Here is an idea: DON'T mine Twitter data.

Seriously, what is it with all those "startups" based on mining Twitter data, Twitter add-ons etc?

OK, we know why you do it. Because Twitter API is easy, Twitter relationships are easy. That's why you shouldn't do it. Nobody cares, and if its that easy, it will never be a real business anyway.
I use a different password for every website. It is easy to remember, I just have a portion of my password that changes for every website. For example:

dg76fb23S for Facebook, dg76fb23S for hacker news

Been working great for years :)
Someone please build this.
Can Godzilla really be considered an invader, given they frequently simply stomp-and-leave, or defend against others - who would stomp-and-leave (or occasionally set up shop) - by stomping-and-leaving? When I think invaders, I think intent-to-occupy; Godzilla seems to have no interest in occupying any Tokyo estates. Where there's no intent to occupy, I consider them to be just destroyers.

Hmm. Would obliterating something (and leaving) count as an invasion? To take it to ridiculous proportions: say we blew up another planet. Did we invade it?
What can I say? I use keepassx. I keep the db on dropbox -- so that it's always available to me -- and protect it with a key file and a password.

Good luck getting into all my accounts. First you need to crack my dropbox account. Then you need to guess which file out there on the interwebs I use to protect it. Finally, you can try to crack the password I use. I'll even give you a clue: the password is less than 40 characters.

So yes, use a password manager. It's trivially simple and stress free.
If that doesn't happen (seems fairly unlikely), could maybe find a non-copyright idea that would interest him as much and work towards making an actual game?
Found a job in Canada in 2003 and still here. Canada, AFAIK, has an easier immigration process than US, and regulations are less stringent for work permits.
That's where I get caught up. At the moment it's very hard for me to imagine all the makers of web apps agreeing upon such things. But at the same time, I can't imagine a future where apps can't swap data with the ease they could on the desktop.

Yeah, that's sort of the conclusion I keep coming to. If I understand correctly, I'm assuming that when you say that bottom up triggers inflation, you're referring to price inflation / core CPI / any of the other 20 measures of inflation in physical consumable goods required for survival. Whereas top down (as we have been doing because fed and treasury can't seem to work together) tends to keep price levels for core CPI constant, but does lead to monetary expansion, or the multiplier between higher M's like M3 M4 and total assets over base money to grow, putting most of the price inflation into financial assets instead (My house is up 30% compared to bread this year from pre-pandemic prices, my 401(k) is up 80% investing in "low risk equities" compared to the same).

What are other alternatives? More of the same and hope technological multipliers for productivity continue to outpace CPI inflation so that there aren't bread lines? Charity? I suppose you can keep doing monetary stimulus without fiscal, and then increase taxes, and spend it on infrastructure that improves everyones lives?
90% of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the US border. Most of Canada is very cold and uninhabited. So a straight up population density comparison doesn't make much sense. The meaningful measure is something like population density in inhabited areas, and that is pretty close to Euro/US density.
That's a delightful anecdote to kick off a computational challenge.
I would say it's faster generally but not definitively.
In the document its already mentioned that both methods are planned to be implemented.

Just because the boundaries are fuzzy doesn't necessarily invalidate the concept of a 'dark age'.

If you don't like the term, we could call it "the age where total population, urbanization levels, manuscript production, trade volume, lead pollution, [placeholder for other convenient or inconvenient metric] in Europe[1] stayed far below peak Roman levels" - but that's kind of a mouthful...

[1] 'western' Europe in particular, but some of the effects are visible at continental scale, or even globally
I was expecting autopilot to be seriously dangerous, but the data doesn’t back that up. Out of 234 deaths from accidents involving Tesla’s 12 people have died while Tesla autopilot was known to be in use or had recently been in use. http://www.tesladeaths.com Autopilot might be slightly worse than human drivers depending on how you slice the data but that’s about it.

I don’t think it’s a regulation problem as much as it is an acceptance by regulators that driving is inherently dangerous and autopilot isn’t dramatically worse. It’s not even obvious if on net more people would have died if Tesla had never released autopilot.
Took a bit of digging, finally found it in my history: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1402929 .
Interesting link at the end to alternate nostril breathing. I find focusing on the breathing - rising and falling of stomach - to be great as well.
It's from a magazine. You know...those things that existed before blogs, where the author did real research, actually interviewed people, checked facts, ensured accuracy, etc.

