Writing is literally the conveyance of thought itself, and nothing else.

A picture of a rock might or might not provoke any particular thoughts about rocks in the viewer.

But if I write anything more than the purely descriptive "there is a rock" then I have conveyed some sort of thought about the rock or rocks in general, and at the very least you have been introduced to my thought, and very likely you have also reacted with some thought of your own. And the mechanical process of reading gave you the time and venue for that to happen.

Even if I do try to be purely descriptive, it's impossible to seperate my perception from the output. I can only describe what I noticed and considered noteworthy. I litetally cannot write the equivalent of a photograph of a rock, but can only write my thoughts about that rock.

The photograph may contain more data, but no opinions and no understandings. The viewer can possibly have no thoughts at all about it, and not actively notice most of the data, or the significance of various bits of the data, but the reader must have at the very least the thoughts of the writer, and it will be almost impossible not to have some sort of thougts of their own in reaction to reading the writers.

Other things also provoke thought, including video games. But I only asserted "more".
I disagree on all counts.

I quit using Amazon a few years ago. For almost all goods, there are other German online retailers that are as convenient, for the same or better prices. Having to sign up for them is a small price to pay for not having to deal with Amazon's "search" function. Plus, many stores implement account-less Paypal/GPay/APay checkout.

The only thing I use Amazon for these days, is weird Alibaba imports that are not available from reputable stores. But even there, Ebay or Alibaba itself are usually more convenient.
Hey! Good to see you again. Thanks for the kind words :)

Cash is the only anonymous (and widely accepted) payment option left. There's already certain regulations in place (revolving around ATM limits, buying noble metals, proof of origin, identification on payment, etc) and they're gonna get updated in 2027 with new EU regulation, so the outlook is not great on that front.

And no store openings on sunday is one person's consoomerist nuisance and another's day off. And before you say, they'll get another day off, consider the value of having synchronized leisure time.

Perhaps a naive take but money, resources and even legislative friction are non issues to try to solve such a disturbing humanity-level problem on a global scale. Which platform or entity wouldn't want to invest or otherwise back it up? Meta alone should shower such initiative with money and proccessing capacity.

>How else should Ukraine pay for the military assistance it's receiving?... Sharing profits from your natural resources in exchange for military resources seems like a great deal to me.

Sorry, where did you get that this deal is for _FUTURE_ military resources??? Seriously - where did you hear that?

The only way the Trump administration characterized the mineral deal is as repayment for PAST military aid, even though it was perfectly understood that those were GRANTS (i.e. there were no terms attached to the military aid). The Trump administration also accused Ukraine of cheating/tricking the US/Biden administration to get this military aid ... and also of starting the war ... and also of being a dictatorship ... and also of being an obstacle to peace.

Trump administration also made it clear that the mineral deal is NOT a security guarantee, nor is the mineral deal payment for FUTURE military aid.

------------

It is a common pattern that whenever Trump says X, apologists, like you, come out of the woodwork and say something like "Well, what he really meant to say is Y".

Yes, it would be different if the mineral deal was payment for future military aid .. but it isn't - so why are you saying that?
Perhaps, but we’re in the process of burning down essential services to satisfy the rabble.

I started learning Swedish almost 40 years ago and I wish sometimes like this was available back then. As it was, I had to study quite hard for about 1-2 years by just listening to a lot of Swedish. Reading Swedish comfortably took almost six years to learn - I imagine it would have been faster with an app like this.
Most people think "natural" means they can just go into backyard, dig up some root, and get this for free.

But its " Gila Monster’s venom".

So natural, but you aren't going to just go out and eat it like resveratrol from wine.

At this point, 'natural', just means made from atoms, yes atoms are naturally occurring.
People very much have to work in Star Trek. If they don't, unsuspecting enemies like Q, the Romulans, or the Borg would eradicate the Federation's existence. They also have their own forms of scarcity. Replicators are somewhat common but Holodecks are not and members of the crew must schedule time to use them. Resource allocation is determined through the decisions of leaders in the beauratic hierarchy and the longer you watch, the more you see the ways in which the Federation falls short.
I misunderstood, I thought the subdomain was an R2 bucket. If it's just normal Cloudflare proxying to some backend this is probably the most likely answer.

