Ask HN: How to discover new technologies, research?
How do you keep track of new research or new technologies, I'm reading "the morning paper" [1], are there any similar blogs or websites?

Of course Google's ads will be deemed as "acceptable" with their own ad blocker. What are the chances that Google will add the capability to allow for third party "content blockers" that block ads in Chrome for Android?

Apple has allowed third party content blockers for iOS for years.
honestly I dont think there is enough (easily accessible) water for 10 million people.

Ruby is just used rarely outside RoR, realistically speaking.
That's the point, "constitutionally" while they lock you up for hours/days on end to obtain the warrant needed to give up your password unless you are willing to stay locked up.
It seems that unlike Firefox or Ubuntu's mobile efforts, they are self-aware of their niche status and are focused on expanding with that instead of aiming for mass-market adoption.
I don't know how you think Philz is any different. They're a chain with the same desired path to global domination in the coffee space as any other business. And their coffee is awful.
I could see people in hot climates using these as reverse solar panels for cooling their pools. Nothing refreshing about jumping into a 95* pool on a 100*/90% humidity day...
Oh honey, you haven't met some of the "mercenaries/private military contractors can solve everything" libertarians.
"It's psuedo-code that works"
Until I can see the VA work successfully or Doctors being excited about TriCare, I don't think we should entertain this idea. Further, right now all parts of the government are being weaponized by Democrats and Republicans. The last thing I want is my healthcare being used a political leverage, even more than it has been since Obamacare was passed.
India is on the list. That tells you a lot about the selection criteria: governmental efficiency is simply not a criteria. Nor is passenger wealth a criteria.

My guess is that these routes are chosen based on population of the end points, distance, and geography. California loses based on geography: too many massive mountain ranges you would need to tunnel through.
This is a very California-centric mindset. The Houston-Dallas commute is the largest growing in the nation [1].

As this thread will ultimately will end up discussing the corporate evil that Nestlé apparently is, I want to, for the sake of the discussion, point out the reasonableness of the CEOs statement regarding water as a human right:

He argues water should have a market value so that it is treated more like a resource that should be well managed. Of course a state can also do this and in my opinion should, but of course as a company they want to fill this role. If water is treated as a market asset then more investment will happen (which can also happen through a state entity) - a good thing. In a later video, after the 2005 video was a total PR disaster, he tries to clarify his argument by saying that water should be a human right to humans who need it for living, but not for gardening or washing a car. To me that seems like a valid case.
I think a major "innovation" from Mastodon was integrating with the GNUSocial and ActivityPub networks. Mastodon is new and shiny, like many other attempted decentralized social networks have been. But what's crazy is that it's new and shiny and built on the old social networks, so it inherits their communities and reinvigorates the old communities. This novel approach to "make a new social network" contributes greatly to Mastodon's success imo.

I think we should keep trying. All private internet services are doomed to die. It's inevitable. Only decentralized services can live on and keep us truly free.
Yes. They also have your credit history.

And, critically, a decent modern website/app and good enough customer support.
If it replaces COS->DEN then that's 3 hours of a lot of peoples lives back when they travel.
If I remember correctly, the idea is to block ads that don't conform to the standards set by the Coalition for Better Ads [0]. Google is (as you can expect) a member of this coalition (just like Facebook and many other companies [1]).

Many have listed out the technical reasons, but I think there's a cultural aspect: I think many people are turned off by the community of languages like Ruby. Sometimes you just want a great tool, not unicorns and kittens.
A lot of places already have these, but informally.

