> Chrome has much more marketing behind it.

Allow me to be more specific.

Chrome is an adware that is distributed by Google. It is bundled with most of Google products and a huge amount of software setup, because Google pays publishers some pennies for every new installation.

I have seen a lot of people who have had Chrome installed without knowing it, some of which transitioned without being aware of it simply because Chrome replaced the default browser and imported all settings. For the non tech savvy folks, it basically came down to "the Internet icon changed" .

You would need to merge the map with wind readings to try to figure out where it came from.

I'd prefer there to be no passwords at all, aside from my e-mail password.

If I want to log in, an e-mail is sent to my mail, and an optional 2FA on my mobile.

If my mail is compromised, all the other passwords can be reset anyway.
You are aware that "The Day After Tomorrow" was a fictional movie, right? It's a dramatisation set in the real world. Fantasy Mexico can do all manner of things.
OK, here's another sample.

The eggs I bought yesterday (I'm in the UK) have a "best before" date printed on them of 4 March, i.e. 2 weeks.

> Pointing a camera at an officer is likely to cause him to become aggressive.

Across dozens of encounters over the course of a decade, this has not been my experience whatsoever. I think that it also does not match the experience of the legal observer community ("green hats") who have filmed (or benefited from the filming of) thousands of police encounters in every major city in the USA over the past 20 years.

Instead, it has been my experience that turning on a camera causes a far more pacific and professional approach to emerge from officers and also empowers officers in a supervisory position to keep better control over their subordinates.
Is this copyright infringement? I know HN generally side-eyes IP law, but this seems like a pretty straightforward violation. Neuromancer certainly isn't out of copyright.

EDIT: Listening to this kinda makes one appreciate the virtues of hiring professional voice actors to do audiobooks. Don't get me wrong, I worship William Gibson, but he is... not suited to this task.
Using a 3rd party to login is nice and all but:

- if the party and you don't get along anymore, the accounts are dead. Some business are still counting the money lost from cloudflare deciding the underlying site is not respecting their conditions anymore. Same for Google translate. Auth is no different.

- if it has a technical failure, it's impossible to login. If you think it never happens, think again. We hear about a failure every year for some big companies. Because you don't have access to the code, you can't implement a quick fallback and must wait until they fix it.

- if their 3rd party account is compromised your site is as well. "Someone pirated my facebook" is something I heard to many time. It just meant that a close person from them maliciously used their account by accessing their computer when they were away, gaining access to everything.

- if their API changes, you need to change your code. Meaning you need to follow up on each providers. This can have a huge cost and the GAFAS really don't care and change their API at will.

- if the user closed their 3rd party account, they can't login anymore. This one is terrible : when I closed my gmail account, I became locked out of many services with not way of recovering them.

And then let's say you have one sass for auth (Oauth provider X), one for the db (firebase), one for map (gmap), one for static files (ES2), one for your messages (CloudAMQP) and so one.

Basically you own nothing in your infrastructure. You have no control on anything, you are dependent of a lot of things, and they all have you "clicked here to agree" on a lonnnng legal text that will update regularly and be affected by market and politics, across various countries.

Your entire business is at the mercy of others.

I understand that HN's ranking algorithm isn't 100% disclosed because people post startups here and this forum needs to be a fair environment. I say this to make clear that I do get the security ramifications of revealing too much.

But it sounds like you have a bit of understanding when it comes to this topic, which I'm very interested in understanding more about generically speaking. I've always been curious how vote manipulation detection _actually works_, and the kinds of things that can be done to combat vote hacking of various kinds.

I say this as someone vaguely considering the idea of making a small HN-like forum at some point (still figuring out the why and how).
Similarly, a lot of the .NET stigma in the startup world comes from those of us that used .NET in the 2.0–3.0 days. Though it's matured and changed a lot since, it's improbable to go back unless working on a full Microsoft stack.
Let me put forward a few possible reasons.

