There is a history of tests being leaked in Korea and China. Here is an example https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/college-...

I followed the stories closely and what's weird is how little the College Board did about it. A number of times, whistleblowers would inform them about a test leak and even show them copies of it and they would do nothing about it. I think you're on to something as far as attempting to hack the SAT and the College Board just not having an adequate response.
Natural join is actually nice mental test of db semantics - if it does not just work, you have probably mixup of column names (same name meaning different things). If you have really clean and good patterns (I know you dont and you dont discover it before this major incident) it would work fine.
That was basically their previous model. As a software developer I blew threw several hundred queries per day ... $10 for unlimited searches is the point I was waiting for to make the change.

In Swedish our words for many relationships follow a very simple system of composing relationships. A few examples:

Mor = mother

Far = father

Bror = brother

Morfar = mother's father

Farfar = father's father

Farmor = father's mother

Farfar = father's father

Farbror = father's brother

Morbror = mother's brother

No fan of how Google is playing this at all, but for people with long memories (stretching back to the days of Groklaw and Sco vs IBM et al) it’s ironic to have someone quote David Boies complaining about another legal team’s dirty tricks.

This is the guy (for instance) who apparently instructed the security firm black cube to spy on people making (and reporting) sexual abuse claims against Harvey Weinstein in order to discredit them.[1] He’s definitely no stranger to dirty tricks.

> Having said that... There are probably many devices in your house or supply chain which deliberately contain lead in double digit percentages. Worry about those before worrying about contamination.

I cycled pulverized lead paint around my alveoli as a kid doing construction and used to bite lead fishing weights when I was very young to make sure they stayed on the line.

Thankfully it is now stored in my skeletal system for future use by my nervous system.
This pattern is pretty common on HN. Shallow dismissal and or overconfident alternative solution coming from those without any domain expertise (but that's okay because knowing how to code magically makes your ideas worth entertaining apparently).

Congrats on the launch. We are using it for our emails out to folks and it’s working well for us.

Been using Kagi for 2 months now and am pretty happy. Have been using the $10 plan even though I didn't cross the threshold as I think it's a good cause.

My two main complaints:

- It's not very good with conversions. Say searching '120mph in kmh' doesn't work. Or the little widget with conversions that do work like '120cm in m' doesn't allow to change the input and change values on the fly.

- The image search is super slow for whatever reason. It takes about 5 seconds before images show when doing a search.
Yes, unfortunately, Lean is harder to search for than some other programming languages. Although it seems workable: both DuckDuckGo and Google return Lean-related top results for me for "lean induction" and "lean match expression," for example.

> And of course Coq is phallic both in English and the original French.

Is it phallic in French too? I am not a French speaker. According to the French Wiktionary, "coq" means rooster, male chicken, cooked rooster, male partridge, a self-important person, a rooster on top of a church bell tower, a loose coin, a tool used for ironing, a kind of fish, a part used in watchmaking, or a cook working on a ship.[1] None of these sound phallic to me.

I have not seen evidence that this was intended as an English pun. Rather, it seems to have been a double pun in French, for the calculus of constructions (CoC) which Coq is based on, and Thierry Coquand who developed CoC.[2] So I just assume that it wasn't meant to be phallic and remind myself that some people speak French and they name their software French names.

It's a problem with a long tail, and it very much depends on what objective you're optimizing for. In search at least, you aim for "good" and "better", but will never achieve "perfect". It's a pretty interesting space at the meeting point of software and data science. You probably don't necessarily need to read full books before diving in, but play around with "learning to rank" https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/learning_... and maybe check out https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2017/0... .

I suspect (as an ignorant) that the letter is leaning on:

1) the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (It's as close to 'Son of Sam law' that the UK has, I believe.)

2) Some combination of Malicious Communications Act 1988 / Communications Act 2003 / Protection from Harassment Act 1997 / maybe even Public Order Act or Data Protection Act.

Relevant wording of note in the letter (not quoted fully in this article) is
"monetise his content...including his videos relating to the... allegations"
"Use the platform to undermine the welfare of... potentially illegal behaviour"

So the above can be used to argue that this isn't just 'guilty until proven innocent'. Just my diplomatic input.

Whatever 'justice' is in this case, I want it. But I do worry that this is overreach, and too broad. (I don't know enough about this case to have stronger feelings, and I refuse to have the knee-jerk reaction - either way - that the vast majority of people seem to be having).

Had the same question. Moved to useplunk afterwards.
No, it’s essentially false. The crime is not trading on something the public doesn’t know. It’s breaching the trust for information given to you in confidence. It’s completely different despite looking similar on the outcome.
We didn't need sorted dates before we started using unstructured media to store information.

Hand-written accounting journals, day books, have date ordering built into their physical substrate. It didn't matter how dates were given orally (some places: "today is the 23rd of June 1844"; others: "it's June 23, 1844 today"); nor did it matter that this ordering was transcribed onto the paper, using month numbers rather than the names of the months.

Now we do need to sort dates, so let's turn Japanese.

One of the big differences is that at some point they seemed to basically delist forums, de-rank most blogs, and totally forgot that personal web pages still exist. All those things are still out there, but you are highly unlikely to find them via Google now. Maybe if you do an exact phrase search for the page's title, otherwise, they're buried.

Another is that they tried to get too helpful and it backfired. There used to be a bunch of search operators that you could use to be specific and most of them don't work anymore. Because that was too complicated for most people. So now instead Google just ignores what you searched for and tries to guess what you actually meant, and ends up showing a lot of irrelevant results, some of which don't match what you searched for at all.

