I don't understand people. I don't understand why anyone would ask this question.

Would this equally naive question get upvoted on HN?

As a Romanian having lived under the Ceausescus, I can assure everybody here that she was borderline illiterate, and everybody knew that, she didn't fool anybody.
We still need a search engine that actually blacklists everything serving ads. Google beat altavista, now we need to beat google.

I mean no mincing about- recipe sites that are ads are blocked. Results with pixel tracker etc are blocked. Hell, results that are paywalled are blocked because they're useless.

You should see how much money people in the car enthusiast community spend on "pointless" stuff. What is it about audiophiles in particular that attracts so much ridicule? It's their money, what would you rather they spent it on?

* My only explanation is that they're overnourished on the Standard American Diet. Imagine how much less waste would have to be pumped out of airplanes.*

A lot of folks poop on a schedule: Making sure you don't poop on the plane might very well involve adjusting food for a few days before a flight, depending on how often you poop. Some folks poop multiple times a day, some folks poop a few times a week. Some women poop more during their monthly cycle, too - which, by the way, does not happen at the same time every month nor do you always have notice.

You'd be able to eat not too long before the flight, though, if you are healthy simply because most folks don't process food too terribly fast (but the timing varies). Adjusting what you eat for days just isn't worth it, and not everyone can do this.

Also, not everyone on the flight is going to be American, but the chances are higher if you are taking in-country flights in the US. I personally don't encounter many Americans on flights - I'm often the only one. But then again, I don't live in the US either.
Gloria Steinem and Sandra Day O'Connor couldn't have their enemies arrested, much less assassinated. Gandhi, Meir, Ceausescu, and sometimes Thatcher could and did. Not sure about Marcos.
For these reasons, I recommend cats for those who can't deal with a dog's needs. Cats give no less love than a dog, and much easier to maintain and keep happy.

Cats aren't perfect for someone who's not home for a long portion of the day, or who likes going out too much, though I Assume someone with depression doesn't go out much to begin with.
It most likely has no impact, just like most (if not all) equipment targeting audiophiles.
Looks over at an old copy of Ringworld on the shelf and wonders what kind of imaging one could do of neighboring star systems if you put mirrors around the edge of the ring.
People get triggered by unsubstantiated bullshit claims.

To frame the modern world in terms of "colonizers" is misleading bullshit.

As for wildlife, what do you want, the right to drive your wildlife to extinction, too? Really? And you would prefer if no tourists come to Africa? Are you sure those are good ideas?

Who is forcing you to tolerate tourists to see African wildlife? Will the "colonizers" come with tanks and airplanes to force the "colonized" to open up their parks for tourists, if people in Africa should decide to shut them down?

In reality, with the lost income from tourism, people would probably resort to eating the wildlife until it is gone, like in other parts of the world. And then you'd be left with nothing.
> People on hacker news are extremely naive at career management. This is all the worst advice I have ever seen in my life.

My friend, the same should be said about your comments.

> Some of the happiest moments in my career came from when I was the only one doing the work. Those moments often ended when peers joined, took over parts of the work then started competing with me.

You are likely an introvert, which in and of itself is not wrong. What is wrong is assuming everyone wants to be an introvert like you.

Humans are highly social animals. When a person gets laid off, they experience the same hormonal and emotional response as losing a loved one or losing a limb. This is bc being laid off form your company is the equivalent of being banished from your tribe, and that means certain death from prehistoric times. Obviously, almost no one dies form being laid off, but that biological programming is still in the human psyche. Point being - the relationship with your tribe (the team you work with) is important.

> I have learned that peers are mostly competition.

You need to change your mindset, my friend. Have you not had the experience of a coworker helping you out when you really needed it? Have you never relied on a community or a tribe?
Creating a "trustless" search crawler, where anybody can participate, and then applying an algorithm to determine trust or value feels like it'd be a never-ending arms race - that'd require AI and extensive/expensive resources that is likely better invested in developing real trust networks and curation; curators are corruptible and regulatory capture of policy is possible if the organization is infiltrated or poorly overseen.

Carte blanche opening your system up to anyone to inject data seems like the wrong foot to start off on, whereas my curating a moderator, someone I personally know and feel good about, trust to whatever level, and hiring them - ideally making sure they're someone you respect and you're someone they respect, pay them well, and at scale will be able to pay for itself; this did just bring to mind however big pharma and pharmaceutical trials structure and how that system can be/is/has been captured - and so perhaps the pressures when dealing with multi-billion dollar market categories will always lead to shenanigans if ever trying to centralize too much, not allowing for de-risking and broader resource distribution via sales/profits to more parties than the "5-star" rated products.

