Hi Jonathan! Thanks for the question.

The main problem is that Poppins is a display typeface, not a text typeface. It's not good for large blocks of small type, and in fact as I examine it more closely, it becomes obvious that it's a low-quality design.

Here are some of the problems I've noticed. I've annotated them here: https://imgur.com/a/8am9VJy

- The proportions are distorted, with some letters of excessively varying widths. Capitals like C, D, E, L, G are usually about the same size, but in Poppins, C, G and D are enormous while E and L are too narrow. You can do stuff like this to be cheeky, to have the type draw attention to itself in a display typeface; but a text typeface should aim to be legible, not flashy or distracting.

- Kerning is poor, with big irregular gaps between letters, especially after P and T.

- The lowercase e in particular is a problem. The middle bar is so thin that it almost disappears, and the tail comes so close that it almost closes the circle. You might think that a single letter can't mess up a whole design, but it's the most common letter in the English language. :)

- Hyphens are way off-center and parentheses are too tall, which just looks sloppy.

I discovered that you have entire pages of text set in Poppins on your website; these are actively painful to read! Like, just try to read the entire page and see if your eyes can tolerate reading all the way to the end, or try to count the number of times "search" appears in the text. Poppins has the silly, goofy personality of something for young children; it's hard to take seriously. It's named "Poppins" after all! And with all these quality issues to boot, pages like https://brave.com/brave-search-beta/ just look unprofessional.

Do you have a designer on staff? Your designer should be able to explain all this to you and more, and to choose a more legible typeface for your body text. Pick something boring, like the system font on Macs, or Inter, Source Sans, Open Sans, Roboto, etc.

Hope this helps! If you run an A/B test, let me know how it goes.
We put geothermal in a house we built outside of Madison, WI. 4 wells dug, 150 ft each, for hearing and cooling. We set our home to 70F 24/7/365 and left it alone. We usually get a week to 10 days of never going above 0 F, and on some of those days the unit ran 20 hours a day to keep up.

I was reading some reviews on Google of rave clubs in Budapest and Google translated them from Hungarian to Croatian.

The translations were quite funny and bad but I noticed a bunch of new Croatian words that do not exist in any dictionary.

There were a couple of reviews where I found myself laughing because I implicitly understood the review but the Croatian words were completely made up (Googling the word you won't get any results).

So I guess the translation systems might already create words, especially for language pairs that don't have enough data.

You're wrong because at the very minimum it means that my device's battery isn't consumed for the scanning.

Further, enabling uploading won't work if the cloud account is full (as is currently the case).

Turning off connectivity prevents the upload and scanning from occurring.

> It might not matter much if Canonical or IBM decided to port a critical mass of open source extensions/packages. Then they could ship the new CPython in place of the old one and mention the differences in the release notes.

The lifeblood of Canonical and Red Hat / IBM is long term platform support for companies that want their most critical code to not break underneath them.

Even if the open source libraries get ported, there are still plenty of proprietary C extensions out there for which this would be a breaking change - the "dark matter" referred to in this post.

It would make zero sense for them to "throw their weight around" and _unilaterally_ break their customers' code if even the upstream devs didn't want to go through with the changes.
What are you basing this on? Seems like a large claim to make about what people are innately attracted to.

> spending 20 years of resources

this overly-simple, too simple, example of one person and "the military" is not at all representative of say, the Bison and praries, or frogs and freshwater. And who are the most prolific polluters in the Federal Government, and who is famous for "20 years of resources wasted for no result" .. ?

Its just as abrasive to hear this pre-baked conclusion, as for others to hear the actual truth of say, entire regions of coral going extinct.

Will need to check this out.

I've been looking for a way to index my mother's recipes in a useful way, was somewhat motivated two years ago.

I wanted something that:

1. produced well formatted PDFs for printing (my mother prefers paper).

2. it would substitute different ingredients. i.e. this recipe contains milk, a simple button or keybind would change it to an appropriate milk substitute.

3. automatically produced different measurements.

I tried GNOME Recipes [1] as it checked a lot of boxes but it has some big bugs still that make it basically unusable.

