Yeah, my wife complained about pretty much the same thing: back in the 60's, with the classical division of roles, a typical family had the husband as the sole bread-barer and the wife did all the house-work. Now, with dishwashers, vacuums, washing machines, dryers, second cars, etc. cutting down a lot of the time of the woman's chores, it's not like she actually gained more spare time today: no, now she is expected to get a job! :-)

Of course, it's a bit tongue-in-cheek -- after all, all these gadgets also come with higher costs for the household -- but it is true that while in my grandparents' generation, most families working under the above model could afford a house and a decent life-style, it would now be impossible for my wife and me to buy a house just based on my income alone.

But that's again comparing apples and oranges a bit because let's not forget that today's lives typically have higher expectations and higher standards of living. My grandparents, for instance, never did a vacation overseas, etc...

Of course it isn't, the big question is really whether it should be, since network effects mean it's much harder to compete with established social networking sites/services.

Still, I do hope Mastodon does well, since a federated Twitter esque service makes a lot more sense than a centralised one, and feels far more in tune with what the internet should be.
In the developed world piracy seems like this big naughty thing you shouldn't do. In places like Ghana, and many other undeveloped areas, its considered normal and expected. Provided you can even afford a computer.
Even though it's not needed when you have all-in-one tablets, filling the rinse aid compartment does wonders for drying. It's a tip I picked up recently, and it really improves the drying of plastics and things like wine glasses.

It's not an interesting question whether networks learn abstractions. It's almost tautological - an image classification network will by definition (attempt to) distill an image into a distribution over categories. So when people criticize abstraction I think they are really criticizing the quality of the abstraction...

Because the key phrase in the grandparent post is "really represent or mean." Grass + white strands = sheep, is a hierarchical abstraction, but it's a bogus one.

Feature visualizations do not answer this more relevant question.

It would help if vendors used serial registration. And perhaps they could include some signature item in the package that is difficult to copy. Electronic products would be perfect to hold a signature.
How about: Each computer comes with a bar of soap, and with the skills learned you can compete in the world and afford all the soap you will ever need? I don’t see it as either/or.

Join the club! If you're interested in the data aspect of this, I highly recommend the software package sleepyhead. It let's you see all the data from the machine in a great format. If you're able to convince your insurance to cover, I would also recommend getting a mandibular advancement device. I find that switching between the two every few weeks helps my AHI scores. Probably because each works in a different way and muscle memory seems to come into effect for each differently. The MAD works for me because I have epiglotis-derived SA, so you're milage may differ. I would also highly recommend getting an ENT consult. Knowing why I have SA was great because it helps me position my pillows to get the best results.

This is also a really cool recent advancement but I'm not sold on it yet: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/05/01/fda-ap...

Not sure if store brands is a fair comparison though...

Walmart has their own store brand - Great Value. Costco probably wouldn't sell that either. I'm not a expert on store brands but I suspect they are using a private labeler company that makes products with their logos or minor tweaks.

You can buy Great Value Ultra Strong Toilet Paper or Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care Toilet Paper at Walmart. Just because Walmart sells their own brand of toilet paper, doesn't mean they can't carry the other brands too. I think of Walmart as a general shop and not a toilet paper only shop. Probably being a "toilet paper company" isn't their main focus either.

If the margin in toilet paper was high enough where they had dedicated toilet paper stores, then at the Cottonelle Stores, then I'd expect only Cottonelle products - sotra like the Apple Store example.

Actually kinda surprised Amazon carries Roku though, but some reason they don't like Chromecast...
Remember the ESA Rosetta shirt guy who broke down into tears?

The important distinction is censorship of citizen-vs-citizen aggression, and censorship of political dissent. (If Hacker News unconditionally deleted all criticism of YC companies, I'd visit 4chan instead.)

And that implies we can't solve the issue with technology alone. Moderation needs to be possible, but we have to figure out a way to prevent abuse.

It would be great to have a client that works well for seeding massive amounts of torrents (100,000+) on weak hardware (like a Raspberry). The main problem seems to be memory usage.

