An interesting aspect of this is the social role of restaurants in the US and abroad. In the US pretty much every restaurant I've been to hands me the check right after I finish my last bite. Lingering in restaurants to socialize is not so much the norm. If you go to a very popular place, you and your party may end up spending more time in the line to get in than on your table. So the tradeoff between going to a restaurant just to eat and getting food delivered is fairly small.

In other countries (e.g., Mediterranean region), it is perfectly normal to linger for a couple of hours after finishing your dinner. The social experience is the point of the restaurant visit, the food and drinks are just a catalyst.
It's longer than that, too:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_domination_of_Vietnam

The Chinese domination of Vietnam began in 111 BC, and is usually considered to have ended in 938 AD. A fourth, relatively brief, 20-year punitive invasion by the Ming dynasty, 400 years later, is usually excluded by historians in discussion of the main, almost continuous, period of Chinese colonization from 111 BC to 938 AD, as is the brief occupation of northern Vietnam by Chinese forces at the end of the Second World War.
The misleading headline (likely not written by the author) is meant to imply the possibility of some sort of hitherto-unknown 1300s trade route.

In fact, the article indicates that the most likely scenario is Portuguese traders blown off course from Timor in the 1500s, but the lede is buried quite far down.

Very interesting nonetheless, but bs headlines and buried ledes piss me off.
The musings on the bottle are made from someone who’s really out there. Perhaps mentally ill. It’s expensive, I think $15 for a 32oz bottle. Lasted two weeks.
Sure. I'm talking about changing where we are on the "stranger" spectrum from say the professional cook of the restaurant you order from to... Maybe some guy with 2 5-star reviews living 5 blocks from you who apparently makes great burgers and who has been loosely vetted by the app... Will you feel comfortable enough to order? I'm sure some people will. But it seems to me that the mental threshold is higher than say taxi->Uber.
Probably just what he was comfy with.
> The big points of emphasis in this latest release are on Ubuntu as a tool for infrastructure development, server deployment, and the good old Internet of Things. For the server version of Ubuntu, the OS ships with all the latest cloud computing tools.

yes, I've noticed. Since 18.04 LTS we've discovered all kinds of automatic updates, automatic security upgrades, automatic monitoring and a new container service all of which have been stopped+disabled+purged. Ubuntu on servers may not be viable if Canonical insists on watching everything we do.
Aha! ...Surely enough, seeing creative memes and jokes like this is part of the reason for me to be online... Now some 4chan denizens have already started making NSFW memes about this project, and I genuinely believed it was a just a meme initially.

But what an unfortunate name it is... You absolutely cannot be associated with these things if you don't want your project to be the next victim of some trolls' plans for the post-modern performance arts or drama, e.g. [0], [1], or [2]. I hope they'll pick up a better name soon.

Ask HN: A tldr legal docs as a service?
Reading 20-page legal docs/terms/policies can be intimidating. I found this https://tldrlegal.com/ which helps with tldr for software licenses. I think there's scope for building a service that could explain long legal docs in plain English.

Yep, the Discord is super active and there's plenty of people to help you out if you hit any snags. But the hardware is super easy to install and ready to go if you have a compatible car.

This is why I left work in advertising. I could see the levels of psychological manipulation 30 years ago and knew with the future of data mining it was only going to get worse. There is nothing ethical about advertising. It's all about what you can get away with. Look at the history of subliminal advertising, though it never got so bad as to have laws enacted when the public became interested in it they realized the game was up and abandoned it.

The industry is full of tiny little battering rams like subliminal advertising. Each attempt yields success or failure, rinse and repeat. The refinement at this point is unfathomable.
Because they didn’t. You’ve fully bought into one fantasy and now are suspicious of any reasoning that contradicts your preconceptions.
A similar case for those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_penny
To me, the fact that Hotz didn’t seem to realize that NHTSA was a thing that existed and that he should be talking to them makes me not trust anything the guy does. If someone can be that colossally ignorant about something that’s so central to what they’re trying to do, and they react to it by basically throwing a tantrum instead of trying to get their shit together and move forward constructively, it calls into question everything about them, including their actual expertise with stuff people think they’re experts in.

It’s like finding out that the neurosurgeon who’s about to operate on you is also a flat earther- it doesn’t directly impact his ability to be a neurosurgeon, but it would be a big red flag that calls everything else into question.

So it’s better to not provide the people in this horrid situation with any dignity in the hopes that something changes and shames society into some unknown action?

