This didn't work so well for one of my projects: https://github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday

I chose to look at this one as the README is quite descriptive and offers examples, and it is reasonably well structured.

It's a Go HTML sanitizer.

The suggested topics included "go" but none of the others I have now tagged it with.

It did include things like "html-element" and "data-uri". I can see how it did this from word prevalence, but these were far too specific to examples and documentation, and did not describe the project.

It feels as if the word counted should be weighted towards the early part of the README, perhaps no farther in than the 3rd heading.
I wrote my own one of these too (in 30 lines of shell):

The article missed one huge factor: date farming by AWS/Amazon.

If one has data on pricing and sales across retail and online channels on a national scale, how risky would a purchase of a retailer really be? Not much, as you can pivot towards high sales, high profit products without doubting your strategy

I have seen impressive WebGL demos, but for some reason WebGL always makes the GPU sweat more than plain native code driving my fan at full speed, even though it offers less.

Maybe it is a consequence of using JS, I have never researched it.
If you don't test both kinds of diagnostics on the same patients, that doesn't sound the same at all?

As another example, if you have a ten-question survey, asking 1000 people one question is not the same as asking 100 people all ten questions. You don't learn nearly as much about the correlation between answers to different questions.
The Waymo article focused on testing, both physical and virtual. This article just describes the visualization tool that Uber uses to replay SDC logs. They might use the same tool to control and view simulations, but the article doesn't really touch on that.
This is a bit off topic but I have never understood why the US cares about corruption in foreign governments. I understand why corruption is bad and should not happen but what I don’t understand why the US cares. If a US company can make more money this way (without violating any domestic bribery laws) why does the US care? It is not like that they are known to have high moral standards when it comes to other countries unless it somehow aligns with their own interests.
But clojure is a java application, and its libraries (written in java) are also java libraries, you can use them from java (and some people do).

There's nothing wrong with writing your own library implemented using bit operations.
Monsanto has waged war against independent farmers for years. If your neighbor planted Monsanto seeds and they germinated into your crop, Monsanto sues you for stealing their IP. They now own your crops because your crops contain their intellectual property.

This is not a joke. Monsanto has sued hundreds and hundreds of farmers and driven them out of business.

Farmers who have worked hard to keep Monsanto's IP out of their fields are at a serious disadvantage in crop yields.

But now there's a new twist. It isn't pollen and germination agents drifting on the wind this time. It's deadly herbicide. This time, the contamination doesn't benefit the neighbors; it kills them. Well, first it kills their crops. If only those hundreds of farmers were still around to turn the tables on Monsanto. Too bad there aren't hundreds and hundreds of family farms that could each take a multi-million dollar chunk out of Monsanto.

Maybe we can take advantage of this moment to adjust the rules. If your intellectual property blows through the wind and contaminates your neighbors, you should be liable, not them. That should be true whether the IP kills their crops or whether it increases their crop yields. In all cases, they should not be liable--you should.

While I feel the same raging wish to see corrupt business leaders suffer, I think it's just the nature of these cases that most enforcement works via Civil liability.

The FCPA is mostly concerned with larger, often public companies. Corruption at that level almost certainly is a sign of a organisational failure. It's the shared responsibility of a lot of people to create structures that don't allow for corruption.

At the core of it are the incentives: for an employee to consider bribing someone, a lot must have gone wrong. After all it carries the risk of jail time for them, while any benefits go to their employer first.

I did, but I didn't want to wear a lapel mic for the video and deal with the extra hassle. It was just me (no helpers) and a couple cameras. Wired mics suspended overhead kept sound setup from adding to the logistics for each take.

The sound was done similarly to the previous video, which hadn't drawn comments. This time though, a sizable fraction of people said it was distracting.

IIRC, there was a Reddit thread where they asked elderly (or elderly relatives of redditers) what the greatest technological advancement was during their lifetime, and indoor plumbing was more of a leap than the Saturn V taking humans to the moon and back.
Am I the only one who have no idea what 16/44.1 or 16/48 mean? I initially thought 192 here was referring to 192 vs 320 etc but this is apparently about something completely different?
wdired was a revelation on what an editor can do with capable and imaginative developers on it.
> he says he could tell the difference between high bitrate mp3 and 16 bit 44k wav.

In the early days, when all mp3 encoders were pretty bad, I could tell which encoder produced a given file. mp3 encoders today are vastly better. I've not been able to do that party trick in a long time.

It's not obvious that 2 channels of recorded audio aren't sufficient to recreate a convincing stereo image; suggesting that I'm seeking the equivalent of VR is specious.

And you haven't answered my question about the array of 20kHz tone generators. In fact, NOBODY has, and yet the question has been down-voted! How is that even possible? Posing a novel experiment which might invalidate the populist view considered harmful?

TFA's author is not active in the field of advancing man's ability to recreate live music more convincingly, AFAIK; he writes codecs. He believes people shouldn't purchase 192kHz downloads. He's certainly right that most consumers won't be able to tell the difference with their current equipment. But he makes no mention of the interaural time difference in human auditory perception, so he's already not telling the whole story. There is more to learn here, folks, and down-voting a question is an embarrassing failure of these forums. Why aren't posts in support of music piracy down-voted (read above)?

