They are mandated to pay you back if they fail to provide service. However, that doesn't help you in case of a bankruptcy. Paying months ahead is basically giving the airline an unsecured loan and lots of German consumers were hit when Air Berling went bankrupt. Under German bankruptcy laws even a credit card chargeback won't help you, that money is mostly gone.
The overwhelming majorities of apps you use, you don't even notice you are using them. They are usually provided by the os by default, like the home screen, the alarm clock, the web browser, the network selector, the file browser, contact selector, text message sender, unlock screen... Most of them is cutstomised on one of my devices, but most users don't even think about it as software. It's just there.

None of them can now be pwa. Not event something as simple as the alarm clock because of the device going to sleep.

Some of them can be pwa but the experience is terrible on mobile: map apps and video apps are an example.
I would make it dead simple: A whole new version number for any difference from the former; starting from USB3.

* USB3.1Gen1? USB3 (because it literally is).

* USB3.1Gen2? USB4.

* USB3.2Gen1? USB3 (because it literally is).

* USB3.2Gen2? USB4.

* USB3.2Gen1x2? USB5.

* USB3.2Gen2x2? USB6.

* USB4Gen2x1? USB7.

* USB4Gen2x2? USB8.

* USB4Gen3x1? USB9.

* USB4Gen3x2? USB10.

* USB4v2? USB11.

Power Delivery? Likewise one whole version number (eg: PD100W) based off watts carried, and append that version number to the USB version number.

So for example: USB9 PD100W, USB7 PD30W, etc.

Dead. Fucking. Simple.

The U in USB stands for Universal. The first step to being universal is to be so dead fucking simple even your technologically illiterate grandma can tell things apart.

I hate the Chrome Versioning System, but it is by far dead fucking simple, and USB could use some dead fucking simpleness with its version numbers.

"on a platform we paid money for" - none of you.
Challenges in front of us are monumental, and we prioritize features based on impact to user base. It seems to be the case that full anonymity is not very high on the list for most Kagi users (but best search results in the world are, so that is where we spend most of our limited resources on).

It is also not immediately clear how can anonymity be guaranteed from a technical implementation standpoint? Happy to understand more about what the ask is.

We do say that our business model is the best guarantee - we make money from our users not third parties; our volume is too small to be interesting to anyone and will always remain small because of the paid nature of the product (in fact we are actively making decisions like increasing prices that are making it even smaller); if we ever sold a byte of data and that was found out, it would immediately kill the entire business; and we do not log searches because we have no use of them, they would only be an uneeded cost and liability. The motive simply isn't there.

We understand that you have to believe that, but so you would need to believe any other claim including the full anonymity one. Nothing in the world can 100% guarantee that.

As it is we carry the full burden of lack of trust in online technology, that we are not responsible for creating (and have actually founded to be an anti-thesis to).

Thanks for supporting Kagi, and we ask for a bit of patience with this, we just started.

Unfortunately it is not much different in Serbia. Tech moguls and shady businessmen are quickly buying out cities and flipping real estate for a profit, leaving working people on the streets.
There are a great many countries where property owners would rather rent to a foreigner, due to foreigners having on average higher spending power.
Im sure that sounds odd to you if you are younger but go to any small town and talk to people about how AC changed the swimming hole of the 50s or the washing machine changed the way housewives socialized. The car reformed neighborhoods and commerce for sure, but so did several other private in home technologies. I mean the television fundamentally changed child development. And before it the average person in america went to the theater 1-2 times per week. You likely just live like a fish in water with them now and never knew how it was.

The car was part of a total private technology revolution that fundamentally reduced socialization for work and play.

What you are saying is that some OS are limiting you in what they let you do on non rooted deviced. Any desktop computer don't have this limitation, and pwa is not just about mobile.

I won't speak to this Covid period, as it is an exception. Not sure if it will go on for a long time or not, but right now I look at it as an exception.

But, first thing I did a long, long time ago was read all I could about dealerships, dealarship tactics, dearler salesperson tactics, info on how to lower the price, and everything I could get my hands on. This was before the internet and I'm positive there's a ton of stuff on this on youtube and elsewhere.

Homes and vehicles are the biggest ticket items that people purchase. Not to learn everything you can about buying a car is idiotic, with all the resources available out there.

I've known the trick about "trade ins" for a long time, this has always been known. So you don't even talk about trading in your car. You sell it privately. You will never get the same value from a dealer, it's impossible, why you even trying to do the trade in?

Never fall in love with a car and let them know, always seem like you don't care. Go to multiple dealers. Never do the whole "let me take your drivers license and credit card" trick so that they can keep you there waiting for the financial office to "finish processing" or whatever bullshit they spout. Then they have a second salesperson take a crack at you if you're not buying.

Anyways, read up. Watch up.

Not really, does it make you feel good to be a jerk online to people?
One negative effect of scaling I’ve noticed is that mature social networks (eg Instagram) seem harder to break into. Only established influencer content is surfaced so a new creator has trouble.

