Getting and storing the content is one of the main challenges, and it's getting harder by the day with more and more sites using anti bot stuff from companies like Cloudflare.
With the SauceNAO.com image search engine I tried to tailor it to my own needs, taking a slow and steady semi-curated approach. To keep things sane and costs low I went after specific sites (and other resources) which have high signal to noise, and highly desirable content. I add a couple at a time, finding and fixing bottlenecks as they come up. Nothing is perfect from the start, so I mainly focus on environment simplicity and getting the minimum viable setup working as quickly as possible. This has caused some problems to be sure, and led to the site looking and feeling less than awesome in many ways, but at least it (mostly) works... Over time I have had to rewrite everything - the crawling software, search algorithms, back-end database, and front-end when it became apparent things could be done more efficiently to deal with the ever increasing usage and scale. Having the content stored to enable re-generating indexes quickly has been very important long term! It has taken many years (started in 2008), but in its art/entertainment niche, it has really started to take off usage wise. My advice would be to start semi-small, throwing things at the wall and see if anything works. Try to keep the initial setup as simple and affordable as possible unless you have serious funding available. Building even a small search engine can take a lot of resources and time, but it can also be an amazingly fun hobby.
In my experience, part of the problem is that often (usually?) the search on those places is nearly useless. For example, I shudder to think what will happen if old.reddit ever stops working.
The US remains unpunished for what they did in the middle east

I worry that this would introduce cost disease[1] in legal fees.

In the case of healthcare and education, I believe that cost disease is caused partially by an excess of funding - subsidizing. In the case of healthcare, it's insurance. In the case of education, it's grants and student loans. These mechanics greatly reduce the pressure of service-providers to reduce prices - and so they increase prices because they want profit.

If legal fees, which are high enough as it is, were also subject to subsidization through this kind of organization, then even though members would be temporarily better-off, I would expect that as more people made use of these organizations, legal fees would start to rise even more - a tragedy of the commons.

Besides, aren't these lawsuits symptoms of a problem? We want to address the disease (overly complex legal system requiring an expensive education to understand, mechanics that allow for patent trolls), not the symptoms.

Guarding against overgeneralization is not something we need new scientific heresy rules to prevent. It's already part of being a good scientist. It's also a subjective bar, and adding "inappropriate" to that makes it entirely fungible.

Moreover, I've spent the last 2+ years horrified by how willing "scientists" have been to generalize to wild real-world conclusions from miniscule data based on Twitter outrage, so I have zero faith that a board of clerics is going to use these rules with magnanimity. Whichever political faction that controls the board will be tempted to define "inappropriate" to mean "whatever conclusion we don't like".

Just to make it concrete: run an RCT that shows that masks don't have any effect on Covid transmission? Good luck getting that published in a top journal, even today. With these new rules, literally anyone who doesn't like the conclusions will claim that the result is an "overgeneralization". There will be no study large enough to satisfy the clerisy...unless The Science says something approved, of course.

Edit: and lest you think I am exaggerating with my example, consider the following, directly quoted from the new guidelines:

> Harms can also arise indirectly, as a result of the publication of a research project or a piece of scholarly communication – for instance, stigmatization of a vulnerable human group or potential use of the results of research for unintended purposes (e.g., public policies that undermine human rights or misuse of information to threaten public health).

They're literally saying that they're open to censoring research that might be "misused" to "threaten public health". And they've defined it broadly enough that pretty much anything that displeases "a vulnerable human group" can be covered. Convenient.

I donate to a Christian charity that gives money, health checks to children to survive at their churches.

The kinds of things that these countries need are large government backed projects with extreme amounts of funding to introduce core infrastructure such as water pipes, hospitals, education curriculums. Things that we in the West take for granted or are even free.

For this to work, Everything hinges upon a high trust, values based society where people WANT civilization and WANT society. That means low crime, low criminality, the availability of work to earn money for food and effective shelter. And mutual good will.

I don't think giving them money and letting them spend it on consumables helps as much as it could.

In the UK parts of our national services are run by foreign companies, as direct foreign investment. They know how to run a railway or hospital or waste disposal.

Governments in the west have enough on their plate, it would take a great deal of investment for a government to instigate a plan to introduce an infrastructural plan in a country that is NOT their own. The corresponding government organisational capability might not even exist in the recipient countries.

People can have opposite experiences from the same situation, and all of them are equally valid. People are complicated and social structures are even more so.

It's valuable to provide people with context when giving advice from personal experience. The person hearing the advice needs to understand how the situation you presented mirrors theirs and also have an idea of how similarly they are going to be perceived compared to how you were.
A theocracy is nothing more then a "protect the rights of individuals" for contract safety (marriage), primitive justice and against more then absolute ruler overreach, going heywire and corrupt.

This whole machine will reincarnate again and again though. With fairytale or without, the part of society not trusting the judical system to uphold contracts and social safety, will make there voices heard in pseudo religion after pseudo religion.

