My guess is that Google doesn't care (not that they ever did but now less than they did before). The simple math is "Google makes no money by indexing your website." The easiest way in the past to get reliably indexed by Google was to put Google ads on your web site. Then they have skin in the game so to speak. "Long tail" websites, those that are very niche, not especially linked outside of a few folks, have only ever been there to impress people using Google into believing they index everything (which they don't, and frankly haven't for at least the last 10 years).

Over the years, as all of the ways that people who hosted a "search engine", exploited the "digital exhaust" of the people who used it, and sold that information for profit, have been revealed, well regulations and laws have been enacted to reduce or eliminate the egregious (and usually more profitable) ones. That and advertisers tired of paying for "engagement" and seeing few sales or conversions, the economics of running a search engine as this high margin, make money hand over fist, days are slowly winding down.

That Bing has (for now at least), continued to index these sites, will just accelerate Google's decline.

When I was helping to run Blekko, people would look at our curated results and be super impressed at how much better they were than Bing or Google results, but then they would search for their cousin's minecraft blog and wouldn't find it and lament that they couldn't possibly use it as their "daily driver" because if it didn't have their cousin's website in it, how could they know what they weren't seeing? Blekko tried really hard to make the argument that if you made a list of the minecraft blogs you followed as a Blekko user we'd index all of them, and if everyone did that for their favorite stuff then the index would fill up with good web sites and not be riddled with junk. But sadly we couldn't get them to internalize that and they weren't willing to create an account to have a better web experience. Perhaps we were just too early but still it is a weird thing.
I can see it being true given all the places that have large lots.

Although I'm not sure what the author's point is by using that comparison, aside from being an emotional hook. The resources, needs/wants, etc for these are quite different. Same thing for the statement about 3-car garages vs 1 bedroom apartments - it mostly comes down to preferences and how those manifest in the market, politics, and other aspects of life.
This is conservative lobbying spam. The umbrella group producing this document is called the "National Academy of Scholars" (NAS), which publishes articles about "globalists" and is funded by conservative donors (see https://www.nas.org/storage/app/media/New%20Documents/annual...).

Annoyingly, the National Academy of Scholars was named in a way that collides in the namespace with the (actually reputable) National Academy of Sciences (publishers of PNAS).
Well, the easiest way to write

1 + x * 2 - 3 % x

would just be "x-2".

But if we're talking more generally, if I have an expression like

2*x^3 + x^2 - 5*x

a trained eye immediately can read off the coefficients of the polynomial and I'm not sure if that's true of

(+ (* 2 (^ x 3)) (^ x 2) (- (* 5 x)))
Sure. Were they as wide? Do we need 4 lane stroads if most commuters moved to bicycles, public transit or walking?
To me, the biggest joke/travesty is their "algorithm" which literally builds a top20 radio station echo chamber around you the moment you dare casually play a song

This is literally by design. Amazon doesn't want you to search, they want you to buy what they suggest on the homepage. Spotify doesn't want you listening to what you want, they want to shove profitable songs down your throat. you know how radio in america is controlled by the labels? Same with spotify.
Nice of the Russians to support the "Western psyop" by loudly infighting over the losses suffered and struggles to hold the only bit of territory they've managed to capture since their latest conscription waves, following the mass retreats of the autumn, presumably because their numerical advantage left them without any Ukranians to shoot at.
Understood but in the case of crypto, you don't hand over your private keys to third-parties unlike cc where you have to hand over every information about your card in order to make payments. Thi is the main vector of stolen credit cards so I fail to see this as a serious problem.
Interestingly it looks like it has built in anti jailbreak patterns. I tried a few of the main ones which still work on GPT4 however had no luck here.

I wonder if Coinbase could steal all the volume from Binance if they would offer 0% fees on spot. I bet most other markets would implode.
There are software patents in EPC countries (which includes EU, UK), but not software patents as such. A sibling noted that USA now requires a real-world effect, that change apparently mirrors the situation under EPC: software here can be patented if it makes a technical contribution, ie it must do something outside of the computer (or something that simulates something outside of a computer! see Halliburton).

What is and isn't technical is largely down to convention and can't be readily reasoned over IME. In the UK you only need to be familiar with about a half-dozen pieces of caselaw to be able to make a pretty good guess.

It's established caselaw that compression is a mathematical method (not patentable); but you can implement that as a computer program (probably not patentable); but you can apply that to image compression (probably patentable, see Vicom).

