While the link itself is not political, it seems to be inviting the people who want to turn HN into a place where they can say why their preferred candidate is the best, or more typically why the other candidate is just about the worst person in human history.

HN is better when politics are discussed elsewhere.

It does looks like the teams didn't have enough time to dial in the software to keep the right amount of traction. The cars were quite frequently spinning out.

If you watched the qualification session, you could even see, some cars suddenly doing sudden twitching maneuvers and stranding themselves.
To the parent commenter - have you set up google search console and reviewed what pages and keywords were affected? There could be other reasons why your pages aren't being indexed properly. If it's a small site, it could have been something as simple as changing an image or page title.

Are the rules different for moving premium domains? I have a couple.
To remove the extra info. Inkscape adds a lot of stuff. For example export a simple SVG from Figma and open it in Inkscape, then save and compare.
Consider moving to Porkbun, where they have actual humans who know what DNS is and how it works.

I moved a test domain to them. I was impressed that they not only moved the domain while keeping the correct nameservers, but they also imported existing DNS glue, too, meaning there wasn't the tiniest bit of downtime.
Pivot to paid search engines where you are the customer not the product.

Ask an email administrator how well decentralization works at scale.

It should be concerning that email has re-centralized to deal with all the problems that come from federation and decentralization.
That's true, people do like their fashion.

But, again, it's not a choice between no fashion and ultra fast fashion (sell 10% of stock and throw away the rest). We can make clothes that are more durable, more customizable, we can have regulate how fast should fast fashion be, and, of course, regulate how waste should be treated.

Btw, I bet if you throw all that waste in a chemical reactor with a hydrogen source you can revert it back to hydrocarbons. I'm not a chemical engineer and I might be wrong, of course.

I recently bootstrapped myself from your level to algebraic geometry — enough to read an annotated version of Einstein's paper. If I had to do it again, I'd just skip to the parts that worked: (1) hit up Michael Penn on YT, but work all the problems he works; and, (2) learn GA, I like MacDonald's "Linear and Geometric Algebra". I'm going to be honest: unless you do the homework, you can't learn the math.

I learned Penn because it's "real" (mainstream) math & lets you read in the same language; I learned GA because it's designed to proselytize to other mathematicians & deliberately presents serous ideas in very approachable ways.
A plastic surgeon is a legitimate business. How on earth would a business like that promote its site and gain visitors? By paying exuberant fees on keyword auctions on AdWords? It's way more affordable to just pay a PR firm, or a SEO company to publish an advertorial on a news site. And no, not all companies that sell SEO are spammers. Grow up, please.

Some of you guys need to get your heads out of your butts and realize how the real world works. It's not just black and white all the time.

Bing on windows does the exact same thing. M$ and Google have roughly equivalent resources and audience reach to push their product. Google still comes out on top because via both reputation and average use case it's quality is better than bings.

This is not likely to change unless OpenAI finds a way break the monopoly. It's the only currently existing search that can claim to be better than Google. Which is why Google is pushing Gemini so hard.

That's a problem in and of itself I think. We need to shift attitudes more towards repair, and as part of that we need skilled tradespeople who can repair stuff.
This is about the tube so none of what you've written here is relevent.

There are of course no "scanners for e-tickets" on the tube and there's no world where buying a physical ticket for a tube journey is faster than using contactless at the gate.

How to configure a custom Test Container on the EventStoreDB example
Are there reasons to believe this is what actually happens? Did anyone document this?
IIRC, all these hardware exist. Software is not 100 % fine for them. The point is to have OS and password manager trust each other. Once this is done then all should work. That should allow for the browser to query the password manager for appropriate info. At the moment, password manager is poorly integrated onto OS.
They used one of these 50 mm diameter blades:

https://www.labunlimited.com/s/ALL/4AJ-9197006/IKA-R-1342-Pr...

Turning at 1000 RPM in a 55 mm diameter 250 mL beaker.

Silicone oils, liquid polyesters, and treated vegetable oil were examined.

