Crazy how? In the past we have done some CPC campaigns, but it leaves the risk of a poorly performing ad on us, instead of the advertiser. With CPM, we make the same amount for our inventory, but advertisers with great ads benefit with a higher CTR and lower CPC.
I wonder whether it would be possible to avoid all this bullsh*t by using Geo-Location to deny access to anyone trying to access a website from a location in California?

sorry, i was implying that when another company or group of people do their own version of censoring. the creators agree with brodcast tv laws and parameters to edit down their work because they want it to be available in that form. vidangel seemed to be doing whatever they wanted as a third party.
Seems like I read something like this long ago NOT being a bad thing. Walmart was selling an external USB 5g drive or something, when 5g was gigantic, cheaper than 5g drives were selling for.

So we'd buy the external, take the IDE drive out, and have a cheap 5g IDE drive. And we liked it.
yeah I was disagreeing with your judgement of .ly and .to as shady. I've worked with people at registrars and the registry for these ccTLDs and they are nice people and I don't think they have done anything shady.

I can understand why .io may be considered "shady" because it was assigned to the British Indian Ocean Territory but the native people of this region didn't receive anything from .io.

I don't really get it either. My biggest complaint is that they tell you to go see the doctor for everything and 9/10 of the time the doctor will tell you to go home and take ibuprofen and see what happens.

I think it's generally possible to tell, based on what's provided on WebMD, what symptoms would cause a doctor to recommend an immediate trip to the ER or surgery or pharmaceuticals. It's required learning more than I would otherwise know about how my organs function, but I also don't think I know like... an exceptional amount about the human body.
The substitution thing has worked well for me - they now alert you in the app before and you can yes/no the substitution. You can also mark “ride or die” on items and if they can’t get it they don’t substitute.

I don’t recall if they upcharge for more expensive substitution now - before it was free, which was a bit abuseable.
If the ads didn’t change what you showed based on the price and instead charged a fixed price ti be in the list (and still be ranked by what’s best) then I think you can call it ethical.

That is to say, helping people find the best product is ethical. Helping them find whichever product has the biggest marketing budget less so.

No, sorry, we are not. Not by a long shot. Most people here do not have a good understanding of these issues and "just want to live their life", meaning continue to be uninformed, as long as it is convenient.

It is quite difficult to even get people to try Signal or other option, to really give it a chance, because they are so prone to the network effect. They install all kinds of shit apps on their phones, but one more privacy friendly chat app? Nahhhh ...

Yeah, sorry I agree that he was intentionally trying to downplay the deaths with that phrasing.

But, he did so because he'd already picked a side. I think if the numbers had came out the other way, he'd have happily stated "x million people died because of this pointless lockdown" and made it personal and emotional.

But the fact that he had to try to blunt the impact of his own numers in this way, in a weird way gives them more credibility. If a marketer put "90% fat free" on a food package rather than "10% fat" it provides some evidence that there is at least 10% fat in the product because someone has made the effort to try to minimize that fact.

BTW I also worked on a small in-house system that was just a run-it-from-the-desktop install (aka xcopy install) and it worked perfectly. Boss insisted we needed a "proper" installer so I tried the installer-maker provided by MS. Jesus what a fucked-up mess that made of the whole process, a day of trying to get that working (while it sprayed guids and subdirectories everywhere and could't even uninstall what it installed) and I gave up.

I also have a fun story of an MSSQL uninstall that went wrong on a live server.

executive summary is that xcopy installs work very well IME.

This is where the fractal nature of the role helps.

In your example, a mid level dev would oversee the architecture of the service. This dev would work to the junior to ensure their approach fits the rest of the service, and review their work. In turn a senior eng would oversee the architecture of the system owned by the team (possibly involving several services), and keep tabs with each one.

Did a deep, DEEP dive on the history of toaster waffles and toaster pastries and damn there were some fascinating rabbit holes.