I'd much rather read 6 pages of well-written, fact checked magazine than some shitty blog entry that someone spent 5 minutes on just to drive up traffic numbers.
"For the connections. That was my original point."

Is it really that difficult to find these connections on your own? sites like meetup.com have local groups where you can just go and meet up with other like-minded people. In some groups (especially college towns), many are students. I have gone to many different groups and made lots of connections in my area. I graduated and got my bachelor's degree in '06, but there are many people I meet that have not. Most of the time, the subject doesn't even come up.

"They should speak to a guidance counsellor, then. No one invests in a business not "knowing what they want"; why should investing in an education be any different?"

I really don't see how this is any different than a university. You would still need some sort of central authority that you would be giving all of your money to (and they would be managing classes and everything else).
Killer name.

The claim that open source doesn't have copyrights tends to cast her other claims into doubt. But in principle it would be great if there were no copyrights or patents in software. It would mean fewer things to worry about, and a whole category of grief would disappear.

Fashion is not exactly analogous to software though, because in fashion there are physical atoms which are difficult to copy and move around.
Study finds that 34% of humans are sick of stressful and exhausting daily commute to work.
Is this actually a problem? From the Github page it seems like the rate of invalid inclusion requests is very low, less than one per day:

While it's absolutely true that if the credentials haven't been pushed then you are not compromised, I would still encourage people to rotate their credentials regardless.

All it takes is a mistake when deleting the sensitive information, or having pushed without realizing it to be compromised. Even if you're absolutely positive there wasn't a breach, it can be a good excuse to drill for a _real_ breach later.

It never hurts to walk through the practice of what to do if credentials leak when there's no pressure.
I'm in the same boat. I struggled through college because I had to in order to keep my parents' health insurance (!), but my heart wasn't in it. Eventually I learned to do the minimum and coast through, but I had other things going on in my life that were so much more interesting and I just couldn't muster the motivation to "study".

Enter the real world, and guess what? Critical thinking skills and a tenacity to solve real problems are in tremendously short supply. You've got high-GPA graduates galore who can't tie their own bloody shoes. Motivation is everything.

There is no middle ground, though.
> In a sneaky study, Brochet dyed a white wine red and gave it to 54 oenology (wine science) students. The supposedly expert panel overwhelmingly described the beverage like they would a red wine. They were completely fooled.

I don't understand. Why would anyone think of a student as an expert? I'm not saying that oenologists aren't full of it. I'm saying that this study doesn't prove what this article claims it does. Why doesn't the author report on a study with established experts instead?
Right, but it's this specific project that requires the latest Rust compiler, not Rust libraries in general.
It's an hour and fourteen minutes. What do you suppose you'll be doing with the extra six hours?
It's a better time to first plot than matlab, which is one of the other major contenders. On my computer it is about 3 seconds, which is noticable, but far from disqualifing.
If one user interaction triggers a "on user interaction" signal, which causes "value changed" signals to fire, is it possible that a widget which depends on multiple of these to get redrawn multiple times?

I'm optimistic about Qt 6's QProperty (I don't know how it compares to FRP or, as someone else mentioned, MobX), but Qt 6 currently does not have KDE libraries, or Linux themes to fit into desktop environments or distros.
It was, but they got rid of the pension and the gold watch so it really isn't like that anymore.
The author was on an episode of econ talk that discusses the arguments in her book:

https://www.econtalk.org/shoshana-zuboff-on-surveillance-cap...

Not as thorough as the entire book but maybe listening to the interview would help persuade you?
>but the industry being built around it is very real even if niche. There's a lot going on (including research)

What are some concrete examples?

I think most of us who are critical are still interested, because we do see things that are going on, and we ask ourselves, are we missing something?

But we seem to run into the same road blocks again and again.

“Solutions” seem to come from people subtly or transparently “talking their book,” that is, they have an undisclosed vested interest in you not thinking too much about those roadblocks.

