It cant be understated how a bad review on yelp can tear your practice down and put you on the street. Figure a physician sees 16 to 22 patients a day, and if one of them tanks you you can lose everything.

Review wars are real in all retail businesses, its pretty sad.

I cannot imagine a lawyer would condone the HIPAA violation, I wonder if there are exceptions when the patient has made that information public before you (patient said she had x, and you say "We did not diagnose x") or smth.
I can guarantee you that most people who went through CS in college never had a course like that.
This is a great question, and one that I also have.

I think the responders (so far) are missing the crucial point that you suggest publishing in both arxiv and the journal of choice.

So the journal of choice, behind a paywall, gives you the prestige and tenure.

Meanwhile, arxiv hands the information over to other academics.
Try these string keys:

{ i * "a" : i = 1 to n }

(also great for breaking string sorts)
Not really. That would imply people value every aspect of a politician/party platform the same, and will give up on various beliefs to fight for other rights and benefits.

The problem is that you've got a two party system where groups that don't share much in common are lumped together and people are voting for the 'least worst' option. There's no reason the social and economic positions of the Democrats/Republicans have to be linked together like they are.

If they weren't, people may vote differently.
> why would a consumer be interested in cooperating? No one likes ads, right?

Let's assume I can't block ads or choose not to block them to support site/service I'm using.

If that was the case I'd rather see relevant ads as long as they were targeted based on a subset of information about myself I've decided to provide, to the parties of my choosing and with usage restricted to that single purpose only.
Wow. Why the hell would anyone use Venmo?
I don't think these kinds of examples should be lumped into the category of "diversity/inclusion or gender politics" issues. If it's indistinguishable from trolling or satire, then it shouldn't be given any weight. Even if they are being actually earnest we shouldn't let their extreme views color our perception of more reasonable discussions.
I’ll tell you one reason why, and maybe your curiosity will lead you down further rabbit holes.

I use Venmo exclusively for sending money to girls from Tinder. If you look at my stream, you’ll see transactions sending money to tons of babes, often with suggestive comments. Other girls sometimes see this, and decide they too want in on the action.

Pretty great what giving out some dollars on the internet can do for your rep. For a developer making six figures in Silicon Valley, it should be no big deal at all.
You've heard only one side so far.
> So you get to choose who we perceive as our competitors now?

No, I don't as I am not Namecheap employee. I don't work or approve off companies that serve US-based clientele, but constantly outsource their customer support to Eastern-block countries and hire people that barely speak English. I think its anti-american frankly speaking, but I don't think you are American citizen anyways so this doesn't apply.

But I do chose who competes for my dollars, so its unfair to show me competitors that you know don't have certain features, while you purposely avoiding those who do have those features. Unless you so out of touch with supposedly your market (anyone can create HN account with "CEO" in it) that you are not aware Dreamhost and Namesilo are offering these services for FREE for many years by now.

And if you really happen to be a Namecheap CEO (highly doubt and scary to think a CEO has time to post on HN) then I'm glad you posted this, as you are only reassuring me in my decision to move out all my domains long time ago.
The Information Commissioner's Office (the regulatory body in the UK) says:

Who needs to document their processing activities?

There is a limited exemption for small and medium-sized organisations. If you have fewer than 250 employees, you only need to document processing activities that: are not occasional; or could result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals; or involve the processing of special categories of data or criminal conviction and offence data.

GDPR is designed to be easy for small organisations to adhere to. No documentation needed if you have only small, non-sensitive data flows. IANOL, of course.
Maybe when we are an interplanetary civilization, but then only if the balance of financial power shifts off of Earth.

We are still trying to dig ourselves out of old systems where “today” and “yesterday” are logically different and we hide the problems by assuming most users are asleep at midnight. Most new systems don’t have this problem but older ones equate “tomorrow” with “start of business the day after tomorrow”.

Can't we have some kind of PageRank system, not necessarily based only on citations, to solve that?

