china has extradition laws just like the US. But the major difference (other than the list of countries they have treaties with) is if you insult the US government, nothing would happen, if you insulted the ccp, they would make up some false accusations to extradite you and throw you in jail, like whats happening already with Hong Kong.

So you're definitely safer with the US than you are with china.
The recommendation should be based on what a large fraction of my time is spent on (average over the timeline of my history), rather than a large of fraction of people who watch the last watched video is based on. Why does one video entirely screw up my historical record? I can't remember being recommended one 3Blue1Brown video in the last year, despite being subscribed to him. It's bizarre.
Semi-intentional compartmentalization could explain it.

Ads: we could increase revenue if we had access to WhatsApp data, but that's Product and Legal's call.

Product: Ads asked us to access WhatsApp data, but we're just facilitating between them and Legal.

Legal: Ads and Product asked us to change the policy to allow access to WhatsApp data.

Nobody being willfully malicious, just not asking certain questions, and the gaps between departments obfuscate the whole thing.
You can't break and enter non-violently.
One side does not want to hear the other side's version. Communication did not happen because:
1) cancel culture
2) snowflake culture
3) main stream media bias, completely shutting down one side, and lying often

There has been a huge decline in how people are able to deal with uncomfortable conversations, so it's not surprising there is widespread confusion and frustration.

We're all somewhat guilty of sometimes not communicating perfectly, but which culture over the past four years promoted censorship? which culture promoted shutting people up and demonizing them? We will see these times very differently in the near future, I think.

edit: and of course this gets downvoted lol. When are we ever going to at least start listening without visceral emotional reactions, I wonder.
You've left out the fact that The_Donald was banned from reddit for repeatedly and egregiously breaking site wide rules on harassment, brigading, and issuing death threats. Despite the mods efforts to keep it clean the subreddit was a cesspit that was only getting more extreme.

I don't agree with other subreddits automatically banning people based on post history, but I can see why the subreddit was banned, along with the left leaning subreddit chapotraphouse which engaged in similar behaviour.
I'm talking about confiscating property in a banal, rule based democracy sort of way, not by mobs.

Humans seem to be wired via evolution to tolerate being controlled by higher status humans otherwise I'd expect confiscation of property to be a popular proposition in a world where high status people own the majority of property and wealth inequality keeps increasing.

We'd have more discussions about where institutiins are serving us well and less about "those poor CEOs, think of their feelings" if we weren't seemingly wired to care about high status people's desires more than our own needs.

I have seen the question on hacker news now and again and it was kind of hard to understand what the allure of the valley was until I visited for a week at Startup School. It was fascinating to view and compare it to my own experiences. I have thought many times that you can change things and break the mould but when you see the tidal wave of constant and relentless, for the want of a better word, progress it makes you see how difficult and how many factors are involved in creating another Silicon Valley.
Let's hope it gets the same fate as the Wave did... death.

Although new exciting and innovative... it's too radical and rather little too open. Not to mention, when will you ever get your work done.

I was watching Mark Twain Award to Tina Fey last nite and they showed a little clip from the movie Mean Girls which she wrote. Basically that scene epitomizes what will happen if you try to maintain a massive multiple thread msgs. You'll eventually get to a point where you won't know what you're saying to whom.
and manages to include the phrase "raging woody".
Facebook is an example of a product with distinct modes of use for different audiences (the users and the advertisers). One audience pays, the other does not.
For sites that don't want the overhead of full user-to-user messaging, I've wondered if it would make sense to have a single kind of private form message: "I'd like to talk, here's my contact info."

It'd be a single tick to send to someone, and they'd decide what to do from there -- perhaps just clear the 'contact requested' flag with a single tick of their own.
It's only sort of forced -- conscription is there for cultural reasons, not out of necessity. From what I understand (which could be wrong), pretty much anyone can get out of the army there if they want. But people like the symbolism of "everyone serves".

