I’m not skilled at teaching, nor am I interested in doing it. It’s hard work. So, I’d rather outsource that to a professional.

However, I would like to have a better selection of schools. Particularly, I’d like schools geared toward the intelligent and creative. Public schools in the US focus too much on the worst students and the students with loud parents.

That said, I don’t believe schools do all that much anyway. Genetics are more important to academic achievement than the school environment.
Yeah but we happily painted our walls with it even just 20 years ago.
I've noticed this happening as well, and the explanation that I've stuck with is that the follow-up posts are posted by readers who recognize a similar article they've previously read that's deserving of a (re)post on HN.
Try "testing" as a sample query. I only see results about covid testing.

Would love to see dictionary like factual results instead of reflecting the controversial topics of the day based on what people are clicking on.

If in fact the idea is that a search engine needs to reflect the political opinions of its users, the incumbents are doing a very poor job.
This funny. After getting my son a VR headset for Christmas I’d say my cardio level has gone up dramatically thanks to beat saber and super hot.
I didn't read GP's comment as particular in any way to EVs. I'm not generally in the market for new cars (terrible value), but to the extent I consider them, I'd much rather buy a second-generation (or minimum, second model year) than a first-off car.
The Google competitors should just permaban all sites that contain affiliate links. That will instantly solve 90% of the problem.

You’re right - I’m anti-vaxx when it comes to mRNA vaccines and I often link to mainstream articles like this:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/analysis-thousands-more-usual-dyi...

Mainstream articles are biased with the spin of the situation but the facts are there. It goes over some causes of deaths - mostly heart/clotting issues, exactly what you’d expect from the vaxx. That’s why we call it the “clot-shot”

In England people who took the vaxx are twice as likely to die as those who don’t:

https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/vaccinated-english-adult...

If you want an opposing view of that data read this fact-check:

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-britai...

Notice how they don’t deny the statistic. They just say it’s taken “out of context” because covid deaths, and vaccines save lives. No matter how they spin it they can’t deny government data says vaccinated 18-59 are much more likely to die. That’s a fact, even though it’s marked as false by Reuters.
By "easily", you mean "lazily". It's one thing to assume the comment is irrational, it's another thing, and even lazier thing, to assume that the commenter hates on success or enjoys trolling.

It must be uncomfortable to see that our community was fooled. But blaming a whistleblower isn't the right coping strategy.
If you look at the global numbers not all countries had a similar drop in life expentency (ie. Denmark and New Zealand had no drop) but went through similar or more severe lockdown and vaccine policies.
first-class citizen vim splits in the browser. so annoying to have to scroll between the top part of a webpage and the bottom part of a webpage to mentally memcpy info into a form in the year of our lord 2022.

Some bylaw research is always in order because it can get sticky.

Where I happen to be, I can build what I like without a permit as long as it's under 100 sq ft, doesn't tie in to plumbing or electrical, isn't in lot setback areas, and it doesn't push the lot coverage over the limit but if I were to park a trailer on the property for any other reason than to store it, I'm in trouble.

Never assume. I knew someone in the situation of being on a road that was a zone boundary. Research revealed they couldn't do what they wanted just because the guy across the street was doing it too.

Another angle to look into: Have you considered just buying a travel trailer or pre-built shed to use as an office? More than once I have personally fallen into the trap of spending $100 in materials and $1000 of my time to avoid a $500 expense when my time would have been better spent getting back to work to pay for a bought solution.
Ive wanted to share this similar sentiment but I had no idea where! Google search results are terrible lately. I'm frustrated by it. Im not sure how I feel about his categories though.

I have mixed opinions on recipes. The recipes that do show up are generally not great and seem to be there because of seo. And seo is really ruining the recipes pages them selves (extra content, misleading cook times) At the same time I don't really expect google searches to be a curator of good recipes. There is to much taste involved I think. But reputable site like serious eats almost never show up in results unless I search for it.

Health is a big topic, but health has been full of snake oils salesmens forever too, so its not surprising. You should probably talk with a doctor in most cases anyway?