Any opinions here are my own and do not relate to my employment. This is not legal advice.
I'd give some benefit of the doubt like perhaps it was taken out of context, but... "bro"!? roflmao at the brazenness
Planned communities are definitely a thing, and have been tried many times. As I recall, they mostly end up as failures. It's difficult to design a utopia and have many other people than yourself agree.
You could add methods that nothing could call, sure. It would be like replacing the value with an instance of an anonymous subclass with additional methods. Not useful, but fully possible. Ok, it would be slightly useful if those methods were available to other things patched in at the same time. So yeah, exactly like introducing an anonymous subclass.

But monkey-patching is also often used to alter behaviors of existing things, and that could be done without needing new types.
But it's not useful. Version control on WYSIWYG is definitely not a solved problem.
Thanks for the feedback! Will take a look at this, agreed that sounds easy and helpful.
Even though Binance dropped out of the Voyager deal, they still send out recurring email to complete the setup.

I'm not OP, I just thought this was really cool
It really is that simple. For all its problems, the fact that I can move my money anywhere, without middle men, is the main promise of crypto fulfilled, everything else on top of that is gravy.
I mean, by "surrendered" he meant he personally would take it back. And that was probably just meant to make you drive normally and use it to get out of tickets, not as a carte blanche to break every traffic law flagrantly.
And there's no point inventing anything as an established company if you can just aggressively buy IP and leverage existing property.

There's a balance to how much IP protection actually encourages innovation, and we're far on one side of it.
Lot of comparison to Fox and MSNBC. But what about Bloomberg or CNBC. Lot of times it seems like the financial news is resistant to BS, because people want to know what is really happening to invest real money. Why couldn't CNN follow that format, just lots of real, but more minor, news. Sure, not every interview with a CEO of a small company in Indonesia is super important, but it tends to be more realistic and can be interesting.
I should have clarified the GUI newsreaders. I'd be willing to bet a very small amount of money that around 2000 the majority of newsreaders in use by real humans (not spam bots) were Outlook Express and Netscape.

There were some good GUI newsreaders but Outlook Express was a shit show. I remember OE was what my ISP had NNTP documentation for and nothing else.
fighting a patent is quite expensive and hard and in case of proper patents (and many less proper) unlikely to succeed else many patent trolls wouldn't be able to earn so much money

This is the reason why most times patents are not fought until someone gets sued even through at that point more things are at risk, like temporary restricted sales, so normally a precaution patent invalidation should be preferred by the company starting to sell products where they know someone is patent trolling. But it isn't, as it's too expensive.

There probably had been cases of big companies using a "try to drown small company in lawsuits even if they are spurious" approach, but IMHO this is the wrong way to limit such power abuse (the right way is painful panelties and reparation if they are found to do so and reasonable fast court actions to stop this abuse until courts are settled).
I used it quite a lot around 97 / 98, it was a great way to meet people and discuss serios and not-so-serious topics with people around the world. It was technically interesting and a very powerful tool.

No, I do not want to live any closer to anyone else. I want a house with a yard to plant the seeds I want to grow and do the things I want to do. The quality of the fruit at even upscale places like Central Market is absolute dogshit compared to what I can grow in my backyard. Nobody who has only ever had figs from a market or grocery store has ever eaten a good fig.

I do not want to live in a sad concrete box in a city somewhere, and my quality of life matters more to me than someone else's communal pipe dreams. I had a rural upbringing. Cities are nice to visit but they give me anxiety.
I'm not arguing that Spotify is screwing artists. I don't know. However, I would just point out that revenue growth in and of itself does not necessarily mean that they are improving the lot of artists. They could 10x revenue, but if profits are being cut in half, as just an example, then this isn't improving artists' business.

Bing at least license their indexes to partners on a commercial basis, as did Yahoo until they gave up indexing the web. I am sure that the NSA, the Chinese government, the ahrefs website, and other organizations have comprehensive indexes of the web which they don't share in this way.

Mojeek seems to be the independent, non-paywalled search engine with the biggest index, for an overview see https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-...
Even in Europe, cars are very prevalent. It cannot simply be a conspiracy by American car companies to force people to want private transportation.
Engineers talk to each other and they are smart. As long as enough people perceive the same thing, it works out.
When I learned APL, the expression evaluation order at first seemed odd (strictly right to left with no operator presence, 5*5+4 evals to 45 not 29). After working with it a couple of hours I came to appreciate its simplicity, kind of like the thread operator in your last example.
EFF can't tell you the difference because according to the EFF, there is no other kind of patent holder...
I'll see if I can dig out the source, but the study I saw had COL vs incomes.

