If you read the original Anatomy of a Search Engine paper by Google co-founders, you'd be amazed at the constraints they had to engineer around with back then.

Many of the constraints that they had to engineer around don't exist anymore. The landscape has changed significantly since 1998. The decrease in bandwidth costs, increase in computing power, RAM, infrastructure as a service, and the rapidly moving ML research that pops out new NLP techniques.

You also have to consider Paul Graham's advice on working backwards. Google is nowhere near the final form of information retrieval. In an ideal world, I would have an answer to a search query instantaneously. Even we solve that problem, then you begin to try to solve the problem of why you even had to query for information in the first place.
I think this is also the definition of scalping (scalpers).
I actually went in for the Arc and Rears. Sub was just too expensive. The other option I considered was Vizio Elevate. But Sonos looks better, is wireless and probably won't have the bugs of Vizio.

One thing is that I have tall ceilings so haven't heard any height atmos effects. Would love to stay in touch to compare notes :)
So then it shouldn't be impossible for Google to go out and give potential customers some sort of guarantee that they'll be around? But still doesn't seem to happen, hence people hesitate.

And even if the entire GCP might never disappear, Google is famous for shutting things down so I could imagine people get upset when GCP is closing down individual features people are still using.
Why do you say that quantum effects arise at 10^-15kg? The carbon atom is about 2x10^-26 kg. And I don't think we can put objects much larger than a few atom molecules into a superposition of two locations.
int is neither 32 nor 64. Its width corresponded to a platform’s register width, which is now even more blurred because today’s 64 bit is often too big for practical use and CPUs have separate instructions for 16/32/64 bit operations, and we agreed that int should be likely 32 and long 64, but the latter depends on a platform ABI. So ints with modifiers may be 16, 32, 64 or even 128 on some future platform. intN_t are different fixed-width types (see also int_leastN_t, int_mostN_t, etc in stdint.h; see also limits.h).

Also, don’t forget about short, it feels so sad and alone!
Nuclear power is just unpopular because politicians can’t make money out of it. Due to its inherent risk, nuclear power plants require close government inspection which makes it a bit harder to cheat.
The Ultraviolet Catastrophe was solved by a complete rethink of the foundations (a shift from continuous to quantised energy). Perhaps the standard model needs a similar fundamental shift? (Though I have no idea what that would look like)
If you have a microcenter nearby they sell 3d printers, you can go see them run and take one home. I’m extremely pleased with the Ender 3 V2 from Creality, especially for the price. It makes some fan noise but the steppers are very quiet which is nice. I haven’t had any issues with print quality and overall the build seems solid. If you’re thinking about running OctoPrint check my question in here for what appears to be some good advice.

All that said, Prusa seems to be the benchmark.
Speaking of snobbery: the reason why "Indian food is so delicious" is that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Or, more appropriately: "de gustibus non est disputandum". I know lots of people who really don't like Indian food. (luckily, I'm not one of them).

Perhaps something that the cited studies overlooked: surely, one reason a lot of Indian dishes are tasty is their high calorie content. Hmmm, sweet calories.

For instance, check out Vah Reh Vah chef's recipe for Dal Makhani [1]: the amount of oil, butter and cream combined in a single pot might well clog your arteries just by watching the video. ;-). Yet, I'll be damned if I didn't want to try it right away!

Real hypocrisy would be lying about how great the job is to get better candidates, and then getting upset when the candidates lie about how qualified they are to get better jobs.

This happens a lot - it was a running joke for a while, it seemed that every recruiters was touting "functional programming" for what were actually very normal corporate software jobs, with the promise that if you just did a few years of Java then maybe, maybe the company would think about Clojure one day in the future!

Battery technology isn't as far off as you think.

We're talking power station level storage, as in it doesn't have to be light, cheap and consumer durable.

Risks of fire or toxicity from consumers doing dumb things doesn't have to be worried about for instance. A pet gnawing at it and getting sick? Not happening.

So not unobtainium but expensivium can be used. Also operating environments can be dictated, such as temperature, humidity, water cooling or say if the battery technology required a contraption the size of a house, etc.

And lastly it doesn't have to be produced at scale. The lead time for some power station equipment is already months to years. Clunky awkward manufacturing is production ready.

There's many more possibilities given those possibilities. Right now it's Li-ion and nicad at installation sites but look for that changing soon
Buying land and then renting it out without improving it is the literal origin of the term rent-seeking, and is generally less well-regarded than running a business that actually produces something.
The solution, I think, is to raise the price. 20x the cost of a Dotcom, most people only need one or two and should be able to afford it, you’ve just increased the cost of squatting hugely.

That being said, I’d be scared about domain names raising the price 200x - all providers could literally hold domain renters hostage here, so it’s a double edged sword I guess..
plug for Felicity Cloake’s “how to cook the perfect” recipes in the guardian. she makes multiple versions of common recipes talking about the effects of the different ingredients and methods before giving her take on it. you learn about how the recipe works and are able to make substitutions/ changes much more easily. of course you can always skip to the last section where she gives her version concisely and with note a word about her grandmother.

