I would have a background process continuously doing .md -> .html conversion.

Then I would have a FireFox tab open on the .html, and using an add-on, set that tab to auto-refresh periodically.

Actually, regarding the first point, I wouldn't have a background process. In my Vim environment, I already have a custom command :W which saves the buffer and runs :make. I would have a Makefile which builds the .html from the .md.

So by saving the .md with :W, the .html would regenerate and the auto-refreshing FF tab would pick that up however many seconds later.
I played on Silent 700s when I was kid. My father would bring one from work every now and again and I would be allowed to play on it... a bit anyway (I was ~10 at the time). I remember being in awe at how sophisticated some things could be... that you could actually put the telephone receiver in a couple of rubber cups and the machine could "talk" to a remote machine far away. Wonder of science that. And no, I'm not saying that sarcastically either! The phone we'd put in the acoustic couple modem was itself still a pulse-dialer with a cord (cordless phones still weren't generally on the scene just yet, though DTMF dialing was a thing, a newer thing, but a thing).

Between that and the copy of 101 BASIC Computer Games book I had (and still have) from that era, my career was really started unbeknownst to me.

It seems to me that much of this can be explained by one of the fundamental principles of machine learning:

Training and test samples must be iid (ie independently sampled from the same distribution) to get good performance. Otherwise there is bias.

This applies not only to speakers as individuals, but to all the other factors mentioned, like context, bg noise, gender, age, accent, education, mike, emotion, etc etc.

Many of the issues described can be traced down to this principle.

This is why, possibly, the core issue is data.

Although models and *PUs matter too, the theoretical performance boundary dependends on data quality only (with a model to match).

It is matching society, however: CollegeBoard testing statistics reveal that in high school girls take AP Computer Science much less frequently than boys - at proportions fairly close to 1:3.

Given that anyone is free to take an AP exam provided they can spend $100, the only plausible explanation is that fewer girls choose to pursue computer science as a major.

Alternatively, you could suggest that there is nationwide collusion between CollegeBoard and amongst computer science teachers to limit girls from taking the APCS test - and that no one has found out or exposed it.

Hell, the article itself ends with "It’s not entirely clear what effect, if any, this would have on the Equifax situation specifically, since the company has voluntarily limited the scope of its arbitration terms, although clearly it is a serious blow to consumer protections at large."

It's related to Balmol's Cost Disease [1]. Everything that is not technology is increasing in price relative to what employing those people in a high-productivity-multiplier industry would, and of course physical real estate is the ultimate in non-substitutable, non-automatable goods.

This is the same reason that education, healthcare, and other human services are eating more and more of the GDP: anything that can't be automated becomes dramatically more expensive by comparison with things like industrial automation and information technology.

We must push for the right of comprehensible ownership, not the right to repair your electronics. We must stop the consumer trend of not really owning things, but instead buying a license to use something.

Consumers don't keep track of every little law or right, and must rely on intuition to guide their sense. Ignorance of the law is a most forgivable excuse to forgetting you have some right or protection in the first place, and a "license to use" breaks a lot of citizens understanding of their legal relationship to the goods they acquired from the market, and the kind of protections their society offers them.

Most citizens don't imagine that they cannot repair or break apart their Ikea furniture. Of course I'm not saying that ordinary people want to break open their phones or laptops, but they may want to take it to a repair shop.

Ask HN: Rejected by YC? Did they even look?
I've just received the 2nd rejection letter from YC after applying for S17 & W18.

Looking at our youtube stats, I can see that our video was never watched.

This makes me suspicious that our application was ever looked at.

Anybody else see similar behaviour?

As a judge for another incubator, I can tell you I always at least start the videos.

We've got 50k users and revenue, so I'm not worried about the business, just don't want to waste my time applying for YC if we're never even given a look at.

I think you're missing the point of Inbox. It's not supposed to replace Gmail, not now and not ever. It's an additional way of using Gmail, hence why its full name is actually "Inbox by Gmail".

Inbox is an attempt to make Gmail easier to use for the average user who has simple needs, so all the "power user" features you want aren't supposed to be in Inbox. If your needs are complicated, you can just use Gmail. Inbox doesn't really introduce any new features that Gmail cannot do, it simply reframes Gmail features in a different UI and workflow. For example, Inbox's "done" action is available in Gmail, but in Gmail it's called "archive". Same with Inbox's "bundles": they're just called "tabs" in Gmail.

As an Inbox user, I'm pretty happy with the state of Inbox. I don't need extra features get my stuff done in Inbox. Porting every Gmail feature to Inbox is missing the point.

Unrelated, but even in the US, the standard deposit insurance "guarantee" is not exactly guaranteed. If a small insured bank fails, the FDIC can absorb its losses. If a large bank collapses, they might be able to cover losses, but only if it is an isolated incident, (like Washington Mutual). However if there was ever a large run on the banks (like in 1929), they could only renumerate small a fraction of insured deposits (at most 2% in 2017).

> consumers have chosen with their wallets on this one.