Portland IS trying to provide public toilets and a cleaner environment on the streets at least. It sounds like the person profiled for this article actually was able to get her life together. It’s a step.

SF can learn a lot from Portland. For example, it is possible to provide people with the dignity of a toilet while fighting off a lot of the problems that are currently used as an excuse not to provide these: https://www.businessinsider.com/portland-loo-perfect-public-...

Providing these does not make the situation worse or less visible.
I’ve been thinking I wish someone would write a mental model oriented book converting the models for git, react/frp, OO, prototypical OO, Kubernetes, blockchain, DB indexes, peer to peer networking and whatever else.

Maybe each chapter is a different author.

I think mental model first learning would be a lot faster. Each git command can be explained in the mental model rather than as a stand-alone thing.

You could probably sum each one up in 10 pages or less. No code, no commands, just diagrams and a good explqination.
As someone who pays huge amounts of taxes to live in San Francisco, to be perfectly frank, I don’t think it’s necessary to walk through human feces to know we have a homeless problem.

For my fellow ADHD people: Dr. Russell Barkley changed my how I think about every day life with ADHD.

He explains it as not as much of an attention disorder as much as it is a time management disorder: we're nearsighted to time and all its constraints.
It varies. Most people I know joke that it's now "120% time". That is, nobody is going to stop you doing something interesting alongside your expected work.

However, I would argue that the expectations are low enough, that it's easy enough to carve out some time without material impact on your main effort. More challenging is getting a bunch of folks together, if you've got an idea that needs more firepower than just your own effort.

Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella Meadows

Once you start looking for positive and negative feedback loops in the world around you, it's hard to stop. In particular, Meadow's book is great because it also goes beyond +/- loops in isolation, and shows more complicated patterns, such as eroding goal patterns and traps that often cause public policy interventions to fail.
I think it's a terminology problem you're hung up on. Sailors in the military are not technically soldiers; that word is reserved for members of an army.
>Please, do not do this.

I get that people are unable to comprehend the fact that true level 2 autonomy is here and ready to use, but it is. It's perfectly safe to sit back completely disengaged from the controls on OpenPilot, so long as your eyes are on the road (which the software enforces with head tracking). Any sort of situation that could require you to take control is warned in advance.

I can confirm, it is bad, I tried it camping once. But I mean you could uses it if you had no alternatives.
Well, particularly with ADHD, if it’s harder to power through life tasks or remain focused on topics that are not mentally stimulating, it typically means you can hyper focus when you do stumble into something that is mentally stimulating. I think people with ADHD have a high propensity to large successes, or tragic failure because if you don’t find your true interest or calling, it’s harder to carry through something that you find is just ok.

How is this better than buying a refurbished phone yourself and flashing microG+lineageOS on it?
Haha, someone has read the bottle :D
As a counter point I frequently linger and chat at restaurants. They do often bring the check but don’t force you to leave immediately. None of my friends have ever been in a rush to leave either.

Waiters are judged by the promptness of their service and it’s less risky to bring you the check than make a wrong call and annoy a table that’s waiting. The better ones tend to leave you alone.
Dude...the second paragraph of the article is a link to RT's YouTube channel where RT posted a video making the bogus claims that the Times is reporting. There are other links within the article to other RT reports making more such bogus claims.

I don't see how you can claim it is corporate propaganda to claim that Russia is doing something and back that claim with cites directly to sources funded by the Russian government making the claims that the article claims they claim.

I've also done some Googling and can find no backing for your claim that Molly McKew is a deranged conspiracy theorist. Furthermore, she is only one of numerous people cited. You make it sound like the brief mention of her in the article is somehow crucial to the entire article.
I am not. I experience them and suffered the consequences.

ADHD people suffer because we don't meet expectations. Either there is something wrong with us or something wrong with the expectations and I choose the latter and want to help fix it. Saying "something is wrong with me" and wanting to fit in, for me, is the problem. Constantly not meeting expectations is the problem but I deny that not meeting them is the fault.

The world and I do not get along. I do not want to shape myself for the world, I want to shape the world for people like me. Fuck everyone who wants me to be different.

Saying ADHD is a disease is just as offensive to me as saying homosexuality is a disease to be cured.
You should always consider incentives when thinking about regulations. Especially roundabout, second and third order consequences. Those are the ones that get you.

