Walk. A lot. NYC is huge but it worth it.
Specially if you walk through places you can see in the movies when you return home.

I think you can kayak on the Hudson river. I could not do this (not enough time) but I bet it might give you good memories.

Biking on central park is also great; but walk the park later.

Statue of Libery: expect to spend at least half day. Book the tickets today and be ahead of time because they have airport-like security.

Read the news (or a book) in Bryant Park. Didn't know the place existed until we got there.

If you come from Europe and have enough time, get a bus in Port Authority and spend one day in Washington DC to visit the Smithsonian Air and Space museum.
I guess it's a 4h bus trip, in a greyhound bus (like in the movies). Some of them have wifi. Totally worth it.

Do not do this:

- Make a visit ground zero on the first place. I happened to be near and it spoiled mood for the whole day.

- If you have tickets for music show (phantom of the opera, wicked, etc.)... Be near the theater before the show. Near means walking distance, not 1 metro station away because this is the exact time Murphy's law will send you a long distance train instead a local one.

- Do not budget less than 1:30-2h from Port Authority (42th street) to La Guardia. The Metro needs at least 1:30h. Taxis seem to be faster until there's some kind of problem.

- United Nations: didn't find it worth the visit altough there was quite... hm... interesing people protesting on the front.

Hope this helps :-)
> This is peer pressure and has nothing to do with the way Facebook monetize its product.

Sure it does. Facebook relies on the concept of peer pressure and people's desire for a sense of belonging to continue to monetize its product. They know that human connections aren't fungible, so they can gain adoption through local monopolies.
Zuul is one of the few ci/cd solutions which can run tests on a project after merging to master, but before pushing that merge to a public repo. I really like that and miss the option in other places. You can often simulate the behaviour with custom scripts, but it's not as nice approach and can't support concurrent builds.
I watched all of these videos a few years ago.

After a while, you start noticing a trend.

They also have a cool first person view one:

It would be interesting to know which keyservers accept unusually large files (in the megabytes range) and which just reject those updates - I expect if enough large payloads were uploaded that someone might eventually take notice.
You are utterly and completely wrong. All it takes is court papers and a lawsuit for _any_ reason at all, and you are done.

You seem to be claiming the GDPR dictates who is allowed to sue and what evidence they must provide, and it simply does not. Go look it up, it's a "guilty until proven innocent" system, which guarantees loss to the accused, guilty or not.
Fake news increase user engagement. I don't think Tweeter can convince its shareholders to invest in lowering user engagement.
This would be a good opportunity for something like Alpha Go. Learn a heuristic function and then do tree search using the heuristic. You could start by hand-designing a heuristic and do best-first search to see how much better you do versus exhaustive exploration.

Technically, airports are borders, so if he did drive close to an airport, he was in the border zone.
Somewhat unrelated, but is anyone else having trouble loading that consumerist page? It keeps redirecting me off to https://consumerist.com/remote-login.php?login=.... which 404s. Looks like a WordPress plugin (WPRemoteLogin) gone amok.

EDIT: looks like this is because I'm logged into my own Wordpress blog. Weird that that should have any bearing on my ability to load this blog.
Wouldn't this be a really good application of machine learning? Not as a replacement for lifeguards, but to help them.
Bytecoin looks remarkably easy to attack. If we filter to currencies that can easily be NiceHashed and have decent market caps, and then sort by cost/mktcap, the top 5 look pretty juicy.

US courts have arrested plenty of reporters for contempt, in recent years too.
I visited Tucson, Arizona several years ago with my parents and the area south of town resembles a war zone. There were blackhawk helicopters searching for illegal immigrants, hundreds of CBP vehicles all over the place, dozens of buses waiting to transport the illegal immigrants to detention facilities, and of course the military-style checkpoints where officers with assault rifles can essentially do anything they want to you (many of these checkpoints are in the middle of nowhere). I'm a natural-born citizen and I was afraid. I can't imagine living down there and going through those type of checkpoints every day.
Yup, by and large societies determine the parameters in which they would like to operate. These take the form of social agreements, laws, constitutions etc...

