The main problem I experience with your web site that (a) it is not instantly clear what service you are providing, some graphics could help wonders in combination with a more catchy title. and (b), possibly more important, why I would need/want to use your app.

Now the main message of your website is 'publish your webpage'. Along with the url that made me think instantly of github pages, but then with some reading it turns out that I'd need a separate FTP server for this service. But if I need a separate server, what is the advantage of this service over just scp'ing the contents of my website which might be in a local/cloned repo straight to my ftp server?
Growth and technology are actually reducing the difference between rich and poor in almost every aspect of life.

Between 1920 and 1960 the only people who could travel quickly around the world were the super-rich. With the advent of the turbofan engine, and the widebody jet, quick and comfortable travel became accessible to the general public.

Cell phones and the internet are another paradigmatic case of this. It used to be that only people with a great deal of resources could get quick answers to uncommon problems, but now everyone can get those answers from a device they carry in their pocket. You can communicate more easily than the ultra-wealthy were able to only 20 years ago. Most Americans have access to communications technology on par or above that of the president.

There are many different examples of this, and the best description of it may be the following quote by Schumpeter:

>"Electric lighting is no great boon to anyone who has enough money to buy a sufficient number of candles and to pay servants to attend them. It is the cheap cloth, the cheap cotton and rayon fabric, boots, motorcars and so on that are the typical achievements of capitalist production, and not as rule improvements that would mean much to the rich man. Queen Elizabeth owned silk stockings. The capitalist achievement does not typically consist in providing more silk stockings for queens but in bringing them within reach of factory girls in return for steadily decreasing amounts of effort."
I'm happy heroin is illegal. Locking people up who use heroin, not so much.
The adjustable from ikea was too wobbly for me. I now just use boxes. The key is to switch , once you get used ti it you cant sit too long anyway.
To clarify, I'm not rolling my eyes at them.

I don't know them or think about them. The article spoke as if I did.
Out of curiosity, I looked into the best ways to get this sulforaphane. Studies have found that it forms after plant defense systems are triggered by damage(like an herbivore chewing), but cooking(including the blanching done to frozen foods) cuts off that process. Some studies show that cutting up fresh broccoli, then letting it sit 90 minutes before cooking would allow for greater levels[0], and another showed adding powdered mustard seed to heated broccoli also increases levels[1].

> As long as both vehicles have sufficiently powerful engines, the more massive one will win.

I know they're trying to write an accessible article here and they probably realize this, but that is a simplified version of the physics.

So just to be clear, since the vehicle has 4 wheels, and the force due to gravity (proportional to mass) is distributed among them, you need to individually analyze the situation for each of the wheels. You can't treat the vehicle as a single unit.

Things are going to fall apart when the first one of the drive wheels loses traction. (From there, things get strictly worse because the other drive wheels take on more of the burden.) So that means you need to consider the normal force on each wheel.

And you need to consider the power delivered to each drive wheel and the control systems that achieve this. It's entirely possible the Cybertruck has an advantage here because electric motors might very well allow more precise and faster control of power applied than you can achieve in an ICE vehicle. (I'm not a car expert but I believe ICE vehicles apply brakes if the force gets too much because that allows better, faster control than varying the throttle. So that's an improvement, but I doubt it gives control as good as an electric motor.)

TLDR: Mass matters, but so does weight distribution and so does the quality of traction control. All of these could be factors which differ between F-150 and Cybertruck.
Yeah, sorry, I'm used to reddit. Leave your email? Leave a temporary email? I would list mine but I don't like linking my online identities to my real one.
> If Google were to direct some of its employees tomorrow to restrict the flow of information relating to a hot-button political issue, right in the middle of an election cycle, would it be crazy for some of the employees to attempt to "subvert" the company to prevent that from happening?

Yes, it would be. What they should do in that case is resign. Google isn't the military — you can leave any time you want to.

And while it may not be easy for a black janitor to leave Billy Bob's House of Cars if Billy Bob starts airing racist commercials, given Google salaries and Google's technical reputation, I think it's probably incredibly easy for a Googler to leave at any time.

If you cannot support your employer's decisions, you leave. Think what an impact that would make!
I pretty much entirely agree with the author. I've never derived value from Twitter, try as I might. I think some personalities are better suited to the decentralized, broadcast-and-hope, follow-the-experts, ratings-driven content.

I get a lot more value out of forums about a topic, or HN, or groups of friends I already know. Facebook groups on my hobbies, etc. Joining/participating in "private" (but open to anyone) groups rather than broadcasting outwards to all and getting engagement through shock/clickbait type content.

