I like the idea of 'ready made' customer feedback platforms with analytics but I still sense the hardest problem is left unanswered ... how do I get my customers to participate in the customer feedback process? And to do so with integrity?

Kluster (http://www.kluster.com) took a stab at this game by turning branding/marketing processes into social games, not sure where they are at today with those initial products but that did seem to garner a lot of attention early on.
In many states it is illegal to record a conversation unless all parties of the conversation have knowledge of the recording (and thus give implied consent).
The word "homophobia" was derived, it's not a true phobia in the psychiatric sense.

If it were, then there would be people who become irrationally terrified when presented with groupings of things that are all the same.

It's more akin to a portmanteau. But that doesn't mean the phenomena it describes are not very real ones.

I would argue that homophobia and transphobia are both describing the same underlying phenomenon. But I also respect that there is fierce debate around that question.
I guess it's an interesting question to wonder how broken elementary students are ending up. We wouldn't probably notice anything wrong because everyone would be broken.
> People get shot over things that amount to less than a minimum wage paycheck, that doesn't mean she is dead.

No, just that there is a fair chance.

> Your example of Bulger is bad, he was 89 at the time of his death, that's 10 years older than the avg European male's lifespan.

My point was: and yet he didn't make it. His end wasn't exactly peaceful by any stretch of the imagination and he was an outlier for living that long. He only managed because he laid low for a long time (16 years!), if not for that he'd have been killed in the same manner or worse long before.

Bulger is a bad example for only one reason: he turned information on the Mafia over to the authorities, which is a bit of a career limiting move for a criminal. Note that between his arrival in the penitentiary where he was murdered and his demise only a scant few hours passed.

But still, as you correctly state, he lived to 89, which is older than most and that's why he's exceptional, a hardened criminal, former gang leader able to live to that age is noteworthy.
Web applications are a bit more complicated, but that complication is self-inflicted. We developers choose to to hijack users' devices for work that should be done on the server in the name of providing a better user experience, and we make our work harder in the process.

I think you are absolutely right with "self-inflicted" --- it brings to mind the frequent discussions here about Slack and their web-based client using hundreds of MB to gigabytes of memory for what is essentially "IRC with some images". Not too long ago they "stopped supporting" older browsers, which was basically a kick in the face to everyone for whom it was working perfectly fine before.

I remember using "webchats" in the late 90s/early 2000s with IE6 (or could be 5/5.5, not sure) on machines with probably 1/100th the processing power and memory of ones today, and they worked perfectly well; complete with things like animated emoticons (they weren't called "emoji" yet) and GIFs that didn't even lag the system unlike what happens today, and that was on a single-core CPU!

A possibly fun project is to create a Slack clone that works with that resource constraint, and uses their API; they have a WebSocket interface which older browsers are obviously not capable of using, but I believe there's a classic AJAX API too.
Why does XKCD have to be SO relevant SO damn much?

From what I'm hearing, it seems to vary a lot from person to person. I would see a lot of popups on the official Youtube App for Android. Youtube was also really interested in getting me to install the Youtube Music app, even though one of the big benefits of Youtube Red in the first place was supposed to be background listening. Youtube Kids was advertised a lot, I didn't understand how I fit the target demographic for that one.

I also saw a lot of advertisements for addons or benefits (here's a Youtube Red exclusive video from some random B-list celebrity that doesn't belong in your recommendations). And I got a lot of tutorials and tips, like popups for how to subscribe to channels. That always felt weird to me, because even if I didn't pay for Youtube Red, surely after a while Youtube would figure out that I knew how to subscribe to channels.

Maybe it's gotten better. Like I hinted at above, I rarely sign into Youtube (I hope they're still distributing the money I give them at least somewhat fairly to creators I like). I'm now paying for Youtube, and separately using a combination of Youtube-DL, NewPipe, Invidious, and proxies/adblockers to build an experience that I consider tolerable. So maybe the notifications have gotten better and I haven't noticed because I haven't checked back recently?
GDP doesn't measure everything that matters, but it doesn't matter nothing that matters, either. We don't need to retire GDP; rather, we need to be more aware of its limitations.