Going on google for anything related to illegal drug use is a pita, it just brings you too like addiction sites and other useless info ime.

I also don't think that people are creating websites anymore? Where is there supposed to be info for the search engine to crawl? All real user content is on reddit, instagram, twitter and youtube. Maybe medium sometimes. All of that is easier for people to set up but not really set up for search engine to include as a good result. Instagram and twitter are especially bad, black holes of information.

For better or for worse, I usually use google to search to search reddit, then i can at least get some better starting point and return back to google with better terms. I don't really like this because reddit is a bit of a echo chamber.

Ive also stopped trusting searches in fields Im not familiar with because I know how bad the results are in fields I am familiar with. But i don't really know where else to go.
Japan's habitable area according to [1] is about 125k sq Km. Fukushima official Exclusion Zone is about 370 sq km [2] - so that's 0.3% which is quite a significant loss in itself.

However given the events, there's a lot of migration out of the surrounding towns and villages outside the exclusion zone due to fear of radiation amd a very marked population decline in the region. Young families don't want to risk raising children in such an area - so the population effects are significantly amplified and towns will go desolate as the older folks who stay pass away.

Tiktok is the most accessed web resource in 2022, with only a small number of people using it. Worst of all, it is the teenagers that lose their lives there. A grandma playing candy crush - sad but not a societal problem. Teenagers that miss out on school, or young moms that don't anymore look at their kids, or young workers that can't focus - enormous societal problem.
SEO isn’t magic. Google decided to deprioritize Wikipedia for example which noticeably degraded results. Where major websites show up has nothing to do with SEO and simply relates to what they think is important.
Bitcoin is more successful mainly due to network effects and proven security, Bitcoin has withstood more attacks than any other cryptocurrency.

Well, I share your anxiety about it at least. It's my biggest concern about COVID as a young person. Even 2 points is too much given the asymmetric payoff at the margin.
I would advise against Googling anything medical. Outside of terrible SEO results, WebMD telling you you are going to die, the ads linger around forever.

I remember Googling something I had read about or saw on TV out of curiosity. I got ads about help for said disease I don't have for at least a month...
Many in demand vehicles have seen dealer markups. Sprinter vans - two different dealers in the Bay Area - markups for 4x4 and high roof.
It's funny, I've gone through a number of search engines. Webcrawler, altavista, lycos, yahoo, google and now duck duck go. DDG is the only one that hasn't been an abrupt switch. I would search DDG, then !g if I didn't find a tolerable result. But that's increasingly changed in the last few years, to the point that I have stopped using !g altogether.

More often I want !w, !gh, !mdn, !msdn, !v, !osm or similar.

It's that which makes DDG great: instead of being one search engine to fit all, it's a portal to services with specialized information. If you're using DDG's basic search to find specific information then you're using it wrong.
1on1 Questions
It doesn't have to be community based. The search engine could be paid and employ actual people to sift through the garbage and vet domains/brands/etc before they are added to the index.

The problem with Google is that their business model is to show you ads (either on their own website or third-party websites embedding Google ads/analytics) and not to provide you quality search results, therefore they have no incentive to combat even the most obvious SEO spam (see Pinterest & image search for an example).
Suppose a dozen Google competitors emerged that produced wonderful, but slightly different results in every category.

They all use different algorithms, so the SEO specialists can't game them all.

Making crappy sites would maybe no longer be worth it.
> Blocked reddit

Seems a rather bad idea to me because the most practically valuable search results you can get from Google usually are yielded when you add site:reddit.com to the search query.
The dealerships are more like a cartel because they're focused on keeping the cost of the product artificially inflated enough that they can scam their margin from inbetween the customer and the producer. Unions focus on keeping wages higher than they otherwise would be.

For example health insurance companies in the US fall into the same cartel category as automobile dealerships. They scam their margin / mark-up sitting - often with regulatory protection - inbetween the patient and the care provider (hospital etc) or producer (pharma company, device maker etc).
That, or they go searching for additional information and find related articles.

