Double reply, eh? - I've been doing my job. Sorry I can't drop everything to respond to you on HN.

As I said it's not exactly under-reported, that was your cue to search and find something like: https://fullfact.org/news/how-many-fit-work-assessments-are-...

And (to address your other comment) I assume you aren't being literal with your specific example (because the guy you were responding to didn't literally mean people were assessed on their ability to walk to a shop specifically), but yeah there have been reports of people who can't walk very far getting told they're fit for work (For instance this guy: https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/photographer... from earlier this week)

Where's your evidence?
I feel your pain. I've been travelling for the past 6 months, and have become the world's foremost critic of booking.com's UI in that time. That site, despite dominating the entire planet when it comes to such things, has no option to select [x] I REQUIRE A DESK TO WORK FROM

It's unbelievable how far gone these sites are from scenarios like yours and mine, and it'd be so easy to fix up.

Or they lack any understanding of the areas they market. I'm currently in Kathmandu, can I filter hotels by those that have a heater and hot running water? Of course not, but sure, I can filter by 100 options like "Airport shuttle", "24/7 front desk", and differentiate between a "hostel" and a "lodge", or whether the room has "soundproofing", 99% of these of which every hotel will tick yes to.

Another pain point -- WiFi. There are 100 ways they could measure this, but not a single one implemented, even a sliding "how shit was your connection? during the review, or, say, a surreptitious "How was your check-in?" e-mail that runs a miniature JS speed test in the background

Another travelling scenario - short term contracts around London. I don't care where I sleep, I care about rail and bus routes _only_. Can I search by that on any site? Of course not

Meanwhile I actually built a niche site around that last one, but it can't stand on its own -- it'd never become popular or turn any kind of profit, the only hope is that a big site with roaring revenues like Booking.com would somehow see the need, and spend a few working days worth of developer time on it. But that'll never happen, because the improvement to their bottom line would most probably be minimal -- I'll still use booking.com whether or not they implement the feature, because there are so view viable alternatives in this sector

Ok, but do you think those 12 year olds are going to all grow up to be well behaving adults? Or maybe the problems with this kind of sexism are starting very young. If you are right then the solutions still need to be addressed, but we need to start earlier.
It's not quite anonymity, its ephemerality.

People know that their actions will never come back to them. An anonymous but long-standing account will see less of this than a throw-away account.
The problem is that it meaningfully degrades the experience on every other non-getty image.
With async/await you can tell from the type signature whether a given function might suspend, and then reading through the body you can see whether each function call is a non-suspending one or a possibly-suspending one. It makes it really obvious what's doing what. If suspension is your only effect then it probably doesn't matter (one unmanaged effect is ok), but when you have other effects that might interact, having all the suspension points be explicit is really useful. https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2014/02/unyielding.html gives one example.
Some time ago there was a write up about a very similar problem, in B2B context. It was not about chat, but about email. The experience was quite similar as described in this article. [1]

CPU is rarely an issue for me, but disks are a constant source of annoyance.

The turning point for me was when I got a new PC at home that has an SSD. I used to think people exaggerated the benefits of SSDs, or that they were just very impatient. ... Now I am spoiled.
The argument (which I don’t necessarily subscribe to, but I too, am no economist) would be that the inflation leapt by such bounds that it directly cancelled out the entire UBI grant.

If that happens, then UBI is pointless.

> I'm using the net (As a guy) for 20 years now ...

Early on people said "There are no girls on the internet," and the sentence was supposed to embody the anonymity of the internet and the renaissance notion that a person should be judged by the merits of their arguments and not the labels attached to them. Someone claims to be a girl? No, you are talking to a middle aged dude having a chuckle. Maybe I have rose tinted glasses here, maybe it was always jerks saying there are no girls on the internet.

It morphed into "Tits of GTFO," because, given the anonymity of online dialogue, it seemed to some pernicious few that the only reason to mention being a woman was to seek attention.