I considered maybe doing something org-mode and emacs, but kind of lost interest after that...

That is just to view 'my' perspective as the norm, as reasonable, and those that differ as political change.
Developers are wasting their time if nobody wants to use what they develop. Miners lose their income if they are mining blocks on a chain that nobody wants to use.

Users running software nodes validates the blocks, limiting what miners can do. Miners can be pushed to change the rules with methods like a 'User Activated Soft Fork'. The proof of work algorithm can even be changed, rendering all the ASIC hardware of the mining industry worthless.

> There were a couple of reviews where I found myself laughing because I implicitly understood the review but the Croatian words were completely made up (Googling the word you won't get any results).

Is it possible some of those were actually Hungarian words being copied verbatim into the Croatian text? Or maybe close variants of the Hungarian words (such as in a different grammatical case)?

I've seen before, when translating from one language to another, if Google Translate doesn't understand a word, it just copies it verbatim from the source to the target. I don't know whether this is true, but it seems possible to me it might even sometimes "normalise" the word when doing so (e.g. if it doesn't recognise the word, but recognises it as being in genitive case, it might convert it to nominative and stick the word "of" in front when translating it to English, assuming the source language's grammar is sufficiently regular to permit it to convert an unrecognised word to a different case.) I've definitely seen it transliterate unknown words in the source language before (when translating from languages with non-Latin scripts.)

Doing something like Hungarian to Croatian is likely worse, because it is probably being chained through English instead of being translated directly, which doubles the possibility of odd things like this happening. Since both Hungarian and Croatian have grammatical case, if it is doing the kind of "case-based normalisation of unknown words" I was talking about, it might do it twice (Hungarian->English then again for English->Croatian), creating even weirder results.

Importantly, distributed public blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum don't give large holders the power to tax other participants, engage in seigniorage (1), or censor transactions and thereby become gatekeepers/tollgaters.

(1) PoW hardware or staked coins, in PoW and PoS Sybil control mechanisms, respectively, do give their owners the power to issue new currency and collect transaction fees, but it is an open market where all capital earns the same percentage return, and thereby does not exacerbate wealth inequality.
"Control" is such an interesting word in this case.

This feels like a joke, but deciding on where/how to buy something completely ignoring the price (same everywhere) is refreshing.

Gold trades something like $183 BN per day. U.S. Equities something like $240 BN per day. These are very rough figures. But Bitcoin is worldwide and I don't see how you are hung up on $1B / day.

We aren't slaves, we are partners. Nor are we all startup leaders.

We have ideas, we don't necessarily have the time, money or even ability to capitalize on them directly as a business.

We also have no need to come up with ideas which have direct application right now. We can come up with "here's a good idea (maybe)"... stuff, and it really doesn't matter so much if it doesn't pan out.

We still get the bonus, the credit, and the feeling that our idea got recorded and acknowledged.

It's making lots of small bets to get ahead, rather than go for broke on one big one.
What is “it” in this case?
Maybe, but to tell a story, these projects ended up making flights to a non-existent place.

I'm from Bermuda, a small group of islands in the Atlantic ocean.

What's probably now approaching a decade ago, we were alarmed to see airlines starting to sell tickets to "Greater Bermuda". This isn't a thing that exists - and initially it was assumed that someone at the airline had made some kind of mistake.

Over the next six months since we first saw this, the concept of "Greater Bermuda" and "Great Bermuda" started cropping up all over the place, eventually making it into Google's knowledge graph as well.

At this point, and encouraged by some fellow Bermudians, I dug in. It turns out that this all started as a fiction Wikipedia article written on the de subdomain. At some point someone translated all these orphaned articles to English bringing them over to the main wikipedia.org. Sometime later, an editor came along and merged several Bermuda articles into the Greater Bermuda article, and then various knowledge bases that absorb data from Wikipedia started aligning to this new "reality". Some time after that, various airline databases also started being reseeded with metadata from these data sets.

