One thing I have trouble with in windows is debugging problems. If say I plug in a usb device and nothing happens, I know what logs to look at, and they are verbose and if I don't, I can search the internet and find five or six possible solutions depending on distro and age. In windows the search generally says "download this malware and it will solve your problem", "restore to a save point" or "grab your install media and start over". I would be surprised if there is a good way to do the same things, they just aren't discoverable. When the device manager and services.msc show all is well, but it clearly isn't, there doesn't seem to be much advice out there.

Edit: I liked vms fine, I don't think this is inheritance from that, or even dos. I knew how to debug in dos, using debug.com even. I think it has something to do with the lack of expectations for a user to be able to debug a problem. Osx has abit of this, but sitting on a bsd saves it to some extent.

For me that also was about the first website I visited back around that time when I had friends over, who didn't know Internet to show how easy you can get there from Europe.

Second stop was the local city councils page, and checking why my physics teacher was supporting for proposals as counselor.
"There are absolutely things that people can write which they should be removed from their job for though"

No, there are not. Anything you say outside of your working time is not the business of your employer.
Well it's a relief to know that if I ever export products to America, I don't have to worry about complying with their boring laws since I don't reside there.

I no longer use Google because it was serving up incorrect, corporate sponsored answers to my technical questions. I pay for kagi.com, I highly recommend it.
The old built in Firefox tab groups was amazing. I've left a version un-updated on one of my compters for years because of it. Unfortunately nothing has come close to replacing it. Tab groups on Opera is okay but extremely limited. Right now I'm using tree style tabs on another Firefox build and it's not bad. I wish I could name tab groups and that ctrl+tabbing through from the last tab wrapped around to the same group at the end rather than to the next tab group, but other than that it's not bad.
This is a completely solved problem, Monero is primarily powered by hundreds if not thousands of separate botnets. Mining will always be profitable because electricity costs are paid by someone else.
Its fine as long as you are not looking for political content in relation to Russia or Ukraine.

I suspect Yandex is "older" in design, so does not suffer as much from the SEO spam that is optimized to rank on Google.
No hate from me! (But also, please do not eat me, lol)

It's not like I don't know what cravings are. I, too, have eaten way more than I should when really trying not to. I'm fully aware that it's just dumb luck that I only experience that sort of thing once in a while, usually in connection with life situations I can somewhat change, rather than all the time. "I'm human, nothing human is alien to me", as they say.

> The best I've managed is that if I can put myself in a sufficiently manic state I no longer seem to have an appetite, but that's hardly viable.

Yeah, I can relate to that too. I took up foraging for mushrooms some years ago, which was a ton of fun, and thought, "You know what? I could probably live on what I find in the woods for dinner for a while!". So I actually did, and naturally I lost some weight. A year later, next mushroom season, a few kilos back on (I'm still overweight by the BMI definition, though it's nothing to the problems some people in this thread have), thought I'd try that again, and... hell no. Turns out it wasn't the mushrooms, it was the excitement.
The right of free association was already taken away the moment discrimination on the basis of race was outlawed. Find a better argument.
Packed snow shapes can be ambiguous, but entire mountain peaks don't randomly move to different places as is clearly the case in these photos.

The article presents and excellent and very detailed case for how the photos are doctored all over the place. It's obvious and easy to see once pointed out. I can't at all imagine how it's so hard to believe.

This combined with a bunch of other odd details makes her case very suspicious. Given how much her original narrative implied fairly pure nature photography and NOT artistic composite creations, what this photographer did was dishonest in a very straightforward sense. The dishonesty becomes all the more obvious when you realize that until she was called out by a detailed analysis, she freely let sites for such entities as Saatchi Art, the U.S Embassy in Nepal, Animal Planet and the Times of London, share, claim and think that her photos were essentially nature shots with modest editing and no more. Not a peep, and she even made sales.

It was only after this individual was called out by a very specific media analysis that suddenly "News and media from around the world stole my images and published them with their own meaning. They did not ask me if they were edited. They interpreted them in their own way and spread them around the world."

And then up go the DMCA claims against the same sites that had previously shared her photos approvingly withuot being asked to take them down then (especially petapixel)

She seemed to have no problem with any of that as long as her original blog post and all it strongly implied were believed.
I know that I at least sound angry.

That's the writing style. The choice of topics, point of view, and conclusions drawn at The Economist all show political bias.

She's a black woman, I'd say there's a good chance she's been marginalized already and knows what she's talking about.

She's not talking about someone being a little impatient. To quote the end of the article:

> this kind of backlash, ugly personal insults, putting addresses of homes and children's schools online, trying to make people lose their jobs. [...]. It is a virtual vigilante action whose aim is not just to silence the person who has spoken, but to create a vengeful atmosphere that deters others from speaking."
I get surprised by so many AI startups using discord as their product interface. First time I saw it used, I was like, don't you have enough funds to build your own interface? Still find it jarring to go from a slick looking site to a discord login. They probably don't want to reimplement chat, but I'm sure there's got to be a couple of opensource chat projects out there..

