In the olden days, I used to search with Dogpile. It was a multi-search engine query site: In those days, there were a bunch of search engines (altavista, yahoo, google) and to find what you wanted it was easiest just to use Dogpile.

Like most people I know, I switched to Google directly when I realised I just scrolled down to Google and clicked the first link.
Yeah I think this is common. Where I grew up I could easily bike to some other kids' houses or to school, or a mile or two around the neighborhood for exercise, but other destinations I would have been interested in (the library, the local ice cream shop, the hardware store, parks other than the school playground) were basically impossible to reach due to distance, traffic/safety, or both.
In an interview on The Skeptics Guide to the Universe (https://www.theskepticsguide.org/podcasts/episode-829), West explains that part of the reason the Defense Department cannot explain these videos is rather pedestrian: the systems in use are classified. Quoting from the transcript (https://www.sgutranscripts.org/wiki/SGU_Episode_829):

"The problem is that the military don’t want to talk about this, partly because this is a classified system that these are recorded on. It’s called the Raytheon ATFLIR system. And it’s a fairly advanced targeting pod that straps on underneath the planes. And if you look for example videos shot with this on YouTube, you will find, basically, nothing—like a few really grainy ones, because even though I’m sure there’s tens of thousands of hours that have been shot with it, it’s all classified. So they don’t want to talk about it. And if they do analysis of it, that becomes classified by default. So they’re not going to release it. And they’ve actually explicitly said that they do not plan to release the results of the investigation into these videos."
"for some reason"? Their wages are hours-based. Of course they wouldn't want it.

So who should you get mad at then? Every single app developer?

That developer can probably hardly care less that I don't support them. Either the app is good enough that people will endure the ads (in which case they will always preser two revenue streams to one) or the app is not good enough in which case people will stay away on their own.

The incentive alignment is pretty clear: if Facebook and users let them, devs will show ads.

There's no real hyper focus on growth. There are plenty of important/powerful/influential people who loudly and clearly say that it's just an artificial measure, we must look at the real problems. Health, education, poverty, etc.

Growth mostly comes into contemporary discourse when people talk about investment or when people use it as a swearword.

There's no real dependence on it. Yes central banks target 2% inflation (US Fed uses the PCE deflator), because it is comparatively the easiest/simplest. Targeting "full employment" is just as important. If there would be nothing to improve, build, no one would have any unmet need, nor anyone would trade anything, then sure, we would not see growth nor debt, but for the foreseeable future growth is a useful indicator for how much debt is okay.

There are some great suggestions in this sub-thread... don't get a gadget for the sake of getting one.
That said, if you have a considered need for one, here's my take:
I "think by writing" and unfortunately my textfiles are more organized than my physical papers.
The reMarkable 2 was worth it for me.
The thing eliminates all my paper clutter and is so close to paper it's effectively identical. There's tooth to the paper and drag on the "pencil." It OCRs your handwriting and is searchable.
Options: I recommend absolutely spending the money on the eraser-equipped stylus. Otherwise you have to manually switch tools using the slow eInk UI and it would be a nightmare. I got the grey cloth cover and it's a great understated look compared to the leather. Just looks like a notepad.
My reMarkable 2 had an odd build quality issue where the back was bumped out a little. I got an early one.
The device goes past the uncanny valley right into a paper replacement. I had to stop myself setting a coffee cup on it because I forgot it was 'lectronic.
Re: durability, I still use paper pads at the electronic or mechanical bench due to worrying about scratches on the reMarkable. The screen has not scratched yet for me but I do worry about it.
They can go large enough for anything that matters.

What I realized years ago is that the upvote on Stack Overflow don't mean "I tried this and it works for me" or "I'm an expert and this is the answer". No, the upvotes on Stack Overflow are along the line of the upvotes/likes one would find on Reddit or HN. More like "you sound confident" or "I was looking for this but I haven't tried it yet"

I'm sorry, but what would someone need to hand you for you to at least admit there _might_ be a worldwide problem.

You complain this doesn't prove anything outside of the US, but I've already linked to material which covers similar issues in Australia, the UK, and Peter Singer's book which talks about this for all of Europe!

Does someone need to literally drag you to each and every factory farm? Seriously asking, what would it take? Just to consider, on your own, seriously, that perhaps the way we kill these _billions_ of animals every years (100s of billions if you include fish!) might be pretty fucked up.

You say you're interested in exchanging views, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What would it take for you to actually be convinced that there is actually a problem?

Also, it _is_ USDA data. They are using it to draw a conclusion based on things like # of animals that farms own, etc. But it is USDA data they are using.
It'll end up as much as a twentieth of a teaspoon of salt per bottle, depending on the soft drink. This is not a huge dose all by itself but you don't register it as salt: it sneaks in as part of other ingredients, rather than being added by the spoonful in raw form (that said, 'natural flavorings' can cover a lot, so it CAN be just added as part of the recipe.) Leave it out and your flavor balance will be more along 'New Coke' lines.
Whoah, it's a crafting game.
It's not useless because it's not about trustworthiness but rather about expected functionality. I may consider google.com and amazon.com as trustworthy in general, but the user does not want anything from these sites that needs WebGL functionality, so if they try to enable WebGL, that doesn't serve a user need and needs to be denied; and shadyjoessuperfun3dgame.com.aaaaaaaaa.ru might be less trustworthy, but if someone wants to play that superfun3dgame and it needs webgl, they might reasonably enable webgl and the related tracking opportunities for that site alone - but not 99% of the rest of the web.

