jkeisling/hacker-news-corpus-2007-2022 huggingface dataset:
The device location is not logged in this database at all.

What it does is log the locations of all cell towers that it can communicate with at a point in time. So for a given timestamp, there will be dozens of points logged. So while the data will be able to say "You were somewhere in downtown Pittsburgh at 1:59PM on Monday", it won't be able to say "You were at 517 Liberty Ave at 1:59 on Monday." Also, timestamps for existing towers are updated whenever they are mapped an additional time. So if I was downtown again on Thursday, no one would be able to tell from my data that I had been there on Monday.

See my previous comment in another thread for more detail:

It's not the technology nor the porn. It's the stress and work hours. Japanese work very long hours, and very hard jobs. High stress and very little free time create exhausted people who do not have time to do anything but attempt to recover for the next day. Tired people do not have energy nor motivation, get sick more, and don't have time to socialize or to date.

Japan needs labor reform, shorter working days, more vacation time.
Very interesting calculations. I think patio11 also wrote about Dropbox's numbers a little while ago, but I don't remember where.

One big omission from the article - Dropbox probably gets discounts from Amazon. Obviously we can't know how much, but I assume they're paying even less on storage than is calculated there.
" this is the price we pay for abandoning free speech."

This is completely upside down.

This is not the 'erosion of free speech' - it's actually the 'explosion' of it.

Free from any kind of filters of credibility, people can now promote whatever fictions they want to promote.

When fictions are emboldened by those in positions of legitimate authority, aka The President, the truth falls by the side.

The ratio of 'noise to truth' has blown up, and it's mostly a result of our ability to communicate in a more direct manner.

The voices of mostly uninformed individuals, free to express themselves on the soap box, are now much louder. That's not a slight: we're all busy and have different roles in life. We can't be experts in everything, ergo, most of us are not legitimate sources of truth on that much. We allocate those responsibilities to people within whom we entrust a certain degree of trust. Like the free press as one example, Science as another.

Far from 'restrictions' on speech, the internet itself, Facebook, Twitter - whatever their policies provide for 100x more communication than existed before.

We used to get information from news, politicians, bureaucrats, teachers - and some gossip from the neighbours. Now the 'gossip, youtube and TikTok information' factor is 10x greater - and that's mostly a function of free expression.

Random people on Facebook will 'like' and 'propagate' whatever 'science' they want to believe is true - which is obviously not going to result in rigorously verified information, rather the opposite.

'Good or Bad?' - that's a more complicated issue - but what we are seeing now is 'much more expression' not 'limited expression'.

I challenge anyone here to demonstrate, over the last 25 years, how there could possibly be fewer channels and sources of public information and expression.

Edit: I should add that obviously there are issues with freedom of expression, on campus, and the in the commons with certain forms of shaming for certain opinions, but that's an entirely different issue from 'public information' and 'how people are misinformed' about things like election results. The public commons is several orders of magnitude bigger than it ever was. It's not even comparable to 25 years ago, this is a completely different era we live in.
IMO telegram has the best feature and usability parity as Whatsapp..

As for converting people who are not that interested, I can tell you from experience talking about privacy generally doesn't sell it.
They let them in; there are videos of them opening the cordons around the building.

Some cops were either in on it, or at least sympathetic. They need to be dragged before Congress next month to answer for their behavior, assuming the republic survives.

This was the very question I have. Presumably given this ultimatum they would pull out of the EU market? That’s great that solves the problem of getting my friends and family onto something else!
When is "mastery" a meaningful concept for a field of endeavor? I think we wouldn't believe it makes sense to "master" physics or math, because the advanced work in those fields focuses on open problems. Even if one understands classical physics well, one cannot make specific predictions about medium-sized, low-ish energy systems like a double pendulum. Can anyone claim to be a "master" of an area in which there are such large known gaps in everyone's knowledge?

Though in software engineering we have a lot of prior examples of successful and unsuccessful projects, we also have lots of open frontiers. And in some ways, it's much harder to "know" that an engineering approach or paradigm is "right" than it is to know that a theorem is true.

How can we make types track the "important" invariances of a system? How can we convince ourselves that a distributed system can guarantee certain properties, or that a modification to that system doesn't break those guarantees? If I build a homomorphic encryption system as a service, how would I build debugging tools for it? Acknowledging the halting problem and its cousins, when can static analysis tools make useful, meaningful predictions about programs?