That doesn't mean what works for me has to work for you, though, and of course it's without getting into how problematic one platform's LEADERSHIP might be versus another.
The fact that it is unknowable does not mean that Amazon is guilty.

I think we are both retreating to our priors, but it also seems speculative that amazon is using a sealed ballot drop off location to somehow track who is voting yes or no.

I think this is pretty standard and if they didn't have drop onsite drop off locations, the story would be that they are discouraging organizers by not providing them
Congratulations to the OP, what a fantastic demo! One small thing, when navigating on my iPhone it seems unavoidable to enable the text selection hint, covering the whole screen in blue and displaying the ‘copy-paste’ popover. In any case, great work!
Would be very much interested if you guys can figure out a way to create recurring subscriptions. I have been looking for a solution for a very long time and just posted a thread here on HN about it [1]. Would love to hear your thoughts and how you plan to offer it.

When I first read the headline I thought of this post as well, my instinct was that someone had pasted it into a Gist but it seems like a collaborative project to make an even more detailed answer. Which is neat.
What you call "most and least gifted" is in my opinion better described as "most and least privileged". And coeducation of students of different levels of privilege just seems like a good thing, nothing that needs to be dealt with.
Salary is always lower than the (expected) value of work. If the value of work was equal to salary, the employer would have to reason to do this transaction.
See ‘cost_of_marketing’.
We've done some performance and price comparisons of different providers including Linode and Slicehost (a.k.a. RackspaceCloud). In that price range there are a lot of options you could consider with cloud providers. Although cloud is generally (but not always) multi-tenant, many provide dedicated CPU cores so CPU performance is very predictable. One advantage to cloud also, is that oftentimes the OS runs of an external SAN so if the physical host machine does fail, it can be immediately migrated to another host with very little downtime. There are other benefits like backup images and instant upgrading.

If I wasn't in Singapore for the week, I'd be there.
You're not missing anything. It wasn't a solid theory.
i've used this service and i think it's great! I'm a huge google voice sms user and I hated the fact that i couldn't get PUSH notifications when new messages would come in. Notifo solved the problem and it works great. Yes there were other options like boxcar but that required me to leave my computer on all day while Notifo didnt. BIG PLUS!

Only downside is whenever i try to open the app on my ipod
touch - it always crashes - even when installing the new update. But it's not a huge issue because i still get notifications coming in.
If you click on the video to go to the livestream.com page for him, you can see his recent recordings including today's where he was working on some dungeon game apparently. It's the left most video.
I agree that it is not a good idea to make blanket statements. I have edited my original comment.

The WakeMate wakes you similarly to how you would wake if you did not set an alarm. That is why it is very unlikely to have adverse effects.

Regarding your comment: "I think the original commenter gets that you're just waking up a little earlier, but consistently doing that every day isn't natural."
It may just be because I'm familiar with the product but it doesn't seem to me that setting your alarm for 9:00am and waking at 8:55am can be construed as unnatural.
Congratulations on shipping! I'm curious if after the setbacks, do you feel that YCombinator was the right model for a hardware start-up? I wonder if the exuberance and rapidity of the single web-app start-up lent itself towards overconfidence in your time schedules and understanding of time to market given the various manufacturing and design challenges?
If you look in the Ubuntu repos for a package called gtk-recordmydesktop I believe that is popular for making screencasts.

If you want to edit the video I think PiTiVi is installed by default. I hear OpenShot is also good for beginners.
Like A Little. http://likealittle.com If you aren't in college right now, you probably haven't heard of it. Proof : It launched first at Stanford approximately six weeks ago and http://likealittle.com/about/internships
I'm curious too. I'm an international user who's been very interested in this.
This totally made my day. Many thanks :)
I thought so too. One size doesn't fit all.
Not sure what you mean since tracking infections, hospitalizations, and deaths are all useful. However, there are reporting delays for infections and deaths during weekends and holidays.

Infections happen earlier than hospitalizations and deaths but the count depends on people getting tested.
> Investigation is not a remedy given by courts.

where do I say that an investigation in and on itself is a remedy given by courts? The due process that includes an investigation and that has the final judgement is.

> Investigation is what litigants do to develop facts to bring to court.

Litigants cannot do it outside the court process, because they have no power to conduct an investigation that requires warrants to be issued by court for the police, or other permitted authority, to make an arrest, seize property, and conduct a search necessary for the purpose of investigation. Facts are the notions that the court establishes during the process, not when cases are filed.
I am afraid I don't understand your point, are you saying London did in fact loosen it's lockdown over Christmas?
Buddy just post one big PNG.
The hospitalisation curve for the next fortnight is largely locked in by what was happening before lockdown started. If lockdown has a positive effect, it'll be visible in the hospitalisation stats after 12 days or so.
I see an awful lot of #3. Hard not to laugh when I see it. Sometimes I think that describes 3/4 of the things I see Data Scientists working on.

