Hi HN!

We're a couple of programmers based in Los Angeles (ex super deluxe, buzzfeed, earwolf). We were frustrated that there's no clear way today to tell which TV shows are most popular. Major streaming services, like Netflix, pick and choose what data to share about their shows. Other more traditional rating services get their data from sources that aren't as relevant in today's world or are very expensive.

Goodviews ranks TV shows by their true popularity online. It works by aggregating and analyzing multiple data sources - search, social (including reddit), torrent, and more. We then use that data to create daily rankings of shows overall and within specific genres and networks.

We think this is useful for a few reasons:

-It makes it easier to find new shows to watch. You can use it to find shows that are trending and it can be more enjoyable to watch a show when other people are watching.

-As a fan of television it's fun to know what is and isn't engaging audiences.

-We're wary of big media corporations keeping this information to themselves. This is especially true when their recommendation engines silo us into specific groups. This can cause us to miss out on good shows and lose empathy for people who may be watching entirely different programming.

We'd love you to take a look. Any feedback is appreciated. We're constantly honing the algorithm and adding new shows.
'Consciousness', as a word denoting a concept, has at least two problems: firstly, it means different things to different people and in different circumstances; secondly, it is often assumed to be a binary attribute, rather than a continuum.
You could manage this by setting expectations early. When you start negotiating, a classic trick is to set a few different “packages” and then gently guiding the other side towards the option you really wanted from the start.

So let’s say you really want to do this bit, but you also know management is too cheap; you create a super-cheap option where you don’t do the activity, but something else also happens that management is unwilling to accept, something pretty horrible. Then you have two other packages that are actually desirable, both containing the activity; one of them should be the bells&whistles option that will look expensive. Management will discard the costly choice and the obviously-subpar one, and pick the middle tier. The skill is in not making it too obvious that is what you wanted all along - i.e. you should sound really disappointed that they didn’t pick the super-expensive version.
We also have a residual, uncapped, % option if the founder ever sells the business. This keeps us aligned with the founders to keep helping them grow the value of the business for the long-term even after the Return Cap is paid back.

I think he means that having people fill out recaptcha all the time because they don't allow Google to track them should be an ADA violation.
Debt isn’t a problem in reality. Especially as the world’s reserve currency. If that ever becomes not the case, we’ll the whole monetary system will be touched. I would google modern monetary theory. I think that is the future more or less.
Aahh, Beatport.

I once lost my huge chunk of my music library due to a hard drive corruption (and not up to date backups, whoops).

No big deal, I’ll just re-download all my purchases (in the order of hundreds of dollars): nope.

Emailed them and asked, they said no, pleaded the case, mentioned how much I’d spent and they re-enabled them all with a snarky note about always keeping backups.

I try to buy as much as I can from Bandcamp instead these days.
I wouldn't have drawn that comparison. But I wouldn't rule it out as a reasonable comparison without some data to point to.
This is the landlord's responsibility.
So policies that result in under-representation of POC are neutral, but changing hiring & retention practices to improve diversity is a defacto quota system?
As it pertains to this complaint though, those are all seem less relevant than the issue of well... plain non-compliance? I mean, if they didn't even have a DPO...

Still, let's not overstate this "recordbreaking" fine. It's not large, at all. It's only of a fraction of profits (not revenue) in France alone. Even if google fully expected to take this hit, it might not have bothered to change its behavior. The fine, by itself, has no impact on google's business. The greater risk, really, is that they've got a record now: if they get caught again, they'll be more likely to suffer more punitive measures that really are relevant to its core business.

Also, they come across as slightly incompetent, really: I'm kind of surprised such a huge organization didn't bother to prepare very well. I mean, for some the law might have come as a surprise, but it's not been unannounced, and it sure looks like google - amongst others might even count as the law's raison d'etre. How exactly did they miss that?
I don't think there is any now.

Mars is far away. The bit rate possible is not that great:

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/4269545/ns/technology_and_science-...

Opportunity at that time could upload 256 kbps to Earth. You could get highly compressed video over that kind of link, but it wouldn't be so appealing for scientific work because you'd be looking at compression artifacts as actual stuff.

In that case the rover was talking to a relay satellite which then talked to earth. With bigger antennas (on all sides) and more power (on the Mars side) we could get that bit rate up.

Even then there is the issue that video on Mars is going to be a few minutes delayed, so you are not going to have the special fun of being able to interact with things on video.

