LLMs would then license content from news orgs and other publishers, which is what should happen.

I think the problem is that when Archive.org has access to NYT and other publisher content, people can scrape NYT content at scale from Archive.org even when they cannot do so dire…

Cloudflare is most active in pushing standards, and highlighting the issue of bots scraping web pages for free. That said, the other major CDNs (e.g. Akamai, Fastly) also have Bot …

Maybe ban AI-generated responses from users, but post AI-generated responses (generated by HN) that are clearly marked as generated, that can be upvoted by users. These responses c…

BuiltWith says that the CMS used at forums.lenovo.com is from Lithium Technologies, and it was first detected in July, 2012. I'm not sure if this is the forum software, or somethin…

But.. that's what I want! e.g. 1C flour = 120g, 1C sugar = 200g. If you parse the recipe, it cannot be that hard to do a conversion based on ingredient, and such a value add!

Since OnlyRecipe.app is already parsing the recipe site, it would be a great feature to allow conversion to weights from volume (e.g. show 120g of flour vs. 1c of flour). Also, all…

I used it a few years ago with my former company. It effortlessly injected 10K rows of data per second, and we configured Druid over 50 dimensions and about 20 different metrics. I…

I have equal amounts of friends (in NYC) talking about their early stage startup investments (Doubleclick! Pinterest!) or their successful stock investments - e.g. the Facebook IPO…

Your assumption is that they are accepting the ICE contract despite their moral values. Maybe they do not see a conflict.

Increasingly people (esp. Millennials) consider ethics and values toward the top when deciding whether to purchase or use a product. Why wouldn't they get together and shame a comp…

Agree. I have used the term "incrementality" to communicate the incremental benefit of a given ad compared to a control whereas the article uses "advertising effect". Measurement i…

I think that many people who work in ad tech are in favour of GDPR. They have seen the mishandling of personal data on a massive scale first hand. This is true in my case.

London did this a while ago and traveling around the city is much more pleasant. There is a case to be made that a congestion charge makes a city more habitable.

Look at the changes that have occurred with Washington Post in the five years since Bezos bought them. Pretty clear that WaPo benefitted from Bezos' leadership. https://www.fool.co…

Its good to see such development in i2p. Anoncoin/Anoncash uses this protocol as well.

I think that the value is "adding another provider" to the market, where in many places there is only one or two choices for internet, from entrenched providers with low levels of …

You should thank USV for funding the companies (like Soundcloud) so that they can give you a few years of a free (e.g. money-losing) service.

The goal is for display ads to not suck to the point where Adblock, Adblock Plus, and Ghostery are required. For better or worse, advertising pays for the salaries of the people wh…

Second this. Seems like the second most important thing behind the movie ranking is its availability on Netflix, Amazon, AppleTV - e.g. I want to find the best ranked movie on Netf…

Shipping an MVP with the most basic UI that gets JSON data from the server is fast and usable. It was difficult to do this in the past, because browsers could not support the data …