Like...everyone's wrong about the origins of the toaster itself (it was a Wikipedia hoax that no one noticed for 10 years) AND the toaster waffle (some dude clearly stole the idea and the acclaim from others). Also, the technology that made Pop-Tarts possible was originally meant for a special kind of dog food!

First time posting after lurking here for a while, forgive the self-promotional link (it's a deep-dive food history newsletter I write), but this seemed like the sort of oddly interesting thing you fine people would enjoy.

It's true that Do Not Track (DNT) is not a true standard in terms of implementation and intent and different folks mean different things when setting the DNT flag. However, when building DNT for EthicalAds and for Read the Docs, we followed the EFF's implementation guide for DNT[1]. This means a number things including:

* We do not store personally identifying information when users are merely browsing a site with our ads.

* We rotate our logs in less than 10 days

* We do not set cookies on ad requests. We also don't use some non-cookie alternative. Obviously for publishers or advertisers, logging into our backend requires a login cookie.

I don't think the big climate change risk is deaths directly from disasters as much as it is starvation, poverty, disease, unrest, etc brought on by things like crop failures. The war in Ukraine prevented the country from getting its grain to market, which drove up grain prices beyond what poor countries could afford, creating a food crisis (this also impacted the poor in more developed countries, as food prices rose). A climate-induced crop failure in a major agricultural region could have the same effect.

But seriously, why limit a circle to 150 people when it could have been an excellent tool for power users.

So my automations will need groupName1, groupName2, groupName3 to get more than 150 people included in an otherwise private tweet.

Also, this was the only good thing about G+ so it’s good to see that almost every social network now has a copy of the feature. (Even if they eventually decided to get rid of it)

Ask HN: What are the best API generators you know?
Supabase seems really close to what I'm enivisioning but it's not quite there.

Ideally I want something where:
- I can drop in simple db schema outlining relationships
- Generates models in a backend (flask, django or anything else)
- Has UUID in postgres by default
- Can create endpoints by specifying from open API schema

Anyone know of anything close to this?
The only thing that makes the decision to quit difficult is there's no other job I could get that would pay me enough to even be comfortable.

> I've spent a lot of hours of my daughter explaining very calmly why we should stop caring about her so she can die in peace.

Surely this is worded very poorly, and is not intended to say that you have been telling your daughter that you don’t care if she suicides. Because that would be monstrously cruel and quite possibly warrants prosecution per the Michelle Carter/Conrad Roy III case.
Reads like a pretty decent outline. It's a sufficiently interesting premise for a story. But no named characters or even characters at all seems like a shortcoming. Understandable, as I don't believe GPT-3 is anywhere close to being able to create consistent, believable fictional people and relationships that can exist across paragraphs just yet, but I'm sure some future version will get there eventually.

That is, of course, the hardest part for human authors as well.

You're making two arguments here: that if we don't know everything, we don't know anything, and that we're incapable of deriving truth from media reports.

Neither is true. We often have adequate priors and when individual perceptions aren't sufficient statistics offer a base of comparison. Media bias and cognitive biases exist, of course, but uncertainty and bias can also be measured and mitigated. It's notable that sometimes the loudest complaints of media bias come from competing media outlets with lesser or negative commitment to reliability.

It's a common conflict for info publishers, the only solution is really to get rid of advertising. WebMD relies too much on industry advertisers and on companies selling pharmaceuticals and it corrupts their ability to objectively provide health advice. Advertisers pressure publishers for prime placement, and for editorial influence when they have weight to them, and it corrupts the tone of what a site can publish by nature.

The same is happening with many doctors that need to pay their overhead, many offices turn into "pill mills" because that is what keeps the lights on. We're at a very weird time in history, where people are more profitable as unhealthy individuals, so certain actors in health care peddle fear, confusion, and paranoia to sell medications as well as the valid issues and panaceas to them, and even minor and completely minute afflictions normally have commercials running non-stop on TV. WebMD is a tiny blip when you consider that people type their affliction into Google first.

