Is it just me or does it feel like the major tech companies have completely lost the war against bots/spam? Search results are regressing across multiple online services[1] - Google, Amazon, and app stores are all filled with junk and scams. Reviews for products are generally filled to the brim with bots or paid reviews.

[1] I've noticed the re-emergence of Experts Exchange style sites on Google recently. For technical questions Stack Overflow or official docs are often near the bottom of the first page, while sites like w3schools or geeksforgeeks are at the top with much less useful content.

Thanks for the product. Unbelievable.
> How can they possibly do this without exposure to liability?

They can’t, just like human drivers can’t drive without liability, which is why insurance is required for all drivers.

Auto insurance companies determine rates based on risk that’s assessed based on many factors related to the driver. They could do the same by assessing the risk associated with using the software. At least then it would have some kind of independent review.
Is it time for a browser extension to ad block Amazon internals?
I do similar but actually prefer the product with the lower amount of reviews as IMO a product with 200 reviews is more likely to have real reviews than one with 20k reviews, they just look fake to me.
I don't think anyone is staying there by choice now. Most stayed because of visa issues. Some might have stayed because of Musk's wow factor.
I don’t think there’s all that much concern about incentive packages tied to performance.

The question in my mind is: how much compensation is required to provide that incentive? And is it reasonable for that to result in a small portion of people making not just more than the typical person, but astronomically more to the point where the typical person is left very nearly broke and powerless?
I do think that he's moving to be an ally for them.
Damn, why did people create companies for the past 300 years ? Why did people become entrepreneur ? They didn't have anywhere close to 400 times their workers salary, must have been a miserable life

1) LinkedIn is not at all a different bucket then FAANG but it allows advertisers to put together and target a filtered and relevant audience for such offerings (people tend to lie less on LinkedIn profiles so the jobs titles/experience /industry are quite accurate plus nowadays LinkedIn is quite a lot like FB, people spend more time browsing that feed - even when they are not looking to change jobs).

2) Tech forums / communities are generally less judging against talking about your own offering, especially when relevant for the discussions happening there naturally.

3) yes, paid blog posts and advertorials as well as paid insertions (short articles, banners) in relevant newsletter are still a thing but you must really find matching partners that address the audience you are looking to hit with your tech.

Good luck!
Visas like H-1B can be limiting career mobility until the employee gets a green card. Under H-1B quitting a job means committing to move back to your country in a month or so. It's traumatic.

Algorithm is the correct word. Why don't you think it is?
The word "viipera" (long "i") was contracted from "vivipara" (Latin "v" was pronounced like English "w", which favorised the contraction of sequences like "wiwi" into "wii", in a few words), with also the regular change of the unaccented "a" into "e", which happened in all the older Latin words. "Vivipara" is the feminine form of the Latin word that is the source of English "viviparous".

The vipers are unusual between snakes by giving birth to live young, instead of laying eggs, like most snakes.

Both "noun stem with final vowel changed to i" and "noun stem followed by epenthetic i" have happened.

The former to the stems ending in "a" or "o", the latter to the stems ending in a consonant. An alternative interpretation would be that for the stems ending in a vowel the final vowel was removed and an epenthetic "i" has been added, but this is a more artificial interpretation, because there was never an intermediate stage having an "o" stem or "a" stem without the final vowel.

There also exists one case of an older compound word where the initial noun was a stem ending in "i", but the final "i" has been dropped, and the verb remained as a bare root, without forming a stem by the addition of a vowel: "avspec-", which means bird-watcher (with the nominative written as "avspex", i.e. "auspex" in the modern spelling, the source of English "auspices"), from "avi-" = bird and "specere", the non-frequentative form of "spectare". Another example of an old compound word with no epenthetic "i" and with only the bare root of the verb is "juudic-" = judge (justice-sayer, from "juus" and "dicere"). With the exception of a few inherited old compound words like these, all the compound noun+verb words coined more recently used an "i" ending for the noun and a verb stem terminated in the vowel corresponding to the gender.

While you were partially right that the compounds with "ferre" and "gerere" are the most numerous, for the obvious reason that one can form such a compound word for any object that can be carried, there are a large number of Latin words made from nouns with other verbs.

Lol.

The full picture gets worse the more you look into it.

The largest home builders in the nation aren’t building homes at budgets that most can afford.

So you’d say to yourself, well clearly they’re targeting the affluent then. Except there are only so many high income Americans you can sell to, and not all of them want expensive homes.

So what do these builders do? They build-to-rent! Yep. Those single-family homes you see in many large developments you can just think of as so-called “luxury” apartments by a different name.

