And if environmental regulations were removed, many industries would be better off too (at the cost to the world). As a user I LOVE amp because it loads faster than your crap page and doesn't bug me with interstitials.

So yes, if AMP died, you'd better off, at the cost to the users

And save me the sob story about how only some publishers suck. I don't care. You all lost our (user) trust with your interstitials and crap ads and sites that took minutes to load. Game over, with many thanks to Google.

Our abusive relationship with you is over. We the users hereby walk away and will never take you back. Stomping you feet won't help.
> Being able to write code in the mathematical rendering

I wonder, what do you mean by this? You mean it's possible to write code in the Out[] cells in Mathematica? (is that possible?)

Or do you mean writing math in the notebook?
As you know, it's anecdotal, but this may be down to rising interest rates!
Waze, does have an option to avoid dirt roads, it works great when you have random dirt (pot hole filled) road as an alternate route to work that you never want to take at least. It is for some reason hidden in the settings, and not enable by default.
I'm an introvert and am an NF type, and I'd generally agree with you. It's not the city, it's how you approach it. If you don't have friends find something to do and they will come. But you have to have the courage to make the first move. If you don't, who will?
Favorite part of this is perhaps the banner requesting money after the end of the article. A generic subscription website mocking a generic LinkedIn rant.
Agreed, I don't mean 'fork' in the sense they took the code and went their own way, I mean 'fork' in the sense they took all the IP and lessons learned and reimplemented an OS/2 they had sole control over.

Connections certainly help but aren't required. You need grit and a solution (or an idea of a solution) that's solving a pain point worth paying to alleviate. Ideally 10x better and cheaper than what's currently in the market. At first, you will be the salesperson and you have to realize that comes with a lot of rejection.

Not strange at all. I’d really like to have more friends who are women, but social norms make that hard to do. Most women I hang out with are my wife’s friends or friends’ wives/girlfriends, but I feel like getting any closer than an acquaintance is culturally taboo.
Meh, it's a lens. The older I get, the more I appreciate different lenses and how subjective everything ultimately is. A lot of STEM-types chafe at this, and cling to empiricism as a bedrock in the tumult of human experience, but at the end of the day whether an idea has value to me is entirely orthogonal to its scientific basis or lack thereof.
Oh but. . . "weak willpower", and "immorality", and "fat people deserve their misery and shame". . . we really need to maintain our comfortable mindset.

I didn't say that they made OS/2 stand out and I obviously wasn't addressing that. But since you asked, OS/2 1.x and 2.x were reasonably stable, multitasking, networked server operating systems with an advanced (for the time) filesystem and other interesting features. With early versions delivering that on an i286. And there were a couple of (possible) killer apps: Notes, DB2 (on something smaller than an AS/400), etc. You can debate whether it was superior to Novell, Banyan, Xenix or a bunch of other contemporary competitors. It was also a usable though less clearly advanced desktop operating system at the time.
WTF is this? These are and have been problems since forever. Yes, we now have to worry whether someone tries to murder you by replacing your roomba with a RoboWars KillerBot, contrived as it may be.

Let's say you're on the 10th story of a burning building and the fire department is below telling you to jump. They have one of those cartoon sheets to catch you but it's only rated to catch people falling from the 5th story. If you jump you'll hit the sheet at 40 mph but break through it and hit the ground at 10 mph. Do you shout at them to take the sheet away because you want to hit the ground at the full 40 mph because the sheet won't do enough good?

Edit: and just to address this specifically

> Except that in this case, the belt just comes off its anchor points and doesn't slow you down at all.

This is not true because the energy that went into breaking that anchor point is energy your body is no longer carrying. The belt did slow you down and even in breaking could still have saved your life.
I try very hard to keep my pages pure css and html.

That's cool, but you obviously have different requirements for the pages you build, and likely aren't in the SPA space, so your better-than-thou outlook doesn't apply.
Same. Stride is just a worse implementation of Slack with less features. They even got rid of the “good parts” of HipChat, mainly that the macOS client doesn’t idle at 5% CPU, and replaced it with a full blow Electron client that had the same problems as Slack.

