They could have done a lot of things but mostly IMO keeping the border open for commercial travel was almost certainly the right decision, especially given that most of Canada is close to the US border anyway. They're not really that distinct geographically.
posting your email in a not easily parsable way can save you a lot of spam. (rot13 it, break up characters, etc). Atleast that should cut most of the spam. This might be not standard, but I do not really see why we would need security.txt to be parsable by robots.

I disagree with your interpretation. Parents hating their kids don't care what's happening to them, the OP obviously cares, otherwise she wouldn't be writing that article. As for LGBT+, that's unlikely as well, here's a quote: "he isn’t gay: in fact, he has a girlfriend".

I'm not a child psychologist, I don't know these people, and I don't have a strong opinion on that particular topic.

But I do have a strong opinion on the following. I don't want Facebook, or anyone at all for that matter, to globally police content on the internets. With great power comes great responsibility. Social media have been abusing their power for years, yet they bear zero responsibility, lacking transparency, and implemented no ways to appeal.
In an exhaustive study of attributable deaths per TWH of power generated, nuclear is safer than wind and solar. Even when you factor in scary words like "radioactive contamination," people falling off roofs installing solar panels is still more dangerous.

It's been getting worse for years, and I'm starting to find Bing is sometimes more useful these days.

The irony is that it's getting worse at the sort of detailed, niche topics (electronics, automotive, and related fields) that one would really want a search engine for, while I suspect more popular and trendy information which is far easier to discover is going to be easier to find with it. The fact that it randomly ignores words in the search query is the most infuriating part (what the fuck did you think I put that word in the search query for?)

Less than a week ago I got hit with the CAPTCHA hellban for using inurl: and going more than 3 pages into the results, which must be a record time as I have triggered that in the past but only after many many intense searches. I switched to Bing and found what I was looking for on the first page.

I also have a high suspicion sometimes that it is actively trying to hide relevant results from me.

Absolutely! The top hits are often SEO’d to death and so devoid of quality I often find myself appending “Reddit” to a lot search queries just to get any sort of relevant results.

“best espresso grinders reddit” -> good, relatively unbrigaded discussions of pros and cons from r/coffee

“Best espresso grinder” -> plenty of “best of 2021” type articles that are patently paid for and gamed, often by publications that have nothing to do with coffee or by some kind of purpose built “www.bestcoffeegrinder2021.com” sites that don’t exactly engender trust. Most of these are so obviously written by low quality contractors or bots that it’s somewhat worrisome that they cant be filtered out by google.

As a sort of related question, what do people use search engines for? I find that 99% of my searches fall under the "I know exactly what site I want to search" ie: docs websites, github, wikipedia, etc, which I can search trivially in my browser's url bar.

For the last 1%, I use duckduckgo, which almost always ends up just proxying me to one of those other sites.

Search feels very "solved" to me, I don't see the point in using Google.

Interestingly we are now moving into a situation where producing the terminals seems to be the limiting factor.

They seem to produce these sats at almost unbelievable rates. They are truly mass production. No like 'we build 70 over a couple years' mass production but more like motorcycles or something like that.

SpaceX is doing like 70+% of global transportation to Orbit and launching most of the world sats. Its actually insane.

And its really only been taking of since 2017, people will be suprised where they are in 2024. Not landing on Mars, but probably launching private unmanned missions to Mars.

Google's search engine market share does not appear to be flagging as ads have become more intrusive:

https://gs.statcounter.com/search-engine-market-share

Given that, from a shareholder point of view they may be committing mismanagement if they don't monetize it even more -- at least until their market share at least reacts. Until they titrate enough ads into the solution for something to precipitate, they won't know if it's saturated yet.
Ya, I was referring to the long past. That said, I think things are a little fuzzy, and probably there's a casual acceptance that developers fall under salary exemption, but when you read something like: https://bmcclaw.com/faqs/employmentlaw/unpaid-wage-overtime-... it seems some developers would technically not be exempt from FLSA laws and might need to be paid overtime.

I also meant it as, tech workers could ask to be paid overtime when they negotiate, independently or jointly, there are always such options. I don't personally know if I'd want to be a wage worker over a salaried worker, and I suspect that's true of most, we only know what we know, I can't predict if being on a wage would actually make the job more pleasant or less, so the status quo lives on.
>Is this a relevant factor considering that many assets are trading several times above this price floor?

