> A lot of that is not a service provided by Google. They simply scrap data others have created and insert their ads. Its a sophisticated form of rent seeking. If you tried to do that with THEIR services they'd shut you down ASAP - e.g. If you ran a meta search engine which collected search results from all other search engines, google will immediately block your access once you got popular.

You are aware that the opposite applies too, right? That whoever doesn't want Google scrapping results can block their crawlers?

No, you don't, you have mistaken Google for something other than a private company. Only you've made that mistake arbitrarily, as evidenced...

> I'm totally for this fine, and hope that Google mends their ways. They do have a good search product that I enjoy using but promoting their unsuccessful services by integrating it with a successful search product is wrong and harms competition. I want the web to stay open, and Google's promotion of their closed platforms is troublesome. Unfortunately, Google spends a lot on lobbying and cozying up with the government, so I doubt we will see such enforcement in the US.

... Here. You are aware that Google search itself is closed, right? You either aren't or your grandstanding regarding the "open web" is completely empty words.

Of all the arguments in favor of this ruling I've read, this one is by far the weirdest.
Real estate prices (buying) in the city range from $400 to $1000 a sq ft. That's probably a better estimate, as you'd have to create new spaces. Taking the average of that range, you get $700 * 100 * 7500 = $525M.

I'm all for just setting the more salvageable homeless up in a 900 sq ft condo, and subsidizing it for them (i.e. free), then let them sell it in 3+ years. They can pay back the subsidies, and take the equity and move elsewhere. There would be other requirements as well (attending substance abuse programs, staying out of jail, etc)

What are the alternatives once an event occurs and Google/Microsoft/Redhat/?? claim it was an accident outside of their control (possibly due to negligence)? Yes, outside experts will be investigating to the best of their ability and there will be a statement about what measures have been put in place to mitigate the issue in the future. But what else would happen?
Abstracts often are misleading.

They're useful to decide whether you should read this paper or another one, but they're often not useful to get a summary of what exactly the paper actually achieves. Often the abstract will imply a more interesting result by leaving out key aspects and limitations (which are detailed in the paper and its conclusions) that significantly change the impact of the paper, the abstract often is more like an advertisement for the paper than an effective summary. I mean, it may be, but if I'd read just the abstract and go away thinking, "oh, so now there's a way to do X", I'd often be wrong.
>The kind of results that as a user I want to see. Will that be disallowed to? If so, this will make Google Search a significantly worse product.

From the article the issue is not that Google services appear in the search results, rather it is that they artificially make their own results appear first without regards to normal search algorithms.

"Google has abused this market dominance by giving its own comparison shopping service an illegal advantage. It gave prominent placement in its search results only to its own comparison shopping service, whilst demoting rival services."
>> On one hand I'm not convinced that ARM chips outperform Intel.

What does "Intel" even mean? Intel offers such a wide array of chips, from bad to great.

If we're talking about the low end of laptops on sale today, then we're probably talking about the Atom Z, Celeron/Pentium N, and maybe CoreM. And those chips are "meh" at best, and are a pretty low performance bar to meet.

>> At the end of the day you get a performance hit, without a reason that can easily be explained to a user.

Why does it need to be explained to a user? Is the average user even going to understand or care that there's a performance hit? They're just going to know that their computer is slow or fast. And that performance expectation is usually mapped to the price of the machine they bought.
As insane as this number is, and it really is an incredible achievement, I'm left feeling Facebook hasn't delivered much real net positive value to the world just yet.

Politics are in disarray. More people are "connected" online but more people than ever feel isolated in some way and mental health issues are on the rise. Highlight reels of your friends living a seemingly amazing life leave people feeling like they've underperformed. Shoddy advertising practices and questionable news are splattered around the platform. Obviously as a communication platform it works, but so what? There are a million ways to stay in touch with people.

I applaud Facebook, and Mark, for what they have achieved in terms of raw numbers and the ubiquity of the platform. But what's the point of having 2 billion users if ultimately this platform doesn't genuinely improve society for the better as a result?

> Often, they promise it only takes 15-30 minutes for an entire meal, but apparently I'm not a professional chef who can wash vegetables, dice them, prepare marinades, chop garlic, and do all of this in just a few minutes. I end up usually spending between 60-90 minutes just to cook a recipe, which is way too much labor for a meal that is already priced about the same as a restaurant meal.

