To expand on this: A very strong ranking signal is how many of the users that click a search result are sufficiently satisfied with the information they have found to end their search.

A good proxy for this is how many people don't click the 'back' button to see other results.

Google is already aware of sites which hijack the back button. Their crawler detects this, and if they find it, they throw out the figures of how many people click the back button.

So if you can find a way to hook the back button so nobody can click back, while stopping google thinking you have hooked the back button, then your page will keep creeping up the rankings.

Google detects back button hijacking with their crawler (by rendering the page in Chromium and seeing the effect when hitting the actual back button), but this is circumvented by presenting the crawler different html. (or making sure the page behaves differently in their crawler, potentially by checking things like the model of the graphics card - googles crawlers don't yet support most of WebGL 2.0, and also simulate playing audio at the wrong rate)

Google also detects how many real users click back. If it's zero, then thats a warning flag. So I'd guess the back-hijacking logic is only activated ~80% of the time.
Most research into viral origins is driven by sampling and sequencing of genetic material. Even without cooperation from China there is still a record of virus samples preserved for research and also found in the environment. It is not clear that China has the ability to block the reveal of SARS-CoV2 origins. It is also not clear that a revealed origin would actually change anything about efforts to deal with COVID-19.

Furthermore, your focus on China is revealing. Other nations botched their response to COVID-19 and that is their responsibility. There is no good reason for COVID-19 to have become so deadly. The blame for the impact of COVID-19 belongs with all the developed nations that had every reason to know there would be more coronavirus outbreaks after SARS and MERS and decided instead to focus on politics or on ineffective strategies such as hosing down streets with bleach instead of responding coherently to the pandemic.
Well if you want donations from the most people possible, then yes PayPal is a way better option just on popularity alone - 6 versus 377 million users, or 491mil for GoFundMe, who doesn't require an account to donate.

Some people have had PayPal accounts for a decade plus, like me. I'm really not about to make a transaction with a random company simply cause I don't need to enter my phone number.
The thing missing from this perspective is the additional people you come in contact with while contagious (potentially while asymptomatic). Saying, “I don’t care if I get sick” ignores the others you may spread the virus to.

This is why folks are pointing out the public health aspect as opposed to a focus on individual health.

Those impacts can be dismissed or chalked up to just a mild worsening of existing trends. Additionally, these issues are generally weathered relatively well by the impacted communities and insurance helps them rebuild/relocate.

That is a very different experience from going through something like the Arab spring or the Syrian civil war if they were indeed the result of fault lines cracking under the weight of global warming.

The difference is in one model you live through a traumatic experience but society is largely there to help you through and the broader society doesn’t really share your pain. In the other model society falls apart.
And which took the biggest losses of life? Funny how children, up to 13 which my oldest age, not really complained that much.

Opening everything up now, without a adequate vaccination rate, would just put them at a huge health risk. Right after the social impact they already had.

And the social impact, IMHO, affected everyone.

I think most maths books from back then are pretty inscrutable (and I'm a mathematician).

Back in my day, if a job didn't suit our preferences, we quit and got new jobs that suited us better. If the old employers didn't like it, they'd have to come up with better offers. Why would you expect the aforementioned ex-Apple employees to do it differently?

No, more of an existence proof - the fact that people have been saying similar things since at least the 60’s should make us at least consider the possibility that the reason for the current warnings are similar to the reason for the previous warnings. Sure, maybe all those other warnings were in good faith and happened to be wrong, while the current warnings are also in good faith and might turn out to be correct. But if you can’t even consider the possibility, then we’re in the realm of religion, not science.

Point of order: linseed oil is flax oil. The flax plant is where we get the fibers that become linen. Linen seed -> linseed.

There are a couple other drying oils, but my understanding is that they're more used in oil painting than wood finishing [0].

Also note that modern boiled linseed oil is not the same as the historic product, which as I understand it, was made by boiling linseed oil with white lead. The modern stuff is partially polymerized by heating it in the absence of oxygen.

But what makes you think the vaccination will be one-time? There's plenty of indicators the Covid-19 vaccine is only effective for a limited number of months, so -if it turns out to be more like a flu vaccine than a measles vaccine- should we then continuously be able to prove that we got a booster shot in the last 6 months?

I don't know if I really don't understand this or there is a confusion in the title. The shiny-metal-ness is from an already shiny metal that is forming the drop, right? The interesting thing is perhaps the fact it is golden as the water interacts with the surface, but frankly that looks very similar to other thin-film surface interactions, some of which are due to oxidisation in other reactions. Now, that this isn't the normal O2 reaction is interesting, and that there isn't a violent H2O oxidation process that normally occurs is interesting, but it just feels like 'Look! Water is shiny and metal now' is a bit ... misleading?

>> And you cannot cook good eggs on anything but a non-stick pan.

Disagree completely. And I’m not the worlds biggest cast iron fan that swears by them either, I usually prefer stainless. But for eggs I will 100% of the time reach for my cast iron. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve reached that “mythical” non-stick level in my cast iron or what, but any thing from scrambled to sunny side up work great in mine, and I never have problems, and the pan acts pretty much non stick. Heat the pan to the correct temp (I don’t over heat like u suggest is necessary), and use of butter are probably they key. Along with a “well seasoned” pan. Which as u can tell from this thread, there is much debate on how to get there…
Everytine Duolingo is in the news here, I find the anecdotes and suggestions of alternative solutions interesting, but we rarely discuss what is making Duolingo so successful.

They have become a household name. Almost all non-tech people around me know what Duolingo is. Kind of like Tinder, they may not use it, but they know it.