In a thread on HN, I think it was yesterday, a few people posted about review sites where some product reviews are free - but others you had to pay for. A system to facilitate such organizations could allow a highly competitive environment, where organizations develop/build a brand - build trust for their brand as being competent and thorough - and so then over the lifetime of a reader/customer, perhaps they'll spend $1,000 buying reviews (say 333 big purchases over 40 years that you're willing to pay $3 a hit for) to make sure they're ; mind you there will be organized that could be captured to say promote one conglomerate of products over another, perhaps even regionally, but I'm beginning to think it's a necessary layer to combat the shit show that is Amazon (et al) reviews. Ideally these systems and how the reviews present the information, and how thorough - the technical depth and breadth and testing done - will help educate those who dive into using this system, which will sharpen themselves while keeping reviewers on their toes and arguably strengthening their organizations and competency as well.
I like articles like this that encourage you to think about details that are often missed when it comes to making everyday life run smoothly. I also get that it makes sense to time box it to a year to give a sense of scale to the problem. However the headline is written in a click bait-ey way that rubs me the wrong way. I know you gotta do it for the clicks and all, but I think we need to find a better way to capture the attention of readers.

consider that these donations can probably be deductible.
The core problem, I guess, is that search engines view all their results as ads. That’s why they got into the ad business in the first place.
Somewhat off topic, but this could lead to a fun hobby for people that are retired. Gather lists of bad companies like this and interview at them. Record the interactions then make youtube videos and ask their investors, board members and partners if this toxic liability is a good idea.
The curated search results business model doesn't work. Google gives "aggregators" and other search engines the death sentence for organic search traffic from economically meaningful queries, so you'd get no free traffic. This is one of the major antitrust complaints against Google in the EU. Since you get no organic search traffic, you need to build a brand using advertising, and once you start down that road you need to monetize the first click which compromises the quality of your site.
I wasn't even staring void, I actually folded on the table. Biochemical dead battery is close, because it's really snappy like an on/off switch, but in my case it was also above the somatic layer. The idea in my mind just before was that "there's no more path to follow, no more things in the list, sorry... closing".
Very true, although it is an embarrassing thing to admit (for me, anyway).

Although, now that it comes to it I wonder: is it really something to be embarrassed about, to care about github stars more than zeroes in your bank account, and the wonderful things that gets you? Will not the stars really and truly affect more people more meaningfully than the zeroes?

I suppose in the end it's a struggle between pleasure and vanity, as always.

Tarkovsky was an Orthodox Christian, but his ideas about the irreducibility of experience parallel Zen:

"Everybody asks me what things mean in my films. This is terrible! An artist doesn't have to answer for his meanings. I don't think so deeply about my work - I don't know what my symbols may represent. What matters to me is that they arouse feelings, any feelings you like, based on whatever your inner response might be. If you look for a meaning, you'll miss everything that happens. Thinking during a film interferes with your experience of it. Take a watch into pieces, it doesn't work. Similarly with a work of art, there's no way it can be analyzed without destroying it."

- Andrei Tarkovsky

Andrei Tarkovsky: Interviews, pg. 71
Univ. Press of Mississippi, 2006

Edit: as others have pointed out, my surprise at this parallel may tell you less about the uniqueness of Tarkovsky's world view, and more about my ignorance of Orthodox Christianity.
Are audiophiles similar to wine tasters? My understanding is that wine tasters cannot reliably pick an expensive wine by taste alone. Is audio similar to this or is there merit to it?
How would you avoid throwing the original site out with the bathwater?
I second this.

Additionaly, if it's one thing that a BFA (design and technology) has taught me it's that concept is everything (self and peer critique are close seconds).

Foundations in drawing, color, light, space, form, etc are highly recommended not just for execution, but also for your way of thinking about how you perceive your environments.

After going through the foundations, it's about how to formulate and refine your concepts. What do you have to express? What do you care about? Why does it matter to you and/or the world at large? Does it even matter or is it even worth people hearing? What does it address? How is your perspective different from precedents set by others who've created works regarding your topic of choice? The list goes on.

Only once you've answered those questions and more should you start to consider the medium for execution. From there it becomes an iterative process of creating prototypes/drafts, repeating those steps mentioned, and receiving as objective constructive criticisms from others in order to refine and come up with a final piece.

All in all, you may not get any attention for what you've created, but you will feel fulfilled. Seeking attention is what marketing is for and attention seeking has little to nothing to do with creating.

> there’s a tangible difference between an Apple product and competitors

This seems pretty subjective. iPhone does exactly same things (takes pictures, makes calls, runs apps) as a $50 no-name device running Android. Similarly, a bottle of Two Buck Chuck gets you drunk the same as a $25k Romanée-Conti.
Audiophiles are a strange bunch. Some of them believe drawing around the edge of a CD with a special pen (not just any marker will do you know!) will improve the sound [1]. It's a laughably stupid premise.

> With ABS and ESC, most cars on the road today have a computer involved in the braking system. It seems pretty safe.

Absolutely. These systems have very simple feedback loops and controller algorithms. Determining that you lost traction is a simple problem to solve. Determining that a dangerous obstruction is in front of your vehicle is not.

ABS/ESC also tend to have a more limited impact on the vehicle, even if they do malfunction. You can typically disable these pretty easily (pull fuse/drive system configure).

In a tiny country. Imelda Marcos exercised a similar level of power in a country >5x the size of Romania.

The fact that he threw in Margaret Thatcher (who was not a dictator, and thus didn’t have as have much raw power) kinda shows that the author was just pulling opinions out of thin air, or exaggerating for effect, rather than carefullly measuring ‘raw power’.
