And you’re right, that’s exactly what happened. My wife wrote up a set of concise notes with citations and asked if the social worker could forward it to the doctors. We met with the doctors a few days later and they thanked my wife over and over again for the document, and the conversation totally changed from one that felt adversarial to one that felt much more collaborative and productive.

As the doctors cycled out though it sort of reverted to the mean, back to the authoritarian stance you expect from doctors, since NICU doctors were constantly rotating out.
And meanwhile another 600 million has just been printed by them today. And a few hours later bitcoin price went up. Amazing daily coincidences.
If I look at this list then I don't really see any evidence of the allegations in your comment, and find your list of alleged examples to be highly cherry-picked and misleading.

Fox News' listing explicitly excludes politics and science; it's listed as "Fox News (news excluding politics and science)". And Fox News talk shows are red. This sounds about right. Many other entries are considerably more nuanced; Reason, for example, is listed as "generally reliable for news and facts. Editors consider Reason to be a biased or opinionated source that primarily publishes commentary, analysis, and opinion articles. Statements of opinion should be attributed and evaluated for due weight." Again, this sounds about right for Wikipedia's purpose.

Quite a few of the "non-American" examples you list are explicit propaganda outlets of authoritarian governments. I don't see the problem with being careful with those. I don't know about the Times of India specifically, but a number of other Indian publications are listed as green, such as The Hindu and The Indian Express. There is also the South China Morning Post with the comment that "additional considerations may apply for the newspaper's coverage of certain topics, including the Chinese Communist Party and the SCMP's current owner, Alibaba."

This is for the English-language Wikipedia, so it's no surprise that English publications (i.e. the UK and US) dominate the list. And besides, there are many American and British entries that are listed as red or yellow: The Daily Mirror, Gawker, AlterNet, Breitbart News, BuzzFeed, Cato Institute, CEPR, Cracked.com, The Daily Caller, HuffPost, New York Post, OANN, The Sun, and more.
How would you interpret the phrase "...In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways?"

ABUSE. Here's how it works in a /real/ startup (I know, because I just went through this):

At hire, I ask founder "what do you think your exit looks like?" He puts it in terms of equity meaning for employees, "I am aiming for at least enough for each employee to purchase a nice home in this area."

A month after hire, at the first scheduled board meeting, I am granted options worth 0.5% of equity in the company, vesting over 4 years (I'm around the 12th employee). I am paid a salary commensurate with the rest of the industry in the area, as well as given full health coverage.

After about 2 years, the company is sold, making my 0.5% worth almost exactly what he said it would be worth, enough to purchase a nice home with cash outright.

Your founder is exploiting you. Don't dawdle dealing with this until you are no longer essential. You should lay it out for him, exactly as-is: you get your equity grant and a pay raise immediately, or you are walking.

Keep in mind, your founder might be trying to exploit you another way, too: he may not be planning an exit at all, or for a very long time. Meaning, equity is worthless (as long as he retains ownership). If he's making a lifestyle business out of this, equity is a big 0. Don't let him grant you equity but keep your wages at stupid levels.
The way that I taught myself as a nipper was games programming. Even the smallest graphics demo can be very satisfying as you can tweak them till your hearts content; endless variations and incremental improvements.

I had to do it by hand in C and Asm (mode 13h ftw!) I'd imagine it's much easier now to start with OpenGL, XNA, Unreal Engine and higher level languages.

Also I never had screencasts. Or the internets.

It's funny that your choices are only svn and git though...

Eclipse implements a framework so any VCS system can be integrated...

Apple (hackily) implements two VCS and... that's all the choices you get. I can see logic behind decisions like this in consumer devices, but it's a lot harder to defend them in developer tools...

At least git is better than SVN...
Zed Shaw's Lamson project (http://lamsonproject.com) has some solid code for handling most of the messiest parts of dealing with email - bounces, unicode, etc.

It's structured in a way that makes it very easy to snip out the parts you want to use without necessarily using all the rest.
Hello everybody, I am the one who posted this article and it is because I have been trying to find an answer for so many troubling things for such a long time (wait to see my post on why I shared this)...among them is that this might be the reason to the 50% divorce rate in the United States.
But before we go into that, I have a question for all of you: Can someone you have been limerent about, being nonrequited, dissapointed...basically having gone through the whole pain process...still be trusted and cared about? This is actually the main reason why I sought for an answer for so long.
It seems to me that the "risk" is overblown.

The biggest "issue" that I've read about is scaling the screen for different resolutions, this could be solved by an update with an intelligent scaling algorithm.

It seems to me what Google is trying to do is improve the native applets so that OEMs are less likely to want to create their own.

