Sure, I am quite familiar with the narrow Victorian streets in London and agree that that knowledge is certainly and asset but having knowledge of those doesn't tell me if there's road work or an accident on them until it's too late. That's all I meant.

I agree that the level of professionalism of a London cabbie provides a comfortable experience. Certainly to to that of a Yellow cab driver in NYC. And this is one of those issues for me. Taxi drivers in NYC have no regard for blocking an intersections, blocking cross walks, running red lights and blowing the horn incessantly. The Uber/Lyft driver on the other hand seems to do these quite rarely. It's seems to be a much more considerate experience for both the passengers and pedestrians. I do certainly see the danger though if cities losing their cabs and Ubert/Lyft just becoming the new entrenched player.
To a large percentage of Internet users, entering something into the Google search bar IS how they go places. (The address bar is a very strange mystery to plenty of people.) That's a big part of why Google is not permitted to act the way they are. They have become more or less the front door to the Internet, and hence, cannot unfairly prioritize their own products over others'.

A big part of why tech users don't understand why Google is being subject to antitrust action is that a lot of people in the tech industry literally have no idea how everyone else uses their computers. Like not understanding that people tend to go to Yelp by Googling "yelp" and clicking the first link. (Which is sadly, usually a malicious Google Ad imitating Yelp, but I digress.)

> Unless 20% of the population is ready to take up arms to install the dictatorship of proletariat, but I am sure you know this isn't the case.

I really, really haven't witnessed that those 20% are non-violent, much the opposite. They wouldn't install "dictature du proletariat" of course, but mugging moderately-rich people is a recurrent story in France. That's what I'm highlighting when I quote the "Petit Grégory", other stories of physical exclusion and physical violence, including the video of the Air France CEO being mugged by employees, sequestration of management teams until they sign off grants for employees, humiliation of Christian people without grounds... French people, until demonstrated otherwise, are hostile to successful people. Except JJ Goldman, but he's openly Communist-friendly.

You say it's all peaceful discussions, but I witness the violence, verbal to physical. And beyond those 20%, another 30% are happy bystanders, who wouldn't oppose if such a scene happened ("he's rich, he didn't donate to that homeless guy, therefore he had it coming").

Look, HN is not the best place for politics, it's rather a place to arouse one's curiosity. So please take note of the phenomenon I'm bringing to your attention (which is corroborated by 3-4 prople below), and you'll notice the phenomenon in real life if you pay attention.

> Google is doing what is best for it's customers

except it has been shown that the organic search results rank Yelp listings higher than Google's Local listings thus they are, in fact, displaying worse results at the top. Unless you believe Google's search product sucks I think this proves they aren't doing what's best for customers at all, they are doing what's best for them.

Keep in mind they are trying to develop Google Maps into a social review platform where you can write reviews, order delivery, etc. that seems similar to Yelp. Is it not clear they are using their Search monopoly to get more content on their own, currently worse, local reviews platform to have it become more dominant in the long run?

I would guess that a 100GB bloom filter would have 800 gigabits.

> Col. Serhiy Demydiuk, the head of Ukraine’s national Cyberpolice unit, has not accused anyone at MeDoc of being involved with the attack. He has said that the company was warned multiple times about potential security vulnerabilities in its systems. “They knew about it,” Demydiuk told the Associated Press. “They were told many times by various anti-virus firms... For this neglect, the people in this case will face criminal responsibility."

Criminal charges for not fixing known vulnerabilities? That's a risky road to travel down. Especially given the general state of infosec among various governments around the world and the offensive first mindset of their security agencies.

This sounds like the result of being pressured to appear to be doing something about a very public problem rather than using the justice system to set a meaningful precedent. Especially if enforcement is going to be arbitrarily based on only exceptionally bad cases.

People love to use the courts as a knee jerk reaction to every problem without considering more effective or efficient alternatives first.

In London:

- Management or technology consultants with maybe 6-7 years+ experience (particularly the more well known firms)
- Many roles in accounting and law firms, approx. similar experience as above
- B2B sales (if they're any good) particularly in finance or enterprise tech
- Almost anyone working in a hedge fund
- Front Office IB roles (quant, trading, business management, sales, et al.) after perhaps 3-5 years
- Other IB/banking roles at mid management and above levels (varies by bank)
- Most any decent technical or business contractor
- Technical architects and dev team leads for large projects
- Some recruiters / "headhunters"

Source: I have been a consultant and contractor, and worked with/hired for the majority of these roles at £>100k

Some of these roles are hard, in cut-throat industries and involve long hours. Plenty are not; get yourself in a middle/back office mid management role in an IB and if you're reasonably intelligent you can take home 100k (and the rest) whilst working from home 1-2 days a week and rarely staying in the office after 5:30. I'm not saying you'll find it satisfying, but it isn't difficult.

