You mean Google, explains how it adjusts it search rankings based upon what is the on the page. I don't get it, people seem to think Google is a public utility that it needs to treat everyone and everything equally. They are in the business to make money too. Google, is working with Forbes, to sell Ads and they stated that the Google button increases the rankings of those pages.

It is not like Google hasn't integrated or adjusted their search results to promote other web sites. A great example is Wikipedia, if I ask a question like P-38 lightning what is that Wikipedia is not only at the top of the search results, but they have a special summary box at the top of the page and another box to the right. Another example is if you are looking for an actor/actress they not only pop-up their Wiki information but their profiles on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Myspace. Google has never been perfectly objective or fair.

We live in the age of caveat emptor . People need to be aware of what they are looking at and maybe do a little more work instead of complaining that Google isn't perfect and is not treating everything fairly.

About a zillion references.

Wow. This was a really stupid idea. It looks like it is optional but it makes no sense. It appears they might even be co-mingling third party items with their own items. I will have to start reconsidering my purchases on amazon. This makes amazon products less trustworthy than ebay. It also doesn't really make sense. Why would you buy a new product and send it to amazon when amazon should in theory always be able to buy in bulk cheaper than you.

About a zillion references.

I will stay away from any Zeppelin-Die-based CPUs until AMD provides a proper explanation and fix for the "gcc segmentation fault" bug that haunts Ryzen CPUs.

Umm... they already did both of those.

No, they did neither. Please provide a link to that proper explanation and description of the fix you say exists.

What AMD currently does is rather "have some poor guy test N CPUs to find some non-buggy exemplars amongst them and ship those to RMA demanding customers". And as one can see from the reports of affected people, even recently delivered RMA-exchange CPUs (manufactured in CW 30) were still affected: https://docs.google.com/spread...

Seriously?

https://www.google.com/search?...

Wear down? You mean degrade? If so, no, that's not "the way it is in electric cars".

Driving on modern EVs is much less stressful than charging. A 300 mile Tesla driving at 70 mph discharges fully in 4,3 hours. It can then fill up half its pack in 20 minutes. The rate of putting energy into packs is much higher than the rate of taking them out, unless you're driving full out on the track.

Secondly, supercharging has little to no impact on a Tesla pack's life, as confirmed by numerous comparisons. Nor is degradation even much of an issue at all, period. Here is collected data on Tesla vehicles. Click on "charts". You'll see that typical degradation is about 4% in the first year of ownership, and then it strongly declines; after five years, the average total degradation is about 6-7%. Roadster owners (aka much older vehicles) usually report about 10% degradation. Tesla warranties their packs for 8 years (with unlimited miles on the S and X). And 8 year battery warranties are actually pretty much the industry standard these days.

That of course doesn't mean that you can't make a bad battery pack; it's actually easy. Early Leafs had bad problems with degradation in hot climates, for example, because their packs are only passively cooled rather than climate controlled (they still suffer worse degradation than Teslas, but they're not as bad as they used to be). It all comes down to what type of cells you use (because chemistry / design greatly affects properties; all li-ions are most definitely not equal) and how much you baby them.

You are however correct that freeway driving on EVs is much less energy (not power) efficient than in the city. EV ranges, however (at least for passenger vehicles - I've never looked into semis) are rated on the EPA 5-cycle or an equivalency metric (such as US-06 times a downward adjustment factor of 0.7). They're for "normal" highway driving, supposed to be an average of how people drive. That said, if you drive faster than average, you'll get significantly poorer performance. On the flipside, if you're a slowpoke, you'll significantly exceed the range.

US production per worker is currently about $58,000, and seems to be going up by $10,000 per decade.

That's per capita, meaning "per person". If the per-capita output were distributed equally to every man, woman, and child everyone would have about $58.000 to spend. Each year. Including kids and babies. And they could do it again next year.

This will only go up as AI and automation take over. A huge number of driving jobs will be taken over by self-driving vehicles in the next decade (already happening with long-haul trucks), and AI and robotics will take over ever more of the production, working 24/7 and making more goods, more cheaply, and faster than humans.

More goods, and faster than humans? Gee, that's nice. Too bad the unemployable masses won't have any disposable income to buy any of that massively efficient inventory of goods and services. And the wealthy elite left with money won't be buying 10 million units of each.

We need to transition away from the current economic system real soon, or suffer massive riots and the downfall of our culture as unemployed people riot and take it down for us.

We need a way to spread the wealth out a little more evenly. UBI is one way, and we're getting really close to the point where UBI will be cheaper than the cost of government assistance plus the lost cost of higher crime and prison for the poor.

