The problem is, you might think that but this is senior leadership putting out an email that is setting the general culture and direction for the company. He’s explicitly recognising and endorsing “questionable” (his words!) decisions made.

He can’t come back and say he didn’t mean it. Besides, if he was trying to spark debate, doesn’t that mean he though my it was even potentially justifiable to use unethical practices to drive growth?
You do know that this low interest period is very unusual?

I mentioned it because I was one of those kids. There was nothing "cool" about it, and I found my persistent insomnia, relative to high school schedules, frustrating at best. I got detentions several times for falling asleep in the middle of classes I personally found interesting.

I can only tell you what my personal experience is. I laid it out more in another comment under rjurney's reply.

I'll also add that I am more frequently searching for 15 minutes then switching to another service. I used to find a movie to watch in 5 minutes. I am a big movie person too, and will watch most things. But I am also more aware that if I watch one show that is just "meh", then I am going to be bombarded with shows of similar quality for the next few weeks.

Also, there is a fairly obvious pattern that shows up from the movies in "my list". Those do not seem to be weighted more heavily.
It's kind of culty here, but I don't think that's out of the ordinary for silicon valley. There is a lot of internal debate and discussion about things, as well. It's not a hive mind.
It sure seems that way. It's almost as if Netflix is giving in to pressure from content owners (which now includes themselves) to downplay or even weaken their suggestions.

First, they got rid of those wonderful ranked lists that made us love Netflix in the first place, replacing them with the much more opaque cover art carousel view. Then they started mixing in lower-ranked items into the carousel. Finally, they switched from the five-star rating to the thumbs up and down buttons, which can't possibly give them as much information about your opinion.
Shell is yielding over 6% and depending on when you brought your implied yield is much higher
Conversely, I've suffered through being a night owl with 6am and 7am shifts for years by trying to force myself to bed early. I've tried it all: meditation, exercise, melatonin, sleeping pills, etc etc. I'm just not wired to be a morning person.

So I gave up and asked if I could start coming in at 9am instead. Never felt better.

The world can be surprisingly adaptive sometimes.
Because the body has a cycle of hormone release that makes people alert or tired at different times and trying to change it is almost impossible. There is a theory that we evolved different sleep schedules so that one member of a tribe would be awake at any point in time to be alert to danger. This is not a question of mere will or discipline. You try staying awake until 7am every night and see how it feels.
Please stop quoting this article. One third of it was wrong at the time it was written. One third is just opinion. The last third is somewhat valid but a lot of it has been fixed since then.

The author never actually used PHP and just collected a bunch of "facts" from the Internet without even testing some of these things himself.

You've just given me an interesting idea for an extension to HTML itself - an anchor tag / link type where the text displayed can and must only be equal to the href value of the link. Additionally, any rendering client could render such a link with a special visual cue, perhaps, to help the user understand that the visible link text should equal the link href value and only the link href value.

Could just be, maybe you could make an anchor tag which is like, <a href="http://www.google.com"> without a closing tag, and browsers know to render that where the text displayed equals the value of the href. Additionally, clients could detect such links and give them a visual cue to indicate they are "safe(r)" relatively speaking?

Just an idea that popped in when you said this.
Felon here!

Being a felon has impacted my life in several ways. I'm going on almost 10 years of being labeled a felon, so I have some stories to tell as to how it's impacted my life:

I've struggled with relationships ("omg my parents Googled you"), friendships ("I googled you"), finding a place to live ("sorry, we don't accept people with a criminal history like yours"), bank accounts ("sorry, we can't give you a bank account due to your criminal history"), payment processing accounts ("sorry, we can't accept you to process payments on our platform because of your criminal history")... list goes on.

But I've never, ever had a problem finding work. Maybe it's because of how I go about finding work.

I don't work in corporate environments by choice, as I'm just a terrible fit. I've worked with headhunters without issue, and I've applied to Who is Hirings without issue. I've worked as a business entity with larger-ish companies without issue too (but they're still small enough to not be super corporate)

It's one of the first things I tell people when I wouldn't work under a registered entity: "just a heads up there is no way in hell I'll pass any sort of background check whatsoever"

Somewhat ironically, what's on Google, or any news outlet, is significantly less severe than what a thorough and complete background check will show because of how the courts proceeded (at least for me)

Would love to talk more about getting you in the right direction. Email's in my profile.
The article says that numerous studies show it doesn’t do this.
We adapt to weird behavior all the time. I once found my brake pedal went right to the floor while driving. Then it fixed itself. I drove carefully after that but still kept using it. The other day my engine started revving up uncontrollably until I pulled over and turned it off. It's been fine since. I still drive it. Would you blame someone if their check engine light was on or the steering felt a bit wobbly?

This all or nothing mentality doesn't often end up being useful in practice. For example, try doing some deep learning on Linux with CUDA without installing closed source NVIDIA drivers. The important detail is who provided the software and in this case most people are going to trust Apple or NVIDIA significantly more than a small third-party software developer they've never heard of.

