> she managed to become one of the most lauded chemists in the mid-twentieth century

> Not a single scientist in either the West or the East ever wondered why she never participated in scientific debates

These two statements don't go well together at all. She was never "lauded" anywhere realistically. She got praises like any third rate movie would get today, "fake reviews". All the praise was negotiated and countries like the UK and others just saw a great deal: they'd get a lot of good business in return for a cheap gesture. I remember Queen Elisabeth being "grilled" for inviting the couple to Buckingham and making public appearances together, in what we later found out was an exchange for some very lucrative military contracts. Turns out nobody is below a good arse-kissing for the right price, no matter how high they sit. Good deal nonetheless.

On the other hand nobody on any side of the continent, in academia or anywhere else, had any interest in pointing out the obvious. There was just nothing to gain from doing it, other than a few extra enemies and ruining a deal for your own country.

I doubt that is the reason. Kickstart ROMs are available for download, both legally from Cloanto as part of "Amiga Forever", and otherwise.
But isn't profit the point of any company? If you're going down a path that doesn't lead to profit, you'll fail whether Google follows you or not.
> 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.

Why would they do this? Google's customers are the advertisers, not the end-users. And no one is going to pay for a search engine, it's been tried and has failed.
The whole point of dark patterns is the users don’t accept them , but are misled by them. That is what dark patterns are.
Yes if section 230 was repealed then removing illegal content which they have been notified of would still be required. But doing active moderation for illegal content or otherwise would make them a publisher and so they couldn't engage in such behavior without risking liability. This is exactly why 230 was created, early internet services were being sued because they attempted to actively moderate their content.
My wife bought me a $300 coffee grinder for Christmas. As a coffee ...enthusiast?... I'm quite fond of it. Perfectly consistent grid, very quiet electric operation, small footprint. I could argue that $300 was too much for it, but I'm willing to pay a premium for good product. $1,650 would be utterly insane.
Same reason flat earthers are so irksome - because they cloak themselves in the language of science (physics and optics for flat earthers; signal theory and electrical engineering for audiophile quacks).
> I've heard from 3 different pilots from three different ME airlines

Oh really????? I find that hard to believe.

Anyway, I'll assume you aren't lying.

If you have conclusive evidence, why don't you do us all a favour and give it to the FAA and try to ensure those middle eastern airlines stay grounded or atleast out of American skies?

(If you aren't from America, do the above with the aviation authority in your country, and maybe FAA as well anyway)

If you're gonna say FAA is in the arabs' payroll and the whole system is rigged, then you're screwed regardless of whether the ME "local noobs" are bad.

> that suggests it's not the individuals, but the airline and it's processes that are at fault
No it does not necessarily.

If this kind of incident regularly happens, then yes the entire airline might be flawed. But at this point there is no evidence to believe so.

> the locals are untouchable, and get away with all sorts of bullshit
First up, why don't you ask your ME pilot friends the ratio of local and expat pilots in those airlines?

What makes you think the local pilots there are into "bullshit"?

Those middle eastern airlines aren't any worse than any other major airline from anywhere else. If you can prove otherwise, contact FAA.
> A lot of sites seem to have scraped StackOverflow and GitHub issues, put a crappy ad-loaded interface around them, and somehow out-rank the original SO/GitHub content.

Some even made slideshows of SO screen captures and put that on Youtube, with a fake video or spoken intro to make believe an actual content will be discussed... A number of shameless people would go any length to grab bits of money anywhere and anyhow, and I've hit those links a couple of times.

It's a subtle clue still, but you pick up on it more and more with use, especially after cursoring through/deleting past the ligatures enough. It eventually becomes second nature.

Of course, there's no reason to pick up those subtle clues/habits if you don't see a benefit to the ligatures in the first place. The benefits themselves are sometimes subtle, and I'm unlikely to convince you if you've already made up your mind on that. For what it is worth, I find that they improve readability (and per the Python maxim: code is read way more often than it is written), and they do catch subtle bugs sometimes. As one example, in Fira Code (and successors), the difference between the ligatures of == and === are quite noticeable and useful in JS programming. But yeah, mostly it's just for cleaner reading: math symbols and pretty arrows. If that doesn't appeal to you, it doesn't appeal to you.
I don’t doubt it is hard but I’m forced to sign into Google now pretty much, just let me rate results and ban domains again etc. You will solve the seo problem really quick and start giving me results I want.
SEEKING WORK | US/Arizona | REMOTE ONLY

I'm making 2022 the year I step back from generic B2B copywriting and commit to open source.

