Just don’t queue an hour at Mustafa's - it’s good Kebap, but it’s not that extraordinary. Rüya(m), Superhahn or Servet's make the same style of Gemüsekebap and are just as good.
Hey, my friend moved to Berlin 2 years ago and he takes everyone to Mustafa - is this a tourist attraction / internet one? I don't know why he does this, the kebap is original but nothing special tastewise.
Why go to Germany to get a Turkish meal? Any kebab in Istanbul is going to be better than whatever is available in Berlin. Better get some Schweinshaxe mit Sauerkraut...
Okay I am German and I can tell you I don't know anyone who prefers Schweinshaxe to a good döner kebab. Which by the way, funnily enough, was invented in Germany by Kadir Nurman, a Berliner!
It's basically our national dish at this point and we're arguably better off for it. Our more traditional cuisine is... not so great.
It's still the döner kebab one could buy earlier anywhere in Turkey or MEA just adapted to European city life with different customs and technology. When in Germany visitors should instead taste local dishes not available anywhere else even if they taste weird/bland.
As annoying as it is, I remember a channel I subscribed to once mentioned that they did a little AB experimentation and turns out “surprised face” thumbnails do actually attract more views.
I don't doubt that at all. But that's turned into way too many creators using it as the default expression in every thumbnail. I remember visiting a true crime channel and all their videos had the same face....
When you are able to log in, you then see who are related to you as well. I believe the news sites use those inflated numbers to make it more dramatic.
They already release the 7 million people's data - to the same extent the hackers got it - to anyone who manages to upload a sufficiently similar genome. There's no additional data privacy concern in releasing it to hackers or Equifax or the FBI or 4chan or the Washington Post. 23andMe limit access to it for commercial reasons, not privacy ones.
But you only have one genome, so you will only ever see a very small subset of that 7 million (I’m assuming that’s how it works, I’ve never used the service). Now you have access to 7 million records at the same time, which is much more powerful in terms of what you can do with that data.
More powerful, but mostly you can do good things, like genealogical research, not bad things, like identity fraud or credit card theft (which you could do if you compromised the 7 million accounts individually).
It's better for the world that that kind of aggregate data is public where anyone can use it, rather than exploited by 23andMe or sold only through data brokers.
Ah, but then it's not like you get all of the data, just the names that are often fake anyway no? I mean I don't know anyone who used 23 and me under their real name.
You might be right but even my non-technical 50 years old friend who decided to use 23 and me with her sister to see if they shared the same father, did it with a fake name.
From what I read, people got their credentials breached on some other websites. Hackers then somehow used those same credentials to log in to 23andMe.
I see that 23andMe could’ve forced MFA, or have a better brute force protection for sure but seems like 23andMe themselves didn’t breach any passwords at least.
I tell my wife that she and I always end up together in every multiverse, including the one where our relationship somehow causes that universe to collapse on itself (also that’s the same one where Hacker News is implemented as ASP.Net app)
Reading the article is pure folly! They'll steal your IP address, inject silly JavaScript into your hypertext markup interpreter, render their text in unpleasing typefaces and suboptimal contrast, hold you ransom with cookie popups or paywalls... One must protect oneself. The only way to safely interact with the world wide web (called "web" because it's a trap like a spider web!) is to gleen what you can 2nd hand, from the hackernews comments.
Joking around tends to earn downvotes, and that's okay --preferable, even. Your approach is quite common, I think. I very often look at comments first, too, depending on the topic & source. The only time skipping the article is any kind of issue is when people start engaging in the comments without proper context.
I do this sometimes, usually when the topic seems interesting, but I'm not familiar with it, so I don't know if it's worth spending time reading the whole article. By voting up, I hope that it will remain on the home page longer, so that people will notice it and comment on it. Then, if many people comment and if the comments look interesting, I might read the main article.
Unfortunately it was above head height, and I had it half dismantled (‘What are all these pine needles doing up here?! And - wait - capacitors?!’) before I realized what it was.
Ya maybe you are right. I don't know what's the best way to optimize for that. I'm not a YouTuber. I guess beginner friendly channels have a higher subscriber count?