1: Nintendo portable systems have sold really well, so the market could be large. DS sold 154 millions units, 3DS has sold 65 million units so far. Of course no guarantee Switch will approach that. It is more risky with the hybrid approach, and continuing stiff competition from smartphones and tablets.

2: Handheld/portable systems are often better fits for indie scale games. Smaller/cheaper/shorter games.

3: Less AAA competition. Nintendo systems haven't been getting the biggest, latest greatest AAA titles from the large publishers, so indie games have more room to stand out.
Hmm true, my language was a bit ambiguous. I meant it was abandoned by Sustrik [1], even if some of the community are doing the best they can manage to keep it alive.

Storage costs are certainly something to be weary of, and something I have always hone through great efforts to minimize.

We have just over 5GB of total storage in our org and are only using ~45MB after a year because we planned out model around both storage efficiency and a sane data model.

This doesn't seem to address lack of caring?

I think I'd just have assumed babies/infants didn't care that their face was dirty or whatever, rather than jumping to 'they don't recognise themselves'. No reason not to extend that to animals?
True -- at the right threshold one upvote can mean the difference between a post sinking without a trace or making it to the front page and gaining many more votes and views. In that way one upvote can trigger much more than 100 views.
>To me, all those well-regarded films feel like they are full of cliches. Tvtropes lists dozens and dozens of examples.[1][2]

I find the TvTropes examples lacking (or worse, BS). I mean their list has stuff like: "Adaptation Expansion" (that the story was based on a poem Burton had once written), "Black Comedy", "The Blind Leading the Blind", "Bogeyman", ""Cassandra Truth", etc. Those are supposed to be cliches?

Those are more like listing all possible states of matter, and calling some part of the universe a cliche for containing them.

So, yeah, TNBChristmas is not some abstract surrealist image sequence -- it's a story and contains aesthetic concepts and narrative similarities with other stories, starting from the Iliad. Those are not cliches -- and I'm not convinced TvTrope author even knows what a cliche is.

Same, or worse, when discussing Miyazaki:

"Adults Are Useless: Well, Chihiro's parents are, hence the need to rescue them"

"Big Eater": Chihiro's parents when they transform into pigs.
Boh eating chocolate.

They even mention "Bittersweet Ending" as a cliche (and I'm sure they have: Ambiguous Ending, Happy Ending, Sad Ending, etc thrown at other movies too).

Whatever...

What I objected to is also not about the "hero's quest" or "the 7 basic plots". Rather, a good movie (or literary work for that matter) is not about the plot at all, the plot is a merely a vehicle, and the movie transcends it. Pixar movies are all about the plot, and they are also all about the plot unfolding linearly and predictably, with big arrows pointing at any "critical moment".
For a few years now, I've been working on an autonomous vehicle (https://github.com/gtagency/buzzmobile) that some friends and I hack on. We just recently hit what I'd call 1.0 in terms of a huge system refactor to make the entire system much more robust and testable.

I started working on this recently: https://github.com/joshuamorton/tut, and might go back to it. After seeing Kenneth Reitz's Pipenv I wanted to do something similar but a bit more extensive that included testing tools and some other stuff. And tut is the WIP result. Think Cargo for python.
I just tried digging for examples of supervotes in the wild. The idea is intriguing.

Couldn't find an aggregator that does it. Interestingly, however, it's a common voting tactic on reality competition TV (e.g. The Voice, American Idol) [1].

Does anyone have examples of supervotes in action for online communities?

>> They had quite a bit of patience with you and you saturated it.

You don't need to imagine. I explained it very clearly in the rest of the paragraph: You sounded like a smart aleck lecturing them the entire time. Maybe you didn't read it?
To be honest, I know what you meant, but I saw an opportunity to pontificate and I leaped on it. Thanks for being a good sport about it, but hey, what else to be expected from someone who loves their pup?
It assumes that the notion of self is a complicated thing. My theory has always be the opposite. I think the notion of self is the most simple, most basic thing of all, like the smallest dot possible in a gigantic space. Anything, no matter how primitive, can have it. I don't think it requires thoughts or analysis. "I am" is very simple, it's us that try to make it complicated, wrapping it into more complex concepts like "what", "when", "where", "who", "purpose" or "quality".

