You're not missing much. I subscribe to a couple dozen different topics, but all I get is News, Entertainment, Cars, Sports, and Electronics, most of which are dominated by one source. I subscribe to my local mid-sized city news, and it's completely dominated by suburban high school sports scores. If I 'dislike' the sports scores, all of my local news goes away. There also doesn't seem to be a way to tell Apple why you're disliking something. I liked the story, I just don't like the clickbait headline. Show me the same story, but not from Buzzfeed.

I have smaller topics like Ruby, Arduino, security, AI, etc subscribed but I've never seen anything from those subjects in my feed. If I scroll down far enough it starts going back days, rather than showing more subjects.

I read it once or twice a day to keep up on big news, but I've given up any pretenses that it can be personalized in any way. It's a big-media news aggregator, that's it.
I'm sure it works great, but I dislike adding too many layers to my apps. I've been burned too many times by companies that have stopped supporting and moved on to something else, or disappeared, or haven't kept up with the latest iOS changes, or whatever, and I'm forced to migrate to a different solution, to let myself use these for my personal projects, where I have very limited time and energy.

Even using React Native is more than I'd normally do, but I don't see a better cross-platform option right now.
I would submit that, contained within the discussion of the screw is a description of the Buddhist concept of Pratītyasamutpāda [1], or in English: dependent origination.

That is to say, without the screw, there is no motorcycle; without the motorcycle, there is no screw. In this concept, things cannot exist without being connected, dependent, and intertwined with one another. There is nothing that exists independently.

When I was in school I showed my algorithm(on paper) to my teacher and He said: "It's wrong". I strongly said: "It works!". He froze for few seconds and than said: "Use these data for inputs" and I immediately saw the bug. Of course the entire class laughed.

I know that The story isn't about debugging, but sometimes showing "right" inputs can be very efficient way how to explain the bug to other person.

As long as you're using 2 filters, you're only adding one dimension to the distinction, so it would remain tetrachromatic. You would be able to distinguish more metamers than the configuration in the article (hence having more utility, probably), but ultimately you're still only gaining the "channel" of your binocular discrepancy as a virtual photopigment.
If you don't even read far enough into an article to give the author time to explain what they are talking about (although the headline already gives a pretty strong hint that it is not about the line you quote, which primarily describes a fact about the current situation, and is put in context in the paragraph after it), don't complain about its contents.

Uh, what?

First, the idea of declaring this un-American is grossly un-American itself. "We, the people" and "promote the general Welfare" seems to come somewhat before "mine, mine, MINE!" in the Constitution.

Second, Native Americans (and Puerto Rico) are fine with the idea of community property - which deals with your last point. I suppose you could declare them un-American, that's a very American thing to do, so you've got that going for you.

If you'd like to criticise this on the merits, go ahead - there's plenty of room. (For starters, a 100% estate tax will leave dependents destitute). But I'd be happy if HN could be kept free of the unthinking flag-waving approach.

I'd guess they were monitoring every signal from radio bands that have a line-of-sight or one-bounce range limitations, as they could get the rest of the spectrum from their ground-based antennas.

They're experts in signals intelligence and have no practical budget limitations. They're recording everything, automatically processing to find the interesting bits, and assigning real life humans to look at those interesting bits.

I'm guessing that in the NYC area, at the very least Russia, China, and Canada are sucking up the same EM signals, or trying to.

We mere mortals tend to assume that such a tool would be used for one thing in particular, because don't have cults of patriotism or bottomless bank accounts.

The site and data normalization are great. The problem is that applying the phrase "best case scenario" is simply false, and it is just a distraction that was not necessary on the site.

Amortizing my entire data usage over my entire cell plan (which includes talk & text), costs me literally $0.001/MB.

You should not present $0.24/MB (US|Prepaid) as the "Best case scenario" when someone on a standard AT&T plan pays 240x less.
Sure. But getting the spec right is more important than being smug about a silly mistake only novices make. And C has much more interesting caveats than this one.

