The article seems to be missing what I think is the major reason why Japanese websites are how they are.

I think one of the major factor is how the IT industry works in Japan, and the process to build a website, an application or anything which involves software engineering.
A good majority of Japanese websites are not built or controlled by the company, but rather by what they call "System integrators", which they refer to as SIer, and these are quite different from the software/design agency we see in the US or in Europe.
The usual flow is something like

- Company A wants to build a website
- Company A talks to the SI company B
- Company A and B spend hundreds of hours doing meetings
- Company B's "System Engineers" write tons of specifications on Excel
- Company B asks company C to actually code the specification written on Excel
- Company C may then again delegate part of the system to company D, and this can a few more levels down depending on the size of the project

As nobody actually does the "building the service" part in company A or B, they usually do not have any designers, and therefore cannot give enough design related information to the company actually implementing the software.
However, the only incentive for company C being to get paid by company B, the quality of the work or the UI/UX does not really matter that much as long as it fulfills all the specifications written on Excel.

Now, some companies are starting to see that this model is quite flawed, and either recruiting engineers and designers of their own (e.g Recruit, a huge company in Japan owning many different webservices [1], has put a lot of efforts recruiting engineers and designers these past years). Some other companies start choosing companies which are closer to the software/design agency model - companies who actually do the engineering and designing part - but the SI model is still prevalent [2].

This post itself is a prime example of programming is writing, and writing is thinking. Some of the best programmers I have known have been philosophers and lit majors. Constructing and argument, telling a story, they all have to be broken down into cohesive parts. How many times have you come across code that is modeled after the style of a child where it just says, "and then ___, and then ___, and then ___" at which point it stops and says its over?

Until end users can construct their own languages, language designers have a long way to go.
After surgery in December I used some mix of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory for five days. Occasionally some painkillers if needed.

As a Norwegian though, I expect to get well, and only take painkillers when needed. I never pop painkillers when I have a headache, minor pains, etc.

I am a also a firm believer that when the time comes, I have a lesser tolerance and the painkillers will work better.

Regarding pain, if you feel it, you can work to resolve it. If you do not, how can you?
I've just started reading Robert Caro's "Path to Power", and LBJ's father took exactly this route to become a teacher:

"He had to quit going to high school because of health problems, and his parents sent him to live on his uncle Lucius Bunton's ranch in Presidio County, Texas for several months.[3] When he returned home, Johnson had ambitions to become a teacher; however, the Texas hill country at that time had no state-accredited high schools and no colleges. He learned that he could get a state-issued teaching certificate without finishing high school by passing a state examination.[3] In 1896, with the thirteen textbooks he needed to study for the exam, he moved to his retired grandfather's nearby home to study in quiet.[4]"

You could opt out of the public system, and get a private insurance company. But once you have done so you can never re-enter the public system. And private insurances are cheaper for young people, but significantly more expensive later in life, so much that you’ll end up paying several times more over your lifetime.

I don't see how they can do that. There is little qualitative difference between what you probably mean by "fake news" and the stuff that mainstream news outlet put out. To stay safe, Facebook would either have to refuse allowing any news content on their site, or else turn into a world's leading intelligence agency / think tank to validate all of it.

Same as in land surveying or any other discipline that requires state licensure. Some surveyors do have civil engineering or geomatics/geodesy degrees, but you certainly don't have to obtain one to practice surveying (state law varies). What's important is that you have field experience under the direct supervision of a PLS and can pass a very rigorous licensure exam that includes demonstrating a deep knowledge of property/boundary law, trigonometry, and calculus. There's no question about your competence if you can pass a PLS exam.
How we develop products for 3.2M users
In the 2011 Tuscon shooting [1] (the one where Gabby Giffords was badly injured), Joe Zamudio, one of the people who helped subdue the shooter, was carrying a concealed weapon and nearly shot the wrong guy. [2] Ultimately the shooter was completely subdued without the use of firearms.

The conclusion that I draw from this incident and many others is that it would be more effective to train people to take down shooters by hand, and there would be considerably less chance of serious collateral damage because an armed bystander didn't know what he or she was doing.

do anyone prosecute this kind of hacks? or just because is a token without legal status is like stealing Sheldon's gear in WOW.

This kind of pre-generated seed hack is quite dangerous, a lot of mobile apps, don't have deterministic build so you can't be sure the open source version is the same as the one from apple store, and I bet Apple won't do such a thoroughly search.
No, the real publisher is that dumbass Facebook friend of mine, who shared a "fake news" story. And that dumbass Facebook friend of yours who saw the post of my dumbass friend and reshared it further.
Right, you end up with this sharing to get around legal issues.

