I hate the argument this blog uses. Just because your data is available and abused through websites A, B, and C doesn't mean you should add your private data to site D.

If I'm trying to avoid catching Covid-19 by limiting exposure but have to go the the grocery story, the doctors, and the gas station it doesn't mean I should also go to a music concert since I'm already unable to avoid exposure.

Most generals I talk to make some dumb LOTR reference at some point. It’s infused in US military officer culture.

Also, “The Cyber”.

These guys are all poli sci and religion majors who know more about fantasy movies than the commands they are assigned.

We really need to nuke our defense budget from orbit, starting with the officer corps, which is full of cowards, incompetents, and grifters.
I also hate it- Tolkein survived WW1 and would probably hate that military companies are looking to him for inspiration
I had this problem recently, was hoping there was a reasonable fix but it appears not... (the H1 already contains the title)

I don't think about SEO, and just focus on useful writing / societal impact. However, I recently discovered by accident that I ended up with a top 2 search result for "platform democracy": https://google.com/search?q=platform+democracy .

But the title is missing the first 3 words—including the key words "Platform Democracy" — so that if I was a random person aiming to learn about the concept, I would likely skip over the result! (I almost did even though I wrote the piece!) This seems not ideal for either users or Google, and also an interesting exploration of AI/NLP impacts, so I tried to dig a bit deeper.

I had a brief exchange with Danny Sullivan, Google's public
@searchliaison on it on Twitter (https://twitter.com/metaviv/status/1484636387366289413) which linked to two guides from Google on this. Sadly neither were particularly helpful, but will share them here in case they are helpful to others:

- https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearanc...

- https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2021/09/more-info-...

(Also plausibly relevant: I have http://platformdemocracy.com/ redirect to the piece. I imagine this might impact search ranking, but I would be surprised if it impacts the title rewriting.)
Those alerts are pretty loud, particularly with noise canceling on. One of the things I love about noise canceling is I can listen to my music almost at zero volume on the phone. With everything else blocked out, it's plenty loud. Then the 'bloop bloop' happens and it's like someone hit me over the head.
Of similar interest...

If you're comparing the duration of an injection with the medically and legally mandated 14-day period of exclusion, look into the scientific reasons for the 14-day period.
I do think FB is on to something about the "gaming" community that goes further than just "playing games" that has emerged in recent years that could be sorta kinda related to VR but not really. The VR thing is just FB's foothold into the industry in general because it's not like they can compete with MS/Sony/Nintendo.

Minecraft, Fortnite, hell FFXIV and WoW are all digital spaces where people go to hang out with friends. You don't just log in to play the game but to hang out -- the digital version of "being in the room" that feels really different than something like a group chat.

I'm not at all surprised that the owners of a bunch of successful "classic" social media properties is rightfully scared of a completely different kind of social network that crept up on them and that they have zero foothold in.
Yes, and deaths have been steadily rising since then.
That's right, in the sense that a supercontagious disease cannot stay rare for long. For how long can is stay rare? For how many months? That's a nontrivial question for a diseases such as this, which has both superspreaders and a large number of patients that infect noone.
Some thoughts:

1. Just launch and see what happens.

2. Work on things that don't require business relationships to get started; i.e. don't take a hard dependency on other people changing their behavior.

3. Find a more fulfilling pursuit than startups.

Good luck.
Two things:

I'm not clear on why the first one would cost $10k. The enclosure, maybe?

If he were going to sell these, the rule of thumb I heard was to charge the cost of parts x 10. (Edit: maybe a factor of 2? I forget.)
Technological progress and economic incentives seem (to me) to make ubiquitous surveillance unavoidable. Given that, it seems that the best solution would be to force our rulers to be subject to ubiquitous surveillance.
You can be as cynical as you like, the general idea of (very) quickly iterating to stay focused on what your customer wants is a proven and effective way of build software.

It's not as effective if you're not working in software, or at least I don't know how effective it is, but that's not what this submission is about.
But even if you read it, you would have legitimate reason for concern when they started taking more than the 2% stated since there is no mention of taking more than 2% (except in the private email from the plug-in author, which isn't part of the terms)
Definition of privacy derangement syndrome, right there.