Also, nothing says that Google is banning these vendor additions, just discourage them.

Remember Android is an open platform.

So back at University a friend of mine had NetHack (3.0) and a lot of us played in it. I had a game where I simultaneously had the incredible luck to have my dog get polymorphed into a Xorn and then the bad luck to leave a bones file.

Quite a lot of people got wiped out by a pet Xorn.

This post was unbelievably painful to write.

You are missing the point. yes he set off the explosion detector for which he should have been questioned and he was. The issue is how they did it. No water for hours ? You seriously think that it is ok ? The rest 5% decorations that you were talking about is lot more than just decorations.
Here in California, sales tax on a car is based upon the address you register it at, not on who you buy it from.

Sales tax isn't the motivator here, it's entrenched businesses (auto dealers) paying lobbyists and legislators to protect their valuable turf. Do they add value? I don't think so, why not let consumers choose?
This is perfect--I'm definitely going to set this up.

My first night training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was a similar experience. In BJJ you spar at 100%, because it's relatively safe to do so. You tap your opponent's body or the mat to signify submission. Tapping basically means 'you could have killed me'. Rolling with someone who is only one belt higher than me feels like drowning, and the first time your opponent takes your back and is choking you is the time when a lot of people panic. Learning to control my breath and the feeling of panic in order to fight to get to a better position has made a lot of other problems in my life seem small and insignificant.
did you get "complying with local laws in all countries in which we operate" from Cloudflare ?
For hashing passwords, not for encrypting all communication.
The thing is, you can't determine "entropy" of a password after the creation. It's the creating process that determines how "random" your password is. KeePass's measure is just an approximation, and I have no idea about how accurate it is.

The advantage of an app store app over a web app seems rather thin to me.

The marketing required to get an app high enough in an app store for a user to notice seems no different from the marketing required to get a web app noticed.

However, with a web app only customers get to decide whether or not they use it. There is no corporate intermediary that would, for whatever reason, decide to not let customers choose your app.

And, as this story illustrates, the risk of being abruptly booted out of an app store without knowing why is real.
Plus, they are stupid. What, are we short of space for email? Are links people send each other consuming too much disk? I've barely touched my howevermany squigabytes GMail is giving away these days. I can guarantee that there is no "URL shortening service" that has the longevity of DNS either. If you want any more proof of a bubble, it's that it's possible to operate a business doing this.
While it's a great pun, it's not exactly short, though is it?

LEGO pricing in general has been inflated recently. Flippers and 3rd-party Amazon sellers know this, so they buy up all the stock to resell via Amazon FBA. It's a LEGO bubble right now with a lot of artificial demand. Some of these flippers will coordinate massive regional buyouts of a given LEGO set from retail stores by using people from Fiverr, etc. and then hoard the bulk lots or sell to collectors.

Stores are even being robbed of LEGO merchandise:

I'm currently working on an article exploring Nomad and how it compares in some aspects with Kubernetes, which i'll post on HN soon-ish.
Sadly this isn't new. In my opinion it's allowed for two reasons: No uproar and because it is a US company. If it were a Chinese or Russian owned company for example the company and their apps would have been completely blocked, sanctioned and fined.

I doubt we will see an uproar or shitstorm about this unless some celebrity is caught doing it. I also doubt a US company will be punished in any meaningful form for allowing this.

I'd say ban use of the apps in your house and let them use Tiktok instead (it does lock down profiles for children as default). I've given up warning against this.

It's not an if (for certain industries), it's been happening and is only accelerating. It's exactly what was behind the outsourcing to India of IT for instance.

The difference now is artificial constraints within countries around locale are loosening, meaning locals can play the same game (and take advantage of similar bid/ask spreads personally). IT work in India happened because while super hard to get started/get over the bar, the wage differential was huge (between what a viable candidate would accept, and what the company was willing to pay). Multinationals who could get over the bar to take advantage of it have reaped trillions.

For jobs that are fundamentally local, it is different (plumber for instance). The number of those jobs is decreasing over time, however.

This will likely result in a 'reverse brain drain' as long as conditions persist, with rural areas benefitting from smart and ambitious people no longer being forced to relocate to a city to benefit. They'll pump money into the local economy.

For people already remote, they'll have more competition and will need to continue to differentiate.

For those in cities, well - it's gonna be rough.

