First of all, thanks everyone for the valuable feedback, critics, suggestions, etc. Truly appreciate that!

And thanks for patience to all people who are playing with the Nevod right now and getting errors. We have an unexpectedly high interest and number of visitors is very high in our playground. Meanwhile, it's a preview of the technology, please keep in mind.

Let me clarify few things. The speed of Nevod is based on two things:

1. Nevod operates on words, not individual characters. From my 30 years of coding experience I would say that roughly 95% of text processing/rules are word-based. So it covers most of tasks.

2. Nevod matches MULTIPLE patterns against document in ONE PASS. Patters/expressions are indexed by state machine and filtered effectively during matching.

So, at a RULE DECK of 1000 patterns, we got 300 times improvement comparing to RegExp. This is a kind of tasks when you let say need to highlight syntax, to massively verify and route incoming requests in cloud, perform massive text validations, track certain phrases and relations in massive human communication, etc.

With growing number of patterns the difference between Nevod and RegExp is higher and higher and go far beyond 300 times. So, I'm a kind of disagree with moderators removed the word "hundreds" from the headline. :)

We will publish benchmark results and we will also release "negrep" (Nevod GREP) command line tool for Windows, Linux, Mac, so everyone will be able to run "negrep", play with it and verify benchmark him/herself. Generally, Nevod technology will be available both in form of a library, in form of command line tool, and in form of service.

If humanity lived at the density of Paris (21,438/km^2), we could all live in an area half the size of Texas (695,663 km^2).

So if we're talking about material post-scarcity, land is more than plentiful.
The region is fine.
Thousands of people car / motorcycle / bicycle / walk through all the stans every year without issue.
It is more and more accessible for tourists with infrastructure ..

Don't believe everything you read on a government "do not travel" list. Heck, you can even pop across the tadjik border and stay in Afghanistan safely.
The Cost of Client-Side Rehydration
I tried around with the twitter homepage yesterday, and figured that the transferred html, js, images etc when just pressing F5 on twitter (with a hot cache!) was way bigger than a png (!) screenshot of the same page.

My prediction: the next step will be to move rendering server-side, just send pixels, and the only thing ad blockers will be able to do (after moving to deep learning or some similarly ridiculously expensive way to combat this idiocy) is to place literal black bars over all ads.

Now that I wrote it down, I'd actually like to have that in uBlock now, so I can see which sites are horribly ad infested, and make my choices accordingly.
If we are efficient enough in our use of land, the demand relative to the supply will shrink enough that it's no longer scarce.

I suppose lots of people enjoy owning their own land-- large tracts of it in fact, and not sharing it with anyone. That's a little tougher to conceptualize as post-scarcity as there's a limit to making land enjoyment more efficient with advanced technology. But in a world where other resources are less scarce perhaps we can think about colonizing other planets and terraforming as ways to increase supply.
How do you do this? How fast is the speech? 800wpm? Faster?
Ratings aren't fungible from person to person, so I reject the whole "4.0 rating" thing. A book could have a 2.0 rating and I might still find it useful. Generic ratings like that are, at best, a VERY weak signal, and certainly not something I'd ever incorporate into an ironclad rule.
Blame the academic administrators who demand publications in top tier journals - the same ones who charge a ton for access.

Scientists can publish in whatever journal they please. The problem is that if they publish in most open sources journals (there are exceptions), they aren't counted as top tier and it hurts their career.
Thanks this looks interesting. Unfortunately I don't have time watch this now in it's entirety. I will later however. Cheers.
I do this with informational youtube videos. I crank the speed to 1.5-2x depending on how fast the presenter is talking, but I push it to the point where I feel like I'm just barely keeping up and I try to get faster over time where I'm setting more and more videos to 2x rather than 1.5x.
Is there a way of tracking the impact of these memos at Amazon - for example a "decision log" such as "because of memo X it was decided to fit speed limiters on all delivery vans - All speed limiter costs will be under Cost Code XXX"

Then you can trace costs (and presumably savings) back as a dimension through the P&L?
It sounds like you are taking the word "breach" in the title as if it's a security thing.

They are referring to breach as in breach of rules. These are not security vulnerabilities, these are GDRP complaints that may or may not be real, but have been reported by people.
hell, I'd be happy if the designers I work with used XD instead of PS or AI so that they at least had a change of reasoning about their "responsive" layouts.

