It does work pretty well for consumer brands and B2Bs focused on cheap, low-value, high volume plays.

The problem I see is SaaS and B2B businesses using the same playbook as a skincare brand for their content. That just doesn't work.

In OP's case, their content should have skipped written content altogether and focused more on podcasts and videos where they discuss specific problems they solve, even interviewing clients. Written content should have focused more on case studies and should have been used only to prop up the sales pitch.

The rest of the marketing budget should have been spent on sponsored listings on all these agency search websites and placements on relevant startup/small business podcasts.

I used to be difficult to make money writing books because it was difficult to write a good book that people wanted to buy.

'SEO' has a bad rep but there are legitimate concerns about how a site is made and how discoverable that information is.

I think of it as 'helping search engines understand your content', like preferably having your content in raw HTML rather than JS driven (less a problem nowadays with Google/Bing), a good site architecture, structured markup and avoidance of keyword cannibalisation.

Darker side is simply 'manipulating search engines'. Building pages for the sake of ranking, acquiring low quality backlinks, low quality content. Obvious paid for links on irrelevant pages. Daft things like keyword stuffing.

Google hires 10's of thousands of manual raters (at least last time I read about it) - generally if a site looks low effort and/or quality it's not going to succeed.

There'll definitely be actors in this world who know how to game Google at will, but obv plenty people who also think they can do a good job who actually can't, regardless of the ethics of how they do it.
Most of this is because the makers of the phone you chose to buy have decided that if you use the Kindle or Amazon app to buy books, they should get 30% of the price of the book.
I can see it being useful in a corporate setting to limit which sites you can visit with Chrome to just your secure admin panels and internal apps. Then use Firefox to go to dangerous places like… the Internet.

Iran (Iran Air and Mahan Air) is flying mostly Airbus and Boeing, but really, really, really old planes.

Given these are rather old planes, with a wide international distribution, I'm kind of expecting it's not too hard to find second hand parts cannibalized from retired planes and coming from neutral countries.

They were even able to smuggle parts to keep some of their F14s flying. In comparison, civilian airliner parts surely are easy to get.

Cuba is flying Russian except for a few ATR 72. I guess finding parts after 60 years to keep these Super Constellations flying is beyond reasonable.

These two countries are in a bit of a pickle actually. Parts can only help you up to a point, they will need new planes. With the EU and US mostly aligned and inter-dependent anyway, if you are under embargo, the only place you can get a full aircraft is Russia, but their industry is lagging behind (particularly engines and avionics). Their most modern planes cannot be built without using western parts currently.

China might be another provider in the future, but they are still dependent on foreign parts, engines in particular.

And in both cases, while they have regional jets (ARJ21 and Sukhoi Superjet) and 737/A320 equivalents (Comac 919, Irkut MC-21), the long range offer is more sketchy (Soviet era IL-96 and still in design phase Comac 929).

Again not requiring a root shell for daily use is a different topic from taking active steps from letting the "owner" of the hardware from having root.
Not running as root is common sense security, we already don't use root users for daily applications on desktop and server linux, and if you want to harden it further, good. You can harden your own pc as much as you want, you can run each app in its own user, apply SE Linux etc...but you have root access to it and can wipe it whole and install anything else if you want on it. Thats whats missing on phones, and we all know why.
I thought V1 was the decision speed, where you must takeoff unless the plane is literally incapable of leaving the ground.

Technically I think the takeoff speed is VRotate, where the plane is rotated and actually starts to leave the ground.

Having worked in the industry (though not for a while), I think the only thing you should should be paying for is experience. Yes, there are lots of scammers, even in fancy offices with fancy testimonials. But ultimately the only way you can evaluate an unknowable system is through experience, and the only way to improve the quality of that evaluation is by running lots of experiments.

Only agnecies who have lots and lots of clients are getting enough of an overview to test techniques in a repeatable way, across industries, audiences, etc. This one appears to have less than 10 employees and listed SEO last in their own list of services - suggesting maybe one or two staff who do a bit of it.

There is no way you should be handing over tens of thousands to someone who clearly doesn't have a lot of experience in SEO. They can only give generic entry level advice and hope for the best, which is exactly what this client got.

Is a big agency a guarantee of success? Absolutely not. But a tiny agency is almost a guarantee of failure of ROI. That said, I have known some very smart self-employed consultants in the industry, I don't want to tar them with the same brush.
Certainly can trademark any single letter. Honda and Hyundai manage to coexist in the same industry with different stylized "H" on the hood. Motorola has its "M", and Yahoo! has its "Y!". Facebook. Pinterest. McDonald's. Anyone and everyone can trademark letters. No problem.

I didn't draw conclusions about this specific instance.

Consequences should exist, and should be a deterrence against unsafe behaviour no matter the party. Consequences for corporations should be more significant than for individuals IMHO.

If Uber contributed to this in their training of their safety driver, the equipment in use, disabling built-in safety features, and so forth... then they should have penalties severe enough to adjust their behaviour too.

My thinking is that the more vulnerable a road user, the greater the ownership is on the less vulnerable, meaning the greater the consequences of their choices.

What I didn't do is limit "their" to just a driver / safety driver.

I think it's that idea that everyone has a great book/project in them if they only had TIME, free from distraction. But the reality is that they probably don't, even if given the opportunity! Slightly depressing TBH. Shows motivation and will is ultimately more important and things like the internet are just a comforting excuse.
> If motivated leaders can’t find a credible pathway over decades

Define motivated, define leaders, define can't find ;)

> I’m skeptical that an “urgent system wide transformation” is possible or desirable

The only other alternative (resulting from your previous point) is thus status quo and inevitable collapse.

> I’ve noticed the lack of realism

Yeah, such signs are everywhere :)

> instead of suggesting a realistic fix, decides it’s best to scrap the whole system

I don't know if you code or not ... but the system is akin to a large collection of large programs, defined by its rules and the interactions between its parts. When the system's complexity reaches a level where necessary meaningful changes become impossible, the only (albeit painful) solution is to rewrite the system. I'm afraid we've reached that point.

> Conveniently this replacement is not discussed

That would be the topic for others. In my opinion, given the system's complexity and the numerous possible ways forward, it's not even possible to address it succinctly in a reasonable scope and it would detract from the main point of this piece.

Very much sounds like "fake it till you make it". But sometimes the facade goes down before you make it.

> Any app that targets AOSP will be compatible.

You can only get keys to put in your device to do the attestation from Google, who then imposes restrictions on what your device can do.

> Server side code is completely separate from an Android app. It would never run on your system.

You obviously need the apps that run on your system to be able to access the server for that app.

> Then bootstrap this process with as many apps as you can afford to work with. As you grow your platform you can onboard more apps and you won't have to pay as much money to get them to support your OS.

There are no examples of this working. Microsoft even tried it and it did not work.

It's also clearly unavailable to Mozilla or Debian or anyone else without an existing monopoly to extract rents from in order to operate at a loss for an extended period of time.

> Promoting breaking device security is a shady business practice and if found out the keys would be blacklisted.

You don't tell them which keys they are. And if they blacklist entire device models then they'll hit lots of their own customers and make it hard for apps to rely on the attestation, which is great.
> most of the time, the review occurs when work seemed good enough for the requirements

Most of the time, a blocking review should contain information that the coder didn’t have, which changes their own perception about the readiness of the code: a bug they didn’t notice, a pattern in the codebase they didn’t know about, etc.

If there is any debate about whether a change is necessary it should probably be a “nit” with an approving review.

The point of “request changes” is to flag branches that everyone can agree need changes.
Really? That’s your response? You were mostly giving thoughtful replies. How disappointing.
> An ambulance in the UK is never more than 8 minutes away from you

https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resource/ambulance-response... says 8 minutes is the average response time for the "Category 1: Life-threatening" category, with the 90 percentile at 15 minutes. Less serious categories have longer times.

An ambulance in the UK can be miles away from you too, along narrow country roads. In both the UK and US, the places the most distant from ambulance service also tend to have very low populations and fewer call for ambulance services.

Here are statistics for the US specifically "for Patients With Suspected Stroke" published 2022: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.037509 . The numbers are in the supplementary data at https://www.ahajournals.org/action/downloadSupplement?doi=10... .

Median response time is 7 minutes with 90-percentile at 14 minutes.

About the same as the UK.

What you're suggesting leads to an offense/defense asymmetry. Spouting a conspiracy theory usually takes very little effort from the poster, they're either intimately familiar with it already or they just copy-paste the talking points from somewhere else (or both). Expecting others to write a deep rebuttal every time takes a lot of time, it basically amounts to a DDOS attack.

Ask HN: A better way to fund content creators
I've been thinking about how content creators get funding. There's various things like Patreon, YouTube memberships etc... and lots of one off donation type things such as Ko-fi or directly using Paypal.

The problem is, this all quickly adds up to a lot of money and most people will just end up in the situation of thinking - there's no way I can support everyone I should, so I won't support anyone.

I wonder if there's room for a better way of doing things. Maybe a way to make micropayments actually work?

What if you could pay whatever your budget is each year (maybe even a couple of dollars) and then allocate proportions of that to the people you want to support?

Maybe this could be adjusted over the year and topped up - not sure how all the maths would work. But it would let you just say - I've got $10 for the year to spend - as I find people I want to support I'll add them to my list.

The "scripts" directory in the repo has a good number of samples.

For example, a task JSON backend:

10 Easter Eggs in macOS [video]
It isn't Haddock, it's simply inspired by Haddock. It's a library I wrote called best-form [1]. The README gives context:

"This is a C# doc-gen tool. It was primarily built to support my Language-Ext project. Which is non-idiomatic in its approach. I couldn't find documentation generators that did it justice. I also really liked the Hackage documentation style from Haskell, so have taken a styling approach from there (even if it looks a little dated now, it was always the documentation I felt most comfortable reading)."

language-ext isn't idiomatic C# and so idiomatic C# doc-gens have quite a bad time with this library. One of the major benefits over other doc-gens is it grabs the README.md from each folder and prepends it to the relevant section - allowing me to write some contextual documentation outside of the auto-generated API documentation. This makes it a much more approachable reference.

It also supports markdown in the XML documentation, avoiding a lot of the need for lots of ugly XML special characters [in code] and extending the layout options compared to the common C# doc-gens.

Reaction: Old, old news. My father grew up long before antibiotics were a thing. (Producing penicillin, at scale, was a late-WWII development.) Back then, it was very well known that "minor" deep puncture wounds (from fangs, nails, or whatever) could prove fatal within days, due to bacterial infection. One my earliest memories of dad is of him telling me about another boy he knew, who died that way, and of how the boy's symptoms progressed. Obvious-in-hindsight moral lesson: "Son, if you get bit by something, or poked by a nail, or whatever - then you tell your parents immediately, so we can get you to the doctor. Embarrassment over how stupid you were, or covering up your rule-breaking, or emotional reasons like that - those won't keep you from dying like my friend died..."

Thats why fuzzers are important for testing, they brute force stupidity so the users dont have to.

The only (minor) advantage I see for paired programming is when the coder is out of ideas for some code at the first stage.

Some languages are self documenting which eliminates the non coding time.

Me personally, I just hate going around in circles (loops), its not elegant code, but it has to be done.
Knowledge of 'technical SEO' is also beneficial. Using structured markup and using href-lang when the site spans multiple languages for example. The kind of things I'd guess are domain specific knowledge.
