Show HN: News geolocation website
The idea:
The idea is to create a news aggregator that geolocates the news, it analyses the news and displays an article on a street/city/region (location in general) if it is mentioned in that article. The website will later give you notifications about what is mentioned in the news nearby.
The current situation of the project:

For now I have a minimum viable product, I have the website up and running that shows how the news will be displayed on a map.

What I am asking:

It will be really very nice of you if you can give me feedback, any feedbacks even negative ones are really more than appreciated. I know there are many bugs, bad design, lack of content but the question I am asking you is would you use such a website/mobile app if it existed? Do you like the idea? Do you think it is worth it if I finish building such a website?

Further government is a place where loyalty trumps responsibility, ideas, and passion for the measly end goal of climbing the ladder, securing your rank, and succeeding when you shouldn't.

Wow, I had assumed that retpoline was a heavy hammer that we could use to squash this class of bugs until new hardware designs arrive.
Ask your bank about money market or brokerage CDs. Short term cash investments that can yield upwards of 2% interest. But typically need to be held for longer time frames, say 12-36 months. No risk. Can be withdrawn at any time. FDIC insured. And you get the preferred rate.

Otherwise consider capex investments in your own company. These don't necessarily have to be aimed at growth. But little things can make your workers more happy, loyal and productive ;)
My parents have a whole house fan in their Atlanta, Georgia, home and its not been intentionally used in 30 years. Growing up I remember accidentally turning it on a few times and it was incredibly loud. Given the high summer heat and high humidity I don't understand why the builders included it.
All businesses need to make money, otherwise they stop being a business. That doesn't mean all companies are the same.
In his last years, Grant worked with Mark Twain to write his autobiography. It is pretty clear that Grant was anything but a "callous bastard" or a "monster", particularly relative to others in that time period. Indeed, many of his political and personal problems stemmed from being too willing to trust people, many of whom were unsavory characters. (Grant ended up being bankrupted after being defrauded of his savings and had to sell all his war memorabilia, and part of the reason he wrote his autobiography was to raise money for his family before he died.)

It's a really interesting read for anyone.

There's also little evidence that Grant was a drunk during the Civil War; many historians believe that was propaganda spread by the Confederates and by political rivals in the north, which was based on his problems after the Mexican-American war. The accounts of people who were actually with Grant during the Civil War don't support it.
There are drawbacks and advantages to every hiring process, it's possible they've determined this set of advantages/drawbacks works best for them.

> Both Toyota and Honda ventured into hybrids and battery technology long before Tesla was founded.

Exactly! So how come they are so far behind. If they had been serious about it, they could be far ahead of where Tesla is now, instead, the opposite is true.

> I don't see how those Japanese companies can be accused of sitting on technology

The 'sitting on it' was in reference to the post I was replied to which was talking about a hypothetical situation where these companies had Tesla's technology, and the thing is, they could have had it if they were serious about it.

They're not sitting on it in the nefarious sense, they're just not particularly interested in developing EV compared to the ICE side of their business.
About two years ago, while carrying out user testing at Hunter College on a prototype for their site redesign/build (yet to be implemented due to bureaucracy...), we observed several test users default to tapping on the laptop screen to navigate. For that round the test users were students, and the ones who defaulted to tapping were of a younger age. Even after making the initial realization that the screen didn't have touch capabilities, every few moments they would still touch the screen in an attempt to tap navigation elements or to scroll a page.

Personally, it was kind of a shock to witness, especially seeing that it was safe to assume that there was less than a 10 year difference in our ages. It got me thinking about a near future possibility of keyboardless computers, and the dread of writing code without one. Though it's unlikely, it struck the fear of god in me haha
My parents have had a whole house fan for around 10 years and love it. They can probably get through about 75% of the summer without turning on the air conditioner, leading to significant cost savings. They also have a very well insulated house, so once the cool air is inside, the house is really good at staying cool.
I've worked with two interns in the past year who did coding boot camps after (I'm making assumptions here) not finding work with their degrees, the last one found a great job after the internship and I'm confident the new one will as well. Good luck!
ugh, hard to imagine. As a former motor pool mechanic for a small county in Ohio, the government has some serious work to do before it will ever compete with google, and its all in management. Ive endured some truly idiotic days at government...including

- Racking up 8 industry certifications, fully paid, only to have all my ideas shot down because they didnt come from a manager with a degree in philosophy.