Honestly I’m a bit dumbfound how they are handling the transition. I bet they end up losing a lot of customers to Slack.
AMP isn't being used for applications, it's being used to deliver mostly static text documents with images. It's pretty bare bones, but people didn't like Google's implementation that works on unmodified browsers, and so now there's a new proposed implementation that requires browsers to implement it natively.

Most of the anti-AMP commentators keep repeating over and over again that people can make documents which render as fast, but the Redfin article essentially points out that this goes beyond stripping out all JS, and having quick HTML parsing. You could reduce parse/layout to 0 and still be slower than AMP.

Do you want to install a native application just to read each article? It doesn't scale. Even simple things like DNS lookups on mobile networks can add hundreds of milliseconds delay (from 80ms at the median to 500ms at the 90th percentile), and the subjective delay causes people to feel the bad.
> Once they get into a stable relationship they seem to think that there's no need for a social life beyond their girlfriend

Or is it that they seek a stable relationship because their social life was already starting to dwindle? And they fall back to letting their partner manage their social life because they simply wouldn't have one at all without that help.

I see it a lot in people I know. They didn't care one bit about having a stable relationship. That is until their friends started becoming busier in life, maybe some moved away for other commitments, and they started to feel lonelier and wanted someone who was going to be there for them.

All this becomes a vicious cycle as each time someone feels the group of friends is no longer able to satisfy their needs and they seek a partner, the group is fragmented even further, making it even more difficult to provide what the group needs. Eventually you reach the point where there isn't a group anymore.

While I don't know if I speak for many men, in my experience the best male friendships are comprised of multiple people. If you don't have that group, it is difficult to have the best kind of male friendship. That is not to say one-on-one friendships are bad or impossible, but it's just not quite the same.
I don't need friends who don't respect my time.

I'm old and cranky too.
For one the engine isn't humming alerting you to the gas you're wasting just sitting there. Also many cars have a jackrabbit start so it's literally uncomfortable to go 1-10mi/hr (don't forget those manual shifters).

An EV is very zen and doesn't pressure you to move. In fact your eMPG or range estimator rewards you for crawling forward. Oh yeah and the HOV lanes.
I agree with your sarcasm, particularly as it pertains to Seattle. However, my vibe of Vancouver is different. Having lived in Vancouver and visited Seattle many times for concerts and so on, I can say that Vancouver maintains a sort of freeze even with a well above average intent to expand socially. I think because such a large percentage of people (out of necessity or not) meat some of the criteria in the parent comment, it's hard to strengthen. Getting anyone (except in certain niches) out to do something is like trying to pass pro-choice laws. When you do get it to happen, they'll bail (colloquially called the BC bail) at the last second.
It’s not super hard to implement yourself, particularly given it is a variation of the first ACME protocol for which there is lots of code available, and the staging API for v2 is already up and running.

The main challenge is that wildcards require DNS authorization, so a full automation is DNS api specific. My DNS (OVH) has a neat rest API. But given the variety of DNS providers and APIs it is going to be challenging to rely only on a reference implementation without wrtiting a little bit of code yourself.
What if you're gaining fat instead of muscle? I think your version only works if the only metric required is purely -Kg over time, and doesn't factor in anything else that people might want to call it 'healthy weight loss/gain.'

Of course. Administrators, politicians, and activists benefit.

It's so absurd because for those old machines, the license is literally on a sticker on the side of the machine.

It's actually worse today since the license is tied to the CPU id, so it's not really easy to transfer it to another machine.
Both sound like good ideas to me. Community college is generally better than ending your education in high school.

And allowing people to graduate without passing their grade level seems like a bad idea. (Unless you're saying they were changed to juniors but then no longer went to the high school).
No, it's a fair question.

To be honest, if you're not doing exploration or quick prototyping work (you don't have to be a data scientist though), Jupyter might not be that useful to you.

