Looking for an arm assembly instruction, instead I get this strange website as the result http://mailstar.net/coronavirus.html

Is that accidental or is this website promoted because it's text heavy and will surface for any search without many results?
What do you mean "email whitelist"?
Agreed, bit for the notion that parents with more children would care less per child: As a parent with multiple children, there seems to be a network effect, because you see them interact more with one another as a group, so the caring compounds.
> So how do we suppress harmful misinformation, such as that the 2020 election was stolen through widespread fraud. And not provide tools that can be misappropriated against truths which are inconvenient to people with money and influence?

We recognize that the "we" you're referring to are the "people with money and influence." "Harmful misinformation" from their perspective is information that they dispute either factually or through implication or perspective that could harm them, the people with money and influence.

> So how do we suppress harmful misinformation, such as that the 2020 election was stolen through widespread fraud.

With clear and extensive explanations and transparency. The people who insisted loudly that there was no widespread fraud the moment the election ended in their favor were operating with as little factual, auditable information as the people who were insisting that there was. The people who were insisting on a fraud narrative were of course consuming a lot more misinformation, but both sides were pretending that they were knowledgeable about something they weren't, at all.
That's a leap, though. I get what you're saying but it's two different things: severity of symptoms is a completely different metric from "they had a heart attack" or "they died."

It's also a federal crime to file a false report, so this isn't just the shoe shiner selling stock tips: https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html.

If anything, this data might be missing reports (as noted by someone else below).
Agreed, although I think that while Thiel might not be a stereotypical Bible-thumping Trump supporter, his libertarian leanings place him significantly closer to far-right anti-government types than his polished cosmopolitan-technocrat side might lead one to believe.

Also worth remembering that a lot of rich and powerful gay guys really are pretty conservative, and aren't that concerned with traditional liberal ideologies overall. I'd say being rich—and white, and a man—insulates them from many of the hardships that get people thinking about social justice; if you and your friends aren't treated badly on a regular basis, you could easily forget that other people are.

(Especially if you're very wealthy and would like to keep it that way.)
Why are .net domain names relatively unpopular? New technology sites often use .io and .dev even when there are a lot of available .net names.

Censorship would be intentionally preventing people from seeing something that they want to see. Here, the main intent is to prevent spam and nobody wants to see spam.

Even as a free speech advocate, it's hard to see a problem with this.
That would make REPL difficult to use, since you would need to know in advance what you want to do to pass the right permission flags.

REPL is particularly useful when trying out things "live" as they come into your mind.
> Company researchers in 2019 set up a test account as a female Indian user and said they encountered a “nightmare” by merely following pages and groups recommended by Facebook’s algorithms.

> “The test user’s News Feed has become a near constant barrage of polarizing nationalist content, misinformation, and violence and gore,” they wrote. The video service Facebook Watch “seems to recommend a bunch of softcore porn.”

> After a suicide bombing killed dozens of Indian paramilitary officers, which India blamed on rival Pakistan, the account displayed drawings depicting beheadings and photos purporting to show a Muslim man’s severed torso. “I’ve seen more images of dead people in the past 3 weeks than I’ve seen in my entire life total,” one researcher wrote."

Facebook's default content consumption mode is to create a nightmarish experience. FB doesn't care as long as those ad clicks are working ok.
We're building a way to add custom functionality to Notion
To add onto this, the identities on good forums, with reputation scores, post counts, tenure, etc. served as a useful proxy for some degree of expertise or experience with the general topic at hand.

On Facebook everyone has a transparent identity, yet somehow seems more like an anon if outside of your real life circle. On Twitter post and follower counts don't correlate with having thoughtful or informed opinions. On Reddit shitposting dilutes everything, with a dash of Instagram-like flex culture for karma points, and the effect / bias towards a hive mind is too powerful.
I don’t even think that violent video games are harmless. I just think the desensitization is more insidious and longer-term, maybe something with cultural and spiritual ramifications, but not something that’s as immediately harmful to public health like depression caused by social media social stresses.
I haven't noticed any issues. An advantage of .dev is that it belongs to Google, so I am sure it that will work smoothly for the most part.
Yes, but Twitter is free and everyone who cares to know will find out there relatively quickly.

If you're really serious about the game, you're in the Discord (which theirs was on fire the whole time and had to go read-only).
It gets a little tricky here because in the US (and Canada) ex post facto laws are only forbidden in criminal matters. Laws may be applied retroactively in civil matters (Calder v. Bull).

Further, at least in Canada, parliament can institute ex post facto laws by invoking the nothwithstanding clause. Always a little hairy politically, but legal and compatible with the rule of law.