Looking at the funnel plot in fig. 3 in the linked meta-analysis [1], the high precision studies (standard error < 0.268) are clustered around an effect size of 0. The overall positive effect derives exclusively from the medium and low-precision studies, with several visible outliers well to the right influencing the mean significantly. The medium and low-precision studies had problems with one or more of the following:

"randomisation; allocation concealment; blinding of therapists (intervention supervisors); blinding of participants; blinding of outcome assessors; handling of incomplete data (use of intention-to-treat analysis); selective reporting and any other risk of bias." [1]

Also, the result was only statistically significant for poor quality control groups that didn't engage in any shared activity:

"When the control group involved either no contact (eg, waiting list, usual care; p<0.01) or education (eg, computer course, health lectures; p=0.01) the estimate was statistically significant. Where the control condition was exposed to an active control (eg, stretching; p=0.17) or social group (p=0.62), the effect size was still positive but no longer statistically significant." [1]

In summary, a few poor quality studies with large bias account for most if not all of the effect reported in this meta-analysis.

Some of the roaming options on there look a bit better.
It's most likely an artist or producer on one of the tracks. This happens a lot with labels and releases, mostly collaborations. The song is made with two artist, then a year later, the labels are working on a joint release, but then one of the labels decides the song is no longer the right direction/fit/whatever at the current time. The song then is pretty much held captive indefinitely. Maybe it'll be released at a later time. Sometimes never. Happens with some movies too. There are movies out there that have been made with famous actors that have never been seen by the public and never will be.

In this case, I would think they can remove the problem song. Unless it's a co-producer on most of the score...then yeah... probably won't see the light of day if they can't resolve with that producer.

offering to build (tiny! like, 5-minute one-offs!) features _just for them_ sort of blows their minds

How did you manage to do that without making it impossible to add major new functionality to your app? Did you nail the basic functionality of the app from the starting gate and go straight into maintenance/feature-tweaking mode?

meticulous hand-holding through the first few weeks usually convinces them to stick around

This must have created some awfully high expectations from users, which is a double-edged sword. Were you able to keep up with expectations when you got enough users to sustain the business?
Well for my community sites, they just tended to come in on their own through minimal promotion. I mean, one of my forums is literally about a topic that no one else online is running a website about. For the members there simply were no viable alternatives.

However, when I failed the issue was getting people to use the site, not to sign up. People will sign up for sites and services almost at a whim, but the percentage who will actually contribute is in the single digits. So I ended up with a 'service' that mostly people ended up reading rather than posting on.

Just getting 100 users? Some active social media accounts, posts on other forums and communities, some good content and just damn faking activity until real people join tends to work well enough there.
False positives suck. There are people coming on here day after day, posting valuable or at least worthy comments, and nobody can see them. They waste their time unknowingly. It is cruel.
Makes sense but the driving factor has to clearly set Poland apart from the likes of Germany or South Korea which also have savvy consumers and rapid adoption.

Ask HN: 
I work as a consultant for unemployed skilled workers trying to get back to the market. What I do is find out what kind of opportunity is out there and what strategy will be used in order to put the foot in the employer's door as well as what should be said and done during their interview and assessment process. So it takes time to get there when I deal with automatic systems. So I ask you what is the principles used by online recruitment firms or online application forms systems used to match job seekers cv's? Or How I get my client's job application form being selected by these automatic screening systems?
It's not that big a deal.

Sorry, storvas is the brand name for Atorvastatin here in India.

i thought this is common knowledge; there used to be red-blue 3d glasses that worked with specially prepared pictures and a bit of practice and the red-blue color scheme wasn't an accident.
I remember a Rails application I developed a couple of years ago. Basically a JS dashboard over a time series database, but not a SPA. Let's say a few JS-fat pages displaying graphs with filters. The JS code in the pages made API calls to the Rails controllers which answer in JSON. Plus, we had some cron jobs pulling JSON data from a remote API.

The application was fast enough but the data transfer started to dominate response time when the queries were large. We did several optimizations to reduce the size of the JSON (gzip among them, obviously) and sometimes building the JSON manually instead of using the jbuilder provided a speedup.

The cron jobs were OK. Using oj made a noticeable difference over the default parser. Batch inserts in the db made a big difference too (the activerecord-import gem). With those optimizations there was no need to write everything else in a more performant language. After all, oj and batch inserts already moved most of our performance critical code from Ruby to C.

I disagree. Media seems to me to have gotten much more sensationalist and click baity over the last decade and often really stretches the facts in interests of agenda. To be fair maybe they feel this is necessary to survive in the face of the internet.

