How about distributed crawlers coupled with a distributed datastore similar to Freenet?

Your browser automatically crawls the pages you visit and adds the info to the distributed index that is also stored on all participating machines (perhaps with a copy on the cloud for query performance). Though a single browser may visit only a few pages, we ought to get a pretty good WWW index from the combined crawling of millions of browsers.

Main advantage would be resistance to censorship.
Thank you so much! These are very helpful. I am quite familiar with Integromat which works similar to Zapier so it should be simple to glue the rest of our tools together.
It’s a bit higher than $18/mo, and your average american changes their phone every 2 years, and further phones are not $800 anymore. But let’s assume they are, over 2 years that’s $34/mo and let’s say 4 people in the plan. Over the same period you’ve doubled your phone bill. If $100/mo is expensive then so should the $134/mo or so to upgrade phones every 2 years.

Well, if Kuhn cited Polanyi "pretty extensively" this wouldn't happen; citing from the Wikipedia (I know; there's a reference) entry:

"Supporters of Polanyi charged Kuhn with plagiarism, as it was known that Kuhn attended several of Polanyi's lectures, and that the two men had debated endlessly over epistemology before either had achieved fame. After the charge of plagiarism, Kuhn acknowledged Polanyi in the Second edition of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.[7] Despite this intellectual alliance, Polanyi's work was constantly interpreted by others within the framework of Kuhn's paradigm shifts, much to Polanyi's (and Kuhn's) dismay"
That wouldn’t change that clicking the lock icon in your browser would show the same certificate on every website, and that this certificate was universally valid. Pretty obvious…

Based on these comments I believe everyone here is talking about the resiliency of the tech job market. I'm talking about the resiliency of the job market in the US, and the job market globally, what are sometimes called 'semi-skilled' jobs (a truly brutal term but hopefully that helps people get it). Even this doublespeak about talking about resiliency of markets implies a certain amount of dogma about how markets, not people, need to be resilient. If the market is resilient, it will somehow trickle down to ordinary folk.
It refers to the manpage section. Good SO post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3586/what-do-the-nu...

No, the pay/expense ratio is not good at a global level. The odds of making it to an 'early' retirement at age 60 at 50k per year and saving 20k are very low. The odds at 150k saving 50k are equally low. This is because the net worth required to move to passive income, due to ZIRP, has gone way up.

Which works for a lot of people. We don't know what causes a number of mental health issues. Research is being done but a lot of it hasn't gone anywhere.

The human body is complex and there are firm ethical limitations to what methods we can use to understand it. Experimenting on people is fraught with hazards and abuse.

More accessible ways to learn to cook: easy-to-read recipes using symbols
This article relies on the assumption that a singularity event will eventually happen. 2020 Nobel winner Roger Penrose wrote 30 years ago, in his book "The emperor's new mind" the philosophical challenges on Strong vs. Soft AI and what Quantum general computing would imply if it is ever achieved. This article simplifies (a lot) the arguments and fosters a terror-based analysis of current AI capabilities. I don't believe this article is at all trustable but only the opinion of somebody who wanted to write.

> Regardless you didn't use my SSID to figure that out, which is my point, we all have lots of data points out there that are more public than SSIDs and those will be used to compromise us much faster than the SSID method will.

I think we intermingled two separate points there:

- An SSID is not unique. My point was, despite this being true, it is usually possible to narrow down the location far enough using auxiliary information so that an SSID is sufficiently unique. That was the point of my previous response to you.

- An SSID is usually not considered sensitive. For the two of us there are enough other data points, but quite a few people prefer not to have their nick linked to their real name. I doubt they are aware how fatal sharing it would be. As mentioned in sister comments, the name is also quite often in crash logs, so something as simple as seeking technical help might lead to your home address being compromised.

Now, this list is surely not the end of the world, but the privacy implications are pretty bad IMO.

Most (not all!) new kits, even the ones that are marketed at kids (not the obviously-intended-for-adults ones) try hard to minimize exposed nubs, and use tons of itty bitty bricks in ways that feel like they fell out of some kind of automated CAD process.

The result is smallish, expensive, huge-brick-count sets that're cramped (hard even for kid-hands to play in), hard to non-destructively add on to (you have to rip bricks off to find nubs to attach to, sometimes doing a lot of damage before you've got much useful nub-area exposed), and really hard to repair without the manual and a ton of time if part of it gets smashed.