Your site is broken, does not work without JS.
I was one of the early adopters of Venmo. Here's my take on it:

* Venmo launched the first out of all the systems you mentioned

* Venmo was one of the few (maybe only) system that allows you to pay users who are not on their system. Say you need to pay Joe and you were a Venmo user but Joe wasn't. You could still "pay" them on venmo and they would get a text back saying if they signed up they would get the payment. No one else did this well when they launched

* Venmo integrated with facebook so many of the people I needed to pay were already in the system

* Venmo was the first free system to use

* Venmo was the first mobile friendly system to use. It was the first major system where I could split the bill real time at a restaurant

* Venmo paid early adopters to join (I think I received $2 to make my first payment)

It seems like a clear case of first mover advantage. I'm sure the systems you mentioned are now better, but at the time Venmo had the best UX and now that everyone I need to pay is on it, why would I switch? The few cents of interest loss I lose every year isn't worth finding out if everyone I need to pay is on one of the alternative systems.

Before this thread is sunk into oblivion; good question but please check your grammar. "Does it" -> "Is it". And I have a MBP and no I haven't upgraded. Haven't found any pressing reason to do so. I actually stall doing updates for like months since they take too long and I can't bother reopening all my chrome and mozilla windows. Probably I should but please don't hack me and don't tell my boss. He's one of the security-crazy-people.
Interesting article, how do you guys cope with badly written feedback or feedback that just doesn't make sense? I guess that this type of feedback could "pollute" your algorithms if you constantly use unverified feedback as training data?
Why not? It seems to be a pretty popular feature -- lots of people post things to be funny and/or brag about their lives. Most of social media exists for people to broadcast their experiences.
Yeah, but think about all the trash they must reject if they let the questionable things trough.

I’m also more sceptic that the flagship journals actually have declined, at least in part I suspect the critsism is just complains in the spirit of those about ”the youth of today”.
Uniregistry.com has had their own version of this. About $2/domain cheaper too I think.

If two spacecraft start going fast enough in different directions, they can disagree about what order two different events happened in. At that point, it's not enough to give an event a single time coordinate in some reference frame; you also need to know its position in space.
I had a more drawn out response but I realized that I was discussing things that I may not understand.

Honest question: if this person was claiming they were of the robot gender and that they wanted inclusion, would you deny that they were of that gender? How do you define it?

To those with less exposure, much of it seems subjective, the same way saying you're a "robot" (what does that mean to that person?) or you're a kin might.

Replace "robot" with "gender*" and it's indistinguishable in that sense. People will just as vehemently argue with you about people's assertions of gender, but that doesn't seem useful anymore.
Checking 2018e, that is in fact the last change to the database, though they also updated some past timestamps:

> From 1994 through 2017 Namibia observed DST in winter, not summer.

> In 1946/7 Czechoslovakia also observed negative DST in winter.

2018d had a change to palestine's DST date (a week earlier than usual), Casey Station moving from +11 to +08 and a few other historical changes/fixes.
That's why we love the JavaScript ecosystem so much: you have always got something to do!
It's a real shame that stuff like this is not taught in introductorry science classes. IMHO it's actually much more important to understand the process of science than its results, but modern science education concentrates almost exclusively on the latter. This leaves many students with the impression that science is nothing more than a list of "facts" to be memorized, with no understanding of why these facts are in fact facts. This leaves them wide open to believing pseudo-scientific claims, because to their eyes they are indistinguishable from real scientific claims.
The problem I have with copyright, patents etc. is what if tweaking the design makes sense? or Maybe not even to the larger market, but some subsection. To me 3d printers are cool because they make 3d printer parts. Don't get me wrong I get the reason for patents and copyrights. But, to me I think ARM had it right in patenting the design and building an ecosystem around it.

That's unfortunate because that is how consensus and dogmatic group-think emerge. People need to think for themselves.

I love learning but stayed away from college because I couldn't stand how fundamentally at odds traditional education routes are to creativity and free thinking.

Personally, I find Twitter and arxiv-sanity good sources for keeping up with ML. They have their own mechanism of surfacing popular content and filtering based on preferences.

"Did you hear about the clock maker who was the first to add a second hand to a clock? His first prototype was a complete failure, but he got it working the second time."

Very funny, but here's the real reason (https://www.etymonline.com/word/second):

> second (n) from Old French seconde, from Medieval Latin secunda, short for secunda pars minuta, "second diminished part," the result of the second division of the hour by sixty (the first being the "prime minute," now called the minute).

