Interesting idea but why pay for a container, when I can use docker hub with updates for free?

Will have to see this idea implemented to see the value a bit clearer
First, there's a lot of science that's done without "experiments".

Second, the problem with significance is it's pinning "not just some random noise" to an arbitrary threshold. Results with a p-value of 0.051 and those with a p-value of 0.049 are effectively the same, and yet are treated as if they're worlds apart.
The best response to having to do dumb work like this is to automate it with regex, bash (and possibly an unzipping tool - aren't word documents zipped xml?) and take the time that people previously gave you to do the task to tweak your scripts and learn things you find interesting. I got through my dumbest student jobs that way, which was almost all of my student jobs.

It's not default behavior for a client side router. Making it automatically scroll to the top would save you a few lines of code while creating a monumental headache for those who need it to retain the scroll position.
In general, you can't take a strictly advisory referendum with a win margin of a couple % to dictate your international policy for decades.

More specifically, when the winning side has committed campaign violations and the UK's own National Crime Agency has found illegal foreign interference, maybe you should investigate further instead of driving head on. If you ask me, this was the "assault on democracy", not the "do-over" approach as you wrote.

On do-overs - the Prime Minister is pushing to have a third vote on the exact same deal with the EU, after her proposal was rejected twice by the members in the course of a couple of weeks. So it's especially concerning when do-overs in parliament can happen until the government gets the desired result, while at the same time the people aren't given a chance to vote again and the outcome of the referendum is considered final.
Not that it detracts from your point, but I definitely benefited from notetaking on my computer in school. For an AP History class, I typed up—in outline style (I, II; A, B; 1, 2; a, b; etc)—all my notes on the required reading. At the end of the course, I had a few hundred pages of these notes all printed up.

I never had to go back and read any of them. Just the process of typing them up in the first place firmly fixed all the knowledge in my mind. When taking the final and AP test, I could see the notes I had taken in my mind.

Writing or typing didn’t make a difference. Just the rephrasing and condensing alone was enough. (Which, again, reënforces your point. I still had to consciously avoid “pass-thru” regurgitation)
It's the 'this' that does it.

'Kid' is baity too, but there are degrees.
No. I'm one of the signatories, and an epidemiologist.

First, the authors are well-known in the area. Sander Greenland is a major figure in epidemiology methods, etc.

Second, there's been a push there, historically, to get rid of p-values because the field is primarily more focused on effect estimation, rather than pure hypothesis testing, so p-values are particularly poorly suited.
In much the same way most people don't care at all about advertising modals save for maybe a grunt meant to signify some annoyance, most people don't care about cookie popups.
They're claiming an 87% increase in throughput - what exactly could they have changed to achieve that? If it's a Linux/hardware thing, all EC2 instances would be claiming this. What can you possibly change outside of Redis that would suddenly give a huge speed bump to Redis?
The government and the PM promised they would honor the result of the vote and carry it out. They sent a leaflet with this promise to every door in the UK. They vote may not be legally binding, but the government is morally obliged to carry it out.

The question was clear and circumstances of art. 50 were known ahead of the vote. People voted to Leave the EU, not to leave conditionally with a deal or in name only. Cameron explained what leaving the EU means - to leave its customs union and single market. Anything less than that is contemptuous of the voters.
The problem is, what does 'leave' actually mean? Before the referendum a range of options were discussed. We could have soft Brexit, hard Brexit, we could stay in the single market and end freedom of movement. I don't ever recall a no deal Brexit being seriously mooted as an option.

Fast forward to December 2018, the PM has what is basically a hard Brexit option on the table, everything Brexiteers should want. It was negotiated without input from parliament, and then presented as a fait accompli. It failed to pass, it part due to Brexiteers who want an even more extreme Brexit. It was voted on again with minimal changes and still failed.

As things stand an indicative vote rejecting a no deal had been passed, that seemingly has been ignored by the PM.
An indicative vote, that if the deal wasn't agreed by parliament by today, a longer (past 30th June) delay should be asked for. Again ignored by the PM.
The PM hasn't held any indicative votes on what parliament would support, was on TV complaining about MPs that she expects to support her deal last night.