Being handed a PSD for "desktop" and a PSD for "mobile" one time is one time too many. Especially when they put fixed height elements for dynamic content everywhere and get surprised once the dynamic content starts doing its dynamic things

It makes you wonder -- had they not staged this whole HQ2 fiasco and just chose a city and moved there (you know, like companies normally do...) -- would the move to NYC be more widely accepted?
I use the Tandem t:slim X2 pump in conjunction with the Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor. The one thing I hate about the pump is that it's always clipped on or in a pocket. Literally, I'm always plugged into this thing. So that part does suck, but otherwise it's just a lot better than manual injections.

It keeps track of my insulin on board so I don't have to worry about stacking and getting a low nearly as much. It's programmed with my carb ratios so I just type in the carbs and it doses accordingly, it will even take your current BG into consideration and increase/lower the insulin dosage to help get you at target BG.

With manual injections, you have to give 1 full unit of insulin; the pump can give doses as small as .04 units of insulin so the dosing is much more precise. You are no longer saying, "Well should I round up or down..."

The pump has a closed loop with the CGM, so the pump knows if my blood sugar is going to be low BEFORE I'M LOW. So it just automatically quits giving insulin to help prevent the low before it ever happens.

Honestly, it's pretty amazing to me how far these things have come from just 10 years ago.
Looking for Startup Feedback
It's not that it's impossible to deliver ads without referring to a thirds party site's code. It's that advertisers don't trust content sites to just tell them how many views they got.
Yep. They told their investors tall tales about engagement and growth, and would have to back track considerably if they were honest about the amount of bots on their service.
We are just reading the text. Maybe the answers are in the attached Power Point.
Section 8 grants Spotify and their business partners the right to provide advertising and other information to you. That's you granting them rights should they succeed in doing so, not you guaranteeing the ability to do it.

Section 9, item 5 only mentions "circumventing or blocking advertisements in the Spotify Service". Nothing about "third party" ads, when "third party" is explicitly mentioned in other rules, separate from "the Spotify Service". If they legally can, I'm sure they'll "fix" that wording, at which point using a typical ad blocker with become lying, but still definitely not stealing. That rule is redundant anyway as it would required circumventing DRM, already illegal.

I guess there are plenty of "commandments" there, but they're all for show as they're either already illegal or fall under the fact that Spotify can deactivate your account whenever they want, even for reasons not listed there.
The main incentive to work is that you need to work to make a living. If the government hands you everything you need without working that is a massive disincentive to work
In Paris the waiters would not have prior experience telling them it's possible to succeed financially under such a scheme in that market. Without the eagerness of waiters to adopt such a scheme, there would be no public support for it from the customers.

I think maybe that's the part of the picture into the American tipping situation that Europeans and 1% Silicon Valley workers alike are missing. Most Americans who support tipping do so because they personally know a waiter who knows they make out like a bandit from the scheme. Europeans are less likely to be personally acquainted with an American waiter than your average American, as are wealthy tech workers on the spectrum.
I completely agree with this. In the recent past, I have been moving from ppt to writing articles. The clarity you get while you write it demonstrates how much you know. It is like thinking about a picture and then drawing it, you have to focus on a lot of details to get it right. When we think the mind doesn't focus on those
This discussion reminds me of the first chapters of Greg Egan's Diaspora. I suspect Amazon's free sample would cover the pertinent parts.
But lying to Congress is kind of a moving target. You can get away with it if you later when found out come back in with a "I was misinformed" or "I misunderstood the question" performance.
It's neither (at least, exclusively) a jobs program nor a jobs replacement program, but it has elements of both; it makes more work available (when replacing minimum wages as a floor-setting system), improves capacity for labor market realignment via retraining, and better addresses the needs of those who, even with that, cannot find adequate work.
Yes, but only up to a point. DAU and MAU is a reflection of advertising audience size, and thus potential revenue. If company A has. 1M DAU, and The grows it in 2M in a year, that’s good growth, revenue should double even with everything staying the same. It’s stock price should at least double, probably more than that to price in future growth.

Compare that to Company B that has 500k DAU and flat. Not so good.

Now what happens if it turns out that Company A’s DAUs we’re actually bots? Suddenly, the audience isn’t worth anything, because bots aren’t an advertiser friendly audience. So now the stock should at least drop in accordance to the real-DAU, and maybe even less to price in lack of confidence in the future.
Yeah, but I don't have anywhere to run iTunes :/
To expand on that, sqlite3 will most likely work best for 98% of all blogs out there. You hardly need a dedicated RDBMS service if 2-5 people put new articles few times a week.
>They change the shape of the bottle to reduce volume and hope I don't notice that the price effectively went up.

One of the memories that really sticks out for me from working in a grocery store was the time the Breyer's ice cream increased in price that way.