Let me venture into the testable area. I venture the guess, that the more reliable and longer existing a states social safety net is, the more religion will be absent from its society. It should also corellate with reliability of the justice system.
You mentioned your uncompressed binary was 25MB. The compressed version still must be huge.

I feel like this suffers status quo bias.

1. production capacity is degraded by marketing goes up, their products which have now show real benefit will be higher in demand. Whether it can compensate fully for the reduced capacity, only time will tell.

2. Russia can try (and focus) on building weapons without western chips. They will obviously not as advanced, but then they weren't really known for advanced high tech weaponry to begin with.

3. Existing machinery underperfomed, but now investment in tested weaponry will be made.

I am not trying to make a really hard case for Russian perseverance, but to me your argument sounds like someone saying "you messed with the son of the farmer, lets see how you celebrate your birthday without eggs to make the cake".
In part, I think development of containers for software has meant its much, much easier today to automate packaging/deployment of web apps in easy to deploy containers that work natively on all the major VPS providers, not just Heroku. My own journey with Heroku certainly largely ended once I was able to replicate much of what I used it for just using docker/docker-compose, occasionally k8s if the size/complexity of project demands it.

Docker/docker-compose has much of the "easy to ship" magic that Heroku had for me in its early years, I very quickly abandoned Heroku for my own container stacks not long after Docker launched in 2013. Its not quite as friendly or easy as Heroku was at its best, but its a completely open format and works with so many different providers etc etc.

When you can just get a database in a container with one line in docker or a handful of lines of yaml in a compose file, the magic of heroku deploying a production database instance easily isn't quite as special as it once was.

That Dokku, the open source Heroku alternative, is at heart a Docker container manager suggests I wasn't the only person with these thoughts.
>How should I handle the situation?

In your responses, avoid saying anything "that would put anyone at odds with anyone else".
(I learned this quote from a principal of a K-5 school I once dated)
Not sure how Heroku is hoping to attract new customers without a free tier ? Do they think their reputation will suffice?
Ah yes, the US universities are well known to hire the wealthiest elites as researchers. Poor foreign grad students are virtually absent from US universities.

Well, there haven't been many deaths that we know of. However, the behavior of the orcas seems to be a learned behavior. Obviously they're doing this for a reason. Who knows, maybe this pod of whales has developed a taste?

There are a few ways I could see this happening. Perhaps they found a lone sailor, or maybe a small boat of migrants coming from Morocco made an easy target.
It seems bad appartments are leading entire generations into thinking all appartments have to be terrible, last-resort options. I'm renting a recently renovated appartment , and while it's not perfect, the sound isolation is so good, that my roommate can play games with voice chat and I can sleep in the next room. Only a ~5cm wall separates our rooms.

I think a future with comfortable, large, isolated apartments is possible, and even such "fancy" apartments are going to be cheaper than full houses, if there are enough of them.
Bluetooth headphones are good != Apple was right to remove the jack

There is no reason to remove a feature that works perfectly and is invaluable in some situations. Bluetooth headphones will never be sufficient for music performance, audio production, and rhythm games, for example. And it's not like Apple shies away from features that affect only a tiny portion of their userbase, such as Lockdown Mode.
Because it designated you as part of the West as an enemy ?
I wonder how many companies that pay for Heroku are only doing so because their employees previously used the free tier for personal projects at home.
Compared to Google, Andi's search experience is definitely better and results are more relevant. But for complex queries, I found its search results and filtering behavior are still not as smart as what I'd like (though, again, much better than Google's).
I could rant for hours about USPS planet codes and how busted the backend was a decade ago when I had to integrate our industrial printers and inventory tracking system into it. But it can really be summed up with this: they used local time for timestamps and neglected to record the offset from UTC... you wouldn't believe how many time zones there are in the continental United States. It was almost like the indian reservations had it out for programmers, with their totally capricious clock changes.
I think its because advanced degrees fast track the immigration process, and the better paying jobs are in the US. Those born in the US get a bachelors degree and then a job (probably to pay off the student debt). For a non-US born person with a bachelors degree, it is far more difficult to find a job in the US, so they apply for a MS/PhD program. Then the MS/PhD programs are full of foreign nationals, and naturally the academic R&D jobs pull from that pool made up of mostly non-US persons.
porter.run, convox, render, fly.io, dokku...
I can't remember what book it was that was I reading, working through some language/framework of the month. They had you register an account on GitHub, and then on Heroku. You'd push the chapter's exercise up there, deploy it, and then never look at it again.

I always wondered how many millions of repos/apps were out there because of stuff like that.
Yeah I can’t really speak outside of the north end in the past couple years or so, but proctor, stadium, old town, Ruston and even around 6th all have a nice mix of local and chain stuff now.

Consider an alternate reading, doubling down on unfolding:

“And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it will. Therefore be at peace with entropy, whatever you conceive it to be.”

One can read the whole and happily strive to bring local order to local chaos as a vocation, both suspecting that may be futile down the infinite yet fulfilled by the local effort, and being at peace with entropy.
Oral history seems particularly robust in its ability to maintain consistency over time. There is an inherent weakness to publishing where authorship is corruptible and short circuits the durability of time spread across regions that maintain a consistent oral history.

