The problem is that it's a direct result of their business model & environment. I would think they could fix it (or at least put a big dent in it) immediately if they ditched the recommendation engines, autoplay and other tricks to keep people watching. But they can't to do that, because of the choices they made 2-5 years ago.
Raccoon, the APK Downloader for Google Play, Now Supports App Bundles
If you buy them through Google Domains you need your Google account to renew domains, set nameservers etc, which is why these other registrars should be used.

This same argument actually dates back years for not using your web host for your domain registrar, because of contrived problems hindering domain transfers.
In the Tweet about one of the counterfeits, Bill Pollock says:

> Images of counterfeit copies of Python for Kids being sold on Amazon. Legit copies are thicker, color, layflat binding, nicer paper

I've noticed on occasion my local Barnes & Noble will have two copies of a book and one will be noticeably thicker than the other. Same edition, same cover art, same number of pages, but one just seems to be on thicker paper.

I've only noticed this in the computer section, but I generally only visit that section, other STEM sections, science fiction, and graphic novels, and of those only the computer section is likely to have multiple copies of books that are thick enough that a difference in thickness would be noticeable while browsing, so there may be selection bias here.

Does this mean counterfeits are even making their way onto bookstore shelves? Or do some publishers have a range of paper sizes they might use for a give book, and what is actually used varies from print run to print run?
I always thought "faux pas" was the "old school" way of spelling it, similar to "neighbour" versus "neighbor". Spell-checkers usually accept "fopas". Hmmm, interesting linguistic mystery.
and Youtube is a breeding and feeding ground for those conspiracies. More and more extreme content creates emotional reactions, clicks and binds attention therefore it is recommended frequently to optimise the only metric that matters for youtube: the time you spent on their platform - no matter what.

Rinse and repeat. Never gets old.
It is impossible to say what people do or don't believe, but I worked with a guy who would argue the earth was flat. His massive knowledge into the conspiracies and complete lack of knowledge about physics was a constant issue.

Oh, we worked on a project computing link budgets for geo stationary communication satellites. So the company made all of their money off of satellites, and he could completely disconnect from that.
It's surprisingly-difficult to get into this in the US. But I imagine it to be very satisfying for the reasons you suggest.

Chronic illness demographics - particularly for diseases of inflammation - have exploded in the last fifty years, outpacing the supply of doctors and then some. The need is now bottomless, and it is in fact a need.
Thank you for this comment, I've forwarded it to some new parents in my life. It reminds me of this quote from Heinlein:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
I can't actually walk, so no thanks. But no, you haven't irritated me enough to be a concern, and I agree, the effort to convince someone who has no wish to understand is more than I can spare.
Ask HN: What Software Projects Need Thousands of Developers?
I often see references on HN to projects which have 100s or 1000s of developers. I don't have personal experience with this so I'm curious: Is this necessary at some scale, or is this often a side effect of some underlying problem? Or both/neither depending on the situation?
I don't see how what I wrote is a what-if example. Maybe you can clarify more and I'll do as well.

The person who I know suffering gender dysphoria has been pursuing medical assistance in dying in Canada. She has been seeking it by going to Doctors for multiple years and with a psychiatrist following her.

She is a rational person who approaches it as any other chronic illness with tremendous pain. She deeply expresses how the majority of her life was stolen from her because of the illness and not being able to obtain treatment young for it because of parental figures & bad doctors.

She believes she is valid in getting the procedure to end her life compared to anyone else. Doctors will tell her she has valid points but will refuse to say much and skirt her out of their offices whenever they have a chance. She is not irrational.

I know for a fact the belief of everyone should continue living because the "what if game of it may get better" is irrational. She has had her life stolen from her and continues to live in pain but for the chance to have some humanity given to her (a safe way to die). She usually doesn't eat anything to divert her conscious to starving and where she will not focus on much. I'm a co-worker/friend of hers.
What I find interesting is what he says he loses by doing so.

60000 followers.

No word about losing business. Or interesting discussions. Or inspiration. Or meeting likeminded people. Or getting feedback. Or anything.

I think many people come to this conclusion over time. That the number of social media followers is just a number. With little to no real world impact.
Our society is premised on the idea of free exchange of ideas. Some will freely choose to think/do/believe things we find insane (some cults/religions/jobs).

The premise of this article is that these videos are going to brainwash/hypnotize poor fools into believing crazy things.

Newspapers need to win not be being the only voice in the room, but by being the most relevant, clear, researched, reliable, unbiased voice in the room.
as no one really believes the earth is flat, it's just attention seeking behavior and trolling.

