The big problems are safety and noise. If "flying cars" operated in large numbers in urban and suburban environments are going to become a thing, both need to be solved.

Best guess, we can solve the safety issue. With enough on-board safety systems, pilot training, appropriate rules of the road, and mandatory transponders, we could make things safe enough. But that still leaves noise. What conceivable propeller or turbine system could lift a thousand pounds while being as quiet as a modern car? Probably none of them.
Ask HN: Why doesn't Google own the weather?
Weather visualization and forecasting seems right in Google's wheelhouse. Nearly infinite data to train on, a perfect platform for visualizing the data (google earth), etc. Is there just no upside for them?
That's actually explained in the video. Wales says that news media don't have the resources to produce high-quality output because the competition for clicks is so fierce. WikiTribune addresses this in two ways: First, they don't participate in said competition for clicks because they won't run on ads but donations. In other words, their customer is the reader who has an interest in quality. Second, they recruit citizen journalists who can help produce articles that a traditional news business would not be able to afford. Just paraphrasing. Watch the video.
Front is also used by the left - Front Popular - and I think they were trying to play with that back when they named the party. It doesn't mean "war" in this context, it simply means a common side to face something else. It is frequently used when two or more parties join together temporarily.

Radical relates to root, not extremism. Extremist might be the opposite of radical, depending on the context.

There's nothing in your list that suggests extremist positions.

Far-right has a general negative connotation, so it is not the same than saying Clinton is left of Trump.

Le Pen is right of most in some areas, left of most in others. THAT is the description no one would complain about.
To scale it probably needs to provide $ incentives, since power affiliates would rack up thousands of free months which they could never use.
My problem with exercise is simply time. There are a million things I want to do and with a 10-7 work shift, I just can't do much.

Staying 30 minutes longer happens easily so it's 7:30. Commuting to the gym would take another 20-30. 1h in the gym and it's 9 (or later). Commuting an hour home and it's 10. Go to supermarket, maybe cook something up and it could easily be 11 already. This leaves 1-2h max to do anything else, given I am not dead from the gym. Now spinning up the brain to focus on something creative also needs a bit of time.

Morning gym is hard as well. All gyms around my home open from 9:30/10:00 which is when I have to be on the way to the office already.

So the time slots that are free are very competitive. Pick one: Do I go to the gym? Do I watch a movie with the gf? Do I program? Do I learn the next grammar chapter? Do I work on other hobbies that I've been putting off too long? Do I meet friends and catch up on social life?

To be honest, this 'problem' makes me currently think of switching into a part time job, just so I have more time for the things I actually care about. (Part time remote for optimum happiness but that might be impossible to come by)

There were also "Israelis" who think Isreal's is an abomination because it is a Jewish state in existence without the Messiah. What is the existence of a documentary supposed to prove other than that in any group of people, there is a variety of opinion? The bias comes in how you cite, weight, and construe elements of this plurality. Not whether they exist.
A CDN might be fine for public, static content, or certain kinds of APIs, but a CDN does nothing for most "transactional" APIs.

If you are trying to host a multi-region deployed API, and your customers are evaluating your infrastructure against NIST and other security guidelines and recommendations, a TLS proxy is considered a security problem (go back a few months to CloudFlare's massive data exposure). You want your TLS terminated directly at your own service hosts.

In that situation you want an SNI aware LB that simply does host-based routing. You cannot achieve this today with GCPs HTTP(s) LB. Which is a pain, because it's otherwise awesome sauce.
I would go one step further and say referral promotion/advantage is one of the easiest and most common scalable "cheap marketing" tool. My bank does it, my dropbox does it, my hosting company does it, even the place where I buy my jeans does it.

Not every nation has opportunity to do so, but many do, and they tend to follow it. There's nothing special about Germany here.
The U.S. gave substantial help to everyone in Europe, not just Germans. The Soviet occupation zone, as well as Finland and Yugoslavia, would have none of it, because U.S.S.R. was hostile to it.

The largest recipients of Marshall Plan aid were the U.K. (26 %) and France (18 %), with West Germany third at 11 % of total aid amount in this plan. So claiming that financial help went to Germany instead of Germany's victims is, in my opinion, disingenuous.

There were also other American aid programs besides the Marshall Plan.

Not necessarily. The servers can communicate between themselves so it doesn't matter which server the clients connects to. On GCP there's PubSub [1]. Of course this is much slower than shuffling bytes in memory in the same process. It also moves some complexity from service-discovery and into the backed architecture.

Yes, that is an issue I have to look into.
> But thats the key difference - wikipedia is not the news, and the news is not an encyclopedia.

