Quitting isn't a laughable idea. I live in California (SF Bay) and got all of Facebook's companies out of my life in 2017. I had over 2,000 connections there.

Since leaving, my offline social life improved and I'm more productive, because I don't scroll through newsfeeds, waste time chatting online about things that are not related to work, or think about posting anything on Facebook at all.
Wait until you hit the far side of 40.
They do...they're called Democrats. Haha in all seriousness... people who write things like this have no idea what it's like to live poor in general. Or to live in an area where Dollar General is the closest thing for 30 miles. They're not the cause of poverty, they're one of the few stores that will open a business in unserved communities.
Depends on the use case. If the grid's items have varying widths then masonry is the better option. However, for a grid with equal width items, I'll definitely go with magic grid. It's just so much lighter (2.3kb minified) than masonry (23.5kb minified).
This title seems like an exaggeration of what is claimed in the article. In the article, they state that they benchmarked their solver in a biased way that made their solver look like it performed better than it did, not that they faked performance data altogether.
Yes. I deleted my facebook account because I realized that I have not used facebook and posted any comments on it.
These days, there are more useful SNSs a lot, so I think everyone do not have to use facebook.
Although the study 'supports' epigenetics it seems obvious there are other possibilities as well. Abuse effects people mentally. Those effects can be passed on to kids behaviorally.
So in summary, I say I disagree and give my personal reasons for me personally disagreeing, and you give me permission to have them and act on them, and then reiterate what "most" people feel, as if I didn't know that, as if that wasn't the basis for me commenting in the first place.
No, that is the main point. Quantum computers break some forms of asymmetric encryption, but there are "post quantum" protocol that you run on classical computer and neither a quantum nor a classical computer can break them (a conjecture, as usual with complexity theory).

Timely data is available for the US. The fourth National Climate Assessment just released its report on impacts last month (https://nca2018.globalchange.gov).

This “impacts” report is based on the science NCA report from last year, so if you want the science drivers, see that one. For the first time, both reports are highly regionally decomposed (again, across the US).

One example if you want alarming:

“Recent economic analysis finds that under a higher scenario (RCP8.5), it is likely (a 66% probability, which corresponds to the Intermediate-Low to Intermediate sea level rise scenarios) that between $66 billion and $106 billion worth of real estate will be below sea level by 2050; and $238 billion to $507 billion, by 2100.” (https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/chapter/8/)

The report has much, much more.
So there is a gap, there are unserved people (with unspent money), but there is no niche, no market and no economic incentive.
Tangent, but related shameless plug. Especially to San Franciscans: https://theconstituent.net.

I'm wondering how they texture the backside of animated characters?
Requiring people to be responsible for their impact on the world? Incorporating externalities in prices so products are accountable and not subsidized by the public through their health, cleanup, and environmental costs? Clear labeling on the total lifecycle impact of a product? Banning harmful hazardous chemicals with impact lifecycles in the tens of thousands of years?

Is this the dreadful fascism you speak of?

Even the fiercest AnaCap doesn't think products should be intentionally deceptive and lie to the consumer on the assumption collective society will pay for the harm...
Far from exaggeration. In fact CPLEX and Express decided to go nuclear and remove their solvers from the benchmark set, so now we will be in the dark, regarding relative performance

Check out supplementary material [1].

