> Why would you want dating and current and previous partners integrated with the entire rest of your social life?

I mean, isn't your dating already integrated with a lot of your social life? That's part of why breakups are tough, no?

Making a comment on the product, it makes sense to me since it mimics how things work in real life. A lot of people meet their significant other through friends and given your social sphere.
This is such an incredibly irritating feature. Fwiw, if you're logged in, you can turn it off with an account preference toggle.
Fwiw, we've benchmarked on Raspberry Pis with slow SDcards. You want to talk about low RAM situations and slow I/Os. The reality is still the same though - every other DB engine is many times slower under the same conditions.

Even when the DB is 5x or 50x larger than RAM...

How much does Robinhood make in rebates?

Robinhood earns ~$0.00026 in rebates per dollar traded. That means if you buy a stock for $100.00, Robinhood earns 2.6 cents from the market maker. Other brokerages earn rebates and charge you a per-trade commission fee on top of this.
There’s more to it than the components. For instance;

- manufacturing.

- packaging.

- margin.

- profit.

- tax.

- warehousing.

- dev.

- r&d.

- marketing.

- distribution.

- stores.

- licensing.

- logistics.

Probably more. They all have a cost.
> Can't have it both ways

Yes one can. One can simply exempt the law's application to certain people, e.g. the fourth estate. GDPR does that. The problem, here, is the government is judge, jury and executioner.
Maybe not the "nut" letters, which are frequently very nutty, but random letters can.

Its an implication of the target market, and it goes hand in hand with facebook itself: if you’re looking for casual hookups, you probably dont want to be openly exposed to friends/family. But if you’re doing something far more wholesome, like looking for a full relationship, then its perfectly fine for friends/family to be aware. And facebook hosting a dating app would be totally unnotable if there was no chance to for friends/family to find out: the whole point is that fb can filter onto your friends, and friends of friends, and so on, to naturally limit your possible matches to something far better than “kind of close to you”.

The friend-links allow you to verify the target human yourself (ask your chain how they are), it limits misbehavior (you’re sending dick picks to your friend’s best friend, not a random stranger), you’re naturally liklier to share a social circle or taste or whatever (you’re friends with the intermediate person for some reason).

So it has to be marketed and tuned towards something that is palatable to your broader social circle, because they are, more likely than not, going to find out.

And while you might accept casual dating, and people often don’t care, its still a broadly negative thing to be going around with. The general expectation (at least in the us) is that eventually you’ll stop, and have a serious relationship, and you don’t really go around showing off your casual relationships (at best, you pretend externally that its possibly serious until the day you break it up), and you certainly dont go around telling people you’re currently looking for a fuckbuddy (and your friend might be the one!), at least not directly, and certainly not broadly.

You don’t want to find your teacher on tinder/grindr, and you really don’t want to find your friends on it. (As always, in general, and especially post-teenage, and a US opinion)
Birth rate. I don't know why this article is using fertility here.
I disagree with your assertion that "Strongly connecting dating with IRL identity is basically mandatory for safety."

Strongly connecting anything with your IRL identity is a recipe for doxxing and stalking.

I think Facebook's biggest challenge with their dating platform will be convincing women that they will both get good matches and be able to stay safe on the platform.
> if you’re trading hundreds or thousands of shares at a time, you’re better off elsewhere

Exactly. Any price improvement other brokerages can offer should be considered net of their fees. Because flat fees per trade are regressive, smaller investors are better off on Robinhood.
Well, yes, you actually can. Which is why exemptions exist to most regulations. Like, as the other commenter specified, exemptions to journalistic data for the GDPR.
I didn't even know about informed delivery until now. Cool feature.
Seriously, If you want to be a journalist reporting about own government corruption. Storing the data inside the local country is the worst option.

Why nobody thought about that?
Well the 1950's were the post-WWII baby boom, as well as coinciding with the start of the green revolution. Not surprising that birth rates are going to fall off now, given how over-populated the Earth is.

