It's sad that there is so many people that are in a position of power but abuse the trust of those who believe them.
If it's mixed in with Kombucha I'd probably buy it.
Like they listened to varnish author about making actually useful changes? For example implementing proper sessions, so cookies could go away.
Film also accepts rays that strike the surface at oblique angles, while this results in color shift or resolution problems on digital. It was actually technically easier to design high-quality lenses for film because optics did not need to be telecentric (nodal point of the lens placed at infinity). So yes, film was very much "more forgiving" than a digital sensor in this respect.

For example, a lot of early wide-angle designs (eg Biogon) were symmetric, and actually went into the throat of the camera, because if you had a 28mm lens, the nodal point was actually 28mm away from the film. That type of design went away when SLRs needed to put the mirror there, and we switched to lenses that are essentially "reverse telephotos" (the nodal point is farther away than the focal length). Modern lenses for digital cameras take this another step further and put the the nodal point at infinity, so all the rays of light are coming straight into the sensor at a 90 degree angle of incidence. However, since the lens must be a very strong reverse telephoto to accomplish this, it constrains the rest of the design and requires more elements to correct properly.

I started by googling "Free garage plans" and going from there. I went with these plans:

http://www.todaysplans.com/og2424g.pdf

I modified them to add a full size staircase in the corner, change the window and door layout, and add dormer windows upstairs. I got a permit and had the plans approved by the city. Once the slab was poured I just started framing the walls and went from there. I'm working mostly on weekends, so during the week I'll research the next few things coming up. YouTube is the best resource for fiddly things like how to solder a pipe, how to lay tile, etc. Websites with diagrams and pictures are more helpful with technical things like how to lay out window framing, how to properly vent drain pipes. I know I'm working much slower than a pro, but I don't mind, and I get to have things that would normally cost a ton extra for just the cost of materials.

Also a note since full-sized truck has been mentioned a few times, I have a compact truck (2005 GMC Canyon) and it has carried all of my supplies after I had the main lumber order delivered. A compact truck with full length bed is perfectly capable if you are working alone or with 1 helper. The amount of drywall I can hang in a weekend is about what I can carry in the truck. I have a bed extender that was less than $100 so I can carry 16' materials no problem, 20' if it's a short drive.
Personally, I found the research section more enlightening. It lists two papers which talk about their approach:

I'm honestly flabbergasted that Mornay sauce isn't more popular, given that it can be stored in the fridge for up to a week: it's the only reliable way to (consistently) achieve perfectly browned cheese on bread. I put a thin layer on toast, broil it for 2min, and then top it with caviar and watercress. Great way to get Omega-3s in the morning.
JavaScript complaints on HN are often unproductive and irrelevant to the discussion at hand. I wonder how we can disincentivize such comments.
Ok great. Now segment that further into cultural and lingusitic differences.

The 250,000 "white non-Hispanic" people in Louisiana speaking Creole Patois can't communicate easily with the 200,000 or so "white non-Hispanic" people who speak Appalachian English.

"Race" is a starting point, within which there are so many variances in the US. I've traveled a lot of places, but I've yet to find anywhere in the world as diverse at such a wide scale as that in the US. It's messy, violent, uncertain and magnificent.
Failing to overcome the network effect unfortunately. My (perhaps naive) hope for this copyright directive was that it would add a cost or limiting factor to the network effect, i.e. after your platform grows past a certain size you are accountable for every user and have to filter uploads at great cost.
Seems like re-hashed linguistic-relativism here. Steven Pinker has carefully debunked sapir-whorf time and time again.
>We have a ton of old buildings, privately owned. Mine included, where it's a small building of 4 floors and 4 owners. One appartement per floor. It's so hard to get people into investing money without any monetary return.

This is what you get when you have a single building with multiple owners. Can you imagine having a car that's owned by 4 people? It wouldn't get maintained either. This is why in the US, condos (buildings with separately-owned units) are run by management companies who have the authority to do maintenance and repairs and to charge the owners for this if it's more than their monthly condo fee.

Of course, this isn't immune to problems (mgmt companies are frequently accused of mismanagement), but it sounds like you don't have anything like that in place, just multiple people owning pieces of the same building, with no central governance. That can never work out.

>In Marseille two buildings collapsed right in the center of city. They were decrepit and owned by a company who never invested a dim despite problem reported. People actually died.
>I wonder how many time it need to happen until we wake up?

This sounds like a clear case of negligence. Here, generally there'd be a big lawsuit against the management company, and possibly investigation of criminal negligence since someone died. Criminal negligence is a crime, not a tort, and can result in the management going to prison.
Netflix's documentary on the Fyre Festival makes this case well. The Instagram influencers were all that mattered -- the physical festival was hardly an afterthought.
I would say it's standard in most western countries.

I'd watch that movie though.
Clearly the example given is just meant to make the larger point and not to serve as an exact recipe to make your own Coke knock-off.

