I mean, the other person might also just need a point of stability and can otherwise get much of their social enrichment elsewhere. Your partner can just be a person you get along with that you live with like a good buddy that you might have sex with (if you enjoy sex). Your partner doesn't have to be your spiritual guru, your therapist, your life coach, your obsession, your reason to live, etc.

It's not like Schizoid people go around sneakily pretending to love people only to turn off once the relationship is secured. Like any healthy relationship, open communication is expected. A schizoid person can simply say, "hey, I can't have a Hallmark Movie marriage" and their partner can just accept that. Maybe the partner is schizoid too. Maybe the relationship is an open one. Maybe the capacity to meet a schizoid person where they are is, in fact, the deep emotional validation that they share with each other that is the bedrock to the partnership (the schizoid person is finally accepted and can let down their guard a little, the partner gets an insight into their schizoid lover that no one else ever sees and revels in the intimacy and beauty of it). There are an infinite number of ways to have two adults enter an emotionally healthy relationship even if one of them is neurodivergent.

Four Myths of the Hydrogen Economy, Debunked
Billions of investment dollars are rushing into the hydrogen economy because the smart money knows it is the only fuel that can decarbonize energy-intensive industries like aviation in the near term. Here are some of the most common hydrogen myths and misconceptions debunked.

Many criticisms of cryptocurrency of the form, "...has x fraudulent facet..." also apply to traditional finance. What is being called "wash trading" in this article is called "algorithmic trading" on traditional asset exchanges, and is considered fair game/a bit funny (especially prior to the Jan 2022 decision to decimate all retirement portfolio growth due to QE).

The way this is dealt with on traditional markets is to simply draw a line on what trading is reported for mark-to-market (i.e., bids and asks for under 100 shares don't appear in the quote tick data). Other reactive measures such as circuit breakers like those bumped up against in March 2020 established due to the 2010 "flash crash" have also been put in place in traditional markets.

Forbes establishes a "proprietary" methodology to weight and attempt to sieve "real volume," which I can't agree or disagree with since it is opaque with regards to the precise implementation. Given the nature of their findings, I would call the title editorialized.
Personally I stopped using GameFaqs after Gamespot bought them because I was not a fan of Gamespot's reviews at the time.
One of the critical points here is using pretrained models to generate embeddings that the application level programmer uses. This technique isn't common knowledge among programmers without any ML experience, but is a key to getting good, generalizable that extend to unseen domains.
> even with sorting it is possible to be censorship free. You just need to include every matching result eventually

Do you honestly think that the people who complain about their favorite website being censored by Google would be satisfied with showing up on page 200*? I wouldn't.

It's only "not censorship" in the same sense that having your emails sent to the Spam folder isn't censorship. The spam folder, and low-scoring SERP results, are so full of items that every reasonable person acknowledges to be crap that getting banished to that area is pretty much equivalent to having someone blast your roadside protest with strobe lights and a sonic cannon. Surrounding you with so much garbage data that nobody can see or hear you any more is only "not censorship" on the dumbest technicality.

* Ignore, for sake of argument, the fact that page 200 won't even load in our universe. I'm imagining a parallel world where Google pretends to be censorship-free because they only push things far down in the results instead of removing them entirely.
For anyone curious about water levels around their region, the US Geological Service monitors water levels in real time across thousands of stations. I had a great discussion with a couple USGS data scientists at the RStudio conference in July.

Their remote monitoring stations report the data to their servers typically in 15 minute intervals.

If you're worried about the water level at a particular location, they have a service which allows you to get alerts if it exceeds a certain level. They're in the middle of redoing many of their online tools, so it's a mix of legacy and modern looking web development.

They get their funding from contracts with other federal agencies or private businesses, not directly from the government. For example, a company may have a permit that they can pull 100,000 cubic feet of water from a stream per day, but that the stream level must not go below 5 feet. USGS would add monitoring after the draw point and provide that data to the client (and public) at the client's expense.

