I worked in SEO for ages, and it's shady as f. You can buy links from anyone, the BBC the guardian, the times... It just costs money. You can ask/force people to take links down (copyright scare, sue, threaten). Fake blogs, we use

In the Uk I expect they will shut down hard, then after the NHS recovers a little we'll get a little holiday from the shut down to spread the infection a little. I guess they will do this in phases (e.g. some shops will be opened for a

How am I getting downvoted? How can satellites reflect the sun when they are in shadow? And who is pointing their telescope up at sunrise? No one!

They are mostly a problem at sunrise and sunset when they catch the sun and reflect it. Astronomy isn't much good then anyway.

Most UK supermarkets offer this service. You need a store scanner that you pick up with the trolly. Scan everything, then pay and leave. You'll get stopped very occasionally for staff to check you aren't stealing. But they don&#x2

Glass and metal are a nightmare on the beach and in parks. Plastic sucks bad, but going back to glass isn't much better.

I think Blue Origin will explode into the space race. Bezos is a smart fellow and his number one passion is space. I think competition between SpaceX and Blue Origin is happening right now and is fierce. I'm sure Musk knows what Bezos

When we go to the beach twice a day for a surf - who can afford to pay for parking? Plus the jog to the beach is good for you. And some people what to look like a surfer. I am a surfer who wants to look like a normal person. Who buys a new

Maybe not cult, but 'trendy' for sure. It was skateboarding, windsurfing, surfing etc .... trends come and go.

Yeah, it's a nightmare when my kids are browing using my account -- tons of 18+ horror gets shown in amongst cartoons. It's such a dumb system. Yes, we have more than one account. Mistakes happen.

Google search was curated by humans for a long time. Last guy I met who was doing it, now works for an SEO firm. Things like house insurance, medical insurance etc is highly hand tweaked.

I often wonder how Tesla will make use of Starlink. Such a huge data stream up and down will enable all sorts of interesting things. Maybe each car won't need a brain, maybe one huge brain will drive all cars. Sync all the cars up, mak

I was at the beach today (UK) and there was more net than I could carry. It was in about 100 bits that I tied together into a giant ball. There were around 60 plastic bottles, a few big plastic cans (oil) and lots of micro plastic.

Yep. We send drone deep into the ocean. To an Orca this is magical technology that isn't trying to cloak it's self.

These skills are not hard. 3 months of apprenticeship, 1 day in college, 4 days in a job. Just start building one, learn as you do it. All I do is insist that the students do it. They're all like you, "Oh I don't know if I ca

My students do three: Reddit clone Food bank organisation, shops submit out of date food. People want food. You organise this, facebook like interface. MUD clone Code these three. Put on github.

I have a num pad separate to my keyboard so I can move it around. It also saves macros to keys, so I can hit a key and deploy my project. Also, cut, copy and paste are now one key press - take that RSI! Basically, anything that is uncomfort

Couple this with repl.it and some examples to work through. Some hints on how to debug it, etc. I'm not asking for anything magic, just the glue that sticks all these bits together.

It's crazy that N64 games (e.g. mario) have really interesting menu screens, with nice animations, an interesting background, menu items that pop and jiggle... all pretty much impossible in HTML for someone like me.

A simple BOT that a student could ask for advice "I don't understand Python WHILE loops" and it pointed them to a YouTube video coupled with some easy examples. I see that is almost possible now.

Well, Bostrom states that there will be more ideas in the future that may change the simulation theory. It's the latest most plausable theory.