When was that not the case?
Well if you look at Chinese cuisine or even better, Cantonese one and dim sum, you realize that it was really to extract the most from scarce ingredients, not much meats or vegetables with a lot of carbs, and lots of seasoning to cover low quality ingredients.

(I don't say the cuisine is bad nor not tasty, I am only talking about the cooking part).
If you really want someone then being honest and straight forward is best. If it really is your best offer tell them and you can honestly explain you have no room for negotiation. If you claim it is your best offer, then allow negotiation you look dishonest.

To go lower and see if the applicant is available for a little cheaper might save you a few $1000 on salary but at the cost of potentially losing the applicant.

People appreciate honesty and companies that don't play games.
Lol people here need to chill. I like apple’s UX and i think the point here is a uniform experience across platforms. That being said, I think it works perfectly fine like it is now IMO.
> an IOU was as good as the thing itself.

Except it isn't (for many reasons, chief among which is counterparty risk).

But the banks and the merchants sure brainwashed everyone into accepting this as a tenet of the modern economy.

They event went quite a step further with fractional reserve: we all know there's only 25% of the actual stuff in the vaults, but still ... the IOUs are 1:1.

Until, of course, when the "faith threshold" is reached, they aren't anymore.

The article seems to exist in an imagination of artificial concerns.

* Whether the JavaScript is free, as in beer, isn’t something most users care about.

* It isn’t that site owners don’t understand or care. It’s that they want to make money by hoarding analytics from stalking users and everything else is trivial.

The goals of the article aren’t invalid or misplaced though. They just need a slight realignment to match real world concerns.

* Users somewhat care about privacy. Privacy is largely misunderstood and educating users is painful but it’s still more productive than forcing a non-concern.

* Users detest poor performance. Spyware for money is frequently bloated and poorly written swelling bandwidth and CPU usage.

The best solution to this, both technically and from user concerns, is to separate logic from content. If web content were largely without application logic, such as turning off JavaScript, everything gets faster and privacy gets better. If web applications were void of content there are fewer data points to associate and stalk against user concerns. That separation is what GNU should focus upon to achieve their goals of libre JavaScript.

Even these days it's common to use gas heaters that are turned off for the night, meaning that it's freezing cold particularly in the mornings.
Surely the old adage of it's best to have the .com for SEO purposes still holds true, though? Is there evidence that it's no longer the case?
Oh please, quit the bullshit elitism.

I think postgres is a way more robust solution than mongo, but I've had my worst db experiences having to deal with a postgres db with almost all the business logic in triggers. That was a huge pain in the ass to maintain and understand.

Mongo is defnitely a limited solution, but for certain cases it just works pretty well, with less complexity than postgres. At one of my jobs, I've setupped and maintained a Mongo cluster that did its job without causing any fuss for years.
It appears they used Frequency Modulation to prove the connection.

when travelling i always make it a point to use couchsurfing or similar communities to find hosts to stay with. it's the easiest way to get in touch with locals. and they are expecting you.

similar to your story, one of my most memorable unplanned experiences was missing a train at christmas eve in poland, and then joining christmas dinner with a host i found on short notice.

For a general search engine yes. Less so for a specialty one. If I'm searching for javascript documentation I don't care if it's attached to a domain attached to a business with a physical location near me.

Imo if a search startup appears it'll be through a tiny niche -> larger niche -> even larger niche -> general search, path. Not nothing -> general search.
Yeah, but on one dimension that's workable.
On two dimensions it's useless.

Having the headers float makes 2 dimensional scrolling usable but not great.

Why do we store data as rows and columns? To be able to quickly compare them.
Is that possible with 50 columns? No.
Not exactly: if you had a kg of free protons and a kg of free electrons, the electromagnetic forces between them would dwarf the gravitational forces between them even at macroscopic distances. By a lot, as Feynman liked to note in his Lectures [0,1]. It’s just hard to get a kg of free protons exactly because the forces involved are so large. So charges tend to pair up and screen [2], which just camouflages the true strength of the force.

For the strong force the situation is the same in a sense, if you had a kg each of quarks of different colors — except you literally can’t have that, because the energy involved in separating a pair of quarks is so large that it actually causes two new quarks to snap into existence and pair off with the two you were trying to separate before you can separate them on anything approaching macroscopic scales [3]. So the strong force is obligatorily screened (camouflaged) at long distances, but only because it is so strong.

The kg-of-protons experiment on the other hand you could do in principle, it would just probably be better if you didn’t.

Quite a weird rant.

We might just regulate how a TLD works so that there is no domain parking industry and problem is then solved. The party who runs the TLD is surely not going to sell them at a loss since they aren't getting those 5k or 100k amounts even today. They just get 10$ or 100$ per yer or whatever.

If someone doesn't use a domain anymore and someone else has a claim on it, then it just gets moved to a new owner.