I'm not suggesting lacing mdma with dxm would be out of the question, and maybe it was more common in the 90s, but it's my understanding that the biggest adulterant of mdma (besides meth) in 2000-2013 was methylone, which could be ordered online until recently, and is known for having a relatively similar profile to mdma, with relatively few side effects and a low risk profile (to the best of our current knowledge)
Are you involved in autonomous vehicle research, or just an extreme enthusiast? You appear to have expertise or have devoted a ton of research and contemplation on the matter.

Probably the only scenario that leads to a sudden influx of autonomous vehicles would be intense competition that pushes all competitors' break-even point to many years. Another necessary condition would be extremely low-cost retrofitting for existing vehicles. Still, I can't imagine a single scenario that leads to developing countries adopting autonomous vehicles within several years of them being available in industrialized countries.

I can agree the most of them aren't engineering either.
Wouldn't the most natural liable party be the farmer who bought Monsanto seeds and planted them in a careless manner?

So perhaps Monsanto can sue all these farmers for the increase in crop yield, but they could turn around and sue their neighbor for exposing them to the problem.
This seems like an actual reasonable solution to the problem that makes most people happy. Where is this sanity coming from?
Payoneer. He can open an virtual account there and get their mastercard for free which he can use whereever he needs. And you send money to that account easiliy.

Even Upwork that you used can send earnings to freelancers Payoneer account, so you could have just skipped giving money to Upwork and paid him directly

I think that's rather short-sighted. All those gains come at the expense of "pests", or biodiversity, basically. All those flies and grubs would feed myriad birds and other insects, which would then feed into river ecosystems and support fish. Of course, if you want to live in a sterile world and grow old eating Soylent, then game on.
A lifetime ago (~17 years) I pitched Michael Jordan on investing in my tech startup. I got the meeting through someone that had previously run one of his golf ventures. While I pitched to Michael himself, his investment decisions at the time were essentially all made by his money manager, a shrewd and difficult guy named Curtis Polk. I believe he still runs Michael's financial affairs.

At my meeting with Michael and his team, Michael said "you've convinced me, now you have to convince Curtis". I assume that's his standard response, so that he doesn't have to reject anyone and can blame Curtis. But in this case Michael called my contact that setup the meeting after the fact and said he actually wanted to invest, but Curtis told him that he would make him sign a waiver saying he was doing it against his advice if he did. Michael liked what he saw enough that after he turned us down, he setup a pitch meeting with another very high profile potential investor.

The point of this story is that if you see a big celebrity name attached to an investment, odds are that the decision wasn't actually made by that celebrity investor. The smart ones have built very high walls around their fortunes, and the gatekeepers are the people you should be talking to if you want a celebrity investor. My mistake with Michael was spending most of my time talking to him, and barely addressing Curtis, who turned out to be the actual decision maker.
"The original version of this article stated that IR LEDs operate from 300-325THz (about 920-980nm), wavelengths that are invisible. Quite a few readers wrote to say that they could in fact just barely see the LEDs in some (or all) of their remotes. Several were kind enough to let me know which remotes these were, and I was able to test several on a spectrometer. Lo and behold, these remotes were using higher-frequency LEDs operating from 350-380THz (800-850nm), just overlapping the extreme edge of the visible range. "
I totally agree that Google, Facebook and Amazon have too much power and too little accountability.

However they're all global companies and as bad as they are, I trust all of them more than I trust the US government (I am not American). Can you even imagine how their business would work when these are state entities? You're no longer buying ad placements from a marketing company, you're buying them from the US government. You're no longer selling product through a third-party storefront, you're selling through the US government. Google and Facebook, two of the most important information gateways, are now controlled by the US Congress and Senate. All that information on people all over the world is now in the hands of the US government.

The very thought of this terrifies me.
Higher taxes generally reduce property prices. As the carrying costs get higher, only those who can make efficient use of property (or who really want to live there) can justify the payments. In other words, it reduces the profits of income properties (be they long term rentals or short term rentals), which reduces the demand for the properties as a source of income, thus decreasing the cost (in spite of the higher taxes!) for people who want to live there. It also reduces speculative holding of property: again because the taxes paid while the speculator waits for prices to rise make it less likely that the speculator will profit, so they will go elsewhere looking for profits.
You can't really use the but-everyone-does-it defence when it's a case that in no way could be considered a business requirement.

Maybe there actually are conscientious business leaders that hate being forced into corruption by some countries' customs–personally, that sounds just a bit too convenient at times, and I've some actually moral business leaders go through all sorts of trouble to avoid being compromised.

