It's not that they don't want to, it's just a lot of extra cost for a product their bulk userbase won't be all that interested in. Think about it, before today (or even after), would you have spent $20+ more for a USB hub with per-port power control?

Yup which was my point. It always trips me up when I use it on linux but it drives me a bit too far when every tool I use on Mac works that way.

We need deeper, local, and more meaningful social interactions, and less shallow, global, low quality connections.

In the course of the last 12000 years, we've evolved from small, hunter-gatherer tribes, to highly dense, highly competitive, modern human establishments, and in the process have created a world perhaps too complex to successfully navigate without properly augmenting our intellects and social abilities. It seems that much of the technology we have developed recently hasn’t worked in our favor, but rather against us, and one consequence might very well be loneliness.

No matter what we decide the proper course of action is to successfully address the challenges of modern life, we must not forget that the only way forward is to accept our shared destiny and the need for collaboration.

After all, we’re in this together. There’s no need to fight.
A couple of years ago I wrote a lengthy deconstruction of a Heinlein story[1], and had to note a number of unfortunate anachronisms that result from the basic fact that this future world had no computers, none. Their absence shows up in so many subtle ways! So often you say, "wait, why don't they just look it up? ...check an app? ...ask Siri?" When Heinlein wrote that particular story there was no such thing as a graphics terminal, or a computer smaller than a refrigerator, and he didn't make the imaginative leap.

That's fair. Saying it's a feature you don't like is reasonable. IMO, calling it spyware is too much.
> I'm a fairly traditionally feminine woman and spent a couple of decades as a homemaker and full-time mom. I am routinely met with open hostility from self proclaimed trans activists, feminists, etc.

> I personally like "manly men" and that's also not a PC thing to admit to. So I will suggest it isn't just men the world is saying "good riddance" to. It's also women in some sense.

I think, in this context, we need better and likely newer vocabulary. I don't believe that others would despise you or any other woman or man or an intersex person or someone in transition for liking certain characteristics (physical and/or behavioral) traditionally and historically associated with men.

The issue seems to be — while we're untangling all the discrimination, stereotyping and prejudices — that the current and older terms (like "manly man") reek of all these negative things that are being questioned (where newer ways are being sought to deal with). The impact of such broad terms is wider than what people may generally think of.

To make a comparison (which may be taken differently by different people), it's like using the "N" word and assuming that even a neutral or seemingly positive reference should be accepted by others.

Language is changing all the time and adapting to the times. In this particular case, I believe we should break down what something like "manly man" means into constituent parts and try to use decoupled (from the original term), yet concise and non-triggering, ways of expressing the same. It may not be easy. It may sound weird at first. But it's something we need as a society.

Lest this be dismissed as "oh, we just need new words to fix the world", I'd like to reiterate that the basis is to allow thoughts to change.

EDIT: Fixed the UI: I'm assuming you were looking at a topic, the "probable mood" used to render as it relates to the topic being searched, not current mood.

Highly recommend reading the "how it works" section (I assume you already have):

https://hnprofile.com/learn-more

That section has a few examples and details. I'll add further details below.

The system ONLY looks at comments sent to it. It, kind of looks like:

{ Author, Comment }

From there, everything else is derived. Nothing else, no profiles, no voting, nothing. That's it.

The system identifies:

- Expertise
- Knowledge
- Interests
- Relevant content
- Promoter score (an improved net promoter score)
- Trends
- Mood
- Related Topics
- etc.

To your question, there are multiple algorithms at work determining mood, most are pretty standard models. These are ones you can find in NLTK, spaCy, CoreNLP, etc. There's also a couple home-baked ones. These models than "vote" for the mood, with an averaged score. Typically these scores are 3 - 7 models voting at any one time. The aggregate score is roughly 80% accurate (based on my tags), and it tags the topics, sentence, and overall comment all separately. Finally, the models are much more accurate at the extremes: Very Positive and Very Negative, but in the middle, it's much fuzzier. This is in part, just how language works, it's subjective.