Online dialogue grew vitriolic, "Its only the internet," trolls would throw at anyone trying to inject civility and good manners into flame wars. "I f'ed your mom," became a bit of a goto for a general passing derailment since it got to most people. If OP mentioned any detail about themself, (racial, gender, age, relationship status, mental issues) this was used to make more specific insults. Moderators struggled to keep up.

The networks got faster, streaming voice became possible on games. Voice isn't anonymous. The online dialogue started giving away details (age, sex, socioeconomic background), when team mates in pick up groups got frustrated with one another they started to reach for the sexist, the racist, the particular insults. Women learned not to speak up in chat to avoid the onslaught.

A lot of us became inured to that "12 year old claiming to have banged our mom last night", but those ridiculous insults take on a nastier edge when that "12 year old" knows details about your life. If you regularly game with women, you will see it. The mere fact that people believe there are so few women gamers is due to their fear of speaking up, there are more than there appear to be on the surface.

I do think the insults become more frequent when the jerks know you are a woman. They also know you are inured to the generic insults. Few women are inured to rape threats I think. I'm a bit surprised Eric didn't get racist comments in the OP's unscientific study.

I'm happy you haven't experienced the internet as I have, it has always been a nasty place and a lot of us sat by and pretended like it was different than real life as if there weren't real live humans behind the keyboards. I've been guilty of that. I still don't know what to do when I encounter such nastiness, much to my dismay.

How big is your dataset?

I'd expect the logic backing a legacy/old school company like this would turn out to be an expert system. If that's the case, and you have a LOT of data, you'd likely get very far by just feeding a bunch of SCHUFA applications and resulting scores into SKL's decision tree classifier.

They are easy to visualize, they likely model what's going on behind the scenes, and it takes very little effort to give it a try.
The article at http://qi.com/infocloud/horses gives a figure more than twice that and offers this additional bit of info:

"Dead horses were unwieldy, and street cleaners often waited several days for the corpses to putrefy so they could more easily be sawed into pieces."
How do you plan to do that? Which bits of information can you gather that allow you reverse engineer significant parts of their process?

In my area none of them provide reliable internet service, most of them enforce some censorship and have poor customer service, and all of them perform the legally-mandated surveillance.

I highly recommend LibriVox audiobooks for listening comprehension. My German had deteriorated greatly from when I was living in Germany and I decided I wanted it back so I listened to Anna Karenina in English and German, chapter by chapter. Wonderful book, beautifully read in English and in German. LibriVox has Don Quijote in English and Spanish though I can’t speak to the quality of the reading.

And LibriVox is free.
All I know about Algol 68 is what I just gleaned from Wikipedia, but there I got the impression that what it had was a limited form.

One thing I really need is getting at "the type field". This is useful information by itself, and I want it most of the time - but I think in Haskell it's not possible to get at it without manually defining a "type type" and a function that computes that type from a given sum-typed data.

I don't think that lambdas/closures have such a problem in most programming languages. It's still unclear how to handle function pointers for lambdas/closures, but it should be a lot easier to make a lambda into a real function than changing a datatype definition when it's already used across the codebase.

So, I think sum types are really another one of those ideas which may prevent some bugs sometimes, but in the end are not generally super useful, and are just a little too clever and end up causing a more work than they save. At least unless there's a well-defined representation from which we can extract the type information, in which case I'd probably be happy to use them.
The other answer to that question "Maybe someone took umbrage with the idea that Asimov stops being interesting after 14?" did added something to the conversation.

Young girls are primary demographic for reading. While it is true that 8 years old are not there, 14 years old already are. Majority of what is in bookstore is appropriate, maybe boring, but I don't recall running into something super inappropriate while randomly browsing bookstore.
Do you remember how sexist were the 70's and the 80's? People who were 12 back then turned out just fine, considering that we're even discussing this, didn't they?

I was thinking just that. Target audience of 12yo boys, who are "parked" by their parents with a tablet, with no control, no supervision, that are left to 'self-educate' in the wild-wild-west of the interwebs, and their responses are quotes and memes, will definitely do that.

On the other hand, a 35yo educated person, that just wants to make something silly for ther corporate 'yammer', will definitely NOT insult or waste time in any other manner.