None of their test oils were hydrocarbons. They were trying to form stable aqueous emulsions without using any additives, but some glycerol was involved. Not to mention Nile Red.

Meanwhile in the oil business, insane amounts of effort have been made for generations to try and break up these exact kind of emulsions. By using the smallest amount of additives and processing as possible.

This property of matter has been extensively studied from an entirely different "angle".

Now with samples of major cargoes of crude oil in the analytical laboratory, one of these smaller diameter blades is used in order to fit inside the neck of the official sample bottle:

https://www.multilab.ro/foto/ika/eurostar_60_digital.webp

All the water in the referee sample needs to be thoroughly mixed with the oil before you can withdraw a representative portion to certify the water content of the entire parcel.

Different oils have always been recognized as forming emulsions which separate at rates having wildly different orders of magnitude.

In the research area it was interesting to pursue the state-of-the-art in emulsion viscosity measurement decades ago, can't find a picture of a Ruska Viscometer but it wasn't good enough anyway, we had to design something completely different in addition. That was an expensive lab to build.

With crude oil in particular, you haven't seen nothing until you get a mercury-in-oil emulsion. Behaves like sand.

Arguably indeed. Depends what is considered the service in this case. I would argue that the service is “using the public transport “, and it is not “using machine for buying paper tickets”.
Yeah looks like it, says you'd need to upgrade to their Business plan to specify Custom Nameservers. But haven't needed to as it still lets me have non-proxied DNS A/CNAME/MX entries to elsewhere.
Sorry; it's hard to socially engineer discourse that intensely, kommissar. :p
In this situation it's not "google providing the site owner with value."

It's the site owner providing Google with value (that they want Google to pay for).

It's not incumbent for companies to interact with every person who thinks they _should_ be a supplier to said company. I get people cold calling me every day wanting to be my supplier. I absolutely ignore most of that.

In this case Google's algorithm did not ignore the potential supplier. It evaluated the site and sent a reply saying basically "thanks, but no thanks".

Now, I understand your gripe - an algorithm did this, not a human. But this has been the Google way since long before they were a fifth of this size. So it's not like a competitor changes Google's way of doing business.

And Google's way is not a secret. If you don't like it, then don't have a business relationship with them (as a supplier or customer.)
This is magnificent reverse engineering. I wonder why retrocomputing is so fascinating? Is it an attempt (by older people) to rediscover their youth, or is it a search for a golden age of computing where people still had some autonomy over their hardware? Or something else?
Threads discussing this untalented biased hack are such a pity. This dude will dangle the reddest meat he can gin up, then the comments go wild taking his trash at face value.

I really wish there were a better way to warn people off about submissions. Anything you see from Haidt or r3ason or quil3tte a dozen others is probably garbage and certainly heavily spun. Hate to see it. Wish we had some signals to warn each other.
I saw a white and red orb slowly rotating high in the sky above me in broad daylight. I was convinced I was looking at a UFO, right up until I faintly made out the "Virgin" logo on what was likely a hot air balloon seen at a 180 degree angle
I've been very happy with Cloudflare
Seconded, while so tedious, we're in the process of moving hundreds (400+) domains from Google Domains (now Squarespace) to Cloudflare Registrar. We're seeing similar oddities with redirects for domain protection.
Don't know if archiving it was necessary.

On my side: all the content is available & no pop-ups.
Porkbun is great. Never had an issue with them. Often one of the cheapest options, too.
How would the search division make money? Serious question.
I really think something like Ghidra/SLEIGH and a formal specification of the p-code could help; but, only if the following things happened:

1. A p-code parser front end in C existed;

2. An alternate XML/JSON version of SLEIGH; and,

3. A way to integrate the above to document (book) generation.

For the latter I'd prefer HTML. I've found the SLEIGH spec, itself, heavy enough going that I can't tell if it supports full constraint specifications, or not.
I'm not sure where this idea came from, because Biden seems relatively sharp to me. Not a genius, not a rhetorical master, but relatively sharp. He does have a stutter though, and you can see he occasionally stumbles on a word before rewording the sentence he's trying to say.
There’s currently so many words about AI everyday that I just don’t care any more. There’s a very obvious trend taking place with AI that the fanboys are willfully ignoring while contributing to it at the same time while those not drinking of the AI kool-aid sit back and watch history repeat itself.