Also, why on earth do you think we'd have to? If no one wants them, why would we have them?
It's easy to see how someone might conclude Soylent is targeted toward ambitious males (especially in tech, especially single ones), at least from its initial marketing efforts as a meal replacement for career minded folks neck deep in tech. That's how I remember them anyway. It may have changed; I only follow the thing when stuff like this or their "move fast and ~make people sick~ try new recipes" schtick that turns out to be disastrous makes the news.
This was a fascinating read, and obviously makes some concerning points. I don't think I ever thought about how rising C02 levels would affect plants, but it's interesting to see where this will go, as far as public knowledge and politically.
Add switch statement to Python
The graph looks wrong, no? Doesn't the independant variable typically go on the x axis? The sustainable cost line intersects the graph randomly. If you swap the labels of the graph then it kinda makes sense, only I disagree with the shape of the curve in that case. A little customization goes a long way. The curve shouldn't decrease until the midpoint.
Yes, but the other 85% of the sectors would likely benefit a reduction in costs (i.e. insurance premiums for their employees) that would positively affect their bottom line.
To some degree, hospitals perform a kind of internal socialism: a poor, homeless person can't be turned away from the emergency room, but they also can't pay for its actual cost. To balance their books, hospitals then have to overcharge people with good insurance.

This is similar to private universities charging rich students the full sticker price, while giving poorer students scholarships and financial aid.
It helped Nokia a lot to switch from Gtk to Qt.

0.2 BTC is currently >600 USD. There's cheaper way to get a credit score.
Yeah, that was pretty awful. They pushed formula as being more healthy, which it isn't, and it was made extra bad because they did so in countries that didn't have clean water. Adults in those countries have built up somewhat of an immunity to the diseases in the water, but infants don't have that (they get it from their mother's milk!)

So parents mixed the water with the formula, giving their infants diseases they didn't have any protection against because they didn't get any antibodies from their mother's milk
Gotcha. That makes sense

Salmon-ladder development is not the way to do agile
Claiming that private institutions aren't under any obligations for reasonable conduct seems to be a very uniquely American ideation; that somehow only the government is bound by higher ideals, and businesses can do what they please with whoever they please as long as someone signs a contract
Well, you still have to use the words "associativity" and "identity" when you describe the operation and say what the identity element is. You can't just say that you can "combine" elements "monoidally" for it to mean anything.

Also, the elements are still combined associatively. With closure and and identity properties, the set forms a monoid under this operation. "Monoidness" is not a property of operation (in a way that the language is usually used, at least in math).

For that matter, "combine monoidally" is a phrase that has 2 Google hits at the moment, which indicates to me that in real life, you still have to resort to less-shiny words to describe things.
Make it possible to cancel online and retroactively give refunds on your website. You'll never see a chargeback again.
From a value investing standpoint, it is overvalued, but obviously tech stocks play by different rules. However, even for a tech stock, TSLA is very high priced.

I wish them the best, and I truly hope they succeed, but it doesn't change the fact that the speculative value is super high compared to their asset value.

That explains why it can swing wildly in price while Ford generally won't.
You can do much better the Philz, depending on where you are at there are lots of good options. In you're in the bay area look up Four Barrel, they roast great beans and their SF coffee shop is really nice.
On the phone we plan to produce, you will be able to install Android as matter of fact - it is just that we will not do it by our default as we want a pure Linux stack that is going to roll in updates normally as desktop is and not being attached to older kernels and heavy forks of ecosystem. Even for scale of Google it is not feasible to do it that way so they are now doing their own research and development (Fuchsia OS or something like that).
What I want to know is what face data is shared with 3rd parties like snapchat. That seems like the bigger threat, and no one is really discussing that.
Hm well the answer is yes, we can't get less organized :)

What will it look like? I think the first big issue that most could get behind would be nationally organizing against non-compete agreements.

I can attest - Eastpark survived my middle and high school, and was passed on in pretty good shape, despite not being particularly well treated :)

Dreddit is the corp, TEST is the alliance. IIRC (it's been a loooong time since I played Eve) Dreddit was at one point the "main" corp in TEST but that might have changed.

But then you either get hit with a penalty for not buying insurance, or you get hit with a penalty and also a bill for $500,000 when you find out you've got some illness you didn't know about and hospital bills bankrupt you.
That it doesn't need to make an impact. It'll be a hobbyists' project like desktop Linux that people will continue to push forward for its own sake.

This is a very good point and may explain this phenomenon. However, I'm not 100% sure that those numbers are equally distributed. Still, it may well account for the fact that random numbers still resulted in a hit. Good point.

