Quite. The supply argument implicitly assumes that there is no limit on the amount of money available to express demand - and the sound of hollow laughter is now heard in the background from the working class.

That's actually quite sad.

But you said it yourself: "several career paths would likely have made me happier".

What's the point in living if not to be happy? Money is just a means to avoid unhappiness. It's been proven time and time again that after a decent income money does not increase happiness.

One per offense.

Also, if the docs are registered copyright, willfull infringement per offense is over $100k per instance.

Thoughts?
I don't honestly know if we've done any comparable experiments with it; we still operate somewhat like a research shop, but we've been dependent on real-world contracts since the 90s so we haven't had as much opportunity for pure research. Not for a lack of interest, of course.
and the carbon footprint. I'm supposed to conserve gas or take the train to reduce my footprint, meanwhile there's 20 or 30 flights/day, probably not all full, going from vegas to groom lake, guzzling gallons of jet fuel per second.

I'm really surprised about India, that's news to me, I knew about the US and Western Europe situation but that doesn't equate to the rest of the whole world, as I was saying. I have to say that I'm a little skeptical about your claim of them dominating SE Asia, as a quick search drove me to this article from September 2018 [1] where it says that they're about to enter the market in Indonesia (which dwarfs Australia in terms of future potential) after Alibaba had done the same thing.

The expected investment also doesn't match Alibaba's, the Chinese have apparently come up with $1.1 billion while Amazon is coming with only half of that value, i.e. $600 million. But maybe they're doing better in Thailand or Vietnam.

None actually. I have a high threshold for upvoting, so my upvote history tends to be it's own record of things I found insightful or useful (with some humorous things thrown in occasionally) :)
From that article:

> And, as The Atlantic story points out, other groups have found in the past that facial recognition algorithms developed in Asia were more likely to accurately identify Asian people than white people; while algorithms developed in parts of Europe and the US were able to identify white faces better.

Maybe Wakanda can share their facial recognition tech and we can combine them all into a fair model? (Joking about the first part, obviously, and about the second part, e.g. Aboriginal Australians, Maori, etc that don't neatly fit into those three categories.)
Oh I understand your comment now, I was completely thrown off by the mention of "women" in general.

I believe I clearly understood my mothers intent here, I am comfortable defending the statement, where am I ambiguous in my understanding?

I can call her if you want me to confirm but in my opinion her words were incredibly concise and clear.
It's slightly ironic that the source page cites the Einstein quote about simplicity and yet, one of the central equations of antenna link design is the "Path Loss Equation" which is in fact, simpler than possible. :)

Here is Herrington's response to Raghavan: https://empslocal.ex.ac.uk/people/staff/mrwatkin//zeta/herri...

I have a degree in mathematics so after brief research, so I am inclined to believe the proof is indeed flawed, especially if it addresses a problem as high-profile as RH. There is a good point in his reply which actually applies to academia everywhere:

"Assuming this media report is accurate then it raises an issue mentioned in Note 1 which is that Eswaran 2018 contains no evidence, such as an acknowledgement, of independent expert review. As a professor, presumably with contacts in academia, and also with many senior scientists approving the proof, it seems reasonable to assume that Professor Eswaran could have found at least one suitably qualified person to review the proof. "

Media attention cannot be a substitute for rigorous peer review.
I expected this to be a " I had the idea first" post. But it is actually a copyright infringement post AND makes the offending company look like a bunch of hacks.

Directly copying a document is simple copyright infringement. Just because it's documentation doesn't mean everyone has a free license to copy and redistribute it.

Whether or not any violations occurred in copying code probably depends on whether any employees with company secrets were poached and involved in development. That's a very big, well known no-no amongst tech companies. It's why Compaq had a complete "clean room" to reverse engineer the IBM PC.
The question the title raises is answered in the first paragraph, which consists of two sentences.

