Fair point, but I think the headline is more effective this way and, unlike most things I'd label as clickbait, the payoff in the article is satisfying enough that I don't feel tricked.

The way I think of clickbait is this: You should always write the most effective headline you can, which I'd measure in terms of the click-thru rate. But if the content doesn't pay off, I'll stop trusting you.

For example, I'll gladly click any clickbait from Cracked because their articles almost always pay off. If they say they have 23 surprising things, you can bet there will be 23 things that surprise me. By contrast, I'd never click a BuzzFeed link because they spent years proving their headlines never pay off.

Update: You know, it's cool if you need to downvote things, but it'd be helpful if you had the courage to comment on why you're downvoting. I don't care about the points (it's just gamification folks), but my obsessive brain is now wondering who I offended and how. Is it for disliking BuzzFeed? For liking Cracked? For suggesting clickbait-style headlines can be justified? For thinking this particular headline was justified? It reminds me of an old job I had where everyone in the company did an annual evaluation of everyone else in the company, anonymously. We just rated people, with no ability to explain why we gave them that rating. It ended up serving no instructive purpose and was just a way of finding out how many people hated you.
That's just ridiculous. The Web was supposed to be a marketplace of ideas. If you don't like the ideas, you're free to come up with your own. Censorship is not the answer. And alt-right is a reaction to the total beat down that less extreme reform movements such as the TEA Party and to a lesser extent, libertarians, tried to offer. The IRS was used to kill the TEA Party and now we find out John McCain was a major factor in why those targeted audits took place.

Republicans just wanted their party back from the RINO assholes. I watched what happened with my own eyes--the RINO/GOPe played very dirty pool because they love big government, Big Brother, huge "defense" spending waste, pollution, misery, and total domination. In short, they're assholes and they doubled down when challenged. So now you get "alt-right" and you're fucking complaining about it!
> What new wealth is being created by purchase with intent to rent vs purchase with intent to occupy vs the builder offering the building for rent?

There is value being created here in the market for risk, flexibility, and capital allocation. Residents who prefer to rent rather than take on the commitment of ownership also capture some of this surplus.

I don’t understand anything about quantum physics and yet somehow your comment is more bewildering than the article. WTF you on about?
Extremely powerful comic strip.

My mom is a nurse at a large research hospital, and the stories I hear give me extreme respect for nurses and doctors and the decisions/conversations they have to have. It's incredible what they have to deal with physically and emotionally on a day-to-day basis.
The morality of such choices is complicated.

Airbags and, to a lesser degree, ABS definitely add substantial costs to cars. So it wasn't entirely unreasonable to ask customers for extra money. Yet subsequently, as they became cheaper and proved their potential to safe lives, they became mandatory. If I had been in a position to make decisions on this, I believe I would have argued for charging costs only for these features. Volvo's publicly announced decision not to enforce its patent on seat belts is example of a company with a mindset that goes beyond pure profit.

Judging Boeing's strategy here obviously requires a better idea of what they were charging and the actual costs of installing these features.

There may well be an argument that these systems are not comparable to airbags, but rather "pay us $X,XXX extra, and your car will not have a 10% chance of randomly blowing up".
And because, especially these days, (at least some) cities disproportionately attract single people who mostly rent and then buy a house in the suburbs when they start a family.
I use ctrl+[ myself.
If someone doesn't have enough money to buy a house, they can move in and rent it. They get to live in a house that is nicer than what they can afford right now.

I don't know much about the housing market, but arguing from theory, if the new build market is restricted to _only_ people who can afford to buy a house, that might be a much smaller group of people than individuals who want to live in the area but just cannot afford the cost of building a house. Renting is good for that not-enough-to-buy group.

For example, I couldn't afford to live in a city if I had to own my own home. I don't have that much money on hand. I'd rather rent land from a landlord than money from a bank. At least the landlord is carrying the risk.
Why would you think they haven’t thought about it? Sounds like a great plan.
Pure curiosity: have they tested that in court, or do they tie it to an API EULA or something?

I thought one of the big takeaways of the recent LinkedIn court case was, "if you're making it publicly available online, you can't use the law to distinguish between scrapers and regular people." And it doesn't seem like an aggregator would be breaking any copyright laws just by linking to content.
There's not only a light, the article mentions that the MCAS will also take readings from both sensors and be disabled if they disagree too much.

I did, but TBH, I think that makes me (and most of HN) part of the economic class cities want to keep out of their culture, and I don't blame them.
It is also under cutting the price that gas fired power stations need to be profitable. Since South Australia doesn't have coal or nuclear baseline generation any more we may see what happens when a state goes 100% renewable pretty soon.

The answer on the few hot days this year has been "plunging neighboring states into blackouts".

Not sure about Amsterdam, but property prices in Vancouver and Toronto are heavily driven by the middle class over-extending themselves on credit with a little help from “The Bank of Mom” on the down payment.

From your link: "Incidents of left-wing terrorism dropped off at the end of the Cold War (circa 1989), partly due to the loss of support for communism.[14]"

Conversely, there was an incident of right wing terrorism just last week. This follows a trend of increasing right-wing terrorist activity: https://www.start.umd.edu/pubs/START_IdeologicalMotivationsO...

