That's a great idea.

I actually rarely come to HN itself, though, because so many links are (what I personally consider to be) clickbait. They don't live up to the promises of their titles.

I now use a service that converts HN posts with 150+ upvotes into a feed. That gives me the cream of the crop, and it's limited to maybe 10 articles a day.

So your solution would probably limit uninteresting posts, but I personally am trying to find a way to limit posts that don't help me learn/grow/stay informed.

A good example are recent posts of the Ant-Man trailer. I find it interesting, but I don't actually get value out of watching it. I need to be protected from my own curiosity, so to speak.

Another solution I thought of would be to have a site where editors can curate the news every day. You find an editor you like, with similar values to you, and you follow that editor. They can only publish a certain number of stories a day.
> There is a lot of talk about how people who get tips generally get a very low wage to start and if they don't get good tips they make a lot less.

Minimum wage is a very low wage to start. I don't know any taxi drivers, but most waiters I know expect significantly more than minimum wage.
Gah, I'm really jealous! Just to be able to read all those books all over again with a fresh eye.

Find a copy of Neuromancer if you can & enjoy!
You make a couple of assumtions that are just weird.

There's no reason to assume tha bait bikes are going to be cheap bikes, nor that all bait bikes would be the same make and model.
Probably right, sorry for jumping to conclusions too hastily (a common antipattern on the ol' internets). Certainly if someone deleted a parent comment, there's several design decisions for comment services on how to handle child threads. One would hope that if a parent comment were deleted, it would leave a placeholder like HN, but it's doubtful that it's only design branch taken.
This is about giving tips via a chat room about trades to be made minutes or hours later. Millisecond trading is completely irrelevant.
Heisenbugs: When you test for them they don't appear anymore. (Add a printf, et voila the race condition is gone). - I've personally experienced this one. Race condition/deadlock between 3 different threads. One mutex was inside the debug function :)

Schrödinbug: The code should/could have never worked in the first place, but did. Once you saw the code, and realized it shouldn't work, it stops working.

Are you skeptical of the idea that there are really people so dishonest that they would claim on their resume to know a language of which they have only copied and pasted chunks? Don't be. I've interviewed some of these people. I wish I could add them to some kind of global blacklist to stop others from wasting their time on them.
Re: #2 "read in a different room"

Inapplicable for me - I often lie in bed for a long period of time with my mind buzzing about work/responsibilities/projects/news/... But if I read a few pages of a novel in bed, it shifts my brain right out of "active" mode into "sleep" mode, and I can fall asleep easily. Reading in another room involves climbing the stairs and puts me right back into active mode.

The important part is that in-bed activities prepare you for sleep, rather than encouraging wakefulness. (e.g., my wife will read to the end of the novel rather than going to sleep...)
As best I can tell, it's a mix of forces.

Gyroscopic action helps keep the bike upright by slowing falls. (at 100mph on a motorcycle, you must apply significant force to lean over quickly)

Rake (trail) makes it less likely the front wheel will be deflected by small bumps, and I suspect it also helps settle the bike back into neutral position. In other words, decreases the number of significant self-steering corrections that must be made.

Then, some third force does the wheel turning. I personally suspect it is tied to the way the front wheel falls to the right if you suspend the bike and lean it right.

Note: Honestly, from the diagram at 2:03 it looks like they did not eliminate gyroscopic action and trail. They merely greatly reduce gyroscopic action, reduce rake, and invert trail.
You know I've thought about this for awhile and I'm starting to come to the conclusion that inflation is a good thing. Having a currency that doesn't inflate is bad for 2 reasons. 1. The population keeps growing, 2. Humans are hoarders. Having currency inflate encourages society to use their money instead of squirreling it all away. Everything in life devalues over time and I don't think currency should be any different.

However I don't believe currency should be unpredicatble and inflate at the whims of the government.
For the love of god, please please please download as much as you can and post it on BitTorrent and Archive.org or some other site.
Bitcoins can be transferred between accounts without a need for an intermediary financial institution, whilst maintaining an equivalent level of security. That in itself has significant value.
It's using Canvas, so yes it's HTML5. And even though it's using Javascript, I've always considered that to be the tool you use to communicate with the HTML API. The same goes for CSS to some extent, too.

Anyway, the average joe needs a buzzword to sum up all the new browser advancements. "HTML5" isn't that bad, at least it makes sense.

