I've wondered similar but, for Youtube at least, there doesn't seem to be a frame-level API. You can pull a video and analyze it yourself, but you'd basically need to download all of youtube.
It doesn't really matter, does it? Whether it is a raise or not, it is radiation that exists.

Even if attacking the reading itself: The numbers might be wrong, the radiation is undisputed high.
Yeah, the Mars mission loss is also really well-worn at this point. I've heard this example in contexts ranging from cross-org communication, to software APIs, and unit checking (as in SI, USCS, etc.). Now I can add "language X is better than language Y" to that list!
Apply. Then, ask the recruiter, he or she will answer your questions during a 30 minute chat on the phone. It's the first step of the process. If you make it onsite you'll get a tour of the office and will be able to ask tones of questions to your interviewers.
It looked like him. A bit of lag, but yes.
Oh no! I think you may be right. It is possible to correct the model for numerical stability in a manner that doesn't impact the output, but my approach fails at that. The correction from the previous step needs to be saved and carried over to the next step, just like the numerator and denominator are saved and carried over.

I think I will have to re-run all the results once I fix the code. This is a bummer

This all comes from the belief that, with few exceptions, the only way citizens/consumers should affect companies operating in their countries is through purchasing decisions. United we stand, divided we fall, and all that.

Even for less hilariously monopolistic situations than ISP choice, this is tricky, due to the massive information asymmetry. Not to mention it rewards the less than idealistic - corporations have no qualms against buying politicians to advance laws favourable to themselves.
i think we need to define what a "productized service" is.

they are not: apps, saas, products (books, courses,..), fixed bids on custom projekts or anything you bill by the hour.

a productized service is:

something you do very well, has a very narrow and fixed scope, you normally would bill this by the hour. think of it like writing a custom proposal but sell it to anyone at the same price.

some examples:

- i change the car oil for x usd.

- checking a website for responsiveness and show you the biggest mistakes and how to fix them for x usd. (website teardown)

- a/b testing an online shop to increase conversion by 5%

i myself am in the middle of turning my freelance sysadmin/devops business into a productized service, so i am eager to hear what ppl on hn had success with - and what did not work out for them.

a great ressource on this topic is pretty much anything Jonathan Stark is publishing: https://expensiveproblem.com/ and http://www.ditchinghourly.com/
spacemacs is all of the power of vim and emacs with all of the complexity of vim and emacs. Having said that, it's what I'm using for writing code now.

i used to use org-mode a lot back in the day, but I lost my emacs config, and since then haven't really gone back.
I always have a fond memory of organizing my tech life with org-mode, though. It was truly ahead of its time, but I feel there's better tools for the job now, that specialize in doing each of the many things org-mode does, but better.

Some alternatives I used off and on for a bit:
* NValt
* Respose Notes
* Evernote
* Plain Tasks for Sublime Text https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks
* Workflowy
* Other web-based/mobile optimized tools

It's still a great tool for managing a single dev's work life, especially if using emacs, but I've found more modern tools, with collaboration built in, pretty formatting for non-techies, etc. a little more flexible.

(I also dare to say that I'm on Microsoft OneNote these days, mostly because I work in a multi-platform environment.)

Recaptcha was not a free service.

It was provided a free service[0] (search free). I'm pretty sure that no one in this conversation is saying that the cost to run the service is free, and arguing such is a strawman.

was not developed for public domain works.

pilot project was to digitize the NYT archives

While the original "recaptcha.net" website is no longer available online (even via archive.org). There are plenty of sources still available that bely this claim. that will help convert printed text into computer-readable letters on behalf of the Internet Archive[0]. The team is involved in digitising old books and manuscripts supplied by a non-profit organisation called the Internet Archive[1]. "There's still about 100 million books to be digitised, which at the current rate will take us about 400 years to complete - Luis von Ahn, Carnegie Mellon"[1]. The sources are from 2007, when recaptcha was first introduced. There are more, but I picked the first two by going back to the beginning of the wikipedia entry for recaptcha and looking at the supplied sources.

This is before Google bought it in 2009. While I can't speak for anyone else, this is what I mean when I say "original" recaptcha.

laugh at your suggestion that Google could "pay a group of people to do".

They got a group of people to do it for free, which implies (barring salaries) that they could also get a group of people to do it for not-free. Thus the argument that people don't want to work for Google for free.

