I am a Ukrainian, but I also used to live in the US (working for Facebook 2009-2011 living in Palo Alto and regularly visiting San Francisco, and working at Google 2011-2015 living in NYC), I have now returned to Ukraine. A homeless person has thrown shit at me in San Francisco in 2011 around Powell Station. I have been waiting for corporate bus on Market street to take me to Palo Alto and have seen homeless people brazenly smoking weed across the street. I do not believe you guys are doing ANYTHING to fight drugs despite all the claims.

I am not against drugs, I have plenty of friends who are responsible users. I am not for death penalty (I think I know which comment you are referring to, that was a Devil's Advocate).

edit: as per wikipedia [1] there are ~7k homeless people living in San Francisco. As per the same article it is said that SF spends $241M on homeless people. This averages out to ~34.5k$/year ~= $2870/month. I will never believe that average homeless person is getting $2870 worth of goods and services per month. I'm saying that your homeless program is grossly inefficient. The same way as your drug war is an utter joke.

Most of the boomer airline pilots will be retired in the next decade. The number of pilots in the US currently is about half of what it was in 1980. I'd imagine the demand for air travel has not decreased by half in that same time frame.
Out of curiosity, considering your teeming confidence on this, have you spoken to many Ukrainians? I lived in a country (practically) bordering them, and their sentiment regarding Russia mirrorred ours. Bit too much, we have both gotten in conflict with them, over the last decade or so...
During school summer holidays back in the day at Richvale Telecommunications, I and a few of my friends there, including a guy named Troy Hacker (not making this up!) spent most of a summer reverse engineering the "OS" for the 4040 and 8050 disk drives.

The 6504/6502 pairing in the drive with the 6504 handling disk controller operations and the 6502 handling IEEE 488 bus communications was ... interesting. Especially later on when Commodore created the 1541, where they emulated the functionality of the original 4040 design by doing everything via software on a single 6502, including the GCR decoding step which was handled by a dedicated ROM in the 4040 - all presumably to drive down the cost of the drive.

Since we didn't have a memory map of the drive (and certainly no easy way to debug code running on it) we had to read the boot code to figure out what it did and construct our own memory map from that. I still remember the moment when my 13 year old self realized that the code I was reading was blinking the drive LED lights as part of the POST test and then figuring out what the different error codes that I had never seen before were. Good times.

> It's hard to build a great website, particularly one which works well on mobile.

You know what would really fix this? Developers doing their work. Deeply knowing and understanding the consequences of their work and how everything comes together in the end and leads to a slow website or not.

We don't need to put even more power in the hands of Google, because we (as in "some developers") don't know how to do our job right and therefore punish the internet as a whole.

There is no valid reason for the use of AMP. It's only there because a) developers fucked up and b) Google forces you to use it. If we would fix a), I'm not sure b) would even be a valid point anymore.
I also have a checklist for trips. But I haven't been able to come up with other use-cases in everyday life so far.

> Sir — A. J. Tatem and colleagues calculate that women may out-sprint men by the middle of the twenty-second century (Nature 431,525; 2004). They omit to mention, however, that (according to their analysis) a far more interesting race should occur in about 2636, when times of less than zero seconds will be recorded.

This analysis fails to account for the prediction that in early 27th century FTL speeds will be achievable and a woman would invent a relativistic shoe that would allow here to wind the 100 meters dash.

Granted, it can be an issue of Twitter ranking content. After all, they could just decide to not ever show any robotics content at all, and only show celebrity sneezes.

What I mean by human nature is that humans will always follow celebrity sneezes, and seek to slack off.

I don't think Twitter could invent a ranking that would give the robotics enthusiast a following of 10 million people and weed out the celebrity person. They could do that - but people would stop using the service and switch over to Instagram.

One major issue, once social networks introduce ranking, is the question who they rank for. If the algorithm tries to maximize engagement, it will happily promote the celebrity sneezes. Of course algorithms could optimize for other things (personal development or whatever), limited by people actually keeping to use the service.

In the early days afaik Twitter had no ranking and filtering at all.

You have to be crazy to think that Google has nothing to do with the degraded experience of their services using the Firefox browser.

One example is Recaptcha, if you use Firefox, you will be asked to confirm the Recaptcha almost all the time. Switch to Chrome and your problems disappear.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1238593

It is only one of the several different things they did against Firefox. YouTube would be another one.

The reality is that Google created those problems for Firefox to brag about how Chrome was such a better browser etc ..

I wish Chrome had won the browser battle based on merit and innovation and not shaddy tactics and shenanigans.

>Pilots solved most of these problems decades ago.

In the safest planes (commercial airliners), pilots have systems recording their control inputs, and these can be used to directly attribute damage to/loss of the airframe to pilot malfeasance; the shame of a clear screwup will be clearly documented and in most cases, divulged to the public.

Medical professionals, on the other hand, seem to face a lower standard of accountability simply because it's truly far more difficult (if not impossible in some cases) to monitor all the variables associated with treating a patient compared to monitoring human-designed systems. I have to wonder if this epistemic quagmire where cause and effect are not necessarily tracked (and in some cases, not even truly understood) leads to a mindset that is more willing to write off negative outcomes as the result of external factors (comorbidity, patient age, patient adherence to physician instructions, even pure luck/probability) than tackle the tough problem of correlating personal behaviors and actions to distinct outcomes.
In this case, government regulation makes SCA required; but in Europe most banks already practiced SCA. For free.