First of all, taxing the wealthy elite to fund UBI appears to be just about the only way to fund it, and we all know how easy it is to extract taxes from them today. This is is the first challenge of UBI, and it's a considerable one.

The little taxes you do succeed to extract will be so obscenely small that UBI will be Welfare 2.0 for the unemployable masses and not a penny more, confirming my initial statement regarding disposable income and goods and services. Those currently on welfare are not exactly living a glamorous lifestyle. As an example of the impact, Apple is one of largest corporations on the planet, and sells tens of millions of units, but essentially makes nothing that would be considered an affordable necessity for those barely able to fund their sustenance.

Perhaps taxing the robots and using the money to fund the rest of UBI would work.

Taxing the robots is taxing the wealthy elite. I've already described how that will work out. They'll lobby to maintain tax havens and loopholes, and lobby to pay the bare minimum. And they will succeed, much like they do today.

We could also lower the SS retirement age, or go to a 4-day work week.

To do what, drain it even faster, and accelerate it's already predicted death? Automation seeks to remove the human worker altogether, so there won't be a 4-day work week. It will be a 0-day work week for the unemployable masses.

Lots of options, many would work or could be made to work.

But we have to start transitioning just about now, or risk the downfall of our culture.

Many won't work. Greed N. Corruption is the CEO of capitalism now. Solve for that issue first, and then you might have a chance. Probably not though. Eat the Rich might be one option after the downfall.

I would rather actually fund education so more people would be qualified for work beyond being a meat-part in a machine, doing the same thing over and over again for days, months, years.

That was a good idea in previous decades.

Currently the number of jobs is shrinking, while the workforce is not(*). it's already causing a lot of stress in our society, and probably one reason for the recent election results.

The system was able to soak up some of the excess - the meme of children living with their parents until well into adulthood is one result - but it's starting to show signs of saturation. The burgeoning debt of education versus finding a job, currently being a topic of concern, is one bit of evidence.

Training and education are certainly important, but it doesn't address the problem. It'll only result in educated unemployed.
We need a way to support non-workers in our society, and pretty quick.

(*) Roughly speaking, population is remaining steady. Meanwhile, productivity keeps rising.

US production per worker is currently about $58,000, and seems to be going up by $10,000 per decade.

You asked for it. https://play.google.com/store/...

As John W. Campbell, Jr. once said, if a story tries to predict all the advances that are likely, it will be unintelligible. Even if you could correctly predict how everything would change, to do so would be a horrendous mistake for an author, because nobody (including the editor) would understand the story.

I've got to admit that I don't remember blade-runner, it didn't really impress me. The pictures were nice, but the projected future was trite. (OTOH, I've been reading Science Fiction since the 1950's, and so am not the target audience.) So this is a criticism of the point made in the summary.

That said, if you want to understand how poorly we can predict things, look at "A Logic Named Joe" https://www.google.com/search?... for an early guess as what the internet might be like if it were ever invented. There the internet is an important background element that's reasonably well developed, not just something incidental, but also not the central story element. If you want to understand why, read Ray Kurtzweil's "The Age of Spiritual Machines". (That was written long enough ago that you can judge how valid you think his arguments are.)

But the real thing is, when making predictions we tend to predict things that we currently feel are important, whether good or bad, but a lot of the decisions are made by other people who see other possibilities. Henry Ford never set out to revise the sexual mores of the world, but that's one of the things he did.

Isn't this the same type of conditions that Google applies for Android on the PlayStore? I am not saying this makes Apple innocent, just that this seems to be generally the same across mobile platforms.

This page says this about Android apps:

For applications and in-app products that you offer on Google Play, the transaction fee is equivalent to 30% of the price.

You receive 70% of the payment. The remaining 30% goes to the distribution partner and operating fees.

Heck, when a developer sold an app via the old brick and mortar stores, they were probably lucky to get 50%.

"A Better Deal" is just the same Democrat talking points rehashed with a hash tag: $15 minimum wage, tax businesses, healthcare, blahblahblah. There's a plan, and it's everything they've been saying with new paint.

I'm going to be the black sheep of the party if I somehow manage to get elected (hoping Elijah goes to senate; would hate to see him bail out this round due to his health issues, even if I can't beat him in the primaries). My core platform is a Universal Social Security plan, which hits every end goal, but not in ways the other party members like.

