Vaping is not better than smoking, it’s less bad.

If you think getting addicted to inhaling chemicals is not harmful you are deluding yourself.

Just like there are no ‘safe’ cigarettes, there is no ‘safe’ vaping. Even inhaling nicotine itself is harmful.

> let's remember that 2018 dropped the max corporate tax rate 14% to 21%. So, Tariffs add 25% friction on your steel usage or 10% on your aluminum, or x% on your chinese imports - but your value add is taxed at 14% less.

I couldn't really tell what point you're trying to make.

Also don't really why you're connecting those two. I'm sure in your mind it makes a lot of sense, but you gotta share it with the rest of us...

Absolutely! That's why the Apple Watch, for example, is an unqualified success compared with any other wearable. Qualcomm, which is the only real rival in that space, hasn't come out with a new wearable-sized SOC in forever, leading to the downright abandonment of many wearable product lines from pretty much everyone except Apple.
Not a good name. This is not an implementation of Oblivious Transfer, as one would asssume, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivious_transfer

Also, this is just using asymetric encryption for the communication between client to authorative servers, which would also overload the servers as they could not be distributed or cached as is done today.
Our main difference from rainforest is going to be that we have a completely in-house team of testers at our startup. Rainforest uses their virtual network to match your tests with appropriate testers.
To be fair, auditors can only check what they were hired to. PCI audits are better than having none at all but they clearly can't be the only audit.
Verbatim, Most Recent, and clustered posts are all better for a mindset when you have a relatively specific query, or at least filter bias, in mind. Consider the following statements:

1) I'm looking for something specific.
2) I'd rather not be surprised right now.
3) I'd like to get through the search/index as fast as possible to get where I'm going.

The above are user-voiced versions of principles that drive traditional UI, and are absolutely better met by that optimization process.

AI-driven search and feeds were exciting because they were the first method that captured use cases where users wouldn't make those statements: fuzzy queries about general interests, the desire for diversions "curated" by your own social group, and search/feed review as itself as an entertaining experience.

Then, it turned out that these unexplored use cases were actually the giant, underwater part of the iceburg of what people wanted from information systems. The growth and attention capture you can drive from meeting those cases is not only massive, it sucks the oxygen out of traditional value propositions by out-competing for the same attention.

I think a return to traditional "capture and facilitate intent" UI (or even better a synthesis of the two!) will only be driven by users finding a way to explicitly value their own clarity of attention. We see signs of this in everything from ad blockers to focus-oriented browser plug-ins, but I think we're still missing the FOMO-conquering expression of this value proposition that becomes a competitive product.
Do you integrate with tools like Jira? That is what we use for our development at the moment.

Are they even collecting that kind of data, let alone using it to make decisions in autopilot mode?

Grindr has the largest share of users by far. I suspect SCRUFF is #2, both because it is almost as old, but also because they clearly skew towards a different segment of the community. I assume that Jack'd and Hornet are more popular in certain geographical areas.

But I agree with pretty much everything you say, except for wanting to emphasis that getting people to enter their status is crucial in helping to normalize regular testing, safe sex practices, and allowing HIV+ individuals to be open members of the community.
Just like email addresses, you can have multiple ones, and speak with everyone else (AFAIK). What changes is that you also have a timeline (like a mailing list that goes in a folder) for your local instance, and one for the instances it federated with.

Ask HN: How did you browse the internet before aggregators and social media?
I'm afraid that as I've grown up with Facebook and then spent my idle hours in undergrad on Reddit and related sites, I've never really learned (or forgotten) how to browse the web itself - a skill that seems to be becoming increasingly important in the face of nebulous algorithms managing the information we see on larger sites.
I'm enjoying my time with Mastodon so far, and don't generally engage with politically heated discussions on social media anyway, but this is still my biggest concern as things stand right now. Part of the reason Hacker News is so appealing is the comments, in which you can often read opinions approaching a controversial subject from wildly different angles, sometimes leading to fascinating and civil discussions which leave you feeling better off and more well-rounded for having read them.

