It all started going downhill since Google's "Hummingbird" switch to be honest. Interviewing for Google, I actually brought this up with an engineer in the search team during the lunch.

He said they haven't noticed any regressions. I said I figured that would be the case but I can definitely feel the difference as a daily user.

Me too. I had a manager once suggest that you could set up a consortium of pharma companies based around a disease. So, for example, every company that has a drug targeted at psoriasis would buy in, then the consortium would be tasked with raising awareness that psoriasis is a treatable condition, so go talk to your doctor. Of course it has some flaws (what about companies that are first into an indication), but it might be a step better than what we have today.

It's interesting that the charge was not simply first degree murder. Although there may not have been an intention to kill, the victim was killed as the result of an inherently dangerous crime, which may invoke the felony murder rule.

The fact that he pleaded guilty suggests to me that the collection of lesser charges were part of a plea bargain, with prosecutors not confident about pioneering swatting as a murder case.
That is true, and established now, but in the early days of VHS rental, it wasn't so clearly established, and the movie studios did issue high-cost tapes that came with public performance rights.

Even now, any film display outside of the home still requires a public performance license, the studios have just decided to put their efforts into enforcement on the location and business side, rather than the supply/sales side.
What makes you think they wouldn't? Everything else google seems to do is in the interest of short term profits. Look at all the great products they've shut down simply because they weren't all that profitable.

It's my opinion that a large portion of the websites on the front page of any search (quora and pinboard anyone) are completely bought and paid for.

I'm sure when you're in the medical field for a while, it's impossible not to think of people as meat, but it is frustrating to be judged for making difference choices.

My mother, over the past few years, has been going through the consequences of being a lifelong smoker. She has had cancer, aneurysms, a heart attack, and multiple breathing crises resulting in trips to the emergency room and weeks in the hospital. She has survived all of this, despite the doctors' predictions and in some cases best efforts to facilitate those predictions. They see an elderly woman with multiple terminal illnesses in pain, so they give her morphine, it depresses her breathing and causes hallucinations, and she looks and acts the picture of someone who's not going to make it to next week. That happened a year ago and my sister figured out that she was being overmedicated, and a short time after stopping the end-of-life treatment, she was able to go back home. Eventually she got enrolled in Hospice, which at first meant access to some equipment and a bit of "help", but before long they brought the morphine into the house to deal with some back pain, the amount escalated, and she ended up back in the hospital where she stopped eating, got an untreatable bowel obstruction, and rapidly lost a ton of weight. She wasn't actively being treated for anything, and all of our interactions with the doctors and hospice people were about ensuring there would be no life-saving interventions, so we questioned the point of being in the hospital. Once again, off the morphine she came back to life and went home. She didn't want to die. We have had years of decent quality time together that would not have happened if we hadn't taken an active role in preventing her from being prematurely shoved down the "old person dying" chute.

I am a huge fan of modern medical science. It saved my mother's life and the lives of many people I know. At the same time, people are human and do human things. Not everyone values the same things. My sister and I found it very upsetting to be constantly judged for wanting to do anything other than medicate my Mom to death, and as it my be obvious from my tone, I'm holding a grudge. I feel compassion for the author of this article for the trauma they had and have to experience, but I do not respect them for it is obvious they don't respect the family with the judgmental and holier-than-thou attitude.

Corporations insulate individual actors from the market in return for a corporate wage. The baker enters the market to pursue his own interests, but when USA Bread Corp. hires thousands of bakers, those bakers are no longer perusing their own interests but instead the interests of the shareholders of USA Bread Corp.

With this perspective it's reasonable to expect that a corporation that has every available advantage over the independent worker should serve and improve some common good.
Even before the iPhone lost its headphone jack, NPD already pegged the share of wireless headphones under $50 at 30% of the (again, already larger) wireless market. The demand has only grown since then, and the market has responded.

I saw similar numbers on my server. About 10,000 views over the course of an entire day (derived as total data transmitted divided by the size of one full page load), with the bulk concentrated in the first two hours. My nginx served it without breaking a sweat. Peak CPU usage was at 5% and network load peaked at 1 Mb/s (data at 60-second resolution).