Perhaps for them, and as the online ad economy melts itself down, contracting with the government to provide official information on a non-ad funded site with a far less cluttered UI might be a better long-term profit model.
At bare minimum I can think of the 3D space the character is in, and rotate and shift it to any location and position I can dream of, even if I have never seen it before. When we will have 3D aware AI, that would be interesting.
Pakistan has lots of rivers coming down from the Himalayas. These rivers start at the bottom of glaciers as they melt (yes, this has happened since forever: glaciers melt all the time, but they also grow from snowfall, when there is such a thing). An increase in melt water causes these rivers to overflow, which combines with the effect of the monsoon.
Perhaps then "Preview/Beta online service" should be part of the Headline/title.

I am an architect. Proud of my profession. I code only for fun. I do solution architecture in a scope with 100s of impacted developers. I highly suspect that dozens of them are describing us exactly like you do. However, once they challenge us and we elaborate the problem to them, their solution usually falls apart and they align with our solution. Why: because in that scale of complexity we operate in not every engineer can maintain the necessary knowledge.

I highly respect the approach of architecture in the team/agile environment and seniority in engineering. But at a given scale, someone is there to orchestrate all of it and does the overall plan. That person is a solution architect.
Theranos is so huge in some people's minds because it billed itself first as a Silicon Valley style tech company, so people associated with Silicon Valley style tech companies are well aware of it.

There have been tons of companies doing things far more similar to Theranos' claims especially in the liquid biopsy space, without any negative association, partly because they bill themselves as biotech companies, and partly because their tech actually works.

The main reason Theranos was able to get away with what they claimed, was people in the industry knew what they claimed was approximately possible, just hadn't yet been done with the tech of the day.

11 years later, that tech has continuously improved. Biotech companies with interesting ideas about how to approach liquid biopsy and personalized medicine don't get extra scrutiny because of Theranos. The exception is if they are going for funding to people more familiar with Theranos than with biotech. Which is itself as much of a red flag as one needs.

In first startup I was working we were four engineers and our whole shared context could fit into two whiteboards and Kanban board in GitHub.

Next one was a couple of hundreds of engineers and a lot of coordination activity directed by iron fist of program managers.

Next one was fifty engineers but with the same amount of coordination activities (for the sake of the process) and much less progress.

And the current one had ten people in engineering, three chapters (backend, frontend, DevOps), incident board, 1-1s, retro, planning, refinement, weekly, quarter retro and planning and sprint review.

Fun fact: at current place no one knew the term "cargo cult". When I explained the meaning some colleagues considered it offensive.

The point isn't the initial install, it's the subsequent lookups (including update, uninstallation, etc.) when you have a bunch of programs to deal with. When you're dealing with 1 program, you can treat it like your pet. But when you're dealing with 50, you can't do that anymore. You need to realize you have cattle and adjust accordingly.

https on its own isn't e2ee:

>End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a system of communication where *only the communicating users can read the messages*. In principle, it prevents potential eavesdroppers – including telecom providers, Internet providers, malicious actors, *and even the provider of the communication service* – from being able to access the cryptographic keys needed to decrypt the conversation.[1]

If the server can read the content, it isn't end-to-end encryption.

You can run the model on your CPU quite easily, and a lot of people have access to 16gb machines - it's much slower, for sure (10minutes/50passes on my old gaming pc), but it's still much faster than drawing things of the same quality by hand.

There have been a couple of challengers that failed, now however YouTube is getting very serious about streaming, and they are well on their way to reach parity with twitch. Twitch recently weakened a policy where partners weren't allowed to stream on other platforms - probably because it is feeling the heat from popular streamers moving over to YouTube.

Most streamers already have their live content on twitch and their gods and other video content on YouTube, depending on how the revenue from either side stacks up, they are enticed to switch over.