This is superficial "privacy" which affords no marginal improvement in your actual privacy but does concretely break the Census.
Also agreed. I have been using Jabra earbuds daily for about four years and they would perfectly.
I used to just put the cable under my shirt.
Google isn't doing this for the user, they are doing it so Ads are more clickable than organic search, they want people clicking on Ads. I can guarantee they won't rewrite the clickbait ads written by marketers who are paying for space. The result is ads are more likely to be clicked

100% of the above the fold content is now ads on many search terms, Google is doing everything they can to squeeze more ad clicks, not provide the best information to their users
Hmmm, but the text is white. Maybe you have some sort of ..... Oh god. I had Dark Reader enabled in the browser and forgot to turn it off... Fixed, thanks for feedback :)
I had the opposite experience - I had the ones with a wire between them when my kid was a baby and had to stop using them as soon as he was able to grab things. That wire was so tantalizing and the buds got forcibly ripped out of my ears every time! I switched to some very cheap (and relatively large = easier to grab out of a small mouth if necessary) AirPod knockoffs and only put in the ear on the other shoulder from where I was holding the baby.

Now he's older and when he gets hold of them he tries to put them in his ear rather than his mouth. I've been cutting down on wearing them when I'm around him anyway, since he's copying everything now.
Until their clients learn about it. And then they stand to lose.
That doesn't rule out internal incompetence and/or just dealing with network infrastructure complexity.

Remember not too long ago when AWS and Facebook were down for a fairly significant time period? I'd hardly call either org technically incompetent, and it's probably safe to say that either org has as much (if not significantly more) technical staff and capability onboard than a small nation state like North Korea (especially North Korea).

While it's certainly possible external nation state cyber attacks are going on (who knows with the confusing Russia/Ukraine shenanigans going on), I wouldn't be quick to rule out simple technical issues and/or incompetence without a bit more evidence.
But if the title is spam, and the content is good (this is a big 'if'), the best solution would be to rewrite the title so that it's useful and keep the page at its original rank, based on the content. Ideally, Google would be able to handle all these different cases and just give me the best search results. Now, we all know that's increasingly less true, but in theory that's how it should work.
More specifically, both schools of thought that you mention involve powerful people taking intentional action, while the point of the slur is to convince you that a phenomenon is coincidence.
Now that you say it, I’m not using the original cable, and I don’t recall what happened to it because it’s been so long ago (could’ve been a similar issue to the one you described).

I couldn’t find a Shure original cable to replace mine with right away, so I got a compatible one and been rolling with it ever since. It’s slightly thinner, more flexible and without the thicker malleable parts near earbud connections. I was cautious about those differences at first, but in the end grown to prefer it more than the original, these thin wires wrap around my ears just fine.

As a side note, one of the things I treasure about the design of these IEMs is the replaceability of the cable. The IEMs themselves can probably survive for ages, which gives a nice feeling among the increasingly disposable electronics—I just hope the model would still exist on the market when something eventually happens to my unit.
> I feel like I'm encountering more and more sites and articles where I can't seem to find the date.

Moreover, since static pages are no longer a thing, the system cannot even retrieve the date the file was created/modified, always returns the timestamp from when it was presented on the browser.

Getting EXIF data from images might provide a clue, but the image creation/edits often do not correlate with the text...

If anyone knows how to extract such date info, it'd be helpful
But which one is "not how it works" ?

As I said, for the DNS validation we actually have pretty specific technical rules today, the "Ten Blessed Methods" (well, their modern successors) which is why we're talking about one of those methods here (tls-alpn-01 is method 3.2.2.4.20)

Today there are rules for EV but they're understandably vague, because they're talking about the problem we addressed above, eventually they get down this idea of a "Principal Individual" which can include "an employee" who is merely "authorised to conduct business" on behalf of (in our example) Bank of America and of course you're back to square one. How can we know they're authorised ?

The trick in the DNS validation is that we're asking a question machines could potentially have an authoritative answer to. Does this applicant control this DNS name. Not "Should they?". Not to "Are they authorised?" but specifically do they control it.

The non-DNS validation can't do that.
On Windows, if there has been value in putting those tasks in a GUI in the control panel, they will do it. It's the same deal.

Yes you can technically build a system without dbus or systemd or polkit or gettext or the C library or whatever it is you feel is superfluous. As you've found it is not actually difficult to do that, just tedious and impractical. You aren't gaining anything here by removing things. If you want equivalent functionality you're now tasked with building the equivalents, e.g. Android which is also a single user userspace for Linux without dbus or systemd, but has its own fairly complex set of high level services and IPC system.
Exactly. Removing the headphone jack is incredibly hostile to those of us who want to use wired headphones, and clearly motivated by the insane profits of wireless earbuds. And the worst part? It's working. Just look at the AirPods business and you'll see exactly why Apple does it.

