As a developer who works for one of these news publishers you have little sympathy for, what I can tell you is that:

1) Most people don't want to pay for news. Even $1/year is too high.

2) Ad CPMs are low—especially on iOS thanks to Apple's ATT—so we need more ads to make the same amount of revenue.

3) "SEO clickbait" (especially Taboola) helps keep the lights on. Click at your own peril.

4) If governments pay news outlets, we're trading one captured entity for another. Sure, you might get less ads about singles in your area looking meet up, paywalls, and login prompts, but also might get less news critical to the government funding that news.

The people in the trenches building the product and writing the news don't want these things you mention, and we understand when we're building anti-patterns, but the bottom line demands it.
This is true but the main concern with compression loads is buckling, which generally happens well before the material yields to normal stress. This means that compression members need to be much stiffer in bending, and so generally bulky and geometrically large, with a big moment of inertia. Whereas tension members can basically just be wire rope.

Wood can easily be built up into a much larger cross-section than steel for the same cost and less weight, so it makes sense to use it for compression loads.
I wasn't aware that suicide was a question.

That's not an unreasonable commute 1-2 days per week though. I've done it in the past. The Bay Area is probably particularly difficult to get far enough out for housing to be reasonable but many areas are not.
As somebody who lives in the US South, this is spot on. I doubt I would choose to move here. Definitely not for a pay cut as the article implies.
Why was this hosted on gitlab.com ? If you're not on github, the discoverablity is pretty low. You are not self hosting. There is no upside for a project like this to be on gitlab.com. If you're already taking the hit of not being mainstream, why not self host in a sane country ?
You'd have to really stretch the definition of chemicals here to find any used on my own farm. Same goes for the farm we have a CSA membership with while we get our own produce setup built out.

I have visited the farm we get our CSA from a few times, but not often at all. Its much easier than you might think to meet the person growing your food and have a feel for them as people, their farm, etc. They do also often update on their own website and email newsletter, though again I don't really feel the need to watch them like hawks.

I don't think its much of an investment to actually meet the people making one's food if that really matters to them. Granted finding local farms isn't always easy and I'd love to see more people start, but would you really rather blindly trust a massive public corporation driven entirely by profits and almost certainly buying off the regulators meant to keep up safe in such a system?
I have a question for you. Why use Python at all? Or any of these puppeteer-type apps? If you're trying to scrape web sites then would it not make sense to do the scraping from inside of the web browser rather than from outside using these clunky and complicated methods? I mean, write the code in HTML/Javascript and load the page in any browser (Selenium and Puppeteer require Chrome). A local proxy server would, of course, still be vital even if only to bypass the CORS restrictions (though a good proxy needs to do much more than that). The bonus of running Javascript in the browser is the ability to use exec (important tool for cracking code obfuscation) and, of course, to parse JSON and HTML. Also, you can solve the Cloudflare bot challenge (or any bot challenge) by running the challenge in a new tab and stealing the cookies via the proxy server.

Just asking because I'm already doing this. I mentioned this months ago but I'm still preparing the tools for official release.
I am sure they could let people in late to a course if that student can find a way to catch up.
Reminds me of chemistry class at school when we synthesised salicin
and also extracted it from willow bark then had to prove they were the
same (or was it not quite the same because of "isomers"/<reason> I

can make it then nature probably already has".
No, I don't remember a time when people liked redesigns.
This is a very weird answer. People who are paying for your service want you to succeed, they want an alternative to Google search. Many of them (like the article above) explicitly say they don't want a t-shirt, they just want a better search product from you.

After all this very valid, very sensible feedback, you're commenting here saying "you need to be thinking out of the box" and trying to justify all the time, money and energy you spent on those t-shirts. Your customers are complaining because they want you to succeed. If they didn't care about you, they'd just cancel the subscription and move on. And your response to it is "nah, what we did was right" and not "yeah, maybe we shouldn't have spent all that resources on a stupid t-shirt that nobody wanted"?

I just don't get it. And what are you gonna do when you hit 50K members? Are you planning to send an entire wardrobe (from undies to a suit) to all your 50K customers (assuming IF you ever hit that many customers)?