Also, since we’re being pedantic, cocoa? That’s chocolate. Coca Cola is made with kola nut and other flavors, not chocolate.
Maybe I missed it, but isn't this just an artifact of full frames becoming more popular since 2000?

You forget to point out what will happen immediately after:

EU creative industry gets reset to the 1980s (what they -so desperately- want). The rest of the world doesn't stop. Not the US, not India, not China. Every EU entertainment industry business goes bankrupt because better alternatives exist to TV and EU Movies, most/all creatives in the EU are fired/out of a job ...

2 years later, all that remains of the EU creative industry is 100 vloggers and one film collective that all operate from outside the EU with material "not targeted at EU citizens" and, on rare occassions, EU governments will seriously underfund one or two movies who are mostly made by volunteers (and since every kid in every school is made to watch every such movie thrice - as a bonus these movies are hated with a passion by 90% of the population, their mere mention evokes bad memories of forceful teachers and painful, extremely tense absolute nonsense quizzes afterwards).

Youtube still reigns supreme. Amazon still reigns, Netflix still reigns. Nothing has changed, if anything these have become stronger, it's just that EU material is now never touched with a 10 foot pole by anyone on these platforms. Film students regularly come on TV, in tears, complaining about how EU copyright law means that as soon as anyone finds out where they're from, nobody returns any calls anymore and purges any video received from them from their hard drives and SSDs, drenching them in holy water 5 times afterwards in hopes of appeasing Youtube's enforcement of EU law.
Torture is the best tool if you're trying to get an easy scapegoat.

Just a legal version of "keep voting until we get the vote we want".

But it shouldn't be shocking that the elites get what they want. The EU was created by the elites for the benefit of the elites, not ordinary europeans.

The elites of every major region seem intent on controlling and censoring the internet ( EU, China, Russia, US, etc ). The question is towards what end? It certainly isn't for the benefit of their own people.

Hey sorry this is a few days later, but I've been thinking about your site a lot.

I think eventually you probably want to automatically build pages, just by scanning carb counts from a nutritional databases....

But as long as you are doing these high effort manual posts, an amazing feature I would love to see is a "suggested replacement item" for things that aren't Keto.

So if someone searches "Is Kombucha Keto", your page could say "No probably not Keto, but consider this probiotic drink from Kevita which is very similar but without as many carbs."
Exactly. CDs can contain basically any audio you'd like... which is part of the cause of loudness wars, after all - you can put things on a CD that just wouldn't work on vinyl.

You can even add vinyl effects (warmness/clicks) in post-processing. I have a few songs in my library that really do sound like you're playing an LP, even though they're completely synthetic.

In the ripping community, there are some well-known albums that were mastered differently for LPs and are considered superior to their digital mastering. And so there are folks who spend $$$ on setups to play back the LP, record it, and then postprocess it to remove clicks. You end up with a digital audio file that has the better mastering. You could put that same file on a CD, after all.
I have been researching this topic for some time, mostly to prepare for life after 50. For the below, consider holding all other equivalent variables equal for simplicity:

+ Learning how to sell is the most important skill to develop, whether you are selling as part of an organization or for your own gig. Ultimately software is about business results, and selling rewards experience built over time.

+ Learn how to influence: customers, vendors, direct reports. As you get older you will need to increasingly be effective through your relationships with other people.

+ Working for yourself beats working for someone else as you get older, particularly if you can foster multi-year relationships with a range of customers where no individual customer represents more than 30% of your revenue.

+ Building recurring revenue into those contracts so you do not need to always drum up new business helps as you pass from 50 to 60.
NYT and WaPo have weekly (daily too) newsletters that you can just have a rule move to a folder and check once a month.
100% agree. Beyond the change to TOS, they also quadrupled Mandrill prices with almost no notice forcing companies with high volume to scramble (or pay massive amounts).

Don't use Mandrill or Mailchimp for anything important.
I would count doubleclick. I missed it because when I looked at my various lists, it didn't account for acquisitions. Google bought doubleclick, but yes it was market dominant when Google bought it.

Thanks for your list, which is interesting. No way would I consider 'vice media' or 'buzzfeed' to be tech companies. We are well past the stage where delivering something over the web makes you a tech company -- a tech company uses some advance in technology to gain a key competitive advantage. So you can argue that the Bloomberg terminal was bloomberg's key advantage and thus makes Bloomberg a tech company, assuming they were the ones who invented information terminals or did some technological innovation to radically improve them.

But there is nothing like that in vice media or buzzfeed. These are media companies. That also means the definition of a tech company changes over time. If I start a company selling books online today, that's not a tech company. Even though Amazon was a tech company doing just that in the past.