It's more about the general paradigm of recognizing that yes, there are some web apps that would need extensive functionality that might be abused (e.g. advanced copy/pasting features for an online document editing tool, or the ability to connect to USB devices, or camera/microphone functionality, etc), but also that most web browsing does not involve things that user desires to be a web app, and all those sites should be limited to a quite narrow sandbox of functionality. All these fancy features with privacy risk that are needed for some advanced web app replacing desktop features are fine and useful, but they should be exceptions on a per-site basis, not enabled for the whole browser so that they can get used by random blog that includes a standard ad-network javascript file.
The joke answer is “who knows.” The real answer is likely living lives and in societies we don’t have the knowledge to fathom.

Tesla peaked at around 880$ on January 2021.

Since then it gradually tanked to around 660$.

Clearly their valuation is indeed dropping at a considerable rate.

There was a good freakonomics podcast episode on this where they interviewed both Gladwell and the original author. The person who did the original study basically said Gladwell was not representing his research accurately.
Assassinating the president is as old as Rome, but if there was a TV show from March, 1963 where the military-industrial complex, mad at the president for not escalating Vietnam, decided to kill him by hiding a gunman in a building along his route in Dallas, We’d still be talking about it now.
As long as you're using it to represent what could be physical measurements of real-valued quantities, it's nearly impossible to go wrong. Problems happen when you want stupendous precision or human readability.

Numerically unstable algorithms are a problem too but again, intuitively so if you think of the numbers as physical measurements.

But is that an audit? How much does that worth against a determined and skilled adversary? I mean if they quickly do a lot of big changes they can easily drown packagers/reviewers, and then slipping something through becomes a waiting game.
I was able to be productive in a day at McDonald's. At the joints factory, in an hour for my main task, and 5-10 minutes for the others. I think skilled physical labor (plumbing for example) is usually very well paid (I live in France so maybe that's the cause?). Do you have examples of skilled physical labor which is still minimum wage?

Your argument about physical fitness and "mental" fitness makes sense though, that's something I didn't consider. Thanks for the insight.
Yes, it may have advantages. But every advantage comes with disadvantages.

Same with Uber, which is forbidden in Germany. Once you get used to Uber you wonder, how you were you able to ever live without it. Germany is a backward country. Digitization is 3rd world there. Looks, like under Merkel the country has been asleep for two decades. I am not sure they are going to wake up.
Yeah, I wouldn't put this as "the ship sailed long ago" because this implies resignation. However, this stuff will just keep getting worse.
Yes, but if inflation also pushes up asset prices, you might have been better off investing in the stock market.
I don't think so, but you should still get paid 20% less in that case. Or they could lay off the least productive 20%-30% of employees.

Sorry, Marxists!

(By the way, nonsense like this is constantly posted because our socialist friends think they should get paid 40% more, or at least the same, for working 4 days a week. No, you should get fired because with that attitude you employer can find someone more interested in doing your work, and for less than you.)

Misplaced pity is an odd thing to add to your comment.
Would you clear the misunderstanding then?
> Then there's the press which lives by sensationalizing every bad thing that happens, leading us to grossly exaggerate risk levels in our society.

Humans are really bad at assessing risk. Parents are more likely to be afraid of a stranger kidnapping their child when their child is far more likely to die on the car ride to school.

Which is sad when you think about how suburbs are designed to make people feel safe even though their road designs tend to be extremely dangerous.

He writes big, popular books making grand, confident claims about the world, and purporting to back them up with scientific evidence. Experts in the fields he draws from regularly point out significant errors (or misleadingly selective presentation of facts) in his work. The Igon Value thing is a reminder that his work is more a storyteller's patchwork than a researcher's synthesis. (You'll say it's obvious that he's not a researcher; maybe, but some pop-non-fiction writers have more of a researcher's mindset than others. They might not be true experts but they read deeply in search of the truth.)
That wasn’t what I was saying. All of the things you mentioned made her come off as not very smart. Google = skill development is a separate point I took issue with.

I also didn’t say that searching itself isn’t a skill. Of course it is. I’m saying that advertising you know how to Google doesn’t mean you can acquire any new skill, which is what the bio implied.

This, coupled with the better and bigger news - European union is considering allowing side-loading / direct installing of apps on ios from outside Apple's App Store ( HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27531213 ) - would make me love the Apple platform again.
It doesn't look like you've created a product that competes with AWS, on the contrary. So I'd think you're fine.
Really? You buy an expensive VR headset to... not use it?