The supplement mentions this about backside texturing:

```
Texturing the back of the body is more difficult, as we have no direct observation of it. One approach is to sim- ply mirror the front texture onto the back. This mirrored- texturing produces reasonable results in some cases (e.g., arms), but undesirable results in others (face appears on the back of the head). To address this problem, we allow the user to choose between mirrored texturing or label-driven texture synthesis – “texture-by-numbers” – on a part-by- part basis.

Cash flow problems compound extremely quickly and a lot of “everyday” stuff ends up hitting this quickly.

If you’re scraping by in normal circumstances and then have any car trouble, you’ll probably end up buying the 6 pack of eggs instead of 12 pack, simply because you can’t afford 12
This feels like what happened to digg.

Reddit did their redesign right. Many people hated it and they gave the option to go to the old reddit immediately after the new version was released.

I don't really understand why you are chiming in to make that observation, but I will note that he stated that he didn't think he was being inconsiderate.

There are lots of different types of handicaps in the world. Some people have social impairments. This often gets labeled Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I have two sons who needed a lot of social stuff explained when they were little. They didn't readily get it.

I think there is a larger learning curve for social things than is generally appreciated. I am a big believer that decent adults are made, not born.

Regardless, people like me have the additional issue that people who would never do something like that to a blind person will still do it to me, not realizing that I'm in genuine danger of being seriously hurt because of their behavior because I sometimes really struggle with seemingly small things.

Getting on and off a bus is also kind of a nerve-wracking production for me. Most other people just step on or off. I cannot do that. I routinely cling to whatever handholds are available. Yet I don't use a cane, walker or other device that would signal to other people that I'm seriously impaired. So sometimes people seem to just find me annoying, presumably not realizing this is actually difficult for me and thus puts me in real danger of falling and ending up potentially seriously injured.
Yes, everything you enumerated is by definition anti individual freedom.
Supposedly psychopaths usually have a history of being on the receiving end of trauma or abuse as a child though, which suggests some possible environmental factors. Doesn’t change your main point but I thought I’d point out that it’s not 100% genetic, and we may be able to reduce psychopathy
I usually use frozen blueberries and chopped nuts, but apple/PB is good too.
I simply "logged out" of Facebook in 2015 and haven't logged back on since. Why not delete? Because I still have people who message on Messenger every once in a while and the effort of asking them to switch to a different service is simply not worth the effort (for me).

Thankfully, Facebook has https://messenger.com where I can log in every 1-2 months to reply to messages I've gotten there (Which are mostly either long lost friends trying to get back in touch or the dreaded "Hey how are you? PS I need a favor" type messages)

Sure, I probably miss out on knowing whats going on in everyone's life, but I think with age (hit my mid 20s), I've leaned more towards cultivating a fixed set of "good, stable, bankable" friends instead of 1500 contacts (which was my FB when I quit), and the quality of life improvement has been massive for me. As they say, FB makes you compare your backreel with everyone's highlights and that has a massive psychological impact. I've gained back hours of time which I used to spend scrolling endlessly on the "infinite" timeline and managed to use large parts of it to do things that truly enrich me.

Fact is that FB has reached a point of "uncool" in the younger generation (I know people 6-7 years younger to me who wouldn't be caught dead on FB simply because it's not cool) and more and more people are moving off of FB, or using it more as a secondary network (again, only applicable for my network), so in many ways, I feel that leaving FB today is much easier than a couple years ago (leaving the FB network of Whatsapp/Instagram as well is a different question).
The price per unit may be higher but for someone with limited cash and no credit, that may still be a better option.
Indeed - that dedication is one of my favorite parts of this whole thing
Well it's almost certainly going to be faster (thumb to save latency) to run the camera in video mode and then snatch a frame when the user hits the button than the normal preview-stillshot way the phone takes pics natively.

Cell phone OEMs differentiate with camera quality and so some run some pretty heavy post processing to make images come out okay.

Snap probably cares more about quickly taking picture and the filters.

The Hanselminutes podcast featured a really interesting episode on Blazor earlier this year:

https://radiopublic.com/hanselminutes-fresh-talk-and-tec-Wzn...

One of the things that surprised me is that Blazor doesn't compile the app code to WASM; it actually runs a WASM build of the CLR in the browser, which is used to interpret regular .NET DLLs sent from the server.
The French just uprose en masse, sometime very violently, against measures said to be good for climate. So it's not just about the Americans.

I lived on $2 a day for a couple of years[0], that was left after rent, bills and tobacco. Tobacco is taxed out the wazoo here in Australia, $30+ a bag. I didn't think about stopping.. As long as you can afford a luxury like that, you have your human dignity. Or something like that. Maybe if a bag of oranges was $35 and tobacco $3, fruit would be the essential luxury..

