Thirded. I get about a month between charges with everything turned on (notifications - the main purpose of the device for me, as well as heart rate monitoring, step and sleep tracking). Its no Pebble in terms of functionality or third party development, but I had Pebbles since the initial Kickstarter and while initially I installed every app I could find and tried to use it for anything and everything, eventually I worked out that (for me at least) it worked best as a extension of my phone display, not a replacement.
I've given some thought to the grinding/no grinding issue and I think the true purpose of grinding is to allow systems learning of the game's economy and battle system. There is the more obvious reason of giving more weight (and a bigger dopamine hit) on every advancement, like when you save gold to buy a new weapon and suddenly start one-hitting enemies instead of needing 3 hits. But that also relies on learning, by feel, the underlying cost and value of each hit point as well as the tendencies and weaknesses from fighting the same enemies over and over.

Some people enjoy aggregating all of that information in their brain and getting mastery over it. Even mechanically dumb games can have interesting higher level tactics. People will make spreadsheets and argue over the best weapon or best combination of items or spells to fight certain bosses, even if the base game is mashing the A button to sword hit the enemy 5000 times in a row.
Because they lead to controversial comments which get flagged at a higher rate and either one or both of the following are true:

1. The algorithm is designed to automatically bump
threads down when the number of flagged comments
exceeds a certain amount or rate.
2. The moderators want to simplify their moderation
duties and manually bump the post down to lower
the comment flux.

Same here, friend :)
The foxes know the penguins are there now and they’re perfectly capable of swimming across a ten metre channel for some food. Also, dredging would need to be repeated every ten years minimum. The dogs may be cheaper as well. Dog food is cheap.
I would argue that unlike your examples — the bank that got robbed; the mosque that got shot up — Facebook perpetrated and facilitated the crime.

A better question would be, should a bank be held liable after being robbed if it failed its duties by designing cheap systems to save money — yes. Should a mosque/church be held liable if they received a threat and they ignored causing large loss of life — yes.

Facebook is culpable. They know the kind of garbage that floats in their platform. They continue to develop their platform and they continue to improve their ad systems. Why won’t they dedicate as much engineering effort to gain an advantage on racism/hate speech/fascism? I’ll tell you why.

Because Zuckerberg simply does not care. He owns the platform that dominates information flows and public discourse. Why would he undermine that?
I do get annoyed about the definition of keto as a "diet", especially a "fad" diet. Ketosis is a biological process, and the "keto" diet is just designed to produce the state of ketosis on purpose. As such there really is no "keto" diet, as there are a pretty wide range of dietary choices that could produce the state of dietary ketosis.

Also, literally every religious tradition in the world follows the "keto" diet on a semi-regular basis: it's called fasting.
And "horrible fucked up shit" amounts to clicks. People don't stream Lawrence Welk for their modern entertainment needs. I say the company knows damn well what content it leaves untouched. It caters to enablers.
I know this is true for divorce situations (probably because of the fighting), but I didn't know that polyamorous parents could mess up a child's psychological development. Any sources for this?
TOR browser, or TAILS in a vm are both far superior to a VPN if you actually care about privacy. It is less convenient than using a VPN though - so lots of people sacrifice privacy and money for convenience and the feeling of privacy.
Ad-driven business models ultimately lead to intelligence insulting outcomes.

Whether you look at Google or Facebook, you can notice that these platforms have been highly optimized to produce and stimulate user experiences that are far from sensible or pleasant.

The main product for both companies are ads. One uses massive distribution channel in terms of free internet search the other one in terms of free content. There is a sensible way to balance the delivery of the product (unlike other products like bread or transport, this one is in most cases an unwanted one - close to 1B ad blockers have been deployed on devices world wide) that assumes certain profit-negating levers to be pulled. Control of these levers is in full control of these companies.

By choosing not to pull the lever these companies have created an environment in which common intelligence is insulted every day, and because this has gradually happened over a period of many years, we've grown oblivious to it for the most part.

FB could (theoretically) hire 1 million workers to curate the platform at $50k/year.
Hmm, reading the comments here suggests to me this is an area that is both important and where we perhaps do not even know what "woke" looks like - it feels like a huge complex area - as such I have edited my comment to -

"yeah dating apps are likely to be the only major environmental change in the past decade to have had such an effect - but the mechanisms around this are manifold and complex and we must avoid being too simplistic in our models for how matches occur"
Id take what you say about amateurs worrying what professionals don't to be true for the most part, but it's also not always true. Even in physics.