Etymonline.com is awesome. I use it several times a day.
Ask HN: What do you get busy with when you need to wait?
When I do work in software, I very often need to wait some short amount of time.

Right now, I am waiting for an SQL query to return some data I need to continue my work. The delay is not too long (less than a minute), and not too short (more than a few seconds).

Since it's not too long, I don't want to switch to a different task, because of the mental overhead of switching tasks. Since it's not too short, I don't want to simply stare at the screen until the query is done running.

What do you do when you need to wait when doing software work?
Debate on Role of Theory in Discipline of History
You are missing the primary directive behind most of the current administration's actions - undo as much as possible what the previous administration did.
The "somehow" is no mystery; discriminatory practice was (and still is) used to stack the deck against people in the United States based on the color of their skin for hundreds of years.

"President" was chosen as the title of the head of the US Executive Branch because it was a title with nearly no prestige; it was the sort of name you'd give to the Robert's Rules enforcer for community meetings. Words take on a connotation history provides them.
It's a more generalised problem than you probably think, and is a factor in virtually every multi-party accident. Even if the root cause of the accident is someone else's human error, this still leaves surrounding vehicles with a choice about how to respond to it: whether to take damage or inflict damage, and if the latter, then inflict damage upon whom.

For an AV, that's a trolley problem. For a human, it's not. We don't rationalise about such things: it occurs in an eyeblink, and gets covered under "shit happens". We convince ourselves that the outcome is inevitable, just a function of physics. But it isn't. Unlike humans AVs will have the ability and obligation to make choices in such situations; this is critical for their harm-reduction capabilities. When all of those choices are to some degree bad (which is very, very often), then it's a trolley problem. Which is why people who work on AVs are legitimately concerned with them.
> [...] and there is no such medical consensus. Not when people lose their jobs for speaking out.

At best this is an extremely tenuous inference.

If you can find researchers who are actually working in the area who've lost their jobs because of the outcomes of that research, then please do provide references.
Thank you for your comment. I fixed the grammar. :)

Likely with 'CloudKit End to End Encryption', see page 57 here: https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf

> CloudKit end-to-end encryption

> Apple Pay Cash, User keywords, Siri Intelligence, and Hey Siri use CloudKit end-to-end encryption with a CloudKit service key protected by iCloud Keychain syncing. For these CloudKit containers, the key hierarchy is rooted in iCloud Keychain and therefore shares the security characteristics of iCloud Keychain—the keys are available only on the user’s trusted devices, and not to Apple or any third party. If access
to iCloud Keychain data is lost (see “Escrow security” section later in paper), the data in CloudKit is reset, and if data is available from the trusted local device it is re-uploaded to CloudKit.
As someone that has stared at a number of those projects, at this point I'm pretty excited that there are a number of different alternatives which tweak different knobs in the solution space of the problem. I think in the next few years you'll see a winnowing of choices in each category, and problem bundling of the top tier choices into an effective PaaS solution.

Kube is very clearly in the expansion phase of its lifecycle but I doubt it will stay this way over the long run.

Additionally, I think the fact that the overall categories are pretty well chosen is a sign of how decently understood the macro problems are and that there's a good reason to hope that you'll end in a place with 1-2 dominant players in each.

>"The article discusses the methodology in-depth including the meat of the specific points you raise."

The meat of my methodological issues is that the survey has not been validated in any way as a measure of mortality. Where do they deal with that? From the supplement, it looks like this is a custom survey that has never been used before to me.

>"The study was published in a peer-reviewed journal by professionals who understand the subject intimately and whose conclusions carry overwhelmingly more weight than your off-the-cuff analysis, one which misses the overarching point that based on available data, it is a statistical near-certainty that hundreds or thousands of people died as a direct result of the hurricane."

Anyone who has looked at enough studies like this knows the results are typically highly questionable. My comment was more to alert them to which of the usual issues seem to be present. If you are still reliant on the "peer-reviewed" heuristic, then I agree that you should not listen to random people on the internet, or even in person, like me.

