Google has mined that for profit from the beginning. Cutts and Co turned a blind eye here.

It was ALL OK though - because Google’s mission was DONT BE EVIL!

In 2008 Google was besieged by SEO consultants spamming their index.

I also grappled with this issue until I lived in a community that was highly, highly gendered. Children naturally try to mimic the social behaviors around them. If these social behaviors are gendered, they will attempt to gender themselves and view these behaviors through the lens of social expectations of gender. Especially if they are proactively gendered by the adults in their community (i.e. socialized as male or female with explicit expectations), as most communities do.

I don't really have any beef with gender roles, but sometimes the roles communicate simply antisocial behavior. One very easy example of this is the high rate of deadbeat dads in comparison to rates of single dads. And yea, maybe some people just shouldn't be around children, but once you observe how this passes down generations with your own eyes it's very difficult to un-see.

In these situations simply having a healthy adult that does align with gender expectations on some level, but not another level, that's an alternative can equip children to make decisions about their own life and how they want gender to figure into their own self-image and relationship to the community.

What I don't get is that Andrew Tate and Elon Musk are also, erm, not very masculine by the standards of many if not most communities here in america except in the sense of "thinking being an asshole is funny". Neither is Trump, for that matter. Something tells me that there are other factors at play here than just "masculine role models".
2-3 large players and a few smaller ones is a decent amount of competition. Vastly more than a government has.

Oligopols are less competition than ideal, but much better than nothing.

At least one generally well informed source -- Jeremy Berg (former NIGMS Director, former EiC of Science) -- suggests that there was a a DDoS attack against NIH:

However, he doesn't provide further details.
I agree with you. My typical workflow is: update master branch in Visual Studio, create a new branch off of the master, work on it, when ready use GitGUI to commit and push, then do a merge request in GitLab (we use GitLab). When approved, I push the branch to master. From time to time I need to update my branch, either because I make some code changes, or because my branch a few commits behind the master.

Would I like to know more about the underlying ideas of Git. Yes. But the time it would take me to do that is time I can spend on other things, like the stuff I am actually paid to do. If I become a git guru, I might get a pat on the back, but more likely no one would care. If I deliver more stuff, people who use my stuff actually appreciate it.
So why haven't we replaced Boeing? UHG? the "too big to fail" banks?

I would argue that replacing a private company that performs a critical government function poorly is actually more difficult than eliminating and reforming an agency like USAID or ICE.
My Moto Edge 2024 can do 4K but only at 24hz so that doesn't really count IMO. I generally run it at 1440p 120hz, or drop to 1080p if I'm playing Minecraft with my kids.

I'm using it right now to reply. It's easy to just plug in the phone to the USB cable my work laptop uses.
The only issue here is that many of the employees in question can likewise afford a weekly cleaner, to have groceries delivered and cooked meals delivered regularly. They can also live close to the office if they wish.

I think the issue is just that fundamental difference between what the work of relevant people comprises -- moreso than class. Managers, executives, and so on are "social workers": their job is to align people, brainstorm ideas, communicate, "govern" etc.

"Knowledge workers" job is, in large part, to think alone, then to create alone -- and when that fails seek some minimal intervention by another knowledge worker to resolve an issue.

"The Office" is not well-designed for knowledge work -- it's design for "social work". It's born of an era when manual workers worked in factories, and "social workers" worked in offices -- and "knowledge workers" were in academia, in the basement or some hidden (, silent) back office.

Reducing this to class seems to miss the point. Will anyone ever just recognise what the job of creative knowledge work is? Is it so incomprehensible? In the quest to "comprehend" it, we're told its our lack of maids which burden us so.

It's kinda laughable. A maid is no help if you won't STFU.

Most rating systems suck because the rating is relative to the reviewer but the interpretation is relative to the reader. And of course the rating relative to the reviewer at that time.

After decades of reading, there are probably only four fiction ratings for me:

Recommend - to a specific reader or genre

I read it multiple times over years

It's OK, but at this point it's bookshelf filler

I sold it.

There's usually a good thing in every book. I mean, the first 8 Stephanie plum books were fun...but it gets old. The hobbit/LOTR? I'd never recommend those today. I loved thr Thomas Covenant stuff back in the day, but today? No. But The Black Company and Garret PI series are the gifts that keep on giving.

Capturing that in a one dimensional measure is impossible...but it's been Good Enough for years. But you can try to make it better.
It feels like we went from an era where people were valued for being contrarian/independent, to one where people find value in being conformist. What changed?

And I don’t mean this in a strictly partisan way, like its not popular to have unique perspectives on conservatism anymore, it’s more popular to fall in line with the current administration's narrow definition of conservatism.
What would that look like?