Iirc about a hundred years ago when we were trying to measure electron diameter, several iterations of scientists bsed there results assuming the last guy was accurate. Dark matter has a lot of similar mysticism and I would not be at all surprised to see a metric shit ton of scientists just being sheep and going along with incorrect models. I'd also not be surprised if they were all spot on too.

For reference in grad school I worked in a neutrino lab right by a dark matter lab underground. So I'm not an expert but do have decent exposure.
Do I really have to qualify this with ‘mainstream databases, with mainstream client libraries, in nearly all major languages’?
I don't mean to belittle your decision to flag the article, but the flagging button is not a downvote button, and it is not there to hide things we personally disagree with. Flagging an article because it does not corroborate your personal experiences is somewhat irresponsible, especially for this community. There needs to be a better reason for flagging an article other than "my single data point says otherwise".
This is true, and honestly, has always been true. But its exaggerated by online dating and the relaxation of sex in modern society. I think whats really different, is that lots of young guys are taking note. Many are keenly aware that they are being left out. As I approach my early thirties, its weird to see those same women turn around and marry the men they previously rejected.
I call bullshit on Zuckerbergs claim as birthday parties and group hangs streams are primarily with people you have direct relationship status with on Facebook and thus can be distingishued when distributed to users by Facebook as non-related users can have a delay added for review. This would at least greatly reduce the spread of said material to limited groups and if individuals within that groups choose to resubmit it to increase it’s reach a bit, they could be sued for actively and knowingly spreading illegal and harmful material.

Either Zuckerberg don’t want to move a finger, or he simply want regulators to regulate Facebook and other social media to create a higher barrier of entry into the social media market.
>most of the web is now end-to-end encrypted with HTTPS. So why does he need a VPN at the airport?

What percentage of (typically rushed) people at an airport will notice that a website is loading over http instead of https? SSLsplit is pretty useful.
But due to insurance churn, you don’t want to be footing the bill for your competitor down the road. As an insurance manager, your unit of analysis is not healthcare system or society, but your quarterly bottom line.
All true, but it's important to establish cause and effect. Is a young man being addicted to porn and LoL a cause or an effect of not getting laid? It's probably some kind of complicated feedback loop.
Is there any work being done to get it working again? More broadly, is there any way to know what is actually being worked on with Elm? The language is amazing but it feels left for dead sometimes. Yet there seems to be a decent amount of activity on GitHub, so it clearly hasn't been: https://github.com/elm/compiler/commits/master
People facing similar issues might want to try out GRelDAL [1] (disclaimer: I am the author), a simple node.js library for bridging relational databases to graphql APIs.

It supports various strategies for loading associations, including joins and bulk sideloading (pre-edge when you know what to fetch before parent entities have been loaded, and post-edge when you need parent entities before).

It is still somewhat early stage and the scope is much narrower but it provides a great deal of control to the host application on how the operations are mapped from the graphql layer to the persistence layer.

It's a poor man's version but chrome Dev tools let you restart a stack frame, which is super useful.
Not to mention that historically video games and pornography both have been marketed towards and produced for men in the age group affected much more than women in the same age group.
Freder looked across the city at the building known to the world as the "New Tower of Babel."

In the brain-pan of this New Tower of Babel lived the man who was himself the Brain of Metropolis.

As long as the man over there, who was nothing but work, despising sleep, eating and drinking mechanically, pressed his fingers on the blue metal plate, which apart from himself, no man had ever touched, so long would the voice of the machine-city of Metropolis roar for food, for food, for food...

She wanted living men for food.

Then the living food came pushing along in masses. Along the street it came, along its own street which never crossed with other people's streets. It rolled on, a broad, an endless stream. The stream was twelve files deep. They walked in even step. Men, men, men--all in the same uniform, from throat to ankle in dark blue linen, bare feet in the same hard shoes, hair tightly pressed down by the same black caps.

And they all had the same faces. And they all appeared to be of the same age. They held themselves straightened up, but not straight. They did not raise their heads, they pushed them forward. They planted their feet forward, but they did not walk. The open gates of the New Tower of Babel, the machine center of Metropolis, gulped the masses down.

An snippet from Metropolis by Thea Von Harbou
Note that the part you quote talks abut the latecomers to a kill going for the bones. That suggests that maybe hyenas don't like the bones, but will eat them if they aren't able to get the better parts of the kill.

