What's your point? That google is a for-profit company? Why should the people who utilize the services take a back seat to profits?

I didn't make an estimate because I literally do not care about the monetary cost. Why should Google be exempted from basic standards of customer service just because it's profitable to do so? That's the exact opposite of being a productive member of society.

Fact is, users aren't perfect and will always need help to use services provided by others. A company which does not help its own users because it's less profitable to do so is an unethical company and should not have any business whatsoever in a civil society.

If that makes the company not profitable then perhaps the company should actually sell their services for a cost instead of "free", or perhaps become a non-profit (and reduce taxes), or become absorbed by the government (and citizens' taxes provided the "clearly beneficial but not profitable" services), or... you know... stop being profitable and stop being an unethical business.

Keyword is mostly. According to Google, M-Pesa is in 7 African countries - Kenya, Tanzania, Lesotho, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Mozambique & Egypt.

I don't know about the other countries but I lived in Ghana for about 5 years and I can assure you M-PESA's a shadow there. Vodafone and MTN are the kings of Mobile money in Ghana.

But even in Ghana, cash is still the undisputed champion. The growth of mobile money there has slowed down dramatically because of registration requirements and operator fees.

Well, I guess if you‘re in the US it is perfectly reasonable to expect police (even „special tactics“ teams) to just immediately shoot people on the sole base of a phone call and thus all of the responsibility lies on the caller.

This seems a strange response, since the extra-judicial killing of an American by the Obama administration was widely regarded as a serious breakdown in American norms — precisely by the same crowd who says things like GP.

Your link then would be support for their point, not a refutation.

Generally speaking, point out something in the past few years that’s an example of what the person is talking about isn’t a way to refute that things are changed — that you can only point to recent ones is evidence that things have changed.

Of course, Obama has no respect for American traditions, broadly: he’s the first president in history not to leave the capital and to continue to be politically active during his successor’s term.

His actions certainly aren’t what I’d put forward to someone claiming that American values used to be something, but have recently changed — Obama in general is an example of that collapse in principles.
Breaker is hiring a front-end web developer
A couple weeks back we were on vacation in Hawaii, and one night at dinner the table of San Diegans next to us was having a rather loud and animated conversation. It seems they had rented out their property back home on Airbnb and they very clearly talked about not disclosing the cameras they had onsite to the tenants.

The tenants had discovered at least the doorbell camera and covered it up, to which the owners were not pleased and were debating calling the police on the tenant.

We were aghast at their complete lack of knowledge regarding undisclosed video surveillance of tenants and the violation of airbnb policy. My wife badly wanted to interject but we let it go. We did talk about how to mitigate these threats, made for some interesting vacation dinner conversation though.
Can we stop using YAML for configuration and instead use a real programming language with possibly a type interface and a compiler? So much time wasted looking up possible configurations and worse, learning that some configuration will conflict with another.

I guess they target Africans in the diaspora, who have much more disposable income.

It is very tough to succeed targeting Africans in Africa without first focusing on a specific country.

By the way, I see this phenomenon a lot with African restaurants in the US. If you are targeting, say just Nigerians or Kenyans, your restaurant will fail 100%.

They are not enough of them and are often unappreciative and judgemental--complaining it is not like their mother's cooking!

The African restaurants that succeed make it exotic and exciting enough to appeal to Americans and the broader populace. They may invent dishes or create a 'fusion' menu but who cares! After all, there is no "General Tso's" chicken in China!

In a websockets implementation w/ AWS Lambdas and AWS API Gateway maintaining connection state, your AWS Lambdas are invoked whenever someone 1) connects 2) disconnects 3) sends a message.

This project's pattern uses a single AWS Lambda function for all of those events, for the sake of simplicity as well as performance because by receiving more events, the function is kept warmer than average.

Further, when the user loads a page, if you establish the connection at that time, you warm up the function in the background by sending the connection event.

Here is full Chat Application example you can deploy to test performance: https://github.com/serverless-components/RealtimeApp/tree/ma...

When deployed to us-east-1 and using it in San Francisco, when the Chat App loads, it establishes the websockets connection immediately via React's componentWillMount(), which will warm the AWS Lambda Function. By the time I send the first chat message, the function is already warm, and it takes ~100ms on average to send and receive messages.
I count those agencies as a variety of blackhat.
On the UX of this site: I think we need a browser setting to prevent a page from messing with the back button.

This is an excellent point, and I wish it weren't buried so deep in replies. If dating apps make it easier for "desirable" individuals of both sexes to have lots of partners, then the effect you describe is amplified. That is, being "desirable" is partly about having money to pay for a nice date, a car to pick up your date with, etc. A 21-year-old is less likely to have these things than a 32-year-old (who is still young enough to be desirable to many women in their 20s).
re: performance, as someone who isn't particularly enamored with rust or go (or any language), how is this thing only doing 16MBps local to local?!?
this could be used programmatically as well via Serverless Components. However, if your configuration is simple, that's what YAML is made for.
As others has mentioned, an ESR is the way go for capacitor diagnosis. Usually you can find the capacitor by determining the symptoms. For instance, if the power indicator turns on then off, it's probably near the power supply and filter circuit. That being said, it can get super dangerous repairing old vintage machines since there can be a huge ass capacitor upstream you do not notice. Always discharge your capacitors before you work on them!!

It's not only likely, it's certain. Death is nothingness, not peace, and pretending like it's preferable is basically acquiescing that infinite nothingness is preferable to nothingness, which is definitionally false.

There is literally no such thing as a peaceful death. It may sound poetic, and it may be comforting, but it's not true or real in any sense to the people actually dying.

The reality is, it's peaceful to the living, and so we falsely optimize for that.