So when things not related to AI are posted, it stands out and gains traction.

This reminds of "Bidding Rank" from Baidu decades ago (and I think it pretty much still applies for Baidu) - Google was not only better technologically, but ethically because their search results were not that profit driven as "Bidding Rank" which was (and still is) very much despised. Now it seems Google only cares about profit and started to do things more or less the same way.

Sick.

Disclosure - I was so pissed by the degration of quality (an money-thirstiness) of the search results from Google that I switched to a non-profit search engine as my default for both desktop and mobile. The daily search experience doesn't have much noticible change to me. I do admit sometimes the Google search result could be better sometimes, but those occasions are quite rare for my needs, like maybe once a week.
BTW, kudos for presenting your point of view in a hostile forum and holding your own. I should have said that up front.

Yeah, rDNS is a hard requirement for IPv6. I believe you should get a hard reject for missing that with a pointer to the documentation.
Keeping it open any longer than it is, is going to cause liquidity issues. We already have an aftermarket anyways.
Cloud Atlas (released 6 years after Moonfall was released as a book) also has a story with the earth being destroyed by mans attempt to harness the moon for energy (and also has a bad film adoption).

Moonfall is the first book I know of that used the concept, but it seems like humans have been fascinated with man or god(s) manipulating the moon for a very very long time, the oldest case I can think of is from the Quran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_of_the_Moon), so we've been fixated on the idea for a long time.

Maybe there are more cases and I will read about them in the comments here.
All the risks of basing your income on a single supplier are true.

But that's not the real complaint here. The real complaint is that Google did not consider the original site to be "ad supplier worthy".

As you say, there are other advertising players - but if none of them see value (in the original site) then maybe that's telling us something?
And you? Why do you ramble nothingness?
Well worth AskHN IMHO as it's a worthy discussion.

I enjoy variance. I do get light hayfever, occassionally. But I let the windows open. Let the seasons happen. Enjoy the rain when it rains, and the sun, and the snow. Differences every day stimulate.
> They have been trained on more information than a human being can hope to even see in a lifetime. Assuming a human can read 300 words a min and 8 hours of reading time a day, they would read over a 30,000 to 50,000 books in their lifetime. Most people would manage perhaps a meagre subset of that, at best 1% of it. That’s at best 1 GB of data.

This just isn't true. Human training is multimodal to a degree far beyond even the most capable multimodal model, so human babies arguably see more data by a young age than all models collectively have seen.

Not to mention that human babies don't even start as a blank slate as LLMs do, billions of years of evolution have formed the base model described by our DNA.
Misunderstanding the Fertility Crisis

I couldn’t help but notice that the circuit layout looks like a uniform gate array rather something resembling a custom layout you usually see in die photos.
And how exactly do you think ads get served?
We do, and they are pretty cool but incredible limited.

For one, you have to limit yourself to vscode and/or other IDEs with this capability - which ought to be a dealbreaker right there.

But then you still have issues around syncing permissions and paths inside+outside the environment. And that all your other windows have a different view into your project.

That alone is another dealbreaker (which you can bandaid, but...).

And then if you need access to USB devices, well for one I hope you are running linux but even then that is a frigging nightmare. And there is some headache balancing everything above with admin rights etc.

Yes in theory it is perfect. In practice we are not nearly there and you quickly realize the effort to do this well is orders of magnitude more work than just running native.

I still always have a container for continuous integration in a way that you can run it easily on your workstation and can be turned into a devcontainer and/or built manually for small fixes in an old project you haven't used in a long long time. Which is great!

But for your main development? I really tried but it is a nightmare in disguise.
Beall's List – Of Potential Predatory Journals and Publishers
You’re ignoring the part about numbers of visitors and the lack of actual numbers. While the author may feel they are decent, Googs may think they are not.
For those who think this is overly paranoid: a few years ago, my partner had been in the US for years on an active visa and we had just taken a quick weekend trip out of the country. On return to the US, we went through different lines. I breezed through customs.