They came in a 5 case of 500g containers. They sold regularly for around $5 or something like that. They went on sale for 2 for $5 for about 2 weeks. After the first week they started showing up in 4 packs of 430g containers. I remember having to rearrange the shelves to get them to fit properly, theit shape was slightly different. After the sale ended they went to $6 for a 430g container. It was the first time I noticed and really thought about price increases by lowering the volume of containers.

That was also around the time they stopped putting handles on the big ice cream pails. A lot of people complained about it, they were no good for berry picking any more. One day I asked the dairy delivery guy about it. He said someone figured out that the handles added 2¢ to the cost of each bucked and some accountant figured out that by removing them they saved, I can't remember the exact number, but in the millions of dollars each year.
This reminds me of the old modem days where you had two competing 56k standards, Kflex, X2, before V90 was ratified: https://www.computerhope.com/modemsta.htm
That second example is really surprising. This sort of thing happens all the time in production when lines get moved around. Does anyone know why errcheck misses it?
What’s wrong with tax breaks? It’s like people are under the impression that the government is actually paying Amazon. If Amazon didn’t get any tax breaks, they would have gone somewhere else.

The people who don’t want Amazon in Queens don’t actually live there, all the protests are in Manhattan.

People are protesting the likely rise in rents that an Amazon HQ will cause. But the real problem is government regulation. If real estate developers could build housing without all the NIMBYs yelling to their city councils or if they could build without onerous regulation about fire escapes or whatnot, people would have housing.

All this regulation that is supposed to help consumers actually hurts them. It’s not like with regulation companies will do the same thing as if they didn’t exist. Many companies will just opt out.

I’m guessing I’m going to get downvoted, but I honestly believe that regulation is the root of all evil and most social ills (like healthcare costs, pharmaceutical prices, etc).

But instead of protesting the bad incentives government creates, people just blame the “greedy” corporations.

Right... but why that? Do they think there's a problem with his education specifically? Why not give him cash and let him put it in an education fund, or a pension fund, or whatever he wants? Why say 'and you'll want to use this to increase your education'? Like buying him a voucher for a facelift.
That was from a different time, right? By now, package delivery people also has a pretty bad reputation due to the profit pressures exerted on them by capitalists. I don't really feel happy seeing a delivery guy. If anything, I feel sorry for them.

They do - and HN readers who manage technical people should remember it. Break that bond and detachment will ensue. For example, if you are scaling up and getting rid of snowflake servers with cute names and personal history, consider giving the admins something else to bond with.
It's not, it's a low temperature antiferromagnet, so there's no net magnetization like in a ferro/ferrimagnet.

I think it's a bit deceitful of the headline to call this a new magnet since most laypeople think of a magnet as something that has a net magnetization, whereas this material, while technically a magnet because it has magnetic order, lacks the one defining characteristic in laypeople's minds: it won't stick to other metals via a magnetic field.
A more responsive Flow
For me it's not about lossless sounding better. Storage is so cheap nowadays that it's silly not to have a full lossless encode for an archive/backup. I can transcode that lossless file into any other lossy format but transcoding a lossy file to another format destroys the quality.
Personally, I would like to work at this new "HQ2" but the political rhetoric is pretty interesting to follow. Giving so much tax credit and incentive doesn't really make sense to me (and not just this deal to Amazon, the deal to Foxconn is even more baffling). $2.2 Billion for 25000 jobs is about $88000/job. That is a lot of tax money we're using up. On top of this, Long Island is a pretty occupationally diverse area to begin with. 25000 is a lot of jobs, but not make or break amount for Long Island that everyone is making it seem to be.
If i understand correctly, almost half of that sum is from pre-existing tax incentives.

It actually seems pretty effective in this case. This uBlock Origin issue has been open for half a year and none of the default lists block the ads: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/3367
I actually do pay spotify - I just object to the enforcement principle.

(And apple music and Amazon - I think I need to rationalise that one)

I think that the Apple / Amazon model is more appealing - pay us first or basically you get nothing.

I guess this is the early signs of the Freemium
model falling apart.
I wonder how this works with things like Pi-hole. I block ads at the DNS level for my whole house with dnsmasq. Any guest who connects to my WiFi AP gets this benefit through their DHCP configuration. Will Spotify ban their accounts for using the service while visiting me?

Interesting, I stopped using Apple News awhile ago, mainly because source customization didn't seem to work well. Maybe I should give it a shot again.
John Carreyrou wasn't an expert on phlebotomy or biochemistry. Roger Lowenstein wasn't an expert on hedge funds or technical finance. Eric Schlosser on nuclear command and control? Nope. Woodward and Bernstein and constitutional law? Not so much!

I don't think these are very good rules.

I thought it was especially amusing that this person doesn't trust journalists to write about anything but journalism. If you believe that, why are you interested in reading about journalism in the first place?