I don't know - haven't used discord too much to know, does it serve a lot of utility to invite bots to your own server and stuff.. is that a big plus?

Basically, it’s remembering to take a step back when thinking through a thorny problem, be it interpersonal, business, or technical, and asking yourself “are one of the big biases at work here?”. It has also informed some of my work habits. For example, I’m less likely now to share investment ideas with more than a couple close associates so that I’m less likely to suffer from commitment and consistency bias.
Kagi managed to make good articles “spring into existence”. Your trust that Google is showing you the whole Internet is misplaced.
Fundamentally, the problem is its often very difficult to tell the difference between the brave iconoclast shining a light on sensitive issues, and the troll or worse, looking to cause harm to others.

Is David Duke a dangerous voice for bigotry, or a brave man speaking out against a system?

What about the famous Dutch cartoonist? Brave satirists, or racist firestarters?

What about Ilhan Omar? Defender of Palestinian rights or anti-Semite?

Is a sensitivity reader shining a light on an author's potential biases and blind spots, or are they a tool for censorship?

Are k-pop groups on Twitter posting into alt-right hashtags disrupting communication among hate groups, or censoring alternative viewpoints?

All of this is a matter of judgement.

Many would say that, hey, it doesn't matter, speech should be free and unfettered without exception. Sticks and stones, etc. The danger of censorship is too high.

Those in victimized groups, subject to harassment or worse, enabled by social networks and so forth, would profoundly disagree.

After all, it's easy to say that now after decades of progress for victimized groups. It reminds me a lot of anti-vaxxers today questioning the need for the measles vaccine. To them the disease is just a memory, the side effects are more dangerous.

And that's ignoring the fact that there's still unbelievable amounts of hate directed at victimized groups online.

This author may have a very valid point. Maybe self-censorship is happening at a rate above what is desirable.

But if my neighbor pops up online and advocates for white power and racial purity, you're darn right I want him to self-censor.

You're being down voted but not many have commented to discuss with you.

As another commented has said, the correctness of the pursuit doesn't really matter; it may be that the debunking actually finds here correct and "innocent", as I say; you can't discuss a subject without referring to it.

As for other people misrepresenting the photographs; I don't have a strong opinion about the whole thing; but, her statements, very clearly, in my opinion avoid or skirt around the truth; it very, very clearly omits detail.

There also some sugar coating of terminology; I'm not photographer, or artist, but I consider the statement "this is / is not edited" to mean something very different to "this is / is not a composite".

As someone who likes to provide detail, and not leave ambiguity when I describe my work, I find it quite jarring to read her descriptions; the wording is chosen carefully to avoid saying what is much easier to say, were it not done in a roundabout way.

"I found a pile of cash behind the living room wall" is much more to the point and clear than "I was redecorating my living room last week, and I found what I'd always been looking for".

There is never a situation that I think it's reasonable or fair for pile-ons death threats or any other kind of aggression to occur over something like this, it's unacceptable; however, regards misrepresenting her work, I firmly believe that position to be true given the evidence presented.

That said, this is just my opinion, and I make no comment on whether "misrepresenting" in itself is or is not an issue, just that I believe it _is_ misrepresented (intentionally).
A big problem is the real World Wide Web is getting smaller.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

This whole discussion is rather vague from the start - the only specific example given in the article is Rushdie, but the quote I responded to was much more general.

The point I made is that inciting harassment of people's children at school is an entirely different thing to making them lose their job (and we've just agreed that there are some things people can write which they should lose their jobs for), and it's a mistake to lump those things together as the same "unconscionable barbarism" as she does here.
Yeah the worst are the long wordy articles that I could have written myself with the knowledge I’m bringing to the search (which is usually limited).

Yesterday I was trying to figure out the World Cup sub rules and I knew they had gone up to 5 but my friend was saying “are they limited to three sub occasions to make the five subs?” and the top ten results were complete garbage with any actual info in the 5th paragraph and none were aware of the limits except that the rules had recently moved up to 5 from 3…
What you're saying is absolutely true of aerobic exercise, but is emphatically not true of anaerobic, muscle-building exercise.

While the act of going to the gym won't burn many calories, putting on muscle can drastically increase your baseline metabolic rate. 10lb of muscle (easily gained by a "newbie" who is eating well) will add about 1,500 calories per day to your baseline metabolic rate. That's a whole meal! (and that's just the calories burned by existing, not by recovery/muscle building, the workout itself, etc).