IE, DC is expensive, but also pays extremely well.
In legal context it almost always means "We" quoted as "we" or vice versa to match the capitalization required for the context it's quoted in. if it was "e are operating" then they probably would have notated it differently.
Oh I see, so you have been taught to be paranoid. Apparently this is a special type of paranoia that is more legitimate.
It's an editorial correction. E.g. fixing a typo to what was obviously intended, while indicating it isn't an exact quote.
I think we should push for the other direction: let's get the unnecessary administrators out of universities. In particular, let's make schools show that greater than k% of their budget goes to actual instruction in order to be eligible to receive federal student loan dollars (and the threshold should rise over time).

It's still really silly to me that schools push towards having a lot of instruction (their core product!) done by adjuncts whose contracts may or may not be renewed for any term, but they have so many administrators and non-instruction staff who are full time with pretty great job security.
We, the technologically literate, are not the target audience. Client-side filtering requires awareness of client-side filtering. How many Reddit users want that ? Facebook users ? Oh, maybe they want to fine-tune their scoring rules library or tweak they bayesian filters - so much fun ! And lacking social intelligence, client-side filtering fails against organized harassment. By the way, who is liable for infractions to the local law ?

Enter the party, meet regulars, meet new faces, enjoy a drink and don't even think about safety. Sure, you can manage it yourself for a birthday party at your home but at larger scales even the wild rave party thrown in an abandoned hangar out there will have some form of institutionalized enforcement, even if they are not corporate security.

Yes, that means that successful large public places tend towards bland - the same reason why successful edgy underground dives are small affairs and their character can't survive growth.
Even if you were to do that, parking has a larger footprint than habitation. Or whatever you want to call existing in a space.

For example, if I go to Chipotle for lunch, I will go and park my car, go inside, get in line, order, blah.

My car, and everyone else's car will take up 9x18 units. If it's busy, you could have a line 10 to 15 people deep. That's 1620 sq ft of parking for people who will be occupying about 360 sq ft on the inside. (Assuming 10 people all taking up a 6x6 block).
"Very common" not from what I've seen. Would be awesome if they did get more involved, from my perspective.

https://careersmart.org.uk/occupations/equality/which-jobs-d... and plenty of other sources if you search for it. Which is kind of interesting because most searches result in the "gender pay gap" stuff, yet they kind of answer their own question with the stats.

I think there are a couple of outlying issues even these days:
1: "boys clubs" some men trying to get women to not work in certain industries (although sometimes just men working together is perceived as a boys club, in the tech industry I've seen male friendship/camaraderie killed because it's seen as "boys club-y" even though anyone's free to join)
2: women may or may not choose to work in certain industries, even if it's 100% possible for them to do so
3: societal pressure (from both men and women) on women (and men) to fill certain roles/be perceived certain ways in society.
It's pretty marginal but there are a couple instances where I'm at that are slowly being addressed, where some really large, poorly located parking lots are making some areas more flood prone and holding up development in their vicinity.
Just checked a city lot I use. The spots are small, and trucks don't really fit. But even these tiny spots use 510sqft for each pair of parking spots on an aisle, so ~250sqft each (without accounting for ramps, and other shared spaces).
See and that is why such a law is a problem because people just twist your words in ways which turn them into something you 100% did not say (or did) and then you can't try to take down a abusive patent.
Some editor should be told that "Elon Musk says" is not the click generator it may once have been.
> RAII and scope are both core ideas in c++ and always have been.

I would say that's debatable. RAII definitely dates back to the earliest days of C++, but you don't have to know it in order to use the language. Even today there are many professional C++ devs who've never really learned RAII because they write C with classes style code. I first started learning C++ about 20 years ago and IIRC at the time usage of RAII was still in the minority but there was real momentum towards it being considered the "right" way to do C++.
So much this: There just isn't enough interesting news!

24 hour news was "born" in the Gulf War I and the need to fill every minute with something compelling so that people won't turn it off is just to strong.

I really do think that a streaming news channel/app where current stories are just updated when they have new information could be a win here.
It's a bit strange indeed. On the other hand you can't allocate either if you don't have an allocator. The difference is just that the allocator is opt-out while the reactor and executor are opt-in with no formal default.
Cops make very good money (at least in the US), making above the median income even before you count pensions, overtime and excellent health insurance. Not to mention an almost inability to get fired.
> but you're a consumer, aren't you? A taxpayer too.

