Spent quite a while on the Wimbledon problem before giving up and reading the answer. But the answer is wrong, because they don’t play tiebreakers at Wimbledon (or any of the grand slams besides the US Open). Pretty frustrating TBH. Kind of felt the same about the padlocked boxes one too, although at least that one is more just a little ambiguous vs outright wrong.

> This hits pretty close to home. I've been seeing therapists for my anxiety but they haven't really helped much

My personal experience was similar - I’ve seen numerous therapists over the years before finally meeting a therapist who did help very much. It seems to me that finding a good therapist - one who is both objectively good at his job and subjectively fits your needs in his work method and personality - is hard.

I think this is something that gets missed a lot. Any therapist worth his salt would tell you that therapy is a long process which requires time to succeed. And that’s true, but it also makes it even harder to find a good fit. None of my non-matching therapists ever told me I should consider a different therapist, even when in retrospect it was the right thing to do after giving their own process a good long chance. While the principal-agent problem may be a factor, I think the main reason is the therapists’ sincere will to help (with their own process). But it also means that unless you are already aware of the fact that therapists aren’t all similar, given the super-subjective nature of the therapy process, you might incorrectly give up on the prospect of finding a good therapist for you, or be stuck with a non-matching therapist for too long.

I wouldn’t usually share something this personal on HN, but I did hoping it might encourage you to not give up on finding your therapist.

Then you've been manipulated by Trump who says fake news to everything, so that it looks as if he's calling bad reporting out even though he is the biggest fake news spreader. Have you thought about that?

It's the same as turkey calling other countries dictatorships and Nazis, so that they can't be called that.

It's a very common manipulation strategy.
The financial success of the titans of the tech industry is driven by monopolies and heavy use of tax havens. The salaries are generous for these reasons. Canada - and indeed any country - could easily do something about this if it had the political will to do so. Strengthening and enforcing anti trust laws would be one example; cracking down on aggressive tax avoidance would be another. Then you'd at least have a level playing field for Canadian companies.
This is where my grandparents met. My grandfather was a chemist. My great grandfather was a machine operator for one of the construction companies commissioned to build the town. He brought his daughter along with him and she ran away with a scientist (my grandfather). They are passed away now but their stories of Oak Ridge were so fascinating.

My grandfather always maintained some secrecy as to what his responsibilities at Oak Ridge were, but his expertise in uranium was well-known. He gave many talks at universities, etc. on the topic. He continued working for the Nuclear Energy Commission for the rest of his career. His next job was working at a facility in Waverly, OH which was disguised as a Goodyear plant. My mother and her siblings thought their father worked at a tire factor for most of their childhood. They insist this secret went more or less unquestioned.

Especially not newspapers. Not only their information often isn’t balanced, it is sometimes so much propaganda filled with verifiable false facts (e.g. on the wage gap) that I wish they would disappear. I mostly use them only to take snapshots and build videos about how the press publishes false information or correct information worded in such a way that the reader gets the wrong idea.

I would pay for Youtube. Or rather, for good youtubers. In fact, I donate using Patreon on a monthly basis to a few youtubers who provide accurate news. QED...

No wonder they are dubbed as “Washington Compost” or “Confabulated News Network”. And same for any social network (Twitter, Facebook and Youtube) who censor right-wing informtion, not only I don’t care about their ad revenue, but if they disappeared because of this, it would be a net win for society. Neither newspapers nor social networks will disappear, unfortunately.

They don't play tiebreakers in the fifth set. All other sets work normally. The answer is correct because it's only talking about the first three sets.
It doesn't.

In terms of technical details, I request that the publisher send me:

- How many ads they want on the page

- The client IP address (at least within a /20 of it)

- The client user agent (they can strip hex/numbers at the end that are added by some US-based Internet providers)

- Some keywords/topics (if they want contextually-targeted ads)

- A cookie they have dropped for the purposes of ad retargeting/blocking if they've obtained a preference from the user to do so.

In return, I send them a list of objects containing:

+ a title for the ad (supplied by the advertiser), no HTML permitted

+ a "description" for text ads (also supplied by the advertiser). <a> and <b> tags permitted, but no other HTML.

+ an image for the ad (also supplied by the advertiser) delivered as a data URI. I verify that it's actually an image (jpeg or png)

+ a "click through url" that points at a domain that the publisher has given me (usually something like ads.mysite.com) that I host -- they have to point the NS for this domain at my name servers

+ a preference url that indicates that the user didn't like this ad. This can be called server-to-server.

