Good point. The early exploration did make it a lot smaller. I think moving to where people end up adding IRL friends instead of "random strangers with similar interests" (I still think Livejournal had the best way of finding online people and building those relationships as people and not just meme-sharers/reacters to dopamine). I use another age-old online community that's been around since before 2000, and with good moderation and community support, while it's been up and down, generally "keeps the faith" with the users. And that's a pretty good timeline I think 95-2005.
There's the classic strategy of being vauge-but-clear with one's orders ("Can you deal with this?" "Your Honor, I didn't tell him to kill anyone!") but, disregarding that, it doesn't seem in the employee's best interest. Where does the assistant's $200k/year come from after that? What if the blackmail attempt is rebuffed and the now-former assistant becomes a target for their former employer's new assistant?
I generally try: /rss, /feed, /index.xml, /rss.xml, /feed.xml, etc. And at various root or /directory/* locations. https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2021/feed-urls/ is a good article with statistics on naming.

I've been adding to my feeds.opml since reddit started dying in ~2015 and now I'm up to around ~1700 feeds and mostly independent from aggregators; though I still collect new feeds from HN/IRC/etc. Mostly I just always make a point to look for them whenever I read something cool on the web.
> Americans will eventually make themselves hated by everyone

Who's everyone?
> Russia appears to be able to propel politicians who are closer to the their politics

Not really, they propel useful idiots. In the US that would have been Robert Kennedy Jr. In Germany it's whatever clows AfD has, in Austria it's the FPÖ leader Herbert Kickl. Basically anyone that would either auto sabotage that country, the EU, like Viktor Orbán or be pro-Russia, like the Georgian Dream.

In Romania it's a RFK Jr. like nutcake figure with new age, peace and love, vaccines bad, water has memory, nazis are patriots, etc beliefs and with a discourse that sounds all right at the surface but practicaly says absolutely nothing except that it's littered with trigger narratives, just as if it were the Heaven's Gate website. His campaign was pumped by Russia on Tiktok using dormant accounts two weeks or so before the election. Also on other US based social networks and on Telegram to a lesser extent. 2M people voted for him out of 9M, some because they hate the current establishment, others saw him as an outsider, when in fact he's actually part of an old boys network, others actually believe his mumbo jumbo. It turns out he's also linked and promoted by fascist groups, some of which are actual former French Foreign Legion soldiers, run a mercenary group in the DRC and survival training workshops in the mountains. These are also linked to a rather controversial Eastern Orthodox bishop who is known to be pro Russian, so this candidate also got promoted through church networks. His campaign was in part financed by a crypto entreprenour with dual Romanian and South African citizenship who currently resides in ZA. The candidate declared zero political advertising expenses.

Anyway, I hope Tiktok gets massively screwed by the EU after this. Because this is in the Comission's hands now. The candidate's fascist friends might be soon visited by a SWAT team and they'll probably find firearms. The candidate, I dunno, he's probably going to flee to another country if he ever gets indicted.
> this guy reported that he spent nothing on his election campaign, which is impossible as there have been flyers with his face on them, plus ads on social media

Anyone can buy ads and flyers.

If your rejoinder is "It's against the law to buy ads for a candidate if you're not officially part of the campaign" - who cares? Nothing is stopping e.g. me from buying tiktok ads in elections (domestic or foreign).

I agree. It's nice if you have something you can get into flow on.

The biggest issue with 10s is commute time. If you work 10s with an hour+ commute, that's just awful.
Not really. It was posted earlier.
> For example, the more people code, the more likely it is that they pay MSFT. So VS code aims to make programming as attractive as possible

How does that increase revenue in a remotely measurable way?

Chrome, for sure, high market share, default search engine, more money, at least that's how I imagine it.
Well, you could point to the fact that there are alternatives to using "razor and blades". You can buy straight razors and re-sharpen them yourself. You can buy safety razors, which are technically still the "razor and blades model", but aren't based on proprietary designs, and just accept the added inconvenience that comes with.

And yet, still, many people choose to use "razor and blades" products because it's more faster and more convenient and requires less effort and lower buy-in cost than the alternatives.
> If you are going to need to optimise with performance metrics anyway, then why not stick to just the official defaults (unless the official defaults are non-functional, is that the case?)

Well, why don't you do the research and tell us?

In my 10-15 years of dealing with official defaults of many programs is that they do work, but in 90% of cases they are overly-conservative.
No, the deflection is yours. The theme of this thread is that some people don't want to give money to Kagi, because Kagi gives money to Yandex, which is associated with the Russian state and provides support for its war effort in Ukraine.

The desirability of diverse perspectives in search has no bearing whatsoever on that subject.

