I think that interpretation is more on you than anything -- "sweet summer child" is not literally referring to a child but someone whose innocence or blissful ignorance hasn't been ruined by the can of worms they just opened.
Source reputation is an important heuristic for determining whether a given piece is content is likely to be spam. If a web property is demonstrated to be routinely publishing falsehoods to sway public opinion, you don't think that should factor into a site's reputation score?
Personally:

- lack of the entire article in the feed, Miniflux and some others try to download it if needed but does not work flawlessly;

- lack of RSS/atom support at all for few but not so few websites;

- long push against RSS by Big&Powerful that makes too many simply not anymore aware of it's existence, to a point that for many site that still have RSS finding the feed URL from the page source is the sole way to discover it.

The rest is far less dangerous IMVHO :-)

The best supporting data is the rise in no-click searches. See https://sparktoro.com/blog/in-2020-two-thirds-of-google-sear...

No-click searches continue to grow in share while google continues to adopt design that presents information outside a traditional link, like a weather widget or the fact you were looking for presented at the top in large text outside the scope of a link.

This suggests a growing share of searches weren’t looking for links in the first place, they were looking for information and when the search engine provided that information, the user left without clicking a link

The general term should be "greater fools schemes". Ponzi and Pyramid are just subtypes of this. There is also MLM and PnD which have their own characteristics. All of these involve finding more and more people to invest so that early investors can exit.

The reason why every greater fools scheme fails is that there is no net revenue (or too small to sustain the scheme). No matter the scheme, you will always run out of greater fools, and so it must collapse eventually.

> It is not transparent what kind of curations take place to return the results.

This is true for all search engines because it's literally impossible to return even half decent results if everyone knows your algorithm. It'll just be pages and pages of SEO nonsense. If you believed for even a second that search engines can exist without curating you haven't been thinking very hard. Not curating would only ensure that you see nothing but propaganda.
I think you're not correct, your timescale is just too short. Monetization happens in three phases, roughly.

First, it is the store-of-value phase. Anticipation of future value, based on past and present value, will cause people to hoard a good as a savings technique. Bitcoin is still in this phase. Usually when you say this on the internet, someone will come in and say "Oh, but Bitcoin's volatility makes it a poor store-of-value!" But again, it's short-sighted. Looking at the 200 WMA will easily demonstrate the store-of-value aspect of Bitcoin.

Second phase is "medium of exchange". This is the thing people always point to and say that Bitcoin has failed. But it hasn't failed, it just hasn't reached it yet. This phase is started when a good becomes valuable enough that merchants begin to demand or incentivize payments in the good. As you mentioned, there are accounting, tax and technological impediments currently that make it less convenient to accept Bitcoin payments. These will be overcome with time, however, as the impediments are eliminated, or the value of Bitcoin makes it economically worthwhile to transact anyway.

The final phase will be "unit of account". Once a Bitcoin circular economy starts, people will begin to think of prices in Bitcoin, instead of dollars, euros, etc.

This may sound far-fetched to skeptics, but I consider this to be a near guarantee to happen eventually. Bitcoin's network effects and unique balance of incentives more or less ensures that it can't be killed, that everyone is better off participating in the network or they will be worse off in the long run.
Twitter removes Russian embassy tweet on Mariupol hospital bombing
That comment shouldn't have aged well one nanosecond after it was posted.

Search results are bias. The entire idea of a "search engine" is to bias the set of all possible data in the crawled universe to select for the information you're searching for, then sort that information by "likeliest to be what you wanted" because the interface can't just cram all the results straight into your brain.

... and the company writing the search engine is always the final arbiter of what that means in implementation.

In this specific case, DDG is announcing they are aware of some sites where the information is likely to be untrue and they're downranking it on account of it being a datasource unlikely to deliver what the user wants. That's their job, in exactly the same sense that it's their job to figure out that when I search for "hacker news" I mean this site and not the r/hackernews Reddit mirror.
I hope that's true, because disallowing the tracking based business model completely would be a horrendous thing causing making it harder for people who aren't rich to be informed.
Same here. The "more information" gave the country name away.
This feels like added complexity to the runtime where the long term goal appears to make Javascript into a sort of opt-in Typescript runtime. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing - but it certainly means added complexity. That being said, npm is a mix of both so it's not like you can be exclusively javascript only anyway these days (you have to be able to read and understand typescript as they are dependencies)

Extending long term military, political, even economic security in face of declining/terminal demographics. It's an existential gamble for a bigger RU light cone. The alternative framing is there was much more to lose. RU is better off losing 20 years of progress than 200 years of future security. A few generations doomed to middle income is one of the milder calamity in terms of costly historical RU mistakes.

