I think this is true, but there is rational for why you would sell the data even if the data is good. On a hypothetical scenario, say there was a great app for checking price comparisons for some esoteric product, or even say televisions. People download the app, and use it in Best Buy, etc. to compare tv prices. The location data therefore might be high quality/relevancy in one situation, but have low frequency and use to be valuable as a single source for advertising/selling to a hedge fund. Therefore, there would be hypothetical value to a data vendor aggregating and normalizing all these small sources into one feed.

In practice, the level and quality could vary significantly, and the difficulty to normalize the feeds could be much harder in practice. If you get data in aggregate from Foursquare and Yelp, potentially it can tell you enough to gauge foot traffic in restaurants, but to your point, it probably can't be used to build an advertising platform.
Here's a hypothesis: people are more likely to buy a product when they see it has a large number of reviews and ultimately Amazon cares about moving product.
Yeah, I'm not doing action photography, so my numbers tend to be much smaller because I don't need to do a lot of bursts.
My previous job had me traveling between Germany and China; during that time, Google's ridiculous localization of search results was becoming unbearable. I ended up permanently overriding my default search engine to point to this URL: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s.

(It broke auto-suggesting search terms in the omnibar, but the actual search results are again sane.)

I've dreamed about having a portable "cyberdeck" similar to this. With computers as small as a Pi Zero and hi-res screens as small as on iPad (ha!), the reality is closer than ever. I definitely plan on creating one after I go over one hurdle: the input device.

Before you read what I have to say next: Yes, I know I could simply get a ThinkPad with an integrated TrackPoint keyboard. I like those a lot and they solve the problem, but I believe a more functional solution is possible.

My goal is to create a custom input device that includes both a joystick mouse and programmable firmware via QMK. While a handy ThinkPad keyboard has several dozens of individual keys, I have found that things like dedicated arrow keys and F-row keys are unnecessary when QMK keymaps give me "layers" to shuffle around custom layouts. A 4x12 key build (48-keys) should be both enough and plenty when the point is to keep my fingers all on the home row anyway.

It's been done before by numerous people in custom builds - creating mine is simply a personal rite of passage. Will submit to HN after completion.

Disclosure: I am a former felon, convicted and sentenced for assaulting a carjacker. pro-tip: never take the public defender.

My question about this whole discussion is this: Whats the point. If prisons are designed as "correctional" facilities, which many good ones are, then you'll obviously move past being a felon and improve your life. If you keep a secret list of people you know have been convicted of a felony, you're tacitly admitting you either dont believe in prisons as an effective tool for correction, or you're looking for something more sinister...biblical retribution

And lets be honest, being a former felon IS a scarlet letter in the US. employers can discriminate against you, housing can discriminate against you in renting and in homeowners covenants, and you can be denied public services like disability and food stamps in some states. Former felons cant vote without a lengthy and expensive process of reinstatement.

Yes, i get that teachers, doctors, and police are certainly important positions, but again, the list. If you're just keeping it as part of their personnel and noting certain positions they shouldnt hold out of an abundance of caution in the face of an indeterminate outcome from mental rehabilitation or incarceration, then perhaps keep it secret. Use it as a blacklist if thats whats required for certain positions. however If you're just looking to shield felons from the inconvenience of incarceration or criminal charges, then reconsider it.

It would be interesting to see what patterns emerge, and what algorithm could be used to detect astroturfing. HN currently uses some kind of opaque detection software.

Well, unless those tomatoes actually were that much better :) I had just that experience one summer with a particular batch of cherry tomatoes I grew.

Are you referring to the release of insulin in response to the intake of sugar? I believe the sugar high may just be a myth perpetuated by both the dopamine reward response, but also parents looking for explanations of children's hyperactivity. Kids are simply de facto hyperactive, there are disordered levels of hyperactivity, but simply: their motor cortex is overdeveloped and overactive relative to their prefrontal cortical control mechanisms (executive functions).

tell that to my previous boss from chicago, his first italian tomato left him speechless and in amazement.

and it wasn't even a biological garden tomato, it was straight off the shelf supermarket tomato.

tastes varies so much by region that for some people the proper taste is alien.