(FWIW many of us tried running Linux as a desktop OS but found the UI and driver situation to be abysmal so it continues to just power our servers)
keep in mind, 'they think they figured out why roman concrete was so good' many times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_concrete#See_also

"The strength and longevity of Roman marine concrete is understood to benefit from a reaction of seawater with a mixture of volcanic ash ... The result is a candidate for "the most durable building material in human history." In contrast, modern concrete exposed to saltwater deteriorates within decades"
Legally, no. But to understand his behavior - yes, it is interesting why a smart person would do knowingly illegal thing for such a measly (compared to the risk if he'd be caught) gain.
As a "night owl" having trouble to adjust to schedules imposed by "early birds" I find your comment offensive. I don't drink alcohol nor take drugs and didn't go to parties because I found it mostly a waste of time. I worked hard, but it is impossible to be good, when you are constantly sleep deprived.
Can anyone comment on how this works space-wise? Does that mean that each node will carry a copy of the whole database? Is there some geography-based sharding or something?

Cause I won't run a node of that if that means I'll need some petabytes of space and an awfully large bandwidth.
I made one for myself! It's not the most mature solution or the most fully-featured but I think it's good at what it does:

Sam Harris, Charles Murray, and the allure of race science
Maybe if we recognize biological differences and structure society to align with that diversity we will get better performance out of everyone. I think it’s kind of insane that we all cram onto roads at the exact time so we can get to the office at the exact time. Why not have staggered schedules; especially if that means better performance from more people.
Their example is a wallet with 10 bitcoin, 3 were stolen.

* poison: all BTC is the wallet is considered stolen, and all BTC in every wallet the BTC moves through from there is considered stolen

* haircut: BTC in the wallet is considered 30% stolen, and it's diluted as the money moves through other wallets

* FIFO (their solution): the first 3 BTC transferred from the wallet is considered stolen

But, the principle given in the paper is "nobody can give what isn’t theirs". Why isn't it the last 3 BTC transferred from the wallet that's considered stolen? The wallet had 7 legitimately acquired BTC to spend, so why isn't spending beyond that 7 what's tracked?

Someone could have a wallet or bank account (from the 1816 example) and not know stolen amounts were given to them. The first amount they spend should be considered legitimate.

Me too, this feels like another case of better off not knowing. Being a childhood fan of Ren and Stimpy cartoons, and having read the article realizing that Katie Rice worked for Spumco, now I get why I like the art style for Katie's webcomics Skadi and Camp Weedonwantcha. I really hope the content of the article isn't the reason for the current hiatus of the camp comic. I was really struck by her quote at the end about wishing she hadn't gone through it even if would have made her a less skilled artist.
yeah, ok. but i still predict a Trump loss in 2020, if he's even in the race.

my overall point is that these issues are enough to keep a reasonable or perhaps substantial fraction of the previous Trump voters at home on Election Day in 2020.

by contrast, we will see a huge fraction of Trump opponents dance into the polling stations on Election Day 2020.

forecasters should not take all of these past Trump voters for granted in 2020. there's just not enough good news to make them enthusiastic.

That arrangement would be considered a co-op in the United States.

While such an arrangement is possible and legal everywhere something like 95% of all co-ops are in New York City.
I would not sell your house just rent it out in case you need to come back. When I was young 5 or 6 the family next door moved Seattle to work for boing - they kept the house in the UK and rented it out which was lucky as when boing went through mass layoffs they had a house to come home to.
Yes it uses the YouTube api.
Isn't the accuracy of the predictions kind of orthogonal to the fact that they were basically lying in their attempts to change behavior?

Using lies to convince someone to do something is going to be more effective than using truth, if that "something" is not in accordance with the truth.

The comparison with netflix really breaks down there. You're not going to be able to convince me that I liked Crash, so recommendations based off of that aren't going to be very useful to me.

But if you reinforce my false belief that Obama and Soros are gonna use the deep state to invoke Sharia Law on the 2nd amendment, then that might better convince me to vote for so and so.

This is why C++ is so nice. Constexpr fits the bill perfectly instead of using these non-portable hacks.
Rust has what we often call a "lightweight" formal method. These are those with simpler types of specification and/or more automated use. They tend to be quite specialized since that improves automation. The limited properties it proves are why it's so much easier to use than the general methods.

Also note that the problems the borrow checker handles are really hard to do safely in general without overhead. They're hard to test for and debug, too. So, the use of a limited logic with automation just for that makes sense. It's why the other tools for C code were developed, too. Before that, people were using things like SPIN model checker for such things. Again, that looks like overkill to get just a few safety properties vs Rust's built-in method that's simpler.
It is not African fauna that is guaranteed extinction, it is humanity.

Our species will come and go having done little more than left an mass extinction event in the fossil record. A record that will never be perceived since our specie's experiment in sentience was clearly a serious evolutionary error.

All Giraffes or any species need do is wait out the storm. Thus, if we care to, all that needs happen is to convince humans to keep a given species around in a wild state until humanity finally wipes it self out. I imagine a millennia at most.

Not going to happen. The moment that leaked out both parties would lose all trust from the industry. That's a hell of a hypothetical question though.
Snap, hours later as I was looking for some things relating to setting up dnscrypt-proxy2 I landed on https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy and spotted a certain similarity between the usernames of that GitHub user and the person that had responded to me on HN earlier.

