I think that videos that say kids didn't die in school shootings should not be allowed to make money off of said videos especially when they try to get people riled up to harass the survivors and their parents.

Furthermore I expect Google to apply their policies evenly which they don't. If violations of Google ToS are reported they should be taken care of don't you think.

It isn't like you can actually debate them on their channels either as they delete comments that don't support them the vast majority of time.
...and disabled. I bet the politicians have nice cars though.
> The end result is that the profession makes a lot more money than it does in other countries.

I don't doubt that, but it's worth pointing out that they make good money - as they should - in other places too. My wife has a family friend in Italy, who has a ski house up in the mountains a motorboat on the Po river delta and regularly goes on fancy vacations. And that's as a general practitioner. I think most of us want doctors to be well compensated for the service they perform and would be wary of a system where that's not the case.
>...as in other cities that have converted some streets to pedestrian-only areas...

These "pedestrian-only" zones certainly aren't unique to Oslo. See Drottninggatan[0] in Stockholm, Grafton[1] in Dublin, Strøget[2] in Köpenhamn (Copenhagen), Kärntner Strasse[3] in Vienna, ad infinitum...

I'm nonplussed that this is in any way news-worthy; however, it seems to be an American website, so maybe that's why?

1. Is is better to, say, spend $2mm to remove nonfunctioning buttons, or instead to reduce wait times at the DMV? I think you could make the argument either way; personally, I don't experience much mental anguish about the existence of buttons that might or might not work -- I would rather save the time/money at the DMV, DEQ, filing state taxes, etc. Note that adding signage still costs money and is also only a temporary solution - signs need to be replaced every few years, depending on the initial implementation.

2. If it's overly difficult for handicapped people to press the buttons then they should never have been implemented in the first place. But considering that they exist, if they are difficult to press and pressing is required to cross, isn't that just altogether worse for disabled people than if they are difficult to press but entirely nonfunctioning/nonrequired?
This is an important problem, though certainly hard to solve. Has the author or anyone tried something like this for changing list in parallel (not just changing single values)? Making this work on addition and removal from a collection would be really interesting.

The transaction must enter the system somewhere. The 'coordinator' is that entry point, with a durable log so we don't inadvertently lose the transaction. It's only job is to push the transaction to all the workers involved.
Can you elaborate? As far as I understand it, the difference between the Golden Rule and the Categorical Imperative is acting in ways that don't involve reciprocity. The former is a rule against stabbing other people; the latter is also a rule that people going around stabbing themselves would be a bad idea.
Could you please provide an example? From what specifically have any patents protected users of an open source product? I know plenty of examples when patents were used to harm the users, the most notorious one being Oracle and Java. But I don't remember a single case where users of an open source product were protected from anything with a patent owned by a big for-profit company, would be happy to know a concrete example that shows that this protection outweighs the risk of a company harming open source users.
I had to choose a rich text library for developing a in house editor with custom blocks (latex, interactive activities, images, etc).

I tried ProseMirror for a week and while I think it's super elegant, architecturally speaking, it's very low level and not for the faint of heart. Another factor (which might be a pro or a con depending on your use case) is that ProseMirror is completely agnostic at the view level. This forces you do a lot of stuff unless you find a wrapper like TipTap for Vue.

After trying a couple of options I ended up using Slate. It's for React which means the integration with the view layer is already solved for you. The bad thing about Slate is that it's still a work in progress. For example the project is undergoing a massive rewrite removing immutable.js:

https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/issues/2345

My experience with Slate has been great. I'm much more productive than with ProseMirror, but OTOH I'm not very happy that sometime in the near future I will have to do a big rewrite. It's completely my fault for build something with a unfinished library though.

I think most highly intelligent people can learn concepts that are part of undergrad degrees pretty easily. Let's face it plenty of regular people don't have much issue either. Especially if this lack of minutae was combined with a CV that got them into the interview room for a role that required it in the first place. Gaps in knowledge are about the easiest to fix.
Those aren't placebo buttons, rather for the hard of sight. The audible "Wait" is to tell to not cross yet, and it will then tick when it's safe to cross, and increasingly tick faster the time lowers.
Very hard to quantify this. CFA pass rates have trended down since the 60s, for all three tests [1]. However, it could just be that more people are taking it or less-prepared people are taking it. Also worth noting that things like derivatives, alternatives, and international standards (GIPS, FRA) weren't on the exam in the 60s.