Jupyter is really useful when you have intermediate results that you don't want to keep regenerating. It lets you test different ideas at any given point in the program without re-running everything above it -- kind of like a pause button. (garden of forking paths) And if you do have to change any code, you can change things in-situ without re-running the entire program. It's like programming with a tape-recorder with mutable state.... hmm, ok maybe that isn't a good analogy, but close enough.

For quick scripts, I reach for vim and run my code on the console, and insert "import ipdb;ipdb.set_trace()" wherever I need breakpoints.

For more complex work where there are different permutations, and many throwaway branches of ideas that I have to test, Jupyter (or any notebook type tool) is way more useful.
They aren’t great to their own employees either. Several departments didn’t get bonuses this year despite meeting goals. They don’t seem like a generous employer.

Fraternity hazing was originally and still is intended to do this (though it is sometimes taken out of hand), force bonding in an expedited process through shared misery. A lot of the tools were derived from boot-camp and military training, where I believe there is some of that intention, as well.
I’m always late to things because of optimism and I compensate by considering anything up to 10 minutes late as on time. My friends have learned to just assume I’ll be late.

Does that count?

What I think is worse than being late are thr monsters that show up on time to a party. Like wtf who does that.

> The conflict is in part a "Two Cultures" division. Pinker's responses were little more than "look at the data", Riemen's responses were "read Nietzsche" - the two sides talk past each other.

That's definitely what was going on. But in situations such as these, isn't looking at the data an absolute necessity? I appreciate theory just as much as anyone else, but when we're trying to reason about how the world works, I don't see a good reason to ignore troves of experimental data and rely on theory alone, unless we believe that human beings are fundamentally random creatures.

> There are many police forces I hope never to meet. Its an interesting example because as good times fade and fascism rises, its precisely such an institution that becomes a source of violence and not a shield. Riemens's argument something like: the trend of interest right now is the eternal allure of fascism that will corrupt such institutions…

I don't think Pinker would put forth any counterargument here. His point is neither "A, B, and C specific forms of violence will never happen again," nor is it "X, Y, and Z remedies to violence are incorruptible." Rather, it's that there exist specific "changes in our cultural and material milieu that have given our peaceable motives the upper hand," and as such "have driven the multiple declines in violence" that he demonstrates with the data in his book.
I grew up in Virginia, where radar detectors are illegal. I was surprised to learn that Virginia is in fact the only US state to ban radar detectors. It's also the only state to consider going 20 over the speed limit (or over 80 even on a 70mph highway) automatic reckless driving.
> It's worth noting that Atrium's Series A had a mind-boggling 92 investors [0].

In the article somewhere it suggested that Justin was more or less testing the waters and getting investors interested as future customers in their product. It sounds like a weird mix between sales and fundraising, but a smart interesting one none the less.

If 100 investors write $50k checks, it's a small amount of money to them compared to the value the legal automation software could potentially deliver.

100 * $50k = $5M let's say for 20% of the company --> $25M round for them. Numbers are hypothetical but that'd be a pretty big A round. I bet he didn't just raise $10M off that many checks.

Great example. Thank you.
When you financially incentivize teachers to hit measurable data targets, don't be surprised when they game the system to hit those targets. The same happens in every industry and job. If I were to tell software developers that their bonus was dependent on hitting story point metrics, they would suddenly be exceeding the story point metrics I desired, despite in reality the same amount of work being completed.

The real problem here is that the stakes are the students' education, and in truth their futures. I wish I could think of some easy solution to this problem but it's so damn hard. I believe a lot of it comes down to the parents and their values, but that's a tough problem to fix.
I know I will be criticized for pointing this out but, why post this here? I'm sure only a fraction of a percent of HN readers would be considered for a residency at Google.
I wrote this for something else I'm working on, which needs to be really fast (an access control library, I expect to be called up to 100+ times a request).

So I wanted to be able to add a unit test that solely tested performance, and that it would sample enough invocations of the function to filter out the noise (the random invocation that takes 10x longer).