Certainly it doesn't behave according to standard "market" rules though, even in a situation where they abolished the "forced" part and left it to culture to enforce service from 18-21.
There are two things that strike me as odd in this report:

1) Why would you go through the process of switching the language. There are perfectly suitable frameworks in PHP, e.g. Symfony, that have the exact same approaches than Django and ROR. MVC, ORM and configuration over Convention over Configuration. Once you have a team that is good at a Language, you'll loose a lot in switching... and this leads me to the second question:

2) How can it take 22 month to rewrite this kind of application? A bit of CRUD and workflow should not take so much time.

WDYT?

Author here. I'm super stoked to release this to the wild. I know I've gotten feedback from a few of you guys and I am super appreciative of the great community we got here! My hope is that this video course will be a great resource for people wanting to get into Go.

As always, this course has the signature codegangsta quality and some other nice features from the Kajabi platform.

If you have any friends that are interested in learning Go this way let me know! I'm always interested in finding great ways to get people excited about the language!
I'm male and have a Pinterest acccount -- it is used solely when I plan on spending time baking with my girlfriend or my mother.
I don't think this is necessarily bad in this case. It's quite normal for busy people to focus on their work, many YC startup founders do the same.

The first submission has caused quite a hot discussion, so submitting again the next day isn't overkill IMO.
Neil Young and censorious tendencies are the problem, not Joe Rogan. Maybe that should be his new band name.
The problem I'm seeing with open source projects lately, is that they are essentially ran by companies who claim to support open source but yet almost every decision they make counters that. They are happy to have people work on their projects for free, but then you end up having to assign your work to them and they turn around and change their licensing or contributions later on where you no longer even own the open source efforts you put into the software. To them open source is just another business opportunity, but when it comes to values they could care less.
Pretty much everyone who I looked up to who was an X and said: "You should be an X".
In the early 80's at Rice University my academic advisor steered me from computer science which I enjoyed (APL rocked!) to chemical engineering because "computers will be programming themselves in 20 years and comp sci isn't real engineering anyways". I hated chem eng but after a decade of detours final came back to coding. I didn't mind the detours but it was spectacularly bad advice and I was dumb enough to take it.
There's a reason HP started in a garage in Palo Alto, not in San Francisco. The city is markedly more expensive yet draws on largely the same talent pool as the valley—there's no shortage of people who commute either direction (including me). I don't think the city makes sense for a startup unless you're planning to interact heavily with Big Media, and there it's hard to argue against a branch in New York instead.
I just thought of a feature. Instead of posting a link to a previous discussion, you should be able to "merge" a new thread with an old one. Perhaps the new url and post could be added to the previous post, but the discussion itself would be more "persistent". Sometimes there is more to say, sometimes the original discussion is worth revisiting, etc.
What API-breaking changes? Moving a library from stdlib to a gem doesn't change the API of the library.

About the only difference is having to invoke rubygems before the require.

However, changing what people can expect by default in a standard Ruby installation is more of a paradigm change (albeit not terribly grand).
I think the point was that iOS apps have a set of fixed prices in each area (in local currency). Here in the UK the cheapest non-free app is 59p (corresponding with a 99c app in the US store), the next is £1.19 ($1.99), and so on. This makes for a better user experience because people can think in terms of the price brackets.

Here is a summary of the price brackets:

Considering that da Vinci very likely never said that, your invocation of his authority is ironic.

Well shit, all I can say on the subject is exactly what an originality-challenged dean would say to his class of incoming freshmen (if deans actually addressed classes of incoming freshmen): what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.

Want to take advantage of being able to spend four years learning from some of the best minds in every field of human endeavour? Four years set free on hundreds of possible courses, millions of available books, and hundreds of professors willing to answer (well-posed) questions about their work? It's easy to go into a Bachelor's and come out knowing a lot of great stuff.

On the other hand, if you want to put the minimum of energy into getting your Bachelor's degree by picking the easiest subjects and doing the minimum of work to get through them then, yeah, you can come out of the university without knowing much at all. That's partly the university's fault (they really don't flunk nearly enough students nowadays) but mostly your own.