In the olden days it was normal and legal to own people. Then (most) societies "decided" that they are not comfortable with the idea anymore and the norms and laws changed.
I once worked on an application to register donor and organ characteristics during transplantation (to speed up match of finding a receiving patient).

Just learned (and still learning) ledger two days ago. I found it not intuitive but can see the value.

Any good tutorial/guide?
Not if the talent of interacting with many and also difficult customers is based on genuine compassion and a sense of personal integrity. And I like to think you get more bang for the buck if you can keep their personal integrity intact, regardless of industry or profession. Sure people pushing Oracle (et al) may be grimly smirking as they carry their money and their ulcers to the bank, while others skip to the ice cream parlor, or just a park bench, with a laugh emanating from their belly.
I hate so much about pipenv despite it implementing some good ideas. Maybe I'm not with it any more...
Looks like the example uses that because it would otherwise be overridden by the variant=primary (which seems to be the default) so explicitly overriding that variant would probably be more intuitive and not require the !important hack.
If every single person in the country made exactly the same salary, and saved the same percentage of their income to cover the exact same modest retirement lifestyle, you'd still have people (close to retirement) who appeared "rich" and people early in their career who appeared relatively "poor". Using wealth data without normalizing for age you could also make it look like there was a vastly unequal society, and of course there would no policy you could adopt to "fix" the problem that wasn't there. What the author is doing here is literally the definition of bad data science.
Well, yes. Say you tag a friend in a photo at a political fundraiser, protest, etc. Or you tag them posing by their company's logo, or at a booth their company is running at a trade show. The context of a photo matters, and FB can extract an awful lot of information out of seemingly-innocuous things these days.
Fair point, but most of the time that last mile is a very long mile ( double digits ) and includes many hours of waiting to get loaded/unloaded which can also be just a few minutes and once they're done they want you out of their property ASAP.

Driving on the highway is not the only significant part of the job, far from it and I suspect some people are very enamoured by their dreams/greed mixed with the holy tech, just like the pneumatic high-speed trains from the 50s/60s, then maglev, now hyperloop.

Efficiency gains on the existing tech + infrastructure will always win over revolutionary new tech.
> Unless the bosses at Intel just hate older people (unlikely as they are almost all older people) they are doing this for economic reasons alone.

This is the most exemplary statement of naive (very probably American) class unconsciousness I’ve ever seen on HN. The distinction is between owners/managers and workers. First, an older member of the petty bourgeoisie is “bought in” as an effective part of the machinery of control. An older worker is viewed as an expensive and worn out “human” resource by that machinery. Managers don’t have to hate old managers to fire old workers. Second, “hate” is a hopelessly blunt instrument to use to understand systemic age discrimination. It’s not “hate” that drives older workers out; it’s a race to the bottom that needs to be regulated and penalized out of existence. Third, and finally, the “economic reasons alone” are exactly the pressures toward discrimination. To let them off for that would be like letting a slasher off on the grounds that they liked to spill blood.

We really need people to think in a more nuanced way if we’re to have any hope of avoiding a global race to the botttom with a maximally impoverished populace. I don’t hold out much hope.
I really shouldn't have. Don't underestimate your ability to make irrational decisions when you feel panicked. There wasn't anything illegal and they let me go on my way.

I was kind of frazzled after I told them I had a medical marijuana recommendation and they told me it was illegal federally. I didn't even know I was at a border control checkpoint at first, I took a wrong turn about 50 miles away from the border in San Diego county. They said they weren't looking for weed, but obviously they can and will lie as needed.

my reasoning at the time (panicked) was that there was a small chance I might have had cannabis in the car. There was a dog alerting to the car, and I assumed it meant they'd end up searching it even without my consent. I believed them when they said they weren't looking for weed, but I also believed that if I denied consent to search and they searched anyway, if they found weed they were more likely charge me, as opposed to just letting me go if I cooperated and all they found was weed. So that was my flawed logic. I know it's always best not to consent, but I kind of panicked and gave consent anyway.

Turns out the dog was alerting to my legal prescription medication.

