TL;DR - We've launched a new type of social search with http://trunk.ly, where you can search a group of people (experts if you like) that you follow for the information they share online.

That title is a call back to an article we posted here on HN just before Christmas inviting you to our beta http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2014567 The HN community feedback helped push us to throw open the doors and make Trunk.ly live.

Over the last three months, Trunk.ly has continued to grow steadily, attracting new users and we've been thinking a lot about how people use the site and what we can do to significantly improve it.

So introducing the new http://trunk.ly - with improved social search.

Now the site not only has personal utility for you (by collecting links where ever and however you share them across the internet, then indexing them so you have a "personal google" of content you like), but you can now search the people and their links on Trunk.ly too.

Our observation was that one of the things that people do when they publicly share content, is express an interest or expertise. If you're a Python programmer, you probably share lots of Python links, and more importantly, you only share the links that you think are worthy of some attention. So why not enable a search that lets you tap that knowledge?

We did and it's now live - love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Would you use it? What else would be useful as a search experience and content discovery from people you follow?

Thanks!
Yeah, uh, good luck with that.
> Seemed like there was some circular or backwards reasoning, like that Apple's potential future growth makes its past growth likely to continue, or that Apple's cash increases the stock's value even if you ignore its cash.

Apple's cash position projects power.

This is what fundie investors who subtract cash aren't factoring in. The ability to make strategic buying purchases which constrain supply for competitors is not easily calculated.

Here is their latest (publicly known) deal with Samsung:
http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110213-704284.html

Now think about the "ability to make such deals" with valuations 10x that... Can Dell, HTC or RIM do this? If not, then they are at a disadvantage, as Apple could massively out-bid them on volume with key suppliers.
It looks nicer.
The OP is saying that with a #fragment, the browser wouldn't even need to send the server the doc contents. (Since they aren't used anyway, there's obviously no use in doing so.)
I never claimed to excuse every Apple business practice or App Store decision. My point was to try to show how if you assume the "average Apple customer" point of view, then you (Apple) may reasonably arrive at platform decisions and policies that aren't popular with app developers.

And much more than trying to apologize for Apple's policies, I was trying to explain the philosophy behind those policies because I think it's a useful thing for developers to understand. And to the extent that someone is arguing with Apple directly ('Letter to Steve Jobs'), then they're arguing philosophy and they may as well save their breath.
> But what about when scientists collaborate with the policy-makers to shape public perception about how to inform and educate people?

That isn't a problem with science. It is politics .. as @AnthonyMouse noted.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I was about to swoop in and mention that the top level comment was wrong about XLNet being some bert based model but you beat me to it.

Sometimes HN is full of people who think they know what they're talking about but just don't. This is one of those times.
Nice list :)

A few things to add about some of the items:

- Baidu Wangpan's sharing model is more like the file locker sites of the early 00s: when you share a file or folder, the recipient gets a 'copy'. It's not like Dropbox where you collaborate and sync changes with each other.

- Baidu wangpan can download torrents server-side.

- Toutiao is by Bytedance, which readers here will know for their popular Tiktok product.

- Readers here may know Tengxun by its international name Tencent

- Zhifubao's English name is Alipay.

- Taobao is more than a peer-to-peer marketplace. I'd guess that over 50% of e-commerce goods purchases in China (by volume, not value) are via Taobao/Tmall. There are many 'mom and pop' stores, but also many with 10s of employees.

- Tingting FM is another good one for audio content. e.g. it has Peppa Pig episodes in Mandarin, and each episode has some commentary at the end explaining the key lessons from the story. (You can watch Peppa Pig in Mandarin on YouTube for free, but there's no commentary at the end.)
Doesn't California have a free of charge webapp for doing your taxes?
Good luck building a JRE yourself then, given that is not the way modern Java works.
I still take yellow cabs home from JFK & LGA airports. The process of getting a Lyft or Uber is miserable, while I can virtually get straight into a yellow cab, even when there’s a line at the taxi stand.