You can get lots of mileage out of bloom filters as well by just using them off of disk. If you're smart about it and use mmap'd files, you only ever end up reading a few bytes at a time. On modern SSDs you can get some really incredible performance not too far off using them in RAM, or you can use a bunch of them for a simple classifier.

Anyone interested in Cancer has to read the Pulitzer prize winning book, The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee.

On the flip side, I had lower back pain of varying intensity for about two years before it got really bad really suddenly and I went to someone recommended by someone knowledgeable in the subject who fixed it in about 30 minutes of some serious stretching and twisting and turning [1].

Two months with not a hint of pain and I'm pretty sure this is yet another example of the medical industry being incentivized into ignoring existing solutions. MD I went to prescribed 4 meds (pain killer, muscle relaxant, topical gel, something else), did and xray before telling me I have arthritis at 30, and referring me to a list of acupuncturists. If there's a lot of profit to be made in treating back pain, why would anyone ever fix it in a for-profit system?

For a little language I designed, I decided that keeping the evolutionary pathway open means introducing new keywords once in a while. But we don't want to break existing code; code is expensive. Valuable. We don't want to break valuables!

So I added a mandatory file header to the language which (amongst other things) specified the language version.

I thought this was a win... with one exception that would have bothered me a lot if this had been a language intended to achieve world domination:

Mandatory version headers totally ruin your "hello, world!" comparison chart story ;-)

The Democrats already are the centrist party. They made that move with Bill Clinton and the third way Democrats in the 90s to win elections again and never looked back. Going even more right wing will not bring civility back to America when one party is hell-bent on tearing apart anything that threatens its grip on power.

What America needs is an actually progressive party not beholden to corporate interests.

This whole South Park-style "all sides are equally terrible" cynicism is a huge factor in how things have been allowed to degrade to this point.

This is an excellent way to try and distract from the actual issues the EU has charged them with, and try to delegitimize the claims of one of the largest governments in the world because you like the company they're going after this week.

The EU has filed plenty of antitrust complaints against EU companies, but the reality is, particularly in the tech field, US monopolists are dominating. The fact that there are more US companies breaking the law, does not mean the EU filing more cases against US companies is political.
Another garbage article brought to you by Ars Technica. People seem to have this habit of complaining about projects that are gratis, have few developers and little to no funding. People should be grateful that these projects exist or work at all. All of these drive-by hit pieces are getting really pathetic and Ars Technica is not the only "tech news" tabloid doing this.

I personally support the work of the Haiku project and have not had as many issues as the writer of this article. Maybe if so many sites were not bloated with garbage, the web browser would not have fallen over. Sites should have a fallback mode in case of situations where js is not turned on or the browser is not HTML5 compliant. As for the email client falling over, I think there is more at play than the author is letting on.
They gave him a month, he already has access to any of those emails, and will continue to - nothing to clean, in that sense.

In any case, it's not their stated reason. If they're sending emails using noreply already (which are bouncing), that's a completely different issue, and I wonder if he wouldn't have a case for them impersonating him :)

I find it unlikely that anyone cold emails "noreply".
Or how about just forcing cars around these busy intersections. When there is too many people, they should just ban cars from these areas.
Similarly I fractured my foot out here in the US and a podiatrist told me it absolutely needed surgery. I flew home to have an orthopaedic surgeon look at it in the UK, they gave me one of those plastic ankle boots, and told me to slowly ease back into walking over the course of a month.
Here's some free advice. When your back bothers you, try some jogging. If you can't jog, walk. Taking it "easy" by laying around is not the cure. I'm pretty sure the vast number of back problems are caused by too much sitting and lying down.

> but are forced to buy expensive plans with Yelp to have some measure of control over their public profile

what evidence do you have to suggest that (a) business owners are forced to buy plans from Yelp (b) there's a strong correlation between business owners who don't pay Yelp and are not successful? I'm pretty sure these have been debunked[1] but if you have data I'd like to see it.

in spite of this, even if you personally believe Yelp has sketchy business practices, is unethical, etc. it does not follow that what Google is doing is OK. There are actually laws that attempt to stop what Google is doing but as far as I know, Yelp's not breaking any laws.