>but the maintenance costs will be less than what you were paying before.

Presumably yes but especially older homes still require ongoing expenses. Some are admittedly flexible in a given year. But property taxes, insurance, utilities, and property/house maintenance can still hit $10,000 a year or so fairly easily (though big maintenance projects tend to be a bit lumpy).
My guess is the estimate comes from term frequency index which is pretty easy to build. Estimates of that can come from HyperLogLog or similar.

Asking for page 10,000 is asking the search engine to search and _rank_ 10,000 * 10 results and give you the last one. That's very expensive and ultimately useless - search is about finding what you're looking for on page 1, not on page 10,000 :)

So it is true that there are 225k+ repositories using Golang (you can compute that with an index scan once a week), but searching them is an entirely different problem.

Focus on Important Emails
Emails are, by design, both a key and a gateway to productivity.

But as it opens doors to business, it also opens them to unfiltered noise that might become a hindrance to your productive time.

There are many schools of thought to maximize productivity, and I want to share a couple that works for me:

*1- Zero-Inbox Email:*

This ensures you're converting all incoming emails to actions on your to-do list.

*2- Gmail shortcuts:*

E for archive, M for mute, X for select, etc.. are crucial to my productivity by allowing me to reach 0 inboxes faster.

*3- Prioritizing emails from your contact list:*

This is something that a few people realize is important. When you hit the ground and have a business running, you'd give more attention to emails from people on your contact list rather than outsiders reaching out to you with cold emails.

Unfortunately, Gmail doesn't offer such a filter, but there are a few tools that help you clean your inbox from outsiders' emails and label them for later check.

[Emailgurus.xyz] is my favorite as it's open source and solves that problem.

Emailgurus clearly states that they don’t record any of your Gmail data. All contact data is hashed, so only the user owns it. No one else. They prove that by opening the source of their code.

Another tool is Gated. Gated is free and hides outsiders’ emails from your inbox unless they pay for a charity of your choice. While the idea sounds fun, it is unclear what they are doing / will do with the data collected from your emails.

Success starts with a clean & organized inbox.
But it's how they use the credentials afterwards that's core to the disagreement over your use of the word phishing. Which is to say, you don't like or trust them, fine, but Plaid isn't a scam that's going to try and steal your money with those credentials it's gotten. Which makes it not phishing. Phishing involves an attacker trying to get those credentials in order to steal yo shit. Plaid is trying to perform a service on your behalf.

If I go to a store and pick up some items and leave with them is that stealing? How about if I pay for them?
What a wild take. Both factually incorrect and overly negative.

Do we really need a graph of a tech stock that goes "'20 Boom, '22 bust". Here's the thing - in this article about how Uber is beating Lyft, you could have shown a chart of Uber's stock price, and no one would've noticed the difference. Even the central thesis of the article is flawed. Both of these companies are starting to trade like they're big taxi companies. Which they are. The only advantage that Uber has is they do food delivery (that's going to go great during a recession) and scooters. Now, I don't know how much Uber makes on scooters, so shall we look at a competitor to see how well that industry is doing? Bird Scooter spac'd at 2.3Bn. How's that going? Oh well, you know, they're being delisted by NYSE because they're a penny stock.
Just listened to this - it was great. Augustine Fou was a fantastic interviewee and it made so much about the ad fraud market clear. I have bookmarked it by submitting the link on HN - well worth a listen to folks.
No, that's not what they are saying at all. The quote on the blog is misleading and leaves out important pieces. Here's the full thing:

I spoke to a long-time Microsoft and Facebook eng leader who left his post as a nonprofit software CEO due to burnout and then spent many months languishing and spiralling into depression.

He actually decided to get a job as an Amazon warehouse worker for 6 weeks for exactly the reason OP is struggling with: to get structure.

> In November, I suddenly thought, "I should at least get some sort of job somewhere just to have some regularity to my schedule, to enforce some daily practices". My number one priority was just to have structured work that would force me to get up every day—work that was very different from white collar jobs, in that I did not want to be asked to make a lot of decisions everyday.