That said, while I think it's not the case here, using Cloudflare doesn't mean the underlying host is accessible, as even on the free tier you can use Cloudflare Tunnels, which I often do.

Alas, people might not trust these denials much. Better safe than sorry.
It's a shame that asking an honest question is getting downvoted. It's like downvoting learning. I'll answer from my perspective, before you're greyed out to oblivion.

My understanding is that for the USA, sending weapons isn't the same as giving away money. The military industrial complex gains from more weapons needing to be built, for one thing.

For the free world at large, it's beneficial to oppose Putin via a proxy war for obvious reasons.

We're all getting something out of this, and I'd say if it's in return for sending weapons, that's a good deal (for us!).
Ask HN: What are good options for doing on page SEO fixes for developers?
I have tried SEOjuice and Rankai - I think they do a really good job but if I don't want to pay per month. If I have to do this on my own as a frontend engineer - what are my options?

- Are there any tools which can apply SEO fixes either run time or just fixes in the code itself.

For context: We are using Nuxt/Vue for our webapp.
I do not think completely entangled is a problem, it is just that there will be actual reasons to look for alternatives how ever bad they are. Considering that the EU is under fire from the current president of the US it is going to affect how people think in the EU.
Many dictionaries now list one common use of “literally” as meaning “figuratively, with emphasis”. So literally officially sometimes now literally means figuratively.

> If they can't figure out an alternative, that says a lot about their lack of critical thinking skills, and that's a problem.

I'm with you on the value of critical thinking skills.

But, before using this thread to call out anyone for a perceived lack of critical thinking skills, maybe first make a compelling argument that it's worth their time to even determine whether Amazon is "essential" rather than "convenient".

I suspect that you arrived to the thread with a belief that there's something like a moral imperative not to use Amazon. But you didn't articulate an argument for that, and it wasn't otherwise established in this context. So maybe that's why I think your approach in this thread was a bit aggressive or rough. Which is disincentive to invest critical thinking energy into the thread.

> The shopping experience on Amazon is meh

I wouldn't say it's especially good, but most others are worse. As a start, many online shops show me a captcha from Cloudflare before saying "You have been blocked" or refuse to show me anything altogether on Firefox with RFP. Amazon has never given me a captcha to buy something, at least.
I find it curious that a writer for a site called EMEA Entrepreneurs is either ignorant of, or choosing to ignore, the colloquial British meaning of the word "cowboy": an incompetent or dishonest (or both) tradesman. It's seen most commonly in the combination "cowboy builder", but can be applied to pretty much any trade, and can stand alone ("I wouldn't work with them again, they were a complete bunch of cowboys.")

So a business owner who describes their operation as "more cowboys than drones" to a British audience may not be conveying quite the message they intend.
The current standard of living is also being propped up by a completely unsustainable debt burden and the fading dividends of the unipolar moment.

Personally, I am completely in favor of all these policies. We are basically going to go through a period of austerity.

It is really what makes this system so incredible. Such a dynamic system to go from sending people checks in the mail to a few short years later, austerity. People get much too involved though with the personalities as opposed to what the system is doing as a whole.

At the most macro level, I think there is a tremendous amount of denial that the unipolar moment is over. The arguments against austerity here are just clinging to a time that has come and gone. It is like wishing I could stay in my 30s forever.

AI is also incredibly deflationary long term. The path we were on would have devalued the currency long term. If we get control of the debt and re-shore manufacturing, I can't imagine that not being good for the currency. I think the easiest way to get a non-distorted view is by flipping things around from the perspective of China.

All of this would seem bad from the Chinese perspective.

I feel like we are also doing a type of Yuan gambit to the world long term here.