You're right. It was relatively easy for the US to create those companies as it in itself is a huge market with lots of people who, at least, theoretically share a large cultural identity. We don't really have it here so often Germans market to Germans, the people of the UK to the UK, etc.

I'm very concerned, especially as the future is involved, that my personal freedoms necessitate billion dollar corporations to lobby in my (and their) best interests. I don't know why I get informed on the issues that I care about and affect me and then go and do my civic duty and vote according to my conscience, then. And that's scary.

The US is incredibly lucky to have been founded on an idea that the government is for the people and not vice versa (even though, I will readily admit that the US itself is kind of an imperfect example at the moment, it's the best I see).
I mean, this is kinda the point.

No matter what you do, you'll be discriminatory (to a very high likelihood). Even if you don't look at the break-downs of your data, you will be discriminating against some group or another. It is incredibly unlikely that you can max/min two curves at once, let alone for all the classes, races, sexes, castes, genders, etc. that exist.

I agree that root causes should be addressed first and is the best use of time and resources. However, that's not how journalists see it. They see a red-meat story and they go with it.

Federal investigators, journalists, community organizers, etc don't really care what metrics the banks are using/not-using, they care about the results. And I'm saying that there will very nearly always be discrimination if you use nearly any metric. And that's not a bad thing. Being in a Catch-22 is part of life. Trying to get out of one is the thing that matters.
I might be oversimplifying this - couldn't companies that want to take part in the parallel world set up local sensors around their building to estimate position to a much more accurate degree?

I'm thinking along the lines of "Want to be a Pokemon gym? Place these devices around your public space and we'll overlay our AR reality while people are there!"
Oh yeah, Bowling for Columbine was definitely a documentary. I think it depends on the movie.
Touché! Such a citation would help elevate my post out of the realm of mere glibness. I must apologize, though, that it wasn’t a court case but an FTC decision:

On a related point, I am unable to prove, owing to the destruction of many DeVos family documents in the Great Fire of Massachusetts’s port town of Innsmouth, that Betsy DeVos’s real maiden name is humanly unpronounceable and that the Blackwater Company is a cryptic nod to Lake R’lyeh.
The best and only way to avoid spam is to not pick up a number that you don't know. If it is someone important, they will leave a message. Rest are probably spam anyway.
Burying the spying disclosure in the TOS, and obfuscating the language used to describe that spying, is attempted secrecy. Also, it’s irrelevant, because disclosure of potentially illegal acts doesn’t make them any more legal (“but I told them I was going to steal their money, and they put it in my safe anyway” is not a legal defense).
Does anyone know what kind of growth Reddit has seen over the past few years? I'm curious if the trend in number of disclosure requests over time looks any different when normalized for some sort of growth metric.

> Sure, but how is that different than other investments such as stocks or bonds?

Since stocks are how one owns a corporation, it's literally exactly the same as stocks, which are not an “other investment”.

Of course, there is a manifest difference between controlling enough stock that one determines, among other things, if, when, and how much a corporation distributes back to shareholders and, well, not controlling that much. But the same issue, in principal, exists with shareholders collectively as with a single shareholder individually, though coordinated action becomes harder with larger numbers.
Most of them are CLOSE but still pretty Uncanny Valley, then there's https://i.imgur.com/A2ThWBE.jpg which was...shocking to say the least. Crazy how far this stuff has come though, and how many more applications it has.
Also interesting how the oddities of the images look a lot like how some of the visual effects of psychedelics manifest. Hair blending into an ear, the lines around the eyes trailing off, the "hairiness" of some of them, and of course the nightmare fuel I linked above.
There is, but Martians use a proprietary form of encryption that they haven't licensed to us puny Earthlings.
I think they are being intentionally misleading making the claim that this case is representative of the general security concerns regarding owning cryptocurrencies.

They claim "An exchange is roughly like a bank for bitcoin" which is either extremely disingenuous or extremely uninformed. I've never heard a member of the crypto community claim that it is appropriate to treat exchanges like banks. They nearly universally say the opposite, that exchanges should be considered risky and that you don't own the underlying coin if you don't own the keys.

Keeping your money on an exchange (and not a top tier player at that) would maybe be like putting your money in a bank in some small dictatorship country that has none of the protections of traditional banks and a history of screwing over claim holders.