The challenge in the field is very few folks know programming, math/stats, and the domain they're working on. It's rare to even get 2 of 3.
Huh. If I rebase master into the feature branch, isn't that supposed to move the point at which the feature branched off of master from where it was, to the HEAD of master?

About rebasing the feature branch onto master, my team doesn't do that, we squash the feature branch commits into one commit when merging to master.

(I don't use anything besides git, but that doesn't mean I can't hate it)
I think it would be easier to track them than current Silk Road/whatever dealers. You don't need a physical address to ship drugs out, but you definitely need a physical location from which you're launching drones - and unless you're throwing in a free drone with every delivery, you need to recover them after the delivery is completed.
I feel like the Ruby webdev community had a similar ethos, but I dropped out of that scene before things really coalesced. Can anyone comment on how things are playing out there?
There's an entire subreddit devoted to a technique for fooling the brain into thinking an image is pornographic by overlaying patterns that obscures clothed sections [1] (and at least one more about more generic optical illusions)

Not quite the color balance, but how anyone can assert the brain is hard to exploit is beyond me.

[1] it's this technique - links is probably nsfw: https://richardwiseman.wordpress.com/2010/09/07/naked-women-... - I don't remember the name of the subreddit.
The big reason was that from 1945 until the late 70s, America had a huge wealth gap compared the rest of the world. Half of Europe was communist, the other half recovering from a major war. Asia was still poor and technological backwards AND was recovering from war.

Western Europe's heavy handed socialism wasn't as competitive as their light socialism is now.

America was the undisputed leader of the economically free world.

All the sudden by the 1970's, the US had to start competing more and more with the rest of the world. Our super high wages for unskilled labor just weren't competitive on a global scale.

Also, women moving in the job market actually lowers wages because the worker supply expanded greatly.
hundreds? I'd be surprised if we hadn't reached a thousand.
Rich kids getting off scott-free for things that will permanently ruin a poor kid's life is one example of what you're discussing. Can't count the number of DUIs among wealthy kids at my district's public high-school that never went to trial or resulted in much of any sort of punishment.

Some white kid called one of the few black kids at my middle-school a nigger and they got in a fight. Somehow, only the black kid got sent to the principal's office. So the white kid walks by and taunts the black kid AGAIN at which point the black kid makes a bad decision blinded by emotion and grabs some scissors and chases the white kid down the hall. Black kid expelled and white kid... well I don't think anything happened to that POS.
Obviously, you need to have safeguards against discrimination. However, you also need to give hiring managers leeway to go with their instincts. Often when interviewing someone you'll have a gut feeling about them, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Those times when I've had a bad gut feeling about a candidate and ignored it, I've later come to regret it.

If managers can't have discretion without consulting a decision matrix, lest they be accused of some "ism", you might as well just get rid of the interview process and save both the applicants and the interviewers a lot of time and stress.
Yeah I can fix this with work but just getting some users would be helpful first
Call me selfish but as an under 30 who hardly leaves the house, I'm in no rush to get the vaccine and will happily leech off herd immunity as long as possible. I'm curious what the uptake will be from my fellow young people.
If we're just choosing our personal favorite countries, we can also discuss France, who is still in lockdown (albeit weakened) with ~1450 deaths pM. :)

> The data couldn't be more clear

I don't mean to be rude, so please take this as an honest, albeit blunt, response. No one who is honestly analyzing this situation is making such a strong statement. Be them epidemiologists, statisticians, or independent analysts. The only ones saying this are politicians whose job depend on proving that their strategy works.

I would really encourage you to have a bit more humility at the complexity of this problem and the variables (and messy data) involved and the fact that we're still actively learning more every day about the effectiveness of different policy strategies.
I would not just throw someone into Sakurai starting from scratch.
Slick websites often cover a multitude of sins - in a dysfunctional company "update the website" is something they can subcontract out and point at.

Look for multiple changes to the website with no consistent plan over years.
DIVIDE X2 INTO 1500 GIVING Y => Y=1500/X2
> there are actually tons of companies in this space already making money (e.g., wyze), but it’s highly fragmented and none have a unified vision or product strategy yet. so yes, they’re vulnerable to the behemoths right now, but those dynamics aren’t locked in yet.

