The obvious point is that Facebook cannot provide accurate review-and-takedown of the total activity of billions of users. It doesn't matter what you legislate, it's currently not possible.

Given which, "penalties for fake news" means one of: "after reports, which is too late", "all of it, so shut down your company", or "anything which annoys us enough to prosecute, so be proactive about pushing our stance". Choice three seems to be the usual outcome.

Which countries do that?
I think people saying this is done to intentionally build low quality things which have to be replaced are wrong. I also think people who think appliances weren't better in the 50s are wrong. This is optimization, plain and simple. The appliance manufacturers have figured out EXACTLY how think metal needs to be, how well painted, etc to create a product which will sell. If you want them to change their equation, consumers will need to change how they decide what to buy.

Fortunately technology is making it easier for us to read reviews and get more information. Hopefully we will soon live in a world where manufacturers are obligated to get good reviews five and ten years after their appliance is sold. That said, the technique of folding a brand and spinning up a new one is a great way to bypass these consequences.

That tagline perfectly targets a man with certain feelings on masculinity: "Stop Wearing Another Man's Clothing." I get that it is another way to present the idea of having clothes tailored, but it makes me think of how I used to trick my son into eating his all of his dinner by asking if he was man enough to eat it all or not.
1) Happiness is not as subjective as people think. Research suggest that what people state about their own happiness correlates very well with how friends and colleagues would describe a person as.

2) Having lived abroad extensively and traveled around many places keenly trying to observe these things I'd say Norwegian happiness is real. But we have a tendency in Norway to take every good thing for granted and complain a lot. E.g. I noticed when in North American, despite equal wealth, there is a lot more hardship and stress. You can even tell just by looking at people. People are stressed out about over demanding jobs, risk of losing health care, crime, dysfunctional politics etc.

We Norwegians have among the best work-life balances of anywhere. Works doesn't stress people out as much as many other places. And the government provided welfare services means we worry a lot less about stuff than people in the rest of the world.

3) Another thing I notice is that people trust each other to a high level in Norway. In many other parts of the world suspicion and trust grinds on people. It can imagine it is exaushting dealing with a constant paranoia where other people, the government, the police etc can never be trusted.
I'm afraid your corollary won't apply; the lowest wages will just move elsewhere. There already was a company in China that moved production to the US because of wages there (plus transport costs, etc). I could see countries in Africa become the next manufacturing powerhouse(s), direct access to major seaways to both the US, Europe and Asia, etc. I don't know if they have the natural resources though, or the political stability for that matter.

How is that annoying? All of these things can be part of a healthy, balanced diet. Why cut them out completely?
Is this "how happy are the people in the country" or rather "how happy the people in the country say they are"? :)

I don't have the ratio for tuna off-hand, but IIRC a selenium supplement is all you need to counteract a fish-heavy diet.

But, yes. You can also supplement fish with higher sel:merc ratios to balance it out.
The best thing you can do is avoid sugar. I started doing it about a year ago for similar reasons. I lost 30 pounds and feel great. I also cut way back on caffeine and alcohol. That probably played a part in my feeling better but perhaps not losing weight.
Health insurance isn't so different. If you have a sudden health crisis, you'll get treatment. If you're unable to pay for that treatment then the rest of us have to pay for it, and requiring you to carry insurance avoids that.

The alternative (barring socialized medicine) would be to refrain from treating people unless they can proved their ability to pay, which sets you up for dying unnecessarily just because you forgot your wallet or something. And I'd really rather not have it be like that.

Of course, our current insurance mandate requires a lot more coverage than is necessary just for that, but at least a big chunk of it resembles the auto insurance requirement.
What gets measured becomes the goal. I think about payments and the numbers I'm likely to care about are number of transactions and revenue per transaction. I would not really focus on users because it is vague...could be a harvested email or someone who downloaded an app etc.

Or rather I would not focus on number of except as it relates to transactions. Having just ten users who do a million transactions a month suggests a strong network effect and the potential for profits from volume on fractional fees. A million users who do a million transactions a month might also be good, but 4k users at $60 acquisition per user does not suggest it will be easy to get to the hundreds of millions of users that would are probably required to make a consumer facing Unicorn.

Fintech may be a hot space. By the time I hear about hot spaces I figure the smart money that earns 40% a year is already there and big dumb money that is happy with 6% a year is on its way. Not that I have money to invest either way.

Good luck.
Ask HN: How to report a website that streams tv channels illegally?
I came across an advertisement which I found disturbing.
An online wesbite that apparently offers streaming of TV channels such as HBO and sports etc like premiership.

The person owning the website is trying to sell off through fb etc saying the services he provides are legit.

I tried to find a way to report his site to e.g Paypal which is the form of payment on that website, godaddy which apparently owns the domain.

Nothing so far, I can't seem to be able to somehow let the authorities to know about it.

