I don't think it's fair to use that one small piece of Netflix lore as the counter example to the point of the article. I'd categorize Reed Hastings as having one of the more long-term views/strategies in tech and business in general, and he would be the first to say that Netflix became what it has become not because of the lightbulb moment, but because of the long slog they've endured to get where they are. Using that Netflix example comes across as clickbaity.

Not to mention, that particular Netflix myth has nothing to do with the importance of having a lightbulb moment. The point is to provide a north star for the company about the importance of always keeping the customer/user experience top of mind. By charging late fees that exceeded the value of a video, Blockbuster had lost sight of the customer experience, which contributed to Blockbuster's downfall. Meanwhile, maintaining its intense focus on the customer experience helped Netflix navigate what was an impressive shift from mailing DVDs to streaming video online.

> I worked at Yelp, on the systems in question, and I can tell you that it's false.

I wouldn't expect there to be a literal code switch that deletes bad reviews if someone pays for ads. But I can imagine a system developing naturally (even by accident!) where it's easier to get a human at Yelp to intervene when non-customers or bots left bad reviews.

Did Yelp have systems in place (e.g. a "Chinese wall") to prevent someone's status as a customer from impacting their ability to resolve a complaint about abusive negative reviews?

Ask HN: Do you mind when someone comments on your screen when working in Public?
For all my remote workers out there who do work in cafes or public areas...

How do you feel when you're working on a project and someone comes up to you and comments about what's on your screen? Whether it be a compliment, note, or comment on the type of program/environment you're using?

A part of me feels like it's rude to an extent for someone to do that, however another part of me realizes I'm in a public area so can't really complain if people are trying to network/communicate.
It’s definitely something to keep in mind, and a reason to keep an eye on alternative outlets that don’t curate content at all. So far those alternatives seem to confirm the wisdom of that curation. By analogy to the world of art, it’s good to look beyond big museums, schools, and galleries. Graffiti art and folk art for example, don’t come from the heavily controlled world of professional art.

The truth though, is that most graffiti is crude bullshit, not unlike most of Voat for example. Keep an eye on it, because there might be some fine art hidden in there, you can still understand why curstion is necessary; imperfect, it necessary.

Why Are We Surprised When Buddhists Are Violent?
It's in ast.go (https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/go/ast/ast.go). Look how Node, Expr etc. are interfaces, with concrete struct implementations. The interfaces don't do much, only provide position information.
I am using both, and I find that at least in Python I started using more functions and passing the state around. A nice side-effect is that also makes that code more testable as there is less need for mocks (since functions are more pure), but it's also more verbose and people think I am crazy now.

Though also Python in a sense already has some extra state visibility by passing self around in member function as opposed to hiding in an implicit this.

I don’t know if this is applicable to a restaurant review guide, but:

I find The Wirecutter / Sweethome to be really great for consumer reviews. Specifically, because they’re transparent about the qualifications of the reviewer, and transparent about the criteria on which their subjects will be evaluated, including “we interviewed X, Y, Z and they identified a, b, c as the most important metrics because of R.” So I know why I should trust the author, their metric choices, and the results - which makes it easy for me to decide whether their judgment reflects my own priorities.

That seems like a lot more effort, in a distinct vein, than the usual restaurant review. Food is, of course, more subjective but the usual review seems like a highly evolved version of “I liked this.” I don’t care if a reviewer “likes this,” I want to know if they liked it —and- an indicator of how or why to generalize those results to my own tastes.
The realistic portrayals of abysmal human working conditions in the food-service industry found in The Jungle led to changes in public policy. Those changes were in food safety regulation and not labor law, but changes were made.

It's almost as if the artist can only bring out something that already exists in the audience. Everyone sees it through their own personal lens.

If a movie existed that realistically portrayed poverty, that would only move the viewer to the extent that they can relate to the characters. One person might be motivated to reform the social safety net to provide better support. Another might reaffirm their personal preconception that poor people are brutish, unintelligent, useless, and irredeemable, and might just sign on to a new eugenics program to sterilize indigents and undesirables.

The art rekindles empathy that is already there. If it wasn't already present, it is a lot more difficult to make it grow there from other places in the psyche.

Yes, we have a responsibility to maintain the ecosystems which sustain life. But there seems to be a total lack of understanding in modern environmental movements between the difference of preservation and conservation which borders on outright misanthropy. The former promotes a world view which defines all things "natural" as "good" things to be protected and untouched, the latter sees the natural world as a means to man's end, while simultaneously acknowledging our grave responsibility to ensure that means' survival.

Give me stunning architecture, works of art, thriving industry, and world class educational institutions over a bunch of dirt and trees any day. Nature is beautiful, but the things that humans do are a thousand times more interesting and complex than a scenic view will ever be.

