Was just thinking today that 90% of drivers on the road have no concept of blindspots. Maybe understand a blind spot on their own vehicle but the idea of a blind curve (or other blind situation due to any vision obstruction) is completely foreign.
for Amazon S3 i setup the s3, cloudfront & cert manually (should put it in terraform, but it takes just a second). here's a nice article to walk you through that (says it's for hugo, but you could use it for any ssg): https://agop.me/post/https-enabled-portfolio-hugo-s3-cloudfr...

then i build and deploy with a bash tool i made called NanoCD: https://github.com/tkjef/NanoCD

has lots of helpful options. easy to wrap your head around. easy to add whatever workflows,tests you'd like.
How would this interact with onclick handlers on buttons and the like?

Would it be that after 5s the user couldn't interact with elements on the page like that (e.g. if they open an image, and wait a few seconds, they then couldn't close it because the 'x' onclick handler wouldn't run), or would each handler run by a user action (like an onclick) have 5 seconds to run?
You mean like the state through pension funds invest in VC funds that subsidize money losing companies who can then pay high salaries to white collar workers?

If companies that can’t be profitable and pay a wage thst you think they deserve shouldn’t exist is kind of a dangerous thing to say on a site supported by a VC company....
Not saying there is a distinction, rather "visualization" is a scale of different levels of fidelity, "high level representation" being on the lower resolution end.

And drawing / painting for the majority of people is 95% education and practice. Some people have a knack for it, but almost anyone can learn to draw high fidelity people / cars / faces / animals with proper tutelage.

Some fruit have more sugar than others, and some apples have more sugar as well.

You should try granny smith apples or raspberries, they are lower in sugar content. Any internet search can help you find lower sugar fruits.

Many of the modern hybrids are extremely sweet and come close to being a "processed" food.
Zero confidence that any part of the US congress is even remotely capable of producing a bill for this that isn't a complete disaster. Unfortunately, they'll probably try anyway.

One of those moments I'm glad that our government is so broken at this point that it can't really drive significant change.
There are methods that claim to guarantee the student will learn to draw. I believe they start with simple objects (boxes, spheres, cones, etc.) and then begin drawing them shaded with different light sources and then progress from there.

Beyond the people with extraordinary natural ability, perhaps the rest of us just need to be taught what others can easily intuit?

you don't. You constantly appease the party, constantly on the look out for things that could go wrong, and constantly do proactive things to make yourself useful to the party, and don't even associate with individuals who even slightly hints at critisizing the party.

Everybody I know in California who got a DUI got quite penalized--it definitely stopped all of them cold so they would never have to go through the penalties again.

Maybe you can get away with DUI in the country club crowd, but certainly not lower than that.
i’m also (seem apparently to be) aphantastic and draw quite well. it’s just like you say - i “reason” about a remembered shape and light based on facts and physics, not “observation”. i reconstruct how the thing should look based on what i know of it’s geometry, not what it looks like.
interesting to hear someone else say this! i’ve never quite put it into words.
The point is that if I was wrong, there would be responses like, "what's wrong? How can I help, I would put my life on the line to help someone suffering from tyranny?"

But not one person has done that.

Anyways, about the downvotes thing. While focusing too much on the downvotes thing is kind of a distraction to the main idea, I can tell you I have a reasonable load of karma here and it is easy to get by writing comments stating the obvious, or agreeing with consensus. Controversial comments or novel ideas can be of high value, but garner low or negative karma. So I dont think you're really accurate about that. Further, generalizing about internet karma points as being especially meaningful in general contexts, like you did, is already a questionable idea.
> For example, once I've heard a song enough, I can just replay it in my head

sigh you've got to be kidding me. You can actually replay a sound in your head??

well, i'll add that to the list of things my brain can't do :(

I've also never been able to sing along with songs. It always blows me away when my wife can just start singing along with a song she's heard a few times.

I'm starting to think I might be brain damaged.
As an end user it shouldn’t be a concern you have as long as the data isn’t used for things you would find surprising.

Right now there’s no way for any analytics company to convince you they don’t do anything surprising.

I want my customers to run successful businesses and to use the data we collect on their behalf to help them do that.

Why should you care? Mostly hypotheticals, but as said above, it shouldn’t matter to you.

