I know this is a popular resource, and I can't argue with the author's conclusions on what he points out, but I am CONSTANTLY let down by Google Maps' choices of which buildings to visualize and label. Apple Maps does a WORSE job of showing every building but a vastly superior job of providing context and labels that make sense to me. I've looked at Google Maps views of areas I know quite well and been completely unable to 'place' myself there and understand what I'm looking at, because it's so detached from reality. I obviously am not good at putting this into words, but I encourage you to look at a local shopping district in the same level of zoom detail on each and compare.

EDIT: Because I'll rightfully be criticized for not providing examples, I took a few screenshots of the movie theater complex in downtown Redwood City. In the first example, showing several blocks, Google shows 3 businesses by name, and one unlabeled restaurant. How on earth is this the gold standard? Apple Maps shows VASTLY more business names, far more detail on buildings, etc.

For the second set of pictures, zoomed in to the theater complex itself (1 block), Google shows VASTLY more building detail about things I simply don't care about -- it's all one structure, there's no way to walk between building units, so why do I care which one is distinct? Google makes it look like there's an alleyway there, and there simply isn't. Sure, maybe it's an internal hallway for the parking garage, so congrats for having that detail, but it's not helpful as a pedestrian. Again, far fewer businesses are listed (though their locations are probably more precise/useful because you can tell how many units are between each, where apple's are sorta thrown around for no reason (no, Vitality Bowls is not actually on the sidewalk, it's in the building like the others). The Google map does get credit for making a more prominent display of the Redwood Downtown 20 and XD movie theater which is the bigger landmark, where Apple might leave you wondering "hey, what's this Sagamore Enterprises building all about?"

Just an example, but this happens to me ALL the time. I am constantly finding that Google isn't giving me the most important information, and then sometimes goes into excessive detail on something that either doesn't matter or is totally misleading.

That would be a great feature. Where I live Waze usually decides that the quickest route is through a series of side streets through less than ideal areas in the city. There should be a way tell Waze that there's a reason few cars pass through there

Alright, it might be time to finally jump on getting a privacy filter.
Low-Carb proponents don't necessarily disagree that 'a calorie is a calorie' in the physics sense. We just feel there's no need to be hungry when you can eat to satiation and still lose weight, and that unnecessarily high glucose in the bloodstream is not good for you anyway.
You can leave it running in the background to do this while routing with Google Maps in the foreground, it'll call out speed traps and hazards and police with it's voice in the background
True; however, they may be very different practically. Few people are going to measure calories for every single thing they eat. Most will rely on the sense of hunger and urge to eat certain things. I wouldn't be surprised if low-carb diets outperform low-fat ones in that department, since carbs tend to keep people urging for more through rapid blood sugar fluctuation.
Some time ago I was surprised that https://airbnb.com was serving me a revoked certificate. Then still when I checked a few months later.

I furrowed a brow and thought to myself, "this, from a company with lots of hype and accolades". But OK, certificate revocation is not very well implemented around the industry, so maybe just an honest mistake.
The S K I combinators were developed as the equivalent of assembly language for functional programs.

In reality, expanding a lambda expression into SKI combinators takes up a lot of space. Since the notation is mainly for language implementors, using the short mnemonics allows you to compress the size of the resultant expression.

It's the same reason why the x86 opcode is named 'mov' not 'move'.

France is about to try this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/11/france-to-ban-...

Yes I'd support this.
Yep. I recently met a team working on this stuff at the Allen Institute for Cell Science. The problem space is huge and the field is totally in its infancy.

If anyone is interested in this work, check their job site. Last I heard they were looking to hire a programmer to help write the sim. Cool team + science.
Nice! my account came out pretty ugly :( and took nearly 5min to generate.

