A couple of years ago, i myself would downvote my comment above, as it is a complete heresy from a standpoint of someone who believes that people are ruining everything they are touching, and the world was so much nicer before technology, and i thought that simply having less people would solve climate change issues.

But unfortunately that's a very naive view. Even if all people were removed, arctic have already started melting, and it will continue releasing more and more CO2 and methane from it's huge deposits.

Having orders of magnitude less people have been tried already, and that didn't help mammoths and all the other animals that were driven to extinction by small groups of people.

Having no people at all have been tried too, and that was not particularly helpful for dinosaurs, that got killed by a meteorite, which can be stopped by a larger civilization than what we currently have.

In short I am lucky that i understood, that the belief that it is possible to have too many people, technology is harmful, and that we should go "back to nature", is a harmful and unfounded idea. But i'll be happy to listen to arguments supporting it if you have any:
Well, even today it's not entirely useless as a mantra: I have seen a lot of "hardware" and "signals" people in university who when they first had to do something in C or C++ used goto instead of loops and if blocks, coming from an assembler mindset probably where you have to (conditionally) jump (aka goto) around. I had people come to me and ask me "how do you do goto in java" in a java class where I was kinda a TA-A. "Goto considered harmful* (*most of the time, in higher level languages)" still served as a good enough rule of thumb.
Nothing you described was indicative of that person having a "mental illness" so much as exhibiting anti-social behavior.
I wonder if they "fixed" something - I remember them trying to sucker me into the paid plan and there was a way to click back enough/reject their advances to get free again.
I would say it face to face.
I said that, yes. I didn't say anything about results that make people uncomfortable. Can you explain why you brought up the subject?

>> Should the opposite result also be viewed this way?

Does the opposite result coincide with a commonly held preconception?

Physician Burnout Jumps Dramatically in 3-Year Study
Otonomo management will have an even worse day when they realize that they are not indemnified just because someone works for them. They will likely have to kiss a substantial portion of that money goodbye as compensation in whatever settlement will be reached. Their lawyers will not be able to win this one from what I've read and seen so far so the best they will be able to achieve is to settle before it gets to court, fighting this will only make it much more expensive.

OP should figure out if the public stuff is all that was ripped or if it went further, it would not be the first time that an ex employee made off with a copy of the company crown jewels.
Great response, thanks! I am sure Julia will keep growing in use and influence. BTW, really off topic, but I am sometimes inconvenienced by the opposite problem of being very used to using older languages like Common Lisp (and to a lessor degree Prolog) that are still very relevant but are losing mind share. On the other hand just this hour an old customer contacting me to do work in Common Lisp and Prolog so there is still some interest in older languages.
The developing nations would happily sign up if the developed nations made substantial transfer payments (read: trillions of dollars a year) to them in exchange for developing countries reducing their CO2 emissions.

If the developed nations are serious about fighting climate change, that's what they'd be doing.
That sounds like a really miserable way to live.
Anyone else surprised to read that the fleet is all ex-Air China aircraft? That seems like a security hole.
This is obviously terrible, inexcusable behavior...

However, I expected to see that SmartCar (which somehow is not a trademark violation against the BMW marque?) was a scrappy indie startup being violated by a company backed by serious institutional money.

TL;DR; Smartcar is backed by NEA and A16Z. (Crunchbase says they have raised $12mm, which would likely put them comfortably in the top 1% of companies by capital raised.) This is a spat between two well-funded and well-backed companies.

None of this is to excuse the behavior of the Israeli company, just recognizing that the violated company probably has access to more levers than most to fix this.
lumbering forward blindly without responding to the red flags a company throws up is not profitable.
How does Svelte compare directly
To more minimal Reactive libraries like most.js or flyd.js? Even MobX? Besides the dissapearing at runtime? It looks very cool I'd like to see how it performs with some complex DOM opps. Might mess around today.
The DMCA can be used to put a fire under them to file a DMCA counternotice, at which point the whole issue with their hosting provider is done and you are down to the basic question of are you going to file, litigate, and win an actual copyright lawsuit on a timeline and at a cost that leaves you with a viable startup.
Also, I find the claim "Study the Great Nation has become the most downloaded app on Apple’s digital storefront in China" in the article pretty unbelievable. No way it could beat WeChat, Weibo, etc., even if it does have 100 million users.
Norquist is just twisted, sabotaging the government to convince people that it doesn't work. It would cost the IRS almost nothing to send out pre-filled forms, and giving them enough money to audit the wealthy (i.e. ensure they aren't cheating) would more than pay for itself.
A nitpick: wanderlust doesn't mean in English what it means in German. While in German it still means "a desire to hike", in English it is usually associated with travel, a meaning that in German is closer to Fernweh (far-sickness, as in opposition to home-sickness, which is the literal meaning of nostalgia, the Swiss mercenary malady).