My stack was just nginx serving static files, on a 1/1 VM that also hosts half a dozen other services (XMPP, Gitea, Matrix, Mumble etc.).

It is my belief that everyone who encounters the HN hug of death is doing something wrong.

Hey guys, I'm new to HN, and I would love your feedback. I'm an ML engineer from Toronto, and lots of my non-technical friends wanted me to create ML models for them. After coding every time, I decided to create automated ML to save time. This will allow non-technical people to create an ML model and use it really fast. I made some massive change from my first version. Advanced users can now specify hyperparameters to fine-tune their models to get better accuracy.
I like your notes on varying programming languages yet staying deep in one. I think this is turning into a consensus among the folks here who've been kindly offering advice.

And will consider this: "Maybe out of their many projects, they really took one or two all the way and polished, but most were fast, done and the lessons learned. ... They also stayed deep in the language and didn't rely much on frameworks & libraries."

This is also useful: "Code your own text editor Code your own interpreter". I find these types of things intrinsically motivating, thank you.
Broadly speaking, I think "merit" is being used by Brooks here as a vague stand-in for extrinsic motivation.

In his terms, being motivated by getting to the top of the mountain isn't as good as being motivated by the climb, and for that to happen, the climb itself has to be meaningful in some sense besides just as a means of getting to the top.

IOW, he's comparing someone trying to do a good job in order to get a promotion (which will make them feel good) with someone doing a good job because doing a good job makes them feel good.

There are various related metaphors (eg. journey>destination, etc.), he could have used and most of them resonate to some extent, but I am not sure I buy the further connections he's drawing to the surrender of ego/self, I think there is some correlation but not necessarily causation.

IOW, there is some correlation between people who are intrinsically motivated and people who are motivated by working for a larger cause, but selfless/egoless causes can be extrinsically motivating too (think of volunteering for a political campaign, for example).

Finally, for this site's audience, the janitor story might make more sense if cast in terms Ulwick's jobs-to-be-done framework.

According to one electronics professor (prefaced this with "do not do this at home") - all you have to do is short the leads with a screwdriver.

Or really use a resistor and some alligator clips. Of course a screwdriver is easier to handle without touching the leads than those tiny alligator clips...

Sure. We're looking for something that's equivalent to Norway's oil industry. According to the links I gave, Norway's top exports are Crude Petrolium and Petrolium Gas, in 2017 accounting for 53% of all exports at $55.8B. Assuming a population of 5.3M, this translates to $10.5k per person.

Australia's top exports are also based on natural resources, namely, Iron Ore, Coal Briquettes, Gold and Petroleum Gas, accounting for 60% of all exports at $144.6B. Assuming a population of 24.6M, this translates to $5.9k per person.

The TLDR Is that it is a super challenging and expensive (time and resources) task, for very little /end user/ win. That’s time that would be better spent improving user experience, and useful features, etc (eg opportunity cost)

It’s a huge amount of engineering work to implement a TTD, in a relatively simple (eg whole process) environment. But JS doesn’t do that, things like networking and page layout are very common so you get additional problems - at the semantically challenging end: what happens as deferred js scripts are loaded and subsequently rolled back; what happens to other resources that have load/unload handlers, etc.

There’s also another massive complexity challenge: by necessity you’d need the full DOM to support rollbacks as well. External TTDs work around this by the monumentally expensive task of essentially virtual using and tracing the entire process, but here you’re wanting to trace only a subset of the process (it needs to be a subset because you don’t want to be debugging machine instruction level, and you aren’t wanting to debug things like the GC).
You can write your own component that handles whatever service you need and share it with the community. The more components that are built, the easier it'll be to write higher level components that use those.

As of today, those are the available components:

It was weird, and I think about it a lot. In wide open America, it must not have seemed like it would be much of a nuisance. The campaign in the 80s to end littering was really memorable, and it really worked.
I'm interested in your counter-point, and have a couple of questions:

- When you were writing good messages, were things very conversational and informal?

