No-one believes either of those things. You should familiarise yourself with the arguments and beliefs of people outside your ideological bubble.

To be charitable, I suppose what you mean is: "I don't believe gays/blacks are being genuine in their efforts to promote their agendas" and "there has been significant election interference, including against my preferred candidate (Trump|Clinton)."

Note that the latter belief is also widely held by those who preferred eg Clinton in 2016, including Clinton herself, who has loudly and proudly declared repeatedly that she would/should have been president but for election interference.

So if the latter belief is enough to get someone canceled from their job, and you support that, then I guess that includes about 90% of the population. I don't think you're being reasonable here.

As to the former belief, I think looking back at how Black Lives Matter has turned out should be enough to convince most reasonable people that some of the biggest/loudest agendas promoted over the past few years aren't genuine.

As to your last assertion, you're correct. No-one is getting canceled over minor quibbles over tax rates. I don't know anyone who is claiming that.
Contingent is how you do it.
That is a good idea. Thanks
I bet magicians would love such cards.
Why do they keep asking for 5-star review s? To me this seems illogical. Just ask for a review (without explicitly specifying you want 5 stars) - that's legal and will have the same/better effect.

Everyone knows everyone wants 5 stars. Provided they agree to submit a review they will put 5 stars if everything is great. And in case they are unsatisfied they won't put 5 stars no matter how you nag them anyway.
Excessive use of arrays can be a sign of many things, but not of being a java developer. Perhaps a sign of having been a java developer at some point in time before 2004 but not having touched the language ever since.
Introspecting on this, do you feel this layoff trend is demarking a plateau of the Information Age?
They are incentivized to do that anyways as their employers chase clicks and views so as to massage the bottom line. Taking away bylines won't make a dent.

Taking away bylines simply takes away the incentive to actually be different and stand out for something else.
Environmental Social Governance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental,_social,_and_cor...

Wow, I thought everyone was aware of ESG by now (especially on HN).
It seems that social media echo chambers keep getting worse...
I agree. I found this line to be particularly strange:

>> Detailed perusal reveals a ‘superfluous’ lock of hair that doesn’t match the rest of the young woman’s hairstyle. Undeniable proof the image has been manipulated.

Is it really undeniable proof? I feel like there are possible explanations for what we're seeing.

Google Search switched to transformers (NLP) to understand search queries, which led to a certain boomer-isation of Google search. Full English questions work much better now. https://blog.google/products/search/search-language-understa...

HN is a very techy crowd that probably has muscle-memorised all the Google search tricks (possibly made obsolete by these transformers), I wonder how the 50+ non-tech crowd sees Google these days - perhaps it got better for them?
In theory. The censorship i've noticed on the fediverse is INSANE. Entire instances (Usually conservative ones) getting banned just because they get the automatic label of "Racist, Homophobe, etc" even though that is not what happening in most of them. (There are some horrible instances, not denying they don't exist).
Google is now a "recommendation engine" not a search engine...

I type something in and it ignores the words and presents something it thinks I might like.

For good measure, it prepends a word-spaghetti advert that's optimised on-the-fly to maximise confusion with the missing useful search result. When I accidentally click on it then they'll get paid.
I liked to play the SimCopter demo and thanks to it Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries still remind me of the game. I suspected (or maybe just hoped) that you could somehow import SimCity 2000 cities (I had the original boxed release, the first game I owned), but either it was not possible to do in the demo or I just failed to find the way (I was barely a teenager without the Internet access).
Far from being relativistic, it is a miniature simulated universe with a rigid flat geometry and a universal clock. it is interesting precisely because it is very simple and yet permits remarkably complex events.

If Google wants to improve it needs to place bans on domains using automatically generated content and threaten lawsuits if the webmasters try to evade the ban. The bigger problem is that most content is no longer on the public world wide web, it is on private chats in Discord and on closed Facebook groups.

I'm at a pretty big company and basically intend to retire from here, though I find it unlikely that they'll let me. We're public and so anybody with cash can come in and suddenly change things, including laying people off and shipping jobs elsewhere. So even if I trust current management to treat staff semi-decently (keeping people on during lean times if they can afford it, arranging severance for laid off workers, etc.), I have to assume that the people actually in charge can change suddenly and to the median US corporate malevolence (or worse) at any time.
I'm Bernard, the creator of lunatic. Great to see us back on HN and happy to answer any questions!

