I'm struggling with recentism. Google appears to strongly prefer new content.

I wish there were some options to exclude certain domains.

I find myself using "" or inurl a lot.

I often find myself trying to ask a natural language question, and then trying again by putting most important search terms first, in "quotes", to see if I get better results.

I feel that Google is very good at search, but it's now a lot less predictable. In the past we all knew the tricks and tips, but today those don't seem to be as important as asking a question.

I use DDG or Bing when I can. I use Yandex for images.
It's from "100 Ways To Improve Your Writing", I believe.

It's full of decent advice. Some bad. Some good. Some that is insightful in ways you might never have thought of by yourself.

Good luck.

I feel like this quite frequently. Just yesterday I had a problem where I was getting an error message trying to install kivy. The message was about not having a specific required package installed (pyramid), even though I actually did have that package installed on my system and I had the correct version installed too.

I tried googling things like "kivy requires pyramid but pyramid is installed" and variations on that phrase including the exact error message and subsections of it and variations of the phrase - but all the search responses were about unrelated things, like just installing pyramid by itself. Incidentally, I solved the problem by just removing "pyramid" from the requirements.txt file and then it installed and worked just fine - but I was frustrated that Google wasn't really getting what my problem was. I feel like past-Google would have been capable of understanding the problem.
First, the comments that cause this are so from "establishment opinions" that you can be well outside them and still not come close to what they're talking about. Second, what good is freedom of speech if a platform is not free to choose which speech to amplify? Seems like some have started to understand freedom of speech as "you're free to publish exactly what I tell you to publish!" Freedom of speech also means that I'm free not to repeat what you say. This understanding of freedom of speech is the one that has been at the very core of media companies and educational institutions for ages; they're free to shape their reputation by choosing which speech they publish.
It's not clear how much of a factor climate change is. Most of the sea stars have died due to a wasting disease, and so the urchin population exploded and they ate much of the kelp. The sea stars might have been weakened by warmer water several years ago but California has always experienced occasional situations like that due to the El Niño current.
Don't disagree with anything you've said and if your margins are low and volumes are high enough it will be worth trying to shave off some of the fees.

But for a lot (the majority?) of businesses probably want to focus on other things.
I've been saying "Show this less often" / "Fewer likes by this person" / etc pretty much continuously on every element ever since that option appeared.

As far as I can tell, it has never had any effect whatsoever. I still see the components I dismiss, and I still see likes from the same people. Possibly less often... but it's hard to tell when it's every time I open the page.

At this point I click it mostly out of stubbornness and perverse curiosity, to see if the company is at all capable of changing this awful course.
This is all so fucked.

BTC is at like $60k right now, and there are something like 18.4 billion BTC in circulation, which translates to over a trillion dollars in "value".

Yet if any of these bitcoin (or ETH or whatever) billionaires tried to cash out their massive reserves, the bubble would burst. So stunts like this NFT thing, where a "humble artist" becomes a millionaire overnight, serves to just further inflate the bubble, and help those bitcoin billionaires become real billionaires without crashing the market.

I wonder how many of these bitcoin billionaires are doing this (possibly colluding), or are actually so deluded that they believe $60k is the real intrinsic value of their BTC. Or maybe it's neither, and this bubble is still nowhere near the bursting point yet.

Either way, it's all fucked and I hate it.
Alice and Bob
All websites are doomed to eventually have too much content to store in one index. So you want multi-tier indexes. And then you're incentivized to keep people in the first tier index.
Many of the platforms you mentioned explicitly prohibit doing that, to the point that they programmatically search for their reviews and remove reviews they find on other sites.

Also, the common belief is that prospective customers think it looks shady. Here’s more on that (written for a manual practice but applies even more to an automated one): https://www.fosterwebmarketing.com/faqs/four-risks-associate... . A prospect can’t tell between a business duplicating real reviews like you described and a business generating fake reviews.

Hope this helps.

I'm not an information theorist / cryptographer / etc., and so I have a strong feeling that there must be something wrong with my assumptions, given that "compressing big files using lots of memory for people to later decompress back to files using average amounts of memory" is an extremely-common need (for e.g. packaged software/OS updates.)

When a physicist sees a proof for a perpetual-motion machine, they don't ask "can this work"; they ask "where is this going wrong, that it came to this absurd conclusion?"

