I dunno... I find that on most sites which implement infinite scroll, I like it.

Reddit lets me browse stuff without interruption, and it's not like I'm ever going to "go back" to somewhere earlier in the list... which has probably changed in the past 10 minutes anyways.

Shopping sites let me browse hundreds of shoes or shirts without interruption, and again it's not like I'm ever going to bookmark a segment of my search result. Same with Google Images.

It's easy enough to put footer content in the header, or in the About page or something. (How often do you use a footer anyways?)

And if you really need to start somewhere in the middle... usually filtering/sorting is a better approach anyways. E.g. for a blog, it's better to have a link to Jan 2015 articles than have a link to page 9 of posts.

I find myself mildly annoyed when I have to click through to the next page of something.

Obviously there are plenty of sites where it doesn't make sense... but I don't see it there too often since it's usually more work to program. This feels like a non-issue.

And for example, here on HN when there are too many comments it requires me to click "More" to get to page 2. Why not just auto-load them when I reach the bottom instead? If I got that far, it's more likely than not that I want to read more.
My question is what that number has to do with the ability to absorb a loss (either with assets under management or with reservs or with cash flow). To compare: JPMC has something like $2.5T(!) under management, but a market cap of something like $350B.
Neither of those links are proof that the study is invalid. So, once again, proof?

Two of my favorite stories about my life are examples of this kind of thinking.

Once, during the doldrums after the dot com bust when our old firm had gone out of business, I interviewed for a position that was a bit too junior for me, but a reachable step up for a friend of mine. I left the interview, called her, she applied, got the job, and it trained her for the next one.

In grad school, one of my brilliant classmates had an intern offer in hand from a bank, and they were rushing her to accept it. We, but especially my wife, the guidance counselor, urged her to believe in herself and hold out for one of the big tech firms. She did, had two very successful internships at one of the biggies, and now works there full time. She gave us a coffee mug from the firm, I smile every time I see it.
>Yes you can know. It is not like this was the first bad thing Saudis have done under his command.

Depends on how bad you're talking about.

Saudis are not known as people who kill in other countries. They actually have a robust reputation of kidnapping them and bringing them to KSA (and even of the known kidnapped ones, I think all are still alive). Even within the country, they're known more for making people disappear - temporarily. As in family has no idea where the person is - but usually find out about a year later - and the person is usually in prison - not dead.

Saudi Arabia is known for executing dissenters - but not in a shadowy manner. They arrest, they bring serious charges, and then execute publicly. When they do this often enough, there is not much rationale for them to assassinate people in their own country in a hidden way.

I feel that just because we know of many brutish things the Saudis have done in the past, we are extrapolating to things they likely do not do often. The opposite of the halo effect, if you will. I've seen this often, where people conflate the different Middle Eastern countries and attribute the problems in one country to those in the other - without evidence (e.g. believing honor killings are common in Saudi Arabia).

I don't believe this scenario is at all the norm amongst the Saudi government. I could be wrong, and would be happy to be shown otherwise.
It's not a pure logical argument. What you are describing has never been observed though in anyone taking any type of antiretroviral therapy in the now 20+ years of the HAART era. This is a completely unfounded what-if.

The donors you don't want donating are already excluded by existing questions. And if you are that concerned about completely hypothetical unknowns then you might as well also not trust any of the batch testing done on the donors blood anyway. The questions can only ever be a useful prefilter, not a perfect safety net.

> The fact you think Britain has a single NHS doesn't inspire confidence in your level of knowledge

Can you point me to where I say that? You've just killed any potential discussion by arguing in bad faith. Why should I listen to anything you have to say on the subject now that I know your intentions are hostile and that you're not open to debate?
That was also submitted. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18267838
He did not say "Let's reject all this because it is a slippery slope." He is merely alerting people that the slope is slippery.
The event did occur. I saw the source with my own eyes.

The point that you keep on ignoring is that the OP said "companies have to contribute back". One of my points is that they don't even do it though they legally should.

License arguments wasn't the point of my response. The point is that people will abuse goodwill and pretending that it doesn't happen is naive.
Stack Overflow to me is a Read Only resource. Just like Wikipedia.

