That's a circular argument. The reason $PROTECTED_CLASS became a protected class is because people saw the unjustness of their treatment and agreed that they needed to be treated equally, backed up by the force of law. If you were placed in the year 1800, by your logic you'd be saying that $FUTURE_PROTECTED_CLASS doesn't need to be treated equally right now because they're not a protected class. Clearly, that's not valid. The unequal treatment is the problem; not being in a protected class is irrelevant to that.
That would be satisfying. But probably not something on which I'd want to invest a half-workday.

(Well, it mimics the old screensavers, anyway.)
Another big factor in what I do is prioritizing the opinions of certain indieweb sites when ranking domains, basically a segment of the graph consisting of humans with a particular dislike for seo spam. This makes ranking manipulation much less effective.
All of the amateur search quality experts forget to mention the regulatory environment. Obviously, Google could nuke Pinterest from orbit, dramatically improving image search results. Clearly, Google could effectively take down Statista, technically. But various Eurocracies have shown an extreme willingness to take the side of Yelp, Pinterest, and whatever other spam/scam mills are able to form a shadow alliance with Microsoft's astroturf campaigns like "fairsearch" and whatever.

That's not strictly true, given that reviewers are often sent pre-release versions of things in order to do that work before release day.

The running joke is a joke indeed, we have accountability and traceability in our marvelous high-tax socialist haven, if you pay someone a significant amount it's VAT has to be tracked, parts can't just magically appear out of thin air, well maybe every now and then, but not systematically.

Edit: Especially airbags, they require special certifications to be installed and managed in Sweden, second hand airbags is NOT a thing here. Though other parts very well might be.

Jerry Saltz wrote 33 rules on How to Become an Artist

https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/jerry-saltz-how-to-be-an-art...
Could this issue be related to Gmail's spam filtering? For approximately 2 years now it's been downright porous, I'm getting on average 1 obvious spam message in my inbox that is something like:

c0nGrats-You_HaVe_Won_ThE_Pr1ze!

..Or some silly variation of this that takes literally 0.1 ms for a human to discern that it's spam. Yet something happened to Gmail's spam algorithm in the last couple years that has been consistently letting these through. To be fair, it does catch most spam but it's only batting something like 75% and the spam it does catch is often times much less obvious to human eyes than the stuff it lets through.
Yes! I have long thought that GPT type of model are huge because they are forced to encode a lot of raw knowledge, giving them the ability to search for knowledge in a database solves that problem which should help making them smaller while scaling to larger datasets.

The cherry on top is that you could get not only information from the model but also the sources it used to make up its mind!
At max $855/wk pre tax.
Well at this point i think it’s good work but now that the change is identified as good and fairly concrete - it’s still likely a benefit to break it up into smaller more reviewable chunks to take in over time. Maybe by major subsystem so their expert maintainers can take closer looks at it.
The problem isn't that Google doesn't employ these people or invest in their activities.

It's that Google has destroyed their own search results in order to continue to expand their revenue opportunities.

If Google:

- Enabled downvoting on results, like YT videos. (Has its own spam problems, just like YT)

- Allowed you to block certain domains from your search results, like YT videos. (If they added some kind of "coordinated network detection" and down-ranked domains coordinating with ones you've blocked, that'd be pretty cool).

- Allowed you to create your own custom search engines, like "Programmable Search Engine".

That would be incredibly valuable. They already have most of the tech. They could even create a subscription service around custom search engines if they really wanted. Plenty of people would find something like that incredibly valuable.

Anyhow, buried in there is your startup idea. Remember: your startup doesn't have to generate the same revenue or profit as the incumbent on day one to be successful.
I've studied art for many years and work as an artist/artistic researcher right now. At the same time, every single one of the people I've been studying art with chose a different path, a different view on how to do art. Every single one of them.

You mention "launching", getting recognition, being invited to shows. This is the social/status part of things and is not specific to art. Basically, you have to start. Researchers who get grants get even more grants, artists who do shows get invited to shows. You don't have to do shows or get recognition, however, to be an artist. There is no institution that gives you a badge with "artist" on it.

What is helpful, however, is to find like-minded people. You get inspired by seeing other people work on similar topics. You get the best feedback from those engrossed in the same quest. This is what art schools are good for, and this will be the hard part if you are starting on your own.