I also view Duolingo as a game that provides a bit of exposure to a new language, but won't get you very far unless combined to other resources. I wonder where the IPO will lead them. They did encourage a ton of people to be curious about new languages. It worked for me. I hope they can help them get to the next level, and not become, as someone else mentioned here, the next Farmville.

Viral vector vaccines are not the same as traditional inactivated virus vaccines, and are in fact similar to mRNA vaccines in some important ways:
1. mRNA vaccines and viral vector vaccines deliver genetic instructions so your own cells produce the targeted proteins
2. Like mRNA vaccines, there has never been widespread use of a viral vector vaccine prior to this year.

Attempting to concretely define a philosophy that explicitly denies objectivity is to deny said philosophy a priori.

But really, it's not poorly understood or defined by its best critics, the issue is that normies are starting to learn about it and generally have a shallow understanding of the issues and objectives surrounding it, which muddies the whole conversation. Generally speaking though, these normie parents are accurately identifying it when they attack equity policies and other such curricula that focuses on historical revisionism, decolonization and/or any race-based concept such as whiteness. The purpose of CT is to expose and critique these concepts in order to overthrow the systems undergirded by them.

ABBA - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
Author here, thanks for reading. I totally agree that non-determinism is tricky. The big thing that got me to try McFly was the suggestions are path specific. I hear fish shell has this feature built in, but I havn't tried it out.

I may be unique in this regard but the types of actions I do in one path are very different from those I do in others: working on my blog is very different from the types of things I do when working on code and it was nice to have history aware of this.

I haven't actually used McFly a lot though, so I haven't quite seen if it going to become a permanent thing for me. The UI of using FZF for history is nicer, I just didn't like the suggested matches.

You are right though, I don't have my arrow keys setup like this. I'll try that out as well. Thanks for the tip!

Caffeine Boosts Bees’ Focus and Helps Them Learn
Of all the tools I've tried to begin learning a language, Pimsleur audio lessons have been the most effective.

They're entirely auditory. They teach you a relatively small vocabulary using spaced repetition, and if you do the lessons, you really learn that vocab well. They challenge you to speak (under time pressure) from the first lesson onwards, and because you're only learning words by ear, you can avoid pronunciation pitfalls that people who learn from written sources fall into.

You can't get to fluency with Pimsleur, but you can build a very good initial base.

I don't think Duolingo is really a very effective way to begin learning a language. In my opinion, early on, language learning should be intensely focused on auditory and speaking skills, and only later on branch out into writing, formal grammar, etc.
My wife got the vaccine while pregnant at the advice of her doctors due to the comorbidities associated with contracting COVID while pregnant. Added bonus is that our baby (recently gave birth) has antibodies as well.

I do understand that it ought to be a choice, and it still is, even with these companies. It looks like they are carving out polices for exceptions because there are folks that are unable to get vaccinated. I would hope that being in a class of people who haven’t been rigorously tested (pregnant women) would qualify.

Beyond that, they aren’t requiring all employees to be vaccinated, but anyone who will be working from an office where they may put other employees at risk. The choice still belongs with the individual.

> I don't agree with the claim that simply cooking fatty food results in a seasoned pan.

I'm sorry to say that you disagree with every professional kitchen that uses cast iron or carbon steel cookware.

Regular cooking with adequate amounts of fat is absolutely what maintains and strengthens the seasoning. The initial layer you bake/fry on is only a starter to get the pan ready for use. For carbon steel pans, it also serves to prevent it from rusting, after you remove the protective wax/lacquer that was put on it for shipping.

> If you have to season from scratch, invest in some flax oil, apply VERY thinly, and bake for an hour, then cool. Repeat 5 times.

You can do this, and it results in a very pretty deep dark golden coating that would look great on a display piece. Unfortunately the resulting coating is brittle and doesn't bind very well to the surface, so it's fragile and will flake off. It's more of a lacquer coating than an actual polymerization of fat molecules onto the iron.

To be clear, I tried this exactly as the common advice tells you to: by meticulously cleaning and drying the pan, then wiping on a super-thin almost dry layer of oil, then heating in the oven, then repeating several times. The coating was very pretty, but it was no match for the normal method I use, which is the one recommended by Matfer Bourgeat and De Buyer for their carbon steel pans.

Just clean the pan well, then fry up a batch of potato peels in plenty of oil and salt, until the peels are very dark. Clean out the pan and start using it. It will get better and better the more you use it. That's all there is to it, and it's so much quicker than repeated applications of flaxseed oil and baking cycles.

Okay, riddle me this: I work in a restaurant. I hand a bill to my customers. They leave without paying.

But actually, how do I know they haven't paid? Maybe they gave the restaurant money ahead of time when I wasn't around, or they paid secretly behind my back...

Or they just haven't paid their bill and i don't need to dig into it further. i ask them. If they paid, they'll let me know.

If they have, I'll know. If I don't know, they likely haven't. If they have anyway, they'll tell me.

> I'm not sure if the culprit is BERT or using neural ranking

Tools are not to blame here, it's like blaming the compiler for the behaviour of an application. Starting with the training data and ending with how the model is used in deployment it's the blame of people who made it, not of the neural architecture. The architecture itself can learn anything you throw at it, good or bad.
You're not going to become a triathlete thanks to training wheels either, but if you don't know how to ride a bike, the training wheels give you a good start. I've learned two languages using Duo Lingo as a supporting tool early in the process. I don't think I would have been able to have conversations so early without it. And for me, having conversations (even poorly) in my target language is the single most important factor for achieving fluency. Yeah, you're not going to become fluent from Duo Lingo alone, but early on in the process it's an essential tool.
