Sorry for the confusion. It's because when moderators or story reviewers re-up a post, as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380, the timestamp is adjusted to be the re-up time, on the front page and the comments page (/item).

Well, not precisely the re-up time—rather the timestamp that answers the question, "when would a submission with this many points have been posted in order to have this rank on the front page". Of the three variables—points, timestamp, rank— rank is normally the dependent one, but on re-upping, timestamp becomes a dependent variable since the software is setting a rank (randomly, but usually around #20).

If you see a timestamp inconsistency on HN, this is likely why. You can always tell which post is the earlier one by comparing the IDs in their URLs. The timestamps converge after a day or two, so the confusion is at least temporary.

The original timestamp remains visible on other pages, such as /from?site=domain.com and /submitted?id=username, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=chkuendig and https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=dailydot.com for the current article.

We started doing this because it turned out that if you lob a story onto the front page with an old (say "2 days ago") timestamp, the thread will turn into "how is this story on the front page when it was posted 2 days ago".

If the thread has comments, the timestamps on those comments also get relativized. (Otherwise the thread would fill up with "how can this comment have been posted before the submission?!!")
The process is open and observable to the public in Sweden as well.

Using the word "fanatics" was needless. I was vaguely thinking of the idea that "nobody who wants to be president should ever be allowed to".

I don't doubt the unpaid French system works well. I'm happy to report the paid Swedish system also works well.

There might not be much for us to fight about. Sorry :)

I think the interaction in this forum thread says a lot about my focus on security. An issue was reported and I jumped on it immediately. I’m not going to sit here and claim to be perfect, but I am going to tell you that I work really hard to make sure I do stuff right and fix my mistakes ASAP. I have had white hat hackers review my API by the way and have patched reported security vulnerabilities.

In this interview, Vaughn said "Social normalization of deviance means that people within the organization become so much accustomed to a deviant behavior that they don't consider it as deviant, despite the fact that they far exceed their own rules for the elementary safety", which seems to me to be pretty close to how people in healthcare and aviation are using it.

These are excellent points. If everyone was forced to pay the true cost of their energy consumption, including not just fuel and up-front capital costs but long-term environmental remediation, accident insurance, and so on, how expensive would the various technologies be?
According to github looks like this came first. Seems like unsplash's attempt at making this? However this service doesn't seem to have rate limiting like theirs.
No contradiction. You can have one system, one small part of that system being no broken windows, where windows are commonly broken. You can have another system with unbroken windows. Repairing the windows and punishing people for breaking them won't magically transform the first system into the second. In fact, it might actually make things worse, depending on how it is implemented. For example, if it's already common to break windows in an area for a wide range of reasons and you start fining broke people money they can't pay and throwing them in jail... you haven't saved the windows, just caused a lot of damage.
"It worked" likely refers to them being more profitable without having the undesirable communities on their platform
Young people with jobs might be less likely to count votes. At the extreme, if you believe you are about to die and want to leave maximum money to your family, counting votes was a sound strategy (due to the benefit paid to families).

And it is low danger but not as low danger as staying home. Many would commute by motorcycle in the open air, much of which is heavily polluted, and staying home would ensure they stick to routines of drinking water and resting during the hottest times.

I go through a pair of sneakers a year, at the least. And these aren't the wal-mart and payless brands either! I'm talking, Reebok or Sketchers that cost ~ $80-$100 USD+. I don't do anything strenuous, just normal wear and tear. But what I can't understand is why it costs so much for a piece of rubber and some canvas (or cloth), only to wear out in a few months time! Communities need places like Payless where $30 or less gets you a pair of shoes that lasts a school year, or 12 months. That's a decent trade off for most people, considering that paying 3X as much (in my experience) doesn't get you 3X the longevity or quality.

I am tired of cheaply made, crap quality, no padding, abysmal traction shoes that cost so much money. At least when I pay the $20-$30 for a pair, my expectations meet the experience.

We have three approved languages - C#, JavaScript and Python.