I think this is one place where the focus in lifestyle magazines and meal startups on quick and easy meals has created unrealistic expectations. As you say, unless you have the skills of a professional chef, cooking pretty much anything in 15-30 minutes is unrealistic. More realistically, you would expect cooking from scratch to take 45-60 minutes.

To some extent I feel like people's frustration over the experience comes from under-appreciation of how much time cooking takes. Unless your ingredients come pre-chopped and pre-mixed, one hour from fresh ingredients is normal! Just like the adage "better, faster, cheaper, pick two," cooking has a corresponding dilemma: "quick, easy, delicious, pick two".
Terra's Kitchen also claims to have pre-chopped etc. ingredients though I have no personal experience with them.

As I've said elsewhere, I'm not really the customer for these services. But I have to believe that, if I were to use them regularly, it would be because I wanted to put a meal on the table quickly on a weekday without a lot of effort or thought. Which implies eliminating as much prep time as possible.

> Historically, it meant making it someone else's problem (1-way ticket to SF) which I agree is indeed problematic

No, even local relocation (like forcing people into shelters for services) has been problematic historically.

> Many of these people need long term mental healthcare, and is the main reason they are homeless.

Yes, a minority do, and institutionalization (which, generally, might as well be outside of SF) may help a fraction of that minority.

Forced dislocation would also probably aggravate mental health problems for some others in (and out) of that that minority.

> Our current system is not well suited at helping people with mental disorders.

Sure, but “ship people elsewhere”, even if the responsibility doesn't shift, isn't a solution to that.
People in their mid thirties don't want to work at startup lottery anymore. And not many south bay startups are offering something materially different than working at google.

Shutting the mine could eliminate more than seven thousand jobs, in a county of thirty-seven thousand people. “Greene County will become a ghost town,” the neighbor wrote.

Isn't that the normal fate of towns built around resource extraction after the resource is economically exhausted? The American West is littered with ghost town remnants around depleted mines. It doesn't make much more sense to stay in a coal mining town in Someplace, Appalachia after the coal is gone than to stay in a silver mining town in Someplace, Colorado after the silver is gone.

I saw similar grievances from dying logging towns when I was growing up in the Pacific Northwest. The flashpoint was government action to protect the remnants of old growth forest that the endangered Spotted Owl lived in. The underlying problem was that loggers were exploiting old growth forest faster than it could regenerate. Deregulation wasn't going to make their way of life sustainable. You can't extract what isn't there any more.

If the residents of these coal-centered towns can find a way to reinvent the local economy to not depend on declining mines, that's great. I wish them luck with that. But most probably won't. We need to prepare to help people transition to other regions and other opportunities when the mines are no longer making money and the towns around them no longer prosper.
Hey! I wrote this library[0] as a part of Google Summer of Code 2017 @ Physical Web organization. I found no easy way of integrating (reading & writing URLs) my browsed-based app[1] with Eddyson. While there are official libraries for both iOS and Android, I found none for Eddyson.

So I thought this could be an opportunity to dig into the Physical Web specifications[2], to build something easy to use for us (web developers <3) since Web Bluetooth is getting more and more popular.

Looking forward to your feedback! =D

I 100% disagree with you. If you just want food, you can go with the cooked meal delivery (freshly, I think?) - but those are basically just fancy microwave dinners.

I love to cook, and I hate both deciding what to cook, and then going and getting all the stuff to make whatever I (finally) decide to make.

Meal boxes are the best of both worlds. Someone else decides what I'll be eating, and does all the shopping, and I get to do the cooking. I can't imagine life without it anymore.
Your benchmark doesn't specify which implementation of Awk you're testing, and which version of it.

Your code is verbose: length($0) shortens to just length:

awk 'length > max { max = length } END { print max }'

All I'm saying is that it is a hard problem to solve. Our previous solution was full time wives. This had its good points and bad points. We do not appear to have found The Solution since moving away from that earlier model for the most part.

In my experience, when people are reading "subtext" into my comments, they are typically projecting something that is simply not there at all. I do my best to be a straight shooter. I am not big on implying anything. The internet is not a good environment for trying to imply things. It lacks voice tone, context, facial expression etc and it puts people in contact from around the globe who come from very different cultures even when they are both, say, upper class for their country. It is just a terrible place in which to try to be subtle.
It makes them build their lives around the assumption that only activities that everyone else seems to be doing, are safe to do.