Uh, it's the ads that are hurting the user experience. And I don't particularly care if your targeting suffers.
Probably the option we'll explore when reviewing plans. Or go back to work for a company which provides coverage as part of the employment package.
There are still widely used packages that don't work with pip, like PyQt.
Hospitals put the costs of uncompensated care at 5-6% of total expenses:

Honestly, ars technica is "kind of a raging dumpster fire." Over the past few years I've watched them transform from producing measured, interesting, informative articles to producing politics-laden "reactionary youth" idiocy, akin to Vox or Mic. Another one bites the dust, I guess.
That sounds fair. After all, you can't use food stamps to feed your cattle so why should government subsidize the water for agriculture?
I see your point, but nobody is saying the time she served wasn't adequate - yet still they want to force punishment.

Nobody would be complaining if she was trying to receive a HS diploma. But throw a prestigious school in the mix and all of a sudden its an issue.

"The caps are an average of 2 miles (3 kilometers) thick and, if completely melted, could cover the Martian surface with about 18 feet (5.6 meters) of water."

So, there is actually plenty of water for arbitrarily large colonies. However, I assume people would want large lakes for various reasons.
Bodega Isn’t Just Bad Branding, It’s Bad Business
I dunno, having seen racks full of Macbooks with plastic wedges to keep the screen just-open-enough, it sounds like doing any Mac development that would require a server component is trash since they terminated Xserve in 2011.

This doesn't sound so bad until it becomes apparent that any sort of build/test farms, like you'd want for CI, would be best served by dedicated hardware like this.
Fully Immersive VR Games we tested in 2017
This seems like a very promising idea, especially since every site nowadays loads 12 scripts that were copy/pasted from eight different sources by six different developers all over the page, and each one just blocks everything no matter how fast your network or client is.

I mean, that's if you're lucky and the development team was relatively competent.
What a great idea. Seems like a disruptive new revenue model for sites with good content. I wonder if it will be co-opted for use by sites offering pirated content, which raises interesting legal/ethical questions since Coinhive keeps 30% of the mining profits (i.e., are they accomplices of the pirates since they are profiting from the illegal acts?)
It's certainly growing here in the UK. From being level with Ruby 5 or 6 years ago the Python:Ruby jobs ratio is now 2.9. I've also watched Django recently edge ahead of Rails for the first time.
I went to a walk in clinic a few months ago to get antibiotics for a severe sinus infection and I have insurance. I had to pay a $50 copay. While I was waiting another customer walked up who did not have insurance and was charged $99. A few weeks later I was billed an additional $97 because my insurance refused some items.

The clinic is allowed to charge some customers more than others, that seems unreasonable. The root issue though is that health care is a for profit business.

While I understand that profits are what drives drug companies to assume the risk of new drug development, people should not be forced to decide between going to the doctor or dentist to get important medical help or paying the rent.
Many high cost procedures could be eliminated if they were caught earlier with affordable preventative care. Health care costs are further driven up by the hospital having to initially eat the cost of treating uninsured people.

Prior to obamacare both of my parents were uninsured due to being self employed and pre-existing medical conditions. In a span of a week my father had a heart attack and my mother shattered her arm (requiring surgery). Total cost was over $80,000. They of course could not pay that and defaulted.

Once Obamacare was introduced they both signed up and had insurance.

Long story short if you provide affordable options for people they will generally take it. Basic human decency states that the cost of medical care should never be prohibitive enough to stop people from seeking the care they need.

If Europe can make it work I see no reason the US cannot.
The UK distances are based on big curving loops with intermediate stops (Liverpool - Glasgow goes via Edinburgh and Newcastle). I'm not convinced that makes them more practical - if anything the opposite - but it does mean the distances likely work.

There is no actual "worth" of all Bitcoins as a whole, whether in regard to USD nor in regard to anything else. The only thing that exists is the last price at which a non-zero amount of Bitcoins - usually only a tiny, tiny fraction of all coins, today usually not even a whole coin - has changed hands. This price, taken for every exchange, is then usually averaged to get a "market value" of one Bitcoin.