A non-deflective response would be something like: "I know paying money to Kagi indirectly supports Russia in its war against Ukraine, but I don't give a shit about that. What really matters is that my search results must include Kremlin propaganda alongside what I consider to be US propaganda".

Now, I suspect your response is going to be something along the lines of "But Google is American and America has done lots of bad things too." So to save you some time, I'll respond in advance: That too is a deflection. It is true, but it also irrelevant to the point at hand—many Kagi users do not want their money going to the Russian state.
I agree with you. A law/regulation should be passed to stop this behavior. I also agree that I don't want people murdering CEOs.

But, I also understand why this happened and frankly don't feel to aggrieved by the death of this CEO.

The issue with US politics is that no law is forthcoming to address anything that happened. We won't see silencers banned or gun control laws enacted. We certainly won't see regulations on health industry to stop them from bleeding leukemia patients of every cent they own.

So, I'm apathetic. If some of these CEOs are going to die as a result of their greed and the lack of justice against the wealthy, so be it.
No ads, privacy of searches, and ability to filter junk sites is why I pay. I think the google results can be good but they are drowned out in this noise and constant reminder I’m seeking help from a malevolent agent.
A better policy would be to incentivize any parent to stay home for the first few years. Restricting it to mothers would only reduce the appeal of the policy and result in fewer takers, so why default to a more restrictive approach?
Thank you!

Considering this further... I think Lua might be a good match for this idea. Everything it can do can be pretty easily mapped to SQLite queries and its type system is pretty close to the limited set of types offered by SQLite.
I remember trying to install Visual Studio in the mid-late 2000s (when SSDs make hard drive space small again) to a directory other than C: and found that after following a rather convoluted process you could only actually move maybe 20% of the install files off C:.

This is the reason I find it odd that most of these tools require their own system/DSL for defining the schema and the migrations. Using vanilla SQL DDL for that part gives you more escape hatches. This is possible with e.g. kysely + kysely-codegen.
'easily' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. As an American who maintains multiple friendships all over the political map due to significant nonpolitical shared interests, I've got more perspective on that commotion.

While it's true Trump won with Russia's help both times, it took an extraordinary effort with extraordinary results, patterned after internal Russian political manipulation (so it's not like it was just made up haphazardly). It required attentive siloing of Americans into camps isolated from each others' worldviews and the concealment of what the other camp was seeing. This is not remotely 'easy manipulation', it's lengthy hard work requiring great effort and attention, toward a goal of confusing both sides against each other, and eventually removing the very concept of reality.

Sounds impossible, but it works… at least to the extent of getting results, and tearing apart a country. That's why 'civil war' is constantly invoked by these forces: you can't do anything constructive this way but the goal is to spur internal conflict.

That's why it's relevant that it's foreign interference: the interferer isn't hobbled by a need to survive in the resulting damaged country. They can do whatever they want, because they're doing it to an enemy.
That won't be for another 70+ years since Watterson is still alive and it was created after 1977. I can't imagine there'll be that much demand for C&H merch by then
Searching is very similar to a common approach for building a naïve spellchecker: given an input, generate all the possible matches it can be part of. You're not searching in a corpus, you're using the input to generate indices into the corpus (list of UUIDs here, list of words in the dictionary in a spellchecker).
This varies from airport to airport in my experience. I’ve had precheck for almost a decade by now and have been through several precheck scanner lines where I’ve had to pull out laptops.
The cold war communist boogie man hasn't gone away. Russia is apparently all power and has infinite reach into global elections, but at the same time, getting destroyed on the battlefield and about to lose the Ukraine conflict any moment now.

>In this case that hypothesis is "all other DNA/RNA is junk",

Strawman.

It is not as black and white as you think it is. Some non-coding DNA/RNA is functional. Some is not. Selection/conservation is often used as quick way to tell whether something is functional or not.

Nobody actually in the field of genetics would say "all other DNA/RNA is junk". You'd get laughed out of the room, kind of in the same way if you said "all non-coding DNA is functional because 'epigenetics' ".

How about everyone cease posting about health insurance? To do so is unrelated to the search for a named suspect in a murder.

Once there is a named suspect we MIGHT be able to speculate about motive. The shooter could be a jealous boyfriend for all we know.

The surprise is that the "suspect" remains unnamed (at least in the news) at this hour, given the excellent quality of the surveillance pictures.
I think that undersells IBMs continued technical achievement in the mainframe space. It's a niche business but the folks who need it really need it.

Thanks/YW. Yeah, a lot of those old 90s libertarian/community building/better world idealism hit me right when I was coming of age. I'm a pessimist now, but those early days were inspirational in what could be.
Why is this on the front page? It is nothing special
I'd argue that if you accept that the results were "likely influenced by a likely state-actor campaign" then the means by which they achieved their objective are not above scrutiny. Elections are a mean for obtaining as fair (that is, unbiased) a measure as possible of the "true" will of the people, and yet we're starting from "yes, the sample has been altered maliciously, but...".