I'm also keen to hear what HN thinks about performance testing your functions, and if anyone does anything similar.
The older you get, the clearer you see the end of the tunnel. You've heard the quip 'Life is too short'. Well, the work of making friends , of defining how much committment there is to a relationship, etc...is not worth it. Happiness is something only you can allow yourself to have. And once you realize this, who needs the risk of having an emotional downside through a new relationship when you might not have enough time to right yourself??
Also gay, I think it is much more to do with our "delayed adolescence" and childless-ness. Or at least in the US that's what I see. The older I get, the more blessed I feel to be gay. I can move to any medium to large sized city tomorrow and probably find tons of guys in my age range that are looking for friends and shared-activity partners.

I have many child-free gay friends in their late 30's-50's and their social lives are often 5x those of their straight counterparts.
I've lived in six different US States (in the South, East, Northeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Northwest) and Washington State definitely stands out as having the largest proportion of socially inept people. The general pattern seems to be that they don't know how to make polite casual conversation with strangers and are either just rude or completely overshare.
I would just think, "this person didn't arrive on time and it pisses me off", then if they did it again, I'd be like, "I don't even want to meet this person that much - I'll just never make another meeting".

Sounds like she's just put a number scale on what most people do intuitively.

I don't think it's too high-strung or high-maintenance to expect people to be reasonably on-time.

How is it not absolutely obvious on the Classpass pricing page that it's a monthly subscription?

Chargebacks are a real dick move, and should be used as a last resort if the company gives you any trouble when cancelling. Otherwise you're literally stealing from the service, for example your patronage cost the company 15*6=$90 in just chargeback fees (Stripe) because you couldn't be bothered to cancel your plan online in a minute. I think most SaaS companies would be happy to not have you as a customer.

I think Riot/Matrix is a happy compromise. I've been hosting a couple of servers (one for fun, one for work) for about half a year now, and it's working well.
From my time working for the U.S. Navy, I find this very reminiscent of the problem of finding a submerged submarine at a distance, based on its low-frequency sound emissions.

Their solution is to use a very long array (i.e., a towed array) of microphones (i.e., transducers), and perform algorithmic beam-forming to narrow down the possible points of origin for the sound.

This seems like a pretty obvious approach, but I haven't noticed anyone proposing it.
When you tie metrics to financial rewards, people are going to game the metrics.

Ask HN: How do I get started writing a personal bill pay service?
I've done some research to see how to create a bill pay service, but I can't seem to find the right answers. I understand that there are a number of challenges writing this (security, authentication, accessibility, etc.) but the broader vision is to be able to create a service that can help me help my parents manage their online profile and pay their bills.

My first thought is to try to create a simple bill pay service for myself to see if I can get a crude POC going. Essentially, I would like to be able to aggregate a number of utilities, online services, etc where a manager can help another person pay for their bills, rather than logging onto 10 different sites to facilitate this.

What resources can I consult to build a simple bill pay service? Thanks!
> Or maybe even just an always-on video

Or perhaps video in addition to XR? HMDs don't entirely play well with eyes (at least until we get adaptive optics or light fields), so I want to give my eyes a break periodically. A video wall in the kitchen would permit a "let's take a break" conversation with a non-local colleague.

The power of the XR argument, is that if your ideal development environment is XR, and your ideal collaboration context is via XR, then locality constraints have simply gone away. Rather than video's challenge of being an impoverished medium, which may or may not be worth some non-locality benefit.

> MIT Stanford Wormhole

I spent a lot of time in Stata, over may years, and I'm not sure I ever saw the "wormhole" used. But perhaps there was some pattern of use, like late lunch, which I systematically missed. And one can walk by the cafeteria without easily noticing.
All of these that I checked are either obviously fake or have simple explanations. One is a sound familiar to anyone who's played around with a cheap microphone, for example. Some are simple waves anyone can generate.

This reminds me of a YouTube video I found from someone who thought they found a UFO near the Wal-Mart parking lot one night. It was the red blinking light on top of a water tower. People are very good at convincing themselves of things.
I doubt many would want to notice, as they are deeply invested in the school system.