Trying to contribute is a waste of time as both have been taken over by power tripping mods who have zero interest in furthering the resource and instead gain some form of enjoyment from petty drama and treating users like little kids. The leadership of both seem to have no problem with this, so I search, scrape, and leave, with no account on either and no desire to contribute (despite being someone with endless spare time and a desire to contribute to resources where I can).
Yep, I kinda meant it as an illustration - the heartbeats are just the base operation that has to occur between meshed nodes, not that that itself is generally going to be the issue (the inter-node communication is likely to have a bit more going on than just that!).

Containers is where I've had issues, not necessarily anything drastic, but I've found myself dropping half of the the things I really want from an Erlang system (mainly making as much as possible non-stateful rather than stateful, not using supervision trees to their full potential) to buttress against that ephemeral nature of containers (I haven't really looked at diskless nodes in much detail either though)
It really depends on the person. Also working on the exact same field and industry for 5 years is way different to getting a degree. Also note I said you could start making original contributions, not that they'll be meaningful or groundbreaking...
While I often like infinite scrolling, I really hate it on the Google+ Android app, because I have no way to quickly jump to the top. If I scrolled way down and want to scroll back to the top, I have to scroll manually all the way, which is a pain, or kill the app and restart it.
I think I'd just update the review to also mention the attempted bribe.
These are all uses for Bitcoin, not uses for general blockchain tech, so they're not "additional" uses. But for what it's worth, I think Bitcoin itself is superfluous, being covered almost entirely by:

- Gift cards

- PayPal

- Credit Cards

- Cash / Cashier's Checks / Certified Checks / Money Orders / Wire Transfers

It wasn't at all necessary to build Bitcoin, with its planet-destroying proof of work energy usage, to pay for porn. And besides, the essence of anonymous payments using Bitcoin is the tumbler, not Bitcoin itself (which is super easy to track, precisely because it's got a blockchain).

P.S. If your "leaving Venezuela with your wealth intact" is a "national currencies can be unstable" argument, remember that Bitcoin is extremely unstable and has no system in place to regulate or stabilize it. In fact, because it's often at odds with government monetary policy, there's a base instability that will never go away.
Lazy loading can also break search within page.
This kind of normalized bar graph is the most common way things like SPEC results are reported, although I think that showing one category of bars that's fixed to 1.0 to label what it's being normalized against is more common. (Annoyingly, throughput and latency are both shoved in the same graph, which gives the misleading impression that you're comparing one against the other).
Because then you know it's not on that page. With infinite scroll a negative response doesn't mean it's not on the page.
It has been two months and I still haven't gotten my MBP back. Screen and battery replacement.
I agree, my stats are in line with what I and my family have experienced, and yours are not.

Combine that with multiple agencies such as Health Canada and OECD which have measured wait times an order of magnitude lower than you cited, I am not sure what else to say.
It's the business equivalent of the 'aspiring actor/musician/artist' who never commits to their aspirations for fear of losing them. You can't really fail if you never really try.
There's an Alan Kay video out there, titled something like "How to Invent the Future" (or something close to that). It's in two parts, and it should be available on Youtube. In that video there's a part where he talks about good ways to come up with an idea for a new business. I'd try to describe the process to you, but I really can't do it justice. I'd say go find the videos and watch them and consider giving his approach a shot.

You'll know you're at the bit I'm talking about when he starts talking about the book Human Universals.
Does it really matter, though? Sure, some people might earn some undeserved virtue points -- but why focus on that, when the alternative is for everyone to continue not giving a shit, and nothing to change.

Humans are often inconsistent, irrational, hypocritical, disproportionately sensitive to emotional immediacy vs. scale, and so on. We already know that.

Every successful, large-scale ethical movement is going to have a moment when a bunch of people jump on board the bandwagon for imperfect reasons. That might be annoying, but it's part of the mechanism by which change actually happens.
Why aree you ordering brands off amazon rather than from the brand? You get what you pay for. Good luck on the fraud charge.