Open-source company/project with no branding or marketing experience & direction? Struggling to talk to your varied & audiences (free users, contributors, paid users) because of your open-core business model?

I can help by:

1. Designing a developer-first branding & marketing framework

2. Clarifying your open-source strategy to build trust through transparency

3. Writing new copy for your website, GitHub READMEs, email, and everything in-between to clarify who you are, what you're building, and who it's for

Lately, I've also been bridging into documentation and developer marketing for my favorite clients—I've managed 400+ page Docusaurus/MDX docs sites and done tons of technical IT/DevOps content in the past—because it's in such high demand right now.

For optical cables, is that a PCM-specific thing? Something like Dolby Digital over Optical has to be run through a decoder in a way that seems like "sample duration inconsistency" would either result in total failure to decode parts,or simply be not an issue.
That post reads like satire. What is that from?
Would be nice to have some reasoning given for why I51.4 should be included. Not a physician, but it appears to indicate a pre-existing cardiac condition, in which case it seems reasonable to exclude those cases on the grounds of not being able to establish that the vaccine was the likely cause.

Because if you otherwise like the candidate you can help them along and if you don't like them you can just watch them sweat, but then claim your interview process has some level of technical rigor.
Early B2B sales are definitely hell. I have seen many B2B startup failures up close, and many of them fail because they run out of usable leads, because they just can't convert them. The problem is that figuring out who is going to be a good salesman for your very small startup is far harder than finding early developers. Someone that has done a lot of business sales for a more successful company is using a different skillset, because they have a good brand behind them. Same when you hire from big consultancy: Executives aren't afraid that they are taking a gamble with McKinsey.

I've seen way too many cases where technical cofounders just believe that someone that can use the right buzzwords is as good as any other, and then end up with a defunct sales pipeline. Or you can end up with someone that is great at selling their skills and charisma to technical founders, or even VCs but what you need to convince said people is different than convincing, say, retail executives. The same guy that might be great at raising your seed round, or your series A, might not really be successful at convincing early customers, or knowing what you have to change in your product to be better for said sales. This can fail later too: I have seen companies with a series B, 20+ people in product design and sales, that might not get sales to their name in two years, and then there are major layoffs that don't cut a single salesman, because said sales team's top skill was selling their competence to the executive team.

So it's not that it's easy to be good at sales or product in an early startup, but that interviewing for that is really hard, and that by the time you know whether someone is good or not, your startup is probably in trouble. If this wasn't the case, we'd see far more success in B2B than we see.
About 7 days after the first mRNA shot, I got really bad chest pain. I went to see my doctor and my EKG was okay. It only got worse from there, and eventually I was sent to the hospital and diagnosed with pericarditis.

The pericarditis wasn't registered as "caused by the vaccine", since it took three weeks before I finally got a hospital appointment, and by then it was too late to prove. I'm 31 years old and relatively fit and I've never had any issues until 7 days after the vaccine. So when this wasn't attributed to the vaccine, here in Denmark, what percentage of issues will be attributed to the vaccine in a country with a greater population density, like India?

As a consequence of this, I find the "~23 in a million" get heart complications highly questionable.

Clicking a result is essentially an upvote.

Immediately returning to the results page is essentially a downvote.

You can't really crowdsource this stuff, because the problem of brigading and other forms of abuse is way too high. Just imagine what the crowdsourced results for "trump won" or "trump lost" would look like, or hydroxychloroquine, or ivermectin, or to go with some older cults of personality, Hitler or Ataturk.
A bit OT, but this is my current dilemma. My entire career has been with startups so I effectively value any equity at $0 (none have made an exit). That means all my assets are cash/stock, since I've rented my whole life.

Makes me nervous that I won't qualify for a low mortgage rate right as the Fed is likely to start raising interest rates again (further chilling my enthusiasm to buy).
> It's like the bad-old-days of ExpertsExchange, which somehow was never delisted by Google for its shady SEO tactics.

This is really what made me suspect that Google was teetering on the edge of the MBA death spiral: these problems run for years when they'd be easy to block, which suggests to me that whatever metric gets you a bonus / promoted doesn't include things like that which are long-term threats to their core business even if it's selling a lot of ads short-term.
neo.tax | Applying AI to automate business taxes | Remote in US (PST +/- 3 hours) or Mountain View, CA

Roles: Full-Stack Software Engineer, DevOps Engineer, ML + Data Engineer, Data Scientist

neo.tax is applying automation and machine learning to one of the most ancient problems in human history: tax. We're bringing business taxes into the 21st century.