Having safety in mind doesn't make something unambiguously good, fit for purpose, or free of net-negative consequences. The specific content of rule determines that.

Goal oriented self-directed behavior is what distinguishes us from apes.

Underachieving is just inability to deploy your efforts effectively, or even inability to muster an effort in the worst cases. That translates to every domain and aspect of human life from scholastic to social to friendships etc etc etc.

Value is not entirely subjective.
> Do you think people will feel comfortable eating food cooked by "strangers"?

The question is irrelevant. "Uber but for food" isn't going to be randos making meals on demand in their home kitchens, it's going to be increasingly massive (but regulated) commercial kitchens providing meals much like restaurant does. Food preparation benefits from economies of scale.
> but this seems like an unfairly extreme comparison.

Well, millions of people live near major roads. Not everyone has the luxury of living in quiet suburbs and far from traffic.

Yes people can disagree on what "cleaner" code means.

But generally people can agree on badly designed code eg; bad naming, deeply nested logic, bad structure, tight coupling, no separation of concerns...
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be washing up with soap in mountain lakes. Biodegradable doesn't mean it can't harm something before degrading. I find a rinse to be more than sufficient for most of my trail needs. If I need soap for some kind of washing I take some water out of the source and wash elsewhere.

>There's no redundancy, no independent components cross-checking each other, nothing as far as I'm aware to try and provide any given level of reliability.

And yet, it works beautifully. The redundancy is you; it's a level 2 system that works the same as cruise control. There have been no accidents with thousands of people using this to drive thousands of miles a day every day. You can continue waiting and hoping for a hypothetical perfect system, or you can have the future right now.
Home cooking is too personal to be out sourced as a service.

When you cook yourself you optimize for YOUR health, YOUR taste, YOUR budget, etc.

Restaurants and personal chiefs exist for those who would rather trade some of these benefits for convenience.
> Cooking will, by 2040, be a niche activity like e.g. gardening or sewing

This is one of the dumbest things I've read in a long, long time.

Most families simply do not have the money for prepared food to feed their family regularly, and there's no evidence that this is changing at all. Grocery store ingredients are vastly cheaper than anything prepared, and food prep is fundamentally labor-intensive no matter what. The limits of cost advantages from scaling have already been reached: it's called the freezer section, but at most it's a moderate convenience for some.

Further, the graphs show for all income levels that "away" food increased substantially from 1965-1994... and then has stayed mainly the same, actually decreasing from 2004-2007 across all income levels, so there's zero evidence for any trend between now and 2040.

So... a third of meals are "away" and that's been stable over the past 25 years? Sounds to me like people eat lunch out... and that's it.
Any such plans for Mac and iOS app too?

Make a new culture.
To debug the process, you can start with searching Google for your own site. The syntax is: "$searchQuery site:wisaw.com", for eg: "wisaw site:wisaw.com"

I got only 4 results with that search. So those 4 pages are definitely indexed. You can check with different search queries for the rest of the pages.

I observe that it's a photo only website. It's hard to get them ranked better than sites with content. Search engines are smarter now, so adding title, description, keywords, etc does not ensure it ranks better for those keywords. It used to work, but not anymore. Search crawler check for actual content and relevance.

Since its "an anonymous photo" app, you'll have to rely high on word of mouth/social/referral traffic instead of organic sources.

Anecdata. My experience is opposite.
Date also plays a huge part. Most stackoverflow posts get very little votes in the month they were posted but slowly grow as people search a problem and find an answer. The oldest posts have the highest score so something like "How do I change branch in git" will get 4000 points but posting the same thing or a similar thing today will get you a negative score.

Generally very short questions score badly because they will be stuff like "How do I make a video sharing website" but a very similar question like "How do I copy the current line in vim" will score well as long as its not a duplicate.

Both of those questions look similar when you just look the words and sentence structure. To know the difference you have to understand what a video sharing website is and know what kind of task copying a line in vim is so you can know which one is a reasonable question and which one is likely to help more future readers.

The same great advice that applies to Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap also applies to Pure Liquid LSD: DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE! ALL-ONE!
To be honest I do not know anyone who had such a success so anything I say would be speculation.
I work at a place where the culture is definitely "everybody should tidy this up" and it never changes, or it changes very slowly. What I'm finding though is that there's no real defense against this kind of culture other than to be really tight about hiring. So, to your point, if you came to my company asking to look at source, it'd be a good thing -- particularly since so few people actually do it.