[edit] I would further argue that ex post facto laws in general are immoral.
I wonder how well these new TLDs work for custom email if you use them with Google Workspaces / Google Apps for Domains or another reputable email hosting service. I've been using a custom domain (though a .net) for decades now and since I moved to Google Apps years ago I haven't had an issue being seen as spam.
yes, there are many skills needed to get a startup off the ground (and a whole heapin' of luck), and lumping them vaguely like "sales/marketing" doesn't help. you need to be able to recognize (first) potential customers, find them with leverage that far exceeds the labor input, study how/why they become customers, foresee market and other risks, distill all that into strategy and features, sell these distillations to others, including cofounders, investors, and customers, orchestrate a reasonable development plan, forecast the future reasonably, and do this over and over again.
I love it when I apply for a lot of jobs in one day, get a lot of rejections, then check the traffic on my GitHub and there’s minimal traffic. I guess at some point it pays off but it sure seems like climbing a mountain to get there.

LOL, you know nothing about what I do. And it sounds like you have experience with "freshly written code that crashes multiple times a week for the first few years"... here's a hint, it's probably you and your development team to blame, not the JDK.

Maybe you should quit being lazy, learn the new JDK APIs and features, and convert that POS legacy codebase into something that's not dependent upon a platform released 7 years ago. But then again, maybe you're not a competent enough developer to do so, so you blame the JDK developers instead.
I seriously doubt the developers of GrapheneOS have really done as much due diligence on their custom ROM as Apple has done on iOS. For one, Apple controls the whole stack down to the CPU. GrapheneOS is forced to rely on many external parties to not be hostile from Google with their Android stack to the Linux base to whatever the SOC maker has put into their silicon.
.net and .org were the original .xyz. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s they were seen as less reputable for businesses. I think they still carry some of that tarnish.
I'm seeing more and more discussion on a stuck mono culture, and I have to say I agree with it. This is an interesting write up on the phenomenon.

https://paulskallas.substack.com/p/is-culture-stuck
I've never been an iOS or Mac developer, but I have had a few 5,1 Mac Pros. The release of m1 mac minis pretty much killed the used market for those, but you may still be able to find one for cheap. I was able to find a few 12-core 24-thread dual xeon models for around $250, but had to be patient. Add in 64GB of ECC RAM and an SSD upgrade, to Mojave or Catalina, and you have a beefy enough development system for around $500. Those 12c/24t will get smoked by an m1 mini for a lot of tasks, but if memory matters then it's probably still the best bang for the buck. Also, you'll need to find a GPU....
WOOT! That's awesome.
Do you want a self-hosted location tracker because you don't want someone else tracking you? Because it's not going to help. Your cell company knows where you are at all times, and even with location turned off, your OS is reporting enough information to either Google or Apple at all times to know where you are to within a few feet.
I recently set my google location history to auto-delete. At first I wanted to keep it recording my location history forever because "just in case" I needed to know where I was for something that was extremely unimportant. Overall, I've looked at it only handful of times over the many years it has been running so in the end it really helps Google more than it helps me. I might even just turn it off completely. I'm slowly shirking this data-hoarding, "I might need it one day", mentality.
I know it's a bit superficial, but I love Deno's branding. Their logo is cute and evokes a sense of calm, and the variations on the mascot are nice.
Any PMs that have 5 min for 10 Qs to help a startup?
You mention sales. The OP is IMO perhaps overly focused on marketing, which is part of the mix certainly, but sales, setting up partnerships, establishing relationships with media (either directly or, more likely, by hiring an agency), etc. Marketing plays into all this but, depending on the needs, even an experienced marketing person may not have the right mix of skills by themselves.
I mentioned in the submission above that I’ve watched a couple of videos, but I’m looking for someone I can talk to about it.
I think the commenter's point is the following hierarchy: Linux > WSL > Windows
1972 called. It wants its C back.

I'm not a fan of Java either, but age of origin doesn't mean anything about a programming language. Python in concept is older than Java and is still considered modern.
Before I get into email business(I run my own email forwarding service[0]), I don't understand why provider block those domains.

Then I immediately got it. The amount of spam emails from .xyz .click .faith .top is huge. And with every email comes from them, we have to run spam scanner, which isn't cheap. So we have to score those TLDs more sensitive.

https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/ can give some insight about spam rate by tld.

There is a strong argument that the accusation of Pascal not being useful, is not anything based on facts, history, or reality.

It is also weird to put Pascal into a box, as if the language is not allowed to evolve/change. C and C++ is not the same language that it was 20 years ago. Doesn't make sense to have this expectation for Pascal.

