Some people might do that (not care enough to try). That's not what I mean specifically. I did go back and I did try, again and again. Bing just misses so much of the context of each query, does not understand to switch context based on some specific keyword like "ubuntu"vs"linux", etc. etc. It does not understand my half-articulated searches, - in which Google just shines because it thinks the rest of the thought for me and gets the result I really want and am looking for, usually on the first page of results.

This is not about liking the visual style of the webpage(google vs bing) or how it looks. This is about quality of results and me saving time.

This is not about me being lazy not doing "good search queries". If I can search google and get a result in 5 seconds, why would I spend 1 minute figuring out the best way to phrase something, then 3 more minutes trying different things that Bing would understand? I know there is enough information in my search, because Google understands it. Why should I add more words to it (and sometimes operators) for Bing to get it? Why should I waste my time for no reason? This does not hinder my thinking ability. It's just that Google is so good that it knows what I am thinking before I am completely done with formulating the thought. Damn, sometimes I am on a wikipedia page, I stumble upon a 4-word term unknown to me in that page, I start typing it and Google knows after 2 letters, it shows the whole complete term as a suggestion! And this happens with terms starting with very common words, so it's very likely that google just knows that most people google that exact thing after going to the Wikipedia page (since google sends me to wikipedia page from the beginning). When Bing will do these little things to aid my work, I will gladly switch.

I did try, and I do wish that Bing will get better. Right now it is simply not.

(Yes, I know there are privacy implications, and those suck. But we were talking about quality of searching...)
The AMA is not a union. Unions don’t restrict the supply of labor. They just help workers collectively negotiate for pay and conditions. Anyone can join a union, even at a “union shop” by getting hired at a place that is unionized. I was a UFCW member in college. Eligibility was automatic after I got hired.

When it's been studied for effectiveness, it turns out AA works for between 5% and 10% of the people in it; as it also turns out, that's about the same percentage of people for whom any group support program would work.

This isn't a distortion, this is the empirical view of AA.

As for explicitly unreligious, I would like to include the twelve steps here:

1) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.

2) Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3) Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5) Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6) Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7) Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8) Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9) Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10) Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

11) Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12) Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

I am struggling to find an unreligious interpretation for steps 3, 5, 6, 7, 11, and 12, even if the "higher power" isn't an Abrahamic religion "God".

What's a spiritual awakening to an atheist?

Ask HN: How to check the market for your saas product?
I have just finished a small tool that I would like to offer as saas. It is a very simple API that users can use from their terminal through curl/wget.

Still I don't have an idea about how to monetize it but I would like it to be in the wild for a while to see if there is any adoption at all.

My idea is to just buy a domain, publish the link somewhere it makes sense and wait.

Do you have any recommendations on how to maintain, scale and market a service like this?

Does the ECB hold bonds for Danske bank? The ECB and other central banks have been on a bond buying [0] 'spree' [1]

If the ECB holds these bonds then technically eu monetary union citizens do have exposure.

To me this seems to have been a dangerous decision by the ECB and other central banks. With their policy, could this have created a situation whereby companies that would not otherwise survive are now over-leveraged. The result being a small disruption bringing everything down with it?

To put the question another way, do we have a massive bubble in corporate debt due to central bank polcies, resulting in companies that should have gone under being over-leveraged.

With the ECB planning to stop the buying by end 2018, will we see a correction?

So I think you and I wil disagree a bit here

"First, the system was not safe...at all. There were pretty much constant financial crises through the 1960s."

I cant find any such systemic crashes that happened in the 60s. The 80s were a return to form following financial deregulation following the stagflation of the late 70s when monetary policy was shifted to technocrats in central banks where instead of following the maxim of full employment the shift went to price stability to reverse the effect of the capital strike going on. Even so what few blips there might have been seemed to have been well isolated enough that its ill effects werent globalised unlike today's hyper-connected financial sector.

"Trade and capital accounts were closed, even ones that were open had significant limitations." this part right here was the bit that made these risks relatively independent of one another. The BW agreement was far from perfect for reasons you mentioned however they did put a cap on free flow of capital unlike what we see today. (Central banks pumped how manh hundreds of billions of $ into the finacial sector with zero increase in inflation as predicted by traditional economics? We're at near 0 inflation and thats entirely down to money being able to funnel its way freely)

"It is impossible to distinguish between productive and speculative finance, " - Fair enough. My concern is who gets burned when it goes up in smoke. In our current environment of 'too big to fail too big to bail' the losses are put on the public balance sheet (Greek debt crisis most recently and I believe the president of the eurogroup basically held a gun to the Irish primeminister's head and forced them to socialise the losses of mostly german banks). So absolutely let them fail/succeed just make sure they do it with their own skin in the game and not others

I don't think they intend to solve that because the cases that it can't handle are basically application servers, plugin-based applications and the like. They violate the closed world assumption which graal's native image builder relies on.

Those are better served by a full JVM, optionally boiled down with jlink or with AOT compilation for faster startup, and the JEP that was mentioned upthread.
You probably would have been safe, unless you lived in Germany and used CASH26[1], like many N26 users do. In that case, a hacker could have just taken all the money out at the place you frequent using any device. Good luck trying to prove to the app-only bank that you didn't give your credentials to anybody, when the bank is not aware of any security breaches.

I used it initially but then found out that bare gpg covers most of my needs.

For example:

- passwords using pass [0] decrypted with Yubikey, and with Password Store [1] on Android (the same repo, the same Yubikey),

- FDE with LUKS decrypted on boot with Yubikey [2],

- encrypted e-mails with Enigmail and K9/OpenKeychain on Android, works with the same Yubikey 4C token! Web Key Directory on own domain for easy e-mail -> key mapping,

- OpenKeychain also has "linked identities" (verifying social profiles) but at this point I consider it barely useful stamp collection,

So yeah, in essence Java went from 8 to 11 if you look at it as a sequence of major releases such as 5, 6, 7, 8, and now 11.