Thanks for making this :) Also, thanks for using the ISC license, it is my favorite license.

PS: And additionally then, the text I was quoting from https://dnscrypt.info/faq was probably written by you. Good thing I was sufficiently convinced by what you said that I didn't argue against it, that'd been embarrassing. Embarrassing but also funny ofc ;)

Edit, another 40 minutes later: And you've authored libsodium, and you've done a bunch of other really cool things also. Holy crap! I'd buy you a beer if I ever met you but you are probably way busy anyway lol.

This seems like precisely the thing that a mixer service exists to defeat. I'd be curious to see how effective the approach is after the coins pass through such a service.

Personally, I remain unconvinced that coins could be reliably traced through an "ideal" mixer service that moves a large number of coins between a large number of addresses via a large number of transactions.

Edit: A further requirement would be that the service would have to involve a large number of "legitimate" coins. This does disregard the possibility that the so-called legitimate coins would be considered illegitimate simply by association with said service.

That said, perhaps the difficulty lies in actually meeting such requirements.

Ask HN: Cross-browser bookmark sync options
LastPass is shutting down XMarks on 2018-05-01.

What options exist for people who need to synchronise bookmarks between their browsers (so 'chrome sync' and 'firefox sync' aren't answers) AND don't want to use a web page to do it?

I just want to use the Bookmark Bar in each browser (Chrome, Chromium, and FireFox) on any of my computers, and know changes will propagate within a few minutes.

Are bookmark formats complex, or is it the delta/diff/merge algorithms, or the cost of maintaining different browser extensions, that explains why no genuinely similar solutions seem to exist?

Presumably XMarks source will not be released after they shut the service down.

I think you've misread the question. Grandparent isn't asking why use cmp_once at all; they're asking, why not always force the single evaluation of x and y (i.e., always use cmp_once and let the compiler optimizer reduce the resulting expression)? A responsive answer is given in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16720118 .
It is about meeting in the middle. I had a job when I had to be in office at 9 and it was just a nightmare, because to get on time I had to wake up early and only able to sleep 5 hours. Another job was more flexible and I was able to get in at 10. That meant over 6 hours of sleep for me. Imagine the difference between sleeping 5 hours every night or 6-7. This is a huge difference, by shifting things later by an hour. It wouldn't make a difference for morning person.
And where do you develop and compile apps for those iPhones? ;)

Sorry I was going to have a “demo” version and have my own playlists as a demo, but I ultimately decided against it since Spotify is cracking down on free tier stuff and I wasn’t sure what it did. But basically it logs into your account and I use the Spotify API to pull your playlist metadata and populate the screen with your playlists, and then when you want to play a song it searches the YouTube api for that artist/song music video. You can check out the source code, it’s only readonly stuff. I can make a video when I get the time if it’s the major factor against logging in, I completely understand!
Ah, that's because cmp_once doesn't yield a constant even when the inputs are constant. The reason that matters is there are some arrays in the kernel declared like

int things[max(size1, size2)];

and there's been recently a push to remove all VLAs (arrays with non constant size) from the kernel. The -Wvla flag was warning about these arrays even though they're actually constant size, so something needed to be done.
While I may not like it, I am glad that buzzfeed has managed to find a way to support good journalism. I almost wonder if they wouldn't be better off segregating these pieces from the rest of their content, as it seems to me that there are likely two entirely different audiences for each type.
The culture of enforced monogamy also involved closeted gay people getting married to people they had no sexual relationship with and hiding their real relationships, rampant alcoholism and domestic violence, many depressed and anxious people stuck in relationships they were unhappy in but felt social pressure not to leave, women with out-of-wedlock children and people who (for any number of reasons) never wanted to get married being ostracized by their communities, women systematically excluded from many careers and positions of social/political power, trusted institutions like the Catholic church covering up large-scale sexual abuse of children, etc. etc.

Cherrypicking a single summary statistic gives a far too rosy impression of past sexual/family culture. Ultimately if you go back far enough the original purpose of sexual mores related to marriage were primarily about clarifying and maintaining patriarchal land inheritance and designating women and children as chattel of the male head of household.
No, we haven't. The more civilized among us, like the Dutch, have gotten rid of them as much as they can, and other places promote public transport too.

Door to door canvassers these days carry devices that tell you what topics to bring up and what topics not to bring up at a certain address, even distinguishing between individuals at an address; some are told to demand a husband let them talk to the wife, for example.
2 people but only one consistent regular user. My recommendations are heavily biased towards the occasional user - who is also giving very strong negative feedback?

It doesn't bother me since I know what I like. There are not that many good films that I'm not going to find them anyway.

So I’ve gone down so many rabbit holes for this and ultimately it’s tough as shit. The main thing I’m thinking at this point is just starting my own caching database using fire base and mapping the proper YouTube video id to Artist->Song. Then that way I would know id have the correct music video for that song. The only problem there is it would require a bunch of manual verification and stuff. If anyone has a better idea on how to do this I’d love the help! At the end of the day this is just a cool little open source side project for people who love music videos! Thanks for the reply
