I've launched a couple of startups, and usually the combinations of these yield the best results -> word of mouth, reddit comments/posts, quora answers, hackernews posts/comments, comments on top SERPs, twitter posts + following leads, get listed on comparison/review sites or blog posts.

Of course comment when relevant, offer something useful and contribute to the discussion. Don't just spam link to your startup.
I was a frequent visiter to a forum where there was a problem I was able to fix. 1 post in that forum was enough to start to get traction.
I think what was meant by "fresh-squeezed" is the not from concentrate kind.

I certainly wouldn't describe juice from concentrate as "fresh-squeezed", because it's been squeezed, boiled to reduce its water content, frozen, packed, shipped, defrosted, rehydrated and packed again before I get to drink it.

Here is an excellent website that explores, in depth, catastrophic mass deaths in recent history: http://necrometrics.com/20c5m.htm

Indeed, best-effort estimates for the number of Jews killed range from 4-6M, with similar variance wrt actual cause of death (split among starvation, typhus, gassing, military action, etc.). It's very hard to pin down exact numbers. It's unfortunate that the fog of war isn't explored more often in the topical explanations of WWII most people are exposed to; as you stated, it gives ammunition to historical revisionists.

The danger here is not people who will stick their heads in sand. It's people who would not allow opinions different from their own to exist. So called "fact-checkers" were subverted by partisan propaganda in mere months. This effort vulnerable to the same too.

If it uses fully egalitarian participation model, a determined, vocal and ruthless clique would be able to enforce their view with relative ease, by just a) investing more time than others, thus gaining standing in the project and clout to use against opponents and b) just by shouting down the opponents and scaring them off - most people wouldn't care enough to resist an organized clique on some semi-obscure project.

If it uses some kind of "expert panel", it can be attacked by activists, demanding to eject people who hold controversial opinions, or make their life hard until they leave. It can also be selected to be biased from the get go - many academic disciplines and professions have a lot of biases. If in some fields majority of experts hold some opinions, they would also tend to select for agreement with them, thus enforcing the groupthink and completely denying representation to alternative opinion.

Any centralized system would be vulnerable to this. Any single "source of truth" can be subverted.

as long as you don't copy paste code

That's the million dollar question: how do you know whether a classmate is being earnest or just copying you? Especially in highly competitive environments, cheaters are extremely adept at leveraging your work without substantially contributing anything back.

The way it works in law school is that students (at least the social ones) break up into study groups early on. They may or may not be friends outside the study group. The key is that the study groups span multiple classes, and sometimes last the entire three years. In other words, it's an iterated game that discourages cheating from the outset. Being ostracized from a group is a huge liability, especially if you're a cheater.

This strategy doesn't work as well in undergraduate programs. There's too much churn and variability (in the student population, in their intelligence, in the number of subject classes, in the number of professors teaching the same subject), which means it's easier for cheaters to come and go without having to suffer repercussions.

I'm not a collaborator. To learn (and retain) I need to work through things alone, especially on difficult problems. Talking with other people about a problem is usually a distraction, and almost guarantees I won't internalize and retain the material. The above descriptions of group dynamics is my outsider's perspective.
This reminds me of the famous Huey Long quote:

"One of these days the people of Louisiana are going to get good government - and they aren't going to like it."

If there ever is a 'paper' that publishes the full unvarnished un-redacted truth about everything, it will have very many enemies, some of them very powerful.

Many of the 1950s small VTOL craft ended up in the Hiller Museum in San Carlos, CA. Stop by there and see the Hiller Flying Platform, the Rotorcycle, and the VXT-8 Coleopter. All flew successfully. None could fly very far.

Lilium's VTOL, which takes off vertically and then transitions to aircraft mode, is a variation on an old idea, the convertiplane. It's a compelling idea, because winged aircraft are far more efficient than VTOL craft. It's hard to make it work well. The idea was tried twice in the 1950s, and prototypes were flown, but never worked very well. The V-22 Osprey is the only successful convertiplane, and it's not considered a big success.
I would be more careful with the title. There was a guy sentenced for similar article in Czech republic.
"Subjectively, we observed that, by looking at a particular color through both filters simultaneously (e.g. filter 1 over the left eye, filter 2 over the right), a “meta-color” is observed, which appears to be different from the original perceived color and both individual filtered perceived colors. This meta-color is a manifestation of the “extra” effective cone type created by the pair of filters, and demonstrates the increased information relayed to the visual system resulting from the partitioning of the S cone."
It is. If there are two versions, it's possible (it even "adds value") to fix bugs in one version and not the other. If there is only one, you can't do that. Simple as that.

The point is not eliminating bias in each message. The point is adequately representing what's going on and providing tools for people to make informed decision. If some information source hides parts of information and distorts another parts of information, this goes contrary to that goal.

> We've already solved this problem: Professionalism

You say it as if it explains something. But it doesn't - what's "professionalism"? There are a lot of people that are literally paid millions to deliver news, and if you're interested in news (and not, for example, in making fun of the person you disagree with or reinforcing your preconceived notions about people disagreeing with you being evil and stupid) they are doing a spectacularly crappy job. Are they "professionals"? And if not, where does one gets them? Are people that fake scientific data "professionals" (happens all the time)? Are people that make grand political claims based on shoddy research or no research at all "professionals" or not? Where does one get that "quality culture" which would eliminate those common occurrences?

