What things that SQLite does revolves around anything halting-problem related? Almost all SQLite queries are over a finite amount of data and have a well-specified legal solution set that barely requires recursion; WITH RECURSIVE doesn't have to halt but still has a well-defined semantics where it does. I think even most optimization problems on SQL queries are decidable; you have to want to do quite interesting things (like prove query subsumption) before you get into undecidability territory.
And not sharing them doesn't either.

You still haven't made a point.

Is the intelligent action the action that is most likely to benefit the group?

Is a group of 20 fed dogs stronger than a group of 20 dogs where one goes hungry and becomes a weak or unstable element?

Seems like you're just trying to somehow rally against equality and/or sharing, by associating them with naivité, like you have some knowledge others do not, because you don't like those words, rather than trying to actually discuss the concepts they represent, specifically in this context, properly.

It's hard for me to say what would've happened as we drift further and further off into a pretty different hypothetical life but for reference it took me quite a long time post-grad to find a software job. It certainly wasn't due to a lack of looking, but rather that I lived in an area without many opportunities which meant that I would need to be relocated in order to kickstart my career.

Eventually I landed on a great company that was willing to do that, but it was a difficult search as an entry-level developer. Would I have been able to pay off my debt? In 5-10 years maybe. That's still a large burden for people to bear, and we're in one of the better paying careers.

That is what people are taught good journalism is. I agree, it's annoying and time consuming. It is disrespectful of my time as a reader.
I attended a panel at Rights Con 2016 about getting tech stories picked up by the news. One tip from journalists on the panel was that articles anchored on a human narrative arc tend to be more successful. The human story helps people understand why it is worth investing time to learn the related facts/science/tech.
Similar story for me, but with a Dragonball Z fan site. Internet, I'm sorry.
Because the load is spread equally if there is a difference in the capacity / internal resistance of the battery it can cause a higher load on it than it can safely discharge at that moment.

That said this is a problem with all batteries which is solved trough rebalancing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_balancing

Without this we wouldn’t ba able to make battery packs with 100s not to mention 1000s of cells and even smaller battery packs would die much much sooner.

A good analogy would be if you have a boat with multiple people rowing and one of them can’t hold the same pace if you don’t adjust for it you aren’t going to hold course and if you don’t let the man catch a break they’ll pass completely eventually.

Unable to afford stuff is not poverty. It's a symptom of poverty.

Poverty is the inability to know how or be able to survive at a minimum comfortable level in our society.

The causes are many, such as lack of education, addiction, early parenthood, good role models, lack of good health and many more I can't even begin to imagine.

So giving people stuff and housing is only a temporary solution. The solution is so much more and it takes years to get ahead of it.

Look at Venezuela, they tried to solve their poverty problem very simply by basically giving people food and shelter without fixing the fundamental problem of lack of knowledge and the other problems that cause poverty and now they are in worst trouble than ever and yet in theory they had the financial resources to fix the problem.

What you mention is just a start and poverty will always be unless the more fundamental problems are fixed.

Stop and Go is caused by trying to maintain a constant distance to the front car but isn't caused by automatics, people with stick behave the same.

The simple solution is to behave like an inductor in electronics; if the front car starts, take a bit of time to get going and don't try to maintain the gap. That way you average out the speed of the stop-and-go traffic more than if you were maintaining distance.

It might help to think of stop-and-go as a wave of stop-traffic through go-traffic where the reaction time of drivers shortens or lengthens the stop-traffic duty cycle. If a driver maintains enough distance to eat an entire stop-cycle without stopping themselves, they have effectively nullified the stop-wave. If they can't do the entire cycle they can still help in reducing the duty cycle of the stop wave.

I used Netscape’s Composer for a while, then Frontpage. It was the sheer frustration of trying to get it to do what I want that lead me into actually learning and mastering HTML.

I was told by a number of “experts” at the time that I was silly and WYSIWYGs were the way forward. It’s some 20 years later and thus far they’ve still never really worked very well. Also, man that makes me feel old.
Not everything is on the German Amazon. Some things are only on the US/Spain/Italy one. Or it is sometimes on that one, sometimes not.

Amazon often does NOT tell you the shipping costs until just before you make the order. This while any other price comparison site allows you to compare prices including shipping (e.g. Tweakers.net pricewatch). I don't understand why people use Amazon. From my colleagues only foreigners use Amazon. Dutch colleagues often use sites which might be foreign, but at least appear more Dutch.

German Amazon uses machine translation for appearing to be Dutch. Original language is German. Another bit which makes the experience annoying.

Lastly, most Dutch sites offer really easy returns. Amazon is more of a hassle.

And BSD. Early on, we ran the first and largest MS FrontPage 'certified' web hosting provider, we enabled it on BSD with content in the same Unix home directories we gave our dialup clients.

Folks who made web sites in those days and paid $20/month to host them provided a pretty compelling library of content compared to today's pay-per-click 'blogosphere'.

I liked the "put up or shut up" pay-to-host model, driven by your beliefs, not your readers.