Sick of the US? Well the Yuan is right there for you to take. We are betting on the gambit being refused.

If we could just turn the temperature down on the political personality bullshit there is so much interesting discussion to be had but it is almost impossible that it currently doesn't turn into a pointless food fight.
This is often cited as the reason (but there are plenty more):

If the CA's are doing their jobs...then FirstBank.com can get a cert for their web site. But the gang who rooted a bunch of home routers (or hacked a WiFi setup, or whatever) can't.

If not...then yeah, that's the problem.
Every framework is going to “fail” eventually. If you want to stay in software development you’re going to have to reinvent yourself every few years.
Yes, but it would usually be based on the first 3 or 6 numbers of your phone number. The first 3 are of course “area code” and the 6 are called “NPA-NXX”. This has blurred some due to line number portability and cell phones.
> Unpopular opinion: How else should Ukraine pay for the military assistance it's receiving?

That's a weird question. Most of that equipment was more or less produced in the first place for fighting Russia.

Equivalently, you could ask how the US should be paying Ukraine for the manpower they are providing.

The US is getting a huge discount here, because they only have to supply some equipment for the fight. Ukraine is supplying the manpower for free.
I disagree here. Blood tests done at birth are done specifically for the benefit of the child (and with minimal risk to the child). A paternity test has no benefit for the child (it doesn't tell you who the father is, simply who the father isn't) and a ~1% risk of harm to the child.

The period immediately after birth is one of the most dangerous times for children, and we (should) specifically take action to protect them in a moment where they are at risk and have no agency. A paternity test would increase the risk of harm to the child (either through violence, deprivation, or neglect). We didn't even get to the subject of possible violence against the mother either, which is likely.

Semaglutide and co are "GLP-1 receptor agonists" that behave in a similar way to the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1.

We can't give people GLP-1 itself because it breaks down really fast and you'd have to provide it continuously, so we use ones that effect the body the same way over a long period of time.
Is this quote real? I'm familiar with George Pólya's, "If you cannot solve the proposed problem, try to solve first a simpler related problem" but I cannot find any source for the Lenstra quote.
I am comparing IRC protocol with discord. For valid comparison you need to compare IRC servers with discord, and many of them were operated by scummy people.
We all know that in many cases the phrase "we will improve this later" means "we will never improve this".
I still have some respect for that form of advertising though. At least they are not actively trying to be pieces of crap. :)
This is very cool. But has someone done this for Common Lisp? Not that there is anything wrong with the dependency on Emacs but I'd like to avoid that if I can.
> Killing Russians is basically one of the best things a government can spend money on.

I wouldn't be so cynical. Dismantling the power of the Russian government: yes. But that doesn't necessarily have to involve offing Russian men. They are also people, and their lives are worth something.

Such opposite motivations. I built shite [1] because I want to author everything in org-mode [2], but I don't want publishing hardwired to my Emacs. Also I want HTML templates to be just... HTML (heredocs are rather useful!).

Plus org-babel lets me pull tricks like this:

I want to insert certain HTML fragments in some pages, arbitrarily. There is no sensible way to automate it. BUT, I can source my HTML templates inside any org file, and manually expand it in-line. Like so:

#+BEGIN_SRC bash :results raw html :exports results
source ../bin/templates.sh
shite_template_common_org_inline_sales_banner "."
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_export html
<the neatly in-lined HTML>
#+end_export

That expands to this sales banner https://www.evalapply.org/index.html#standing-invitation (which is also expanded similarly in my hire.org and now.org pages).

Nifty!!!

The only way I've been able to get things done is to first allocate time for the things I want to study right when I wake up, then do as much as I can to learn them. The only requirement is to try to understand the material. Putting deadlines and/or milestones in the beginning can sometimes discourage people from starting.
EMEA means "Europe, Middle-East & Africa" I believe? Why would that imply the author is particularly familiar with British idioms? I'm from that region and have never heard of that until now.
Well it's definitely better than YAML but I'm not sure that's saying much. I wish we just had universal support for JSON5.
That people still vote for him.

