It's a bit of both. The company I work at has a pretty big SEO department, and it's definitely frustrating how they're able to game web search. But also last week I was trying to Google something about earbuds (I don't even remember what exactly), and searching for ("earbuds" -headphones) still brings up headphones as a bolded result because of how aggressively it tries to use synonyms.

Edit: just remembered a better example from earlier this week. Searching for "clock in a box paradox" gets results about schrodingers cat, or twin paradox articles. Searching for "clock in a box paradox -cat -schrodinger -twin" gets stuff about a video game called Cube Paradox. It's only when I search "clock in a box paradox einstein bohr" that you actually get results about Einstein's 1930 thought experiment.
I grew up in a safe neighborhood with a ton of twisting bike trails that weave through the various villages, but, are "behind" them in natural landscape so you always felt like you were in another world.

As a kid, these trails were the source of so much happiness and joy. I could hop on my bike, and go explore. Miles and miles of trails. As I grew up, I would venture further and further on the trails.

There are a couple points where the trails exit the safe neighborhood area, and connect up to the more general biking trails ... those were always such fascinating boundaries for me as a child. I'll never forget the thrill of crossing over into that forbidden land on my little 1 speed bike.

I was probably 8.

I don't plan to have kids but if I did, I would really want to ensure that they had a source of mystery and adventure which was their own. A sense of independence and freedom to explore.
Slightly off-topic, but I have similar gripes with the Fandom wiki. I am frequently on the Fallout wiki there, but for most of the searches I run (e.g. for in-game characters or items) the first result is a link to a sponsor site. I keep seeing Amazon and Ebay among others. I can't adblock that as far as I know. (EDIT: Switched to uBlock Origin and this method does work on Chrome. Very happy now.)
> I think the moon is a harsh mistress is also the one that has the scene where the female lead wants to help on the farm, but her boobs are too "distracting" to the men folk, so she goes back to the kitchen instead. (Its been a while, i might be misrepresenting it)

There is no such scene in that book.

In The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, any man who laid a finger on a woman uninvited would find himself on the wrong side of an airlock without a suit.

I like HelloChinese (spent $100 on it and then forgot to unsub which cost another $100) but stopped using it after realizing that because they only go to HSK 4, I might as well stick to Anki so I can go HSK 6 & beyond. (I don't want to use 2 apps for my srs reviews everyday).

Also if you want to use SRS for any words you learn outside the app, you'll need to use another app anyways.

I'd like to note, donning my #2 at amzn hat again, that when the idea for affiliate sales originally came up, we certainly did imagine people creating pages with lists like "best bikes for under $500". However, I feel fairly confident in saying that nobody involved in that in the 95-96 timeframe was imagining that such pages would be created by anyone other than actual enthusiasts (probably a reflection of the state of the internet at the time).

In retrospect, this was a profound failure of our imaginations back then. It's also somewhat damning that in the 25+ years since, nothing about the affiliate sales concept has been substantially modified to mitigate the weaponization of this by "best X for 202X" pages.
Exactly. Using _just_ TPM is like locking the front door to your house, and leaving the key in the keyhole.

Much better: bots insert fake responses that are calming and neutral. If you want to tailor/manage discussions (manipulate might be a better word), it seems like adding to the discussion is far better than censorship (or rate limiting as you call it). People being shadowbaned or rate limited or whatever just aggravates the problem because it makes people more hostile in general. Don’t censor bad speech, promote what you believe to be better speech.

And this is why the IPO market is broken. VC's are riding startups through multiple rounds of funding for way longer than before then dumping the late stage mature companies onto the public markets.

Those that locked in their returns, recieved the proceeds of thier 1.4million shares of $142.8 million into their accounts just before the bell rang for the market open. The bell rang everyone cheered and the shares they just sold are worth $196 million. Regular joe with a robin hood account makes the money and the CEO/VC loses money ... who knows more about the company though?

> Even if you completely believe in the future of the company, locking in returns and getting some liquidity

Worth it if you get $10 a share instead of $100? All about value. Why not dump some out in the previous 8 funding rounds? The reason is not many VCs would be in there cashing out the guys from the previous rounds, or would only do so at a heavy discount or to gain control over the company.
Pole here. Recently my friend gave birth at 27 weeks to two boys, 700g (1.5 pound) each. Premature newborns spent over 3 months in the hospital (pediatric ICU), were unable to breathe by themselves. Parents got vaccinated in January against corona and the official "early birds" vaccination process for the population started about 3 months later (for public service). Everything was free of charge. I can't imagine having to pay for a visit in the hospital.

If you ever get outside you will find that trees not only clean the air but they cool the earth tremendously. On a 90°F (and humid as hell) day here in Ohio I can literally ride my bike through a continuous tunnel of trees that block the sun light from our extensive trail here in Cincinnati. Without those trees the trail would be unusable. This is not hyperbole.

