This is one of the least wasteful things they do. The cuttings are recycled, and aluminum is one of the few materials that is more energy efficient to recycle than to mine/manufacture from scratch.
I've used tinder/bumble since their inception, even had 3 long(ish) relationships form. I think the value the apps bring is connecting people who would never meet irl (i.e many degrees of social separation). I don't like the idea of only connecting friends of friends, it promotes insular social circles, harder for bigger cities to become open when everyone stays in their cliche. I feel this becoming more of a thing with social media, people are losing the ability to branch out.

Like others have already commented, the apps also put females on a pedestal to a ridiculous degree. I'm (barely) in the range of "top" males and even getting a lot of matches (~10-20 a day), the number of girls who are open and willing to create a genuine connection (on the app) is approaching 1 in 100.
Shameless plug, but I think the new math that underlies global consistency is super interesting, I did a webcast with Professor Daniel Abadi about how Google Spanner differs from FaunaDB (my employer, which doesn’t require atomic clocks), you can get a link to the recording here https://www2.fauna.com/wcspannercalvin
Is Cloudflare effectively a super large HAProxy instance? I've always wondered how they are able to absorb so much traffic.
Ah, got it. We've discussed exactly this (within Google) with some of the Kubernetes maintainers who have similar wishes to yourself. The most immediate z-pages related work is focused on making them better in the more general case, as they're extremely barebones at the moment and are specific to each language's library. After that we'll explore the native Kubernetes integrations that you're asking for.

It'll come, but it's going to take some time.
I feel silly, but thank you for the polite explanation of what is now obvious.
Ultimately, the point is the pursuit of the truth.

The postulates are that we are blind, fallible, and prone to "cargo-culting". So, in that setting, the preliminary step for any inquisitive mind should be to make space for the truth to emerge.

Hopefully, if you labor the intellectual land, ruthlessly digging deep, much deeper than you would normally do, then you might find important truths trapped beneath concepts and ideas which no one questions. As it turns out, it seem that important truth hide behind simple but devastating lies. More generally, Thiel calls these truths secrets, I much prefer the term treasures, or even things that were hidden since the foundation of the world if I'm in a biblical or Girardian mood.

In the context of technology and entrepreneurship, the postulate is that business leverage these secrets are the best kind. That is the whole argument that Thiel very eloquently lays out in his book From Zero To One.

But because critical inquiry is not something that comes naturally to most people, you need to train yourself and condition your brain to be effective at it. That is, control the mind's natural inclination to reject what goes against the doxa. The first step toward this is of course to be generous with odd ideas, and then grooming yourself to put your own beliefs in danger. It is an exercise in self-deconstruction and discipline. What belief makes you uncomfortable? Why? Keep pushing until your mind collapse under its own contradiction, until you have toppled every single of the foundations which hold up the larger edifice - if you are familiar with Cartesian doubt, that is exactly what I am talking about, only more violent.

When people discuss about contrarian thinking, they immediately think of controversial ideologies and political stances. In fact, I think these are some of the least interesting spaces to explore. I am much more excited about critical inquiries that lead to insights that people are, at first, indifferent to. They grow very deep and are most fruitful.
Zion Canyon is already off limits to personal vehicles much of the year. Busses have been running for the last 18 years.

In the peak season there can be a multi hour wait and the nearby town is also constrained by the canyon and there is no more places to put in parking lots.

I don't really think there is an option besides limiting daily visitors.
That is basically how campsites in crowded national parks operate. I'm ok with it.
I don't understand how anyone could feel this way. Pink Lady and Honeycrisp are so much better than Red Delicious they may as well not even be the same fruit. I'll never eat a Red Delicious again.
I suspect so, since this kind of thing becomes more frequent as you go back in time. I think that's the same story for why some two-character words seem to have backwards word-ording, e.g. 日本に滞在する vs 在日する, or 米国へ渡る vs 渡米する.

I've also noticed that readings seem to become more liberal in general. These days we tend to think of kanji having rigid associations to readings; however, you'll sometimes see some characters replacing semantically similar ones, despite the readings being different.

I also suspect this flexibility is how Japanese acquired such a complicated mapping between it's written and spoken forms.

Blah, blah blah. You get me on this subject and I can ramble endlessly. :)
In the extreme, two successive trades, where the first gains 110% and the second loses 100%, “average” out to a 5% return. However, you don’t want to make that pair of trades.
Here's the bottom line for anyone who doesn't want to read the whole article.