"But", you say, "couldn't I just spend four years in the library and learn all that stuff anyway for slightly less (once opportunity costs are taken into account) money?" And the answer is: probably not. Books + lectures + professors will teach you much better than books alone. The big enemy when learning from books is not the stuff that you don't know, it's the stuff you think you know that's wrong, because you misunderstood something the first time (it happens to all of us, sometimes books are unclear) and never got corrected on it. (This is why you'll find that the internet is full of self-taught physicists who are disproving relativity or thermodynamics because they've misunderstood some aspect of it).

It's telling that many of the folks who are pushing the "we don't need no education" meme are programmers by trade, since programming is one of the very few skills that you can learn effectively on your own by reading books. Why? Because it's easy to know when you're wrong: it'll result in your code not having the desired effect.
baller. I can't wait to see the finished product
Over the life of a typical contract, this amounts to less than 10% cheaper than an iPhone. Not a substantive price difference... and significantly inferior quality. It's actually Apple's supply chain integration that has allowed it to come so close.

If you don't believe me, buy an Evo 4G and try to use it all day for a few calls and occasional surfing or app use. The battery will be dead by 4:30pm... and that is a phone that costs >= the iPhone 4G.

The low end Android phones are so far behind state of the art Android that they are simply a way of tricking unsuspecting consumers (drawn to the touch screen and shiny icons) into buying a low end phone that is locked into an already out of date OS version.

I realize consumers are naive now, but not for long. Google is trying to cash in on its brand image and help handset manufacturers hawk garbage phones at naive consumers. B/c of the contracts typically sold with the phones, human psychology often prevents these consumers from admitting they've been had. Worse, it may permanently sour many older users to smart phones.

I love Google and am actually rooting for Google to win or at least come out with a phone that I want to own, but let's at least be honest about its strategy to date. Getting an Android phone in 2011 is like buying a Gateway 2000 PC in 2000 -- loaded full of garbageware to the point of hampered performance, and full of bold claims about performance that don't hold water... coasting on the brand's previous accomplishments.
Your description and the one at Ars makes it sounds very cut-and-dried. What that makes me wonder is that the lawyers at Righthaven must have been aware of this flaw in their arrangement from the beginning, and they were just banking on the truth never getting out. Is that your take, or is it possible they weren't aware of this flaw?

I would also want to know the impact of a counter weight attached to the earth and it's effect on our ability to orbit naturally while it's drag is attached to even water. Could an impact on this force it into a spin around Earth creating Centrifugal force or something not studied before?

The language and documentation is pretty awful, however I use NixOS (and therefore Nix) on my work desktop and still absolutely love it. The ability to create reproducible builds, test out tools without installing them permanently, and roll the OS back if you break something is just excellent.

For example I spent ages this morning trying to get a gRPC Rust environment working and battled the nix file for a good two hours but now it works I know it will always work and never have to do it again.
This doesn't really fly unfortunately. Eat vegan/vegetarian and you will have a minimal impact, that is what you see/hear everywhere. But in the meanwhile these new vegan/vegetarian companies are a huge cause of the deforestation of the Amazon [1]. The amount of vegan/vegetarian food necessary to actually get the same amount of nutrients are on a different planet and simple math shows that it wouldn't even work if we used the entire planet. What I'm getting at is that is that it isn't all black and white and what we need is something sustainable that works and that it isn't really an easily solved problem.

The author shared the following insight.

"[It's] nearly impossible to study using non-invasive measures in humans. However, there is a paper on effects of exercise in humans where the authors talk about an in vivo correlate of adult neurogenesis:

Pereira AC, Huddleston DE, Brickman AM, Sosunov AA, Hen R, McKhann GM, Sloan R, Gage FH, Brown TR & Small SA (2007). Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 104, 5638–5643.

This is pretty old, so maybe there would be more recent studies to be found. However, thinking about the relevance of using rodents to study human brain (because we are of course interested in the human brain, not the rat brain), there is close resemblance in terms of structure and function. Please see the following papers for details:
Clark RE, Squire LR. 2013. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 110 Suppl 2(Suppl 2):10365-70
Bergmann E, Zur G, Bershadsky G, Kahn I. 2016. Cereb Cortex. 26(12):4497-4512."

