It should probably read corporate journalists are not journalists. To be one a journalist one must serve the truth but to remain employed by corporation means you have to accept some truths that aren't and reject others thar are.


The best is to remember this reporter and newspaper and trust them less.


Really, why does anyone take the NYT seriously anymore? It seems that barely a week goes by these days without some new way in which they discredit themselves. If you were a conservative "anti-woke" mole who'd infiltrated the NYT and wanted to publish fake content in a deliberate attempt to destroy the organisation's credibility you couldn't have done much better than the self-inflicted wounds the NYT has been pouring out again and again and again lately.


> why does anyone take the NYT seriously anymore

Does anyone? I’m not sure credible people do and no one I respect has referenced a Times article for other than crossword, Sunday magazine, fluff stuff.


An even better approach would be to distrust all reporters and newspapers and remember the exceptional good ones.


Do you recommend these treatments?

Acupuncture, massage, biofeedback therapy, laser therapy, electrical nerve stimulation and other nonsurgical spine treatments


Why the focus on oral? Ubiome had a great product that worked on fecal sample to determine what bacteria's are present in the intestines.

Do you see your company expanding into that area?


Our core technology is based around the oral microbiome for a number of key reasons.

1. decades of research have shown causal relationships between the oral microbiome and preventable gum disease. 2. the oral microbiome is much lower in diversity than the fecal microbiome, granting the opportunity for the development of relatively low-cost diagnostics that leverage the microbiome. 3. new and exciting studies have shown correlations between the oral microbiome and a number of systemic health indications, which we hope to continue to uncover with our platform.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn Azure was paid (either money or developer time) and this is happening for other products. I would think twice before using Azure if I was concerned about my usage being shared.


It is. For example I've warned others about the eula shipped with Dell systems with Linux (Ubuntu) on them for similar reasons... and encourage people to do their own installion of images (containerized or otherwise).


Use the minimal amount of resources and scale up. If you need mostly random don't force cryptographic level random. It adds unnecessary processor cycles and reduces speed.


I benchmarked it, and AES-CTR is faster than `random()` on a machine with AES-NI.

That's my main point: It does _not_ seem to be meaningfully more expensive to use cryptographic randomness. Yes, you could build a faster non-cryptographic PRNG, but that's not what is done by the default library.


The anti apple ads were run here:

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post

There aren't any anti-apple ads in your google amp link. Not even when I load them up in amp-player. Maybe macobserver.com fixed it, but I doubt it.


Is all of your content pulled via javascript? Could a server side language prerendering the content be part of your solution. You can still use javascript for everything else just not the content.


That's like dropping support for firefox or edge or safari

Chrome 69.28% Edge 7.75% Firefox 7.48% Internet Explorer 5.21% Safari 3.73% QQ 1.96% Sogou Explorer 1.73% Opera 1.12% Yandex 0.90% UC Browser 0.37%


IE isn't even in the top 6 in any of the regions you can click on this website: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/all/europe.

I feel sorry for the people who continue working on IE because they think it's just as important as Edge/Safari/Firefox. :(


I have it at #4 in the desktop category basically on par with edge / firefox and almost double safari.

Important or not, if your big corporate customers are willing to pay you big bucks to support it, how can you refuse? But yes, it does feel very counterproductive, and even more so over time, when you see that more and more of the popular libs drop support for ES5.


Wheelchair users are not even close to 1% of the population. Would you tell a person in a wheelchair to just use their legs when at your establishment?


I created an ebook[1] and made about $2,000 in the real estate category. Getting it written, transformed into an ebook format and in the amazon / smashworld store altogether took a christmas break 1 1/2 weeks.

My secret was I didn't write more than 5% of the book. 95% came from discussion posts written over the years on one of my website forums.

I still get orders.. I'm still in the top 500 small business / real estate books in canada. This was written in the 2012 and lives on.

I would encourage everyone to publish at least one book. But don't actually write it yourself that's insane amount of work for the expected return.

I hesitate to ask, but what’s the copyright status of the material written by people other than you which you’re publishing and charging money for? Did your web site forum terms say the user assigned their copyright to you?


Interesting point and in my case yes and all writing is attributed to the person who wrote it in print. And everyone got a book and a special private forum. In a way it was a community effort of mostly old timers who were there in the beginning.

I'm curious about your point of view. What is your take on these.

- If someone posts something in your forum. Can you legally repost in twitter saying.. so and so just posted?

- When you post in a public forum do you automatically assign the copyright as public domain by virtue of where you posted and who can see it?

- Facebook owns all of the content you post (pictures/posts/videos). Doesn't this apply to all/most sites with user generated content?


> If someone posts something in your forum. Can you legally repost in twitter saying.. so and so just posted?

It may constitute fair use. Publishing their work in a book and profiting from it is another story.

> When you post in a public forum do you automatically assign the copyright as public domain by virtue of where you posted and who can see it?

No.

> Facebook owns all of the content you post (pictures/posts/videos).

As the sibling says, they do not.

> Doesn't this apply to all/most sites with user generated content?

No. A given website may state that as a condition of its use, users must assign copyright to anything they post to the owners of the company. This is not a common condition.


- Facebook owns all of the content you post (pictures/posts/videos). Doesn't this apply to all/most sites with user generated content?

I don't think this is technically true. https://www.copytrack.com/does-facebook-own-my-pictures/ Basically their terms of service say that you give them the right to distribute it. It specifically says they don't own it.


- If someone posts something in your forum. Can you legally repost in twitter saying.. so and so just posted?

- When you post in a public forum do you automatically assign the copyright as public domain by virtue of where you posted and who can see it?

What is the difference between them posting on your forum and them posting on their on blog/site? Both are visible to the public. If you have some policy written "anything posted here becomes public domain" when maybe but if you don't I suspect it's at best undecided and at worst, "no, it is not okay to repost"


and here is one of two reviews (the other one isn't so good either).

"This is the worst book I have ever read. Not organized, inconsistent tabs, incorrect spelling, punctuation, and grammar.

Many of the points on tax sales are not fully explained and the reader is left with gaping holes in understanding the tax sale process. Some of the points are incorrect on how the tax sale process works.

I would not recommend this kindle to anyone, especially someone someone looking for guidance on the tax sale process. Perhaps this kindle could be useful in an English class as an example of what not to do."


Conversation style is not for everyone.

A lot of people want a step by step guide with easy to understand rules and clear steps.

I read those types of guide books when I got started and many exist. When I tried to follow them in real life they missed so glossed over so many other problems or situations that can come up. The knowledge of local rules and past experiences and sound judgement was lacking. I found the best way to learn was from conversations in coffee shops / outside auctions from people who have been doing this for years.

This book tries to copy that style with a focus around specific topics that come up. Raw knowledge, warts and all.
