Intent to kill was used as the original reasoning from parent's post which I refuted with logic and reasoning that was met with an attack on my character and "malice aforethought" which still requires proof that calling SWAT == calling HITMAN, was thrown without understanding the full sequence of events that led up to the event.

The victim was killed because he disobeyed direct orders from an armed officer. At the end of the day, this is what boils down to, not what he said or she said.

As I said, calling SWAT to somebodys house is not the same as calling hitman to whack somebody. Even in cases involving spouses calling hitman on their estranged lover, it takes an awful lot of evidence to get a malice aforethought and even more damning evidence to get intent to kill.

This is just the reality of working under a legal system that relies on evidence presentable to a neutral third party. If anything, the internet mob mentality will hurt this case as the judge will throw out anything related to the notion the prank caller technically called armed hitman, because the prosecutor will need to show evidence that the accused knew the target victim would willingly disobey armed police officer, which is impossible because the victim was unknown to any of the parties involved.
> Do men on Instagram contend with this many half-naked dudes and their butts all the time? I really want to know.

I really feel for this comment, as women are hyper-sexualized and we have a broken culture of stuff that optimizes for the male gaze, and so this is a common complaint.

But this isn't about sexuality, this is about insecurity. These specific ads are only showing skin so they can hit a weak spot in the viewer and break them down to buy stuff.

The same patriarchal cultural BS about what it means to be a real woman also exists as a pressure against men, it just leads to a different set of insecurities.

Example: I feel insecure about losing my hair. I still have hair... and it shouldn't really matter?... but it is thinning :/; and, when I think about it, it makes me sad.

(edit:) To be clear, I mean the kind of "sad" where every time I see myself in a mirror and every time I wash my hair and even if my hair falls a weird way, it hits me. It is an ever-pervasive "insecurity" in my life that I fight with every day, and where I am dreading what it will be like in another two or three years :/.

I manage to forget about it a lot, or even get to a place where I look at myself in a mirror and am like "this is fine... I don't mind how I look today, so I am happy"

But like, one day, I decided to research products and procedures designed to prevent or hide hair loss. I spent hours on it. I didn't end up deciding to do anything.

But the Internet remembers. The Internet now knows that I have an insecurity, and people with an insecurity are profitable. People like me are why ads make money :/.

So now, every few damned days, while going through my Instagram "stories", I am given a sponsored interstitial ad for hair loss prevention products and services.

Fuck you, Instagram.

There are many other potential body shapes that are healthy and fit. The point is that for most people, the idealized, photoshopped shapes in these ads are actually literally unobtainable. Only a very small percentage of the population can ever achieve these shapes, for a very few years of their lives, and under very specific conditions. And when your media is saturated with only those images of impossible bodies, and the implication that this is the ideal that everyone should meet, even though that’s impossible, then it becomes a problem.

That’s not what “computer codes” and “algorithms” mean.

How is putting in a ton of time in the gym every day, watching nutrition very closely, giving up drinking/substances that interfere with progression and working towards fitness goals consistently with discipline not putting in more work than other people? If his sister is doing these things, then she is putting in more work than most people and that’s why she probably looks good and she deserves to be commended.

Nothing you said makes a whole lot of sense. It seems like you wrote your post out of anger more than anything else.
Bra-free? I hoped we would finally be able to see titties... Very disappointed

> most people would check a jobs site or a rental site. Why would romantic relationships be any different?

That is absolutely a viable approach, and it's one that works for a lot of people. In fact, the two of us have just described "searching for jobs" vs "networking for jobs."

My point though was not so much to do those things to find a partner, but to get out and do things. Part of what you're looking for is not just relationships but (possibly) higher-quality relationships found through people who will vouch for those they're introducing.

For different people "Our matching algorithms say you're an 80% match with this person" vs "Hey, I know someone you should meet" will have different levels of credibility and acceptance.
We are using AWS Lambda in production heavily. It is basically an unhealthy hate and love abusive relationship. It works great for event triggering, cloudwatch events, sns topics, kinesis etc. when you combine them. However, the lack of ability to monitor it properly and the unflexible parts is a burdern. I hoped we were just allowed passing Docker images, and AWS handled request/input passing & provisoning properly.
I've been playing with NFC tags, but QRcode has been working pretty well for me so far.
if the ads make the user feel unhappy, then they are really bad

Are they "bad" by advertising standards, though? The history of advertising is a history of preying on people's insecurities.
Hey so, your argument rests on the assumption that the ultra-micro applies to the macro, which you've just taken as a given, and which is likely false. Even if it were given, there are further problems in there.

So that's not great, but on top of that, you seem to be solely using your bad argument to inject a strong opinion about a basically unrelated matter. The parent asked about methods of measuring how different analyses of macroeconimics lean toward working off of one theory or another, and whether there are hybrids, and it appears you are just advocating that one theory is clearly right and that you know how to fix the economy.

I even agree roughly with what you're advocating, but please, we should try not to do that. Your argument is bad, so you're kind of auto-wrong here, but much worse: you are not even wrong at the person you appear to be talking to. You're just tossing wrong into the wind here, and it makes your (our) position look bad, and cheapens the discussion, which has now become just pitched disagreements.

