I think that framing is missing some nuance. Seems more like they would be charging for the process that goes into sifting through those results and pulling out other people's work on the user's behalf.
>tech savvy people who tend to mute notification, run ad blockers and block email marketing may not realize how much average consumers respond to that kind of thing.

Or may not realize how much they respond themselves.

But yes, whether B2C or B2B there's a huge amount of marketing machinery that's needed to reach customers at various stages of the "buyer's journey" through a variety of channels--and to make anyone involved in sales more effective.

In your first comment, you say you want high information density. In this one, you say if there are irrelevant results on Google, you'll just ignore them and scroll past.

I get that there's always a high bar to switch to a new tool, and Google obviously has certain advantages that are tough to replicate, but it seems like you're applying a bit of a double standard. If Google shows me a bunch of ads and irrelevant results that I have to parse through to find what I'm looking for, that's not high information density; it's quite the opposite.
I'm running into an error using https://www.sncf-connect.com/app/home/search, no matter what I enter in. The last 3 times I took the trip (pre-COVID mind you, and maybe not booked a whole month in advance), that was the price.

edit: works in Chrome, here are the trips exactly 1 month from now (August 6): 65€ 6am, 65€ 7:13am, 116€ 7:39am, 116€ 9:36am, 116€ 10:39am. A month and a half or two months advance seem to be required now, how bad we think it is is up to debate but it's definitely worse than when I commuted regularly, 2009-2011.
I agree, please don't just accept the optimization and sweep the GIL removal under the rug again.

From time to time, Firefox Developer will prompt you to "get a fresh experience" by resetting all the settings to their defaults. It still requires the user to say "Golly, sure!" and click the button, but it resets everything.

If you're paying just the slightest bit of attention, you don't click that button.
By that standard, ~50-60% of the restaurant industry shouldn't exist.

Which, honestly, maybe it shouldn't.
Not in CPython it isn't. Threading in CPython doesn't allow 2 threads to run concurrently (because of GIL). As GP correctly stated, you need multiprocessing (in CPython) for concurrency.
I ran windows, we had Telnet. Right-click and view source was the main way I learned things.
There's a lot of platforms that do sort of related things, so it's a hard thing to answer. For "finding a job" I've been looking at HN, remoteok, and a bunch of others. For professional networking I use various tools run by former coworkers (mostly Slack and Google Groups). For "blogs" I use HN and Reddit. etc. I don't think LinkedIn does any of those better (my perception, I'm not a current user).

Personally, I'm probably not interested in a LI clone for many of the reasons I stopped using LI. I deleted my LI account maybe 8 years ago, after getting too much spam (and I think some security issue?)
Ah, I was under the impression that it had stopped. That makes more sense.

Amazon is a very decentralized company. Which means that Amazon's thousands of recruiters are all operating independently of each other, and have minimal systems/regulations to prevent multiple recruiters contacting the same person. The different recruiters are often recruiting for different teams/divisions as well, so if you're open to joining Amazon, you should certainly talk to a recruiter whose team matches your interests.

You haven't been paying attention. Many tech companies have been protecting accounts from state attackers for many years, and explicitly calling out state sponsored attacks. Google introduced state-sponsored attack warnings in 2012 [1] and the Advanced Protection program explicitly protects from state sponsored attacks [2].

From reading their Wikipedia quickly sounds like BIS has a similar function to say the IMF when it comes to financial system stability. I do agree these sorts of organizations exert huge amounts of influence, especially for smaller countries that are dependent on loans and outside financing, but I'm not sure I agree they are more powerful than a nation itself. A nation can (theoretically) decide to opt out from these systems and operate independently, or can play different parties funded by nations (because in the end they all are working for someone's agenda) off of one another as many countries did during the cold war between the U.S. and Soviet Union. But if a nation reneges on its debt, the BIS, IMF, etc. isn't going to invade your country--one of it's creditor nations might, but not them.

This does not seem to disable JS altogether, only JS JIT compilation. IIUC, JS will still be executed, although via an interpreter (which is safer) rather than via compiled machine code (which might be used to exploit memory safety bugs such as type confusion, somewhat frequent on the JS side).

My friends and I have moved away from SoC because the haggling that arises takes forever. Ticket to Ride scratches a similar itch with planning and competing over resources (train lines, cards) but gives each player a single action per turn so it moves much quicker.

Many of the castles (“Kracs”) used by the Crusaders still exist. They were used as military forts during the recent war.

If governments would tax gasoline and oil more than they do today then people would drive less and buy more fuel efficient cars.

Car manufacturers would build more fuel efficient cars as that is then what consumers want.

The oil companies would sell less oil and less CO2 is released.

The government could invest the extra tax income on subsidizing electric cars, and fuel efficient cars (and penalize and tax cars that consume a lot), solar panel installations, wind power etc.

More fuel efficient and electric cars come to market. Even less oil is used.

Oil companies will start to put their huge yearly investments into renewable energy instead of oil exploration as it will be more profitable (or at least as profitable as oil used to be).

And we have a positive feedback loop.

Governments just need to give more incentives to consumers, and indirectly to car manufacturers and oil companies, to make the right choices.

Thanks to the war (as unfortunate as the war is) we are going in the right direction. Unless the politicians screw up again and reduce the taxes on oil.
Do hardware research. I mean just look into workstation boards and the CPUs and the drives and all that and see how much it costs to put together yourself. If you don't need support and warranty then you might not even need it to come pre-built.

You just need one mega machine from the sounds of it and 40K seems like way more than enough to throw together a system that has a remote management capable mobo and all that compute power and drive storage.

Good thing HDDs do not cost that much at all

Also, it sounds like you want this... For yourself? At your own place? At your own building? Where will this be used and who is paying? That factors into this.
You said:

> Early last year I was getting 2% per month on USDC/DAI and about 1% per month on USDC/EURS. Even today one can get a lot more than you'd get on a savings account.

I don't understand why you compared USDC's return to a savings account's if you didn't mean that USDC is a better investment than a savings account.

> - Compared with money in a bank? No.

Yes you did, above.

> - Did I say it was without risks? No.

> - Would I tell people to take money from their savings and do this? No, of course not.

Then it makes no sense to compare USDC to a savings account. The risks are much higher.

> - Could some whale come, put a bunch of liquidity in a pool and keep it only while the profitability is higher than the savings account? Shouldn't that count as a "arbitrage opportunity"? No, because there are costs to on-and-off ramp, there are risks associated with crypto and if you want to do that kind of arb, you'd be better off my looking into crypto money markets - which also have its own risk/reward profile.

But all arbitrage is risky, that's not against the definition and neither are on/off-ramp fees. Even if you're "better off" doing something else by your criteria, the opportunity is still there.

Edit: not to be too pedantic but:

> - Is that the same as "arbitrage"? Not exactly. Liquidity providers make money even if all they are doing is to buy and sell tokens that keep a peg to the USD. The issue here is that flooding the pool with more cash is diluting the profitability.

You're getting dollars somewhere and selling them where you will get more money for it. The opportunity goes lower as more people use it. Still sounds like an arbitrage to me, or something that's functionally the same.
Security has never been "Secure or not" proposition, it's always a balance between convenience and safety against threats, threats that change depending on who you are, and who is targeting you.

Some features are (understandably) almost impossible to make very safe. Take PDF viewing for example, the entire thing is so huge, that it's bound to be holes in any implementation, just like what the NSO proved some time ago with the iMessage exploit.

I take this effort as something similar to the "Hardened Linux" effort. Just that it exists doesn't mean that Linux is "unsecure", it just means that if you really need to, there is more steps you can take to make it even more secure. Just like what Apple is doing here.

Not true. Premature optimization is the root of all evil. You first write clean code, and then you profile and optimize. I refer you to the underlyings of dicts through the years (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw4s1QTmPg) as an example of that optimization taking years of incremental changes. Once you see the current version it's easy to claim that you would have get to the current and best version in the first place, as obvious as it looks in hindsight.
Sure, but I don't believe anyone advocated switching to jquery (or, a few years later, getting rid of it) consciously thinking it was a useless thing to do; and similarly I don't believe any biz person introduces a process thinking, "haha this will help widen the bureaucratic moat around my team".

The truth is, a lot of those people spend a lot of time trying to streamline processes and remove bureaucracy, and if they didn't, it'd be even worse.
Same! UnderArmor XLT shirts are so nice....
> FB doesn't have those problems because they use different tools.

Exactly - instead of using microservice-oriented tools, they use tools organized around monoliths. And that decision serves them well. That's the whole point.
Aaaaand they got it completely backwards.

The neighborhoods are not made safe by the number of people walking their dogs.

It's neighborhoods that are already safe and more affluent that make it possible for more people to even have dogs (let alone care for them enough to take them for regular walks), and feel safe walking dogs (and also why there is a higher level of trust).
I completely agree--it absolutely is a fundamental disagreement! It's also why "but why won't people use IRC?" is misguided. I won't use IRC because I don't value what it does anymore. I valued it a lot more when almost everyone I talked to was as much of a computer nerd as I am--that's no longer the case and the computer-nerdy parts of my life are complementary pieces rather than core ones now, so I want different things.

The idea that IRC might be better was why I clicked on this thread in the first place, before I really parsed the srht part of it, 'cause my values absolutely do not overlap with theirs. (Which is fine. Like what you like!)

I'm of the opinion that this should be allowed - when it's a direct interaction between the purchaser and seller.

Any purchaser has the right to contact any seller and say I'll give you N*$ORIGINAL_PRICE to try to purchase something out of line. I'll agree that there's nothing wrong with reselling something you purchased, at whatever price you can - as long as it wasn't purchased specifically for that purpose, and _especially_ as long as automation wasn't involved.

Most (if not all) browsers allow you to disable JS, so that seems like the perfect preference for you. I know it works on Chrome and Firefox on desktop (I use the NoScript extension myself, that blocks JS by default but allows you to enable it per-site), I can imagine it works the same on smartphones as well.
