I think you're conflating the ability to profit from a region with the ability to hire from a region. You can still get your chunk of that GDP by selling services/goods there even if you don't have employees there.

> Workers clearly have a case of being subject to poor working conditions

How do you know this though? Did you read a couple of articles about the poor working conditions and someone having to urinate in a bottle? Or have you actually gotten out and talked to some of the workers?

I've done the latter and my take (along with that of the workers I chatted with) has been that the media and press are doing what they do best, and exaggerating the issue or at the very least making rare circumstances appear to be the norm.

> they leaked information about 20% of the earth's population

This is straight up false. It was scrapers extracting data from public profiles. They already incorporate anti-scraping techniques, so there's not much they can do other than require every one to set their profile to private.

Inequality seems like a meaningless metric. It's not a good measure of a society's well being.

For example, let's assume a country of 10 where 9 people have $1 million and 1 person has $100 trillion. The inequality is massive but everyone has a great standard of living.

> Another source of lead, unfortunately, is in children's toys.

Yeah this was going to be my question, is where is the lead coming from? Water, toys, what else?

Having a 4 week old, seeing this concerns me so I'd love to do what I can to avoid it.

Just out of curiosity, what was your use case? I've thought about making a SaaS out of this in the past as a side project but not sure who the ideal customer would be.

Here are a few to get you started: https://slate.com/technology/2021/07/noble-lies-covid-fauci-...

Your team allegiance is showing.

Man, this is the definition of "do things that don't scale" but I love the idea. Best of luck!

I would love to hear more about the continuous automated testing aspect of it since I maintain a hundreds of scrapers and run into this problem quite often.

I'm confused by this comment. They both went public two years ago so VCs have all cashed out.

Commission model is going nowhere. Ask anyone who trades for a living. They pay handsomely for direct market access.

It's frankly scary that this line of thinking has become so in vogue. Let's exacerbate the definition of something to the point that it must be censored.

Example:

"takes a disproportionate amount of effort to refute" -> This is a pretty decent definition of toxicity -> Silencing it is really the only effective way to deal with it.

Why is this being flagged? It raises many valid points against Propublica's article which was more misleading than this piece or its title.

Are you saying an opinion piece stating that we should leave open the possibility of a leak is misinformation? That doesn't make any sense.

No, the twitter rules don't make caveats for different positions in society. They are blanket rules that should apply to everyone equally but are not. That's the entire point I'm making.

This is from November 4, 2020 right after the election. She might have been suspended originally in 2017, but wasn't this time and furthermore wasn't banned for repeated breaking of the rules. You can click on the link and still see the tweet.

Imagine if Trump had tweeted a photo of any Democrat's decapitated head, do you think the reaction would have been the same?

It's a continuation of what we've seen by big tech over the past several months and years.

You've got Kathy Griffin tweeting photos a decapitated Trump head (https://twitter.com/kathygriffin/status/1323893513226870786) which gets no penalty or ban. This isn't glorifying violence?

Yet, people on the right are being banned daily without explanation for things much less egregious.

EDIT: if you disagree, maybe try having a conversation instead of downvoting.

For anyone who thought this was just about the recent events, you now know have your answer. It is undoubtedly a political war going on, driven by leftists at Big Tech.

As others have mentioned it could have something to do with cheap being in the domain name.

At this point since you don't have much to lose, it might be worth buying a new domain and 301'ing everything from goodcheapandfast.com to the new one.

You'd pass on most the link juice but lose the bad name.

Same, I've used both phone and chat many times and every time it's been a wonderful experience.

This is sort of table stakes in the SEO world, not end all be all. First you must get these technical details ironed out, and then from there you have to focus on two things that differentiate you from competitors who also have the bases covered: 1. Backlinks - I cannot overstate how much a quality backlink can do. 2. Good content/utility

That's pretty much it but it's obviously easier said than done.

No one seems to be talking about the unintended consequence of this policy(or in this Administration's case a likely intended).

It's the same thing with minimum wage - politicians feel good raising it and for those that remain employed it is a good thing. But it ends up in fewer job opportunities, causing further unemployment.

This looks like a great policy at face value but in the end, it's going to mean many fewer H1B's. This is a win-win for the Trump administration because it looks like they're doing the right thing and perhaps they are, but it's also keeping foreign workers out and providing Americans with more jobs, which is exactly what they want.

Was wondering the same thing myself, found this article from late last year: https://techcrunch.com/2019/12/10/unsplash-for-brands/

TLDR: "working with companies to create branded photos, which will then appear on desirable searches."

My guess would be that pinterest has done a much better job of image indexing than your random DIY blog. I'm not sure what all that entails but if anyone has done research to game the system it would be them.

Even with the Axidraw, it's really hard to produce notes at scale. There are a handful of companies that have built out proprietary machines to do this e.g. https://www.handwrite.io (disclaimer: I'm a cofounder) but as far as I know there aren't any readily available for purchase.

This is great, I was actually considering building out something similar but I'll rely on y'all for now.

The terrible thing about existing solutions, is that all the themes/templates out there are hard to break into pieces without moving a bunch of CSS/JS around and they often lacking in the performance dept bc of all the bloated packages that come with them.

Best of luck, hoping to see many more blocks!

With the advent of new frameworks like React (7 years old now) and Angular, jQuery has become less and less used. Anecdotally, I have interviewed at 7 or 8 companies over the last 7ish years and only one still used jQuery, and they were moving away from it.

One is voluntary, the other is not.
