You're being naive. Pervasive LPR and facial recognition technology has been publicly acknowledged and broadly deployed on highways and chokepoints like bridges.

Google claims that the success of Ebay and Amazon prove that they haven't been anti-competitive, right?

But I think Google just couldn't help itself.

How could you not?

You have the consensus, world dominating search engine, and you just have to slightly tweak it to every so slightly support your shopping platform.

It just seems way too easy to do.

One small adjustment means $4 billion more next year, I mean, how could you not do it?

As an anecdote, I have never trusted Google's product results in the top bar. It just all seemed to easy to fudge the results to me.

Ask HN: How to manage container base images?
We are a growing company with most of our infrastructure based on containers. Right now each dev group manages its own base images (frameworks and etc.) but in near future it looks like be a management nightmare. It feels that there must be some centralized solution to manage all the updates, vulnerabilities monitoring and etc. as we are less interested in our devs doing this work and more concentrate on their primary responsibilities.

We are event thinking to outsource to 3rd party company which will do this maintenance and support for us.

Okay, but what about when Google actively demotes you, so its products do even better? Are you okay with that, too, because "it's their website", or do you expect more from a "search engine company"?

> Google has demoted rival comparison shopping services in its search results: rival comparison shopping services appear in Google's search results on the basis of Google's generic search algorithms. Google has included a number of criteria in these algorithms, as a result of which rival comparison shopping services are demoted. Evidence shows that even the most highly ranked rival service appears on average only on page four of Google's search results, and others appear even further down. Google's own comparison shopping service is not subject to Google's generic search algorithms, including such demotions.

> As a result, Google's comparison shopping service is much more visible to consumers in Google's search results, whilst rival comparison shopping services are much less visible.

Your comment reads like you haven't even read the EC press release. I suggest you do that first.
I don't think Go works with WASM, because it uses a GC.
I don't think "safety" was the primary objective on the navy boat, but even if it had been, an accident with this damage (starboard deckhouse of navy, port bow of cargo) when both boats are going similar speeds means that the navy boat was the "give-way" yet stupidly crossed the "stand-on". There are red and green nav lights installed on every motorized boat ever manufactured, to help idiots not make that mistake. The assumption that the speeds are the same makes this incident entirely the navy's fault.
As of yet, nobody has used reduce(). If they did, and especially if they followed it with a coherent explanation of what reduce does & how it worked (and convinced me they've not memorized reduce for a singular purpose, but understand it well enough to apply it generally), I'd definitely accept it.

If they can also write, or at least quickly approximate, the for-loop solution too, then I'd say I've gotten an excellent signal: not only can the candidate write a for loop, but he or she might also have some experience with a functional paradigm from somewhere.
Why Men Lie to Women
This is the age old question I get asked by my female clients and students alike. I truly believe women already know the answer deep down. Okay, maybe it’s not that deep down, more like it’s just below the surface. It hurts like hell, though many women have a difficult time transitioning from getting out of their own way emotionally.

Now, you are reading this, stating one of two things, either: 1) Greg, you’re an a-hole, or 2) That’s right Greg, tell it!  Which side of that fence you stand on depends on perhaps which gender you are; and also how much confidence you hold. Yes, confidence and I’ll get into that shortly.

For starters, men need to gain the balls to be honest, no matter what! Yes, no matter what our ladies reactions may spew, we need to stay strong, dig deep and be honest! Women, you need to get a grip and accept honesty. “What the hell are you saying Greg; I can accept honesty!” I can almost feel the tension build. Your eyes and mouth begin to snarl as you get ready to attack back verbally.

Yes, the biggest reason, or one of the main reason men lie to you is they cannot handle your defensive maneuvers. That’s right, the way you get defensive, go for the tit for tat, start yelling and screaming at the one thing you crave from men: total honesty.
I know not all women get overly defensive with their man being honest, thus can take that in stride. Though often many women will lurch out, start bashing and ripping their man apart, for being honest. So, guess what ladies? Men lie to avoid these situations. Again, I am not condoning these actions by men! I’m trying to help you and your lover to be honest with one another; completely honest, even if it hurts like hell!

The answer is really simple -- get rid of the minimum wage entirely, let the free market determine how much someone should pay and increase the earned income tax credit amount and eligibility and make it easier for employers to distribute the credit with their employees paycheck. If that means slightly higher business taxes so be it. But, on the other hand, I'm a strong believer in "trickle up economics". If more poor people have money to spend it should help the economy.

I watched this video called "MIT's Pathway to Fusion Energy (IAP 2017) - Zach Hartwig" which I thought was interesting (and which I submitted here two days ago but went unnoticed as it's the faith of many interesting HN submissions).

There Zach gives a quick overview (well hour long) of the current state of fusion and what its future is going to be. He didn't talk too much about stellarators but I feel I have now a better overall understanding of fusion physics thanks to him.
Equally Luxemburg is another EU location abused by corporations for TAX reasons.

There are other approaches to the guitar that are just as historically significant as the Hendrix-style electric solo. Not long before that, in the folk music boom, the acoustic guitar was seen as the ultimate democratic instrument -- you could toss it in the back of your car, drive to a gig or a party, and start playing immediately (rhythm, harmony, melody, whatever you like).

I don't think it would work if we didn't apply it to everyone equally. I don't care what your job is, or how many "state secrets" it deals with, no exceptions.

I also think it would bring ~10 years of extreme societal collapse as we would realize that most of our social norms make no sense, and those things that we demonize are actually quite common.

Especially with a centralized authority being LO3. I don't get the point of using a blockchain in this case, who is confirming the transacations? What is the incentive for confirmation?

Also if LO3s customers are just buying from the grid, are they paying LO3 on top of what they pay their utility? If so what is the value added by LO3 at all?

