar reminder to look into the story a few months later.

Sure enough, three months later they arrested the guy who did it. Who was he? A member of the church. Yes, a black man. Why did he do it? Because he had a problem with the pastor. Why did he spray paint “Vote Trump”? Because he thought that would send investigators in a different direction.

Do you think CNN devoted a week’s worth of 24/7 coverage to correct the absolute falsehoods they spread? Of course not! They could not care less! Millions of people walked away from a one week carpet bombing campaign across most of the media with lies upon lies pounded into their heads.

This one event truly changed my views. I started to research everything. I can say that in nearly 100% of the stories I look into the media lied with impunity.

While I don’t consider myself a Trump supporter, I started to understand what the man was dealing with. He has had to endure this for four years. This is a horrific violation of the trust and privileges granted to the media by the US constitution.

Some might be OK with this because they dislike Trump. That is a terribly myopic position to adopt. Today the media attacks those you dislike, yet nothing in life is constant. Tomorrow, whenever that may be, the tables might change...sadly that’s when people finally realize that a principled unbiased position in favor of truth and justice is the only one that can protect everyone.

In my experience (mostly large tech cos), getting anyone to pay attention to your design doc/RFC (regardless of quality or length) was fairly difficult.

What I mean is that they were hired based on their acting CV and auditions. It turns out that a very small number of mostly minor actors had some run in with the law in their youth, and there is one actor who had been selling drugs decades before. This story got media play when The Wire was on TV and people thought that the producers had gone out and hired actual gang members for the cast. This isn’t true. They went through the usual screen actors guild and casting process. The iconic characters people remember are mostly stage actors, and not from Baltimore (two of the main characters are British).
I'm behind a Pihole and the top result for Ozonetel is ozonetel.com. On mobile, there is a "People also search for" bar that takes me to Google searches for their competitors, but it's mostly the Ozonetel home page, LinkedIn, Twitter, Crunchbase etc.

Not the person you asked, but speaking for myself, all the time. I have a javascript toggle I use several times a day, and leave it set to off as much as I can.
> You pay for those breaks out of the devops budget.

Only for organizations where "devops" means "ops". If your organization practices continuous deployment, then getting a bug fix out is no big deal (merge your PR to master and make sure the deployment doesn't fail); certainly no devops time is required.

> Moving breakage to earlier in the developer cycle typically reduces the cost of fixing it.

This axiom originates in the days of waterfall development and annual software deployments shipped to customers on shrink-wrapped physical media. It's not nearly as costly as our dated CompSci or SoftEng educations make it out to be.

Your average web service isn't going to benefit on balance from moving from Go to Rust because any gains in finding/preventing bugs sooner are going to be dwarfed by the slowed pace of development.

Of course, someone will point out that data races of the sort that Rust precludes are really hard to debug, which is true, but they're also very rare because request handling rarely requires parallel access to local resources (mostly things like database connections, where the locking is handled by the database library). The total cost of dealing with these for your average web application is still going to be dwarfed by the smaller tax Rust imposes on every change you make.

Note that Rust has improved significantly, both by accepting more correct programs (laxer rules such as non-lexical lifetimes) and by improving tooling (rust analyzer). I'm not sure if they'll ever close the gap completely such that using Go/C#/etc are relegated to certain niche use cases, but I think it will continue to steal more and more of the application space that leans toward performance- or correctness-sensitive.
Can't wait for the Enron-like moment in adtech. The numbers are all fraudulent.
Amazing work, well done!
Still more expensive than other sources of protein but the curve is favourable (think solar cell efficiency over the last 10 years) and as for solar, a lot of externalities unfunded in other protein sources.

I worry a bit about it using corn as a primary input: this may be a perverse incentive to grow more corn and soy, and so do more destructive land grabbing from natural resources. If they do make it scale on surplus food and compostable inputs its serving a double purpose by diversion from landfill.

The upside of corn, is that a significant farm lobby in Washington will be on board. The feedlot and meat sector presumably is already there.

Hi dang, I'm wondering is there a list of HN phenomena that you've noticed over the years?

Examples would be:

1. follow-up submissions

2. an initial wave of critical comments followed by a wave of apologist comments

3. first page of comments occupied by a single top level comment with lots of descendants (you often post to draw attention to other pages of comments in these cases)
We still very much live in a Foucauldian world:

- we're constantly surveilled (school, jobs, gov't) and mostly we willingly submit to this

- r.e. "21st century is no longer a disciplinary society", yes it is, see my point above. we (they?) just succeeded in making the discipline less overt, more complicit. we don't need jails anymore we just need smartphones (see Social Dilemma)

- that list is not one of an "achievement society", rather, one of a consumption society lubricated by surveillance (masquerading as individualism, success etc)

Oui very much live in a Foucauldian world!

The FPGA can't be reprogrammed fast enough for the JIT approach to work, unless you're running computations that take many minutes or hours. I suppose that does apply to some workloads, but it would be tough to ask your JIT to solve the halting problem and guess whether a workload will last 10 seconds or take longer than that.

This is exactly what happened and a bidding war started(long time back).

And then we decided to step back from the bidding war. One reason to do so was because we did not have VC funded money. If we had VC money, maybe we would have continued the bidding war. But glad that we could make the right choice.

That's not the same thing. This paper is talking about extrapolating objects that become occluded in the video stream until they become visible again, to provide a continuous sense of tracking.
That’s fine. But if you want to use a service, you have to agree to the service’s terms. That includes ads that appear before results and competitors bidding on ads for any search terms. That’s just how it works in a rational world. It doesn’t really matter the reason you had to use the service. Otherwise, why is Grammarly a billion dollar company? People are bad at grammar, let them live! And use the service for free, according to your logic.
There is the core product, accessories, repair parts, digital services. Each area has it's own holdout because the sales process and channel are different. Channel partners also run their own advertizing which gets looked at.

For example: The digital services are an ingredient brand and can only really be sold to core product owners so they'll have a differnt holdout as their target population is different. Also that area has a short measurable path and thus different metrics and measurements.

There are some B2B areas that may not have holdouts, they functionally don't do any targeted marketing.
