Google search is losing the fight with SEO spam, study says
  • True, if you look at YouTube, it's been getting worse and worse over time and yet people still go there, but that's also due to there being not that many good alternatives that have a bunch of content. Google has a ton of other good alternatives to compete with, so they're betting on the laziness factor and probably that people don't know better.

  • Google search is losing the fight with SEO spam, study says
  • With the end result of enshittification, people will migrate if their experience is bad enough. Google wants to strike a balance between making as much money as humanly possible and making the search experience at least decent enough to retain the majority of their users.

  • Oregon employers rarely pay penalties for wage theft. The state wants that to change
  • Bad TL;DR:

    Employers rarely get penalized for wage theft, because they settle often, especially because employees are encouraged to settle because 1) they get their money faster and 2) because the odds of the company paying go down if they don't settle.

    Oregon wants to discourage companies from their current bad behavior because at the moment there's very little to dissuade a company from not paying and then settling, especially because they avoid any repercussions.

  • How might a court prove someone intended to eat something?
  • I have no experience in world building or legal stuff, but I would imagine proof might be part of the actions leading up to said event, such as planning and preparing to execute said plan.

    Then, disproving might be showing a chain of events that might lead to an accidental predation.

  • Sony's New Technology Would Adapt Game Difficulty to a Player's Skill Level
  • I think if this is implemented properly, both players should be acting like the trophy was a challenge to get, even rating it the same difficulty.

    I'm imagining in game like Hollow Knight, boss fights have movesets, and given your internal difficulty score', harder/more varied movesets can be used.

    It would be beneficial for people who don't have much experience with platformers/fighting games, and gives experienced players a challenge.

  • Real Talk: Why Is Datadog So Expensive?
  • All due respect (which is none), I don't care what you think. Plus, this isn't even an ad for Splunk, which you'd know if you actually read the article.

    Edit: Also, it actually straight up says that the article writer works for a competitor. Braindead comment.

  • Real Talk: Why Is Datadog So Expensive?
  • I just read the article, it's actually pretty interesting.

    The TL;DR is that there is so much observable data out there (exponentially more than expected), that Datadog, which isn't optimized to deal with that, caused their prices to need to hike.

    There are two options listed as alternatives:

    1. Self host but it might not be cheaper
    2. Buy into a company that is from the ground up focusing on dealing with that massive amount of data.
  • beginner issues, how to identify cause?
  • I will second the drying filament statement. It's genuinely shocking the difference it can make. Pretty much every metric is improved by using properly dried filament.

    There are also food dehydrator mods out there on thingiverse/printables to convert a cylindrical dehydrator to work for filament without butchering the stands that come with it. Plus side is you can also make beef jerky with it :P

  • Russian consumers feel themselves in a tight spot as high inflation persists
  • I think it's funny that you think any country will have even 5% of their population actually come out and protest ANYTHING.

    I did some googling and in the US, the 2017 women's march was the largest march in US history with a whopping... 1.7% population participation.

    And yes, there are some protests that had a big portion of their populations come out. Take 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests. Roughly 2 million people came out and protested, roughly over a quarter of the population. And you know what happened? Nothing. People were beaten, died, and China still got Hong Kong. And this was while there was still some local control of HK. Keep in mind, this is a people DEFENDING THEIR COUNTRY from an effective HOSTILE TAKEOVER and they got a quarter. A war taking .2%? Even if 1% were impacted, there's no shot people are going to risk protesting when the world is doing that for them.

  • Working 12mm Allen bit, successfully tested to 5Nm
  • I don't think the tolerances would be too bad. A lot of prints that have tight tolerances have a test piece that you print and test against a known object, which let's you adjust your print to get tighter tolerances. Once you correct for the expansion of the plastic, getting the right tolerances should be totally doable.

  • Scientists use Raspberry Pi tech to protect NASA telescope data
  • I think as an initial go, I would recommend just getting raspbian/Linux in general onto a pi or other board, and messing with the CLI. Just having a pi and being comfortable trying things out is huge. Plus, with it being on a micro SD card, you can very easily break things and wipe the card and recreate your setup.

  • Maybe (HBO) Max Just Isn’t Worth It
  • It's an insight because many people can't drop thousands on top of the line gear. Yes streaming is expensive, but if a family has disposable income, odds are they're going to go for the lower hanging fruit and just get the streaming package, because the alternative is saving for X months/years for parts that are going to be useful, yes, but also completely wipe out savings.

  • Scientists use Raspberry Pi tech to protect NASA telescope data
  • I feel that. One of my first raspberry pi projects was a magic mirror, it's basically a pi hooked up to a display and you can program in modules to display custom data, like a weather forecast for your area along with your Google calendar showing the upcoming appointments.

    I'd say a raspberry pi 4B with at least 2GB of ram is fine, but upping the ram will let you do more with it.

    Docker projects are also fun, like making a pihole.

    These projects have lots of documentation and support, so you're always a Google search away from help.

  • Maybe (HBO) Max Just Isn’t Worth It
  • I commend you on taking your own entertainment in your hands, but I also find it ironic that you cancelled your streaming services which cost nowhere near 4 grand. If you drop 50 a month on subscriptions, it would take about 6.6 years to spend 4 grand, but it's much more complex than that and I totally think that a gaming setup is worth so much more than streaming so I get it.

  • TikTok Is Shutting Down its $2 Billion Creator Fund
  • I'm not sure it'll create a vacuum, though. Sure, some creators will leave but overall I think the content will just decrease in quality as the main motivating factor shifts from actual good content to pushing viewers into other methods of monetization.