How is the memory usage of this one?

It says it is light-weight. What kind of light-weight is it and are there some metrics?
I reckon it also does save time. The reason is there's plenty of "dead time" during cooking. Waiting for water to boil, sauces to reduce etc. But those periods are not long enough to do much else and your hands will generally be too dirty to do even small tasks. The best use of those little sections of time is to wash up.
I like the idea. But unfortunately, it gave me matches with ~80% confidence with the tags not matching anything I ever touched (and not even know what that is).

And, when hitting enter, it just resets the github name instead of searching (little inconvenient).

Ask HN: Solopreneur, what's a problem worth solving for you?
I graduated recently and we were taught C first and then C++ of OO concepts. I don't think anybody had issues learning OO concepts this way though most of what we learnt went out of the window when we started learning Data Structures and Algorithms in Java. It seemed a lot easier and a lot more could get done in the same amount of time spent on C/C++.

But I still had a fascination with C. I tried to do a few networking projects using C which turned out to be more tiring than expected thus abandoning the whole project. I think if we would have stuck with C/C++ all the way through the Algorithm's class it would have been much more helpful. Java/Python is way too easy to pickup later on your own and reproduce the same results that one would in C/C++.

Well, I don't understand what's there to check, I never said Netherlands wasn't in EU.

The most probable reason why you can't get packages from EU Amazon to Switzerland is because they are not in EU.

The same reason applies to why you can't get packages to EU if you're trying to get them from US.

Yes, some big sellers don't mind but small ones do, and EU Amazon does have a huge variety of sellers.

For example, I've lived in Croatia before and after EU membership. The Amazon situation changed completely and now I can get packages from any EU Amazon.
I still have that feeling about Facebook. It looks and acts like the central web registry authority.

>In psychology there's the assumption that mood disorders and antisocial delusions can be distinguished from non-pathological "being an asshole."

Any decent psychiatrist readily accepts that nearly all psychological diagnoses are based on quite arbitrary criteria. The problems you describe arise from how the rest of society engages with psychiatry.

Clinically, a diagnosis is a crude but useful shorthand for reasoning about how best to help someone who is experiencing distress or functional impairment. Socially, that same diagnosis is a credential - something that might entitle you to time off work, a welfare check or legal clemency. Moral decisions about who deserves compassion and support have been delegated to clinicians.

This isn't something that psychiatry can fix.
To be fair, a Miracast device is not a Chromecast counterfeit. Miracast is older than Chromecast, and while Google's Android phones dropped Miracast support around the time Chromecast came out, Chromecast is not compatible with Miracast.

In the larger picture, this whole affair is nasty and wouldn't have to have happened if everyone supported the standard: Miracast.
Manufacturers can also help by modifying pan lids, handles and some utensils so than water drains off or out of them more easily.
Pink noise is also used to treat tinnitus. People say it sounds like listening to waves at the beach. So perhaps a distant thunderstorm at the beach would be even better.

Just because a developer has all of the tools available, doesn't mean they can build a solid working app.
Miracast is a standard, not a product. There is nothing wrong with selling a Miracast device, however this particular device is blatant Chromecast rip-off, designwise.

tl;dr:

- plastic is less dense than ceramic or steel, and thus when brought to a certain temperature it holds less heath. This is true even if plastic's specific heath (kJ/Kg K) is higher.

- plastic is hydrophobic, so water does not spread over the surface as a thin film, but collects in larger drops. These drops have a lower surface/volume ratio, and so take longer to evaporate
My 3 year old makes similar mistakes. I expect he’ll improve in large part because he isn’t just a set of layers but has subcritical areas, fears and motivations and a body to explore the world with.

This suggests that we these large ML models do need complementary components to improve.

For example, if they were capable of active exploration of an image, they may have said there are sheep and then upon searching for the sheep, realize they aren’t there.

Depends on how complicated the app is.

