Targeted ads is why we see an explosions in new companies. With traditional marketing, new companies had no way to reach an audience effectively. You could start a company but couldn’t build a customer base. With targeted advertising, it gave us things like free trading with Robinhood that leveraged targeted ads to buy installs. It gave us a bunch of new banking options that offer zero fees. It gave us new clothing brands, razors, workout equipment, cosmetics and washable rugs.

Killing targeted ads will just mean the incumbents will dominate and without competition, consumer prices will rise. Gillette did their first price reduction because of dollar shave club is an example.
The military basically threw anything anywhere until the 60s. There wasn't much of a concept of being careful with it.
There is no frame of reference here to other Russian attack. This would be unprecedented and it could either be nothing for the neighbours or it could spiral out of control very quickly. And the situation depends on how close to the border+airport is OP going to be.
Thanks captain obvious, what you stated are public health issues. Also, money isn’t everything and unfortunately a lot of Americans use that as justification to keep playing a game that is going to kill them and/or their family member. Way too much is spent on administration of health care plans and nobody is getting good value for their money. We spend the most, and we get the worst outcomes overall of any developed country. Even things we used to excel at we are doing very poorly due to staffing, regulation, and other issues.

Honestly, the quality of care is not OK at all in the US. Just check out r/medicine and r/nursing. We are in for a whole lot of really terrible stuff.

Seriously, if someone in your immediate family gets sick and needs to be hospitalized, stay with them 24/7, even if it means sleeping on the floor. Nurses say they will do the same thing for their family members.

Anyways, I ended up spending 9 weeks in the hospital this summer. It started at a trauma hospital, where I stayed for 18 days. The first 90 hours (3.5 days) they did not even give me any long acting insulin, even though my body does not produce any insulin and I can not metabolize without long acting basal insulin. (I was never on an insulin drip either, and I was never on a high dependency unit where the insulin drip could occur.) My family had to beg and plead with them to give me basic diabetes care, including the long-acting insulin. (I was too, the whole entire time.)

The first week my blood sugars averaged overall around 400 mg/dL (22 mmol/L), and chief trauma resident and trauma fellow were explaining to trauma residents outside of my room when someone with type 1 diabetes is at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. Such a basic matter.

Anyways the rest of the story is for another time.
I don't think they're saying the word fetch means irrelevance. They're saying fetch is something irrelevant. :)
Raspberry Pi availability has been such a bottleneck for PrintNanny.ai (deployed to a Raspberry Pi 4).

Rather than wait around for stock to become available, I've decided to expand to Rock Pi and Orange Pi. I had to roll my own Linux distro and build tools to match the experience provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation (e.g. SD card imaging tool). ... but where there's a will, there's a way.

It didn't exactly seem like a quick process...
For many search terms the first few pages are nothing but advertisement and sites gaming Google search. I'd love to go beyond page 10. Not with Google, even if says "100k results found". It just doesn't bring them money to link to those pages
Sometimes people write iot projects and target the pi because they are familiar with it (it's like a computer with gpio) when their use case could be better served by a less powerful microcontroller such as the esp32. Perhaps people in this group can use this as an opportunity to learn esp32 development. It's arduino ide compatible and has good support on platformio.
How is this better, climate wise, than burning the methane directly? Methanol still has the same amount of carbon in it.
The pi foundation was started by a group of Broadcom engineers. If not for that connection, Broadcom would likely have never given them the time of day - they are notoriously bad to deal with if you are a small company.

It's possible they see this as some sort of marketing, but I don't think they are using it to drive a sales funnel of low-volume customers.
I've been using these for probably over ten years now for a home router, they've been solid and haven't had any problems at all:

What's the official threshold for how many people have to die per year from something that is not related to tech to get a news story about it to the top of hacker news feed ? Dividing the number in the study by 3 and rounding up, and adding a bit for good measure, the answer seems to be about 500.

I'll do my part. Here's an article on all the ways you can die from household accidents which kill 18,000 Americans, probably including mothers with newborns, every year. I am sure that almost all of these were preventable.

I recently purchased a Quartz64B, which turns out to be a very new model. If you're looking at a board from Pine64, I'd say go for the Rock64 if you want something more likely to work with your preferred OS.
Origin-served ads cannot be blocked by host-based adblockers, but can be blocked by hueristics-based adblockers.

