It used to be built into Google. I was just telling someone that Google has been down hill since they removed it, and they were so young they didn't remember it being there.
"ublocklist" could easily get confused with "uBlock origin", a very widely used browser extension.

Even "Ublacklist" could give the misleading impression that it's somehow related to uBlock or uMatrix.

Hey, don't leave out the Uralic languages. Hungary and Finland would not be pleased.
Agree, we have an indoor/outdoor cat, he's fixed and usually has a bell collar on, and he still kills more than 26 birds and mice a year.
It's usually the exact opposite way round – distances between things in the US are usually larger, not smaller, than in other countries. You only need to look at a world atlas to see that's the case, with a few obvious exceptions. What in Europe would be seen as an extreme road trip across a whole country (because it would take a whole day) would seem quaintly short by US standards (because it could be done in just one day). Hearing it said the other way round sounds very odd to me (and I'm not from the States, as my user name suggests).
My favorite manager, who went on to co-found Zeta[1], told me once that ideas that can be thought of have already been executed to near-perfection by the thousands of entrepreneurs that came before me. That I'll have to (build -> sell -> pivot) x n to gain an insight that will help me create something uniquely useful.

In my specific case, this has held true.

Same. "Blame the customer"/"coddle the salesman" is a rather strange sentiment to encounter on Hacker News of all places.

I guess some founders here owe their careers to scummy sales tactics. Or are just fantasizing about getting rid of the pesky people who pay them money
I have a friend who works for an environmental firm in California. They are specialists in identifying 50-100 year climate impact on new commercial construction. Every single project they've been working on for the past decade assumes within the next century there will be extensive sea-level rise wiping out most shorefront properties. He told me about it so glibly I didn't believe him, and he followed it up with: "oh yeah, every construction firm knows the coast is fucked, its common knowledge."

I agree that it's shittier (from an ease-of-use perspective), but I don't agree that it's more crass. The usual objection to cash or cash-equivalent gifts is that they're impersonal and show that you don't know the recipient well enough to pick a gift they'd like, or care enough to expend the effort to find one.

A gift card (at least if it isn't something generic like Amazon or Starbucks) at least says "I wasn't sure what to get you, but I know you like X-type things, and store Y is all about X-type things, so here's a gift card for store Y". I think this sort of thing can work well for hobbies where a gift-giver might not be able to reasonably choose what to get. Like, for example, I wouldn't mind a gift card to a hobbyist electronics store like Adafruit, but, given the nature of the things I buy there, I would never expect any of my friends (or even my girlfriend) to know what I'd find useful from there without asking me for a specific thing to get for me, which would ruin any amount of surprise. But on receiving that gift card, I'd think it was a nice surprise, and very thoughtful that they remembered that time I was talking about how I bought an ESP32 dev board and was playing around with some electronics projects.

But yeah, if someone gave me an Amazon gift card, I would find that as thoughtless as cash (fortunately still easy to use, since I buy things from Amazon all the time, and I can easily just add the gift card to my account and then not worry about it anymore). And if someone gave me a Starbucks gift card, they clearly do not know me at all, as I don't drink coffee.

Again, totally agree that gift cards are worse than cash from a usability perspective, but I think they're less crass. You might be unhappy to receive a gift card, but there are many people who would fell warmer and fuzzier receiving a (thoughtfully-selected) gift card, rather than cash.

> And the principle of it is that the cash they could have given you is now earning the retailer interest?

As the article says, vanishingly few retailers make interest or investment returns off gift card money. Nearly all of them consider it working capital and use it to help run their businesses.

Either way, I find this to be a weird objection. A gift is about the giver and the receiver. If a third party makes interest off some unrelated side transaction, it's kinda petty to be worked up about it.
Kinda - not necessarily on/blocked by default, but a curated, maintained global list available to use, if that makes sense.
So Thunderbolt 2 included a DisplayPort signaling layer but (AFAIK; may be wrong) Thunderbolt 3 does not -- instead, the hardware must implement the USB-C Alternate Mode for DisplayPort (and in turn is also implementing the USB-C Alternate Mode for Thunderbolt; it's not USB, at least not in USB3).

Thunderbolt's main draw is being "PCIe on a wire".

I think OP, much like myself, is one for principles.

To me this says “we’re looking for additional revenue streams and have found a way to lock previously available functionality behind some XaaS where X is artificially paywalled”.

If this is the path they are going down then there’s no reason to suspect they will stop with that.

Sure, there are aftermarket options, but the issue (that I have, at least) is that the taste is now sour.

I was looking at a hybrid Rav4, but this makes me look elsewhere.