If you lose the symbols you lose the terse nature of the language, which as far as I can tell seems to be one of the most alluring parts of the language (the author of the blog post shows game of life as essentially a one-liner).
I'm not interested in talking to someone who does not have any basic idea about the Indian society. You sound like someone who has not applied even an iota of brain apart from what you see in the media. If you really believe that there are some weird rapes happening in India all the time and that Indian women are in some danger, you need some medical help asap.
Time to bring back self modifying code?

> If the middle class has any hope of allying with the lower class then those two traits will have to ascend from ashes. The real questions is: are we too far gone and is it too late?

I'd honestly ask a slightly different question : how much longer will the lower and middle classes pose a realistic threat to the elites?

To date, economic and social elites have always been at the theoretical mercy of the masses simply by virtue of vastly inferior numbers. We're not that far off from a day when - as a result of technological advances of various kinds - a small minority could feasibly defend themselves both physically and politically against the rest of society.

To me, that's honestly the real ticking time bomb. People can change, grow and adapt to any number of situations - and are remarkably good at finding common ground with their neighbors when necessity dictates. However, once the masses lose their ability to meaningfully threaten the elites, the entire question becomes moot and the ship will have sailed for a long, long time.
CSS Shadow Parts, aka ::part and ::theme is the answer there: https://meowni.ca/posts/part-theme-explainer/
I am not sure why you have been downvoted. Yes the placebo effect is often just a regression to the mean of a condition that varies. Imagine that you have a disease that goes up or down in serverity (say depression). People enter the trial when most ill and over the course of the trial they trend back to symptomatic mean (i.e. they get better on their own). This is why doctors favourite treatment "let's wait and see" is so effective.
I'm pretty sure by "accident free" they mean "at fault" since you can't be expected to be held responsible for the actions of others. My last job I had something like 8 not at fault accidents and could go get a job driving a truck tomorrow if I really wanted to (well, aside from the fact I let my CDL expire but that could be fixed).

I rear-ended a U-Haul with my company big rig (totally my fault) and they didn't care enough to fire me, just deducted some random amount from my pay and didn't actually fix the bumper on my truck. The U-Haul was fine, those truck are seriously solid it turns out.

I would go back to driving trucks but it's kind of a rough life...
You don't need any polyfills on Chrome, Safari, Opera and soon Firefox obviously. Edge is the only holdout.
What limits do you see?
Reminds me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16664759

Some are so sure of their world view that they just assume their conventional wisdom is correct about specific subjects that they clearly (to someone who has) have not studied. I know I was back in 04 when a friend mentioned something to me that I thought was absurd, but is now common knowledge for anyone understands F=ma and has checked that specific fact (that I'm deliberately not mentioning). For example, look up the art collection Skippy's brother keeps, or that shop owners (now hidden but thoroughly archived) Instagram account.

"Fact checking" sites are about as unscientific as it gets. They have two obvious flaws, first they generally only "check" facts they can "debunk", second, they often frame what they are checking in a way that lets them use a corner case.

The right way would be to just list data, things others can independently check and allow the reader to draw their own conclusions.
Committing fraud is very much illegal, yes. It may be hard to prove and prosecute, but it is undoubtedly illegal. (Though IANAL.)
I give you one of many examples. Transistor. Is cheap to produce, but hard to invent.

Cheap to produce now, sure. Was it "cheap to produce" shortly after it was invented? And do you think the transistors we talk about today are identical to the ones invented in 1947? Or has there been continued innovation in that space, yielding BJT's, FET's, MOSFETS, and so on?

If you're the original inventor of a "thing" it's almost always going to be the case that you (or somebody with access to your engineers, etc. on an "official" basis) is going to have an advantage in terms of producing the "thing", simply because you know it and its innards better than the would be cloners... (and if this isn't the case, I go back to my assertion that the "thing" probably isn't actually very revolutionary at all).

Anyway, if you invent something, and you feel the pressure to keep inventing because eventually the cloners will figure out how to build your thing as well as you, then that's a net win when "v2" (think, BJT, FET, etc.) gets invented sooner than it might have otherwise.

