The Sears situation is just sad. I'm not sure why shareholders are putting up with it, except... most probably have just accepted the narrative that sears is dead, and are OK with the sell off and ... yeah, treason isn't a bad word. But... selling off assets you control to another company you also control would seem like... oh.. what's the term? Conflict of interest? I don't understand in the slightest why this has been allowed to go on. I can't imagine if, say, Target's CEO started cutting store budgets, then closing and selling the bad performing stores and real estate to another company the CEO owned, and then made a profit repurposing those stores to other companies. It's truly bizarre.
I assumed he was giving back doubled amounts at a small scale using borrowed money or whatever, then when he got a large sum he ran. But even if that’s what he did, I don’t know how he jumped from small amounts he could borrow to $242 million. I guess we will never know for sure how he did it.
I'm wearing someone else's shoes every day so I can give you a quick feedback of my experience. I'm trans, blonde, pass relatively well and on the feminine side. I have seen a drastic shift in messages I get from people online. I regularly get mansplained obvious things about aviation, tech, coding on social media. People don't assume I'm the CEO of my company or that I have anything to do with engineering anymore.

> Even assuming government operates as efficiently as private industry, we are talking almost triple the NIH budget to accomplish that

So increase the budget? If we assume the government would operate as efficiently as private industry, then it would be cheaper overall. The other option is for private industry to recoup the costs plus profits from society at large.

Obviously increasing the budget is politically difficult, but let's not pretend the current method makes any real economic sense.
gofmt choice of not breaking lines is due to the fact that new lines in Go mean an implicit semicolon unless there is a comma or another continuation.

To break lines, the formatter would have to refactor code, which is not desiderable.

> In fact HN is a lot nicer than a number of verified name forums.

HN is relatively niche, it's not mainstream. Even if a troll posts e.g. sexist or Nazi crap here, it will get no attention due to a lack of fellow Nazis to upvote and engage like on Twitter/FB/Reddit, and in addition both the userbase and the mods are quick in removing trolling, thus further reducing the "profit" that a troll can have from trolling.

Also, HN lacks notifications. No matter if upvotes, downvotes, replys, flags - you have to look yourself in your own thread history. This prevents the rapid heating up of discussions - and the lack of a character limit allows users to properly express what they're thinking, unlike Twitter, thus preventing misunderstandings.

Of course there is karma whoring, I won't deny that - but there's no way you get thousands of karma points/likes/rts/claps/whatever for a simple Fuck Trump/Fuck Clinton. For gobbling up karma on HN one has to write either high quality content or be the lucky one who first submits a link to a SpaceX success or a critical security issue.

edit: Oh, there is one other thing which explains "nicer" for me. HN definitely leans towards the leftie-libertarian side. Usually, hate speech, offensive insults, derogatory vocabulary, discrimination, pointless trolling and other aspects associated with "unpleasant environments" are found on the right-wing/authoritarian/alt-right/gamergate/masculist spectrum.
Tesco stores in London are removing from self checkout kiosks cash payment. A middle size store in the City, two sides of a aisle, left accept cash, on the right the machines only accept cards. The card only kiosks were all vacant. On the left, backing up a frustrated queue tailing behind me another twenty people at least, were a dozen self checkout kiosks, all confounding anyone's ability to pay for any goods. With the random completion of the process, the queue for the cash kiosks became chaotic. It was about 11pm. The store was otherwise almost empty. In other words, people were able to"do all their shopping" quickly, and then spend considerably more time being pissed off, probably like me, also unable to price see several items before getting to the kiosk, which is not a uncertainty I much care for.

At the kiosk, I realized I needed a carrier bag, and asked for one, none being visible. "A ten pence one is fine!" I said hopefully, the mandatory five pence ones nowhere. "We've only those." He said, pointing to one pound fifty fancy bags. Off I went, my basket left behind me. No sale.

Last night. Another Tesco store. This one has had random kiosks changed to accept card only. So I asked, as I approached the head of the queue and was told... This store doesn't accept cash. Another abandoned basket.