I really wish we could get past this phase of referring to every title that tries to gather interest by using a little bit of mystery as clickbait in a pejorative way. There's a middle ground between writing being manipulative and misleading and writing being fact based and dry.
> "Market forces" is just another way of saying "individual choices"

This is false because my individual choice matters infinitesimally less in the market than the choice of Coca-cola or any other large big corporation. In the other hand, I have a lot more power in the market than a homeless for example. So the right answer is that market forces are "weighted individual choices", and when a few of these individuals have billions in their bank account my individual choice is worth close to zero.
Ask HN: What's the best sleep tracking device?
Context:
- Apple's bedtime isn't good enough. Need a better solution.
- Must integrate with Apple HealthKit.
- I travel a lot, so the ideal solution is compact.
- Optimizing for data accuracy 1st, data points 2nd.
- Wearables like Oura ring are fine, but I prefer non-wearable.
Interesting analysis. One of the better data sets I've seen. Most real estate analyses stop at "median price" and attempt to draw a ton of conclusions from it.

Also interesting that the vast majority of the tech buyers are from the older companies - Google, Apple, Salesforce. Not that surprising.

The flashy start-ups do make people rich, but it's usually a handful of people. I'll bet the majority of those tech buyers have worked at FAANG for 5-10 years. Got lucky that their equity increased a decent amount, but still took a number of years to save for a down payment.
There are similar undocumented limits for how many open TCP connections you can have to an instance, which vary depending on the instance size and whether or not your security group rules require connection tracking.

And don't get me started on the opaqueness of the capacity of your ELB at any given point in time. I once had a fun week capped by AWS support recommending I create multiple ELBs and round-robin traffic across them.
I could see the logic of the argument "these aren't dark patterns", or (to a lesser extent) "these are dark patterns(and therefore dishonest), but dishonesty isn't bad". I'm having trouble working through your argument "these are dark patterns, but they aren't dishonest". Might a fair restatement of your argument be something like: "Reasonably informed people should know that Intuit is a profit-seeking entity, and should therefore expect Intuit to pursue all legal means to increase profit"?
I think the vast majority of people's mood, stress and physical health would improve if they had more money.
Hmmm, There's Curlie - the reboot of dmoz

The topic of the article discussed is an approach reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere, to fight the current and ongoing climate change. This sets the context for the discussion. Yes, in geological times, we had much higher CO2-content and some of the plants are still rather optimized for that. This is interesting information, but is an entirely different topic - though it is an argument often used to deny the harmful impact of CO2 onto the climate.

Also, the sole concern of the human species is the survival of the species. Of course we should try to ensure this survival in the most ethical way. Protecting the environment comes from those concerns. Climate change is a very big danger to our civilisation right now.
Thanks a lot.

I wouldn't go for almost any online store if I look up luxury items anyway. ;)

But when you want to get 4 cables of this kind, 2 cables of that other kind, 3 LED arrays, and 2 books -- which total $35 -- it feels pretty awful to actually have to pay about $65 due to delivery fees and whatnot.

So I am thinking that for all those smaller purchases I'll just go for Alibaba.

(BTW I also noticed our customs caught up on lower-cost items' VAT and it's not pleasant.)

Appreciate the feedback.
The irony of strengthening corporate power over government is that corporations will naturally rush in to occupy the most malignant aspects of government.

In the case of Intuit, the government opts out of providing a service so that a corporation can seek rent.
Good opinions here. I worked at very early stage startup, and our huge competitors with 1 billion worth of funding were stealing our shit from day 1. Thankfully, we didnt spec out a nice API and all that shit because we were in startup mode. That makes it a bit harder to copy things our stuff because it was a huge pile of undocumented software and data.

I think that is just life in tech now. You put out a 'feature' in your app that is new and cool. Two weeks later the same feature shows up in your competitors app.

In our case, always better to be ahead of the curve. You've got a small team with 20 folks who are putting pressure on the 100 person teams at these giant companies.

Java didn't succeed in terms of running code in a web page but it has been wildly successful in regards to "write once, run everywhere". It is widely deployed and has been successful isolating code specific to a particular OS or platform.

While it's clear that Javascript has been successful in the "run code in a web page" sense, it's primary deployment target remains the web browser; even when it's marketed as a cross-platform solution it's often targeting something like Electron.