Of course C# you get all of the advantages of statically typed languages, so for major programs where you wil have multiple developers, it’s the go to language. But for smaller scripts like event based lambdas and scripting type scenarios, C# is overkill. Besides, each piece of AWS functionality is in its own NuGet package as opposed to one package for everything for JavaScript (Node) and Python.

JavaScript - our product is web based. Every developer is expected to know JS. So if someone decides to do a simple Microservice or lambda in C# or JS, it’s okay. Whichever they feel like doing, it’s okay.

We have another team that does a lot of ETL type processing. I doubt that many people would argue that JS is a better language for it than Python. If you are on that team and need to write something, you can choose whichever of the three languages you wish.
He's awfully opinionated about my country and my life without really knowing either topic well. I've spoken with him before. He assumes free medical care would solve my problems. He assumes I have huge medical bills because I'm American.

It's not true. I've basically been a military dependent my entire life. I've always had free or nearly free medical care. It's part of why I'm alive at all.

There are a lot of other issues with his assertions that I wouldn't know where to begin to address and trying to address them at all looks to me like social suicide for various reasons.

So thank you for the sincere and respectful inquiry, but it isn't likely to go anywhere good to try to answer it in earnest in a substantial manner.
The modern ones seem to be very lightly coated if at all. I do think that the reaction that they are impossible to drink from is more than a little silly, though. Maybe if you leave the straw in the drink for many hours it will collapse on you? I haven’t tried that.
Floridan here. All coastal bars/restaurants must have paper straws.

Generally, they're single drink use. You might get a second glass worth if you drink fast.

I don't really notice a wax on them. If they happen to have any.... they might as well not bother.

I'm a born/raised Floridian, so I grew up on all the propaganda about ocean life getting tortured by soda rings, straws and other garbage. One of my transplant friends threw away some some soda rings without snipping them. I lectured/yelled at them for a good 15 minutes and showed them pictures of animals who got caught in the rings.

We give a shit about sea turtles and no one complains about paper straws out of fear of being stabbed to death by Florida man as he protects the sea life.
This read reminded me of one of the famous TOP GUN movie quotes:

"A good pilot is compelled to always evaluate what's happened, so he can apply what he's learned. Up there, we gotta push it."
so, when you claim to deplatform something, then let let them on anyways, you're not doing well?

They don't get to get off scot-free simply because they are in a different jurisdiction.

If they offer their app in jurisdiction A - they are operating under the laws of jurisdiction A, end of story.

I've had good luck with ecco brand shoes. I've gotten a few different pairs from Nordstrom Rack for cheap, the oldest one being 8 years old and still going strong.

I picked up this[1] pair in particular for about $35 3-4 years ago, and they've been my daily drivers ever since due to blending in well with pretty much anything short of formal business attire. And despite being pretty brutal with my shoes in general, these essentially look the same as they did a month or so after getting them.

profit sharing is a terrible financial decision [...] it's basically a bet against yourself.

It's a hedge, which is different than a true bet against yourself (i.e. a short). Semantics aside, surely hedging against yourself is not always a terrible financial decision?

For example, insurance is a hedge. Taking out life/health/car insurance is not always a terrible financial decision.

Taking out a large student loan is tantamount to taking a "long position" on yourself. You are betting that you'll make lots of money in the future, enough to easily pay off the loan.

If that is a good bet for you, go for it. But surely some people want a less risky option, either because they have less risk tolerance or they have lower expectations for their future gains, or whatever.

As another way of thinking about it, profit sharing is selling equity in yourself. If we accept your premise that profit sharing is "always a terrible financial decision", then surely no rational corporation would ever sell equity in itself except as a last resort; they would be financed by debt whenever possible. But of course we can observe this is not how things work.
Content moderation is pretty standard practice and reducing the amount of exposure highly toxic trolls and extremists are able to get isn't super controversial as to it's effectiveness.
Like you said, they didn't look at CS or engineering so your theory isn't supported by data either.

My universty/department's policy is to provide 2 hours of work per credit hour, and the students certainly claim to be spending even more than that! (The truth is likely somewhere in the middle.)