There is a theory that says that everytime somebody is close to understanding the structure and mechanics of the universe, the universe would immediately be replaced by something even more strange and incomprehensible. Another theory says this already has happened several times.

This would explain both our progress in physics and the strangeness of QM, and give credence to the idea that we are in a simulation.

I think we'd be fine with private security for many cases where one can possibly hire private security today. Events or locations where lots of people are present (concerts, train stations) or places where service is so terrible you need a cop on hand to scare people into not flipping out(city hall, DMV) should probably use private security.

Having a security company to sue or to not hire next time corrects the lack of incentive to not be jerks that a lot of police departments seem to lack. The publicly funded police should do more investigating and less patrolling/standing around.
Why not? You're claiming that this is a binary choice without explaining why.
Your last statement is false for a variety of reasons:

1.) with sufficient research and decrease in cost, we can make it so that electric vehicles can be "refilled" as quickly as fossil fuel vehicles.

2.) for 99% of trips, having 200 miles or more of range is sufficient. across the aggregate of all trips made, it's very rare that people drive more than 200 miles without out a stop of a few hours in between. For those edge cases where people go on long haul trips, you can either elect to have a bigger battery or invest in dc fast charging.

3.) if you are optimizing for times of natural disasters, grid failures, or scheduled/rolling blackouts I would actually pick an electric vehicle. How can you fill up your fossil fuel vehicle when the infrastructure to harvest crude oil, refine it, distribute it, hold it, and sell it has been knocked out? it's easy to forget the massive massive logistics chain that goes into getting you a single gallon of gas. Whereas, I can throw up some solar panels on my home with a battery and have an renewable fuel source completely independent of everything else that is good for hundreds of thousands of miles. Fossil fuel just seems more viable because there is more infrastructure that has been built over time, but that can easily be disrupted. Whereas you could set up a windmill in the middle of nowhere connected to a battery pack that is collecting energy for electric cars that barely needs any maintenance. You're falling into the trap of assuming fossil fuel is "easier" because we have put so much effort behind it over the last 100 years. When in fact fossil fuels is an extremely difficult and disruptable energy distribution system.
Overpopulation is a myth

Edit: People are asking for proof of this. Unfortunately, I can't prove a negative. It's impossible. I will say this, though:

There is a long history of people claiming that overpopulation will happen, resulting in mass starvation and shortages across the globe. It never happened.

If you predict overpopulation will happen, then name a number. Whether it be global population or the a year in the future, make an estimate. We'll see if you fair better than those in the past.
It might help to demand in writing that there is no risk. Of course, they would never do that, so likely would just give the shots. Ensure they know that all your friends, lawyers and insurance company will be advised of the doctors decision to not inoculate.
Maybe it's be but I started to think that post WWII inventions have causes a drop in sperm count or something...and than read that people want to have less kids.
Yeah it's not an AGI, but I think the response was more that DL isn't necessarily limited to automating tasks that are easy for humans but hard for machines without DL (which I think was your original statement).

DL could potentially do a better job by recognizing patterns in the dataset that lead towards winning (making more money) that humans might miss. Like how AlphaZero can recognize moves in Go or Chess that humans don't understand are the best moves to make.

It's not obvious to me how this would be done, but I think it's plausible that some clever implementation could help.

Show HN: Tether Indicative Price (TIP)
The price of Tether on coinmarketcap has become at times extremely skewed versus the fair value observed in the market. Thus we present a tether price index which attempts to represent the realistic fair value of USD/USDT as witnessed across the global market as a whole. It is our hope that this index will provide a valuable pricing signal as an alternative to cmc or the relatively illiquid USD/USDT markets that exist on Kraken and Bittrex.

