Let me look that up, it's been a while.

One moment.

Edit: ok, found it:

http://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/deja-vu4.ht...

"Another theory is based on the way our brain processes new information and how it stores long- and short-term memories. Robert Efron tested an idea at the Veterans Hospital in Boston in 1963 that stands as a valid theory today. He proposed that a delayed neurological response causes déjà vu. Because information enters the processing centers of the brain via more than one path, it is possible that occasionally that blending of information might not synchronize correctly.

Efron found that the temporal lobe of the brain's left hemisphere is responsible for sorting incoming information. He also found that the temporal lobe receives this incoming information twice with a slight (milliseconds-long) delay between transmissions -- once directly and once again after its detour through the right hemisphere of the brain. If that second transmission is delayed slightly longer, then the brain might put the wrong timestamp on that bit of information and register it as a previous memory because it had already been processed. That could explain the sudden sense of familiarity."

The article contains a lot of other theories about the origin of Deja-Vu as well but that one seems to have stood the test of time very well.
From my experience AWS can be more expensive, but it is a joy to use. Once you get it down everything just syncs together perfectly and it is extremely easy to scale when the time comes.

I'm not sure you can claim that the movement of a physical object across a border is the same thing as a phone call.

This becomes especially dangerous, once you start applying it to the internet, the average user has no way of knowing where a website they request is coming from and typing the same domain name will get a page from different locations depending on the circumstances.

Am I really crossing a border by requesting a website from Europe? Should I need a passport to do so?
Wearing a suit != "[seeming] like a 'good, obedient' employee." I have always really appreciated it when job candidates dress up for their interviews. It makes it seem like they're saying to me 'I know this isn't your dress code, but I want to put my best foot forward and make sure you know I take this interaction seriously.'

Say hi to random strangers so you can make friends (even though you're introverted and doing this makes you look like a fool)

I wouldn't be with my girlfriend of a year and a half if I hadn't stuck my neck out and gotten outside my comfort zone when I was introduced to her. It doesn't make you look like a fool; it provides you with an aura of confidence.

Go to social events where you don't know anyone there.

As a corollary, I imagine you'd also suggest never moving to a new city where you don't know anyone, right?
> Everybody in college pretends to be not working hard as they like to admit

Is this true when it's a student telling the outside world? It's a useful strategy to claim one's working really hard in school to explain why he hasn't been calling / doesn't want to visit over spring break / doesn't have a girlfriend / why the parents should keep sending money / etc.
That's crazy...was I the only one that saw the Beatles coming to iTunes as a non-event? Granted, I'm a fan, but wow.
Good suggestion. I'll add that in.
Complete your degree - if you don't believe in it, it isn't worth the time!
I couldn't agree more with the sentiment that - often - stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to good things. However there has to be some reason you want to do it, despite it making you uncomfortable. Otherwise the fact that you're not being yourself will overshadow whatever it is you're trying to achieve.

I made myself go back to university when my first experience was not successful, I'm now on track for a great degree. I am in the process of chasing a few business opportunities, and I'm putting myself in the position of a marketing man. This has already lead to some promising leads. I also tried to be a bit more open minded and non-judgemental, and socialise in ways I didn't previously, and I made some great friends as a result.

Your life is in many ways, very much in your own hands.
> single instance where we knowingly screwed over users or clients.

Monetization often trumps customer's best interests. It certainly has at most companies where I've worked (but not all).
The virus getting deadlier is a hypothetical scenario.

Yes we can assume there is selection pressure for more benign strains. But that doesn't mean those strains will win.
This is also true of TV, print, and other non-social medias - and that seems to be under commented on HN.

Has existed for longer and I believe started this downhill trajectory, perhaps created the 'tinder' if you will.

They too do it for the engagement/ratings.

Rupert Murdoch's empire as a prime cause creating an alternate reality solely because it made his media the #1 most watched news network, print, etc.

They've even argued in court themselves that any 'normal' person wouldn't take their 'news' seriously. Take Tucker Carlson's early videos as another example of this gross negligence; he's an actor saying what gets views no matter his actual beliefs are.
True but I have to admit it is the kind of question I would ask too.
I’d say faith can be belief in anything you haven’t seen yourself, including thing done through scientific methods. I have to have faith in scientist that they know what they are doing and correctly reported their results and in the committees that review them.
Indeed there would. The naive estimate of deaths is bad enough, the knock on impact is a bit harder to wrap our heads around in terms of magnitude, but would still be severe.

Basically - this is not nothing, it’s being treated like a Big Deal because it legitimately is. There’s a lot of talk from the “treatment is worse than the disease” crowd, scant few of whom are experts. And like climate change and evolution deniers many of the arguments seem to boil down to conspiracy theories or the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia argument - “science is a liar ... sometimes”: https://youtu.be/Zgk8UdV7GQ0
The parent poster is likely mimicking the people asking why are you asking me move to another app when this app does everything fine?