Most of the times a good old non-SPA with NodeJS / Express / Some ORM with vanilla JS / Handlebars and SASS will do the job without having a huge technical debt.

If on the other hand the requirements are to have a more complicated SPA, I would go with React / Redux and a NodeJS / Express / ORM for the API. Hosting the front-end on an S3 and the backend on a Digital Ocean Droplet.
PHP with Laravel :)

For JS, Vue.js probably. Though I'm still using Backbone + Marionette.
I sure hope so, it's literally the front page :]

I think you're doing a great job growing the community, it has a different vibe from HN and r/startups and I personally do get a lot of value from it, although I'm still mostly interested in the interviews.

You can still drop html files on GitHub!

If you're feeling extra fancy, you can switch to gitlab to write and publish static websites in any framework of your choice (including plain html of course but you can use any framework of your choice such as Jekyll or even Vue Nuxt) right from the browser thanks to the power of the gitlab-ci.yml file. As someone who very much dislikes installing node js on my computer, I think this is fantastic.
Yeah, I just ran the numbers because I was curious too, I would consider this to be quite expensive.

My electricity costs are quite high comparatively to other folks though so, YMMV.

I build lots of CRUD apps very fast with JHipster, which is designed to handle the initial bootstrapping of traditional CRUD apps very well, while also allowing you to choose your tech stack (in some ways). Because it's giving you a nice boilerplate, you can customize it as you go.

The stack ist mostly Java with Spring and AngularJS on the frontend.

Front end: Angular... but I’d like to try Vue. Nginx and docker to Fargate

I would use rails for the API and react on the front end. Rails 5.1 makes it super easy to do this and Rails 5.2 which is coming out soon (5.2.rc1 I'd already available) also adds some neat features. Database I usually pick is postgres.
The same as 4 years ago.

Server side rendered templates with Rails or Flask using Postgres + Redis + background worker of choice.

I'm starting to build some apps with Phoenix now, but it's not because I feel the above 2 are poor choices. I just like learning new things, especially when I see big wins of potentially using it. It's another tool in my tool belt, not an all-in replacement of the previous thing.
The site was down for a bit due to using up my free bandwidth quota, so I decided to pay them for a month of service to get it back up.

Don’t buy name brands from 3rd party sellers on Amazon. Pretty simple. Purchasing on amazon isn’t about getting a “deal”, it’s about getting something at or around retail price without having to go to the store. If you are looking for cheap name brand items, go to TJMax or something.
Clojure(script) with re-frame, using the luminus template.

https://github.com/Day8/re-frame
http://www.luminusweb.net/

edit: Should probably say why...

- Clojure and clojurescript give nearly identical experiences on the front and back end, with the ability to actually share some code between the two.

- Clojure is dynamic and spec gives some really awesome validation and generative test capabilities

- There is a lot of fuss around javascript frameworks and dealing with html / css build tools and their arbitrary syntax. Clojure front end frameworks provide tools that make templating html look just like regular data structures in clojure, styles too. With stylefy you can also keep all styles inline while supporting media queries. It really is a low cognitive load setup once you get going. I love it.

https://github.com/Jarzka/stylefy

edit-2: More whys...

- re-frame is basically redux but easier and with less boilerplate. I use it for small and large projects.

- Pure immutable functions are such a game changer. Even poorly written projects with tons of features can be reasoned about and broken down for long term maintenance if the language supports immutability and pure functions. Re-frame really plays to this strength for managing state and I can't say enough good things about it. Been working with it for 2+ years and I can't imagine switching for anything else I've seen out there.

I pop open the dishwasher as soon as I can after too. But rather than taking plastics out to dry in a counter rack I put away the dry nonplastics then just shake the upper and lower trays to shake as much water off the plastics and let them air dry in the dishwasher with the door cracked.
NodeJS + TypeScript works wonderfully. Nunchuck templates (Jinja2 inspired).

And we use Angular on the front end.

And I'd recommend GraphQL, takes a lot of worry about API design and wiring off your shoulders.