I think people overlook how rational the geopolitical calculus is, it's only shocking because eating so much short/medium term loss is counter to the interest of a "compromised" leader, i.e. one who has to answer to the public. My feeling is Putin has simply secured so much power that he can do what most leaders can not, pursue long term geopolitically maximizing gamble and survive it. I doubt he'll be deposed - no one wants to inherit this shitshow.

Also history rarely looks down on leaders who regain lost land, especially one of such cultural importance as UKR is to RU. If Putin can hold on to UKR, he'll have statues built of him for centuries and impartial historians 100 years from now will likely evaluate his conquest favorably.

In the meantime, the real question is ask what the west will lose not accommodating RU interests and maintaining sanctions comparable to a blockade. RU hasn't even began retaliating yet, they can (IMO will) extract disportionate cost from 40Trillion western block economy versus what the west block can punish a 1.5T RU economy.

I feel as if this describes the Chevy Spark.
Most of the cost of producing a car is in the design, sheetmetal tooling, dies, employee training, etc.--i.e. it's not all from just some circuit boards, knobs, and servo motors that drive all the fancy accessories. So a brand new designed and built from scratch hyper minimal car with no accessories would still cost $15k+ and be extremely hard to sell to the public.

In reality someone shopping for a car on a budget is just going to buy a few years used instead of cutting out all the accessories in an attempt to scrimp. So the unfortunate truth is that there is no market and no profitability for a purposefully minimal car.

The closest you will find are rental market and commercial fleet vehicles like basic sedans (Chevy Malibu), pickup trucks, and vans where the automakers know there is such high demand and guaranteed income that they don't need to pad them with extra frills.

Well that depends. If my position were that you have to act via "web-wide decisions" and "universal solutions", then I might conclude that my only options were to leave up all prank sites, including those damaging the usefulness of my search results, or remove everything including harmless parody accounts.

On the other hand, if I were to accept that it's valid to target individual sites or subsets of sites only as they become a problem, then I might conclude that removing this one troublesome prank site that is pointing my users to bad information does not require me to take action against random twitter parody accounts.
Dark Reader has 4 different themes. The default one does the job maybe 80% of the time, but whenever I encounter a site that looks a little wonky, I just click through the other 3 themes and one of them usually works much better. Then, I save that as the default theme for the site.

>Unfortunately, the alternatives to mainstream media (Q-idiots, Zero Hedge, Info Wars, random dude with an opinionated blog, some pot comedian's podcast, viral memes on facebook, etc)

The alternative to one source of dubious information is not another source of dubious information. The alternative is to have access to all sorts of information, and piece together what you think is true, using your own critical thinking skills and ability to sniff out BS.

That used to be the Internet. It is not the Internet anymore, since the Internet has, for the first time I can think of, decided that This One Particular Country is uniquely bad, for Reasons, and should therefore be unpersoned; and also has the ability to squelch any dissent because so much of the Internet has become siloed in big corporations. It's really weird, and I find it suspicious.

The US absolutely does things I don't like, a lot, but you know the old saying -- "compare me to the alternative, not the almighty." The only other superpower out there is China, a country actively committing genocide. The EU is a theoretical economic and regulatory superpower but won't ever be a full one because they don't have a strong military and depend on America's security guarantees. So maybe the US isn't a "good guy", but it seems like the best guy out of the ones to choose from.

Probably because, like software, everyone has a different idea of what the "bare minimum" looks like. For instance, I don't think that a radio is necessary in my "bare minimum" car - but I do want a battery charge indicator, which you didn't mention.

So, an automaker can either include neither of those two features (and neither of us will want that car), both of them (which makes it more expensive, and if you adopt the policy of "take the union of all of the bare minimums" then you have a normal car), or just a subset. You lose every way.

You don't have to google it. First of all, "pad" is not illogical, and it's arguably a more familiar word to non-native speakers than "extrude". Secondly, the tool's icon looks just like an extruded cube, so it's what you're likely to reach for first if you're just experimenting for the first time. It's also right next to the revolve tool, just like in SolidWorks. When you click on it you'll immediately see a preview of the extruded cube that you expected, so you did the right thing. And lastly, if the name of the pad tool bugs you a lot, you can submit a patch.

I'm following the progress. I don't like estimating release dates for other peoples' work, but I wouldn't be surprised if your EOY estimate is correct.

The biggest concern I have though, is that you can run as many testsnets as you want, but that doesn't mean the rollout is going to survive contact with the enemy. I'm very pessimistic that PoS can replace PoW in real-world usage. Once everyone is on the PoS ETH, I suspect that problems will eventually manifest, and either ETH will be forced to roll back to PoW, or there will be splits, and one of the PoW chains that splits off will supplant ETH in popularity.

I don't think this will happen immediately, but I think it's very likely to happen within a few years of ETH switching over to PoS.
