I'm not proposing our default position should be to assume safety until proven otherwise. I'm proposing that if one wishes to claim something is not safe which is counter to existing scientific literature then one needs to provide the proper evidence. I'm not willing to easily discard existing literature on the basis of what someone said.

It sounds like this was done as a result of attempting to buy political ads?

If so I don't think I have a problem with it. If Facebook wants to verify the identity of someone they are doing business with in person - why shouldn't they be able to? It does sound prohibitively expensive for facebook except for huge ad buys though.
I'm a software engineer that's been involved in hiring decisions in the past.

When we make a bad hire we do a post-mortem just like we would for a critical production bug. We adjust the interview process or evaluation criteria every time a bad hire is made.

We also give the same interview for every role. We spend 80% of the time asking the same questions, and leave 20% of the time for the free flow conversation and interviewee questions.
That's a cool website. I would say my usecase is really focused on picking existing n tables in a db for like a design or presentation. I would not want to handcraft tables as I don't care what the diagram looks like; all I care is that the diagram accurately reflects the schema.

I intend to stick true to my inspiration and keep dbdot focused for that usecase. Hence, I expect this tool to actually reach a completion after which I don't think I will want to add any more features.
This is really fantastic! I have been looking for a good app for this for a while. It seems like there are several solutions for it, all emerging around the same time, which is great news for language learners!

Request: please add an option to not continue playing the video after I click "save". It is aggravating when there are several words that need to be saved at once and I have to pause the video quickly to get all of them.

You could also make the UI much smoother by copying the way the FluentU player works: pause the video and show a translation as soon as the user mouses over any subtitles. Unpause the video when they mouse away from the subtitles.

It would also be really helpful to have some contextual information saved with each word. The surrounding phrase would be helpful, for instance. It would be really fantastic to be able to save the screenshot (in low resolution to save space), but I understand if copyright prevents that somehow.

I really, really wish there were a more open solution for this. Has anyone else used LWT (Learning with Texts)? You could specify the dictionary API/URLs to use. (There were also really primitive word splitting regex settings, but I didn't find them very useful.) I want to be able to get more information on complicated words, from either compounding (German) or extensive morphology (Turkish). I want to be able to look up Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese or Thai words; these languages require extra processing to extract words because they don't separate words explicitly. When studying Japanese or Chinese, I want to be able to save characters for later study, not just words.

In general I really wish I could dig in and add functionality that I know I would love but I'm not confident that a large enough audience to warrant core app changes would need.

Hilariously, I did a search for "How to pronounce $my_last_name" and each result I checked mispronounced it the same way English speakers always mispronounce it.
The province of Alberta, Canada does something similar with it’s Heritage Trust Fund. 30% of royalties are put away.

However, it’s be rife with mismanagement.
I don't think Netflix will buy them, unless they need to as a defensive move.

That said, I could see an argument where originally they didn't want to own a hardware platform, so that they wouldn't be competing with other hardware companies that they are trying to convince to integrate their service.

At this point they are ubiquitous enough they might be more comfortable with it.
With Java 1.8 you can ask the same thing about Java and the answer would be the same.

I didn’t mean to suggest that it’s idiomatic in C++ to create strange inheritance graphs, anyone who’s done it once realizes it’s a bad pattern. The issue is more that the language -allows- it.

A couple of theories: You’re putting capital at risk, so you need incentives to account for the risk. Another is that capital gains aren’t indexed to inflation (which would be a nightmare to compute), so the long term rates are lower to bake inflation in.

The US used to tax capital gains at higher rates, but when they did they also had generous exclusions (IIRC, the first 50% wasn’t taxed)

Other option (which is technically illegal I guess but we’ll within my moral parameters) is to buy the physical box set and rip everything then add metadata manually.

It’s far from convenient but I feel it’s the best compromise, especially since you get the full quality in whatever end format you want. With pirated copies, they often are missing surround tracks, higher quality encodings, CC, and languages.