We have been busy pushing out a lot of new stuff. Recently we released a web framework [0] for Rust building on top of lunatic, and a live-view library [1] for crating full stack apps in Rust without JS. For now we are staying close to the Phoenix LiveView implementation, where everything is rendered on the backend and just a diff is sent over websockets to the frontend. But a big advantage of Wasm is that it runs in the browser too, so we hope to leverage this part to move some of the logic directly into the browser, like form checking, or offer a way to create offline-first experiences with the backend running as PWA in a service worker.

I'm shocked I tell you, shocked and appalled at this news! Are you telling me that these people I have a completely one-sided relationship with through a tiny rectangle aren't giving me their honest opinion about products. They're actually paid to promote things!!!

This has never happened in the history of the world that people are paid to promote product by using a personal view point. I'm flabbergasted to learn this information.

Are you me? Am I you? Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I tend to read authors instead of publications now.

Like just about anything by Ed Yong (science), Zeynep Tufekci, Katelyn Jetelina when looking at pandemic related topics. They are objective, thoughtful, compassionate, and well researched.

But slowly finding writers like that for other topics. Open to suggestions!

I personally do something similar, pretty much all my searches have 'reddit' as an extra keyword.
I agree the individual pieces are less polished and tend more towards alarmism or outrage. I still find it overall better, because logical inconsistencies and wrong facts will get called out viciously and without mercy. The result is a more correct worldview, but one needs to keep some distance, otherwise it can get unhealthy.

I think that some companies have already caught on. I've seen suspicious recommendation patterns on Reddit before, where one product will be relentlessly mentioned, to the point where a naive searcher would think it's the "clear choice". But this could also be astroturfing.

For example, yesterday I was looking for a good toaster oven. The _only_ brand that gets recommended consistently is Breville, on multiple different subreddits. However, there is nothing that makes me believe their product is any better than the competitions. Mass produced in china out of cheap materials, lots of reviews stating that they break once the warranty is up, etc etc. All of the Reddit comments are also very simple. Doing due diligence as a consumer has become a nightmare.
We also shouldn't forget the full quote

“There is no doubt that the holy grail of efficiency leads to abuse. Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil.

Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%. A good programmer will not be lulled into complacency by such reasoning, he will be wise to look carefully at the critical code; but only after that code has been identified.”

— From “Structured Programming with go to Statements” (Knuth, 1974),
Well, if you post the project here on HN, perhaps every once in a while even a progress report of sorts etc sharing what you learned with the process, at the very least there will be some curiosity leading people to take a peek.

Of course, one cannot rely on it having significant interest, but that little bit of "spotted an error, here's a tiny fix" crowdsourcing is not to be scoffed at.

People pitching in 30sec of their curiosity is a lot of eyes as a stochastic error-checking algorithm.

I'll take a stab at a current definition.

A mainframe is a high-RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability), high-performance, high-cost, modular multiprocessor machine with specialized coprocessors; running a hypervisor-style operating system that is largely concerned with allocating resources and managing security partitions. Interconnections among modules happen at system bus latencies and bandwidths.
I use uBlacklist to highlight results for good websites like reddit, stackoverflow, or official documentation. It also blocks hundreds of SEO websites and low quality stuff (quora, geeksforgeeks, clones of stackoverflow). You can even block stuff by title, like "\d+ (best|essential|...).*". Sometimes a get 2 results per page as a result of this.

It has been said of me too, on a few occasions! Resting concentration face.
I recently went through a very similar experience as yours and agree that the medical sites provided by Google are basically pamphlet material. It has indeed become very hard to get detailed, complex information from simply googling things, to the point that I don't trust getting valid info from a google search. Instead, I look for books by authors that are cross-referenced by multiple sources, I look at forums to see what different people agree/disagree on. In other words, I like to look at people from different backgrounds and places agreeing on similar issues or facts to confirm that the possibility of information being true is larger than otherwise.
> Your comment was vague to the limits. In modern days cancellation can come from many statements not directly connected to a person's employ, plenty of people have been fired for the social media posting that have NOTHING to do with their employment

So you think that in this case employers and other employees should be denied the right to free association so that a racist can keep their job?