The third is that nowadays almost always, Google tries to spin it into a commercial request. The top results are usually for e-commerce sites or something selling products or services, no matter what you search for. It always assumes you're trying to buy something, not trying to find information.

I switched to duckduckgo years ago, and it generally gives much better results, but even it seems to be slipping a bit now. Still way better than the modernized Google, but for how long?
> Did I fail? Am I a poor language model? Or is the whole thing just tea leaf reading to begin with?

No offense to you, but I never would have picked "race track". That answer doesn't make much sense since the original prompt doesn't mention anything about racing, and the definition of a populated area fits well with the question being asked.

I wonder if it is also biased in the sense that it's only certain people who customise these things. And that it's only the most common ones. You would never see my favourite car forum listed here, but bumping it in search results is where I see value with the feature.
One of the systems I currently work on has all five of those. Which one was in use was developer's choice for pretty much any given page or feature.
It is Norwegian. And it is serious.

And I am not saying the concept doesn't exist, only that as far as I am aware there is no usable everyday word for it.

I mean: nobody will tell their kids they are going to visit dads mum and dads dad next week, rather than telling them they are going to visit grandma and granddad "across the country" or something?
> “searching … on Google, I get SO, MDM and basically a lot of SEO spam sites”

I get the same in Kagi clicking your link above.

Both the 1st and 3rd result is SO. 2nd result is MDM.

I’m confused, so what’s different between paid Kagi and free Google search then?

(Note: I’m not hating on Kagi, I’m just genuinely wanting to understand)
I don't think the US has a strong motivation to fight against this particular status quo. Politicians are aware that Americans like drugs, and they're probably very hesitant to put themselves directly between supply and demand.

Furthermore, I imagine a line of reasoning exists somewhere that a weak neighbor is a neighbor who can be manipulated. If we need tactical placements in that neighbors back yard, chances are that they can be exclusively acquired through threat of force and bribery (Edit: that is to say, they can be bullied, and the US is the closest and most effective bully around when you're Mexico. Keep in mind they're not just being bullied with threats, but also with promises of a more cooperative and economically entwined future).

Realistically, I think pretty much all Americans want to see Mexico succeed. Mexican culture is appreciated and related to here. Sadly, things being the way they are it seems difficult to be the one to actually get in the way of any of the obstacles holding Mexico back.
Somewhat related: you can request your US federal-level rap sheet (“Identity History Summary”) from the FBI for a small fee, commonly done as part of an application process for a long-term visa abroad.

No, it’s not the birthday paradox. This was a bet that expired nearly immediately after it was placed. This wasn’t someone who decided “I’ll invest in splunk today”.

> advocating for basically secession and creation of a new country

Let's be really precise. What you just said is absolutely something that everyone in a free democracy should be free to do as much as they want to their heart's content.

The quirk here is that India and many Hindu nationals disagree that this is all he was doing, and they instead basically brand him as something closer to a terrorist responsible for murders.

Who is right I don't know. These are very difficult things to figure out even decades later, never mind at the current moment in time in history.

It is not in dispute that India has a complex and bloody history discriminating heavily against it's Sikh minority in Punjab. And it is not in dispute that the Khalistan movement is responsible for the murders of hundreds of civilians through bombings.

None of this should enable the Indian government to be able to murder a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil without repercussions.

But it's important to be precise that what you describe OUGHT to be legal, and what India accuses this man of doing OUGHT to not be.

I dunno if any of this matters.

Well the whole point is to pay for the product instead of being the product. I am very happy with Kagi, but I mostly pay to show that there is a market for that business model.

> Before system version 3.0.0, OTP memory was never hidden, meaning that with the help of any exploit, the OTP keys could be extracted without problem.

Oh man, I remember this. Back in the day, hacking a 3DS required downgrading to firmware 3.0.0 to extract the OTP, but 3.0.0 was not fully compatible with the New 3DS so if you were doing it on that model, simply closing the lid while on the old firmware would permanently brick your console. Good times.
I don't understand why Kagi needs to be mass market. Why not just be the search engine for people willing to pay for better search? Does Ferrari feel the need to enter the economical midsize sedan market?

Advertising is a lot of work, and introduces a lot of tension into the business model. Spotify premium showed me "promoted content" last week (but they promise it's not an ad). They also accept payola for placement in discover weekly playlists, which means their features are useless to me. There's no reason to encourage Kagi to go down that route. They have a good business model that they and their customers are happy with.

If you really want to go full logician on this, even the format in which you're asked the question should make (a) being the correct answer clear.

You're being asked a multiple choice question:

- There's an implication of intended vagueness/indirection and multiple possibly suitable answers.

- Textual entailment is a very common type of multiple choice format, which would lean towards a more plain semantic correlation

As peer comments mentioned, that's completely missing the order of causation. Steam is a better example, because there was never any weird organization threatening everybody they could send a letter to with lawsuits. Yet it grew exponentially.

I think, in general, there are relatively few completely ideological 'pirates.' People will buy things when they can easily afford it, and it's easy to do so. When it's too expensive, not locally available, or when the payment methods involve hassles, they will simply download it instead.

You can write your implementation in Rust and expose a C ABI, and anyone using your library doesn't have to know or care that the internals use Rust. That's pretty much the whole point of Rust, otherwise you'd just use OCaml.

The only fun fact I remember about Lagrange Points is when I first heard of them with JWST I figured someone really smart must have used a supercomputer in recent history to calculate such a thing.

Nope. Someone in freaking -1750- figured them out (okay 1770 it was furthered)