Technical issues are a bit different though. Australian intelligence does not have rooms in any AT&T building I think. Though perhaps they perform some legal tricks to give them access and then roundtrip the info.

I hope they at least feel bad doing so.
Funny.

> I strongly prefer 5 to 10 somewhat inconvenient minutes over having a numb jaw for a whole day.

I am not sure you'd say the same after 3-4 hours of treatment. I've done some root canal treatments here and there, which can take a long time. I'll take a numb jaw for a couple of hours afterwards over being in pain for 3 hours.

But I guess you're right, for 5-10 minutes of pain, it isn't worth it.
No. They would not have had the structural resources the Jewish community had.

I don't use pain killers at all, but headaches are sometimes the exception. I rarely get a headache (maybe once a month?) but when I do, I know that it won't go away before a good night's sleep. So I either go to sleep in the evening or take an Aspirin or something when I'm at the office. I just can't work or even properly think with a pounding headache.

That's not how I would describe the situation.

In America you can buy topical antibiotics at convenience stores, but you get a lecture if you ask for something stronger. Painkillers are prescription only and there's very little stigma for something like Tylenol 3.

In Australia you can buy codeine over the counter, but you get a lecture if you ask for something stronger. Antibiotics are prescription only but have no stigma.

They absolutely are. Just as soldiers invading another country are breaking the law in that country - they don't even apply for a visa! America imprisons foreign spies and so do other countries. Warfare, government hacking and spying are weird crimes that people everywhere support when their own country does it but not when an enemy does. They don't even care if they're right or wrong, just root for their home team.
Facebook is making this easier because it makes keeping with touch and finding people easier. But Facebook is only an incremental step forward here; the objection you're raising should be aimed at the entire Internet. It's the Internet that lets crazies find each other and organize; before Facebook, it was other sites, other services.

I'd go one step further - that's just consequence of better communication. You can't have one without the other. If you make life easier for everyone, you're also making life easier for the crazies, and for the bad guys. Personally, I'd still say it's worth it.
Yes through you may have left out the UK (with GCHQ) who do most of the spying for the NSA within the US, so as to ensure the NSA doesn't break any rules as they are permitted to take data from another nations department but have restrictions on local citizen data ;) they intern share data they gather on the in UK.

I agree with this.

I went to a private high school. I was not a gifted student in any way. I was actually denied by the school but my parents begged the principal so they give me a chance to study there (I learned these details years later). And it was actually a very enjoyable experience. Being smart was not something you hide. The sporty guys were the most popular like many other places, but there was no bullying because of your geekness.

I did one year of public high school (which I failed) before I went to private school. And the experience was a total different world.

I guess nothing has changed much haha. I was a teenager in the late 90s and early 00s; none of that existed. The only kids using computers then were interested in games, hacking on them, or using them for some productivity task.

How many people are interested in how cars work vs just use them to get around? Computing is just ubiquitous now but people who really care about how they work are still a small minority.
I think that basically the observer is considered "entangled" with a phenomenon after they have interacted with it. That's all.

The observer can be anything. You are you, so by the time information comes to you, you've become entangled.

I find this interpretation to be mostly wordplay. After all how can something be "real" if you can never observe it or detect it? It's sort of saying the theoretical construct "those other worlds" are real, but in what sense?

Bohmian mechanics makes way more sense to me.

Ask HN: Ranking from Images
For a given Item, I have dataset of multiple (varying amount) feature vectors describing the Item. For each Item, I also have a dataset of pair-wise comparisons, e.g.: Item A is preferred over Item B, etc.

How can I train a model to predict rank? For example: Given a new Item w/ a set feature vectors, predict it's overall rank, i.e. 5, meaning it's the 5th best. I know there is a wealth of literature on ranking from pair-wise comparisons, but I think the problem is complicated by the fact that each Item has multiple representations: each Item has a variable amount of feature vectors describing it...

Any pointers on where to go from a modeling perspective?
My first thought was to just group by Item and then average the feature vectors together. This would give 1 representation per Item and then I can do pair-wise ranking, but that seemed a bit heavy handed...

P.S. To put the problem in more concrete terms, the feature vectors are high dimensional vectors from the last layers of a CNN.

It's not about moral its about sales, if Intel were to start to tell the US gov directly about security loopholes in products they were still selling to other nations those nations would blacklist intel for life.