Yes, left wing terrorism exists, but today people are increasingly associating terrorism with right-wing ideologies because it's in our face and happening with increasing frequency. It's the same reason one might associate terrorism with Islam in 2001.

Hi HN,

I'm Gaurav, the creator of Gratia. Gratia began as a research project at IIIT Bangalore where we were experimenting with social networks and influence and engagement of individuals. One of our core findings was that existing social networks ignore lurkers/observers as being important. All the focus is on users who create content, upvote/like, share or comment. Users are known and measured by how much karma/upvotes/comments they receive, ignoring the lurkers who may not have done any of the actions but merely spent some time viewing the content.

This behaviour compels users to perform one of the actions for their presence to have some effect on the measuring points of other users. This is very different from real life where observers form an important part of communities.

For our research, we built a prototype pre-print management social network for researchers, similar to arxiv/researchgate incorporating our findings. The amount of time people spend on a research publication/pre-print is counted as a point to the author of that pre-print. This gives a deeper insight about how engaging your content was, compared to other metrics like upvote, views etc.

We are opening this out to the world. Please give your feedback.
Agree. Also, "billion" is ambiguous across countries. So, 10^{-9} would have been great (or is it 10^{-12}?).
Taxes and HOA just get rolled up into the rent. It's not like those aren't already impacting the price because the landlord must be the one to pay the money.
That, my friend, would be abusing their monopoly position.

Google hoovers up all the data and tells their partners they can't do this too? The antitrust regulators would have a field day.
It hasn't. I still hear it occasionally, and use it myself.
For large-scale solar you need batteries, and batteries do not follow this kind of cost curve.

Countries that are truly interested in sustainable energy production should be building nuclear power plants. France & Germany will come to deeply regret their decisions to decommission old reactors and not build new ones, since nuclear is an incredibly safe source of baseline power.
There are plenty of startups in spaces like electric vehicles, renewable energy, energy saving, food production, etc.

This is tackling climate change.
At night demand is lower, so even ignoring all the storage technologies aside from expensive batteries, there are things like gas power plants, who can start and stop quickly and likely provide the needed energy. And at daytime ... you do have sun in australia, not like here in germany.

And a few more PHES (water reservoir pump storage) probably come in handy with drought anyway

Yeah it feels a lot like the feudal system still exists in some small way with our rental system. Revenge evictions are common enough to be a well known problem. In public discourse the right of the landlord to do whatever they like with their tenancy agreements dominates and other viewpoints are still often marginalised, typically with whinges about difficult tenants and the apparent right of landlords to an early retirement while they leech off their tenants' work. A disproportionate number of MPs are landlords. Even Tony Blair made a killing from his own buy-to-let portfolio.
> We have active fraudsters at the top of the iOS and Play stores. The issue isn't that you don't know how best to cast the net to grab everyone. It's that you don't cast it at all to grab anyone.

What apps are you thinking of? My guess is that they're apps that are being really careful to stay just inside the bounds of the store policies.

> That's not an excuse to do nothing.

I'm confused why you think ad networks are doing nothing?

> the dichotomy being pushed here is that the difficulty underlies a need for illegal anti-competitive behavior.

I wasn't trying to defend that. I just saw your "it's pretty simple to..." and as someone close to the issue wanted to explain ways it's not that simple.
They don’t need to. But it seems rather unfair to say that people with decent income but who can’t (or don’t want to) access large amounts of capital must have an artificially reduced selection.

Imagine if it was flipped around: new houses cannot be sold, and can only be rented out. Would that be reasonable?

I totally understand why people dislike speculators who buy houses and let them sit empty. I get why they dislike investors who buy properties and put them out for short-term rentals like AirBnB. But getting upset at long-term rentals? Why? Lots of people rent, for many good reasons. Especially poorer people. What’s so terrible about serving that market? If you think the landlords are making too much money, bring prices down by increasing the supply i.e. the exact opposite of this plan.

I don't think previous generations were particularly altruistic toward the poor. In general people "sacrifice" for their family or themselves, not for others.
I have to wonder how far back that advice goes.

It's oft repeated, to the tune of new wisdom being discovered and brought to the masses, and nary a single thought given to whence it originally came nor whether it is, indeed, new.
Where are you getting your definition? Merriam-Webster defines it as "a young person" and even gives "kids in high school" as an example usage. Wikipedia includes "young adult" in its definition which includes people from late teens through their twenties (again, according to Wikipedia).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apportionment_in_the_European_...

In the countries with 10 million population, you have roughly 500k people per MEP. In Germany & France, it's 850k.

If you add up the seats of the 6 countries with roughly 10 million people, you get 126. If you add up the seats of Germany and France, you get 175. So the small countries are definitely not irrelevant. Can a single country decide on a matter on their own? No. But with 28 (soon 27) states, requiring consent of every single country would render the EU unable to take actions on issues.
Because MCAS wasn't originally proposed as having enough authority to make dangerous flight inputs. It was allowed by that standard.