I suspect most developed nations experiencing this issue are effectively stuck and growth capped markets.

Truly only dedicated policy targeting this problem will make a change, because the capital required to obtain land, rezone it for traditional residential building, then sell it requires either institutional capital, or small builders doing one-offs for select clients.
I myself at one point took Contrave for weight loss, and it was effective at cutting appetite (with the side effect of terrible motion sickness), however I don't recommend it.

I'm going to make a personal offer here which I wouldn't normally do, but after a six year journey, I've finally figured out what works (for me at least, and I think for other people like me). I've managed to take off 50 pounds, and I now know that I'll never be fat again.

The skinny people are wrong, it's not exercise, it's not willpower, it's not some magic fad diet (not no carb, not no fat, not no suger, etc.). There are some real changes, simple changes (though definitely not easy), and you can be in control again.

If you'd like to give it a try, I created a gmail account with the two initials of this site and the word weight. Send me an email, and if I'm not already overloaded, I'll try to help you out. You've got to be at least 50 pounds overweight (and I'll ask you to verify it). I'll prioritize people who've ever lost a significant amount of weight (shows you can work hard at weight loss), and it'll probably take at least six months to make the necessary changes before you can lose weight, but once you do, you can be as aggressive with the weight loss as you want (I lost 50 pounds in about 4 months).

Check my comments on this site, I'm a real person with a real history. This is not one weird trick, and I'm not charging anyone. The changes you need to make will probably cost you some money (not going to me), and they will be hard, but you won't be spending time in a gym, you won't be hungry or starving, and the changes you make will be sustainable.

[Edit] To be clear on the money, this is not some way for me to make money, I'm talking about the cost of a doctor visit to see if you have a thyroid problem, or perhaps the cost of your food being more expensive. There is no money that will go to me in any way whatsoever.

If I am able to help people, and it's not just for me that it works, I'll open up and share this more publicly later.
The main barrier to poverty is that there is a statistically almost no way to meaningfully save up enough money to get out of poverty, by onesself, just by forgoing anything that doesn't contribute directly to food and shelter.

Literally: what is the point of saving up 5$/wk? That's less than 300$ by the year. What can you realistically do to get yourself out of poverty for a one-time payment of 300$? You can't even afford therapy to help you get yourself out of immense, soul-crushing burnout because you've been doing nothing to enrich yourself psychologically such as companionship, entertainment, or gifting yourself a nice meal all year.

10$/wk is $520. You can't even start a business selling soap on etsy for 520$. You can maybe get a loan to do so, but now you're on the hook for even more debt for entrepreneurship and the majority of businesses fail.

This is assuming you never have a health problem, you never need medical care, you never have someone you love need medical care, and you have superhuman discipline to go without love, joy, and little pleasures in life for a year.
> which again brings in the subjective judging of whether the thing is important or not

Completely agree.

> far less than clothes dryers, and far less than gold mining (and gold mining is pretty horrible for human rights and land destruction as well).

Agree too.

> I would rather just tax the externalities and let people decide how to spend inside of that.

Mhm, I don't believe in the effectiveness of this and I think we need something stronger than this, but that's a belief. One problem with taxing externalities is that richer people get to waste more with fewer consequences than poorer people a.k.a they have a right to pollute more / more power to pollute and I don't think we should be able to buy "pollution power". Currently, the amount of money one have is actually already roughly equivalent to one's power to pollute. Limiting the amount of CO2 each people can spend (without the ability to transfer, because that's equivalent to being able to buy pollution power", equally, might be fairer, and that would probably eliminate PoW mining because people will probably want to "spend" their limited amount of pollution in other ways.

Of course, I'd even prefer that people reach the conclusion that PoW mining is heresy and decide by themselves not to do that. That's an opinion, of course.
You have to be really poor for Medicaid. Back when I relied on it via income qualification (before I qualified through an obscure loophole that I found via figuring out the website page structure of MDHHS and manually searching every single posted BEM manual (social work manual) - totally a normal and cool thing that most people would think of and know how to do /s), I had to make under 1100/mo.

GROSS income.

So basically I had to choose between healthcare for MS and the other basics in my life.
Gergely Orosz has been engagement farming this ongoing saga for weeks now (I had to mute him on Twitter). Kind of makes him a bit hypocritical when taking advantage of this situation for his own enrichment, no? I wonder how many books he's sold in the meantime. Also, acting like engineers that have been making six-figures for years now are some kind of underclass is a bit ridiculous, but that's neither here nor there.