Unless you prefer 'Web 3.0'? :)
I think this is fairly short sighted - they've got a lot of people to lose before they become irrelevant and they're still in a growth curve.
You might try corkscrew (http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew/). It can tunnel a raw connection over many HTTP proxies. Some corporations block all outgoing ports, then use an HTTP+SSL proxy to filter and monitor all traffic (including SSL traffic). Use SSH over corkscrew through the proxy, with the ssh option to establish a local SOCKS proxy tunneled to the remote host, and you're good to go.
> Probably, the outbox might have a different structure than the inbox, and lack some kinds of IDs.

It should be trivial to associate the messages the mail client sends to the messages it gets from a server. If nothing else, you have the full original message.
I suspect this is less of an issue with the language (implementation) and more an issue with the fact that canvas is just that: a pixel buffer, whereas Flash allows higher-level geometric constructs which may be rendered more efficiently (batching, only redrawing dirty areas, etc.).

I also wonder if the occasional jerkiness is caused by the fact that setInterval() makes no hard guarantees for call frequency. To compete on animations, HTML canvas will realistically need to provide a guaranteed redraw callback that runs at the same rate as the system VSync.
So you won't accept video evidence given by named doctors at specific hospitals, thus easily checked by the media or anyone who has anything to do with the hospital.

What evidence would you accept?
Having different apps is probably a step forward indeed. But (as far as I understand) just having WhatsApp installed on my phone allows them to keep an eye on my contact list. That sounds quite despicable to me.
I'm crazy - but for quite a long time I am thinking about setting up something like my own instance of jabber and give credentials to my loved ones... Maybe there are better alternatives than jabber, as long as I can host it myself.
Reminds me of the day the entire HN crowd switched to Gitlab when Microsoft bought Github.
... or just use thick soundproof curtains.
Accidental? I reckon those responsible are likely incapable of avoiding unnecessary complexity. Further, I think any talk of "simplicity" may make them uncomfortable.
A huge number of neurons interacting with each other giving you the ability to see, sense, hear... With a network that loops and give you illusion of your existence. The human spirit is just another human invention that was made to explain the human existence. I don't find actually any clear definition to it.
well. If you were intentionally allowing certain replacements to be in HTML (because they come from a trusted source or because you sanitized them before) and so you weren't using the h helper in rails, when you move to 3.0, you will see escaped code just the same as if PHP changed echo to escape its parameters.

Both the update to rails 3.0 or to a hypothetical new release of PHP which escapes parameters to echo would cause the same amount of work.

What you could say is that rails is less afraid to force change on people and that conversely, PHP puts more emphasis on backwards compatibility.

Both have their advantages and their disadvantages, so this particular issue, I feel, really can't be used to show the inferiority of PHP. Parameter order of functions? Crude syntax? Strange case sensitivity rules? Awful, counterintuitive == operator? Sure. Emphasis on backwards compatibility? IMHO not really.
It looks like it's run by Facebook to promote quality campaigns amongst the marketing community. My first thought: "Dribbble for Facebook campaigns"
Well, from her list, I do read a few: Kenner and Powers within the last six months; Ransom not recently, but I could recite at least two, maybe four of his poems most of the way through with reasonable accuracy. Others I have read, and consider to have taken on a factitious importance from America's own sense of itself following WW II. I wonder how any of Bellow outside _Seize the Day_ will last, or Updike, or Mailer.

I don't want to be well-read, though I often want to read.

(And is John Auerbach really Erich Auerbach in disguise?--go to Google and see what you think.)
"I think I tend to be more of an absurdist than anything else. Interesting for those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism.

Thanks, nice find. I always thought I'm an existentialist,
but no, I'm an absurdist.
Regarding lists, this one by Fadiman&Major is one of the most compact and pertinent I have seen:

Most sites are just app-supported. I know this is sort of a logical progression, but a site specifically for browsing random applications seems a little weird. Is that just me?

Seriously, every web industry has it's galleries, ad websites have been for ages, even ones with banners only http://bannerblog.com.au/
Arrays (and everything else) should be objects. That would also solve the pass-by-reference issue and would clean up the global namespace that's littered with array_* functions.
It's an obvious jab at Stack Overflow (and its sister sites) which has been rotting alive for a while. While I'm not convinced Google can do anything long-term except ads, sheer pressure from the giant will finally force Stack Exchange to fold and seek an exit by acquisition. It's all speculative, but Microsoft may be a likely buyer.
That's a good point. I haven't really thought about transferring messages since I use Disappearing Messages [1] for almost all conversations.

> I do not believe that all things are false until proven true. I believe that Christianity, and many other religions, can be neither proven or disproven using modern science. It is neither misinformation or information. It is a belief.

