Idk, they have pushed hydrogen for long time and recently want to go into anhydrous ammonia or something even more brillianter.
Ads and search are the two businesses that most directly collude and which could both survive and thrive independently.

If the search business worked with other ad networks to maximize their revenue, while the ad business worked with other search engines, we’d likely see higher quality search results, less confusion about what’s an ad versus a result, and better as rates for buyers.

That said I don’t support that remedy at all. Maybe ten or fifteen years ago, but now it’s too late and the market is evolving around Google. IMO a consent decree that they won’t pay anyone for exclusive search placement is sufficient.
not really, his website was based on hong kong, this is a fight against america playing world police, which i'm on board with

they have no business going after just a single man so fervently, he's a foreign national and the websites weren't based in the US
>Ma Bell didn’t have the power to cut off advertising revenue to YouTubers who say things the company does like

They don't even ban you (it's very hard to get banned on youtube) and it's the advertisers themselves who decide this.

>nor did they scan people’s communications
They don't scan emails and never have.

And you could move to an alternative browser/search/youtube (if someone could host one profitably) by the end of the day.
They have their niche. The competition in EV is strong from China and Tesla. They’ll need heavy government subsidies to break into that market. But they can be the reliable low cost ICE producer and outcompete everyone else. In fact they’ll have less competition when demand gets lower for ICE.
Fortunately I'm using iced which is an implementation of The Elm Architecture so undo/redo is just a matter of keeping track of which messages were sent and reversing them as needed.
State typing is there to enforce rules at build time. This can be an amazing thing to put on a problem where valid states aren’t obvious. Maybe I’m alone but I like stuff that enforces rules at compile time.

What I don’t like is getting phone calls in the middle of vacations or weekends. I like to optimize for that.
Have read the first few chapters and it expects that you either read the accompanying source code or implement your own and pass the tests. The pseudo code presented in the book often look like function calls with the inner details not there in the book. Furthermore, as already pointed out in another comment, the available implementation is in OCaml, which is probably not something many C programmers have experience with.

Nevertheless, I think I'm learning more from this book than most other books I've tried before that are far more theoretical or abstract. I'm still eager to reach the chapter on implementing C types. I think it's a good book, but it requires more effort than something like Crafting Interpreters or Writing a Compiler/Interpreter in Go, while also covering topics not in those books.
It does, but they're useless for anything that isn't already a Google search away. They can't help with actual account/service issues, and don't seem to have a way to escalate to the right teams that can.
Suppose your fancy new robot is wildly successful and can let me examine 2-3 orders of magnitude more sequences - that's still an infinitesimal fraction of all possible proteins with the same function, and now my DNA synthesis and sequencing costs are also 2-3 orders of magnitude higher - that's really non-trivial, and given that your company isn't selling a lot of these robots (who even needs this scale?), they aren't going to be cheap either.

How do I justify spending all this money? I need some theory of why this search is going to give me anything other than incremental improvements in activity or whatever metric I care about, but rational design can only take me so far. Generative models aren't going to give me a step change in activity. Why am I confident that the set of proteins I'm testing have megabucks of potential?

So sure, limitations in automation are an obstacle to bigger scale, but we often can't use the scale that's already achievable. There's certainly room for improvement in the automation space, but unlocking scale is not the only problem you need to solve.
what a bad stretch. You have no intellectual honesty. Kim has also said Trump things on twitter and we've spent literal billions on fake Russia-Trump in the last few years. And here is someone baselessly pushing Kim-Russia. Anyways, good luck on your weird mission to police any mentioning of Trump. Pretty dumb IMO

YouTube TV was equal parts awesome and horrifying for the Olympics. It had plenty of great content, including a solid amount of 4k

It also had the worst search UX I have ever experienced.

Most importantly, recording an event did not guarantee you got the whole thing! There were numerous events I was watching from my ‘library’ that did not include the final 10-30 min of action. WTH? Did you really record based on time stamps alone? What year is this?!

Great question. I manually review the T&C, word for word. However, I did think to plop it into ChatGPT this time around as well, mostly out of curiosity, to see if it came to the same conclusion:

> here are the rules for a video contest. are there any gotchas or clauses that could give me the slight edge in winning if i were to submit one or more videos? what do i need to know? [entire ruleset]

The response was accurate but generic. Maybe with some stronger prompting (ie. "what's the number one thing I should prioritize?") it'd be more helpful, but for now, I'd still rather review manually.

What you really want is somewhere between corn starch and lubricants, like gold bond friction stick.
You should also add GCHQ, MI5 and MI6 who all use AWS to host top secret material (https://archive.md/n2cNB).

