> More helpful product reviews written by experts

This translates to "more YT videos made by our content-creators", right? Searching for "macbook pro m2 reviews" gives me 5 YT videos at the top, all repeating the same stuff over and over again and (no offense) made by people who aren't really experts. Or are they?
Same here. For more niche stuff, <product name> + "site:news.ycombinator.com" is standard practice. Or Algolia's HN search.

Another one is <product name> + "forum" or <product name> + <some trusted forum>.

I train myself to use DDG, but, to my own dissapointment, I end up with "!g <query> site:something-trustworthy.com" way too often.

For regular Google searches, I've had the feeling of being "scammed" for years, though. The "fishing devil" on the no-results page also feels like buttering up the user. I always subconsciously interpret this as a lightly humiliating, but cowardly way to say "we decide what you see, bro". But, YMMV.

Never wanted to bash anybody, but this has got to be the most negative post I've ever written on HN. Please, please, please, Google, give me the search results of around 2008-2010. Pages, pages, pages of results for almost any query. I worked as a journalist then, and googling was actually useful, even educational, in real life.

If they didn't drink the whisky it would have burned down more houses those people are true Irish heros.
There is actually a lot of building going on in Wanaka in general, and in neighboring Hawea and Albert Town, so I believe the local council is willing to approve the right structure in an undeveloped area, at least in principle. There is also another lodge called Edgewater that is not too far from Thiel's proposed development site. So it's not impossible that something eventually gets approved after some iterations.

Put aside Thiel's reputation. The difference between what the council is approving and Thiel's lodge, is that the developments being approved have a certain architectural style. The style features lots of open spaces, compartmentalized sections within houses, and large glass doors. The local counsel feels this blends in better with the surrounding area. You can see an example of this kind of Wanaka architecture here: https://www.masonandwales.com/work/beacon-point-house.

Now I don't know if the local council would approve any building at all in Thiel's proposed site, but I do know they physically walked by to see what the proposal would look like from the track by the lake -- so they definitely took the proposal seriously. This may be something that eventually gets approved, but with a different architecture and more muted footprint, and possibly on a slightly different location on the same patch of land.

We are proud of Wanaka for the school system, how great it is for families, the awesome year-round outdoor sports, its low crime-rate, its tranquility, the natural beauty, its wonderful seasons, and the fact that other Kiwis come here to vacation in summer. Businesses here are owned locally.

Nobody here wants to live with underground bunkers next to them. The whole idea of building a bunker here in Wanaka to survive a nuclear blast is silly anyway. It's akin to trying to build a house on a mountain to survive the possibility of a 10,000 foot high tsunami. The odds of a 10,000 foot high tsunami are tiny, and if there were indeed a 10,000 foot high tsunami, the world would have bigger issues than the location of your mountain house. Likewise, if Wanaka, a small town near the center of the less populated island of a friendly, South Pacific island nation, surrounded by over 2,000 kilometers of sea on all sides, ever becomes the epicenter of a nuclear explosion... well, as a species we'd have bigger issues than whether a billionaire's getaway is built 10 feet underground as opposed to at ground level. We all have to accept some level of risk in life.

In my view, if Thiel changed his lodge proposal to look less bunker-y and more like typical Wanaka luxury lodges, the council would approve the structure, even if he built it in his desired location. He should also ditch his Japanese architectural firm and go with a local one. Just my two cents.
Context matter. Tim invested small (for him) amount of money in company of daughter of the family friend. At seed stage - there was really no due diligence to do at the time.

People keep saying this so there is probably something to it. I mean, not even the most optimistic mask studies show a long-term complete protection from all pathogens that can cause colds but okay, let's take it at face value: your wife is protected from colds because she wears N95s.

What this means is that your wife's immune system isn't getting challenged and isn't learning about the ever changing pathogens around it. It's not building immunity to the various strains every winter and it therefore can't get any cross-immunity ie against SARS-COV-2 [1].

All we know about the immune system suggests this is not good in the long term.

If true and I kind of hope it's not for this reason, your wife might be setting herself up for a very serious disease down the line. I hope this is not the case and wish both of you the best of luck.

It's not about "doing a disservice", it's about obeying the licence terms.

The GNU Free Documentation Licence has (optional) clauses in it ("invariant sections") which preclude making modifications to certain parts of the documentation, which makes it effectively non-free. While some manuals licensed under the terms of the GFDL are entirely free, several of the major GNU projects have large political rants embedded within them, which can't be altered.