You're underestimating the stupidity of a vast portion of the population. There are plenty of people who believe not only that the earth is flat but many other conspiracy theories as well. Dismissing it as trolling is naive.
I've heard the phrase "bottomless well of need" -- exactly that phrase --from more than one of my family members in the medical profession, all of whom are caring to the point of self-sacrifice. It's a vivid, pointed, and completely accurate description of a significant minority of patients who present a real challenge to doctors and nurses.

My brother-in-law is an ER doc. He treats an alarmingly high number of patients who threaten to sue him if he's not willing to give them his phone number, write an immediate referral, or prescribe opioids. These are patients with real pain, real problems, who are understandably desperate for relief, and who are easily capable of completely dominating a doctor's time and attention.

The implication of an obvious disdain for humanity here is pretty uncharitable. Just as it's difficult to relate to chronic disease from the outside, I think it's difficult to relate to the challenges of treating and caring for the afflicted.
It's a different article and different source. According to 'past' it's a unique submission.
Seems like the video talked about wanting to make it into an internet communication network, which just doesn't seam feasible to me.

Then again, I'm just a programmer. I recognize I have no grasp of the power requirements for that kind of project.

The inexpensive nature of them seems a major draw. I wonder if they can detach cables and have the wings fly home on their own while having the center parachute down?
Seems highly unlikely that there’s any actual secretive insider trading happening here. It would be a HUGE risk for practically no gain, distributed across many individuals, committed by primarily people who wouldn’t stand to benefit. The firm should probably switch to vanguard or whatever... but the existence of this hedge fund does not mean the firm is using its insider knowledge maliciously. Most consultants won’t even know what other people on their team is working on, and most are in and out after 2 years.

The article buried the mitigating factor in the middle of the article. Hedge fund managers don’t coordinate with consultants, and 90% of MIO’s capital is managed by outside funds, including this one the article is about.

The problem mckinsey faces is that they consult for everyone.
In this case amazon produced, stored, and shipped counterfeit goods.

Even if not true, very far from "far fetched".

Totally plausible, and in some cases (certain malicious apps etc, on Android or jailbroken iPhone) totally true.
All the TV news networks then as well, right? Everyone who plays video of the Republicans spouting lies about the world, without directly commenting how wrong it is, would be equally guilty? More guilty?

This stuff starts with Authority. on Live TV. Not some rando youtube channels.
Indeed. At least for professional criminals.

So this approach will just ensnare random innocents, who happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Edit: Upon reflection, it's worse. Being aware of this approach, professional criminals could capture IMEIs in the target area for a while, write some SIMs, and carry some cloned phones during the operation. Then destroy all of those SIMs. So the police will target the people whose phones were cloned.
Yeah, well, he is too old now.

It probably wasn't a good choice for them to use the word "tethered" in the name.

It might not be incorrect, but tethered means you are connected to something. In this case, that something is the aircraft itself. Self is not the first thing most people are going to think of when they hear the word tethered. Especially since, as you point out, there are already aircraft that are tethered to the ground.
Depends how you define "dictionary". See below.

> The "add project" link on the FAQ page 404s: https://www.codeshelter.co/faq/

Fixed, thanks for the heads up (there was an inopportune line break).

> How would this project approach FOSS projects that were abandoned, then sort-of-picked-up by another maintainer, but with no actual continued development?

The idea is that Code Shelter increases the bus factor, ie if the developer (or developers) of a project all drop off, there's a way for people to continue the project through Code Shelter.

What will usually happen is that a CS member will be interested in a project and notice that it's unmaintained. If the project is already in CS, they can just start maintaining it, or ask the maintainer to add it to CS. Since maintainers are volunteers, there's no guarantee that someone will take the project up, but the aim is to have a large enough pool of both maintainers and projects that matching is frequent.
I'm really struggling to think of creative and abstract jobs that meet all of the following criteria:

1) Take place in a typical corporate setting--which is the context here, nobody's asking studio musicians to do stand-ups.

2) Have 0 artifacts of progress being made. Even brand design goes through iterations.

3) Are so abstract that it's impossible to distill your thought process into a small summary each day

If it's really impossible to summarize what you did all day, I'm going to question if you were actually doing anything at all.
Here's [0] the conclusion of a paper on optimizing population sizes in genetic algorithms:

> The use of smaller populations result in lower accuracy of the solution, obtained for a smaller computational time. The further increase of the population size increases the accuracy of solution. This effect is observed to a population size of 100 chromosomes. The use of larger populations does not improve the solution accuracy and only increase the needed computational resources.

The same effect may be what this article is describing, applied to culture. As the audience grows, the neural resources applied to judgement grow, but after a point the accuracy does not. A larger population does not translate into a more thorough search of the solution space compared to the same population divided into smaller niches that do not communicate.

I doubt it would be a great improvement to divide the population back down to the tiny tribes of prehistory, but the optimum is likely somewhere between that and our global melting pot.