Another part of that same article, talking about a rare hyena that made it to old age, mentions "She still had perfect teeth, too, since her rank assured her the best cuts of meat, whereas the teeth of lower-ranking animals get chipped and worn from crunching bones", which fits in with the bones not being something that they actually want.

So maybe if an animal is killed by a hyena pack that is small enough for everyone to get a good chunk of meat, they leave the less desired bones behind?
The face that you would reduce my proposal to a brain dead, dumbest possible solution shows you aren’t really interested discussion.

Don’t you think they would, for example, be able to prioritize content based on reputation/hidden metrics?

Don’t you think, for example, that a fair amount of videos categories can be auto filtered with extremely high accuracy?

Don’t you think, for example, that if they had enough content moderators they would have been able to stop the stream and to take down this video faster?

Do you really think I am proposing that they review every video in FIFO order? Or did you want to reduce my proposal to that so you can easily dismiss it.
> I have that feeling every time I play an old JRPG. Many of them feel slow, clunky, with painful mechanics... as opposed to current games, which had the experience from decades to get refined.

It definitely depends a lot on what you're playing. Chrono Trigger has tighter, punchier pacing than practically any modern RPG. IIRC in the first couple hours you've visited two or three different areas, seen consequences of your choices, escaped a dungeon, had a cinematic fight against a boss with unique mechanics, and discovered a secret about one of the main characters.

It's not perfect; there are a number of "uh, wait, what am I supposed to do now?" moments, but it still feels fresh otherwise.

Final Fantasy VI and Phantasy Star IV similarly have brisk pacing and great presentation. Early 3D RPGs slowed everything way down, for whatever reason.
This is a great comment, but I have to say my comment was rather rushed. I was implying more that the idea of trade secrets on life-saving treatment was unethical. The question of funding is an important discussion, but I was trying to discuss the trade secret details and I didn't really get my point across in the comment.

Just to clarify, is it your position that the FAA, FDA, and OSMRE are circus shows and that abolishing the FAA would make aviation safer, abolishing the FDA would make medicine safer, and abolishing the OSMRE would make mining safer?

Or are you saying those agencies don't do enough to hold accountable the companies that caused all those problems? Because that doesn't seem like an argument against regulating tech companies. That seems like an argument for regulating tech companies, and those other companies, more strictly.
Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

--------------

To me (and many others) this topic is political in nature and controversial. See for example the 2014 Isla Vista massacre. It does not gratify my intellectual curiosity. In fact, it only briefly pretends to be a data driven piece by including a graph at the beginning and citing an informal social media poll. It might be something interesting to discuss, but in my opinion this is not the forum for it.
Great. Now we need more and we need to give those moderators teeth and tools.
Where on HN do you see anyone supporting the No Fly List's extremely poor execution? Or even the list's existence at all?
Small percentages matter when the game is competitive. Programming is not competitive.

I agree with your argument but I think your analogy is bad.

This is probably not what you’re looking for but I just want to mention that you could implement a server supporting just what you need using ldapjs (http://ldapjs.org/) and then create a custom web front end for it.
I realise that some of the contributors to the documentation here may not be native English speakers, and if so, I would encourage them to clean up the English.
Sure. But each VPS has its own IP address. The VPS provider probably retains logs. And its ISP probably also retains logs. And everything involving that IP address is associated with you.
Facebook is bribing me to provide my telephone number and a photo of my face
First of all, nobody ever murdered anybody on facebook. People murdered and streamed it, or uploaded pictures and videos.

There is plenty of places where murder gets shown, either live or recoded. How many millions do the TV stations owe in fines in your estimates for airing live footage and recorded footage of 9/11?
Would reversing the strings or writing a custom comparer to compare in reverse be simpler and get to the more significant bits quicker? You could maybe even do the file extension comparison at a later point.
> It could (theoretically) hire 1 million workers to curate the platform at $50k/year.

Theoretically, no, Facebook could not spend nearly its entire annual revenue on content moderators and still have a platform to speak of.
When I went to listen to a dark matter talk at the observatory in Cape Town, my first response was: Why on earth do they keep insisting that the r^2 rule should hold?

Maybe a physicist can explain why, but as a mathematician my first quest would be to try to form a mathematical system that follows what we are observing, without introducing physical objects that we aren't actually seeing.
Population dynamics and sexual activity statistics is arguably something that "good hackers would find interesting". If those statistics are changing significantly, then I'd definitely consider that something "that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity".