All NLP models are based on a combination of open datasets with the tagged sentiment, as well as my own manually created dataset, and finally, a dataset that was manually created via looking at following comments (for instance, "no need to be negative", is used to tag the prior comment.

The probable current mood is a prediction of your prior moods. I believe right now, it looks at the last time you discussed the given topic you searched (if you searched for a user, it is the most recent mood). If there is enough data, it'll also predict your mood, based on the time of day + topic being discussed.

Finally, I should add - there are definitely improvements to be made, and I'm currently working on mood. Primarily, the focus was on expertise, knowledge, and interests. That is what enables the "related content" section and is now very accurate (given a decent number of data samples). Mood, as stated, is ~80% accurate based on my tags. I think I can do better (probably >90%), especially with more labeled data for this particular dataset.

The goal of this is it can drop into any company and instantly can search for who and what is relevant to your company.
Yepkit [1] makes these! They have 3 port hubs for USB 2 and 3, as well as single port "hubs" -- all controlled through a simple command-line interface or Python API. They also have other good stuff like USB controlled relay boards and upstream USB hubs to switch devices between hosts.

I've used their products in a variety of automation projects for clients and at home, and have only good things to say.

Perhaps in 2018 it's a good reminder how having a monopoly is often not great for consumers.
Sure, and this would just result in two separate profiles in Chrome.
FWIW, after posting, I did contemplate adding:

While it's an impressive piece of technology, I think it's the wrong way to approach this problem. Of course big scale agriculture needs to spray glyphosate and the like, but a technology to minimize the usage combined with a more customized method of application should be considered, too. Hops farmers in Germany e.g. only apply insecticides to the roots of a plant to protect them from being eaten up. If the farmers add some bee hives to the mix, it might help to recover the bee population, which is better than giving up on bees and replace them.
Logically, it would seem to. If you can have an apple and either a ball or a cat, that's logically the same as having either an apple and a ball, or an apple and a cat. In terms of types, they are the same.
A long time ago I handed a rather hefty bill to my boss (240 hours in a month).

He called me in later that day to ask WTF, and I reminded him that most of those hours were spent working in HIS office. It was a crazy situation and we were in the thick of it together. After that I stated that I wasn't billing for thinking about our problems on my commute or in the shower (where all great ideas come from).

Work doesn't always start and end at the office door for many of us - I could easily justify 10 outside the office hours every week, but I am not everyone and I can't/dont often bill for that time.
Of course if it's a FTL ship photographs themselves can't really have any evidentiary value...
I want to highlight that it's not for the current Windows version but for the old Windows 7 which is closing its end of life.
It is unfortunate that this pretty serious issue is going to be somewhat "guilty by association", but I don't think it will get so bad that no one's going to care about it. Men are just, well, too invested in this stuff. I just wanted to allay concerns that nobody's going to care because it would be too "un-PC".
In memoriam – Mount Vernon, a sanctuary which provided both comfort and chills
I can see an answer, but is very unpopular, and conflicts with what many of consider the very principles of the internet.

People need to be held accountable for what they post publicly online.

Aggregators such as Facebook and Google should be sued, fined, or otherwise punished for publishing incorrect facts, and copyrighted material. They should not be extended special exemptions.

Aggregators will need to verify the identity of anybody they are allowing to post, so they can in-turn sue, fine, or punish users.

Might be the death of the internet as we know it today, but I'm not sure I will miss it.
How to choose the right free online website security scanner
This may be attributable less to a lack of enthusiasm and more to the physical size and TDP of Epyc CPUs. Additionally, it would be very hard to take advantage of Epyc's increased PCIe lane count at half-U densities (which is, of course, not relevant to all use cases) and would likely constrain number of memory slots.

Personally, I've never been convinced that such high server densities [1] provide a net benefit. Ever since "blade" systems first came out, and through the current availability of the half-U models (e.g. 4 per 2U) or even 2S 1U models, they've been plagued with thermal design issues and, sometimes, reliability issues due to non-commodity parts and/or needing to spin tiny-diameter cooling fans so much faster.