And despite the pretty garish things that happened in that web design era that FrontPage memorialized (rollover buttons!), kudos to Vermeer for democratizing web site creation.
But the neo-feudalism makes like 100 people happy, so, checkmate, you communist!!

(On a more serious note, I fully expect automation to simply lead to automated armies defending the rich from the poor, rather than relieving any suffering anywhere. Productivity increases have not lead to (proportional) wage increases, have not lead to (proportional) reductions in working hours. The internet has not lead to information-driven utopia, but instead ad-serving dystopia. Automation will also fall to the deathly grip of capitalism, as does everything else.)
And desktop notifications
This is probably heavily affected by at least two things:

1. increase in healthcare costs and how health insurance is bound to employment

2. increase in wealth concentration and a shift from cash compensation to asset compensation (Bezos is only absurdly rich if he liquidates his Amazon holding instantly)

So, I would say your portrayal of hourly compensation is disingenuous as well. All of these statistics probably need to be calculated as medians instead of means ("compensation per hour" sounds suspiciously like "total compensation / total hours", which is a mean) in order for it to come close to accurately describing the situation of the median American, because wealth concentration has skewed the mean American into something a lot more optimistic than one would think.
Yep, this was always the main argument against them when I was growing up.

Some of the older automatics were also hilariously bad, with clunky gear changes and noticeably long delay on kick down. Perhaps American drivers were more tolerant of this because they drive such long distances, so a relaxing drive was more important than an engaging one.

One related tool that's often forgotten, I find, is Microsoft Publisher. Publisher 97 had an option to build and export an entire site 100% visually. I had family members use it to build their complete personal sites.

It was a pretty clever system, too. It built layouts automatically using complex tables, split out text where it could, used image maps where it had to, etc. It wasn't something you'd be proud of using but it was the fastest tool for non-technical users at the time and would probably even hold up pretty well now(!)
While technically true, there is not much practical difference.

Like on a motorbike I tend to tweak slow speeds with the clutch only and leave the throttle in one position most of the time.

With an automatic car since the brakes are not binary and automatic gearboxes have often forward creeping I only tweak the brakes. Helps to force the gearbox into 2nd gear as well for even slower creeping.

In fact, I think automatic gearboxes reduces traffic jams as fewer parts to think of so less likely to accidentally make a mistake and cause congestion.

Wonder how many jams are due to accidental stalling a manual gearbox.

Traffic jams without an automatic gearbox is no fun. (or even less fun)

How to Flash Android LG Smart Device with LG Flash Tool
Hello, friends, I have recently brought an LG G4 device and wanted to flash but I didn't get a simple step guide to conducting my flashing process. I have already downloaded the utility from the given official site. If anyone can help me to install it on my device that would be a great help. Thank You.
I'm not trying to make a point or rallying against anything. I'm simply saying that I work hard to acquire resources for myself and will never give them away. We can all make moral/ethical/humane arguments about equality and fairness but I simply don't care. If that makes me unintelligent, then I suppose that's just something I'll have to accept.
My Samsung Plasma TV has two modes I really enjoy:

One is the 24 frame, cinema mode. I bought "How The West Was Won" on Blu Ray. It is probably the most beautiful Blu Ray title I have. And it looks very different when the usual, normal TV modes are used for viewing.

The other one is "game" or "monitor" mode, and the TV actually does next to nothing to the signal, just blasts the pixels out as they come. That Blu Ray looks pretty good in this mode, but has motion jitter because the frame rates are not matched to the original.
It seems simple enough to raise minimum wages: => tap into corporate profits that are through the roof & reduce the working poor problem. Organizing in unions would work too.

Minimum wages exist for a reason: the job market does not satisfy the conditions for making it an "equilibrium" market. As long as unions are weak, corporations can and will strong-arm the labor force into cheaper and cheaper work.

The fact that it has become a better choice to live on welfare than working with minimum wage is ridiculous.
That's fair and i don't delude myself that perfect equality exists in any meaningful sense. Continuously aspiring towards a kinder and fairer society however is a good thing.
I’m actually a fan of using the “system font stack”, so your viewers get a font that’s optimised for their particular device/browser.

For headings/titles where you want a specific font.. maybe some kind of trick with an svg+fallback text?

Web fonts often cause a noticeable delay of unreadable text for me, presumably because of not fantastic latency due to being in Thailand.

Ask HN: How do you rank documents according to multiple criterias?
I work for a furnitures marketplace, and we are starting to rework our catalog system to make better use of our limited web real-estate.

I'm currently gathering insights from a bunch of companies to see how they tackle the ranking problem and would love to get feedbacks from you as well.

To be more precise, I'd mostly focus on pure ranking and not dwelve into personnalized recommendations or textual search results. An example would be ranking products according to their seller's ratings, probability of being in stock, shipping price, and number of user interactions.

Here are a few starter questions:

1/ Do you pre-score your documents with a batch / stream system and rank only on this score?

2/ Do you run multi-criterias queries on the database? Is the resulting ranking sequential or averaged?

3/ How do you collaborate with your data / marketing team on the ranking algorithm?