Obviously this situation represents a serious danger in the crypto sphere but labeling this kind of an event as representative of the general risks in holding crypto is highly misleading.
Apple's 2FA cannot be disabled, beyond that if you ever had two devices connected to your account, good luck getting them to use your verified phone instead... I was trying to get rid of a "your apple account... please sign in" via the app store, and the advice was to sign out then back in again... my only other apple device was in another city...

Phone calls to GF, to get her to login, similar issue, it was now signed out, and after another attempt, one of them showed the 2FA window, which got me in. At no point was I able to use the phone number also associated with my account, and it was a huge, long, pain in the ass. It's actually a huge part of why I won't buy an iPhone.
The latter basically. I have seen no one that has their shit together right now.
There's at least one doppelganger that looks exactly like you in the world. It's interesting to think that some of these GAN rendered images of people could actually be people that exist in the real world.
I've also seen slaughterhouse videos depicting the most gruesome, heinous abuses inflicted upon livestock animals (beating them, stabbings, repeated shocking with obviously higher voltages than mere prods — often in front of their peers, who are queued for the same fate).

I applaud your friends for their endeavor, but the fact that some in the livestock industry behave ethically doesn't change a whit the parts that don't.

That nature, in its perpetual state of "kill or starve", behaves so callously is utterly irrelevant to how we can and should behave given our demonstrated capabilities and generally self-congratulatory "My gosh, aren't we the best thing that's ever happened?!" attitude.
OP just needs to change "key" to "key domain".

I mean, you can perfect hash the keys ["foo", "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"] into a single bit, the string-lengths are irrelevant.
At work we have a scraper that likes to use a particularly expensive search query using hundreds of different ips dozens of times per second, all so that they can scrape data that is freely available from us as an XML feed at a different url.

Every time I found a way to fingerprint and block them, they'd change their bot to avoid detection. Captcha for rate limiting seemed like the least bad option.

However, eventually I decided that instead of blocking them, I'd return random results from the db. They weren't checking the data too thoroughly because to this day they haven't changed the bot to avoid my most recent pattern detection. They're still merrily scraping useless data.
As superficial as it seems, this kind of stuff drives me away from businesses. I almost changed my mind about opening a retirement account with Charles Schwab purely because they block access to their site from the VPN that I used at the time. That said, for services from which I gain a lot of benefit, the annoyance is worth it, so it ultimately doesn't matter.
These kinds of benchmarks are not very meaningful. I think that pretty much any modern framework/language can handle at least 1 million idle WebSockets. It's much more interesting to measure performance when you start sending messages through them at regular intervals.
Curious, would you get any use from a service that updates specific map coordinates (that you, the customer would define) rapidly with a new image? Say 10-20x per day? I'm not a salesperson or anything but I'm working on a prototype for a product idea I have and just started talking to potential customers.
> would any other marketing company have done the same as FuckJerry

Are you asking if ANY company would have done the same, or if EVERY company would do the same?

If it's the latter, there are many marketing agencies out there that want to market products that actually exist, and understand that marketing a scam is a potential PR nightmare, in addition to being unethical. Such companies will cancel a contract as soon as it becomes clear that the product cannot be delivered as advertised.
I believe GP meant that not for closed cycle engines, but for all turbo-pump driven engines, which in USA mostly means open loop (gas generator) engines. In USA the tradition was to add complexity in form of gears and extra axes to get pumps running with more optimal speed, while in Russia (USSR) it was to reduce efficiency and gain in simplicity, robustness and mass.
That's what ReCaptcha always was... it was originally a known and another unsure text blurb from scanned books/text documents. Now it's street signs etc.
I feel like there's probably already a department at Alphabet working on this.
How much money would you pay me if I were to travel to Mars, find it, and bring it home?
Cassini was deliberately pushed into Saturn's atmosphere and destroyed (so as not to potentially contaminate habitable worlds) so we probably don't need to worry about that.

Also, there's a great documentary TV series called "7 Days Out" on Netflix which covers the last week of the Cassini mission.
....why were they lobbying (unsuccessfully) against it for so long?

When they were growing they lobbied against. When it became a competitive advantage they lobbied for them.

Lobbying doesn't work, not nearly as well as people think it does.

It works quite well. Both in terms of building walls to discourage competition and to write favorable changes to existing laws. It is in essence a singular force in politics. By lobbying I mean the whole campaign finance machine where rich people personally donate to a campaing and then have their companies do so too. Lobbying is just a proxy for "money in politics" and not just the official lobbyists that are registered. The soft money in politics dwarfs direct campaign contributions.