> Using a commercially available 28-nanometer ASIC process technology, we have profiled (8, 1, 5, 5, 7) log ELMA as 0.96x the power of int8/32 multiply-add for a standalone processing element (PE).

> Extended to 16 bits this method uses 0.59x the power and 0.68x the area of IEEE 754 half-precision FMA

In other words, interesting but not earth shattering. Great to see people working in this area though!

yep.
They’re not lying, they’re just attributing a sales call as a cause to some effect they only started paying attention to after the call, or they do get shaken down by a third party who targets them. Try registering a domain, your phone number on the Whois info, and the search rank shakedowns from scummy SEO services will start rolling in, calling themselves variations of “Google Search Advisors” threatening your site’s placement unless you pay. Some folks actually believe these calls are from google, and I’d expect people who own restaurants are targeted similarly, are much less techie and much less accustomed to these scams.

Then there’s also the effect of people not paying attention to their ratings in an objective way and immediately after the call start attributing any event that follows to the call.

And then of course there are folks who get a sales call after their first few reviews, as their business is picking up, and as that volume picks up some more critical folks show up and organically give negative reviews.

I don’t consider a blog post about someone who’s relaying something they say they heard from their friends to be evidence. I’d believe it if they collected data both before and after the call in an objective and consistent way.
For a while there was a whole cottage-industry around articles that took a shit on the existence of Comic Sans. Now there is a whole growing industry of articles that defend it. Do we really need either type of article?

> "Convey textual information" is not the sole purpose of any website.

It doesn't have to be the sole purpose of any website for it to be the primary purpose of many.

For instance the purpose of this forum, along with many forums, is to convey primarily textual information in the form of comments arranged in a hierarchy.

The purpose of medium.com is to convey textual information in the form of blog posts.

The purpose of a site like Wired, newspaper sites and magazine sites, like their analog counterparts, is to convey textual information (albeit with a heavy graphical element) in the form of articles.

Websites expand upon the possibilities inherent to the medium of the printed page but HTML is a hypertext format, and its purpose (and therefore the purpose of most webpages) is to convey information in the form of hypertext. Interactivity and embedded elements don't detract from the textual nature of the web or its origin in concept or the relationship in the styles evolved with the printed page.

>Completely different to any book.

Different in structure, but not different in purpose, and therefore not completely divorced from the same design considerations.

Yes, we could design every website to look the way the redesigns in the article do, but would you really rather use the hacker news redesign presented in the article than this one? Would you rather use any of those redesigns?

For me, frustration was from software forcing the form factor (fighting or disallowing pinch-to-zoom, forcing precise ratios like 2/3 of the screen, etc.). And heck, just the fact that 10 years later we still have a grid of icons on the primary screen that can’t occupy extra space and are awkward to arrange.

An iPad works well when you can do whatever you want with it. If I can briefly zoom “beyond” the screen with my fingers, etc. it’s incredible. Obviously it’s great for tasks that are naturally bound to fingers, like drawing circles.

Apple is really far behind on software though. I won’t even say a year...I’m thinking we are five more years away from a well-thought-out tablet.

It’s a curse if you were a small orchard happily growing another apple variety. No one wants your apples anymore so you have to rip out all your trees an plant new one. (Side note: Really you’re grafting new branches.) That’s a lot of capital investment for a family business that might have been eeking along already.

And, as the article says, who knows when you’ll need to switch to the next variety.
Good.

Oh, sorry; I’m just a doctor. Maybe I should stay in my lane?
That's very odd. At one point on my life I spent about a year working from home, single, without friends in real life. The psychological damage I've caused myself was very obvious.

If solitude makes you happy it takes very little effort to isolate yourself.
To use an argument that has a chance to convince even you (i. e. to appeal to naked greed, opportunism, and selfishness):

If you were to actually get your wish, you would arrive at a pretty accurate remake of Europe around the 18th or 19th century[0]. Only with money being passed down from generation to generation, not land of title of nobility.

Many of those who didn't quite appreciate the genius and efficiency of this God-given system left Europe in those times to seek their luck in...America!

That wouldn't quite work today, what with no more continents available for settlers, not even those willing to ignore a few existing people already living there.

Which brings us to the second great idea some European at that time had, the guillotine...

