The problem is that your whole family has to be not dumb enough.

Yeah, that is just how youtube works. You as an individual can say you don’t like annoying thumbnails and titles, but they 100% work. And channels that don’t use them are just not getting as many viewers.

More often than not that is corporate speak for “we fired the old team and replaced them with cheaper workers. And we didn’t want to pay them to learn the old code/they tried but failed, so we are dumping features now”

Missed to change the legend to “North Canada” or just simply “Canada”

Has Golang fizzled? It has struck me as too primitive, but basically on the right track.

My biggest issue with Golang by far is the close tie to Google. They are not our friendly innovator, time and time again they make decisions that will help them earn more ad money, and nothing else. And they have a lobg history of releasing something and then never fix the issues with it, and then more or less abandon it.

Other than that there are afaik some other issues with go, I’m not an expert but from what I hear the GC is quite aggressive and you can’t tell it to run when you want. Doing something time sensitive? Well, bad luck. GC time!

It sort if have to be. In the end there has to be one source of truth for each TLD, otherwise who is to say who owns foo.com, and what it resolves to?

And then the same structure for assigning TLD ownership.

But there is nothing stopping you from running another DNS service, call it DNS2 with different root servers, etc. It is just going to be extemely hard to convince people to use it.

I never recline my seat, but if I was sitting infront of that guy I would move it down for a bit. Then up again. Then down again. Etc for however long the flight is

Yes, but it is also very different. I have a VR headset and use it every now and then. But compared to “normal” gaming it is quite different.

When playing a non-VR game you can just minimize the game and check stuff between rounds/matches/when you pause/etc. With VR I feel like you have to be there all the time, and the headsets are still heavy so you can’t play as long. Not to mention you are usually standing.

I like VR and think it will be good eventually, but it is not there yet. It is 100% playable as it is, but the overall tech is not quite there yet.

The first half of the page is AI/ads, and the rest is SEO optimized trash.

If any other search engine was worth any time, then those would be full of SEO as well. SEO is a huge buisness and as long as people just click on the first or second links (yes, they do) then it will continue.

Google and other search engines can try to combat it but as long as the money involved are good, it will not go away.

This is just gambling, betting that you’ll cash out before everyone else, but after the price has run up.

Even worse, it is unregulated gambling. In normal gambling there are rules. Yes, the house will always win in the long run as the odds are in their favor, but the game is set up in a transparent way and doesn’t change half way through.

Also the original idea of cryptocurrency was never speculation and cashing out. But sadly it has turned into that in 99% of the time.

Nah, just don’t play the AAA bullshit. It is not worth your time to pirate

Meanwhile, .tech exists and is not country-specific but is far less popular for some reason.

Simple answer: length.

Two chars look a lot better than something with more chars, and all two chars TLD are ccTLDs.

No, it isn’t.

There are different names for different airlines, like economy plus or extra. Usually it means something like a bit bigger seats (usually not lie flat though), a less crowded section, better food, etc.

Re: Downvote bots. I can’t say they’re necessarily bots, but my instance has scripts that flag accounts that exclusively give out downvotes and then bans them. That’s about the best I can do, at present, to counter those for my users.

It is usually not a good idea to specify what your exact metrics are for a ban. A bad actor could see that and then get around it by randomly upvoting something every now and then.

There is a reason clickbait images and titles are used, they work. If they didn’t work, no one would use them.