This is where your argument keeps falling down for me. This may be your view, but I and many others find great benefit in Bitcoin. I dry my clothes on a clothesline, but don't feel that electric clothes dryers should be made illegal (not sure if you are arguing for this as OP does).

If you are interested in reading about the ways in which Bitcoin benefits different people around the world I recommend the writing of Alex Gladstein of the Human Rights Foundation.

See “The Sam Vimes “Boots” Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness”:

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

In the crypto space the long tail of projects suffer from lack of devs and there is always a need for new tools. Often the DAOs running the treasury can vote to provide you money to build it.

In the traditional space I had a fairly profitable tool that was for a puzzle-like F2P game (think similar to Words with Friends) that ranked highly on Google. That was ad supported but the hardcore players of the game would use it. I wound up selling it for $5k on an app flipper website when the traffic started to decline as the game got older.
Hang in there, buddy.

Makes sense!

I've actually had a similar feature request before: https://github.com/lindylearn/unclutter/issues/297

Have you tried some of the existing solutions mentioned in the ticket? I'm curious if they solve the problem for you, and if not, what Unclutter could do better.
Honestly, It's surprising how someone who managed to get a car and rockets company up and running can cause so much chaos.

This looks so unprofessional, erratic and unnecessary even if you want to cut down headcount and have a political motivation behind the take over, that it shocks me, honestly.

I guess that when someone is that wealthy you can duck-tape mistakes with money and move on.

I've complained many times about the effects of the so called "woke" ideology has, particularly outside of the US, but I don't think this is the way to do it.

If EM thinks this is a way of helping free speech and turn the volume down on some deranged ideologies, I don't think this is moving towards that goal.
I started using semaglutide 5 months ago. Combined with proper nutrition and working out (mainly walking 3x week), I have managed to lose 20kg in 5 months. I absolutely recommend it for people who have trouble losing weight.
I agree it's a hard sell.

I have to say though, the cost of re-acquiring the planes is not a simple thing to evaluate, at least if you think strategically what is best for the country.

The cash cost is irrelevant compared to the cost to society if we actually had to use them. I guess what I'm trying to say is, using them now has a known, huge cost. Not using them, can have a much higher cost later on.

But if we are disregarding what is feasible, and just playing RISK, Sweden should just send its own figher pilots and planes to the Ukraine, right now. It wouldn't be a NATO attack, and what is Russia going to do? Bleed on us? It's either that or nukes, but they always threaten with nukes for everything. I see no signs the Kremlin wants to be martyred themselves, just send others that way.

The quote is not from twitter but by Věra Jourová, the EU’s vice-president in charge of the disinformation code. "They" in this context is the EU commission.

Here in Sweden we have a long standing political guideline when it come to politicians and media/news/culture/free speech. Politician should keep a minimum arm-length distance so to not enter temptation of controlling those part of society.

Partnership in this context is also a bit weird. The EU commission does not have a police force nor do they enforce the law. The commission role is draft legislation, arbitrate in the legislative process, engage in trade negotiations, and draw up the budget of the European Union.
I'm sure people do it, the bribes are probably not very good. Sadly the company can probably get Amazon to take down the review in that case.

Reviews for sellers themselves are a joke too, I was looking at some earlier today, via black friday deals. The number of reviews with a line through them and "Amazon takes responsibility for this fulfillment-related experience" was hilarious, when those reviews were things like "the motor doesn't work". I guess those then aren't included in the "90% positive" statistic.

Well, you know, I've been homeless and poor. I've spent most of my adult life unemployed. I lost everything I owned.

I had to learn adulting under duress. Many poor people don't know (or they fear) basic things like how to prepare meals, wash clothes, pay bills, clean the house. Many people choose the freedom of homelessness over the burdens of operating a household.

SNAP is a supplement, of course, and totally unnecessary even if you're dirt-poor. You can get by on food boxes and other donated food, free meals in parks and at churches, etc. SNAP does have a lot of hurdles in place.

Once again, there's no poverty in these United States for those who are determined and not overly impaired. Perhaps we're into "No True Scotsman" territory but I wouldn't even label as poverty someone's life in a shelter, where they can access 3 squares a day and comfortable hygienic bathroom facilities and usually a spot to try and land a job and increase their opportunity.

I've seen poor people living in garbage, like literally they scour garbage pits and they live among them. Poor people with children who have distended bellies and they're stretching bowls full of rice with dirty water because there's just nothing else to be had. Abject poverty such as that is just unheard of in our borders, because there's too much subsidy and programs and infrastructure that exists.
