What if airbags inflated around the lander? The external shape of the lander-with-inflated-airbags and the internal weight distribution could make it self-righting, while shielding the external fixtures and the hull.

Yes, it's not impossible, but let's be serious for a moment, Google does control an enormous amount of web traffic. Are we really comfortable with advertising dictating which content is easier to popularize? I know I'm not.
The European Commission's own announcement of the fine against Apple has a cookie banner:

"This site uses cookies to offer you a better browsing experience."

Which of course is total crap. There's no better experience, only a worse experience with the banner.
The mask that were "popular" like cloth mask, etc. that weren't up to the N95 standards didn't work because the virus is aerosol. Not all masks are equal, that's what the science has discovered.

Also, not being associated with certain content is the purview of each individual and organization. The EU is a standard of this, that tells companies, like Twitter, that they still have responsibility about their user content, so they must moderate their site.

As a European, you almost certainly have better representation than most Americans. We haven't expanded the House of Representatives since 1929. We're approaching a million constituents per rep, an extreme outlier among OECD countries:

The reason Americans no longer trust Congress is because the Colonists had better representation per constituent (on paper) in British Parliament. Early U.S. representation was in line with Nordic countries today.

Imagine buying a MBP but using it at a desk 90% of the time... I'm perfectly fine using the machine while traveling but mostly use split keyboards with a non-QWERTY layout at my desk. I've been around enough computer users to realize that there is no "one-true device" that will be ergonomic and RSI-proof for 100% of users. Folks should listen to their body and take action when it complains.

My biggest complaint about the MBP was the lack of Trackpoint. I've survived. My work forces me to have both MacOS and Windows machines, and I'm very happy with my MBP. The P1 and sluggishness of Windows are huge letdowns.

My hypothesis: tell a LLM to flip a coin, then tell it the last flip was heads. It will almost certainly tell you the results was tails. It doesn't understand random means random (actually ChatGPT will now execute Python for this).

When you tell an LLM to simply include diverse people, it will do that, emphasis on the "diverse" part.

When I was in school learning about recursion for the first time, I only truly 'got' it when I opened up Excel and drew it out like this:

fib(5) n=5 ----------------
| n=5
|-- fib(5-1=4) ------------
|-- | n=4
|-- | -- fib(4-1=3) -------
|-- | -- | n=3
|-- | -- | ...
|-- | -- end of fib(3) ----
|-- | here n is still 4
|-- end of fib(4)
| here n is still 5
|-- fib(5-2=3) ------------
|-- | n=3
|-- | ...
|-- end of fib(3)
| here n is still 5
end of fib(5)

with different colours for each invocation. The point I'd been missing/not taught very well is that each invocation has its own values for the arguments, and once that invocation returns, the previous invocation still has whatever values it used to have for the arguments. That was the key for me of 20 years ago, and the Excel visualisation was when the penny dropped.
The cookie warning regulation is bad, but only mildly so.
Google has to take into account the fact that googlebombing in a coordinated way to wage information warfare, is a thing.

No opinion on any specific action of Google, but I have very strong ideas about the efficacy of assuming anything about the internet is a libertarian unregulated market producing optimal results through natural law.

Rather, the information ecosystem is a wildly polluted commons, polluted by design in all directions, and Google may simply be trying to keep track of the most intentional polluters and poisoners. Can't fault 'em for that.

Also, 'profit' is a very flexible term. If you assume that the only profit is that of Google ads or ad revenue, you ignore the profit that can come from polluting the information sphere in such a way that you can execute a coup and conquer, subjugate and destroy an adjacent country, which is a very old school method of having an effect on the world. And yet, it persists, and uses the internet and Google (where possible) to facilitate the behavior.
There are two systems at play when you see a cookie warning:

1. Businesses trying to violate your privacy.
2. A government trying to protect you from said businesses.

Either of these entities could avoid the cookie warning, but there are very different reasons why they do not.
Every company is pumping out AI products these days. The new (old) buzzword. Bye bye “blockchain”, hello AI/ChatGPT/LLM in all quarterly reports from public companies.