It used to suggest I make a left from a tiny DC side street onto a 4 lane road with cross traffic that doesn't stop... During rush hour. Technically a shorter route that avoids traffic, but only faster if you're a driver with much less concern for personal safety than I.
So I was told at your last conference that your going to be going to a RHEL instead of the current Ubuntu. I can’t seem to get an answer on what the timeline is for that. My director is signaling to look at other options and I really don’t want to do that. I mean will it be in next 6 months? We are looking at a huge commitment.
I’m surprised they haven’t added an always on microphone feature to the app yet. Some like, “Hey Waze- Pothole!”. I doubt the majority user base would care about Google listening to your every word.

I don’t use it myself and get downright scared when a driver starts flicking the app to report a pot hole. The privacy aspect might be worth it vs dying in a car crash.
Stride's WYSIWG editor is really unpleasant (and had several showstopping bugs which they're only just ironing out).

I have an open ticket to have a profile option to disable it, but ...crickets.
Let me check what the problem might be. Shouldn't happen.
> Yes, but my model will be finished long before you have discovered your fourth parameter

This attitude is one of the issues I encounter among data scientists which limits their impact in business to lower ticket decisions (like individual recommendation systems) vs. bigger budget allocation decisions in business and the same is the case with physics. Being able to explain drivers and protecting against catastrophic overfit failure is much more important than getting a great predictive fit in a limited dataset.
> like in the article where caching in the original code made it slower!

Caching could have been originally faster, but became slower thanks to the continual improvement of the Javascript VMs.
What I like about Waze: All the data other than the route itself, he location of speed traps most importantly.

What I like about Apple Maps: The actual on-screen navigation experience. I find it’s the clearest about which lane I need to be in.

Waze is terrible about weirdly-shaped intersections and ramps, both in the maps themselves and the instructions about where I need to be to turn/exit.

If you think all the alleys and left turns are annoying, that’s nothing. On I-270, outside DC, it often has me bouncing back and forth between the local and express lanes, for no reason. Probably because some other user nearby in each lane is going a slightly different speed.
This is an iPhone app. How are you running it on a Note 5? And there is no signing in necessary. Are you sure we are speaking about the same app?
> I wouldn't be surprised if low-carb diets outperform low-fat ones in that department, since carbs tend to keep people urging for more through rapid blood sugar fluctuation.

This is exactly why low carb has works so well for me. My cravings for snacks become virtually disappear.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Also, to do this across 12 months definitely means that 90% have dropped out after 30 days and shouldn't be counted. Those that treat it as a short term diet are bound to rebound. In the end you need to see this as your permanent way of eating.
>The trading firm would then pay the farmer months or years after.

What is the incentive here for the farmer though? Why would they go along with this rather than just sell their beans at the market price?
Ketosis can apparently lead to more weight loss because ketones are less efficient vehicles of energy in general. Additionally, unused ketones can be eliminated through sweat, urine, and breath.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-experimentation_in_medici... seems like a subtle topic; as the article points out, a number of these experimenters died or were seriously harmed by their experiments, while others were celebrated for their discoveries. (That's not to express an opinion on the value or foolhardiness of some recent self-experiments is.)
It's AMOLED. I can get somewhere between 1.75 and 2.75 days, depending on how much I actively use it (and presumably, how much my movements cause the full face to light up). According to Watchmaker, my face has an OPR [1] of 5.5% bright, and 1.3% dim (idle) mode, and I leave it in 'always on' mode (where it is in the 'dim' mode most of the time). If you use a watchface with more stuff on the screen, battery decreases. If you change the face to turn off instead of dim, you get a lot more.

I've never had trouble getting through a full day and most days it has 50-60% left. If I'm not wearing it, I stick it on the charger (magnetic) which is always sitting beside my bed. I will say if I travelled a lot, the extra hassle of worrying about charging it and not forgetting/losing the charger would probably make me not bother with it, but I only am away for more than a night a handful of times a year (and either bring the charger, or wear a different non-smart watch).

calorie intake and expenditure is a description not a prescription. this is about as useful as saying "make more money than you spend" in order to become wealthy. sure, that's true, but it won't help you make $10 million. how do you eliminate the desire to waste time and money on useless pursuits? that is the analogy we need to use to reframe this discussion. yes, there is a certain level of maturity and self-control involved, but you need to know what NOT to do first.

what is causing people the intense desire to overeat, and the intense lethargy that follows? probably insulin-spiking processed carbs and sugar. have you seen anyone in the throes of a carb addiction/crash cycle? it's damn near supernatural the amount of power these foods have over people.

at this point i consider them about the same level as cigarettes or alcohol. cheap, widely availabe, intensely addictive, and people who don't have a problem just telling you to "use less", "it's so easy". okay. sure.

