If you don't want an encyclopedic reference, you can read the first section on MDN and move on. It's about as long and to the point as the w3schools article, and has all the rest of the content if you want to dig further.

I don't think it should be blocked, but its content is almost always low quality, so it doesn't deserve the search rating it has. Its prominence is a strong symptom that search engines do not work very well.
That's very impressive! Just curious, on which kind of workload?
Sanctions compliance and anonymity are incompatible. Either accept that every purchase from a sex shop or a pharmacy is attributed to you on a public ledger, or accept that crypto-assets are real stores of value like cash or gold and you can not make them self-dictate who they are handed to.
Like all politically-charged terms, the original meaning has been long lost as the context in which it was coined is forgotten.

I think the term ‘virtue signalling’ was originally intended to point out a perceived hypocrisy - that it’s much easier to gain public support for an idea/cause/campaign if that campaign is perceived to be helping some disenfranchised group - even if the campaign also benefits the organizer, and even if the campaign is not necessarily wanted by some or even all of the allegedly-aggrieved group.
How exactly is it inherently adversarial? Isn’t what you’re saying also true to literally any for profit transaction?
I tried switching to DDG a few times over the past few years and always found that it got in my way, especially when working. So I usually got annoyed enough after a few weeks and switched back to google.

About two months ago, the opposite happened. Google gave me so much spam and advertising, the search got worse, now I ended up using DDG. It still sucks, for sure, but somehow it sucks less than google now.
I was treated extremely rudely for being American when I went to France in late 2003, and I totally understood why.

It seems too easy to say "uh discrimination is fine" when the only thing you have to fear is people being rude to you on vacation. If you face the loss of your livelihood, like the owner of a small Russian restaurant somewhat, I don't think you'd be as sanguine.
no, no - this is a real-estate Zillow thread BUT.. search for "pharma bros" and you will see this is not a fanciful example
I get it, you think it’s all a scam. You are free to believe that. The thousands of BTC nodes running in china right now beg to differ. I actually expect china to do a 180 degree policy shift mid year 2022.

The law is incapable of regulating a system like Bitcoin. This is by design. I know you don’t like that, but the cypherpunks know their enemy. The only misconception is thinking anyone can law this technology away. Only math and physics matters. The law is just human noise.
No. Google is an actively hostile experience. Try it without adblock and get a taste of how most people get treated by Google. And for the search results, Kagi is already better for 90% of my queries.

It's much more difficult now to build a competitive search engine, but saying it's impossible and discussions should be banned is toxic. (And already basically proven wrong with existing competing search engines.)

Are you sure?

As far as I remember Prosciutto di Parma has a proper disciplinary, the pigs must be bred in Italy, and not even all of it.
Not for long. Salt Lake City was one such city just 3-5 years ago. Now everything has doubled and it's almost as expensive as the trendier cities, without the higher-paying jobs.
We need a land value tax or at the very least higher property taxes. That would disincentivize people from speculating into housing. It's no surprise that cities with the highest home prices have some of the lowest effective property tax rates.
> No, it's the same. Dividends add into your adjusted gross income.

Qualified dividends (most dividends for most people from public US companies) are indeed taxed at a lower rate than income. That rate is 0% for up to $41k (single) or $83k (married filing jointly), and for almost everyone it will be lower than the marginal rate on income [0].

It goes into AGI on the tax form, but comes off again with the recalculation. If you have significant dividend income, you are missing out by not doing that calculation!

Check out Apparmor and SELinux.

You can for example make a profile for an app that says it can only access these files and write to these files, and forbid it to use the network.

You can also start an app using the root user (or any user), but run setuid in the app (source code) in order to drop privileges. For example, first read secret key files, then drop privileges to a user that can't write anywhere - before running the rest of the code.
This is common in web servers sunch as Nginx, you start with root, in order to read certificate keys, but the workers that accepts the requests and reads the files runs as the www user.
This is literally addressed in the second paragraph:

In electromagnetism and most other fields of physics, imaginary numbers are merely a mathematical convenience. All the relevant phenomena can still be described using nothing but real numbers.
I purchased five of his 6502 boards, assembled, to teach some programming classes and they have been wonderful. I only just stumbled on this full list of his work today and was blown away by how much he has done and I'm incredibly grateful that he has shared it with the world. If you get a chance to purchase something from him or use his designs I promise you won't be disappointed.
Dostoevsky as a Reason for War
Interesting. I was thinking of doing something similar, but replacing the other space bar with backspace. For me enter is a really easy key to reach, backspace is much farther. Either that or escape.
Because people stick with something thats "good enough".