Earth getting hot? Plant trees.
It can be easy sometimes, sitting where we do now in the era of smartphones and globe-spanning networks, to forget that teaching sand to think has been hard.

Videogames required a lot of trickery to do what developers wanted them to do. And they succeeded.

(As a fun parenthetical, it's enjoyable to consider that the studio that produced this game was LucasArts. This was one of the projects Lucas had his game studio create because he was gunshy about whether they could produce games that would enrich or dilute the Star Wars brand. He wanted them to do original IP first to verify they were, first and foremost, game creators. The studio's first published game was 1985, this game came out in 1990, and 1991 would see their first Star Wars game released).
When I think about how much money billionaires are spending to influence elections, I think the last thing we need is less restrictions on voting. The system is much too influenced by money in power as it is, removing a basic protection like citizenship to vote just feels ripe for exploitation. We are a little insulated in America, and I think this is what gives rise to such outlandish ideas. Imagine if a country like Spain, or Germany, did not have a citizenship requirement. A bad actor like Russia could literally flood German states and municipalities st election time, and vote for the Kremlin.
You've got a good ear!
Language learning is like Math, without consistent practice nobody is going to get anywhere. In some ways, languages are harder than Math - Math is logical, languages are often not (tons of arbitrary rules on spelling, grammar and especially pronunciation). More and more languages are going to die, despite best efforts from linguists to preserve them. English is going to be the dominant language for the foreseeable future, and we'll soon have apps (if we don't already have them) interpreting in real time. Given the long time commitment needed to even get to a basic fluency in a language, most people are going to give up quickly, except a tiny percentage of population that genuinely loves learning new languages.

If everyone learned at least one foreign language, the world would be a much better place.
This is fine if all you care about is functions. Very little in Python is just functions though, and the same is true in C++. The issue with FFI is always adapting the different concepts from one language to another. I can't see how (or if they try) to unify other language's OOP with a functional language over the top.

I like the idea though - one functional language to rule them all is a great dream!

-trickle For network/web programmers, it can force really slow connections on software, such as 2G/ISDN speeds and even below. Perfect to test bad conditions

-pdftotext -layout It dumps a whole PDF into a text file. Useful for copy/paste or adapting the format to anything else
- unzip -qcp "$EBOOK_BOOK" "ml" ".htm" | lynx -force-html -dump -stdin -nolist > book.txt EPUB to utf8 dumper.

Trivially adaptable to be used with less, for example. Use "$1" instead of "$EPUB_BOOK" to use it on a script.
I dont know if the Canadian, the British or even the German model are the best. But what is clear to me is that for profit insurance is a system that doesn't make sense. There should be a way to align the interests of both the organisation providing the service as and the individual using/paying for it. In the American model these two are completely opposite, which doesn't make sense in an inelastic market.

Maybe if that system had VERY strong economic regulations (like, the government would set prices for everything and let private carers compete in "value added".)

> I never really learned awk properly myself either

It's really worth it. It's simple — pattern matches and block, BEGIN/END, hashes, match() and gsub() cover 90% of my uses. I very often find myself writing something like this:

awk -v id=$id '
$1 == id {
go = 1
}
{
if (go && $4 == "b667226") {
km += $5
secs += $6
n++
}
}
END {
printf("%d rides, %d km (approx %.1f hours)\n", n, km / 1000, secs / 3600)
}'

This program takes STDIN, reads each line and:

* sets a flag indicating interesting data has been found if the first column matches an ID passes on the command line
* if the flag is set and column 4 contains "b667226", add columns 5 and 6 to running totals, and add 1 to a count of matching lines
* after all the input has been read, prints out a summary of the data

Of course, any language can do something like this, but awk is succinct, easy to iterate on, and available almost everywhere.

You can drop the probably.

Stranger in a Strange Land explicitly points out things like the Christian ritual of communion being ritualized cannibalism, for example.
One example that immediately comes to mind is how division by a fixed divider is usually optimized by the compiler into something like "quotient * 21378123891231 >> 5". Meanwhile a value like 0xFF0000 is probably an unremarkable mask for the third byte.
Tax externalities and then return that money averaged out over everyone as a dividend, see [0] for an example.

Therefore instituting the tax will lead to an immediate boost to those who already use less electricity, like poor people. But everyone has the same incentive for using less.

If it weren't for Reddit, Stack Exchange, etc. nothing on the Internet would be organic anymore!

Try https://millionshort.com/search?keywords=best%20road%20bikes... If you search Million Short then the top two results are (1) an actual bike store and (2) an actual bicycling magazine that's 100+ years old instead of seo spam.

But you raise a much more important point: if you query the web like a stupid person then you'll get stupid results.