Just as the US would blacklist intel if they told another nation directly first. (this is even true if they told allied nations) we have seen that just being allies does not stop the US spying (and I'm sure does not stop the opposite as well just turns out the others might be better at keeping things hush hush)
This has been an interest of mine since seeing web designs from that part of the world. They have cool things like fixed footers with 10px font just to display quick simple site maps, and small ideas that would be considered taboo in the US / EU.

All of these things are doable without a blockchain if you have a third party you can trust for not cheating in the moderation, in the handling of micro-transactions, for not being bribed by internal or foreign agents.

Look at the fire twitter/facebook are under: Dems accuse them of serving Russian interests, Reps of being pressured by "deep state".

A blockchain-based moderation would be immune to this criticism, the data and algorithm being laid publicly, for all to see and check.
intel want to be able to operate all around the world and not be forbidden form non US markets if it is seen that they directly pass an exploit to the US gov so that US gov can use it to exploit into other nations systems then those other nations will ban Intel from sales. (even US allies would ban intel)

Thank you for your definitely insightful answer. Yes, now that you say it, they both tried to save me for these reasons. This makes sense. I guess there is no way such a person and I can really agree on this.

Though this is positive for me: they tried to save me because they liked me. I guess.

Unfortunately, it seems like I'm doomed. I cannot imagine that God (if exists) made us broken by default, defective by design. Why would Him, since he is good?

This is kind of depressing when you think about it and this is the opposite of what I think about humanity: I think most people are fine by default (even though I've already been assaulted).
Wait, what? Since when is carrying classical baggage a minus?

If we're going to play that game, I'll choose spooky action at a distance anyday, and say that space is just a strong correlation MOST of the time, but doesn't have to be ALL the time. I wonder how much classical baggage YOU bring by thinking Bell's inequality disproves something because nonlocal interactions are not possible.

What's easier to imagine - correlations between particles far away or many universes which are not actually real in any sense you can define?
Lawyers currently have one of the most bi-modal salary distributions of any profession. It seems to me that for folks who want to enter the profession doing low pay work that this should be a more supported and common path as law school is a ridiculous choice for someone who is going to make less than a teacher for the rest of their life. I’ve known a handful of public defenders in my time and almost all of them had some form of alternative support (usually rich spouse or parents).

Additionally, the UK has a hybrid system that seems to work well, and they also have two types of lawyers: barristers and solicitors. From what I understand it’s easier to become a solicitor, but your mostly doing small cases and family law and can only argue before certain courts. Barristers have a more arduous path, take more serious cases, and can argue cases in the higher courts. Seems like we could adopt a similar system (though it’s probably too late at this point).

I just looked at my ibuprofen bottle and it says to take one 200mg tablet every 4-6 hours. That's 800-1200mg per day, which is not something to worry about.

Certainly if you ignore that and take a higher dose or take it more frequently you can have problems, but assuming you don't have existing liver issues and aren't drunk all the time, you need to take like 5x (or more) the recommended dose to run into any trouble. If you're that stupid, you deserve what's coming to you.
I understand this is a buzzword that is overhyped these days and that by putting it next to deep learning I probably triggered many buzzword saturation thresholds.

I usually point out that there is only one thing that the blockchain bring: it removes the need to trust a third-party. If you don't need that, then you don't need the blockchain. I would argue that political discussion in the current climate is one of the cases where the absence of a third party of trust would be an advantage.

I think parent's point is that "fake news" is a negative externality of the same kind as pollution.

Which it isn't. Pollution is a well-defined term; you can identify particular offending substances or disposal methods by their impact on humans and their environment. There are precise things that can be taxed to discourage their use. "Fake news", on the other hand, is a pretty uniform spectrum, from the most blatant falsehoods to the stuff CNN and NYT write. It's hard to even agree on where to draw the line (personally, I'd draw the line at "journalism should begin and end at stating verifiable facts + opinions on those facts clearly marked as opinion", but that's an extreme/minority position), and there's no way to start quantifying impact.
It's expanded pretty far outside those realms already. Aside from the obvious ones like The Sims, Sim City, Roller Coaster Tycoon etc, sports simulators are huge (FIFA, Madden, Football Manager), cooking/retail simulators are big business on consoles and especially as mobile games (https://www.tomsguide.com/us/pictures-story/628-best-mobile-...), Euro Truck Driver and a million variations are making plenty of money, and I just came across Farming Simulator 17 - https://www.humblebundle.com/store/farming-simulator-17
I think you read the parent as saying "I expect that Python currently reports this as a type error", which of course is not the case. I suspect, however, that the parent intended something more along the lines of "Other things being equal, the better language would reject this as a type error."