Our first product simplifies the complex and difficult process of helping companies apply for the R&D Tax Credit, which puts hundreds of thousands of dollars into each company's pocket.

But this is only the start.

Our vision is to leverage AI to map the tax genome and help small businesses automate their taxes and optimize their entire financial strategy. In other words, what used to be available to the top 0.1% of companies is now available to all SMBs. In the future, neo.tax will become the essential tax software stack for small businesses.

Spam, yes, but Google has also made meaningful shifts that are clearly directed from the top-down. It's much harder now (imo) to get specific results, they've overall started looping SERPs into broad answers.

This is def a user-engagement strategy -- but it has cons as well.

Part of the complaints in the thread were spam related, other were something deeper
Legitimate question; if this is a real business model (and I believe it could be) then why the fuck does Yahoo.com look like a dead clickbait aggregator instead of, yknow, what it used to look like? i.e. FINANCE ___ [Stocks] [ etc] ENTERTAINMENT ___ [Movies] [TV]
Where's that site?
I don’t think it’s a good analogy. With the coffee grinders you can have objective physical measurements for the coffee particle size distribution after the grinding process. Sure, the taste improvement would hit diminishing returns as the grinder price increases, but it would still exist. You as a buyer have to decide for yourself at which point the price stops making sense based on your budget.

The audiophile hardware on the other hand is being sold based on the promises that defy an objective physical reality.
I'm not going to say solving spam programmatically is easy, but the gitmemory garbage site (for one example) has been around long enough that there's no excuse for not downranking or removing it. How hard could it possibly be for humans to spot these few sites and nuke em? I'm sure Google engineers see them all the time.
Not surprised because it’s clearly derivative of the sort of huge antenna trickery they have to use on the massive sigint satellites which tend to be Geostationary adjacent to either just let them loiter over a hemisphere, or conveniently drift in front or behind important geostationary assets of other countries in order to Hoover up stray RF signals with their massive dishes in order to perform as much analysis on it as possible since unless you broadcast 24/7 white noise mixed with encrypted traffic up and down at a constant power level, they are going to be able to work out … something… from the RF which will make it worth their while.

These are huge beasts with dishes of 100 meters in the previous generation of MAGNUM satellites and over 100 meters in the latest MENTOR satellites… of course these numbers are based on the usual educated rumour mill sources necessary with any spy satellite information that has yet to be declassified, and the entire SIGINT family of satellites going right back to almost the very first is as black as pitch, it’s code name only educated guesswork and a couple of rare leaks of surprisingly inconsequential information. But the dish sizes are one of the more consistent bits of information so it’s a fairly safe bet these lower bound numbers are accurate.
The problem with all of this is it would help us greatly, but it would be useless to the 99% that the internet is increasingly being designed for. Modern UI trends are becoming obsessed with removing as many options and features as possible so the dumbest humans bordering on smartest vegetables can still use the service.
And the only solution is lock our cars down and have no right to repair? And there is no question why something like this is happening within the EU? The union which is supposed to solve inequalities like this within its borders?
This was in response to mwseibel's thread, which had a big discussion yesterday:

Google no longer producing high quality search results in significant categories - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29772136 - Jan 2022 (1167 comments, spread over multiple pages - note the "X more comments" links at the bottom)

Telegram has this. In fact you can only reply to specific messages as threads don’t exist.
Legitimate sites could help a lot by adding machine-readable descriptions of their content, per the schema.org spec. The richness of these descriptions means that this is effectively a "hard", non-forgeable claim to being a worthwhile, non-spam source (quite unlike the old META tags that got abused to death pre-Google). Of course spam sites could simply lie in their schema.org tags, but the lies are easy to spot (with combined machine- and human-review) and then they just get banned. It makes it a lot harder (and hopefully infeasible) to SEO-spam by just copying random content.

Great communication skills, Startup experience, team leadership, passionate about programming, self starter, OK with freelance/consulting as well as full time work.
I'm friends with four female founders who would absolutely laugh at this stereotypical response. Women are fully capable of having strong backbones, high confidence, and efficient bullshit filters. Founding a company takes grit, from ANY gender, and I'm envious of the grit that founders I know bring.

That's not a problem. That's a massive opportunity. For women, and for people to step up.
You only need ~1/10000th of Google's revenue to be a financially successful startup. 1/1000th and you'll have a great business, and at 1/100th you'll be somewhere between a unicorn and a decacorn.
