I wonder if there would be a credible way to crowdsource editorial work. Have a journal that anybody can submit to as long as it is reviewed by 5 verifiable peers, or 3 who themselves reach a certain level of credibility (or some other better, similar system). Reviewers would need to accept to basic communications with the journal for verification both of their review and their credentials.

Reviewers who continuously approved poorly received articles would need to be dealt with, but it seems like it could maybe work more generally, and would be relatively easy (although less desirable) for more restricted groups (like limiting participants to a certain group of universities, etc).

It would make for a certain amount of relatively fringe opinions being published, but it might help break the bottleneck, which after the elephant of prestige, is mainly about money to pay for the time of editorial staff.
There's also the alignment of interests between you and the site operators, even for a small search engine. Cooperation improves outcomes for both sides. Whereas the more aggressive scrapers almost certainly have interests that conflict with the site operators, regardless of the costs to serve the traffic itself.
Most of it is, especially modern history.

When it's not completely factually wrong, it's a distorted echo of the fact for ideological, nationalistic, etc. purposes. Other times it's a made up simplification or national myth.

Still, "what if"? Well, nothing much. It's not that people's everyday life depends on historical accounts being accurate.
The price of housing is determined by the monthly payment that can be carried - after down payment helped by the bank of mom and dad.

In a depressed interest rate environment, a larger mortgage can be carried.

As rates go up, the mortgage you can qualify for goes down and people on variable rates or short terms (common in Canada where mortgages must be periodically renewed) can get in serious trouble.
I can't say whether or not they are worth it, but they provide some degree of branding, mainly to "adjacent" communities. If I see a paper in IEEE something, I have some degree of assurance that there is a minimum quality level, even if I'm not that familiar with the area.

Also, at least for IEEE, they provide some help with running the conference, publishing the proceedings, etc.

Whether or not they provide value commensurate with their cost is a separate question.
SO's market share declined substantially throughout the trial. How does that fit your thesis?

If you go by the CPUID family identifier, then essentially everything from the Pentium Pro to the latest x-Lake are all in the P6/686 family. The only exceptions are Netburst (P4) with a family of 15(!), the GPU-ish Knight's Ferry/Corner in family 11, and Quark with its Pentium-level instruction set still in family 5.

"there's no incentive for academics to save the taxpayer money by handling publishing themselves."

They could also build the labs themselves, grow their food themselves, where does this end?

The taxpayer's representatives couldn't spend two days thinking through where and how they are going to store and sort data coming out of the research they are funding. Well, someone did it for them (not even particularly well) and is now laughing on the way to the bank. Mind you, it's not like the researchers get a share of the profits, so your critique is very unfair.

None of these journals even bother storing the actual data that came out of the research, so that you could check it statistically.
I would find advice like this more helpful if I could figure out how to integrate it with the idea that somethings actually are bad and that pointing them out brings awareness.

An HN example might be bug reports. Bug reports are not being negative, they're being positive, trying to help fix an issue by pointing out it. The same is true for feature requests. You might not like the request but it's arguably a positive thing to get the info and possibly be presented a new idea.

I'm recently semi-addicted to the "Not Just Bikes" youtube channel and it is arguably all "bitching about stuff". But the goal is clearly to raise awareness of the what most in the USA take for granted.

I often try to look for the positive, but it often feels like learning to accept shoddy quality. Hey, this food tastes nothing like the real dishes but at least I was able to afford to go out..... Doesn't help the fact that the food was bad. Hey, this item I got from amazon is bad quality, but at least I'm privileged enough to have been able to order??!? It's hard to see how not being negative here is a net positive.
Cool! I worked at the NeuroSpin lab in ten years ago, and I recall the 11.5T giving people a lot of grief. There was significant doubt about whether it would ever work. IIRC one of the biggest issues was that it would pull in microscopic metal dust, which would then line the imaging tunnel and distort the image. I wonder how they resolved this.
I think this is a powerful indictment of a sector of the current young generation who believe that "violence is the voice of the voiceless," with perhaps even less knowledge of or regard for history than Lenin's generation in Russia had:

"All the other fateful means resorted to over the last century of Russia’s bitter history are even less fitting for us today—true, let’s not fall back on them! Today, when all the axes have hewn what they hacked, when all that was sown has borne fruit, we can see how lost, how drugged were those conceited youths who sought, through terror, bloody uprising, and civil war, to make the country just and content. No thank you, fathers of enlightenment! We now know that the vileness of the means begets the vileness of the result. Let our hands be clean!"
Nope. If they don’t increase interest rates (and they are clearly moving faster than what they said a year ago) inflation will skyrocket and the Canadian dollar will be crushed, causing more price inflation due to imports.

The BOC will have no choice. They’ve just painted themselves into a corner.
... And the watermelon, like all gourds, is one of them: a plant cultivated only for its fruit. That appears to be a bug in the blog post. Some plants, are eaten both ways (both the fruiting body and leaves or other body parts are consumed).

With fungi we eat only the fruiting body, but nobody calls them “fruit” except in the superclass sense (“fruit of the land”)
I live in a foreign country that is very different from my own.

Of many interesting observations , I’ll say that it’s taught me that different cultures can have objectively better and worse aspects.

Not everything is better or worse, most things are just different, but some things both here and in my home country make me want to grab and shake people and scream “there is a better way!!”

But also, if you want to live a happy life, you need to accept what you cannot change and plan ahead for disturbances.
Depends on what exactly is being scraped. If it's something like price data or exact values then it isn't protected by copyright at all.
Write it down or express it in some way. Completely, even the worst, and I mean the worst, of those thoughts. Then, going back over my own material, I find it weird that I wrote such negative thoughts, and it motivates me to bounce back up from the bottom of the barrel.
Yeah, grew up in America and live in Bangkok now.

I realized there are many, many things about Thai culture I prefer and that I generally get along with Thai people much better than Americans.

So I guess the moral of the story is that just because you grew up somewhere doesn't mean it's the right culture for you.

It's not like everything is perfect here though, far from it. And if you are a miserable person you'll be miserable anywhere you go. A combination of changing myself and changing where I was living is what really has helped me, not just one or the other
Is there a magnet strength sweet spot for diagnostic imaging?
OP specifically pointed out that it's well documented. Every program makes tradeoffs, and I don't think anyone in this thread implied that because Postgres made this one it's unstable or bad.
LEO junk can't really imprison us. First, LEO junk decays - especially if it's in non-circular orbits such as caused by collisions/explosions; Second, space is large - if LEO is "full" of junk then that means that long-term orbits have a high chance of some collision, preventing us from launching Starlink-like constellations, but launching a rocket through LEO (to e.g. Moon or Mars) would still be reasonable even if it's "full" of junk (i.e. a hundred thousand fragments flying around in undetected orbits) as such amounts of fragments still don't cover that much space, they don't make it impassable, launches would merely become not as safe - if a launch has a 1% chance of exploding because it hits something, that sucks but it does not really imprison us.

> The reason why France is making so much noise about this is probably because their arms industry does not have legal options to get satisfaction so they're pressuring the government.

The French arm industry is part of the government. It was somewhat privatised during the past thirty years but most of it is still majority state owned. This is not the USA. France uses foreign sales to fund its sovereign defence programs. If some people are getting rich in the way, they are very few.

This is entirely a strategic and diplomatic issue not an economic one.
Fine, send a 403 then.

> The client does not have access rights to the content; that is, it is unauthorized, so the server is refusing to give the requested resource.

Machines don't have any legal responsibility, bot-operators do. Which is why respecting these things is sort of important. At any rate, 40x does not mean "try again with a different user agent and another IP"

These societies are run and composed of by academics themselves. In fact, the executive salaries are $0 as far as I know, so it's a volunteer organization.

