I want the page I'm looking at to be mostly the content I'm interested in, so when I follow a link to get more content most of the page should be updated. Under those conditions, a full page refresh is preferable because it works nicely with the browser history, bookmarking, "Email this Link" feature, and anything else I might want to do with the page of content.
Mistake is #2. Don't make people search for the info, give it to them without friction. "Pay" them by providing more info. Real money would be in paid data mining.

Add ability to comment on other drivers. "Idiot cut me off!!!" turns into automatic notification when any instance of the app sees that plate ("Warning: 8 reports of risky behavior for vehicle"). Include automatic marking of "seen before" ("augmented familiarity").
This also provides some context

I'm looking forward to seeing their GFM styles... that's probably the most compelling to me.
Realm uses a custom C++ core that is different from SQLite, and we published a bit about the architecture here http://realm.io/news/introducing-realm/#fast. Both iOS and Android API's are just wrappers around this core.
This article totally misses the forest for the trees. Frankly, both prostate cancer research and disparities in wealth/power/self-determination between men and women deserve greater attention in public discourse than they currently receive. The tone of the article is no better than the "Everyday Sexism" proponents that it decries: neither of the issues discussed are all-or-nothing propositions. So, what's the point here, then, other then a hyped up anti-(anti-?)moral panic? What's the connection between public backlash against a tennis poster and the author's claim that not enough money goes towards prostate cancer research? (Hint: there is none, other than the author's wishful thinking and news reading habits.)

> The drip-drip narrative of the Everyday Sexism Project – along with the continued demonisation of young men in the media and on University campuses – would have us believe Britain is intrinsically more sexist against women than it has ever been.

No. It's that the awareness of disparities is perhaps at the highest it's ever been, not that the disparities themselves are the greatest they've been.
Can I make money reselling GV's services? I could easily put together a system that made it very easy to set up a GV forwarding number and charge for that.
I agree that there isn't these things now, but I think of this as an enabling technology which can gateway us in to new things.
"I am pretty paranoid about bubbles, but things still feel grounded in reason."

Asking a VC to determine whether or not there is a VC bubble is like asking a mortgage broker or real estate agent whether or not there was a housing bubble during 2006. They have a self-interest to believe that the good times will keep going. During the dot-com bubble and the housing bubble, the rationalizations that were being spouted by those in the midst of it were incredible.

The same goes for now. There is no metric by which Whatsapp is worth 19B, except for the fact that Facebook can spend that much money. Any attempt to monetize those users will result in decreased users.

The only thing keeping the valuations high are because people delude themselves into believing that Google or Facebook will pay billions for customers. If Google and/or Facebook declared they would be doing no more acquisitions, valuations would plummet immediately.

The valuations given to companies with no real revenues, or profits to justify ridiculous valuations. But the rationalizations that get spouted to justify them are what is a big indicator of a bubble to me.
Conservatively the round here valued the company at $25m. Pre-dilution that's a 4000x return, likely 2000x-3000x post-dilution.
So, you're saying that there is absolutely now way, no how that we can put up a fence to keep people with low understanding of tech from compiling and installing some random app?

I don't buy it.

> I don’t think that that Windows 95-like “permissions” are what most people want or need.

That's an extremely bad faith take on my argument because there's a very wide spectrum of possibilities between the Windows 95 free-for-all and what we have with iOS. You're presenting a false dichotomy.

For one thing, iOS could easily put up tons of scary warnings before letting you sideload things. That would be enough to dissuade most people from doing it. However, I'd be willing to go to extremes to get control over the devices which I supposedly own. Make me come into the Apple store and sign away any rights to a warranty from Apple. Make me pay extra. Whatever you want - just don't put every single user in prison because a likely majority of people can't handle making good decisions on what software to install.

The idea that we must remove any and all control from users to protect the innocent is just as bad as the idea to have a War on Drugs - and I highly suspect that these preventions are actually in place for the same reason: to actually control people and rake in profits, not to protect them.
Twitter's algorithm has a way of showing most toxic or controversial posts and comments first.

There are people that are very good friends of mine in Real Life, but their Twitter profiles show a completely toxic persona. This doesn't happen with their other social media profiles.

TikTok on the other hand shows up higher more "feel-good" content which is why it's the only social media app I have installed on my phone.
What does "proprietary query language" mean in this context? jq is open source, right?
Weird take. Exchanges are more like a shop. Ideally you don’t keep the coins on the exchange but in your own wallet after purchase
I suspect it has something to do with their typing habits and/or some physical issue.