If analytics works, we can drive down costs, and improve how companies spend money on marketing and product development. This should mean more affordable and or higher quality products and services.
The moment she read from a children book in a all hands meeting (https://www.businessinsider.fr/us/marissa-mayer-childrens-bo...) would have had me quitting on the spot. I can't think of many things more disrespectful.
There is a fundamental difference. If I had a pair of VR goggles with me at all times that could play back short recordings of my life and if those VR goggles could also create helpful visuals that go along with my thoughts (sort of like a power point presentation with infographics and clipart), then it would be something like what I see when I "picture it". For a moment, I put on the "VR goggles" and the outside world is blocked out while I see an inner world.

If I write fiction I start to create the scenes and people in my mind as if I'm staging a play or building a level in a 3d engine. The words I write down are then a description of what I'm seeing, as if I'm writing a review of the play I just staged.

A further interesting line of thought: Can you re-hear sounds from memory? Can you re-feel touch? Re-smell? Re-taste? Can you re-experience emotions? With a bit of focus I can do all of those things, though it helps if the original memory is strong. My "inner ear" is especially strong, maybe even stronger than my "inner eye."
For YouTube, a number of reasons:

1) The recommendation algorithm provides entirely negative value for my use case:

1a) I have a very small set of videos I regularly enjoy watching, from a select group of channels. Recommendations tend to direct towards videos I have no interest in at best, or, more frequently, are actively irritating.

1b) In the rare case the algorithm happens on a video I might enjoy, it is almost always something I have already watched. I don't know if it entirely fails to take view history into account while recommending or if it's simply a matter of my small target interests, but either way, I do not remember the last time I intentionally followed a recommendation.

2) I often leave a video on either in the background or on a second monitor. When enabled, YouTube autoplays regardless of if the window is focused, meaning the obnoxious recommendations break my workflow by forcing me to locate and stop the video.

3) YouTube fails to normalize audio. Therefore videos autoplayed after a quiet video have the tendency to blast out my eardrums.

I also find autoplay a rather exploitative way of increasing viewer retention in general - it abuses the psyche and addictive nature of the internet for the sake of profits.
Agree. I can sort of apply algorithmic visual processes on images in my memory. Edge detection, object identification, primary color identification, etc.

Anything more than that seems to be primarily the domain of my actual visual system. I can observe things like light, shading, fine details when I'm actually looking at something but those are almost never present in "minds eye" visualization.

Maybe its because I've trained my minds eye to be a more abstract interface over the years. And by getting better at holding a complex system in spatial memory, the ties to the actual visual system are weaker.
It's perfectly possible she was just promoted above her level of competence (Peter Principle in action). She may have been fantastically effective and successful at her job at Google (I don't know either way), but when trying her hand at the CEO job, it turned out it didn't match her skills. Not to mention Yahoo! wasn't exactly in great shape when she took the job; IMO the board screwed up (possibly intentionally): they needed someone with experience bringing a company back from the brink of failure, not someone who'd never been a CEO before.
Yes, I left the first comment in this discussion saying I'm the cofounder, AMA, and 3 more times, but you're right, they all got a bit buried, I'll edit my first comment that appears to clarify.

Congress produces pretty decent bills when they are bipartisan. Most recent example is the criminal justice reform.
I'm still confused about why I'm supposed to be upset that Facebook A/B tests their features on their users. It seems to me that if they're allowed to do either A or B, they're allowed to measure the influence of A vs B. I don't see where the outrage is.
> Doing things without content is basically the prerequisite for hostility here.

Do you understand how often websites change without asking the user? Websites are constantly being updated, algorithms tweaked, features being added and taken away. You seem to be taking offense to the fact that they're providing a different experience to different subsets of the userbase? Is that what you're trying to ban? What could that possibly accomplish?

If you don't have A/B testing, then websites are just going to do it the old fashioned way: collect data, make the feature change, compare the data. What does this solve?
What a BS response. Now I don’t mean this personally (I’m sure you just wish the best to all of us just like most people here) but it doesn’t take anything away from the main point which is that the company can’t even be bothered to respond officially and the best this “MVP” can hope for is an unofficial acknowledgement from an employee outside of work time.

It’s adorable that people think a research university would settle for just 50% indirects.