This makes sense. Remember, Facebook has had a problem with bots mass-producing fake identities and using them to spread political content. To develop a bot detector, they need to occasionally check the ground truth of which accounts are real and which are fake.
Recently switched from spectacle to amethyst. So far I'm happy. Every now and then it bugs out and you need to restart it, but in general I spend less time adjusting window positions.

It really only makes sense on large screens though. If you spend a lot of time on the laptop screen overlapping windows + spectacle is better.
Just noticed, this also doesn't play well with NetflixMultiSubs (https://github.com/dannvix/NflxMultiSubs). I would like to be able to have multiple subtitles shown on the screen while studying.
Interesting. I currently use Amethyst, but I might give BetterTouchTool a shot. How do the wm features compare to say, i3?

Why does everyone treat TypeScript like a full language? Besides some features like generics 98% of it is just javascript with type annotations (sorta similar, including in syntax, to py3 with annotations). And in that view its probably foolish not to use it as the cost of these annotations is so low relative to the refactoring/safety/easy-of-use/code-completion/etc it offers. These type annotations are so easy to add!

I can't even imagine writing JS without these annotations esp given all the odd behaviors of the language.
There are lots of alternatives to vanilla JavaScript. Why stop at types and encapsulation?

The reason they spun off Roku was precisely because of this reason, though: they realized that being tied to a platform could hinder Roku's adoption, so they spun it off so it could be independent. And in my opinion, being independent and focused entirely on the user experience is why Roku has been as successful as it has been.
I have that same TCL. I bought it because it was the cheapest model on Amazon at the time. But I quickly got fed up with the built in Roku. It was clunky and underpowered and some of the apps barely worked. The final straw was when I learned TCL was spying on my watching habits. So I plugged an Apple TV into it and unplugged the TCL from my network. I’m much happier now.

Our Honda Odyssey with DVD system also had an aux input in the back. I used that to play my Apple purchased content, originally via an iPod and then later via various iOS devices.

It’s a trade off. I’m not thrilled by “buying” my content from Apple but I think of all the providers I can “purchase” from they are least likely to leave me high and dry.

It’s a risk not owning the physical media, but if I had to guess, I’ve probably lost or had more physical media damaged (VHS tapes, DVDs), than lost access to streaming content I “own”.
I started with one 46", then I switched to an OLED tv which unfortunately only come in 55". I love the OLED quality though and I'll never go back to regular monitors.

One can argue that carried interest as applied at hedge funds is extremely unfair, but it also applies down at the lower end of the spectrum when small businesses are formed as partnerships with unequal contributions.
Game piracy still exists. There's subreddits dedicated to tracking when DRM schemes are broken. Also piracy of region locked and old, difficult to buy now, console games has never disappeared.

The games that are out of this are those that need online accounts to play.
I see so many HN comments endorsing "build the product to exact specification using the minimum reasonable tool set." When you then ask "what happens when the specification changes?" you get hilarious answers like "just say no to the user", or "just extend the app!"

This is why I always over engineer a bit, especially on new projects. I'll happily, for instance, add a framework before it's strictly necessary. I've never regretted that decision in the end.

And I can rent it (in SD) for $0.33 in India. Meanwhile, the only movie I have had a desire to watch in the last couple of months and I was willing to pay through the nose for, I couldn't, because its digital distribution was region locked.
Sure, but why wouldn't they get paid based on streams of their copyrighted materials, or some other payment scheme? I mean, hey, it was good enough for video stores in the 90's, right? The equivalent of* Wolf of Wall Street sat on the shelf in Blockbuster for 15 years after it came out. They didn't have to hide it in the back because of an availability window.
Without piracy, many third-world populations may have never been able to really use computers until about 2005-2010.
Even better than a page by page preload button would be for the OS to know when you are about to leave reliable internet coverage (based on location, or schedule, previous usage patterns, or even just a toggle).

