Firstly, I didn't think HN would allow ▶ in the title, so congrats on the "new Rickroll" effort. Hope it doesn't get banned tomorrow :). (Google in fact strips the fun characters from SERP titles.)

[Edit - and it's already gone in the time it took to write this]

I've been using this pattern on http://player.fm for some time now. I agree it's best to just "use the force" of the DOM and base the title symbol on the actual media element's state. Some additional points to consider:

* Another option is to also show a paused or stop state. I did that for a while using a black square character (■), but it looks ugly when people bookmark the page. The same thing happens when bookmarking pages with the play symbol, but that's rarer and at least people have a way to turn it off (ie pause the track).

* Instead of using the title, you could also use a favicon. Although I've been promoting dynamic favicons since I discovered the technique [1], I actually think title is better for this purpose. Why? It lets you retain the actual favicon, it's more portable, it's become more standard. Favicon can be good for more dynamic properties like Scott Schiller's graphic equalizer favicon demo (which I can't find now).

* It works fine with Flash if you use a Flash-compatible JS library like SoundManager or jPlayer.

* It should absolutely be a standard browser feature, but the reason it wasn't is because of the Flash runtime. It presented a black box to browsers so they couldn't actually determine if playback was happening. It's been documented in these bug [2] [3]. It's become less critical as HTML5 media has become more dominant, and I think Chrome and Adobe teams have managed the detection more feasible with Flash.

I don't think it was necessary to be in NYC at the time to have been deeply affected by 9/11, but no matter: I, the guy who wrote this article, and 310m other non-NYC Americans still have to live under the draconian post-9/11 regime, regardless of where we were on that day.

Also, "casual observer"? Really?
Is there a reason I'm being downvoted? There are almost no parallels (beyond the most literal) between a concentration camp and an internment camp.
> Ah, I used chrome's default ctrl-shift-[ and ctrl-shift-]

Note that [ and ] are hard to type with modifiers on most non-English keyboards. It's very unadvisable to use a default binding of [+anything for anything, because if you have any international traction, a third of your users will have to rebind it.
There was also an option of sitting down with paper and pencil and actually solving the problem, reinventing the wheel for the thousandth time. Or you could reach out to specific people you knew were likely to know something about the problem and socialize a bit by the way.

Both approaches had some good sides to them and it's a shame that they're not even considered as options now, which GP seems to demonstrate.
That lawyer sounds like a douchebag.
I super agree with your point too: I'm also slowly moving all my emails to my personal domain and it feels liberating.
Now China can simply buy Ethos Capital and run it. It's way cheaper than the UN.
Already owned by PIR (which runs .ORG and is being sold to Ethos Capital). Sorry, it's a group domain fucking. You're welcome - Ethos Capital, probably.
I don't use the service, and for the reasons I mentioned in my comment. But saying they do not sell your data because some non legally binding webpage says so is not true and that is the point of my comment.
> Similar to a kid that doesn't want to share their legos with the rest of the class.

You're being disingenuous and needlessly insulting.

We wanted to bring the freedom and egalitarianism of the early internet to everyone. Instead we got the jaded, corporate internet, but at least it's available to everyone. The GP is obviously mourning the quality, not the exclusivity.
No two independent implementations -> not standard-worthy :(

I would love to see an SQL interface in the browser. I suppose it's going to be a library on top of indexed DB, and / or a WASM implementation. Then it would have a chance to become a standard.
PIR is already a rent-seeking organization designed to fund Internet Society. They don't actually handle the registry at all. It's outsourced, they put it out to bid. If you look at financials, they are paying <$2/domain.

Yes, ICANN granted a monopoly to ISOC in the form of PIR, who have been allowed to increase prices consistently for years but at a capped rate. And they wanted more. As costs have gone down.

Then everyone at ICANN talks about not being a price regulator and free markets. Ignoring the fact it's a monopoly, and not one ISOC/PIR played any role in creating, it was a gift from ICANN. A perpetual, no bid, contract with ever increasing prices on a decreasing cost monopoly good.
Can you be certain FANG jobs have more stress? Some rules inarguably would, but I hear of more people doing the standard 9-5 at FANGs than anything else. They do quality work, they do it in a reasonable amount of time, and they spend the rest of their non-working hours on other things in life.