The biggest barrier to any competitor for any product/service anywhere is a "good enough" incumbent.
The goals/motivations of the action is what matters here. Changing a few lines of code to state your stance on an issue won't cause any level of change whatsoever. It was clearly done to show which side of the war the author supported, more about the author than the conflict. A Canadian protestor that spent most of the time publishing their involvement on social media is virtue signaling, but one that merely occupied the capital is not. Saying "Let's go Brandon" is virtue signaling, unless the signal is meant only for your group, then it is dog whistling
Owning and having are not the same thing: you can have housing while renting it, receiving it as a gift from parents or your spouse, etc.
The NHTSA recognizes that large busses are not cars and use a different solution.

Large school buses are heavier and distribute crash forces differently than passenger cars and light trucks do. Because of these differences, bus passengers experience much less crash force than those in passenger cars, light trucks, and vans.

NHTSA decided the best way to provide crash protection to passengers of large school buses is through a concept called “compartmentalization.” This requires that the interior of large buses protect children without them needing to buckle up. Through compartmentalization, children are protected from crashes by strong, closely-spaced seats that have energy-absorbing seat backs.

Statistics bear this out, taking a school bus to school is about 70 times more likely to deliver a student safely. In this context, 70 is huge.
By the end of the article, this is full-on marketing the OPs product, so be aware of that when thinking about how the problem and solution are framed.

It's an interesting question though. I think the answer is that most people don't really care? The bubble we live in is filled with other people who, like us , are very knowledgeable about this domain, pay attention to what's going on behind the scenes, and have very strong opinions on it. 99% of the rest of the world doesn't give the quality and nature of Google search a second thought.
My country has enemies that believe “supernatural forces” will reward them if they give their lives (even their infant lives) in a fight to destroy all post-Roman civilizations.

The ONLY proven way to deal with fanatics (that use suicide as a weapon) is with “shock-and-awe” (as best demonstrated against “The Empire of the Sun” in Nagasaki and Hiroshima). When infants are killed like that, it’s not “to bring democracy,” but to prevent attacks on all post-Roman civilization, democratic or not.

But such “shock-and-awe” has opposite effect on civilized people. Patrick Henry said “Give me Liberty, or give me death” and Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Where Putin went wrong is he gave into a supernatural belief that because Russia is a name on an ancient empire of people and it is a name of his country in 2022, he is obligated to recreate the empire. Russian people in 2022 will have to give their lives until a bullet is in his brain, or they will be cutoff totally from the rest of the World. It is also a necessary demonstration for China and DPRK, so there will be no compromise or payment of nuclear blackmail.
I recently read Eager (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40526225-eager) which is an amazing book about the tide turning on Beavers in North America.
I never said or implied to act adversarial toward management. I have respected my last 5 managers and still meet them for lunch when I get the chance. I became friends with two of my former managers after leaving the company.

Let’s talk about the “glass ceiling”. I’ll start off with the corp dev side of the world where most people work.

I know a few guys who are in their late 40s (as am I) who eschewed management and have been moving around between various corp dev jobs for 20 years and have kept their skills up. They have never made more than the mid $100s. They have wives that are working. Their wives are making between $70K and mid to high 100s. They live in a major city in the south. Do you know how far that can go making $250K+ in most cities? You are already well within the top decile of households[1].

Now let’s look on the BigTech side. A returning intern I mentored last year, got a return offer making $150K (consulting department). They can live anywhere in the US. They are already earning more than 92% of individuals in the US.

On a more personal note, I was a senior corp dev bopping around between unknown companies like the first set of developers until 2020. I fell into a role into the cloud consulting department in BigTech. I still work remotely making about what an SDE2 makes. Guess how much I’m stressing about becoming even a “senior consultant”?

Those friends in corp dev could easily get a job as at least an SA working where I work. But they weren’t interested. Once you have “enough” making more money and promotions isn’t that important.

As the 74 implies, I was also around during the bubble. It wasn’t that bad working in regular old corp dev where you were just another employee at a profitable company. Even then I was making $70K in 2000 - twice the individual income at the time.

Suggestion: the Share form should perform an invite. Instead it tells me "This email address does not belong to a registered user account". Makes recruiting your friends and family a bit tougher!
We should pay them out the siezed Russian assets. That won't be enough, but it will be a start.
I'm not using it directly. Have been using DDG for about 10 years now.
Fair enough, but it is hard to find the next Burry or Buffett!
> Honestly I think people are completely underestimating the difficulty of a good search engine.