How does your question relate to publicity at all? Habeas corpus covers that situation, assuming the country you're imagining complies with habeas corpus standards.
This is pretty sad. Unlike databases and other software, MIPS solvers have very good benchmarking standards, and though they don't cover every case, you can typically see which solvers are best for certain types of problems. Having met the Gurobi founders, they genuinely don't seem like they'd do something like this on purpose.

Now Mitellman's only benchmarks for this category will be the slower solvers.
+1 - I recently went looking for a CSS framework (I was still in the “Bootstrap” mindset), and ultimately decided on vanilla CSS grid + flexbox. If anyone is looking for a resource to learn CSS grid, I highly recommend Grid Garden: http://cssgridgarden.com/
I'm also concerned about pinboard. I have a long-time archiving subscription and just recently extended it for the next 5 years. When my bookmarks didn't archive since October, I mailed support. No reply, but now all bookmarks are archived again. I'm not sure if something got fixed, or I just got lucky.

It's obvious that Maciej has put all his attention into political campaigning over the last year - good on him! But the pinboard blog hasn't been updated since 18 months, and the quality of its minimal-by-design service starts eroding.

I really do hope he can clarify here or on his blog what's the future plan for pinboard. I always liked pinboard being very down to earth with the marketing, but that's no excuse for ignoring the paying customer base.
People can't claim powerlessness before they even tried. It's an excuse to not even try.
If you want to scare people you can tell them that Phytoplankton is sensitive to ocean warming and has been declining over the last century [1] (and the situation has not improved since 2010 [2]). On land, plants don't really like global heating either [3]. Together these effects directly threaten not only the food chain, but oxygen supply itself.

If your chance of getting to Mars, landing successfully, then taking off, followed by journey to Earth, then re-entry to Earth is over 50% mortality, then it's a suicide mission.
No. In reality, it's incredibly hard to migrate any database to another database. Even if you have high test coverage, there can be some corner cases bite you later. Hack, simply a version upgrade can have all kinds of problems.
> The next time you visit a Dollar Tree, compare the actual amount that you get for something like flour, oatmeal, detergent... really anything, to the sizes sold at normal stores.

Many financially constrained people have a cash flow problem - they often end up spending more as you said.

However, buying larger quantities is still not an option because the money is simply not there. Being able to plan out a month is a luxury in some ways.
Lower EV prices to $10k with a 250 miles range and refill time below 10 minutes (pretty much the standard european/asian small car) and I'll buy one right now.

The technology just isn't there currently...
I live in what would be considered more urban Iowa. I work in the ISU Research Park [1] for a company doing software development. My brother lives in our hometown and works as an industrial engineer at a plant that makes bio fertilizer and pesticide products [2]. We also have a sock factory in town, which I think is pretty neat [3]. Iowa really has a pretty diverse and thriving economy. It's a good place.

> This is why it's foolish to go up against an ML product from Google, Facebook, or (maybe) Microsoft.

I was sure someone will say this. I think it only applies for advertising, commerce and insurance. When it comes to learning ML models on images, text and games, big corporations don't have a unique trove of data. They only have the data advantage when it comes to personal data.

The more important advantage big corporations have is hiring the best and hiring more ML scientists and engineers. The job demand far outstrips the offer.
That’s not even the worst part of Farnham’s Freehold.
What infrastructure is needed for urban living that is not needed much more for suburban living?
The changes to infrastructure can eventually be carbon positive or at least carbon neutral with improved quality of life. Properly designed cities have less energy consumption and co2 per capita because of economies of scale. Consolidating people encourages that behavior.
Asymmetric multiprocessing. We are using a SOC with Arm processors, DSP's, and FFT hardware. Comm issues inside the chip proved challenging and interesting.
Classic DSP: FFT's, filtering, demodulation.
I went to a Chris Hadfield talk and I'm pretty sure he called it a failure. He may not have said it out right, but it was certainly implied. He said the Russian capsule was a much better design.

Thanks! I haven't yet read "Asimov on Numbers", but I just bought a used copy, I appreciate the recommendation. And I don't have an email list yet specifically for this project, but if I get this book off the ground I'll definitely be sending an email to the list that you can join on the bottom of this page: http://compellingsciencefiction.com/. In any case, I'll post again on HN if anything comes of this.
I travel a lot , make hundreds of connections per year and I don't have a FB account. I quit in 2016. I do use WhatsApp and occasionally Instagram. Quitting FB improved my life and reduced lot of noise. I call my friends more often now rather than just expressing the friendship over a like or comment.