The OP shouldn't have searched for "under 500" because good bikes under 500 are called used road bikes from a local shop or craigslist owner (as the author revealed and I discovered myself when I was younger c. 2006) so saying "under 500" is sort of like saying, "show me the cheap mass market bicycles please", because the number of people who want good bikes is small, but it's a really devoted group, who are willing to pay what people like us would pay for a good PC or even a car, so if you've already decided you want the chromebook of bikes, then amazon and google aren't doing you that much of a disservice, let's be fair.
Maybe you saw it on a previous story where I shared it as well? If you look through my comments you'll find it. Albeit a bit more expanded I think. Sorry if this bothered you.

> I have not gotten the vaccine as I prefer the known, extremely low risk of contacting COVID over the unknown longitudinal risk of the vaccine.

There's also a longitudinal risk of covid as well. Given that the future is unknown, why would you count that as a reason not to get vaccinated instead as opposed to a reason to get vaccinated? You should really basically be considering the longitudinal risk as neutral since you don't really have any information saying it's issue.
Same here. Even though as recently as yesterday I was wondering when the next installment of the launch HN group thread was going to be posted, and I even checked dang’s submissions yesterday to see if I’d missed one. And yet I read this title and for each word I read my jaw opened more and more as I was imagining one startup doing all of these things xD
What is the intent for showing how many people were late or no-shows? Is this app for internal meetings? That would explain the no-show / attendance thing.

Or is it for external events? In which case, what is the importance about late attendees. No-shows is to be expected, especially for free events (And even paid events have a substantial no-show rate).

I'm confused as to who the intended customer audience is meant to be.
Something I've noticed is that when you're building a backend, your program only ever interfaces with other programs. You can establish a reasonably predictable protocol. But when you build a front-end, you're interfacing with the human brain and all the messiness that that entails. It's an incredibly difficult thing to do well.

The old license is not effectively invalidated in any way. Almost nobody you presented the license to would know that another one has been issued, besides possibly a police officer. It would be fairly easy to tell them that you got a replacement and then found the old one.
These things never cease to amaze me. Basically NBC can buy the rights so that people can't just go and buy the stream from the source, but *must* go through this middleman.

I'm personally feeling pretty uncomfortable with comparisons to flu and the cold today.

One of the guys on my team has just got out of hospital, he is in his mid-20s with no underlying conditions. Yet when be caught Covid he ended up in hospital on oxygen, was admitted to ICU, there was talk of him having to be intubated before he started to recover. That doesn't sound like a sniffly nose or a bad case of the runs to me.

I know it's only an anecdote, a single data point, but it means a lot more to me.

I think that's much more the case than the whole "XY" issue. It's clear the people asking "clarifying" questions about the workflow didn't have the slightest idea that man did that, much less why. But they can't get points or a feeling of accomplishment from recognizing that they're out of their depth and staying out of the discussion.
Wow, that was a joke? Did everyone but me just 'get' that, or was it a meme at the time (discussed regularly in forums) and I just wasn't in on it?

But still annoying.
Do they really raise more money by selling to a middleman rather than to consumers directly?
> Backends are so much easier to build compared to frontends, and I mean decent and reliable ones.

Evidence would suggest otherwise. I can build a decent and reliable frontend with a no code solution. That's not to say frontend is "easy", just that trying to say which is harder is ridiculous. They're different.

I personally don't like working on frontends because it feels like getting on a hamster wheel that spins faster than in any other domain. ymmv though.
Gov agencies and political processes take ages to do anything at all.

At this point I'd still like the internet companies doing partial policing of content. At least they'll achieve something.
Let's not give them too much credit here. I think Uber's halt had more to do with Uber's change in CEO and the indictment of the guy who ran their self-driving car program. Plus the fact that it was a giant money sink with no short-term return being run in a company that has never been profitable and can no longer raise infinite investor money.

Swarm, the satellite connectivity company, debuts $499 evaluation kit
Personally I just setup sanoid and syncoid on my NAS. They were dead simple to get up and running with.

Sanoid makes snapshots according to a schedule you define (e.g. 1 monthly, 31 daily, 24 hourly). It also prunes old snapshots to ensure that you always have the exact snapshots you need available and no more.

Syncoid uses zfs send/recv to copy over snapshots from one ZFS dataset to another, typically between machines. You basically have two options: either you can:

1) copy over ALL of the snapshots from the source in the order they were created (like cherry picking one git commit after another onto another branch), or you can:

2) configure it to make a new snapshot every time it syncs and just copy over the diff since the last time you synced (a bit like squashing all the commits into one and just cherry-picking that).

The former is good if you want to maintain the same snapshots on the source and the destination (you can also use sanoid on the destination to prune the snapshots further).

The latter is good if you want to minimize the amount of churn sent over the network. For example if you're snapshotting VM images you'd be interested in sending over the state of the VM as it appears at the end of the day, rather than all the intermediate state.
So at what point have they gone too far?

At what point do we give up our freedoms for this?