Any water you drink is already very much hypotonic relative to your bodily fluids. Your minerals mostly come from your food, not your water.

I’m no expert on biology (I’m a chemist), but I drank quite a bit of DI water in grad school because the tap water was so gross.

Also, heavy water (D2O) tastes sweet. And it also won’t kill you when consumed, contrary to urban legend (at least not in quantities you can reasonably afford).

Sorry if this sounds harsh but I find it kind of funny that you're lamenting a loss of uniqueness and meaning in human art while operating a system that is basically designed to create derivative work while stripping all context and meaning from its training data. I think your reasoning is backwards. Nothing is wrong with human art, the systems you based this on are just completely lacking in the emotions you're looking for.

> stick most of it in investments and let long-term market trends

Not liquid, doesn't count for this purpose.

> random short-term life events

There's always something that requires a chunk of change isn't there? You may as well deal with it using normal cash flow. Anything larger than that gets rolled into a loan because interest rates are low (car, medical repayment plan, etc).

> Money buys security

In a low interest rate world, that security is very expensive. Shocks that are everyday are by definition no longer shocks but normal business. Deal, defer or finance. Roll initial high interest rate immediate financing into lower rate that takes more time to acquire.

Taking off this hat of devil's advocacy or steelmanning the opposite: I think the biggest problem of no cushion is the assumption that interest rates will stay low. People behave in meta-rational ways. Nobody says "I enjoy living by each paystub" but when classical incentives like getting a spiff for saving are not present, savings will not be a salient activity. It might even be better to have a level of unpredictable interest rate variability so that folks by and large learn to exercise a balanced approach of spend|save|invest.

The private game server scene is filled with the most motivated, ingenuous, time rich people. The best decision I had made when I was still deep in it was to focus dev efforts on API’s for accessing live server data (inventories, spawns, notifications, etc). The devs that come out of the brush with amazing ideas that they’re able to rally people around and execute on is a sight to behold.
I totally agree that it seems reasonable for the government to have to step in for mitigation of PFAS already in the water. This whole thread I was only talking about the part of the system that is adding those chemicals to the water to begin with.

I may not have much say in what is already in my water but I absolutely have a say in what I spend my money on.
> we still have low unemployment

We have more bullshit jobs than ever before in order to maintain that unemployment rate though
British politics used to have a third tier when the Lib-Dems were independent and unaligned with the other two larger parties. But that all went away in 2010 when the Tory party formed a coalition with the Lib-Dems. From that point the Lib-Dems became toxic as a vote for them is a vote for another Tory government.
You can’t mute ads while reading comments, now it’s in your face. I noticed other sites that I used to mute mute volume while their ads were playing that if you scroll out of view or change the focus on the window or the tab the video/ad autopauses. Slowly it’s turning into the old TV garbage..
In high school, I bought a used copy of a similar book for 50 cents at a book fair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Dictionary_of_Slang_and_Unco...

It was fun to just thumb through it and find bizarre old phrases like "cat's pyjamas."

Cool to see an open and digitized version of something similar, especially something better than urbandictionary, which can be useful, but also has a lot of repeat entries and a stupid ability to downvote correct entries.
I've felt similarly about tattoos. I've never understand someone complaining about their student debt when they've been to a dozen or so countries, or have $20K of tattoos on their body, or spend more on door dash per week than I do on food per month.

I do think for some people the number gets too large and it becomes abstract. $100K debt and they think "I'll never pay this off" while they spend $1000 a month across discretionary extras.
A lot of song lyrics would be happy with the last sound (k) rhyming anyway.
Animal Farm is as well; what is a farm but a piece of geography containing multiple living beings but organised for the ultimate benefit of only a few of them?

Remember: very few dystopias are as much about the other, as they are about the society in which they were written.

Animal Farm is the book-length exploration of what in 1984 gets a single sentence: "Even after enormous upheavals and seemingly irrevocable changes, the same pattern has always reasserted itself, just as a gyroscope will always return to equilibrium, however far it is pushed one way or the other.", while 1984 depicts why the pigs (the former Middle) just become the High with no real attempt to produce animal equality.