The Tether Indicative Price (TIP) is an index produced at 1-minute intervals by sampling the price of Bitcoin and Ether against USD and USDT across some of the biggest exchanges. For exchanges that use USD, we calculate a price for BTC and ETH weighted by the respective trading volume at each exchange (the more volume an exchange trades, the more weight is given to its current price). The same process is repeated for USDT based exchanges. The TIP is then derived from dividing the weighted USD prices by their USDT counterparts. Currently, 2/3 weight is given to USDT prices derived from BTC, and 1/3 weight to USDT prices derived from ETH. This blend is then taken as the current value of the TIP.

The article says that pushing a new lamda@edge function takes 30 minutes. That has not been my experience. I routinely push lambda@edge versions from the AWS console and the new versions typically run within a minute or so. Have others seen anything like a 30 minute propagation delay?
Yes. Particularly because we "assort" by phenotype (appearance.) We are more attracted to those who look like us, even if illness has affected our appearance. (For example a genetic collagen disorder.) What may be one of two similar illnesses being inherited (most of the time) is mistaken for one illness being dominantly inherited. for example.
So I read up on this. If FB Dating is almost a separate network (you have to opt-in) then what's the point?

Given the profile example, it seems hard to be somewhat pseudonymous... I could probably look that person up as a 2nd - 3rd order connection on FB or e.g. Linkedin.

I don't see a draw to this app.
Man. They just bought NoWait too, which was an awesome service. I hope they don't drag it down with them into the abyss.

Strong correlation.

This is correct in my experience. The letter says you have to confirm with the code, but either without doing that you keep getting the emails with scanned images.
I think it is fun stuff, and it was one of the plot points in Heinlen's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", but the execution is still a bit off.

It gets really wild when you can generatively create a movie just from the screenplay description and perhaps a set of storyboards. That will make the amount of crap video available explode uncontrollably.

> Google might be able to create a such directory based solely on traffic and AI identification of the type of business? Could AI identify long lines outside of restaurants?

Google already does plenty of stuff like this, and has for years (including historical and live busyness). Hell, I haven't used Yelp in years, because their app is generally less usable, isn't integrated with Maps (for directions etc), and cripples mobile web by not letting you see most of the content. Though it's possible that the data for G Maps is only comparably rich because of my location, and that Yelp has a data advantage in many more markets.
I don't understand. Bots aren't that big of a deal, and it's not unlike encountering a woman who doesn't want to meet up: you find out very quickly and you move on.

Until bots are going on dates and sleeping with you, I don't see how online dating is "powered by bots." You glaze over them the same way you ignore a spam post on a forum.
I'm also a bit confused by the use of a Facebook post to disseminate this information.
The nuke plant can charge you double... except if you can import power. At that point, the problem nuclear runs into is that coal/gas is more adapted to fluctuating demand.

So nuclear has to face excess production from wind/solar exported by e.g. Germany at times, and can't make up for it when wind/sun is offline, because the germans then adapt with gas. That is kind of a bad situation if you optimize for co2.

Also power walls are not a scalable solution. The raw ressource just isn't there for it to happen.
My entire social life lives in Facebook Messenger. Maybe Messenger is dead in your social circle, but certainly not in mine. The Wall is dead though.

Bootstrap, b/c of bootsnipp code snippets, large community, common-ground and stackoverflow answers. I would consider using tailwinds (b/c its a functional CSS framework). If there is a strongly coupled CSS framework mixed in with React,Vue, etc - such as material UI, that's another thing I'd use. I would not consider any other frameworks, except as a one-off project.

For simple vanilla/ solo projects, I would rather roll with my own custom CSS. B/c I like the full granularity control over everything, without the bloat.

But doing this everytime is repetitive. So I started rolling out my own minimalistic CSS framework yesterday. https://github.com/vincentntang/freshpoint

My goal is the following:

(1) Minimal use of grids / columns system. We have CSS grid support already.

(2) Consistent crossbrowser styling for things like buttons, lists, forms, tables, and everything that's a pain to normally style

(3) One single .scss file you can edit and customize your own version of the framework

(4) Both mobile and desktop first approach mixins. My reasoning is here https://vincentmtang.com/2018/10/27/modular-media-queries-wi...

