Absolutely fucking not. 90% of that they call SEO is total bullshit. And people involved with this shit are so invested into it that they themselves believe what they are selling.

Bottom line is having something on the screen visible and interesting to people get clicks, if that content is index-able you basically are "SEO" ready. All these old tricks to "game" search engines are all cut out, special tags and what not are ignored. People would be way better or investing their time and money into content or website connections that are REAL not fake. And no agency will make them.

I even think metadata is overrated, especially if you use WordPress and a theme that has a normal structure to the content and uses the proper tags like nav, main, article, aside. Google has learned long ago what the date and the author name and stuff is. I believe search engines are quite capable of indexing things correctly without having it all schema.org'ed up. But it for sure does not hurt. If your content is more specialized and has uncommon data then you probably want to, but if you just have a regular site, I think it's overrated.
I think what's so fascinating about academia (really, university life in general) is the juxtaposition of intelligence with the cheating and fraudulent behavior that occurs.

I have never, ever cheated in school. I was really surprised when I went to college, with the amount of cheating that went on. A huge proportion of my class would take a shortcut. Get the answers to an assignment from a friend, cheat the clicker, plagiarize. A smaller subset were determined to never honestly do an assignment. Every assignment was approached, first and foremost, with a strategy for how to defraud it.

What's so interesting is that so many of these cheaters, the worst ones included, were extremely intelligent people. The most capable cheaters were as smart as the honest top of the class. (The slackers, who just wanted the degree, all muddled through with C's. Which is fine!). Academic fraud at the highest level, among tenured professors, is the most extreme possible case of this.

What gets me is that if you stop and think about fraud, about cheating, for literally a minute, you can only come to the conclusion that it's a huge disservice to absolutely everyone. It's obviously a disservice to the honest people in your cohort, because it robs them of advancement. It's a disservice to you, because you waste time cheating instead of learning -- which only leads to issues down the road, because you need the things you're learning about in school.

But I think most importantly, it's a joyless activity. Any pride you have in your work, passion for what you're doing, it's all permanently tainted by the fraud. One of the funnest, most enjoyable parts of life, in my mind, is getting really really good at something really really hard, and mastering it. These people are the absolute best. Tao Li, the stories in here [1], the Alzheimer's case. I mean I'm angry about these things of course, but more than anything, it's a pity/feeling bad for/disgust reaction. They wasted their whole lives on getting to the top of the field, only to suck all of the joy out of the achievement by cheating to get there.

These people are so clearly gifted. How is it that they cannot make this connection?

Same, but some animals are more equal than others. I'd personally trust one of those Japanese companies that lasted hundreds of years more on questions like stability and carefulness, compared to a flash-in-the-pan SV startup that's been around since 2016.
> I've never found text-based formats to be a good choice for data that humans will rarely need to read or write;

A computer may need to read the data millions of times, but humans only need to read it when things goes wrong. If you take the route of using a binary format, then you need to provide a robust set of tools to view, edit, debug that format. It can absolutely work, journald is binary, but has the tooling to help you get the plain text, when you need it. Protobuf could work well, but if you design your own binary data format you have to build some tooling as well.

For many (most) it doesn't matter much if you use XML or JSON, the computer will process it fast enough. If the concern is parsing speed, then yes, absolutely binary formats might be the best option. For things like HFT or anything else that processes vast volumes of data, its probably the only choice.

I was with you up until your last statement.

The only reason why it's probably not going to be worth supporting the other stores is that the userbase is going to be too small, which makes the potential extra revenue you can get in the other store likely too low to justify the support

But 30% is never going to be a bargain, even if you're a solo developer. It's 30% of the company revenue if they're only on the app store. That's likely more then your wage in it's entirely.