No, see no need to delete it. I don't post anything anymore, but use messenger a lot to keep in contact with a very broad friendcircle, like people I travelled with.

Events are also very important to me. My calendar is synced with Facebook so if I click somewhere on "interested" or "going", it syncs into my schedule.

Lastly, the selling community is big and I sell more on Facebook than on Craigslist.
No thanks. 1:46 was creepy enough!

This is a really cool technique that posing interesting questions about how 3D resources in the future will exist.

Will marketing companies release models and textures like we release different image formats now? Are there grest uses for quickly making video or 3D from a photo. IDK, really cool though.

I'd be very interested in this. There's a lot of decentralized tech that uses nodejs modules which are hard to wrap up in a GUI without Electron. I greatly dislike the resource waste of Electron and have been actively looking for alternatives.
People read what they want to read, but that’s not the Stranger I remember. And you’d have a different conclusion if you read Job to the end. You probably wouldn’t like the book any better, but it’s not remotely what you’re implying.

Edited to add: I realize post-juvenile Heinlein is not to everyone’s taste — and I’m personally convinced Double Star may be his finest single book — but if one is interested — Stranger, Glory Road, Starship Troopers, Moon is a Harsh Mistress, are all worthwhile — and different from each other.

I’m not gonna defend Farnham’s Freehold, but each of the other later Heinlein works not listed above has some merit, though mostly for real fans only.
Probably not any dirtier than it was when it was growing in the dirt. That's why you wash fruits and vegetables before eating them.

Even packaged foods like bagged lettuce can be very dirty (contaminated with E. coli) as well.
Or, if you live in the US, you could lower your lifestyle to European, say an UK citizen. That would cut your CO2 footprint more than in half and buy some precious years to roll out more sustainable technology.

That’s not completely fair... WoW was successful because it was outstandingly polished (no other game was even close at the time) and fun to play.
My intent with "a good passenger rail system" was to respond to your earlier statement "a high speed rail will never benefit most residents", and not focus on "better".

An express limited service in the 1940s did not benefit most residents, compared to a local service, in a similar way to high speed service now.

My example of those two compacts was to show that supra-state organizations can exist with transport goals in mind. As examples of more effective compacts, the Great Lakes Compact.

There is no need for executive authority over participating states. International agreements occur between different countries even without an organization with executive authority over those countries.

Case in point: the Basel tram network provides international service, which started in 1900 with service to the German Empire. Wilhelm II didn't have executive authority over Basel, nor Switzerland over then-Sankt-Ludwig.
This may be a good time to buy Snap. I remember FB being worth $33B some time after going public.
"Did you delete your Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp accounts in 2018?"

Not possible, because I did not have any of these accounts in the first place. And I have a pretty normal social life with lots of technology, friends and activity.

You need motivation to plan. That motivation comes in the form of simulating life and letting you live it. Without risk reward is paltry. Try playing hold'em without bets, it doesn't work. The game devolves into nothing.

The more open world the game is the more popular it tends to be. It lets people satisfy their own particular motivations.

I spent some time playing Rust recently. That game is downright deserving of a psychological study. It is something else to be out harvesting rocks to build a house and get stripped down and robbed by a pack of astonishingly rude 12 year olds who have fully immersed themselves in a 'lord of the flies' mindset.
Actually, I don't think this is strictly speaking accurate. In order to train from those dozens/hundreds of samples, human brain needs to first be developed enough by accumulating experience from billions of samples in related domains. This "pre-training" process literally takes years, and it still does not sufficiently prepare some people for some tasks.
> This article, given the option of describing temperature increases as ... "degrees F", chooses to report them as... "degrees C".

Could it be because every other civilised country on the planet uses the metric system and wouldn't know wtf 3-7 degrees F is?

Which sounds worse: going from 36C to 40C or 97F to 104?
Learning is more general than that, because you can learn by thinking carefully even when feedback is delayed. Likewise, you can learn without practice, for example when you learn why a theorem is true you don't need to repeat the epiphany many times.

The only thing it has in common is the regularity condition because no matter how much you learn, if the system is not possible to predict then there is nothing to learn in the first place.
You can use auto-flow: dense to have the grid backfill gaps. I haven't had much chance to test its limits cross browser yet though but trivial examples have worked for me so far.

It isn't as optimal a layout system as you can get with javascript but generally so long as all elements are at least half the height of other members of a row it doesn't look offensively bad. And there is room for more sophisticated layout algorithms in the future.

And it generally isn't that hard to pad grid items to be multiples of a common height so they can organically fill consistently.