For myself, I'm sticking with an older phone and IEMs with replaceable cables. Super happy with it because I'm OK with the tradeoff of dealing with the wire instead of dealing with batteries and replacements every 2-3 years. So sure, Apple has made some profit off of wireless buds. But they could make even more profit by adding a headphone jack and allowing folks who want wireless buds to use them. (no, dongles and lightning headphones do not solve this issue -- I want to be able to use the same connector for all my devices, and I want to be able to use it while charging) At least add it to the SE, for Pete's sake.
Wow, if privacy is the concern then it makes a heck of a lot more sense not to publish fine grained data. Keep it at the tract level instead of block since those are more closely defined by the population size living in them-- usually a few thousand.

Giving purposely bad data is much worse than no data.
I agree with you mostly, with the exception that I think it used to mean "insane school of thought", but more recently people have been mislabeling those who have a non-mainstream school of thought the same in an attempt to slander. The effect seems to have weakened the term, and given power to some ideas which may have rightfully been conspiracy theories in the traditional sense.
Interesting coincidence in acronyms :)
It's not about "valid" or "no more valid". It's about context.

If you want to distrust a security vendor for greenlighting something that was found to be vulnerable the following week, you'd probably be in the clear.

If it was 6 years ago? Maybe don't count that against them; especially if it's a novel vulnerability that was discovered.

But also, if you're running 6 year old software, maybe update to a newer version of it.
They're free only if sysadmin time is free. It's the same rabbit hole. In practice, maintaining, supporting, and running a server, especially with archival-grade backups and retention -- is gonna require more than $50k (let alone $5k) of human time each year. You can't pretend there is no cost or that the cost is an order-of-magnitude lower than it is. At that point, you end up with solutions which can't work.

Many people would gladly donate a megabuck a year if a significant portion of science went open as a result. People won't do that if you pretend the annual costs are $5k. Likewise, university libraries fielding that cost is a good solution -- and far cheaper than journals -- but it won't work if you pretend the cost figure is lower than it is.
From the GitHub:

> One of IBA’s benefits is that it allows sites that are useful to the user, but perhaps could not be easily monetized via contextual advertising, to display more relevant ads to the user than they otherwise could, helping to fund the sites that the user visits.

Does someone have a good example of a site like this? It still feels like a solution in search of a problem. The TPA cookie people will just move to other fingerprinting techniques.

Unless regulations across the world have changed drastically in the last couple of weeks, this is just false.
Quite. I've read that his description of Mordor was based off his experiences from WW1. He was not a fan of war.
You may have written this as an attack, but this is 100% compatible with libertarian worldview:

> As long as they don't mix with the rest of society

Private discrimination is your right — if you don't want to admit unmasked and unvaccinated to your premises, you should be able to. As a pro-vaccine libertarian, it would make me prefer your establishments over others.

> are willing to bear the full cost of their 10x higher risk of hospital and ICU care

Of course. Nobody can claim the rights to other people's labour, and we don't want others to be obliged to pay for our healthcare — and healthcare providers should have the same right of private discrimination.
Most cultures in East/South/Southeast Asia have a similar reaction to skin colour for the dominant local ethnicity. For example, when in Tamil Nadu, (sadly) local people with darker skin are considered lower class. (Positive note: This is less and less true when you talk to young, highly-educated Indians!) As a counterpoint, of course, this would not matter if a group of wealthy South Indian-descent Malaysians walked into a business/shop/restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (For less knowledgeable readers: South Indian-descent Malaysians are a comparative minority in Malaysia -- Wiki says only 6.6%!)

This is strictly personal, but where I grew up with mostly light skinned people... showing up after winter holidays with a dark tan made you look so hot and so rich! Did anyone else feel the same? It carries into my life as an adult. :)

You're not technically stopped, you just have to pay extra money to get an adapter, with the additional downside that you can no longer charge the phone while using those headphones.
New infections is not a very relevant metric at this point.
Wow, this and the recent AMD release make it so much easier for Intel to break into the discrete GPU game. I can't help but think of this as a major strategic error.

This is an extraordinary claim that runs counter to all available evidence and should be backed up by extraordinary evidence.
> IMF executive directors, who represent the fund’s 190 member nations, highlighted Bitcoin’s risks to “financial stability, financial integrity, and consumer protection” and fiscal contingent liabilities, the fund said in a statement Tuesday. They urged the authorities “to narrow the scope of the Bitcoin law by removing Bitcoin’s legal tender status.”