I say this overtly hostile thing not to harm you 'petilon, because I bet you're great, and I think we're on the same team, but both because we should do the best we can to argue well, and this is the real thing I care about: we should make sure that when talking we aren't just spouting partisan parrotship, but are seriously reading and responding to what others have actually said.

The parent asked a pretty cool question -- I hope it doesn't get lost forever under the weight of the us vs. them debate that is now dominating the thread after your comment unfortunately hijacked it.
I'm making an affiliate platform that only charges a commission on the commissions. It lets businesses sign up affiliates (bloggers, news sites, comparison sites, aggregators etc) and pay commissions for sales that affiliates refer. Commissions can be paid with a credit card and don't need a connected bank account or upfront funding (lots of existing affiliate platforms require this and have minimums).

The idea is that businesses who don't know yet if affiliate marketing will work can try it without too much upfront investment or commitment. If it does work, then we can help it grow with predictable unit-pricing. And if it does not work, then you didn't need to spend any money or do anything complicated to find that out.

We'll be looking for beta testers soon. If you might be interested in trying it out, feel free to email me: steve AT referberry.com

AWS Lambda, a lot
You odious, disgusting little man.
A fair assumption for sure, but HN will let just about anyone wander in without checking credentials. OTOH, personal experience says that lack of experience is often the root cause of thinking statements such as “just don’t use it” are at all helpful to the conversation. Often it is innocent, like the college hire I worked with at Microsoft who was complaining about a big customer still a version or two behind current Windows. “Why don’t they just upgrade?”

“Ever roll out an OS upgrade to 10K seats? Well, when you do, you’ll realize why they don’t ‘just upgrade’.” It was an innocent question, but revealed a lot of inexperience, and IMO, empathy.

But a lot of times it seem Mr. Grumpy Pants forgets exactly why they’re writing code in the first place, and laying the onus on the user is a demonstration of that.

Fat people are unattractive. I am fat and I am physically unattractive because of that. Thinking otherwise would be fooling myself.

Being attracted to fat people is a kink, not the norm.
Didn't downvote you, but I would guess it's because the post sounds like an advertisement.
There is big billboard outside my work ( and all over Chicago) that says " ulchaer tackles balding" with before and after. Before urlacher look some what like me :d. It's not specific to digital marketing .

You're absolutely right that the problem isn't unique to Linux, it was just the easiest example I had on hand and was relevant to the discussion. I could just as easily fire up a variety of programs on my Mac that feature different file pickers and GUI conventions.

Windows, as you point out, is kind of thrashing around when it comes to what it wants its GUI to be. I don't think the situation will ever improve there as Microsoft is very reluctant to break backwards compatibility.

> Wayland is very restrictive for many uses and actually lacks several useful features compared to X11 - some it pushes towards the applications in the stack (so instead of a single solution that is shared among -say- 1000 clients you get 1000 solutions), while other stuff are simply impossible (unless you are XWayland which gets special status, leading to the ironic situation that even under Wayland the X APIs provide you with more functionality :-P).

I will admit that I haven't dug into Wayland very much, but this is my impression as well. I try it (the Wayland KDE on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) periodically, but it seems a lot crashier than X.
This is also why it makes absolutely not sense to expect 'health insurance' to cover pre-existing conditions - it's not insurance if you know you already need it when you buy it!

(I think people should be able to get good quality affordable medical care for health conditions they already have! Just saying it doesn't make any sense to expect literal 'insurance' to cover it.)

Not really. They say that having random (ha) people in the picture improves the entropy, but they don't address the possibility of people using it to gain information about Cloudflare's entropy pool.
>If the general public starts to believe that there is an Android successor in the works, many people will stop buying Android devices until further notice.

The bigger danger is the response by android developers. Will you invest in a soon-to-be-deprecated Android Native app written in a soon-to-be-deprecated API (because, at least according to the Internet rumors, Fuchsia will be using Dart instead of Java and will have a totally different API), rather than just write it in Xamarin, Cordova or React Native?

And once your apps aren't written in Android API, how hard is it to port to, say, Windows Phone?

This damages their moat.
Jobs are automated because machines can perform them faster and cheaper, not necessarily better.

My favorite advertising sequence was on Hulu a couple years ago. First I'm shown an ad for Rogaine. I click "not interested". Then I'm shown an ad for Viagra. I click "not interested". Then I'm shown an ad for Victoria's Secret. I'm male.

It's like some algorithm is going "Balding? Nope, then you must be impotent. Wait, you're not impotent either? You must be a woman."

(Putting on my data-scientist hat, this is actually pretty rational. My actual status is "I'm just not interested in buying things from you", but this is a useless result to an advertiser; as someone not interested in buying things or paying for content, I'm irrelevant, so they can afford to piss me off in the hopes that they'll find someone who is balding/impotent/female and insecure about it, and I'm just a cost of doing business.)
Cool. Would have been nice if the article at least devoted 1-2 sentences to explaining PRNG seeds though.
Proof, no but strong evidence. Yes, companies fail all the time. Is that due to short term thinking - or simply making too many mistakes? Sure, there are companies that sacrifice long term for short term. Their market caps tank because investors aren't fooled.