Inclusion is a modern creed and battle cry, but to a point exclusion also has its place in increasing innovation, in that it creates independent niches that each attempt to climb different maxima.

This landrush is different.

Try putting a one-character .dev domain in your cart (0.dev is available as of now). It's not a lump sum plus $12/year. It's thousands every year after registration.

In a way, I guess this is useful for deterring "domainers".

Even a 4-letter word or name .dev is hundreds of dollars a year. I wonder if the annual fee will drop as the days go by or just the purchase price.
.test is OK, but as was pointed out in the HN discussion on this topic last week, .localhost is problematic in some operating systems.
I'm not familiar with all of the details of how domain registration works, but will these always have to go through Google?

I'm interested in buying one, but not from them.
Do TLDs even matter? I'm working on building a professional blog, and although a .dev TLD seems appropriate, using a cheaper one like .co or .be, or even .io seems functionally identical and a lot less costly. Paying hundreds or thousands for .dev seems like paying for pure vanity.

Is it going to help people reach your site? I kinda doubt it. Will Google use it to index your site differently? Maybe, but I dunno. I hope not, but it would kind of make sense.
How is that a "vulnerability?"

It doesn't let you do anything with it (except short the failed company's stock, but who didn't know Tesla is dead man walking) and a little bit of extra transparency may make Mr Must more honest.

Thanks for the main library link. The architecture is beautiful but does anyone agree that from the outside the building looks pretty similar to the building of California Academy Of Sciences?
For me as a computer scientist with interest in medicine (using Deep Learning to beat humans in detecting diseases), this was a cool finding pointing to a possible algorithmic reason behind schizophrenia. Now it might be just a small part of the puzzle, intertwined with other mechanisms we don't understand with overly complex interactions, not mentioning it likely misses other, completely different diagnoses sharing the same label.

So yes, your questions are perfectly adequate, though for me personally that finding is exciting, as I can potentially apply supercomputing on that problem.
Kinda weird that Google issued itself web.dev and opensource.dev

It feels like those would've been better suited for non-profit orgs

I find the lack of subtlity in the architecture kind of off-putting, it is as if it wants to be in your face and grab you by your eyeballs. There is a quite grandeur in many building designs that subscribe to an austere concern for functionality.
But does the money come from Microsoft or from GitHub?

In a lot of the large companies I've worked, money is siloed from one operating unit to the next. They would send bills between units and sometimes even departments.

The larger the company, the more common this seemed. It's not one giant piggy bank.
The responsible news networks really do put some effort into verifying claims and confronting politicians, sometimes the moment they claim it, and they do filter who gets on...

Well, first off, YouTube is a private corporation, not subject to free-speech laws.

Second, while I agree that YouTube shouldn't ban people for believing in conspiratorial nonsense, even if I do think it's harmful, it's not unreasonable that their algorithm should bias things that are fact-based, or at least not contributing to a toxic platform. It's hard to argue that any good came from Alex Jones posting the addresses of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, and it doesn't create a fascist dystopia when YouTube doesn't want to promote something like that.

Also, I wouldn't be 100% sure that all the flat-earthers are trolling. There's an overwhelming amount of stupid people in the world, and while I will say that most of them are probably messing around, at least some are serious. At some level, I think it's far too easy for people to say "I'm just trolling" after the fact.

That may be asking too much of a programming language not intended for AI.

What I see between each approach is tradeoffs. Which one has the net benefit may ultimately depend on personality, domain, and shop practices. It's one of those architectural holy wars that may never end.

The dirty open secret that seems to be implied whenever anyone writes about this is that no-one's actually working for those whole 40 hours, or even close. Basically, "work expands to fill the available time" (Parkinson's Law[0]). And there's only 30 or so hours' worth of actual expected work in a -- typical -- week. So, conclusion, drop the illusion and give people back the time that they'd otherwise be spending unproductively "on the clock".

[0]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law
Yes, although there are ways to reduce it (perhaps in a way similar to POSTNET; this would reduce the space taken up but require more fill in at once). But you do not have to fill it in right away you can do so after the game is finish
While I understand where you are coming from, the iPhone 4 was announced in 2010[1].

I believe a more apt comparison would be my current situation with an iPhone 6 which came out in 2014[2]. It works perfectly fine, albeit with a new battery. I do not plan on upgrading to any iPhone past the 6 unless the headphone jack comes back (my major personal gripe).

I like this. I think you have a better interpretation than my initial one.

If it is sort of probability based than it can't be right or wrong, just sort of incomplete until we observe the consequences of the action. More often than not the scout will probably be right, and I can concede that. But that doesn't imply that the soldier will always be wrong either.