I have been able to complete less than half of every attempt at shopping in the second of those two stores, walking out each time over two years. Sainsbury's stock was paying ten percent dividends,last I looked. I see a classic long - short position.
Somewhere someone could be selling your data for money. I can imagine the below happening. After all, all corporates are hand-in-glove with each other when it comes to public's privacy.

This is probably what your ISP is doing. Take your MAC Addresses, try to find the phones in your house which is connected to the wifi, take those MAC addresses to all the telecoms, get the SIM card number and the phone number associated with those MAC numberss, send those phone numbers to the banks to find matching bank accounts and the associated credit card number, along with your registered email address, get the purchase history from the bank on the credit card number, compare it with your browsing history and sell all of this to another company and make money.

I like the "Team Kapwing" mascot, I think that's a good approach. I also have a chat widget on FormAPI [1], and I don't like pretending to be someone else. I looked through some stock photos [2], but it just feels wrong to me. I also don't like the "automatic popup" setting, so I turned that off. Those really annoy me, so I struggle to see how it could lead to more customers. But maybe I'm wrong about that.

At the risk (ha!) of a bad car analogy, I've experienced a similar feeling when I was regularly doing used oil analysis on my car. One day the analysis came back and told me I was getting elevated levels of metals that indicated abnormally high bearing wear. From that point forward I worried needlessly about when the motor was going to croak, and I realized that I was not willing to preemptively rebuild it just because an oil analysis showed a higher risk. So it was good for nothing except higher anxiety.

Moral of that story -- I sold the car about 100K miles later and it was still just fine. I've never bothered with the oil analysis since.
From an evolutionary biology perspective the stakes are totally different for different for men versus women.

For men reproduction has almost no consequences (biologically speaking) while for women it can be life threatening. Men are biologically advantaged to make as many passes as possible until they are able to mate while women are advantaged to find the best mate possible. I think it is fair that this shapes the lens in which both sexes see unsolicited flirting.
> Men generally don't catcall or fondle strangers' bodies either.

But vastly more men catcall or grope women than the other way around. That's the issue.

> It's a general projection, "why would anyone do that?".

To assert power and dominance (both attributes that are part of the common definition of "masculinity" in western societies).
>There's a special case on housing expenses. There aren't enough housing units in many areas for everybody who wants to live in those areas. So, the price goes up, and this acts a as a crude filter for how bad you want to live in an area. There is no rate of UBI that will cover housing expenses in such an area

No, but UBI would enable people to move out of that area to areas with cheaper housing and fewer jobs.

I can imagine quite a number of economic migrants from the North of England who currently live in London would decide to return home and live closer to family in cheaper locales if their overall economic situation was a bit more secure.

That would, in turn, put relieve pressure on the housing market in London and provide some economic stimulus for more deprived areas.

>This inflationary pressure probably won't apply to food, because the supply of food is a lot more elastic than the supply of housing. That more people can afford better probably means that more good food gets sold, and perhaps some scarcer foods might come under pressure, but the supply, and thus price, of things like rice and carrots is unlikely to go up.

I think the price of organic carrots and rice would probably go up a lot. Their supply isn't particularly elastic (and is constrained by access to cheap labor... whose price would go up under UBI). If you give poor people more money one of the first things they will do is try and buy better quality food.

McDonalds would probably take a hit and would likely have to shake their image up to attract clientele in much the same way they did in Australia (where, thanks to a high minimum wage, people at the lower end of the economic spectrum have a higher disposable income): https://www.businessinsider.com.au/mcdonalds-in-australia-vs...

Usually, anything you can install a third party firmware on like openwrt, dd-wrt or tomato (shibby's version of tomato is the one I used the most).

However, I gave up on consumer hardware and went with Ubiquiti for wifi AP and Mikrotik as my router. It was a bit of a pain to set up all my NAT rules in the Mikrotik router because unfortunately consumer devices do a lot of extra work behind that scenes (like setting up NAT reflection) to facilitate having NAT work painlessly. I'm perfectly content with the end result now though.
> Tell me again how this self-admittedly "non-rigorous scientific study" proves "sexism is everywhere"?

