I'd add the direct link as a parent comment if I were you so people can vote it up, as this is what I found and used earlier after discovering the reason for the disappearance. For those wondering it does actually include a userscript version which is appreciated.
Recognising the correct option from multiple choices is recognition, not recall. Recall is significantly harder and leads to more and better retention st the cost of greater frustration.

Personally, every other week I find myself writing a comment - sometimes long - and then deleting it a minute later, after re-reading the comment I was replying to and realizing I completely misunderstood it, and/or was arguing against a strawman of my own creation.

One time the next-tier tech shut off my WiFi while I was troubleshooting with the entry-level phone support; I hadn't been warned this was an option or would happen so it really rubbed me the wrong way.

As a result, in your world and mine, the press now has to fear secret reprisals should they offend the wrong billionaire. It is now more dangerous to report on the powerful. You can't fight them with your free speech, because you can't even know who's financing the campaign against you, or even that it's happening.
One aspect of Universal Basic Income (UBI) debate which remain unanswered for me is the question of meaning & purpose.
Most of us derive our sense of purpose from our jobs. In a future with UBI and Automation where will derive our purpose in life. I think this will dictate the future of UBI more than the intrinsic merit of the underlying idea.

In my opinion, not unreasonably for these two reasons:

Banks generally delegate responsibility for huge sums of money to quite a low level in the organisation, and their clients are usually much smaller than the bank is. There needs to be some kind of parity in the apparent seniority between client and bank. The CEO of an SME doesn't want to be dealing with someone who sounds junior when discussing deals regarding the total value of their company.

Banks are so large and complex that it's usually not far off the bottom wrung of the org chart that you're responsible for huge sums of money/risks/contracts. People in smaller organisations with similar monetary responsibilities (in absolute terms) are usually the senior ones with senior sounding titles.

For example, I was a lowly infrastructure engineer in a tier 1 global investment bank working in the platform engineering team not far off the bottom of the ladder, yet I was responsible for infrastructure spending decisions in the scale of 10-100 million dollars. A drop in the ocean for the IT budget of $5Bn dollars, but a larger monetary responsibility than the CEO of a mid sized company has. So yes, I was called a VP.

It took ~30yr for good, fairly cost effective aftermarket, fairly generalized ECUs and transmission controllers for automotive applications to come about.

The same will probably happen to tractors and whatnot. Since the cost side of the equation is far different for business and the problem has already been solved in the automotive space so it may happen quicker once it starts happening.
Seconded. I use it with the go-bindata backend and Postgres driver. Some notes:

- Migrations are written in plain SQL, so there may be portability issues if you need to support multiple DBs. (Or you need to write the same migration once per supported SQL dialect.)

- It does not `CREATE DATABASE` for you when applying the first migration. For my app that uses Postgres, I wrote some extra code to do that. Feel free to copy if you like: https://github.com/sapcc/limes/blob/ab4245a8f195672b808f990f...

In my experience it's pretty rare to get the VP title in less than 5 years. In fact in my graduate intake nobody did it in that timescale. Good people would get it in 5-7 years.
I concur. I am finding the level of conformance rationalisation in here almost as shocking as the original blog post. My previous comment on this thread merely expressing my shock at the article and stating that we would not condone anything even mildly approaching it on our site got downvoted!

For science articles, yes. That took a lot of lobbying and complaining.

On law/crime articles, they don't link to legal judgments. That's partly the fault of the British legal system for not publishing a lot of that material. But there are plenty of times when it is available and it doesn't get linked to.

In the comment sections the author claims that Sublime text uses a fork of GtkTextView. Is this true?

Here's the relevant bit:

> Open Sublime in a hex editor, there are gtk debug strings everywhere, along with gtktextview/edit strings too. It's as "home grown" as a fork can get really. Some searching should bring up more evidence.
> No, society tolerating those vocal trolls does mean that society is sexist.

Actually that just means society tolerates trolls. You're showing your bias by jumping to the conclusion that everything is sexism or that somehow antisocial and immature people only target women.