Yes. But the market can stay "irrational" for a long time. Many people have won the greater fool game over the years.

>This is technically correct in the sense that "market cap" is only defined for companies.

Market cap is a measure of the total equity of company as priced in the stock market. Since nobody can own the "Bitcoin network" like they can own a shares of a company "market cap" is nonsense when used as a term to describe the value of the Bitcoin network. There is no underlying equity to capitalise at any price.

>Facebook doesn't _cause_ anything. I think what you're mad at is human nature. There were plenty of riots and extreme political views before Facebook.

Failing to account for human nature at this point on a platform that now has billions of users is tantamount to gross negligence on a global scale.

It's a business that fundamentally modifies how humans connect and relate. The platform is optimized for wasting people's time and attention on anything it can, so long as that translates to ad dollars. That's shameful at best.

Those ad dollars then drive what is now a behemoth publicly-traded company. Because of that, no one's going to fuck with the golden goose in any significant way—it's too profitable and the organization's structure is solidified via way of supporting it, because it's proven to be extremely profitable.

This is how product strategy rots society at a basal level. It becomes entrenched and serves only to reinforce itself at the behest of external market factors, combined with a certain moral apathy that starts at the top.

It's no wonder really, Zuck started out with a silver spoon and succeeded at a young age. His life experience was never congruent with robust character development, nor empathy in any true sense.

You're going to use Reddit as an example, where the people least deserving of power are given it, freely, and end up banning people for merely having different opinions?

I would not have used that in my list.

It doesn't boil down to a "concession I don't prefer". The only thing you moderate are those things deemed illegal by the Federal government, anything else is fair game, which brings us a pretty large umbrella of discussion in which to engage. Some people don't want to engage in those discussions because they're hard and/or unpleasant. They not required to, and can freely leave them and ignore them. Allowing whiners who can't stand that people may have a controversial opinion that's at odds with their beliefs to have any power whatsoever is a fast track to failure on multiple levels.

I realize I've gotten used to employ my memory as a sort of index, retaining only pieces of past reads, and typing that pieces on Google to find that document again whenever I needed. It used to work better, but I've been noticing that this method is getting less and less reliable.

As websites look for sources of revenue other than Google-backed ads, Google might indeed be favoring the ones providing the best return for them. But those are not necessarily the best ones in terms of quality for the user.

Would be cool, but SpaceX is not gone finance something like that. The next decadal survival is happing pretty soon. Unfortunately its unlike a large scale Venus mission will be picked.

That said, there very well might be a couple small and maybe one medium class missions picked. Don't think it would be a blimp, more likely an Orbiter.

Priority might end up being an lander for Europe style moon as a flagship. And further Moon and Mars exploration.

My hope honestly is that we do a serious rethink and go back to the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter but for Neptune or Uranus. A flagship mission, multiple launches, large nuclear reactor, massive amount of propellant, launched on specialised Starship to get there faster. With some real large radar on it, and maybe multiple smaller landers. Should be able to operate for 20-30 years in those systems.

This is how we need to think now for flagship missions.

I also hope for further study of a Dark side of the moon radio telescope built from moon resources.

> The scientific solution to contain the pandemic would be a full 21 day absolute shutdown of everything with people surviving on rations.

It is not even a guaranteed solution. It will bring back cases to almost zero. In some rare cases, incubation time can be way longer than 21 days, you are also going to have people with weak immune systems that can contain the infection but not eliminate it completely, plus all the bad things that can happen: mutations, animal transmission, etc...

Then, if we just go back to business as usual after the super-lockdown, it will spread again, just as it started. As long as R>1 there is no way to win. And for now the only way to keep R<1 is to make our lives more or less miserable (today's solution), herd immunity through infections (and let millions die), and herd immunity though vaccines (our goal).
I generally have v0, v1, v2, ... as the main branch. All changes are made in feature branches (with unimportant naming) and are merged into the appropriate main branch. If we need to support releases then a v1.2 or similar branch is created for each release. Fixes are then added there (as well as the main branch usually). I generally don't create branches for prod or releases, just tags. I also don't have a `next` branch. Whatever is on the version branch is "next" to be released.