"I'm in an abusive relationship, what should I do?"

This type of question defies easy answers on a forum. Anyone with an ounce of self respect and marketability would find a new job in this situation.

The real pertinent part of the question is in the "other obligations" that are keeping the poster from leaving. What are they? Are they really preventing the poster from switching jobs? Is the poster underestimating the difficulty in finding something else?
From what I understand, this was mostly done manually.

Would it have been possible to represent dependencies as a graph to obtain an optimal result?
Is that...essentially a Proof-of-Work system...

Ask HN: What should a co-founder look for when hiring our first salesperson?
I am CEO and co-founder of an profitable Australian startup. We've grown 100% organically without outside investment, which has positives (founders still have 100% control/ownership) and negatives (lack of investment has meant slow-ish growth and limited new ideas/support). Because of this we have generally targeted safe recurring revenue from the public sector.

We've done relatively well putting ourselves into our market and have won out over some bigger incumbents, but sales requires a certain outgoing mindset that no-one in our team currently possesses.

We're at a point where we have enough technical and product staff to easily support 20-50 times more clients and have a full pipeline and excess captial to invest in finally building a proper sales team to meet our potential.

The question I'm stuck with is how to we find, interview, hire and retain our first sales/business development staff.

How have other technical founders interviewed for sales, and what are the right kinds of questions to ask? Is salary + commission enough, or should we expect to start having to give away equity as well? Where is the right place to advertise for sales, and are there any good resources to pull from?
Looks nice! Good luck.

Were in a similar space, coming out with a SaaS in a few weeks.
Users are not prioritized, obscene wealth is (usually for founders, and less so for employees). What do investors want: warm fuzzies or cold, hard cash? Follow the incentives.

I never felt falling in love with a phone — until I saw the BB Z10. I wanted so badly to have one.

(Un)fortunately for me, it took the phone many months to be available where I live. By then, the writing was on the wall and it was clear the phone and the OS won't last for long.

Since then, I owned so many phones. Some of them were great. But I never again felt emotionally involved with a phone.

Goodbye, my lover!

Is your ISP a publisher then? They charge for access to the content which is on the internet and provide it to you. So should they be scanning every packet to ensure it doesn't contain any defamatory content?
We would stay ahead of the curve on maintenance, if the kernel and other software was easier to live-patch and it was the default & very stable in pretty much all relevant distributions. No more clusters just for the sake of being able to update during business hours.

Also, as a Clojure dev, you cannot recompile the running kernel while using it at the same time using something akin to REPL driven development. That would be the other side of the live-patch productivity boost in so many areas.

If I am not mistaken, the CPU and other devices don't care, if everything is compiled ahead of time and a few functions tacked on later, as they are changed by e.g. patches, or if the kernel is completely recompiled.
Obviously, I am simplifying a lot but it is a very serious question. We really should strive to build maintainable systems that don't have to reboot just to apply updates.
> On a philosophical level, I think the flawed premise you’re presenting here is that inflation is a problem that needs to be solved. Inflation is unpopular because it’s effectively a tax on unproductive wealth. Inflation incentivizes investment because idle wealth will lose it’s value at the rate of inflation.

Inflation is a tax on those without assets or the available capital to invest in assets. It's a form of wealth transfer to those with assets. Increasing economic inequality is not good for anyone, and some would say the US is already close to a breaking point.

Do you mean .pch? I think it works quite well generally, but for the kernel it might be too fragile as it is not so widely used.
How about KYC/AML (if you like cryptocurrencies)? And why it became so complicated to register an e-mail or account in messengers account or web-page in social networks without phone number? I have lost few really great friends because I've lost an access to my phone (literally burned in fire with a sim-card) bonded to the telegram account, for example. Also, I am really suffer for neediness to have a smartphone for daily needs like ordering a taxi instead of just to phone and to pay cash. These examples are just from top of my head, there are plenty more.
The search results markedly worsened in the last 5 years. Why could they keep up with SEO spam until 5 years ago, and now they can't? Their revenue has been growing dramatically, so they could proportionally increase the allocation. It's probably because the focus of their HR/changing workforce is now elsewhere: maybe fighting "disinformation": both COVID and political. Those efforts were non-existent 5 years ago.
> Dude people buy jets and Teslas as a business expense. super common. […] arguing (and using) something as a business expense or an investment is not fraudulent.

