Kwik Trip's the best gas station in town for hot food, bagged milk, and bananas. It seems to be working; most people I know prefer to go there over other local convenience stores.

Casey's (based in Iowa) has been moving into Kwik Trip's territory in the last few years, but despite Casey's bright, clean stores and some excellent gummi pizza slice candies, Kwik Trip is still king.

I don't think there's any issue monetizing a chronological timeline.

The issue for them I imagine is retention: with chronological, it's likely that when you visit Twitter the first few messages you see are not interesting and you leave. But if they put a tweet that's popular among your social group in front of you? Odds are that's interesting to you and you stick around a bit longer.

I dislike that, to be clear, but I imagine this is the human behavior for >90% of people.

Networking. If I'd have been a better performer in the past, I'd have probably followed some of my high performing coworkers to their jobs and gave better overall job satisfaction. Being in teams that value good code and perform with good work life balance makes work enjoyable.
> I dislike how companies are not only pushing proprietary mesh networks, but also making them automatically enabled for their users and opt-out.

I actually quite like that this particular feature is opt out because the goal is to make the mesh network actually useful and not just a white paper theoretical application with zero adoption. Requiring labor of any kind will exclude much of the population from the start, which, for this particular utility, is not tenable.

> It feels like the companies are piggybacking on my internet connection, hardware and electricity for free to literally power their closed network. I don't get paid a penny for it, but their shareholders sure do.

You get access to the benefits of this particular mesh network, which lets you locate your Apple devices more reliably than without it.

> Open mesh networks could be really cool, but instead of open networks, we get mesh networks that only allow Alexa to pump ads into your home, while excluding you, me and everyone else except Amazon and their partners from doing amazing things with the meshnets.

I agree that what mesh networking is being utilized for right now is not really very close to its potential, but there's also not much reason why Amazon or Apple should open their platforms up to third parties at this time. If you want to create something useful with mesh networking you have to sell the idea to the general population. Massive corporations like Apple, Google, or Meta are at a big advantage by having a huge network of users already from which they can push their ideas to the public, but it's a significantly greater challenge for anyone without that resource. Still, I think it could be done.
Good. When I search for things on DDG, I expect relevant results. Disinformation (from Russia or elsewhere) is the precise opposite of relevant results, for the same reason as SEO spam pages and malware sites and clickbait articles are the precise opposite of relevant results.

So now the question is whether this will indeed apply to all disinformation or just Russia's.
I'm talking about not caring if it's on the low end of standard industry pay, which would still be way more than min wage. If I didn't care at all, then there's literally no point in getting a job to do nothing because I wouldn't care about the money. 10$ an hour is not worth the inconvenience of being stuck somewhere and needing to do work once in a while
The problem isn't with reordering the timeline. It's that the algorithmic timeline will insert all kinds of total garbage posted by people I don't follow into the timeline. The real timeline is easy to curate. Just follow people who post interesting things, then unfollow people who turn out to tweet too much about things you have no interest in. The algorithmic timeline makes that impossible.
When you mentioned serde, my reaction was, "oh, that's why the name sounds familiar". And then you mentioned anyhow. And proc-macro2. My goodness he's prolific.

As someone who has been dragged down to the proc macro layer somewhat against my will, I'm not sure if I should be in awe or terror of an intellect that can be so consistently successful and useful in that world.
With chronological timelines you either "run out" of content (because you've already refreshed like 15 times this hour and read everything the people you follow have said), or you get buried in content you don't want (because you're following people for hairdressing tips and they're all tweeting 20-page threads about why Putin is actually in the right somehow). Eventually you burn out and churn out.

With algorithmic timelines the system is deliberately optimizing for "what keeps you on the site", even if it's not new or not something you follow. Hence, you stay on longer and view more ads. There's nothing about chrono that makes advertising less effective; algorithmic timelines just keep people on site and thus keep them as part of your ad inventory.
If you want "Twitter" without ads, algorithmic feed manipulated by marketing, actual moderation, and actual community, I suggest joining a Mastodon[0] instance (and you probably already know people who are on the platform, making it easier to choose which instance ;)). It's kinda like using Twitter in 2007, but with way more features. For example, selective permissions per-"toot" ("followers only", or "unlisted" which makes it not show up on the public timeline, but still visible on your profile or to followers), content warning on toots (like a spoiler warning), full image description support, much longer posts...

Personally I'm closer every day to abandoning Twitter and just focusing solely on Mastodon. Many in my social circle have already done so.