In that sense it's not a surprise that even small creatures can realize "this is me". It's a leap from "I am", but not a huge one. And more related to the ability of sense organs than the size of the brain.
I would say yes. For one thing, they have similar behavior responses to similar sorts of situations, like to danger or having another creature doing something it doesn't like (i.e. poking it with a sharp stick). Also they have some similar brain anatomy that lights up, from what I recall. Also they respond to similar emotions in humans, like anger or grief. So it seems something rather similar to human emotions, at least some of them, is going one.

However, I doubt that dogs have all the human emotions. And that makes me wonder if dogs have one or emotions that humans don't have.

By the way, I want to say this has been a really interesting discussion, lots of relevant points I wouldn't have thought of.
> they have to a large extent replaced the push for higher wages.

A fascinating claim. I can see how that would work, but haven't heard of it before. Is this commonly accepted knowledge in the US, or do you have a source?
The article repeats the standard erroneous concept of "single point perspective", which it says is what a pinhole camera produces.

"instead of producing an image from a single point perspective, as would a pinhole, its straw counterpart produces a multipoint perspective from an array."

The traditional meaning of single point perspective is a drawing technique which uses a single vanishing point (rather than multiple vanishing points, one for each set of parallel lines in space).

The technique of using straws will produce a parallel projection of some kind, depending on the design of the camera. It isn't a "multipoint perspective" just because it's a parallel projection. This is so basic.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way. He strikes me as a series of interesting ideas filtered through a particularly messy mind.

Ive noticed a link in new that stays at 1pt a while go up a ton after I upvote it. This means either it stayed dead followed by a bunch of simultaneous upvotes or the site gives extra weight to high karma users. I dont upvote enough stories to be sure which it is. I just see points go up tens of votes second I upvote most submissions.
FAKE NEWS! I was there this morning. It was called off 13 seconds before liftoff.
Sure, dynamic types are types. And nothing stops you from running a full-featured typechecker at runtime, one that can enforce useful invariants beyond “expected int but got string”.

It’s just markedly more useful to me to have that information available statically. I like being able to modify code with the assurance that the compiler will tell me about all inconsistencies. I like that the compiler can prove that its automated transformations are correct. Of course, maybe that says more about the way I work than type systems themselves.
It's getting really old, really fast that tech workers "have to save the world".

No thanks, just let me be so I can live my freaking life.
This seems interesting. I use a Makefile to bootstrap my machine and manage my dotfiles.

I understand the appeal of Ansible, but I think it's more robust features are most useful in more complex environments than a personal laptop. My Makefile seems to do the trick.

I came to say exactly this. The pricing for resources chart is helpful. The performance results are based on too small a sample to be meaningful.

It's really a measure of the load on the hardware by neighbouring accounts at the time of benchmarking.
My guess is that what we call "self-awareness" in humans has several components, and then the question is which of them are or are not found in any other particular species.
No. Don't even try to guilt me into action.

The current landscape may favor you more if I take certain actions, but that does NOT obligate me at all.
There's a Discourse-type thing (it's not Discourse) that gives you upto 3 votes on any one topic, and I think a daily maximum, that perhaps increases with user trust - but I don't remember the name.

I see it from time to time used as a forum or feature request tracker.
Does William Gibson not own the copyright on his own work?
Take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq1z3usHseU

Those PVC pipes are ~$8 at your local home improvement store. I don't roll the way he does though. Instead, I try to move my body through various movements (squat, arms behind back/overhead, etc), and when I feel tightness or pulling sensations in the muscle I'll mark the spot. Then I place that spot on the roller, and just lean all my weight into it; I will roll around a tiny bit just to try and find the most tender spot, but once I find it, I hold still and press on it until it "lets go" and it no longer feels tender.