You seem to be arguing against positions I'm not taking, so perhaps I didn't make myself clear.

I don't dispute that orders of magnitude more people care about weed and porn than care about bitcoin, but the reason I mention weed and porn is the same reason "lawn" did in the comment I linked: There are people who wish to buy or sell these legal (in some jurisdictions) products but who are limited in their practical ability to do so due to a lack of financial freedom. For such people, crypto-currencies are a possible solution.

The fact that bitcoin is used in these situations (even if for a minority of purchases) shows that it is a useful technology (assuming you think that these products aren't inherently illegitimate, even where legal).

Similarly, I accept that bitcoin is completely different from curing a rare illness, in terms of the effect it has on its beneficiaries, but that was not the comparison I was trying to make. I was trying to point out that just because only a minority of the population benefit from a technology (whether a medical technology, or a financial technology), that doesn't make the technology useless.

To pick, perhaps, a better example, suppose there were a new financial technology that helped only the poorest people (and I'm not claiming that bitcoin is such a technology). A wealthy critic of the technology might claim "almost nobody is using it", and they might be correct, but they would be missing the significance of the technology.

Full disclosure: I have never bought any crypto-currency, and have no intention of buying any in the next 24 hours. :-)

Cool, thanks for the info. Any idea what the timeline on creating that CA is?
That does not sound too broad. I don't think anyone wants these unsolicited marketing calls. And people definitely don't want the 'free vacation in the Bahamas' spam calls. I can hardly tell the two apart. What's odd is it seems there are more robocalls today than there were 5-10 years ago.
I remember reading of an ancient Asian religious cult which held the belief that all living things are conscious (plants may have been the exception, I'm not sure). This naturally led to absurd practices such as cultists taking a broom everywhere and sweeping madly at the ground as they walked, lest anyone stepped on an ant.

Lady MacBeth levels of paranoia.
These two issues can, and do, apply to a raft of words.

This hasn’t stopped anyone, on the whole, from investigating and debating the problems and concepts of the fields.
No, it's because we see them as mostly the same thing. It's only when we no longer really care about what it stands for, and that it's become an actual word (rather than a name), where we stop capitalizing it, and then we don't even use titlecase. Examples are "laser" and "snafu".

NASA isn't a word, it's a proper name, and the agency itself uses all-caps when referring to itself. The proper spelling is therefore "NASA". It's just like this for any proper name: there's a correct way to spell and capitalize it, and any other way is wrong. An example here would be any company which uses CamelCase in their name, and officially spells their company name that way. If you decide you don't like camelcase and only use titlecase, then you're spelling their name wrong; you don't get to decide how to spell someone else's name.

This is just another example of British English being wrong-headed, just as they do with referring to corporate entities with plural. American English isn't perfect by any means, but modern-day British English seems to go to great lengths to be different for no good reason.
I live in an area that goes crazy with salt at the slightest threat of snow or ice. So any shortcomings in corrosion protection are exposed here.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Where is our compensation? It's our time and brain power training Google's AI that will one day be sold back to us. I'm really not into this.
Just give consumers the ability to see the actual number or VOIP address that's calling them instead of "Caller ID", even if the number is blocked. Then consumers can accurately create an adblock-like list of spam numbers, block calls from outside their country, etc.
> I have also trained myself to wait a few seconds before clicking the box, which seems to help assert my humanity.

I wonder how many different weird rituals are out there for 'beating' CAPTCHA?

For me, I usually make some effort to keep moving my mouse and being "active" after clicking the box, on the idea that an isolated click event looks less human. It's based on a friend's tip and it seems to help, but I have no confidence that it's actually relevant in such a complex system. I sort of suspect Google has created a new generation of meaningless routines fit to rival historical standouts like sports rituals.
I think the subreddits are a nice solution for that though. There are a lot of very nice and useful niche subreddits.

I agree the frontpage and r/all is a cesspool.
The article does not claim that the SSME is full flow; as described in the quote you pulled, it's fuel-rich.

BE-4 is not full flow, but oxidizer-rich (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staged_combustion_cycle#Oxidiz...).
I use Firefox with containers (so ReCaptcha can’t see my Google cookies) and also uBlock Origin + a few more extensions. I don’t use NoScript or similar. I get the manual test for ReCaptcha pretty much 100% of the time.