Sometimes I do wonder why downvotes happen. I almost feel like downvoting should have a mandatory text field that needs some kind of (original commenter visible) text in it so the downvoting isn't just a trivial instant I-don't-like-this button. I'd be interested in seeing how it would impact downvoting across HN, but also whether it impacted my own downvoting? (@dang feature request? :D)
It’s not the same people. As they wrote in the article, journalists are not involved in peer-review.
I remember first watching 4k HDR films (I remember gemini man in particular) and it looked different from previous films and I had to adapt.

maybe too high res? Or maybe HDR eliminated artifacts like bloom or something that seemed to make it too perfect.
It all feels very Godfather Part 1-ish.
I like the compositing idea though. Could that get us 50 % of the effect with 5 % of the bulk and cost?

Hard to tell really. I do wish they had cheaper access to their enterprise repos, perhaps a no-support option...
When I was writing an xbrl-to-json library I suddenly realized that they are not perfectly transferable.

XML comes from spreadsheets, and so it was the first mover. Whereas json came from key-value pairs. I think key-value pairs are much easier to picture in your mind, and for the vast majority of work people are doing, it's just simpler.

I think XML is wildly complicated for simply APIs.
Exactly. The moon has a gravity well, and while it's a sixth of Earth's, it would still take a lot of energy.

Plus, there's the public relations of mining the moon, versus mining asteroids.

It kind of makes sense. If you unlock it, install software and then try to sell it, it is a Motorola branded device, but it no longer functions as Motorola designed or intended. I can see where the lawyers are trying to prevent the consequences of actions by the end-user from falling back on them.

Seems like an area of the law that's a bit unclear.
I wonder if we just went down we might find infinite resources.

I have lots of strong and compelling evidence that my self-control is unusually low. Doctors have said that since I was very young, so if anybody was making an excuse, it was the adults around me more than myself and I simply internalised those excuses later.

It's extremely humiliating, and I've gone a lot further than listening to the daily stoic, there's an entire body of scientific literature on how to improve self-control in general and for people like me who seem to have literal neurological abnormalities. I've spent the last few weeks miserable from medication side-effects for instance.

No, this is a common fallacy. You can tell ChatGPT, one of the most infamously hobbled GPTs, in custom instructions that you do want profanity, and it will oblige. This is not a jailbreak, this is supported behavior.
For most things, SQLite is a very good format and somehow still underused in favour of custom formats (without or with very basic) tooling.
The M3 does in fact have some software-visible architectural improvements over the M1/M2 (new GPU capabilities, and I believe some new instructions). This does mean that Apple is likely to sunset support for the M2 sooner than they might otherwise do.

Normally this is just an upscales tactic, but I'd be inclined to believe it this time.
https://cloud.google.com/tasks is such a good model and I really want an open source version of it (or to finally bite the bullet and write my own).

Having http targets means you get things like rate limiting, middleware, and observability that your regular application uses, and you aren’t tied to whatever backend the task system supports.

Set up a separate scaling group and away you go.
Well, you know, values. What are your values? Whatever they are, probably humanity ticks a lot of the boxes, which are probably not ticked by tapeworms or wombats (even) or icy rocks floating in space. Or maybe you just have one core value, like knowledge: it's still humanity that's best equipped to sustain or further it (until we get deprecated maybe).

Or maybe you don't have any values, in which case, fair enough, good point, fuck it.
Great! Now just let me know how I can tell the market is low or high.
I think your uncle's case is a bit different of that from a world-famous author who has writings that he didn't publish, who wants those not published after he's gone.

As others have pointed out, if his children really thought this was important for his legacy and he only had the destructive wish due to dementia, they could have made the writings available without profiting from that.

$6,000 could be reasonable but you don't understand what your goal is, if the method you choose was right and how much value the SEO company is delivering.

Take a step back. Is building many backlinks from low rep sources the right strategy? It would be in the gambling space. From the little I know I would use that money for sending people conferences/events, invest in facebook health community groups, content for socials like youtube videos. Hire someone for 6,000 who can get you on media. Hire a writer, write a book and give it away.
...you weren't kidding
I'm glad to hear that some schools have good internal mechanisms and a nontoxic culture, but unfortunately I suspect this is not the case in general.