- Buying an expensive flush computer system for a type of truck that we already outsourced transmission flushes for, and that was being phased out in favour of something cheaper from International Harvester.

- Refusing...and i mean absolutely refusing...to fix any salt spreader hardware because meyer (the manufacturer) insisted everything would last 40k miles.
- trying to explain we dont measure in miles, we measure in engine hours. all reports still list miles.

- watching the city basically sell off 5 salt spreading trucks because a lawsuit after one failed made them all 'a liability'

- replacing a fleet of Kodiak 4x4 HD salt spreaders with used Ford F250's from a construction fleet.
- watching these all fail miserably after the first major snow storm.

- Borrowing...then buying and poorly repainting...trucks for salt spreading from the National Guard.

- Getting dinged on my performance review EVERY YEAR because management wouldnt buy parts I needed to make the sheriffs new mine resistant armored vehicle work.
Damn, the description of problems in social situations feel like it's written about my wife.

She's mostly OK (if a little over-bearing and too trusting) in 1 on 1 conversation, but has huge problems behaving "normally" when there's many people, often answers in detail to throwaway questions and monopolizes the time and focus in a discussion. She comes out as egocentric and a very weird person.

She also does this detailed analysis of really obvious (to me) situations, to the point that it's sometimes frustrating to see her struggle on whether particular thing she did or said was OK or not (when for me it's obvious it doesn't matter and certainly doesn't warrant 40 minutes of analysis).

She worked in like 10 different schools teaching math, each time for 1 year or less. Mostly the problem was - she was unable to play the politics game, especially when it comes to grading kids unfairly well to please the parents so they don't go to the director and demand her gone.

At the moment she's looking for a new job, economically we're ok but it's not very good to be unemployed for years. Maybe someone have any recommendations for a trade that's a good fit? Doesn't have to be very profitable. She's pretty good with math and computers, graduated math and economy, speaks Polish and English pretty well. She was writing books as a hobby at one point but stopped decades ago, I was suggesting trying that, but she doesn't believe there will ever be money in it. I've also tried to teach her programming (she already knew some basic stuff) but she just doesn't like it, or maybe I'm a bad teacher.

> he seems prone to analysis paralysis and anxiety about raw ability/intelligence.

This is what I also gained, and to me, it says that OP has the ability to solve these problems in much less time. I was a lot like OP when I started out. In college, I would get good marks but be one of the last people submitting a test. Whiteboard-style problems would take me forever to complete. I constantly felt that even though I could get it right, it took too long to be of any use.

My problem was much of what you said: I was reinventing crude versions of the wheel while spending an inordinate amount of time comparing different ways to solve problems. I'm not some brilliant mind that's going to have a ubiquitous name in the annals of CS. I've just been really good at breaking down problems and tasks, and early on, I was writing things akin to FizzBuzz EE[0] rather than a 10 line solution that solved the problem.

Exactly. Not to mention the Soviets were able to beat the US in almost all steps of the space race, starting with the first satellite as soon as 1957! I'd say what the soviet style of economic development was very good for was rapid industrialization from the ground up.
Hi there!

Thanks so much for the feedback, the UX team here at GitLab is always looking for ways to improve the user experience. It looks like someone else in this thread mentioned that you can choose between a fluid and fixed layout depending upon your preference. Some prefer a fixed width and others hate wasted screen space. We try our best to accommodate everyone.

Given that, we agree that this can be improved. We have an issue here discussing page-width, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/design.gitlab.com/issues/47. As you can see, in many cases we have decided that we should reduce the width in order to improve readability. I will add a link to your comment in the issue as further data on our user's preferences.