Good point about not being in session year round. It is fairly common to either take summer courses or to do an internship though, which I strongly encourage my students to do! Personally, I took summer courses every year of undergrad and did 5 internships in grad school.
Yep. That what makes Golang so awesome. One person can own one package.
As a driver in a country that respects biking (The Netherlands), it's completely normal to, say, spend quite a bit of time driving very slowly behind a cyclist or two because there's oncoming traffic so no way to pass them without having the whole road available.

It's also perfectly normal to be extremely careful at crossroads because some cyclists consider red lights suggestions.

Of course, when cyclists clearly misbehave there'll be grumbling, but I find it interesting that even in those cases, my 'rage' pretty much never crosses the line of respecting cyclists at all costs. It's just part of how we're taught to behave as drivers (and, I suppose, the legal ramifications that generally favor cyclists, afaik).
No computer runs without human input. My computer isn't firing people right now. Why? Because I didn't set it up to do so.

Please keep the historical information bits of your comments to HN and drop the political battle bits (e.g. "fascist totalitarians"). You don't have to change your politics to post here, but they should not be the high-order element—because when that happens, curiosity is vaporized, and this place exists for curiosity.

I pretty much only make grocery trips on foot. At least for this pedestrian, both reusable canvas bags and disposable paper bags work just fine for bringing groceries home. I don’t think I’ve met anyone who decided to always drive to the market instead of walking because of the plastic bag ban. If I need to lug home more than I can carry in two hands, dragging a wagon works pretty well.

I re-use paper grocery bags as bags for recycling and compost. We get plenty of plastic bags to use for the trash bin from random other sources, but if we ever ran out, they cost a few cents each if you buy a box.

Growing up in Mexico, we carried groceries home (a mile away and over a hill) from the market in baskets or sometimes backpacks, which was quite a bit less convenient than paper bags from a grocery store. I’m not sure why we didn’t use canvas tote bags.
It's not clear the extent to which CMS funding, or high levels of CMS funding, is necessary: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/business/solving-the-shor...:

Dr. Wilensky says that most likely, hospitals lose money on residents in the first year, when the doctors just out of med school waste a lot of time and money on unnecessary tests and treatments. But residents’ value goes up rapidly because the learning curve is steep, while their salary increases are not.

In fact, one data point that suggests hospitals are currently making a lot of money on the more seasoned residents is the quantum leap in compensation on the day doctors convert their status from trainee to attending physician, under a new job contract. How can a doctor be worth paying only $60,000 on Friday and then at least twice that on Monday? Does the doctor’s marginal revenue product — that is, how profitable the doctor is for the employer — actually surge that much?

We don’t know exactly how profitable individual residents are for hospitals because the hospitals can’t or won’t do the complicated accounting to figure it out, at least not publicly. But we can guess, at least, where hospitals believe they make the most money, based on how they’ve allocated their residency slots (both those Medicare subsidizes, and the 17,000 additional jobs that health care organizations have managed to create through other funding in the last decade).

Hospitals are not eager to find out the truth—I wonder why? Certainly doubling or tripling one's salary upon graduation indicates that later-year residents are highly profitable.

Most simply, the match should end and hospitals should be allowed to bid competitively on residents, just like they do for every other job. Then the market will clear and we'll see how much they're actually worth. First-year resident salaries may decline but I bet third-year resident salaries increase.

It's not clear the extent to which less educated medical providers are a problem: https://www.upi.com/Study-finds-no-difference-in-care-betwee... or https://annals.org/aim/article-abstract/2716077/intermediate...
If you need to run some unvetted software, do so in a locked down virtual machine, or at least run it only with privileges of a very restricted unix user.
This is a silly argument. Businesses have to accommodate people with disabilities now. Stocking a few straws is just one more thing. What's wrong with asking for a straw at the store or carrying a few to use if you need them?

There's no reason why the ban can't be put in place there are alternative methods that can be put in place that will meet needs.
First Winning Wars, Only to Lose Them Later
> "Regulating Facebook will be one of the greatest challenges in human history"

Somehow, I don't think that regulating a single company (or even an entire industry) compares with challenges like:

- Landing the first humans on the moon

- Defeating Nazi Germany and its allies in World War II and rebuilding Europe in the aftermath of the war

- Eradicating infectious diseases like smallpox, etc.