- Did you ever get reviews from women about how you were good at conversing? It also counts if they told you how the other guys they talked on dating apps were mostly awful at talking

- Would you are cognizant of messaging social norms (e.g. you know when to omit punctuation, shorten words, keep your messages short, avoid "double-texting", space out the time between texts, etc) and were good at following them during your online dating?

- Were you in the age range that the article talks about?

Putting effort into a messaging is definitely important, but there are a lot of small and strange details that make large differences in how those messages come off and how much people enjoy them. I'm not trying to bash you, just wondering if you're actually great at these conversations, in the age range I'm in, and yet still not getting good results.

> That's why you see men writing a bunch of generic low effort messages to women: because it is ultimately a more successful strategy.

If you're very attractive, yes. But if you're aren't very attractive and you're sending bad messages, how is that more successful than sending good messages? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you. By "low effort messages" do you mean "bad messages" or do you mean "fluid messages without overthinking or too much detail"

I disagree, they should have a dedicated section for hosts to list out all their cameras and classify them by location. Add some legal nonsense and AirBnB could, at the very least, get all bad acting hosts via a breach of contract if they're caught and local laws don't allow any better prosecution.

And it's absolutely to their benefit, AirBnB has enough publicity problems without being known as a source of scummy videos.
It's refreshing to see a successful PI with such a strong focus on the well-being of her students and community, and yet I'm annoyed that I'm refreshed by this.

The others would be: the whole battery scandal where Apple slowed down older phones without explaining that the battery, a replaceable component, was the issue. And the 2016-2018 MacBook keyboards, which are an absolute travesty.

Apple needs to face it: They have an arrogance problem. ("Courage") This applies to a lot of SV: An over-willingness to dismiss the voices of the many.

EDIT: Apple under Steve Jobs didn't succeed by simply going against the grain. Apple at its best knows when it made sense to go against the grain, and when it made sense to cater to the masses. It hasn't been at its best in recent years.
> It's interesting that the charge was not simply first degree murder

Murder (including felony murder) itself (except in special contexts and locations that don't apply here) is not a federal crime. This was a federal prosecution.
"And the most recent paper has shown that crime has gone down — particularly, street crime has gone down right after the elimination of rent control in Cambridge."

Is that because the removal of rent control caused a net loss of the poor in Cambridge? Certainly not all of those who'd have a hard time affording Cambridge were committing crimes.
How we measure the success of a digital product
Adding to that, I sometimes fear that my Google search results are biased towards my own search history.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to spend the effort annotating these things? Or building models to provide the annotation? I mean, I work professionally in embedding models for computer vision and NLP, and my reaction to the article is that this seems like totally the wrong approach. You’re putting all this effort to create the embedding model out of the part that is both most superficial and least human interpretable (the AST).
There are not many crimes that are prosecutable in one country and don't exist in another, and can be committed without entering the first country. This was not getting drunk in a dry desert state, or potential war crimes, this is something quite new.

The narrative here seems to be turning to "The FCO ought to be telling people not to travel to UAE if they have ever posted anything potentially slanderous in Facebook"

That seems ... unusual advice but you can see the point.

I think in the end there could be services to scan your history for potential crimes in places you are going to travel to - I can easily see it being "Ten countries your Facebook history get you ten years in jail - take the test now!!"

Mostly different games. The Mad Max game was the Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition version of Gamma World, which I think is the 5th or 6th edition of Gamma World. It was more like a mod for 4e than anything else.

The dragons as the rules game was straight up 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons.

But the Star Trek game was Lasers & Feelings. The steampunk game was Lady Blackbird which is also free. You can search for them and find the PDFs easily.

The cyberpunk game was Shadowrun, which also involves magic and elves, orcs, dwarves.

There is a Shadowrun hack for 4th edition DnD, and there's some steampunk stuff in DnD through their Eberron expansion (a playable race is the Warforged). While DnD mostly codifies rules for combat, DMs can totally rewire the game to feature stealth, diplomacy, and other types of interaction. But other games may be a better choice.