Until relatively recently, there wasn't even datacenter space available that could accomodate such systems at full density running at full load. What did become available was at a premium (in addition to paying a premium for the higher-density hardware in the first place).

[1] more than 1S/U or so
I think it's a reasonable interpretation and I agree with GP. APIs used to be seen as fair use and a way to compete, in the similar way to how IBM-compatibles are seen. However, when it became clear to Oracle that there is money to be had, they changed the very definition of copyright to get their fill. What's to say they wont mutate some other aspect of IP law in the future just to make you liable like they did with google?

If you're big enough, they will come after you. I think it's perfectly rational - and i'd argue smart - to cut them off early before it's too late.
It's not much better in San Francisco, in my experience. Even with the gender imbalance, it's easier to find a girlfriend than to make a friend.
I’d support a political platform to create a legal framework to execute high-level corporate criminals like the Sacklers and their henchmen.
That’s the unfortunate thing about the design. They are such fantastic headphones but for many people it doesn’t matter since they simply can’t wear them. Apple doesn’t have any other styles or adapters or anything so if you or someone they don’t fit… you’re just out of luck.

I understand it a little bit, how would you advertise to people how they’re supposed to figure out which ‘fit’ they should buy? It is easier just to make one that fits the majority of people (whether that’s 60% or 90% I don’t know) and just avoid the issue.
The only reason I use chrome is the easy debugger hookup for VSCode. If anyone has any tips on how to get that running with FF, I'm all ears!
How long ago was Windows 7 released? How long should they continue supporting it at no extra cost?
There are all kinds of problems with wanting 'unbiased' anything. As if values can be cleanly separated from facts in the world. (There's a lot of philosophy written on these subjects.. e.g. Hilary Putnam has a lot of interesting essays exploring these topics, collected in his books)

Ok, there are facts like "X is the president of the USA", I think uncontroversial. But most 'things that happened' don't fit in that category, 'news' especially. And the dividing line between which things and which don't is itself a matter of interpretation...

What appears on tv/print/internet news has to be selected from 'all the things that actually happened' according to some view of what's significant, which depends on someone's values, or impression of other peoples' values etc etc. What gets to be included already is interpretation, value-laden, not to mention how its described. A list of bare uncontroversial facts would be trivia - that's what trivia is.

Like in the writing of history, where the facts must be selected, interpreted etc, only a tiny fraction can be included in the writing. This element of personal values, sense of what is important, is what is called 'bias'. I don't believe it's possible or desirable to be rid of it.
Once cars are shared and autonomous they're going to be like riding a private bus, plane or train (or an Uber without a driver). You'll be staring at your phone/laptop/iPad for the whole ride and will not be personalizing anything but the sound playing over the speakers.

An Apple Care would be as if Apple wanted to get into the house market. HomeKit+devices, Apple TV, HomePod etc. are analogous to what Apple could achieve in the car space. I can't see them releasing anything better than a fully autonomous Tesla that allows you to AirPlay to the center screen.

It almost saddens me to see them poaching talent from Tesla when Tesla has so much momentum right now. I don't see Apple achieving anything Tesla won't in the long term. Instead, they're just going to delay how long it takes Tesla to get there.
They did the same thing when XP went EOL why would you expect it to be any different for Win 7
Perhaps it would be enough to just Google-translate the text to some other language and back?
Look I'm a contributor to Firefox and even I think it's a stretch to say that FF has multi-profile support. I mean the feature is technically there but it's unusable by everyone except FF nerds. It's a special kind of hell where something like

FIREFOX_PROFILE_DIR=~/.profile1 firefox

FIREFOX_PROFILE_DIR=~/.profile2 firefox

would actually be an improvement on the UX.
There are problems here though. What if the key gets stolen or the bug found in the algorithm? All this makes it not very sustainable.
It's right in the title. Agreed; it's two versions old. Does Apple still support OS8?
I like it compared to javascript, but I think it would be crazy to use it for backend work. I think making typescript happy probably saved me more time than it cost, but it's pretty janky, even compared to similar type systems like mypy. The ability to lie about types caused me quite a bit of confusion, with some libraries, especially immutable.js.