In addition, you can't gloss over that the different dialects of Pascal addressed issues. For those that program with Pascal, these differences are often minor or considered a plus. You can choose the dialect that best suits your needs.

Many would say that it is unfair to bring up Kernighan's 40 year old paper (from 1981). Things in the Pascal world changed almost immediately after it was published.

Turbo Pascal came out in 1983, and addressed various issues. Then Apple created Object Pascal in 1986, addressing even more. Then came Delphi (1995) and Free Pascal/Lazarus (1997).

Take a look at the below link, Which addresses most points outlined in the paper, in terms of modern dialects of Pascal/Object Pascal.

https://wiki.freepascal.org/Why_Pascal_is_Not_My_Favorite_Pr...

Arguably, Kernighan created a "hit piece" paper for AT&T Bell Laboratories (they are on the document).

AT&T was pushing C and then C++, so were very much trying to take down Pascal. This is a document that was "weaponized" to be used against competition, and very strangely, it still being used as such when most of the points presented are no longer relevant.
It's not only about skills - it's about focus.

At one point I (as a bootstrapped solopreneur, profitable for a long time) decided the bottleneck in my career is not technical ability or features. I sorely lacked business depth, marketing and sales skills. In shifting my focus, I read a ton of books and learned about SEO, email marketing, PPC, lean startup, etc.

It turned out that I managed to fare even worse than before. Instead of having stellar products with lousy marketing - I spread myself thin by adding marketing on top of development, customer support, website maintenance etc. If I were able to find a cofounder I like, someone with deep knowledge of the niche we are in (databases), with great work ethics and presence in database communities, it might well be one of the best things for the business. I would focus on the technical side, that person would be the bridge to the community.

It's hard to find someone with deep database knowledge who wants to be a marketing and community building cofounder. These people are paid a lot for their expertise. With more money now, I am focusing on being the architect and write more, with my team handling the development more and more.

So yes, it would be good to have a cofounder. It may simply be too hard to find a person with complementary skillset to join, so we developers have to keep paddling until we reach a point where we have enough time to focus on marketing. Or, simply hire a great marketer with good track record in our industry. Money fixes many problems.
Penis Enlargement Remedy
Yes, google returns results from the FDA, American Journal of Therapeutics pro Ivermectin study, WebMD, the CDC, the NIH, Wikipedia, the WHO, and New York Times.

Marginalia returns results from Wikipedia, a faculty member’s university blog regarding river blindness, a website called truthsummit promoting it as a miracle cure, a website called vaxxchoice promoting it as a cure, vitamindsstopcovid, etc.

I’d say the quality of the results are quite different.
I am really not fine if you need to have a Facebook or Twitter account to follow. Add Facebook blocks any RSS attempt to grab post from their pages. Facebook is GeoCities with restrictions.

>Yeah, Slack is even worse than email for most uses. At least with email you have conversation threads that consolidate discussion on a topic that you can actually find later. My experience with Slack (and similar) that that everything gets fragmented immediately, to the degree that you can never put it back together again.

Just recently I spent an hour unbundling a mail chain with layers of poor quote - reply - ask for clarification - further reply.

The way we use slack is start a top level topic and group all related discussion in a thread.
> insulates them from many of the hardships that get people thinking about social justice

He grew up in Pretoria and it sounds like he had a pretty rough time. And it's hard to argue that he's having an easy time now, the press has been personality-assassinating him since the early 2000s when Gawker outed him as gay when he was in Saudi Arabia, where gay people are often punished by the death penalty...

My 2 cents is that he cares about humanist values quite a bit, but just doesn't think the wokes are going about it the right way.
With money, their external representatives can purchase the jail/prison and thus turn the jail into a kind of holiday resort for the rich. It'd be like house arrest.
This has absolutely no relevance to me but that SQL snippet just bugs the hell out of me. I can't fathom why you would do a subquery in the from section and then not utilize a join. You're just bringing 2 datasets and letting them sit side by side, why not just move the subquery to the select section? Execution plan should result the same so I guess this is just a preference thing?
> 1. Create a One-Liner that tells the primary reason your offering needs to exist and be adopted by your customer. 2. Associate each Feature with a Benefit, all pointing back to the One-Liner. 3. Create a Landing Page that proves 1 and 2.

As an experienced marketer, all I can say is the above is very, very, very good advice. Just do that and you'll be ahead of most people.

Simplicity, clarity, benefits, and focus. It works.