I'm having a harder time finding pass rates for the CPA before 2006. They seem to have gone up a little in that 12 year window 2006-2017 [2]. The tax code has also gotten larger and more complex over the past 50 years, so that is worth noting.

Isn't the TL;DR here that when better alternatives emerge, the worse option can lose? The article seems to be arguing that because Uber/Lyft are often better than public transit, we shouldn't tolerate them, rather than the obvious response: improve public transit.
So, before the fee, there's a certain amount of producer surplus, a certain amount of consumer surplus, and zero Oracle surplus.

After the fee, there's less producer surplus, less consumer surplus, and more Oracle surplus. As a consumer, I don't see which part of the price of the phone goes to the producer (generating metaphysical good) and which part goes to Oracle (generating metaphysical evil). I just see that the phone is worth more than its price by an amount equal to my consumer surplus. My surplus is measured in dollars just like Oracle's surplus.

But it seems that after Oracle imposes the fee, it generates so much Oracle surplus that it could cover the deadweight loss out of its own pocket and leave everyone better off. This is surprising.

I think your comment is mostly correct, but I'm going to try to put it in terms that make more sense to me.

The answer is that the loss of producer/consumer surplus is being calculated incorrectly. Deadweight loss is the triangle described, but the loss of consumer surplus is more than just the consumer-surplus part of the deadweight loss. It also includes the rectangle separating the price the consumer would pay in the absence of the fee, P_e, from the price the consumer does pay, P_f. My mistake isn't that I inverted a sign, it's that I compared the wrong quantities -- I included a benefit to Oracle without accounting for the cost to consumers and producers who are still willing to trade under the new regime. (Where the deadweight loss only includes consumers and producers who were willing to trade under the old regime, but not under the new one.)

(bananamulch and 34624523 both said the same thing I'm saying here.)
besides a lack fo compassion, there is also a systemic effect at play: large numbers of people are being put under (financial) stress at the same time. empathy goes down under stressful situations, so it's eaiser for peers to lack empathy for competitive reasons (claiming a leg up from others' misfortunes). this is the whole "poor whites are the most racist against poor blacks" phenomenon (an induced systemic effect rather than some innate feature of poor white people).

this is not to excuse the lack of empathy--as humans, we should strive to feel for and help our neightbors--but not everyone immediately realizes what's going on, which hampers the ability to recognize the multifaceted situation and appropriately guide themselves through it (having empathy for those who seem to lack it can be wholly beneficial too).

politicians--people who wield power--should be held to a higher standard however. criticism must shape power lest our freedoms be eroded.
My experience couldn’t have been further from yours. Most of the anti-vaxxers I encountered both irl and online were of the kind that is all about natural remedies and distrusting of GMOs and such (as opposed to those distrusting of government and believing in conspiracies; that kind i mostly encountered online only).

Just google for outbreaks in the US that are linked to anti-vaxxing and take a note of their locations. Most will start in heavily left-leaning areas. To clarify my point, I personally believe that anti-vaxxing is about evenly distributed between left and right wing, just for different reasons.

P.S. As I was trying to find an article about an outbreak in Seattle that I remembered from a few years ago, I realized there is another one happening right this moment https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/an-anti-vaccinatio...

In 1910, for 266 years the Qing dynasty had ruled the most populous and, for a substantial period of time, the richest and most sophisticated country in history.

Ideally, you should've deleted your WhatsApp account when Facebook bought it.

But it's not too late to wean yourself off of it and get rid of your account (though you have given more information to Facebook through WhatsApp all this while).

YMMV, but here are some suggestions. Turn off notifications and the message count badge completely. Then avoid opening the app. Do these for a few days until you realize that you're not missing much and are probably less stressed and happier than before. Get others to use Wire (I won't recommend Signal because it sucks and has a bad user experience even in 2019, and has only its protocol's fame going for it).
The assumption is that the data partitions are disjoint. Each worker controls its own data and therefore controls what value the other workers see. So the worker is responsible for making sure the other workers read the correct version.
I'm not trying to be mean, but are you aware that you do, in fact, have a face and people can see it in the real world? Not to mention that you also get judged by your appearance, because that's what humans do.

My general impression is that worker safety was pretty much disregarded compared to modern standards.