Just recently I took a bus at LGA that takes you from the tetminal to the taxi stand due to construction. Even this was easier than getting a Lyft or Uber. I was in the cab way faster (including bus ride) much faster than if I trek to the designated ride hailing pickup areas and negotiate the sea of traffic to find my driver (even in less busy hours).

To boot, the cab trip started further from the airport due to the bus ride, so we were out of airport’s immediate dropoff traffic right away.

Ride was ~$10 cheaper than Lyft as well. The only downside was the annoying TV embedded in the cab. I muted it but could not power off the display.
My anecdotes are biased nonsense while yours are not. This is uncomfortably ad hominem and I don’t know how to respond civilly but let me ask you why you think I would be biased? I live in India. India is home; I don’t enjoy portraying it in a bad light.

Also no cherry picking is needed to make my point. I asked you to search for ‘Dalit’, not ‘Dalit killings’.

I don’t like to get in shouting matches. I won’t be responding further.
Nope. Meeting in person ain’t prostitution. This is how a bunch of Americans meet their partners (in bars, coffee shops etc.).

I read recently, I've forgotten where, that the cumulative time difference for the center of the earth (relative to the surface) is about four minutes.
No, inflation is irrelevant to whether owning Microsoft was a good or bad decision. You want to compare to an alternative investment, such as treasury bills.

Inflation is only relevant if you want to see how the purchasing power of Microsoft owners changed.
They will move as fast as they can to make as much money as they can. By the time something could stop it they will be so deep in the pockets of our representatives that it will be hard to make it happen.
Well, traffic volume is probably vastly different.
i think it captures apple's strategy pretty well, and the flaw in their thinking. They see a commercial promoting kindle books on the kindle tablet and an iPhone and see "it's easy to switch", not "you can own devices from two different brands and they will work together". Amazon doesn't make a phone, nobody is going to switch from an iPhone to a kindle, but the concept of owning two devices that aren't from the same brand is totally foreign to apple. Their entire strategy is focused on every apple user owning nothing but apple devices. an iPhone user buying an other-brand tablet is a threat to apple as a whole, not just to their tablet business. Their strategy is to control everything and not allow anything to happen out-of-ecosystem. Playing nice with others doesn't even occur to them.
I started a new project last week and I chose my STM32 by sorting by stock High -> Low. A year ago it wasn't even a consideration (I make low volume stuff).

I sent a big complicated board to manufacturing a month ago. I was making changes up to the last minute based on availability. One of the parts went out of stock and I provided an alternate part number. A week ago my assembler contacted me and said that went out of stock as well. I'm a bit pissed off that they didn't order it when they confirmed the change and there was plenty of stock, but I'll cut them some slack because they're in Houston. Now there's no stock of the part anywhere in the world except a single Aliexpress store. I can't overstate how strange it is to see such widespread availability problems. Pretty soon I'll have to design things with nothing but discrete transistors.

>I know that Comma isn’t as successful as Waymo and probably may not be.

Are you sure about that? Comma is in use by thousands of real people all around the world, who have driven millions of miles with it and derived an incredible amount of value. Waymo is a walled garden tech demo available to a few engineers and a select number of alpha testers within a few square miles of Phoenix, with no timeline at all to mass adoption.
Did anyone even know this option existed?

Seems like they should have just quietly buried the option even deeper.
The National Radio HRO-500 used an HFO to generate 500 kHz steps, and a separate fairly linear VFO for the last 500 kHz of tuning. The use of a manually tuned pre-selector stage helped greatly with image rejection.

It had a variable frequency first IF, which then tracked the VFO tuning, and the second IF was at 230 kHz.

It came out about 1962, and I helped a friend repair a few of them in the last few weeks. All the transistors were in sockets (Germanium transistors, which do seem to age and get "weak")
Yes, as it happens.

All publicly funded research is most certainly not free, that’s a big part of the problem.
This reminds me of the concept of "Pareto distributions"...