I still believe in content sponsorship, even though some mega-ad networks like Google have screwed publishers and consumers hard, and it's nice to see moderated consumer views here: There's a lot of people on HN against any form of advertising on the grounds of some kind of "eyeball rape"
Fucking dickwads in this thread who can't understand that violence has solved more problems in human history than any other solution.

Its like, "oh, I live in a peaceful society, therefore all other societies in the history of humanity should have known better" when they don't realize that america is very violent, has always been violent, and has more capacity for violence than any other society in the history of the planet. Don't you realize that your "peace" is literally maintained by the us' overwhelming threat of force?

To be fair, Doug Ford winning would be partially the liberals' fault. Kathleen Wynne is hated, and they for some reason had her lead again. They've got some great plans, but the way elections work makes it really easy for Doug Ford to pander hard to suburbites who only give a shit about lower taxes and real estate.

Frankly, as a Toronto area dev Doug Ford winning the election would definitely cause me to consider looking for work in the US. Toronto's in a pretty crucial moment right now wrt growth and infrastructure, and I don't really see the point staying if the party of stagnation wins - whatever tax cut they may introduce is dwarfed by higher salary + lower CoL in the US anyways.
This varies in place and time. I think close to 50% of my travels on a recent trip were checked.

Great, great work! Congratulations!

Do you support transfer-learning, for instance, pre-trained models on ImageNet? A lot of problems have limited dataset, and can only work by training the last layers of a pre-trained model?

And do you support training on cloud-based public datasets? Uploading a large public dataset doesn't make much sense.

Really looking forward to trying your platform!

They are saying that they want to demonstrate a convincing point from where it's infeasible to use the tactic of breaking new ground classically to simulate quantum devices breaks because the exponential complexity means that the classical devices are beyond our capability as a society, and will remain that way for at least a long time if not forever. At that point having a quantum computer that is constructible and can do these problems is at least valuable for this task. Until then the only point of quantum computers is that it's an interesting idea. But, quantum supremacy is just a first step; simulating quantum devices of various sorts is important science, but there is a long way to go before quantum computing can be implemented that is useful for the rest of the feasible tasks that people talk about using it for. I would like to see a list of the tasks that are understood to be targets for quantum computing and a projected timeline - has anyone got one? When do people in the community believe that we will have a workable device that can do Grover's algorithm for 10^52 bits?

Surely we can do much better as a society than to defend a system where people are treated as 'cogs', especially when it concerns an industry that is particularly known for abuse of young people?

I've had plenty of jobs where I wasn't just a 'cog', and where my boss treated me like a proper human. I also try to do the same when others work for me. And as far as I can tell this is a perfectly workable approach.

And while I do understand it's easy to adjust to whatever system you find yourself part of, however complicit it makes you, actively defending it as 'just the way it is' and calling its critics 'cruel' just baffles me.

(err, not 'you' as in you. Just people. It's happened to me, so I'm no saint.)

Excellent recommendation.

Ad blockers are good enough, I think.

I run an ad network that serves ads server<->server (I just wrote up how it works[1] for someone else) and I suspect this approach will become more popular to cover the people who "don't mind ads as such".

The topic was more on google free, than FOSS. To go fully FOSS, you have to walk some extra miles and just don't use these services. I don't, so in the case of WhatsApp, you're lucky because they offer official apk (https://www.whatsapp.com/android/) and have an autoupdate function. As mentioned, the backup service has do be done manually. As I said before, for other proprietary Apps, you can use p.a. Yalp store, which downloads apks directly from play store. There are of course some Apps, that fully depends on play services, which I cannot use. MicroG is no real alternative, because it still communicates with Google service AFAIK.
Quite a level-headed and reasonable overview for such a short text. At least at face-value. Could someone more knowledgeable in the subject step in and comment on his information and arguments?
Not just that. Defining a successful startup as a startup that exited is a bit narrow of a definition. A bootstrapped startup that has sustainable growth and can remain independent is successful in my book.
The problem is how to finance the hundred thousand micropublishers. To avoid the adnetwork trash effect you’d need someone big, like medium, to implement some well integrated advertisement with revenue sharing, like youtube.

Failing that affiliate and ad networks and maybe microfinancing like patreon are the only things to get something out of micropublishing.