I'd implemented a variant of this as banner ads began increasing in prevalence in the late 1990s / early aughts, using CSS to filter out standard banner sizes and path elements. Tools such as uBlock Origin incorporate far more sophisticated variants of this. It's also possible to block (or selectively permit) specific page elements with a CSS editor (e.g., Stylus), with web proxies (including SSL/TLS terminating proxies), or other means.

My experience is that if a site tries excessively hard to cram ads down my throat, I'll kill it and look elsewhere.

For a long time the argument was that this was a limited technically-sophisticated niche response, and that "the average person" didn't care and wouldn't bother. The increasing prevalence of ad-blocking tools and default incorporation (e.g., in the iOS platform) suggests that the barrier is knowledge and skill rather than of caring, and that people who can block ads in general will.

This itself should be a cautionary note to both advertisers and advertising platforms, as the trend will be to drive the audience bar further down sophistication and means capabilties, meaning what ad content is shown aims at less remunerative segments, and tends toward ever-increasingly noxious methods. That story ends poorly, as do most Gresham's Law dynamics.

(A similar point is made more pithily here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33067889>)
This is def me. Interestingly, I have a terrible memory when it comes to facts and names and things I read in books and so on and so forth. But I have a way-above-average situational memory. Interactions with people (or code), conversations and reasons why decisions were made tend to stick forever. It's bizarre. Granted I'm not Paul McCartney interacting with innumerable people across time and space over a whole lifetime, but this story felt familiar because I can imagine something like this happening to me.
>Besides, elements of the left are already aggressive, in the wrong way. Personally I think allowing race to supplant class as the primary talking point has been a huge mistake. You essentially alienate a great many people who would otherwise share a common interest by allowing the issue to be morphed into a blame game with fingers pointed across racial lines.

Why is it race instead of class and not race AND class?

Also, who has been canceled inappropriately? In fact, who has even suffered significant consequences for being cancelled? My impression is that it's a band of rapists who become right wing celebrities and get book deals.

I think the people being pushed right are:

1. Generally already on the right

2. If they are pushed, it's by the internal contradictions on the left. And those internal contradictions are caused by a wavering of conviction, not an excess
Imagine a world where, if interested in baby stuff, you paid money for articles on baby stuff, and advertisers knew to buy pages of ads among those articles; or if you watched TV shows about people doing baby stuff, advertisers knew to bookend those shows with baby stuff?

Research shows contextual advertising (the way it was done for ever before retargeting became a thing) beats retargeting for both purchases per dollar of ad spend and consumer appreciation / satisfaction (versus annoyance).
This person seems like they are suffering from typical tech bubble non-awareness disease. They always strive to make the world a better place as… a director of Facebook. Debatable. Early retirement is such a nightmare for me that.. I became an Amazon Warehouse Associate out of boredom? I’m not sure how any of this narcissism is making the world a better place.
I've never heard of arachnophobia being a fear of webs rather than, you know, the actual arachnids. It's utterly bizarre to me that that would be GP's first thought...
A zero-sum game is where one party has to lose for another to win. This is seemingly a win-win scenario, where there's both money to be saved and there are important ecological benefits. That makes it a lot easier to adopt, although still far from free in the sense that it requires new equipment, training, etc.
I appreciate the clarification. It's still not clear to me to me whether the MMRC decided suicide was a pregnancy related death (as note 2 under table 4 seems to indicate). I think your interpretation was the MMRC decided which suicides were pregnancy related, whereas mine was that the MMRC decided that suicides within 1 year were pregnancy related.
What is your definition of "a better place"?

The vast majority of products people buy help them solve problems of all kinds. An economic transaction is a win-win for both buyers and sellers. Look at products like the computer, the car, the telephone, etc. I think the world is becoming a better place as a result.
After the search result appears and I click one of the search result. It will then open a new tab for the website I click, but the old tab with search result will redirect to the page I mentioned. It's annoying because when I wanted to go back to the search result and click on another website, I found the results were gone.

I believe that the association of Stoic logic with Stoicism might have been the cause for it being forgotten.

The early Christians viewed both Stoicism and Epicureanism as competitors, so after they obtained the power in the Roman Empire they have made efforts to discredit and persecute anyone and anything associated with those 2 philosophies.

On the other hand, Aristotle and Plato were more distant in the past and more disconnected from the then current political issues, so they were not perceived as threats and their study continued without impediments.
From what I remember with the launch of the Pi, I think the demand far exceeded their expectations. Remember that the thing was launched as an educational computer for schools, with a model A and B variant. At least from this article [1] it sounds like they contracted the work to build the boards out to Premier Farnell/Element 14. They originally had to do a lot of the manufacturing in China to keep the board cost low.