HN has an unfortunate fixation on Michael Crichton's supposed Gell-Mann amnesia effect (wherein you read something in the news that pertains to your field, spot errors, get angry, and then forget that happened when you go on to read the next story). I propose the countervailing Djikstra amnesia effect, wherein a technical professional produces workmanlike output with all the attendant errors and omissions that attach to any work produced by humans (Christ knows our field is intimately acquainted with errors and omissions), then forgets they did that, and expects every other professional to measure up to the standard they themselves failed to meet.
I just meant I notice I feel a lot less freedom after initial release. When I haven't released something yet, I can wipe and recreate the database at any time, move, rename etc. as I want to try things out. Once I've released though, changes become significantly more painful and risky. Perhaps a migration is a few hours tops but that's compared to a few minutes tops when you don't have active users yet and when you're a solo developer each hour is a significant amount of your productivity.
There is an overwhelming amount of info out there on how to build websites. But in reality, it all boils down to three things:

1. HTML: Where you tag the content of your website. ( paragraphs, titles )

2. CSS: Where you define style of your website. (font colors, etc.)

3. Javascript: Where you define the functionality of your website. (i.e. what should happen when a button is clicked?)

For me that was the aha! moment. Everything else was just noise. Yes there is a learning curve, but it isn't all that bad if you ignore the noise.

I would recommend against all of the "Learn everything you need" type courses. and just focus on these three courses:

* https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-html

* https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-css

* https://www.codecademy.com/learn/introduction-to-javascript

That is how I started.

The question isn’t whether Americans would unambiguously view a fire bombing of LA as morally wrong. The question is would the Japanese view it as morally wrong? Of course the victims view it as wrong. Would the offenders?
The insulin injections also allow diabetics to regulate their blood sugar so that they don't have to deal with even bigger problems.

I have spent a lot of time around 4 diabetics in my family, none of which had morbidly unhealthy lifestyles. Sure, they could all use a little more exercise and moderation in their diet, but then again most people can.

You can buy (rent, access, whatever) their product with one of two forms of payment: money or ads. If you don't like how their ads are delivered (admittedly fair) then pay, if you don't find either of those acceptable then you don't get their product. Disabling ads is requesting a completely free third option, which isn't something they choose to allow.

I don't understand the entitlement you seem to feel to demand that third option.
Doesn't this have to work 100% of the time if you rely on it? I mean if it works 99% of the time your odds are low you'll make it thru a year. It seems like a cool idea, but the mechanism does seem like it would work not every time.
The OP's point of view is valid. The OP's assertion as to the cause of their license being revoked was not backed up with any useful evidence (a coincidence is not sufficient). Here's some things the OP could have done, or included if they did do or know, to back up their claim:

- Explain how the Reddit post could have been linked to the Git Tower license, so even if they wanted to revoke the license, they would know how to.

- Explain what Git Tower said when asked why the license was revoked, or whether they were even asked at all.

- Note whether there could have or has previously been any oddness or confusion with licenses (in a later comment, OP notes "I tried to lookup my old license and realized I was given 1 free license this annual period (around ~October) after purchasing 2 seats the previous year for contributing significantly to bug reports with full screencasts, etc.")

In fact, if you check the reddit post now, you'll see the top comment is actually a post-mortem from the company explaining what happened. You can choose to still disbelieve what they say (a bug in the licensing system, they wouldn't do this, they didn't even know the account) if you like since you seem to think it's far fetched, but I think by far the most likely situation (even before I noted any comments from the developer) was that there was some bug or error, given the OP didn't seem to put any effort into figuring out what went on before making a very negative assumption and then posting publicly like it was true.
Ask HN: Ideas for projects (excluding data analysis)that use probability theory
Probability theory application at first glance seems to happen solely in data science projects.

Are there avenues wherein one could apply probability theory for more interesting goals than "how to sell things", "what do people want more?" etc etc
I think it mostly gives the cover of plausible deniability - I don't think many people doubt that many researchers simply fetch the research they need from Sci-Hub, or elect not to read it at all, before contacting their librarian.
Checking for vulnerabilities IMO shouldn't be considered a crime - it's not a clear malicious intent. Sure if somebody is trying to open car doors in the parking lot that may warrant investigation - but for all we know they were just trying to warn drivers they left it unlocked, no actual crime has yet been committed.

But after you have this data, I jokingly suggested "welp may as well capitalize on it". But missing with somebody elses money, especially a large fin-tech company will get a lot of people upset, people with money to sue, not to mention it's the FBI's job to go after you, especially at this scale.

You could certainly try just be aware the reaction will not be favorable for you at all.