My favourite example of this is childcare programs. Parents raising their children isn't counted in GDP; but parents who raise someone else's children is counted in GDP. Governments can artificially inflate GDP by enacting policies which expand the outside-of-home childcare industry; you may end up with the same number of adults providing the same quality of care to the same number of children, but GDP is magically higher.
The chance per change size may be reduced, but you are are going to more changes, so the overall probability is unaffected.
> wifi setup 1000x more complex than windows/osx

Which DE? Ultimately most DEs use NetworkManager but they have different GUI frontends. KDE Plasma's frontend has all options inside one menu. I never found it more difficult than Windows but that being said, I've left Windows behind about 9 years ago after years of dual booting, so my Windows experience might be outdated.

> Lots of extreme battery drain when trying to do certain activities

I guess that's due to no native video decoding. It's getting there, very slowly. It's being worked on as we speak: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1610199
Beyond campaign financing, the US also has gerrymandering, voter suppression and disproportionate voting like the electoral college. And fixing those things will make the nation better serve it's people by making it more democratic.

Comparing these dictatorships to each other is not meaningful, we would need to compare dictatorship to democracy. Tudor England was better off than medieval England: not a very high bar. For one thing religious executions still happened and there are certainly no written troves of commoners praising the new age.

Elizabethan England was certainly inferior to the Italian renaissance republics of the period. And its people worse of than the latter democratic UK. It is less of a leap forward than 5th century Athens or even 19th century UK. The nearest semi-democracy in time and space would be recently independent Holland which had more freedom and growth: it is even where the American Pilgrims initially fled to. Even among dictatorships, Elizabeth I is not that great: equally despotic Spain had more power, technology and culture, Arab and Asian nations had longer life spans, more sanitation and higher literacy.

To compare democracy vs dictatorship you'd need to countries similar in culture and era. Like North and South Korea.
And a curse long after frame modes lost any real world purpose. The workflows ended surviving much longer than the technology that justified them.
I'm a BIG FAN of BATS (https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core) however sadly BATS is no longer being maintained ––good thing it's still working.
Even cheap alcohol is much much better than it used to be. Mulled wine was so popular back in the day because wine was barely drinkable. Cocktails exist for the same reason (and that’s why classic recipes are so sweet). It’s a similar thing with classic “ethnic” dishes—they are so rich and flavorful because they needed to cover the taste of marginal meat.
Well it's their own doing.

Facebook doesn't give European politicians and regulators any arguments that speak for them:

- (Basically) No jobs in Europe

- (Basically) No taxes in Europe

- Easily replaceable (aka no major economic consequences when they disappear)

- Considered as dividing the population and fueling conflict for profit

- In a position to block meaningful local competition

- Facebook flipped them off in the past when they could get away with it

- Facebook delivers the data of EU citizens directly to foreign secret services. Even if you don't care about privacy, this removes a potential bargaining chip for future transatlantic contracts.
Combination of Whitesource, Checkmark, SonarQube, Semmle, and Acunetix Vulnerability scanner. Pretty effective but lots of duplications require reviews.
A general problem with climate change discussions is that the people who are vocal are largely uninformed, and the people who are informed are rather reserved.

Climate change charities, activists etc. do a very important role, and I am very grateful to them for it, but their impact on my personal level of informed-ness is actually negative.
Which would have been a good article, but that's definitely not all the article was saying, since the author was clearly arguing against CO2-emission reduction strategies (see the very opening paragraph).
From a look at the github, there is a sudden "surge" or commits, likely to prepare to present it to hackernews.
But overall this github doesn't seem to be maintained and users issues are sitting there unanswered.

Probably not, but it's fun to think about.

If respect is measured by an integer, going from level 2 to 20 is great. But if you have no respect, then gaining 10 times as much still leaves you at none.

If you are disrespected DON'T WATCH THE VIDEO unless you want to be disrespected more by a factor of 10!
Thanks. Maybe I will try that.
Did you mean init combined with import underscore?
Canada is not a “totally different culture”. Also, your definition of marginally is ... odd.

Download the original data set. US records are around a GB file.
That's huge pros of this industry, that all you need to enter is just cheap computer and willingness to put effort and you can make huge career.

You don't even need to waste time on college because of the information avaliability, especially when you're already this good before even being able to attend.
Eh, to be honest, even simple Windows and Linux installations can go so wrong that I'll never do that without having second computer with internet access.
> The first thing to note when comparing Go to Java is that Go is a compiled language,

As is Java. Sure, compiled into bytecode. Is that so important to you?

> whereas Java requires the presence of a Java Runtime Environment distribution.

There is no JRE anymore, you should use jlink.

Even so, the JRE is more or less equivalent to Go's runtime system.

> The same is true of Java, but since Go produces smaller build artifacts and doesn’t require a separate runtime, it’ll make it easier to distribute components and give you faster startup times.