Personally, the newest Macbooks became a problem for me despite the history of amazing palm rejection on Macbooks, I have sort of sweaty hands and when they increased the trackpad size, that combined with how I type (palm resting on the chassis, not raised), it causes a lot of jitter (I say a lot, it's super rare, but just enough to train me away from it) and I've ended up using an external mouse exclusively, but in the past year, uh, I haven't been mobile so that's just a nonissue :)
I once built an email client in (JSP-generated) WML for the first WAP phones.

It doesn't get less minimal than that ;)
Coinbase is critical to the widespread adoption of crypto because it acts as a bridge between everything-is-regulated and anything-goes. Cryptocurrencies are only bound by the rules of the programs that run them, but they exist in the "real world" where powerful states have guns and nukes and can pass laws that would make using cryptocurrencies too risky for the general public, even if it would still be technically feasible. Coinbase is clearly the leader in this bridge-space and I suspect this IPO will go nicely.
Find a city and neighborhood you like and are interested in setting roots there for the long haul. Find a house that you love that can be a forever home for your preferences.

Don't think of it as an investment to flip. Think of it as home. After the purchase, no need to ever look at the property value estimates again. Just live it.
I did the same thing in 2013 when I worked at Google. I just shifted my working hours from 6:15am to 4pm and I had some quiet time, then the normal shared office environment.

I did the same thing at SAIC when I had a private office. Then my motivation was to have an hour or two for uninterrupted coding.

Except for 2013 I have worked remotely from home, which can be very good, but I do miss out on face time.
I'm not sure that's true. I've read articles about how they intentionally create shared roads because it makes both bikes and cars more careful, similar to the initiative of removing signs and lights in traffic (which, counter-intuitively, is often safer).

Plus, I personally recall separated bike lanes being converted to shared lanes.

That said, I'm not 100% certain.
Better Title: Fans have willingly dropped $77M on this guy's buggy, half-built game that is in pre-alpha and all backers were made aware that the game would not be released anytime soon.
The videos are great, but the blog (https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/) is more informative, combining text with the videos, and adding search facilities (the by theme one in particular is useful)
I started out as a sysadmin getting certified in PCI compliance. After that I've moved to consulting and working on getting my CISSP and moving towards security and compliance with a systems focus. We'll see how it pans out but I appreciate the high-level view and reading contracts. I'm a terrible salesman though so finding additional gigs has been my sticking point.
That still relies on the scientists defining and labeling racists which will be an arbitrary process. Regardless - do you think anything of the kind was done by the NYT?
That is the sweetest success story from Ukrainian segment on YouTube:

> “Subscribe to my channel” — 10 y.o. Vitalina posted pet videos to her YouTube channel “Nature TV”, but had only 9 subscribers. So she glued DIY posters in her neighborhood asking ppl to subscribe. It worked. A passer-by’s photo went viral. 30k+ subscribed to “Nature TV” in 3 days!

The photo of Vitalina's glued DIY poster, initially posted on Twitter by a fellow villager on February 8th, 2021, going viral.[0]

As on February 14th, 2021 “Nature TV” (ukr. “Природа ТВ”) reached 39k+ subscribers.[1]

P.S. On Feruary 13, 2021 journalist of the RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service interviewed Viatlina's parents.[2]

I'm having your same exact doubts. The quality of the conversation about cryptocurrencies here on HN is abysmal. Misinformation, or outdated information, is rampant.

Maybe that's the case for everything else that is discussed here, but I just don't have enough domain knowledge to be able to tell...
Especially considering market cap is a totally made up number and if everybody tried to get out at once they would get a fraction of a fraction of it. (1) But it's pointless to tell this to a cryptofreak because they're so heavily invested in it they make zealots look reasonable.

(1) not to mention the fact that as soon as there is volatility exchange sites go down, even the bigger ones.
I'm only half joking. The different notations all have pros and cons, but the benefit of s-expressions are their simplicity. A list can be either an expression (+ x y) but can also be a list of things like (red blue green) and an empty list can be written as (). It is basically the simplest possible structured notation.

+(x y) would be fine for expressions but weird for lists of things.
Turkey is a small, weak country compared to the EU and was able to send significant help to Azerbaijan.

It's not for the EU to be scared. They just need to setup camp in Armenia, then others will not dare attack.

The problem is to indeed grow a pair and show some backbone instead of always being scared and weak. Again, the EU is (or can be) a massive power that others, including Russia, will not cross.
The tweets you linked to link to another source [0], and are mostly paraphrased from that source, which makes the following argument:

"Does Bitcoin justify its energy usage? Does it add enough value? So far, the market says it does."

That doesn't "debunk" any argument about energy use, it only tries to justify it.