Could you please help me on what to do? (I reside in the UK)

P.S: I usually come across pirated content and am fine. Reason I want to report this site is that its trying to get people to pay bundles for like £150 etc to watch pirated content, and I feel many will fall for this.

Predicting peaks in supply and demand for energy is essentially turning the utility into a hedge fund.

I think it's worth considering the overall characteristics of the "improved" algorithm, since the ML optimizations are likely analogous to leveraging based on an overfitted predictive model, and the objective of a power grid is resilience as well as efficiency.

Also, depending on how you define efficiency, it may be considered beneficial to shut down a coal plant and spin up a few hundred windmills, even if the resulting price per kilowatt hour increases by 5%.
The EU is the only organisation that has taken on Microsoft, Google, and Apple, among others - and won.

It's a world leader in environmental standards, and some countries - like Germany - are working towards moving to an economy that runs exclusively on renewables.

It obviously isn't. But what the border between the Republic and the North looks like post-Brexit is not at all clear. The constitutional upheaval of Brexit will significantly affect all of the devolved nations (including NI) and their relationships with their neighbours.
All of the foods you listed are perfectly healthy. The food industry led the science down a false path that led to healthy foods (such as all the ones you listed) being branded unhealthy, and bad ones (low fat, refined carbohydrate foods) being branded as heart healthy.

I see AR and VR being two very different markets. VR is going to initially be almost entirely for entertainment while AR will be almost entirely for industrial applications. The first commercially successful AR systems are going to be based around integration with software from companies like Autodesk, Bentley, Catia, Tekla and the like, not some consumer app store.

If.you have another metric please offer it.

I have no reason to believe the metrics are biased. A similar number of issues appear for all browsers . The difference is the type of issue.

Of course you're free to just take it on faith that Edge is more secure because Microsoft says so and that the CVE listings have no purpose being used as a comparison. But for me, without finding some other metric to compare by I'll use this metric until there's a better replacement

At times, I think social media helps perpetuate this unhappiness, especially when we have a tendency to only showcase the best in public. Getting married. Having a kid. Happy moments. Vacations. Career achievements. Keeping up with the Joneses has been a term for over a 100 years.

Fantastic events are wonderful to see in small doses, but when it's a constant stream of oneupsmanship of who is doing better than others, it's easy to get caught up and think, "Gee, everyone is leading such incredible lives, why aren't I doing the same?" And to temporarily fill that need by posting something yourself, which only perpetuates the cycle.

I found QoL improvements when I chose to abstain from Facebook in December, specifically an increase in mindfulness and satisfaction with my daily life. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't encourage self-improvement, but I think the stress/angst that can arise from social networks can be counterproductive to ones own journey.
There are arguments the Vienna Convention has created acquired rights, and the ECHR's right to a private and family life. There's also the ability to apply for permanent residence if you've been in the UK for more than 5 years.

This is all being predicated on a more specific settlement not being reached with the EU. Given the UK says it wants one that shouldn't be a problem and may well turn into the UK making a unilateral grant of residence even if the EU decides to play hardball.
We have the exact same policy in the United States. Anyone can pick up a phone and buy realestate.

No one calls it corruption here. It's just capitalism? This has bothered me for years. I first learned about it in a realestate law class. My hand went straight up. Nothing has changed.

(They passed a feel good measure about a year ago that supposedly vets the money. I can't think of a country I can own realestate with a money transfer.)
He was listed as one of the reporters, but was actually an intern and was released.

Clearly the guy is an activist, it just seems he's got a very unusual system of ethics that guide his activism, which most people would consider over the top or abhorrent. I'm certainly not defending him, I chalk it up to an HR mistake by The Intercept and nothing more.
> There's a solid base of racist idiots in the UK - proud "patriots" who don't understand how to invest in the future, but do understand tribal flag waving and imperial nostalgia.

> But she's using them to pursue far-right extremist Tory policy - which means the end of the welfare state, the end of affordable public health insurance, the end of free education, and so on

I must have missed these parts of the tory manifesto, can you point out where any of these things are promised, or being acted upon?

It's bearing up in the polls because nothing visible has happened yet (apart from Sterling's slide). This is peak UK. I think 10 years from now it will be hard to find anyone that openly admits to having voted leave (much like you can't find many these days who admit they were ok with the Iraq war).

Re: Lib Dem referendum - I think you're referring to the pledge they made in 2008 when the Lisbon treaty was being ratified (saying if there was ever another massive treaty change the country should have a referendum, presumably rather that than block the other 27 states from adopting the treaty if that's what they wanted) or the 2010 manifesto point about a referendum on joining the Euro. Neither of them are mad and the first one would likely never have happened.

This is where my "utilitarian" comment comes in, for the lack of better word. There are thousands if not millions of people willing to emigrate, with many decorated ones.

I see this similar to "tech interviews" where an individual is asked for arbitrary algorithm questions (that are deemed hard). The idea is to eliminate false positives, even if it comes at the expense of false negatives.