This is just bad advice for two reasons: (1) Teslas and jets are terrible investments for someone who’s less than filthy rich. (2) Tax fruad is when you claim business expenses and then use items for personal activity. It’s only not fraud if the things you buy are used exclusively for business reasons. If you start buying lavish things and use them for yourself, it is fraud and you are subject to a Tax audit that could land you fines or jail time. Happens all the time. You shouldn’t listen to stories of people gaming the system and getting away with it.
I agree it’s a hard problem. I don’t agree it’s “really really good”. I regularly encounter obviously scammy websites. With Google’s js execution capabilities I’d assume they can detect that. I’m talking about the VPN install pop ups and so on. Right now there’s a whole bunch of GitHub.Io hosted sites that’s doing that. It’s not even porn. It’s home decoration stuff.
This is largely because micro-blogging means less content, and less content means you could write five 300-word blog posts instead of one 1,500-word post.

I've done blogging for the last 10+ years, and many of those I spent as a freelancer working with startups/brands/editorials. Everyone is after "word count" and I absolutely hate it.

Whenever I work on articles for my own blog, I just don't consider word-count at all. I think if your content is great and informative, then readership will be natural.

> I ended up killing that idea a few months in because I missed some of the key red flags a business focused person likely would have caught.

Could you give a few examples of such flags? I'm pretty curious as someone hoping to be a technical solo-founder myself. Do you think that some management training would have caught some/most of these?
My experience has been that there are plenty of both good and bad ‘no name’ products to be found on Amazon. The bad ones I return and get a 100% refund through Amazon.

None of the stuff I buy is counterfeit, although plenty probably have designs copied from other products. Sometimes I’ve wondered whether I should buy that tool or pack of LED light bulbs from the local hardware store instead, but either way I’m buying products made in China and sold by a big American corporation.

I don’t know where this wormhole goes, although there has been some good discussion here covering multiple aspects and viewpoints.

CORS is just a verification that the cross domain request is to a trusted domain. Your own domain is assumed to be trusted, by default
Social media and trial and error. I knew a bit, and asked some friends for advice. I used that to find people who said stuff I thought made sense on Quora, Tik Tok, and Instagram (ie they agreed with what I knew to be true and false, so I could assume the other stuff they said was likely to be true as well). I tried what they said, found what worked, and went all in when I saw results.

Importantly, this was bottom up: it was largely recommendation engines suggesting people I then filtered through for what I wanted (running, bodybuilding) vs didn’t (traditional weight loss). I couldn’t specify what I wanted, or it would be garbage SEO spam.
> “130$” GAS FEES!
> NFTs are swapped frequently to generate fake demand.

Why don't wash trades cause the scammer to rack up thousands of dollars in gas fees before they sell it?
It's both, I think. If the goal is to find high quality items survivor bias can definitely interfere with the results. The items must survive long enough to count as something you can use "for life" and it's possible, even likely, that they only survived due to low use or extraordinary care.

> Enabled downvoting on results, like YT videos. (Has its own spam problems, just like YT)

Are there any search engines that do this? It's a great, simple idea.
I'd love to do a torque mod on a modern Honda EPS, but there's simply no easy way for a "normal" person do it. The amount of time and effort is extreme with no background knowledge of the problem. (Yes, I understand there's liability, etc.).

It's completely taboo in openpilot discussions (e.g., the Discord channel), so I'm curious if there's an alternative community open to talking about it (distributing pre-patched or providing a patcher).

For Honda cars at least, openpilot is absolutely hindered by the low torque allowed by the stock firmware.
Ask HN: What if AI is an existential threat to Google?
Gpt-3 type bots have read the entire internet and will be able to answer many/most queries more efficiently and directly than Google (maybe with a little bit of pre programmed prompting), and Google won't have a monopoly on them. Even assuming Google retains a good bit of market share, it’s an open question to what extent they’ll be able to get the same amount of ad revenue, it seems more likely that search will be commoditized (commoditize your complement). Thoughts?

The photo quality on the iPhone will be of objectively higher quality due to the larger, superior lenses. There's simply more light information to work with.
Or because they have no other choice. It's mind-boggling that the very people responsible for creating this landscape have the audacity to throw up their hands and try to absolve themselves of responsibility for the things they built by saying "idk the users just love being screwed".