The article talks about Salman Rushdie. The MSM didn't put a fatwa on Rushdie, and then stab him nearly to death. That was ultra-religious conservatives. Ultra-religious conservatives are also responsible for much of the censorship in the United States, especially in schools, refusing to allow kids to read certain books or be taught certain subjects.

Getting "called all kind of names" is not censorship, it's just criticism. That's actually an exercise of free speech by the name callers, don't you think?

[EDIT:] The irony of voting this comment down until it's effectively censored. Sigh.
they didn't "bet the farm" on that at all, they've been desperately trying to diversify out of search advertising for basically the life of the company. Of course, they haven't succeeded but not because they're relying on search ads.
This is how inflation effects media. Publishers want to be "growthy", Google hasn't gone full-bore in making new print ad-supported, hence the proliferation of paywalls.
I'm not particularly religous right now (I consider myself agnostic, but pray every once in a while anyway), but growing up every Sunday I attended church in the morning and youth group in the evening (because my parents took me).

At the time I had mixed feelings about it, liked some of the other kids in the youth group, but I often just wanted to be lazy on Sundays instead. Now that I'm older, I kind of miss having a place you could just go to each week if you want to talk to the same groups of people and do activities that doesn't just involve drinking (I rarely drink now, and never drink more than two beers now).

I used to sign up for meetups a lot, and still do from time to time (signed up for a hike this weekend), but there's a lot of inconsistency there (no guarantee a group you're wanting to meet up with will be hosting anything that week, or even that month). I did meet some good friends though that originally, although most have kind of drifted apart after getting married and having children (did have a mini-reunion at one of their baby showers recently, though).

Seeing the same people consistently with a low stress activity you can focus on (board games, movies, scavenger hunt, escape room, karaoke, volunteer work, painting/writing/crafting, etc) to keep the pressure off having to be super 'on' and talkative with people who start as strangers, and you just get to know these people slowly over time, seems to work the best for me.

I have actually considered checking out the activities at a local church. I don't want to sit in a service or worship (sermons I don't mind anymore, there can be some interesting philosopy or life lessons in there, it's actually all the time spent singing or reciting things that I don't want to do), but I wouldn't mind a place I can stop by and say hi to people, maybe play some card games or help with some light volunteer work or something. Haven't pulled the trigger on it yet, though.

Also discovered recently that the local forest preserve district hosts a lot of activities, and a decent amount of adult only activities, so I might start doing that more. A lot of campfire activities, kayaking, hikes, cleaning up the forests, etc. Seems like some good people that attend those, too.

Reading the piece on how github copilot will automate developers out of a job made me chuckle. The reporter knew fuck all about copilot or AI, clearly hadn't talked to a developer who did. It was essentially regurgitated, reconstituted investor pitch.

This is pretty standard. If I wanna know what investors or beltway insiders are excited about or afraid of I read the Economist to see what kind of kool aid they're drinking.
Vanguard has a report on their interactions with companies. https://corporate.vanguard.com/content/corporatesite/us/en/c... And particularly https://corporate.vanguard.com/content/dam/corp/advocate/inv...

It’s not a question that Vanguard engaged with boards of the companies they interact with and it’s a pretty commonly cited concern in corporate governance circles. So much so that the big index funds are piloting giving their votes to fund holders.

The conspiracy theory issue here is that the poster is a) expressing something much more nefarious by implying Starbucks debt is part of a plot by vanguard/Blackrock b) setting up Musk as a white knight fighting these nefarious forces and c) citing fabrications as facts to back up the claims, then devolving to much less striking claims (“big shareholders have influence”) when called on it.

This has all the hallmarks of a classic conspiracy theory.
Yes, apparently, according to several people. Doesn't seem to occur with some forms of concentration (ex: reading fiction).
It's just you. Google is an extremely useful search engine. As a demonstration of its abilities, note that searching for "Is Google becoming useless as a search engine" with our without the quote marks turns up this obscure article that's only 1 hour old.

I use Google hundreds of times every day. I use it to search C++ STL documentation, where I generally get an exact hit in the first slot. I use it to find out whether some cafe is open or closed right now. I use it to find city records.

Your actually complaint appears to be about the web itself. Yes, the web contains a lot of junk and often does not contain the article you believe should exist, which is annoying. But no search engine can make good articles spring into existence.
Unless things have changed in the last few years, I'm a bit skeptical of your claim of avid readership if you're referring to The Economist as a magazine and not a newspaper.
You said:
