Writing blog articles like this and posting them to social media to create crosslinks is a very common SEO strategy to "trick" PageRank into promoting your site higher in search results. It's the whole purpose behind all of t

No, that's not the same thing at all. For every other example of currency besides the government's currency, there's a tangible thing backing that unit. Crypto still doesn't have that, and that matters. To what degree

Oh I'm aware of that, my point is that it isn't the smooth transition folks seem to make it out to be (unless, of course, I'm a dum dum which is possible).

It just bothers me that this blatant SEO attempt is an article about how SEO ruined PageRank. Maybe it doesn't bother you, just thought it was worth calling out explicitly.

Am I just a dum dum for not getting this to drop-in replace Docker Desktop for my relatively simple projects? Has anyone else experienced the problematic practicalities of switching, or should I just spend a bit more time with it?

Yeah but like, the US is a lot more likely to be around in 20 years, so this argument doesn't really make any sense. Honestly I'm sick of hearing it; yes we know, all money is made up, that's not an interesting point anymore.

That's not really what this article is about though, it's about how PageRank doesn't work anymore because advertising is at odds with returning valuable results, which is complete nonsense for a gigantic subset of the value t

Nov 13th, 2020 was around when BTC was last at this price. What a wild ride it's been.

What a completely disconnected-from-reality article. There are so many ways to use Google to obtain the information you're looking for, and so many people do it literally on a minute-to-minute basis that it's flat absurd to call t

Why are people commenting about "leaderless teams" as if the article defines that to mean, "A team where there is no leader present"? That's not what this article is about at all. I know it's "bad form&q

Can you tell the difference between a screen that's off and a screen that's on but just "black"? That's the difference. I don't know precisely what that is/does, but I think a lack of evidence with actual

F.lux has always bothered me, because despite their very large volume of supporting papers[0], what I've never seen is a consistent link between the "blue light" from those many studies directly back to my real computer/

We disagree insofar as your statement, "The FBI is supposed to be effective, not ethical." They are supposed to be ethical, and then effective.

The FBI is supposed to be ethical, that's what's on the USA tin containing the FBI tin. You can provide a billion examples of how the US hasn't lived up to that notion, but 'liberty and justice for all' is, "wh

So nothing; nothing actually happened, and so now we must invent moral outrage to sustain the hate cycle. Aren’t you exhausted by all of this? Why continue to participate in the flywheel when you can otherwise simply reap the myriad benefi

I just don’t understand the obsession with privacy at all cost. What has anyone actually had happen to them as a result of their Reddit or YouTube browsing history? This just seems like reverse voyeurism, and while that’s fine, it’s odd to

Mostly just a reverse argument to authority, which isn't the fallacy an argument to authority is, AFAIK.

Yeah well, Yishan failed miserably at topic moderation on Reddit, and generally speaking Reddit has notoriously awful moderation policies that end up allowing users to run their own little fiefdoms just because they name-squatted earliest o

There are no "goalposts" to move. Elon Musk has a well earned reputation, and it's impacting how I and others judge his actions related to Twitter.

...it makes no sense to consider someone's history when predicting their future performance? If that doesn't make sense to you, not much will.

Trustworthiness has never been part of the equation, what the heck are you talking about???

by matai_kolila 4y ago
No, that's not how this works. Elon Musk existed before his Twitter purchase, he doesn't get a pass on literally everything he's done up until now.

I'd go for redis a bit earlier, it's just so easy to use! I wouldn't cache much at all to start, then at like 10k users (or wherever my benchmarking says to) I'd include it w/redis. React is a decent choice also he

Great discussion, one thing I would throw out there is that while we're all used to having some kind of "unique" thing in the market that attracts users, I think in this case one could feature-for-feature copy Twitter, and as