> I think it's got to be socially related, but I have a hard time examining that aspect because I'm autistic.

There you have it. It's brutally unfair, but autism, if strong enough to be perceivable, sounds like the most likely cause: you're different, and people don't like you because of it.

Even worse, I believe that people on the autism spectrum don't even perceive they're different. I personally have no idea whether I'm on that spectrum, or how far. Still: my own Mom once stated the "obvious": that I must notice that I'm not like others. I had to tell her that I don't. At 35.

So. People perceive you're different. It's obvious enough that they expect you to perceive that difference, even though you may not. So when you fail to conform to the obscure (to you) group norm, they end up rejecting you. Perhaps even rationalising that you're doing it on purpose (remember, the difference is obvious to them). Then you're out of the group.

---

There may be other factors as well. Folks tend to be kinder, more forgiving, of pretty people, so if you can improve that in any way, try to do so (one habit at a time though, take it easy). The easiest thing to go for, I think, is clothing: try having someone you trust chose your clothes for you. Pay explicit attention to the dress code at your workplace, emulate it a little (but don't buy the exact same clothes either!). Also consider light makeup if you're a woman (and maybe get counsel about that too).

Much harder is taking good care of your health. If you're fat, unfit, or otherwise unhealthy, try to work on that. Sleeping well, eating well, and exercising properly is surprisingly hard when you're not used to it, but it's a must.

---

Edit: also consider telling your colleagues about your autism. I expect it's not easy, and it may not even be a good idea, but there's a chance that people knew why you are the way you are, they'd tolerate it better.
Off and on I've been doing the exercises and examples in Clojure, and it's a little difficult because the Python examples seem so imperative to me. It's been a challenge turning them into functional code, there's a couple of places where I go over a list twice when I probably should be able to get all I need with one pass, and of course when I have to resort to using an atom or ref I feel a little dirty.
A cutting blade needs to be held against the device, either by a clamp or it's own heavy (expensive) weight.
A projectile will generally just bounce off.

So the current solution is to attach an explosive charge and disrupt the device ie. 'a controlled explosion' which is slow, specialized and noisy.

Or fire a shotgun at it which often doesn't do anything other than to move the suspect device a couple of feet and make it a lot more suspect.
"the sender of a SMS usually doesn't know if the recipient received the message" - is this true? Delivery reports are pretty reliable with SMS. I know some people use them and some don't but I'd be curious to see the figures. Email, by contrast, hasn't got any reports that any decent human being would use. And IM is somewhat different again, in that it broadcasts availability, as opposed to receipt.

But yes - different methods of communication have different semantics, as Marshal McLuhan never said. But it is nice to group them, and to be able to seamlessly transfer between them. No doubt I'd love Google Chat's "This person is now offline. Click here to send a SMS" if they had any support for anywhere but the States. And I look forward to the Sense UI concept of crossing the streams coming to stock Android so I can use it myself.
“Have you tried to sign out and in again” is the new “Have you tried to turn it off and on again”!! :D

Calling on homeowners to stop opposing new development is more reasonable.
The UI is great -- feels very nostalgic!

I think the word list could use some polish -- the first word it gave me was RAMCE which I have never heard, and Google didn't think it was a word either.
There is no mention of prices on that page, does anyone know how much it costs? Is it included on their free tier, or it is a "free" added service for customers who already pay for other services? If so, I'm curious what would be the cost of the minimum package to get this working.
Today is my last day at a public sector job and I'd ask the same question in reverse. At least in the public sector you can be honest and say you and there to make a living.
The drop seems shorter if you keep your eyes closed.
This depends highly on your country of citizenship, as well as country of residence.

Americans have it different than most others, because they are taxed globally.

A true 'digital nomad' without set residency somewhere might also encounter problems, because certain countries might challenge the tax treatment of certain transactions. (depends on if you're selling your own stuff, or doing consulting, for example)

Talk to a lawyer (or law firm), see legal500.com (-> tax) for some recommendations. A firm in the country you're currently residing in is a good starting point.
> Database designs are always fighting the last war, based on assumptions about resource balance, hardware behaviors, and system architectures that may not be strictly true anymore.

I've been studying cache-oblivious data structures recently and have been wondering why they don't seem to be taken seriously in modern database design. COLAs and shuttle trees both seem to considerably outperform traditional B-Trees in terms of random inserts while suffering only a slight slowdown for searches and sorted inserts[1]

Do you mean "Do Programmers Retire (voluntarily)?" or "Are programmers forced to retire?" I'm sure both things are true. So, maybe you could restate your question and why you want to know.
If you are an employer despicable enough to systematically be paying women less just for being women, I don't think another redundant law is going to change your behavior.