TikTok seems much better at promoting newer creators, possibly because it doesn’t have as many large existing creators. This means all the new talent goes there, and then the established talent eventually follows.
We get to make the rules the government plays by. Enough people need to be convinced that requiring police to present a warrant to purchase cellular location data is good for them.

I would rather see the sale of location data made illegal. Then legitimate businesses would stop selling it.

And what do you do for more complex, stateful apps?

To quote Albert Einstein, "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."

This applies as much to your JavaScript bundler configuration as it does to the origins of the universe. It's not surprising really, because if I say "an instantaneous explosion that causes the entire universe to be filled with matter" you don't know if I'm talking about the Big Bang or Webpack.
what about when payment will be declined on check-in? will they allow flight and then demand payment or will they just don't allow to board? also what if check-in will be done online day before and flight will be canceled?

Btw I have wondered for a long time why search on Facebook is such an atrocious mess. But then it struck me: it must be intentional, so you would spend more time scrolling feeds to find that one post you've missed.

Really smart use of GPT-3, if I read it write your prompt asks GPT-3 to use it's magic powers of attention to figure out it's the name and company name you're looking for, then you further ask the response to be in the form of something you can easily extract. The first part of your prompt is the example (Apple computer), and the second part is the real email you want to parse and you give room for the AI to dump it's answer.
I really appreciate the smart ways people are coming up with using the NLP models.
I am fine with company killing apps or features that don't make money. What i don't like is that company uses corporate talk to hide the real motive to kill popular products. This has happened to CentOS after ibm taking over redhat, now we are witnessing this.
That's true, I should have been a bit more specific.

Each individual query runs within a single shard as far I recall (its been a few years...). There maybe transactions (like new order) that do multiple queries such that the transaction does read and writes to more then one shard. This doesn't really change how easy the workload is to scale out too much though. Harder to scale workloads require a single query to run across many (often all) shards or require data reshuffling for joins (there is not one good shard key that keeps all joins shard local). In these cases adding more nodes or shards will make each query a bit slower.
Since Iceland is in the EU, you should check a bit more if that's allowed. I'm pretty sure it isn't and when the credit expires you should still be able to collect the original amount, at least that is what happened in some other instances to avoid liquidity crisis with airlines and holiday agencies.

How Instagram suggests new content (2020)
Slighlty chilling reading these opinions, like a focus group with Christmas turkeys in November. TikTok and Instagram seem equally devoid of useful content to me, one just has more dancing. YouTube is the exception, partly because they pay creators better. YouTube creators seem to be living lives they actually desire to lead.

> As it is inevitable that there is an influence

The current homogeneous politicization of science certainly isn't inevitable, as there are periods of rapid scientific progress in the past when this situation did not exist.

> People completely misrepresented Darwin.

I think that's overly intellectualizing things. Ethnic conflict and genocide probably don't have much to do with people's understanding of science, as there are still ethnic strifes around word, even though discussion of many genetic differences among populations is now generally frowned upon in academia. [1] And there has been ethnic conflicts everywhere since the dawn of time, since way before modern science, Darwin, or the contemporary history of eugenics.

> What cannot be published today?

Things like arguments made in "The Bell Curve" [2], or even "The Blank Slate" [3]? You can't really make those kinds of arguments without getting in trouble.

> I mean Journals like Mankind Quaterly still exist

I'd never heard of that journal before, but with an impact factor of 0.194 [4], it's probably safe to say that it has no influence whatsoever on science in general. (perhaps appropriately, as you say, I have no idea about the quality of papers it publishes) I'm sure many personal blogs are more influential.

But do you think you could conceivably publish a paper in Nature which cites something from that journal in a noncritical way? The barrier isn't due to low quality or the authors being ideologues, as there are papers cited in Nature with both of those defects.

> Allowing punitive damages would be a major change to the foundations of German civil law.

There ARE punitive damages the airline has to pay you if they cancel or delay your flight. It's EU law. See the sibling comment.

For instance if they cancel or delay a flight over 1500 km in the EU you're entitled to 400 Euro compensation on top of cost of ticket and other expenses you had due to it.
Among the Luba people of DR Congo, this is known as "Kansonda"[1]. It is said to be a mystical targeted weapon sent towards an individual as a punishment or retaliation for committing some grievous act.

Another lightning weapon is "Nkuba". This may sound crazy and get downvoted to oblivion but as a kid I witnessed someone invoking lightning at will - twice - on a cloudy afternoon. This person was form the Luba nation and he claimed to have the power to invoke lightning. He was challenged by the crowd to prove his claim and so he went on and on about it then started making an incantation in Tshiluba then suddenly clapped his hands: immediately there was a loud thunder and lightning. He repeated this and there was a loud thunder again. Later in life I postulated that he could have just been trained into the art of telling when lightning is about to strike, which is probably possible given than DR Congo has an unusually high incidence rate of lightning compared to the rest of the world[2][3].

It's both, DALL-E specifically is bad at faces (perhaps intentionally?) compared to the other models.

But at the current state of things, the details are usually wrong in every subject, not only people.
The core function of trusted computing was to lockout malware, so it does make sense that this needs to be handled by the OS.

That said, and as many others have pointed out: with great power comes great responsibility.