I also think it's still a little too nerd-focused for the average consumer. I'd say I know far more about security, networking and hardware than the average consumer but, compared to the HN crowd, I know next to nothing. I struggle to use a lot of the current solutions because they get bogged down in doing cool technical stuff that is so far outside the scope of the average potential user's wants/needs or the DIY solution will be "easy"... for someone with an extensive CS background and years of experience.
I remember vaguely that if there would have been a sun eruption at the lunar mission the team might have died. I tried a while ago to find a good source on that though. If this were true, forget Mars.
Link to the source code? (iirc, it isn't open source, but probably the extension code can still be examined)

The comment(by a competitor) says that DNTMe sends back data, but neither the comment nor the areweprivateyet.com website backs up that claim. The latter just says that DNTMe is not very effective at blocking.

Since you mention that they sold out, I hope to know if there's more history on the subject, if things changed in the extension, or with Abine, and when that happened.
> What puzzle us is why they still support the communist when they are free

I can assure you the majority does not support the party wholeheartedly and for one thing it’s certain: if you tell them they should go ahead overthrown everything and re-establish the system they’ll think you are out of your mind. Chineses like to have concrete and feasible plans, Democracy slogans doesn’t work for this culture.

As to the integrity of China, it won’t be something that can be easily changed, given Chineses are obsessed to regain what was lost during early 20 century.

If you want to fight I’d respect it since HK deserves most of it and for such a small place I do think there are better plans. For entire China no, it will cause chaos and regressions, don’t even talk about long term
I saw a post in the last month or so on the front page of HN that linked a video lecture and a paper/presentation on GA, it’s still sitting in my watch/read folder unfortunately. So, since you volunteered for questions, I’ll ask a few:

- is there a generally accepted, or just personally approved, set of introductory materials on GA, to get one up to speed? I have a decent mathematics background, but I have been focusing on other areas recently so I am a bit rusty.

- I think your goals for Klein look interesting, and since you are a graphics engineer, I assume you are aware of the prior art (your comment indicates this is correct), so, is the main draw of using GA as an implementation theory the elegance of the underlying math alone, or does the math create a new space for potential optimization in the graphics space (I am assuming that your mention of performance penalty in existing implementations is due to a lack of focus on performance not unsuitability of GA to a performance domain).
It's either (near) universal or communal. Anything in between gives elites so much power over the less advantaged that you see a stratification of society similar to, well, what we're seeing now. Here's a quarantine project for you: build a model that lets you push around the %age of renters vs land owners. Virtually any model that contains a significant number of renters will eventually have one land owner and many renters, unless you see significant economic disasters in the model.
I suspect this was voluntary, but governors and the President have a lot of extra powers once an emergency is formally declared. (Which it has.)

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Production_Act_of_1950
I heard, anecdotally, that non-approved masks have the possibility of aerosolizing a cough/sneeze more
My colleagues are out of PPE and now using scarves because we are so under supplied. CDC guidelines were just changed to allow staff to be exposed to COVID patients without properly protecting themselves.

I was talking with some physicians and providers when I said that I think this will be the Chernobyl like moment of our era: where the truth is hidden from people to prevent a panic paradoxically exacerbating the current crisis. Shockingly, almost all agreed with me.

As long as people actually get more money, then I'm okay with prices rising.
Depends on the window manager. Gnome for example is horrible for navigating by keyboard and you'll constantly fall back on the mouse. XMonad on the other hand is pretty much entirely driven by keyboard.
Remember this system (including power supply) replaced a really ancient system that weighed twice as much. If anything, the heavier PS was helpful because it + the support truss brought things back to the mass that the missile was originally designed around. Otherwise it would be necessary to extensively retest an old missile with limited inventory, possibly even changing the guidance equations.
"Natural immunity" has been of little value at the country level. Whenever/wherever people have proclaimed that "natural immunity" is stemming the pandemic (e.g. Sweden last year, India this year) a new wave has proven them wrong.

So the pandemic will end for NZ the same way it will for every other country: when everyone has had a chance to be vaccinated. That should be some time this year for NZ. Some other countries will get there first, but the timing depends entirely on vaccine supply and uptake, and has nothing to do with how far COVID has spread through the population.
In parts of Los Angeles the price increase can be beneficial enough, especially with the difficulty of evictions. However, judging by the number of $1 million plus homes in my neighborhood that have sat vacant for more than two years, something else may be going on that I’m not privy to. Maybe it’s an easy way to launder money (which FINCEN has been concerned about for years), or it’s like money under the mattress for people who need to park a few million dollars somewhere for a while.
People largely weren’t doing this 18 months ago and many started doing it around 12 months ago; what changed their mind?
I take Vitamin D in the winter anyway because there's not enough time to get sufficient sun exposure, especially here in the UK.

From what I've read hypervitaminosis D is quite hard to achieve, so I don't see the harm in taking it.
