The point isn't the commenter /(doesn't know how to|couldn't)/ find the site; it's the fact that the web was built to link relevant pages together, and this page (and many) fail to do that, despite it being an article about a particular website/page.

What if the site was actually louisck-the-new-site.net? Hopefully google has indexed it, but why should you depend on that?

This behavior increases the difficulty of indexing the web from "count links to page X" to some a deep learning of all article content - and that deep learning relies purely on what's already been indexed.

The only external links are to their social media pages, the rest of their links are to their own articles.
Is there a word for websites like that?
I just feel your argument falls apart when Google have decided that everyone has to stop using flash except them. Certainly they are minimising Flash, but why don't they get rid of it 100%, before imposing it on the rest of us?

I don't expect Google to treat me specially, but I don't like Chrome having a special "If website is one of 10 special sites, get to use super-useful bonus browser feature without prompting". But I feel we are going around in circles.

This is a neat application of ML! In the same way that automated theorem provers have had huge impact on doing mechanized proofs, perhaps "automated lab assistant" could have a similar impact on the experimental sciences.
Note that since ES6 imports are statically defined, the browser can find and begin to download dependent files before even parsing the actual JS. They could even start downloading dependent files in parallel before the first file is fully downloaded.

But bundling will still probably be faster and will probably continue to be a mainstay of production web apps, just like minification already is.
No, the only issues we have seen is buying "new" drives on amazon that aren't the very latest, greatest 6-8TB drives.

If they are very new, they haven't had time to percolate through the supply chain and come out the other end as "drives we can pretend are new".

So again, as of May 2016, it is 4TB drives that we are seeing at great prices, sold as brand new (no confusion about this at all) on Amazon, and ... turns out they are not new.

I keep meaning to write a blog post about this with specific vendor names ...
I worked in food service for 5 years, I was given basic training on what safe food handling was, and how to ensure our guests didn't get sick, at that time in California, no license was required.

I don't think licensure brings any advantages - because dont forget - its not the business that needs a license, its the individual working for a low wage that does - its just an extra burden for the guy trying to find a job - and I'll note, the state (in California at least) doesn't even issue these things (or seem profit from them) - its issued by private entities.

Hey, so... I've got pretty severe PTSD from my experiences in combat. Loads of anxiety. I have to tell you since you made this point, that mushrooms specifically have helped me so tremendously to manage the anxiety. The way I describe it to other veterans (to encourage its use among people suffering from these disorders) is that mushrooms help ground me by providing a safe, chill, unique experience that I can later use as a point of reference when my anxiety gets bad. Make sure you know what you are putting into your body, don't take too many, don't eat them in a strange environment (a quiet weekend night in your living room is a good place), and only do mushrooms with someone you know and trust (and who has experience with the experience). You will thank yourself for doing it. It will change your life for the better if you follow those simple guidelines.
I hear they're not in San Francisco, but in Fremont, CA, which is somewhere around the Bay, but not technically in the Silicon Valley (it's about an hour away of public transportation from the interesting places), which explains why it's probably more affordable over there.

Seems so odd to me that cosmetologists are always brought up in these conversations, when IMHO licensing for them makes absolutely perfect sense. Just two off the top of my head:

1) Dyes/bleaches/etc. are often extremely dangerous industrial (as in, cannot be purchased easily at home) chemicals that used wrong could easily cause severe burns or at best an inhalation hazard.

2) Without properly cleaning cutting tools (scissors, clippers, razors, etc.) you run a high risk of spreading disease. With hair and nails the concern is often fungal, but if the last guy who got a buzz cut had lice you're in for a bad time if nobody cleans the clippers.
Microsoft's only interest in IE was to protect the Windows monopoly by suffocating Netscape and its Java Applets.

And they told OEMs they wouldn't sell them Windows at all if they preinstalled Netscape or uninstalled IE.

Which is why they got sued by the government and lost the trial.

Kind of different if you ask me.

It's really hard to assess that objectively because the cognitive biases affecting such perceptions are so strong. Certainly we don't want HN to be that way and try to nudge it in more fruitful directions. But the way to fight an undesirable pattern on HN is not with another undesirable pattern.

To expand on what gcp is saying, that's not true. Rectified linear units do better than sigmoids but are not differentiable (but are sub-differentiable), and ReLUs have the problem where small changes don't do anything (in the negative regime).
For those seeking to break down the barriers of the mind, psilocybin and mescaline are the most intelligent options. SWIM (Someone Who Isn't Me) grew mushrooms and peyote cactus to enable revelations in the minds of consenting adults, and every single person who ingested these naturally-occurring organic substances thanked SWIM for a life-changing experience.

That said, there are obvious risks to glorifying psychedelic use, especially when available psychedelics are usually in the form of LSD. While these synthetic compounds can yield the same results as their organic counterparts, there is no way to verify the amount of LSD in a dose. Overdosing on LSD can trigger schizophrenia and several other mental problems in those who are prone to it. This is why SWIM recommends organic psychedelic compounds that can be clearly measured into an appropriate dosage for the individual's size and past psychedelic experience.

There is also an overwhelming trend amongst unscrupulous suppliers to market doses of DOC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,5-Dimethoxy-4-chloroamphetam...) as LSD. While the observed effect of the two are similar, DOC can be extremely dangerous to those with hypertension and high blood pressure. DOC is also an amphetamine with greater risk of physical addiction.