WebAssembly has its work cut out for it trying to succeed in both of these spaces. I think the project might enhance it's chances for success by remembering Java and its browser plugin rather than pretending they are the first.
A shift in society that triggers higher population growth is actually more likely than you might think due to evolution. Groups that have cultural norms that increase fertility rates will steadily increase as a fraction of the population. As long as those groups can pass down their beliefs to their children with high probability, evolution will see those groups eventually become dominant.

A good example of this would be the Amish population, which has very good retention and fertility rates leading to quite high population growth.
Unfortunately for the little guy it's the winner take all market. If the well-funded company wins at the end, no one would even remember the other one existed. Is it ethical? Depends on your ethical stands. Happens all the time.
They'll fire a couple people and everyone will forget in six months. That does nothing to discourage this type of behavior moving forward.
What is the advantage of doing that instead of using an IObservable that can filter on the event name in C# or, even better in F#, having an exhaustive pattern match that automatically casts the argument to the expected type and notifies you at compile time if you forgot to handle some cases?
That seems totally backwards to me. Did you mean "unlikely"? The higher profile the investors, the bigger the news story if something dodgy's happening.

In either case, how does that relate to the existence of a reasonable explanation?
What complicated rules? The basic 1040 is perfectly straightforward, even if you have a few sources of income or special deductions/credits.

For reference, what you call a 'cross section' is sometimes called an ideal or a downset. I can't quite make out your definition of 'surface', but, if it is meant to read "the set of all points x in A such that for all y in A we have not y > x", then it is the set of maximal elements of A. I'm not an expert on posets, but, if I've got the terminology right, your notion of convexity sounds like you want to deal with a ranked poset with unimodal h-vector.
I think the single most important part of starting out at the gym is to keep it as simple and friction-less as possible. The most important thing is to go consistently for a couple of months. Most failures happen when a person skips one day, than decides to call the week, and snowballing from there to not going.

If you've never been to the gym, a lot of the equipment may be intimidating, so skip it for now. For the first couple of weeks just get on the treadmill/elliptical/whatever for 30 minutes. As you build a routine, you'll be able to branch out from there.

"Requiring a higher burden of proof for findings that someone might be uncomfortable with is bad science. The burden of proof must be equally high for everyone."

If the burden of proof is set at the level in which a statement can be made such that there is evidence that cannot be explained by other phenomena then both of you can be correct.

(TBH I don't agree that one level of skepticism should be warranted for all things. If someone claimed P=NP my expectations are significantly higher than if someone claimed that HN commentors primarily comment in English.)
But how can I incentivise people to do things like buy hybrid or electric cars, solar, etc without tax breaks, and how do I do tax breaks without complicated calculations based on laws pseudocode) and a bunch of other numbers?
Holy crap. The only way forward for Bessemer et al. VCs is to immediately withdraw their funding for this “company” and cut all ties in order to prove that they had no forewarning that this is how their money was being used. There are so few actors this visibly bad that if they didn’t do anything they would become “that guy” everybody avoids, in both the deals and funding space, when orgs do their due diligence.

So they could choose to not do anything, which means the only companies approaching them in the future are the desperate ones, and they lose the capital anyways to the markets due to a shoddy portfolio.

Don’t knife your intangibles.

I hope the VC notices this. At best they invested in a lazy company. At worst, fraudsters.

If they actually believe the idea has merit, they should do right by Otonomo.
I am sorry to hear that but it is does not really surprise me. I bet they will just rewrite their docs a little bit and then go on with their business.

Amazing that they have 55M$ in funding and still hire a bunch of amateurs. I bet the design for their docs is based on some free online template too because it looks very cheap.

I wish you all luck!
What I learned from my failed attempt of writing baremetal android in Rust
From the tutorial:

> Svelte is giving us a warning:

> A11y: <img> element should have an alt attribute

> When building web apps, it's important to make sure that they're accessible to the broadest possible userbase, including people with (for example) impaired vision or motion, or people without powerful hardware or good internet connections. Accessibility (shortened to a11y) isn't always easy to get right, but Svelte will help by warning you if you write inaccessible markup.