In the bronze age, you could build an impressive stone tower. Sometimes you could even make it stay standing. But I don't think there were any master civil engineers.
Out of interest, what do you use instead?
I noticed that the route runs past my place but it's one of those opaque squares presumably because they're not sure how to get over the Bozeman Pass without riding on I-90.
This sounds great! Can I ask you an obvious question, which is why should we trust you and your code / created service? I'm constructively positive on an answer to this.
This is the first time I have seen a production vehicle's design to be less realistic (in terms of usability, component reuse, artistic freedom, etc) than it's artistic renders.

Here's a few artist imagined renders, and to be honest, they would be a lot less likely to get an April 1st calendar check reaction:

Whether it looks hideous or not would still depend on personal preferences though. I like the fact that it looks, well like a concept car, but it isn't.
Learn Berkeley sicp (CS 61A) ,it will teach you to write an interpreter, more importantly, through it you will learn the most powerful idea of software engineering :abstraction.
Start by protecting existing forests. We're still losing rainforests ever more rapidly.
As an educator the whole power of expectation thing probably was more interesting to me than things like the echolocation aspect. I mean yes, we know that students perform better when you expect more of them, but some of the aspects of how that translates into actual performance gains hadn't occurred to me before.
Have you ever considered that some of us have become libertarian precisely because we're concerned with increasing inequality?

Let's not forget that government:

* Are the other end of "spending on lobbying"

* Are the buyers of "expensive military goods"

* Create the concept of corporations, and gives tax breaks to them ("corporate welfare")

* Give sweetheart deals to political favorites

* Lock up citizens for non-violent offenses, denying them the chance to earn a living

* Allow and promote regulatory capture, which forbids many smart, driven individuals from challenging current business leaders.

The sooner we can get government out of business, the fairer and more equal things will be for everyone.
Rich people owned most of Russia once... Quite "honestly" according to the laws of those times. What could possibly go wrong?
I think it's interesting how almost everyone assumes the naked guys on chatroulette are straight.
And they do.
I doubt that the point is to use it for in a personal context. Some will because they want to be able to customize exactly what's happening, but I suppose the main appeal would be for businesses.
At the time, no one (not even Einstein) thought the precession of Mercury had anything to do with the lack of experimental detection of the Ether. Einstein figured out special relativity, solving the Ether problem, almost a decade before doing general relativity and thereby solving the precession or Mercury.
I love the irony in these lines:

"The answer, Burton believes, lies in the fact that the average self-improvement treatise encourages the belief that personal happiness is the product of sculpted abs, nicer clothes, or more personal wealth. Those are dangerous distractions, he argues, from the true source of human happiness, our relationships with others."
Noostr is missing a few key features right now - plugins, pagination (yep), customizable URLs, categories, etc., so it's hard to do a direct comparison between them all.

However, as Noostr is updated, things like Digg-style voting and front-page functionality will be implemented via plugin, pagination is coming in the next version, plugin hooks will be made available to authors, themeing becomes even easier (you get full control over HTML and CSS), configurable URL rewriting, etc.

The lambda is pointless; we could create the FFI closure directly from cmp-str with [qsort-cb cmp-str]. It shows more clearly that we can use any closure.
I didn't mean to imply he stopped working on it entirely, but he definitely put off publishing as long as he could because he was (reasonably) worried about what would happen afterwards.
I too like the feature, but the language, "How much time do you have?", confused me until I actually had saved a few videos. Something along the lines of "Show me videos longer than.." would better reveal the feature's purpose.
Alteryx is a 7B dollar company. Their Alteryx Designer product looks like this & does the some of the same things.
It is an incomplete summary of the paper, however it seems to be a pretty solid summary of what the plot is telling us.
> yes I know this is unconstitutional, that's the point

How so? The National Guard is a federal troop organization that can be called upon by a state Governor in a state of emergency. Doing so is hardly a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
Sorry, one last note. I was a broke college student at the time. I made tens of thousands of dollars with Pipes doing ethical arbitrage. I still miss it, where's our Kickstarter?
Any citations? There are lots of people using EC2 at appropriate instances sizes to do compute intensive loads. Provisioned IOPS and, again, appropriate instance types are necessary to get high performance disk I/O.
The article addresses that in detail, but basically, this is people posting photos and videos of themselves there. In some cases, the photos were geotagged. As the article says:

> With all of that said, however, the DC Metropolitan Police and the FBI will probably need to look no further than a cursory Google search to identify many of the leaders of Wednesday's insurrection, as many of them took to social media both before and after the event to brag about it in detail. In short: you don't need fancy facial recognition tools to identify people who livestream their crimes.
NYT and NPR are both extremely biased now. I say that as a 20 year long NPR listener. This is no secret, especially at NYT, where the newsroom is no longer firewalled from opinion. They chase even moderate left folks out for not being woke enough. The 1619 project fiasco, Bari Weiss, etc. They have fallen far since Trump got elected.
If it's any similar to the hardware decoders on iPhones, they're probably limited to n streams. That might be good for playing some background music or ambient sounds, but it gets tricky really quickly when you have multiple sounds playing at once.
3.5" drives came about as the home computing & internet movement was just starting to take off. Computers adopted the newer more compact technology just as there was an explosion in demand for computers. Their popularity then meant that legacy support needed to continue longer as well.
I love that demo that automatically types and renders the result, have you made a library for that? It looks like a small custom script.
The PS2 had a hardware MPEG decoder and could also play DVDs so I don't think it had much trouble doing FMV.
Nopes. The big boys are more like obese octogenarians on a wheelchair. By the time they actually arrive on the station, the train would have reached other side of the globe.

The greatest weakness of these large companies is the rent seekers called dealerships. Like he drug dealers these absolutely bottom scrappers are the biggest hurdle for innovation in this space. So I will not raise my hopes.

Yeah, given what sort of stories one reads about science at most internet sites you'd think we'd actually have a way to turn electricity + H2O + CO2 into oil (and sugar, and bread, and proteins, and plastics, and so on and so forth). But we don't.

We do not have anything remotely resembling a reasonable option to do this. There's Fisher-Tropsch, but it's horrifically inefficient.

So we're dependent on plants to do the work for us.

In reality we don't know at all how to efficiently make molecules that have more than 4-5 atoms in them. Oil has hundreds to thousands, depending on the oil. Sugar only has a few dozen (depending on the sugar, starting at 20, going up to several hundred).

Kinda pathetic really.
Is this not a reasonable suggestion? Any organisation which is unable to ensure its financial survival will by definition go extinct and so be unable to achieve anything else.
Regarding reviews on oreilly.com, I can assure you that isn't true. While all product review systems are open to manipulation (Amazon has been dealing with this from the beginning.) we're careful to verify reviewers. All reviews, good or bad, are welcome, and you'll find plenty that are painful for us and our authors, such as this one: http://oreilly.com/catalog/0636920010067/
> Being able to say "this is good" or "this is bad" is a start, but the really useful thing is to be able to go deeper and say "this is good overall; XYZ are good aspects of it; ABC could have been done better". 'Cause then you can tweak ABC and make it even better, or go to a comparable project and fix its XYZ.

This is a very good point, and I've seen it as my own musical tastes have developed. I have several friends who are in bands, and while they appreciate praise and fan adoration, they seem to be doubly appreciate when I say something like, "Your solos are a little too clean; turn up the distortion a bit," or "The lead is being drowned out by the harmonies."

By offering very direct constructive criticism, you are signaling to the artist that you appreciate their work enough to listen that closely in order to help them make it even better. On several occasions I've taken to conspicuously listening to a single band member, and without fail that person played better simply as a result of being scrutinized.

Being that critic and scrutinizing yourself in that same way is probably the surest way to improve your own art. That is why taste must come before good art. And that is why the best artists never seem satisfied. If they ever had been satisfied along the way, they never would have made it as far as they did.
Excellent initiative Markus, CaptainZapp and Giu. the Quantter team (c1sc0 and I) will try to be there :) (we'll confirm by email) Cheers!
For me, i7 2650QM, 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, 17.3" monitor, fingerprint reader, 9 cell battery.

$550. People who buy Macs can't even conceive that you can buy 4 PC notebooks for the price they are buying 1 Mac notebook. They can't conceive that the typical person doesn't buy overpriced Ultrabooks that are different only in marketing name.

All they will say is that their computer "holds its resale value" or that it will "last longer". When it is literally 4x more expensive for equivalent speed, these things are meaningless.
No - it doesn't run js.
The intended definition of opportunistic is not knowing about the vulnerability, but otherwise capable of exploiting it.

Integromat [0] somewhat approximates Pipes. Haven't heard as much about it as IFTTT and Zapier. I found it because they've got one of the few remaining active API integrations with RunKeeper, which since closed the door to new application registrations.

This fails horribly if called recursively (or from a signal handler). You need something like:

wrapped_qsort(/* array,callback */)
{
auto tmp = CBQ;
CBQ = wrap(callback);
qsort(array.ptr,array.len,cbq_callback);
CBQ = tmp; /* pop old value from stack */
}
Frankly I dont respect investors as much as engineers and scientists who invent clever technology. The latter add things to the world. The former just push money around. Yawn.
Wal-Mart and McDonald's have plausible competitors. A better example would be cable.
AES CTR isn't a one-time pad. It's as strong as AES, not theoretically unbreakable.
It's a funny coincidence since I was just reading up on the Odroid device.