>In the early 1900s, an Italian engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist, and philosopher (but he was probably no fun at parties, so you got him there) named Vilfredo Pareto became fascinated by the ideas of wealth and power – namely, how is wealth distributed across society? (Interestingly, he did not start this work until his forties, so it is never to late to make a difference.)

>Ever diligent, he pulled data from the 1400s through his modern times and found the same pattern everywhere. Whereas people had previously assumed that wealth would be distributed in a flat, upward-sloping line from poor to rich, what Pareto found was in fact a hockey stick – a small percentage of the population holds a majority of the wealth.[1]

So basically, a small number of all the "individuals" account for a large portion of the overall pool... the same would be true for fans... there is a universe of potential fans out there... millions of them. You need to find the ones at the edge of the chart that are willing to pay - those are true fans.

Other examples:

>The majority of scientific papers are published by a very small group of scientists. A tiny proportion of musicians produces almost all the recorded commercial music. Just a handful of authors sell all the books. A million and a half separately titled books (!) sell each year in the US. However, only five hundred of these sell more than a hundred thousand copies. Similarly, just four classical composers (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky) wrote almost all the music played by modern orchestras.

So I think the takeaway is, focus on making those people that truly care happy. Don't try to make the 90%+ that are not going to pay you much happy. Make the smaller percentage that are going to be with you for years with large money happy... it is easy to chase short term profits or short term incentives... invest in the long term for those rare ones that find value in what you are doing AND are willing to pay for it.

JavaScript disabled on Yahoo home page:

http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/10/how-many-...

"After crunching the numbers, we found a consistent rate of JavaScript-disabled requests hovering around 1% of the actual visitor traffic, with the highest rate being roughly 2 percent in the United States...

The second takeaway is that JavaScript-disabled users exist. While 2% of U.S. visitors may not seem like a lot, keep in mind that over 300 million users visit the Yahoo! homepage each month. That means 6 million users visit each month without the benefit of JavaScript...While the percentage of visitors with JavaScript disabled seems like a low number, keep in mind that small percentages of big numbers are also big numbers.

What about neither? Have you accounted for that option?

Possession of CP is not an accessory-after-the-fact. CP is also not a physical good. This argument is similar to the argument comparing piracy to stealing a car.
Definitely, but in the end it came down to guns and labor camps. Propaganda and other "softer" ways of forcing people to comply are added so you don't have to execute/exile quite as many people, but if you only have propaganda and no guns & gulags, you're not getting anywhere -- who'd relocate just because you say so if they know you can't make them and there is no "or else"?

You can build upon guns with multiple layers so that, eventually, a word is enough to control people, but they have to trust that the word is, in the end, backed by a gun. That is, if you don't comply when you hear that word, you'll get into even more trouble with the letter that follows, and if you ignore that as well, they will physically show up and take you away. If you're not cooperative in the talk that follows, you'll get to see the window-less rooms, and if you don't break there, you go to the camp. If you break that chain, the word means nothing.
Is there a web app? I'd rather use another tab than install another app.
It sounds like their implementation prevents some wide-spread tracking, but that it doesn't prevent any targetted tracking. I know of at least one person that has suffered from targetting tracking of this variety, so I will say that this is still a bad setup for anybody that cares about privacy.

The only good solution is to automatically fetch all remote content for all incoming email as soon as it is received, regardless of whether or not the message is read.
Yes, but only after they spent decades on building out their construction industry with lots of imported equipment from elsewhere. Mars will not be able to construct big roads and buildings until they bootstrap a concrete industry and they can't do that without a steel industry, and they can't do that without mining sites, which need vehicles and mining equipment, etc etc etc. All these things will need either large amounts of people (and thus food) or large amounts of automation (and thus microchips etc) and Mars will not be able to bootstrap either without billions and billions of investment from Earth.
Really? Is the purpose of a combine harvester to kill people? Of course not. Yet people have died in combine harvester accidents.