Then Boeing increased how much authority the system had to pass a different part of certification without telling the FAA.

> “The FAA believed the airplane was designed to the 0.6 limit, and that’s what the foreign regulatory authorities thought, too,” said an FAA engineer. “It makes a difference in your assessment of the hazard involved.”

[...]

> The discrepancy over this number is magnified by another element in the System Safety Analysis: The limit of the system’s authority to move the tail applies each time MCAS is triggered. And it can be triggered multiple times, as it was on the Lion Air flight.

> For large-scale solar you need batteries, and batteries do not follow this kind of cost curve.

Tesla would beg to differ. Their entire EV market is made possible by better, cheaper batteries, and that stems from the popularization of smaller, longer lasting, power sucking smartphones.
How does cuckoo hashing work for 80% load factor. It may be possible that you fill out both the positions and your eviction algorithm is then no longer constant time for worst case.

AFAIK, cuckoo works best when load factor is less than 50%. Wikipedia seems to also agree with me.
That 30 year old land rover will most likely be obliterated by any modern car. When comparing old vs new cars the size difference is completely irrelevant. Modern compact cars are much safer than old large cars.
Call me cynical ... historians, writers and the movies seem to fabricate things up to keep people in a dream. At this point I'm pretty certain there are no "heroes" who "save" the world like Mission Impossible.
> Most service allow you to block users.

So you block them, and they create another user who is unblocked and continue to harass you. Blocking doesn't stop harassment.

> Even my phone can block calling number

My wife was harassed by an ex who used Google to generate new numbers. Every time we blocked one, he would generate a new one. We had to show up to court with a stack of pages of thousands of auto generated text messages before he was forced to stop.

> If you are harassed online, just leave the "social" media

Thus the harasser wins. Why should the harasee be the one forced to change their life, while the harasser gets to do whatever they want?
I did some research on zzhc.vnet.cn and what its purpose might be. Zzhc is probably an abbreviation of 自注册, meaning self-registration. There is plenty of documentation (in Chinese) on how to implement it (e.g. [1]), but so far I haven't been able to figure out what it's actually good for.

You can find implementations by Qualcomm and Mediatek on GitHub, the Mediatek one even comes with a minimal README [2]. That seems to indicate that it's gated by a feature flag "MTK_CT4GREG_APP" and is only supposed to be active when explicitly selected while the phone is in developer mode. That makes it likely that sending the data was only due to a misconfiguration.

Considering the long list of manufacturers starting at page 10 of [1], it's also possible that others are leaking data in the same way.

I think the above poster's point is that plenty of government decisions are not voted on by referendum, and shouldn't be. The consequences of Brexit are complex and far-reaching, more so than countless other types of decisions that are not directly voted on. So why should we expect The People to know any better?
In a similar vein, I developed a search engine for sales taxes in Canada (works for all provinces and territories). It was a much, much bigger undertaking than I initially thought, but here it is: http://isittaxed.ca/

I am considering open sourcing this project so that there could be a search engine like this for other countries.
That was a really interesting project. What were the main reasons it failed?

The one in Spain seemed to show it was feasible.
> You didn't actually have that up until now either.

Yes, and we liked it.

> Citation very much needed, unless you mean nominally German and French companies delegating factories and subsidiaries to your country, in which case, that's the point.

See how countries are represented in the EP.

> I think if you'd ask them, they died for their children to have a better life, and not having to fight any more wars. Also, a lot of (great)-grandfathers died in countries that are pretty happy to be in the EU; your appeal to nationalism is pretty offensive here.

You know what, I actually asked them. Our nation maintains a project called "memory of the nation" that collects inputs like this from as many important and ordinary people of past times as possible, from various sources such as chronicles, personal diaries, letters, books, court hearings etc as well as actual conversations with them.

It is exactly what I said it is, please don't try to school me on my own nation. Our grandfathers died because they wanted us to be sovereign. Please don't try to change their (well documented) message. The whole thing by itself has nothing to do with nationalism! It is the fact that the western nations have been the oppressors of our people and the (provably) 300+-year old understanding of the whole nation (and its literature, songs, art...) that in order to be free at our homes, the country has to be sovereign - because our ideas about politics and what freedom is are different than yours.

> Your country can just decide to leave. If the burden of delegating some super-national matters to a larger voluntary body becomes too much, you can just opt-out.

It can not. The EU has just shown everyone that it will absolutely and purposefully destroy anyone that tries and severe all their international ties to a state roughly equivalent to the Cold War. On top of that, our country is economically tightly tied to Germany and France and their investors - whatever our citizens want, these foreign investors will work against it, and now their governments (that will naturally protect and help their citizens as much as possible) have the power to override our laws directly, the last thing they lacked.

Maybe but I'm skeptical it would be good enough.

Its too early to commoditize VR in my opinion. Google tried with daydream and its crap. When Vice launched it was remarkable and since then the quality of the VR experience has only degraded. Lots of "we can get almost as good results doing this cheaper option" steps have been taken which cement VR as a gimmick rather than a truly compelling experience.
Do people do that in practice? I would think since async/await does not reference any particular thread that it is always off of main thread.