I happened to work for Google (still do) and was able to start filing bugs. At first, most were ignored/discarded, but after some persistence, both on Wikipedia and inside Google, I was able to start removing some of these invalid sources.

As for the data, well, if you fly into Bermuda, you'll land in St. George's, which is absolutely not the larger of the islands, though if it's cupmatch (https://www.gotobermuda.com/article/cup-match-time-bermuda), some say it is the greater.

These projects are successful, yes, and they're mostly reasonable data sets, but if you are a motivated adversary, or an innocent fallible, you can use these projects, directly or indirectly to make significant change. While this story didn't have much more than a cosmetic effect, some of the folks prodding me at the time predicted worse outcomes had the situation continued. Bringing the issue closer to home for most here, integrate this example with the social political strife and active participants, and you may question whether these projects are even a good idea. Perhaps we could instead once again employ people to write encyclopedias, and fact check? We sure need the jobs, and there's plenty of money around.

>I neither support nor oppose Israel.

By "oppose" I mean "think the US needs to bomb them or something to remain neutral due to an incident 50 years ago". I missed who you think the US is not being neutral towards, since you seemed to rule out the Palestinians.

>without lobbying practically no one in America would care about Israel either

That doesn't seem plausible to me. Maybe you link government aid to Israel to lobbying, but how does it help public opinion? When do people ever hear about "the Israel lobby" except as part of anti-Israel rhetoric?

>I wouldn't say Israel started because of WW2

I believe I once had a book that described immigration in the 30s to Palestine, and ensuing riots, because the immigrants were buying land and not recognizing tenants' right to continue living there. I take for granted nothing comes out of nowhere, but WW2 + the lead-up + the British Empire crumbling seems to have been what made it a reality. Millions of Jews had to be convinced there was no alternative, as well as others.

Internet is too damn hard to make these days!!!! When I go back through wayback and look at the sites I was making as an early teenager in the late 90/early 2000s, it was me every month publishing the same thing but you could tell I'd just discovered a new menu in dreamweaver. Tables to tables and frames, tables and frames to some css, css to some dhtml. At some point I learned all the dreamweaver menus I wanted to learn and there isn't any stackoverflow or anything to really learn much more online, so that was that, I moved on to learning linux, and then on to learning irc. I wan't trying to learn to code, I was trying to figure out how to make weird things I could put on the internet. That was fun!

My point stands - the number who "qualify" is decided by two bureaucracies. One decides how much money to spend, the other spends it.

In such a system, it's typical that one bureaucracy decides what "qualify" means.

And another decides what "educate" means.

It recommends products that were most frequently included in the same order. So it’s not recommending similar or related products, but products frequently purchased with the product in question, so the wine use-case wouldn’t recommend wine, but it would recommend cheese, bottle openers, chocolate, etc.

This makes sense in the context of the example the author copied from [0], where the dataset is sports equipment. Often purchased in bundles of related products for a specific sport.

I guess depending on how people define it, Bitcoin would originally be the hedge against the traditional banking and monetary policy just as Ethereum would be considered a hedge against Bitcoin. Other major blockchain platforms like the upcoming Polkadot and Cardano would be hedges against Ethereum and Bitcoin -had it not been for- (hope I'm articulating this right) the philosophical rift of their founding members seeking to improve on their network without causing hard forks which coincidentally happened, both times.

> the top 10,000 individual Bitcoin investors control roughly one third of the cryptocurrency in circulation.

The relevant comparison here is to other currencies, not to organizations in general, and to the ability and incentive of these controllers to influence the trajectory of the currency.

Two points:

1. 10,000 people controlling 33% is dramatically less control and centralization than the Federal Reserve, which ultimately has about 10 powerful people.

2. These 10,000 people have very little ability and even less incentive to affect the price of Bitcoin. Again, unlike the Fed, which can print money at will and increase inflation.
Any resemblance to a real word with same spelling is purely coincidental.
It's not about volume, but that to support a certain price bitcoin needs $x/day net inflow. To support $1M bitcoin, the market would need ~$1B/day of new money buying into bitcoin (at least for the next few years until the next reward halving).
