Questions that are not duplicates getting flagged as duplicates - this one drives me crazy! Honestly, it's one of the things I hate most about SO - it's so common I've come to hate asking new questions.

I really just don't understand how someone can want to be moderator, but not even be arsed to read the questions they pass judgement on.
> My friends/social network are going to suggest cool stuff to read, not some startup's bot reading by browsing history.

Isn't that how we ended up with Facebook's ad targeting algorithms controlling most people's web experience? Running a cheap experiment testing how alternatives might work seems like important if you care about not having network effects giving a couple of companies significant control over the web.

> Chrome (and siblings) … and have significantly better performance.

That was never generally true and it really hasn't been accurate for the last year or two, where performance has been very competitive depending on what you're measuring.
You need to take that basic form of "debugging" and turn it into instrumentation. Collect structured data and build tools to process it. Once you have a nice collection of data you can build profilers and execution traces, things classical debugging tools provide.

I've done it and the tools can work quite well. The same consistent instrumentation of your code also makes it easy to build really great dashboard monitoring.

All this time building tools costs money and adds complexity to your stack, so, yes, distribution had better be worth it for your business needs before you take it on. Pretty much like any engineering trade-off.
> it offers something no other is offering right now.

What about HoloLens, maybe Google Glass 2, and a few other less well funded competitors like Meta 2?
> By necessity, musicians need to look at these tech platforms ... as marketing platforms.

Yes, that's exactly the way to look at it.

But, even to get noticed on those platforms you'll need to do marketing. So, now there's two layers of marketing!

Use those other things for punishment then, don't sting them additionally just because they're wealthier (or rather, have a higher income).

Getting off track here, but I'd rather there were as few tax rates as practical. Perhaps even one under a basic income system. Then the rate is upfront, clear and honest. Not a compounding system of stealth taxes.

Worth noting that wealth is not the same as income, but we tend to tax income rather than wealth, at least until death.
I did actually split test. I had traffic going to both types of our landing pages. I didn't like the AMP results but there wasn't enough traffic yet to draw the conclusion, so I just put all the traffic there and measure across time periods a bit.

As for seasonality, that's a fine argument. But overall traffic was consistent across these weeks measured. Also, our conversion rate was awesome through US holidays like July 4. Also, as soon as I got rid of AMP, immediately our conversion rate is back. It's pretty stark how bad AMP was for us.

mozilla is experimenting with a new way for users to find what they want, rather than deferring to google et al. to deliver subpar user experiences.

it may work, it may not, but i’m glad they are trying.

(edit: i probably won’t try it any time soon, due to the privacy concerns voiced here and elsewhere. hopefully mozilla addresses those with a v.2 release and maybe i will try it then)

We moved the majority of docs for our projects (https://github.com/2600hz) to use mkdocs to build our doc sites (https://docs.2600hz.com/dev https://docs.2600hz.com/ui etc).

I have a simple script that receives github webhooks on PR merges to master that fetches the latest version of master and builds the site. So from PR merge to the docs site being updated is now seconds of time.

We also integrated building the doc sites into our CI process so PRs will fail if they would cause mkdocs to fail to build the site (borked yaml, make sure docs are included in the yaml, other things).

This has been a boon for our community of users and developers. Coupled with our AST parsers that look for code changes that require doc changes, we're getting better about alerting developers of the need to document something, and reviewers of the need if the developer forgot. Not a panacea but has significantly improved doc coverage for Kazoo which has a broad set of APIs available to different types of users.

Ask HN: Is there a role for me somewhere?
Thirty-something senior engineer here. I don't consider myself a rockstar engineer and I know I can't stay on the technical track forever. I'm not cut-out for management or executive work. I feel that I'd do quite well in an advisory role, though. A chief-of-staff closely resembles a role I think I'd be best-suited for. I'm well-organized, detail-oriented, have above-average political acumen and work best behind-the-scenes.

Does such a role exist in many tech organizations? If so, is there a well-worn career path (from here) to such a role?

Yeah, it's not easy to test AMP unless you're doing things like bringing in traffic from Adwords where you can split the traffic up. I do a bunch of testing with that Adwords traffic.
Fair. I want to add that when I talk about “getting bored” of them, I personally do this in a childish and unrefined way on a regular basis. So I don’t want to sound like I necessarily mean progressing beyond them. A childish rebel instinct can result in boredom all the same. Paired with curiosity, it’s granted me with an accumulation of experiences in exploraing the visual world. The rules are wonderful but breaking them is what gives me resilience as an artist. It’s why I can fall from great heights, lose access to a medium, and overcome jealousy. I can always recall my own fluidly evolving set of rules. Don’t get me wrong; praise is really important, but the confidence in child’s play has over time fostered a relationship with my eyes that I only know to call love; certainly the closest thing to freedom I’ve ever known. I wish I were exaggerating because I sound like an absolute dork.