What is some fruitful research being done in the areas of well known roadblocks?
What are some application areas with a genuine pathway to viability and no better non-blockchain alternative?
> I don't disagree about its current feasibility, but I think that's mainly so because of a distortion of incentives and that so many are invested in this model (the few) despite how horrible it is (to the detriment of the many) as so many people are incapable of doing anything else at this point.

The problem is, at this point it's like arguing for communism. It's an utopia. It could happen but I wouldn't bet money I'd lose sleep over on it.

It's probably more likely that an asteroid will hit the planet and we'll all go extinct before you're able to change the minds of most of humanity.

Heck, communists even managed to get a hold of a global superpower which actually tried to take over the world and they still lost! Good luck with Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies :-)
sounds like GitHub Pages would be a good match for you then

Raku also has the Inline::Python module, that allows you to use just about any Python (3) module "natively" in your Raku program. The interface is not as polished yet as it is with the Inline::Perl5 module, but there is a GSoC proposal to improve on that! https://github.com/perl-foundation-outreach/gsoc-2021-ideas/...

Again, I think no beliefs should be persecuted. What I call a religion is based on casual observation and deserves no additional protection, but it's broadly someone's metaphysical beliefs.

All i said was banning an app based on intolerance of a belief is more objectionable than going after an app out of geopolitical rivalry.

Every classification describes harmful delusions, and the symptoms are about ways it negatively impacts your life.
Sure... but authorial intent is also sometimes completely irrelevant. Ask the creator of Pepe the Frog.
> Fauci admitted he lied for the greater good.

Again, this is repeated a lot -- but it does not match my memory, nor can I find evidence of it in my searches.

If you know differently, please share a link.

> He could have suggested cloth masks.

IIRC, the consensus pre-COVID and post-SARS, was that cloth masks are inferior to N95 masks. When the supply of N95 masks was not considered unreliable, there was no need for public health to think about bandanas.

In Feb/Mar, before asymptomatic transmission was proven, it was reasonable to not bother suggesting cloth masks, and simultaneously to preserve the "useful" (N95) masks for the most at-risk.

> US is so dead.

There were so many failures. The system that Fauci was relying upon turned out to not have been funded. Maybe he should have known that, but I'm not sure he had visibility into the problem.

I see Fauci as the firefighter who arrives at the scene, hooks up the hoses, and discovers that the hydrants are dry and the city hadn't bothered to tell anyone.

I'm sure it's more complicated than that. He has definitely made some mistakes, but the system which is supposed to back him up has completely failed him and all the rest of us.
While GC can be a factor to work around its also a religious issue (e.g. when C++ devs transition to C# they often fight it as a subjectively perceived foe) which always make it suspicious to put to the top especially in contrast to 2009. What's the difference there? You've still got a server that you're thrashing in both cases. Did something significant change in the GC implementations between 2009 and today that makes it _less_ suitable to use as a backend server?
Because by the time you find out whether a particular company's vetting was good enough, it's far too late. It's a lemon market, and regulation is the standard, economist-approved solution to those.
> Cities like New York, Seattle, Chicago and San Francisco have raised local minimum wages

> Laws in New York, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey will eventually increase minimum wages to $15 per hour.

I don't find this reasoning very convincing. The places that have raised minimum wages are some of the most expensive places in the country already. It may well be that the market wage floor is already pretty close to the raised minimum wage. The minimum wage here in Maryland is $10.10, and you can't get teenagers to work at that rate here.

But what about Des Moines? That's the basic problem with a federal minimum wage. The average rent in Des Moines is about a third of what it is in New York City. What would be the impact of a $15 minimum wage there?

Why should the "living wage" in expensive coastal cities dictate the minimum wage everywhere?
How does that work? I guess the sphere just expands?
I'm not intentionally trying to be rude here, but if you are able to go on dates, Tinder is working just fine. It is a dating app after all.

If you are unable to take it a step further than the dating, it's not Tinders fault.

My wife is a dating coach, and it always amazes her (and me) how unwilling men are to learn and improve themselves. It is not working for them, yet they don't accept advice that could drastically improve their chances. Women are way different in this.