Also, we opened an issue with your suggestions for the project list page. Feel free to jump in and add any more thoughts you have there, feedback is always welcome. Here is a link: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/49504

Keep the suggestions coming!
Can they pay as much as Google and Goldman? No? Then no.
Accountancy? My cousin is a year or two into that career (still training at this point) but it seems to be a good fit for him.

Your anecdotal experience differing from OP's does not make what he said inherently untrue.
He's your father, but I guess it's probably both. War makes you hyper-vigilant (PTSD) , and being more vigilant probably increases your survival chances.
Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll make the multi-platform messaging more-prominent (perhaps text right on top of the first screen).
Yeah agreed it's a weak excuse, but from memory it's the one Lenovo used on their forum when asked about the issue.
> And I would like to clarify that my own self-diagnosis and your reference to "The Psychopath Code" is not a reliable source of information for a diagnosis.

Fair enough.

> Sociopathy is very likely a spectrum disorder like autism.

I'd say we're starting to understand disorders in general are. At the very least they're not binary. Even something like sexual preference such as homosexuality isn't binary.

> I have killed animals (as a child). Whenever there was a stray animal in my alleyway (cats or dogs usually) I would pick it up and leave it in my trashcan by the side of the house until it got dark. Whenever my parents were asleep, I'd sneak out and take the animal out of the can to torture it. Sometimes I kicked it to death and other times I would suffocate it. This was my main source of entertainment since I didn't have many other things to do.

I killed ants as kid, cause they didn't follow my traffic signs. I used a catapult to throw stones on a cow because I thought it was funny. I've also been a vegetarian and vegan.

Most people are still omnivore. They can't watch a video of a cow getting slaughtered, but they'll happily eat the meat. Yet when some kind of animal which is commonly a pet such as a dog or cat is ill or gets killed they get super emotional. I don't understand that; and I dislike dogs (they smell, they poop on street, are noisy, and demand attention). I can imagine that dogs/cats on the street can be a nuisance. Especially if poop on your property or make noise at night. Been there. Had a couple of street cats for years on my premises at night.

> Your score from primary psychopathy has been calculated as 1.9. Primary psychopathy is the affective aspects of psychopathy; a lack of empathy for other people and tolerance for antisocial orientations.

Hardly surprising for someone with ASD. I'm actually sensitive, but IRL I tend to carefully hide that so I don't seem too vulnerable (become a victim of the narcisist/sociopath/psychopath). I have a moral compass. Its values are different from the status quo which might make it seem like I am amoral, but I know very well I have one.

The article describes what happens under the launch on warning (LOW) policy.

It's not clear if the US has LOW policy. It seems like Clinton administration made some changes to the policy after the Cold War.

It's more like launch under attack (LUA). If the US has credible second strike capability and command chain that survives decapitation attack, there is no need hurry. Mistake can be catastrophically. Confirming nuclear explosions first would seem as sane default even if you want to keep others guessing what the real presidential decision directive is.

Clinton Issues New Guidelines on U.S. Nuclear Weapons Doctrine

https://www.armscontrol.org/act/1997_11-12/pdd

>Bell said the press had incorrectly indicated that the PDD "still allows" the United States to launch nuclear weapons upon receiving warning of an attack. Bell emphasized that "there is no change in this PDD with respect to U.S. policy on launch on warning and that policy is that we do not, not rely on it." In fact, Bell said "in this PDD we direct our military forces to continue to posture themselves in such a way as to not rely on launch on warning—to be able to absorb a nuclear strike and still have enough force surviving to constitute credible deterrence."

>Bell pointed out that while the United States has always had the "technical capability" to implement a policy of launch on warning, it has chosen not to do so. "Our policy is to confirm that we are under nuclear attack with actual detonations before retaliating," he said.
> This system is NOT secure

Let me tell you a secret, there is nothing truly secure in the world. Only things which haven’t had a vulnerability found for it.