Trust is hard to establish but only takes an instant to break.
For me, the violence is made palatable - even interesting - by the sheer beauty of McCarthy's language. It's earthy and archaic, and yet strangely phantasmagoric. It's a bit trite to say, but McCarthy talks a bit like William Faulkner on acid, exploring a hardscrabble alien planet.

> . . . and he saw men lanced and caught up by the hair and scalped standing and he saw the horses of war trample down the fallen and a little whitefaced pony with one clouded eye leaned out of the murk and snapped at him like a dog and was gone. . . And now the horses of the dead came pounding out of the smoke and dust and circled with flapping leather and wild manes and eyes whited with fear like the eyes of the blind and some were feathered with arrows and some lanced through and stumbling and vomiting blood as they wheeled across the killing ground and clattered from sight again. Dust stanched the wet and naked heads of the scalped who with the fringe of hair below their wounds and tonsured to the bone now lay like maimed and naked monks in the bloodslaked dust and everywhere the dying groaned and gibbered and horses lay screaming.
"error"... Analyzing your Self is bound to uncover errors, and leave new ones behind. Persig was" enjoying" a catharsis through the dramatic, poetic introspection. How many "errors" will we miss in the discovery, analysis and resolution of our many other errors?

Sorry if you feel harassed. That is not my intention.

Let me just say that the article and commentary you posted could very easily have been misinterpreted as suggesting that Jews try to minimise the suffering of non-Jews at the hands of the Nazis. I'm sure you didn't mean it to come across this way because it is a very common trope in anti-Semitic thought, and I guess it was an honest mistake on your part. We'll leave it at that.
This is a very fair point, sir. I'll pull the phrase.
Yeah, it's not developers pushing video header backgrounds, ten analytics packages, and form designs that require 2mb of JS, CSS and images to achieve cross-browser. Designers, marketing/growth-hackers. Clients. Developers aren't blameless but we can only push back so much (usually very little—few trust us on design/ux, even when we're right)
Get stranded on the side of the road (something riders are almost pathologically averse to, with good reason) and your opinion will change dramatically.
Yes indeed. There are many. I would even guestimate that most of them are honest.
I read once somewhere that a reviewer said something along the lines of: "He didn't understand Zen and he didn't understand motorcycle maintenance either."[1]

However I read it several times and I think that interpretation is very uncharitable.

It is a touching big hearted story about a fractured person struggling to put himself back together while trying to connect with his son and while trying to figure out what it means to live 'the good life.'[2]

If what he had was metal illness, I think that he might be an example of someone putting it to the best use possible.

I'm honestly not sure if the MOQ holds up as philosophy or not, or even as a coherent mystical system. But I can say that I wish there were more books like it, that is to say: written by authors way on the fringe of mainstream thought.

[1] My critique about the Zen aspect is that Buddhism is not something you theorize about, it is something you practice. To theorize about Buddhism would be like a guy who reads a lot about golf trivia, golf training, golf biographies, but does not play golf. Golf is a thing you do, an aspiration to get the ball into the little hole. It is something you have to embody and realize in yourself. Buddhism more resembles learning a sport or a craft than a philosophy.

[2] Many of us should be so lucky to achieve even one of those things in a lifetime.
Must depend on your relationship culture. My friends and family would be insulted if I didn't try my product out on them first.
I'm not sure why a 100% estate tax is un-American. It's not like anyone "earns" an inheritance (I say this as someone who would benefit from a low estate tax.)
Equal opportunity. Not equal outcomes.
> uncapped internet works in pretty much any EU country I've been to

This is merely providers trying to be competitive and gain market share before EU abolishes roaming fees on 15th June [0].

A lot of providers I've seen have in the small print a limit for the time you can spend outside the home country (e.g. Three with their 'Feel At Home' limit you to two months a year abroad), so it'll be interesting to see what they come up once this comes into effect.

I'd be very surprised if my €5/month 'unlimited' (fair usage) 4G will really be unlimited throughout the EU.

It totally depends on your needs and what is generally acceptable. In Nigeria,for example VoguePay.com platform has been widely adopted by small businesses because of it unique features and free add-ons.

It is important to note that many businesses wants something that is easy to set up for use immediately at low cost. Being that Nigeria is still a cash-driven economy with low adoption of online payment compared to other regions, it will be a smart move to consider a payment gateway that is nearly one-size-fits-all for all card type and payment channels.

VoguePay excels here, that's why I recommend it for startups to use both for local and international payment transactions
