There is no way another person doesn't get emotionally invested in their role the only difference is your paying them to put up with your shit and pretend to be your ideal one.

That's a pretty bad deal for both to be honest the client gets a fake they may even fool themselves is real (as they did) and he basically goes through all the bad parts of a relationships without being able to complain.

I kind of agree with faking it to keep up appearances like fake weddings for a lesbian daughter or a fake father so the school doesn't complain about something that is none of their business to begin with since Japanese society is the way it is but long term fake boyfriends and the like can't be healthy.

Well maybe some people are ok leading a fake life but personally if I have a void in my life that motivates me to fill it instead of patching it with a temporary stop gap.

It's the same reason I fix the cause of bugs in software not patch the symptoms they create. If I didn't do that I wouldn't be much of software developer.

We're swift to ban accounts that post like this on Hacker News. It's so easy to dismiss all the flags and downvotes as, "people don't like jokes here", but the reality is that people don't like dumb, inflammatory, vacuous comments of the kind you find swarming around the rest of the internet like flies around your dinner.

People are here to discuss intellectually interesting things. Please let us eat our dinner.
Whatever it ought to be, it should start by supporting more than 25M transactions a day.

I hear people preaching wider adoption by all means, but none tackles the limits.

I apologize, but it looks like the proponents want money in, and scarcity remaining.

The difference is that GraphQL was designed to be used like that, so it is relatively easy to limit what capabilities the client can use. SQL was not designed to be used like that, so for complex queries it will be very difficult to verify that the client isn't doing something that it isn't allowed to do.
Python. The most important part of leaning to program is to start building things. You can build your first thing in an afternoon with Python.

> There is no requirement to invite someone someplace just because you are going there yourself.

That wasn’t the effect you were demonstrating above. It was more “you have to invite [friend A] if you invite [friend B] from the same social group, unless you want [friend A] to think that you value them less than [friend B].”

Which is sometimes obviously what you want them to think—if you have known [friend B] for years and you’ve just joined the group that introduces you to [friend A], then hanging out solely with [friend B] (in a way that [friend A] will find out about, like by inviting them in front of them) is a way to assert that you’d like [friend A] to get to know you better, because you’re still not at the level where you feel comfortable adding them to your more close-knit friend group yet.

The problem comes when you’ve just joined a group and so only know everyone equally well (i.e. not that well), and yet only invite some of the group members somewhere anyway. This reads like the signal above, but without a justification: the people you chose to invite out did nothing to “deserve” the choice, and there’s no obvious thing (like more shared conversation) that you’re signalling that you’d like out of the people you didn’t invite. It can seem like you’re just sociopathically playing members of the group against each-other to win your favour.

But that’s really the only scenario where this applies: when picking a subset of acquaintances, from a shared group, to do something with that is usually reserved for friends. (It does come up a lot, because a “pool of shared acquaintances” describes a school pretty well. But it’s not nearly as much of a “thing” outside of that.)
I agree that writing in a fast, compiled, statically typed language is not necessarily premature optimization. It is my first choice for a new project in the absence of any other mitigating factors.

There are often mitigating factors, though.

And switching from an existing language to use a new one that is possibly more optimized carries costs that have to be considered. If the new implementation shaves a few percent off some time or other resource scale, and the sum of that savings over the life of the program is more than the cost to do development and maintenance it's worth it. But that often isn't the case.
Me too. It would be a completely believable title for an article upvoted on Hacker News.

Because by getting off Facebook, you end up missing a lot of what you are used to. If your life and your friend's life is not on it, this won't affect you. But if you and your social network has let Facebook grow as a dependency, you can't easily get out of it. The only way it could work is if you manage to migrate your entire social circle off it and it won't happen.

By getting off Facebook, you simply make yourself hard to reach and it will make your casual relationships rot and die. When my friends create an event, they click "add all members of 'amazing friend group' to event" and that's it.

Nobody is going to then track down the one person who decided to leave the group for a casual event like "5-7 beer this Friday". Even for big events, you may end up being let out simply because you have made yourself harder to reach.

Sure, by leaving Facebook I would still be able to see my 2-3 closest friends and partner but that's it. Nobody in this day and age is going to send an email to me asking to come to a group event. Hell, I don't even know the email addresses of my closest friends, let alone our extended friend group. I can't even imagine how I would organize a 20+ Christmas event without it.

As a NJ resident, I've been curious to see what the next Governor would do to fix the broke state's budget. Interesting this article doesn't discuss the economic benefit that would result from it. Right now state & local taxes are just being raised each year instead.
You simply don't ship. Enterprise deep learning doesn't ship their training code - large models are trained on purpose-designed, dedicated hardware. Hardware compatability doesn't matter, software does. Even that's flexible if it's significantly faster.

(The models can be executed on low-powered, commodity CPUs. No need for any GPU there.)
What strikes me first is the comment above the function :

Following distance adjustment could be made unnecessary with a relatively minor software improvement, where the distance is made more dynamic than it is currently. I'm pretty sure the main reason it doesn't automatically adjust the set speed when the speed limit changes is because it's not sufficiently confident in its knowledge of the change, so it could go away once the system gets better.

With the current state of AP2, the Model 3's controls seem to be a bit lacking, but they should be sufficient once relatively minor improvements come along, no need for anything like full autonomy.

Would like to have seen an opioid-ibuprofen combo in the mix. Or ibuprofen and acacetamenophine each alone. For the class of injury described, swelling and inflamation will be very common, and ibuprofen is better suited than acetamenophine for this.