Google hadn't learned from massive user data

And when Google has met it's ML goals and decides it gets no further benefit from recaptcha? Remember, it's not a free-to-run service. They only continue it as long as they benefit. If recaptcha shuts down, it would have been nicer to have the fruits of that work available through something like the Internet Archive, than something like Google Books.

I stopped one of my hobbies abruptly 3-4 months ago. I realized how quickly my value and purpose became interconnected with work. I think people end up in work-is-life rut because they don't have other things to occupy their time / brain when they are home so they tend to think about work all the time which makes them talk about work which makes them work and so on.

Just started back up with my old hobby and I feel almost immediately better about everything and I think its mainly because I have something else to focus time thinking about and my life feels less singular.

A shame that they didn't raise this money through an IPO. I'm afraid of how long unicorns are staying private: it's a big bummer for their employees and early investors.

> Even the WHO predicted 4000, and that is one of the lower figures. This is heavily debated, but to say it was 56 is not even a base for discussion. The cleanup crews alone died in higher numbers.

The WHO number is number of people expected to die prematurely as a result of Chernobyl. The deathcount he gave is an estimate of direct deaths. They mean very different things. The WHO number includes anyone who can be expected to die sooner, whether their life expectancy has been cut by a decade or a year. It's an important consideration, but it's not in any way directly comparable to the direct deaths numbers.

> Second: If you look at coal like that, you have to factor in all the deaths caused by nuclear energy, including uran production. That number raises fast as well.

Uranium mines used to be bad. In most present mines the amount of radon miners inhale is no higher than you risk in residential housing in areas with high natural occurence of radon. Even if you went back to unventilated mines to kill miners on purpose, it would still cause fewer radiation deaths than fly ash from coal plants, before even factoring in the other major causes of death from coal plants.

> Third: I never mentioned coal. Bashing against coal is a typical defence strategy of the nuclear industry, and something I see again and again repeated on HN. It's a very weak strategy imo: It is an obvious strawman, and many people who are against nuclear energy are also against coal.

It is relevant because power plants do not exist in isolation. If you shut down nuclear, it needs to be replaced. None of the alternative we currently have for base load are as safe as nuclear. So if you shut down nuclear plants over fears about them, odds are your replacement generation load will kill far more people. And a lot of places the goto replacement is still coal or oil/gas, which are some of the worst.

Stoking fears over nuclear is outright immoral, given the consequences such fears have already had. E.g. the nuclear phaseout in Germany has resulted in continued use of coal at much higher levels than otherwise, to the extent that assuming lethality quivalent to US levels, the phaseout has likely already killed several magnitudes as many as all nuclear accidents combined, on top of the environmental effects.
I think you need to be more specific with your criticism.

There are roughly two kinds of

> "information wants to be free" proponents

The newer kind, who are of the "post-privacy" persuasion, who don't believe privacy is actually possible in this evermore connected world. Sometimes this includes a value statement of whether that's something good or not.

And then there is the traditional kind who's philosophy can be rougly summarized as "Public information should be free, Private information should be protected".

The slogan "information wants to be free" describes the tendency of information to proliferate and the value this brings to societey, and in any useful interpretation does not mean "Every single bit of information should be free .. whoops I forgot that my browser history is information".

Documentation of the exploitation of children clearly falls within the boundy of information that is private and should be protected, yet these things are shared all of the time, highlighting how information "wants" to be free.

I don't see how you are constructing a hypocricy here.
Go and Rust are fine for some use case. Swift is fine for iOS and macOS developers as they are all backed by strong communities.

Most of what you just said would actually reflect pretty badly on vegan diet values and improve paleo diet values.

Vegan diets are the product of intensive agriculture basically anywhere in the world. Paleo, depending on country, can be pretty low intensity, for instance, in Argentina where cattle roams free in the grassland.

While I easily concede that in places like most of the USA - where cattle is a product of intensive livestock exploitation - a paleo diet will produce a lot of CO2 compared to a vegan diet, that is actually not true in places like Argentina, or, to a lesser degree, in places like southern Europe.

absolutely nobody in aviation ever called it that.
It is legal to post photos of kids shot up by soldiers. Sebastião Salgado has entire collections of photography featured in museums around the world of genocide; even children in Africa laid waste by gunfire.