Shes been playing party politics, chasing the votes of her own extremist Brexiteers, rather than looking around and talking to the opposition, who are united on at least a softer Brexit.

The failure of democracy at this point is of the PMs making (and the labour leader isn't any better), and nothing to do with the referendum.
Yeah, this also jumped at me. I think that when copy writters make that kind of claim it really hurts the credibility of the entire copy, and you start to wonder where else they're exaggerating.
Wow, it takes something to make Philips Hue look cheap. I'll stick to those, which I can fill several rooms with for the same price.

Ah, thanks. Didn't remember that that project was called. Would be interesting if AWS just decided to move their entire Redis installations to a non standard distribution.
Maybe not, but commenters here are still asked to do better.

The whole time I was reading I was interested in what they chose to do... a lot of build up and no solution :/

Maybe they did recompile the games for backwards compatibility, maybe they do have an emulator, IDK, but I want to know how they would have fixed this issue.
I've noticed in the past year or two that spammers have begun using area codes from the handful of friends & family I receive the most calls from, and not just my own area code. It stands out because at least a couple of those area codes aren't from major metropolitan areas.

I don't use social media like Facebook or Twitter, but most likely an app on my phone or others' phones sold my contact info. I try to avoid installing third-party apps. Since I began using smart phones, I could count the number on two hands. But it only takes one bad app, and there are plenty out there.

I don't doubt telco call logs are available on the black market, but apps are the simplest and most likely vector.

I'm rather skeptical of going after Google and other big tech companies for anti-trust violations. The web is a big place. But it's much easier to distinguish Google's control of Android and the Android app market, both from a technical and legal perspective. And Google has deliberately made it difficult to limit app data access. I remember the brief period where Android by default provided a prompt of requested permissions and the ability to uncheck them before installing. They removed it because few people made use of it, few apps worked correctly without all their requested permissions, and most importantly Google was no longer worried about privacy concerns hindering Android adoption. But with the current attention being given to data privacy I believe the public is finally prepared to make effective use of such a capability. But now Google has even less incentive to provide such a simple and transparent opt-out prompt, so fat chance they'll bring it back without being legally forced. Tripe fat chance they'll make any of those permissions opt-in.
Music is extremely sensitive for timings, but when it comes to visuals you seem to adapt quickly and tolerate lag up to 1/10s, how is that !? And what about "hidden" messages in videos (running as low as 30 FPS!) ? That only the subconscious can process. It seems that our human image processing only runs at around 30-60 FPS when idle, but can increase in stressful situations. I recall a study where people bungy jumping was able to read something off a clock during a jump, but not when safely on the ground.

I wouldn't trust my life to proprietary software, because its makers' motives obviously don't align with my own. If my safety was really paramount, they'd open their software to scrutiny.

It's unethical to leave life-and-death decisions to a black-box algorithm, when I know it was written for the primary purpose of gathering more money. Safety is a constraint, not their goal.

The guidelines use the term "name calling" in a somewhat different sense, basically referring to pejoratives that can be taken out of a comment without loss of information. "Stupid" counts as name-calling in that sense, even though you weren't calling anyone names in particular.

It must have been ten years ago now that I first listened to Richard Stallman's talk called "Copyright vs Community". It's a really enlightening talk and makes it clear how much worse copyright has become over the years. It makes me incredibly sad to see it now regressing even further.

We're already at a point where copyright severely restricts our ability to share our own culture. A couple of years ago we lost what was, by far, the greatest music collection ever put together. Meticulously maintained by people who love music, but destroyed by people who love money. It pains me that people can't even put up YouTube videos with certain music in the background. People can't record their actual lives because parts of their life are owned by other people.

Copyright belongs in the day of the printing press. It has long out stayed its welcome.
Understood. Google Translate does a formidable job of rendering the story in English, so I’ve resubmitted the translation.
Unless it gets 17.5+ million votes, it'll likely just get referred back to https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/239706#debate-thres.... It'll be interesting to see the response if it does gets 17.5+ votes even if not an official validated poll. Got my vote anyway, miracles may happen.