Next time I want to develop a frontend system, I think I'll try reasonml.
I didn't even think of these two terms together in this context and I don't think of those as synonyms, and my usual thoughts in this case are about the characteristics and attributes that are used to discriminate against those who don't seem to be "manly men" or those who seem to be "manly men", while society (or parents or others) wants them to be and fulfill what they (the others) think is their traditional role. Tradition is not set in stone. Nothing is. The clash is sometimes with certain behaviors, but it's also many a times with prejudiced associations that discriminate and affect others.

P.S.: I also believe that short pieces of written words and sentences can be misinterpreted online, and probably malice attribute to where there is none.
Yes. IIRC from my testing a while back, both 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 close TLS connections either immediately or after a short timeout. Short timeout could work if you're running a larger network, but not so much at home.
Last I checked, they still haven't had stabled cross-device tab sync.
How the top 1 percent fosters inequality
I was agreeing with you. I am only saying so because my impression is that is not your takeaway here.
Thanks for sharing these details. I'd like to chat more about it if you'll bear with me:

Last I checked I was "tense". Is it theoretically possible to explain why your models came to that conclusion? Is there a theoretical data view that could say "here's the comments that contributed to you being considered "tense" (or even better: specific parts of the comments).

From my perspective, without a way to concretely back up any conclusion made, I simply cannot consider the complex-sounding systems to be any better than RNG.

I alluded to this in my first comment, but I think it's imperative that if you're going to explicitly call out what mood you think someone was/is/will be, you need to back it up with "why" so that, at the very least, someone can say, "that's clearly an unfair representation of my mood and here's where the algorithms messed up."

I'm going to go on a bit of a limb and assume that you're just having some fun and exploring an interesting feature. And I think that's really quite cool. But I think we're getting into a software engineering ethics realm that I'm ill-equipped to dig in to. You've got a site that applies "moods" to individuals in a way that doesn't appear to be verifiable. And even if they are, and are accurate, is that even the right thing to do?

I don't want to ruin your fun or twist your arm into changing this. I'm just responding to my red-alert alarm that lives in my stomach. It's set off by the discovery that one of my few online accounts where I don't hide my identity has been assigned a mood label.
What's the point of confidentiality for DNS? Can't an attacker pretty easily get IP-to-DNS mappings to discover who you're talking to? I guess not in the case of VPNs/TOR?
Imagine that XP and Win7 where spun off to different companies and allowed to compete with Win10.
Mistakes C/C++ Devs make writing Go
Surely it's no coincidence that, as Oracle removes differences between its JDK and OpenJDK, that they are throwing their weight behind this non-community project, with an enterprise version. Between sunsetting community owned Nashorn in favor of Graal solution to giving tools to OpenJDK presumably with fewer of their own maintainers, the resource shift is clear. Not that it's wrong or even nefarious, but devs need to realize who they're getting in to bed with when building a reliance on the tech.

Ask HN: How to transition from academic programming to software engineering?
I taught myself how to code and ended up doing a PhD in a computational discipline. Programming has been a big part of my life for at least the last decade, during which I've written code almost every day, but always by myself. After graduating I joined a medium-sized company (~10^2 developers) as a machine learning engineer and realized how much I don't know about software engineering. I feel very comfortable with programming in the small, but programming in the large still feels mostly opaque to me. Issues like testing / mocking, code review, management of dev / stage / prod workflows and, most importantly, the judgment / taste required to make maintainable changes to a million LOC repository, are areas where I can tell I need to improve.

Former academics who moved into software engineering, which resources did you find most useful as you made the transition? Python-specific or language-agnostic books would be most helpful, but all advice would be welcome.
Perhaps feminine isn't the right word, perhaps what I mean is a devaluation of masculine traits. In my opinion we live in a time of extreme obedience to law, taboo and shaming of physical violence (with instead an emphasis on social shaming via television/media), and a general fear of social confrontation and disagreement. Our focus instead is on acceptance of absolutely everyone and everything.