By itself, this article doesn't prove that, it's only one more data point in the vast unending ocean of data points that prove it.

> It could easily by that more attractive profiles results in more interactions and receive the same proportion of sexist responses.

You're imagining something fairly contrary to what the article said, and to what many other examples and studies have shown. The primary factor is the gender of the recipient, and while the article is not rigorous, it demonstrated a greater percentage of sexist comments for the more attractive female photo, and demonstrated a near zero percentage for the male photo.

> For all we know the sample could be entirely edgy 12 year olds.

That, um, doesn't count as sexism? If it's all 12 year olds, we still have a problem. Maybe a worse problem.

Out of curiosity, you seem to be arguing that sexism online might not exist, yet it's a huge problem, easily demonstrable and widely known. What's preventing you from acknowledging the issue?

I am judging by this statement in the blog post:

In Bengali and Oriya specifically, a ZWNJ can be used to force a different vowel form when used before a vowel (e.g. রু vs র‌ু), however this bug seems to apply to vowels for which there is only one form

This seems to say that the ZWNJ has a meaning before vowels that have different forms, but the crash happens with vowels that only have one form, where the ZWNJ has no effect. Maybe I am misreading?

Can you elaborate? How easy would it be to test AMP pages for that?

> That “I, Robot” movie was garbage; absolutely nothing to do with the Robot series

Indeed. Wasn't the rumor that "I, Robot" was originally a script called "Hardwired" (or something like that), and that the Asimov-specific elements were pasted on top of it at the last minute? Regardless, the movie is trash and goes pretty much against the spirit of all Asimov ever wrote :/
If these are really just edgy 12 year olds, then I don't even see the problem in their behaviour itself as much as the fact that it's not possible to identify them as just edgy kids. It's probably not that they need to find out what they are doing is wrong, they probably even know that already, but that they find out that it doesn't make them cool or special or in any way better, which is what they most likely believe when they do stuff like that.

A woman (or man, for that matter) who really gets distressed by being insulted by a 12 year old kid certainly shouldn't be the norm, and I don't believe they are. If every one of those chat messages had a button to "forward this to their parent", they would look completely harmless, but with the anonymity the internet provides, they are just chat messages from what could very well be a 30 year old man, making the dumb prank of an even dumber kid seem like way more than it is.

What I think would be interesting is some sort of age statistic, because I expect at least two thirds if not more of these messages to be from people under 15.

And since somebody will undoubtedly interpret this message like that, no, I am not saying all online harassment can be dismissed, only the large majority of it.

I was 12 in the 70s, and don't remember any boys talking to girls like this. If they did, they'd probably get a slap in the face, if not by the girl then by the teacher if overheard.

One big difference is that there was no access to the sort of degrading pornography that is just freely available today. A 12 year old boy in the 70s might be able to get his hands on a Playboy or maybe even a Hustler but it took some real effort and those magazines were tame compared to the porn today.

This is the case of the least denominator in management"thinking". If managers were legally liable to shareholders for obviously bad decisions that benefit to the managers, it might occur less. Only Sweden makes regular management liable in this way, even on criminal penalty. I see all manner of arguments why this could be used to excuse sclerosis in innovation, but frankly I don't see it that way.

There are literally businesses out there that gives you a snippet to embed in your site, and then they employ all the tricks of tracking to give you email, name, address, etc.

Right now it seems that all you want to
hear is 'it's a great idea!'.

No! If there are counter arguments, I want to hear them!

The more replies I get without counter arguments that convince me, the more I get the feeling this actually might be a good idea. Because if everybody tries to discourage me and all the arguments are just 'feelings' then maybe there are no hard facts that speak against it.

For example you said that you would steal the idea for apartments with long beds. This is an interesting argument. Because it made me compare Google trends for 'hotel with long bed' and 'hotel with view'. I also did that for 'hard floor' and all the other parameters you mentioned. And I saw that the demand for a view is by far the biggest.

My advice to you: if you ask for an opinion
you either say 'thank you'.

Thank you!