The OS could then automatically apply this to website load behavior, and apps could request permission to receive this information too. E.g. Spotify could pre buffer more of the playlist you’re listening to, and news reader apps could load a few articles in advance.
FWIW, in terms of exclusivity, there have been games exclusive to EA's Origin. (e.g. the 2017 Battlefront II).

I'm not sure how significant "any added friction increases piracy" is in terms of numbers.

Your comment would have been more useful with a short citation, but nevertheless, thanks! I didn't expect to be able to find that on Wikipedia (I assumed it was 'multi threaded language' or so).

So ML is a functional language. Apparently functional languages are not quite obscure enough, we need more words and abbreviations for things!

How can anyone authenticate the person coming to their door? That person could be anyone phishing for personal identifying information, or casing the joint.

> some ad at 200% volume

Advertisers are shameless, and will exploit anything until they are smacked down by laws. Congress and the FCC had to step in and regulate commercials' volume on TV (https://www.fcc.gov/media/policy/loud-commercials), and I suspect the same will have to happen online as well.

youtube-dl is the only thing that makes the site usable these days. It gets rid of ads and pop-ups, and decreases "engagement" by forcing you to copy the link over to the terminal to download and watch a video. It's even better than how people watched TV back in the day, by recording it to VHS tapes, then fast-forward through the ads.

I find #5 a disadvantage as with 1 widescreen monitor I can easily snap an app perfectly in the center of my vision and ignore the edges. But with two monitors, if I’m ignoring a monitor that means my neck is angled the entire time or I’m physically adjusting or moving monitors.
From the Discussion section of TFA: “In addition, there is one other species of Porphyromonas that is known to produce gingipains, Porphyromonas gulae (61). P. gulae is a natural inhabitant of the oral cavity of companion animals such as dogs, and a recent study demonstrated that dogs can transmit P. gulae to the oral cavity of their owners (62). Research is underway to determine whether P. gulae may be contributing to the gingipain load in AD brains.”

Google Talk (client). It was the best IM out there back when MSN started to get bloated with features and plugins like MSN Plus.

I remember that when I switched to GTalk, I still kept MSN for some of my contacts that I still chatted with, but eventually those people switched too and there was nothing left in MSN for me other that contacts with long and overly decorated status messages.

The official GTalk client was simple and lightweight. But then it died and the only official client was within Gmail, which I eventually stopped using because I missed so many messages when I was “online” while it was sitting unnoticed in tab on my browser.

I know GTalk is still alive and there’s WhatsApp, Telegram and such but I guess I miss the synchronous conversations back then, when people would still say “You gonna be online tonight? Let’s talk about it there”
Part of me wonders if the big push for tls everywhere was less about privacy and more about making it harder to filter out stuff like this. But regardless I can see some utilitarian aspects to this feature, it is all the Sneaky Pete stuff I object to. Why not be transparent and open about this feature being used? Because they know people object if they knew. It might not even be legal to use this in the EU.

The key here is "selling." You won't get DRM-free rentals or a la carte video; we didn't with audio. Yes, if you buy an album, it's DRM free. Spotify still has DRM in it.

Most 4k tvs, or at least the 250 dollar TCL model I have, support 4k at 60hz over the newer hdmi spec. It works fairly well as a large monitor, even when sitting up close.
> It does because it is a relatively industrialized country.

No, it does because its electricity comes from fossil fuels.

As of this March, the federal budget spending is in three categories: Mandatory, which is at $2.841 trillion; Discretionary at $1.426 trillion; and interest on the national debt, $479 billion. Of those three, the DOD is about half of the Discretionary category, so totaling about 15% of the budget overall. In other words, the only budget item that the Constitution explicitly calls for is considered discretionary, and is less than 20% of the overall spend.
Bingo. It makes me laugh when people push this myth of ingredients like this being expensive.

Do they think all those Indian mums are maxing out their credit cards to cook daal?
Sure, but I don't think "making a good impression in an interview" has a very strong correlation with whether someone is a "right asshole or otherwise seriously toxic." Plenty of decent people don't interview well, and plenty of assholes can put on 'interview face' to get a job.