Some of my older castle sets have a brick count similar to modern structures (again, ones aimed at kids, not architectural models or whatever) but are over twice the size and came with like a dozen minifies and horses. The per-piece price may not be much different on modern sets, but there's been some serious size deflation.

The new ones look better (I'm guessing they sell better, too, for that reason, especially to adults making the buying decisions). The old ones were much better LEGO.

The GDPR doesn't even mention cookies.

It's the ePrivacy Directive that regulates them (or, more precisely, "information stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber").

And the ePrivacy Directive does, in fact, define what's allowed without notifying the user:

"any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out or facilitating the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary in order to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user."

re: non-encrypted iCloud storage: I agree with you. I keep medical and financial data encrypted (e.g., their Pages app supports encrypting documents, and you can encrypt PDFs, etc.) but I would rather they did this for me. That said, for the 90% of my files that I would post on a street corner, I find iCloud storage across my devices is handy.
Instead of ranting and providing nothing but conjecture about how "expensive" GDPR is (whatever that means), or insinuating that lawyers "arguing" about something proves that legislation is ineffective (that's literally their job), refer to first hand sources and ask constructive questions in good faith about what you don't understand. Here's one example: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/

Both first party session cookies and "shopping cart" cookies are mentioned as explicit examples of cookies that do not require prior consent and are unlikely to cause any concern.
The number denotes what section of the manual the command (or function, etc.) comes from. Aside from that, it also helps clear up potential confusion about what you’re talking about—a good example is stat(1) (the command) and stat(2) (the system call). Without the number, you’d have to rely on context clues to infer which stat was the relevant one.

[citation needed]. No, the article doesn't list any citations to a criminal suit against someone for sharing PS3 encryption keys. There is a civil lawsuit against someone for distributing PS3 jailbreaking firmware, of which the keys form a part (but not the totality!) of the suit, and even that is only indirectly referenced.

Years ago I attended a seminar by Wilson Bryan Key about Subliminal Advertising. I purchased 2 of his paperbacks and read them. Things that people laughed off as "overly active imagination" and "you're seeing things that aren't there" now seem to be a common fear. If you don't recognize when you are being manipulated, or you don't believe you can be manipulated, IMHO - you are a prime target. Ref: Media Sexploitation: Key, Wilson Bryan, also Subliminal Seduction: Key, Wilson Bryan.
Search has changed a lot in the past decade or so. Now most results pages are full of instant answers, e.g., knowledge graph responses (which we do completely ourselves) and local results (for which we have our own index + Apple Maps and local providers like TripAdvisor). In other words, it isn’t just one index, but about 20 that really matter in terms of adoption.

Additionally, people engage with the first thing on the page about twice as much as the second thing, and that second thing about twice as much as third thing, and so on. That means if instant answers are near the top (increasingly the case) it means that those sub-indexes are increasingly more important as they are engaged with relatively more than the traditional “10 blue links."

A lot of that traditional web index is also used for just navigational purposes, which we can easily do ourselves. We are already crawling for our tracker blocking data set, encryption data set, and several other things.

In other words, we do make use of our own crawlers, and also have the ability to change some things around for indexes we use, which we do routinely. However, you need all of these indexes to make search work well, and have them all come up at the right times (a lot of what we do in search ourselves).

In this context, I think people elevate the long-tail “web index” too much. Should we have satellites in space to make good maps? It is also necessary for search. Should we be collecting sports and stocks data ourselves? Also necessary for search, but no one really calls on us to do that.

Our approach has been to partner with the best data providers in each vertical so we can provide the best alternative to Google search. And when nothing exists or it isn’t good enough, we do it ourselves or add layers on top. To that end, it isn’t binary — there is a lot in between and in fact that’s the way it works today.
The trouble with the modern sets isn't specialized bricks, it's that 3/4 of the brick count is short 1x1s and tiny flat cladding pieces used to cover all the nubs. They're worse for play than the old ones with more large pieces (so, a chance of actually repairing the damn thing from memory if part broke) and exposed nubs to add on to. Older sets also had way more interior space or surface area for a similar brick count, for ones where that mattered (buildings, vehicles).

I recommend against attempts at humor front and center like this on a resume. It’s too early.

I’m in a serious mood trying to solve a serious problem when I’m reviewing resumes. This would fall very flat with me. I would not think you were serious about finding work.

Sneak in some humor later and it might work. If I’m interested enough to read the details of your resume, something humorous later on might get a chuckle out of me.
