A, the person will know it is not alive.

B, stuff like this is done specifically to get people to click the video.

Frankly more and more the web is resembling a massive schoolyard, with people egging each other on with dares and promises of rewards if they do some kind of icky or potentially dangerous task.

One game i have been following recently released an update that allow twitch viewer to vote on various modifiers to the game play, more often than not to the detriment of the streamer.

There also seems to be a rise of "hard" games that are specifically there for streamers and their audience. This so that much like the audience of a gladiator match they get to jeer and name call whenever the streamer slip up and the play character gets mauled by some game mechanic.
The social problem is that these things are absolute Skinner Boxes and people really are not cognizant of that fact.

The parental problem is that they let the problem go on too long.

When your kids grades start to drop, you take action. Now. You don't let it go on.

Taking the phone away now probably does feel pretty traumatic because their daughter has integrated it as her social life. She interacts with friends who interact with their phones the same way. etc. At this point, yanking the phone means hitting the reset button on her social circle at the age of 15--in the middle of a bunch of established social cliques.

They probably need to change schools for her.

I am reminded again, however, that the single characteristic that a parent seems to need is to be more stubborn than their children. If your children 100% believe that in a genuine conflict with you that they will lose, lots of things simply never get started.

Sweden is making similar suggestion, and I would like that governments first tried lead by example. The state is the single largest employer in the nation and for almost all positions there is not 50/50 gender ration. Compared to the private sector it seems to be on average worse, with many of the top 10 worst gender segregated professions being government paid positions.

I am not unreasonable, they could simply set out that by 2020 they should have a policy that any new hiring should consider how gender segregated a open position is, by 2030 a policy with active measures to correct gender segregation and by 2040 if the situation has not improved then mandated affirmative action and fines for non-compliant departments.

Currently there is not even a policy which honestly is a bit of a low bar given how much talking politicians do about diversity.

your mixup does not make any sense: look at the 2 traces in question, on the left half both traces seem like a simple small vertical shift of the other, but in the right half of the same plot one plateaus earlier than the other, both plateauing at the same height.

the conclusion is unmistakable: either the data is real and unexplained (or at least no agreement on any explanation yet) or the data was doctored by summing vertically displaced noise with horizontally displaced sigmoid.
Vanguard Warns of Worsening Odds for the Economy and Markets
In her last days, my 101 year old friend partially reverted to German. She was born here, but German was spoken in the household when she was young. By the time she was in grade school, she was fluent in English and used English as her primary language for the remainder of her life. Practically speaking, it was her native tongue.

Her daughter didn't speak German, so I helped translate a few things -- simple comments and exclamations -- until she passed. She didn't lose her English wholly, but depending upon her state of mind, she might be speaking in one or the other language -- as I recall, she might have had trouble with English in those German moments.

This might be the case in the US, but be aware that most advocates of flat taxes globally - including almost all economists who do so - advocate precisely for removing deductions.

In New Zealand, for example, all prominent advocates of flat taxes are also proponents of not following Australia or the UK's example of having GST/VAT exemptions for some categories of goods.

More like the context determines if something is evil or not. For example, if I'm listening for drones flying around my house so I can deauth them to prevent them from spying on me, I would say that is justified, but if I monitor people to determine when they are home so I know when to break into their house, that would most likely be a bad usage.
I don't think there's much of a conclusion you can draw from the study. The survey asks:

- Have you used the Internet in the past month?

- Have you used Facebook in the past month?

- Do you agree that Facebook is the Internet?

In context, answering affirmatively to the last question seems rather like agreeing that watching CNN constitutes watching television.

It's also worth noting for Nissan those are people buying the car at a dealership (not preordered) and driving away with it presumably that day.

That isn't to say sales will stop but certainly there has to be some consideration there.

Seriously. There is a scene in Hot Fuzz wherein a handful of policemen are toting - in the modern day in a first-world country - Sten Guns, SMLEs, double-barrel shotguns and a pump-action with the price-tag still on it, and as they move from cover-to-cover all of their movements are punctuated by somebody checking their chamber (except that that's only sound effects). It even has a "Gilligan's Cut".

How does that scene belong in a film that is even slightly outside the realm of (attempted) comedy!?

I suppose it matters what type of activity you have. For most people doing equity-only trades in a single brokerage, the IRS can handle things themselves.

There are ways to make things exceedingly complex:

1. Have activity cross-brokerage (e.g. cross-account wash sales) as no entity cleanly tracks this.

2. Have straddles (e.g. put options on equity) which are under complex rules and AFAIK brokerages don't handle correctly (often failing to even identify them).

3. Constructively sale stock using options/shorting as rules are ambiguous and brokers don't implement the entirety of it.

> I'm all for criticizing SV for what it does wrong, but let's not overdo this.

I'm actually less interesed in criticism than it may have appeared. I'm far more interested in finding ways to harness the machinery built for generating revenue and refocus it to discourage the type of angry tribalism that's putting us all in danger. Sure, there are parts of it that are highly decentralized and difficult to influence in this way, but there are other parts that are more easily manipulated, eg. the content of a user's news feed. I'm trying to make the argument that it makes sense for Facebook et al to show users content that's less divisive even if it means less profit in the short term, as it helps to ensure that there will still be people around to use their platforms in 10 years.
From the farmer's perspective, it is a bit of an inconvenience to sell you anything less than a whole animal.