I can see both points of view here. If you write opinion pieces you might not want your opinion altering and republishing without your consent. However, I would also argue that a free software technical manual might not be the best place to put such opinion pieces, because there is a certain hypocritical aspect to championing free software rights, but not applying the same principles to the documentation of the same. It would not be difficult to keep the twain separate.

Full disclosure: I voted against keeping GFDL documentation with invariant sections in the Debian archive back when I was a Debian developer. This is because one of the primary benefits of free software is that everyone has the same rights and responsibilities as everyone else. Distributors and end users have the same rights to distribute and modify as do the original maintainers (albeit they can't relicense under different terms). The GFDL invariant sections make one organisation or individual "more equal" than others, and that's against the entire spirit of what free software is all about. This is one instance where I think RMS really dropped the ball. I might not agree with all of his philosophy but it's usually well thought out, and in this case I think it's not well thought out at all.
I thought it was a bit hyperbolic, but yeah, looking at headers (both userspace and kernel), I can't see anything remotely related to camera. I would have at least expected a "color"space somewhere (colorspace which could have included jpeg/heif/... as format)

This video series: https://odysee.com/@BiohackThePlanet:3/coding-the-dna-for-a-... was created before any MRNA vaccines for novel coronavirus were scheduled to be released and the global research community world was scrambling for any edge against covid-19. It documents the efforts of a group of citizen scientists to develop and test an MRNA vaccine against Covid and test it on themselves. If you can offer one semi-compelling reason why it should have been removed from youtube without resorting to ad hominem against either me or the people producing it, I'll engage in some self-reflection.
Yeah, maybe don’t. I’m Irish and I’m sick to death of the stereotype of Irish as jolly drunkards. I recently went to see “The Glass Menagerie” play and the biggest (maybe only) laugh of the night was when the mother expressed surprise that an individual was “Irish on both sides but not an alcoholic”. Ha fucking ha. If I could go to the theatre and not have my nationality be the butt of lazy racist jokes that would be great, thanks.

And this isn’t harmless. I’ve worked in tech all my life, mostly outside of Ireland, and the “jolly drunkard” is certainly not a helpful stereotype when you’re trying to be taken seriously and progress in your career, I’ve experienced the unpleasant labelling myself (despite I’m teetotal) and frequently seen it applied to other Irish people.

I don't read many academic papers, but are the summaries normally 3 pages alone?

The instructor in the video covers why academics struggle getting published because they're used to writing for individuals who are paid(E.g TAs & Profs) to read what they wrote.

Letting you blacklist a site is one thing. They could improve upon it by letting people downvote/upvote pages and then using their extensive information vault to decide who is somewhat reputable or just similar to you.

I mean, I am 40 years old programmer/entrepreneur interested in sports and traditional board and card games. I like nice restaurants and hotels and even sometimes write Google reviews on them. I have my Gmail account since the beginning and I am paying YouTube and Google services customer. I am using Google phones since the Nexus. Google knows who I am, what I like, where I visit. It's pretty good at estimating revenue of my company. What about using the info for something useful for once and just show me pages people like me liked and don't show me pages people like me think are spam/scam? Please?
I think it be great if you repost this as a direct submission and not below another comment.

> Did being French hold no meaning when they were still a monarchy?

Absolutely none. People were first and foremost from their region and each region had its own laws, customs and often language.

What French view as the French identity very much is a post-revolutionary idea which was mercilessly spread through the eradication of regional cultures and languages and the standard curriculum by public schools during the nineteenth century.

Channel 4 is definitely not considered fact based or center left; it's really very left wing indeed and is about as "fact based" as as the rest of the media (i.e. not very).

It's very telling that the top two most popular videos on Channel 4 News' YouTube channel are:

1. A weather man correctly pronouncing the name of the Welsh town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

2. Jordan Peterson being interviewed by a C4 journalist. After it was uploaded it was described by one pundit as the most disastrous interview for the interviewer they'd ever seen. It has nearly 40 million views, mostly because the interviewer is so absurdly ideologically biased against Peterson and is clearly trying to paint him as absolute evil, yet he handles it (relatively) so well. At one point the interviewer actually becomes so confused she literally runs out of words and doesn't know what to say, leading Peterson to say, "hah, I gotcha" and she replies "yes, yes you have got me".
The reason for people not hosting a alternative interface is because they are scared. The US has made it clear time and time again (via extraditions) that country borders matter less than we think when the US government wants to enforce its laws worldwide.
Still, it appears someone at CNR copy-pasted someone else's blog and published it as their own.
> Multiple credible accusations, corroborated by contemporaneous accounts, collated by a reputable journalist is definitely enough to call the accusations founded.

