Yeah, Google kind of created the link-farm ecosystem because it rewarded links— again, without verification etc. but just algorithmically.

LOL this comment now feels like something of a RickRoll— I'm scrolling through the comments, happily consuming, and then BOOM! I've posted it here several times myself :)

I second Mint. Have used it for a decade on my main dev machine. Only now have I turned to Win 10 and WSL for my main work and I've got to say: it's not bad. And it pretty much just works.

OK that makes sense. For the small stuff FB might still be a better bet.

What is the price-point of what you sell? Do you sell a $20 product, a $200 product, a $2000 product? Google has gotten expensive, a bidding for adwords with a $20 product has never seemed like a good idea to me.

These kinds of posts always leave me wondering "what are they selling and for how much?" If you're selling a $12 ebook does Google work for you? Does Facebook? I feel like none of these platforms work very well for small-t

Oh definitely discourage them, but don't give away how you know. In the defense world the secrets are usually classified lower (sometimes much more so) than the sources.

I would think the opposite: If the program was greatly effective, I would want a blog post just like this to capture the bad guys' attention. That way they might tend to be less careful and make it easier on me.

They might fade when we boomers do, but they also could stay in that sweet spot of people who have disposable income and are apt to spend it— a sweet spot advertisers love. They could end up targeting 40-65 year olds perpetually.

Early on, karma meant you had an interesting comment. If the comment made you comment, it was pretty automatically worthy of an upvote, even if you disagreed. Later, it turned into more of an agree-disagree vote.

I've found that explanation to be pretty good, as a matter of fact. The paradox seems to arise because from a psychological effect of "projecting" the directions with respect to the image "looking" back at you. On

They don't. They keep the right on the right, the left on the left, the top on the top and the bottom on the bottom. I never quite got why this was a paradox tbh.

At this point, a study which concludes the opposite has to bring the proverbial extraordinary evidence. We aren't even close to that point. There's a heckuva lot that we still don't know about this virus. That paper was u

I even remember when Apple tried to forbid cross-compiling apps- you had to use their compiler. Their platform exists because of the devs, and yet they appear to have little respect for the devs.

Agree- but having the time and inclination to put serious consideration into something novel doesn't mean they have the time and inclination to put serious consideration into everything novel. It's a risk. Make it an "als

The paper you cited doesn't supply evidence- according to the abstract it's their best guess based on experience with other coronaviruses. The evidence is actually scant but there's a decent discussion of it in the Guardian a

I believe _jstreet is referring to the case of getting sick again if exposed to the coronavirus a second time. There are limited data, but so far it looks like the re-infection is less severe. https://www.theguardian.com/co

Haha I don't remember that. It must not have gotten much traction in Charlottesville.

If not a trusted party, they perhaps more importantly consider it a competitive advantage that they'll defend my any means available.

Ha yeah and even music samplers came like that occasionally in magazines. In fact when I saw the headline to the thread I thought "Oh someone discovered a Todd Rundgren Easter egg." EDIT: I just checked the article. It was an

Shameless plug: I teach people how to do exactly this at bizworklife.com. It's tool agnostic: just how to get control of your goals (geared mainly for startup entrepreneurs). It started as an online course (that is still there) but

Yeah; what the hell happened? Not just programming, but other technical things too. It's like everybody is gaming search so hard that search is going back to the days of AltaVista and Lycos.

Putting a plug for mynoise.net. I've been using and recommending them for years although I am unaffiliated. brain.fm looks cool though.

Yes- in this case they have individual offices. But it would work if enough people worked remotely.