Whatever happens, the UK is a divided, broken country and will be for some time. It'll take years to finally come through and fix the damage regardless of the outcome of Brexit.
Laws are for people, not companies. Thinking about startups before discussing it's impact on your fellow people is frankly a very worrying trend.

Innovation implies improvement! My primary metric is ease of use and long term scalability, but so is constant improvement and upgradation in features. A rich text editor isnt improvement, its bloatware.
>> A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked...

Unless the system had an intelligent designer behind it from the beginning. ;p

There is a general truth to the statement but I'm not sure that it's consistent enough to be a law.

Sometimes things can get overly complex and disfunctional in spite of having evolved to that point. Just look at the state of front end development today; TypeScript, WebAssembly, app bundling, Source Mapping, GraphQL, Protocol Buffers, gRPC... Most of these projects try to make things simpler by adding complexity; that's not possible. It's just madness and all that complexity does rear its ugly head from time to time in pretty much every project but developers just blame themselves instead of realizing that the root problem is the tooling.
We mostly treat those as off topic too except in rare cases. If a news story is significant enough to appear on HN, there is almost always (or soon will be) an English language article about it that can be submitted directly.

But I appreciate your desire to submit a relevant story and will leave that one unmoderated.

The bank needs to check you're actually employed where you said you are, to make sure you've got a stable income to reliably pay your mortgage. Otherwise you're a huge liability.
VAT and a vast majority of the laws surrounding commerce at least are simple and have been abstracted away by various platforms ages ago. I invite you to read up on the subject and revise your stance (your premise may or may not be true, I will not claim to know either way) based on something that is actually true.
Looking at the events that lead up to the financial crash, not much you'd think. What with people putting mortgages on their dogs and whatnot.
I agree. It actually demonstrates nicely that there is a European community, that isn't organizing itself via the media, but through social media like reddit and twitter (and partially facebook). r/europe, for example, is a surprisingly influential entity with lots of AMAs with proponents and opponents of Article 13. And many less interesting meme chains as well...

And as the corruption of the Leave campaign was exposed plus the promises of easy negotiations vanished the government was morally obliged to renegotiate with a British public that appears to have changed its mind. Particularly now the actual terms of leaving and their consequences are more clear. Not drive the UK off a cliff.
He sure did have an interesting life. He came out to California to marry and ended up staying a while. There’s a state park just north of San Francisco named after him.

I now use org-mode to do my notes it pretty much removes the need to write non math latex and when you have to write math you just inline the latex. And because I also write my assignments in the same file I can generate a nice latex file with everything I have written doing the course.
"do-overs"

Yes it really is quite stunning, how the PM can divine such a specific meaning from one openly worded vote to the people. But can't seem to understand 600+ MPs all shouting at her "No" repeatedly for the last X months.

The thing to do here is to read everything this person has said and to take in the bigger picture of what they are trying to say. Focusing on the details like this is doing yourself a disservice, because it makes it look like you don't have the skills they taught you in school.
Oddly enough, my brain associated "Kid" and "9 Years" from the title and I assumed a young child built a detailed Boeing paper plane. A "9 year old kid" makes perfect sense to me.

I was slightly confused when the video began. (Both by the level of detail a 9 year old kid could achieve and then the age of the "kid"!)
The point is well taken that doing such things should be rare and done very carefully.
Ask HN: Is anyone else looking to increase cold email conversion rates from 4%?
I currently partner with the ceo of a series D stage venture. We're investing heavily in our SDR (sales dev rep) program to help with inbound interest and outbound sales. However, neither sender nor recipient likes cold email. With the result, response rates are 2%- 4%. we then tried a couple of things that took that rate up to 17%. There's a product that can be built here, but I don't know if this is solving a big enough problem for enough people?

The things we tried were 1) keyword mapping our SEO keywords with the target's own language on linkedin and 2) relationship mapping to see who at our venture is best suited to reach out to prospect.

So the question is, would a tool like this solve a pain point for you?
People commit far more serious crimes in public parks than could ever be committed on a website. Is that a reason to close or marginalize public parks?