Sure, but that doesn’t mean 538 can’t include information about the spread, in addition to their top-line number which is just a single probability.

And yes, my discussion of polling error was oversimplified, but I was mainly just trying to explain what I meant about having to treat something as random if it’s theoretically predictable given enough information.

EDIT: Hold on; I don’t think 538 does include error bars for their probabilities. They have error bars for measurables like the vote share, but that’s normal. So I don’t understand what this argument is even about :)

Are people really still jerking about a company that's been around for like a 1/4 of a century?
As far as drawing bodies from memory, it should be noted that Davinci was an art apprentice that would spend weeks just on the thumb, drawing it from different angles. At the end of that kind of intensive training, I imagine (hardy-har-har) that being able to draw the body from memory would come as naturally as the skills professional athletes develop.
Chiming in as someone with fairly strong visual imagery (I think...)

I think there are generally a variety of ways things can "appear". However it's never the same as true AR. For example, with true AR, you could be fooled into seeing something that's not there. But I can't fool myself (deliberately) with my own mental images.

Having said that, it subjectively feels like the stimulus originates in a different part of the brain at a low level, but eventually both "mental visual" and "true visual" stimulus are unified to some degree.

Like yes, I can visualize a ball in my hand, but it'll always be in a different layer from my actual visual input of my hand. Like two different layers in Photoshop.

Also, beyond the AR concept, one of my favored types of visualizations is what I call "playing myself a movie". It's pretty much what you would imagine, basically watching a movie with my mind's eye. I can watch the movie and look at "real things" at the same time. Works great for falling asleep as well.

I agree, it's a super fascinating discussion.
It is almost the other way around. Many of these open-source projects, have roots with engineers leaving these big companies and wanting to use the same tools, so they create them. Or, by these big companies releasing papers and then folks creating open-source versions. Here's some examples of the latter: Dapper (w/ OpenTracing) [1], Spanner (w/ CockroachDB) [2], Borg (w/ Mesos) [3], Dremel (w/ Drill) [4]. I'm sure there are tons more examples but these are just off the top of my head.

do you know Tesla's timeline for Model S/X/3 from announcement to production?
Its disappointing to see that so many voices in this discussion are focused on self-driving cars and the like as the savoir solutions - I always wish there would be some discussion of ways to help people be less reliant on cars, so they spend less time driving, are less likely to get distracted while doing it, and everybody is both safer _and_ living in a less car-centric world.

We are - realistically - decades away from outright bans on human-operated vehicles at any real scale... so why not try to reign in the ever-expanding sprawl and car-centric planning that encourages/requires such widespread use of vehicles by distracted people, drunk people, etc in the first place? If its not alcohol, its phones. If its not phones, its makeup, or breakfast, or a fight with a passenger... more people who can walk, take transit, bike, etc means fewer deadly distractions or impairments.
Most people could draw a bicycle well enough while looking at it. But most people are hopeless when asked to draw a bicycle from their imagination. But most people don’t have aphantasia. I do, so am sceptical when people say they can picture a bicycle (say) in their “mind’s eye”.
I used commute on I294 in Chicago. The drive home was awful. In bumper to bumper traffic, speed oscillating between 0 and 45. Id look around me and typically I'd see 5 or 6 people in my immediate vicinity would be on their phones. Id see people watching videos, texting, talking. It was appalling.

I was hit 3 times last year. Pretty sure at 2 of the times it was due to distracted driving and the 3rd due to the asshole being an impatient and rude prick trying to skip the line and jump in. When I was read ended, the woman that hit me rolled into me at a red light. We had been sitting there for a minute or so, stopped and just as the light was about to turn green, just rolls into me. I get out and check my bumper, and there's a crack in the paint and about a dime size dent. Not a lot, right? I was expecting a around a $500-600 repair, and that was the initial estimate range. When they got in there and removed the bumper, found a lot more damage. Ended up with a new bumper, impact absorption materials and backup sensors. Ended up being around a $4k repair. All because she was distracted at a stop light. Mind I didnt have to pay that, but it was still an inconvenience having my car in the body shop for a few weeks.

The kicker is, she got out to look at the damage and tried to claim there was no damage. I called the police to get a report. She started freaking out and getting hysterical, yelling at me and pulling at my arm I'm holding my phone with, while I'm on the phone with the police. I got back in my car and locked the doors and stayed in there until the police arrived. Crazy woman kept pounding on my window until the officer showed up.