I like the esplay hardware better- built in audio, and I prefer the horizontal style. It looks like a case design is still a work in progress though. What an impressive thing from one maker!

XOR encryption is unbreakable with an one-time pad that matches the message length (that's basically AES CTR). It's one of the most secure cryptography primitives we have.

The problem is deciding to use home-grown encryption.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. You are absolutely correct that my tone was off putting and I was not clear in the argument I was making. I have updated my post accordingly.
I think you're right. In my personal experience I've found that in most small teams, there are few who want to lead. If you have mature members, this becomes less of a problem. However, I still find diffusion of responsibility a common theme in small teams, appointing a leader to absolve them from any personal responsibility.

Combining a "more dominant someone" with atomic responsibility is probably the best way to go with small teams.
> The US of 1945 is not the US of today. Our ethics and standards have risen significantly in the past 65 years.

This is true, but what is also true is that most of the world outside the US and EU views the West (which is something like 12% of the worlds population) as an extremely bloodthirsty and cruel culture/society (regarding external behaviour) that is the greatest threat the humanity faces today.

You want to believe that the US is ethical and good because you probably live there and like your country and people, which I can understand very well.
I think the article and much of the discussion misses a larger point -- time is hard, and very very hard when there are multiple systems with different clocks. The APIs are the way they are because there just aren't solutions especially since all systems ultimately have unreliable connections to good time sources.

The miserable APIs are New Jersey/Worse-is-better answers to intractable problems.

I got adaptive cruise control in an Audi A3 last year and was amazed to find out it was first introduced in the mid 90s!

That being said it feels very futuristic having a radar in your car and makes driving on the motorway a lot more pleasant. However I now seem to spend the brain cycles I was using on judging speed imagining up bugs that could cause me to accelerate into the car in front :/
Allow me to politely disagree with some of the statements.
While I realize it's largely a matter of which glasses you've put on, I just can't easily agree with statements which sound like an excerpt from Bill Gates' annual letter.

healthier - I definitely disagree. I can provide a lot of statistics about why I think it is so, but unfortunately I can't provide statistics about what I see happening around me. And sometimes it's scary.

better educated - Disagree. I think there are huge problems with the education system and it's only baby steps that are taken to improve something.

better fed - With what?

So... I agree with "kolev" that these 1% could eventually put their money to better use. Maybe some of them are doing it.
I don't think these words mean what you think they mean. Like "science" and "mathematics".
Thanks! I haven't built in a router yet, but I'll publish the one in the Tutorial as a separate package as soon as I feel it covers enough use-cases.

On hyperscript: I prefer to keep the tag name separated from selectors, to me stuff like element type and classes/id's belong in different places and with css scoping built in I think you won't need as many classes so hopefully it won't be a big issue. In general I want the vDOM/HTML stuff to be a pretty direct abstraction on the HTML/DOM in the browser.

On JSX: There is a generic `h` function builtin that can be used as a target for JSX. I'll put together an example of it in the coming days. I still want the recommended way to use the framework to be without build steps, parsing or dependencies though.
Maybe we're going to develop a specialised court system for AI where humans can sue for AI-related injustice. I don't trust companies to self regulate effectively.
There's an approval process to be added to the PSL so abuses would be quite surprising and easy to remove when discovered.
breaking the phone habit is imho one of the best things anybody can do these days. Phones often are an all-in-one coping mechanism for other issues: boredom, stress, loneliness, etc. One of the best things I ever did was get off all social media, force myself not to even pick up my phone except to respond to a call or text, and just confront the boredom. After a few minutes of no phone you find yourself actually doing things and focusing again. After a few days you wonder how you could ever have wasted so much time infinitely scrolling through videos or articles that you can't even remember the next day, let alone 4+ years later. In contrast, I've been able to make so many memories gaming, playing music, watching movies with an actual sense of immersion, art, reading, exercising, and so much more. The childlike sense of wonder and excitement that I had as a child all came back as soon as I learned to focus and be in the moment again
> For sure they wouldn't.

Companies outsource and offshore all the time when it is cheaper to do so.

The US is a magnet for business. Trump lowered corporate tax rates and business boomed.

The biggest companies in the world are all US. Why imperil that?

> coupled with a threat of blocking their business in the US

That's not practical, too many ways around it.