Thanks!

Generally fakes are a no!no! within the EU. Obviously not all fakes are caught and if they are the minimum consequence is confiscation.

In countries with strong brand manufacturing interests, notably Italy and France, it can be very expensive if they catch you with that 50$ "Bolex" watch from Bangkok, or with fake LV gear. Fines can go into the 1000s of Euros.

The first step in making better choices is to realize that one is making choices.
I live in the EU where there's no freedom of speech and Google and the rest of tech companies are already being told about what they have to censor. I don't see how this is anything new. It's only in the news because it's China.

What I find amazing is that so few people here notice the consequences of working hard in a field that is not worth it anymore. His entire family should have slowly "pivoted" away from fishing long long time ago (the first/second year with a low ROI for the risk). The same applies to IT or any other sector. When the prospective ROI turns negative (subtract the total costs of your job(time/health/opportunity) from the total salary) you are basically as rich as someone selling their kidneys but you only find it later.

Education - sure. The only purpose these masses can serve is acting as genetic pool for picking the best and uplift them through education. A permanent caste-like system is doomed as next generation of it won't be as performing as the previous one. But we have to understand that only a small majority - a few percent - of the poor will be uplifted. The rest has to be kept at bay in one way or the other.

As for fortress thing - you are exaggerating. There isn't so much crime around these days, much less than 30-40 years ago when things were still going fine according to the article.

In the end, it's just the technology change. 40-50 years ago uneducated masses who were members of solid middle class have been factory workers. They are automated away. There isn't anything which could be done about this. Besides, exactly 40-50 years ago, during Jimmy Carter era, same things were said about farmers who found themselves displaced with great improvements in farming productivity. History just repeats itself.

And yes, classes must be sustainable and moving between them should be difficult, only through exceptional personal (genetic) abilities and a lot of effort. Otherwise they are not classes, just people gambling and some of them winning.

My wife insisted on an automatic car because she doesn't drive much and wanted to keep it simple. I was a bit hesitant, because when I first got my driver's license I really liked driving my parent's manual car. Now I've really come to enjoy driving an automatic. The two main benefits are when I drive in heavy traffic and either have to switch lanes or when I'm in a slow moving queue; in both situations there's one less thing to think about. I'm sure it makes it easier for me to focus on the surrounding traffic because there's less stuff on my mind.

Other benefits, when I think about it, are that an automatic frees up one foot and one hand. I can drive with my cup of tea or coffee without having to shift, which is great. I don't know if it directly helps with awareness, but it helps me stay awake.
You could also have a webring for that
As a very long time and satisfied-but-worried Amazon customer, I think that prices going up was something to be expected and not a surprise at all. Instead, the way they're dropping the ball with customer satisfaction is really surprising: I recently moved to London and started buying even more stuff online - most of it from Amazon, even if I often try to find alternatives just because I don't want them to become a monopoly.

But the amount of broken or 'wrong' stuff I'm getting is really surprising. From one point of view this is very concerning to me as a customer. From another point of view, it's motivating me to find alternatives much more than just the idealistic worry was doing, so, there's at least a good point here.
Isn't it funny that the _tone_ for an article written more than 20 years ago can change over time? Honestly, I don't know if the article was written in sarcasm or not.

After training for some time, the handling of stickshift is not processed consciously by the brain, it's more like walking, which is actually quite impossible to do consciously.

The same applies to pretty much everything in driving, of course. Initially, when learning to drive, the information flow overwhelms people, because the brain tries to understand and process everything. Eventually, routines take over and the low-level things like how to turn the steering wheel, or how to handle brakes or shifting, is done unconsciously.

Tobacco and Alcohol being legal whilst we've criminalised weed/amphetamines/cocaine doesn't make much sense to me. The arbitrary lines are clearly spurious and historical.

Once a company becomes comfortable with censorship, search manipulation in the name of their own politically motivated agenda... censorship and search manipulation can be repackaged if the price is right.

There are many here (as well as those 1,400 Googlers who signed the letter) who turned a blind-eye toward censorship and public manipulation when they agreed with the politics. This is the end result. Sadly... it's just the tip of the iceberg as the future looks much more bleak.

Show HN: API to detect abusive content in 27 languages
Hello HN,

I am Vadim of Tisane Labs (http://tisane.ai). We build text analytics APIs.

My natural language processing journey started over a decade ago, when I built an NLP engine with an emphasis on scalability across languages. The engine served as a foundation of a startup I cofounded in 2010 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinguaSys), which had Mark Cuban as an investor and was acquired in 2015.

Utilizing our expertise, we're trying to tackle one of the most painful issues with the Internet today: abusive content. Hate speech, sexual harassment, cyberbullying are difficult to detect. Today's solutions mostly look for obscenities; correlation with training datasets only works with limited demos as the patterns of abuse are too many. Hate speech is more than just ethnic slurs.

The API is a generic analytical engine, so it may be used for other purposes as well, but abusive content is our main focus.

We'd love to hear your feedback, ideas, wishes, and complaints.