To be honest, I'm not well versed in the debate of privacy, but invariably in discussing user tracking by BigCo's a lot of my friends just say "I don't care if they have my data, I've got nothing to hide."
WhatsApp was an existential threat to Facebook in every country besides the US. They had the data to prove it, obtained from real users via FB's Onavo VPN service. Facebook Messenger 3.0 was to WhatsApp as Google+ was to Facebook (the product), and when the usage numbers weren't going the right way they gave up and bought them out before the gulf got even wider.

Textual messaging is a low-data-use (accessible to the cheapest phones with the smallest data packages) entrypoint to capture a person's social network so you can have other opportunities to capture them again and again with other services in the future. Facebook saw India as an especially huge burgeoning market at that time (hence Internet-dot-org / Free Basics), and afaik WhatsApp is ubiquitous there.
You keep framing things as if I believe that only Biden votes would be fraudulent. I believe Republicans are just as capable of fraud as Democrats.

>Remember again that all of these people have near zero incentive to commit voter fraud.

The stakes are control over the most powerful government in the history of the planet being on your team vs the other team. And literally Hitler Putin puppet/Communist dementia man was on the ballot. The stakes couldn't be higher.

>Ballots are tracked, and then the postal worker would rely on the voter not checking the status of their ballot. If there is a pattern, then the postal worker would likely be arrested or fined, so in all likelihood each postal worker could only "lose" one or two ballots.

Your understanding of average human behavior is very different than mine.
> There have been quite a number of injuries and property damage, deployment of chemical irritants by the mob against law enforcement, and several explosive devices identified and defused

You're right, I've revised my view of the incident. I now see this constitutes sedition, an attack on our very republic.

For consistency, I've also reconsidered my view of the BLM riots. In light of the billions in property damage; the tens of direct deaths and thousands of ensuing murders; the violent mob attacks on law enforcement, replete with "chemical irritants" and Molotov cocktails; all on a scale 1e3 to 1e5 larger than what's happening in DC; I have to conclude they were a grave act of terrorism.
I just got TM-style command-T working on my vim setup thanks to wincent, it is a nice implementation: http://wincent.com/products/command-t

It was really one of the only things about TM that made me jealous :)

Also it taught me about <Leader> which I'd never even heard of before! Great way to keep your personal commands namespaced from stock vim.
Not tough when the government periodically shuts down your competitors and redirects their traffic to your site.
Someone said on Stack overflow, "I use Vim for manipulating text, Emacs to do programming and Firefox to look at funny cat pictures". I agree with that assessment.
yeah China doesn't often inflate figures to the outside world...
It's not really a choice, because in the end you get more powerful by not harvesting the Little Sisters. The only reason to do it is to see the evil ending cut scene.
I don't on mine - IIRC the phone shows a stern message if I just pull the card out, but it's not caused any major issues (not that I've been seriously stress testing this!).
If you have an iPad, you might want to take a look at cssMachine. It lets you try out the more graphical CSS properties with intuitive controls (rather than just typing code, although you can do that too)
> Sorry, ZumoCast is currently not supported on Linux

One of the big benefits of Dropbox (and something I forgot to mention) is that they work on a variety of platforms. However, I will take a look at that more when I get home on my Mac. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. Your post got me to write it, after all. =)
Hmmm, I have to wonder.

E.g. when will "Javaschools" (for which I'll include MIT since it's a Python and Java school) switch to something else?

Not any time soon (new curriculum development is expensive and very political), not even in the foreseeable future ... but when I started playing this game (1977) lower tier schools were teaching FORTRAN and COBOL. That situation did not last forever.
As someone that lives in a HCOL area (and generally likes it) I think I agree.

If I reduced my “quality of life” by eating out less and saving money, my company’s not going to pay me any less. Why should they start paying me less if I reduce my QoL by moving to somewhere I’d enjoy living in less that’s cheaper.
The victim is the penultimate social power today. The victim's outraged representative is the ultimate.

It's a role with great benefits. Thus the attraction of a narrative that supports that role.
> Ignoring that slavery touched the entirety of the continent, I'm going to guess that means your German ancestors ended up in the Midwest. Probably on Native American lands.

By that logic there isn't a square inch anywhere on the planet that wasn't "touched by slavery".