Take Blue Apron -- what exactly is technical about it, other than they have a website? Take, as a comparison, Amazon. You can say "both Blue Apron and Amazon sell stuff over the web". But selling stuff over the web in 1998 was technically innovative whereas doing the same in 2018 is not. And you can tell that Amazon is a technology driven company by looking at AWS and all of the innovations they have created since then as well. Amazon makes money by inventing new technologies, whereas Blue Apron makes money by selling prepared meals. That's not a slam on Blue Apron, because there are many drivers of a company. Maybe Blue Apron has the best chefs. Maybe they have the best quality food. Maybe they have the best customer support. Maybe the best prices. There are lots of legitimate business approaches other than focusing on technological innovation to gain a market edge.

Similarly, nowadays every taxi company has smartphone based dispatching. But that's not going to convert taxi companies into tech companies, but Uber will remain a tech company and it continues to rollout other tech innovations even as others catch up to them with smartphone dispatch.
At least on motorways, this is because more often than not you will be going too fast to do this safely by the time you run out of lane. Most drivers will be conditioned by that experience to expect it unless they can see evidence to the contrary. This is also why the signs indicating lane closures will usually be half a mile or more before the actual closure. When the traffic is slow moving to start with people do tend to merge in turn.

I wonder if whoever is supplying evidence via tests should be forced to (blindly) apply the tests to people other than the defendant. If your test says some random sample is more likely match than I am, it's very weak evidence.

Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?
I was reflecting today about how often I think about Freakonomics. I don't study it religiously. I read it one time more than 10 years ago. I can only remember maybe a single specific anecdote from the book. And yet the simple idea that basically every action humans take can be traced back to an incentive has fundamentally changed the way I view the world. Can anyone recommend books that have had a similar impact on them?

>Does anyone else find it strange that there is no real-world data in these notebooks? It's all simulations or abstract problems.

Pretty much every course I took in undergrad physics had no real world data. The intro level courses were especially fun, when we'd go into the lab and get such horrible data that we'd never conclude what they're teaching in the theory classes. We wondered what the point of the lab even was.

The biggest offender is the friction model. Heck no - it's not proportional to the normal force. No one could successfully show that in the lab. And a quick Google search shows you a trivial experiment where just changing the orientation and keeping the normal force the same leads to wildly different frictions.
I was under the impression almost anything that is trigger-based and has some data points is automated these days. Severe weather, sports statistics, poll results, finance numbers. All of that is fairly automate-able. They were talking about this 10 years ago. I'm not sure how to automate much of the rest since the good stories require some kind of context and talking to people on the field.

I just hope we don't lose too many reporters who go to city council meetings and court hearings. Such places need a human present to understand the context of what is happening and can spot corruption as it occurs. The dark side of automation is where people figure out ways to game the system.
Your site did it right, though. It gives a message about how javascript is necessary and then, when enabled for that domain, didn't force me to enable tens of domains to make it actually work. I'm getting very weary of the "determine which minimum set of domains js must be enabled for in order to browse your site" game. So thank you for that.
You should consider charging fixed costs instead of hourly as well. It's easier for clients to make a business decision of your cost when they've got a guaranteed outcome.
That sounds amazing! I hiked the PCT a couple years ago and I'd love to be able to go back to that kind of lifestyle while still making money and being relatively connected to the rest of the world.

Fingers crossed, I should be making more progress towards that in the next year after my fiancee finishes grad school.

I would also think that in cases like this you’re dealing with an indie dev who you’re never going to purchase something from again anyway. Steam would never have a refund policy like this, so the issue becomes moot.
This is becoming more common, but has been true for a long time.

I remember working at the mall as a student in mid-90s, you could see that the key to being moderately successful in that environment was maintaining a car. Without a car, you couldn't move up to a management role (as you'd often have to come in early/late when bus transit was least effective), couldn't get a second job that paid more and you couldn't go to school to gtfo of retail.

>Meanwhile, there's plenty you can do at a local level. Going somewhere else is only delaying the problem.

Working at the local level isn't going to get you significant change very quickly at higher levels. Basically, you won't enjoy the fruits of your labor, but maybe your kids or grandkids will, if they stick around.

Going somewhere else will get you into a situation you like better right away, and is only "delaying the problem" for the people who stick around, who you're leaving behind to deal with it.

>In the last year employee pressure has forced Facebook to acknowledge their cafeteria staff right to unionize

Facebook remains a real problem for society, but their cafeteria stuff can unionize... I don't see how this really helps anyone except the cafeteria staff, and certainly doesn't help the billions of people whose privacy is threatened by Facebook.

Some makers are motivated by showing / sharing things to others even before social media was around. Instagram is also a useful marketing platform for creative professionals who may otherwise have had a harder time breaking through. Just because the platform doesn't fit your use case doesn't mean people don't use it for useful applications.
They probably wanted to avoid the bad press showing their security was really flawed, and spin it as intentional testing.

However, society/police can decide they don't want criminals roaming free just because it helps a company cover up their mistakes.
