In my anecdotal experience, it seems like Netflix's own content gets weighed disproportionately high. This could be a result of the fact that first-party content never gets removed, so it builds up a more complex graph of recommendations, but personally it feels like they're trying way too hard to cram their content down my throat -- to a point of recommending shows that I would never even consider watching, like Jane the Virgin (not exactly my kind of humor). In the end it just feels like they've compromised their own recommendations to push their own product, which makes me mistrust all of their recommendations.
I decided to build my own RSS reader a few months back after getting into the habit of consuming news via RSS, and not really being thrilled with any of the readers out there. The source is open and can be pulled/built locally from GitHub[0] or accessed at the public instance for free[1]. It also made it to the front page of HN through a Shown HN post a while back, so at least a few people here enjoyed it (:

I used to work in a securities firm owned by a bank holding company in a role requiring being registered as a securities principal (legally responsible to supervise). It still took me several minutes to remember which regulations to look up.

Amazon doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of working around these regulations with the current administration. Trump hates Bezos. With a moderate Republican in power, they might be able to lobby their way to creating the precise loophole they needed (which would require legislation).
Geolocation pros and cons as part of music campaign
I like the Shure's quite a bit and have used them professionally as a musician. I've experienced similar issues

Part of the issue is solved by running them over the backs of the ears so they exit down your neck. Additionally, mine have a cord pair keeper, and when I push that closer to the ends, that helps.

Another thing that's helped has been to get picker about which inserts I use. My ear canals aren't the same size (which I thought was strange, but whatever).
Do you find yourself veering dangerously close to a traffic barrier on a regular basis (waiting for the day that the crash attenuator becomes defunct so you can slam into it)? I don't and any machine that does that qualifies as a death trap.
This. Best reader I've found.
Going to war in Iraq a few times I have heard and experienced a lot of loud sounds. Being about 20m away from the impact of a 105mm canon from an AC-130 was pretty loud. Being right next to a M1 Abrams was probably the worst. A Marine near me actually had a collapsed lung from being in the blast zone. I also RSO’d for a range that shot off 41 SMAW rockets. I had a bad headache for a couple of days after that. Then there was that time that I parked my LAV-25 about 100m from an artillery battery right before they fired a mission where they had to be using a charge 8 or something because a kept losing my train of thought for a minute or so every time they fired a volley.

And yes my hearing is pretty bad now. Hopefully I can get hearing aid later on.

Edit: changed ear plugs to hearing aid.
Because it's not necessarily your process that ran out of RAM. Imagine you have background process A which has allocated 1 GB of RAM just in case and never used it, and then process B tries to allocate maybe 100 MB, and the kernel says "No, I can't do that." Then process B quits. Is this really a better outcome than killing process A?

On my current laptop, pulseaudio has 2.7 GB virtual memory and 17 MB physical memory. If I open a new Firefox tab, I would much prefer for pulseaudio to die than for Firefox to die.

(You might say, "Well, pulseaudio shouldn't allocate 2.7 GB virtual memory," to which I'd say, "Sure, if you'd rather spend the thousands of hours fixing pulseaudio and every other program like it, go for it.")

Also, "panic" isn't a standard C function - are you envisioning a panic that unwinds or one that doesn't? If it unwinds, what happens if you need to allocate memory during the unwind to save state? If it doesn't, why is it a better state of the world for Firefox to crash periodically and require me to recover my work, without even giving it the option to synchronize its state?

What's really odd is, in my Subaru which has eyesight, if I drove straight towards that barrier the breaks would engage. Eyesight uses two visual cameras, about two feet apart, and uses the parallax between them to judge depth/distance (in the same way human eyesight judges depth).

So even if Tesla's autopilot steered the vehicle towards that divider, shouldn't the auto-braking system have engaged to avert the accident? Tesla vehicles also have visual image cameras as well as radar based ones, so the information density is even higher than Subaru's system.

I guess what I am getting at is: Is auto-braking disabled while autopilot is on? Wouldn't leaving auto-braking enabled (particularly using the visual cameras) offer a second layer of safety is autopilot made an error?

I raised the same issue when a Tesla with autopilot on drove straight into the side of a truck and the driver was decapitated. The discussion was all about "well radar couldn't distinguish it from road signs!" while ignoring that a Tesla has visual (optical) cameras front and center.