Oh, while I'm at it: if you want to view Twitter posts without having a Twitter account (or just don't want to see ads and trending crap), check out Nitter[1]. Alternative front-end. It also has minimal JS and is far more resource-efficient (viewing my profile loaded 1.56mb of resources on Nitter, compared to 9.2mb on Twitter)

It is a profoundly American idea that one must be interested in profession in order to pursue it. And it is one that greatly endears this country to me, along with its people, culture, history, and freedom.

The same does not necessarily apply in south or east asia. For them it is prestige, necessity, and the respect of family. Such motivations obviously exist here in America of course, but I wonder how much of it was simply "we in government want you to do this and will pay you well and make you look good in front of your family".

There is a fairground/fundraising con based on this.

Customer gives you one or two dollars.
You set up a card to keep track of a set number of coin flips - 10 say.

The deal/catch:
- heads = multiply their money by 1.25.
- tails = multiply their money by 0.78.

People will usually see +0.25 payout vs -0.22 cost instead of the actual fractional payout as you've already noted.

The nice thing, is one person flips a coin and is the crowd pleaser, while another is the note taker. People can join at any time.

Which is perfect for low visibility. I almost hit a conservative desaturated metallic car once when it was overcast, I was quite tired and the other driver did not turn on their headlights. If I like one thing about newer vehicles it's LED daylight running lights and automatic headlights that turn on in low light.
I see resumes like that a lot. In generally move past them. The cost of churn is high and people who constantly job hop aren't worth the effort or the potential impact to team morale. I say this as an engineering hiring manager. I've job hopped too but I always shoot for at least for years. I don't always make it but I plan for it.

Are you being facetious? America has Whole Foods, Trader Joes, co-ops, etc. I took my friend from Japan to a Whole Foods, and the variety and freshness blew her mind.

And just with eggs, America has: free range, pasture raised, vegetarian grain-fed, "organic", omega-3 boosted, and any other thing you can image.

I know it's cool to shit on America as an American, and say everything is "better in Japan", but that's not the case. America simply has more variety -- both vastly better and vastly worse. If you can't find better quality eggs in America compared to what's in a mass produced Japanese convenience store sandwich, thats more a reflection on you, rather than on what's available in one of the richest countries in the world with a craze for healthy living.
that doesn't have to be true. solve that problem instead of using it as proof that 150% isn't feasible.
Do you want horror stories or do you want recommendations for registrars? Your title and post content are conflicting.

In either case, I don’t have any horror stories. But I can recommend Hover. To be fair, I really don’t do anything beyond the basics with my registrar. I have 3 domains. One points to a GitHub pages destination. The second simply redirects to the first. And the third is configured as my email domain on Fastmail. But in the 5+ years I’ve been using Hover for those domains, I’ve never had any issues. And renewals are always made known way in advance with many reminders.

Did you learn to swim before trying swimming in lakes or did you just jump in one day? seems like a risk mitigation to me if you took any lessons or practiced at all.

No one's asking for everyone to hide in their houses forever, we want increased testing, contact tracing, and mechanisms for community protection that kick in when cases start to rise, not after they've reached critical mass. Think of these like the swimming lessons you took and laps you did in the pool before you moved on to the lake.
Doesn't the comment right below the one you linked successfully refute Danny Sullivan's claim?
For easier access for discussion, the full paragraph is: "Danny Sullivan, Google’s “public liaison for search,” told me that people using Google to find Reddit threads is actually evidence that search is working the way it should. Users on the whole have become passive, relying on Google to anticipate their desires. If they wanted, they could refine their queries, limiting results by, say, price point (“toaster $40 . . . $100”) or by listing certain terms to exclude (“ ‘toaster’ NOT ‘oven’ ”). As machine-learning algorithms have grown more pervasive, we’ve lost some of the fluency with search that older Internet adopters may have learned in a high-school Boolean tutorial. “There’s a shift now where, if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you blame the search engine,” Sullivan said. At the same time, he admitted that many users have a desire for “more noncommercial information, more community-based information.”"

Maybe it's just me, but I thought the middle section of the paragraph wasn't relevant to the first sentence. I speculate, with charitable interpretations, that the order of events was:

1) The reporter asked Sullivan whether the frequent use of "Reddit" in search terms indicated a problem.

2) Sullivan asserted that Google is useful for searching for results restricted to a domain, then shifted to say that Google still gives relevant results if you use Boolean search terms.

3) Potentially after a follow-up question, Sullivan conceded that much of the results that Google returns is commercial instead of community-made.

From a writing perspective, I found it unclear whether the middle section that starts with "Users on the whole have become passive, relying on Google to anticipate their desires" was analysis by the author or part of Sullivan's response. I interpreted the sentences as part of Sullivan's response from the context, though it would have been clearer if the writing more explicitly indicated whether this was part of Sullivan's reported speech.
> I feel like I'm the only person in the world who likes the "algorithmic" feed.