These are the equivalent of white collar crimes (typical massive frauds from the finance sector, etc) but they are getting a blue collar punishment of decades in jail that a successful and persistent street drug dealer could receive, NOT the few years in comfort camp prison that white collar frauds usually get.

This is the clear-headed take. As a point of clarification, I don't believe Dotcom has anything to do with Mega anymore, and the service Mega has gone legit and provides quite a nice a service similar to Tresorit -- end-to-end encrypted cloud storage.
This is misunderstanding basic elements of marketing. Early microwaves were a failure because they were huge and expensive machines promoted for institutional use. It was only after much study that smaller, cheaper, and easier to use models were offered which resulted in an explosion of demand. Marketing is what enables understanding not only of customer needs, but also their desires and the language they use and so on.
They're the same as in there the good takeaways could be written in an article.

> The other was Apple, having that default option.

What UI are you imagining? Perhaps no search engine at all in the browser but the first time a user goes to "search" you present them with a list of random-sorted search engines?

Maybe the problem was that Apple has "that default option for sale."

Effectively trading the last of our sovereignty for overkill submarines

The threat of China exists yes but I think the French subs we had lined up would have been adequate

Especially as the US will likely send their nuclear subs our way when/if Sino-American tensions escalate again

> A small plugin hybrid doesn't make sense.

On the contrary, a small plugin hybrid makes perfect sense. You get all the benefits of the EV (somewhere between 40 to 60 miles of non-gasoline driving, every night, with no emissions) and you get all the benefits of an ICE (easy road trips, two-minute refills, etc). And yes, it incurs the costs and maintenance of both, but traditional hybrid cars have already proved for decades now that it's possible to handle that well.

I love my Gen 2 Chevy Volt (had the Gen1 Volt before that, and a 2009 Toyota Yaris before that). If my Gen2 Volt died, I legitimately don't know what I'd do, most cars are a huge downgrade, there's only a few decent PHEV's still on the market.

Toyota should have been pursuing this strategy from the beginning, and I'm told their current Prius PHEV is pretty good, but all that means is that it's finally competitive with 2013-era Chevrolet. Chevy killing Voltec is probably their biggest strategic failure in the past decade -- they stopped it just a few years before those vehicles became popular.
The "growth plate injury" myth needs to die - it's still very much alive and kicking in some circles.

No need to break up Google because of their search dominance.

Search is about to get disrupted by LLMs. Heck, aren't teens searching on Tiktok more than Google nowadays?

This is just work! You made eight commercials for a megacorporation for $300 a piece, right? Sounds like you are undercharging!

I did a contest once and won $2500. In the end the part I spent 2 weeks on made like $50, and the part I spent 30 minutes on right before the deadline made $2000. Not sure what lesson to take from that...

It was way more work than expected, especially because they had us do a peer review that took like 80% of the actual time. So in the end I probably made close to minimum wage and most of it was not fun. But the novelty at least made it sorta-worth it.
US expects billions in savings from first Medicare drug price cuts
yacc/bison was used for lex, bc, pcc, gcc, original awk, the bsd pascal compiler, eqn, m4 (!), and many other languages. it's still used for pcc, oawk, mawk, pari/gp, and units. that's just what i have sitting around in my downloads directory

and, while we're talking about ocaml, ocaml does use ocamllex and ocamlyacc for its own parser

so, while you can certainly do without parser generators, they have very commonly been used for making real-world programming languages. almost every programming language anyone here has ever heard of was first implemented with a parser generator. the main exceptions are probably fortran, cobol, algol, lisps, c, and pascal
I hardly use Google, and I use the internet.

DDG/Kagi/ChatGPT/Reddit/HN/etc for searching. Fastmail/myriad order email providers. Openstreetmap/Apple for maps.

YouTube and Chrome Remote Desktop are what I use Google for, but those have alternatives too.
Ma Bell had the power to make it so you couldn't talk on a wire, at all. They owned all the wires. They owned all the phones.

But sure, being de-monetized on a website, that's way worse.

And yes, Ma Bell had the ability to listen in to every conversation had on a wire. Not just some, all. Meanwhile most conversations I have on the internet don't involve Google in the slightest.

CockroachDB gets startup friendly license
Seems like awesome news for startups desiring a database which horizontally scales writes.

The old licensing model was pretty brutal if you required any enterprise features.

New license looks promising!