0: Not saying that national parks alone would do this. There are actually far more resources that people like you thankfully don't even recognize as escapees from capitalism, to varying degrees. Among those are police protection, basic education, the right to use even crowded sidewalks, clean air and water, etc.
Nothing has changed. The site guideline has been this way for years: Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait. (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) You broke the guideline so we reverted the title. That's standard moderation. Perhaps you noticed it more because it was your submission?

When people extrapolate figures the way you did when rewriting a title, they often (usually?) get it wrong and make a claim that isn't supported by the article, or emphasize something that the article doesn't emphasize. On HN we try to let the content speak for itself. If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's great, but you should do it in the comments, on a level playing field with other users.

Other users pointed out a legit reason not to use the article title: "fertility rate" is misleading. In that case we look for an alternative in the article itself. The subtitle was usable; that's common. If not, you can look for a good phrase in the opening paragraph, or possibly a photo caption. Occasionally it's necessary to dig something out of the middle of the text. But there's almost always an accurate and neutral phrase somewhere in the content that can serve as a title. When we change a title on HN, that's our search path for finding a different one. We avoid making up our own language as much as possible.
> compared censorship there to the “right to be forgotten” law in the European Union, which can force Google to delete data it holds on people who don’t want the information showing up in search results.

You see? Forcing us (google) to delete data is literally the same as surveillance capitalism that sends dissent to gulags. I literally can’t tell the difference between the two.

>But I do trust my democratically elected government to some extent. At least, I trust it more that the companies GDPR is supposed to protect me from.

Stasi operated in Germany just a few decades ago. Romania had Ceaușescu. But no, it's the evil corporations that are dangerous. The governments would never abuse human rights or anything like that.
Easily. One modern core can route 10 Gbps or more using efficient software like VPP.

Well, the federal government decided to extend a $70K line of credit to 18 year olds, and university administrators aren’t going to miss a chance to exploit the naïveté of these vulnerable young people. So it’s not a matter of whether or not we should fleece our students, but how long will we allow university administrators to get away with it (Note that none of this is particular to private universities, public universities are every bit as bad).
Spending all day on a farm picking fruit is not my idea of fun, but I'm glad that there are people (from other countries) who are excited to come here and do it. I certainly enjoy the fruits of their labour. The same goes for waiters, cleaners, cooks, etc.
I can see where you’re coming from. My armchair hypothesis is that people aren’t being taught how to have healthy long term monogamous relationships and why being in one (a healthy ltmr) can be so amazing. I won’t speculate on the cause, beyond suggesting that there is a negatively correlated social trend (based on no actual data) that seems like a logical inference.

This hypothetical situation implies that it is much less likely for people to find another party interested in teaming up. Luckily if both sides: know how to identify a healthy ltmr, know how to & will participate in a healthy ltmr, will keep testing partners until a healthy ltmr is formed, and are balanced population size (and more), everyone interested and capable will end up in a healthy ltmr. The regressions in this scenario are longer expected time to relationship and the emotional cost of testing potential partners. (Probably significant enough to address).

Based on the above scenario actionable advice is to do one’s best to satisfy the assumptions, weather the regression costs, and try to optimize your strategy to minimize the costs (becareful not to become a bad actor/violate the assumptions).

This scenario & strategy is likely full of holes, but maybe it can provide hope that there is a strategy that offers a high success rate.
"What the group considers to be dickish WILL change. Even if a group agrees now, all groups change over time (even if the members stay the same their environment definitely doesn’t)."

It's interesting how we adapt our sense of normal based on consensus even within the smallest of groups. If you have a team of 5, and 2 are replaced, the dynamic for the remaining 3 changes based not only on how they individually interact with the new people but also with how the incumbents as a whole interact with the new people.

If A,B,C interact with D,E. Then A's relationship with D also depends on the interactions between BD, BE, CD, and CE
In many systems "deleting" your account just means turning on a flag in your profile. Plus there is the issue of deleted accounts information previously existing in backups.

It seems like once we give any data to any company/entity/organization in this age that it will likely be around, somewhere, forever :(

Sensationalist much? And that too coming from a guy who worked for a company who is bending over backwards(Zuck on board for Tsinghua Univ, asking Chinese president to name his baby etc).