My jaded, knee jerk response was going to be "build a dictator proof system and the world will build a better dictator". I don't want to be hopeless on this so I'm honestly asking about your ideas about it.
EBITDA? I'm not going to claim it's perfect (and if the company is struggling and paying back loans it's going to ignore the interest charges), but the idea behind it AIUI is that you strip out some of the, perhaps, "creative accounting" (that is mostly there to reduce a corporation tax bill) and deductions and focus on earnings/cost-of-sales. Which, should, in theory relate to how much a company can afford to pay for ancillary services.

In the industry I work in, between 96%-97%+ of revenue is the cost of the sale and is immediately handed over. Many purchases don't make a profit at all (fixed costs, commission doesn't cover them so it's loss-making - but you need to be able to offer them anyway).
Thanks!

Jellyfin is definitely on the list to be added, it's probably next in line actually. If it's as simple as Plex integration I'll be very happy.

I suspect many Return To Office programs are designed to be soft layoffs.

Enterprises can remove a meaningful number of employees for whom it’s a dealbreaker issue without the associated redundancy costs or PR issues.
And now they’re facing the consequences (the existence of which clearly refutes your chain of command argument). Maybe they are virtuous. Maybe they got bad advice from leadership. Either way the chapter is finished and the outcome doesn't seem positive for the insubordinate individuals.
I've gotten used to say that Capitalism is not the problem, but Corporatism.

We "just" need to switch from monolithic institutions and switch to limited-scale "microservices".

Limit the size of any corporation to at most 150 employees and and forbid any single individual to own/manage/take a seat in the board of directors for more than one company.

Even if inefficiencies might even still be there (because large corporations are able to optimize some process and they can have loss leaders), I can bet the net result will be more transparency, less waste and (most importantly) less chances of billionaires using their wealth to disrupt governments.
I'm starting to understand why people are willing to pay for the new york times.
They have something like 700 employees working on Firefox. To be honest, I have no idea what they do — take a look at the commit history and you’ll see that the core group of engine contributors is quite small — but $280,000 per employee including benefits, HR, office rent, and other overhead actually isn’t bad at all.
This is exactly the issue. The minute a group of humans gets too large you face the same challenges, regardless of whether it is public or private.
Does anyone have an estimate how much work it is to make a Webkit-based browser like Kagi's Orion, but open-source?

Not the rendering engine, but the browser around it? Is it something a small team could conceivably do if you placed reasonable constraints on it: one platform at first, no cloud sync, minimal feature set, etc.? Or are we talking years and years of work and dozens of devs?
My experience of working in corporations in more than 2 decades, from startups to FAANG, is that those are riddled with mismanagement and poor decision making, be it for incompetence, egocentrism, ignorance, etc and so forth. The only difference is that corporations tend to be optimized for generating profits, all else be damned.

I certainly wouldn't trust corporations with government functions.

Those are pretty typical wages for the UK. American wages are in a universe unto themselves and aren't a useful comparison for these purposes (it would be less than the minimum wage in some regions of the US).

If you are looking to add another provider, one can do so here: https://github.com/cmackenzie1/torii-rs/tree/main/torii-auth...

If you want change the plugin logic completely, you can implement the Plugin trait and register the plugin with the plugin manager: https://github.com/cmackenzie1/torii-rs/blob/main/torii-core...

Doing the latter, you can also bring your own storage provider.
If you dig in, you will find that HSBC is an Asian bank with a British regulatory structure. HSBC Group is large, and functionally HQ'd in hong kong, but on top of that, as I said, if you dig in, you'll find a lot of things that show HSBC is an Asian bank with a British regulatory structure, it's why it's used by people like myself.
You may just end up with the "tipped cashier" effect where wages are driven down on rationale that they will be tipped.

Now if you buy a self serve coffee in a paper cup the cashier whose sole job is to take your money, expects a tip because their wages are shite.

Do models matter to the regular user over brand? People talk about using chatGPT over Google's AI or Deepseek not 4o-mini vs gemini 2.

OpenAI has done a good job of making the model less important and the domain gptGPT.com more important.

Most of the time the model rarely matters. When you find something incorrect you may switch models but that rarely fixes the problem. Rewording a prompt has more value than changing a model.
Without trying to start a flame war...

There's likely an element that's certainly cultural, or a biologically based differences, but it seems like there are some very straight forward explanations for this.

There's significant governmental and private assistance to young women not available to young men (educational scholarships, grants, support groups, etc.). Any field in which men continue to do well is considered a problem, whereas the converse is accepted as a natural order (have you seen any pushes to get straight men into HR?).

There is also significant difficulty in even articulating these issues as its been broadly taboo to discuss biases that advantage women, such as a positive bias toward women in education[1]. That being said, the mere fact that this is now a publicly discussable issue seems to imply our standards for discussion are changing.

> The first-past-the-post system can only support two parties in the long run.

And yet the two main parties here do feel the need to collude to exclude third other parties. Which demonstrates that they see third parties as a legitimate threat.