I'm not going to say deadlifts are recommended in every case, and I have no medical qualifications.

I have done a bunch of research and have tons of anecdotes which indicate that with proper form deadlifts are far safer and more effective for a wide range of people than is commonly imagined. And the form is rather easy to get right.
That advice could leave people paralyzed. Slight modification: when it hurts, give it rest. When it gets better, don't forget to keep healing it.
The problem is that it appears most people actually want noise, and it's becoming especially apparent as a lot of these content channels become more mainstream.

Anyone who's been on Reddit for the majority of the site's existence will probably have noticed monumental shifts in popular content, which I feel is essentially a movement away from serious diverse discussion towards entertainment and self validation.

I don't think I'd be going out on a limb to say a large amount of HN readers are interested in serious discourse, and I wouldn't be surprised to find there are many like me who feel completely alienated by modern Reddit. Previously it was enough to just ignore the default subs, but the momentum has become so strong that it has become pervasive even in niche subs.

I've been thinking about it a lot recently, probably mostly stemming from nostalgia of what Reddit used to be, but I feel something that is quite important is identifying that different people are interested in different content, an that nobody is really entitled to stop others enjoying the category of content they want to consume.

I don't care about entertainment on Reddit, and I particularly don't care about image macros, in-jokes and one liners. I absolutely love the high effort informational posts and discussions though, and some of them are truly insightful. I yearn for a mechanism to reliably filter out most of the entertainment things and promote the high effort content. I'd love for it to stay some form of voting mechanism though as it seems really effective when the community votes using congruent inclinations.

The Slashdot voting system worked using a classification system (interesting, funny, etc.) but that is hardly good supporting evidence for content classification as it didn't work particularly well, perhaps because it was so limited (votes themselves were limited in quantity.)

My current line of thinking is using emoji reactions might be an interesting option like you see on GitHub comments. If I want to avoid the entertainment posts I could filter out posts which predominantly have the laughing emoji. There is evidence that emoji reactions themselves are compelling enough to be used, and possibly more compelling than the style of categorisation that Slashdot used.

I feel that it's fundamentally important that a system like this needs to integrate into existing communities somehow, as there's no point having it if there's no content to apply it to. This is probably the hardest part but possibly also a very compelling part, having a content indexing / classification system might also be a way to centralise a lot of this content.

This post got a little long winded and ranty so apologies for that, but I've been wanting to get these thoughts in writing for a little while. If anyone has any ideas around this general topic I'd love to hear. I've gotten to the point where I'd like to invest energy into attempting to solve it.
Your experiences don't necessarily generalize to the population. Lots of people have back problems despite regular exercise.
There's a PBS series based on the book:
http://www.pbs.org/show/story-cancer-emperor-all-maladies/
Perhaps, but exercise has so many other contingent benefits with so few comparable risks, not to mention it can be low cost of free that it's not really fair to compare the two.
Anyone suffering from back pain who really wants to recover should read Dr. John Sarno's work. Here's a link to his book: https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Back-Pain-Mind-Body-Connectio...

I was skeptical at first, but just reading his book and thinking through what he presented healed my lower back pain.

Right, but unless you are accusing Google of foul play, their market dominance is just evidence of the superior consumer value they provide. In other words, they are doing what is best for its customers.

The question of this thread is: did Google unfairly push out their competition. If you can't argue that, then this is just pointless Google hand wringing.
I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of a morning routine of 15 minutes of exercise at home, targeting the pelvic muscles. The only equipment required is a floor mat, if the floor is hard. I started gently and naturally progressed to a higher level, taking the attitude that there is no hurry, because I'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life, so there is plenty of time to progress. My initial routine was just lying on my back trying to tighten my pelvic muscles without hurting. Three years later I'm up to front/back/left/right planks interleaved with stretching.

I don't mean to be smug, as back pain really is an individual thing. There's an element of searching for what works, and I was lucky in that I was pointed directly towards an effective treatment.

This result was science based, in that I was treated by a general practitioner who specialised in back pain and insisted on an evidence based approach. (This doctor also wrote the manual for NSW's worker's compensation scheme and lectures at a major university on the topic.)

Edit: My doctor's rule was "pain free exercise". Go as far as you can, but stop if hurts. A test of whether you've really overdone it is whether the new pain goes away overnight. He also reckoned that it would be difficult to do a further injury whilst doing exercises, as the pain would make me self limiting.

Further edit: My initial physio, and a cortisone injection, at the time of injury, weren't aimed at a long term fix, but at providing enough temporary pain relief to begin exercising.