Doesn’t seem fair.
The unstated observation made in Unwanted Expansion is that if every variable is equal to 2, then every operation in the expression must increase the total by at least 2 (note that only addition and multiplication are allowed, not subtraction or division). In other words, an expression with n terms or factors will always evaluate to at least 2n. This puts an upper bound on how far any finite-valued expression can be expanded.

I'd say applying the 'principle of charity' would help here.

He's probably in an environment where this is a hot button issue, so he's addressing it specifically to avoid your kind of derailing comment (but I guess from what some would call the SJW audience).

More importantly, he's describing a feeling that many people with depression suffer from, a kind of 'impostor syndrome' that can make the whole thing worse and actively prevent people from finding help. I've felt it too, and I've known plenty of people who are the opposite of 'white, heterosexual, cisgender man' who have felt it too. You think so little of yourself that you don't even allow yourself to be depressed, because others have it so much worse. It doesn't help, and it's bullshit.

I do find myself confused that the fact that he considers himself privileged and wants to use this for good is somehow offensive enough to you to make you lose all sympathy. Is that how you actually feel, or are you exaggerating?
I’d take exception to embedded software and robotics, where reuse and safety usually take precedence over performance, although I’d agree that a minority of such applications may be good examples.

Apart from that, I agree with your list but I’d consider them to be very specialised domains that are not like the vast majority of software development, especially building conventional apps like OneNote (a document database).

honestly, then y'all are mostly responsible. If you are going to have a younger student do a guest blog post, you should make sure that the project makes sense technically, or at least is not silly. What if the student tried to train a neural net to build a perpetual motion machine and reported their progress on that? Would you have posted it? That project would be about the same level of silliness as what is reported here. I don't blame them at all for doing a silly thing, but I surely blame you for making it your guest blog post.

I think you’re under the impression that VS is stagnating and VSC is active because VSC has to catch up to 20 years of features. Even just a few months ago VSC was missing a ton of features, but every release brings more advanced IDE features. Only recently has it replaced Sublime Text as my default text editor. That’s just simply editing text.

VSC still hasn’t replaced PyCharm for me when I want to make large scale edits to python code.

I think a lot of young folks (many in HN) know history from what they watch/read/hear in daily news, which is a terrible source. So that may be why.

Major nations of modern era (since end of WW2) have not gone to total wars simply because of the availability of nukes. Not because people suddenly became enlightened and refused to fight a war.
That's true, but that's also talking about something else.

Brooks was saying that if the project is late you can't speed it up by adding more people to it because the current team members then need to spend less time working on production and instead spend that time getting the new people up to speed.

In contrast, if you're digging a ditch and that project is late then you can definitely speed it up by adding more people. They can work in parallel and the new workers already have the skills needed to contribute immediately.

The GP was talking about ongoing communication overhead for people that are already on the team.

> Isn't this materially the same as....

No it's not. Are you suggesting that because a crime is so prevalent it should be ignored? As long as a crime is a crime and people commit that crime you can expect consequences for that crime. We live in a nation of rules and laws.

Anyway let's visit the facts:

- 59% of black prisoners sentenced to more than 1 year in state prison were sentenced for a violent offense, not drug crimes.

- More than half of the extra prisoners added in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s were imprisoned for violent crimes; two thirds were in for violent or property crimes. Only about a fifth of prison inmates are incarcerated for drug offenses. Only a fraction of those for marijuana.

- Black Democrats and the NAACP were instrumental in enforcing tough sentences for drug crime as drugs were decimating their communities.

So violent crime is still the main reason for the incarceration rates. As for those incarcerated for drug crimes - perhaps there are too many imprisoned but it's mostly for selling hard drugs, not weed. And even if it was weed, it's not slavery.

> Is "Don't do the crime, don't do the time" a reasonable thing to say in an environment of such intense selective enforcement?

Yes, yes it is. And the 95% of blacks (and any race for that matter) that don't do drugs would agree.

Yeah, it's a knee-jerk response that's been trained into people to help them rationalize staying in Canada. I explain to friends/family/etc.: "I was offered 3x my salary to move to Seattle [from Vancouver]" and every goddamn time I hear "Oh, but I've heard Seattle is very expensive these days, so it probably cancels out!" Yes, Seattle is more expensive than Vancouver! About 25% more. And I make 3x as much money. I put literally 10x as much money into savings every year than I did when I lived in Vancouver.
True. But I'd still deem that to be a very scary world.