Unless they changed it and I wasn't paying attention, it's 15Mbit/s uplink in the Salt Lake City area. The only reason I'm paying for 50Mbit/s down is so I can get 15 up.
For many outlets (blogs, news websites, whatever) this policy simply wouldn't be tenable. As Michael points out at the top of his piece - he is conflicted.

However, this is TechCrunch and TechCrunch is, well, TechCrunch. It's hardly objective at the best of times.

What I would like to see, however, is confirmation of the investment/advisory/shareholder policies for other TechCrunchers.
People often give reasons such as "Movies are too hard to acquire" to justify pirating movies.

Most of these things are basically just aliases, partial applications and/or compositions. It shows off how powerful Haskell is and it is impressive but that's pretty much it.

I'd much rather see how you tweet something from Haskell, parse a configuration file with a simple syntax or something else along those lines.
Nice try Skynet.
Thank you for being the first person who downvoted me (assuming) and writing why you disagree. I come from idea that this person wanted to join Hacker News; didn't understand the community; didn't find the rules and regulations right away; and has been scared away from the community by crazy downvotes.

How many downvotes does it take to kill a comment? This person is forever lost to Hacker News...

Very few (if any) things in life on a non-quantum scale are actually random. Roulette results, dice throws, shuffled cards, etc, are all the results of complex and hard-to-predict processes, but they are no more random than the markets.

What people mean when they say that something is random on a non-quantum scale is this: the process is so complicated and hard to predict that our best models of the process incorporate a significant amount of randomness.

This is the case for markets too, where a multifractal random walk is about the best model we have.
In any event the debate is which letters were or were not written by Paul. There is no reason to suspect he wrote none of them, or at least none were transcribed them to secretary. The debate is which was written by him and which were not.

Your father may have claimed it was very obvious, but nobody else thinks so.

Still devil advocating. Imagine you have a well developed silver mine, which produces a metric ton of silver every week. And you have an idea that there can be a gold vein somewhere on your land plot. But to find and develop it you should spend a lot of resources, including your well trained miner workforce. Rational decision would be to maybe do some research on a "last served" basis and continue to expand your silver mine, which is your primary source of income, until it depleted (if it will deplete at all, you don't know it for sure).
The $300 TV that you found probably has poor audio, viewing angle, contrast ratio, support, etc. From the limited research I did before buying my TV, a 55" TV with good reviews for panel and sound quality that you can rely on for 5-10 years costs C$1,200 today.
There was a YouTube video explaining how to buy bitcoin and I got curious. I bought 50 because I originally wanted to but 5 and I accidentally added 0. I intended to spend 10 dollars but I accidentally spent 100 dollars. I tried everything to get my money back but it was too late. Fast forward to 2015 I remembered bought some bitcoin in highschool and I have my key stored in a flash drive. That flashdrive was like external hard drive for me at that time.
I wouldn't put it that strongly.
It's flat on chromium 28
It has a USB-C port, so could buy a separate adapter. Best Buy's Insignia brand usually has them for < $20.
I don't get this obsession with the movement or whatever that gets behind these articles.

6% of the worlds population of (Aus, NZ, Canada, UK, US) owns over 50% of its wealth. The argument is always about why a fraction of that 6% that takes money from whats remaining of that 6%.

The actual problem is not really anywhere near the fractions of that 6% that grabs headlines. I would also look at anyone who is in that 6% complain about wealth inequality with a confused look on my face. It is such a divisive topic that can get anyone riled up and it completely misses reality.
Would people be happier if, instead of advising her not to waste her money on the service, they had presented her some objective data about outcomes in regards to people like her?

I mean, is it mean if it’s true? They basically just interpreted some internal data on her behalf.
I'm mainly annoyed at the glass-half-empty, an-imperfect-solution-is-worse-than-no-solution attitude on display by many commenters in this thread. I don't accept the assumption of "lasting and irreparable pollution" from this product. I'll bet a significant sum that the alternative fate for most of her waste plastic feedstock will have been low-temperature incineration (resulting in local air pollution by particulates, dioxins, etc.)

We sometimes need to implement solutions to problems that are practical for the time and location. They may not be perfect, but no one else has managed to parachute in an ideal solution for the issue of plastic waste. The perfect is the enemy of the good. This lady is actually doing something, which commands an awful lot more respect from me than random internet bro comments.
> Not according to you, as you view taxes as inherently illegitimate. Though if you have a Patreon or GoFundMe to validate your claim then by all means.