The fixed costs of an on-farm slaughter building or mobile slaughter truck are comparable to the facility that processes thousands of animals per hour, but spread out among fewer animals. If you want it cheaper, best be prepared buy live and do the slaughter and butchering yourself, and plan some meals around organ meats. Or there are independent butchers that will chop up any dead thing you care to bring to them, that are a necessary convenience for hunters that want to fill a chest freezer with venison every November. They can do cows and chickens, too. They aren't picky. But not all of them are able to do the slaughtering part.

Vegetable prices, I just don't get. If I am coming to your farm stand and taking the cabbage away still covered in mud and slugs, what exactly am I paying extra for? How is it that the veg farmer can't beat the grocery store price?

Actually I worked for Americans for Tax Reform and I can assure you that all they care about is preventing corporations from paying additional taxes.

Anything that is from them about individual taxes is just marketing to get you to vote Republican. They quite literally say that they want to "broaden the base of taxpayers", i.e, the individual pays more.
I get where you're coming from but understand that with any such topic, you're going to find a lot of people responsible for contributing to the headlining problem participating in the thread itself.

It's not a "this community" issue-- dismissal of consequences is the Schroedinger's Cat of psychological support animals, to help engineers cope with their lack of a conscience. If you refuse to believe there are consequences for your actions, then there simply are none, and you can go back to your job developing child-exploiting apps and self-driving Zyklon-dispensing deathwagons without having to question your impact on the world.
Perhaps this is a naive question, but why would something like this be written in assembler, and not C or similar?

It seems assembler makes it a bit more complicated without much benefit, and surely there's a compiler for a chip as common as the 6502.

San Diego, and yes, bought a home in 2006 (smart move!) before we got married. The mortgage, deed, title, everything was in my name only, as my ex-wife (girlfriend at the time) had shitty credit, and zero savings. The house was deeply underwater the entire marriage, up until we split in 2016, when it would maaaaybe break even money if I sold it. I was renting a tiny studio apartment at the time, while still paying the mortgage, plus child and spousal support. I decided to try to stay in the house, since I didn't have the $3000-$5000 it takes for security deposits to rent, and I was hoping that if I could hold onto it, the value would increase to a point where I might come out with some money. I can't afford it at all, but so far I have been able to piece together payments before going into foreclosure, so I guess that's a win.

The thing about divorce that I didn't realize is that making the decision to get divorced in the first place is the easiest and least painful of many choices you will need to make as a result.

Lets not act like this is nothing, if the authors wanted they could have self published but likely their results wouldnt be accepted, so not only do they provide the infrastructure, it also provides credibility which has its own worth..

The system has been less than perfect for years, but so are many things, Im just surprised to see it considered acceptable behavior on HN, where as if anyone suggested people torrent other works would be shutdown immediately.

Not arguing with you directly (just a general reply), just surprised at the hypocrisy that HN'ers will support when it benefits their self interests.

I've seen some stuff on indiehackers (https://www.indiehackers.com/product/park-io) that are just a simple script turned into $125k/month (obviously they also grew the complexity as the user base grew), but anyone know of any other interesting companies that had very simple origins.

"Kids have almost zero avenues to build or accomplish things. Their parents don't care or give them meaningful stuff to work on or tools to build stuff with. They might as well be under house arrest."

I just want to point up how accurate this comment is. I liked PC gaming quite a bit as a child, both building new games (in QBASIC) and conquering professionally designed games. I would find friends against whom to spar via BBS, Usenet, and the web.

Sometime around high school, I found a real-world activity that permitted building. In my case it was a bit odd. I realized that many of my schoolmates were very musically talented, but (at our somewhat dreary public school) had little chance to show off. I built a recording studio and designed reverberation algorithms to make them recordings that sounded as though they were playing in famous cathedrals. Many of them submitted their conservatory applications using these recordings. It was great fun, and taught me the most important rule of business, which is that if you aren't solving someone else's problem, you aren't doing the right thing.

Later, I did programming for the Palm OS and built a company out of that. Then I went to college and indulged in the humanities for four years.

The observation above, viz., that kids (esp. boys) need ways to feel that they've built something valuable, is exactly right.
I would highly recommend going through François chollet's Deep Learning with Python[1] book. The technical concepts are explained very well and since you have gone through the Modern AI book you won't have an issue understanding them. It's a very hands-on book and by the time you finish it you will be able to use Deep Neural Nets to solve many problems.

I would also recommend going through the scikit-learn documentation. Some of the tutorials/examples there are pretty good.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to your personal learning style. For me the thing that worked was to go through the above mentioned steps and then find a problem I was interested in and try to solve it using my newly found skills. That way you will discover new tools and methods.

Finally, the Deep Learning [2] book is also very good but I would not recommend it to a beginner. It's better to use it when you have a basic understanding of Machine Learning and you want to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts.

Not the OP, but I definitely have found that many of the things I spent money on, therefore my earlier ambitions, are not things that have any value to me today. Can't say that they were "dumb" per se, but I definitely haven't found that they lasted in their appeal. It has been amusing to see my kids destroy some things that used to have value to me.

Some examples: Collections of any kind. Dominance in any game. Completeness of any endeavor.

I'm finding I enjoy getting as good as I can at some things. But I ultimately don't care how good I am. Easy example is biking. I'm having a ton of fun getting as fast as I can going up a hill going home. Even though Strava is amusingly letting me know that there were over 500 folks that are much faster than I am on the same hill. (To its credit, they put much more emphases on Personal Records than they do on how you are doing against others.)

Same for some series. I ultimately don't care that I haven't read every last book of some series. More, if I really want to know how the latest Marvel movie has turned out, wikipedia is much faster and just as fulfilling for me.