Example:

In Finland this is how the .fi domain works, you can get yourcompany.fi if you own yourcompany Oy (Ltd) and someone is just hoarding it. There's a process for this. It works.
If you're using replica set, as you should for anything other than development (and even in development, sometimes you need a replica set for some features), you just sequentially upgrade each one. It goes down, clients figure out the new topology and continue working.

I'm also running on MongoDB, top 6k site and while I wouldn't say there weren't any issues, uptime is wonderful, I sleep well, and have zero problems with modeling the domain as a document collections instead of relational. Can easily imagine that it would not be great fit for many other use cases. Not using Atlas as GP, so it's more work, but I'm trying to be scrappy.
The problem is that it's a property like everything else. Should we also prosecute who whold on to buildings, cars, huge strips of land without using it? Sure, but now you see the futility of how this would be possible. Anybody can generate a valid looking fake website for "proof of usage" in no time.
Raising the price would solve the issue overnight. It doesn't need to be a uniform price increase, either - ICANN can guess which domain names are likely to be pricey based on length, dictionary words, or other heuristics. It can't be that hard. There's no reason why every domain name needs to cost the same amount per month. Domain squatters only do this because it's economically viable for them to register 10K domain names and just extort anyone who wants to do anything productive with them.

Also, ICANN should directly auction expiring domain names themselves. It's infuriating that when a domain name expires, whoever has the fastest script pays $10 and then immediately resells it for $100K to whoever actually needed it.
> And they will switch to Lignite / brown coal.

This isn't true. The one new coal plant, bad as it is, was planned and allowed before Fukushima happened. These things change slower than the news cycle.

And Germany still is a net energy exporter, BTW, even without the nuclear plants.

I get the impression that they're using a different definition of refactoring. It would have read better to me if they had said restructuring.
Just doubling the price would harm parkers a lot more than legitimate users.
Have you forgot about Russia? Also China makes a great progress in this field as well (they diversify and build both foreign and domestic designs).
Yeah, those languages were IIRC designed to be edited offline (as a deck of punch cards) and submitted to a mainframe via high-speed card reader as a batch job.
> Sure, cheers were great at that time because it meant that thousands of young men would not be gunned down on Japanese beaches while trying to land there.

Let's not forget the fact that the thousands of people that were wiped out in an instant were not males of military age. They were civils, women and children alike.
I agree that we need a plethora of solutions, there's not one silver bullet. Project Drawdown is great, but a little too cuddly for my taste. We're at a point where we need more aggressive solutions.

Managed grazing has some good points, but it's mixed with a lot of pseudoscience and cult also. In the end, we need to get rid of almost all livestock agriculture if we are serious about tackling climate change.

> I'm pretty interest how carbon negative is greenwashing when there could actually be less carbon in the atmosphere, will be verified with a life cycle analysis, especially since we can fit on a truck that already exists so the truck manufacturing CO2 is already something that's been spent.

It's just a bit out there. There are better and more efficient ways to reduce GHG emissions than what you're proposing. Again, it's good that people are working on new tech to sequestrate CO2, but let's talk again about selling this "carbon negative" vision once we get CO2 sequestration working on a large scale at a low enough cost.

Until then, I sincerely wish you all the best! We're all in this together :-)
Partly it was because back in 2011 no-one imagined that a phone could run full minecraft so they conceived of it as a simpler, cut down version. Then hardware improved etc.

I'm Indian, and some of the most amusing conversations I've had about food have been with Italians.

An Italian professor was insistent that I stand up and defend the need for Indian food to use a million spices. He was proud of the fact that delicious Italian food could be whipped up using just three ingredients. I was in full agreement with him, that Italian food was wonderful, and that it was commendable how far they could take simple ingredients. But he was almost demanding (diplomatically of course) that I take the other side and argue that one needed a million spices to make good food.

An Italian friend was aghast that I would suggest putting Onion and Garlic in the same meal. It was strictly either/or for him.
Not that I don't agree with the article - who hasn't struggled with this problem? But this problem is as old as the internet itself and part of the culture at this point.

In fact, I'm sure you could liken the rush to squat domain names to many present-day internet gold rush crazes. People didn't know for sure that they would be valuable and scarce, don't forget.

So yeah - obviously it being hard to get domains you want is annoying, but that seems quite a simplistic and outdated rant for this place.
Experimentation is part of learning though. Heck, failing is part of learning! We really need to teach kids that just because you fail a few times at something you're not bad at it - it's part of learning.

This is how the .dk and probably many other top level domains are handled.

I'm assuming the Facebook dashboard is measuring user connections, while the Akamai measures everyone connecting to any Akamai resource.

Lol, since when Ukraine has joined the EU? If you meant the Union Association agreement, then note that it's REALLY FAR from a country joining EU. Here [0] you can see all other countries which have signed such agreement.

>If anything it's amazing that people don't realise how successful the RMBK has been despite Chernobyl.

Yeah, I agree with you. Only recently Russia has replaced RBMK reactors at the Leningrad nuclear plant with VVER reactors. So even despite the serious design flaw, RBMK reactors are quite reliable if you don't intentionally fuck with them.