It reminds me of the technique to remembering a book where you read one word at a time and repeat it out loud, repeating each segment + 1 in a loop. It’s quite trivial to remember every single word when doing that.

On the contrary, enslaving a specific skin-color is relatively recent invention. Although the concept of slavery is old, the way slavery was applied is relatively new. America also held onto the enslavement of a specific skin-color most recently, and like I said, there are still people alive who were legally barred from voting purely because of their identified skin color.
True, but for reddit adding "reddit" to a google search does just fine. Not so much for the single-purpose websites marginalia focuses on.
The actual guidelines that are being proposed, namely the following quote, do sound like a veiled requirement to self-censor (or 'contextualize') any data or findings that go against the expected norm.

"Researchers are asked to carefully consider the potential implications (including inadvertent consequences) of research on human groups defined by attributes of race, ethnicity, national or social origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, political or other beliefs, age, disease, (dis)ability or other status, to be reflective of their authorial perspective if not part of the group under study, and contextualise their findings to minimize as much as possible potential misuse or risks of harm to the studied groups in the public sphere."

I would argue that the "possible misuse" of some undesirable findings explicitly should not be a valid factor to consider, since it's even more important to publish valid findings especially if they are controversial. As you say, we should definitely avoid generalization of findings by relying on stereotypes without empirical basis (because that's a false implication), however, we should also not shun findings strongly supported by empirical basis even if they coincide with some stereotypes - and this statement does not even try to mention this balance.

I would welcome the same passage to say something like "If this research touches these sensitive topics, then we implore the authors, reviewers and editors to be double-sure that the assertions are actually true, but for $Deity's sake don't ever omit any controversial but true results".

In essence, it's a statement about priorities and values. Being respectful is important. Being true is important. But if you say that the former is more important than the latter and should sometimes override it, then you don't share my values and are not a friend of science; you should respect the dignity and rights of all humans as long as it doesn't harm the communication of truth and not an inch more.
something unfortunate to keep in mind is your emotional intelligence at that age. it's clear an 18 year old is not as mentally prepared as even a 28 year old, let alone 30+ when your brain development has really hit its peak.

it's all fine and dandy to think people should be parents in their early 20s, but think about where you were at 20. did you stay with the same person? I think if you ran surveys in the west, you'd find a disproportionate amount who either didn't have anyone, or who broke up not long after. I like to think I'm a much kinder, calmer, and more self-aware person than I was at 18, or even 25.

at 30 you might be a more tired but hopefully at that point you've:

(1) dated enough to know what to look for in a partner;
(2) have found that partner who is a good match;
(3) have progressed enough in your work that you're less at risk at big economic suffering

I think people who try and save up in advance of kids are a little nutty - focus on your retirement, and emergency fund, they can borrow money. it's almost never an advantageous position for it to be paid off.

3 can definitely be solved by good policy. But I think it's just foolishness to suggest that people can start having kids whenever. At least in my experience and my peers' experience, finding the person who likes you enough to consider that is the blocker by a long shot. Everything else can be solved with money.

by the way, comments earlier about Israeli military service were interesting -- it makes sense to me as an accelerant in bonding, same as some university experiences. That was however not my experience in university undergrad...
So, it's basically just an email to your CEO?

Netflix's DVD catalogue was like 100,000 titles. They've never had 100,000 titles on their streaming site. There aren't 100,000 streaming titles anywhere today across all streaming services!

"At its peak, in fact, the number of DVD titles possessed by Netflix would have dwarfed the entire streaming libraries of all the major streamers today … combined."

I would not believe an ACA compliant plan healthcare.gov was $5k for a family of 4.

Here is NJ’s prices, which is a relatively high cost state:

https://www.state.nj.us/dobi/division_insurance/ihcseh/ihcra...

For a silver level Horizon BCBS plan (Omnia Silver HSA, pretty broad coverage, never seen a provider not in network), you would be looking at $300 to $700 per person, calculated using the age rating factors at the bottom. And I know from experience the max OOP was $10k or a little less.

Even if you were older parents, the total would come in under $3k per month for a plan that covered 70% of expected healthcare expense, which is what qualifies it to be labeled silver.

I know priced in California were not too much more than NJ. There is a Kaiser pdf showing a detailed breakdown of premiums nationwide, but pretty much everywhere scales from $300 to $1k per month from age 20 to 65 for a silver level plan.

And this is all for buying via healthcare.gov. I would bet all big employers provide far more subsidized ACA compliant health insurance, so if you are employed, I would budget for employers to pay 70% of the premium, so individuals would pay 30% of $2k for family coverage = $700 per month and be subject to $5k per year deductible, and $10k oop max per year.

Basically, you can expect to insure your whole family for unlimited (in network and out of network emergency) healthcare expense for $20k per year if you work for a big company, and $40k per year if you are paying yourself, maybe $45k if you’re over 50 years old.