Within the currently popular Mastodon servers however, it definitely does feel like a bit of a self-imposed bubble, whereby the about pages espouse civil discussion, but in reality statements or opinions closer to centre on the political spectrum are usually met with hostility and treated as egregiously offensive. I'm hopeful it'll mature over time, settle into a less ambiguous moderation policy that allows for wider coverage of the political spectrum so long as it's civil and ultimately attract a broader range of users.

"He attributes the earnings reversal overwhelmingly to one factor: education. For every two guys who graduate from college or get a higher degree, three women do."

It's interesting itself that more women graduate than men. But equal pay means equal pay for people with similar qualifications doing similar jobs. This comparison means nothing to me.
>How much is "good design" codeword for dumbing the site down as much as possible and making it shiny enough for people who get distracted by car keys?

You're confusing user interface design and graphic design, which are two different disciplines with different goals, neither of which is to be merely distracting.

>Japanese websites are proof by example that this is strictly a cultural phenomena.

You're assuming that Japanese don't consider that "good design." It is a cultural phenomenon, but your assertion that it's strictly a Western phenomenon is incorrect.

It's also particularly odd to invoke Japan as an example of a culture that doesn't care at all about design or aesthetics.

>Maybe I'm elitist, but if you can't understand reddit as it is maybe you're an idiot?

I don't think there was ever an overabundance of users who didn't understand Reddit, given the site's popularity. Like a lot of programmers, you're assuming an inverse correlation exists between the quality of a site's design and the intellect of its users. So yes, you're an elitist.

>Give me my plain old links in their plain old default blue underline and my mod-hacked-together css+bots.

... and here you are arguing in favor of minimalism, which is a form of design.

Your entire comment is just a rant about how other people's design preferences are less valid than your own.
I use a cheap Microsoft Surface clone as my main tablet. It is far slower than a current iPad, but also cheaper.

Con: The app situation is dire. I generally use the browser instead of apps.

Pro: It is an actual computer. You can plug in USB sticks, you can work with files, you can connect to a TV, you can program, you can use command line programs. For me, this outweighs everything else. In a pinch, I can whip out Emacs and write a Python program, or run ffmpeg to convert a video file, or debug a C++ program. All of this will be slow, because these cheap tablets are slow, but none of these are even possible on iOS/Android tablets.

We should choose tools that empower us, not tools that take our power away.
Just because you are spening less strictly doesn't mean everyone does, and in turn it doesn't weaken their argument.

They are trying to communicate with other researchers who actually care that the proofs are correct. Maybe you don't, if you're simply trying to reimplement some algorithm, but criticizing research papers for using mathematical formalism is a bit ridiculous.

Nothing like that is an excuse. You have 10.0.0.0 for that - it's huge and you can use it for whatever you want without stepping on anyone's toes.

There are absolutely zero reasons I've seen so far (I'd be interested to hear abstruse ones? "I thought who cares" isn't one) to avoid using one of the private ranges.

10.0.0.0/8 isn't even noticeably harder to remember or type, really.
At a glance, it appears there’s a limitation where the service runs only one test at a time. As your product and thus your testing requirements grow, this becomes infeasible. Additionally, the FAQ states that you may not get results back for 2 hours to as long as 12 hours. Both of those limitations can apparently be overcome by giving them more money for parallel tests and/or faster results.

The reason you’re running tests is to view the results and then quickly fix any bugs, re-running any failed tests to verify. Given the serial nature of testing and the turnaround time, you’re losing far more in productivity than $99/month. And if they get a sufficient number of signups at that price point, their ability to service tests is going to be severely impacted to the point where it becomes unusable.