You're not alone. I've switched back and forth but the algorithm wins every time for me. For me, the biggest downside of the chronological feed is that it is dominated by people who Tweet the most, which is an obvious outcome of pure chronological ordering.

The algorithmic feed seems to do a good job of showing me Tweets from people I've interacted with or whose Tweets I've liked. It's good at surfacing Tweets from people I follow who rarely Tweet while effectively rate-limiting the Tweets from the excessive Tweeters that I follow.

This is a strange article because Twitter is still giving the chronological fans what they want. I have no doubt that chronological feed is a rarely used feature and in 2022 it's guaranteed that Twitter has analytics to back up this decision.
> As if nothing good or the best in its breed ever came out from $PREVIOUS_YEAR or any previous years before that!

But these mosquitoes are:

Yes, my theory was also some DNS variance in the AZ, but AWS stolidly refused to supply any information to that effect. Adding 'dig +trace' to the equation only deepened the mystery.
It's even better when you say: hey remember those videos of Russian police stopping people and demanding that they get to search peoples messages? If EARN IT had passed then the Russian government could just remotely search everyone's message history. The arguments about "only legal" access fail miserably. (This is before we consider the copious examples of illegal searches by the US government)
Yeah, I remember that – he basically said that the word might appear on the page but not in the results description. And that's BS, because it used to be that the description of every result contained at least one bolded token included in the search query.

If this is no longer possible, it's only because they're cheaping out on hardware and not actually indexing as much of the page as they could (no way to retrieve the matching token because it's not saved, but they can still match on it). This probably also leads to diluted results.

Resume: https://jonathan-kelley.com/resume

Github: https://github.com/jkelleyrtp

I'm a graduating senior at Olin College of Engineering with a nearly two years of fulltime work experience under my belt. I've built major components and products for venture-funded startups, worked on particle accelerators, and deployed hardware hundreds of feet above the ground on live constructions sites in San Francisco.

My most recent project is http://github.com/dioxusLabs/dioxus - with over 3000 stars in under two months.

My area of interest is software-for-hardware and full stack development that spans the entire stack. I'm looking for a full-time role in either small or big, and I'd be able to provide value extraordinarily quickly. I'd prefer to work with Rust and embedded systems, but can be thrown at C/C++/Python projects just fine.
> or even worse offers from companies with better stock performance

not as relevant IMO. Overcorrections might be better than current performance. Example, now is the best time to join Robinhood, get an $800k stock grant at $12/share. If it goes back up to $50/share like is was last year then that $800k would be worth $3.3 million.
I’ve been thinking the exact same. Changing companies is effectively “buying the dip” because equity grants are always normalized in dollar quanta terms. I’m wondering if the market has bottomed out or not since that’s the best time to switch companies.
For example by calling it an "invasion" as you just did.
That's not the point though.. if you read any of the papers by any of the central banks or the WEF or the related think tanks they want the control.

> They've been battling the widespread preference for chronological timeline

Or the simpler explanation is that the chronological timeline isn't actually the preferred setting, outside of a small but vocal minority.

If the chronological timeline is somehow hurting their profitability, why would they offer it at all? I think the more obvious explanation is that very few people were actually using it according to their analytics, so the switch no longer occupies prime UI/UX real estate. If it was some sort of conspiracy, they would have just killed the feature.

> As the common belief goes, the "algorithmic" one is more profitable. I buy this, intuitively, because it seems natural that it'd be harder to sneak in something jarring if you were viewing a more traditional timeline.

I don't follow this logic. There's nothing stopping Twitter from inserting the same ads at the same frequency just because the Tweets are ordered differently.

New World Concurrent Players
On a tangential note, I recently started wondering about how legal brothels work, where prostitution is legal, what do legal brothels charge, etc, and google was supremely unhelpful. I don't know if these things are just so shady they don't have websites, or I'm looking in e.g. Germany and it's not in English, but I imagine American sex tourism is probably decently sized market. Dunno. Strong suspicion the morality police were preventing me from sating my abstract curiosity about sex work.
Just because you're bored and in the know, doesn't a) mean the problem has gotten any better and isn't relevant and b) hasn't given others, newcomers a place to express their grievance. The fact that it still persists and still gets upvotes shows people aren't done and discussions of alternatives still need to be had.

I would not mind seeing how that setup is implemented!

The vast majority of the odd robotic cooking contraptions I've seen on YouTube have almost always been bespoke once-offs (eg, someone's homemade project). Something that actually scales and is cost-effective would very likely be constructed very differently, and likely genuinely interesting and insightful to observe.