It's basically how publishing would work if academics take control away from commercial publishers, i.e. the post-disruption publishing arrangement that people in this thread are cheering for. Authors generally have the option to keep the copyright of the papers when publishing for ACM, and at least host the papers on their homepages.

This is a good thing that they dominate CS/EE as they have more reasonable access costs, and many academics no longer have to publish at commercial publishers. It's not completely free because there are real costs to publishing, but it's the best option I can think of for now.
Yep. Rich people deal only with the things they chose to deal, even when "working" (starting from decising what they work on, and whether they want to work at all -- many rich people give up CEO meetings and the like to managers and trusted people and spend most of the year having fun - not that you'll hear about them, since they spoil the image of the hard working rich).

In other words, if Bezos - or any lesser multimillionaire - wishes to delegate something, he delegates it.

The non-rich don't have that luxury, and this is exhausting.
TVA in the United States has a variable rate per month due to fuel surcharges.
Three generations go into one house, if you're wealthy.

If you're poor, in Australia its not uncommon to have a 3-bedroom house with 20 migrant men, who hotbunk and rotate every 12 hours.

This is the dismal reality of mass immigration.
> One of more effective strategies was to field a "black hole" server, basically it was an http server that answered like you had gotten hold of it but then it never sent any data. With some simple kernel mods these TCP connections were silently removed on our end so they took no resources and the client would wait basically forever. We ack'd all keep alive packets with "Yup, we're here." so they just kept waiting and waiting.

Mailinator would do a similar thing with their custom email server hardware. Since they didn't really use sockets in the traditional sense, they were happy to give slooow replies and never disconnect "bad" connections.
"they don't have the time or energy to boycott everything that challenges their principles"

Or maybe they don't want to live in a cave.

>Self-discipline and endurance are big characteristics of many successful people.

You'd be surprised how many poor folks have tons of self-discipline and endurance - almost all miners, for starters...

>but maybe they got rich because they were able to maintain focus on their goals.

Family, education, connections, lucky breaks, friendly favours, and a standard work ethic and "focus on their goals" (which you can found on myriads of poor people) did it for most.

Eh, in my humble opinion I think this has held true for the majority of games I've played. Even still, the larger metaphor is that most players prefer action to storytelling.
Culture eats strategy (and tools) for breakfast. Until there’s a cultural mindset shift towards how companies value data and metadata, nothing will ever truly change.

It's not like the French have never lied to anyone. It is funny to see how the us uk and au all conspired, with a straight face to screw over France, I didn't think these things still happened. I wonder what the UK gets out of this, beyond membership in the big boys club.

Good journals already have some of these features, private or community driven. E.g. "Quantum Journal" is community driven, and while it lacks polish, it has a fairly functional editorial board. APS journals, which are much more polished (but also require submission and/or subscription fees), have pretty serious internal reviewer database (including editors evaluating the quality of the reviews).
I am not promoting Java over HTML.

But existing and becoming entrenched as a worldwide standard many years in advance is a huge advantage for HTML over Java that isn't relevant to considerations of redesigning the Internet.

So that would be a very big reason Java "lost" a major part of the battle it never showed up to. Very difficult bar to replace a platform so pervasive as HTML after the fact.
From kvark himself, big fan of your work :) Very interesting, thanks for saying this, I wouldn't have thought SPIRV->Target could be faster than or near the same speed as WGSL->Target.

I guess with compression probably being quite good, as well, there isn't much point of a SPIRV extension for download times or processing times?

Study classic networking and distributed computing. There's nothing really novel about most cryptocurrencies from a CS perspective. The ones that aren't scams are all built on classical consensus algorithms and p2p application programming concepts. A few even offer novel albeit incremental contributions to the state of the art.

Because it's better than the alternatives? What would you suggest?
> you can write Java and C# in a more performant way while not sacrificing time to market, speed of refactors and maintainability.