In my case (a top school in the USA), even with copious and explicit evidence of misconduct, and a history of student complaints against my advisor, whistleblowing was a year-long nightmare during which the administration consistently backed the professor.
Epic didn't just feel it was "wrong". They had legal arguments with merit. And they did prevail in one of them, so in fact the contract was illegal in part. Equating legitimate legal disputes with simply not paying your mortgage for no good reason is absurd.

I agree, how to use the resources available is an underrated skill. I find an increasing part of the value I add is in being able to find answers in our vendor’s less-than-optimal documentation and search.

I do think the subject of the article has something much deeper going on.
I think it's pretty much impossible to write unambiguous laws. That's just reality.

Congress are already criticized for writing laws which are too long.

But there is a conflict here between writing laws which are unambiguous and laws which are easy to understand.

Also, I don't know that corporate citizenship matters in this case.
Nobody is going to do this on their free time. We have our own work to do, and our own milestones to keep funding bodies happy in order to be able to keep doing research. So you’d need to set up a system from scratch to pay for (sometimes very expensive; a neutron source does not come cheap) replication studies. And then you get perverse incentives because reviewers can benefit financially or materially from this.

The way it works now is already reasonable, actually. One paper is not a proof of anything, it is a claim. A ground-breaking article starts a gold rush of people who want to be where the action is, which leads to a lot of follow-up or exploratory studies, which leads to independent verification and replication. At this point, the initial claim starts being accepted. For all the noise in mainstream media, something does not become the state of knowledge after a single article. This is actually quite robust because that system works even if individual articles are unreliable.
The point of GP comment is that these people weren't driven by greed. Whether or how they were sponsored by the wealthy wasn't relevant to the discussion.

Usually type safety isn't the issue, rather pretending the network doesn't exist.

> I suppose one advantage of doing the former is that you might be able to directly bind mount it into an LXC container rather than using loopback SMB/NFS/9p, right?

Yep, I do this and it's very simple to give LXCs access to parts of my storage array.
I can read from a hexdump a few binary formats I've worked with over the years. Not really harder than learning any other language, but much more concise than text-based formats.
Thankfully we've moved on and no longer invent XML languages.

We use YAML now which is obviously much better.

Thanks tomcam! This is probably the weirdest project I’ve launched so far.

I can share that the strategy here is to rank for “maternity photoshoot.” Obviously. But it will take a while to get backlinks and rank.

According to ahrefs the phrase has great volume (25k/mo in the US) and low competition (difficulty of 2, on a scale of 0-100). Which is an opportunity I haven’t seen before.

The low price is to incentivize initial sales and prove to people that it actually works.

This essentially follows Danny postma’s playbook, here: https://twitter.com/dannypostmaa/status/1646368426246680579

The alternative (a physical photoshoot) is expensive, and a luxury most moms can’t even consider, so it would be cool if the idea works out!
Hopefully this will be the end of RED's insane patent trolling.

They patented the idea of making raw video, and have successfully sued both Apple and Nikon as well as gotten settlements from other companies over this stupid patent.

The big deal is a portable system that can go off road, communicate in an much more challenging RF environment. Civil missions usually have the advantage of fixed infrastructure and not having a hostile military trying to jam you and locate you via RDF and shell you.
> But does anyone dare board a plane when none of the passengers have been screened?

Yes. Without hesitation, yes.

Americans learned a lesson on 9/11/01. Prior to that, almost all hijackings resulted in the eventual release of the passengers. No one had ever hijacked a plane in the US and flown it into a building before. There was no real reason to fight back if doing so put you at risk.

After 9/11/01, the default assumption to the hijacking of an American airliner can only be that everyone on board is going to die, along with an unknown number of people on the ground. That change in perspective significantly alters the likely outcome.

If someone tried to hijack an airliner in 2024 with a knife - or even a gun - I would be highly surprised if, at the end of the day, more injuries were caused by the attacker than from the scramble of people jumping on top of them to subdue them.