Seems limited to be honest. Does it also stop “attacks” that are not in English?
The summary is "When the FanDuel founders raised funds, two key investors received a liquidation preference that entitled them to the first $559M in an acquisition. Founders and employees would be paid only if the acquisition exceeded $559M. Because the Paddy Power Betfair was for just $465M, the founders received nothing"

Also they raised over 400M in funding. If you exit with 465M with 400 million raised in funding AND liquidation preference entitles investors to first $559M in an aquisition, of course you are going to get nothing.

The question is why they raised 400M in funding and could only exit for 465M. This tells me it was a failed business.

Your fault for not reading their ToS:

number 8.1 in the German version, number 4 in the English one:
"Furthermore, the operation of applications for mining cryptocurrencies is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, mining, farming and plotting of cryptocurrencies. In the case of non-compliance, we are entitled to lock your access to the Service and/or to your account."

Lots of hosters and cloud providers have this and similar exclusions, to keep out the typically shady cryptocurrency crowd, their excessive resource usage, high payment risk and reputation damage.

E.g. Google Cloud also doesn't allow cryptocurrency stuff without prior approval, 3.3 iv: https://cloud.google.com/terms , same for AWS, 1.25: https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/
So I hope you got your written approval first, otherwise AWS might be equally nasty to you.

You've once again repeated the same line about "culture wars". How exactly is this different from any other tool? Should VS Code hit up an error if you write code to check in a regex for /liberal tears/? How about s/hitler//g? As far as I can see in the announcement, the tool itself does not present any particular viewpoint. Is filtering out PII data now all of a sudden part of some sort of culture war?

Given the wide availability of "open source" models (in quotes because, while they're freely available, I don't believe they follow in the same spirit of true open source, with reproducible builds, etc), you can build an AI/LLM to do whatever you like, whether it's illegal in your locality or not. CloudFlare's customers want some sort of functionality to put guardrails around their LLM deployments, and they are offering it. As you say, companies that contract with CF are "allowed" to use this tool; CloudFlare is not mandating the use of the tool.

Is infrastructure truly neutral? If so, you should read about how the Taliban (owner of the .af TLD) unilaterally deregistered the domain name `queer.af`. CloudFlare has famously deplatformed the Daily Stormer.
Someone posted a website to HN a year ago which took a track as input and then returned you a list of similar tracks based on the sonic qualities.

I tried it with Blue in Green and it actually did supply a list of tonally, harmonically, musically similar tracks. None were as good, of course, but still it was good to get more of the same vibe.
I took and ID3 for a test drive, an accidentally activated the speed limiter on the highway. That got quite scary, and it took ages to realize I had to swipe on one of the fake buttons to disable it.

Compared to ID4, ID3 has another epic cost saving measure: They removed the two switches for the rear windows from the driver door, and replaced it with a toggle switch that decides whether the switches for the front windows really control the front windows, or the rear ones. So in total they saved one physical switch, but made the user experience much worse.

I also skipped the entire ID-family due to that. At least the Enyaq (Skoda's ID4) has a much better setup with physical buttons on the steering wheel, and more physical buttons for the console.

I distinctly remember US health authorities claiming that surgical-grade masks, perhaps specifically N95s, that I am not 100% sure, were not helpful, and this led to social media companies deboosting posts disagreeing with that assessment and applying labels basically calling them fake. I don't recall if they were banning people at that point. But I am surprised that so few people remember the constant flip-flopping and goalpost-shifting. I would think that anyone paying attention would be very wary of "informationisms" as a result.

By the way, questioning the usefulness of cloth masks after that period would get you shunned or banned on many networks well past the point where we had ample evidence to prove that they were ineffective, so even ignoring the initial screw-up, there is plenty of easily provable information that was systematically censored by Internet information brokers.

If you have to use hyperbole (aka lies, fantasies, or otherwise misrepresentations of reality), then you have no point.

Hyperbole is for good storytelling, not nuanced discussion or argument.
30 years ago all respected news organizations had a strict separation between ads and content. The ad side was not allowed to tell the news side what to publish. either you buy an ad, or you don't, but never would the ad side tell the news side why someone pulled ads.
Some of the older posts (https://leben-im-zug.de/howto-nachtreise-im-ice/) explain that when he was travelling second class, he was able to sleep on a luggage rack most of the time. That practice actually appears to consume a negative number of seats!