Not sure if she was cited, but I got the police report with her listed at fault, which is what I wanted to make dealing with insurance easier.

No you cant run wordpress directly on netlify since it requires a server with php and mysql. But you can use a plugin that creates a static version of your wordpress site and host that on netlify. Another approach is doing a headless wordpress setup, where your front end code is on netlify but the wordpress admin and database is on an actual server somewhere else.

If their feature A is OK to do in isolation, and could conceivably lead someone to commit suicide, then I don't see the problem with measuring that impact vs some feature B.

I suspect particle physicists and petroleum engineers didn't share much knowledge, otherwise they may have used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging instead.

(That article contains a photo with an interesting caption when taken out of context: "Inserting a pig into a natural gas pipeline".)
A phone is a tool. It is good for tools to discourage hazardous usage, but that doesn't absolve the user of the responsibility to use the tool correctly.

Making tools liable for their stupid users is not a good idea.
The alternative is to not know at all that this is possible and accidentally design something that makes people more negative.

Knowing this is possible and how to measure the effect, lets them detect when they accidentally do it and reverse course.

Making it illegal to figure out the negative impacts of your decisions will make it harder to avoid them.

It would be much better to require disclosure when these negative impacts are detected and require that this information can only ever be used in the best interest of the user.

Say what you will about Java -- Oracle are shitheads and Java was late to the generics and lambda parties -- but it deserves full props for getting the most influential free software organization that doesn't involve RMS or ESR, the Apache Foundation, on board in the late nineties, and that has shaped the Java ecosystem to this day and made it more open and inclusive. Still not ideal, but it's the enterprise platform I trust the most.
I guess that’s more a factor of graduating from Stanford at that location at that point in time than it is of their personal ability to receive multiple offers (not completely unrelated of course).

Thank you, was the first thing I looked for.

While the intention of the bill seems good, I worry that this will become the next cookie popup. From the text of the bill:

"Any large online operator that engages in any form of behavioral or psychological research based on the activity or data of its users shall disclose to its users on a routine basis, but not less than once each 90 days, any experiments or studies that user was subjected to or enrolled in"

Based on their definitions of behavioral research, simple analytics would fall under the purview. This means that every site that has over 100m MAU will have to have a popup disclosing that they're running analytics and A/B testing (because honestly this won't stop any of them from doing it - these things are industry standards).

I don't need to be informed that Facebook tracks what links I click on their site. I don't need google to tell me that they have a history of every search I've made, and that they tailored those results based on my past searches. We're trying to create a safe space web at the detriment of UX. I support a lot of the stuff around younger kids, but I think the stuff for adults is just going to become a nuisance.

I've actually been compiling notes to do this! I've been fascinated by how every time aphantasia comes up on HN or Reddit, there's always several people who either discover they have aphantasia because of the article or had recently discovered it, because they had always assumed that expressions like "mind's eye" were just another figure of speech or idiom. It's made me wonder if one could create a survey of mental/physical experiences which would double as a way of informing everyone about the various possibilities & what is the norm.

Aphantasia is just the tip of the iceberg - there's a whole laundry list of 'abnormal is normal' mental stuff out there.

A partial list: they vary from the various kinds of color blindness to anosmia (unable to smell!) to blind people regularly having vivid visual hallucinations (Charles Bonnet syndrome) to hearing voices (something like 10-20% of people occasionally hear voices) to lack of inner monologue to musical anhedonia (being unable to enjoy or be moved by music) to ASMR to misophonia to the nasal dilation cycle to 'intrusive thoughts' like 'the call of the void' to hypnagogia (hallucinations while falling asleep) to being aware of one's facial expression when talking to synesthesia to faceblindness to crying (I was shocked to learn that many women report shedding physical tears from sorrow on a weekly or monthly basis) to repetitive PTSD-like school dreams to long-running elaborate daydreams ('maladaptive daydreaming')...

(There's also the funny little lifestyle ones. Like, do you take shoes off or not? Do you take 'navy showers' or let the water run the entire time? Cereal then milk or vice-versa? Do you eat the same thing for lunch every day?)
I think they're using data from 2008.