At the end of the day, I am actually a rigid rule follower in my output. Most of the rule-breaking takes place in my imagination. I find myself giggling to myself on film sets regularly, for example. Or at bus stops for that matter. This is what gets me out of bed in the morning.

people dramatically slowing down then speeding up is likely more dangerous than everyone maintaining a speed higher than the posted limit, which makes the cameras a net negative from a safety perspective.

I was in a busking trio playing mostly covers of oldies -- when we were 15/16 years old we had a good novelty factor and could make around 45 an hour combined street performing. Eventually we started playing bars in a touristy part of Wisconsin and we'd make $200-300 per 3 hr set. Hourly it's alright, but there's not many options in terms of daytime gigs during the week.

Incidentally, I put this on my resume back in college when my resume was mostly empty, and think it played a part in me getting rejected from a Microsoft internship. At one point an interviewer asked me point blank "would you rather be a professional musician or a computer programmer" and I didn't answer correctly!
I always have location off but my old coworker used to leave hers on. One day after work we were waiting for the bus she took a picture of some grafitti near the bus stop. A minute later she got a notification from google asking if they could, I can't remember if it was, tag the picture or add the picture on google maps or both for the gas station next to the bus stop. It was fairly creepy, i'd never seen one of those before. She started turning her location off after that.

Clearly high interest rates in the 80s didn't prevent banks from making loans. Lets talk about the inverse of of what you're suggesting - perhaps the lack of ROI on loans is preventing banks from doing what they're supposed to be doing - lending to small businesses.
I've learned so so much from his books on consulting, thank you for everything Mr.Weinberg. Rest in peace.
What you say may be true for almost all the products, unless when the product is 'money' itself. Something worth considering.

Easy access to low-cost loans creates the illusion of affordability and exacerbates over-consumption (over-consumption: a general malady afflicting most humans)
In most cases I might agree with you - but as a counterpoint I would posit a huge problem among the medical community: patient compliance with treatment. Sometimes health outcomes have nothing to do with the treatment itself, but rather the patient(s) are not likely to adhere strictly to the recommendations. [Source: my graduate school advisor was a health economist - but I'm sure there are studies out there to validate this.]

Something to keep in mind: not all drugs are bad. And even those that get a historical bad rap are ok in _moderation_ - some drugs are very helpful and necessary for certain conditions.

If drug ads and/or neuromarketing can improve patient outcomes by improving the likelihood that a patient complies with treatment, then is that all that bad?
No, I did that already. I practice slow and methodically. I keep a measure-by-measure logbook of progress. Muscle memory established. I can then play expressively from memory.

But eventually I'll move on to the next piece, and wind up forgetting to re-visit the other one for a few weeks or months. Gone!!

I think we need a platform that is a cross between Spotify and Patreon.

Then, artists can aim to bring in subscribers who pay them something like $2-5/month to support them as a patron.

You can already do this on patreon but I think a specialized platform would have more sway.

The platform could also sell bands enhanced band pages for a small subscription fee too.

Basically, a platform to fully connect artists with fans where the fans WANT to buy the music in order to support the band.
The "trade deficit" is simply a number that measures the value of exports minus the value of imports.

It has no relationship with the health of the economy whatsoever. Firms within an economy have their choice of whether to import inputs from domestic providers or foreign providers, and they choose the option that offers the best value.

Let's use the example of a company that is considering opening a 50K square foot call center for customer service. The company will decide whether it makes sense to open that call center in an expensive place like downtown San Francisco, but it may also consider opening it in a place that would be more affordable.

If you focus only on the call center workers in downtown San Francisco, it will look like perhaps a tariff should be created by the city of SF to prevent firms from opening call centers in Iowa. After all, where will those call center workers find jobs?

But think about the rest of the firm. Maybe with the money it saves by opening the call center in Iowa, it can open an R&D office in downtown SF instead. Maybe in a few years the R&D pays off and now the firm can hire 1000 more workers in SF for other jobs.

But if we rewind and consider the situation with tariffs. The firm still decides to open the call center in Iowa but now must pay a tariff, which reduces the profitability of the decision. Now it can't afford to open the R&D office and ends up a few years later going out of business.

Or, suppose that the tariff is high enough that the firm does open the call center in SF. Due to the costs there is still no money to open the R&D office and so the company still fails.

The counter-intuitive thing about economics is reasoning about counter-factual scenarios... all the things that might have happened if things had gone differently.

In the above example, SF loses the higher skilled R&D jobs due to the tariff and also loses the 1000 new jobs a few years later. But it's easy to ignore those since they are counter-factual. The politicians can point to the SF call center employees and say "See, the tariffs got these people jobs, look how we're helping the economy!"

But the truth is quite the opposite, the tariff prevented the company from having the capital to invest in R&D, cost the Iowa call center jobs AND the SF R&D jobs AND the 1000 other jobs that would have happened due to growth.

In a nutshell, the mindset that makes people think tariffs are a good idea is anchored on the idea that the economy is static and that someone is winning only at the expense of someone else losing. In the tariff supporter scenario, Iowa would have "won" if SF had not instituted those tariffs to keep the jobs at home.