"how do i graduate college?" "take more credits than it requires to graduate."

try telling this to the person who got sucked into the for-profit university and is $50k in debt.

Apparent to what evidence?
Have you guys seen the MyIRE.com (My Integrated Research Environment) platform?

It solves a lot of these problems.
Waze once took me through the roughest parts of DTLA, with dozens of homeless people in the street. Now my protocol is to immediately check the alternate routes to see 1) how much faster is the first choice and 2) Is it a zig zag off/on freeway or random streets just to save a few minutes. Common sense from there for enjoyable driving.
It sounds like a variant of sharecropping to me.
> AMP has a whole suite of technical limitations that are unrelated to the problem being solved. For example they limit pages to 50k (pre-gzip) of unlined CSS rather than allowing stylesheets to be linked.

How is limiting size and server round-trips of CSS not related to the problem being solved by AMP?
> If you need real time there is IRC.

The problem with IRC is that you cannot get chat history of a channel unless you configure a bouncer to do it for you. On that note, what's your opinion on XMPP? We used to use a XMPP server for internal company communication and the server was configured to replay the chat history to a client when it connected.

> Otherwise, just setup a mailing list.

That has a similar problem to IRC which is that new members cannot easily access messages sent before they joined. A better option would be an internally hosted NNTP server.
While HTTPS is being burned into the architecture of the Web, I have a humble question to ask: what is the dear HN community's next-best-option in a scenario if letsencrypt dies/gets sued/goes under/servers not accessible anymore?

I ponder on this question seeing how Google is planning to increasingly depreciate HTTP. While in general, I welcome the security upgrade, the lack of next-best-free-options makes me vary of this config change locking us into a $$$paid-only web publishing system.
This is essentially a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16424813 (which links to the corresponding github page, which then has a link to this paper)
Exactly. The good old "eat less" diet works, but is not as sexy as all the fad ones.
I've found even 50g still too high.
Its an all around bad design. Not really a UI problem, its more of a state / workflow problem.

Its levels upon levels. You keep having to drill 2 or 3 levels down, but then lose the context of the higher levels when you do. For instance, when you finally click on a property, this now opens a new tab. But now this property tab doesn't show a map...so if you are looking at 4 properties, you now need to keep the "main map" page open so you can manually cross-reference what properties are where.

Effectively its impossible to get anything done with having 3 or 4 tabs open all dedicated to Airbnb. Love the service and the places I wind up finding, but their website really needs a re-think.
While I support the idea of device control the EFF is pushing here, are we really expecting the company to go "Oh, then let me jailbreak that for you" and then take the software team off the current job to release the custom firmware/bootloader etc? I don't have an answer for this one, but I think expecting the company to spend money is not the best way. Much better would be ditching this garbage law and requiring right to repair so the initial release had the requirements built in.

Nice anecdote - was there too. Don't think we can hold nav apps accountable in these extreme circumstances. Just not enough data for them to extrapolate. I studied my route while driving in from Washington and thought about pinch points on the way back and possible mitigations. Used gmaps real time traffic and did pretty well coming back north - following gmaps routing would have been bad. Oh, and then WSDOT closed I-90 for blasting. Glad I missed that.
What put me off Jupyter is that it can't do dynamic text. I can't link to a variable in the code, such that the text updates when I run the code again with new parameters. This would be a great feature for demos/presentations.
That result is literally what this study is saying they didn’t find.

