Throughout every single year of my schooling, there was at least one teacher who would always tell us that we were without a doubt the worst class they'd ever seen in their life and they were quitting next year.

Are kids getting worse? Maybe. But teachers who think it's the end of the world and not just that they're getting old and grumpy have been around since teaching began.

Even Socrates was saying kids these days are hopeless. [1]

Kids today will be worse at some things previous generations were better at. They'll also do things that people today can't even imagine. Skills shift through the ages. I bet the average goober here on HN couldn't butcher a hog or build a barn like our great-grandparents could, but our great grandparents couldn't manage server farms either.

To him it was justified and no matter how evil a person you think it is, I'm pretty sure you can always find some other people who think its is right.
My favorite is the FLAC algorithm. It's fairly simple to explain - take a signal input, pattern match a generative signal that closely matches the original or part of it, and the output is a combination of that generative code and the difference between it and it and the input.

Second favorite is the LISP REPL. Specifically the Eval function, thanks to this classic video of Sussman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m6hoOelZH8

> Then getting rid of SD card is more about moving towards the future, and not the past. The problem is not only does such standard not exist, Apple isn't working on any, the industry couldn't care less.

Makes sense but in fact I'm glad nobody is inventing a replacement. There are things that just work great, are simple and don't have to be replaced. Like headphone jacks. And SD cards are among of these things.
Their roadmap was JUST updated, do probably few months.
Sounds like you used it as a replacement for a sane queue system. Rdio had it and it allowed to persistently queue songs, albums or even playlists across any rdio client.

> RE: France, are you kidding me? French people do get fat.

Like most of the world that switches to a "western diet", France is not immune to it. They've got McDonald's and junk food there too.

That said France has been a "paradox", as noted since the 1980s, due to their low incidence of coronary heart disease or other chronic diseases, in spite of their high consumption of dietary fat and cholesterol.

Of course, the French diet is only a paradox due to the American dietary guidelines being dead wrong. And as they switch more and more to the American diet, of course, they stop being a paradox.

Parent of a 7-year-old. It's definitely not perfect but I feel we've mitigated some of the worst of YouTube by placing our kid's computer in the living room where we all spend most of our time and not giving him headphones. He has a tablet but I used parental controls to block the browser on it.

This has forced us to be aware of and involved in his media choices. I've spent a lot of hours watching stuff with him and critiquing/unpacking it (he doesn't always like this of course) but also enjoying it. We've encountered lots of those unboxing videos and had lots of conversations about what's good to watch and what not, how to spot advertisements, etc. Knowing something about how YouTube channels work and get funded really helps lift the veil: A grown man playing with kids' toys??? Do those kids really own all those toys? Is that a story or an advertisement? How are PBS Kids shows different from Stampy, and how are both of these different from fidget spinner unboxing videos? What did you learn from that video?

After a lot of these conversations I see a real difference between the stuff he watches on his own and the kind of things his friends watch with him when they come over. I'm sure he watches all kinds of crap at his friends' places but at least I feel like I've given him some cognitive tools and defenses.

I've also set up his devices on their own separate wifi network that shuts off at 20:30 and doesn't come on again until he's at school. Between his afterschool programs and dinner and the bedtime routine, he can't watch much more than an hour a day. Weekends are still a problem though.
Exactly. They will just charge whatever it cost to have their apps the default. Maybe even a little more and use to increase profits.

But this will also help Pixel sales as it will cause more fragmentation in the EU and make the Pixel more attractive. Also help Apple for same reason.

I have crossed this bridge a fair number of times, by car as well as by train. An engineering marvel, I'm sure, and presumably an efficiency upgrade from the ferries, though I actually used to enjoy those.
But aesthetically it will never catch my fancy. There's something unbalanced, something visually completely off, by this giant construction solidly anchored to land at one end, and then ignominiously disappearing into a seeming whole in the water at the other.
There were good reasons for this solution, yes, I'm aware. But it still looks wrong.

I like Fortune's algorithm for Voronoi regions. Especially if it is being visualized - watching the beach line sweep through and the polygon regions form is kind of hypnotic.

I also have spent way too much time trying to get an implementation of it right, so there's a little stockholm syndrome.
>At what point are these people going to wrap their heads around the concept that there's no way to implement these sorts of policies without compromising security?