Is the purpose of the electric car to make CO2? Of course not. Yet for a long time (not sure whether this has changed yet) more CO2 was wasted in their production and transport than they could ever hope to save in over 10 years of operation.

Is your purpose to make blaisé, ill-thought-out over-generalisations on the internet? Of course not. I imagine you lead a full and fulfilling life offline, spoiling orphaned kittens rotten and brokering peace treaties in your spare time.

Just because a person (or, if you prefer, a system) produces an unintended side effect - whether by accident, ignorance or bad publicity - it does not make that their purpose, or even reflective of the kindness in their core being.

And sometimes, these things can be fixed with education. Sometimes these things can be fixed with holistic reporting and good PR. Sometimes, other people need to learn to do their own research to understand and accept the context in which things are said.

But alas, the internet will never learn these things. Because the purpose of a system is what it does - and what the internet does really well is spread hate and division.
Yet somehow the Wikipedia project has managed to stay afloat during all these years...

There's a video of a western guy living in China learning to desolder Flash memory chips from an iPhone and then solder higher capacity chips in their place from back in 2018.

This was my understanding as well, at least for the majority of memory related tasks.

Edit: actually, it would help if I read the actual quote in your post. I think they’re right in saying that those things are checked at runtime in Rust, though I could be mistaken.
They didn't risk being "cast out," they were not "left" there.
When startups are exploring new spaces, there are always challenged with basic fundamentals. There's just too many uncertainties and unknown unknowns to nail down even remotely concrete projections. So VCs resort to other metrics (partnerships, engagement, team makeup, and most importantly growth) as heuristics for future value.

If you look at Tesla, Facebook, Google, etc. none of them had great fundamentals at startup. Facebook and Tesla didn't even have great fundamentals when they went public.

I actually believe this is probably the case. Watching MKBHD's ride on YT indicated they replaced the glass prior to riding the press around, so they probably had this planned in advanced to some extent.

I don't think anyone should have realistic expectations of the outer layer of glass not shattering. That is why there are multiple layers. If you threw a big metal ball really hard at the president's limo, it would likely crack the outer layer as well in similar ways. What fundamentally controls the strength of armored glass is how many layers you have.
This is a little narrower - but I'd be interested in suggestions for open source software useful for local online communities. People in my area use Facebook. Except that many (like me) just won't sign up for a FB account, and even those that do around here mostly loathe it.

I'd like to set something up but as this has just occurred to me I'm vague on specifics as yet. At a minimum I'd like easy-to-use community forums. Discourse is obviously a possibility.
Restarting periodically works for me as well.
Do we know for sure that people are immune after getting it once? A lot of the downplaying rests on that assumption but I haven't seen anything that says we know that's the case.

"most of this advice is too general to be good"

I guess what bothers me the most about "advice" like this is what makes the person stating the advice qualified to give the advice? This is not to say it's right or wrong but with all due respect to all those on HN that are still in college (such as Ben the OP) why do you feel that you are uniquely qualified to offer this? Noting that you posted it to HN and not a third party that somehow tripped on it ...

OP do you care to give your thoughts?

My dad was definitely entrepreneurial, but he wasn't a technology guy at all. The businesses he ran when I was a kid included: running a pulpwood truck, cutting down trees and hauling logs to the mills; building docks and bulkheads for people with houses on the water; building a selling crab traps; running a dump truck, hauling fill dirt and doing ground grading / leveling / etc; running a small-time shrimping operation, and uh, probably a couple more I'm forgetting. He never made it "big time" doing any of the above, although he would sometimes go years at a time making it OK doing one of those things, but he always wound up going back to a "day job." Then, after hurting his back on the job and being forced to more or less retire, he started a business doing cement pouring / finishing, and that's the one where he kinda "made it." He is very well established now doing that and makes pretty good living at it.

So yeah, watching my dad as a kid definitely taught me something about persistence and the value of hard-work; and certainly contributed to my desire to do my own thing.