The problems TSA was nominally created to solve simply no longer exist. Screen luggage for explosive, maybe walk people through an x-ray if the airline wants that, and move on with life.
FYI, RDF transports graph data, where nodes MUST have a unique ID, where relationships MUST be typed, and nodes can optionally be typed.
RDF has several serializtion format, one of them being XML. A binary format also exist.
And the most convenient one to generate, read and understand is (imho) Turtle, aka TTL).
maedeline hiding behind the bookshelf is so fucking adorable
This is less about hating on XML and more about not reinventing the wheel.

I quite like XML. Things like xpath make working with it, or getting data from it much easier than JSON; though I love jq syntax and can't wait until it starts being incorporated into languages. I don't even mind xslt provided it's not being over used.
I believe react has that now with the use hook.
It's not an ethnostate either. There's 2 million muslim arab people living in Israel with full citizenship and all the rights that go with it--including the right to vote in democratic elections. It's no more an ethnostate than, say, France or Germany.
The straightforward answer is because they like their current rules more than Robert's rules. I'd imagine literally every rule was voted on by the body in question, so they are all things that people supported.

If you want to get really cynical, the major parties are complex coalitions of interest groups. It is really convenient for the power brokers to have arcane rules because issues can be delayed and the waters muddied around which politicians support what. Doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be weird enough that the average voter gets confused about whats and whys of procedural details.
I liked magic actually. Mostly because many other things were worse. Table driven development or something it was called? Works for my brain.
I have never understood why RDF (especially TTL) has never become the format of choice for data exchange.

XML and JSON are usually sending connected data (:graphs), and there are very inconvenient at doing that (being tree-structured).
Gotta agrees here. How many times a day do you get asked what data did your API send to my API? For me it’s daily. Need a format that is logged and able to be displayed in an admin UI somewhere, so a DB query is not needed to prove yes A was sent to you so if A is not in your system, then it’s an issue on the other side. I would not want to debug an API that talked to another API in binary…. I mean XML or JSON is still better than binary… I love applying for jobs that ask if I know JASON because the answer is always yes when its XML I don’t know anyone by that name
Well as said the message is in the media, nikon news … canon not nikonrumour because red use canon mount …
OpenAI announces new members to board of directors
This brings up something very important for grad students to know these days, since I've heard of wronged students at various universities over the years...

Any grad student who encounters academic dishonesty by their advisor (at least in the US)... First go talk to a lawyer. A lawyer of your own, not connected with the university (except perhaps as an alum). Not a dean, not an ombud, not the kindly professor who's a friend to all students, not that other professor who sounded especially forthright in class.

Ask the lawyer for a free initial consultation. Where you might find they're comfortable handling this situation, or they might recommend a better lawyer for it. They can also talk about how the costs would work for your situation. You can check out a few lawyers this way.

Once you have a lawyer, they can advise you how to approach the university, and/or approach the university themself, to protect you, and to get the harm to you fixed.

Getting a lawyer doesn't mean you can't work things out with the university, and finish successfully.

But if you try to do it on your own, trusting university channels, there will likely be people who don't believe you, people who are friends/colleagues of the person committing misconduct and not wanting it to be a big deal, people scared of the person's influence, and people who will ruthlessly cover up wrongdoing to cover either their own butt or the university's. Also, if a dishonest advisor suspects you are a threat, they are in a position to easily ruin your career with impunity, and you don't want to gamble on their true character.

You need help navigating that.

You can come back from this. You just need the the help of a lawyer, so even the sketchiest elements of the university will know they have to take you seriously, and deal with you fairly. And a lawyer can help make sure that they follow through on fixing it.

Also, whatever you do, don't let yourself be destroyed like this person in the article did. It sounds like he didn't feel he had options, was extremely stressed, probably sleep deprived, temporarily disenchanted with the field by the situation, and had been physically threatened. His case was tragic. Don't let another tragic case happen. You have more power than you think, and you'll feel better about the field and life once this BS is fixed.

It's fine to post your own stuff here if you don't repost it too much, but it's important to make it clear that you are part of the team.

India has a massive network of "agents" who help a lot of Indians escape India. It was only matter of time before Russians could exploit this to get some much needed manpower.