They should really change this model and offer a limited offering for the $99/month. Keep the one-at-a-time model, but also limit the number of tests per day to something reasonable. Then introduce a $999/month plan which is unlimited. This is still way cheaper than even a part time QA tester, but as soon as you start firing sufficient load at the service you run into capacity limitations. Of course, at that point it makes sense to start offering dedicated resources for those who hit those capacity limitations, which results in a few additional offerings of $X,999 per month for various values of X. Assuming they can offer 24/7 coverage, screenshots, recordings, variables, API, etc. they’ll perhaps become a viable competitor for Rainforest QA [which I used at a previous job].
Maybe they also have an unpublicized reason to build their own - the backdoors on Intel/AMD/Qualcom/IBM chips.
But building their own isn't a guarantee that they won't put one for "concerned" parties.
Is this article better [1]? Mozilla has partnered with Cloudflare to provide direct DNS resolution from within the Firefox browser using the Cloudflare Resolver for Firefox. What this means is that whenever you click on or type a web address in the Firefox browser your DNS lookup request will be sent over a secure channel to the Cloudflare Resolver for Firefox rather than to an unknown DNS resolver, significantly decreasing the odds of any unwanted spying or man in the middle attacks.

Are you asking about elm-ui, or about Elm the language?

Elm libraries (like elm-ui) are generally very stable (thanks to the language guarantees), so the fact that it was last updated at May 2017 isn't necessarily bad. In fact most of the libraries, when they're published, they're done. (Sans occasional bugfix)

I don't know about this particular one though, it seems the author is focused on non-Elm things now: https://www.mint-lang.com/

Elm the language is active, alive, used in production, the community grows, it seems that the alpha release of v0.19 will drop any moment... Things are looking pretty good!

(PS: The Elm slack - http://elmlang.herokuapp.com/ - is probably better place to ask Elm-using-people stuff :) )
Tesla wants to be a major car manufacturer but they can't get a basic assembly line working. Musk's attempts with robotic are failing.

The battery should have an automatic detection system for that. Some thin copper wires wound around the battery that break when the battery expands should do the trick. It could even work as a circuit-breaker for the battery itself, although sparks should be prevented.

>I'm happy to take the risk to crash with a sleepy fleshdriver, but I'm not ok with crashing due to a software bug.

I find this very hard to understand, especially when you're making the choice on behalf of others. Would you drive your children to school, knowing that you're making them less safe, just so that if they do die it's your fault rather than that of some programmer?
I'd say 'abusing' is the term I'd go for - and it seems awkward for an ISP/network operator of that size to ignore the rules.

If mum and dad's home network uses 1.1.1.1 because it's "cute" or whatever, that's understandable if still wrong. But why do network providers that employ lots of people that should know better do this?

I cannot believe that it wasn't brought up, ever ("Hey, you know.. We should use 10.0.0.0/8 maybe?"). I gotta assume that someone in charge shrugged and said "Who cares?".
This is why I don't think it's a very big problem for Tesla. There is a big difference between not delivering (so far Magic Leap for example) and slow delivery.

Most people who ordered a Tesla realy want one so they are just going to wait.

Maybe some shareholderd might see it as a problem because they could have sold more Teslas in the same amount of time. But it's not that they are cheap and everyone can afford one.
Me and a lot of smart developers before me have learned on our skins that you should never make a rewrite.

I think web design has the same problems as web development in regards to rewrite but the design community has yet to internalize that you should never remake something from scratch.

That's not to say that you should keep an old design forever - instead make changes incrementally and gradually. Putting 12 designers to work for a year with zero feedback and trying not to hurt whatever magic made reddit popular in the first place is bound to be a disastrous affair.
This is where federation wins really. If your mastodon server wont come out of its bubble nothing is stopping someone from making a new server that does. Instances may die, but the social network as a whole never will.
The sentiment is exactly that white males shouldn't visit these places - or at least she doesn't want to hear about it, it says so in the very title.

And she's quite pointedly attempting to paint any such visit or presence as sex tourism.

If her point had been direct, to decry tourists (white or not, male or not, heterosexual or not) getting sex "on the cheap" in impoverished nations, we might agree. But then we'd also have to decry the way corporations and financial capitalism gets other forms of labor and resources on the cheap in impoverished nations, and a whole lot of other arguments. Sex is not some magic pixie dust, to be bestowed by royal fairies, after all; it's just another thing people do.

The macOS system shell, python, compiler etc. are out of date, and out of your control. They're good enough for basic tinkering. However, as soon as you develop on a Mac professionally, you should create your own dev environments and stack independent of the macOS maintained one, starting with brew for example.