And third parties can get enough vote share to tip the outcome ("if only all those people hadn't thrown their votes away, my side would have won!"). Which means they're not the non-entities that theory suggests they are.

And parties aren't static, but have to adjust to match the electorate. There isn't a static steady-state to eventually reach.

And if you've seen discussions about the Democrat party in the US being a "big tent" party that's hamstrung by needing to appease moderates or the Republican party needing to kick out various extremists to gain legitimacy (why yes, most of the discussions I see do come from people on what we call the "left" here, how could you tell?), they sound like there's something similar going on to what I see in discussions about countries with proportional / parliamentary systems having to form coalitions post-election. Ie there's the same sort of coalition-building going on, it just happens before rather than after and isn't explicitly made legible in the labels candidates use for themselves.
Yes, I believe the sprint is over, now its doing to be slow cycles maybe 18 months to see a 5% increase an ability and even that 5% increase will be highly subjective. Claude's new release is about the same 3.7 is arguably worse at some things than 3.5 and better at others. Based on the previous pace of release in about 6 months or so - if the next release from any of the leaders is about the same "kinda better kinda worse" then we'll know. Imagine how much money is going to evaporate from the stock market if this is the limit!!!
For headphone audio it's plenty to just PWM, inductance of the headphones and mechanical low pass characteristic of the speaker itself will mostly do the rest.

If you want to smooth the things out because you target a line input, simple LC filter will work just fine here.

If you want to get better bit depth, you should use PDM instead of PWM.
Given Mozilla's continual frittering away of cash, would it not show some constraint to not pay for "cloud" hosted stuff for things that could easily be hosted by Mozilla and probably for less (with a less absurd choice of software) - it's already pretty much game over anyway, as a long time defender of Mozilla it is impossible these days to argue.
I think you're overcomplicating it. I assume you created this markdown file and I assume you have a preview render that shows it the way you like it to be shown. So just hit the print button, and in the print dialog select save as PDF.
This mirrors a lot of what I've suspected. Executives have a survivorship bias of a very work-focused life. It's hard for them to understand why anyone else would choose differently.

This applies to both work location and number of hours per week. It's gotta be hard to understand and accept that lower-level workers have a different view and priorities from your own, especially when all your fellow execs share your own view.

And, as the tweet says, at a certain level you can afford to offset all the negatives of work location / work hours. No commute. Personal chef. All household chores covered. Full time individual childcare. It's a lot easier to come into the office for 50-60 hours per week when you don't have to also spend your time outside the office trying to balance sleep and survival. But, again, that's not what life looks like for an average employee.
Random idea: how hard would it be to convert your markdown to typst?
Regional Internet Registries work to prevent one of their own going rogue
The Stanford Hospital Nurses strike was driven by similar dynamics. Nurses had to work overtime through the entire pandemic while executives literally phoned it in for years! They were shocked, shocked, to discover that there was anger and resentment.

It was little surprise that more than half were showing up daily on picket lines as admin was apparently surprised that they couldn't find "travelers" to fill critical ICU roles, while surgeons continued scheduling elective surgeries.

It's still the case that the HR executive officer resides in LA and that Payroll is managed (with financially catastrophic results) from Hawaii. Both discipline and scheduling are also done almost entirely remote. It would be hilarious if not for the effects on staff and patients.
It seems like these policies are more geared towards giving companies a way to fire people and avoid the consequences of that than they are around improving productivity.

Maybe because they didn't use Git in their career or their role doesn't require to be hands-on.

In my company, we use mercurial so I can imagine that some SWEs aren't fluent in Git because they've used different tools. But apart from that, Git isn't rocket science. It takes a bit of practice like anything else but anybody should be able to know the basics in a few days, and become proficient after a few months of regular practice.
Big companies extract tax benefits from governments in exchange for locating their large buildings within said government's jurisdiction.

>If you want to actually improve governance (and we really should because it is in fact often quite dysfunctional), you don't come in with the notion that it is intrinsically rotten to the core and the very idea of governance is flawed by nature.

There are really two type if inefficiencies being conflated here. That of the workers, and that of the organizations.

For the organization, firing does nothing. You have to start by reducing the scope and simplifying the legislation of those organizations. E.g fix the tax code, eliminate the department of education, streamline EPA objectives.

For the worker incentive, this is really a classic public sector union debate, and should be treated as such.

I wonder if this could be a "money where your mouth is" thing for the EU.

If controlling a browser engine was considered strategic-- and for the love of the darkness, anything that gathers that much information and is owned by American techbros should be-- then they could provide a fair bit of a backstop to finance a dev team.

EU backing could also provide general street cred for the project-- it's both "financially resourced enough to not go poof" and "backed by an authority that both has a strong history of privacy protections, and is in a geopolitical scenario where they can't afford insecurity".
