How might one practically ban SEO? The moment a search engine uses information on a web page to determine relevance, the operator of the website can modify its presentation to bump up its rankings. There's plenty of room even within the strictest possible bounds of "being honest", and being the first result on the biggest search engine is valuable enough that you'll still get an underground SEO industry, legal or not.

Also, search providers know that users will get mad if they can't access popular websites, so there's no way they'll cut those websites off at a whim just for "accidental gaming", not unless they're compelled from above. And then you have the usual issues with corruptible officials deciding which companies are good and which are verboten.

Same conclusion here. May I ask about your stack/domain?
Yes, and it's on purpose. It has a very simple design and lacks basic information like privacy policy. So it works :)
That's correct, it's DoS!
I wouldn’t make that last assumption
Stripe itself, is an abstraction layer onto of payment network and banking APIs.

What's the barrier to entry for starting up a similar business?
Yes, of course. You're taking what I've written out of context.
Wow, that's a lot of jargon. Despite playing Genshin Impact a fair bit (my niece is into it), I didn't understand most of terms in this article. It's odd that they felt like they had to define "enshittification" which is everywhere and not terms like "dolphin" and "i-frames" which I had never heard of before.

Totally and this is the problem with startup founders of today. Their minds are filled with liquidity and an exit event. Steve Jobs had famously said how pathetic that is. And Zuckerberg, love or hate him, turned down billion dollars.

Selling your startup is not a good plan. Make it big, change the world, and swim in money.
I think it’s easy in the sense that it was only a single day attack of probably not more than a few people. What would happen if 50 foreign agents would do this every day over the course of months or years?
If you want to argue something is a religion, you need to define “religion”. Often it is defined vaguely enough that anything can be called a religion. But if the word can be applied to everything it is meningless.
I have no idea about Mihoyo (never even looked in their direction, save for looking up what it is), but gacha != F2P.

Valve, even though their games have lootboxes, they got it [mostly] right by trying their best to make sure there's no "pay to win" (save for accidental cosmetics' bugs, which are half of the time are "pay to lose" and either way are typically fixed promptly) and all game mechanics are equally accessible to everyone from minute zero, with lootboxes being purely cosmetic.
Any suggestions? I've been a mobile player for the longest so never (could) use i-frames/animation cancelling etc. Do you have any suggestions on what to do or learn from? TIA!
> Building a competitive search engine [..] requires VC investment.

> VC investment requires a vibrant startup ecosystem, well crafted regulations and a risk-tolerant culture.

Yandex, Baidu, and many other lesser-known local-only search engines exist. There's also nothing stopping an already existing technology company from entering search. The statement is incorrect.

Meanwhile common sense tells us that obviously there's going to be investment into domestic search engines if Google voluntarily throws in the towel. Europe is a huge place and there's a lot of money to be made, even if it's merely with context-based advertising and no individual tracking.

> Building a competitive [..] AI model requires VC investment [..] and a risk-tolerant culture.

Training a large model anyways, since nobody has really figured out how to recoup that investment yet. Why are you trying to derail this from talking about search though?

It does make sense if and if the following apply: (a) you have touched the brand and trust it over other offerings (b) are tech-literate but semi-technical or non-technical or simply don’t want to do anything more than a couple of clicks implementation (c) you are early enough in your journey that sales and revenue matter more than cost of revenue (d) any of the above originally but you solved those problems and now intertia/tech debt somewhere more urgent.

That’s a huge number of aspirational digital product vendors.

5 + 50 vs stripe’s lower direct take (for me 1.5 + 20). I just did a quick calculation on a really basic/modest digital product business. Sell something at €25 and sell €50k - 2000 customers. That’s going to be €7k with LSqz over a year, and with Stripe it’s going to be €1.15k

The difference is €16 a day.

The business makes you €137 a day.

If you spend a day each month sorting out admin and taxes because of stripe direct plus a few days paying a developer (you’re non-technical remember!) then that could easily be a cost of €5500 a year. Total cost including card processing is €6150 and it’s only €850 less than LemonSqueezy.

Why would you move?

And in particular why would you move sooner than 3 years if you are predicting similar revenue each year.

Yes, those two are still stuck on the ISS.