No, they are underestimating the difficulty of funding a good search engine.

I liked the runnaroo search very much as did several of my friends. The guy who ran it couldn't fund it. He shut it down.

Altavista (Yeah, that far back) had a nice feature where it would draw a cluster graph of your search results. So, if you searched for "python", it would show your results but would also draw a little graph and you could see that "Hey, there are two clusters here--programming and reptiles." You could then click on the "programming" node and the "reptiles" cluster would go away. It allowed you to drill through irrelevant stuff really quickly.

Note how that feature doesn't exist today--in spite of orders of magnitude more programmers being thrown at search, graph algorithms, and nifty Javascript web UIs. I wonder why ...

(/sarcasm in case you missed it. I don't wonder why. Such a feature would let you drill through irrelevant Ad and SEO garbage too quickly and would impact Google's revenue.)
> When I was a kid (in the early 2000's) it was exceptionally easy to crack public wifi networks

But you're not a kid anymore and nowadays it's way harder to crack public wifi networks.

Fearmongering by VPN vendors is very real.

I wouldn't have a problem browsing my home banking on a public wifi network. Everything is tls-encrypted, my browser can do dns-over-https, and anything important (including the login) requires me to enter an one-time code from my non-smart token.

And by the way, on a public wifi you might be pray of the occasional wifi attacker where as if you're using a vpn from a vpn vendor you're by definition giving all your traffic to a company whose main specialty is networking, usually under the vague promise not to log your traffic.
Do you mind detailing your setup? Do you use guix home? How do you manage personal data?
Hello, author here. I do think the open source licence is framed to be non-discriminatory and I think that’s not a bad thing. Discrimination lends itself to politicisation and in turn division. And I think an ecosystem where we have lots of division is not good. What would happen if two interdependent projects suddenly had conflicting political requirements?
I think that with current technology, beating google at the scale they run at is impossible. I think with advances it NLP, its possible. But right now, its pie in the sky.

From the article:
"Despite the incendiary rhetoric that the government used to justify these executions, many charges didn’t merit the death penalty under Saudi law and often didn’t even merit arrest..."
No, it's discrimination against anyone with a Russian IP address, as clearly described in the article.
I receive his daily blog post via email, so I have read a lot of his comments about "outliners" and how wonderful they are. It always leaves me scratching my head; I mean, doesn't MS Word (and MS Excel, for that matter) have outlining capabilities built-in? How many different ways are there to construct an outline?
In many of the most common situations - they just don't matter that much on a school bus.

The bus is generally the largest vehicle on the road, and an impact from a car (or even pickup truck/suv) is unlikely to significantly move the bus. Plus - the sit very high, and impacts tend to drive the other vehicle down - rather than moving the body of the bus.

The only situation they really are useful is when the bus rolls, and for buses that aren't driving highway speeds (which is most of them), they almost never roll (the only exception is essentially driver error - where the bus leaves the road on slope)
Sure. As the saying goes "the plural of anecdote is not data." And that goes as much for specific stories about sympathetic landlords suffering from abusive tenants as vice versa.

How would we find out what the systemic pattern is? Maybe we'd compile relevant court records and outcomes. Maybe we'd collect information from tax filings.

Or maybe we'd make bare assertions on HN.
I think that as somebody's already commented - having people send email to both legal@1password.com as well as to support@1password.com may be the best option here.

This represents an involuntary migration of customers who purchased a license to 1Password6 to REQUIRE them to upgrade to 1Passwords SaaS offering -- evidently through no fault of 1Password, since it's actually on Google for changing how the signing of the binaries changed.

I've added my email to the list of messages sent over to 1password.

DON'T BE RUDE in your email to them - I'm sure that they're frustrated with the change as well, but you also have to admit that they have a business to run.

a price break, and this unfortunate turn of events, might just be that final tipping point where I finally upgrade to get features that I don't want. :(
The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Both arguments to the contrary that you've advanced, (1) that it doesn't create any more evil & (2) that any non-evil side effects are justified because of moral and/or utilitarian superiority, are slippery slopes to moral absolution of any reaction.

An action can be just, and right, and practical, and the best available option... but still be evil.

And the difference between being a despotic megalomaniac is equal parts actions undertaken and honesty about those actions.