But the overall growth in the economy and strong long term growth of much of the S&P 500 is ample evidence that investment is not dominated by short term thinking, and that the S&P 500 is not a massive pump & dump scheme.
I'm not attracted to fat people. I'm attracted to attractive people. And there are, amazingly, attractive fat people, despite the cultural norm we've internalized.

These self checkouts are nowhere to be found in the grocery stores chains (LotteMart, Hero mostly, same applies to the smaller sized stores) I've been in Indonesia, quite possibly due to relatively low wages for workers compared to US.

I wonder how long this will last though...
I've been building LiveFeeds (https://www.livefeeds.io/), a platform for helping online retailers keep their affiliate data feeds and ad networks up to date. Currently, many affiliates work from data feeds that are only published once or twice a day, leaving them out of sync on prices and stock levels for many hours every day.
I said PHYSICALLY attractive.
This has allowed me to keep my sanity (and for the most part keybindings) in the newer FF releases; many thanks!
The advertising industry will find a way to do that regardless of the medium - whether it’s Instagram or whether it’s a shitty blog with AdSense on it.

Your criticism should probably extend to the way the entire advertising industry conducts it’s operations and that’s a massive discussion with an incredible amount of nuance that we probably couldn’t do it justice here.

A place where musicians work on a song every week.

It's been super fun to build out. I started about 8(!) months ago and I've been working steadily on it ever since. Now we have a small and steady community and we've made a lot of really good music!
If you're not paying, you're the product.

How this caches out is that you will never be served the ads that are best for you. Instead, you'll be shown whatever the most expensive targeting options are for you, given the information the advertising platform knows about you. In this case, since you buy bras, it's ads for bras. Visit a coding bootcamp website and get tracked and you'll get ads for coding bootcamps - even if you're currently attending the bootcamp you're getting advertised for.

Practical advice: start doing a lot of online web shopping and trackable stuff for mattresses. You'll probably get ads for mattresses instead. "Interested in buying a mattress" is a very high-value category for marketers to target.
No. It has a user-visible idea of "capabilities" in the sense that apps get a checklist of things they can and cannot access, but that's not "capability based security," just another access control list.

Capability based security like Fuchsia has means that there is no ambient authority, or in other words no singleton resources. No fopen(), no connect(), etc. Instead, processes access everything through file-handle-like objects that are given to them by their creator, which can thus be sandboxed/mocked/revoked/etc without anything extra like containers or jails or VMs.
That's an interesting way of thinking about it. That would mean we are either already at an unimprovably optimized combination of lethality and inclination to use force, or that the real problem is police weapons are not lethal enough.
I hate how laser focused ads can be. I don't know what I talked about but almost all of my mobile Gmail ads are about meeting mature singles. Which makes no sense because I'm an immature spouse.
If I could pay to use Instagram without ads, I would do it in a heartbeat. I used to pay for Flickr pro but now all the cool kids are on Instagram so I post there. I cannot identify a single time in my life when I have been happy to see an ad. Why is there no option to pay for Instagram?
None of the women I saw in those pictures seem to have particularly unattainable or exaggerated physiques. In fact, they look like average, healthy body types easily attainable by regular diet and exercise.

Claiming that "only a very small percentage of the population can ever achieve these shapes" smacks as totally false to me. Do you have any data or sources to back that up?

edit: Would the downvoters care to contribute? I asked for some data or, at the very least, some sound reasoning for the claim that it's literally impossible for the majority of people to have healthy physiques.
Do some online mattress shopping. Load different mattresses into your cart and abandon. Etc, etc.

The internet might not forget that you care about hair loss, but the mattress stores will outbid the hair-loss companies.
Weird. That's one of the products I'd rather buy from a proper optician.

Hell I bought my non-prescription shades from an optician. Not interested in name brands but I do like a solid product
lostlogin posted some links to better stories, but the short of it is that the 50 hives were knocked over into the snow, which probably led to the tops falling off, etc. and the death of the bees. It's quite possible that there's not a huge amount of physical damage to the hives themselves unless they're large and heavy enough to have broken badly when they hit.
Report every “sponsored” shit content as spam, sexually inappropriate, inciting violence, etc. Just do it. If enough people do it, these assholes are going to feel it. Do it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.

Interesting that there's such a big difference. Do you know the make/model/material of your traditional lens, and whether they were freeform? If so, $200 is a good price. If not, would be good to know which non-digital lenses have low distortion with high prescriptions.

One of the highest quality (freeform) single vision lenses is Zeiss Individual. Costs about $300 online and $500+ offline, without frames. Very beneficial to high prescriptions.

I've not used Warby Parker so can't comment on their distortion level for high prescriptions. Did compare 39dollarglasses and Eyebuydirect, there was much more distortion with 39DG. Both provide 100% refund, no questions asked.

Essilor Eyezen lenses are digtially surfaced (low distortion), but have a small plus segment at the bottom of the lens, like a mini-progressive. They are available from EyeBuyDirect for about $100.