>"Had you been a victim, I sincerely doubt you'd be so concerned about the distinction between being drowned right away or dying of a medical issue that would have been preventable with care that would have otherwise been accessible before the hurricane."

Taken literally, this is true. If I had been a victim I would be dead, so I wouldn't care about anything at all. I think that is the more generous interpretation of you just wrote. If a family member had been a victim, I would definitely want such studies to distinguish between dying from drowning and dying due to eg lack of access to healthcare a week later. I don't see how it is helpful to conflate these two and confuse the public since they require different solutions.
The greatest value of journals isn't that three random people (give or take) have reviewed and suggested edits to the papers before publication.

The greatest value of journals is when hundreds or thousands (or, hell, dozens) of other people, well informed and competent in the subject matter, read the papers and consider how it meshes with their own experience and understanding and build upon it, writing letters to the journal pointing out problems and articles which follow up on the original work.

That is how an idea is validated. An article published in a journal that no one reads isn't much different than an unpublished article, and if work is spread, responded to, and built upon outside of journals, it isn't much different from a journal-published article.

> Oral arguments are for probing the cracks in the rhetorical armor.

They're not, and as pointed out below, even Rehnquist stated as much.

For SCOTUS, oral arguments are a formality. That doesn't mean they're not valuable, but their value comes from formalizing the arguments for thr record, because by that point, most of the interrogation (both literal and figurative) of the arguments has already been done.

I completely agree. It isn't like we don't deal with this already planning a flight to/from Vegas or having a call with someone on the other coast. Plus we can also get rid of the abomination that is daylight savings.

I think there is a simple plan that isn't disruptive. Simply require that all times be listed in both formats. For example, 9:00 am EDT (13:00 UTC) for all printed times on all signs, etc. moving forward from some day in the future. Eventually, we can drop the first as people adjust. (This is already how we re-number or rename highway exits)
I'm not sure how the licensing works, but would it be possible to allow guest users to act as a "speaker" - and only require Spotify Premium when upgrading to DJ features?

If I have a group of 100 people in a similar physical location, I'd like to be able to have 100 speakers in sync. Requiring them all to create an account, let alone purchase Spotify Premium, is unfortunately too much to ask.

If you have some control over the payment model, I'd even be interested in paying an extra fee as a DJ in order to enable more remote speaker connections.
> Base ten is lit and doing everything in twelve feels so uncivilized …

It's actually the reverse: base twelve is more elegant than base ten[0]. The only reason we think otherwise is that we're used to using base ten.

0: ½ in base twelve is .6; ⅓ in base twelve is .4, not .333333…; ¼ is .3; 1/6 is .2, not .166667
Admittedly I work outside academia (though my wife is a tenured professor) and thus have some unavoidable naïveté about how the culture and community work, but I’m always confused about why universities aren’t just sponsoring the organizational costs of coordinating the review process, and establishing community-driven open journals to replace the rent-seeking corporate journals. What am I missing about the benefits of the status quo keep it so entrenched?
I have both a /29 and a /32 of v6 space, and unless my ASN achieves total global domination on a scale never before seen by humankind, it should last a good long time. :-)
The challenge is: Many of the servers which block other servers will block servers solely because they don't also block servers. "Free speech zones" are considered servers that should be blocked by the most social justice inclined servers. So it's fairly difficult to find a server that can, indeed, talk with everyone in the fediverse.

I don't think that's inherently a problem, decentralization allows people to segment themselves off, and that is okay.
Love this article, but one thing it skipped on was more in-depth on Leap Seconds.

> Some users seem to forget that their transactions are public by default, and their payment activity provides an unfiltered paper trail of what’s really happening in their lives.

This is it in a nutshell - nobody pays attention to privacy settings, and they don't think about the consequences of the fact that they can see other people payments scroll by on their screens.
Fun, and the absurdity puts things in perspective.

Minor suggestions:

* Allow currency change (e.g. EUR instead of USD)

* Use + and - signs or green and red colors when hovering over the ingredients to show if money can be saved or not. Also put the amount of time in a different font size or color. (Site is very minimalist though which is great).

* Explain sources for price calculation (I'm skeptic about some, and curious who its based for).