I’m responding to taxes the way you responded to my request for some of your surplus. You’re asserting you already paid taxes, you don’t get to decide how much tax you pay.

> If you don't wear clothes, you'd be arrested for public indecency.

I concede that laws requiring clothing are akin to taxation in that one group of people imposes their values on another group without their consent.

> Then say you don't believe in society.

I’m fine with society, I disagree with you that taxation is necessary for society.

> Then why not give away property, as well? There are arguments to be made that private property violates the NAP.

Property is a consequence of animalian territorial instincts and human tool-using instincts. If someone can articulate a coherent vision of a property-less society, others are welcome to join them.

Mostly the problem is that the people who challenge notions of property rights seem to be motivated by the prospect of obtaining the property of others who would prefer to retain it. In essence, they don’t have a problem with property, but with certain people’s ownership of certain things because they would rather that other people own those same things.

> Despite its unanswerable nature, it is still quite enjoyable.

Glad you’re enjoying it and likewise.
> You only buy what you need

If you only spend when it's absolutely necessary because you want to keep as much currency as possible, that's the definition of hoarding.

What would you define as hoarding? Spending so little that you starve to death?

Keep in mind that spending includes things like investing in businesses. If currency itself provides the highest return because it's a race to hoard more than anyone else, investing in businesses becomes less attractive.

Currency should facilitate the economy, not be the economy.

What I like about F# vs Scala is the ML-style syntax and the relative simplicity. I have found Scala staggeringly complex every time I have tried to learn it, it seems like the C++ of functional programming languages. This impression may be misguided.
How can you ignore the increase in income?

I'm not claiming I know what is actually happening in the US, it's complicated and I haven't spent enough time looking at it to be confident.

However, it's true that if there is a) an increase in total income that b) is entirely captured by a small percentage of people, then naturally their share of the total income tax paid will increase and everyone else's will decrease as a fraction unless the system is regressive in some way.

"Progressive" here doesn't mean higher earners pay more in aggregate, it means (by definition) that their marginal rates are higher that people with lower income.
"Being too rational - over thinking, ruminating"

Why is overthinking and ruminating an extension of rationality?

Overthinking is a departure from rationality rather than an example of rationality, and ruminating is a psychological problem stemming from anxiety.
IMO those two gotchas (mutable default and late-binding closures) are actually the main ones. That's why they're mentioned explicitly here https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/gotchas/

Shallow/deep copies is an unavoidable part of having mutable data. The main alternative way to handle mutation is a fancy type system like Rust's, which is not an acceptable tradeoff for new programmers.
Looks like it's built with SwiftUI too, nice!
DALL-E (DALL·E ?) is a machine learning model which, given a caption and either a top portion (not "the top half" but rather some amount of top segment) or nothing, will generate an image which continues what it was given, in a way that is supposed to match the caption.
From the results they published from it, it looks quite convincing. You can do things like specify the art style, or various novel combinations of things, and it will often produce a good looking image of that thing.

One of the examples that was shown was making a chair that looks like an avocado. It produced a number of such images.

It seems rather impressive imo.

A VAE is a "variational auto-encoder". aiui, a VAE is a neural net which has an encoder part, and a decoder part, where the encoder part has input which is the full thing (in this context, the picture, (or maybe small square in a picture?)), and this is also the space that the output of the decoder has.
The space for the output of the encoder is much smaller than the other side.

Err, let me rephrase that.

There's a high dimensional space, like the space of possible pictures, but you want to reduce it to a low dimensional space corresponding to the sort of pictures in your dataset,
so you have the neural net take in a picture, map it into some low dimensional space (this is the encoder), and then map it back to the original high dimensional space, trying to make it so that the output it gets out after doing that is as close as it can get to the input that went into the encoder.
Once you've gotten that working well, you can just grab random locations in the low dimensional space, and it will look like a picture of the same type that came from your dataset?

uh, I'm simplifying as a result of not knowing all the details myself.
It is a popular quote that during a bull market, everyone is a genius.

Nice writeup! 2 knit-picky points:

- I would amend point 3 to also include helper methods/modules. I like to keep my render functions pretty small so I'll usually call helper methods or have an external module if the calculations are pretty hairy.