The body is remarkably good at maintaining homeostasis when losing weight. So as one gets lighter, the body becomes more efficient and burns less calories, requiring deeper and deeper reductions in consumption. Increasing muscle mass negates this.

Edit:
@gduffy has a better source for how much energy a lb of muscle burns, which is "4.5 to 7.0 kcal/lb per day". So adding 10lb of muscle will increase caloric consumption by 450 - 700 Calories. So not quite a meal, but a solid 5 mile run.
This comment very strongly reminded me of the chain of logic called out in an article recently shared on this site, https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/exiting-vam...

> In the febrile McCarthyite atmosphere fermented by the moralising left, remarks that could be construed as sexist mean that Brand is a sexist, which also meant that he is a misogynist. Cut and dried, finished, condemned.

It is a rather distressing habit to think in this way.

And what if when it is government branding the undesirables? Only a problem when you disagree? But of course all the sane people agree with the ministry of truth and decency.

Personal responsibility is a far better position to defend despite the garbage that comes along for the ride than say an overarching unquestionable central authority that dictates and enforces what is acceptable for all with threat of government sanctioned violence (imprisonment) for non-compliance.

I've been putting it exactly this way ("recommendation engine") for years. Whatever algorithms Google is using, they're absolutely terrible at distinguishing the considerations of relevance to a specific query on one hand and broader tranches of popularity on the other hand.

Unfortunately, nobody else seems to be doing much better. I've found that DuckDuckGo's results suddenly got drastically worse a few months ago: markedly fewer results overall, and the results that do show up have worse relevance (in particular, generic pages about the closest major city, e.g. its official homepage or Wikipedia article, tend to show up for no obvious reason).
Agreed. While it might be debatable whether it's explicitly offensive, it's at least a bit of a grey area and it immediately stood out to me as a poor choice of name.

Whether you agree or not with the use of the term, names are part of communication, and communication that people are going to take issue with (rightly or wrongly) is going to have an impact on a product/project/business, and should probably be reconsidered, unless the point is to cause controversy or dogwhistle certain values.

This name for example would probably rule out use at many companies, and I suspect many would choose not to publicise it with things like conference talks.

If you boil this down, it’s actually a fundamental issue with Google’s ranking algorithm not keeping up with the times. They’re now a monopoly giant with zero incentive to innovate.

We all know the algorithm is too easily gamed (1)(2), but they make way too much money to ever blow it up and start from scratch.

Why care about the free results below the line, when the real goal is to get people to click on the ads at the top of the SERP?

——-

1. If it’s general information you’re looking for, you’re hit with low-quality keyword spam sites, with 900 ads playing all over the page. Google makes the vast majority of its money on ads, so they can’t penalize sites bloated with ads due to anti-trust issues.

2. If you’re doing research on products/software/etc, the results in almost every category are now bloated with affiliate marketing spam. Again, Google cannot de-rank sites that monetize this way due to anti-trust.
Does anybody here know a Bluetooth (ideally) or NFC one? Preferably with a known protocol that has open source software... at least a known/open protocol to set the displays if not end-to-end open. I have wanted to play with one of these but haven't been able to find one that is easy to hack on.

I'd really like a $10-20 epaper display that I could update wirelessly on very low power, there are so many fun projects that could be done with that. There are a few dev boards that almost hit that price point but software support is really bad in my experience.
YouTube search is almost unusable for me. The geotargetting stuff gives me totally unrelated content in a language I have no love for or related languages I cannot understand at all.

We're talking about moving the whole taskbar to the left (or right) of the screen similar to how Ubuntu looks for example.

I was offering some feedback in response to your complaint about downvotes. I didn't want to replicate the same debates had in other threads on this topic.

Generally, this kind of interaction -- relatively positive, to your credit -- is illustrative of why, I think. What I mean is this: I don't think either of us feel particularly satisfied with it, do we?

This seems like a lost opportunity. I feel like you and I could easily have a productive conversation with another medium, such as in person or perhaps some platform with a different interaction pattern.

No-one believes in the right of the individual overruling all else. I'm not sure how you are coming to that conclusion.

If you offend all of society (or more realistically, most of it), then sure, you are going to have a bad few years. No-one really disagrees there.

But if you offend some tiny segment of socieety, a single malicious and persistent "villager," then you should not have to endure that person spending all their time trying to ruin your life.

If it's one person, you would get a restraining order.

What do you do if it's 10,000 people, in a world of 7 billion? Clearly that's even smaller an influence than a single person in a village. We need a modern day equivalent of a restraining order against those 10,000 so they don't get you fired from your job, divorced from your wife, estranged from your kids, and sent packing from your bank.

This is what everyone's upset about. No-one is defending the dictator wannabe who is advocating for murdering half the planet to get socialism to finally work. Everyone agrees that guy's a nut, and it's fine if he gets fired.
Relatable!
