If I can be frank, nothing google has done or is doing with my search data bothers me in the slightest. If it uses my data to help target advertising - so be it. It doesn't bother me either as I use uBlock. So whether I pay or not, the only thing I care about is the quality of my search results. What makes you think you can do better than a company with over 20 years experience, 10s of 1000s of engineers working on their product? I took a skim through the features and google could implement site muting in an instant if they wanted - so this isn't going to get you far in the market. The number one thing that makes google better than anyone else at this is I type in some words and they find the information I need - pretty quickly.

I usually wouldn't ask these kinds of questions but I think this is the one of the hardest problems to get right - to impact such a wide number of people. No-one has even come _close_ to taking a dent out of Google in the last 20 years.
It's something I'm working towards. Right now you can see building shadows at street level zoom, but they're quite rough. Check out shadowmap.org, which is a project that does buildings well.

This piqued my curiosity and I did a bit of research. Apparently there are a variety of glasses that can withstand that kind of heat such as aluminosilicate glass and fused quartz / high silica glass.

There are also commercial formulations such as Robax, which is apparently some kind of transparent ceramic good up to 825°C (although the temperature / time load capacity listed for that temperature is only 5 hours. Assuming the solar ovens reach a maximum of 700°C you get a far more reasonable 5000 hours).

I haven't seen anything about cookware rated to those kinds of temperatures, so I'd assume it's custom-made out of something like the above.
Heard, on the co-recursive podcast, how jaw-dropping SQLite's testing is so I'm surprised by this even happening (a compliment).
Yes, this is completely not okay.

Very clickbait headline. The relevant info is that the show will include Harfoots (a type of hobbit), but the story is supposedly based in the 2nd age. Tolkien Canon doesn’t have hobbits appearing until the 3rd age, according to the article.

My understanding is that Tolkien canon doesn’t have any stories big enough for a full show, though it does have lots of smaller tales scattered throughout history. So to make a show, they have to create a narrative within the context and setting of the world at that time. I think Tolkien paints a rich history, so there is a lot of existing world building to pull from to set the show within. I don’t think the change “hobbits exist in the world a few hundred years earlier” makes a negative impact — I think many will be excited to see hobbits in the show!

Side note: I think it’s interesting that Amazon is spending so much money on the show. I hope that means they know they need to “do it right” and not cut corners in order to attract the huge LOTR fanbase. I also find it interesting that they are contractually obligated to make five seasons.
Ask HN: When you apply again at a company, is your profile cross referenced?
It’s happened to me that I apply for a position at a company, get rejected and then apply again a few months/years later for a similar job at the same company.

In the interval, I update and tweak my CV or profile and I get better at interviewing.

Do companies/hiring managers/HR drones see your previous attempts and past interview notes when you apply again because hiring software cross references your previous applications with your name/email, or is every candidate starting with a clean slate unless they say they applied before and the person puts extra effort into finding the previous application?

And if it’s cross referenced, do the previous interview notes have any weight in the new application round?

I understand every company does this differently but I’d like to get a general sense whether this is common or not.
I tried to correct something minor in the HTML spec a couple of years ago <https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/5156>, but I couldn’t contribute it individually because I happened at the time to be employed by a company that works on the internet. Which, y’know, is probably most of the people that could contribute individually. (The issue did get sorted out eventually <https://github.com/whatwg/sg/issues/62>, relaxing things for most people, though probably not quite for me under the employer I had at the time.)
Interesting! I assumed ML consulting would require a long academic record (not saying the work requires that, just that there’s probably a bias towards that). How did you go from information security to ML? I’m taking some night classes at a local uni in the bay on ML to pick some of it up and might consider making a move once I’ve finished with my current work
I wonder how it collects the results from “the best search engines on the market”. Bing’s API in Azure has very specific terms of use that do not allow something like Kagi, and Google Search API is not designed to build a generic search engine.

You could make the same arguments when you're working with slices in Go. Take append(slice, element). Does it return a slice with the element appended to it, or does it modify the slice in-place?. For some things, you have to look at the docs, that's how it is. Usually languages have conventions around that. In JS, map, filter and reduce always return a fresh array and leave the initial array untouched.
Apparently borosilicate is only good up to ~500°C, and only for very short periods of time at that. But per my other comment there are other variations such as aluminosilicate which can withstand much hotter temperatures.

> Use of natural gas by households is dependent on the availability of natural gas network
and price (Figure 5, Figure 6). Out of 21 000 surveyed households, 41% were using natural
gas (for all purposes, including for heating, water heating and cooking purposes). The
share of natural users by house type was as follows: 45% of urban apartments, 50% of
urban detached houses, 31% of rural apartments and 31% of rural detached houses.
Majority of the households in the western regions of Kazakhstan rely on natural gas due
to the developed gas pipeline infrastructure and low gas prices.

