Not sure why anyone would think an answer to such a question lies here. There are teams of PhDs working on search inside Google with high levels of secrecy. We are to somehow deduce based on just the output of some searches what quantitative effects those works have? I'm not even sure Google itself can answer that question.
It's not enough to say they are allowed, but determining what constitutes sabotage or impeding this right when voting to unionize with a company, is the issue the USLB addressed.

How do you ensure that your unionizing vote (which includes details of how the union will operate, since they each have their own charter), is fair? You have to get the parent company involved, otherwise you might be disenfranchising eligible voters/members and/or involving outside parties.

This is where it gets ugly because the company (usually) has a vested interest in observing that the vote fails.

It's not "code". Saying "that idea is stupid" is different from saying "you are stupid". Nobody has to be "in on" anything.

However, unless one is used to this frank style of communication, I'm sure it can be off-putting.

All I'm saying is that you were framing your experience as universal truth, instead of as just your experience. And it can't be universal, because it doesn't line up with my experience at all.

Parts of the original comment also dipped into reinforcing stereotypes about "bootcampers" that - again - don't hold up in my experience, and could be discouraging to new/potential devs here.
How do they pay for salaries, operating expenses, building rent, vehicle purchases, electricity, marketing, etc?

They take a percentage of their income and use it to cover these expenses. Right?

Well, this is semantics. A conventional business does exactly the same thing. They take a percentage of their income and use it to cover the cost of doing business.

Laws for non-profits generally allow for such things. Which makes sense, because they would not be able to survive without being able to slice off some "profit" to stay alive and grow.

If you've ever seen the massive church campuses in Texas you'd get a sense of the idea that this is, in fact, profit.

The range a typical nonprofit spends on administrative or operating expenses is wide. I would say that 40% isn't rare, with 25% being fairly common. This tracks with the profit margin of small to medium for-profit businesses. In fact, there are millions of for profit businesses that do not enjoy such margins.

The key legal distinction (at least in the US) seems to be that nonprofits cannot exist for the benefit of shareholders (no distributions). Other than that, they can easily spend 40% of what comes in on operations, grow cash in the bank and more.
It seems to me that a federated system like PeerTube would give you more control over which admins you are beholden since you can choose where to publish. You could even setup your own host if you don't trust any of them

Also, can't you post your videos to other platforms and/or keep your own backups? If the host deletes your video, can't you just republish it on a different one?
>Are there many examples of this extortion?

Uber is definitely such an example - a lot of taxi companies disappeared because they couldn't compete with the scale of Uber with its subsidised prices.

Now Uber have significantly increased their prices there are a lot fewer alternatives to turn to.
I know this is a probably overtly provocative title, but still...

This makes the assumption:

- That everyone navigate a SaaS website in a particular way

- That no-one uses text-to-speech accessibility software when navigating websites

- That everyone wants a picture/gif to know more about a feature

Basically, a quite inconsiderate approach to UX design.

I remember double quotes being infinitely more useful 10 years ago than they are today and much more strict (i.e. good for technical searches). You could put actual code syntax into double quotes and it would return meaningful results containing that syntax. Nowadays there is no way I'm aware of to force google to respect every single character within double quotes — it's much more fuzzy now and frequently characters like `!;.,/\|{}[]` are ignored/dropped from inside quotes and the quality of (technical) results suffers. It's the 80/20 optimization problem discussed elsewhere in this thread...

I love Marginalia, it's such a great project. You get really weird, but interesting results. Honestly I don't use it as much as I'd like, but it's still fun to go down a rabbit hole and read actual content.

I didn't feel up to pulling data from each year in between, but I think the staff picks from these two years is interesting enough to observe. Most interesting points for me: "Identity & Culture" in 2021 is up nearly 30 points compared to 2013; "Science!" is down by more than half.
Sorry for the confusion with the UK logos. Unfortunately we’re not operating in the UK yet but are definitely looking into it.
When I searched it "warmest winter coats", I get:

first result is a list from a blog by some "Emergency prep guy" it basically lists 27 coats with information.

Second result is RT online with black Friday recommendations

Third is oprah daily with recommendations and shop links

So, reddit is also, as you said, full of false information + astroturfing as well. Besides not everyone is interested in diving into reddit rabbithole to find information on warm coats.

What do we want google to do? It tries to blend whatever is available, I don't think google got worse on this particularly, but it is probably a hopeless pursuit considering the status of the web. As for forums, adding "forum" at the end sees to work, but I agree it would be nice to have the option in the toolbox.
>Anything academic, search on specific websites or Google Scholar. Anything technical/coding, search on StackOverflow. Anything cultural/commercial you want a peer answer, instead of a salesman answer, search on Reddit. Try to join like-minded communities where you can ask expert questions, and research new things in your field

This is much more like what Ye Olde Webbe was like. Sites competed to build communities that were repositories of information. Things like Reddit tried to build a generic silo so that they could silo information there, which I think is a bad thing long-term.

