The point is that the page rank algorithm just reflects the consensus of other sites on the web. If you don't like that consensus, you should take it up with all of those sources.

Shudup boy, this is for your own good.
Boy? LOL.
I'm an admin. I don't want to be excited about startup managers. If I get excited by init, it means something is broken.
Yes, the lack of detailed status information about init-managed process is something that is broken in traditional init systems, so it's fine to get excited by the fact that systemd fixes this brokenness.
Facts don't matter, but what does matter is the chance to spread fact less based hype and pass it off as some type accepted fact. Rather, just smoke from an anti nuke agenda driven organization.
Given the recent discovery that water is much more of an issue than originally thought for the tough rock at Yucca Mountain
Heh. Well, if your goal is to spread fact-less hype, you should be careful not to include blindingly obvious errors in your summary. As soon as I hit "Utah" in the summary, I stopped reading.
I Don't Want SystemD.
FTFY. I've been quite impressed with it.
systemd is modular, that is in the list of debunked myths.
Yes, it is. However, the Debian guys who looked hard at it felt that it was going to be difficult to separate reliance on the login and network and volume management components which the DEs are building from the system startup component.
Google certainly doesn't have heuristics that try to pick out negative stories and highlight them.
Of coursen not, and I never said it has. However, it is the page rank algorithm that results in this selection, so Google is not entirely uninvolved.
I disagree, the page rank algorithm is content-agnostic. It just reflects aggregate interest in content. Your problem is with the sources, not the index.
Not that it makes much difference, but the Yucca Mountain site is in Nevada, not Utah.
I think it's fair to say that this fork is far more significant.
I think this fork will be fairly insignificant, and, further, that it will increasingly run into problems as desktops and other packages depend more and more on systemd components (that trend was one of the major factors in the Debian decision to adopt it).
I actually wish the Devuan guys all the best; I'd love to see another solid server-focused distro (server focus may help them avoid the issues with DEs). But I'm really glad to hear about this fork because the systemd debate has been a huge distraction to Debian. Hopefully this will finally put it to bed as all of the systemd opponents leave Debian for Devuan. I think that will be a net win for Debian because most of the vocal opponents don't contribute much code anyway.
Personally, the more I learn about systemd, the more I like the ideas behind it, and both code and documentation seem to be of high quality (documentation in particular is much better than is typical of open source projects). I'll be sticking with Debian.
I may not have been clear enough.
The news websites in question may all have put up all the information, including - in my example - your acquittal.
But due to the way Google page rank works, only the "arrest for child porn" headlines show up on the first 20 pages for your name.
That is a problem of Google's making, not of the news sites.
Nonsense. The reason Google ranks the arrest headlines higher is because there are a lot more of them, and they're more heavily linked. The news sites find the acquittal boring and either don't report it or bury it, so it shows up lower in the search rankings. Google certainly doesn't have heuristics that try to pick out negative stories and highlight them.
The Internet is full of half-truths and outright lies. Search engines do not deliver results based on the truth value of sites, but on popularity, page ranking and such.
That has nothing to do with this. If someone has put lies about you up on a news site, you can and should be able to get that information taken down at the source. In fact, dealing with defamatory writing is something we figured out how to do long ago. It's called "libel" and there are all sorts of laws around it.
The "right to be forgotten" isn't about taking down false or misleading information. It's about suppressing accurate but unpleasant truth.
removed the top plastic layer, exposing the recording medium beneath; cast a mold of the quasi-random pattern; and then used the mold to create a photovoltaic cell with the same pattern
So you use your expensive photo lithography equipment to create a master, make as many molds from that as you like, and then create the photovoltaic cells from those. The mass production of BD-ROM discs is irrelevant, it just makes your master cheap, but when you're making 10,000s of cells the cost of the master is unimportant.
Sure, but the cost is very relevant when you're doing research. This Blu-Ray disc experiment demonstrates that the theoretical work done previously will probably work as well as the theory predicts.
Especially for side to side movements.
The AC gave the more authoritative answer, but for a more intuitive one spend some time playing with blocks of jello.
Unfortunately the resonance frequency of buildings is not affected by hight but by the length and the width of the building.
Not for side-to-side movements.