You make the mistake in thinking they're ignorant of how much security they are compromising. The language of these bills is not designed to cover up incompetence - its designed to cover up competence.

You see, the Australian government knows full well what it's doing. What it is depending on, is that the Australian people don't have a clue - and really, they don't. Sure, a few sectors are well enough educated on the subjects to raise objections - but Australian politics has never allowed minority voices to be heard, and people raising objections to heinous Australian policies are easily silenced - Australian politics is designed to disallow such from happening.

The way to view this whole episode, is with much cynicism and disgust at the way the Australian people are manipulated. It is one of the most captive western audiences, most easily influenced by a powerful media industry, and everything that is being done in Australia to make forced decryption possible is just a test for the broader market - the USA and Europe - that will be attacked next.

Surely though that's different from fake likes assuming the advertiser is aware of it.

I feel like YouTube by now is more similar to TV advertising, you take in consideration that people could just have the tv on in the background while doing something else or going around the house. Unless you don't know what you are doing with your advertising budget of course.

>I don't see a single reason why you can be forced to incriminate yourself.

While thread didn't really get into citizenship, if you're aren't a citizen of the state in question you have no right of entry. The state has the right to ask for any information they wish and set criteria for entry as they wish. It's not a matter of "incrimination" as in you go to jail, it's a matter of obtaining permission for entry, you have no "right to remain silent". And in a democratic state I don't think that's immoral either. Knowing is in fact their business, and if it shouldn't be then the government should tell its border controls to not inquire at all.

>I would happily say "no" and smile if I was you when asked about what you did in a different country that they have no business knowing.

Obviously as a practical matter there are many situations where the odds of getting caught are minimal to non-existent, but I would be very cautious about casually committing perjury. Particularly in this worrying day and age of photos everywhere and ever increasing ML that can actually make sense of it and centralized datasets that governments may be able to gain access to. For example, particularly when the behavior is made legal I'd expect there to be a lot more people who post pictures of themselves using cannabis or not being concerned if someone else in the picture is because of course it's legal. Combine with spreading facial recognition and person tagging on places like Facebook and advertising (since it's legalized) that will be actively and legally interested in "is so-and-so a user so we can sell them related products" and someone could quite easily end up in a database saying "confirmed to use cannabis" without ever knowing. There are many times where "the coverup is worse then the crime" is quite true, and something that would merely get you politely or not so politely turned away would turn into a serious crime by lying about it. You can't know when an authority is asking you something out of actual interest vs a question they know the answer to already just to test you.

Honesty and political pressure seems better in this specific case given that it's not like there isn't already a major legalization movement in the US too. Canada is an extremely important business partner and source of tourism and ally. If enough Canadians were denied entry over this then even under this administration pressure to simply change the rules to ignore it would be very high. If not under this one then when the Democrats retake control.

>I'm amazed that Uber is considered an affordable commute device. Is that a SV phenomenon ?

Just the cost of registering a car in CA buys you a lot of Uber rides. Then there's parking and maintenance (the HN demographic is taking their cars to the dealer, not down the street to the neighbor who fixes cars as a side gig) and the fact most people rich enough to afford to use Uber every day are comparing to the payments on a Tesla, not a one time purchase of an old Civic.

It's an upper-class phenomenon that's exacerbated by some SV and CA specific economic circumstances.
Contrary to the article, I’ll argue that the electron does not carry the information. The EM field carries the information, which is the same as a photon. The static charge (electron) is the information, but that is not the lossy part.

Even if you could get rid of RC losses in an IC, you’d still be clock rate limited by the delay (speed of light) across the chip.
Actually it's pretty elegant by itself, Consider this all traversals are same,

val someDS;

while(!someDS.isEmpty()){

addChildren(someDS.pop())

}

Now replace, someDs with

Queue -> BFS

Stack -> DFS

Priority Queue, with priority of distance so far -> Dijkstra.

Priority Queue, with distance + heuristic -> A*

Its beautiful.

Kratom has many benefits, including the ability to get people off of serious opiate addictions.