Aren't GMO crops most likely to make that trade-off?

No. Like most things, it depends on the desired outcome of the product. In fact, some GMOs are specifically designed to be more nutritional rather than less. See golden rice, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice

Additionally, "processing food" isn't actually bad. Humans gained quite a bit with the most common food processing: Cooking. Some foods are more nutritious that way, and it made meat a whole heck of a lot safer to eat. Freezing and various types of drying kept us alive during winters and off-seasons. Some highly processed foods might not be the best things to eat, sure, but processed food itself isn't such a big deal.

And that bit about not needing to take vitamins? Yeah, that's true. I personally need to take Vitamin D from September through April, which partially comes from moving to a northern location. The rest of the year I need to get outside in daylight at least 15 minutes a day. No supplements. My diet is pretty balanced: I won't drink smoothies or shakes except as an ice cream dessert. I eat my fruit, I eat fish, eggs, and dairy but no other meats, and cook at home (sometimes freezing for a later date). I have had bloodwork to check for these things.

You don't even need to track your daily micronutrients any more than you need to track your daily calories. Balanced doesn't equal perfect, after all, and you don't need to eat every micronutrient every single day. Simply get informed about the sort of things you need, and check that against your local variety of foods. Eat said variety of foods during the day and week. Add in the little extra things that might have healthy stuff. And there you go: A balanced diet.
Writing is like backups. If you haven't done a backup restore, then it's not a real backup.

Similarly, if someone can't read what you wrote and then explain it back to you in their own language and concepts, your writing hasn't passed muster.

There's a reason there are always acknowledgments to draft-readers in books and YC essays.

Good writing is a result of good editing.

The author seems, I have to say, deeply confused; about politics, art in general, and film in particular—he seems he mostly wants realistic, descriptive, non-documentary films without a traditional story arc depicting
life in American poverty; even without the poverty part this just isn't something that anybody, really, is interested in from film—but most critically about his own thesis.

It's clear he is unhappy with something about portrayal of poverty in film, but he starts off complaining that there is not enough of such portrayal, making what seems to be a quantitative complaint, but then spins out of control with contradictory criticisms of qualitative features of the portrayal. This is most stark in his complaints about I am Another You where he initially blames it for being too focused on explanation rather than description and then blames it for failing to dig deep enough to explain why mental illness leads more easily to homelessness in the US compared to the rest of the West.

> If policymakers in DC (and in cities and state capitals around the country) had the Raineys in mind when making poverty policy, rather than the stubborn, racist myth of the “welfare queen”, they might produce smarter proposals that are more attuned to what poor Americans actually want and need.

Policy makers don't generally base policy on what they see in movies, and don't generally have the racist myth of the “welfare queen” in mind when making policy that effects the poor, they instead have a very clear picture of the expressed interests of the people they are interested in serving (who are often chosen, much as the story goes with the choice to rob banks, “becsuse that's where the money is”), which very often don't include the poor regardless of their lifestyle.

The “welfare queen” is an image policy makers (and policy entrepreneurs) invented to sell the policy, not a real concern at which it is directed.

Does HN “sponsor” YC content?
Just saw a post about TripleByte's (YC-backed company) latest funding round, with no comments or voting buttons. Is this a form of "sponsored" content added by the moderators? If so, it would be interesting to know how it's ranked alongside organic content. Maybe a little "more info" button next to the post could point to an FAQ explaining why there's no commenting on that post.

For the record, I think YC has every right to use the platform in this way. I do feel that being transparent about this use would be beneficial in maintaining the faith and respect of the excellent community here.

By disabling voting and comments on this post, the moderators/developers have deliberately made sponsored content distinguishable from organic. That's a good step towards transparency, but some kind of official acknowledgement would be even better. Perhaps such a thing already exists and I'm simply unaware.

> his first impulse was to write backprop from scratch

backprop is a very simple algorithm, nothing to fear there. The problems are to calculate the derivates if you want to be flexible building your model. But for feedforward networks with sigmoid activation, the equations to update the weights are a joke.
I’m a bit different in that I only save the backup code to the separate KeePass DB. I hadn’t even considered saving the key/QR code to it, which seems just as secure as what I do now.
That would be a massive grab of both state and private rights, mostly for the sake of a single company that has asked for it, which is already a monopoly in several other markets and does not need special government favors to help it achieve more.
Critically ill man 'former Russian spy'
My take is that you are looking at it the wrong way. Pony uses a single message queue for each actor (which is completely invisible at the code level) and typed messages (which syntactically look like functions).

Behaviors (the message handlers) have a lot of limits on them compared to functions (like no return values), so it really is message passing.

I'm not sure I really like the syntax that makes messages look like functions, though.