I think the 'regular' style toilet tanks only require more frequent maintenance because they're inexpensive and people use crappy home store parts in them. You can buy five regular old toilets for the price of that wall-mount Toto.

My policy is to use high quality parts in the tank and I've found it pays dividends -- it's been years since I've had to do any maintenance on any of our toilets aside from cleaning.

Fwiw Kyoto university has an even stronger reputation of genius weirdos (and is often chosen over Todai for aspiring research scientists). Todai folks are a little more pragmatic. Keio students are way off in the other direction towards businesses success and networking, and even the administration is unapologetic about preferentially accepting business heirs.

Fwiw I know a decent number of Todai engineers who started businesses while they were a student (including my former teammates). Our CEO actually intentionally took 7 years to graduate because it qualified him for subsidized housing and kept him in an environment full of stimulating peers, while mainly spending his time running a company.

Note that this is a limit on virtual memory - the OOM killer triggers on running out of physical memory (or swap). It certainly helps more than not using it, but it's hard to tune exactly, because it ignores the specific thing that the OOM killer is designed to support: applications allocating large amounts of virtual memory and not using it so that no backing physical memory/swap needs to be allocated.

The more I travel, and the more I see and learn about the world, humans, population and the environment, the more I am dead-set on the idea of mandatory population control. We need to put limits on how many children a couple can have. I know China's policy had some serious downsides, but at this point I fear much, much worse if we don't.

Let's reverse the trend and start offering financial rewards to people that don't have children.

I'd look at it like this. So now we have:

set.seed(12345)
treatment = c(rep(0, 4), rep(1, 4))
gender1 = rep(c(1, 0), 4)
gender2 = rep(c(0, 1), 4)
gender3 = rep(c(.5, -.5), 4)
result = rnorm(8)

summary(lm(result ~ treatment*gender1))
summary(lm(result ~ treatment*gender2))
summary(lm(result ~ treatment*gender3))

Each gives a different estimate of the treatment effect and the third also gives a different uncertainty than the others for that effect.

Having gone to the physician with complaints many times and be told to wait to see if the issue goes away (most of them didn't) or that there's nothing to be done about it, one is quickly trained not to bother going to a physician for anything short of a major injury.

(And this behavior is from a physician who is a Ph.D at a teaching hospital, no less.)

It's an interesting study - but tennis is fundamentally a very bad model for understanding the impact of technology on the employment market. A better tennis player does not produce more 'tennis' than a bad player. So, no matter how the technology changes, the number of tennis players required is unaffected.

Technological change in the workplace almost always refers to technology that makes a worker more productive. Since the demand for most things is constant, this means you need less workers for a given product. So, the problem would not be old workers being worse at their jobs - the problem would be that, absent external factors, there would be less jobs around.

Any competent sound engineer is wearing ear protection, so you're usually hearing a better mix with ear plugs in. Your plugs colour the sound slightly, but the mix engineer is subconsciously compensating for the colouration of his own plugs.

If the sound engineer isn't wearing ear plugs, the same logic probably applies. Noise-induced hearing loss has roughly the same effects on your hearing as earplugs, acting like a shallow lowpass filter.
+1 for elfeed!

Using that with eww for reading articles has made checking the news a very pleasant experience for me.
Most American homes are not roughed in for a toilet like that. The waste pipe will be in the floor, about 12 to 14 inches from the wall. So installing one of these in an existing home is going to require changing both your water and waste plumbing and opening a pretty big hole in the floor and the wall to get at all of that. Additionally this is about 6x the price of a standard toilet. Not too surprising why they aren't that common.
Even if you don't use Emacs as an editor, consider using it just for elfeed (or magit). It works on almost every platform in existence and is rock solid.
Thanks. The spherical wave assumption used in the calculation is not compatible with the focusing effect, and could be wildly wrong in this case.
Niantic were 100% responsible of making sure the connections would work. They are a large organisation and 100% should have hired technicians to test the networks before organizing the event. That's basic due diligence.

