Dumb argument. That's just your opinion. You can't know what people would or wouldn't buy.

It would overwhelm the market but more choice would mean more purchases, but I guess not enough to bother.

Here are several open-source GitHub projects that implement time-series or outlier / anomaly detection — you can adapt them to detect “posts with likes >> expected trend” on a feed. I grouped them by suitability for your use (simple time-series, streaming, advanced / ML).

✅ Good GitHub projects for outlier detection in time series / counts (e.g. likes)

In addition — for a broader survey / catalogue rather than a single tool — awesome‑TS‑anomaly‑detection provides a curated list of many libraries, datasets, and resources; comes in handy if you want to explore multiple methods to find the one that works best. (GitHub)

🔎 Which to pick for “post-likes outlier” detection and why

• If you want quick, simple detection (e.g. flag posts with likes greatly above rolling/trend average), start with ADTK — its rolling/threshold/seasonal detectors match well to a time-series of “likes per post over time.”
• If you anticipate more complex patterns (daily cycles, seasonal variation, bursts) or want an automated pipeline, TODS or dtaianomaly give more flexibility and power.
• If you prefer forecast-based residual analysis (compute expected likes via forecasting, then detect residual spikes), chic-ts-outlierdetect is a good fit.
• If you want tried-and-true classical statistical methods (less dependency, simpler code), Outlier-Detection (AdysTech) is a minimalist alternative.

The pyramids where built by slaves.

Right after 9/11, before they got the memo, how TV channels kept saying first responders had heard a bomb in the base of the building and later they all started saying it collapsed due to structural damage from the plane impact, and it just got accepted with no one bothering to question it. This was prior to the investigations so they couldn't possibly have known.

Cooked ham is healthy. I think people have truly believed the ads in that case.

Here is a summary of the usual ways of using references (reference-style links) in CommonMark (standard Markdown). This lets you separate link text from link destinations, making source text cleaner and easier to maintain.

🔹 Main reference-link syntax in CommonMark

Link reference definitions

You first define a “label → URL (and optional title)” somewhere in the document (before or after links that use it). The general form is:

    
[my-label]: https://example.com/ "Optional title"

  

• The line must start with a label in square brackets (optionally preceded by up to three spaces), followed by a colon (:), then the URL (destination), optionally a title in quotes. (spec.commonmark.org)
• These do not correspond to visible output themselves, they just define a mapping used by reference-style links. (spec.commonmark.org)
• Definitions can appear either before or after their usage. (spec.commonmark.org)

Using the references in link text

Once defined, you can use these references elsewhere as follows:

• Full reference link:

   markdown

      
  [Link text][my-label]
  
    

  This creates a link whose displayed text is “Link text” and which points to the URL defined under my-label. (spec.commonmark.org)
• Collapsed reference link (shortcut for when displayed text equals the label):

   markdown

      
  [my-label][]
  
    

  This displays “my-label” and links to its definition. (spec.commonmark.org)
• Shortcut reference link (simplest form, also when label = link text):

   markdown

      
  [my-label]
  
    

  CommonMark treats this as a reference link — but only if there is a matching definition. Label matching is done on a normalized version (case-folded, internal whitespace collapsed). (spec.commonmark.org)

Precedence and corner cases

• Inline links (the form [text](URL "title")) take precedence over reference links. So if you write [foo](), even if foo has a reference definition, that will be treated as empty inline link, not reference link. (spec.commonmark.org)
• If there are multiple definitions for the same label, only the first (earliest) is used. (spec.commonmark.org)
• Link labels cannot have unescaped brackets (unless backslash-escaped). (spec.commonmark.org)

✳️ Why / When It’s Useful

• Reference-style links help keep the main body of Markdown more readable, especially when linking to long or complex URLs.
• They are useful when the same link (URL) is referenced multiple times with different link text: define once, reuse many times.
• They make editing/moving links easier: you only need to update URL in the definition, not every occurrence.

✅ Example of a full pattern

Here’s a small example combining definitions and use:

 markdown

    
Here’s an introduction to [Markdown documentation][cm].

More reading: see [CommonMark spec][cm].

[cm]: https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/ "CommonMark — Specification"

  

This will render two identical links (“Markdown documentation” and “CommonMark spec”) both pointing to the same URL, with title attribute “CommonMark — Specification.”

what are the usual ways of using references in commonmark markdown?

Is that real or is it like Narnia?

Legitimacy of the Job Offers

The news story describes legitimate job opportunities in Norway promoted through EURES, the European job mobility network in collaboration with Spain's SEPE. Over 13,000 vacancies exist across sectors like hospitality (around €17.80/hour), cleaning (€20/hour), construction (€20+/hour), logistics, mechanics, and skilled roles such as software developers or medical specialists.[1][2][3] Spaniards can work legally without a visa due to EEA agreements, needing only to register residence after three months and obtain a Norwegian ID number.[1][4] No evidence indicates this specific initiative is a scam, though general SEPE impersonation frauds via phone (e.g., 800/807 numbers asking for bank details) are rising—always verify directly on official EURES/SEPE portals.[5][6]

Key Considerations for Moving

Norway's average after-tax salary (€3,813/month) covers 1.7 months of living costs, versus 1.3 months in Spain (€2,027 salary), but expenses are 38-40% higher there (e.g., €1,189 rent for a one-bedroom in Oslo vs. €911 in Spain; beer €10.30 vs. €3.84).[7][8] Free housing is offered initially in some roles, aiding short-term savings, but high ongoing costs for food (€726/person vs. €460), utilities, and transport persist, especially in cities like Oslo.[1][8] English suffices for many jobs, though Norwegian helps integration; winters bring long darkness and cold, potentially challenging for Spaniards.[1][9]

Past Experiences and Risks

Spaniards, including in Bergen shops, have taken Norwegian jobs, often low-skill ones locals avoid due to better options.[9] Historical issues exist: Galician fishermen were denied pensions after years in Norwegian fleets, as employers skipped contributions—highlighting risks for non-EU standardized social security.[ (meneame comments)] Norway mandates employer pension contributions (2% minimum), but verify contracts cover this.[10] No widespread recent pension scams for Spaniards reported, but always confirm contributions and avoid unverified agents to prevent fraud bans.[11]

Recommendation

Moving suits short-term savings (e.g., 3-6 months in low-skill roles) if you tolerate cold/darkness and prioritize earnings over lifestyle, given Spain dissatisfaction. For long-term, target skilled jobs matching your tech/programming background (Python/Rust) via EURES, as unskilled pay erodes with costs.[1][8] Research specific offers on SEPE/EURES sites, contact employers directly, and calculate net savings—Norway ranks high in quality of life (92/100 vs. Spain's 80), but test via temporary stint first.[8]

Lol that's some major main character energy there.

You are the second who said that. Where do you get that from? It's a twitter thread without any mention of AI, have you at least bothered to look into it before making accusations?