..and I'm sure somewhere, someone is jerking off to one.

When someone rapes a child, they put something into them; into their body, cause permanent mental and sometimes physical damage or death and leaves them with a high chance of developing PTSD.

When someone shoots a child, they put something into them; into their body, cause permanent mental and usually physical damage or death and leaves them with a high chance of developing PTSD.

I don't know what the correct solution is either. Both are terrible terrible things. But this disconnect shows where the priorities are in our current social structures.

> Would you use a CD as a storage medium when the CD reader/writer is size of a washing machine?

Yes, according to history, if that's all anyone had. :)

IBM's project might be the ENIAC of molecular storage devices. Only time will tell. Keep in mind your example doesn't go far enough to match past history, we used to actually have much worse than 600MB / washing machine. We used to have 100 words / warehouse.

"By the end of its operation in 1955, ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7200 crystal diodes, 1500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors and approximately 5,000,000 hand-soldered joints. It weighed more than 30 short tons (27 t), was roughly 2.4m × 0.9m × 30m (8 × 3 × 100 feet) in size, occupied 167m2 (1800 ft2) and consumed 150 kW of electricity."

"In 1953, a 100-word magnetic-core memory built by the Burroughs Corporation was added to ENIAC"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ENIAC

* EDIT: It'd be more fair to use punch cards as ENIAC's storage mechanism to compare against, and punch cards held a lot more than 100 words. Anyway, still, crazy by today's standards, right?

It nice to see documentation on a real world implementation of this architecture, and if anyone is interested in more detail, I'd suggest this book[1] on my to-read list (it details a very similar approach).

I've done SOA, and n-tier DDD, and I'd love a chance to build something like this, but as an enterprise developer, I have to operate quite a bit behind the curve (13 years later, and 90% of my co-workers have never heard of Evans' book). Still, selling new approaches to management gets easier if you can point to exiting production systems like this, so, thanks for posting this wints.

Reprocessing one minifier's output with itself is probably fine, since you're not mixing and matching approaches to minification. It's likely that a minifier is consistent with how it minifies internally, and they simply don't do multiple passes.

Your time would be far better spent, though, making a pull request to properly implement multiple passes on your minifier of choice so that you can safely get that benefit. Or you could say "meh, I'm not losing sleep over the extra hundred bytes" and work on something more productive.

I really don't buy this, its mostly a cultural fad. You can design your system as multiple services interacting via a strict API even in a monolith. Failure isolation is a pattern of how to handle errors, whether they come across as a 40x HTTP status code, a JSON field called "error" or a method call throwing an exception. And a single system enables you to work with simple method calls calling across services instead of all the complication SOA can bring with signaling errors/serialization over a network layer. Not to mention all the operational overhead that comes with managing more hosts and more services.

What Makes a Great Leader?
Aleppo's destruction reprojected onto London and Berlin [map]
I noticed when traveling through Central America, that while extreme poverty is everywhere, homelessness seems to be quite rare (with the caveat that I didn't spend much time in the capital cities, so the situation there may be different).

I think there are two reasons for it:

1) People don't seem to be as mobile, in general, and you'll find 3 generations of family living very close to each other quite often. I was hanging out with a local in Leon, Nicaragua and met like a dozen of her family members walking around a couple of blocks. People who are having hard times seem to just take up with family. We found one drunk lying on the side of the road, and she insisted we stop and find out what was wrong with him and take him back to his family. I had barely registered that he was there.

2) There don't seem to be as many zoning or construction safety laws, so building a shelter by yourself with almost no money seems to be quite easy. It might be a shack on the side of the road with no water or electricity, but it's better than sleeping on the street.

I was also struck by how jovial even people with very little seemed to be. Like having cable tv, food, friends and family was enough for people to be satisfied with where they are with life. They also seemed relatively fatalistic about health and safety issues. When you don't really have any expectation that someone is looking out for you, the idea that you could die from an accident or sickness any day doesn't seem to be that unlikely. People there in general just seem to take it in stride. I guess you have to if you want to get out of bed in the morning.

I think it made me realize that loneliness might be worse than poverty, and that the lack of social support for poor people in the us is worse than the lack of money. We could do more for people by creating social connections than we could be just giving them a check. I don't really know what the answer is there. I don't think it's a problem at either the market or government can solve.