In practice you only have so much attention and there are better places to spend it.

> Also, if performance, throughput, stability wouldn't be a thing, we have to wonder why Twitter switched from RoR to Java?

If raw speed matters we have to wonder why Twitter started with RoR, and only switched (mostly to Scala, not Java, AIUI) once they had tens of millions of users.

In a tiny handful of outlier cases where a given piece of code is run literally billions of times a day it eventually becomes worth doing performance microoptimisations. But only after you've confirmed that there's absolutely massive demand for this particular code and already done your iterative refactors and figured out what the code should do.
> They could also build the labs themselves, grow their food themselves, where does this end?

Professors can't build labs but they already run journals. They just don't care to take control from companies like Elsevier because they don't care who can access their research beyond other academics who might cite them or their tenure committee. Even though the barrier is very small, and the benefit to the public large, there is a lack of incentive to go over it.

> Mind you, it's not like the researchers get a share of the profits, so your critique is very unfair.

Of course they don't profit. They just don't care if the public is being overcharged for access to research the public paid for. They don't care that they could change that by putting forth a modest effort. I don't see how that's an unfair assessment.
The asymmetric vulnerabilities are simply because USA has so much more satellites compared to everyone else that give it various economic and military advantages.

This means that an escalation that wipes out all space resources for everyone is effectively a major loss for USA, as they lose a lot of capabilities, investment and comparative advantage, while those who had less resources up there did not suffer much because they had much less to lose; If anyone would be starting a major land/sea/air conflict with USA, then taking all space stuff out of the picture would be very useful for them.
This is amazing, cheeky, and even has the technical accuracy to back up the humor. Bravo author, if you're here.

I attended a talk that was trying to develop something like that. Lots of challenges, but his goal was to make MRI cheap and portable.

I'd say mobile UI is like working with clay, while CSS is like working with sand. CSS was designed before mobile, so a lot of the hate comes from using a tool that's not for the right purposes.

You have to build different sites for web and mobile, often with the painful responsive frameworks. The results are inconsistent across different browsers. And then there's the flexbox. You have things like this just to fit stuff into a row: https://css-tricks.com/international-box-sizing-awareness-da...

Whereas for native, it's basically one design that works on all screens. Except maybe tablets, but it's not common to do a separate design for tablets.

Homeowners breakdown with paid/unpaid mortgages. Which is quite interesting. Ownership with a life long mortgage is not that good sounding thing. Regardless, it still shows what Canada is in fact not even in the first half for home ownership in OECD.

> It's important to stand up to lies and to speak against recognized propaganda for what it is, but how capable are we as a society even to recognize the propaganda and lies when we see them? And how many of us have the courage to do so in the face of it?

Feel-good rhetoric aside, your impact as an individual is limited and your defenses are fragile. In real terms, speaking out in even the most diplomatic way leads you to being aggressively silenced for not endorsing whatever the Sacred Infallible Truth may be in the time period that you live in, and there can be very severe consequences that impact your weakest link; your livelihood. The best you can feasibly do as an everyman is try with the people closest to you; the people that trust and respect you. Your partner, your family, your friends, your children. This is your only feasible option.

The issue with the passage you quoted ("And as for him who lacks the courage to defend even his own soul...") is that it's a call to arms yet it ignores the reality that you have no weapons with which to fight.

Reading between the lines of your post; if your society insists on going down a certain self-destructive path there's not much you can feasibly do other than watch it and hope your perspective is the misguided one.

"turns out"? How did it turn out so?

Actually it turns out that having an interpreted runtime causes a stream of endless problem. We keep try to patch them over but new problems keep coming up.

It turns out that a standarized low level byte code is the right way to ship cross platform applications. We already knew that. It just took a long time to go through the standarization process and be implemented by browsers.

If it seems like it's not in use today, it's largely because JavaScript has momentum and the majority of web programmers don't yet know how to take advantage of wasm (or maybe don't think they need it).