Furthermore, western society actually holds in high regard concepts such as frer speech, which covers idiots being able to say idiotic things.
This guy sounds awesome. If there are any aspiring screenwriters out there this would make a great movie. Think Catch Me If You Can but more modern and international.
Reminds me of a great (now-deleted) tweet I saw a few years ago: "Everything is legal if you scale it up." Convert the cash to assets, then convert the assets to political clout---at that point the cash heist is in the rear-view mirror...
No one ever mentions the 0th law, which was probably the most important, at least in the books.

Almost finished reading the entire Robot/Empire/Foundation series. That “I, Robot” movie was garbage; absolutely nothing to do with the Robot series.

The Union of Int and Int is exactly Int; the Sum is not.

The union of two types contains all values that are in either component type. The sum of them contains all of the values of the first type, each one associated with a tag like “I came from the left side” plus all of the elements from the second type with a similar tag.

The Union of Bool and Bool has 2 values, the Sum has 4.

If we define Maybe[A] to be the process of unioning on “null” to the values of A then Maybe[Maybe[A]] = Maybe[A]. If it’s defined with a Sum then that equation doesn’t hold.
Business diversification. Yandex has its own taxi service (btw they've bought Uber on territory of CIS). Yandex just like Google is an ad selling company (90%+ of their revenue is from selling ads), and tracking users' geo location is the way to sell more expensive ads. They also charge money for rides and take fees, so ad selling + fees = big money if they can scale taxi service in the future.
I’m not sure if the problem is that the average HN reader doesn’t believe that sexism is everywhere or if the problem is that the average HN reader doesn’t believe that sexism as it exists today is a large, interesting problem that needs to be solved.

I would love to see this experiment done as a function of time of day in the user’s IP location. There have already been studies showing higher rates of abusive behavior towards women from low-status males[1] and if internet activity follows general population entertainment consumption trends from television we can infer that there is a higher likelihood of someone being low-status active on the internet during daytime working hours.

Well, that is not exactly news. The forced disconnect every 24 hours has been around as long as DSL (in Germany at least), so you would need to pay extra for a static line.

From a principal point of view, it is very annoying, practically it has not been sufficiently annoying for me to do anything about it.
>> Not because the feature is gone but because they are daft enough to assume that they can sell this as an improvement to their users and anyone will believe it.

Imagine how users would feel if they said "We're making this change because people keep ripping off images via our search. Since the public can't be trusted to follow copyright law, we're not going to make it so easy to break."

I'm sure the public would eat that s* up and ask for seconds.
Sorry but I do not understand Google's hidden motives behind this. Can you elaborate?
If FB gives up on the EU market, then they've opened a massive weak spot for themselves. Social networks benefit from the more connections between people.

If FB leave the EU, then some EU company can copy the software (we know what kind of features people want), and this company will be able to operate in EU and USA, but FB will not be able to operate in EU, giving this EU company a massive benefit and safe harbor.
Thanks, yeah, that's a useful insight. I guess it's rather a moot point with Go anyway since you have multiple goroutines executing on multiple cores at once.

I think other sites could follow the Getty precedent and sue Google so they have no choice, at least within USA. Still, the PR spin in the message is just funny, it really made me feel "empowered" and "excited" :D

DDG still works anyway, so it's not like I have no choice if I need to quickly find an image.
The "inflation" also primarily happens at the bottom of the market which decreases inequality.

A a poor person earning 10k a year gets 10k. total: 20k
A rich person earning 100k a year gets 10k. total: 110k

Inequality has shrunk from 10x to 5.5x. That's a massive improvement.

Well. That's a bit of a circular argument.
For some reason, reading this I had to think of the old movie "Brewster's Millions", as if this guy, too, had to get rid of all the money.
An embarrassing admission, but one that is potentially useful for this conversation: I have a Cisco CCNA cert that I got in 2009 but never used. (Got a job that didn’t put most of the knowledge to use, and the cert collected dust.) IPv6 was on the exam. I’ve forgotten all about how to use it.