- cx is soon to be deprecated and now you can use the module "classnames".
They way I think about it is like this:

SPA looks more like a mobile app. As you click the links the page doesn't refresh, content just gets replaced dynamically.

Traditional web page honors web standards a bit more and looks like the traditional structure of pages linked with hyperlinks. Want to read about the product? Click a link. Want to refresh the current price? Click refresh button.
I feel like I've read this before, but I must not have known who Paul Phillips was the first time around. Interesting to be reading about the poker player and not the compiler author
For that type of analysis, I believe you'd need a platform that ties all these data sources together.

We just use Excel and Tableau to get it all into 1 view. Don't really have the budget for other tools.
And those 3 sites render with javascript off(I guess thanks to "isomorphism")... which means they don't need to be single page apps at first place.

My point is that there are more positive ways to make two than by destroying one. If Google is just interested in getting publicity for the cr-48 they might as well join Cheerios on Days of Our Lives.
Scala (implicits, structural typing) and Clojure (protocols, extend-type) both have great solutions to these problems. Anyone know of other langs that deal with these issues properly?
Actually, he did ask for the first 3 chars, but also claimed that any 3 would do. Your idea still seems very reasonable to me, if I just assume he was speculating about the inner workings.
Yeah, you can find mentions of this sort of thing as a standard motivating application for information-extraction/sentiment-analysis/etc. NLP systems dating back to the 1980s. The 80s academic papers I've read do mostly propose it as a semi-automated thing: extract a bunch of information and present it to a human trader, i.e. function as a decision-support system. Not sure when it was first plugged into a closed loop that directly traded on the analysis without human intervention (it's possible it's not publicly known who first did that, since hedge funds tend not to announce such things).
My take-away:

1. Fractional reserve banking always leads to mal-investments which must either be liquidated or papered over with money (inflation). If the malinvestments are large, inflating the currency can cause the currency to collapse in hyperinflation.

2. Liquidation (bankruptcies and transfer of wealth from debtors to creditors) is unpopular so politicians tend to avoid it. Politicians will naturally pursue an inflationary policy to avoid the wrath of the voters.

3. Bankers who profit enormously from fractional banking want to avoid currency collapse at all costs.

4. The bankers who control the federal reserve will seek to slowly liquidate to avoid becoming politically unpopular. Their biggest danger is that Congress will seize control of the Fed and force it to overinflate and thus destroy the currency and the Fed with it.
In a version or so, everything will be optional. I like options. That'll likely come before the inline reply, as that's a bit complicated.

I think there's a big difference between applying for a patent for protection vs. applying for a patent to wield it as a sword. If your company could get a patent that it could use as a defense against a big company that held other similarly-ridiculous patents, but with the deep pockets to sue you, you'd be foolish not to at least consider it. Not liking the rules of a game is not reason enough to ignore them if it means your opponent will leverage those same rules to knock you out of the game altogether.
The difference is that there are 250 million documented user engagements with confirmed Russian propaganda pages. Those are the numbers provided directly from Facebook: 76 million on Facebook and 187 million on Instagram. That's a lot of likes, comments and shares.

> GPLv3 adds the requirement that code for derived works not only be released, but that someone should be able to build their own modifications on that platform for free, won't work with the way the the iOS developer agreement works ($99 a year.)

I don't see anything in GPLv3 about people having to be able to build derived works for no cost.

What GPLv3 adds is a requirement that your provide "Installation Information" to allow you to install and run the code once you build it. Installation information is things like keys to sign the code if the platform it is for only runs signed code.

The installation information requirement only applies when the object code was conveyed "as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized)". A "User Product" is "either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling".

GPLv3 object code that is not conveyed as part of a change of possession of a User Product is not subject to the installation information requirement. This requirement was added to GPLv3 specifically to stop what TiVo was doing--shipping GPL code on their boxes that could not be replaced by the user--and it was narrowly drafted to only cover that situation.
> Most have no protection, not even fences or warning signs, and the locations of some of these facilities are no longer known due to poor record keeping. In one instance, the radioactive compartments were opened by a thief. There are approximately 1,000 such RTGs in Russia, all of which have long since exceeded their designed operational lives of ten years. Most of these RTGs likely no longer function, and may need to be dismantled. Some of their metal casings have been stripped by metal hunters, despite the risk of radioactive contamination.

Yikes.