Thank you! We accessibility advocates have wanted this kind of checking to be built into mainstream development tools for years. I hope Svelte becomes popular for this reason alone.
You can't copyright an API, right? What are you asking them to stop doing in the c&d? Copying the website and documentation?
Strongly disagree. How specifically does profanity affect the authoritativeness of the code?

Your comment comes off as out of touch and old fashioned.
I also dislike most pdf viewers. I got a little obsessive about it and eventually concluded that the best options are PDF-Xchange on Windows and PDF Expert on MacOS and iOS
I'm afraid so. On-premises is expensive (VERY expensive). I tried to estimate the necessary pricing for on-premises deployment and the final price was never attractive to customers. In all cases it turned out the need for on-premises deployment was not a business need (we must deploy this locally because of X and Y, which implies a value of Z in USD), but rather a point of view (I'd rather have this locally because that's what I prefer).

Why is it expensive? On-premises deployment means maintaining a separate version of the software, a complex arrangement to make upgrades, inability to fix potential upgrade problems by modifying the database, having to maintain deployment documentation, having to always have code that creates a database from scratch (rather than migrating an existing one), extending legal arrangements for third-party services, additional configurations that need to be tested and much more. It constrains development in many ways.
NYT is still A/B testing this feature. It appears to be enabled an increasingly higher percentage of page loads over the past few weeks.
I spoke to employers of friends who were open to the idea. Small (but post-startup, I guess) tech companies that I found through my personal network. I also talked to a recruiter I know, but he didn’t have much luck finding anything for me.
Are you being deliberately obtuse? It's the contents of the tables that have been ripped off.
Filing taxes is crazy complicated though. When I got my first job in high school, it was still confusing, even with turbotax (which is free under a certain income). There's so many bits and peices even for individuals with "simple income structure". The vocabulary is unfamiliar, how do I report my savings account earnings? Do I need to if they were only 50c?

My buddy has to report expenses of a certain kind, and it's complicated to do that even with turbo tax too.

Haven't even gotten started on people with crypto-investments, freelancing, multiple jobs, dependants, etc.

Yes you can totally learn that stuff on your own, but there's 0 chance you can expect the general population to be capable of doing their own taxes without messing stuff up.

Since you are reading here Rich Harris; while I really admire your solutions, one weak point with Svelte seems to be a clear unit testing solution, or at least docs last I looked. I also noticed this with Ractive, and feel it weakens these in the eyes of many businesses considering these tools.

I know it's a solved/solvable problem but it feels like better docs and samples in quick start guides would help.
They could just say "Our API is identical to the Smartcars API, documentation can be found here (link)". Smartcars might even be happy about that as it's free advertising.

The way they did it looks much shadier, but I doubt it's actually illegal. The longer text blocks are all original, even if clearly inspired by smartcars. The descriptions of paramters is mostly copied verbatim, but I have my doubts it's copyrightable, after all there are only so many ways to describe what "access_token" does. The overall structure of the documentation is also clearly copied and is probably protected by copyright, but it's easily changed.
You are making a straw man argument. No one is saying "corporations should have no rights of advocating and the state to have unchecked and arbitrary power over all of them."

The idea is, should corporations have all the same free speech rights as individuals, or can we limit them? I can think of at least one reason why maybe we should limit them: accountability. If I yell fire in a crowded theater I can be charged with a crime. A corporation can be as well, but in practice enforcement is problematic. There is also the question of moral accountability. If I write an Op Ed saying kids should smoke cigarettes I have to live with it. If a company runs an ad campaign it's hard to know who really is responsible.

But I understand why people disagree. This isn't a simple issue.
Couldn't they have written exactly the same things, taking inspiration ?

What I don't understand is with all of this tracking, ML profiling... Why don't I get ads that are relevant to me at all? I'm very active all across the internet, proactively rate ads as "not relevant to me", would actually be interested in learning about products that I might like. Have disposable income... Yet nothing, just a sea of hot garbage ads that might as well be noise. I can't recall ever seeing something relevant enough to click on.

I think the effectiveness of all of this stuff is way overrated. I have money, I will spend it, but with all the tech in the world the industry still can't put a relevant ad in front of me.
