Instagram's response was: "We do not allow content that promotes or glorifies eating disorders, self harm or suicide and will remove content of this kind"

Instead, they allow this content and display warnings and a help button. The content available is very very graphic, the words go where o is replaced by a noose, explicit self harm cuts and blood, etc.

The issue about the keyboard is notable because it's so unusual for Apple to make a design mistake.

The keyboard on my Dell laptop is garbage but that's the way they always are so nobody bats an eyelid about it.
Yup. A similar thing happened with a training/game called the "N-back" test that allegedly could improve executive function and IQ!

Turned out the test of IQ was Raven's Progressive Matrices and it's never been decisively validated

Game design allows for a rich exploration of design from a philosophical standpoint.

That is, while most games are utilitarian products first(just as most architecture is made to be inhabited and most software is made to be used) the premise of a "game world" or "magic circle" shares something in common with any fiction - that the contents can be decided in a pragmatic fashion, with arbitrary rules.

Most game designs use this power timidly, just reproducing an existing rule set with a new scenario and more product features, but the most engaging stuff aligns all elements towards a coherent concept[0].

And the real tension of game design comes from the negotiation of what the player thinks the game is about(e.g. "what do I do in this game") and what the resulting product actually enables or encourages. Where we recognize "progress" in games it's generally along the lines of shifts from completely symbolic ideas(e.g. lives, score, turn taking) towards fine-grained representations with fast feedback that corresponds to our expectation of reality(texture mapped 3D, immersive VR, physics sims, etc.), but there's a toolbox of symbolic ideas that tends to stick around regardless.

The biggest product that Domino's sells is not pizza. It is a flag that says "Domino's" that is bought by the people who own the franchises. Domino's competitor is not mom&pop pizza. It is McDonalds/Subway/Arbys/etc

So Domino's provides the backend support + marketing + development and for that it gets a hefty fee from whoever attaches Domino's flag to the location.
Re: the exceptions, I think they're all on that cycle, just sitting at step 3 (or borderline 4 in the case of YouTube).
Ignoring all the other problems, like car crashes, urban land-use, infrastructure spending to support them, etc, their emissions alone should be a clear moral issue when talking about cars. When the alternatives (walking, public transit, and bicycling) are orders of magnitude more efficient, it's absolutely a moral issue.

The problem is, is that car orientated cities tend to grow out, rather than densify. So you never get the critical mass, where transit becomes required.
I was looking for someone I knew in college (20 years ago) last night, who has a very common name, and I don't know where they live now. The value of the all-encompassing social network is that I should be able to narrow it down to only a handful of candidates based on their proximity to me in the social graph.
We already have crypto. Now we await utopia, apparently.
Yup. Been using Macs for what seems like half my life, and I agree that around 2015 was "peak Apple". Sad to see, but at least it's motivating me to transition more fully to Linux, which I should have done long ago but the timing seems right now with stability/maturity.

It seems like this repo has existed for over a year and no commits within the past couple days, I'm not sure what the discussion is supposed to be about when there is just a link to a repo.
Off the top of my head, the reason is probably because there just isn't a critical mass of people heading in the other direction that would make financial sense for them to run trains/buses in that direction, not to mention the last mile problem of how to get to your job after you're dropped in the suburban transit center with no public transit available to get you from the transit center to your office.
> I don't believe super-intelligence is possible.

The fact that organizations outperform individuals at many tasks shows that superintelligence is possible. If you can dramatically increase the communication bandwidth of an organization through computerization, you will trivially achieve superintelligence over organizations. Exponential increasing intelligence is not necessary for bad outcomes.
>Does the graduates/nongraduates segment still represent a comparable group of people?

According to this [0] article from 2017 only 33.4% of Americans over the age of 25 have finished their undergraduate education. As such, MOST people are still without undergraduate education, and thus a median American does not have undergrad education. Since middle class should represent a median resident, it would follow that people without undergrad education should be quite solidly in the middle class.

Usually, the packages themselves are not signed with GPG, only the Release file is (containing the hashes of all .deb files). This is actually the default of both Debian and Ubuntu. I never quite understood the reasons behind it... I'd not expect this vuln to happen, though.

I definitely agree, because I use org-mode and gitlab, personally.

However, they are just using the same ruby package that Github uses to render the org-mode to HTML... unfortunately it is far from perfect.

Still, it's MUCH better than the go version in Gogs, so there's that.
I imagine the stance is that Linux is meant to be a backup plan to Microsoft closing things down. WSL keeps you locked in with Microsoft.

It has the benefits of easing someone into Linux so they can migrate to Linux full time.

But it doesn't resolve any of the same problems as "Why support Linux gaming in general?" Because the biggest one is the whole Microsoft thing.
Maybe, but to me, Gitlab's USP is features they offer that Github doesn't (like CI), not price.