Long term, it's likely that center of gravity will shift back to the cities - physical distance does have beneficial effects, and at least when there isn't a pandemic, it tends to override the other issues with city life (competition for space means high rents, noise, etc.). It might take awhile though.
Actually it makes a lot of sense. There are a lot things I don’t want to be associated with. I’m also left of center and I’m not actually worried about having a Parler account, but there are a ton of websites that scare me way more.
I don't remember where, but once I read an article saying something like "If Space-X can have price calculator right on their side, so can your shitty SaaS solution."
I rate limited your account, which is standard practice when an account has been posting too many low-quality comments too quickly. It hasn't crippled your ability to reply; it just means you need to wait a bit. We're happy to take rate limits off when people give us reason to believe that they've taken the intended spirit of the site to heart and will post fewer and more substantive comments in the future. That would be the opposite direction from things like "I will continue to call out" and so on—we're trying to avoid internet callout culture, denunciatory rhetoric, and things like that, because they're so tedious.

Intention not to start flamewars is good but not sufficient. You also have to actually not start them (or perpetuate them). https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
You can do exactly the same back-of-the-envelope calculation for ICE engines as you did for the Tesla, you just need to know the average fuel consumption per mile and the energy density of gasoline. No need to worry about areodynamics.

> What do you mean? XSS? SQL injection? What are you afraid would get hacked?

Perhaps hacked isn’t the right way to describe it. The issue is that if you setup a re-build if your static site on receipt of a mention, that means anyone on the internet can rebuild your site whenever just by creating a mention. That has the potential to take your site down because for example you might run out of build monthly minutes. There are probably other ways such a setup could be used to cause issues.

The way I have been thinking of cloud edge workers is just another place you can run some compute when you get a request. I think I can see why you might be hesitant, so you might have a valid point, I haven’t spent a huge amount of time analysing the threat vectors that are inherent with edge workers.

In your opinion, why are edge workers more dangerous than the usual hosting provider that ‘interferes’ with the request by rendering and returning the page?

If by "talking to each other" you mean "increasingly consuming only whatever media the machine learning has been trained to foist onto them", yes.

Assuming the presentation is reasonable, I am actually not convinced that mental habits that would have us agree quicker with Copernicus would actually make us right more often in general.

How about 'highest common factor'?
Why not? You can hire a human to make something for you and you can own the copyright to that work. You certainly are financing the creation of a work made by an AI.

And an AI isn't a person, legal or otherwise.
1) If you're reading bad code, that could be a problem. But 99% of Ruby code I read has been written by people who know when they need parentheses/brackets to make the code readable (e.g. when it's not the only code on the line.) But there are tons of times when it's wonderful to be able to leave out the parentheses.

-

2) It might be because I spend a lot of time with Ruby, but I much prefer `end`s to curly brackets, they're just easier on the eyes, especially when they're going to take up the entire line anyway:

a
b
c
d
end
end
end
end

a {
b {
c {
d {
}
}
}
}

Of course, at times I wish Ruby used indentation to declare structure, like Python.

-

3) I don't think I've ever had that problem. If I'm calling `person.full_name`, I don't care if that's a variable, or a method joining first_name and last_name. And if I it was a method, ideally I'd have a corresponding `full_name=(str)` method defined too, so `person.full_name = "Joe Bloggs"` would work, and split the string into the first, last, and optional middle names.

-

4) Why? Why not? What makes this easier to read?

Ruby is a lot like the English language; when you're learning it as a second language, you're constantly confused and frustrated by it's weird syntax, but once you get past those initial hurdles, it just clicks. I love Ruby because I never feel like I'm programming in it, it almost feels like pseudo code that's not going to actually execute.

Essentially you could get any non-programmer to solve a problem on paper, and turn it into Ruby code which, without too much fuss, describes their process.

# get the customers text file
# each customer is on their own line, w/ their name and age separated by a comma
# group the customers by age
# show me the top 3 most common ages

file = File.open('customers.txt')

customers = []
file.each_line do |line|
name, age = line.split(",")
customers << {:name => name, :age => age.to_i}
end

grouped_ages = customers \
.group_by{ |c| c[:age] } \
.map{ |c| [c[0], c[1].size] } \
.sort_by(&:last) \
.reverse

grouped_ages.first(3).each do |age, size|
puts "#{age} years old: #{size} customers"
end

Four blocks of reasonably clean code (except the 3rd, that could be cleaned up a bit), which implement the four lines of plain english instructions.

Even amongst cars that are very similar, image is a huge factor IMHO.

Even if someone is cross-shopping between several generic midsized family sedans (a genre that is arguably the epitome of "cars-as-a-generic-transportation-appliance"), other than significant price differences, people will probably choose the model that looks best to them.

As far as I can tell a business is allowed to have a surcharge for carseats and dogs. However it seems reasonable that those should be waived for people who need either because of a disability (at least that seems like a 'reasonable accommodation').

Of course without anything in place there is effectively no accommodation whatsoever which seems to be one of the things that lead to this penalty (with probably more to come if more people are treated badly because of a disability).