There are (outdated, but still) campaign financing laws designed to prevent this exact scenario and which the candidate apparently broke. If the courts throw their hands in the air and say "whelp, what can you do?" they would be setting the precedence that foreign election interference is only wrong when you lose.

Of course, the analysis rests on fair authorities trying to do good which is a high bar to clear. But letting a cheater get away with it in plain sight doesn't seem fair either.
> AFAIK for the first time in a very long time the largest two parties did not win and they started panicking and scrambling to re-do the vote count.

This is what it sounds like. Everyone's talking about "democracy vs Russian interference" but I think it's realpolitik.

The top two candidates who were to compete in the final election were Georgescu (a lunatic) and Lasconi (SRU, a moderate outsider). Lasconi was second only by a small margin to Ciolacu (SPD, current president).

Immediately after the first election, the court (mostly consisting of SPD) ordered (EDIT: one) controversial recount they blocked almost everyone from seeing. Some suspect the plan was to declare a miscount and get Ciolacu into second place. Then the first election would not be rerun and the final election would be Georgescu vs Ciolacu.

Except if it came down to them there's a good chance Georgescu would've won, since people would know SPD corrupted the results. And Georgescu really is a lunatic, so perhaps SPD decided they'd rather have Lasconi then him.

Except now it seems SPD hasn't fully decided this. This election seemingly gives them one more (albeit small) chance, while still ensuring Georgescu won't win (unless he out-votes even someone like Lasconi, but I can only hope not. Georgescu makes Trump look like Abraham Lincoln).
From what I understand, the psychology behind trait theory is still being developed, but the Big Five represents the best model that we currently have. Even for psychologists uncomfortable with rigid personality characterization (for good reasons), the Big Five can still be seen as some of the basic building blocks of human temperament.

Introversion/extroversion is in both, but while in the MBTI it's a binary identity (as this article seems to posit), in the Big Five it's a spectrum that is close to normally distributed.
> Nothing is stopping e.g. me from buying tiktok ads in elections (domestic or foreign).

Yes, and that's a big part of the problem, which is why tiktok is also under fire in this whole situation.
The policies that make schooling and childcare free in Japan are very nice.

You don't need to ask the US team to silence and amplify certain topics when your models do it for you.

If you know this is happening, you tell the US gov it isn't happening, and they find out it is - you're in for a bad time.

Holy shit, my PIN is on there. How the hell did that get that?? I was told it was a 1/10,000 chance of someone guessing it.
> I would guess most will force you to…

They don’t. These days most people are printing pages from their phone and printer companies don’t get deep access to iOS and Android like they do with Linux and Windows.

The printer counts the pages and sends the page count and ink levels to the mother ship and ink just shows up exactly when you need it.

> massive profits

These companies don’t have rivers of cash flowing into them. Selling and supporting printers and ink isn’t a great business. The software and hardware is expensive and hard to make. The ink is the only thing with a good margin on it and people just don’t use all that much of it.

Lots of businesses operate like this so I’m not sure why people are so upset at printer companies. When I buy a game for my PS5, I get about $2 worth of plastic and cardboard and they charge me $60 or more. Obviously it costs money to make the game and they spread that over all the copies. Well, same goes for printers and their consumables.

If you want cheap ink, buy a printer with cheap ink. They are out there and they are great. If you want to spend as little as possible on a printer, that’s out there too. You just pay more down the line for consumables.

I don't think anyone is getting disqualified. The elections will be rerun with the same candidates, because the authorities were unable to do it properly the first time.

If you pay a small amount of money for some political ads, nobody is going to care, because it obviously didn't affect the results substantially. If the amount is large enough, the situation may be different. And then both you and Google may face consequences for illegal election interference.
>> non-coding junk DNA which is under no selection pressure

I'm not a biologist. I imagine DNA that does nothing and is under no selection pressure should have a bunch of random mutation accumulated - the opposite of what you described.
Georgescu's voters don't see themselves as pro-Russian. They think of themselves as "patriots", anti-LGBT, and anti-establishment. They also think that we are helping Ukraine too much, at the expense of domestic issues.

These are the messages that were used on TikTok, an open pro-Russia message would have been buried quickly.

If geopolitics predating the Roman Republic by 500 years justifies kicking people off land they were born in, then I have bad news for almost all of the Americans in the audience. Probably quite a lot of the English too, though with less certainty as nobody's quite sure when even the Celts arrived.
Almost nobody supports string search and comparison API functions for unicode. The unicode security tables for unicode identifiers are hopelessly broken.