Goldstein poses the question "why should human equality be averted? ... Here we reach the central secret. This motive really consists..." and after that cliffhanger we get the torture, in the frame story, of Part 3, revealing the answer (an answer which young EAB may have implicitly learned at his boarding school?) to Goldstein's question: the cruelty is the point.

There are products that exist for that, though as always: maybe not in your market.

Over here they're called hybrid heat pumps and are quite popular. (At least with those that offer to sell them.) They're used in improving existing gas powered solutions. The heat pump takes most (or usually all) of the heating, while the existing gas heater provides hot water and can add peak heat if needed.

There's an automatic conformity within us, which is useful for communication, learning, trade, custom and law. e.g. It's helpful that we try to use the same words for the same things.

But we can't think outside our frameworks with this conformity engaged. Hence, the need for solitude.

I think the greater problem of a "person on business from Porlock" (https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Person_on_business_from_Porlock) was not the interruption itself, but that it engaged Coleridge automatic conformity... and so, without moorings, his imagined unreality drifted away like a dream on waking.

I must add that this is a higher human intellectual need - but we are also gregarious by deep mammalian nature, and if isolated, will invent and converse with imaged persons.

That's one way to do it, dealing with linkers was really not my thing so I just get the mapped memory list [1] and set it as the start pivot then stack pages on top of it [2]. Thankfully the brk heap isn't intrusive enough to climb up into the pages I allocated :) (this is actually why Linux' MAP_32BIT mmap starts from 0x40000000 [3], but I didn't like how high it was and made it dynamic)

There's a compelling argument that new hires should be work from office for their first couple of weeks, and that their team should probably spend more time in the office during the new hire's first few weeks too.

That's no reason to throw out hybrid work wholesale, though, and if that's the only thing keeping a workplace from going full remote the full costs and benefits need to be weighed appropriately.
There are metal bridges over 100 years old still in service today, including a few you've heard of. Do you know this specific bridge was replaced for this specific reason, or are you just making stuff up?

The idea of in-person meetings only works if there is one office where everyone is at.

I was forced to move to another state (pre-pandemic). The people on my team were in offices, but 5 different offices. So I moved to another state to be in an office, so I could sit on the phone all day, every day. There is no sense to that. It’s no exaggeration that the forced move cost me tens of thousands of dollars… and for what?

I recently had a FAANG recruiter reach out to me and when I brought up this concern when I was told I’d need to relocate to an office location, I was told the recruiter was in a similar portion on her team, spending all day on the phone because her team is spread across multiple offices.

In person meetings are great, but if the reality of the office strategy isn’t going to make them possible, then there is no point. I think the occasional in-person meetup can do a lot to build rapport with members of the team without being in an office all the time, or on a weekly hybrid schedule.

I’d go a step further to say that a meeting where 3 people are in a conference room and others are remote, is worse than everyone joining remote or from their desk. Meetings should either be 100% in-person, or 0% in person. Anything in between is a bad experience. I think it’s a safe bet that any company making news about return to office strategies has multiple offices with teams spread across multiple cities, states, and even countries. This makes meetings a poor justification for workers being in the office.
I know a couple people who did just this when I was working for Isilon, and did a little field work myself though I was based out of the Seattle HQ and only got as far as the burbs.

Soft touch customer care is a big deal and well worth it for these deals, which can easily run into the millions on a single support contract. You're not paying for the normal, you're paying for plenty of backup in case something goes wrong, and what he brought with him was more that he was familiar with the internal bureaucracy of the company to escalate things - or not waste more time on things that were easy.

Honestly, I think this was probably taxpayer money well spent - especially because it wasn't directly spent by the government, but only at its behest. A good support contract is valuable, and sometimes you have to test it on a nothing burger.
> It bothers us because most of us have basic empathy

I'm not really sure what empathy has to do with this?

> Also to train on the work of every artist then lament how human art resembles art generated by a machine trained to reproduce that art strikes me as a bit tone deaf.