The US is shipping weapons to Ukraine to kill Russian soldiers. I support this and believe it to be the best action possible, but I also deeply and resolutely believe it's evil.
This makes sense for some subset. It doesn't make sense for large enterprise HR software, financial ERP software, prison management software, anything where lots of people use it in an administrative manner and it is by nature boring.
What I am trying to explain is that "Slava Ukraine! Heroyam Slava!" is a direct calque from the German "Heil Hitler! Sieg Heil!".

"Slava" literally means "Heil" ("hail" in English). "Hitler" is replaced with "Ukraine" and "Sieg" (victory) with "Heroyam" (heroes).

This salute was coined and popularized by Ukrainian Nazi collaborators during WW2.

Now it's up to you to decide whether everyone that uses the phrase Heil Hitler (Long live Hitler) is also a Nazi or not.
TCOs for individual consumers will be vastly different depending on the parameters of the situation, with particular impact driven by volume of miles driven annually.

Due to this, commercial fleets in my view have a much clearer picture here than personal vehicle decisions. This is also particularly driven by personal vehicle purchases being driven less by “TCO” in a strict sense but rather “what is my monthly payment”.
For me it depends on what that subscription entails. Personally I only pay for the Jetbrains toolbox because it also includes a rolling perpetual license so if I ever do walk away from it I'm not leaving the software behind, just updates.
School busses have a ton of safety features -- just with a different strategy than is applied to cars. Part of the reason many don't have seat belts is because they are also designed to have safety features that work without seatbelts. The passengers are rowdy kids who might not always wear their seatbelts, so while adding them might increase protection in some cases, a safety design that primarily relies on seatbelts might not actually be a great idea.

US school busses are heavy and sit very high. Busses can be hit by cars with little force imparted to the occupants. The most dangerous thing about school busses is the risk it poses to the other drivers that hit it: https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Cra...
That's a ridiculous statement. Of course it's something to patch.
Pale Moon is very hostile to packagers and distros, threatening them with lawsuits within the first few messages of a conversation. I wouldn't want to give a userbase to them if they treat people like that.
I'm almost interested to backtrace and find out exactly when "algorithm" became the accepted abbreviation for "recommendation algorithm". Almost, but not quite.

Also, whenever I see anything about legislators trying to make laws about what can and can't be done to "children's accounts" online, I laugh. Surely no child would ever be able to click the "I am over 18" checkbox unless they were truly over 18, right? Nah, couldn't happen.

I think in some countries, those sites require a governmental ID number to prove your age or something, but... how hard is it for a kid to peek at their parent's card, or for a parent to make an account for a kid to use? Expecting any internet service can tell whether a child is currently using any given account is ridiculous without serious data collection and privacy violations.
I use TripIt for multi-person travel itineraries. It does allow for sharing and multiple contributors. It is not necessarily for getting consensus on activities, but for centralizing all of your confirmed plans in one place.
Now every range over your set is likely to be a bug. `map[T]bool` is simply a bad design to use.
I think only the very new ones do; they now sell Keyboards running QMK, which definitely would allow it, but they don't have a TKL option there yet.

Mine just has a switch to toggle between mac and windows layouts.
All I know is that I've fed bing some of the most obscure keywords to find what I'm looking for and it's been like "oh I know exactly the video you're looking for I've got you".
Liberals can break laws just like conservatives can. Free country
Critically thinking - If that was the case this wouldn't have been fought in court.

A few google searches show the effect is minor to major depending on product category. I wasn't able to find exact numbers. But as a personal note I would never buy meat labeled "Made in China"
Also, the internet is a far better and worse place than it was 10 years ago. So much more content, but astronomically more bad actors.

I assume the rationale is that it's are supposed to be an indicator of the actual value of the property at a point in time, not the accuracy of their algorithm at that point in time. So if they update with new information, it's assumed that instead of the price suddenly jumping (which looks very odd if you're trying to understand a local property market), the original snapshots are assumed to have been wrong
> I'm curious how people evaluate them quickly.

Are there search benchmarks to be found somewhere?

There must be. If you want to write a search engine, you need a way to validate the results.
Check out their FAQ at https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/ for a more technical look at the changes they made.
I'll also add to this. From my experience in the military, there were often times when the PowerPoint presentations fell victim to over-simplification as individuals omitted important details that were difficult to break down — instead leaning on the talking points that were easier to list.
I've used to write my queries in pgAdmin or VSCode.

I downloaded DataGrip after reading your comment, and damn, the autocomplete is just so good. It even shows me the arguments of Postgresql extensions like TimescaleDB.