This is clearly also something you can only do when you're seventeen. I think if I tried to sleep on a luggage rack then (a) I would wake up in a claustrophobic panic attack, and (b) the rack would break.
Houston is by the coast. It is pretty damp and humid. More swamp than desert.
Without stating an opinion, I just want to get some of the facts clarified since there are a lot of knee-jerk reactions here:

1) Google isn't threatening to deindex them, they're threatening to pull ads on the site. This is likely to be due to the fact that advertisers are very sensitive about what kinds of content their brand is associated with.

2) The content that is most likely triggering Google's let's-not-scare-off-advertisers alarms is most likely in the rather extensive comment sections. For example, one of the articles they call out as being flagged falsely [0] for vaccine misinformation and hateful speech doesn't mention vaccines in the body but does have a comment in the body that mentions vaccines in a hostile way.

Read Lyn Alden's "Broken Money" you'll get a very different perspective.

There's not much benevolence in the current petrodollar system. It effectively enslaves smaller economies to decisions of The Fed; then add in the World Bank and the IMF and the economic death grip tightens.

Petrodollars are a heavy thumb on the scale. Alter the strength of that system and the world order changes. That is, sovereign states become sovereign. Smaller economies are victimized far less often. Etc.

Those cookie warnings make me immediately close every website that doesn't make it very easy to opt out from tracking.

The ones I listed have classical C and C++ like value types available to them, with stack allocation or global memory segments, and mechanisms to do deterministic resource management.

Can you pull the article? Because I remember several times repeating to others that it isn't that they didn't work, but that the public doesn't need 'em, since social distancing should be enough. The N95 production of mask at the start of the pandemic wasn't able to give a mask to everyone that wanted one. Nowadays, there's sufficient production to do that. That was the whole thing.
> As much as many Europeans may loathe the united states
First to get it out of the way, I don't think many Europeans loathe the USA. Some might disagree with some of the major influences from the US, but that comes from a position of respect, something like agree to disagree.

With regards to the health R&D, well. My view is that to call what happens in the US subsidizing others sounds surprisingly charitable when it is all but that. The US health industry is a surprisingly economically unregulated cut-throat market. What the private companies that make up the majority of the American health industry do is what they are supposed to do, maximize profits. No surprise there. What is surprising is that some people expect that maximizing profits leads to good and value for money healthcare for individual people.

What happens is that the US health system/regulations/laws lead to high prices for patients and huge profits for companies. So if the US intention is to have good health care they shot themself in the foot. But I don't know that.

Radical community education (1994)
Finding Focus
This is the one area where Google's massive power on web advertising could be used for good. If they would push back against this stuff to advertisers, the advertisers would (for the most part) just lighten up.

What really happens is that both Google and the advertisers want it to be this way. Many Google employees hate the idea that their search engine "surfaces harmful information," and they define "harmful" in a much more broad way than most people do.

So no, Google doesn't get to use this excuse about "we're just hamstrung by the advertisers!"
Close... it's because they're a monopoly. They're not really lazy, plenty of people at Google work hard, but monopolies over time lose their ability to innovate or to compete on quality.

They are only able to focus and organize around one thing: protecting the cash cow. So with Google that's the search advertising business and as a calcifying monopoly they will struggle to do anything else. They know that AI's potentially a threat but in an abstract, marketing-mutating sort of way their ad sales juggernaut can't understand. So they will throw a lot of money at AI, execs will make announcements stuffed with words like Bold and Transformation, and then they'll get sub-par results. This time around they ended up chasing random internal DEI goals or something instead of building a good product, and who knows what flub it will be next time.

The direct comparison is Microsoft's inability to win at mobile, no matter how much cash they burned. Similarly mobile was kind of this existential threat at the perimeter of the cash cow, which was enterprise Windows. So they threw gobs of money at it, but because they had become dysfunctional outside of directly preserving the cash cow, they couldn't make stuff stick. Your Pocket PC (literally they called it a PC!) is a clunker but hey it can connect to an Exchange server! Now let's buy Nokia and run it into the ground!

The early days of the pandemic, when everyone was actually most scared, had authrority figures tell us not to wear masks and that the virus is not airborne, just droplets (so that it's important to wash our hands and anything we buy). The idea that the virus isn't airborne persisted even after they started admitting that masks are critical.

And regardless, any mask of any kind helps. N95 is much better, but even a basic cloth mask will help reduce the amount of viral load you breath out or in. Especially if both the person breathing out and the one breathing in are wearing them.