To be more precise, eliminating convenience rather than removing the feature as a whole is preferable to removal, not an "improvement".

As an aside, I've often used "View Image" to access the image when the page itself didn't contain it. This actually hurts not only user experience, but also the actual success of the platform at its intended purpose.
>...there must be some other reason.

If Getty can successful sue them, then any image rights holder can do so. Making an exception for Getty images doesn't resolve the underlying general liability or infringement. That means if another rights holder were to sue them for not addressing that liability for their images, now Google are infringing wilfully and subject to punitively increased sanctions or damages. That's reason enough to apply this remedy across the board.
Note that the UK already has a system of housing benefit which covers (most of) the cost of accomodation for people on low incomes. That may be a separate issue.
>I don't see how you can stop it triggering inflation to the point that the UBI sum becomes useless to live on

It will trigger inflation not only because there will be more money chasing the same goods, but also because wages will rise (if UBI is enough people now have fuck you money) which will have knock on effects on the price of goods up the value chain.

However, the idea that it necessarily has to trigger inflation to the point that the UBI sum is not enough to live on is wrongheaded.

First of all, it might never be set at a level that is enough to live on. E.g., typically when a Silicon Valley billionaire talks about UBI they almost always mean "take all welfare and redistribute it to everybody in the country". That will do jack shit - it will neither raise inflation nor give anybody enough to live on. If it were set at a level that was enough to live on it would hurt - for them. They'll fight that (I dont think people realize that this means that the political support for "real" BI is really very low).

Secondly, rich countries with rich economies would be very likely capable of absorbing the economic shock of everybody having fuck you money - economically I'd do more or less the same thing I do now (write software) if I had fuck you money and I'll bet most other people would too. People aren't going to sit on the couch and vegetate. They will largely still want to build, to be useful and to contribute to society - but hey, iPhones might cost $1,400. Meh.
Honesty has a cost.

>and that true anonymity doesn't exist either

Yes it does, you are mistaken. An IP does not identify you if it's a proxy server or a VPN or a Tor node. All existing tracking methods can be fooled.
Yep. But that somewhat matches recent UK policy (lifetime ISAs, for instance). I think the logic goes that the (currently) middle-aged have benefitted disproportionately from house price rises. Which might on average have a degree of truth to it, but such gains are far-from-uniformly distributed, and mostly still locked up in illiquid assets...
Wow! Looks like an awesome opportunity for the personal design portfolio site.
No, society tolerating those vocal trolls does mean that society is sexist.

I used to be a welfare benefits adviser. Even under the old system, I saw absurd decisions that were overturned on appeal. Under the new system of ESA and PIP, assessments have become a complete farce. ATOS/Maximus assessors have no real training in health and social care and appear to be incentivised to reject claims.

The stricter regime for both ESA and JSA has created a dreadful gap in the benefits system - people who aren't sick enough to claim ESA, but too sick to claim JSA. Many people with health conditions that vary over time are refused ESA because their condition is quite mild at the time of assessment, then repeatedly sanctioned on JSA because they become too sick to keep up with their jobseeking activity obligations. There appears to have been a particularly severe impact on people with mental health conditions and learning disabilities.

Our benefits system has become overly complex and extremely unforgiving. A relatively minor error can leave someone completely destitute. The services that help people navigate the benefits system are under severe pressure due to austerity cuts. I'm no bleeding-heart liberal, but I think that our benefits system has become callous, unreasonable and ineffective in preventing poverty.

The only problem is that 90% of the time the image is removed from the site ! The image is often still hosted, but has been removed from the page content.
This is very annoying!
So the next step for Google is to actually make sure the site still has the image before including it in the search results.

btw Text search has the same problem, but is less annoying because we are so used to web sites not having the info and will just continue searching.
It's extra annoying with images because we then actually knows it has the image we are looking for, but then it has not. It's like when the information I look for comes up in the site description, but when I visit the site it's not there.

I guess this is a hard problem to solve, but would improve the search experience a lot. One idea is to have the browser fetch the site content and do a full text search on it before it's displayed in the search result. Could be done with a browser extension.