likewise the reverse apply, most italian burger joint serves dry, tasteless mincemeat on buns that couldn't hold a candle to even the basic chains in Ireland, let alone the usa (good ole ricks' how I miss thee)

it's not gatekeeping, it's facing the reality of local produce, local expertise and local competition in mainstream foods as opposed to specialties.
I agree that the EU cannot guarantee peace, of course. However, it really pushed European integration forward. It's a bit mundane, but all the cultural exchange through trade, travelling, student exchange programs and so on has made the kind of war enthusiasm people had in pre-war Europe pretty unlikely. Afterall, I've been to Paris and can confirm that the French are actually people, not baby eaters (classic WW1 propaganda). Though they eat snails. Weird.
Of course, there's also the economic argument: I'm definitely no expert in economics, so I'm talking in very broad and simple terms here (and open to arguments), but the European economies are heavily intertwined through the single market. At least, that makes it institutionally more complicated and more expensive to go to war, which is an achievement, I think.
I agree with the larger point, but the bit about wanting a doctor to be "infallible" doesn't make sense to me. Medicine is not like that. Many common problems are mysterious and often some trial-and-error is needed to figure them out. The patient may have to do some of that sleuthing.

What I'm looking for (ideally) is someone that can get me up to speed quickly on what the problem might be and what's the state of medical knowledge. I don't know how to find that, though.

Or reviews that were transferred over from other products. Here's a case in point:

Over 3000 reviews... most of them for products completely unrelated to the one on sale. I see reviews for a bicycle lamp, a phone screen protector, and a voltage converter.

This seems like a bug. Surely Amazon shouldn't allow sellers to transfer product reviews over from other products?

Yeah, this is very true. I spent 4 years working on, AFAICT, the most widely translated site on the internet, https://www.jw.org. It’s currently at 994 languages. Handling RTL and sign languages is an especially large undertaking that can’t just be swept under the estimation padding rug. But, if your CBA allows for it, it’s well worth it.
Ah, I guess the point I'm missing is that with a 'serverless' setup, the cloud provider must have access to your private key? Unless you use some sort of key server setup (what they call Keyless SSL)
It's even simpler than that: Enterprise just means the people paying for the software are not its users. This is why enterprise software always sucks.
This comment breaks the site guidelines, which ask you not to insinuate astroturfing without evidence. Please don't post like that here; it's a toxic trope that people are nearly always imagining and projecting onto one another. Mind you, your post was far from the worst example of this—but it still needs nipping in the bud.

In this case, the history of the users commenting is enough to make it overwhelmingly unlikely that they were paid, and the well-known propensity of users to comment just on a title clinches it.

Malfunctions in the cells’ protein-disposal machinery can lead to the accumulation of misfolded proteins, which clog up the cell

This actually has implications for genetic disorders.

I inadvertently discovered the value of semi fasting. It's called poverty. I sometimes am too poor to afford good quality food and learned while homeless that eating little or nothing for short periods was better for my health than exposing myself to germs and smoke etc to acquire usually low quality meals at soup kitchens.

I have a genetic disorder. Semi-fasting has really helped my condition to an unexpected degree. (I'm not recommending it for my condition. You first need fat reserves.)

I'm very interested in this research. I hope to eventually have a better understanding of the mechanism whereby this is beneficial.

I don't know the best summary, but the broad strokes are that nonce reuse both destroys confidentiality and allows recovery of authentication keys --- this is an extraordinarily common problem and one attackers can sometimes induce --- as does truncating the GCM MAC, and, if you don't have hardware support for GCM (ie, x64 CLMUL), the table-based version is timable.
As long as browser makers don't support it, this is a non-issue. Correct?

> sudden makes it almost controversial and a hot topic.

Because scientific data suggests it may have health benefits.

Doing intermittent fasting isn't simply skipping breakfast, you have to avoid any calorific consumption during the cycle (e.g. sugar/cream in drinks, snacks, etc). The length of the cycle is also starting to seem important with longer intermittent fasts (or full fasts) being more beneficial to health.

The whole topic remains me of high-intensity interval training (HIIT)[0] in a good way. Both HIIT and IF offer improved health outcomes with minimal investment (both time and effort). They're also scientifically backed. They aren't as effective as their full effort counterparts (e.g. healthy eating, longer exercise), but people seem more willing to try them and they become habits.

"I am in my early 30s. I am wondering if you've been able to do this while making a push for higher weights?"

I'll bet it's not optimal for significant strength gains.