I think a lot of developers skipped/will skip Java 9 and 10 (Java 9 is already unsupported and effectively history), except for testing their builds and preparing for the Java 8 to 11 migration.

ideological speech? when did Google become a content creator? they are a search engine, among other things, and they skew results against conservatives. the fact Google owns the most used search engine, browser, and mobile OS means they can control the content distributed through those mediums.

your 1A argument is moot. nobody is telling Google what they can say, which again, they don't produce content anyway. they are telling Google to make their platforms level for all points of view. speaking of 1A, InfoWars is all i have to say about that.

last thing, if you don't think conservatives are being censored on FB, Twitter, and Google... well, there's no point arguing. it's happening. DuckDuckGo it.

The rate was 12% but you completely ignore the average home price and its relation to average income. Housing was tremendously less expensive (even after interest), largely in part to the higher rate.
I dont think google should be regulated, they are free to censor. on the other hand i wouldnt cry if the GOP broke them all social sites up as it really is just an oligarchy. If only google blocked alex jones and he stayed on FB then i wouldnt see an issue because competition. However, i think its fair to say they are following the exact same policies so theres no competition.

The First Amendment has had many exceptions made for cases the founding fathers could not foresee and even cases they could but didn't consider the long term implications of. This could be just as valid as other exceptions. It'll be up the Supreme Court to decide.

This idealism reminds me of a post I saw here a long time ago about a software developer union. One of their stated goals was "to advocate for people whose job was displaced by automation".

Both read to me immediately like high octane, weapons grade, 200 proof naiveté.

"Everyone at UPS, for anything they do, should ask a simple question on any proposal ... how does this impact bicycle couriers?"

"Everyone at Amazon, for anything they do, should ask a simple quesiton on any proposal ... how does this impact local mom and pop general stores?"

The organization you're talking about is diametrically configured to oppose the thing you're saying they should be mindful of. I just don't even know how it's a thing you can imagine is possible in this world.

This comment reads to me like someone saying. "When anyone in the world is about to shoot another person, they should stop.. think about what they're doing and then _not_ shoot them. This would reduce the number of shootings dramatically."

I uh.. atleast to some degree agree with all the above things.. despite that, there's a whole axis of maximum confused exasperation I feel reading about them.

Python threads are real (operating system) threads.

Those are two separate and unrelated issues. One issue is the perceived bias against conservatives on their platform, the other issue is whether or not Google is in violation of anti-trust laws. Both issues can be debated, but the way you’ve framed it is extremely unhelpful and uncharitable.

Could anyone benevolently compare/contrast the modern development of Java's ecosystem with that of .NET Core?

I’m not sure what the middleman is, or which way the money flows, but there are also services that provide new music to retailers.

There are only two good reasons to do that:

I use it for a few of my personal Git repos, but that's about it. Some file storage but nothing too huge or important.
Sure, just about any project that has the concept of plugins. At runtime the code looks for plugin instances by searching for, e.g., META-INF/services/<interface_name> on the classpath. Inside that file (or files) you have implementation class names, which are collected and instantiated.
Another possible explanation is that unmarried people are likely to spend more time and effort pursuing new relationships instead of making money.
I didn't realize Winter got that cold there (but having spent a winter in Colorado I no longer complain about the cold in CA. :-) But Davis gets a lot of sun in Winter.

I prefer SF's climate(s) to that of the the Central Valley, but it's hardly hellish there. (Unless you're stuck in traffic on the freeway and your car's air conditioner is broken. That is a level of Hell I think.)

The real problem for startups is the lack of American style VC funding. European startups need to get profitable much earlier than US startups.

Early funding for startups is OKish. You can grow from 0 to 10-50 million, but after that it's better to sell the business to some big international firm, because you really struggle getting smart money that the ability to take the big risk.

Apple has been very good at buying out European startups. They got bargain prices for sleep monitoring, eye tracking, and computer vision startups in the last year.

>We would be better of saying no company can offer employment on $obviously_bad_for_employee terms than letting the 'market' decide.

Hold on -- are you saying that nothing about employment contracts should be up to the market? What are you counting as obviously bad here? Different people would say that e.g. under $wage/hr is obviously bad, but then you're right back to price controls.

What are you criteria for when something should be up to the market?
The survey is based on DSM-5 criteria, hence it includes under the "Hallucinogen" group several substances which are not classic serotonergic psychedelics, and excludes MDMA which is categorized under "Club drugs".
Substances included in the study are:
Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), peyote, mescaline, psilocybin, anticholinergics, N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM), Dimethoxybromoamphetamine (DOB), Salvia divinorum, dextromethorphan, and phencyclidine.

Based on previous epidemiological studies, a significant majority of "hallucinogen" users (as defined above) are in fact users of classic serotonergic psychedelics (such as LSD, psilocybin, mescaline and DMT).

Well that was pretty much what Apple paid for. I can already see that all my shazam tags automatically show up in Apple Music for me. Clearly this is just becoming another growth channel for Apple music which means their Spotify integration will likely be diminished or end.

PyQt is GPL or commercial.

Pyside/"Qt for Python" is LGPL.

You then need a license for QT, which is LGPL or commercial. You can use the LGPL version of Qt with commercial PyQt, but I never understood the hoops you might have to jump through in order to comply with the LGPL. Packaging python apps is painful enough without having to worry about that, might as well spend a little to avoid the aggravation. LGPL Qt also lacks a few advanced packages.