Have you tried jlink/jpackage? If so, did you see a relevant difference? Then fine, use Go. Most people will be content with what Java has to offer.

> Finally, Go is the language that many developers use for tooling. Implementing Go would allow you to dive into the source code of many of the tools you use on a daily basis, like Kubernetes, a widely-adopted cluster orchestration system, or Docker, the popular containerisation software.

And if you want to dive into Kafka, Solr, ElasticSearch or a myriad of other things (that you just happened to not hand-pick to support your argument), you will need Java.

> Another feature Go and Java share is garbage collection.

And Java has several GC algorithms, in case the default one doesn't fit your workload. And is highly tunable. Why not mention that?

And so on and so on.

Great, you've chosen Go. That's an easily defensible choice, Go is a great language with impeccable heritage.

But your Java bashing isn't convincing.
I would definitely not do the same and its not a fact. Plenty of people value their privacy they are just not as tech savvy and not aware that they are giving it up.
I'm just using the usual quote about these matters, which posits that the quality distribution is such that the overwhelming majority of the items are below average ("long tail distribution").

Meanwhile your claim is very different from mine : you posit a very different distribution, where the overwhelming majority of items is around average ! ("the rest is just mediocre" => assuming there are still a few very bad ones that you don't mention, this would correspond to something like a gaussian distribution.)
As far as I know, that concerns 802.11k/v/r, MU-MIMO and beam forming, which many other 802.11ac devices also don't support, so it doesn't bother me. Then again, I'm not running an enterprise setup and I've never been one to meticulously make sure I get every single feature in the world on a spec sheet.

The hAP AC² serves my home networking needs quite well, with an additional AP to better cover the whole apartment.
The big issue is - can you remain compatible with the arduino libs ? because if not, between the arduino and the mbed ,i'm not sure you could offer much value.

As for multithreading,debugging and events i've already seen an arduino debugger, easy to use rtos and maybe even easy to use event system.

The problem might be mostly marketing ,not development. But i could be wrong.
> So the technlogical improvements in earthquake safety since the 1960s are simply irrelevant for most residents. They're living an ancient, unsafe homes.

Even if we assume zero retrofitting of old homes, what about the future residents of currently-new homes which persist for another 50 years?
I'm not the guy behind it, but I laughed aloud for 5 min straight while reading all the past tweets...

>I suggested that people learn enough logic to use it as a tool to make learning everything else unnecessary.

Which doesn't even make sense. Logic by itself is useless. Could as well talk about some abstract unexisting universe.

It's only when you feed it items ("learning everything else") that you make something out of it.
It's hard to move ahead yourself when you are forced to sit in a chair for 6 hours per day plus 2-3 hours of activities around it (waking up early, breaks, homeworks). I remember it and it was like a torture. I don't intend to have children but if I had them I would never impose public schooling on them. I would home-school like my sister does. I am from Poland btw. For me school was traumatic 12 years which killed my curiosity, will to learn and faith in humanity. I still managed to learn quite a bit on the side but to this day I can shake out the thought of the best years of my life being wasted by the system.

As to jocks and nerds my elementary school was full of bullies and it was basically a prison culture where any kind of deviation from the norm was severely punished. Short? Walks in funny way? Not so good complexion? You were treated as an alien and bullied around while no one cared. If you made stand you were punished for stirring trouble.

I'm fairly sure I've said this before here and elsewhere, but bears repeating, especially for this post.

Statecharts is currently probably the most undervalued tool when it comes to programming GUIs with state. Statecharts are a continuation of state machines, but with less footguns and better abstractions to be able to build larger systems.

In the end, you either build a GUI that are using state machines implicitly, or explicitly. Tends to be less prone to bugs if you do so explicitly.

If you're interested, here is some starting points (copied from an older comment of mine):

Here is the initial paper from David Harel: STATECHARTS: A VISUAL FORMALISM FOR COMPLEX SYSTEMS (1987) - https://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/seoc/2005_2006/res...

Website with lots of info and resources: https://statecharts.github.io/

And finally a very well made JS library by David Khourshid that gives you lots of power leveraging statecharts: https://github.com/davidkpiano

While we're at it, here are some links to previous submissions on HN regarding statecharts with lots of useful and interesting information/experiences:

That was vice, and it involved outed details about the makers family members, her relationship status, and her sexual orientation.
In what school system are you “free to move ahead yourself”? Pretty sure at most schools you’re expected to participate in the current curriculum and take the tests as scheduled.
Go enterprise, use a coffee cup
I read about half of article and facts were presented in naiive manner. From perspective of a person who only recently discovered everything that is going on.