* Postgres: Citus, YugabyteDB, YDB, Neon

* SQLite: mvsqlite, marmot

* Document: ScyllaDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB

Email signups can be meaningful if the product doesn't cost the user much (e.g. ad-supported web or app), but for paid products, getting a commitment to buy something is more real. Even then, something can have a very successful Kickstarter (for example), but then the product itself is disappointing or fails in some way when it actually ships to the customers, and it never sells more than the initial batch.
They’re still redundant though

Rocketdyne developed the F-1 and the E-1 to meet a 1955 U.S. Air Force requirement for a very large rocket engine. . . . The Air Force eventually halted development of the F-1 because of a lack of requirement for such a large engine. [0]

The fifties were such a crazy time where the USAF would commission wild things which in development were superseded or mooted by other developments, leaving the commissioned object as a cast-off vision of a future that didn't happen. Maybe the high point of this was the XB-70 Valkyrie. [1]

Today is the first day that I put two and two together on North American Aviation making both the XB-70 and the B-1: To take maximum advantage of [compression lift], they redesigned the underside of the aircraft to feature a large triangular intake area far forward of the engines, better positioning the shock in relation to the wing.

To bring things full circle, in 1955 NAA spun off its rocket division, which became Rocketdyne, the maker of the F-1 among other engineering marvels.

You don't even have to host it yourself. It runs in browser.

You can also download it and run it as a file I think.

My only complaint is that with my limited knowledge of JavaScript, the docs lack the info I need to contribute my own tools.

For example, I find myself needing a substring tool but there isn't one :(

The way monopoly law works in the US, it's not illegal to have a monopoly. It's illegal to try to leverage your monopoly to acquire a monopoly on a different line of business. For example, it was found to be illegal for Microsoft to use the Windows monopoly to try to acquire a monopoly on web browsers.

This is kind of going the other way. Google had a monopoly on search (arguably - Bing would like a word). All these other actions are to keep that from being eroded. They didn't do Chrome because they wanted to own the browser market, they did Chrome because they wanted browsers to not be owned by somebody else who could make the default search engine be not-Google. That's entering other businesses to protect your main one. IANAL, but that may not be against antitrust law. It's at least not the main thrust of antitrust law.
You’ll add lots more charge cycles to the small hybrid battery. A 30 mile commute is only 15% of a 200mile battery but would be 100% of some PHEVs. If an LFP battery gets 2,000 cycles lifetime then that’s 400,000 miles vs 60,000.

You’ll also have more things to service when you still have an ICE so it’s not all upsides.

More fast chargers is the way to go. I’d love to see the car manufacturers working together to roll out super chargers everywhere.
transaction processing by gray (rip) and reuter was pretty close back in the 90s. i don't think it covered query optimization because it's really about tp monitors rather than databases, but, perhaps surprisingly, it does cover the other topics you're asking about
What really gets me is that SpaceX's Raptor engines have fuel pump power in that same neighborhood, and there are 33 of them on a Starship.
Keep in mind that without the Ad business, most of Google's products cannot exist. Search gets paid by Ads, same with YouTube. Most of the free product are just Ad delivery platforms, and they are all pretty much on the verge of losing money as-is. The Ad business itself has margin enough to cover that, and without a set of outlets like those services, it wouldn't be able to exist.

Vimeo has tried a different approach, but it's hardly in the same league as YouTube.
I used Axum for the websocket server, MySQL for the database, and the glicko2 crate for elo management. Those are the only 3 that come to mind, I didn't use any libraries/engines for the game itself.
That calendar adjustment is interesting. The Julian calendar drifts from the true tropical calendar by 0.00781 days per year or about 1 day every 128 years. The adjustment was 11 days, meaning that 11*128=1408 years had elapsed since the Julian started in 45 BC. Making the year of the reform 1363 AD, not 1752. The council of Nicea is mentioned, but they only noted the calendar problem, they did not try to fix it. If that's the case then we are actually living in the 17th century, around 1677.
That would be an amazing addition!

Well, this website is completely cloneable, the JS is non-minified, so adding in community lists is certainly possible. Maybe just a tool to create those lists collaboratively. Good idea!

Ask HN: Global non-HTTP CDN provider
Can anyone recommend a service that:

1. Has great worldwide premium networking ( no Comcast! )

and either:

2. allows me to run a VPS at their edge locations

or

3. provides a service that allows me to connect back to our own DC via the proxy protocol

Context: tried a number of vps providers: vultr, linode, etc where I run haproxy but their infrastructure is flaky, there's no SLA. I need to proxy non-http traffic.

I checked out HAProxy Edge but their own network isn't very quick from the locations I'm interested in ( mainly Asia -> NA ).

I also checked out Fly.io but saw 5 errors in 5 minutes from trying to deploy an app/machine so I backed out.
thank you i will update it
Google toolbar came first. Slipped in a Google search box on everyone's browser in exchange for blocking Google's competitors' popup ads (Google didn't use popup ads).

Now Google does invasive popovers within the page, etc., and this time with them in charge of the browser they are ahout to implement a plan to block extension makers from stopping it well.