Imagine your garage door opener operating on this model: you have 5 free uses remaining this month, want some light? Simple IAP. What recurring value is Toyota providing by charging you per month for a fob to car signal transmission?
Unfortunately not yet — we have working stack rules for Python, but they use an older internal version of the graph DSL. We’re actively working on porting it to the open source tree-sitter-graph DSL and adding it to the public tree-sitter-python grammar repo. But it’s not there yet.

In some places, gift cards cannot legally expire. Other objections still apply, but fortunately not always that one, which I agree is gross.

>Most of the content around this technique on the web is not in Japanese

How would one know, except if they do read Japanese and searched their bibliography (including old tomes)?

Merely searching for the japanese version of the term on Google might not be the best way - the Japanese might just implicit use the technique without naming it and writing much about it, for example. Or might have different terms for the practice, and that's just one that caught on in the west as the catch-all term.

Plus it might not been a popular practice there for way over 50+ years (as they had been busy recovering from WWII and modernizing their industry), which is the same time span when westerners discovered it.

The free market approach is to tax carbon emissions. Capture the externality of carbon in the economic and pricing system, and you'll unleash innovation and competition to reduce that cost.

Possibly. I think you can get a pretty good idea if you'd like the original series just from watching the first few episodes.
Indiedevs.net – Join a growing community of game developers
Full disclosure this is my second submission of my site to HN. Idk if that is appropriate or not (the last thing I want is to spam or give the impression of spamming). Since my last submission, the community has grown, we've got a number of interesting devlogs already even though the site is exactly 1 month old, we have interesting discussions, a custom darkmode theme for some site identity and most importantly, we have a very friendly userbase so far. :) If you are a game developer, programmer, artist, composer, writer or a creative individual, take a look around the site and consider joining us. The hope is we grow over time and produce a vibrant community of like-minded people who help and encourage each other on our way. Hope to see you there!

This is my favorite list of learning tips: http://super-memory.com/articles/20rules.htm

It's more for memorization, but rule 1 applies. You can't learn something if you're not interested and the value of learning such a thing is negligible.

What I always do is associate it with a thing. It should be a conversation. You can also be reading things in the wrong order... sometimes you should try to be stuck on a different problem before approaching the problem with linear algebra and such. Learning linear algebra before meeting the problem is a terrible way to learn.

You can still learn with exercises to turn it into an instinct, similar to how kids learn ABCs and multiplication tables. But as you grow older, this becomes much less effective.
This might be the most boring thing ever written about writing. The English language is a linguistic miracle, a beautiful acrobatic freakshow--and this is what you do with it? If I wanted more of this prose, I would just read Wikipedia. There's no daring, irony, or personality in it. Like the website itself, it's austere to the point of sterility.

>The "improve writing" goal is because I found my writing annoyingly awkward and wanted to fix that. I frequently wrote sentences or paragraphs that seemed clunky to me, like when you misspell a word and it looks wrong no matter how you try re-spelling it.

That's because your writing is so pedantically subdued that it doesn't resemble the ways that humans actually communicate.

I feel the same about SO. I have only contributed a tiny bit, and usually avoid it when I’m trying to debug something. Like 10 years ago the answers were pretty good, but now it seems like the accepted answer is often outdated, and below the fold there will be another answer with comments saying “this ought to be the accepted answer.” It also has a lot of low effort crap that I think must be motivated by a desire to gain clout. Specific question about functional programming method in Python: here’s how you can do that with a for loop.

I’ve wondered for years why everyone raves about this website like it’s a cultural institution to us programmers. I thought it was just me that’s underwhelmed.
“How Drug Gangs Work” (UK narc on winner-take-all in drug gangs)
The only known pulsar duo sheds new light on general relativity and more
One of the great frustrations in these debates, is the tendency to criticize a messenger who sees a cynical system. Instead of blaming the system for being cynical. Sometimes the most Optimistic people are shut out of debates, because they won't assume the system is optimized for a noncynical purpose. My suspicion is that this ostracization is what grows the cynicism out of control.
You use your car every day too...
Ultra-agree, that a lot of cynicism- against from those in power & who need others to enlist in the message- is due. But I think there's a general level of mistrust, of wanting to pick easy/simple/dependable paths, of resisting good/bold/better, that's just a personal "pragmatism" which is really cynicism in disguise.

I don't think most engineering departments & product-development-organizations give anywhere near a fair shake to doing good, to trying for better. There's so many meetings called to discuss options, to try to suss out where to go, that revolve around mistrust, that are simply a hunt for security. And there's a good chance these hunts for security are right, that mediocrity would better serve us all. But theres ongoing & persistent resistance, un-understanding of better, that pervades, and I'd like to see a little more optimism, a little more shared idea of possibility about. I think there's a lot of possibility that we consign away, a lot of true organizational excellence (& personal glory along with it) that the easier/safer paths ignore.