Here payment card fees are also far far lower because we don't have a credit card mentality of always seeking that tiny percent cashback, so these are much rarer in Europe. We also have banks themselves competing with Visa and MasterCard, for example in Belgium with bancontact. The banks offer merchants even lower fees for these.

So yes in some worlds the fees are passed down to the consumers. In other worlds, you have the United States.

You may be interested in the view from up North. Joseph Heath, a Canadian academic has commented on how the top three Canadian schools teach more students than the top ten American schools. I'll excerpt:

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

"
But of course there’s a reason that it’s so difficult to get into Yale – it’s because Yale has only 5,400 students, in a country of over 315 million people! By contrast, McGill has over 30,000, and University of Toronto has 67,000 undergraduates, serving a country of only 35 million people. That means there’s roughly one spot at Yale for every 58,000 Americans, compared to one spot at McGill for every 1,100 Canadians. No wonder American life is more competitive.

Furthermore, all of the best schools in the United States are tiny. Here is a list of the top 10, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report, along with the number of students (undergraduate, I believe):

Princeton: 5,336

Harvard: 6,658

Yale: 5,405

Columbia: 6,068

Stanford: 7,063

Chicago: 5,590

Duke: 6,655

MIT: 4,503

Upenn: 9,682

CIT: 997

Dartmouth: 4,193

That means the top 10 universities in the United States – a country of over 315 million people – at any given time are educating a grand total of only 62,150 students.

By contrast, here are the rough numbers of undergraduates at the top 3 Canadian universities:

McGill: 30,000

UBC: 47,500

UofT: 67,000

So the top 3 Canadian schools are at any given time educating a grand total of 144,500 students – more than twice the total of the top 10 U.S. schools. (In fact, the University of Toronto alone has more student capacity than the top 10 U.S. schools combined.) The United States has almost exactly 9 times the population of Canada, so in order to have the same sort of capacity in higher education, the top 27 schools in the United States would have to have 1.3 million students."

Full article here: http://induecourse.ca/the-bottleneck-in-u-s-higher-education...

----------

I should also add that U of T, McGill and UBC are extremely good schools, and the people who go to them are very smart. I teach LSAT prep, and find that students at those schools tend to have high average scores, comparable to the US top ten.

I have no idea why US schools don't take more students. Whichever one of them broke ranks would make untold amount of money.

I wonder if part of the issue is that they're generally non-profits and so money motivation doesn't work the same way it would in the private sector. Meanwhile, the US government system is generally broken and so no one pushes the universities to expand the same way Canadian ones do.

That last bit really got to me too. It seems like a lot of pride and guilt are mixed in with whatever else might be going on. Yes, 12,000 people there, half a million in the country, but someone is trying to help her. So if she would let them, they could then help someone else. And then maybe she could double the effort by helping out others herself.

That all seems so easy sitting here in my air conditioned office and not having experienced anything in her life. I'm sure it's far more complicated than that.

I don't particularly agreed with the parent, but the honey bees in most places in the world are non-native species that are introduced to produce honey and pollinate large fields, orchards, etc. For example in the American Midwest we have European honeybees everywhere, and they displace native pollinators (bumble bees, native butterflies and skips, etc). All told it's not a big deal but I can see an argument for removing them where they aren't native.

What is with HN always deleting the word "Why" from the beginning of titles? I get that it can be a filler word, but it can also significantly change the meaning. For example, the blog post that introduced Julia to the world was titled "Why We Created Julia" [1] and if the "Why" had been deleted it would have completely changed the sense of that title. In this case, it's a fairly benign change, but I've seen this drastically affect the meaning of posts recently. It seems like a bad practice that is at odds with HN's excellent policy of respecting original titles of articles.

I'm not a troll. I'm writing from an account that is tied to my real name. This was my personal opinion. Also to clarify: I'm not against drugs.

You are doing barely anything and claiming that it's not working.

Yes. I was a competitive athlete for years and filling that void after leaving the sport was very difficult. To be honest I dumped a lot of that energy into my work but I've realized over the last few years that I need something equally satisfying at home that has some type of competitive aspect to it. Otherwise I get very bored very quickly at home and will spent way too many hours in the office.
I'll save you the read with this gem:

Oh, the irony. An article about college class that teaches people to spot bad information online is itself full of standard techniques journalists use to manipulate people.

I see this one a lot lately. Someone drops a phrase that assumes something the author wants readers to remember and believe. The phrase is usually oddly specific, while the author pretends to convey a general idea or talks about something entirely unrelated.
> the ability of the secular to debate and convert is trumped by the ability of the religious to reproduce.

Perhaps that’s true in a global sense, but that doesn’t mean Christianity is devoid of individuals who can clearly and logically defend their position in debate against secularists and atheists. William Lane Craig comes to mind, among several others. You might not like listening to him, but he certainly doesn’t rest his case on an assumed moral authority or any other fallacious logical grounds.