However, it is dependence forming and many people have said the withdrawal process is worse even that heroin or benzo withdrawal. It's not without its negative affects.
That's pointless projection. I read The Master and Margarita a long time ago because I read somewhere that it was one inspiration for the Rolling Stone's Sympathy for the Devil, so I wasn't exactly driven by pretentious intellectualism. It still managed to become one of my favorite novels and I even started learning Russian because of it (still working on that actually). I hope someday I'll be able to read it in the original language.

In hindsight I only regret starting with an English translation instead of a French one as I suspect that Russian maps better (although obviously still very imperfectly) with French grammar.

Now if you want signaling of intellectualism I've also seen Simon McBurney's adaptation of the novel as a play at Avignon's theater festival a few years ago and it was absolutely magnificent.
But without Google Play Services and/or Play store, etc people would not buy.
Cooking the books is far worse than pushing misleading metrics to customers, at least as far as corporate ethics goes. The risks would be enormous, and the benefit would be temporarily propping up the stock price, which is not all that helpful if you aren't currently raising money. Facebook most likely isn't defrauding investors simply because it goes against Facebook's interests to do so.

Of course, companies come up with their own metrics all the time, but they have to be published alongside GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) metrics.

It's a double edged sword. Of course you want to avoid fragmentation and consumer frustration. But where do you draw a line and call it what it is: monopolistic behaviour that stifles competition.
My personal experience is that there are people who'll smoke marijuana to the point of not functioning properly in everyday life. It does appear that it is less addictive than alcohol but it's important that people realize that marijuana is not problem free and not a cure all. Which is sometimes the rhetoric from people who pushed for legalization.

This assumes that you would be not around people who will tell you in normal conversation important things that you should know. That would be the unhealthy thing.

Most people can safely give up reading and watching the news and still be aware and informed through their normal daily interactions and lives of the world around them.
If f is monotonic and continuous, you can solve f(x) = y for x by successively narrowing an interval [a, b] where f(a) <= y <= f(b) (or vice versa for decreasing functions). In the case that the range of f spans the entire real numbers, the initial range can be determined as the smallest range [-2^k, 2^k] where k is an integer (a strategy often used for open-ended binary search).
So if Google drops Android on its own phones for a new OS and discontinues Android development, will it be better off? It seems at this point sustaining Android for other manufacturers is just a headache for them.
They prefer the former, but the latter means FB is by no means imploding (losing users).

What crisis would be so large that the US would be unable to keep up with it's repayments? Especially when you consider that it can borrow more to repay current debt instruments i.e. issue more Treasury bills, notes and bonds.

Plus other countries always need to borrow dollars because it's what oil is sold in, which is one of the things that makes US Government debt considered the baseline or "risk-free" investment, with any other investment having increased risk, and accordingly increased reward.

The problem with hacker news and social media in general is that "real" news is targeting it for clicks and views. Bloomberg, nytimes, washingtonpost and almost everyone else have social media teams dedicated to spreading their articles on social media. If anyone else was doing it, we'd call it spam.

Even worse, hackernews gives these organizations favorable treatment and privileges where they can get away with it. Can you imagine what would happen if foxnews spammed HN everyday?

The only saving grace for HN is that HN is so small that it is an afterthought for these spammers. The real problem is in reddit, facebook, twitter or larger social media. That's why those platforms are so toxic. It's overrun with news media employees and spammed content.
The reason this is posted on HN is because Google doesn't seem to understand this query. Google comes up with entries such as "The 25 most affordable Engineering schools" or "The 50 best Engineering degree programs". If the cheapest "value" on these lists is around $12,000/yr, then that might be considered affordable by some people -- but I'm looking for the absolute cheapest. Please post if you know of an EE program in the U.S. or elsewhere that costs less than $12K/yr. I'm guessing people are afraid to post, because their answer might turn out to be "incorrect" by virtue of other posters posting yet cheaper alternatives. But please post! No answer is wrong for this! I'm just curious what the options are...

I think the author also fails to mention techniques for detecting account hijacking - Facebook and google for example both look at IP addresses and user agent strings, probably along with other factors, to detect unusual account activity.

I think it would be amazing if gitlab had a visual editor for one time runs. Like, "rerun this one step in the pipeline as if this was this new yaml".

Assuming the future is known, there is no risk and therefor need to take an insurance. It's better to keep the money and remove the insurance admin overhead.
