skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I replied to the other two posters with some detail but I will give you another story from a former employer:

This employer sold a tool that removed crappy data from salesforce databases. It was available for free from competitors, but the company was too proud to release it for freemium-type marketing.

So, they constantly had a revolving door of 30 high school graduates who would be calling literally random people that the IT guy scraped a list off of random sites. The quality of the data was atrociously bad, but the CEO didn't believe it was bad. He instead blamed the interns and the reporting, fired them all, and brought new, "hungrier" ones in and forced them to use an auto dialer.

Out of the 60,000 phone calls this team made, not a single one of them resulted in a sale. The company continues to burn 800k a month in losses.

They have tried to pivot to a Youtube presence, but they only have one guy doing it instead of a full team. Additionally, their product is shit and non-differentiated. So, it's only a matter of time until their Founder, who is worth 150M, decides its time to pull the plug on his terrible, disorganized side-project of a company.

- Recommend other items and sellers based on common preferences
- Work closely with Posten on creating digital solutions for simple door-to-door shipping

Technology

- Backend: Node.js, Django
- Database: MongoDB, Postgres
- Search: Elasticsearch
- All of the above on AWS

I think that's exactly what parent is suggesting: The physical store should be for letting people try and touch items, before they buy them from your website. Warby Parker, Bonobos, and (in some states) Tesla already do this.
Wasn't fully aware of this.

I think most 'hacker-friendly' password managers (like password-store), that are unix-y, can be persisted to git, don't depend on megacorps, etc lack these capabilities?

i.e. very few password managers might count as 'decent'.

As a last note, a browser extension that doesn't come from Google or Apple shouldn't be trusted. I have zero extensions (other than uBlock), since they essentially have arbitary read/write capabilites into one's digital life.

What's really missing is a OS-level widget that acts as a secure clipboard. Similar to how one inserts emojis in macOS.

I bought a TV on Amazon a while back, they knew I looked it up and they knew I paid money for it and they knew I received it and I even left a review so they knew I used it. I got ads to buy that same TV that they knew I already bought for months after I bought it.
This looks really cool! I have no idea how you would even solve the first one with bounding boxes. I guess you would progressively build up a scene using the raw depth data then move onto more complex shapes at higher levels?
I think the main problem with the specific example is that a list is the wrong data structure to represent a polynomial. Even a simple `IntMap` would be better, where the key is the power.

This is a quite well known story in Spain. It made the news at a time when everything to watch on TV was the same news program, so everybody talked about it. The general belief is that his story is indeed exaggerated, but there is no consensus if he really believes all of it or is exaggerating on purpose, or maybe he exaggerated at the time because they wanted a better story and he was just a child and it is too late to know what really happened.

However, calling people naive and comparing yourself with him because you have been in Central Park is not going get you many upvotes. Expecting otherwise is naiver than believing the raised-by-wolves story word by word.
Facebook has terrible targeting. They might collect lots of data but they truly suck at utilizing it. It is pathetic. Google is fairly mediocre. Literally nothing in the quality of online advertising has changed since 1999.

Sidenote, adblockers work with Amazon and Facebook.
Exactly what I am saying. It’s much easier to block Google ads than Facebook or Amazon ads.

Facebook ads are seen on thier site and in their apps as is Amazon’s. Google is not a “destination site” aside from YouTube.

You could also just: write the less general version and stop listening to folks who flip and scoff at every piece of code isn't maximally general.

Crazy, I know, but especially when were doing labor in industry, even without maximal generality your code is probably going to outlive its patron corporation and then die in obscurity.

>This represents a great challenge for those who believe that individuals left to their own devices are most likely to make rational choices.

The unfortunate reality is that institutions, organizations, and governments are also not prone to making rational choices when left to their own devices, due to them being made up of individuals as well. Paternalism requires a faith that those in charge are somehow more free from the limitations of our flawed nature while also having others' interests at heart.
I'm guessing parent's comment was speaking more about potentials than current realities with regards to Amazon targeting.

The fact is, I assume Amazon really doesn't care about the ad business. They've offloaded that via affiliate links to third parties (a smart move).

Putting more effort into offering ad targeting now seems less about making money and more about draining value from Google and Facebook.
One interesting side-note is that on some recent cameras ISO adjustment might be actually not fully useful as they seem to apply the amplification essentially in "software".

> I will test this recipe

But does this recipe have tests?
The same people can behave totally differently depending on circumstances. For example: many people experience road rage, but they'd never behave that way outside of their car. Something about being in a car separated by a couple panes of glass causes a lot of people to act insane. It's similar for social media:

- Twitter and Tumblr both have retweet/reblog with commentary, which makes it extremely convenient for people to tell their followers about something they dislike. Just click retweet, type, "Look at this dumbass.", and watch the likes come in.

- Twitter notifies you if someone replied, quote-tweeted, mentioned you, or linked to a tweet of yours. This means that people definitely know when somebody disagrees with or dislikes them. If those same people were mocking them on some other forum, they'd never know and a cycle of hostility wouldn't form.

- Twitter's character limit makes it hard for people to keep nuance in their ideas. Replies to tweets are sorted by time, so whoever replies first (i.e. gives their response the least thought) gets the most eyeballs.

- Lastly, Twitter defaults to only accept direct messages from people you follow, meaning that most people can't criticize in private. They have to broadcast the criticism to the whole world, making it much harder for both parties to keep their egos in check.

These "features" combine to make civil conversation all but impossible.

The early python community went for C monoliths, but there was an alternative of python objects carrying C pointers. So python provides a form of api/plugin runtime dynamic linkage for smaller-grainsize C libraries. I don't know if anyone has explored that for javascript. If you've a problem domain of interest in need of almost-native speed (pointer call rather than static linkage) with 'compute-intensive runtime assemblages of C chunks' (eg, graphics or scientific), it might be a possibility.

> [...limited subset of javascript...?]

I don't quickly find the comment I intended to reply to, but fwiw, note that the ecmascript spec is written in sort-of pseudo-code English. Many years back I framed spec implementation as a semi-manual textural database cleanup and transformation exercise, and in a couple of days massaged spec into code. It helped that the target language had label gotos and permitted arbitrary identifiers, so the transformation was simple, and the resulting code looked like just like the spec. (Kind of ironic to see a comment elsewhere on this page dis'ing regexps.)

Password management has gotten completely out of hand. My dad, who is in his 60s but is pretty technologically savvy, has resorted to a master paper list of all his passwords (almost two dozen).

The situation has gotten worse in recent years. First, the unjustified worry about shoulder surfing means that password entry widgets make it impossible to figure out if you’ve entered the password correctly, especially on mobile where typing errors are common. Worse, some don’t even have a “show what I’m typing” mode. Second, many sites totally confuse the password managers in Chrome/Safari because they get fancy with having separate pages for username and password.

And all for what? My passwords have been leaked dozens of times over in various security breaches anyway.