Well the gov't bit is a trick cause they have a monopoly[1], of course I want them to do their best work with what boils down to a forced purchase. (ie when I pay my taxes, I'm forced to purchase a basket of goods decided by politicians and lobbyists) .

However, when it comes to private businesses? Let em die, I spend my money at the companies that give me the best value for my dollar. (yes sometimes premium, not always frugally).

> of having pride in your work?

Totally agree, find an employer that has that culture, then give them your absolute best. My point was do not throw your pearls to swine, do not martyr yourself at a company that does not value those things.

[1]: not that I'm automatically advocating for ending all gov't monopolies, I don't have a good alternate solution at hand for some cases, but still can recognize one of the properties of the choice
They have very different use cases. One is for completion, and one is for conversation.
what's stupid is that quotes like this, not actual substance of what their business practices are, are the only way the SEC can establish what is and isn't a "security." there is no real truth or objective test and the SEC has offered no meaningful guidance. so they just determine this based on subjective emails the CEO sent once.
No, the board can combat "extortion" in other ways.

Don't allow the initiator to _drop_ the request once started.

Initiator pays all costs (I think this is already done?).

Then any extortion has to happen up front, and it becomes much more obviously extortion.
Haha I think you right !

They have a practical monopoly on web and mobile ads, if they really are stagnating then all they need to do is jack up prices by a fraction of a cent and it's already billions in profit. I'm sure they have no problem increasing revenue over time.

Given how stupidly common ads are, increasing prices and upping scarcity would be a good thing overall anyway.
GPT doesn't give correct answers. It gives answers that sound correct.

Those correct-sounding answers are often actually correct, but this is more coincidence than design. Anything it says is suspect, and should be fact-checked.
Not sure how you come to this conclusion - the sentinel is a performance hit. If you're lucky enough to be working in a language and with the blessed types where it figures out a good sentinel for you, you're still paying the sentinel cost, just not any more than that.
I always find pricing in terms of developer time saved to be a tough sell, because different companies have different opportunity costs, value the product differently, pay differently, and different engineers have different productivity. That's a lot of axes to reason about. Most tools boil down to this eventually, but some are obviously things you'd never build internally (for a given size of company), whereas some are incremental improvements over what you might already be doing. I think Nucleus is in the latter category for many which makes this harder.

Have you considered things like per-region, per-host, per-cluster, per-active developer etc?
On the other hand, it's been argued that without the threat of a radical faction, moderate reformers are completely toothless. I'm not sure there's a generic answer to this dilemma that applies to all situations.
I have an Xbox One X that would be nice as a second PC. Even if it was an irreversible process that allowed me to install Windows, it would at least keep it out of the landfill for a little while longer.
I don't know why he quoted it like that because in the actual filing it's literally quoted as "we are operating as a fking unlicensed securities exchange in the USA bro.".

Not capitalized or missing the "w". Page 29 if you're curious. Ctrl + F also works.
Are there consistent major differences in time spent in transit for public transit / walkable cities VS cars? My understanding is that transit time is often similar, it's only the method that changes. E.g., most people probably aim to live within an hour of work regardless of commute method.
why would you expect to get a 4chan page? none of that data is persistent? iirc google relies on links to the page, so that is impossible, plus the content rotates constantly when they drop off the last page
Oh, yes, lol. That makes sense. But they're still vulnerable to injury and disease... and, unfortunately, probably killing a lot of birds and lizards that will struggle with the evolutionary pressure.

But you're probably relying on them for rodent control, right? As a rule, I think all cats should be indoors, but this is a case where it's not so bad if some people get exceptions. Presumably there's plenty of wildlife habitat where small critters can escape your cats without getting in your house!
I mainly use DDG, and this is part of the reason why.
Yup on point. When I worked in Singapore their workforce seemed to be exclusively Indian/malay/indo transitory workers, saw them loaded into the back of big wire-cages utes every morning driving to their worksites, don't think I saw a single chick on those trucks.

It's a complex issue though, and the reasons for and current state of play varies _so_ much between countries that it's not even really worth comparing tbh.
Use verbatim mode, under tools, after your initial search. They broke it, but it still helps.

> Cars happen when systems are built for them.

That's a tautology, and doesn't really address the point. Europeans also own a lot of cars, despite having cities much older than the modern automobile. Maybe cars have a use case that isn't easily addressed with public transit.
Yeah kind of, but you have the most freedom when you do it in the middle of nowhere; Disney had a wide berth in Florida for example. It's pretty hard to do such things in already built-up areas.