Journalists build a narrative and then find facts that fit their narrative. If you continue to form your opinions on accusation you will find yourself easily manipulated by those who know how journalism works.
If you go to graduate school then your first job is ‘senior’ because by that point you’re a world-expert in your field.
TikTok’s extraordinary rise signals a more multipolar internet
For software developers, I've thought 5 years of solid work and continuous learning is about the right time horizon for a senior title, in a typical contemporary software/internet company. (At least, 5 years of seeing the lifecycle through awhile -- not job-hopping repeatedly, before getting to see cause and effect together.)

I could even see that going faster than 5 years, especially in a startup. For example, say one of your early hires is fresh out of school, but really curious and learning fast, already did some open source, learns from mentoring/osmosis, takes easily to a team sensibility, and has to tackle a lot of things like is the norm in a startup. Within a couple years, as the startup is starting to think about titles more, they might be a battle-scarred veteran with firsthand experience and maturity beyond their years. (Or, even if not everything is yet the complete senior package -- such as maybe they've only worked on one system and team, and could've overlearned from limited data points -- you want to acknowledge the value of their contributions, as well as their institutional memory and cultural role. So maybe help them level up any aspect they haven't yet had a chance to.)

(BTW, I avoid the term "professional engineer" when talking about software, because I've heard it have special meaning in the more regulated, traditional engineering disciplines.)
This is a pretty hilarious attempt to reconcile different incompatible dogmas. It helps make it clear that hustle-culture capitalism, climate personal responsibility woke-ism and experiences-over-things, muli-cultural citizen-of-the-world-ism just cannot be mixed in any sane way.

Ah, it's a bit (read: very) terrible that the system we now live in focuses so much on work and "productivity" that for the most of us, we only get just a few days a year to enjoy our lives. Even less for Americans. And even less for the people working in slave-ish conditions.

Debian and the FSF have battled over this years ago (https://people.debian.org/~srivasta/Position_Statement.xhtml). It's as much the fault of Debian as it is the fault of the FSF to update the GFDL terms (which is possible, as many works are licensed as "current version of the GFDL + later").

It reminds me of a comment [1] I left a while back, and that I randomly found again today:

> Even though significant work is required to keep [old machines like 2012 thinkpads] working, some people prefer to do so. Crucially, they prefer it not because they love tinkering, but simply because the value propositions of 2021/2022 hardware doesn't look better.

I guess the value proposition of modern notebooks is actually degrading, at least in this respect...

FYI I’m replying with a humorous (to me) notice. While many HN folks fit your “armchair” statements, I can’t help but think that (as programmers) we generate a lot of value while sitting in chairs that have armrests. I haven’t read the article yet (I generally check the comments first to see if it’s worthwhile, and this one looks interesting), but I can’t help but contrast your opinion with the idea that your “armchair judges” have a level of (pseudo?)intellectual value that I appreciate. I have good experience using the opinions here as a good “tell” whether or not internet content (like the current article) is worth my time.
2% is plenty anyway. I mean, we have to start somewhere.

Could you source anything that proves this? I’ve always seen personalised stories with recipes, save for barebones websites that are aggregators and not personal blogs. Maybe consider food writing the same as technical writing? Nobody wants to read a dev blog with just snippets of code, they want the story too!
I dunno.. that's why I'm asking.
i don't remember hopper being part of the story (although i've never been one for names).

the story claimed it was the first ever computer bug. the fact that edison used to have to pick them out of telephone and telegraph equipment doesn't refute this for me, unless you want to make some claim that manually switched telephone/telegraph networks were actually computing something.
They lost control long long ago. It's basically a Jurassic Park story at this stage.
If the post is political flame-bait it usually gets flagged. That's not what HN is for. Anyway if the story is serious enough it usually surfaces to the front page typically under a new guise or covered by another news outlet. The truth rises to the top.
How do you propose anyone (Google or humans) differentiate between 500 mostly-similar recipes for brownies? I think HNers look at food blogs with a very depressing robotic expectation.