Much of the work I do, in terms of marketing, is figuring out that "one liner" and then explaining how everything else fits under, and supports, that one-liner-umbrella.
No, that isn't what membership implies. It is a cooperation and data sharing agreement, it doesn't unify countries intelligence agencies across borders.

For example GE makes engines for Boeing airplanes. They may have a cooperative agreement and mutual non-disclosure agreements that allow engineers and designers to share engine attachment and airframe details freely, but that doesn't mean GE employees have access to information on the radio headsets.
That's not true: when location is turned off, location is turned off. Apple still has a loophole where turning off Bluetooth doesn't turn off Bluetooth, but location should be "fixed"
That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure the anatomy lines up. Like the mass of belly fat and fatty liver pressing down from above in upright humans resting on the pudendal artery wouldn't be the same as how the mass hangs on quadrupeds. This is an interesting line of thought too, like what organs get compressed under gravity from increased mass assuming it's primarily a mechanical problem.
This is where experience comes in, and the need for good mentors. In many cases, you can explicitly define your solution with certain key differences relative to prior work.

That is why it is wise to have good patent lawyers on your team. You may still get sued, but your likelihood to prevail can be increased.

Companies know this, that is why it is often cheaper for, say, Apple to purchase entire start ups than to sue them. The inventor still benefits in this case (actually, they can benefit more than typical inventors when this happens).
It's a native feature in Chrome.
Yes, but they left out explicit murder-for-hire charges in the indictment for that trial. They filed a separate indictment with those charges in a different state which they dropped after the first trial ended.

It's not exactly the same but I see a pattern of using an accusation to influence a trial without intending to prove it.
Sorry about that - just saw the article and immediately started hyperventilating/wanted to vent as a child comment with someone that also seemed to 'get it' haha... cheers
Americans, in my experience, have mastered the art of fake enthusiasm (and likely are the first to say "exciting" in an exchange). It seems to be overflowing into Canada, in fact (still anecdotal). No idea why they are unable to show real emotions but have to come across as enthusiastic, empathetic, all the good stuff. All this in public. I wonder what they deal with in the solitude of themselves, and how.
You are overthinking my comment. All I was saying is that this company and the people leading it have been involved with bitcoin since the price was measured in cents. It goes back so far that it predates the bitcoin payment processors that would handle transactions and pay you out in your currency of choice. Odds are they have had some stake in bitcoin. They therefore have likely made money as the value of that bitcoin has increased.

And for the record I generally don't have a positive opinion of cryptocurrencies and am specifically down on bitcoin. I am not projecting what the market cap will be in the future. I am simply commenting on its history.
I hope the DoJ is successful. Taxpayers and families are bearing an incredible cost and toll from the damage they've done.

It is also important that the government reflect on its on role in letting this get as bad as it did.

The little experience I've had says they generally set up a contract that says they'll pay and you don't actually get the severance until they lay you off.

Really, if they are only getting that money if they stay until a certain date, then this is more of a retention bonus followed by a layoff.

I don't know why you'd give an Israeli tech firm the benefit of the doubt. The country's tech industry is literally surveillance. Kape is not just "possibly" a surveillance operation, it 100% definitely is.

Prosecutors do have those tools, though? I mean, in the specific case of wire taps, we probably wouldn't even have that word it the corresponding investigative tool did not exist.

But we also have laws around when they can and can't be applied. There are standards of evidence and suspicion that must be reached. Due process exists even for billionaires. Also, prosecutors or investigators might not use those tools if they doubt useful evidence would be uncovered.
Yes! We plan to bring Faiss in and utilize a lot of its functionality, our goal for this release was to get an end-to-end working to get feedback on the API. HNSW was a good default with this in mind.
That doesn't actually happen in the US.
I've seen a lot of communities moving from IRC to Discord, which is a fantastic improvement in accessibility, search, etc.

For the types of communities I'm thinking of (eg, certain retro gaming niches), forums had essentially been dead for years before Discord rolled around and helped revive a lot of conversations.

Maybe it's an awkward fit for technical stuff where you really just want Q&A, but I love it.
Grow and eat your own vaccines
Part of this is just understanding communication, and what healthy communication looks like. The other part is knowing yourself, what you’re looking for, and being honest with where you’re at.

When developing a new relationship, friends or otherwise, it’s great to ask them questions about themselves, to try to learn more about them and to empathize with them. After awhile, generally the person realizes they’ve spent a lot of time talking about themselves and begin to ask you questions about yourself. If they don’t do that, then you’ve met someone, you learned a new perspective, and maybe consider trying again with another person somewhere else. It’s hard to find meaningfully good friends, but when you do, it’s worth it. Life, like coding, is just trial and error.