There are plenty of situations where we do not simply let the default selection made by consumers stand, because often that choice is suboptimal or intensely shortsighted. Particularly when economies of scale often push the preferences of a small number of early-adopter consumers onto the rest of the market, whether they have the same preferences or not.

More generally, expecting a consumer operating with very limited information, limited time, and limited interest and incentives, to make a purchasing decision that may have substantial unaccounted (and unpriced!) externalities is foolish.

We should stop treating the consumer's off-the-cuff decision of what to purchase as holy writ, given the many examples of consumers happily trading away the "right" to purchase shitty products in an unregulated market for higher quality products in a regulated one.

I had a postmates order cancelled after 8 hours -- twice. I went on twitter and saw a ton of other people having the same issue. They did no postmortem, no mass apology; instead, they offered me delivery credit. Yeah, that'll make up for essentially not eating dinner til after 10pm. I told them to delete my account.

Half the time my order was wrong anyway. Half the time they would delete the food allergy notes I added. 80% of the page loads resulted in a 500 error -- I basically just had to keep refreshing until something worked. Their UI jumps all over the place and deletes everything from your cart once you sign in.

I know you only asked about two of the competitors, but I just had to rant.

> unauthorized tampering

The rub is in who is doing the authorization? Increasingly it's the manufacturer, not the user.

That is a gaping chasm of a difference.

I don't think many people really want to punt on that to the manufacturer for the lifetime of the device; they just aren't thinking about the implications when they are purchasing it. The idea that they will almost certainly want to do something during the lifetime of that device, that the manufacturer might not want them to be able to, is a sort of buried and non-obvious risk, since what the manufacturer might allow is both subject to change and not necessarily clear upfront.

This should be on (e.g., researched) Thom Hartmann and Democracy now. It would also be good if Warren were to weigh in if this appears to provide cover for this oligopoly club member instead of allowing redress by consumers (e.g., every person with credit in America).
But doesn't this fall into economics? It could be that they are just biased, but giving them benefit of the doubt, they might have done the math and said "nope the cost to make the recruiting effort to these schools are not worth it"
I think the concerns come from the side of people (legal and real) that want to store data and perform computation on other people's devices without the owner being able to control things.

What do I mean by this? Anyone with a 'private' API, anyone who's business model involves DRM and anyone who thinks that a remote wipe of an unwilling device should be possible.
How to Setup the Moodle Cron
UberEats decided that I lived in the very center (i.e. GPS lookup) of my city for a booking despite numerous bookings before and after. This meant I had to drive in, park, and meet up with my my poor UberEats delivery driver who was on a bike and had no chance of making it to my place anytime soon.

UberEats drivers who accept delivery of multiple orders, so you wait for everyone else's orders to be cooked and delivered before your cold burger and fries arrive. This problem is exaggerated by either these orders being on opposite sides of the city or the delivery driver being on a bike (why either of these are permitted I have no idea). Have even had my order delivered to someone else and vice versa this way before.

In general, slow deliveries and the usual process of having to walk up the street to find lost/lazy drivers. The ETA always being wildly wrong (I get cooking delays, but delivery ETA from pickup should be spot on, and is usually off by 100%). Then add in general restaurant problems with mixing up orders, missing items, or selling food that doesn't transport.

Would happily pay $10 (maybe even $15) per delivery rather than the $5 they charge now if all of these problems went away (e.g. guaranteed prompt and direct delivery).
So I think for those of us who received the rejection emails right after 10pm were pretty much in the "for sure" stack and for those who haven't received it yet there's still hope.

Except this isn't true; there are many cases where inequality of outcome is not a cause of inequality of opportunity - unless you're telling me the system actively encourages men to die on the job - so much so that 93% of all occupational deaths are male.[0]

CollegeBoard testing statistics demonstrate that in high school, 2-3 times as many boys take the AP Calculus BC, AP Physics, AP Computer Science exam than girls.[1][2]

And as you probably know, AP exams don't discriminate against gender or race - they just need you to pay the testing fee (or the reduced fee if you qualify).

UC Berkeley's EECS major has a department ratio of 4:1 M/F across all 4 class years (CalAnswers - any alumni can check this if they don't believe me), and because of California law the UC system is not allowed to consider gender as part of admissions.[3]

Differences in gender makeup of engineering and computer science come down to fewer girls choosing to pursue the field, and not because the system is inherently biased.

Given these factors, if we are seeing 50/50 gender outcomes in tech at this moment in time, it is the result of a system that undermines the meritocracy by discriminating against males.

I think more graceful failure modes would be better as well. One thing that AI systems don't seem to do a lot of nowadays is quantify their failure level. Voice assistants always reply with the same degree of sureness leading to some silly situations that wouldn't occur with a human. (Despite them having a confidence score)

It's not that better and better solutions are bad but there are probably a lot more gains in mitigating failure cases. I think our brains may even have dedicated systems for potential failure detection leading to timidness. Failure is currently mostly defined as lack of ability to get the right answer, it is negatively defined. I wonder is there's any merit in positively defining failure.

Another way to think of it is if timidness/shyness, typically "negative" traits (especially in American culture) are actually features rather than bugs.