At the time, we were. Japan were miles ahead in the semiconductor industry, which was the key part of the computer industry in the 70s. Both Britain and Japan squandered their competitive advantages in a remarkably short period of time; Britain failed to effectively commercialise a large base of skilled software developers, while Japan failed to pivot into software and saw their semiconductor industry become commodified into irrelevance.

Technology changes on very short timescales. No advantage lasts for long, no matter how great that advantage might be. You have to keep investing, you have to keep experimenting, you have to be prepared to radically pivot, otherwise someone else will take advantage of your complacency and knock you out of the game.
I hate it too, but it could be like:

The number of people who don’t buy movies because of an ethical concern over DRM is minuscule compared to the number of people who would share movies if they could easily.

The population of people who wouldn’t buy DRMd video because it was inconvenient or wouldn’t play on their desired device is larger. The answer to that is make your player ubiquitous across all devices - and even Apple is starting to do that.

The other answer is to make your purchase shareable across providers. Movies Anywhere is doing that with 4 of the major studios.
"Mistakes" can also be just lack of sufficient evidence, or even evidence that is not collected properly. Mistakes do not always mean the party is innocent, just that we take them to be on a legal basis regardless of the truth.
Most definitely. But the folk at Google are very smart, very rich, and already run the most lucrative ad platform in the world. Wouldn't hamstringing their flagship product for the sake of a few extra $B/yr harm them in the long run as more and more users switch to other search engines? They had to have considered that and made the change anyway. What's the endgame? I don't feel it's more ad clicks.
Behind the scenes, a search on Google involves at least a thousand machines.

How much extra state (internal connections, memory for partial results, etc.) would such a new search type create?

How do you deal with a new kind of hot spots now?

What if millions of people suddenly activate such an option?

What if a botnet does it?

I think the broader point is that by nationalizing a shared resource, Norway achieved an outcome that benefits their entire society.

They are fortunate that they are one of the few countries with functional government that could handle the oil wealth responsibly.

If you compare it to the United States, we socialize many of the risks associated with oil production, refining and transport, and let the extractors, refiners, and transporters reap the benefits.
They’ve been $9 for a few years, I’d expect them to stay at that price until they’re discontinued or significantly changed.
Done! This project can be deployed with YAML or programmatically w/ Javascript.

That was my experience too.

When I first started flossing I'd get some bleeding (in no small part because my lack of flossing before caused the gum at the bottom of the tooth to be inflamed). Bleeding is very infrequent now.

I personally use those plastic flosser sticks. I cannot figure out just the string. But I floss once a day every day and have for years.

Just remember to floss each tooth twice in a V shape. You need to do both sides of the tooth and the bottom.
i guess these are the downsides of a platform without much stdlib. consensus stdlib doesn't really work, and then things don't work together.
The sentence reads "In more recent history, as a global average, about four or five women reproduced for every one man." - in my browser it is directly above one of the charts.

I think by recent history, the mean thousands of years, not the last ten years. So most of the time before contraception was available.

Men being able to reproduce for most of their lives doesn't help much if they have nobody to reproduce with. I guess it helps if you can afford young wives even as you get older.

You don't get to just declare that I'm wrong without demonstrating it, sorry.

I can claim to know because of all the comments in this thread, because I've had loved ones get terminally sick, because I know what every doctor says when you ask them about this, and the stark reality is it's more about the masses than it is about the individual.

We literally can't try everything on everyone because that'd lower the average level of care overall, not to mention the ethical concerns over experimental treatments that haven't been sufficiently tested.
The author already provides a CDN url. If they are so inclined, creating a memorable url (perhaps even a shortlink) would help with styling quick and dirty projects. I don't think people are doing to be running massive websites using this library.
I agree with you.

Maybe the problem is that PageRank (or whatever they call it these days) has run its course. I mean, it supposed to gauge "what humans think is good", but it's failing miserably. It's indeed time for a more curated, artisanal, web.
I don't understand what you mean? Surely the MGTOW movement is not increasing the proportion of men who successfully reproduce, given that they seem to be about not reproducing?

Yes, I literally do, because words have meanings and death does not mean peace, in any sense of the word. It may be peace for those still living, but for the person who is actually dead, it's not peace, it's literal nothingness for all eternity. There isn't peace in that, no matter how semantic you want to get.

> Iraq is an interesting example because we only found out it was false after the fact.

Key US/UK claims were debunked by UN weapons inspectors in the same UN hearing where they were presented.

That the “Winnebagos of Mass Destruction” weren't the mobile WMD labs they were portrayed as (and that the US and UK knew because the UK had literally sold them to Iraq) was also also public before the war.

> In the run up to the war, perhaps questioning the sources and information provided by the government would have been labeled fake news

No, worse, it would just be ignored by large masses of the public who would believe the government anyway, and even forget that they'd been given repeated information about how they were being lied to.
FHIR only provides a baseline starting point which covers the most common data elements. That's why for any particular use case the implementers need to get together and write a detailed Implementation Guide. The IG may include extensions for necessary data elements not covered in the standard.

One of the big things we're working on at the moment is improving the release process. In addition to semantic versioning of the APIs we have to think through how it applies to the binary artifacts created.

“You and your colleagues” makes it sound like you have a comment crew.
This comment raises an interesting question I've seen from time to time. Is HN, run by an American company, an American publication? And therefore headlines default to an American context?

Surely there are e.g. Chinese news aggregators like HN out there. When they run articles like this, are those headlines titled "What the Chinese media universe currently looks like"? Or do they assume a Chinese context, because they are written in Chinese? Are there commenters on the Chinese HN calling out headlines for not contextualizing the article in global terms properly?

I think this raises some interesting thoughts about the issues that arise when your nation's native tongue is also the international lingua franca. Everyone can read your media, and it maybe changes expectations about default scope/context.