> I didn't want the stress of managing people and teams. I didn't want the politics of subjective decisions being debated amongst team members. I wanted literally to be told what to do every day and I wanted that structure to be rigorous. I strongly felt that would help me get out of my depression.

Maybe the next blog post?
I seriously doubt this. The most expensive parts like CPUs and GPUs don't get cheaper. Their pricing for the entire life cycle is most likely negotiated and locked in at design time, in fact.

No one, not even Sony, can build PS5-class hardware and sell it at a profit for $500 at retail... not at launch time, and not on the last day of the product life cycle. Attach rate isn't everything in the console business, it's the only thing.
Doesn’t seem to match the facts?

I agree that it's very poorly written. The heading is especially confusing, it took me a long time to understand that "SerpAPI" was the search term, not a Google service. It is also the name of the company he's promoting, which makes it even more confusing.

But I don't agree that it's "obvious" that "you're not going to be able to browse to page 187,398,384 to get those results. I would argue that a search result is only a search result if you can actually view it. If not, it's just a marketing, or statistics.

Highway ads are bad because they distract drivers. Some states like AK and VT have banned billboard already.
I will add yet another voice to the heap saying "nope, targeted is worse." The point of ads is to trick me into buying something I don't need, I'd rather they were less efficient.

Further, lots of smart people are working on the project of ads. Talented programmers and data scientists. Hopefully less efficient ads will result in a less lucrative ad sector, and more of these folks can be convinced to do something productive with their talents.

As someone who uses the very shallow metric of "length of use" - thinking it is somehow a strong argument point, I'm guessing my judgement, critical thinking, understanding is greater than yours.

The "tradeoff" is MORE PEOPLE die of suicide with SSRIs (et al) being prescribed than if they weren't allowed to be prescribed.

"MDMA is know to commonly cause depressive crashes" is another shallow-narrow scope counter argument you put forward. A "depressive crash" - and arguably, in the right container with the right guidance can be avoided, and in fact is underlying depressed state that a person is connecting to - is not akin to people literally killing themselves from SSRIs.

'"Suicide Tuesday" is the nickname given to the trend for people who use xtc all weekend committing suicide when they fully come down from the high on Tuesday.'

You're bringing in abuse, an excess of something, as a supportive argument point? People also accidentally or purposefully recklessly drink too much or take too many opiates - perhaps in hopes they die.

You also put forward a straw man argument - I never said MDMA was a panacea.

Are you aware of the MAPS.org FDA approved clinical trials for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for veterans with an average of 17.5 treatment resistant PTSD, where after just 2-3 sessions, in 1 year time 80% no longer qualified for a PTSD diagnosis vs. the placebo group where 80% had no improvement? Using therapeutic doses of 100-120mg.

Do you know what the efficacy of SSRIs are, what the tradeoff your arguing and in support of? 3-7% better than placebo depending on the research you look at - and you kill people (through suicide and homicide) that otherwise wouldn't have died; and this happens at prescribed doses, not abusing the medications.
This is true and unfortunately a lot of CS grads think that they’ll get a programming job right out of college, but fall short of candidates that took a 6 month bootcamp. It also hurt that most graduates I’ve interviewed can’t program anything more than a simple fizz buzz. Although not strictly CS, I think CS needs to teach codebase design and more on how to use/create apis.
Believing which statement?
It is also worth remembering that a mechanical license is limited.

It allows you to perform a work yourself (privately) to create a new audio recording of that work[1]. What is known as a "cover". But other than sell the new cover audio as CD, mp3, etc, or have it get played on the radio or audio streaming services, there is not much more you can do.

It does not allow your cover band to perform the work publicly. (Normally this gets covered by the venue, either via ASCPA/BMI licensing, or via individual negotiation with the rights-holder, but in some cases, like temporary venue fully orgnaized by the band, the band may need to acquire such rights.) Remember that any form of live-streaming is also public performance.