My post wasn't suggesting a real technique — it was me sharing my own perpetual-motion machine proof, so that someone can hopefully point out the step that's impossible, and I can then learn something from that :)
I'm not telling engineers to try harder. I'm telling managers to discover a less slimy model than outrage-to-engage.

What's the level of informed that's required?

And if you need to be informed to comment online should also require the same levels for voting. It seems it would be just as if not more so for the latter.

Also, who's deciding the truth so that we know what informed is?
> So you are fine with X server takes care of most of the stuff, but not fine with wl_roots do the same thing?

There is big difference in responsibility w.r.t. users in Xserver vs wl_roots case.

In the X11 case, relations are:

wm - user - X11

(Users choose to use Xserver and WM independently, if there is a bug in Xserver, then it is outside of responsibility of WM developers.)

In the Wayland case, the relations are:

user - wm/compositor - wl_roots

(Users choose wm, wm developers choose to use wl_roots to implement wm features instead of doing it themselves, but that is just internal implementation issue of that wm and wm developers are responsible for wm behavior/bugs including ones inherited from wl_roots.)
swiftonsecurity speculated that whoever banned “Memphis” meant to ban something like “123 Example Street, Memphis”, but hit an edge case in the parser or screwed up a regex or something.

My thought is that the message “you’re about to ban 123,456 users, please confirm how many users you’re ready to ban” would have been a useful safeguard.
To give the illusion of healthy discourse. GPT2 is excellent for this. See subreddit simulator.
DRM keeps people from viewing/using something, and can (often does) keep a legitimate owner from using it. And NFT does not, it only lets you prove (to anyone who cares) that you have a granted right to the product. You should appreciate this, it lets you support the creator with zero risk of locking out a legitimate viewer.

Also, you realize that you could print the digital artwork and have a poster, right? Personally I've got more than enough posters, too many to put up in ten houses, and would actually rather have high quality scans of them so I can still enjoy them.
Yeah, that's fair. I would hope the aim is always reducing bloodshed (by intervention in genocides and not in stable countries). I'm not sure how to actually achieve that...
In terms of standard Linux tools, that's hardly ancient.
I don't even get why the standard needs to be bot friendly, bots are literally the last thing I want at my security.txt spamming my inbox.
I bet these "expired" security.txts will become more common than unexpired ones in the near future. Updating a date every year sounds annoying.
How old is your kid? If he's in middle school and has a bit of prior programming experience CS50 by Harvard (on edX) is a pretty engaging and thorough introduction to programming (it's how I got started...)
I have a problem with it. The definition of "pandemic warranting a lockdown" is a national one, and other countries have a different opinion on it.

By all means, protect your own country by preventing people from going in, but people should be free to leave to a different place with more relaxed rules at their own risk.
I think it's very egalitarian to write a female villain who is every bit as powerful, cunning, and packed with personality as the male villains. Audiences actually love a good villain... look at the lasting appeal of, say, Darth Vader. Or Sephiroth.

Growing up, my favorite bit about the Power Rangers was Rita Repulsa. The Rangers themselves were lame, but it was hard for me to think of a lead villain in an action-oriented kids' franchise who was a woman, and not subordinate to some other villain, until Rita came along. Yes, Lord Zedd would come along and upstage her, but for that first season Rita was it.

To be fair - news is not a social media platform. I don't know why every webpage on the internet needs a comments section anyways. News articles can be posted elsewhere for public comment and discussion. Like here or reddit, twitter, etc.
"You need to re-read the single study you cited."

No, you need to reread it, especially the introduction to the paper.

Their whole point is that social scientists need to incorporate a growing body of evidence developed outside of their field pertaining to the genetic and biological causes of political orientation.

"More than half a century of research ... has demonstrated that ... political attitudes, are influenced by genetic factors."

"We find that genetic factors account for a significant amount of the variance in individual differences"

"The results ... supports the call for a revision of the status quo"

"25% is not even remotely accurate, and in fact laughably wrong."

Twin studies put the variation at 30-60 percent (not that I necessarily think it's that high), so it's not laughably wrong, and you are misrepresenting the science if your think that you know for sure that it's less than 25 percent.
It feels very strange to me that you are viewing a (privately moderated) comment section as the forum for public speech. These comment sections have existed for little more than a decade and have never been a useful forum, neither have they been the place where civic organizing happens.
In the US a postal address is literally all you need.