Universal Social Security completely-restructures our welfare system to get more aid to more households. I built models to show how the money moves around and what services get adjusted. It cuts out some expenses equivalent to 48% of the taxes taken by income (including all FICA taxes), drops a 15% tax on the new tax brackets, and then redistributes that 15% take to all adults. I built Social Security's current OASDI benefits, HUD housing assistance, WIC, and parts of TANF (childcare aid, basic aid, and administrative costs) back up on top of that.

So let's talk about this a bit.

The benefit pays out twice monthly (close to your paycheck cycle) to come as close to just not taking some of your taxes as possible. I thought about deducting it right from payroll owe, but that involves a hell of a lot of reporting and synchronization between every single payroll operation and the IRS and Social Security Administration, so not doing that.

Across the top 20% of earners, it should take in about $750 million and pay out something like $500 million? I'm not entirely sure: I need the total adult householders and adult dependent household members in that bracket (not just households) and a report on the total FICA tax paid by that group to get a precise number. When you get to the bottom bracket, it's pretty much $64 million in, $500 million out. Until you get to the top 40% or so, you're still dealing with people paying in less for that 15% tax than they're getting back; with joint-filing 2-adult households, you have to get up to the top 15%.

In other words: the middle-class gets more out of it than they pay in; and it's an enormous aid package on the poor, so much so that a single individual in 2016 gets $8,751/year and a 2-adult household gets $17,502/year--and it's not counted as income for tax purposes (we taxed it before we took it from everyone; we're not double-taxing it). That can pretty much replace the Federal proportion of unemployment insurance; and, from that basis, things like housing assistance, WIC, and TANF are cheaper to provide, simply because the financial position of households is improved (they're not as poor, so they don't need as much aid--same means-testing we do today).

As well, Social Security's OASDI program promises to pay $X dollars in retirement, disability, and so forth. I put the payroll/FICA tax back at 5.3% (only needs to be 5.15%) instead of 6.2%, with nothing coming out of your paycheck. If you were going to get, say, $1,200/month, you now get e.g. $800/month Universal plus $400/month retirement, meeting the $1,200/month as promised. Social Security reported at the end of 2017 that the Trust would be insolvent in 2034; well it's now solvent forever.

The Universal benefit grew by 8% in my model since 2013, by the way. OASDI grew by 6.72% in the same period; the retirement benefit grew by 5.1%. That 5.3% FICA can actually shrink over time, because I'll eventually overtake OASDI--without tax increases.

What's not to like?

The burden on the upper incomes is cut back. The top tax bracket is 35.8% instead of 39.6%. It's just an artifact of the raw number manipulation. The business income taxes are cut to 33.2% from 35%. Democrats generally don't like this.

Minimum wage doesn't pay a minimum monthly wage for the underemployed. I'm guaranteeing a mo

Okay, so, I usually do a 15-20 page write-up to explain the financial models behind the Universal Social Security framework. This involves a whole lot of numbers, tangential references to the effectiveness of our public aid systems, and so forth. For example: 3/4 of families qualified by the Government for HUD Housing Assistance go on a waiting list and never receive benefits (they never graduate from the waiting list).

While it takes about 2-3 minutes to map out which services I'm restructuring, the cost of those services, how the money gets distributed, how our aid services would build on top of this new foundation, how this new structure immediately improves the financial position of all American households, and how that change in financial position changes (reduces) the amount of aid necessary to provide stability to low-income households, it's possible to display all of this in a 20-30 second animated infographic.

That doesn't even begin to cover the tax impacts (it's lower taxes on individuals, businesses, and payrolls); the explanation for why the system is permanently solvent or why the benefit grows faster than inflation (this requires a crash course in the economics of technical progress); or the quick-check model of comparing the total money moved to Social Security OASDI taxes adjusted to all income and the funding source tax rate used. For the most part, that's all stuff you can display visually in a few seconds with minimal explanation.

A 2-minute video can cover pretty much all the mechanical details, whereas it takes a dozen pages with spreadsheets full of numbers and verbose descriptions of the logical process of manipulating those numbers to get it out in text. By the time you've gotten through it, you've exceeded most people's attention spans. If you've thoroughly read this, the way you'd have to read that sort of dense text to extract any useful information, you've already spent more time than it takes to describe the process thoroughly in video.

There's not a video because I don't have the skill to make one, nor the capitalization to pay someone for one.

The first unix troubleshooting trick I learned was 'telnet to the remote port to see if it is listening/responding'. Of course that was before ssh.

It's still very useful. Most services are text based, and you can generate queries and see the actual unparsed replies, which is a great help in troubleshooting. SMTP and HTTP in particular are often troubleshot with a telnet client.