Which renders the whole notion pretty much irrelevant and diminishes the role of slavery in USA history.
okay and why am I not paying them in real currency to begin with if all I want to do is steal twitter users by paying them to come to my platform
If you want to have KDE up-to-date in Debian, the best way to help is to join the packaging team.
Thanks, cool tool ! A suggestion: Making the first column to have URL linking to the repo's homepage would be useful.
Could be that the person you contacted has their information totally open to FB
Microsoft fails constantly and people accept it? :) I would argue the exact opposite - Microsoft succeeds consistently in a lot of very measurable ways but isn't given enough credit for it (that a Google/Apple would get for doing the very same thing).
> just maybe we then should not have so large entities that nobody can be responsible for

But who says no one is responsible? There are clearly guilty parties, just not the CEO.
So Iran cannot support it's own population wrt food without imports?
That utilitarian view can make sense to some. But even a 55-year-old swimmer, cyclist and marathoner can die of this. It's way more than a pious "it was their time" thing. Let's all get past that one.
This just means there is nuance to correctly assigning blame.
Remember that devices are less powerful, and that outside the cities the connections still aren't universally that quick.

That said, many JAMstack providers are so wired into CDNs nowadays that actually serving the content closer to these users is just a baseline functionality of the webhost.
Maybe 2021 will be the year when I give Bing a real chance?

(I was simultaneously deeply impressed and worried last year when a colleague of mine showed that Bing also returns results from company intranets if they are set up correctly and you are signed in to Bing with your work account.)
On the other hand, I really like American, and only use the comparison sites to make sure I'm not getting too bad of a deal. AA out of Chicago is almost always cheaper than everything else.

(Only time AA was too expensive was when I was flying to Singapore. ORD-NRT-SIN was $11,000, ORD-LAX-HKG-SIN on Cathay was $9000. Yes, I even do price comparisons when it's not my money. And yes, the ORD-LAX segment was on AA :)
Usually in term sheets there is a clause that says the founders cannot talk publicly about the acquisition.

Salesforce can do whatever they want.
I think you are being too optimistic with the last sentence. Whenever there is a tangible benefit that only has "mostly unseen" downsites, such as food prices being low since you're subsidizing Amazon training their rekognition software, people will take that benefit since the downside doesn't mean much to them (at least in the moment). Most people see their grocery bill going down non-unsubstantial amounts and take that as a good tradeoff for having cameras and sensors figure out what you're putting in your bag, and then later seeing that grocery visit in your Amazon order history.
Hey HN, Dynaboard founder here. Sharing a bit more about how we built Dynaboard, since I think this audience will appreciate it. More will be shared in future blogs :)

Multiplayer: We used the YJS project (https://github.com/yjs/yjs) as the baseline for our multiplayer system. We created a thin harness around the client and ended up implementing our own server-side architecture to handle relaying between the various WebSocket servers. More on how we do this soon.

WebAssembly: Rather than running your custom code in an iframe, we run it inside a wasm-based sandbox, a compiled version of the QuickJS VM (yes, it's JS-in-JS). This approach gives you synchronous access to most of the DOM APIs without sacrificing safety. We do some fancy ES6 Proxy management to implement the FRP-like data binding system inside the VM. In production, the browser runs the project's precompiled bytecode. In the future, we plan to support other languages with a similar architecture (Python via Pyodide, Rust, Go, etc.).

Code editing: We use Monaco, the same editor that VS Code uses. We've had to create a handful of custom extensions, including a few custom language servers, to get it to be aware of the VM environment. I'm a vim-er so we will definitely have a vim mode.
Content distribution through paid channels can definitely work well, especially if what you are running ads on are earned media placements talking about you/your content. Gated content can work exceptionally well if it is valuable enough, and not just an obvious attempt to grab contact info.
They already do this to a certain extent. Sometimes it's after the vulnerability has already been exploited by them or a sister agency. But other times it's soon after discovery.
https://www.wikifolio.com/ does something similar for the German speaking market. One part is a social portfolio sharing / tracking component. The other is that they create securities from popular portfolios under a revenue share model with the creators.
For me it’s the opposite: I get RSI from having to stretch my hands to press 2-3 modifiers simultaneously, whereas moving my hands a bit is no problem.
I don't think there's any way to build something like CosmosDB - or even heck, s3 - at scale, without an extremely high degree of creativity on the team.
Zero bugs sounds neither practical nor necessarily desirable. I still remember to have been quite happy about the first bug report I received -- only then I knew that the software was actually being used and didn't vanish in someone's vault.

Time to market is still a thing and incompatible with overzealous bug fixing. I would settle on a zero-regression policy. Then at least you keep happy customers happy and potentially reach fewer bugs in the future.

Of course it depends on the application. An automotive ABS system has different requirements then an IRC server.
I'm skeptical that taste in art is even a thing that can pinpointed, music descriptions are especially broad and vague sometimes, but let's see if you've cracked it.

I would like to be able to receive music with specific features I'm looking for. Can the user specify, such as male, female, band, instruments, bpm, energy, key, duration, or are suggestions based on feel, genre, or perhaps similar lists finding similar listee's?