Also, not sure, but isn't there eye-tracking built-in? If yes, the headset could actually detect that you're closing your eyes and keep the ad there until you open them again.
I think that’s true if you’re trying to learn a new tool or technology. You probably won’t learn as much following the Rails or Django tutorials if you’re just pasting all the code. But if you’re just looking for some esoteric workaround for some very specific tool and use case, I think it’s fine to paste. And the latter makes up the overwhelming majority of my Stack Overflow visits.
I find it fascinating that as soon as vegan diet option is up to conversation, people just presume cuisine, cooking and recipes are thrown out of the window. "eat boiled beans with rice", is like claiming all there is to meat is to rip the package open and chew on raw meat with no seasoning is the default way meat is consumed, and make a case from that presumption

The are/became vegan, not Gollum that claim everything should be eaten raw to Sam.
I think this is a good article.

I also think generalized fundraising advice mostly sucks. You're looking for a believer in you and your company. That's it. If you're lucky enough to find many believers in parallel you can use that to your advantage - this is where you can leverage asymmetries - but I think that's the exception to the rule, not the rule itself.

I treat fundraising like playing Final Fantasy VI. There are many paths towards defeating Kefka and many possible teams you can assemble. But the game isn't open-ended; most characters are NPCs, and there's a pre-defined single win state (defeat Kefka, build a big business) and loss state (you teams runs out of HP, your company folds). Finding investors is like recruiting Terra, Sabin, Mog, you name it.

In FFVI, you can typically tell who the PCs (Player Characters) are by distinctive sprite features and behaviors. NPCs walk around in circles. PCs engage dynamically, offer to help you, appear in short bursts, then disappear mysteriously for long stretches of time, only to return when you need them most. You may not recruit them when you first find them. You may forget about them entirely. You may miss them on your current playthrough. But it's obvious who they are.

Raising capital is kinda like that. You can figure out who the NPC investors are pretty easily - especially if you've spoken to a lot of investors. They might re-engage a lot but they obviously follow a script. They're not passionate about you or your business. They might have a large following or any number of PC characteristics, but the "tell", the equivalent to a unique sprite, is how they mesh and interact with you as a person. Note that some NPCs in FFVI and other games are scripted to bloviate and tell you how amazing you are. So simply telling you nice things is not an indicator of a PC. Actions speak much, much louder than words.

I'd say that fundraising is mostly about learning to discern NPCs from PCs and not wasting your time on the NPCs that don't move the story forward. And having the stamina to stick to it and acknowledge the PCs do exist and are out there. That's all there is to it. It takes a long time to find PCs and not all are accessible immediately, but I have the sense that when you find them you kinda just know who they are.

My advice to founders is when you find people you want to work with, just let them know and be kind. Be pushy. But be kind. The NPCs will get caught in a script, in a loop, they'll just keep doing and saying the same things over and over. They don't really know they're the NPCs in your business yet, because they're PCs in many other businesses. You'll figure it out sooner than they will. The PCs in your business will actively adapt to you, your business, your fundraise even if they don't join today. There'll be a fun backstory. You'll watch it happen organically.

Then again - this is generalized fundraising advice, so it also must kinda suck. Make of it what you'd like.
> Because the purpose of regulation is not simply “stop people from doing things I don’t like.”

Of course it is. What does regulation do if not prevent an undesirable class of actions?

Isn't this basically the classic Silicon Valley playbook?

1) growth at any cost, even if you're burning money left and right

2) find clever ways to "monetize" your product and strip everything that made your product attractive in the process.
I would also be careful generalizing this as Japan is likely to have a very outsized improvement because of culture.

Japan is noted for having to be "at work doing nothing" for obscene number of hours because the boss is also "at work doing nothing" and then having to go drinking afterward.

This is a recipe for unproductiveness.

Being able to actually have the day off because you don't have to emulate the boss breaks this significantly and is likely to have an outsized improvement on productivity.
Well I needed to visit the website due to an unfortunate event in meatspace - in no way hacker news related. So it seems there's definitely at least two sites which do it!
>iMacs stood for clean desktops with little hassle

Yes, but that's always, ever since the original G3 iMac, come with the caveat of "as long as the only things you're using the computer for was covered in those 2007-era ads". Besides, if you have the money for the iMac experience, you also have the money for a printer that sits on the network (though admittedly that's not something that the iMac's target audience understands) as well as devices that use the new ports (or for the people who understand that it's just the connector that changed, conversion cables).

If you don't want to pay for the aesthetic, or have the foresight to realize that you can't use the aesthetic (because you need your computer as an appliance more than you need it to be an art piece), it turns out that Apple makes a computer that's functionally identical to the iMac for literally half the price (this was less true pre-2006, but the point still stands). Yeah, you have to bring your own screen, but if you need to save money that badly then buying a new screen every time you replace your computer was already a non-starter, right?

(Note that this rebuttal is in no way defending the fact that the 2 extra USB 3 ports are gated to the model that costs $200 more than the base price, which is an insane markup on ports that cost a fraction of a cent each, or in other words, the USB hub that Apple sells is built into the machine at 100 dollars a port.)

Because most people haven't read GDPR or similar laws, and play it by the ear. Considering GDPR is often called the cookie law means people who dom't read the law, and don't hire lawyers end up doing things like this.

I don't see any loops, but there are a number of branches. The code could probably be generalized using loops to support arbitrary precision, but I think any optimized implementation for a specific precision will have unrolled them.