Edit: And to clarify, lots of science can be political, but that doesn't make it not-science. For example, breaking news about a new discovery in climate change projections is inherently political but it is also inherently interesting from an intellectual standpoint. Something purely political and not intellectually interesting to hackers might be news about what's happening in the White House right now. In my opinion, anything that falls under the science category is fair game for this community because plenty of people who are hackers are also very interested in science and technology.
I don’t agree that these are good solutions. A lot of these frustrated men are simply looking for companionship. Not to mention the unrealistic prospect of someone flying to another country for some casual sex. Not everyone can afford that kind of thing.
I regularly look at ARM software and firmware. There are certain things that IDA does better, like FLIRT analysis, which I’ve missed since switching to Ghidra.

Ghidra also currently lacks support for certain ARM instruction decodings so you can get odd looking disassembly. That isn’t to say you can’t add it.

Ghidra has been very nice for reversing C++ code. After filling in most of the members for an object field it makes reversing other subroutines that use the defined type simpler, IMO.
I'm interested in what you think is open and honest about suggesting that violent opposition to fascism is in any way equivalent to fascist violence
This. I really miss my HTC Dream and Desire Z.
Google’s de-indexing issue still not fully resolved but Google is working on it
I'd give it a skip unless you've already played his other stuff. What I saw of the plot seemed rather derivative of Chrono Trigger, with a much simpler battle system and long, meandering cutscenes.
You're focusing on the wrong thing. The parent believes they might have Alzheimer.

Without getting diagnosed, and without starting treatment if indeed have it, mere questions about using Listerine should be at the very bottom of their list, as should be HN advice.
This is why there are so many vulnerable products in the market and engineers are tired of fixing them.
People do not think before they start and they are confident enough to say that they have learned from their faults when they are actually too tired to complete the fixing process.

My minimum requirements would be:

* Manual MCAS cut-out switch that leaves the electronic trim available, without resorting to "hacks" like using the flaps.

* AoA disagree warning option on all planes, maybe even auto-cut out MCAS when disagree happens.

* Simulator training for all pilots on all MCAS failure scenarios and flying without MCAS.
I like your explanation of emacs and vim. Btw, neovim natively talks async using msgpack meaning plugins can be written in any language (with glue in vimscript)
I think it depends on how much time they spend programming and what they program.

1. There's a difference between 3 years of experience 4 hours a day 5 days a week and 9 hours a day 7 days a week. That's 20 hours vs 63 hours per week. Furthermore, the 63-hours-per-week person has all of that experience in the last 3 year context. A 20 hours-per-week person would take 9 years to get the same amount of experience in terms of time. Technology changes much more in 9 years than 3.

Now, 9 hours of actual programming per day is very unrealistic. It's also the case that the 9 year person has much more varied experience due to technology changing, so they end up with different skills.

2. If you work on one project/system then after a while what you often deal with is specific to that system. It might not translate well to general programming or other tasks.

I've done programming for at least 9 years, but most of it has been on and off. I would certainly consider somebody with 5 years experience to be better than me in most circumstances.
You know what we really need to focus on? The gender pay gap, and gender inequality in tech.

Maybe if we pay women more, and let them have high ranking tech jobs, it'll lead to an equalized sex rate, and everything will go back to normal!
As a vim user, please don't give the rest of us a bad name ;). You're sounding like a hippy :)
Deep Learning and Shallow Data
My trick is very simple and very low-tech. Take a piece of paper and a pen and draw a diagram that sums up the big picture of what you are trying to achieve (architecture of the software you’re writing for instance). Take as long as you need to, and when things start to fall naturally into place and you are eager to start, pick one part of the drawing and start working. Avoid distraction at all cost (music does help, especially in an open space).

I developed this when I was in academia and it transposed very well (better?) in the software industry. If you do that regularly it also helps course-correct when needed.
Each country will experience what you said, even both sometimes or one being the cause of the other.

Look at France with the Gilets Jaunes ( uprising ) and the soon to be followed populists winning the elections ( I sincerely hope not ).

Altho' I don't think capitalism is at cause here but definitely part of the problem and the solution.
org-mode, lisp...

Adding vim like layer to Emacs made sense but its best features are lisp and modules like org... I don’t think it works the other way around...

I find the more studies I read, the higher the stakes seem, because the theories I've read are highly contradictory yet their proponents seem very polarized and very sure of themselves. Some theories that have been prematurely accepted by some groups are going to be very, very wrong.

The easiest example of this sort of highly polarized dynamic is in the realm of diets.
Evolution doesn't converge for all species to some single point. It was enough that hyenas got adapted to their environment, and their mutations didn't make much difference towards larger brains.