I think it's possible, however, and it's really just a calorie math problem: if you require X calories per day to acquire whatever strength or weight gains you just need to be sure to hit that within 8 or 6 hours.

Which might be challenging, from a digestive standpoint.

I think I use about 3000 calories per day and can get that in two meals (implying a 16 hour fast) without any trouble, but when I do a 24 hour fast (implying one meal) I need to be careful and selective about that one meal ... and I probably go into a net calorie deficit over a 48 hour period as a result...

What's your definition of a "fad diet" vs. "non-fad diet"? I'd say all diets are "fad"... They all have grand claims and "proofs" (as soon as there's money in it, everything turns into advertising for a "magic bullet to solve your problems" including diets), and none of them are scientific (even those that have "studies" - most of which are completely false or inconclusive).

On the other hand, fasting has been practiced for at least 1000 years (Ramadan) so at least it's not harmful...
They're abusing the "color" parameter to be multiple products instead. It's astounding that Amazon has yet to actively prohibit this.
I found myself doing this with coffee. I think it's really easy for our tastebuds to get acclimated to something and once acclimated, you just can't think of anything else as worth consuming. We started buying cheap roasted bulk coffee beans from Amazon, and already I can't be bothered to drink preground coffee or anything with a medium or heavier roast anymore.

I don't feel superior about it though, I feel like my ability to enjoy coffee has been crippled.
I personally believe that the American criminal system is more influenced by the Islamic Sharia system when it comes to punishment.

Under the Islamic Sharia system, the laws are very harsh - you steal and your hand is cut off, you rape someone and you are stoned to death, you commit adultery and you are publicly lashed and so on.

But the Sharia also allows the victim (or their relatives) to forgive the perpetrator (with or without some compensation, usually money) in the spirit of Islam.

The American criminal legal system tries to model something similar - and that is why the punishments for most crimes are absurd too; for e.g. US courts sometimes award absurd punishments of 200 years of jail time. Like the Sharia system, once punishments is awarded and carried out the system ensures you end up broken (in spirit, if not physically).

Where as in a Sharia system the victim decides on being compassionate or a "fair" compensation in lieu of a lesser punishment, in the US system this power is held with the government. And this is used as a bargaining chip to make "deals" with the accused (note that I don't say the guilty, as sometimes even the innocent make such deals afraid of the harsher punishment if they were to lose the trial).

(From what I have read, some of the founding fathers of the US were admirers of the Islamic empire and their political and legal system influenced by Islam).
I had a similar experience working for a food distribution wholesaler in Melbourne. We rode pallet trucks and time pressure was so intense that there were guidelines on the number of steps where it was more efficient to walk next to the pallet truck rather than ride on it. I couldn't keep up and lasted all but 2 weeks. This was 25 years ago and it's disappointing nothing has changed.
> I'm curious why it didn't work out

I worked at a multi-platform UNIX software vendor back then, and did the project of compiling our products to ANDF. At one point I counted 20 distinct UNIX variants that we had in our office (all workstations).

It was believed that UNIX systems complied with government procurement standards (eg this is where POSIX is relevant), but there were always bugs and differences in behaviour. In C code this is handled by #if pre-processor directives to adapt as needed. ANDF required turning that into runtime if statements instead. (An example would be if there were two different network interface calls depending on platform.) That would have been a herculean task and was in same places impossible such as the same API taking different numbers of parameters on different platforms. The ANDF compiler would have to pick one for its header files.

Even something like endianess is usually handled by #if and not an if statement, so you can see just how much effort would be needed just to have it compile. You still had to do all the multi-platform installation instructions and testing, so no one had an incentive to make things more complicated.

Java killed ANDF stone dead. While Java was most prominent for applets in the browser, it also competed with C++ on the backend. C++ compilers cost a lot of money, had licensing daemons that locked you to one platform, and implemented different subsets of the C++ standard and library. Java was more forgiving and the JVM provided standard features like multi-threading and networking. You will also note that Sun spent a lot of effort to keep Java standard.

Assuming they can't compel speech, this would require the canary to be updated and PGP signed daily by someone that can represent the company. Perhaps a principal officer or a board member?

Even then, unless your contract states that the canary is managed in a particular way, they can simply lie. I can put a "canary" on a site and update it daily, even if every three letter agency were logged in and watching you real time. A recent example of this was that VPN provider that stated they don't log anything. Turned out they did and someone got nailed.