(5) Simple documentation so anyone can modify their own version

(6) Importing common files such as normalize and mini-resets

(7) Easy to use and import with React if using CSS modules

(8) SMACSS naming methodology and architecture. BEM is overkill for most projects

------------------------------------------------------------------

TL-DR: I don't like the bloat of other CSS frameworks, and I'm strongly opinionated on what I think is best. A good CSS framework should only account for 80% of common use cases, and leave the last 20% for the developer to do on a per-project basis.

Good documentation goes along way, that's the next thing I'm working on.
A line of 20 outside a sit down restaurant that isn't even open means one thing if it's 30 minutes before it opens, another if it's already open. A line of 10 in front of a Boba tea place means something very different than a line of 10 in front of a sit down restaurant.

Busyness wouldn't just be used as a measure of busyness. It could be used as a proxy for other qualities. Another example: There are restaurants that have ample waiting areas and others that have none. Those in the waiting area wouldn't necessarily mean the same thing to a customer's experience than the same people seated at a table. Likewise for people standing outside vs. waiting inside.

At a very basic level, throughput (Little's Law) should also be taken into account.

My point is there would be value in such proxy measures, if some AI were used for interpretation.
COINTELPRO was a program in one, government group acting rogue from a long time ago that got shutdown. The current activities involve every branch of executive government with Congress's blessing.

ECHELON was an unlawful surveillance program that intercepted satellite/radio traffic with a focus on foreign personnel. Patriot Act allowed surveillance of Americans on all mediums with financial penalties or imprisonment for non-compliance with backdoors (see Core Secrets where FBI "compels" companies to "SIGINT-enable" products).

NSA management used to limit what was collected on Americans specifically to avoid trouble with Congress and FISA courts. After 9/11 and Patriot Act, they were told 9/11 couldn't happen again. They're maximizing what they collect on Americans with more cooperation between them and organizations that imprison Americans.

The differences between the isolated cases you pulled out of decades of government and the total, officially-blessed elimination of our rights today is difference between day and night. Hell, a good chunk of America votes in favor of what's in the Patriot Act. They're willing to give up their freedoms for false claims by NSA etc that they'll stop terrorists. I'd have never seen it coming back in school after reading on all the progress activists made before that time.

Also reminds me of The Siege. Mainly, the fact that they'd declare a state of emergency that suspends the bill of rights due to terrorist actions in New York. Which they did. They renew the state of emergency annually, which keeps specific executive orders going.

Concern about overpopulation is an ancient topic. Particularly in China, where they introduced the one-child policy in 1979 which, according to the Chinese government, prevented an additional population growth of about 400 million until it was phased out in 2015.
> Why is so hard to admit that they had some kind of advanced technology that for some reason has been lost?

Well, how advanced exactly are we talking about?
Apple aren't interested in an even playing field, this type of muscling in is possible by design. There's a risk they'll turn developers off their platform, but providing they don't piss off too many at once, barely anyone will notice.
Other important factors:

* Diverse enough to extrapolate findings specific to other communities (e.g. the huge Chinese and South Indian population in urban Canada are still culturally very similar to China and India, despite being in Canada).

* Toothless privacy legislation and enforcement.

* A historic lack of global attention means they will bend over backwards to attract "prestige" projects (see: Sidewalk Labs)
Attribute improvements are adopted when they make broad sense (including economic). The same with color television, or improvements in book printing quality.

Comprehensive macro changes usually only occur when there is a rather extreme inflection point in technology that makes a true leap possible. Something that was previously impossible not only becomes possible, but makes the experience a lot better for the end user. That's why the iPhone approach murdered the old flip phone industry so rapidly, that technology inflection made a lot of new things possible that were very beneficial / desirable to end users. It justified a large macro change, which users had to adjust to.
"Fertility rate" and "birth rate" are related, but used to mean different things.