Only one way for us to find out.
Now I can't tell if this thread is meant to be satire.

> f20 selects this discussion (the 20th link) but I used f4<Enter> to select threads (the 4th link)

So first you have to visually recognize every link in between the beginning and what you want to choose and then you have to count them all? I hope you don't miscount!

> j,D, and <Space> scroll down by a line, half-screen/page and full-screen/page respectively

How many lines, half-pages, or pages is it from the top to here? Just curious.

> fr4 selects the correct reply (the fourth link whose text begins with r);

So first you have to decide that "starts with r" is a good heuristic for getting where you want to go and then you have to find all of the links that start with r and count them?

> gi goes to the first input field and enters insert mode

But if it's not the first input field, then you have to count them or cycle through them?

> Ideally though, I should have a dedicated newsreader that understands what posts, comments, etc. are

So now you want a special bespoke reader for every website?

Oh yes this all sounds so much easier than just pointing at the thing you want! Thank you for clarifying.
> For a community of hackers, there really seems to be a lack of vision when it comes to crypto specifically.

The lack of vision panned out. Bitcoin is not a good currency, it is not bringing us into a decentralized land of milk and honey, it is environmentally ruinous, and all that it has accomplished is creating yet another financial gambling market. Broadly speaking, we already have enough of those. And I guess you can still use it to buy drugs. (Although, with $10 transaction fees, probably not. The drug folks would kindly prefer it if this whole bitcoin mania could blow over, and people could go back to gambling in Vegas, or on out-of-the-money GME calls, or whatever, so they could do their business in peace.)

Of the bright predictions of the future made in 2012 about it, the only relevant one that came to fruition by 2021 is 'Many people speculating on bitcoin made a lot of money.'

Of the dour predictions of the future made in 2012 about it, only the ones I listed came true.
Maybe I'm just being cynical but I disagree. It may have appeared so outwardly, but I'm skeptical that the core motivation for mainstream journalism has ever been objectivity. I mean Manufacturing Consent is from 1988 and covers much of the 20th century, and it's not like things have improved since.
This should all be taken with a big grain of salt. The official story be just parallel construction to give cover to say zero day hacks or other covert espionage etc.
What I see as more likely is that Apple is hedging it’s bets. On the iPhone / iPad side, they continue to develop better and better processors. One day they _may_ be sufficiently better than Intel that Apple could pull a “Rosetta” a second time on the Mac, translating apps from x86 to ARM at the software level.

But that’s still a tall ask at the high end, and splitting the Mac lineup into models that can’t all run the same software isn’t appealing.

So in the meantime, it makes sense to push the iPad toward being a stronger and stronger computing platform with things like the recently added trackpad, better multi tasking, etc. They’ve got a way to go, but given a few more years of iteration, who knows how many more of the “real computer” niches the iPad can fill.

If the processor advantage never reaches the point that it can emulate x86 at full speed, then the Mac line probably won’t transition, and Apple will probably shift it farther upmarket as the iPad cannibalizes every use case that doesn’t need x86. And if the processors do get that much better, then ARM comes to the Mac.

Either way, Apple is in a good place to leverage the iPad as their vision of what the next generation of the personal computer looks like.
Wikipedia says there are more than 3,000 cases in south america. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in...
...you're talking about Germany? The comment I was replying to was "in a lot of places in the U.S. people are being told to stay home unless they have a specific, approved reason to go out".
There's a decent amount of evidence to suggest it did, and China has already shown themselves unreliable (putting it mildly) regarding information about the virus. I don't think you have a leg to stand on if you propose to speak with such certainty.
This used to have no value to me. But years into my career I discovered that I can't live without it. Detective work on the history of code is vital to truly groking why things are the way they are in code bases.
That's what I'm alluding to, yes. If there was ever a test of it, this would be it. I guess we see what happens soon.
Apple has re-opened Apple stores and factories there, while shutting down Apple stores everywhere else. No matter how you feel about the PRC there's no reason to doubt Tim Cook.
Sorry but I just can’t see this play out.

Consumption will suffer. When foreign tourists stop booking rooms in Copenhagen hotels, how/why keep people on the payroll? Also, isn’t it dangerous to distort the market to such a level? Maybe there are more productive activities for those employees to engage.

There will be dislocations of the workforce. Considering the ongoing crisis I would take official statements with a grain of salt also. They need to convince people to comply with the rules.
"When I'm working on a paper, on the other hand, it's way more productive to have my coauthors right next to me"

And this is why a lot of startups work well in an open plan. When there are only 5 people in the company it can work well.

It is a completely different situation than the typical 80-150 people per floor open plans of larger companies.
From personal experience - AWS is slow. The latencies are far below industry average in our testing.
At least Colors had an App