And yes, my wife and I met on Tinder ;).
An increase in spending is an increase in spending, it is still a part of the total compensation an employee has received. My point was purely that lensing the issue through minimum wage by itself seems like a distraction in terms of understanding employee wealth, I'm not arguing that employees should stop wanting more because they're getting enough.
They do, and they are linked as "Video (ETHZ)".
Hi, I'm Ben Howell, founder of Psychstudio. A while ago, I built a one-off custom web experiment for linguistic research because I couldn't find any suitable web application that allowed me to build, host and execute such an experiment. To my surprise I found that it was almost impossible to build any novel online experiment on any existing platform without programming.

I trialed a few web-based experiment platforms that claim programming isn't required, but as soon as I moved past simple demonstration experiments, I was forced to code (and yes, I consider markdown and writing lines of code in spreadsheets as programming).

So I interviewed experimental psychologists, and collected papers and experiment designs from colleagues, friends, advisers and other professionals. Having confirmed the need for a programming-free way to build and execute online experiments, I built Psychstudio to address the problem.

Tech-wise, the backend is Clojure and Postgresql, and the client-side is ClojureScript (reagent, re-frame, sente).

I've learnt a lot in my journey of bringing Psychstudio into the world, and the absolute rule of "no programming" for the end user has led to some surprising and powerful features (too many for this comment) that I otherwise would never have designed or built.

All feedback, advice and criticism is greatly appreciated.
Most DEs are either already ported to Wayland (Cinnamon, Enlightment), have a porting in progress or plan to port it eventually.

For WMs, it is more uncommon since they're so coupled with X11 specifics that this makes porting harder. However I don't really think it is a problem, if you want to continue using your WM it is fine, it is not that X11 is going away either way.
How embarrassing. But thanks, I learned something.
Setting aside the business model issues for a moment: I'm really intrigued by the idea of penis-recognition software. Now, that's a branch of AI I never even considered before, and already my mind is racing through the algorithmic approaches...
As frustrating as this is for the author, we only have one side of the story, this is not hacker news, it's simple bitching. Perhaps it has a place on reddit, but not here. And the headline is deceptive.
I love Google as much as the next guy, but how could a legitimate business that handles money not have a phone number to call to speak to a human to resolve this? It's absolutely ridiculous that they can threaten your livelihood and not have a human to talk to.

As bad as Paypal is, at least they offer live phone support. With the products I sell, Google Checkout and Paypal aren't options, so even with all the red tape you must go through to get a merchants account, I'd still rather do that than use Google Checkout/Paypal.
I'm from Michgan as well, and have a lot of family in the greater Detroit area. The sense of despair that most people in the area feel is just awful. After the auto plants started to close up, people just started packing up in hopes of finding work elsewhere. Some moved in-state, but most make the flight south and west (warmer weather, more jobs). I was recently in Dearborn for a wedding, and the number of empty & foreclosed houses is just staggering.
This is all part of anti-money laundering provisions introduced in the past few years. As the carrier they are obligated and liable.
Yeah, I would disagree with this as well - they're supposed to provide more reassurance, but all the studies of user awareness of this - and security UI in general - generally conclude that almost nobody has a clue what these mean or even noticed their existence:

Here's an article that talks about how ballots are scanned: http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/valet2010/article12525494....

They let their teens, with no education or real introduction, jump into all sorts of problems. Then they threaten complete shunning from the community, totally cutting them off from everyone they know.

How is it surprising people end up coming back under those conditions? If your first and only introduction to the Internet was just 4chan/b/, you might conclude the whole place is just for cp, gore, and other nonsense.

The Amish approach is harmful, unfair, essentiality wicked, to force children into such things. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of a principled alternative.
Exactly. Should open source patent this.
Sorry but how can you doubt anything when you have no idea of the details of this person's disease? I think it is a bit off colour for you to impose your ideas on their actual experience. There are definitely cancer types which used to be fatal but can now be cured with therapy in the majority of patients, such as advanced germ cell tumours. Google it.
What kind of improvements would people like to see? I haven't really thought about it much, but I feel google finds what I need.