I don't work at gitlab but one great avenue is working on large open source rails apps. And gitlab is actually open source. Try to get it up and running and tackle an issue they have.

I agree with the sentiment, but my critique applies so generally that it must be noted: if a command accepts a filename as a parameter, you should absolutely pass it as a parameter rather than `cat` it over stdin.

For example, you can write this pipeline as:

grep '^x' foo.txt \
| sed 's/a/b/g' \
| awk '{print $2}' \
| wc -l > bar.txt

This is by no means scientific, but I've got a LaTeX document open right now. A quick `time` says:

$ time grep 'what' AoC.tex
real 0m0.045s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s

$ time cat AoC.tex | grep what
real 0m0.092s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.047s

Anecdotally, I've witnessed small pipelines that absolutely make sense totally thrash a system because of inappropriate uses of `cat`. When you `cat` a file, the OS must (1) `fork` and `exec`, (2) copy the file to `cat`'s memory, (3) copy the contents of `cat`'s memory to the pipe, and (4) copy the contents of the pipe to `grep`'s memory. That's a whole lot of copying for large files -- especially when the first command grep in the sequence usually performs some major kind of reduction on the input data!

Yeah, an employee fired from my previous employer basically wrote the same negative review on any site that he could. Including the goddamn Yellow Pages. In that review, he alleged several things that were just simply lies.

Yes, I eventually left as well, but I left because there was a better offer from another company that my previous employer couldn't match. They were sad to see me go and it was hard to leave because they were a good group.
The encouragement of the use of credit cards goes hand in hand with "spontaneous purchases" without the money, added interest, and cc debt.

So, it's only tangential in the NRA sense of "guns don't kill people, people do".

Hooking people to using credit cards for payments plays into this whole system.

In Germany and France, for example, the equivalent payment systems are still online, through cards, etc., but they involves debit cards almost exclusively.
Research I have seen suggests we do construct Bayesian prices but we don’t apply them rationally. If people assess that something happens 60% of the time, then in a series of 10 observations they will predict it happening only 6 times.

That is to say, they will bet on the 40% probability outcome 4 times, even though they believe the 60% is more likely each time

I memorize the layout, and solved the puzzle by imagining the grid. Don't use paper at all. The easy puzzles tend to have a certain symmetry that make them not too difficult to memorize.
The main thing I've always heard is that you're supposed to avoid "negative" angles on your wrist when typing. So I have a very thin, flat keyboard that I normally use.

Laptops are a similar concept, but they are raised up enough that my normal typing posture doesn't work that well. With my Inspiron that I have at home, the base of the laptop is thin enough and angled decently that it works out fairly well.

The Thinkpad has a base that is almost an inch thick, and my hand is just the perfect size that the hard edge I referenced is exactly where my wrist bends, which is I think what makes things so uncomfortable when using it.
I'm glad AMD has consistently put in work to keep their drivers available to the Linux community, even if sometimes it's been less than perfect. I really hope that Nvidia eventually also open sources it's drivers.

Ah, but this is the great thing about ILP, including the δILP system in the article- that the "models" are actually logical theories that can be directly inspected (by reading them!) and verified. So we don't have to wonder whether the model learned by the algorithm will generalise outside its training data- we can just check the learned theory.

This is one of the theories learned by the δILP system for the less-than relation between images of numbers, taken from the pdf version of the paper [1]. Using Prolog as the notation (the transformation from the article is trivial):

target:- image2(X), pred1(X).
pred1(X) :- image1(Y), pred2(Y,X).
pred2(X,Y) :- succ(X,Y).
pred2(X,Y) :- pred2(Z,Y), pred2(X,Z).

succ/2 is the successor relation; succ(X,Y) is true when Y = X+1. image1/1 and image2/1 are the numeric values of the compared images as read from the neural net. So the first two clauses of target/0 collect the two compared images' numeric values, then they pass them on to pred2/2, which actually does the comparison. pred2/2 itself is true when one of the following relations holds:

a) Y = X+1
b) Y > Z AND X < Z

Where (b) is equivalent to X < Z < Y. In other words, target/0 is always true when the value of image1 (which is the X in pred2/2) is less than the value of image2 (the Y). It's a bit fiddly to follow because pred1/1 inverts the order of the arguments passed to pred2/2, and because the predicate names don't mean anything, but you can see that's what's going on: the above is as general a definition as is possible to have of the less-than relation.

So, yes, totally, it will generalise to integers with any number of digits.

The learned theory is on page 34.
I grew up near Portage Lakes in NE Ohio. For much of my childhood, the water was a little murky, the seaweed wasn't too thick, and the lakes were pretty harmless (and fun) to swim in.

