Wow had a flashback to the web 2.0 bubble. They must be really convincing at sales to get funding for something they can't even explain, again.

I see sources citing 4600m and also 1500m (as normal), but some footnotes and referances to The Deep Sea stats would be nice.

Very cool, since this is HN I would be nice to see what you're using to create this, is there a plugin system, roadmap, open source?

and they become adults..

That's not the point, I was commenting on the article.

FYI Canada has 3 engineering firms in the world top 10, SNC-Lavalin with 50k employees, WSP with 44k employees, and Stantec with 22k.

Lack of experience and expertise is not the issue.

>Quebec removed a blindfold with the Charbonneau Commission.

Sorry to digaree but he Charbonneau Commission did very little, corruption is still a huge problem in QC, it's part of the culture ..like Italy.

What a ridiculous article. Nothing comparing the actual feature set and differant professional use cases.

If easydns is writing shallow blog fodder like this, should I expect the same thing from thier actual product line?

Google Search / Youtube really push the MSM into the top results, it's really not what I'm looking for.

DDG results are meoicre.

It's weird when you can say internet search has devolved.

This is usless without showing what is being sold, by who, and to whom.

Well this is a mistake, not from a design perpective but from a brand one.

>>Surveillance finance. One's ability to engage financially (e.g. borrow in Libra) will potentially be determined by their social graph and online activity.

Say what?

I think the point for this particular case, which you did allude to, is that there was nothing anonymous about the relationship. Everyone knew about it, some of them implicated directly in the actual court case (Minsky). This is more about a completely corrupt and toxic culture at Media Lab. It would have been more interesting to look deeper into Joi Ito for example and the posturing of several key players when exposed, than wax poetic about the blanket of anonymity.

The founder of MIT's AI lab Marvin Minsky is accused of having sex with a minor via Epstein, there are several photos of MIT/Harvard scientists with Epstein on his island.

There is nothing anonymous about this at all. Negroponte has admitted he knew about Epstein's conviction in 2012.

And I quote "We all knew he went to jail for soliciting underage prostitution,” said Negroponte. “But we thought he served his term and repented."

What a fucking joke.

I don't know what people expect , you're going to have to do some digging to find the gems, like everything else in life. There no magical algorithm that can't be gamed or eventually skewed to be bland, boring, sales driven, and altogether less creatively interesting.

If you want real discussion nothing really beats the classic forum bulletin board.

Google search has gone down the proverbial shithole in the last 2 years, and has been struggling long before that. Even for non political searches it returns horrible results. It's a threat in the short-term, and then it will be replaced since the algorithm is falling apart.

tl;dr Craig ratted out La Roux and the the icing on the cake is trying to steal La Roux's coins using a front for mining (and school funding, etc)? Ya that's not the full story, La Roux certainly knows about this unless he's in solitary, did anyone ask him;)

Matt did an incredible job at Google search and left in 2016, since then it's been downhill, not entirely because of him, but it's certainly a noticeable effect, especially if you followed Matt's google search related Q&A's, videos, etc when he was at Google.

Matt Cutts fallout.

Yes, i'm having to go several pages deep and even then not finding anything relevant, I've started to use other search engines and reddit to actually find useful info.

Great article but I found this one easier to understand including quotes from the artist about how it works, https://www.quora.com/At-the-Hoover-Dam-what-is-the-meaning-...

For some reason the author doesn't even mention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcyone_(star) which is written into the map.

What better place to preserve a star map than an indestructible cement dam in the desert.

Google continuing to undermine the founding principles of the web for that sweet sweet ad revenue, a very minor part of the actual web experaince for a dwindling population of ad clickers. Digging a hole straight down sugarcoated with BS and delusion.

No, not at all.

It was amazing, so much energy and excitement. No one used HTTP, no one was selling anything. It was mainly about communication over usenet , email, and irc. Public ISP's didn't exist.

The corporations were not really the first one to monetise and usher in e-commerce/www, it was porn, this ushered in lots of new tech.

The internet switched from active participation to passive consumption, and now we have both except now everything is monetised, monitored, and moderated.

It was the wild west.

The U.K. papers had diagrams of this said drone, including speculation of the actual model, cost($8k+) , I even saw a diagram of a superimposition of the drone over a airplane engine to show the relative size. They also mentioned the drone must have been hacked to bypass the built-in blackout software for airports.

Any system that ignore's incentives with regards to human behaviour will turn into a formula for tyranny and misery.

Let's all wait and see what Craig Wright is building with SPV ;)

"Presumably also over the Bering land bridge" , certainly a big presumption giving that boats are a preferred means of long distance travel, but proving as such so far back must be practically impossible.

It's a little deeper than that, cats were revered because they killed snakes, scorpions, rats, etc, around the house that did harm, pharaoh's having a particularity good pick of the litter, breeding was a part of temple life.

The most common cats in ancient Egypt are still around today, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_wildcat and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_cat

It doesn't take long for the tide to turn when you compromise core values. Sugarcoating isn't going to work, I for one see your this trajectory as particularity troubling, if Google doesn't hold onto the reins of what little is left.