- Enacting civil rights legislation in the U.S.

- Toppling Apartheid in South Africa

The EU has already made progress in regulating the advertising/surveillance industry by enacting GDPR. If the U.S. summons up the political will to enact a similar law, Facebook will have been substantially reined in.

At the top of the lorempixel page it says they used to be lorempixum.
I don’t understand the comparison you’re trying to make. Like, not per capita and/or without purchasing power adjusted, sure. What does that prove?
This has morphed into a big conversation that misses the point: OverDrive claims to care a ton about accessibility and publishes open letters proclaiming this. Then, when customers come to them with accessibility suggestions, they have zero interest in implementing them.

This wasn't based on difficulty of implementation (it was easy), and OverDrive never asked how much it would cost or whether libraries would pay extra to have the feature. They did not care enough to even have a conversation with the librarians about it.
Here it's more simple. Any law that's unconstitutional is simply not effective. But heay, why not also put guillotine on the law passer. :)
Maybe Berkeley should spend this energy in fixing its homelessness, crime and housing issues rather than pointless environmental virtue signaling.
Why is paper the first choice? The obvious choice I think is something that doesn't need to go to the garbage immediately but something re-usable such as metal straws or wood straws.
So why can't we spend all this money we're wasting debating what plastic stuff to ban figuring out how to recycle these things instead? (or down-cycle, plastic contaminated paper pulp from cups seems like a natural fit for filter media)
Speaking of the bag tax:

As someone who picks up groceries every week on a bike, a canvas bag is the way to go, purely from a practical, selfish standpoint; if you've ever carried home groceries, you know that plastic bags are probably the worst way to do it. They are hard to handle, prone to tears, and generally unreliable. On the other hand, a large canvas backpack or bag won't tear, can be used plenty of times, and generally works much better.

That plastic ban bag is a good thing -- if you want the convenience of a one time use bag, you should pay for it.
As far as I know, unpaid internships have not really been a thing in software development.

I was an intern back in 1995 and they paid us $10/hour ($16.88 inflation adjusted) and they provided housing on a college dorm. To put that in perspective, the $650 I made after taxes every two weeks was the cost of tuition every quarter at the state school I attended. I made enough that summer to cover my entire senior year including books.
No no no. Allowing people to drive like crazy until they get into an accident is a formula for normalizing very unsafe behavior.
The part that required ICD codes was when we compared our mortality rates to peer hospitals. You could theoretically do this without codes, but a standardized way to classify patients makes it orders of magnitude easier. There are companies that ingest data from hospitals and then give it back with comparisons to other hospitals. That's how we were able to identify the problem.

Hospitals aren't flush with a lot of spare cash, so if doing this required a bunch of complicated text processing then it probably wouldn't have happened, and trying to compare our notes to notes from other institutions just multiplies the nightmare. With ICD codes we all speak the same language.
I appreciate the response. I really do have a lot of respect for what you guys are doing.

But I can't help but feel that it's like communism in China. Sure it's far better than what was there before. But is it the best option?
Rare allergies are pretty much destined to be yet one more burden, no matter how hard we wish that wasn't the case. It's just not feasible to make everything out of materials that won't trigger rare allergies.

One group got lucky with allergies when it comes to one item out of millions. That's not a good reason to lock down the composition forever.

We should help them to compensate for the trouble, but the most effective way is to do it directly. It's possible to use less effort to make them come out ahead, while still keeping the overall benefits from the material switch.
Fair enough :). Thanks for your answer.

I try to use emoji as little as possible myself, but one thing that I find genuinely useful are emoji reactions, because they don't generate notifications. When someone writes "I'm gonna $do_thing if that's okay with you", I can send a :thumbsup: reaction and they won't be disturbed by the notification, yet they can immediately see if I answered. Or when someone has a baby and posts the obligatory image to the team channel, people can pile up those reactions without my phone going pling-pling-pling-pling.

(To be fair, the same can be said about threads, but in my experience, people are way more consistent about using emoji reactions than they are about properly threading their conversations.)