It looks disingenuous, and from that it is definitely propaganda.
Most people with a non-political agenda would agree that the problems with the Swedish school system began when it was handed over to the municipalities from the state, I don’t think there has been a successful migration of responsibilities like this ever in the history of the country. We then had to suffer years of anti-scientific school regulations where student feelings and choice superseded traditional curriculum.

Invalid causality between free markets and segregation, it’s dishonest at its best given all the other variables in society happening at the same time. Not that privatization was successful, with a lax hands off approach, but the agenda of the author is clearly shining through here.
That 57k is the lifetime amount for undergrad, not the per semester amount.
General memory pressure would be my guess.

There isn't an infinite buffer in memory for disk writes either.

Wonder if this is related to the new incentives Kappos pushed through for examiners. I've heard no acceptable explanations yet.
No.

But I have the benefit of experience through osmosis, watching others get into problem investments and learning how to avoid them. It's difficult to describe how to do this properly, it's a complex and subtle art, and you never really know if you did the right thing (assuming the investor isn't throwing chairs at you during negotiations or something). It takes a lot of chutzpah to say no, and a lot of the reasons to say no end up being buried in deep contractual agreements even lawyers have trouble reading.

Treat investment like a loaded gun. It's a tool, but a dangerous one when used foolishly and without control.
Level Next: make it speak. Chose an appropriate text like some philosophical speech by Bender ;)
very interesting idea!
I wrote "unusually inefficient way" in my original comment, but I meant "unusually efficient". Seems like OP understood what I meant, though.
Yes - exactly. And in spite of claims that our elected representatives will ultimately decide whether or not to ratify the agreement, when the agreement is presented it's take-it-or-leave-it - any opportunity to have shaped the agreement will be long gone.

Of course, this is to be expected in diplomacy and trade agreements, right? We give a little, they give a little, and no one gets everything they want. The only problem is that we're not negotiating against China or Japan or Australia - our chief adversaries in these negotiations are Phillip Morris, Monsanto, and other non-nation states that have insinuated themselves into diplomatic discourse and have gamed the system for their advantage. Our own national negotiators are working against us and our interests. It's not a matter of compromise - its a matter of being completely raked over by multinationals under threat of lost jobs and an even further deteriorated standard of living.
I don't know if you're still watching this thread, but as promised here's the article: http://kronopath.net/blog/impossible-to-learn/
With a couple of books I reference often, I've bought the physical version after already having the e-book one. It really makes such a difference.

On the other hand, the convenience of looking for a book online, being able to choose one or a couple, and having it in your e-reader after a few minutes is also something not to discard.
I’m actually surprised this kind of thing doesn’t happen more often… See “Lessons Learned from Accidents in Industrial Radiography” for context: https://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/STIPUB1058-14...
Removal of single family zoning and the enforcement of urban growth boundaries are usually characterized as being complementary techniques, rather than counterproductive.

>if you can reshape the incentive structures then you can discourage the action

Yes, which is why it's important to be politically involved, governments are the ones with power to change incentive structures at the scale of large companies or society-wide. I do agree with your first paragraph, but your second paragraph does not make sense to me, it's not "blaming it on politics", politics is the exact mechanism to enact the changes you refer to in your first paragraph.
You might be confusing the somewhat similar shapes arising from the Fourier transform of step functions etc. or from diffraction from an individual hole or obstacle. Unlike the Fourier transform, which is a purely mathematical operation, diffraction has no "inverse": if you add more diffraction you just add more waves to the projected pattern.

The only ways to defeat diffraction are reducing it with shorter wavelengths and compensating it with multiple exposures with different patterns in which light and dark fringes compensate each other: exactly the two general approaches (EUV and multipatterning) taken by the semiconductor industry.
Even assuming they don't plan to engage in the kind of conduct that the law was intended to stop, they could still be adversely impacted by the law as written. For example, consider a peering dispute which leads to the connection between two networks becoming overloaded. A resolution where one party paid to fix the issue could be interpreted as paying for prioritization.

The compiler for it is quite triggering. https://buraphakit.sourceforge.io/Learn_BASIC.pdf

The Linked List example has an unbelievable number of GOTO 120 and GOSUB 380 type of statements. Even QuickBasic didn't have to do that.