Seems like OP is talking about the political views of tech oligarchs, not the rank and file in tech. Either way, it's a transparently delusional justification for tech moguls putting profits over people, then hypocritically pretending it's a noble pursuit of innovation. Choosing to back Trump reveals their willingness to ignore his harmful policies and unethical and illegal behavior as long as it suits their bottom line. Surprising no one.

Mostly correct, but I don't understand what the author is trying to do in the last section, where they try to fill the locus by generating spectra with two peaks and projecting it into the chromaticity diagram. Why do it like that?

This is how you should do it:

- You pick a Y value. This is going to be the luminance of your diagram.

- For each pixel inside the area bounded by the spectral locus (and the line of purples - the line connecting the two endpoints of the locus) you take its x, y coordinates.

- Together these 3 values specify your color in the CIE xyY color space. Converting from xyY to XYZ is trivial: X = Y / y * x, Y = Y, Z = Y / y * (1 - x - y)

- You map these XYZ values into your output image's color space (e.g. sRGB). If a given XYZ value maps outside the [0,1] interval in sRGB, then it's outside the sRGB gamut, and you may clip the values to the closest valid value inside the gamut.
> Because it's the only logical conclusion and multiple Russians have already been arrested in France for plotting to disrupt the Olympics

In Belgium they arrested seven muslim terrorists who were planning a terror attack during the Olympics, they were from Chechnya (so, technically, russian but it sounded like the usual islamic terror attacks that was planned and not some "russia vs the west" thing).

It is in the TFA. A few statistical researchers built a model with a mean tipping point of 2057. This made many people angry. Science is playing out and people are refuting with their own papers, and they’re incorporating that feedback in their next paper, etc.

Nah, not really. The EU will have a thriving tech market. It just won't have ad-supported sites. Because if anyone hasn't noticed, "data privacy" is just targeted ads.

"This company was caught tracking which users visited each page" Yes, for targeted ads.

"Cambridge Analytica was" Yes, for targeted ads.

"3rd party" Yes, targeted ads.

It's all targeted ads. They want to serve you targeted ads. Any attempt to paint "data privacy" as something other than this is irresponsible fearmongering.
My aim is to use dependency injection to inject the minimal dependency and nothing more. Versus the grab bag every interface in a medium-complexity C# project eventually devolves into.

I've had this on my blogpost-to-write backlog for a year at this point but in every project I've worked on an interface eventually becomes a holding zone for related but disparate concepts. And so injecting the whole interface it becomes unclear what the dependency actually is.

E.g. you have some service that does data access for users, then someone adds some Salesforce stuff, or a notification call or whatever. Now any class consuming that service could be doing a bunch of different things.

The idea is basically single method interfaces without the overhead of writing the interface. Just being able to pass around free functions but with the superior DevX most C# tools offer.

I guess I want a more functional C# without having to learn F# which I've tried a few times and bounced off.

Someone who only really decided to shoot Trump like the week of the rally, and didn't have to do anything that a normal american doesn't do in order to obtain a rifle, a bunch of ammo, an aerial view of the location, and practice time firing said gun.

A reminder that if you want to live in a country where it is normal to buy a brand new assault rifle, 200 rounds of ammo, and go shoot it all in the same weekend, you CANNOT preemptively stop a mass shooter or wannabee assassin. Nothing he did should put up red flags in a private gun ownership country.
I think it’s a neat idea and shows a very solid understanding of many different concepts. I also have a lot of this kind of knowledge, but fuck me if I would have been able to put all the pieces together like this without a specific need/driver.

Very neat, thanks for sharing.

A (deep) NN is just a really complicated data model, the way one treats the estimation of its parameters and prediction of new data determines whether one is a Bayesian or a frequentist. The Bayesian assigns a distribution to the parameters and then conditions on the data to obtain a posterior distribution based on which a posterior predictive distribution is obtained for new data, while the frequentist treats parameters as fixed quantities and estimates them from the likelihood alone, e.g., with maximum likelihood (potentially using some hacks such as regularization, which themselves can be given a Bayesian interpretation).

HDR is whatever marketing wants it to be.

Originally it's just about being able to show both really dark and really bright colors. Something that's really easy if each pixel is an individual LED, but that's very hard in LCD monitors with one big backlight and pixels are just dimmable filters for that backlight. Or alternatively on the sensor side the ability to capture really bright and really dark spots in the same shot, something our sensors are much worse at than our eyes, but you can pull some tricks.