Perhaps you can make the argument that the study is flawed statistically or that 12 month weight loss is not long term enough or that the diet sessions caused the lack of difference?
30% of a 2000-calorie diet is going to be 150g of carbohydrates per day. Not very low carb at all.
This has been my experience, and I wonder if part of the efficacy of macronutrient-centric dieting is about cultivating self-control. That would be an activity that would be hard to measure in a study where the participants know they’re participating and have a sense of duty to remain committed. Healthy low fat vs healthy low carb will yield the same results, roughly, with the same caloric intake. Any macro combination will, really. But carbohydrate restriction is something I’ve personally found to be a good way to stay on the rails.

I am all for criminal justice reform - and I said as much in an earlier post.

But if "I only want to read a study and consider no other facts". What should we "believe" other than studies? A few anecdotes? If there are some systemic issues caused by government policies - and there are plenty with the criminal justice system - I'm all for reform. Reforming the criminal justice system is about less government not more.

I'm reminded of a song by Cake; Tougher Than It Is. [1]

Some people are so high-strung and high-maintenance, I don't know why they do it to themselves. Perhaps their career path rewards this behavior, and they become so obsessed with success as defined by their career, whatever that means, that it becomes their entire identity. Because the way Thayer is approaching life sounds a whole lot like the way people behave in corporate america. Thayer Prime would probably benefit from eating some mushrooms in the forest.

edit: By mushrooms I mean the kind that educates, not kills.
I think "declarative" exists on a spectrum. There's no clearly defined line between declarative and nondeclarative that I know of. For instance I would say Haskell < Prolog < SQL are on one end of the declarative spectrum, but in each case you do end up reasoning about the underlying execution model.
It's a bit surprising that the number of degrees burning your food will raise the temperature of water is related to weight gain. I find it more surprising that this simple relation has withstood the test of time.

Yep, because as that demographic becomes the majority they will then be forced to move from an ad funded model solely or perish.

This exploit might be defeated with the following css:

input[type="password"] {
background-image: none !important;
}

And if the exploit uses `!important` then you just need to make your selector more specific such as putting it inside an id. If you have malicious javascript running on your page there are better ways to steal data. I feel there is low risk of coming across this problem in the wild.

Good point. I should have described more clearly to make the link that AMP is Google unilaterally exerting more control over the web and making it less open.

If a CDN introduced this, they wouldn’t have the massive market position that Google does. So they’d have to either propose a standard and get adherents or just add it to the pile of stuff that isn’t used. Google is different because of their search dominance.

But I think this that Google is turning into more a controller who isn’t concerned with open standards. The keywords thing was just an example of how much AOL sucked when Google started up.
Hydroelectric probably wins on cost benefit ratio. Or perhaps geothermal?
2 years ago I went on the (rocky & dirt) forest "roads" in the North Georgia mountains with my Jeep, and at the top of the dirt trail, I encountered a couple of hikers who drove their rental Nissan Versa into a mud pit. They had blindly followed their GPS and were completely stuck. I was too busy helping them get out of their predicament to notice exactly what they were using but I know that it wasn't Apple Maps (they were on Android).

Actually, Apple Maps will refuse to route me though any of the forest service "roads" and shys away from unpaved ones (though I've found exceptions). Only if I set a intermediate destination in the middle of the forest will it route me through those trails.

Back in city/suburbs, I've found the same as the author, in that Apple pads the time with a few extra minutes. I appreciate that realism because it only takes a few poorly timed traffic lights to add a few minutes to the estimate.

I suspect there is some logic around building padding around lights at large intersections because I noticed that when the destination is right after a major intersection, that padding remains until I clear that intersection—and that doesn't seem to happen when the destination is much further after a big intersection.
ACME is a protocol - I imagine most of us are hoping that, should LE fade off, one or more others take the reins and implement it.
For me, the easiest way to eat less calories is to eat a low-carb diet. The reason is this: my typical meal consists of three parts; meat, vegetable, and starch. The least healthy and highest calorie part is the starch. Cut the starch, cut most of the caloric intake.

Besides, if I cut enough carbs, I get into ketosis, and then I stop being hungry.