It doesn't look like it. A lot of people in science are demanding equality of outcomes for groups (when the outcome is positive). They are well done pass asking for equality of opportunities.
Surprised the author didn't reference the time when Facebook set out to intentionally manipulate hundreds of thousands of people by playing with their emotions [1]. Facebook made like 200,000 people start to feel sad on purpose and bragged about their abilities in a "scientific paper". That's in quotes because their lawyers say that you give your "informed consent" to be psychologically experimented on when you sign up for Facebook.

Facebook does in fact decide to basically torture people into a depression with its power. Facebook is an evil entity and their intentional emotional torture exerted onto its users far surpasses the kind of thing you're quoting NYT for. Not excusing NYT here but Facebook is next-level-evil when it comes to psychological experimentation on unwilling and non-consenting users.

I once knew the guy who was a de facto operations chief for Ali Express from 2010 to 2015. He was saying that he pretty much had to fight with higher ups for them not to purposefully sabotage low end wholesale buyers and vendors.

According to him, his higher ups hated the idea of Ali Express turning into "Cheap Chinese Goods Site®." Just as all Chinese "old boss" types, they had that unhealthy obsession with chasing "high profile" image in everything.

They were fuming about them not being able to enter American market, and that no proper Western brand wanted to play with them.

Few people know, but until Alibaba bought Lazada. Russian market was making Alibaba more profit than all other foreign markets combined, despite them spending zero on marketing there, while American market was eating tenths of megabucks of advertising spendings, and not making a dime.
The US and Canada are reducing their emissions from a much higher per-capita level than China's emissions. You want a participation trophy for that "progress"?

They would know they are in Southside Chocago, which is someone else's home. The author is in Eastern Europe, which is their home, and where people will sing away with Kanye or Kendrick not intending for others to take offence, because that's the rules in Eastern Europe.

If anything, the post comes off as another American complaining that other places aren't like America.

I think you might want to check out WPF + PostSharp for something very similar to this approach in C# land. I definitely think it's the right approach for reactivity.
> Because corporations are just groups of people operating as one legal entity

A corporate entity has rights and powers that ordinary people do not, so they are more than "just groups of people". They are independent entities all their own.

Further, they can only exist because the government grants them that privilege, and the government can technically place any restrictions they like on them. In the past, the government used to require that the corporation serve the public good as part of the conditions for their existence.

I don't think it's right or accurate to characterize corporations as just "groups of people" and therefore they should have the rights of people. The law and the courts don't think so, either, which is why corporations are treated differently (with fewer rights) than people are.
Sure, but neither of them was illegally copying aspects of the others' business. Business models are not protectable.
I don't have any data to back it up but majority of Israeli startups have one goal: to be acquired (and are extremely good at marketing them to acquiring companies and investors). So continue your product and in a couple of years time, they would have been acquired and the product put on back burner by the acquiring company.
Pardon the joke, but just make more money so you can buy temporary wives.

They're very visible in diffs then. And even if accidentally committed they're still easy to spot and eliminate later.
Such a strange country.
That restatement is pretty accurate and I would agree with it.

And I wasn't saying dishonesty isn't bad. I was saying the implication the article makes that they are dishonest is something I disagree with. So "these are dark patterns, but they aren't dishonest" is indeed what I'm saying - you are correct in that. I generally don't view dark patterns as dishonest. I think that's where you really took issue. I find them more of an annoyance to keep an eye out for and circumvent. And I believe nearly all dark patterns can be spotted and avoided simply by paying attention - i.e. which button is actually confirm and which one is cancel, doing a ctrl-f to find the word "unsubscribe" so you can easily find it, actually reading the words on buttons/links rather than using color as a content guide, etc.

EDIT - grammatical error.
The Mac OS app store. The fact you have to have an account to update programs you already have installed on your computer is ridiculous. As is how the system makes you login/register to do anything, the fact it seems to require a credit card number even for free apps as well as the stupidly lengthy registration process in general. Then again, the registration process for Apple accounts in general seems kinda busted, and makes me wonder what the hell happened to their UX designers when coming up with that bit.

For something you can actually do more with?

Well, I guess every A/B testing program I have to use would count there. Both VWO and Adobe Target have their strengths, but it definitely seems like they were designed by people for whom good UI and UX design was not a strong point. Target has a confusing interface with buttons that say save not actually saving the content and rather limited targeting rules, whereas VWO seems to think no one should be able to edit projects associated with multiple subaccounts at once, or that anyone using the code view shouldn't be able to upload new images.

It'd be nice to see one of these tools designed by a company/individual who knows how to design something worth a damn.
> I honestly do not think these small housings have so much popularity among actual dwellers as this article suggests.

Perhaps "popular" isn't the right word here.

If it's not popular, then how can they charge the rents that they do?

A larger space at the same price would only be possible in a less desirable area, and a larger apartment in the same area would be too expensive.