I believe in EU it is common to give a routing and account number though I think that is setup to allow input only.
But the default signal is one that "asks" the process to quit. Therefore killing it is fairly descriptive. I can ask someone who doesn't know much about computers what "killing" a program will do and they understand.

signal is not a bad name but `signal 123` is far less obvious than `kill 123`. Of course `signal -USR1 123` is far more obvious than `kill -USR1 123` so there are tradeoffs.
it's a real shame that conversation about how our system hurts lots of different people gets left out in favour of splitting into an oppressor/oppressed divide. In reality almost everybody is held down by the system in different ways, some individual and some by demographic.

Pointing out a group of 'bad people' to pin societal ills on is as old as history itself (scapegoating), but it's never actually helped to solve those ills. We need to look at the structures in our society and how we can reshape them if we are to make life better for people.
If we assume 10 as the max. The have at least 40-50 flights left in the boosters the have. Now some of those a reserved for NASA/DoD and while they can be reused, they will likely only be reused for those costumers. So in practice its a bit less.

If they can go significantly beyond 10, say 20, they have years of booster left if they want to.

I think they might only need to produce like 5ish or so more and that should mostly be fine until Starship destroys the market for the F9.

Two balloons, about 46 hours of endurance, limiting factor apparently being running out of battery power.
Solid thrusters being another possibility.
Cancers are genetic mutations that ignore safeguards that are in our dna. That is not to say that every tumour is going to become malignant. Or even get that far, our immune system deals with a lot of cancer before it even has the chance to spread.
Making people pay to comment removes certain types of low quality and spam comments, but I believe it can actually worsen polarization. Most people with moderate points of view aren't going to be nearly as motivated to comment as those who have extreme views, and therefore will be even less likely to do so with more barriers in place.
"So a 1.2GWh battery could power Australia for about two minutes "

It is one battery in, if memory serves, the state of Victoria.

It is not being asked to power all of Australia.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Even now many programming language ranking boards are still fooled into believing that "Arduino" is a separate language and not just C/C++ with header and Make files hidden behind a pretty IDE.

the problem with this is, our prejudices can change, sometimes very quickly. A person who loves dogs, for example, might hate them after being mauled by one. Simply put, i don't think we can simply write down our emotional processes easily enough to make advanced ai relevant.

That said, this doesn't seem to be the norm yet. A number of news sites I frequent try to solve this by hiding the comments section by default. NYT sometimes hides comments on articles posted on weekends when they have fewer content moderators available, they say. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/27/reader-center/comments-mo...
Sure, GPT2 could do it, but again - it won't stop the trolls and wouldn't be actual discourse. I think the other comment about fishing for an xkcd link sounds more likely.
Yeah https://conversation.sevarg.net/t/starlink-satellite-based-i... talks about it - 100 watts idle is too high if you’re on battery.

It’s noticeably high so I assume at some point it’ll be reduced unless it’s caused by continuous “transmission” so the satellite doesn’t lose the connection.
How does native C++ OO not allow you to retain value semantics? Doesn't the Rule of 3 exactly give you value semantics? And it's quite standard to do that with what you're calling "native" C++ OO.
Another question is how fast you can get into actually solving problems, since you're in a team, there is also an option of hiring a C++ developer.
This usually works but not all git remotes have a `/HEAD` ref. I think GitHub always does though.
The article is very clear that Riborg, the woman he never got over, is in fact a woman, though he wrote of interest in men as well as women. He focused his affections on the unattainable until his death at 70 years of age.

I wasn't too impressed with the animation of Netflix original anime either. Netflix Originals in general seem to be very low quality shows these days. It appears competition with other copyright holders drove them to pump out large quantities of shows with less focus on quality.
I mean you can't have 8 billion needy, constantly consuming humans for 60/70 years and somehow have a sustainable, vibrant and healthy ecosystem.

You can't have all the modern day luxuries (cars, airplanes, electricity 24/7) and somehow expect everything to just "hum" along.

I think news reports like these will become more common, more frequent and a natural byproduct of how things are now, regardless as to whether human activity/climate change is the cause.

I am uncertain about this whole "2030" neutrality thing, why not 2025? Why not next year? We're not very good at setting ambitious targets nor making people suffer for the benefit of nature (I'm sure somewhere there is a "link" between this event and the devastating impact humans are having on the natural world as we know it)

Even a pandemic didn't have much effect whereas in previous times tens of millions would've been expected to die.

Cue another attenborough documentary telling us how everything is basically screwed...Somehow he would convince us about how fossil fuels is directly responsible for this activity taking place...