You could say that in more (relatively) free societies it is also this way. But no. In China the default position is "everything is forbidden unless explicitly permitted" whereas in the US for example this is flipped to the near opposite position, "everything is permitted unless it involves doing something forbidden."
>compared to the merely large pile you'd need to run a credible regional alternative to google search for some segment of the population

Personally I don't mind it. I'm not invested whatsoever in involving human contact in getting my food; I don't mind talking to people to get my food or having to interact with a waiter or cashier, but I wouldn't care if I could order on a kiosk or do checkout-by-RFID.

People probably decried the automation of textile manufacturing, that clothing was losing its personal touch. Now we don't seem to have a problem with it. I'm sure food will go a similar route.

Although I do agree that removing the human element in retail/food will be weird at first, I'm sure we'll get used to it. It's more efficient, so I think it's better.

Thanks.

For us, and I think we were probably a bit better cooks than is normal, hamburgers would count as a lazy meal, assuming you mean cooking something like [1] from the fresh meat section.

Hot dogs, eggs alone, or ramen -- no; this is food for when you've arrived home alone drunk at 4:30. Or woken up hungover.

Roast chicken or steak is fine, so long as there's also some vegetables and some kind of sauce.

Average meals would be things like curries or stir-fries made with a pre-prepared sauce or spice mix, chicken/turkey fricassees, risottos, or casseroles. I think we discovered fairly quickly that £3 tetra pak wine improved most dishes, so long as one didn't drink it.

The Blue Apron recipes have fancier ingredients than we would have bought when we were 18-22, and a little more effort in the sauces. Looking at things like [2] and [3], the skill required was well within what we could make, although we'd probably use dried herbs, cheaper vegetables (canned sweetcorn, normal size tomatoes), and normal meat rather than anything special.

In fact, the "Fresh Basil Fettuccine" is almost exactly like our "use up what's left in the fridge" meal.

Why do you shoot down attempts instead of letting them try? Is there any downside of trying and get rejected? Judging by the comments it sounds like you risk shooting down attempts that may actually succeed.
Honestly I'm just happy at the renewed interest in these things.
> Carpentry is far different than programming. But even so, and equivalent question I would ask a carpenter I wanted to hire would be, "How much hardwood flooring would I need to cover the rooms in my house?" If they answer, "I dunno" and then stare at me blankly, I'm certainly not going to hire them.

It would only be valid not to hire them if they have already taken measurements and noted them down. If they can't do the calculation to convert their measurements to square footage and then to linear feet of board (with margins to allow for different board widths) - that'd be something different.

Even there I would argue one could still say "I don't know", simply because you haven't specified how you want the flooring oriented per room/area (and if it goes on the bias, it gets tricky quick), or if there is any kind of special patterns or inlays you want, etc.

Until you have the full specification at hand, you can't really give more than a ballpark answer, which in the case of flooring calcs could be wildly off (agile doesn't really work for real-world engineering like it can for software).
I'm surprised how often someone's told me something incomprehensible, but then years later I realize what they meant.
Or, you know, the intent and nature of most advertising is completely orthogonal to the circumstances and conditions of them appearing, the point stands, and you're not even nearing actually addressing it, just bumping over your own straw man.

And when I google for "an item", like "medium sized dog", for whatever reason that means I already...well, what? Want a dog? Maybe, likely not. Want whatever that particular ad is trying to peddle me with whatever shoddy means and rhetoric, because it might have to do with dogs, or merely claim it does? Nope.

Ask HN: Has Uber CS gotten a lot worse?
Uber CS used to be responsive and helpful.

Nowadays, responses to customer service tickets have been copy and paste boilerplate that only remotely address the issue.

i.e. Today I contested a wait fee, and immediately got a boilerplate "what is a wait fee - a wait fee is ______" response, with the ticket being automarked as resolved. Responding to that elicits further boilerplate.

Cooking tends to be serial per-dish, with substantial amounts of mandatory waiting. A lot of cooking speed comes from experience and being able to intuitively schedule work for maximum throughput. After years of cooking, I can now interleave execution on 2-3 dishes of moderate complexity at a time, but that's only after years of practice.
The problem--and this is an issue with slow cookers as well--is that dump a bunch of stuff in and walk away doesn't work all that well for most recipes. Some browning etc. does a lot to develop flavors.

i'm saying that headline says too little. The authors of the paper strongly suggest that there is a causative effect in the paper, and I think its very reasonable this is reflected in the title of the headline.