I also think HN is a classic, key demonstration of cynicism. I feel like a lot of new ideas presented get slammed, that the critics have a field day. I'd love a broad asssessment of positive/negative valence of posts. My gut feeling is that the novel gets extremely hostile reception here. Someone combined mutable torrents with webtorrent[1], & there felt like such vast continuing cynicism, such "what are the use cases?", such tearing it down, such disbelief & resistance. This just feels like one of endless countless examples of cyncism & disbelief, such desire to disregard, to put the new, potential, positives into a box that can be safely disregarded. This to me is the poison we swallow.

For sure. 100%. Be wary of what people are selling. Be wary of the power-grabbing. But I think we ought try to wire ourselves to be positive if we can. We should look for the tell-tale signs, & try to promote & support the potentially good, the things that may have merit, to have optimism. While calling out the specific delusions & exploitionations that may be afoot.

It's a balancing. But we should try, try try try, to find optimism. Just not without disregarding reason.

Side note: "Matter" is Google's IoT platform. Careful with the trademarks there, folks.
Here the owners have had the car for three years. They are locked into this market, have no negotiating power, and cannot leave the contract (without a loss) because the price of the key fob subscription is going to be subtracted from the resale value of their car.

Legally, Toyota cars are now like timeshares: you "own" it, but usage fees may increase arbitrairly over time. It's probably legal, but it's a shitty move to charge the consumer the price the market will bear when the consumer has no negotiating power.

I wonder if it is even possible to add aftermarket remote start features.

Nah.

I'd push things like Spirited Away or Tokyo Godfathers first, as far as anime-movies go actually.

EoE is good for the Evangelion fans. But honestly, Tokyo Godfathers hit me way harder.

EoE probably doesn't even hit my top 5 list of anime movies.

#1: Spirited Away

#2: Tokyo Godfathers

#3: Girl who Leapt through Time

#4: Summer Wars

#5: "Voices of a Distant Star" for #5? Hmm, or maybe "Time of Eve" ?? A lot of things I wanna fit in here but not EoE yet.

Not even getting to the "classics" like Akira, Eden of the East, Ghost in a Shell or whatever. These above movies have some mainstream appeal but still manage to hit that thoughtful analysis and depth. I'd still put something like Ghost in a Shell or "Your Name" above EoE...

There are also 'kid anime movies' like Patema Inverted that really were excellent and deserve recognition.

EoE is niche and fine for Evangelion fans though. Absolutely beautiful, and some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen. But you gotta see some of the __good anime movies__ out there. They all stand above EoE IMO.
Hella difference between propaganda and mere bias, dude.

Yep! It was called “personal blocklist (by google)”.

I don’t think anyone was maintaining it. So when the SERP changed its layout, the extension broke and Google removed it :(
Most likely because extremely low number of people (by Google's definition) would use it and there are other things to prioritize.

For a feature to be interesting to just 1% of Google users, it would need to appeal to 35 million users and this is unlikely. Even if it did, features that touch 1% users rarely get to the top of queue (unless those 1% users are "whales").
Kindle and app stores are an interesting alternative. It's still advertising, but in very different ways. Kindle advertises stuff it's selling, app stores utilize microtransactions, right next to the ads.
My feeling is that by blacklisting like 100 sites you get 99% of the SEO spam.

In practice it should be a winning battle, since it takes time and money to spam site up in ranking and low effort to blacklist it.

What economists are on the side that GDP is a perfect measure that precisely captures the increase in well-being? I have never heard of one. If you look at the IMF website you will find a nuanced explanation of what GDP is and is not. For example, it states that

> It is also important to understand what GDP cannot tell us. GDP is not a measure of the overall standard of living or well-being of a country. Although changes in the output of goods and services per person (GDP per capita) are often used as a measure of whether the average citizen in a country is better or worse off, it does not capture things that may be deemed important to general well-being.

Tirades that when economists calculate GDP the human society is serving "abstractions" or the devil over the "real" and God is just fearmongering.

What's the point? Other countries have widely diverging monetary policies from the US, but they're undergoing the same inflation spikes in the same areas of the economy. If the money supply was the cause then we'd expect to see these diverge, and they're not.

On the other hand we've had months of prices yo-yoing across the economy, both rising and falling. If it was about the money supply then we would not see price decreases following many increases. (e.g. lumber costs a few months ago.)

We also having diverging demand for goods and services.* If it was just about the money supply, and not a demand imbalance then we'd see increases in both demand and cost for services, and those matching increases don't seem to be there.