You could argue however that, "Oh, purple, sorry, well, four always tasted like purple to me, so that's the one I jotted down in a rush"

Other people may have different opinions about their personal data.

The advantage Kagi has over Google is the different business model. Google would never for example introduce a "non-commercial" filter as it would go against their advertising-based business model. Kagi doesn't give a shit about ads and will do whatever that keeps its users paying and so has a non-commercial "lens" (as they call it). I'm not sure how good or accurate it is, but it's at least there which is already more than I can say about Google.

Kagi has a feature to prioritize or exclude some domains. Google doesn't have that despite their size, resources and decades of search experience. That makes it pretty clear to me that Google's weakness has nothing to do with experience or resources and thus a new entrant could potentially compete without either.

In Sweden salary information like this is provided by the government for everyone. Just a phone call away.
So a new company you are joining can easily verify your current salary with your ssn & dob. Right? They have your history of employers from your resume already.
Wow, this is completely accurate. Has temp working job on college campus, information from when I was at Microsoft and Google. Interesting from Microsoft it just contains my base salary and cash bonus, but Google has base salary, cash bonus, and RSU grants as "Other Income".
Its not that unintuitive once you understand async/await and how the tasks are resumed. Execution is yielded at an await. At that time the loop is not running anywhere, its not even in a sleep state. The loop "terminates" by never being resumed.
If anyone is able to take a large bite out of Google's search market share, it will be by figuring out how to not drown results in ads, SEO and blogspam. If they can successfully pull that off, it has obvious value.

I had this issue with my first software job right out of college. I was unproductive for weeks, just due to culture shock and (shamefully) malaise. The procrastination snowballed. Luckily a fellow engineer eventually noticed, sat down with me, and recognized exactly what was going on. In the kindest way possible, he sat down behind me and basically made me finally start my next project. He stayed there with me for the rest of the day, answering and asking questions to keep my progress going. It had quite an impact on me. Having another person involved and actively care about my work went a long way.
You forgot the worst of them all, the government!

That’s making an assumption one route does better than the other. How do you know your assumed correlation isn’t backwards? Or that parents staying in an unhappy and abusive marriage isn’t very traumatic on kids?

In all my long term relationships we lived together for a long period of time and only one resulted in children. So I don’t think courting was particularly required to get to know one another or find a stable situation to raise kids.

On top of which the idea that planning cool dates is a good proxy for raising kids or even long term compatibility is utterly hilarious.

And that’s dodging round the implication that the main reason to have a relationship is to have kids which isn’t true at all.
What are you talking about? Coinbase’s about page lists “73+ million verified users”.

I never said that any single exchange has over hundred million, but rather exchanges combined have hundreds of millions.
I kinda thought all 3 of my offers during my recent job change were suspiciously close. Now I know why, as all 3 employers requested it. Fuck everything about this.

A few jobs are missing, but the most recent (and therefore most relevant) is correct.

We use IMDb quite frequently. If there was a better way to integrate that into virtually all of our TV viewing, I think we would do it.

But an app on my iOS device is not the solution. I’m not going to hold up my phone and have it scan the thing on my TV screen across the room, then rinse and repeat that action for every single thing we might watch.
Someone told me they are illegal in many countries and that they are mainly a us/uk thing (may have been a European centric view).. not sure how accurate that is.

I completely agree, I think that’s the point I’m making - motivation is separate from execution. No pill is going to make you want to do something or to accomplish some goal. You need to decide that for yourself, and only then can execution even make a difference in the first place.

In fact I’d say the clearest indicator of ADHD is a surplus of motivation coupled with a dearth of execution. You know you want it, but you can’t do it, despite being acutely aware of your day-to-day actions fucking it up. This is what medication helps with in my experience.

When I first started working with my psychiatrist, she had me try several different stimulants and I found that the effect was surprisingly different for different formulations. My experience with a generic for Ritalin was a lot like what you described, but my experience with dextroamphetamine was totally different: it does quiet my mind down and I don't get pulled into hyperfocus nearly as much. The subjective feeling was different too; I'm not sure how to describe it, but the dextroamphetamine just felt softer.

I've found that the effects change massively with sleep quality. When I'm short on sleep for a few nights, it almost feels like the medication stops working. It still has an effect—I am noticeably more clumsy and forgetful without it—but it feels different and the higher-order effect on focus or executive function is less pronounced.

Another thing I've heard is that protein in the morning helps. I've tried drinking a protein shake for breakfast and it seems to make the day better in general, but with a much smaller effect than sleep quality. For all I know, it might just have been the case that I only remembered to have breakfast on days when I had slept well...
This is based on on-chain data. A huge number of people never actually interact with the underlying chains of the tokens they trade (which is my entire point). The article you link to notes this.