Read again. The original posters claim was that the study was funded by foreign money that pushes an agenda, not that it was invalid.

As to the invalidity:

The fact that I have never waited for more than a couple of days for treatment in over 25 years, and neither had anyone I know (with 2 exceptions, both of which were for elective surgery like breast reduction surgery) does imply that, at best, their median measurement is measuring a specific niche, rather than general treatment.

Combine that with the fact that multiple agencies have measures wait times as being an order of magnitude lower than your source, and yes, I do think your numbers are invalid.
Why Global Talent Clusters Around Cities
The problem is that you need to have a conditional to figure out if I is negative or not. With modulo it’s all the same.
Balance is sometimes overrated because most of the expectation about how to be a great professional comes from overzealous 9 to 5 mediocre professionals. That doesn't mean life is about burning out and crashing against a wall of mind wrecks every few years of course, but for many people it's possible to keep let's say a 85% work 15% hobbies, relaxation and workout and society needs those guys at their maximum capacities.
I think it's pretty safe to assume he means stackoverflow.com.
I check Fakespot, and click on some reviewer profiles. The idiots doing full-time positive product reviewing are so easy to spot by their hilarious review history that you start to assume that Amazon doesn’t do anything against them on purpose. They also mainly flock on the crap within a single month or so (but this is one of many Fakespot metrics).

I tried buying a new bicycle light last week and literally every product was crap with fake reviewing. After wasting an hour on this I ended up not buying from Amazon. Rolling out the red carpet for the Chinese crap and counterfeit industry on their platform is likely to become Amazon’s death if they don’t admit their mistake and turn the wheel now.
" What most people want is the inertia provided by Canadian society"

No - most wealthy people moving to Vancouver could care less about Canada really. They want a stable place to live and park their money - and a nice backup passport if things go crazy back home.

They are not economic migrants, i.e. doctors and engineers looking for jobs - they are business owners parking their families and children and money in Vancouver.

Economic migrants go to Toronto for jobs and opportunity.
The pill was already part of HIV trratment, it does nothing to change the effectiveness of HIV tests.

The only unknown would be whether if you are one of the very, very few people that manages to contract HIV while taking prep, your antibody response is different during that initial window.

But: Anyone in that situation is already covered by the questions about recent partners and already is not donating if answering the existing questions in good faith. If they are donating in this situation at all they are already just ignoring the questions.

Our governments have moved to democratic republics, for the most part, but our workplaces are still generally heirarchies and feudalism. I see what he is saying. I see what your point is though, I think. Even in heirarchies, we are supposed to have freedom.

Nobody's stupid enough to believe that one doesn't imply the other.
Actually, when you link up 2 neural networks, or even a neural network and, say, a search algorithm, the neural network rapidly learns to use the external algorithm to do what it was planning to do anyway.

So there is no "beating" a neural network. The reward for having such a search algorithm is simply the ability to put thoughts into your mind. Your mind may still reject them, and if you don't feed it enough relevant data, it will rapidly abandon you.
towupper() works with wide chars, which aren't necessarily 2-bytes. In fact on UNIX-like systems wchar_t tends to be 32 bits and wide chars are usually UCS-4.

Americans love to take the piss of of the old soviet lada, but as an automotive mechanic I think theyre another example of how the soviets really were ahead of their time.

In 2018 most americans just commute in their cars. performance isnt a real concern, but gas mileage and longevity are. most modern compact cars are hardly capable of doing more than merging onto the interstate. And forget about trying to repair them yourself (the Honda Fit requires you to drop the engine to service the plastic fuel filter.)

but the lada could be serviced with a set of rented hand tools and in most cases had ample ground clearance to work without stands. you could rebuild the electric starter with a spool of wire and a few parts from an electronics store. it was never going to beat an american muscle car in the quarter mile, but the lada 1200 made 23 miles per gallon. the 1972 chevy nova of the same era? 14 miles per gallon.
...trend? People have been writing "infinite scroll needs to go" for over five years, most major websites that _used_ to have infinite scroll have gotten rid of it again, so I'm confused where this is suddenly a trend. It certainly feels like a "finally gone" aspect on North American websites.
“Bad actors” doesn’t simply mean money from rulers in the gulf who turn out to be cold blooded killers.