One story I remember was the 70 years+ founder of a company, with personal wealth in the 9 digits, refusing to pay some government goon at an airport in west Africa. He spent a day and a half in this guy's office, in 100degF+ heat, without ever being tempted to take the easy way.
Wow this guy does not mention taxation and the huge advantage governments bestow upon large companies by making it possible to engineer taxes away, an opportunity much less open to small companies. Instead he wants a merger with the biggest responsibility-shirking enterprise of all: the state!
16/44.1 - 16 bits at 44.1 kHz frequency. 16/48 is 16 bits at 48 kHz frequency. Both refers to the sampled but uncompressed, "raw" audio.

192 and 320 usually refers to the bitrate for mp3 compressed audio, which indeed is something different. The mp3 compression removes more and more details from the original audio to fit "inside" this bitrate speed window, hence higher is better because less original content is removed. Only great ears can hear what was removed from a 320 stream.
Kind of random comment, but thank you! I switched to Firefox from Chrome a few weeks ago, and one of my major annoyances was that Firefox would play Youtube videos opened in background tabs, even before the tab ever got focus. Seeing your comment gave me the idea to search about:config for a setting related to autoplay, and I found a setting that enables my preferred behavior.

So, thanks!
There's a curious abstract thinking process of "government can do some good in the world" that spawns the bureaucratic leviathan capable of all kinds of mischief.

I read some of ancestors' comments and wonder why they always seem willfully blind to it. Is there a still small voice in them that says, "A little waste is to be expected" or "WE are in control of it, I am certain"? Utopian dreamers and busybodies, ugh.

It's amazing that we as humans haven't developed a built-in argument against suppression-resistance technologies. After at least a couple of decades of race conditions in antibiotics, now we're importing it to agriculture. It has to be seen as a dead end. A profitable dead end, but a dead end nonetheless.

Keynes did actually say the rentier class should be liquidated. The landlord is the ideal rentier. A grocer is not necessarily a rentier, they add value by providing a service. Rental income is purely a privilege of ownership, received due to a granted title, similar to patent and copyright.
The author spends a long time talking about how companies are planning to make money (shocking news!) on AI, and then concludes with "What’s the answer? Nationalization!"

Ahem, no - your birthdays example can't apply here. When you increase the number of people in the room, each one of them benefits from every new person added, in terms of probability of having been born on the same day.

In the flood case, a flood in California and one in Miami don't really increase the chance of another flood simply because they have happened.

To be clear, I'm pretty sure the narrator in these films is not Jam Handy. There is an interview with Mr. Handy himself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlDdE3Q5BWM

Possibly interesting sidenote, to this day a large number of the audio/visual and staging companies in the Detroit area can trace their lineage back to the Jam Handy Organization. Although I have a feeling we may now be a generation far enough removed that many of them may no longer know it.
Hah. I use the Dark Side of the Moon album for comparisons as well. I find that you need to use something that you are very well acquainted with. Oddly enough I also use Electric Heart, by Sia, as it has such a bizarrely flooded mid-range :)
Do we know Amazon's policy on "peeking" into people's AWS data? I feel like they would have something against that in their ToS/Privacy Policy.

I don't know how strategic that move is in this case. It's not going to slow down Amazon's retail growth, and it'll just cost Target more to transition. They should have sound reasons to move away, like if they found cheaper and better alternatives. I don't know, it feels a little desperate from my point of view.

Chesterton's fence has long been a staple of HN discussions. Unfortunately, it involves no risk/reward analysis and it invariably leads to needless conservatism. That's probably not a big deal in medical research where risks are often high, but it's a problem when applied as a general principle.

(The opposite wisdom is probably grandma's ham [1]. Consider that if grandma had passed away, they might never be allowed to try cooking the whole ham.)

Governments have broken up large companies in the past, and that works out pretty well. Why suggest nationalization over that? The article only mentions “huge economies of scale”, but doesn’t do a good job convincing me that there isn’t room for broken up Amazons, Google’s, etc.

On the other hand, nationalization is a terrible idea for so many reason. It also goes against the fabric of the American economonic system.

I know it’s opinion, but hard to believe that the guardian published this with how poorly written it is.
I enjoyed your response to quirkyquark's comment. Your insults are creative and entertaining. The part about Google devouring the corpse of Uber's entrails was especially humorous.

Are you having a bit of fun, or are you genuinely passionately against Uber? If you are in earnest, what is your personal connection to the Uber scandals?

If in earnest, it seems a bit out of character from your previously dispassionate posts here on HN. Since you are a frequent poster here, this isn't the first time I have noticed your writing.

Edit: after a second read, I'm finding it pretty unlikely you were being serious. I am not as good at discerning sarcasm on the internet as I should be.

All kinds of human activity suffer significantly from poorer vision. For example, sewing and weaving, hunting and fishing. The term presbyopia isn't just derived from Greek, it was coined by the ancient Greeks themselves who also endeavored to understand the phenomenon. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23773258

If someone's eyes were damaged I have little doubt that they'd recognize the damage. I can imagine all sorts of reasons why this may not have been recorded, presuming such damage was common. But that they didn't realize their vision deteriorated, I highly doubt.

Second, the effect of this would be to further stifle competition from smaller businesses. Which is also not something that free societies do.