Why not enforce the law on websites in a similar way: by arresting those responsible for illegal activity instead of attacking the venue?
You don't and can't know this and it is obvious because you are speculating about a future fact. It would help all of us if you couched it as such so that no reader can be deluded into thinking you have based your arguments on the kind of certainty that they seem to be based on.
> I'm pretty sure that if you asked people whether they would prefer to pay for Facebook and Google with cash or by sharing data for ad targeting, most would choose the latter. The GDPR specifically forbids that option.

Do you have a source for that?
Is the web (all its corresponding data) public or private?

Answering that question determines how data flows and thus what's currently wrong. Answering that question also predicts why an alternative web would equally fail to achieve separate merits.

Why does the conversation always devolve into "go live in a cave"? Surely you must agree that there is a spectrum of possibilities, and the further along it one can be the better? Eating mostly vegetarian food, driving as little as possible, owning as little tech as possible, having as few children as one can. These would have seemed to me to be relatively uncontroversial opinions.

The implications of all these comments seems to be that it's perfectly OK to buy Airpods every two to three years for decades to come, because there are other avenues in which we are also fucking the environment.
> the people most vocal against Article 13 are those who want to leech other people's creations for free

If we're going to be completely honest here, this is constructed as a personal attack and therefore doesn't merit the storage it takes up.
> So do it for me.

I think this will work:

Put this wherever you put your reusable functions:

`const scrollToTop = () => document.getElementById('root').scrollIntoView();`

And put this in the components / functions you want the scrollToTop effect to work on:

`useEffect(() => { scrollToTop() }, []);`

And put this in your CSS:

`html { scroll-behavior: smooth }`

(Edit to add: Not saying React Router is something you should / shouldn’t use. Just wanted to share that code in case it helps unblock anyone.)
Cambridge, London, Bristol. The same people who voted to stay. What a surprise.
Is enforcing copyright censorship? I am not being antagonistic as I have actually no idea what is in this new law.
This is what you call eventual consistency.
I agree significance is mis-used, but in the opposite way than these authors. They are concerned that authors claim "non-significant" means "no effect," I see a lot of authors claiming "significant" means "causal effect." They don't account for the consequences of running multiple tests, and of endogeneity.

Differences between means of any two groups (e.g. treatment and control) on any outcomes will tend be non-zero. Interpreting this sample difference as a population difference without considering confidence interval seems risky.
It doesn't do that, because you don't need to toe the line.
I was disappointed by the implementation of the 'decentralized' bit. It's basically establishing a point to point connection between browsers using a representation of client address.
Don't know what to tell you, except my experience didn't match yours. The only special thing I do to care for them is to fold them in figure-of-eights so that there isn't much stress on the cables when stowed.

Because it is expected that they are as neutral as possible. People should advocate for encyclopedias, but they should not have opinions themselves. That impression can be argued to be wrong, of course.
But if you don't want to risk future upgrades, you could also just not upgrade?

I think react-router in particular have been pretty good about sending this message with past major version changes.
What is your brilliant solution then? It's rather simple. There are billions of us on the planet. You cannot have them all live the standard American lifestyle full of chromecasts and Apple Homepods and use-and-dispose Airpods.

The best that I can think of is minimizing my impact. This heavily involves minimal tech.
I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't remove the content completely, using 302-redirects. I'm using uBlock origin, and the whole website looks like a mess.

"Cameron explained what leaving the EU means - to leave its customs union and single market"

Which was written off as project fear.

We were told we could have any relationship we wanted with Europe. The one thing I don't recall being suggested, was a no deal Brexit, as the 'true' Brexiteers now seem to want.

The question was unfortunately not clear, which is why we are in this mess. It was predicated on remain winning. The leave vote wasn't for anything, it was against the EU. That just excludes one specific relationship.

Alchemy was their String Theory. A long shot, but not obviously false at the time.
Lucky indeed. Who hasn't dreamt of being a stenographer for Math lectures in grad school, using the hardest tools for the job, including the most obscure window manager known to Linux. I mean, if one don't kill a week getting bspm to work on their laptop, is lecture note taking even worth it?