I just moved back to RSS (using Feedly). Took a while to get the right set of sources, but the experience is orders of magnitude better. I would even say that had an actual impact on my mental health, as I'm not bombarded with clickbait, outrage-driven crap anymore; I'm still informed with some responsible new RSS sources, I just don't need a firehose.
The difference between the pictures is that the "before" picture has yellow shading but the "after" picture doesn't have any yellow shading. I don't see any kelp in either picture.

No public ability? Not sure if that’s said with a straight face, but there are a multitude of platforms to bind your comments to a particular article/post/entry/etc. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Hacker News come readily to mind. There are many, many, many other ways of getting your opinion out there online.

Content producers of any ilk are in no way obliged (and imo expected) to provide and administer a public forum alongside their work.
For this reason, blockchains are not used that way - it does not track ownership of physical objects, it tracks ownerships of digital ones. If the blockchain says you own the only digital edition that Beeple created for his artwork, then this is so, because the blockchain states this.

If Beeple creates another NFT referring to the same work, then he is simply creating a second edition, in the same way that an artist can create a run of prints limited to 10, and later decide to create 10 further prints.

If someone else creates an NFT claiming to represent Beeples work, then this is like me selling my own unauthorized Robert Rauschenberg print, which I might find difficult to find a buyer for, though with enough talent, maybe not impossible.

In any case, the NFT is merely a digital equivalent of a print.
Though sadly far less energy-efficient.
> One might even consider Attack On Titan a sort of mecha series

My take on it as well. The titans are not robots, but they're mecha-size creatures, and their pilots have a designated cockpit, which they open occasionally to interact with others. The other classic mecha scene is the take from inside the cockpit, so you can see the pilot's reactions.

It's a weird mix of mecha and gore.
Elon Musk Mars plan branded 'delusional' by astrophysicist
Starlink is SpaceX's way of guaranteeing SpaceX has a launch client. It increases the number of launches they make, and drives down the cost per launch, both for themselves and for their other customers. They are creating a business model which is both profitable and drives profits to their launch business. This is similar to the synergy Amazon's online store and AWS have with each other.

If SpaceX has room on a launch vehicle or an empty launch vehicle, they stuff it with Starlink satellites. Since Starlink will require constant refreshes, SpaceX has a constant client, it becomes far easier for them to offer smaller payloads at good rates. This is SpaceX's way of commoditizing launches and keeping their launch service running regularly.

It's extremely clever use of complimentary resources.
> freedom of speech

You would have a point if 'mass media' wasn't privately owned.
It would be neat if there was a forum that provided a comment section for every website url. Users could use a browser add-on to display the comment section when they browse to a page. The key point here is that there is only one comment section per url. I think this is different enough from reddit. HN, etc that it could be interesting in a unique way.

I've ditched Google Search for DuckDuckGo a while back: first for privacy, but the more I used the more I realized that for some reason the results of DDG are just better than the ones of Google.

It's an interesting concept, but the requisite examination of the field has not taken place. This is the start, not the end, and you're treating it like there's a clear and actionable conclusion as a result of this single barely-cited paper.

These people do not represent the field at large, and to believe them without additional peer review and further study is to give up on scientific objectivity, and instead just favor whatever sounds appealing to you personally. That is what you've done here.

You are wrong because of your certainty that this work is Truth. You are not on the side of science here, you're firmly in the world of abject speculation, and you furthermore promote action on information that does not agree with you, even if all of it were true (which it is not).

You have a choice here; continue to spout lies and nonsense, and continue to misrepresent what you've read, or take a step back and try to re-assess why it is you were drawn to such an inconclusive ideology to the point of promoting action.

I suspect you'll choose the latter, but you have that choice now.
If I some land, do I have to pay taxes for the land? Do I pay the tax directly or you collect and pay them? Is there any additional annual fee for your company?

Do I own a specific piece of land or just some abstract square meters in a big pool?

What happens if someone enters illegally my land? Do I have to go travel there to start a trial? What about flooding or fires? Fixing the fence?

How are I'm sure that you bill buy land that is worth $5-25/sq.m and not some crap land that is worthless?

How do I sell my land?
India to propose cryptocurrency ban, penalising miners, traders -source
Not really; it's ideal. Comment sections on news sources are mostly a dumpster fire. Individual message boards, small, and well regulated can be a wonderful gift. Commenting away from the primary publication, but about the primary publication seems ideal.