I disagree with the current US view on "criminal history", for the reasons you say, it also makes me scared because of false convictions, for example. I also don't trust the legal system of another country, and i agree each case to its own.
something that's illegal in a country could be considered a human right / freedom in the US. But i think i see the point.

it was a suggestion of what they thought should be done ... you'd be foolish to accept it as a promise

You're giving the Leave campaign a free pass on a technicality of language.

I don't believe the 51.9% of voters who saw an emotive slogan on the side of a bus and in a 1001 tabloid headlines assumed this was a gentle suggestion. They thought this might actually be done.

The Leave campaign knew emphatically it would not, but pushed it anyway because many voters care about the NHS and it was an easy way to win their votes.

I don't think it's unreasonable to hold a political organisation to account on their policy positions. To not do so condemns us to live in the kind of post-truth swamp we're seeing unravel on the other side of the pond.
Indeed, there are still some places in the country where you can purchase a home for a reasonable amount. Anywhere remotely desirable however has seen a tremendous decrease in affordability (median price vs median income).
It seems unwise to do exhaustiveness checks automatically on an interface that "might" be a sum type. The declaration is a single line and has the benefit of being completely unambiguous.

I seen an article on the ring pulls on top of coke cans. They are hollow because it has a huge impact on raw materials usage (over the course of 10 million cans). I think every gram counts to the bottom line of the share holders no matter how mundane. Similar to the UK Construction Industry. Hit the minimum possible legal requirement and charge the maximum amount of money.
Do you know how they detect those? It looks that even pages with 100 links pointing to only one other site, with spammy domains and keyword stuffed texts still help with Google.
The recruiting world changes a lot. It goes from trying very hard to find ANY somewhat qualfied candidate to having so many resumes on your desk that you cant keep up. Recruiters have to go from being trying to contact a lot of people to being able to tell who is actually skilled from all the people contacting them.

It's interesting. Recruiters, third party and internal, also tend to be the first to go when a bubble burst.

There is no upside, it's a self-inflicted wound that will cost all of us £millions in the decades to come.

Those who voted for Brexit (including 2 in my family) didn't think it through.
In NL, whenever you buy a new appliance, you (the consumer) have to pay a "removal fee", which is a few% or a fixed price depending on the product - think like €15 for a washing machine. This is used for the shop you buy a product from to take away your old one, and to cover some of the costs of recycling (I guess the materials in a dishwasher aren't valuable enough on their own to warrant recycling for the sake of making money off of it. Probably not many reusable parts either)

Home Office already brakes the EU law on immigration, and I have absolutely no doubts that it will brake it further.

The example I have in mind is that Home Office requires that EU citizens who are in education or self employed should have Private Comprehensive Health Insurance to have right to permanent residence in the UK, despite the fact that such requirement is literally illegal in EU. The law states clearly that if you lived somewhere for 5 years, you have the right to permanent residence in that country - but Home Office will ask you for proof that you had comprehensive health insurance as a student for example, before issuing the Right To Permanent Residence permit. So people like me, who lived here for 7 years now, and were in university for 4, are fucked, because all the time spent here does not count towards the 5 year minimum requirement for permanent residence(and of course no one at uni told us we needed private health insurance - we were told to register with NHS and could use NHS like any EU citizen without any limits). I live here, I pay my taxes, I'm starting a family, want to buy a house soon - and then I ask myself, why the hell would I, if I can literally get kicked out in 2 years because someone decides not to give me a visa.

I would have never considered leaving UK otherwise, this is my home now, but it looks like I will have to at least consider my options now.

'Dozen or so'? You can get a lamb roast at Costco.
You strike me as awfully hypocritical. You go on about how terrible insurance is, how lives are finite anyway, how you were prepared to die, and yet you didn't just die, nor did you pay for your own treatment.

The only difference between you and me in this area is that I can admit that I'd rather not die now, and my relationship with the people who would pay for my major surgery is a little more formal.

This business about how health insurance is a terrible idea and you're prepared to die from a lack of it would be a lot more convincing if you were paying for your own care and foregoing major interventions.
While we're on the topic, can anyone share the tools and methods they use to visualize GC in their live environments? Back when I worked at a Scala shop I spent an incredible amount of time in the VisualGC plugin tab of VisualVM. This was fairly onerous because its a fully seperate java app connecting to a jmx port on each jvm you want to look at. It also required setting the refresh rate to 100ms to be able to see the consumption patters clearly in the graphs, which in turn required a fairly low latency and stable network connection to not be riddled with false-positives (meaning, our mac-mini driven tv's with wifi connections).

Does anyone have a better tooling story to share? (on any lang/runtime). I found that things like datadog and newrelic were completely useless because their time-resolution completely obscured the underlying behavior pattern. Like trying to measure the tide with one datapoint a day.