Perhaps you mean they find the small spaces uncomfortable, or even undignified. That could very well be true, but even then, not so much that they are willing to leave.
> But Alibaba isn’t really Amazon’s main competitor (in China)

You mean JD. You could just say "JD" instead of the vague statement.
I think the real problem is that people keep throwing around the word "average" which is insufficient to explain the data. To properly understand what's going on, you need to know both the mean and the standard deviation (the central limit theorem helps with the distribution).

Men and women can have an identical mean across a large number of traits but if the standard deviation is not the same then we can expect large differences at the extremes. This is in fact what we see. Boys' and girls' mathematics scores are pretty much identical at the mean but boys have a slightly higher standard deviation. Boys are thus overrepresented in the 1st and 99th percentiles of mathematical ability.

I think the other problem is that we as society only want to look up, never down. Many feminists demand that we equalize the representation of the sexes in all of the high-paying, intellectual fields (engineering, management, finance) but never in the dirtiest, most dangerous, outdoor fields (mining, logging, fishing, trash collecting) where men are similarly overrepresented.
I was very much your typical computer geek. Started programming in assembly in the 80s in middle school, loved programming, etc.

But, too often, I see business owners taking advantage of developers who have “passion” and drink the kool-aid and are getting underpaid and overworked and then the company has an exit and the owners get rich and rtf developers get very little.

Or there is an acquihire. Even in the case of failure, the contacts and the industry connections that the founder makes leave them with a relatively soft landing.
> How do you do it?

We have a team of people that exhaustively search for players in the same space. The 'Google on various phrases' is more or less the gist of it, the more unique the better.

It's not an automated process so fairly time consuming.

> Are you checking for your customers our on your customers?

We do not check on our customers, we check for our customers. And usually pre-investment.

> If the latter, why do you care (most vendors wouldn't).

You are probably wrong about that, copying something verbatim will get you a C&D pdq in most cases.
It worked great in the West at least, the world was never as equitable and meritocratic as it is today and it is continuously progressing for better according to all factual data.
You blew it. By posting this article and getting to the top of Hackernews you may have alerted their attention and they may rapidly change everything to not seem like copyright infringement. Then you might have weak or no claims.
Every single instance of professional plagiarism that I’ve encountered in my working career has been techpubs/documentation. And that has been exponentially more common for outsourced documentation.

Even solid companies like Arista got bitten by their doc writers cloning Cisco documentation.

So while this sucks, the most likely explanation for the evidence presented is at that layer.
I feel like the world of computer programming is caught in a very fast iteration of the old adage, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Which oddly, I was curious about that quote's origins, so I just went and looked it up. The full quote in context is:

"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana (1863 - 1952) [The Life of Reason (1905-1906) Vol. I, Reason in Common Sense]

This neatly dovetails with the thoughts that were floating in my head. This part, is the explanation I believe, for the current state of programming, "when experience is not retained, infancy is perpetual."
> [Facebook] had told advertisers that it could predict when younger users, including teenagers, were feeling “insecure,” “worthless” or otherwise in need of a “confidence boost.”

> Ironically, that's exactly what the NYT has started doing recently!

No, that's not what the NYT is doing at all, and it's disinformation to say that it is. Facebook was inferring the emotional state of its users, the NYT was inferring the emotional content of its article content [1]. Those are very, very different things.

[1] From your link: "The result was an artificial intelligence model that predicts emotional response to any content The Times publishes... Perspective targeting allows advertisers to target their media against content predicted to evoke reader sentiments like self-confidence or adventurousness." (emphasis mine)
"... it's problematic when that is applied simply because they results are inconvenient in one way or another..."

IMO the problem is that it's not 'simply' because the results are inconvenient in one way or another. That seems like a rather handwavy or dismissing cognitive understanding of what the person is saying. In their perception it is because a given conclusion has a known and studied bias- this isn't particularly simple, nor is it about inconvenience. It is that the evidence provided may have caveats that have also been studied that would skew the evidence to be explained by other factors.

This is similar to the claim about the convtroversies behind global warming or antivax, except the amount of evidence is overwhelming such that the scientific consensus of possible skew is extremely low. I don't know (and have not heavily researched) if brain architecture and gender identity and human behavior (as a trifecta) have the same amount of evidence (I was under the impression that the technology to study the brain architecture is new enough that the research hasn't been wholly settled- if this is incorrect let me know).
Fastly Enterprise Edge Computing Business Model in a Nutshell
The article states there is a dedicated terminal for these flights. The passengers would have to all be pre-cleared - otherwise they wouldn't be commuting to Area 51 at all. It's a short flight, so as long as the driving portion of their commute (on both ends, Area 51 isn't small) is reasonable, the total commute time could be within an acceptable range.
Those are all libraries for state management. Svelte is a UI framework. It incorporates its own state management (https://svelte.dev/tutorial/reactive-assignments for local state, and https://svelte.dev/tutorial/writable-stores for cross-component state), but you can also wrap third party libraries if needed.
