That's not an acceptable response. Your comment that immigrants coming to the U.S. are nationalists representing their ethnic homelands and operate with an anti-American bias was highly inflammatory. Many immigrants (including me) come from a background of inter-generational trauma brought on by war/famine/tyranny and very much appreciate the existence of the U.S. and democracy. I think it's fair to say we might even take it personally.

If you can't back up a statement like that with quality evidence, you shouldn't be posting in an intellectual forum. I will leave @dang / HN admins to mod.

I like HN because you see such a diversity of views and realize there's no "best" solution out there. So many people here complain that everything is run through the browser or Electron and that nobody makes native apps anymore. Here's Zoom with a native app and someone complains that they _have_ to install something new.

I suspect the desire to not install new software is the dominant market position (HN is clearly biased sample).
This is a great question, and a very important one.

The number of users referred to your site or product (based on traffic logs) should be similar to the number of ad clicks that you're charged for. This won't be 100% accurate due to some browsers removing the referral header, but there should be a strong correlation between the two.

I think ultimately though, it's about trust. I don't believe it's in our long term interest to attempt to defraud our partners as a company. We do well when our partners do well, and providing fake numbers will cause our partners to have a lower ROI, making them less likely to stay on our network.

It will take time for us to establish trust, but I believe that we won't be successfully unless both advertisers and publishers trust us.

Not to mention, that's not how/when unions got formed. Unions, as a derivative of trade guilds, formed exactly under the conditions we are seeing today. The capitalists _needing_ in-high-demand skilled laborers. If you consider that unionization requires a large concession from capital, it makes sense that unionization can only form during periods when labor is strong.

Yes, of course unions help marginalized workers, but that's only because they have been put into place by powerful workers to help out when that time inevitably comes. Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis.
I don't like this article. It is not a objective article. Cherry-picked evidence for the proposed point. Unsubscribed the newsletter after I read it.

I think in the end, like most industries, robotics will end up being dominated by a handful of big firms. Each will have a mature hardware/software platform that is theoretically capable of building any a robot in any configuration you can imagine, but in practice the industry will settle on a handful of units with sizes and shapes that have proven themselves well suited to general purpose operation in a wide field of tasks. Most clients will standardise on a single vendor, and a particular unit and software pack, with limited customisation, and only Governments and very large companies will pay for completely bespoke robots.

Innovation and investment will shift away from companies trying to build a whole robot of their own to innovating on a single component type that fits within one or more of the large vendors supply chains, or plugging into standard units at the hardware and/or software level.

I've heard similar proposals made million times, but never seen it implemented. I see a few major problems with it:

1. Moderation is a thankless task, and it's unclear why anyone would put in the effort to bootstrap a "moderation group" -- it could be a huge amount of work for zero members

2. Legal liability - the site administrators still need to moderate away illegal content that could get the site closed down

3. Fragmentation - users segregate into separate communities polarized by some conflict or other, which would probably lead to weird community dynamics

SafeFrames are fine for most ads that are isolated in a box on the page, and those that wait for user interaction before changing dimensions.

The main issue today is because advertisers want viewability tracking (which safeframe has a minimal but poor API for) and they want it with their own independent providers. Also prebid.js used for header bidding does not support safe frames.

Things will improve though because IntersectionObserver is now built into modern browsers and even works in cross-domain iframes. There's also the Open Measurement SDK[1] from the IAB to standardize viewability finally, and Prebid.js is also working on using SafeFrames.

The scale is a little different though. Say a 300MW submarine reactor runs for 10 years, the energy produced is about 20 megatons. The energy in a bomb might be 400 kt, half of it from fission, so the reactor will contain a hundred times more spent fuel.
> What I disagree with is then adding on an additional cost just to pad the pockets of the University.

Reminder that Universities like Purdue are non-profits. While this doesn't mean they spend all their money wisely, it isn't just going to some billionaire CEO, and a very large portion is funding additional research.
In the discussion of people living in there cars I mentioned the idea I had started exploring of a vertical RV park. Of course no idea is "original" :-) I found this as a pretty interesting discussion of previous efforts.
No, it's even newer, so we'd expect it to use the same cable if Apple wants a nice transition for their users. But their rent-seeking penny-pinching CEO doesn't care about producing a good product lineup any more. He just cares about margins, and this saves a few cents per unit.
A German startup in the fintech sector (basically offering managed etf portfolios for retirement) started with a beta sign up waiting list a few months ago.

I found this very irritating and a bit out of its time as a customer, not to mention the missing desirability for most people. Even I as someone who is interested in startups and fintech felt not really like yeah, yeah sign up now.

So, I personally would not do it.

Having said that, I haven't heard of startups with reduced performance or outages because of overwhelming demand for a long time. Maybe, web dev stacks got more professional and scalable, or the time for easy sign ups out of curiosity is over?
Ah my bad. I’ll make sure to fix it. Sorry about that.
I agree with this. I found the Rough Guides another good antidote to Froddors/Michelin - and in fact, a better guidebook than ETTBD. I don't think I remember LP guides for Europe being helpful - I thought their main forte was Asia. Maybe that impression is mistaken.

For me, the thing was that ETTBD presented, explicitly, a whole travel philosophy/attitude that I found inspiring at the time.
This interpretation also makes total sense and was different than I was considering - nice! Continue to have the opinion but don't let it stop you from being productive when presented with circumstances that don't match with those opinions.

Why Is the US Death Rate Rising?
> But I've seen plenty of stories, even from reputable sources like the NYT, criticizing tech companies for only hiring 20-25% women while failing to mention that this is exactly in line with the percentages of tech workers that are women.

If the industry is systematically unfavorable to women, hiring at the same percentage as the industry as a whole (which is what matching the “percentage of tech workers that are women” is) is indicative of being fully on-line with the average degree to which the industry is systematically unfavorable to women.