For me it is just not as intuitive. Maybe others think the same, slowing adoption? I didn’t find it intuitive when studying for the exam, but I got it enough to pass.

Basic networking knowledge I still have. I can tell you how to set up a DHCP and DNS server, and how NAT works on your router. I can tell you about ARP tables, VPNs, VLANs, firewalls, and subnets. I can’t begin to tell you about the equivalents on v6.

Maybe I’m just getting old. Maybe it would come to me once I started using it again. Or maybe it’s just not as intuitive.

I recently listened to a podcast with the founders of a startup by the name of Aerial (https://aerial.ai) that that is doing real-time location mapping and activity detection using wifi and deep learning.

Episode description:

In this episode I’m joined by Michel Allegue and Negar Ghourchian of Aerial.ai. Aerial is doing some really interesting things in the home automation space, by using wifi signal statistics to identify and understand what’s happening in our homes and office environments.

Michel, the CTO, describes some of the capabilities of their platform, including its ability to detect not only people and pets within the home, but surprising characteristics like breathing rates and patterns. He also gives us a look into the data collection process, including the types of data needed, how they obtain it, and how it is parsed. Negar, a senior data scientist with Aerial, describes the types of models used, including semi-supervised, unsupervised and signal processing based models, and how they’ve scaled their platform, and provides us with some real-world use cases.
excellent find, but there's valuable data in those previews; namely the size of the original image. especially useful when trying to find a particular image of a particular size. unfortunately that extension bypasses the preview.
It is positive to see stripe is voluntarily doing this.

That said, the analysis ignores net emissions (positive or negative) that may arise as a consequence of how stripe's business impacts their customers and the overall economy and environment. This impact is plausibly dramatically larger than any of the categories like servers or employee travel that were accounted for.

E.g. thought experiment: suppose your business helps other businesses lift their revenues by selling more stuff to "consumers". Suppose these other businesses have a profit margin of around 20%, and your service is priced at around 10% of the value that it provides your customers.

Then if your business has a revenue of $X, this revenue is created by generating about $10X of value for your customers, which in turn is their profit margin from your helping them increase their revenue by about $50X. So the obvious direct and indirect greenhouse emissions generated by your business with $X of revenue (including energy use, renting servers, flying employees about the place) are likely going to be insignificant compared to the change in greenhouse emissions generated by whatever change in economic activity was triggered by the $50X lift in customer revenue driven by the core purpose of your business.

This change in economic activity could be hugely negative from an environmental perspective (eg if your customers advertise and sell unnecessary physical stuff to "consumers") or perhaps positive (e.g. maybe you audit your customers and only take them on if they sell products/services that have a positive environmental impact compared to alternatives).

It's probably a bit rough to expect individuals or business to be able to assess and measure this- it'd be much easier everyone participating in these economic activities agreed to a carbon price.
I'm not saying they need to let the world know. But don't actively tell them on a daily basis that the company is in excellent shape and everyone is safe and secure for the foreseeable future.
I guess the "lexer hack" probably has something to do with the lexer refering back to the symbol table to disambiguate things like typecast and function calls? Ie T(x) and f(x). Certainly there are other ambiguities that this particular hack may not resolve?
While it would be cool to cut down on such presentations as you describe, I would hope that even PHB style architects can right click, or use the dev console, or pull from cache.
I think those chat boxes are rude. Here I'm am browsing the web in my underpants and some dude sneaks up on me like "hey, I see you are visiting our site! Wanna chat ?". Instead make it so that the user needs to make active action, eg clicking on a link to start the chat.

> One animal [the horse] was so decisive in shaping human history...

What a Western-centric view.

Entire human civilizations developed for centuries or millennia, without horses -- they really don't conform to the phases of "pre-horse, horse and post-horse" because they were never "horse".

It's possible (although ill-conceived and wrong) to argue that there is no history and no culture outside of Western civilization; but then one should make an argument about it, not simply ignoring immense parts of the human adventure.

But I'm not suggesting they tell everyone the company is in dire straits and they are on the verge of getting fired.

But they were offering the (mis)information on an almost daily basis.