Where we disagree is that you think that a 2000 year old text that's been translated 7 or 8 times and by what we would consider today to be idiots (human IQ has increased dramatically over time, in 1910 alone the IQ midpoint would be today's 70, which is a full standard deviation lower) - should be given the benefit of the doubt and be granted a reverse burden of proof. Idiots mind you who would have you burned at the stake for the laptop you're replying on.

The scriptures should be approached analytically with modern techniques. Does anything in there line up with observable reality? No. Is there a plausible explanation? No. Ergo, we should assume its false unless we discover some evidence that it might be true.

The challenge with doing that is religions rely on indoctrinating the youth before they're capable of making rational evaluations and play to our evolutionary weaknesses (the need for an explanation).

> There are plenty of rare events that occur, with and without scientific explanation.

Indeed but I'm not going to recommend telling a 4 year old I've just dunked under water about them based on a book written by an idiot 2000 years ago.

> It is neither misinformation or information. It is a belief.

It's a myth. Myths are fine, but shouldn't be presented as fact. And they certainly shouldn't be true until proven false.

By this token, until you prove otherwise, the whole world was started on a giant turtle. [1]

In some ways it brought back old memories of storming of Stasi HQ in Eastern Berlin[0]. I couldn't find references to that effect, but I recall there was talk back then that among the first ones to breach the Stasi were people from the western intelligence agencies, who had a pretty good idea of where to go and what to grab.

I think this is a functional side effect of their communities. I’ve watched it happen on a smaller scale numerous times where people evict critical folk from their community. What you end up with is a snowballing monoculture which believes it is right because there is nothing to test ideas against.

This usually decays into a right mess as is outlined.

This is nothing to do with tech. It’s closer to burning witches who are undesirable in your community. It makes your community broken.
But you can start at new chat in WhatsApp via https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=XXXXXXX

Does not work for me in Firefox, but in Chrome on Android, I can start a new chat without access to the contacts. I agree that it is weird though!
It's not really kosher to throw out claims with no basis in fact, and then say it's bike shedding if someone calls you on it. If you want to have an intellectual discussion about serious issues, you shouldn't open with making things up that you think make your options look more authoritative.

If we want to have a discussion, we need to start by being intellectually honest. Part of that is not making claims of facts that don't exist.

On a very real level, are you saying nonsense. Do you think that a human is reading what you type into Google and saying "haha, time to auto complete this with my liberal bias!!". How exactly do you think this technology works? And why do you think it had anything to do with this announcement about political ads? There is so much illiteracy to unpack in a short space.
It seems fraudulent in that it would evidently not be an honest review, complicated by the fact that the review would essentially be paid promotional content because you were paid for it.
> So at some level, hard work must matter. And if it didn't, why are companies copying the designs? Can't they just scribble something on a default shoe and call it a day?

You're confusing inputs with outputs, processes with results. Hard work is a process that may lead to a quality final result. But consumers don't pay for the process. They pay for the result.
The problem is, you have no idea if you're missing out because you aren't getting them.

I use Google Voice and my family uses group text to coordinate things like dinner. I only knew about dinner because my wife gets the group texts.

GVoice eventually fixed the group text problem, but I don't get all the messages and I get them out of order. I also get other group texts with important info that I wasn't getting before.

I have no idea how many other group texts I'm missing out on that I might actually want to be a part of or was missing out on. Everyone assumes that group text works with all recipients all the time, and since it has no way of telling the sender it failed to deliver, no one ever follows up.
Cannot be used out of embarrassment, or you are actually ‘de-facing’ the identity?

For example, shutterstock logo sure doesn’t stop people from using those. Plus there are open source tools to reverse such watermarking.
i kept it at room temperature for 3 months and it already went bad. Merde I’m going back to France.
I imagine that the idea is that, for example, the lumber store would have a truck to deliver to your house, so that each and every person doesn’t need their own lumber-hauler.
Wow, that is impressive
Can I recommend finding work in Go? It’s a good fit for “makes you type a lot of things” while being super clear what’s going on. It’s basically C with memory safety-ish and a good standard library that includes modern things.
That's not the type of people he's talking about. Only a decade he said, referring to Americans who have only been able to openly grow cannabis over the past decade.
yeah depends on your site structure.. you could always stop the logging (or log to a different file) but return a human 404 with links to legit routes etc. the main thing is to remove the noise so you can focus on the more targeted probing.

There is a shocking amount of "non-human" activity. I think there are definitely bots, but also people that are paid to promote one narrative or another (paid with money or social validation).