The "market cap" is then just a number calculated by taking this average and multiplying it with all Bitcoins in existence. Of course, the value would collapse instantly, if just a fraction of these is put up for sale for current market price. Actually you can witness this happening right now (try www.cryptowat.ch and just pick a Bitcoin exchange and watch how the price moves...mostly downward right now...because there's so much selling going on).

In case of Bitcoin it is even more severe, as it is rather well-known that only a fraction of the 16.5 million coins in existence is even accessible and an even smaller fraction of that is actually circulating. There are multiple millions of coins buried on wallets to which the private keys have been long forgotten. Or at least "most likely", because there's no way to prove whether a particular wallet is just inactive, but someone still has the key, or whether the knowledge about the key has been lost forever, and with it any access to the coins on it. I heard about estimates of only 8 million coins being actually accessible and in some kind of regular or irregular circulation...
It was meant as an irony of history, because the rest of the Python scene barely made the switch by now.
Noncompetes would be a great issue to organize around, especially outside of SFBA.
Certain pests (mainly large beetles or their larvae) used to be controlled by removing them manually - it's more expensive than pesticides, but it was feasible (and worth it!) to do it simply by bunch of people going over the crops. This means that they could be controlled mechanically in the future.
Take a look at mypy and pytype - there is a drive in the Python community to add a verification system to the language.
Here's mine. Almost exactly the same as yours but written a tiny bit different. Also I wrote the complete program.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Word of factor
wof = { 3: 'Fizz', 5: 'Buzz', 7: 'Bar' }

def fizz (i):

out = ''.join([wof[k] for k in sorted(wof.keys()) if not(i % k)])

return out or str(i)

for i in range(1, 101):

print(fizz(i))

Some notes on my version:

1. I used dicts like the parent to yours. Tuples are almost just as fine and you do get a little bit nicer code in the part that you say

word for x, word in outputs

where our say

wof[k] for k in sorted(wof.keys())

However, when I wrote mine I imagined myself sitting in front of an interactive interpreter session.

Now let's say that we've each typed in the code we have here and then the interviewer says "now make it say Bazinga when the number is divisible by 19, and keep the order like with FizzBuzzBar".

Since my wof is global, I can add to it directly

wof[19] = 'Bazinga'

But let's pretend that yours was global as well

outputs.append((19, 'Bazinga'))

So aside from the global / not global we are on equal ground thus far.

But then the interviewer says "now make it say Fnord when the number is divisible by 13, and keep the order still".

Then once again I can simply

wof[13] = 'Fnord'

Whereas if you did

outputs.append((13, 'Fnord'))

then now you are out of order.

So you have to do some extra steps to ensure it's in order. Either you have to redeclare the whole thing (imagine there were one million pairs of numbers and strings!), or you have to sort it, or you have to find where you are going to insert and split it in two and join it around.

Not saying that mine is in any way better, just felt like sharing how I thought about this :)

2. (Wow note #1 was looong, sorry 'bout that.) I prefer splitting up my code like

out = ''.join([wof[k] for k in sorted(wof.keys()) if not(i % k)])

return out or str(i)

as opposed to your all-at-once

return ''.join(word for x, word in outputs if i % x == 0) or str(i)

In my opinion splitting it exactly the way I did is more readable. Again, not a critique against what you wrote. Esp. since you said it yourself that your code was a bit tongue-in-cheek.

3. Even when split like I did there, I actually don't think my

out = ''.join([wof[k] for k in sorted(wof.keys()) if not(i % k)])

is all that nice either.

One thing, which others have pointed out about this often is that too much is happening in one line but also there is another issue.

We all make typos or logic errors every now and then. In my exprience it's much more difficult to debug list comprehensions compared to... well whatever we call that which is not list comprehensions. Both with regards to error messages and with regards to following what's going on. I maintain that this is true even if you have a habit of using a lot of list comprehensions.
This is a really, really good post, and I feel like you're hitting on the right thing.

I find mypy to be pretty useful for this.
Also don't start a project with a highly detailed list of requirements and estimates and a hard deadline and call it agile either. Sadly we do.