A quick search turned up this piece[1] on 16 deaths around 1904 during construction of a NYC subway line. There are famous pictures such as this one of construction of high rises in New York[2] without any safety equipment whatsoever. But it was built in 14 months! All that safety gear is expensive and slows down construction. In climbing, we often joke 'no belay, no delay', because of how fast you can climb when you don't take the time to fix your ropes, etc. [3]

I'd say if you're working for a real business making money and don't have special cases in the code, you should watch out because some competitor is going to be moving faster than you, and you probably don't bring much value.

In any significantly complex system of business logic, special cases abound. A system of only special cases is of course bad, but a system with a few here and there are expected.

However, I feel that informing your boss that you're quitting is a reasonably easy thing to do which could help real people at that company and seems like common decency to me

There is indeed a common decency regression in the current tech workforce. It used to be, that not making an appointment, not making a phone call appointment, and the like were simply not done when it came to job interviews and the hiring process. Lots of tech professionals (as corroborated by people saying so here on HN) seem to think it's okay...stuff happens...maybe they just got busy.

Hiring and job interviews are serious business. People's livelihoods are an important issue. It's not the kind of place where it's okay...stuff happens...maybe they just got busy. An attitude like that just strikes me as lacking empathy and awareness of how one is affecting other people. That's not how I think good people behave.

(EDIT: I'm not talking about interviewees blowing off the call. I'm talking about interviewers! With great power comes great responsibility.)

As I remember at least some series videos used to be recommended in order, but I haven't seen that in a while.

The behavior that really gets me now is having the top recommended videos on my YT homepage ones I've watched... Recently. I can watch a video from my notifications, and then have it stay at the top of my homepage until I hide it manually. Refreshing the page changes some videos, but rarely the top few.

Of course, hiding the video helps but I get tired of having to do it constantly. I think I'm resigned to my YT homepage being useless at this point.
The point is that file formats are qualitatively different than APIs. If I have a doc file that is:

<doc>

<author>

.....

Then in my code I have a parse method:

Def parse_doc(xml)

self.Owner = Person.new(xml[:author])

....

End

And a corresponding write method.

My code is original and contains nothing written by whoever created the file format beyond short and simple tag names. It's much different than copying a class structure and method signatures.
Sure, a live coding talk without preparation is gonna get people to check out. But honestly, if you throw up 45 minutes of slides you're gonna put an audience to sleep too.

According to audience feedback I've collected, my talks where I do a lot of live coding are engaging and fun. But that's cos I practice, and I put effort into the talk.

The key to a good presentation is to polish it and engage the audience. It's part teaching and part performance, and if you don't do both of those well, you'll lose people. Ask the audience questions to get them involved at key places. Practice so you know the timing of things.

If you just show slides or just live code, you're probably better off recording a youtube video, tweeting it out, and spend conferences enjoying the hallway track. :)
Meanwhile in the real world outside of this PR piece most journeys in Oslo are still by car, the air pollution continues to be terrible and the local government is deeply unpopular.

Yup. E.g. in Manhattan you'd be crazy to not use the subway. It's just faster than everything else, and extremely liberating. In contrast, in SF, if you want to get to your destination in any reasonable amount of time and don't your start and destination are not near the BART line, you need to use car / Uber / Lyft. Or even a scooter or Go bike is faster than public transit.

SF needs to significantly invest in transit with dedicated rights of ways, preferably along more important routes than the Central Subway. And if subways are too expensive or difficult to build, we need to seriously consider using elevated light rail instead. Geary road, for example, would be perfect for an el.
This does not surprise me.

Men's Health magazine, Tim Ferris, and others will tout workouts that will revolutionize your body in four weeks.

The catch is that you have to be someone who has weight trained in the past but let it lapse. In that case if you work hard for four weeks, have good nutrition, use creatine, etc. you will really lose fat, gain muscle, look very different.

If you haven't done it before, weight training is good too, but the gains you get if you restart training after a lapse are astonishing. Sometimes you get stuck in weight training and lost interest, then walk away from it for six months, and you are ready to hop in again. There are better forms of "periodization" out there, but that is one of them.
I'm not sure what you're arguing here. Yes, I described a very specific type of optimistic concurrency control that can be layered on top of Calvin to provide support for dependent transactions. (The "optimistic" is in the name of OLLP, after all.) But the underlying Calvin protocol is not optimistic, as it acquires locks. The result is a hybrid scheme that is neither fully optimistic nor fully pessimistic.
Thanks. I hope to never need this information, but I appreciate being able to think it through in advance.