But 100m people isn’t mainstream? Coinbase has 73m (mostly American) customers itself, and undoubtedly there are many many more who know of Coinbase but aren’t customers. The Super Bowl commands fewer than 100m viewers. Crypto companies are sponsoring sports teams and stadiums. Matt Damon is doing commercials for them.

You don’t think that’s mainstream?

Here in Indonesia the joke is AI as Admin Intelligence, as Admin is the shorthand for people managing/doing administrative tasks. I admit it's a legit strategy to increase productivity (offshore/multitenant/software optimise service), but doing that and analyzing/training on the data still doesn't help creating an AI for it. Ex: Uber.

>What drove people who might have been subsistence farmers in the past to work in factories were deliberate policies to privatize the land common people needed to work in order to survive, along with laws that made previously landed people landless and criminalizing their abilities to sustain themselves.

Enclosure laws certainly were a massive factor into workers moving to factories. However, I reject the Marxist historian's implication that some aristocrats we're inspired by capitalist ideals to become greedy, which allowed them to take lands from the poor farmers. Rather, they were always this greedy, and market conditions simply let them actualize that greed.

The Black Plague decimated the population of Europe, which allowed the peasants to gain more leverage and gave them common land. However, by the early 1600s (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_England#Histor...), the population had grown back to its height, and the aristocrats had the leverage to claw back these privileges. Indeed, that was when the first formal enclosure acts were introduced (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosure).

Moreover, my point about preindustrial/early industrial workers not placing much importance in free time still stands. They could have worked for the enclosure and had more free time but still chose factory work.
Wow, straight up loony.

Is criticism from being late due to changing requirements normal / valid ? I can't wrap my head around that. You're not paid to predict the future.. you do what you're told to do every day, if it ends up useless what can you do.
The details of how it works and what exactly is legal differ country to country, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are countries where they are not really a thing, but they are not just a US/UK thing. (e.g. here in Germany many landlords will have you submit a score document from the primary credit rating agency with your application for a flat)
Also me with this issue.
I am yet to see a project of a reasonable size where its success or failure can be contributed to a single person - it is always a group effort. A good manager always knows how to distribute work and manage things so that even underperforming/sick/demotivated/frustrated people (things happens) are still delivering value so that the things are moving ahead no matter what. Looking back and pointing fingers is a useful as looking for a toilet after shit already happened.

People's behaviour/actions/attitudes should be adjusted while we are in progress and any reviews/post-mortems/retros are normally embarrassing and offensive and non-productive as we are not given a chance to do differently which brings frustration and breaks the spirit rather than improves things.

The only thing that matters is people around you, not technology, or projects or anything else. We spend more time with them than with our parents or partners - but the good thing is - you can always ditch them - not that easy with the parents or partners )))
Capitalism generally happens successfully in societies with laws.

The difference with socialism is the state both defines the laws and decides how to allocate resources, which tends to result in a lot of poverty.
The way I always hear the word used is to describe trust fund babies who have never had a job, or people who walked into a do nothing jobs because of their connections and are completely talentless. It is almost always used ironically, usually by people who have to put up with their incompetence. As I mentioned one of the defining features of this kind of 'elite' is that they are so completely detached from the real world that they don't realize people are making fun of them... amusingly, they also spend endless time trying to tell others how to live, which can be quite hilarious to most people.

Now in your case you clearly are not that kind of person the word is usually used to describe.
Even then, figuring out what’s needed to make it grow _and_produce_truffles_ may be challenging. There are lots of variables. Temperature/humidity/acidity of the ground/availability of nutrients/… throughout the year all may matter.

Possibly, that’s even throughout the yearS. Mast happens “at irregular periods of 2–12 years” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_(botany)) and we don’t really understand that, either.
I appreciate the sentiment and I can certainly understand it. This is of course what I thought too in the beginning, but as curiosity and then determination led one thing to another, we learned that things are doable, as much as that sounded as science fiction. Certainly there is evidence in user feedback that, at least for some people, Kagi is decent at what it does.

The fundamental premise that enables it is the focus on the user. It allows truly wonderful things to happen in the product (and we sometimes forget that search is still a product). Aligning the incentives between us and the user (which is also the customer) is really freeing from a product management perspective.

We are still users of Google products - we utilize the paid search API for results and GCP for infrastructure (hello Google!). We think there are some things that can be built with these truly amazing assets, that Google's business model simply does not permit, and we are thankful for the opportunity.

In the meantime we also built our own index which focuses only on noncommercial content and are going to invest more in this direction in the future. We call it "the more humane web".

Another thing is that we do not need to get _very_ far in the market. There is no shareholder pressure, just angry (or happy!) users. This is not, nor will ever be, a Google scale product.

This is a paid search product of premium quality (or so I'd like to believe it is shaping to be) for a tight number of individuals (and families!) who are a little different and want something different for their search experience. Few tens of thousands of subscribers will make Kagi sustainable and I hope we will have what it takes to get there. That is all I can wish for right now.

Thanks for considering!