If your knowledge of the House of Saud's crimes start with the death of one reporter, then you really need to do some research. Just look at what constitutes a capital crime in Saudi Arabia. Look at your colleagues and ask how many of them would be jailed or executed?

If you were fine taking money from them a year ago, then I really question what makes one more soul lost special for you? Realpolitik means nothing of substance will be done because we have other enemies and $400/barrel oil would not go over well just as I'm sure this incident too will fade before the next storm.
Have you seen President Trump's vehement support of Saudi Arabia and the crown prince MbS? If I were Kashoggi, i wouldnt go anywhere near the Saudi embassy in Washington DC.

The market value is skewed by the fact that the money is tainted. To put it differently: if real estate wasn't as effective a vehicle for money laundering, prices in places like Vancouver wouldn't have skyrocketed. So while technically people paid "market value", the number is meaningless
You can pursue chargebacks with the credit card as well. I’ve been told that they will eventually banish you if you do it often.
There's probably more to it than that.

With some knowledge of the ordering scheme, you can determine relative locations and route drivers without storing every address on a street. I think it's very easy to imagine a cases where have "1/3" as your street number could cause problems (0.33333333... out of memory) or just dealing with floating point conversion and typing can lead to seemingly random bugs.

Accepting non-integers should be fine, as long as there's no delimiter or reversions to numbers ( e.g.- 321A Main St.), but I could see it being a problem with delimiters. It greatly expands the solution space for recognition tasks.
Is 321 N Main Street: 321 Main St. Unit N or 321 North Main St?
Is 321/A Main St: 321 Main St Unit A, 321-A(ths) Main St, 32 Main St. Unit 1 or A, 3214 Main St (A/4 character recognition failure), 321 Main St (A is escaped by /), 321 AMAIN St., 32 Main St Unit VA.

Where does it switch from a unit number to an address? 321A21B Main St could be read at least a dozen different ways, especially if we allow for recognition errors. Can't we at least agree that a physical building has an integer value and anything inside the building becomes a separate field (Unit, Suite, Floor, Cabana Room, etc)? No one's pumping money into post office modernization and we're not going to see Unicode or Emoji address support, so can't we simply agree on a few rules?
Why your girlfriend left you
Well, I suppose there are two ways to be 'good at processing text'. The first way is to quickly and efficiently let the user do what they want, which is how Python approaches the problem, eg, str[0:len(str)-1] + "'\''". I've only learned python in the last 12 months, and I need access to a lot less documentation than I need in elisp to write that.

The second way is to have a model that is so strong that it is worth the user learning that model (this is a rarer approach, but is more common in the lisp families - Clojure, for example, does this with variables). If elisp has this, it would be a good idea for someone to mention that in the documentation, because I don't recall ever seeing anyone say "Wow! This elisp model of processing text is amazing! I've been doing it wrong my whole life!". I have seen variants of "which is not at all bad, but is very foreign".

I don't know of a best language, but manipulating text strings is the foundation of most web serving. So I'd say that the popular languages for that (python, perl, php, etc) are quite a bit better than elisp at processing text.
You must be thinking about GCC "builtins" because there is no emulation for x86 SIMD intrinsics (ie the things in <immintrin.h>).
The offers on those Facebook groups all seem to ask for amazon profile name before agreeing on the deal, to check your reviewing history. I doubt your proposed scheme would be long-lived.
For other reasons, I don't have a family doctor. All the doctors my insurance will pay for require making appointments >9 months in advance, and I fly so much with work that I can't commit to that type of lead time. Twice I've missed appointments, and both times instead of letting me reschedule the practice informed me that I was no longer allowed with them, and that missing an appointment is considered a big offense.

One day I'll figure it out but at 24 years old it's not a huge deal to me.
Thanks, I'm well aware of Nick and draft. The agency I have done work for charged their clients 10k per month for a/b testing. I don't know what Nick charges, would be interesting to know.