Once you have that ability you notice that 8 bits of brightness information isn't that much. So you go with 10 bit or 16 bits. Your gamma settings also play a role (the thing that turns your linear color values into exponential values).

And of course the people who care about HDR have a big overlap with people who care about colors, so that's where your color spaces, certifying and calibrating monitors to match those color spaces etc comes in. It's really adjacent but often just rolled in for convenience.
> In the old days it wasn’t like that. At that time the audiences were hostile to what we did. They gave us a bad time. Now, historically, musicians have felt real hurt if the audience expressed displeasure with their performance. They apologized and tried to make the people love them. We didn’t do that. We told the audience to get fucked.

There are many more snarky comments which Zappa directed at his audience, and any audience in general, and likely the humankind as a whole. I think this is the reason he created technically brilliant and invariably ironic pieces: he did not think that a worthy audience exists, maybe except his orchestra and a few other musicians.
I've been sorting out what mosfets are suitable for linear use since I've heard rumors that modern ones are less capable in that regard, and I found this article to be a good resource on the issue.
Frankly I'm not very convinced by that -- it seems that most social networks are already killed by winner-takes-all SV companies buying-out any possible threat.

The situation in America is an absolute nightmare with data being sold through all sorts of mechanisms with zero oversight (your ISP, your car, most apps on your phone, whoever does your credit scores) -- I'm sure there's some way to make successful tech that isn't the hellscape America has.
Just spitballing: could you change the database to a bool array? Guard it with a RWMutex and persist on server shutdown. The bottleneck probably moves to pushing updates from a single server, but Go can probably handle a few tens of thousands of goroutines.

A resistor is not "analog circuitry"

> the resistor is its own temperature sensor

No, the clasp that holds the spring down is a bi-metallic strip that bends when it reaches a temperature. This is not "analog" because there is nothing for it to represent.

The article is merely a case of calling something old "analog" without knowing what the word means.

I’d like to note that there are a lot of cheap, reliable providers that support BSD, either with KVM templates already, installation with an available ISO, or many have custom ISO where you can upload or give the URI to any iso you wish to use. Obviously this will usually be KVM virtualization.

Some providers off the top of my head:

prgmr.com (now tornado vps apparently) - long-standing provider - they used to have netbsd dom0’s but now it’s all Linux based it looks like so appears you have to netinstall netbsd in your vm now)

buyvm.net - reasonable pricing and have bsd available to install (can’t remember if template or iso ready to mount/install)

https://www.netcup.eu/vserver/ - excellent value / been around forever (they offer custom iso)

I will add more here as I think of them..
This is not an essay about whether science "is" a religion, or how "religiony" it is.

The idea with the named delegate would be if you need some way to:

delegate Task<string> GetUserEmail(int userId);

This provides more guidance than taking in a:

Func<int, Task<string>> getUserEmail

If you can annotate implementations of the delegate the tooling support becomes even nicer. Not all Funcs with the same shape have the same semantics, in my ideal C#-like language.

Edit: I completely forgot the main reason which is if using a DI container it can inject the named delegate for you correctly in the constructor. Versus only being able to register a single func shape per container.

This is a pretty confused piece of writing and totally falls apart on myth 4:

> Only the opinion of the experts in a given
field has any bearing on any question in this field.

This has nothing to do with science and is really a point about the division of labor/economics.

The rejection of experts has been a hallmark of scientific and mathematical thinking since ancient times, most famously in Socrates. But the thread continues throughout all of human history.

I like Grothendieck's work a lot, and I know he had unconventional politics. But this reads like one of the many Marx-influenced attempts from that period to discredit the idea of truth.
Which regulations are you referring to? Do those not apply just to those that have managed to obtain a dominant role, ie not startups entering the market?
> the attackers had started fires in "conduits carrying multiple (fibre-optic) cables" that relay "safety information for drivers" or control the motors for points that change rails... Farandou of SNCF said: "There's a huge number of bundled cables. We have to repair them one by one, it's a manual operation" requiring "hundreds of workers".

Just wondering: is there a reason why there needs to be a bundle of fiber optic cables to carry safety information and control the rails? Is that not overkill? I assume wireless/cellular networking is not robust enough, but what just standard-ass copper wires, like the telephone lines? I assume the reason is that they're transmitting more than just what was named in the article, but all I know is what I read.