Eventually Sony stepped in and offered production capacity at a place in Wales UK which I think improved availability a lot.

I noticed today I can't find the Chrome flag (v105) to enable its reader mode. It's like they just nuked it since it made articles actually readable. It's not a huge deal, but I liked not having to launch another service like Pocket.
I mean.... I have 12 years experience and I do each and every one of these things in the last year. I've submitted Pull Requests with 5k lines of code. Some things are impossible to efficiently test, or force the code to be contorted to satisfy the test. I'm currently editing an ancient procedural code base which is almost older than me and one of the files is over 50k lines. When we edit it we try to add comments as literally no one on the team has any idea how anything works. If you figure it out, you are almost guaranteed to not remember it by next week.

IMHO a lot of dogmatism leaves you over the years as it just doesn't matter. If you insist on a dogmatism you are limiting yourself and your team.

Just to add a little humanity here among all the numbers, I would have loved to have known my mother. I'm sure adopted children have similar thoughts, but I doubt there's anything quite the feeling of being given life during another's unwitting sacrifice. Would she have changed anything had she known the outcome? It occurred to me from a young age that I should try my best not to squander my opportunities in life.
> If you're arguing the government should be able to break up any company it likes, for any reason it decides

That's great, because I'm not arguing that. My post does not imply as such either. You are creating a fake argument that is easier for you to argue against.

"Ought to" is the basis of rule of law. By what measure do you decide that a "monopoly" is bad? It has certain outcomes, some positive, some negative, but on balance government in previous generations decided that they are negative.

But once you know that the outcome is negative, what do you do about it? You only take another step and break it apart if you decide that you "ought to" do so. Because you place value in a healthy society, or you place value in non-monopolistic market competition, or you place value in something else. But whatever you choose, in order to justify actually action you inevitably rely on an "ought to."

If the reason for breaking up monopolies is to improve society, in some broad sense, then you could use a similar reason to break up companies that are harmful to society. We do sanction companies that damage the environment, or lie to consumers with false claims, etc.

There is always an "ought to."
Oh, yeah, that is actually funny, "but I fear tomorrow I'll be crying."
I get you, it is just that reality of it all creeps in from behind the veil of 'funny' for me too much.
That's non-sense. I omitted inflation data because the parent post had that for similar numbers and did not list the source used. My attempts gave significantly different numbers, so if I gave inflation adjusted numbers, it would be a misleading comparison vs the numbers in the parent's post.
That's nominal, severely outdated, and severely misleading. Ireland is the third richest [1] country in the world on paper as far as GDP/capita PPP measures, while in reality the household income/capita is a small fraction of that. The reason their GDP is so high is that hundreds of multinationals (including Google, Facebook, Apple, etc) filter large sums of money through Ireland in tax avoidance schemes. It's one of the best examples of how GDP is a very silly metric.

Incidentally, it's also the only country in the EU with a higher GDP/capita than the US.

A lot of folks have pointed to rpilocator, but my experience is that they made the situation far worse. Prior to the launch, I was able to buy a couple of pi’s per month without too much effort (registering for stock notifications). Since rpilocator, I’ve only managed to buy about 3 pi’s in total. Unless I’m able to drop everything on a notification, there’s no chance. And even if I can do this, I get the feeling that I’m competing against a crowd that’s automated the purchasing process.
Cynically, Hydrogen subsidies today are simple greenwashing of traditional Oil & Gas subsidies and still are benefit the same corporate coffers. Most hydrogen production is a side project of the oil & gas companies and a "by product" of refining operations.

It's hardly a luxury to pick a different job, this is complete and utter bollocks. There are people up and down the income and educational spectrum that do it, of every race, etc.

The narrative that people are forced to work a specific job is false and should not be reinforced.
On the other side of it, I recently decided to let go of the idea of structure. I spent a large portion of my life trying to be one of those structured productive people with habits and such. I have a wide array of skills and none of them were gained from habits and structure, they were gained from following a passion.

I'm happier now, my spirals are smaller, I forgive myself easier. I also think I am more productive.

Not saying one shouldn't seek structure and try to make it for themselves. If that's your path, go for it. But for me, I think that ideal was harmful and hindered a lot.
Happened to me as well. Mostly in private mode. After I submitted that I'm not a bot a few times, it blocks me less and less.
This. So much this. Over quarantine I found myself spending increasing amount of time cooking after coding time. Just because the difference of doing something productive with your hands is so sorely missed.

