I assumed outdoor time helps because your eyes spend time focusing at a greater distance. Going outside, but only to use a phone/ereader/book is likely not effective.

It's not about subsidizing the repair. Samsung placed a limit of 7 official repair parts every 3 months per repair shop being supplied by ifixit. How is a phone repair shop meant to operate when they can only get 2.3 parts per month?

I'm not the one making assumptions, it's thousands of independent hosts, and all big tech orgs (including specifically Apple in this case) who are making that assumption. I didn't say the assumption was right, just that it&#x

You end up fighting an uphill battle against every third party that blacklists .xyz, It’s not worth the fight just to use a cute tld and save a few dollars on registration cost.

Issue isn’t self hosting email, it’s self hosting it at .xyz. They had one of the cheapest registration costs. And so ended up with a high concentration of spammers compared to older established tld’s like dot com. Using the tld for legitim

Don’t want to sound like I’m victim blaming the author. But I can tell you exactly the issue with their account: registering with an email on a self hosted .xyz domain. Using sketchy tld’s is just asking for this kind of trouble. https:&#x

People are searching for comparisons, but these pages have been designed to seem highly relevant to the search engine. Not to be highly useful for readers. That page from Zapier is another example of the same issue. When Google rolls out th

Yeah I felt kinda hoodwinked. I read their blog post and felt quite outraged. Google stepping on the little guy, “they provided no explanation” etc. Then I scroll to the bottom of the thread on hacker news, saw this comment, and “oh, that’s

You can downrank your own pages and website by hosting low quality SEO focused content. Spammy content written by others, on their own domain, doesn’t affect your ranking.

Explicitly mentioned on that blogpost: “…or feel like they were created for search engines instead of people. This could include sites created primarily to match very specific search queries.” The numerous “Tuta vs …” that all reword the sa

These pages, and more on the Tuta website, are a blatant example of SEO spam. Thousands of words long, all rephrasing the same talking points and SEO keywords. No real customer is going to read thousands of words of rephrased crap. They eve

They’ve been de-ranked because their website hits all the “SEO optimized” red flags that Google are now downranking for. Pages like “Outlook vs Tuta Mail” “Gmail vs Tuta mail”, “Yahoo vs Tuta Mail”. All with the same rephrased taking points

If I get an email from @tuta.com, how do I know if it’s an official staff account, or a member of the public?

He was held in solitary confinement for 108 days for a white collar non-violent first offence. Nobody should be subject to such conditions, for any offence. It is state sponsored torture. The Japanese justice system is dysfunctional, and it

It's not disruption to make me wait 5 weeks to read a digital file through my local library's Libby service. It's an outdated business model using artificial scarcity that isn't effective at getting books onto readers de

This isn’t a China specific thing. The story of Carlos Ghosn is a particularly worrying example out of Japan.

“They didn’t fill out some trivial form” is never the answer. It’s a show of power by someone, either Chinese govt or Meta.

The problem is that the existing language concepts that implement these ideas are ambiguous in many languages. Does int *x imply that x is an optional value, or that it’s intended to be shared with/from others, or both of the above?

Speaking of which, why are we stuck with this terrible "trailing space selected" behaviour? It's not the case on all platforms, macos/ios perform fine and only select the actual word but Windows still includes the traili

I think you are coming at this from a particular Python mindset, driven by the limitations imposed on Python threading by the GIL. This is a peculiarity specific to Python rather than a general purpose concept about threads vs processes.

I think you have missed a key detail in the story. None of the video content is in any way criminal. It’s an attempt to unmask someone the police are investigating for completely unrelated criminal activity (money laundering with cryptocurr

Entrapment isn’t just “any time police trick you during an investigation”. It is only entrapment if the police actually induce you to commit the crime you are charged with. Viewing these videos is not a crime.

The first is a somewhat clever attempt to unmask someone ann undercover investigator was already talking to. Police should have narrowed scope of the warrant by only asking for data on viewers within a narrow window after they sent the link

Inference compute costs and training compute costs aren’t the same. Training costs are an order of magnitude higher.