Also "just invent something and then rest on your laurels". I don't see single reason why it's bad thing.

Of course if you care about only a strictly selfish measure of how rich you become in the end, then you'd rather be able to just invent something, and monopolize it for n years. My point is that A. you can make money off an invention even without that artificial monopoly, and B. society wins when there is an arms race effect propelling innovation.
Some events can't be photographed (either for legal reasons, access reasons or because they happen on computers). Stock Pictures of relevant people, buildings and logos get used instead. It's a bit more likely to be fake news if the pictures are supposed to be "protests" or "bombing" from different dates and geographical contexts but those stories see people posting stock photos of locations and repost vaguely relevant memes too...
Yet the ultra-high resolution video looks somehow artificial and like it's rendered instead of filmed because of all the sharpness that is not normally seen by the eye because of focusing.
Use it now, the polyfills are really good for older browsers.
This is an interesting thought experience. What is all this data actually worth ? How can you monetize it ?

Hi, I’m [name] with [station]. Our greatest responsibility is to serve our communities. I am extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that [station] produces, but I’m concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one-sided news stories plaguing our country.

The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories without checking facts first. Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control exactly what people think. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

At [station], it is our responsibility to report and pursue the truth. We understand the truth is neither politically left nor right. Our commitment to factual reporting is the foundation of our credibility now more than ever. But we are human, and sometimes our reporting might fall short. If you believe our coverage is unfair, please reach out through our [station] website by clicking on “Content Concerns.” We value your comments and we will respond back to you.

We work very hard to seek the truth and strive to be fair, balanced, and factual. We consider it our honor and privilege to responsibly deliver the news every day. Thank you for watching, and we appreciate your feedback.

So, they're talking about how to disrupt the propagation of information deemed deleterious, given that actors are operating networks of amplifiers. They target the network to disrupt, and then strategize methods of dismantling the network.

But the qualifier "bad" is ensconced in lofty vocabulary. The reality is this is likely a generalizable analysis of how to attack information networks regardless of alignment. All of the high-level adjectives ascribed to these networks are window dressing, related to a separate discrete task: target selection.

After that, it's just take down operations.

The inverse activity is conceptualizing "take-down resistant" information networks, at which point, it becomes evident on closer inspection that all of this is just the throes of an arms race. So let's just cut to the chase, and stop thinking in terms of cat and mouse games.

This is all simply reduced to harasser/harassed relationships. Calculate motives, look at what the objectives of the belligerents are, and instead of feeding into the meat grinder, aim for greener pastures. Go where everyone else isn't.

"Bitcoin isn't just a boring grey [precious] metal, it's a virtual coin taking the form of a number"

Precious metals are inherently valuable because they are extremely useful in a wide variety of applications in the physical world. An arbitrary number has 0 inherent value. It is a fiat commodity whose only backing is faith that a sufficiently high number of people are duped into giving its controllers real money in exchange for it.

Wow man, I appreciate your persistence. I am yet to hear of a scandal of the scale of Telford and Rotherham in India. I heard that thousands of white young working-class girls were kept in grooming gangs by Pakistani men. It'll be really better for you if you peep in your backyard rather than using italics in a passive-aggressive way to educate me about India. Also, I see no protest about these grooming gangs and in fact Tommy Robinson who was reporting on it was thrown in prison! This is the state of Western world, the harbinger of liberal democracy!!! And I'd really really suggest that you come out of the toxic bubble your media like NYT and CNN and WaPo have put you in. It's really depressing to see that you have taken zero efforts to learn what's actually going on. I guess you should use social media more actively and listen to and talk to people outside your political spectrum to curtail your arrogance and extreme lack of knowledge.

For an implied prior restraint on speech? Not so much I think.

The UK arrests reporters for reporting. This isn't just about libel (also much more problematic in the UK) or revealing sources. It's about plain old honest reporting of factual events that occur out in public. A reporter reports on people heading into a courthouse, and he gets sent to prison for 13 months. The court then orders that nobody can report on the reporter's arrest either. If not for non-UK web sites ignoring the order, it would be a secret arrest.