To go one step further: Wherever Wikipedia actually does approach the vicinity of "news" (i.e. articles about current events/politics/persons etc.), it has been shown time and again to be prone to manipulation just like your scenarios for wikitribune, and that it actually doesn't work very well in this area.
I certainly learned about other groups when I was taught about the Holocaust in high school. Other groups are mentioned in the Holicaust museum in Washington DC. I've seen movies about other persecuted groups & read books about them as well.

Is it possible you are just not well versed on the subject?

Further, any discussion on the topic requires special treatment of the Jewish holocaust because of its scope and how central it is to the politics of Naziism.
The edit to my previous post addresses your comment.

More generally, the possibility of punishment does little to diminish violence, because people who perform it generally expect not to get caught.
Best us to work it into your day like run at lunch and eat at your desk after. Or get off a train stop early and walk. Also I keep a dumbell under my home desk (not confident enough to do this at open plan work office) so if on the phone or having a YouTube moment type thing I do a few exercises.
Yes and no, you just need to offer credits. The point is not about re-sellers (that don't have the need to spend what they earn on your service), for those you need $, it's about referral, and if you're selling FOOs, you're probably fine selling a FOO with a 15% discount if it also guarantees you another FOO bought at full price, or even if both FOO are at discount.

People accumulating so much credit to the point that they can't spend it is a non issue in that referral (like Dropbox) is meant to be scaling wide, for scaling tall you need a re-sellers system (like say what Amazon or OVH are offering).
Ads are good actually to acquire your first 100 users.
But not on common platforms (Google Ads, Youtube, Facebook). You can find with websites with high traffic and ask them to put up your ad messages.
I watched it, I actually agree with it. The presenter argues that remembering 6 million Jews murdered by the Third Reich should really be only a part of remembering the 11 million humans (including homosexuals, resistance fighters, Romany etc) murdered by the same group of people. This shouldn't take anything away from the remembrance of the 6 million, but should include the remembrance of the remaining 5 million.

His main point is that human life is equal no matter what race or religion you are.

The one point he didn't touch on was the fact that many Germans (who were probably just trying to survive in the midst of a horrendous war) also lost their lives.

I think the point of the video is that you shouldn't single out one group of victims, but instead realise that WW2 (and indeed all wars) was a tragic, disgusting affair that caused huge losses for all sides involved.

It shouldn't be glorified, it shouldn't be used as any one group's foundation for revenge or compensation, it should (ideally) be used as a point of history that illustrated that wars are the most terrible thing that we can inflict on ourselves as a single species, and that however "correct" or "moral" the justification seems at the time, the reality is one of massive negative consequence for all involved, as well as generations to come.

This isn't saying that nothing should have been done to combat Hitler's campaign, but that the reality of war means that almost everyone involved becomes a victim, and that all victims should be remembered equally.

How did you like the new episode of Silicon Valley?
As I was watching the new episode of Silicon Valley (Season 4 Episode 1) I noticed that they took a very big turn in the show and some would say "ruined" it. What do you guys think?

Notice: I have noticed that most people who have watched it either thing it was really good or really bad...
I've had the worst coffee this world has to offer. I got it at a truck stop somewhere off Interstate 40 in east Tennessee. Tasted like bile and acid, went through me like a dose of salts, and left desolation and sorrow in its wake. Had me in the bushes off the side of the road for the better part of an hour, and gave me a whole new respect for long-haul truckers - either they have the iron constitution to drink that shit and not mind it, or they keep in close enough touch that they've all warned each other off it. Either way, I'm impressed.

Keurigs do a perfectly fine job by comparison.
Personally, I have no idea.

It's a chat client with channels/rooms/whatever. You can't back it up, nor easily export it, you can't organize it like email and thus it's not really clear to me what the advantages are.

I do have to say that I receive about 3 work-related emails per day. So I'm not particularly desparate to look for an email alternative.
Totally agreed. His rants are usually fairly superficial as well, and he tends to get a lot wrong. It's fine to get stuff wrong, and it's fine to rant, but doing both at the same time is tacky.

I think it's because he had a lot of success with his early rants, which were generally pretty on-point. As time went on they get more and more salty and inaccurate as he ran out of good ideas.

TheSignalPath is a great EE channel as well.