Sometime around 2001, zebra mussels were accidentally introduced (the common theory I've read is by attaching to a boat that had been docked in Lake Erie prior to being brought back to Portage Lakes). The zebra mussels spread very fast and the lake noticeably changed. The water became much clearer. As a result, more sunlight could penetrate the water, and it could penetrate deeper, so much more seaweed grew.

Personally, I hated them because they made swimming at our local park more dangerous. Their shells are sharp and will cut human feet pretty easily.

That being said, in hindsight they did appear to clean up the water a lot. I wonder if they actually made the lake healthier for humans to swim in and live near as a result?
I'm getting established plants in a container, from a local garden place. Small (2-3 inch) pots, but established.

Yes, your "feed" is populated with answers and questions about products from the people you follow. We give a few people who you can opt to follow when onboarding. Because you can see other users who answered a question asked by someone you follow, and see the question answered by someone you follow, you can be exposed to new users (who you can then follow).

You're more likely to trust user reviews on this site because the reviews are likely to be coming from people who you are connected to in some way.

We haven't been around too long (launched mid-November, have a team of 7: 1 iOS, 2 backend eningeers, and product/marketing/community folks, plus a few contractors), but we'll be rolling out more features to help evaluate the trustworthiness of the reviews that users see.
Related anecdote: I was recently looking at home prices in Chicago, and it seems that people place an enormous value on easy access to the train system. Just eyeballing it, it looked like a house that's less than 1 mile from the nearest train station commands about a $150-$200,000 premium over one that's more than 2 miles from the L.
If got to agree. I can’t recall a pipe ever failing due to unreliability.

One issue I did used to have (before I discovered ‘-o pipefail’[1]) was the annoyance that if an earlier command in a pipeline failed, all the other commands in the pipeline still ran albeit with no data or garbage data being piped to them.

Note that this isn't what's happening here; tokio is explicitly supporting "version N" in your terminology. Which is why your parent is asking why people still seem to be using the "old" version.

(Also, there's a compatibility layer, so even the people that want to play with the shiny new N + 1 can do so, even though it's not explicitly directly supported.)

I think Gitlab is awesome. However, their current homepage hides their actual site (the repositories) and makes it hard as a developer to actually get started compared to Github.

Looking through (browsing repositories) there is almost NO adoption to gitlab.
100% disagree. My older relatives use Facebook to reconnect with old pals and love sharing family pictures and conversing over messenger. It’d be difficult to find them otherwise.

Agreed, a walking commute needs to be reasonably safe. I'm fortunate enough to live and work somewhere that has a few "interesting and beautiful" places along the way, but still, a significant portion of my walk goes through places where armed robberies and property crimes are a common occurrence.
Ask HN: Independent/Remote/Part-time job opportunities for CS/Math graduate?
I have a background in CS and mathematics (former as Bsc, latter as Msc) and was wondering what kind of “flexible” jobs I could get with that.
By “flexible”, I more or less mean satisfying as many of the criteria in the title as possible, ie the kind of thing you can start doing remotely and adapt to your lifestyle.

I'd be interested to hear about the experience of any HNer with this particular background+job combination, even more so if it's not close to programming gigs.

The population of San Francisco itself was actually only about 880,000 as of 2017. The Census Bureau calculated a net 20% increase in SF's daytime population from commuters in 2010[0], so that would bring the number of people up to just over a single million at the lower bound.

I am always amazed at corporate communications that are so inartfully constructed. The two statements "Dyson’s company said the move ... was not driven by Britain’s looming departure from the European Union or tax implications" and "the move was aimed at 'future proofing' Dyson."

As I read it the second statement says "Stuff keeps changing in Britain and we can't be sure its going to be good for our company so we're pulling up stakes." And what has changed recently in Britain, oh I don't know, all the Brexit stuff maybe?

I should have quoted the district court's ruling, which goes more in depth. They weren't convinced that changes to the plantiffs' rating were related to their interactions with Yelp:

> The SAC purports to document fluctuations in plaintiffs’ overall star ratings that apparently correlate with their advertising decisions, but it in actuality only provides select snapshots of plaintiffs’ overall star ratings. [...] Chan’s mixture of positive and negative reviews fluctuated over time irrespective of the activities complained of in the SAC, and in the absence of a more complete picture of Chan’s reviews, the court cannot equate a few drops in overall star ratings to an implied threat of harm from Yelp. These fluctuations could just as easily be the result of planted ads by plaintiffs, the functioning of Yelp’s automated filter, or negative attacks from competitors or former employees.
Not much more details, unfortunately.

What exactly was the error, how long ago has it been done, has the problem been corrected, what did the blacklist say about this person, and did it match reality?

The judgement was probably reasonable, based on my experience with the courts. But there are not enough facts in these 2 articles for us to form a reasonable opinion.