Who did this?
YMMV. I prefer hybrid with two days a week in the office.

You can dedicate those days to meetings and conversations and keep the remote days for more heads down work.

And if you can’t make it to the office due to snow or travel, you’re prepared for remote work.
The easiest way is to win the H1b lottery, sponsoring an H1b worker is pretty easy and straightforward and plenty of companies do that.

You can also apply for a green card (employment based), and this heavily depends on your personal circumstances. If you're from India or China, you will have additional problems. But you'll need to do that anyway if you want to stay in the US permanently because the H1b visa is time-limited (unless you have a pending GC application).

Other than that, you can apply for an exceptional talent visa or a green card yourself.
Ive never understood why this style of architecture is seen as "horrific" and "offensive". It looks nice. I like to see the materials a building is made of. I am so sick stucco and paneling trying to hide the material a building is made of. If you want to paint it paint a mural. Why must everything be sterilized and flattened.
That's the whole point of Section 230. Service providers generally have immunity with respect to third-party content posted by their users. If a user posts something, it's their speech, and the user is therefore held responsible for it, not the website. Section 230 is what makes an internet of user-generated content possible.

I worked in SEO for a long time. Google (and really Bing and everybody else) do not care anymore about organic SEO. Look at the average SERP. You could rank #1 for organic search results and your link would still be near the bottom of the page buried beneath sponsored results, thumbnails of Youtube video results, and "people also asked" blocks of links.

Remember when SEO 101 involved having a site that's primarily easy for search bots to crawl? Today, that doesn't cause your site to rank better, but it does make it easy for Google to scrape your site's content to show as an "Instant Answer".

It's pay to play if you want your site to rank on search these days.

> The feeling of shame is mutual and I'll add disgust. I decided to leave Brazil after Bolsonaro was elected and I heard gunshots and death calls from neighbors, savages like yourself.

You're wrongly assuming I'm a Bolsonaro supporter because in your world anyone that criticizes your idol must be a Bolsonaro supporter and evil. The truth is that both Lula and Bolsonaro are evil beyond doubt but most of their supporters are victims of polarization and disinformation rather than bad persons.

Dude, Brazil was always a savage place. Obviously it's not a good thing but you're very privileged if this is the worst you have faced and you were able to leave the country. The reality is that most Brazilian face worse and can only dream of emigrating.

> Bolsonaro routinely said things like "we should have murdered 30,000 people (during the dictatorship)". Those statements don't lose votes, they gain votes from an appalling, bloodthirsty, evil minority like the commentor above.

What do you expect from a population heavily traumatized by crime and violence where yearly homicides far exceed 30K?

I'm more worried about a minority in Brazil which openly support a socialist revolution with mass executions and all. I'm worried about seemingly educated individuals supporting a corrupt president that is friends with dictators and evil regimes like Putin, Maduro, al-Assad, Gaddafi, Xi, Iran, Hamas.

> You are factually wrong. The homicide rate is still declining as of 2023.

I'm not. In 2018 and 2019 when Moro was Minister of Justice we saw unprecedented 2-digits decline in homicide rate. In 2020 after he was fired homicide rate increased. Further declines were timid in comparison and crime is thriving despite homicides falling because the current system rewards crime and the current government doesn't care about crime.

> Also worth it to note that the military dictatorship was responsible for the explosion in urban crime and violence in the 70s and 80s, which persists to this day.

Moro anti-crime measures weren't by no optic authoritarian. I don't see how those events can be relevant to this discussion besides you wanting to make false implications.
This is so ridiculous it hurts my soul. Hey Microsoft, maybe work on software quality and security and skip the ads.

I'm among those who hate it... it's worse than change for the sake of change & not being functional, it makes things less functional. The thumbnails under the video are annoying, but now to get more info on the video you need to click a few extra times to minimize your playlist & then click a few different 'more'... then it's squished in the stupid side column. Just frustrating wonky mechanics. The search results now are less useful too in a single column. If I wanted to use an app, I'd be on a phone or a tablet... forcing the app experience on desktop never works. I've reported it via 'send feedback' every day since it rolled out, lol.