It would be inconsistent to criticize the industry but not firms that were dead in the middle of the pack.

I don't have a great intuition for this, so I looked it up. It looks like Black workers are more likely than White workers to be union members, while workers of other racial minorities are less likely [0]:

> Among major race and ethnicity groups, Black workers continued to have a higher union membership rate in 2018 (12.5 percent) than workers who were White (10.4 percent), Asian (8.4 percent), or Hispanic (9.1 percent).

But it's possible that the story is different for construction workers or for other individual sectors.

You need multiple yubikeys. The problem is that they don't use some sort of derived key concept to make syncing easy. You need them physically present to add them to new accounts. You can't just lock one away in the safety deposit box. So you'll probably just lose them both if you lose one.

I'm not surprised nobody uses them.

The only practical application I can think of is some sort of central authority configuration like a corporation where yubikeys are given to employees.

Bitcoin is traded less than gold. Gold isn't really used to buy consumer goods, and tends to be used as a store of value, thus the low trading volume. So it doesn't seem as if bitcoin is being used to buy things.

I think it's inaccurate to claim that there are people who aren't enamored with unions simply because people don't like unions.

Take police unions for example. It is well documented that many unions are fervently against policies such as always-on body cams that theoretically should protect a (good) cop and the citizen. Fail that, they are against releasing body cam footage.[0] Police unions are also known to protect abusive officers. [1]

I'm not trying to claim that there isn't an anti-union attitude, but it is not simply associating them with communism.

I disagree with your comparison saying Medicine is to Tech, as Secretarial Work is to Medicine. The entry to tech is extremely forgiving and easy compared to Medicine.

My sister works in an O.R. performing heart surgeries, saving lives. I make websites. We both like what we do.

It’s not a guarantee that collective bargaining will help privileged workers, and union dues aren’t free. The statement is a bit cheerleadery, but isn’t necessarily irrational.
I don't like it either, because as you say it locks up useful tech. But I'm not sure it's any more rent seeking than private research. Purdue is public yes, but in most states even public universities receive much less than 50% of their funding from state and federal sources.

I still believe in some of the benefits of patents too though. What I'd like to see are compulsory licensing rules w/ ceilings imposed on the fees. And some sort of "public good" exemption for things like this that limit patent length even further.

> "Advertisements on the web are fundamentally more coercive than advertisements in the newspaper, so should we regress back to newspapers"

Emphatic yes, should adblocking on the web become infeasible. As I said, "Reading more newspapers and books would be more appropriate."

As it stands currently, it's possible to see fewer advertisements on the web of any sort than advertisements in newspapers. Web adblockers are currently very effective. Should that change, then I will change my reading habits and so should you.

(Of course websites that do not contain advertisements would still be perfectly fine.)

ah, nice. Can't remember if it was Hive or a different faction, but while playing the core game of D2, I thought it was nice because the environment you dealt with them reminded me a lot of Alien (without the xenomorph, obviously).

They are showing that the methodology that they have for computing the NAV (net asset value) is solid and based on exchanges that do not have fake volume. Also that the effective volume and price sensitivity on those exchanges is reasonable for the asset class. And finally that in order to manipulate those exchanges sufficiently to affect the price and win an arb against the ETF is infeasible.

Oh my god. Really?! You have to be kidding me. This phrase means: the color of static - gray and moving with flecks of random color. It has always meant this and always will. It’s inexcusable that a Wired writer doesn’t know this.

Even TVs that show the blue screen still show static for a second before the blue kicks in. I simply don’t believe that anyone really doesn’t know what static looks like, and this blue sky myth is just some kind of in-joke.

We unban people in the majority of cases when they email us. Not always, though—it depends on whether we believe they sincerely mean to use HN as intended. Even then, though, there's nearly always a way for someone to demonstrate that. It just might take a bit longer.

I don't think it's misleading. That's why I use the phrase "give us reason to believe". Most do, and those we're happy to unban right away. Some don't, for whatever reason, and for them we offer a slower but doable alternative. (Except in rare cases where we've already given someone a dozen chances or whatever.)

I hate having to make judgment calls like that, btw; it sucks. But we don't have a choice. Serial trolls are a thing, and the alternative is to turn HN over to the flames.

> Anyone who argues that there should be "More women in tech"

I don't think there is any problem (shortage) of women in tech, but this is a substantial deficit of women in startup tech. There could be many reasons for this, but I suspect this is due to the personalities needed at an early stage startup and some degree of narcissism or self-interest that many developers (particularly women developers) find less appealing.
I noticed it's more difficult to create a good light theme. The colors appear vibrant on a dark background, but things are very different on a white background: in order to have high contract text one needs to use dark colors of different colors, and it gets harder to tell the difference.

2) Security. No JS in the ads means no bitcoin mining on the ad network [1]
3) Privacy. Since we host all of the images/ads, advertisers can't inject their own tracking code.

If the JavaScript to load the ads is a non-blocker, send me an email and we can discuss other options.

Coding was compared to literacy here. Literacy is taught in schools because people of average IQ (100) are capable of literacy and find it helpful in their everyday lives.

Literacy is one of the few things taught in schools that actually has any utility in people's everyday lives.

Coding is nothing like literacy. It is more like chemistry, physics or Shakespeare - something the vast majority don't care about and will quickly forget. If you have any doubt - poll the population on Newton's three laws of motion and why they matter.

Regarding idealogical flamebait - I don't even know what that is - I'm simply expressing my opinion, that the above has hopefully clarified. If you find my stance on the school system offensive, rest assured I'll no longer reply on the matter in this thread, seeing how quick others are to judge others in a negative light.
