Great advice - all of it. I like that you included how you dress matters, along with being nice and having empathy! :) I've learned this, too. Unless you're a billionaire who can get away with a hoodie and socks/sandals as a work outfit, dressing to aim for the level you want to achieve is always a good strategy. It will make you stand out in people's minds. Just like you can't see the outside of a house when you're living inside it, you can't see the impression you're making on others and how much of that is visual. It's probably more than you think.
Spam is only hard if you're accepting low-quality content and not pruning it heavily. But Google can handle the scale of the spam, they just don't want to reduce it because the spam increases their ad real-estate. That's one theory, the other I would argue is that once you peel away the genuine spam and the blogspam, there really isn't much content left on the web (besides a small handful of big sites like Reddit) and Google knows this.

If that is not their business goal, perhaps the GDPR needs to be strengthened and strongly enforced until it is.

The doctor who is mentioned does likely belong to the Parsi community of India.

The Parsis came from Iran to India to flee Islamic persecution. And they are among the "model minorities" in India.

There are many famous people with occupational last names. But I don’t know why. Did they not have last names originally?

Last name convention in India varies wildly. Bengalis, Marathis, Hindustanis go with the family last name. Many Muslims do not. They can choose among Ali, Sheikh, Mian, etc. South Indians often put their father's name as last name.

Did Parsis have none? I wonder.

Farokh Engineer [0] was a famous Indian cricketer.

I have even heard of names like Daruwala (seller of alcohol), Screwwala (screws), etc. IRL.

The wildest one that I have heard is SodaBottleOpenerWala [1]. Wala just means "having". So a seller of X would be X-wala [1a].

The Parsis are a influential minority who enjoy a good perception from the population. Homi Bhaba, FRS [2] was the father of Indian Nuclear Science. Sam Maneckshaw [3] was a legendary Field Marshal who helped liberate Bangladesh from Pakistan. Ratan Tata is the leader of Tata Group in India. They own Jaguar Land Rover brand.

Parsis were, and still somewhat are in prominent positions of Bollywood, science, military, and definitely industry.

The reason this can be superior to desk computing is that it gives you more vertical space. Desk computing removes the lower half of your vertical space because of the desk.

Imagine in the future, the desk surface is also a screen, we can put some supporting apps like calendar, notebook, todo list, etc. on the desk. That will be really nice. In his setup, he can literally add another screen by laying another TV on the floor.

I got fussed at at a Whole Foods for taking pictures in the supplements section. I wanted to get a sense of what was available and go home and research the differences between the brands. Apparently there was a "no photography" sign on the door, though!

So I went somewhere else to buy what I needed. Fine. But I was always confused about what exactly it was that was so sensitive about their shelves.

I guess it was this -- competitor research.
My only complaint is that I can’t put my email in to get updates.

Some of the content on there is, however, fairly obvious clickbait, but there's also a super easy (working!) 'not interested' button in there.
I see what you're saying. I agree, if it helps break the ice or is the "introduction" for further conversation, then it serves an important purpose. Even in the case of maintaining some kind of friendliness with a neighbour, that serves a purpose too, I suppose.
That is certainly a political decision that can be made, I agree and would actually be happy about that.

If that happens, I am sure Amazon will invest the time and money to comply with that. At the same time it will put many smaller business out of business though, as they do not have the resources to do that.

Worth the full watch on video media money. But tldw; TikTok splits a pot of money over the views each video gets. The pot doesn't grow with the revenue they make or total views, so it's pretty exploitative.
Excellent advice! :)
well, yeah Liechtenstein has nearly 7 billion, California has 3 trillion.
Sorry, it was slightly in jest.

I'm actually in uni at the moment doing a law/science double, so I'm around a lot of 20-23 year olds, many of whom are formidably smart, and much smarter than I. I do, however, think that 25s and under as a generation have a serious attention problem as a result of all the notifications and constant phone spam they get. For those at the top of the bell curve it's manageable (frankly I've seen students at the very top of my Law cohort successfully multitask in ways that conventional neuroscience says unequivocally are impossible), but I do have serious concerns about the rest of them. That inability to think deeply or to properly focus for any real length of time on things is going to be something that we as a species will have to grapple with in the next decade, and I think the effects are going to be terrible. That isn't to say that people over 25, or 45 for that matter, can't be or aren't affected by their phones, but the younger generation has never lived without these kinds of devices around them 24/7 vibrating and lighting up, so I think it's especially deleterious and problematic for them.
Don't forget being near the car with your key is enough to be "unlocked". Ditch your fob inside and try it.
My thoughts as well. This looks like an ergonomic nightmare.
The people in this thread, who are very unimpressed by the tiktok algorithm, should try to disable their privacy guard and let tiktok gather the data before judging it. I suspect that a lot of people have all the privacy features enabled on their devices. And, that's why they can't relate to the general population's addiction of tiktok.
I think that's a good point. Google knows nobody is reasonably able to do better. So they are free to optimize for ad revenue, and leave organic search "just good enough" to stave off anyone else.

In fact, great organic search could lower ad revenue. I imagine there's some balance there.

I think that instead of condemning Russians for allowing Putin's regime to grow, an Estonian like you should be a little grateful that there were enough democracy-leaning Russians in 1980s who had weakened the soviet empire so that the other republics could slip away and have their chance of freedom. Some took it, like Baltic states, some turned into classical sultanates, some remain a battleground. The Russians, however, had to bear with all the KGB apparatus which remained firm in its place, and after enduring economic hardships of the 90s were feeling they were cheated by everyone. So no wonder that an upsurge in oil prices in the early 00s helped to create a calm and positive atmosphere, where the gradual deterioration of the democracy institutions went almost unnoticed. And actually it was unnoticed not only by Russians, but by everyone else: President Buss was Putin's 'friend', Germany chancellor ended up on a Gazprom board, the Queen was visiting Russia, etc., all was nice and fluffy. And let's not forget that the real funders of Putin's aggression are buyers of his energy exports, and they do this to this very moment, on the 30 odd day of the war, even having an exemption from Swift cutoff just to pay for it! But of course UI designers can no longer have their Figma access, that would be supporting Putin's regime.

Regarding the estonian company - I don't even know why exactly Ionos sent me a discontinuation of service notice. I operate my business with a company based in Estonia - mostly to NOT pay taxes to Putin's criminal regime - and hosting was invoiced to that company, and paid with that company's funds. So how they even arrived to a conclusion that I'm a customer from russia is rather interesting.
I am trying to be neutral here.

There are some people who think that humanity should reach its maximum potential as quickly as possible and that we must make sacrifices along the way, even if it means dooming other life forms (including humans) into misery. That misery then acts as a deterrent, nobody wants to be poor because it means homelessness or starvation, so everyone tries their best and works as hard as they can.

There are some people who think that humanity is doing pretty well, they are not against further improvement but they prefer preservation of humanity, even if it means not living up to its theoretical potential because sustainability is inefficient over the short term. The goal should be to make sure that everyone benefits from societies' progress to the extent that they want to benefit, which in theory should eradicate homelessness and starvation as nobody is willingly risking death.

Let's call the first system capitalism and the second one socialism (not necessarily inspired by marx).

There are two obvious problems. Humans are lazy creatures, economists that postulate that human wants and needs are infinite are kind of wrong. There are lots of humans who basically do nothing but watch TV. The stereotypical "welfare parasite" shouldn't even be able to exist as he is obviously going against his own interests of being unable to satisfy his unlimited needs. So the argument that capitalists make, is that lazy humans have to be whipped into shape and motivated. However, if the capitalists go too far and overexert their workforce or destroy the environment, capitalism will become less effective over the long term. An optimal system would be hard working when there is lots of work to do and lazy when there isn't much to do. It can't be stuck in either state or maybe it needs to do both simultaneously.

In my opinion, the next step that we should take is to remove the dependence on economic growth to keep the economy stable. If growth happens, that's great, but we shouldn't force it. We need to make small steps toward the right direction. Nobody on this planet needs a big step, e.g. a Marxist revolution, etc.
Russian troops Are stealing civilian phones to call their families in Russia
Ultimately I think it’s because the internet is just too big! Google were only able to do it because they had the right algorithm early in the age of the internet. They were then able to grow with it to achieve the scale required. Starting from scratch now on a general internet search engine would be close to impossible without 10s, if not 100s, billions of investment. And you would need that to build the index before even beginning to be competitive. No one is making bets that big on search, especially when the online advertising industry (which is the only way to fund it currently) is in danger of massive regulation.

I think there is massive opportunity for domain specific search engines though, imagine a search engine specifically designed for software engineers and developers, or one for academic research (not just papers but all online scientific content, news and discussion), or one targeting the arts. I think it’s these verticals that could be incredible.

You then potentially move towards a building “meta” search engines (if your are older than about 35 you will remember these) that work out what you are searching for and uses a domain specific engine.

Edit:

Just to add to this, people who say that “decentralised” search engines are the only way to compete with Google are not completely wrong, it’s just that it’s not about protocols and distributed indexes. It’s about a community of smaller search engines working within specific domains and collaborating (commercially) on meta search engines, prompting people to search on each others engines if it would be better for that search.

We almost need an “Open Search Co-Op” which smaller search engines can join to share technology and refers users to each other.

Just an aside: Audiophiles are not a homogeneous group because different people value different sonic phenomena. As you likely know, language largely fails to describe such things, and thus there is much debate over the whole endeavor to begin with. Odd that such controversy doesn't arise with sibling human senses such as taste, but humans gonna be human. So it goes.

1. Nothing here has any impact on what people in Mainland China believe or what the CCP tells them to believe
2. None of this is out-of-your-mind crazy, and totally believable to find something like this in the timeframe they found it in(40k BP is after the "accepted" Out-Of-Africa theory date).

Of course the CCP propagandizes everything they can so something like this is denoted as "In China"(to hilariously draw connections between them and people who were no probably no more Chinese than you or I.) If you are familiar with this topic(Stone Age technology) you could probably think of sites 60k+ years older than this one in Africa or the Levant that are significantly more interesting than this one, but it's still news worthy.

I always thought that people are afraid of AGI for the very reason of knowing how they treat beings of lesser intelligence, hence the popularity of movies like the matrix - because that is what we'd (presumably) do if we were in their position.
This sounds trivial but it's such good advice. When you're young you don't want to be seen wearing hearing protection. I was a pop music critic when I was younger, and only wore ear protection a little more than half the time I was at a loud concert, which was often. Now I have tinnitus in my 50s. Don't be afraid to look uncool. The orange, tapered ear plugs are the best. Get them on Amazon. They're often not sold in drug stores.
Okay, I had this issue today and looked it up. Sure enough the term I had to quote and add a plus sign infront of was in the linked page after clicking through.

But that's it, it was just "there" near the bottom. They put in all this fancy AI understanding and ML and NLP effort but when I go out of my way to tell the search that "this word right here is super important and critical", they just go ahead and append "page.includes(word)" as a filter to their super algorithm. Instead of using that signal to drive the search. No better than when sites used to stuff their html pages with keywords to trick search engines.

#grumpy
Actually, I don't think that search is winner-takes-all. Rather the piece that is winner-takes-all is monetization of search through advertising. Because advertising networks are winner-takes-all. ...so the path forward leads through monetizing search in a way other than through advertising. And this is precisely what the next generation of challengers like Neeva and Kagi are doing. Another alternative might be public funding.

I basically just wanted an excuse to create something fun this weekend. I struggled to find a very simple to use app where I could just start writing for the sake of writing. Some other problems I have:

1. Full text indexing isn't great on many of these writing apps (not like I have that right now though lol)
2. Using google docs at night melts my eyes
3. Other writing apps focus too much on publishing, which detracts from writing
4. I want more tools to eventually help me write (no idea what this means)

You realise that even Lenin, piece of human filth that he was, didn't consider the USSR to be communism? That's just not what the word means. The USSR was (pick one):

- A Marxist-Leninist state

- State capitalism

- Bolshevism

I don't care much about the terminology, but I do care about people making out that most left-wingers want more USSR. I mean, I'm an anarchist, so if I were alive in the USSR I'd be murdered, so that should tell you the level of friendliness between those people and libertarian socialists.

The Google hate is so thick that people don't even think about what a Google competitor or replacement (that isn't Google rebranded) looks like. No user is looking to pass around configuration file, or have discoverability issues because they haven't joined the right community that has what they are looking for. People want an omnibox that takes them to what they are looking for, even if they don't know what that is, full stop. Needing to essentially have a Makefile to find out "Who is the main actor in Spider-Man" is dead on arrival.
For search I think a big issue is you can’t crawl the web like you used to. Cloud flare and others have made that difficult.