The biggest problem, as I see it, is sites just give up on doing their own search. Not surprising, as search is a hard problem, but it plays merry hell with the democratization of the Internet to foist the problem off onto Big Corporation Inc. to do the heavy lifting.

A related problem is that many sites simply don't have what could be called a "webmaster" anymore. Everything is contracted out, or part of a subscription service, or otherwise disconnected from the owner of the site having full control. If you're a small business that sells locally produced products, you're never going to appear in Google or Amazon searches, even if you have an Amazon store. You can't afford a full-time webmaster just for your site, and all of the various platforms, like Wordpress/Shopify/etc, deal in such volume that these small businesses will be largely ignored.

The ISV model for products like AutoCAD is possibly a good route. A team of well-versed engineers and designers can build things, but you need a direct customer representative to get at the juicy meat of what the end-user needs. Apply this sort of model to search, and you can aggregate over larger swathes of customers.

Hey Solid's reactive system uses Signals which are different than streams but work in similar use cases. Streams are slightly more oriented to transformation than synchronization. Most stream libraries could be used with Solid with a bit of an adapter on the end to connect to the templates as they are a good tool for managing global state.

All that being said. If you are happy with Mithril stick with it. It sounds like it's done everything you needed. I have a lot of respect for it's minimalist approach and its author is one of the most insightful and helpful people I've come across since getting into JavaScript frameworks.

If you are interested in trying something different. Check out our tutorials on the site and see how you feel about it. It is a little bit different type of framework.
I do use it on shift cables and derailleur mechanisms. Mostly because I haven't figured out anything that is a better solution.
There are many comments along the lines of "curated search, yes, please, so much".

Right now search is "free" (user is the product). How much would you be willing to pay for a non-ad-driven, curated search site?
If they believed that:

> Proposed that the United States and Soviet Union build a gigantic dam across the Bering Strait and use nuclear power–driven propeller pumps to push the warm Pacific current into the Atlantic by way of the Arctic Sea. Arctic ice would melt, and the Siberian and North American frozen areas would become temperate and productive.

was a sound idea, then why are we being so confident about current ideas that are being forced into adoption worldwide?

> Employees are free to form unions under the freedom of association, but employers are likewise free to fire those employees.

It's illegal in the US to fire an employee chiefly for attempting to unionize their workplace. That can be difficult to prove, but it's one of the explicit protections provided by the NLRA and, when proven, is usually sufficient grounds for unconditional reinstatement[1].

So, to be clear: labor rights in the US are more than just "free association" rights. You have an exceptional right, under federal labor law, to expend time and space within your workplace with the goal of unionizing. It is illegal for your employer to retaliate against your organization under the guise of either "free association" on their behalf or at-will employment.

> Does anyone have any actual statistics or quantitative data on the quality of Google search results?

Google has. They use this data expertly to improve search. Common sense and technological advancement tells us that, quantitatively, Google search has become better year over year, for all their relevant metrics/cost functions.

And likely, exactly because it has become better for all its users in aggregate, it has to become a bit worse for a certain group of power users. There, we can only rely on anecdotes and personal experience, but these tell us it actually has gotten worse.

Similarly, the web can become both worse and better. The really useful articles today are better researched, multi-modal, solid web of links, internet-first. Spam has also evolved. And "top 10 ways to do X"-McContent outranks better articles, because that is what the majority of Google users wants to see and clicks on. They truly have a better experience, while others' experiences suffer. It depends on what you measure.
Only 16% voted for it the first time. Even if I consider Amazon meddling, I'm guessing there won't be enough support for it this time either. Probably just people weighing the dues versus what a union could potentially do for them. It's hard to convince someone making $15/hour that their $500/year will pan out. I personally think it would, but selling that idea is another thing.
I think Google just seems to be trying their best against an army of SEO/content marketing parasites constantly trying to game their algorithm, look up a recipe website for an example of what the internet will look like if those guys win.
Employees there were getting advertisements in both directions though, right?
Yes. It’s broken. I’d pay $20/month for search that worked at least as well as Google used to back in the day.
Lean UXmas 2021
On the other hand, I think one protection against this particular scenario are the people who make their money using their likeness. Like, what if in that particular situation, Taylor Swift's dad (pick any celebrity) was the one browsing the internet. He just got served an advertisement with not just his daughter's face on it, but an ad with Taylor Swift's unlicensed likeness, where that likeness in most other situations is worth many millions of dollars.