Either it was a sham or it was a sham lawfare.
The details aren't there, so it's "assume" rather than "understand".

The only proper response to OP's question is to ask for clarification: is the subdomain pointing to a separate IP? Are the logs vhost-specific or not?

If you don't get the answers, all you can do is to assume, and both assumptions may end up being right or wrong (with varying probability, perhaps).
Thanks, that answers my questions about how pedigrees were preprocessed for a study like this:

1. Isn’t there a very high chance any particular male’s result is true for both father and uncle?

2. For young teen mothers, sometimes a family of older mother and two assumed siblings is really grandmother, mother, child. Paternity and slightly maternity are secretly, generationally obscured. So two assumed female siblings might share less than half-sibling measures of autosomal DNA.
Those who would be obsessed would totally grab a bit of hair and mail it off to some country where such things are legal and get the answer in an email...
To contextualize: As it is now dealerships and any other merchants have to document buyers (by showing id) purchasing with cash above 10k€ and may ask for proof of origin of the money.

In 2027 all cash purchases above 10k€ are forbidden due to EU law and purchases above 3k€ have to be documented.
Beautiful yet terrifying. I'm glad that regex isn't something I'll ever have to touch.
> I think the pressures of 21st-century capitalism have put every large company into a place where they really can’t afford to be ethical or the financial sector will rip them to shreds then replace the CEO someone who will maximize shareholder return at all costs, without any of that amateurish “ethics” stuff.
Great article that I disagree with fully!

Like anything, universities provide a service. That service, for me currently, is getting a degree afterwards. If that service ceases, my interest in the university ceases. If the cost of such a degree is larger than money I would expect to earn over a certain period, my interest in the university ceases.

I know that people in other countries (I'm from Europe) have absolutely different opinions, which the author does point out, I still feel like going into debt for hundreds of thousands of dollars for something that is not worth it may not be.. smart.
>- Do you treat your employees as trusted, respected professionals (meaning: people who might know better than you)? Do your employees treat one another that way? Do they give you that same respect?

So many times it boils down to insecurities in the people managing. If you need to degrade the other to not feel inadequate, you shouldn’t manage people.
That's ignoring the failures of the Falcon 1 rocket that used the same Merlin engine. Once they got the bugs worked out the Falcon rockets have been very reliable.

2) Are you using TLS? Unless you are using a wildcard cert, then the FQDN will have been published as part of the certificate transparency logs.

Spaceline: A Design for a Lunar Space Elevator
In some places in the US the use of sewage sludge to fertilize farm land is turning into a shit show of epic proportions (sorry couldn't resist ;-) due to severe PFAS contamination:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/27/climate/epa-pfas-fertiliz...

https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/pfas-in-fertilisers-blam...

I have to say I'm kind of happy were not doing this in the Netherlands, because PFAS are a horrible class of chemicals that are causing all sorts of issues in nature as well as human health (obviously the two are intricately linked). I'm kind of ashamed to hear that the Netherlands are trying to get rid of their sewage in the UK though...

Mmm. I think once you get out of the super common words that appear in any style of text, the ideal is to learn words from something guided by what appears specifically in what you want to read. For Japanese I'm currently using jpdb.io, which (if there is a deck for the book you're reading) lets you work on the words that match what you're reading. It has its flaws but overall it's been working out for me.
Decentralization: IRC wasn't as decentralized as people make it to be. All the top servers were in freenode and other centrally managed networks.

Discord trap: IRC was non persistent. For that comparison you can shift away from discord quickly. If you care about persistence and search of messages then yes discord has a lock in, but again this wasn't even a feature of IRC.
For any speed readers out there, is there a specific speed you have settled down on, or do you always try to improve it by a bit?

My understanding is that the comprehension goes down rapidly as you increase your speed, and despite being a pretty speedy reader, I often find myself turning back pages to understand information I did not quite absorb. Maybe I could do with a little bit less speed after all.