I use SF and Iowa as an example here just to make the concept more simple and to remove the confounding ideology of nations being adversarial to one another. Trade makes otherwise adversarial nations into partners and allies, so you could substitute SF and Iowa for the US and Canada respectively.
The number of high end phones that are iPhones is greater than the number of high end Android phones - not just percentage.

Samsun is the number one maker of phones and the number one maker of high end phones - if thier average selling price per phone is still only $235 (https://www.sammobile.com/2017/08/02/average-selling-price-s...). Even they sell mostly low in phones.

Knowledge tests that introduce time pressure become lossy. An employer can test performance under pressure and extrapolate that against historical data, but they cannot do it in the reverse order as the information is lost.

> By extending that time you can no longer make the difference between 2 people with good knowledge but different working under pressure skills. That's the difference between good and best.

This is true, but if two students have the same score from elongated tests and one does not test well under pressure, it's straightforward to understand that one of the students would have performed better on a time pressure exam. However, consider:

Student A achieves 92% on a 1.75 hour exam but would have achieved 90% on a 1.5 hour exam. Student B achieves 94% on a 1.75 hour exam but would have achieved 88% on a 1.5 hour exam.

In a 1.5 hour exam, the clear conclusion is that student A is the better student. But is student A truly the better student in this scenario? The exam length is a rough estimate made by a university, and it seems like an arbitrary line to draw.

Allowing every student to have enough time to show the breadth of their knowledge on the subject material is not "helping" women. The same principle is applied to both men and women. It is an attempt to provide a level playing field and work towards meritocracy.[1]

Consider an exam on a technical subject that contains questions that are difficult to parse in English. Non-native English speakers have trouble parsing the questions which results in lower test scores. If I suggest that we simplify the language in order to accurately gauge the students knowledge of the subject, you may suggest that this is discrimination against native English speakers. This is undoubtedly true in the context, but it is an attempt to move towards a level playing field which tests knowledge of the subject, which is the entire point of the exercise. You can test for English proficiency separately, that is not the point of the exam.

[1] Contrast this with link 2 in the GP which is straightforward discrimination against men and was roundly rejected for that reason.

I guess very temporary, because the next step is for a typical entrepreneur to notice that there's a "quality middle" somewhere, which he/she can exploit by cutting some corners, selling for less, and taking over most customers.

Which studies? Graduation standards have changed for all races, in undergraduate institutions grade inflation is rampant and hard curves or class ranks are relics. The performance of the student body and specific demographics is increasingly muddled. In premier law schools affirmative action demographics continue to underperform, as well as have lower LSAT scores which strongly predicts probability of passing the bar.

It's the same with TRT, exogenous testosterone stops your body from producing it's own testosterone.

It is however, a very low percentage (probably sub-1%) from what I've read that do not recover. However, some take longer to recover than others and can take 6mo-1yr to re-obtain natural levels again.

HCG prevents or reduces atrophy in male testicles while on TRT (analog to LH signaling hormone which controls testicles) and many of the most respected endos perscribe it with TRT now. Perhaps a similar solution should be added to birth control to continue the natural production of progesterone?

As someone who lived through the 80s, I will say the pop music of the time was not particularly good, but it was at least original. It was a new sound, and there were new aesthetics being explored.

That is not true today ... is it? Any examples?

By the mid-1990s we had a very clear idea of what 80s music was (electric guitar, synth and rap) and even what 90s music was (grunge and all this electronic stuff that I thought was super boring but a lot of people liked so whatever). It’s 2018 ... I have no idea what 2000s music was. Everyone can probably name a bunch of musicians that were big then, but what sound was being pioneered? Messing around with vocoders / harmonizers? That seems very limited and small.

What is the sound of 2010s music? I have simply no idea.
I wish this was auto-replied to every comment in this thread. Each tackling the "real" problem with education
The author is writing about an accent (or, at most, a dialect), not a language, and if an accent is dying from 'natural' causes (as opposed to, for example, from policies that penalize its use), I don't think much can be done to preserve it, other than to make a record of it.

A distinct language might be a little easier to preserve (but only if there is a sufficiently large number of people who want to put some effort into preserving it), as its distinctiveness helps make its preservation an overt act.
Hey! Thanks for the comment, but I'm not quite sure what you mean. Yep, Rockstar is a bunch of developers helping other businesses make software. I wrote the article because there's a lot of people who are considering AMP whether your technically minded or your on the business side asking your developers (or us at Rockstar) to AMPlify all the things. Thought it would be fair warning for all those groups. Also, I don't write for the sole purpose of "content marketing" to an audience that needs us at Rockstar. I've been a developer for 20+ years. I write what I write about :) Sometimes it'll draw in customers, sometimes new friends and colleagues. And sometimes I just like to show funny pictures of my daughter.
Eek, I wasn't aware they were still doing that, but I confirmed myself. I abhor the practice here, and am now committed to not clicking any more AMP links.