Class of injury is very important too: limb injuries producing acute pain are more likely to be a type where time, even just 2 hours, will have a leveling effect on pain, while one class or combination of drugs might provide better instant relief.

Finally, we have these short term acute pain examples and long term chronic pain, but medium term acute pain in the range of days to weeks might be a primary area of risk for new addictions where a patient requires more than a few doses but doesn't ask the patient to shift their outlook on how they deal with pain and adjust to it that chronic pain patient may have to do, with or without opiods. If the pain is short term in this way, the potent opioid pills can be seen as a quick fix that doesn't take as much effort as rethinking "acceptable" levels of pain.
I think that the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3123(d)(2) were introduced by Bush as part of the Patriot act, after September 11, not by Obama. One might argue that Obama abused them, of course.

There's a great New Yorker article [1] from April that talks about this specific example for trying to make machine learning methods to spot melanoma from pictures. What I learned (as a non-physician) is that ABCDE is what you tell the students but after seeing hundreds of examples in person, the physician does it by some impossible to describe criteria that are far more nuanced. The question really is can a machine out perform that impossible-to-describe function? You might find it interesting.

But Jewish conspiracy is easier to grasp and deal with.

> Bitcoin has the potential to actually change the world

Statements like this are, IHMO, the driver behind the BTC hate. It's the pure hyperbole typical of the tech scene.

It's not world-changing, it's just a payment processing platform. The decentralized aspect is interesting, but doesn't add value for most use cases. Venmo is free, super easy to use and there's little risk of my Mom permanently losing all of her funds from the account.

For the general public, the only thing BTC has changed in the world is it has given hackers the facilities to extort them.

My first UK passport was applied for using a paper form submitted at a local post office -- this was pre-widespread Internet. The person in the post office could advise that my photo met the technical requirements (size etc), but couldn't verify my identity.

The most recent renewal was done with an online system which produced a single page PDF declaration -- the rest of the data was only electronic. I printed it, attached my photos, signed and posted it. The new passport was delivered two days later.

You can see the application process: https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport

I think the same applies for a driving license, but my first still has some years before expiry.

Minivans are being used in these trials because they can carry multiple people to different destinations. That's the only reason. Minivans suck.

Imagine a boat owner. They need an F-150 with a trailer hitch, plus the wiring for the boat trailer's lights. So if they want to move their boat around, they need to wait 20 mins for something they can currently do right now without waiting, without dealing with network outages, with the ability to tow something heavy.

Look at the sustained performance of a Tesla S at Nurbergring. Towing takes a lot of torque, and will kill a battery like a Tesla. Plus the car needs to be able to get a bit wet/muddy sometimes.

Check out this article [1] (or video) on Dan Schafer's talk, on how they use Dataloader and GraphQL internally at Facebook. Covers most of it.

To summarize, they create a class for each GraphQLType which has their own "gen" function such that it is the only way to generate data. This way you get a single source of truth.

There's also a video of Lee Byron going through Dataloader's source code which was pretty fun to watch.

> but why is it hard not to use facebook for people? It's a serious question. Everybody I know (me included) who is not on facebook has no problem with it, and it certainly isn't getting harder.

You'll get left out of real life. If your social circle organizes events on Facebook, and you're the only weirdo that can only be contacted by email and phone, you'll be forgotten by all but your strong friends (who don't need Facebook's friend-menu to remember you).

That might not be a problem if your social circle doesn't rely on Facebook much or you're (for instance) an introvert who doesn't care about parties thrown by acquaintances (which are a nice way to meet new people), but there are a lot of people who those don't apply to and who would have to sacrifice to avoid Facebook.

A lot of handwaving but little substance.

This sort of presentation makes for nice kindling but unfortunately not much more. In the end, your voice is unfortunately 'public'.

There is no difference between this and muttering too loudly. If someone hears you asking the voices in your head to quiet down, you would not think to blame them for violating your privacy by listening.

Eventually we will all have to re-assess what we accept businesses, government, and private parties knowing and doing with what we say. It is also a reminder that what we do (our body motions) will be up next for recording and analysis as motion, cameras, and facial recognition become more prevalent (iphone X).

> Her response was "just take the pills."

There's a fairly big camp of people both online and in real life that is strongly against questioning medical authority. I've encountered it before.

For example (and I know this is purely anecdotal), after doing a few hours of extensive research and photography comparisons online I came to the conclusion that my sister had shingles. I mentioned this to the doctor when I took her and he dismissed it and said that it is unlikely since she is so old. I mentioned this on a subreddit that I frequent and a bunch of people jumped on me and told me to stop doing my own research and to let medical authorities do their job without me pestering them. However, after taking her to a different doctor, he immediately recognized it as shingles and prescribed her the appropriate medicine.

On the one hand, I get why doctors don't want the "ignorant masses" doing their own research and coming op with cockamamie theories, but on the other hand, doctors can only hold so much information in their heads whereas the internet has vastly more information available and I can become an expert in one tiny little niche fairly quickly.

> Google shares represent a stake in Google's revenue stream. It has an intrinsic value [...]

I'm not up to date on Google specifically, but for a long time in its existence, it did not pay a dividend, so its shares did not represent a meaningful stake in Google's revenue stream. Did they have an intrinsic value anyway?

But regardless of your answer to that, my statement stands. If everyone holding Google stocks suddenly started selling them off, the price would crash. It's just very unlikely that it would happen. More likely for Bitcoin? Maybe, but people have made this doomsday argument for quite a while now, and so far it's not proven right.