An older piece from FoundationDB (archived by odbms.org) that talks about the same issues and comes to many of the same conclusions: http://www.odbms.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/cap-theorem....

I think the overloaded term "availability" has been a big source of confusion for many trying to understand the implications of the CAP theorem at a simple level.

For example, a simple PAXOS implementation is "high availability" (continues working even when individual machines fail) but sacrifices "availability" in the CAP sense.
Speaking of which, the first link in this article about help with statistics goes to a site that misinterprets p-values:

The larger existential question that this should raise for most people is this:

Do you have more power to improve your life over the long term in your role as an individual consumer or an individual voter?

If you take the stance that the government is looking out for your interests better than Google is, then by default you must be arguing one of two things:

1. Your act of voting (or political action) is positively correlated to your desires.

or

2. The (collective) Government knows what's better for you than Google could and is implementing that to your benefit.

I find either argument unsubstantiated.
Ah, frequentist interpretation of results. I don't think it's going to be something people are fond at looking back on.

Wyoming became a state on July 10, 1890. It then had a population of 62,555 and now has 563,626 [1]. The population of the US in 1890 was 62,979,766 and is now 321.4 million.

So with Wyoming's 0.1% population of the US then and its 0.17% now, is that a thinkable process or is it gerrymandering?

I guess we have very different concepts about innovation. First and foremost the term “service” as posed here seems too broad: in the years Google decided to change and extend what the given service is.

Exploiting your existing user base, in order to get traction for your next service, that in your opinion gives an added value, is not what I’d call innovation. If your new product or service is really innovative, then you don’t need this kind of tricks to get traction, users will come to you (because of the added value your new service gives to them).

The early Google was innovative, and won over the other search engines because of that.

If you are not able to get traction without this, then what you call innovation is not innovative, and you’re overestimating your product. For me (and apparently for the eu commission too), the rest is simple propaganda. Some find comfortable to believe it, probably because it’s profitable for them.

I don’t know what is the climate inside Google, but if this is able to significantly chill their “innovation”, then I think that they’re simply waiting for the next big thing in tech.
Why Men Lie to Women Part 2
I see it in so many men’s faces during couple’s sessions, the fear and the “oh shit” on their faces when I ask: “Go ahead, be honest.” They want to run and hide! Not only are they ill prepared for the anger and attacks from their lady; they have a difficult time in hurting their feelings. It took me a long time to be completely honest with women for these very same reasons. Yes, me, Detroit’s Love Guru, Relationship and sex specialist. Go figure right!  I didn’t; want to see the hurt, or feel like I was being ripped apart for the very thing they would ask for.

I got to the point where, I gained confidence in myself and in my own virtues where I’m going to stand up and be honest, no matter what! Now, there is a difference in being mean and an a-hole in your honesty! Do not belittle, ridicule or degrade! I worked hard as hell at being honest, even knowing it would piss a lady off, or hurt her feelings. Again, this was not my intention! My intention was being honest. After all, that’s what women desire.
Ladies, I know it may hurt you intensely to hear a man’s honesty. The truth in what he feels or thinks. I even spoke about emotional maturity in my book: The Relationship Guide: Tools to Ignite Love & Intimacy. It’s not easy and I do totally understand.

There really aren't any codebases the size of Linux or Windows written in those languages. I'm not saying that there couldn't be, but there isn't currently. There is also a great deal of effort being put into making C++ more robust.

When there finally are large codebases written in Rust, it will be apparent that there are still some of the same issues.

I think that I agree with you though that there may not be real cases where GC won't work anymore.
I think is a matter of semantics, not of functionality. A smartphone is a computer per design, but no one is calling it like that.
Scaling the Tech Stack: From YC to 10+ Million Background Checks
Introducing Components for Standard Notes
Of course everybody prefers a browser to be pre-installed, but Microsoft did way more than that. They strictly harmed users to protect their Windows monopoly from the threat of Java apps.

Java applets distributed via the web (executed by Netscape Navigator) had the potential to displace Win32 as a preferred API, thus making Linux and other OS's able to compete with Windows in terms of application offering.

Some OEMs wanted to sell Windows computers with Netscape Navigator preinstalled, because it was way better. Microsoft told them they wouldn't sell them any Windows license at all if they did it, forcing their hand.

Microsoft further preinstalled their own incompatible version of Java, to try and make Java apps non cross-platform. They did the same with Internet Explorer's own incompatible version of web standards, when web apps started to gain popularity.

Windows' monopoly was maintained in part by Microsoft purposefully spending resources in actions that only harmed Windows users (and consumers in general).

Can someone explain why they believe google and other "emerging" power centers saveguard their interests better than the EU?

1. Because it's in their long term best interest to have a customer for life (No political cycle) so they are more incentivized than a politician would be to support the interest of the consumer.

2. They have a more insight into user desires and actions on a day to day basis, meaning they can predict and "nudge" users in directions that are mutually beneficial.
Does everything need to have monetary value? Learning a language can be done for many reasons.

I know a bit of Spanish because I holiday in Spain occasionally, although lately it has become valuable as we are working in LatAm a bit.

I know passable Italian purely because it was enjoyable to learn. It has since been useful on two vacations across Italy.

And finally I'm learning Polish due to my partner being Polish. It's hard as hell compared to Romance languages, but it'll be worth it when I can have a conversation with her parents beyond courtesies.
A big factor of the ranking algorithm is related to the number of comments; as the number increases, the ranking of the article goes down. This is intended to penalize controversial articles that may result in flame wars.

This article has <200 comments, while the other one has >400; this is likely a significant factor in the falling ranking, in addition to the age.

I also believe that upvote velocity is weighted more heavily than upvote quantity, but I could be wrong there.