It would be interesting hear from a compiler guy why it's hard to produce this sort of code on x86 compiling from C or OpenCL. Bonus points for GPU version :)

My bet is that it doesn't work. My experience is that they are assuming that, just like those recruiters and hiring managers that look for “an active github” and swear by that
The only reason a 10 year old macbook seems like a miracle is because expectations are low for the Apple brand particularly. For other brands of laptop, 10 years old isn't terribly unusual. And for diy PC builds, I dare say 10 years old is actually typical (albeit usually in a 'Ship of Theseus' sense, but that's the point isn't it?)
This is correct, I wasn't paying attention.

If you actually wanted to build a base on Marie Byrd Land, I'm sure it could be done relatively cheaply, in the tens-of-millions-of-dollars range. Then quite a few more million dollars a year to keep it supplied and running. Certainly well within the capabilities of any multi-billionaire.

It's still not clear why you'd want to, though. I doubt you could avoid much in taxes, and it's really unpleasantly cold down there. On the upside you'd probably be safe from pirates.

edit: A nice yacht is probably cheaper per square foot than an Antarctic base, and tends to have much better weather.
"gets engineers to prioritize stuff"

Yes. And jives with Kayak.com founder's Big Red Phone tactic:

"About a year ago, I bought a red telephone with a really loud ringer for the office. Whenever a customer calls the help number on our website, that phone rings. The engineers initially complained about it. They said, "That's so friggin' annoying!" And I'd say, "There's a really simple solution: Answer the friggin' phone and do whatever it takes to make that customer happy. Then hang up, unplug the phone, walk it down to the other end of the office, and plug it in down there."

To a very large degree, I agree with what you say. If we go any further I think it would amount to nit picking.
Have you A/B tested making the buy button more obvious? Bigger and more prominently colored? Also, maybe you're better off, for the cases where you have multiple affiliate links, to make one of them big and shiny and put in small letters below 'also available on...' You'd made the affiliate that pays out most the prominent one of course, if your contract allows that. I like the site, this would be exactly the type of site I'd love to have if I were in the market for an ipad case.
They want to do something called a "Bottom Kill" vs. a "Top Kill". So you have to be at the bottom of the well.

A top kill doesn't always work, but a bottom kill is pretty guaranteed.

The oil pushes whatever material you inject up. So you want to be at the bottom so the material fills the entire pipe.
Just to update often :)

There was/is a bunch of stuff which was completely different from the publiched docs, and all of it was know to the support staff. Seems to me a bit bureaucratic to have know issues which haven't found their way to the official docs.
The point was about how things come out of the box - for the consumer, not the prosumer :). Of course it's annoying to jailbreak. That's why, for all intents and purposes, it doesn't matter. It's like Δx^2 while you take the first derivative: in the end, jailbreaking doesn't really affect the sales of a product.

Anyway, red squiggly lines are good for checking a mass of text after the fact. But only if your input method does not allow for checking and correcting at time of input. When this type of thing happens at input-type instead of scan-before-hitting-reply-time, you're probably less likely to miss something.

Also, given that you can manually add words to the phone's dictionary is something my iPhone never did have (another win for Android).
Signing should take about 5 minutes - the most I have had (with a simple extension) is 15. Publishing takes ages though.
That should work with just a removal of the "text-shadow" line.

Thank, that is interesting, to solve it: The lagged software should be given patch to critical bugs as soon as they are available, and the time lag for some products could be something like six months depending on the product. That is the company should provide patch for the critical bugs in the old version if such patch are available or help to solve that. The idea is that the company only keep the advantage of new features not taking advantage of critical bugs to sell the new version.
I feel like I'm losing my mind reading this comment thread. How can there be any people that think abolishing timezones is a good idea? The article covers the obvious problems pretty well.
Microsoft obviously should NOT first "complete" their C++11 support since there may very well be more important features in C++14 than some arcane features no-one would use in C++11. Same applies to all the other compiler vendors and all versions of the standard.