This is an important story because, in spite of the fact that our techno-industry has been at this for a long time now (decades), we still get companies that think its okay to violate fundamental human rights in the pursuit of profit - and that is why this story is so relevant to the HN crowd.

It doesn't matter that Uber did this. Microsoft, Sun, and countless other companies have gotten into trouble for this sort of behaviour in the past. This story is not about Uber.

This story is about how poorly the tech industry regards the legislative machinery that gives us all the right to have free access to computers, to do what we like with them, without restriction - and the liabilities of that freedom, when played in a market full of unscrupulous individuals with far, far too much power.
Uber is a once in a lifetime multi-billion dollar company. It's not interesting if it makes even more money (or IPOs or whatnot); it's interesting if it fails. Also - the press goes through cycles of building things up and then finds way to tear it down. Pumping the view counts along the way.
For me a buddy system works well. Agreeing to meet a friend at a certain time at the gym and calling one another when starting out for the gym works wonders for me on days when I'd rather do something else.

Google's load balancers are global - as in they will route requests to the nearest region to the user without you having to run separate load balancers in each with dns routing.

The backend services hooked up to the load balancer can have healthchecks and capacity limits based on req/sec or CPU usage, so a region that's close by but overloaded will be skipped for a further region that has available capacity.

On one side of my family retirement for my grandparents meant long days vegetating in front of the television with little dogs to pet. Church on Sundays were really their only time out. This brought dementia by age 80 and a host of other issues and they are on their way out.

the people who decided to take calories off the market, increase their price, and sell them back to consumers are effectively driving up the cost of calories.

if you let rich people create a calorie cartel, they will.

let me repeat that: if you let them, rich people will literally create a calorie cartel and starve you to death.

let me repeat that: rich people are willing to FORCE you to live in fear and trade their dead trees with ink blots for calories that you NEED TO LIVE.

they will go all the way to genocide.

look at the great famine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)

rich people went all the way to genocide.

people who had all the wealth of the world demanded starvation and death from the most miserable people on planet earth.

we are talking about evil people who are using starvation as a siege weapons against innocent civilians.

this is literally french revolution level evil.

this is the kind of evil decent human beings purge from the earth because they are sick of seeing utter filth.

Do you really need to load a ~60kb React/Redux runtime just to display a content site?

I get that you're doing server-side rendering to mitigate the performance costs. I just don't get why any of these technologies were necessary to begin with. I mean, 120 dependencies just to display a blog!

I am reminded of the old joke about Java developers:

> lately the language has been sort of growing some of the features it previously rejected, although they pretty are much bolted on. Many people have even forgotten that there is a whole world full of people who don't get around in powered wheelchairs and don't need machines to help them chew, and argue passionately about how much they love their Chewing Completion and Integrated Mobility Environments and how easy it is to sort of slowly shamble up stairs on these prosthetic legs (which sounds impressive after you've spent five years in a wheelchair), endlessly haranguing those who choose to run on their own two feet about what they are missing by not getting their legs chopped off.

Investing in an abstraction as heavy as React-Redux and then spending hours configuring server-side rendering, webpack dev middleware, code splitting and who knows what all to emulate the behaviour of vanilla web technologies​ - you're basically swapping healthy feet for sophisticated prostheses.

> Lately, I observed that consumers are no longer loyal to one single brand.

Funny enough, I was thinking about this today as well.

In my opinion, there are many different factors at work here:

- Consumers in (most) modern markets have an abundance of choice, freeing them to choose what most fits their needs and not what a corporation dictates that segment of their life should be.

- Capitalism sometimes bites back, speaking specifically on this one about banks. Many people I've spoken with (obviously take this with a grain of salt) spoke about how pre-'09 many, many people were pretty loyal to their bank, even if it was one of the mega-banks. Now that customers see that companies are no longer loyal to them, why be loyal in return?

- The Internet has made consumer research incredibly efficient. No longer do you have to drive to the Nike store to see something, go drive to the Adidas store to check out its competition, and then drive back to buy or just stick to one store. Now anyone can go on Amazon (or whatever site), read reviews, and pick whatever fits their needs/style.

Basically I have quite a bit of unorganized, and probably uninformed, thoughts about this, and would love to hear others as well.

In school, you're always told to show your work. I'm sure a lot of us here tended to be among the smartest in your class, at least before university, and we often thought having to show our work was silly. That's why a lot of us get tripped up when it comes to the type of debugging the author is talking about (it certainly still happens to me sometimes).

Showing our work reminds us that solving problems is an iterative work, and when we get the wrong answer, it lets us (with or without the help of the teacher) step through and figure out what we did wrong. For teachers and professors, it probably becomes second nature, and maybe they forget who explained this to them, or when they realized it themselves.

Even once we're out of school, I think we need to remind ourselves that this is the same reason we don't write a 1000 line function, rather we break it up into smaller parts, each designed to solve a specific part of the overall problem.

Now, what I really wish we had had in university was a CS course on using gdb and/or WinDbg - not just to understand how to analyze a core/dump file or step through running code, but also to help drill it into our head what compilers do to our code, and how processors really work. --It's amazing how often I have to remind people that debuggers will often lie to you, and you often have to look into the registers for the real data!