Women don't earn about 18% less than men (OECD median, 2008)[0] because a small minority of employers pay women almost nothing, but because the vast majority of employers pay women (or blacks, or handicapped people) slightly less. Just like laws that prohibit killing don't target psychopaths, laws that prohibit discrimination don't target the KKK; they (should) aim to change the societal norms that your average Joe McAverage conforms to. It's the distinction between institutionalized discrimination and the more intimate personal type.

It all depends on your use case.

If user streams are not releavant to you, you may use the `filter` endpoint instead of `sample`, and focus on keywords describing a relevant niche for your analysis.

In case you want to limit yourself to tweets geo-located in a certain location, you have to be aware that the bounding box filter of twitter is buggy: it will return you tweets geo-located outside of the desired area, and you are not sure to be getting all tweets.
> You can't bust out numbers like that

Nobody is preventing you from writing your own benchmark and "busting out [your own] numbers". :)

That said, yes, my deletion algorithm is naive, and I welcome a pull request to fix it.

> Are you sure you weren't simply seeing the effects of the L2 CPU cache being invalidated

Perhaps, but I doubt it's the cause of the worst case scenario, particularly since I'm doing identical loops over the physics and renderable objects, and as you say the linked list should have the worse performance.

EDIT: One more small point - if the programmer is relying on the order of the items at all, the "tail tuck" method of deletion would not work.

EDIT[2]: Addressing your edit - the numbers are only for the action of applying physics and adding/deleting objects - the code should reflect that. There is no actual rendering time or AI or anything else which would prevent us from seeing upwards of 100,000 "frames" per second.

The times are also fairly stable (the standard deviation of max times is around 20%) between runs.
> s more tied to personality and familiarity than culture as "the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a social group" because those things are usually misrepresented in a fictional show made to entertain the general public.

That entertainment often misrepresents traits does not mean that it itself does not form part of those traits. E.g. nobody would suggest Monthy Python accurately reflects British culture, but Monthy Python is part of British culture, and in many ways shines a mirror to it that most people won't get unless they've lived here for a while. The more those things are shared and become a common heritage the more they come to form a shared culture.

Shared fairy tales is a good example.

> All of the countries on the west side share very similar views about worker rights, welfare state, public education and healthcare, women rights, minorities' rights, democracy, etc. etc.

All of which had to do with extensive organising across borders for many decades, often out of necessity due to extensive repression (e.g. Marx had to flee both Prussia and France). If that is the level of ties you talk of, then sure, but that is a far more complex process, and it took a couple of centuries for Europe to harmonise on those issues despite that extensive effort.

If anything this is a good example of my point of how slow this process is.

The other examples you give are examples of diffusion of culture over far longer (centuries to millennia) periods, so hardly makes the point.

> If we compare western Europe to former eastern block countries we will find fundamental differences and that's completely normal (and sometimes scary), because we have been separated for a long time and we are still compensating for that time.

Those differences did not come into being with World War II. They were pronounced for centuries before that.

The point is not that contact does not matter. Of course it does. It is that diffusion of culture takes a long time, but shared cultural heritage - including light entertainment is an important part of that, because you're never going to understand someone perfectly without sharing their cultural references, and they go all the way back to childhood.

All those things you mention matter, but spreading them are easier the more people understand the same terms and references, and laugh at the same things, and know the same stories, and have heard the same music.

Heck, you pointed to the EU, whose anthem was chosen in part because it is a piece of music that is near universally known, and as such provides a reference to a shared heritage.
> I was a precocious talker and reader, and in many ways a 'gifted' child, but I always struggled to comprehend reading material, or remain engaged with what a teacher was saying. These learning difficulties pretty much negated the value of any 'gift' I may have had.

Afaik, those are different brain functions. Early reading is a lot about early development of memory. Comprehending material can be about many different things. Remaining engaged is difficult if you dont understand. But also, it is about attention span.
You're older so your cohort was worse performing in general, because everyone in the US had lead poisoning back then and now kids are somewhat healthier. (You probably have adult ADHD.) He can still need help if he performs worse than the rest of his class - there really aren't long term downsides to taking medication or anything here.
> The Lightning port was shipping years ahead of something like USB-C. Sure, it would be nice if they switched now.

If Apple can fix their supply of USB-C ports so they uniformly, consistently last for more than just 6-12 months instead of some do and some don’t, I’d be onboard for switching. As it is, it is frustratingly common for Apple Lightning plugs to wear out the fingers and Apple USB-C ports to lose their “click” (even when just standing in a laptop cradle on a desk and otherwise covered with a port plug when carried around).