It does not allow your cover band to create a music video, or to use your cover recording as background music in a video you create. (For either of these you need a "synchronization license" that the work holder can simply refuse, and there is no simplified ASCAP-like mechanism for handling these negotiations)

It may also surprise many to learn that recording artists are not technically entitled to royalties for use of their songs over the radio. Indeed, recording artists of any kind[2] only get royalties for digital music transmission when certain exemptions don't apply, and get no protection at all for non-digital transmission.[3]

The whole music copyright system is basically a giant mess, and does not work how a reasonable person would expect it to work.

Footnotes:

[1] Or to duplicate an existing audio recording if you also have permission of owner of the copyright for that particular audio recording.

[2] unless they happen to be the musical work copyright holder as well, which is not uncommon, but hardly universal.

[3] Realistically they were only granted this digital public performance right, because a digital transmission of a digitally recorded phonorecord is hard to distinguish from copying said phonorecord.
Thanks for pointing out the propaganda aspect, despite how dangerous a tiny amount of fentanyl is, law enforcement and other respected groups are elevating it to a mythical boogeyman status far beyond fentanyl's capabilities!

All because everyone else self-censors.

Show HN: Music video using AI (Stable Diffusion) and a text editor – You can too
I went nuts on Sunday after stumbling on this animator script for the automatic branch: https://github.com/Animator-Anon/Animator

And then it's a ton of keyframing. I also found that the timings all have to be earlier than the timestamp you want to account for how long it takes to denoise to your new scene - so like .4 gives smoother but longer, .7 is snappy. To get stuff to keep showing up and stay dynamic you can zoom out continuously, it needs a UI, badly.

If you're on windows you'll need ffmpeg too.

There was actually a class-action lawsuit about this, but Sony played a lot of games to keep the rationale for locking out OtherOS out of the discovery process. It wound up being just another one of those kinds of settlements - i.e. a large-sounding number being awarded to so many plaintiffs in the class that its basically pennies per person.

My guess is that they don't want to say the quiet part out loud: i.e. they took away OtherOS because they weren't getting the tariff exemptions they wanted and they don't actually want people using these devices for non-royalty-bearing activities (e.g. piracy and homebrew).
What is the actual problem this is trying to solve? Are there programming languages it was previously hard to write web apps in? Do people not like setting up nginx?

From my understanding the benefit of wasm on the server side is generally that you get the sandboxing inherent in the VM. Why would you want that in the context of Apache? Are people planning on running untrusted code?

If mod_wasm is designed to address any of those issues (which are touched on only briefly in the article), it would be nice for it to describe how using wasm improves over other techniques one might use to solve those problems like using containers or VMs for encapsulating the execution environment.

I'm just judging by the multiple 200+ year old trees in my own yard. There is no way anything remotely close to these trees will grow back in 30 years. Or go walk around Olympic National Park, which is very close to BC both in distance and climate. Ask yourself if it's possible to replace that forest in 30 years.

If Google struggles, when would you pay
Nope, not a suggestion to pay for search.

But what’s clear is for nuanced answers or topics with depth, most people’s starting point - is a question.

Etc etc How do I fix back pain? What e-commerce platform should I use? Should I use Facebook ads for my brand? Should I move country? [Insert tech stack question here]?

Google used to be an effective starting point to find insightful responses to that question, albeit you’d filter some responses. Now confronted with lots and lots of identikit responses, SEO spam or SEO content for tangential services, it’s become very difficult to answer those questions.

What I’m trying to figure out, is whether there’s a format that people would be willing to pay for to get depth in those answers?

There seems a huge gulf in consumption style between barely useful snippets that Google so readily provides and the complexity of an online course.

Is there an in-between market? Pay per article? Pay per something? Or will no-one ever pay for content perceived as free ever?
I'd say Google should be in a pretty good spot with Android + search engine.