That's like organizing an event on the roof of a building, but the roof wasn't made to support so many people and it caves in during the event. Sure they didn't build the building, but they still should've checked it could handle their needs.
It probably depends on how much you interact with them (by choice or luck). My interactions (via Kimsufi) have been: creating a server once, then paying them four times a year. So far that's been flawless :)
The problem is that same password is required in the web interface for administrative settings. And a web interface can always be compromised, as it can always inject some extra JS code in one of your sessions, without you having any way to verify that the JS blob you got served is the same you got the last time or that it’s the same blob that all the other users are getting.

This is actually an important attack vector and AgileBits themselves admitted the possibility. Imagine that a compromised HTTPS root certificate can open the door to a huge man-in-the-middle attack, which is totally within the reach of governments or of well funded crime syndicates.

Also the cloud sync is no longer optional. The standalone version is no longer available anywhere on their website and Google doesn’t help either.

At this point the standalone version is still available only for those in the know, being on life support probably to not piss old timers off. At least they are thinking about us, I’ll grant them that.
Pretty much everything has RSS feeds. Random blogs, webcomics, even major sites like YouTube.

If it puts out content on a regular basis, chances are you can subscribe to it via RSS.
Some "players" like Stitcher are trying their best to get away from that, though. And they're seeing moderate success, too.

I feel like podcasts have simply been overlooked by big media types, and the day is coming where enough power will concentrate and advertisers will only want to give money to networks instead of individual podcasts.

Enjoy the freedom while it lasts. I think 5 years from now, no individuals will be able to make money from it without joining a "network."

How a Car Saves from a Serious Accident
Generally most of us humans are anthropocentric, even though we want to balance that with respect for the environment.
It certainly is permitted to fail by spec. The goal of the entire overcommit / OOM killer business is to yield better real-world outcomes.

If I have overcommit off, and a program that allocates more than half of my physical memory (RAM + swap), it can't fork - even if it's going to immediately exec a tiny program. If I have overcommit on, it can fork and exec, and nobody gets OOM killed.

The tradeoff is that, if I have overcommit on and the child process starts modifying every page instead of exec'ing, then the OOM killer triggers. The bet is that a) probably the child process will be killed, since it has the most physical memory in use (assuming the parent process has not touched every page it has allocated), so this isn't worse than preventing the child process in the first place, and b) this situation is rare.

Or on a 27in 5k display iMac.
I work for a company that tried to do exactly this and we ended up pivoting to enterprise once our technology matured. The money just isn't there, that's why this service doesn't exist. Podcasts are cheap to host and easy enough to produce that nobody is going to invest serious money unless they are a big producer like Gimlet, Slate, NPR, etc. In those cases they have their own resources and technology stacks. There's little need to rely on a third party like us.

Everybody else just used YouTube.

Or "better" (for some value of better), join the data to something identifiable (e.g., the public records you listed) before developing models for everything you want to retain, then discard the original data once your deep enough net has effectively auto-encoded whatever you wanted to retain in an identifiable manner.
We don't know that is what happened. Tesla is using weasel wording to confuse.
>I don’t understand why it is so impossible for these companies to act humbly and with a sense of dignity around all this.

Because humility requires you to admit wrongdoing, which from a legal standpoint is not advisable in a public statement.
True, that WAS a deficiency, though one that seems to be fixed now.

Given that dependencies are also resolved by name in the Ruby & Python I'd think there's no technical reason for why a similar thing wouldn't happen, is there?
>> That is Not acceptable of a self driving system.

Yes. But as we all know autopilot is not the same as self-driving.

>> And no, you can't get out of culpability by claiming statistical superiority.

In fact no one has found Tesla culpable for the accident. You can however defend the safety of your system by referring to statistics. (In fact that is the ONLY way to measure safety level) And your analogy does not hold. It it more like a parachute company saying their parachutes are safer than other brands because it fails less often than the other brands. Which brings me to my final point. Even if it turns out Tesla was culpable and negligent in this accident, it would not be a complete judgment if we leave out the inherent risks in car manufacturing and the incidents attributed to other companies.
Pretty close to how most people source. You can just leave out the ^ it's just an inline [1], [2] etc.
There are now hard and fast rules though, it's just common practice.

The credits are probably because it’s a way to get to you to pay in front rather than after the billing period. Some other cloud companies do this too so it’s not too far out.

However, it’s a better UX and less hassle to just bill customers in actual dollars/euros than in “MyCompany Credits” (that probably map 1:1 or 1:100 or 1:1000 to USD)