> It's not different from the Intel ME

The important sense that matters is Intel ME has been found vulnerable (highly vulnerable in fact). The T2 hasn’t. Should we be skeptical of black boxes, most assuredly! But calling it equivalent to something found to be flawed in serious ways is a bit premature at best, or grossly negligent at worse.

> the main principle of cryptography is that the only secret to decrypt something should reside in the user

I don’t know about you, but the “main principle of cryptography” is to prevent unauthorized parties from knowing the contents of the data to me. I guess we are allowed to make up any statement that furthers our cause though when that suits us.

> if someone finds a flaw that permits to extract the key from the T2 chip, and it's only a matter of time and resources before someone does it, your data is no more protected, they can decrypt and extract what they want

Your password is part of the process, the extra stuff done in the T2 is just that, extra. So extracting from the T2 gives you nothing without the user’s password, needed to unlock the secret encryption key for the drive (assuming FileVault is enabled[0], and if you didn’t enable it, then why do you have an expectation of security at all?).

Goldman is a public company. Facebook, Apple and tons of other idolized companies have generated as much malfeasance around the world. And Goldman is cool in circles where people like to make lots and lots of money.
I think mine had this feature too.
If I did ever move back to the US I think I'd pick one of these second tier cities too. Small town living is just too provincial for me but I think you get a lot of the upsides of living in NYC or LA or SF without a lot of the downsides when you live in a place like Pittsburg.

Not to mention that cities like NYC or LA are so expensive and so gentrified now that artists and other creative people can't afford to live there anymore so they're a lot less interesting than they were 20 years ago anyway. There's a lot of really creative and offbeat electronic music coming out of the American Midwest right now for example.

ADHD and autism are very much related. A friend of mine who has ASD and ADHD diagnosis (and gets meds for her ADHD) told me there's talks in the field about combining the two.

My GF has an ASD diagnosis, her sister ADHD, and her brother and mother lead a very secluded life and are in our opinion fit for an ASD diagnosis. It runs in the family, so to say. Her sister also gets checked for ASD however she's quite "different" from the other ones mentioned.

> Oftentimes I have to simulate emotions because I don't feel them in myself and others.

But isn't that how empathy works?
Imho people on the spectrum are often way too aware of their conscious thoughts, at least in contrast to "neurotypical" people.

Which just adds to their general problem of figuring out signals in all that noise, leading to misconceptions like the above.

Heck, I'd even argue having to think about your emotions is a bit of an advantage because then you can actually reasonably justify having them, in contrast to "just feeling them", which is afaik also not considered "healthy".

Nobody would want to be around a person who tends to get angry because he's sometimes just feeling like getting angry.
This seems to be a popular opinion amongst a lot of ethereum developers I have met. I definitely don’t have as much experience in the field so honest question here.

>Those aren't cool companies, those are just paid a lot.

I get your point about an article redefining "cool" in a way you don't like but if we entertain what the article is talking about, they mean jobs that have "prestige" and are "desirable" to graduates.

There's no denying that top-of-the-class college graduates dream more about landing an analyst job at Goldman or McKinsey rather than getting hired at a government job such as "parks & rec manager". (A job as a park ranger to track bears may be "cool" but a parks & rec manager to shuffle paperwork around is probably not. A job as a park manager may be respected but it's not prestigious.)

Some government jobs that would be considered "cool" would be NASA scientists working on Mars rovers or NSA code crackers. However, those are not the type of government jobs (because NASA/NSA can attract talent) the article is talking about.

Layoffs are financially deceptive, because it's hard to put a dollar value on skills and experience. Training new hires is usually a lossy process. The job still gets done, but the overall effectiveness of your workforce is diminished in ways that are hard to quantify.

Off the top of my head, the best example I can give is Circuit City, who pretty much committed suicide through layoffs. Throughout the 2000s, they laid off their more expensive retail staff, initially replacing commission-based sales people with hourly workers, then laying off older workers with seniority pay and replacing them with new hires. It saved money, but sales suffered as a result, particularly for big-ticket items. They wilfully disposed of their key competitive advantage over online retailers - experienced, knowledgeable sales staff.
