You bring your own channels, so you may be misunderstanding.

Nice, you should probably explain what traefik, sops and age will do. First time I've heard of sops, very handy!

Absolutely! Being dyslexic, Grammarly is much more than the AI tool that was recently added, which is great, too.

It says does it not, social engineering. Getting access to there discord, etc..

A skill in itself but not 0day or anything.

I imagine that is because Microsoft bends the knee and pays fines to Europe every few years and complies with its orders. The Microsoft software/services the USA see's is different to the Microsoft Software/Services the EU sees.

I don't think launching an MVP (which this was) works when there is such a large established monopoly your trying to disrupt. Especially as the MVP offers nothing new?

New comment by funshed in "Gannett CEO: Here's why we are suing Google for deceptive business practices"

funshed — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 16:06:39 +0000

"In 2022, Google made upward of $30 billion in revenue from the sale of ad space on publishers’ websites. That was six times the digital advertising revenue of all U.S. news publications, combined. In a functioning market, no one would expect the middleman to make more than the content creator."

Do they think the only "publishers" are "us news publications" or just purposely misleading readers?

CloudFlare Domains is better, a core business of CloudFlare and google would have to invest to compete. Which on the revenue does not make sense.

New comment by funshed in "Ask HN: Is Content Marketing Dead? The Rise of AI Search Moats"

Harsh, no. I'm finding myself more in agreement more than ever. The future is "added value" such as making tools available, not just a answering questions with a CTA to your product/service.

Ask HN: Is Content Marketing Dead? The Rise of AI Search Moats

funshed — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 15:37:25 +0000

As more and more users turn to search engines like Google and Bing for answers to their questions, the role of content marketing in driving website traffic is being called into question. With the rise of AI-powered search engines, even fresh and informative content may no longer be enough to draw users to a website.

In fact, some argue that writing articles to answer user questions may now be futile, as AI can provide the same information instantly and without the need for users to visit a website. Bing AI, for instance, can scrape live content and present it directly in search results, effectively bypassing the website altogether.

So, does this mean content marketing is dead? Not necessarily. While traditional forms of content marketing may no longer be as effective, there are still avenues that can be explored?

But it's clear that content marketers need to adapt to the changing landscape of AI-powered search engines.

What are your thoughts on the state of content marketing? Is it dead, or is there still a place for it in the age of AI?

If it's dead, won't AI's knowledge stagnate. That doesn't open an opportunity because as soon as it exists Bing can scrape it.

No, but I did think about it on a sleepless night ounce. Drones were not around when Google started street view. If they launched today, id envision a 'charging & control van' and several AI drones.

Count down the number of people in each country, send that amount to the government contracted to only be spent only on reducing national debt.

Has same effect? Perhaps greater as not only reducing debt but interest the people's taxes had to fund.