There are definitely two-sides to this. If we look at the iOS platform we have many developers who complain about the approval process, but we also have the platform with the least amount of malware by a significant margin despite the large/valuable install base.(1)

It’s also why I find it a bit crazy that the new EU rules will crack open a lot of that protection. They should have mandated for 3rd party approvals, not for a weaker anything-goes security model.

Everything you just said is true of rifles, grenades, swords, and spears.

Drones are weapons. They're one of the many tools of war. But war has always been about culture, food, politics, religion, demographics, and many other factors.

People win and lose wars. Weapons help.
If I were an airline I'd hook up a credit company middle man that pays the airline on reservation and owns the obligation. If the transaction on check-in doesn't work, then the customer owns the credit company money, not the airline who was already paid. This makes it exactly the same as buying the ticket with a credit card.

>How is this nothing else but blatant feudalism? And how is it still allowed

Because the moment anyone mentions this, they get bombarded with "think of the poor old people who sit on a big house! They worked hard for it!"

We as a society have a tendency to prefer leaving lucky people as is while the remainder fights for the scraps. Why this is, no clue. Beyond voting being in favor of those already owning homes (too fractured to oppose grandfathering politically), I come across this attitude among the young way too often. It doesn't take a genius to realize sharing less with more will cause people to go hungry eventually.

Those same young people are all pro-grandfathering until they realize the bottleneck bites their life goals at age 30 and beyond. By then its too late, many of them stop caring as they become part of homeowners, and the cycle continues.

I agree. There's something to be said for app/services that decide that medium sized is good enough and they'll stick to doing their one thing well. Flickr springs to mind (although is much past its hey-day). I know people who left facebook for Instagram because of the changes to facebook but the changes just followed them to Instagram.
Not being able to scrub video is an accessibility issue. If you don't catch something on the first watch, it's incredibly frustrating to re-watch the whole thing instead of going back a few seconds. Even if it's 'short' content. Looping the whole clip again isn't useful to someone who just wants to re-listen to one line so that they are sure they understood it correctly. In one case, a small nuisance; very frustrating in the general sense.

In the case of YouTube the extra pain is that I've trained 'double tap' a YT video for scrubbing. But what does that interaction do on a Short, in the YT app?! Like! It likes the video instead of scrubbing. On something that doesn't seem any different from a short normal YouTube video.
I'm curious, I've always validated an email as containin only one '@' and kept it that simple. This validation would cause that input to be rejected. I would love to know if my assumption was right, can an email address only have one `@`?
This feels like a complex solution, compared to just making the airlines pay interest on top of the sum they owe to the consumer. That would make repayments quasi-instant
>Not particularly great advice though, because then the challenge becomes identify those startups.

Only 1 out of 100 companies, if that, VCs invest in don't go out of business. Even with their ton of experience, their smart people, and all kinds of opportunities that you don't have, it's little more than guesswork on their side.

Trying to look for what is going to be a successful startup is a fool's errand. Pure luck.
How do people see Apache DataFusion fitting into this space?

I've also been following DuckDB for a while and remain very excited about it. I've only recently become aware of DataFusion and am building a small project with it but I've not seen much discussion on it or any benchmark comparisons.

DataFusion seems to be part of the Apache Arrow stable and they've done a great service to analytics space, with DuckDB also being big supporters. I'm hoping this means that DataFusion has a good chance of also getting good traction and adding another option in this space.

Also Substrait for future backend independence.

He has to move a bit but not flat out run all time. When the defense comes to try and tackle him he will try to avoid them a bit but he isn't going to out run them. A few other quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murry, Josh Allen, might avoid the defense and then run forward and gain yardage. Brady isn't going to do that very often and if does only for a few yards.

What he is very good at is seeing how the defense is setup before the play starts and then in the 2-6 second window before a defense guy gets to him, throw the ball to wherever the defense has not covered. This is much easier said than done. You throw a little off to the right or left, or to far or to short not only will your receiver miss it, the defense might catch it and run it back the other way to score points.

Basically very good at reading defense and after his assessment throwing accurately. He also in better shape than maybe 90% of 45 yearolds in the country.

Regulation operates like a ratchet - it's easy to add, but hard to remove, both due to the lobbying/entrenched interests that benefit from it, and the optics of one obscure accident blown out of proportion after some safety rule is removed. Not even getting to the PR and corruption aspects when it's first introduced - I mean, look at congress under either party.

I think that should be the default assumption; that a given regulation was added because of corruption and PR. There needs to be rigorous explanation on why it's needed; frankly if I could go back in time and magically change the Constitution in some way I'd try to engineer a practical sunset rule that would require all laws and regulations on all levels to expire in a few years and be re-voted-upon (the part where re-voting on many laws might prevent adding more laws is by design).

I feel like there's some sort of a trade-off bias involved here - like when people mistakenly assume that if someone is smart they are not sociable or if someone is beautiful they must be dumb. Most countries are capable of building stuff cheaper, with less rules and far less workers (the latter even applies in Europe). "Oh well but it's less safe". But is it? Does anyone measure that? The buildings and bridges in China don't appear to fall down any more often than in the USA.