Sounds like they feel threatened.
There are two problems with making that distinction. First, by that definition, few languages have regular expressions as a feature. Second, in languages with support for syntax rewriting, that would mean the internal implementation, not the user-facing syntax, is what decides what counts as a "real" feature.
No, you are right.

This is the way anyone with a clue would approach search until Google broke it: search for words or phrases within the page.
I understand that this is the dominant view in the Western sphere and there's really no point arguing about it, our priors would be too different.

Doesn't change anything about what I said about tech dependence though, especially between Europe/US (where Russia is not in the picture at all).
Wait until you find out how big the browser that runs that code is!
If this were being done by a person, I might agree with you.

But it's not. It's being done by an algorithm which was carefully crafted to improve someone's chance for getting a promotion. It won't be maintained long term, yet it will continue to punish articles based on wholly arbitrary, biased, and opaque logic.
but what would you do with it?
This results in an argc of 0 in the a.out program:

char* args[] = {NULL};
execv("./a.out", args);

If someone did this by accident (as it's a programming error) then they should be told, instead of the unhelpful exit. That's my point.
He was elected a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980 (two years after publishing his paper about the input method) but he was already almost 70 years old, so he didn't have much of a career afterwards. He died in 1993
I didn’t know Notion was a Rails product, that’s pretty cool!

Just for disclosure, I used to do a bunch of Rails but I haven’t touched it since the start of covid so it’s applicability to some of what I mentioned was not something I’ve actively built and so I haven’t figured out where all the rough parts are yet because it’s just not a use case of mine these days.

But that second link I mentioned sounds maybe more promising? I initially skimmed it and thought it was there to handle the PostgreSQL to Spanner integration but looking at it a second time it sounds more like native Spanner integration but keeping the otherwise Rails native ActiveRecord experience.

If you’re building against a bunch of PostgreSQL specific functionality then maybe you’re still stuck with the same problem but I don’t think there is a generally speaking more capable publicly available SQL database out there than Spanner than I am aware of is there?

But as a side note if you’re Notion in this situation and not a random small team of a few people I don’t imagine you would have much of a problem reaching out to the GCP team to explain your current set up / requirements, they would be more than happy to give you a custom roadmap to migrate to Spanner, they have entire teams dedicated to exactly those kinds of projects.
I love my aeropex, but i’d be half inspired to write a similarly styled article about the annoying uniform beep notification UX- especially if you’ve paired with multiple devices and one is not quite in range.

Mods frequently rewrite submitted titles, either cos it's not the same title used in the article, or because there's a better wording for the HN crowd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But mentioning it as if white people are known for it or did it lots or have a specific history of it is quite racist. Bad things are committed by all races and slavery is certainly one of them. It's whitewashing the world's dirty secrets and then pinning them on the evil white man.
This is a bad argument. Omicron is massively spreading among the vaccinated as well as the unvaccinated. The difference in likelihood of catching COVID from a vaxxed vs unvaxxed is negligible over any decent time interval. You're not catching COVID from the unvaxxed, you're catching it from other people. Given this reality, how do you justify a vaccine mandate?
Network stress can easily be unintentional. This seems to be a common factor in major outages at FAANGs. Something gets overloaded, fails over to another system that’s then overloaded, leading to cascading failures.

There’s a big chance this is an attack, but it’s good to have an open mind.
Wasn't there this crazy bloke from New Zeeland that made his own DIY cruise missile? Just for fun, apparently, but he got into trouble with the authorities when they found out?

Yeah, you used to have to think of specific, unique keywords that would appear in the page you were searching for. A lot of people couldn't break the habit of asking questions, so search engines just started accepting it and trying to optimize for it.
It won't be a child process because PID 1 will actually start this unit. Yes, without setuid because PID 1 takes the request from the unprivileged systemd-run client.
They should de-rank clickbait websites, as many of them qualify as webspam.
Progress is slowly being made on transparency. For the Omicron-specific Pfizer vaccine, the clinical trial in humans must be completed before approval and clinical trial data must be submitted at the same time (no 75-year delays).

> recent study from Israel showed that while a fourth dose of an mRNA vaccine boosted antibodies, the level was not high enough to prevent infection by the Omicron variant ... the debate appears to have shifted with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) saying on Friday that international regulators now preferred clinical studies to be carried out before approval of a new vaccine ... it may not be possible to realise a current plan to launch an Omicron-targeting vaccine by the end of March ... Inclusion of clinical trial data in the regulatory filings may have an impact on the delivery of initial batches.
> But they could make even more profit by adding a headphone jack and allowing folks who want wireless buds to use them.

How would this generate more profit for Apple?