I've trolled through many a twitter/reddit account when I sniff something off about a post. They are often hyper focused on a single topic, pushing a specific point of view. Rarely is this mentioned. Its "hail corporate" vibes but in a guerilla fashion.
I like it; it is similar to a project I made for my iPhone.

Isn't it just a bunch of packaged JS scripts with some GUI slapped on top?
Not sure why I'm being downvoted. I want to buy one, I'm completely serious.

It doesn't have to be fantastically high res, it doesn't even need to do color well or have a good bit-depth, having 2 or 3 bits of RGB is good enough.
Seems to me the textbook example of Java people trying to make everything Java (and failing at it, as usual)

While it's funny (and sometimes silly) to see a huge amount of .js libraries popping up, they're not adding a big block between the programmer and the browser.

And js may have its quirks, but it's not java and I'm thankful for that. I'd rather use js over java anyday, unless there's something really dependent on it.
I would like Atom to be it but it's just not there yet. Takes a long time to start, something really really important for a text editor. Also not really responsive (as compared to sublime).
I would want to see more than a couple of independent tests verifying this is actually safer before it were allowed on roads. I can see the potential benefits but there are enough terrible drivers already without introducing more distractions.
RT would have been amazing if they had been able to create an x86/64 emulator. Even if it ran 50% slower than on a native CPU and even if it ate battery like crazy at least it would have given the platform a nice back-catalogue.

Instead not only did RT have virtually no software on it, but Microsoft went out of their way to make it "impossible" to build ARM-native software for it without essentially hacking into your own system.

Microsoft set RT on the road to ruin from almost day one. It is unsurprising that they're pulling the plug. I will say when they announced the Surface Pro 3 without a Surface RT 3, the writing was on the wall as far as end of life...
This is crazy, these pictures look like they're from a dystopian future. Can you imagine if this happened in the U.S.?
This sums up my experience with Seagate. I bought my first Barracuda 3TB two months ago, it died out 20 days later with the notorious two-click sound.

I can't even be bothered to push warranty for replacement, terrible.
Sticking with WD from now on.
Like many people, Einstein's life and work has been fascinating to me, but in comparison to other brilliant scientists of the twentieth century, there are at least a handful if not a dozen or couple of dozen people who were and are equally as intelligent, brilliant, and more prolific.

That said, I find Einstein-worship annoying.

The cultural obsession with Einstein and cult of personality detracts from the reality that scientific achievement, knowledge, intelligence and wisdom all lie on a multi-dimensional spectrum, they aren't innate, and like any skill, mathematics and scientific knowledge can be learned.

Even more so to say that there have been other geniuses at least at the level of Einstein who didn't land in the position of theoretical physics that afforded them the same level impact.

As for special relativity, based on the development of physics and mathematics of the time 1880-1910, I think it was a toss-up who would have discovered it if Einstein had actually fallen off that mountain in Switzerland in grade school and not been save by his classmate.
When everyone's wearing this I'm gonna dress up as Ronald McDonald and walk invisibly through the crowds.
Case in point: think about lasers. They were described as interesting but totally useless phenomena when first developed in the 50s/60s. They were called a "solution looking for a problem". Look where are we now with them, just 50 years later.
I would 100% opposed to this type of opaque tax system where the amount of money taken by the government is never reveled to the people it is taken from.
Frame rust isn't a big deal on bicycle. Even in the 80's high-alloy steel like 4130 "Chromo" has been popular with bicycles.
I've abused my 70's mtb bicycle with thousands of km of rustbelt winter riding and my frame shows no worrying corrosion, just surface discoloration where the paint has been scratched.

Carbon fiber is more durable than people give it credit for too, though because it's a brittle material that fails suddenly, larger safety factors should be used.
I usually use https://geizhals.de/ since it is more tech related. Useable for people living in EU/UK/AT/DE/PL.
> The egoism on display here is pretty offputting

This is not egoism, but indeed straight narcissism. And it matches overstating a "vision". The intoxicating part may be the dream of recognition and importance. I don't think this is a good metric to assign value, at all.
Just to back OP up a bit, this was indeed heavily publicized in the Israeli press. Though obviously your caveats apply - it's too early to tell if this is a real cure for COVID since it's just one experiment.
I’d go further and make the filings/payments due the Tuesday after the first Monday in October (about a month before general elections) so the debates on government programs and policies can be held in context to what those programs cost.
Ah wow didn't know that. Then I join your initial sentiment.