From 30-40 years, exercise is a priority. After that age is THE priority. It is up to you what you want to put your time into but I strongly encourage simplifying exercise by removing commute from it.
I never really understood going 'somewhere' to do exercise.
Do a small run of half an hour around your office, in a nearby park for example.
Nice idea! Definitely add a list of languages on the home page. Also try to remove the sign up. I'm actually pretty intrigued obviously by the service, but not sufficiently to sign up (hence I haven't signed up!). I'd add a sign up later in the process i.e. after someone listens to a few songs then ask for a sign up to save progress and you'll probably get the user then.
She didn't doubt any of that. That is just false.

She was asked whether "France" was "responsible" for said round up. She said she thought not.

The reason being that France was under occupation and shouldn't therefore be considered an independent country.

In other words, the real France was represented by de Gaulle in exile in London and the Resistance, rather than Pétain in Vichy and the occupation-sanctioned government - which was who did the rounding up.

So, she didn't doubt the French "fascist" government rounded up Jews. She said that precisely because the "fascist" government was not legitimate, France as a country ought not to be considered responsible for that government's actions.
Got it. I actually created a pipecourse on my startup thinking it will be a way to show users one of the usecases of the platform.But i get your point.Thank you.
As far as I know it doesn't.

I should have been more clear: GCP's Anycast, no-warming-need LB is way cooler than AWS traditional, single-region with totally unreliable DNS "routing" on top (because you always want to rely on client DNS TTLs to handle a service cutover...).

The problem is, if you can't use a TLS proxy for security reasons, then you can't use the HTTP(s) LB, which will make you less happy than if you could use it.

I mean, I'm all for copyright reform but let's not pretend there's a real civil disobedience movement at work wrt software piracy. It's a post-hoc justification at best.
I studied German and Japanese and it was very interesting indeed. However, what I was responding to is the common misnomer that language studies create cognitive improvements as my high school advisor and the above poster alluded to.

Very few people work on AI. ML is not the same as AI. I am yet to see a computer do a single intelligent thing. I am actually rather bothered by this marketing ploy among CS professionals.

To answer your question though, I feel like (and this is a speculation on my part) that most ML researchers have specialization in 1 field yet the vast majority of problems require some sort of deep understanding of multiple fields at once.

This is pretty much completely untrue. Anecdata, but I thought if I exercised like crazy I could eat terribly and be fine. I was wrong, and remained massively obese. When I started actually tracking my intake and eating healthier I lost massive amounts of weight, without any change in the exercise routine.

It's been 10 years and I still have to watch my calories like a hawk if I want to stay below obese (I've quit trying for not being overweight, though that would be nice). I swim 1250 meters a day. Previously I've cycled 24 miles a day, or run 30-45 minutes a day, depending on what worked best with my work/home situation.

Marginal tax rate in the US has fallen like a rock since Reagan got into government. The exact same time class mobility went down as well. If you look at the statistics class mobility is highest in high taxed Nordic countries. Low tax anglo-saxon countries are usually pretty bad at this. The UK follows much of the same ideology as the US and also has among the lowest mobility in Europe.

It is nothing weird about this really. Higher taxed countries are able to offer better public education and health care which gives the lesser of actually stand a chance of making it.

In the US the system is especially rigged. There is no free school choice, so you are forced to go to the public school in your shitty neighborhood if you are poor, while the rich through never ending donations enjoy schools with abundant resources. And even if the schools were good you would be screwed before you even get in, because the US does not offer quality child care to poor people. Research shows the years before school is the most important for future development.

I live in a poorer area of Oslo, but I could if I wanted to send my kids to the schools in the richest part of town without any extra cost to me. But it isn't really important as school quality is pretty even, through proper public funding rather than relying on private donations. Also we get subsidized child care of a quality that typically only upper middle class buy in the US.

If you don't even the playing field in a persons early years you are not going to see much social mobility.
You seem determined to focus on outliers rather than averages. There are lots of examples of professional news gathering and reporting organisations around the world that are trusted and reliable sources of information. A key part of this professionalism is that they have robust internal processes for self-criticism.

You seem to have an agenda to try and prove that journalism as a vocation is fundamentally broken, and this leads you to make hyperbolic statements and clutch at strawmen.

Take a look a little deeper and you'll see that journalism is a profession with ethical standards and is actually pretty robust and, perhaps, even honourable - it's the funding and business models that are the issue, but the actual practice is quite sound.
As well as loss of substantial amount of German property to Soviet Union and its satellites. In effect, Poland was shifted left on the map by 200 km or so, and the space and property claimed by U.S.S.R.

Also, lots of industrial capacity of East Germany was moved to U.S.S.R. For instance, my dad's first car was a Moskvich 401, which was effectively the same as the pre-war Opel Kadett K38 whose plans and tooling were transferred to a plant in Moscow.