Once I had been using a PVC pipe for a while, I started doing the same thing using the shaft of a barbell - with weights on the end, it works a lot like a foam roller. This really hurts, but the results are amazing.

I really should make do a youtube video of this because almost all of the foam rolling/self myofascial release stuff on the internet is kind of bad. The barbell trick doesn't seem to be something people know about either.
Do you have your makefile on github?
+1 to why no visuals? Having a GUI maker without a single still or animated screen shot is perplexing. Can you add a couple screen shots to the GitHub repo?
Most things in new don't get any votes at all so you're going to see lots of volatility there (nor does the ranking there matter much). The ranking computation is also not necessarily instant although maybe it is, I don't know. But I don't think this is any evidence of high karma users having some kind of supervote. If you could move items on the front page with a single vote (or with your mind), that would be another thing altogether.
If it is on archive.org, rest assured that any copyright issues have already been addressed.

And yeah, authors rarely make good voice actors. I am reminded how terrible Wind in the Keyhole was since Stephen King decided to record it himself as compared to all the other books in the series that were voiced by the greats: Frank Muller and George Guidal.

>No one knows what another person, never mind another animal experiences.

The word "know" has many different meanings, so it depends which one you are using, and for what purpose. For many practical purposes we often can know perfectly well a good deal of what another person is experiencing. So for instance when we see someone walk up to a door and open it, we know that they saw the door, thought it would be desirable to walk through it, and knew how to open it.
Nope, this is not true. Anyone can upload to archive.org and there's only one person reviewing flagged content AFAICT.
Maybe it's just me but posts like that you linked fill me with a toxic feeling. I don't know how to describe it. It just smells so fake and diplomatic. Plastered with photos of smiling people in different countries and happy-go-lucky company culture bullshit. I don't know how I could move my body out of the bed if I were to work in environments like that. A "company retreat" is a nightmare in my eyes.

Sigh. I'm a pessimistic loner of an introvert and I don't need your bullshit in my life. I wish there was some more room for us on this planet. Every corner you look it's either filled with extroverts or fake extrovert wanna-be rockstar-templayers.

I think the average user is more than 10x as likely to click a 1k link than 100pt.

Personally, if it's massively upvoted I'll click and skim even if it doesn't sound like it will interest me - if it's that important to the community, I 'should', right?
It's not clear to me that a long-term strategy is possible in heterogeneous democracies. The back-and-forth swings in power between highly opposed ideological groups disincentives long-term planning and big thinking.

Why plan for the next 100 years of climate change when the next guy voted in will throw your work out the window and claim it's a conspiracy?
As someone with a hardly any interest in this problem it seems to me that this isn't a great paper.

In particular, please don't use the empty "fake news" meme to dismiss it, regardless how low the quality is. It doesn't add anything substantive as the phrase has lost all meaning other than as a perjorative dismissal.

Does tinder's super like count? Obviously a totally different domain. I have mixed feelings about it.
I would expect it to be extremely rare for the order of symbols within a binary to hide or expose bugs in the application. It's not like compiler optimizations where semi-random inlining decisions can allow for further optimizations, with a cascading effect on whether undefined behavior gets noticed or what kind of code gets generated, etc. Linkers are much simpler and lower level than that, in the absence of LTO.

Anyway, many people already develop without optimizations and release with them, which is far more likely to result in heisenbugs even if it's technically a deterministic process. For that matter, I'm only proposing to use incremental linking in debug builds, so most of the time you'd only end up with nondeterminism if you were already going to get an output binary substantially different from a release-mode one. The only exception is if you have optimizations enabled in debug builds.
Authors generally assign the copyright to the publisher in exchange for a royalty, so no probably not.
Your problem learning German probably stems from "Deutsche Methode", i.e. throwing you without any preparation into talking in a strange language without explaining anything, not even meaning of words very often. For some reason this is extremely popular and distinguished method in Germany, maybe stemming from German masochism formulated in "if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't count", which you see around here everywhere. More pragmatically it probably brings Goethe Institut much more money than making the language more accessible (which is certainly doable).