If something bridged those two, like Minority report but with even more movement, it would be gold.

Someone ITT mentioned warehouse jobs and workout endorphins coloring our view, but I think its more missing just moving things around with your hands.
Working in an Amazon warehouse can be refreshing and restorative when you can quit after 10 weeks and have millions of dollars in the bank. Not so much when you get tendonitis after 6 weeks but have to stare down another 30 years of this and still won’t have any savings.
Not ITX, but if you are willing to accept a custom form factor (which are even smaller) check out ServeTheHome's Project TinyMiniMicro, they are great bang/buck for that kind of thing. If you can wait for some company to go through an upgrade and dump a load up on ebay or whatever, you can get particularly good deals.

They aren't going to be quite as small or efficient as a Raspberry Pi or equivalent, but instead you get full x86-64 cores, and they are still pretty small and efficient.
Omitting the context very clearly makes it sound like they sell your personal information, when the paragraph is actually referring to disclosing the data in an M&A transaction. The "buyer" here is not a buyer of data but the buyer of the company. Even you said "from reading this blog post it seems like yet another evil company trying to suck up PII from unsuspecting victims and sell it".
Apple blocked targeted ads based on track individuals, and collecting personal data. There are plenty of ways of serving targeted ads without the tracking.

The most obvious approach is content based targeting. If someone is reading an article about baby names, put ads for baby clothes next to it. If there’re reading an article about cloud infrastructure, put an AWS ad next to it.

People managed to make and sell perfectly good adverts long before Facebook and Google came along. Have you never noticed that every advert in a trade magazine targets people in that trade?
For dark mode, the site shows white text on pure black, to help shave energy use on OLED displays. For light mode, the site shows black on pure white.

The text should look great across most browsers/sites, and I make sure the layout flows well if you increase or decrease font size... but if you can send a screenshot of what you're seeing and your device/screen configuration, I can take a look at what might be going on.

More like a legitimate failure to react to illegitimate stimulus. It underperforms when not honest.

In any case the definition explicitly talks about appearances and expressions, not feelings.
In reference to (1) - I'm not so sure this is the case. Competition amongst advertisers will drive up CPM / CPC until the point of margin. The real loser here is the publisher, wasting money on server bandwidth.

As an example, if the max CPA for furniture suppliers is $500, if we eliminate ad fraud, furniture suppliers won't get a cheaper CPA, they'll competitively bid up the CPM / CPC until the point of a $500 CPA once again.
Yeah that was what I meant but everyone else seems to be commenting except the person I was replying to lol. I am not attacking databases I am just wondering what they used it for on a wedding website.
> I disagree with this perspective. You should have multiple accounts but only if your organisation requires it for isolation or data protection reasons and only enough to perform the task.

I'm not sure where you got your take from. The blog post you're commenting explicitly makes the case for multiple AWS accounts with isolation in mind. In fact, the blog post barely mentions anything beyond isolation. How can you claim you agree and disagree at the same time?
What is the top app that ppl are using Rpis for these days, in qty?
I might not remember this right, but I don't think that the memory limitation was a factor, as they were often used with rudimentary dialup terminal software as a dumb serial terminal dialing in to a newspaper run system. The story would sometimes be typed live from the reporter's notes directly into the shell session of the remote (minicomputer, etc) system on the far end. This mean that even if there was 5-8KB of text it wouldn't be a problem.

Then any formatting/line wrapping/typo and other mistakes from the raw submitted story would be fixed by copy editors from their local workstations.
Are pre-existing conditions still grounds to deny coverage?
That the Beatles were astoundingly, uniquely talented actually became fodder for right wing conspiracy theories [1]. I remember a relative in 1974 asking rhetorically how four uneducated working class men could produce music of musical genius. The actual story is the Beatles had a remarkable series of musical opportunities, from the background described here to studying with some of the Greatest American Rock and Rolls to endless performance in their first gigs.

IMO I don't really trust amazon reviews. I use amazon because they have a very effective shipping and return network and system, with a very broad set of items that pretty much nobody else reproduces. It's their fulfillment network essentially. Order from random retailers (even with shopify) and you're reminded why amazon is in the lead, with gotchas in return polices that get pretty irritating. Order from target / walmart and you notice how much is missing.

Amazon wins because it's more like visa or a physical goods internet than a specific store.