There's no need to apologize. Medicament is a perfectly usable English word.
Although seldom seen in US street English, it's still very much alive.

So I just ran into this sort of issue with an app... its a simple app.

https://play.google.com/store/...

It's a simple app... stick your phone on silent, and it pops up to ask you how long. The idea that you usually know how long your want your phone to be silent when you put it on silent, and often forget about afterwards.

It requests permission to "take videos and pictures"

WTF right? Why does it need that permission?

"15.3: Fix for interference with video recording apps. To detect when the camera is in use, camera permission is needed. This is optional in Android 6+, but if you don't give permission, Shush! can't tell that you're using the camera, and may pop up during video recording."

FFS ... seriously. And you see this sort of thing all the time. To 'play nice' with the phone and make sure it behaves nicely when you are on the phone, or taking a video, etc... the permission to determine simply whether you are using the camera or phone itself requires you to give the app permission to make calls and take videos. Those basic status APIs should be available without special permission or they should require a separate 'status permission' separate from the ability to make calls or take video.

How are we at version 6 of android, and you still need to give an app permission to take pictures and video just to give it permission to avoid irritating you while you are taking videos with a different app?

https://www.google.com/maps/@3... Me and my dog had all of Yellow Bald Mountain to ourselves right up to just before totality when a family made the climb up also. There was a moment when I had quite the vertigo experience due to the odd light filtering down thru the canopy as the totality ended. My dog would have slept thru the whole thing if I'd let her..... ;p

See subject: Vs. AMT/Intel Mgt. Engine security woes - ports 16992-16995 so filter those ports in a modem/router external to OS/PC. It's what AMT uses.

Once you disable the AMT engine's software interface (ez)? A malware to 'repatch' this = impossible (bios updaters require it in usermode ware, e.g. ASUS).

(Per links in my 'p.s.' below - I only allow 80, 8080 & 443 in/out here on a SINGLE stand-alone system (no home LAN but TCP/IP connected online in BOTH my modem or router port filters or software firewalls))

HOWEVER - Be CERTAIN your modem/router's internal ware is "solid" as well (turn off things like UPnP etc. & CHECK router/modem HAS NO KNOWN BACKDOOR EXPLOITS (tons do unfortunately)) - get it patched ASAP if it's KNOWN exploited & TONS of routers, ARE https://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=9995967&cid=53488785/

GOOD ROUTERS/MODEMS HAVE PORT FILTERING OPTIONS (crappy ones do not)!

* Good luck - it's the BEST EASIEST & CHEAPEST DEFENSE using what you already have (hopefully, again as not ALL modems have port filtering but most do & certainly GOOD ONES DO) vs. this threat by stopping it being able to communicate in/out period, outside of the INTEL chipset, & stopped external to it via a router/firewall hardware.

P.S.=> Per my subject line above - I've LONG suggested port filtering & even farther back than these security guides of mine from 2006 actually https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=%22How+to+Secure+Windows+2000%2FXP%22&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=1/ ... apk

Lots of police departments have dropped tasers because they were paying out so much money for lawsuits because of too many cops abusing their authority.

If that's true, it sounds like our system of checks and balances is working as intended. And other departments, seeing the proverbial heads on the poles, will drop tasers before they too start bleeding cash. That pretty much makes the rest of your comment superfluous.

The first damn step to a fix is to take away immunity. Why is a city (thus the taxpayers) paying out millions in lawsuits when the cop clearly violated the law and written procedures?

That's already how immunity works. I suspect the real reason you're dissatisfied with the current state of affairs is that immunity is determined based on whether or not the officer's conduct "violate[s] clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known." Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U. S. 800 (1982), as opposed to post-hoc determinations by the media, activist groups, and hotshot internet commentators that Something Bad Happened and therefore by definition the officer was in the wrong.

They're not.

It's the exact opposite. A simple google search will show thatright wing violence is 74% more common than left. This shouldn't be surprising. Antifa groups are anarchists. By definition they're unorganized and loose knit. They reject authority on the face of it. The Right OTOH make authority a central plank of their ideology. Better organization leads to more effective violence. That's why militaries use a chain of command instead of voting.

The google search does not given results that say right wing groups are growing. The NPR opinion piece you referred to limits its description of left wing violence to those done by "groups", but compares against all RW violence, individual or group. NPR is not exactly an objective source when it comes to L v R, I guess you know.

IDK I figure it has something to do with it's blacklisting and whitelisting functions.

Https everywhere also requires it and it only works with URLs and it was made by the EFF.

Otherwise "Clever mute" is the only similar one requiring less. I'm aware of.