SWIM also wants to point out that SWIM engaged in countless adventures with varying levels of psilocybin and mescaline dosages, and arrived at the conclusion that psychedelic substances are not necessary for seeing the beauty in life or the purpose that one may have in this world. SWIM's most transformative revelations came about while completely sober at a Taoist monastery of the Wudang mountains in China. It is SWIM's opinion that all can know beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness (Tao Te Ching, chapter 2), and now urges people to pursue safe and well-known techniques (meditation, yoga, tai chi, qi gong) for improving one's state of mind.

It would be difficult to account properly for ingredients such as butter and oil which are hard to see in a finished dish and drastically affect the calories.

But people would probably still pay as long as it's a good faith attempt, since they can't necessarily do better themselves, so it would be just as accurate and save time.

And with geolocation, you could start to figure out where people are and then you'd know exactly the calories if they're at a chain restaurant.
Hi Debra,

> I think when you compare the US government to the likes of Russia and China, you'll see that the US is really not "out to get you".

Have you any evidence that the US Government has changed their modus operandi?

Programs like COINTELPRO weren't public knowledge until some time afterwards, ditto "rendition" of terrorism suspects for overseas torture. Snowden has demonstrated that your Government still engages in widespread illegal activity.

I'd say the only reason such abuse seem "historical" is that we're unaware of the abuses going on right now.

To be honest, speaking solely about personal image recognition, I think Facebook isn't worse than any other public web site (which can be scrapped and are scrapped). And RMS has his photos on his own, and many others. His image is already public and well-known.

Hyperlink turning radius (at top speed) is on the order of 100s of km, due to g-forces. You don't have much routing flexibility.

Following the kinks of a 100 kph expressway is likely not feasible.

Alternatives are to slow down massively as you approach / traverse urban areas, but this further increases trip time, changes acceleration and energy needs, and reduces the already abysmally low net passenger throughput.

I think you meant executing the actual JS. Finding the imports requires parsing the file, and imports can be anywhere in the file as long as they're at the top level.
It is polite to provide them, though.

While I do agree generators offer some amazing features, I think they also offer some complexity that we are currently not ready to handle.

from a given for loop:

for (x in function())

Please tell me when this for loop will end. You cannot.

If you instead did...

next = fib()
while (true) {
number = next();
}

You are instantly presented for every case in which this loop will terminate.

Now don't get me wrong, I DO fully agree that a generator is the correct method for doing this, I'm just pointing out another construct to allow you to do this.
Yet another possible reason licensing requirements have proliferated is that we have a less trusting and less trustworthy society, a much more fluid and transient society, today than in the past. We literally don't know anybody out there.

Where I live, people from a wide variety of locations across the globe are constantly arriving, setting up shop, and offering some kind of service or other (legally or otherwise).

It's not clear they're offering a high quality service or that they'll be available later to fix any problems they may create. It's not clear which community they belong to (if any) and are accountable to (if any). It's not clear how long they'll even be in country.

On the surface then, government licensing seems like it might be a tool that transforms a "Random, Unknown, Migratory Service Provider from Somewhere Else" into a "Locally Known, Certified, Accountable High Quality Service Provider"
Ask HN: How to disrupt the SaaS review sites marketplace?
I look at sites like Capterra and GetApp and g2 crowd and they all look about the same and don't get me as a buyer any real feeling of the products they describe.

I was wondering if someone has an idea on how to disrupt this market and build a site which will give real value to SaaS buyers in a quick and honest way.

If you tell me in confidence, that you kidnapped the Limburg baby, I can legally tell whoever I want. I can even be forced by the government to tell them everything I know.

The difference is that phone companies don't record full transcripts. Just like my kinect isn't recording my room right now. That's why I have a reasonable expectation of privacy even though there is a kinect in the room.

But I don't have an expectation that the requests I make to xbox is private.
Sure, but it's still a yellow flag. Let the tech debt pile up too much and resolving them feels insurmountable.
While this is true most of the time, it's not entirely correct.

Python for example is also compiled into *.pyc files, but it's still slower than go.

The real reason why Go would be faster than JS, is not as much about compiled/not compiled but statically typed vs dynamically typed.

In statically typed language the types are already predetermined early on (during compilation) so the code no longer has to perform type checking at runtime.
You could do something like

try {
eval('"use strict"; import "jquery";');
} catch (e) {
// No imports.
}

but I wouldn't really recommend it.

Yes, psilocybin will help. An ex-girlfriend of mine had severe anxiety problems after being sexually abused, and one of our earliest memories together was taking 3 grams of Psilocybe Cubensis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_cubensis) during a hike to Half Dome in Yosemite. She underwent a transformative experience that day, not only overcoming her anxiety problems but also her fear of snakes (we saw several rattlesnakes at an uncomfortably close distance to us) and her fear of heights/fear of falling. While I wouldn't recommend taking psychedelics in a dangerous situation or during strenuous exercising, taking psychedelics in the right situation can be transformative to those with deeply-rooted mental issues.

Ideally, I think they should be equivalent and both should require buy-in from the other on major decisions. Making management decisions in a tech company without intimate knowledge of what can and cannot be done, and in specific time-frames is ridiculous (in the cases where the decision relies on engineering), just as making technical decisions without intimate knowledge of what the market wants, needs, and will respond to is ridiculous (in the cases where it affects products in the market).
I'd rather have 100% turnout by the 10% who are actually informed about the issues and candidates.
You seem to be aware, at least on a subconscious level, of the larger point - as you've demonstrated by including additional evidence.