Another easy one to spot: there's sometimes clusters of articles from the same site if it's not a well-known one - people look around the site, find other good stuff and submit that too.
Lots of censorship going on however. There are sites that show the deleted comments and you can learn a lot about the agenda of reddit from those. It's interesting in its own right.
I use `site:reddit.com` instead of `inurl:...` or just reddit.

If one person died for every 8000 transactions on the Visa network it would be nothing short of global genocide.

I'm also very pro EV. Working in self-driving and hybrids/EVs driving around in prototype vehicles I often found the on-board GPS jammed. I just found it unnerving to drive around in a vehicle emitting such strong EMF even on-board devices go haywire. That made me think.
No. A lot of people in tech really like to live vicariously through other makers (woodworking, esp). It appeals to both the DIY crowd, which in a way is basically our entire career, and a real life problem of programmers not being able to work in peace, whether at home, or in a bullpen of peers.

Anchoring like that is a problem when it's used to dismiss something: "Eh, more people die from fentanyl, so X isn't so bad".

Which disregards that X may be a new source of increased deaths, not to mention that when X == COVID, the methods needed to mitigate the risk are antithetical to a mindset of "it's no big deal" because that mindset pushes back against taking even some minimal precuations.

So, anchoring can help people understand the magnitude of something, but at the same time convey a misunderstanding, or short-circuit reasoning as well.

This is precisely why it is a common sales tactic: Go into a jewelry store asking for a nice watch as a present, and you may be shown a $3k watch. Way over your budget, so when you ask to be shown a something else a $700 watch seems like a much better deal, even if it might still be a bit more than you wanted to spend. Maybe the third watch will be an ugly one for $400 to help convince you that you need to spend more, putting both an upper & lower bound on the purchase.

The article does not have an answer or provide any data.

It only talks about the uptick in deaths not attributed to covid.

Increasing the hash power makes the blockchain more secure by raising the amount of work that has gone into it and making it harder to falsify. Also the “work” not being used to process transactions isn’t “why” the transaction rate is 7 tps, the tps is kept lower to keep blocksizes lower and allow more participation from the community since smaller blockchain are more accessible for download (for total verification)

The simplest option is start the service and then tunnel it using Cloudflare Tunnel [0] with your own domain.

With this you won't have to expose port to public internet, and fiddle with your firewall and router.

Then you can use Cloudflare DDoS protection and other offerings.

Yes, and let's start with overflow behavior because it's much more relevant than the type domain.

This still doesn’t explain why overlapping rooflines are actually problematic, though. I have always wondered this myself, as I actually own a house with a detached garage where the previous owner and next door neighbor put an easement on file that allowed the next door neighbor (whose ground level is about 5 feet higher via a retaining wall) to build an outbuilding very close to the property line with the roofline hanging over my garage by about 6 inches. So far, the only practical downside is that my downspout ends up getting all the water from half of his roof, which means the problem is worse if I don’t keep it clear. Not a terribly big problem in my book, since I have to keep it clear anyway. What else am I missing?

(Note: there are other things that are suboptimal about my garage, namely that it was built 100 years ago right on the property line and when it was rebuilt sometime later, it was allowed to stay there despite normally having a 5 foot setback requirement. As a result, this concrete block structure itself actually serves as part of the retaining wall and has moisture seepage issues from the uphill side. I actually think having the neighbor’s outbuilding covering that patch of land and managing the rainwater via my downspout helps the matter, because the ground between them gets no rainfall at all.)

The only two opioids naturally found in the poppy that are also used in medicine are codeine and morphine. All others are semi-synthetic (chemical modifications of poppy alkaloids) or fully synthetic. Even most codeine is made by methylating morphine, since the poppy under-produces it relative to medical demand.

Seems like we need a search engine for trusted sites, something like MetaCrawler that searches more specialized search engines. There are some sites I trust for travel information. There are other sites I trust for reviews of consumer products and others for movies.

Their graphics say the tests are “84% wrong.” Do you really feel that’s an accurate description?