If not for China, there's no room for growth in traditional markets anymore. Yeah, there's Africa, South East Asia, but Google and FB already are putting on big efforts there. So whether you like it or not, if you want a billion users right away, you have to make a compromise. Apple did it, why not Google?
The link is dead. Anyone can tell what are the changes?
I dislike "beautiful" as a description because it means different things to different people. I've seen a similar, narrower claim before:

> Easy-to-change code tends to be changed. Hard-to-change code tends to endure. Thus, a codebase tends to become harder to change over time.

I can't recall exactly where I saw that version, but I like it better. It's more clear what it means and why it's true.

They were also very good with geographical data (Oracle Spatial). Now PostGIS is as good if not better.

We have a lot of applications running on Oracle databases at my company, and therefore a lot of Oracle DBAs.

Now they prefer MariaDB or PostgreSQL for most new projects because Oracle has become too aggressive with their business practices, pricing and audits.

But now the DBAs must learn PostgreSQL and that requires some non trivial effort on their part to become as proficient as they were with Oracle.
Get em hooked then when they become dependent you take it away.

It's interesting they chose flavored cigarettes and not flavored alcohol. The attack specifically on menthol is meant to target the major users of the product. Its not about the kids. And its not about righting some wrong by cigarettes advertisers. This is meant to target the people who use the product.

You're going to run into many situations where there is a disagreement about a technical decision throughout your career. Take this as an opportunity to practice selling your ideas. Provide concrete examples and time savings, show that it's industry standard, etc. If it doesn't work, it's also good practice for accepting that sometimes things won't go the way you think is best.
Why on earth there is supposed to be even a correlation between so-called past and future (bullshitting as a business aside)?

It is like predicting Trump by Nickson or, even better - predicting a next Trump.
If you want to see something closer to "absolutely democratic", look e.g. at British Columbia, where all provincial parks are free to enter. They still have a permit system and fees, but only for overnight camping; if you just want to come and walk and enjoy the surroundings during the day, it costs nothing.

Curiously, the provincial govt tried to introduce an access fee a few years ago, and there was a huge pushback from the citizenry.
Can you expound on the data modeling they missed out on? Is the UML code generator a bad way to go in your opinion or did they just not do due diligence with data modeling?

(Asking because I'm starting a new data-heavy project and I'm considering generating code from UML.)
What's the downside? For every poor person that can't go, a rich person can go in their place. So we get equally many people enjoying the parks. Unless a poor person is more worthy to you, I don't see what the big deal is.
For those of us without a NYT account, one part I found interesting from the WSJ report on the topic was their carefulness regarding pulling the trigger prematurely. While the FDA is trying to decrease the attractiveness of menthol, they’re strategically playing a sympathetic long term game with smokers.

As they and everyone knows, quiting smoking is a difficult task and suddenly prohibiting many peoples go-to fix would be cruel and possibly cause more harm than good.

>FDA officials—who want to curb use among youth while still encouraging adult cigarette smokers to switch to less harmful products like e-cigarettes—decided not to restrict sales of mint and menthol e-cigarettes because they didn’t want to create a situation in which cigarettes were more attractive to smokers who prefer menthol, senior agency officials said.

Think of it in terms of monoculture with all the attendant problems.

I'm from Minnesota but have lived recently in a neighboring state. There is a very popular orchard near where we live. Part of its appeal has been the variety of apple varieties they had. Too many heirlooms to list, along with modern varieties such as honeycrisp. A few years ago I noticed the new owners (the old one retired because of age) were ripping out many of the heirloom varieties and replacing them with honeycrisp. This had been going on but accelerated. When I talked to them, they basically explained that the other varieties were popular, but honeycrisp brought in much more money and was in very high demand.

I think honeycrisp is a great apple, but there are many many great apple varieties, and I get frustrated by the focus on honeycrisp in particular. There's nothing wrong with supplying what's in demand, but I do have a problem with demand being sooo hyperfocused. People get so obsessed with one variety, and then a little later move on to the next big thing.

People become obsessed with honeycrisp, growers rip out other varieties, breed honeycrisp-tasting new varieties, then people get sick of it because it's all honeycrisp, honeycrisp, honeycrisp. They want something different, and then it all happens over again.

People want what they want, I suppose, but to me it seems pretty fickle and destructive.
Wow! It's kind of a wierd feeling to see some research I worked on get some traction in the real world!! The ELMA lookup problem for 32 bit could be fixed by using the posit standard, which just has "simple" adders for the section past the golomb encoded section, though you may have to worry about spending transistors on the barrel shifter.