For some tiny group that's below-board anyway with hacking people's social media accounts, I guess maybe there's not much you could do. But for any social media site or other platform, I imagine that IP lawyers trying to protect their client's likeness would descend in packs, which is a probably a genuine deterrent to a group considering implementing something like this.
Until the spammers figure that one out. It would be nice if google had a keyword for this.
Yes, in the GIF format you can update just a window inside the image rather than the whole image for each frame.
There are also control blocks that specify that a particular colour value is to be treated as transparent (within the logical image) and that the background image should be restored after the window is drawn.

So for example a moving pointer can be very efficient if the encoder is able to take advantage of all these features.

A better encoder can take the images from the article down by a lot (I got 80% reduction with minimal reduction in quality using https://compress-or-die.com).
I like that Hugo ships in a single binary and has a security model around themes.

But I found Hugo’s template language to have the most unusual/unintuitive template language of any SSG I tried.

In the end, it comes down to personal preference:

Are you going to build your own templates or use a canned theme? If DIY, make sure you like the template language, otherwise make sure you can find a theme you like. This ruled out Hugo for me because I didn’t like the template language.

Do you think you’ll need to write code to perfect your workflow? If so, use one in a language you’re familiar with. Otherwise, just make sure you can tolerate the install/setup process. This ruled out Jekyll/Pelican for me.

If you’re using an SSG with a plug-in architecture, what’s the security model and are you comfortable with it? Security concerns around huge dependency trees pushed me away from Metalsmith.
I came across Limor's Minty MP3 player when I was young, broke, and looking for an open alternative to an ipod. It was back before Adafruit existed as a web store. Minty was just an open PCB design hosted on a single page with a parts list and a link to a forum where people would help each other source parts and assemble the thing.

I have very fond memories of this because it changed the trajectory of my life. It showed me how powerful a tool the internet could be for organizing people around ideas, many of which sought to improve people's lives through free and open technology.

The other thing this experience did was to make me feel safe tinkering with hardware and electronic circuits. Consumer devices had felt like mystical black boxes that could never be understood, much less re-created by me. After Minty, I was empowered to take things apart and learn how they worked. I grew an appetite for technical knowledge that hasn't slowed down to this day.

EDIT: Found a capture. It's slightly different than I remember it but it's a nice little snapshot of Adafruit's origin story.

Not only that, most advertisers don't have control over their target's income and healthcare. When someone in control of your life like that tells you they really really don't want you to do something, a lot of people tend to listen.
My understanding is that this is what Rapsberry Pi Trading Ltd does.
It can be solved without centralized server: every content site, page, or paper, will publish Bloom filter for their content discoverable via sitemap, to which you subscribe via RSS/Atom. When you need to search, you will make hashes for words in your query, then will check each Bloom filter for potential matches. When potential match is found, full page source can be downloaded and checked more carefully for ranking.
It's not about "enjoyment". It's about documenting history in a very real and normal way. These are the photos that future historians will study. Would you rather them have a huge black hole because people decided "my privacy rights when I'm in public are more important than everything else", which I honestly see to be a more entitled viewpoint.
I’m interested to hear what you mean by “vector processor”. What does that imply to the lay person, and how is it different enough to be confusing when applied to GPUs? What does the term imply to you in terms of architecture?
> If I am Facebook I pull out of the UK or at least threaten to do so

That wouldn’t do anything, legally speaking. The acquisition was under British jurisdiction when it happened. This is the U.K., not El Salvador. Its system is heavily integrated with America’s. If Facebook blew off the CMA, it could find relief in U.S. courts. Given how unpopular Facebook is, State would be unlikely to intervene on its behalf.
My thoughts exactly, until we have actual dat but not "feelings" this whole argument is moot.

Whereas Canada's decision on this topic is almost the exact opposite, using almost the same logic. "Fascinating".

>In Canadian labour law, the Rand formula (also referred to as automatic check-off and compulsory checkoff)[1] is a workplace compromise arising from jurisprudence struck between organized labour (trade unions) and employers that guarantees employers industrial stability by requiring all workers affected by a collective agreement to pay dues to the union by mandatory deduction in exchange for the union agreement to "work now, grieve later." Historically, in some workplaces, some workers refused to pay dues to the union even after benefiting from wage and benefit improvements negotiated by the union representatives, resulting in friction and violence as they were seen as 'free-loaders;' at the same time, absence of a peaceful grievance settlement mechanism created industrial instability as union members often walked off the job. The compromise was designed to ensure that no employee will opt out of the union simply to avoid dues yet reap the benefits of collective bargaining, such as higher wages or health insurance.