She was held up by CBP, detained in a holding cell for hours. She was not allowed to contact me - or anyone - during this time. They took her phone, scanned it with their software and found a conversation in a messaging app from several years ago where she had joked with a family member about crazy ways you could technically get a green card. They interpreted this as malicious intent, rejected her entry, and physically destroyed her visa paperwork and work authorization cards.

After about 6 hours, a CBP officer called me to tell me they were denying her entry and would allow me to pick which flight she left the country on as long as it left within 24 hours. I bought her a light that left in about 8 hours. I went home and cried.

2 hours before the flight was supposed to leave, I got a call from her. There was a shift change for the CBP workers and the incoming supervisor didn’t agree with what the previous shift had done. He let her into the country, with no paperwork other than a letter that stated her visa documents were “accidentally destroyed” and he recommended she leave the country permanently.

Customs and Border Patrol are no joke. That can and will ruin your life on a complete whim. In her case it all started with a random screening which led them to searching her phone for any reason they could to reject her. The only reason she didn’t leave the county is I happened to pick an outgoing flight late enough that the next shift decided to review the previous shift’s decision.

Agreed in all counts. They change product strategy so fast it seems like 1/2 of all links in their docs are 404s or go to something that is now deprecated.

I use grafana and Loki because those are stable. Use vector for log source and process and Prometheus for metrics and it’s much simpler!
Sure, a calculator. But this isn't really a general purpose calculator. It's a simple question/answer of "number of votes in this district". How long honestly are you going to spend on a site like that? It sounds to me like a very long-tail question. (Admittedly, I've never even felt the urge to ask the question much less search for a web site to answer it.)
I also went to Porkbun (and recommend it, they're great), though in migrating ~30 domains, I must have found 10 different ways to accidentally cause outages:

- Not turning off DNSSEC before migrating

- Moving the domain with no prep work (Google Domains nameservers stop resolving as soon as the migration is complete)

- Starting the migration without updating nameservers (starting a transfer locks them on Google Domains)

These are all of course 100% my fault (and I should have read the "External Domains" docs better), but it was surprisingly tricky to get right.

I know it is quite common, but I always found it strange that The (Free) Market™—where stocks are traded—was itself a commercial entity and traded on the same exchange(s) that it ran.

That was my original interpretation, and while all it sees are tokens, roughly none of its training data is metadata about tokenizing. It knows far less about the positions of tokens in words than it does about the positions of letters in words.
That’s not the reason email has re-centralized. It’s because big-tech companies provide it for free in order to bind users to their services, and at least in the case of Google, also to collect data and drive ads.

As someone who administrates their own email server and works at an SMB who administrates their own email servers, it works quite well and doesn’t require centralization.

Steve Jobs explains the difference between a great idea and a great product [video]
my fav real world engineering story is of the first commercial ISP in Hungary

back then running leased lines would've been way too expensive. So what did the kids running the show did? They got wind of a central office in an older part of Budapest have excess capacity so they rented an apartment in the next building and drilled the wall :D no expensive trenching, no expensive equipment to demultiplex landlines, nothing, just a bunch of wires running straight from the CO equipment into retail modems... We had no idea what we were doing, mind you. I was already doing Linux at the time so among the few installers I was the lucky guy who got to install the Internet at a small business who wanted it to be done on a Solaris workstation. That was a fun challenge... Other installs were Trumpet Winsock. The ISP itself ran a custom linux app, you dialed in and landed on a text app or maybe it was Lynx? can't quite remember, it's been 30 years...

Decentralized communications may work, but decentralized internet search is probably always going to be impractical.

The actual logic involved in search is itself pretty simple and almost trivial to shard, the problem is dealing with a mutable dataset that is of the order of a hundred terabytes.

Search gets enormous benefits from data locality, such that distributed approaches are all significantly more expensive.
