I encountered rot today when I was trying to repair a set of speakers. I found the guide on some audiophile forum, step by step with pictures for every removed screw and multiple angles. Only the pictures were originally hosted on photobucket and since retroactively removed.

Some reddit users are egregious about it, installing scripts that overwrite their comments after x amount of time, seemingly oblivious to the fact that every edit on reddit can be found through archival tools. The solution is to take better care to not conflate your anonymous online persona to your real life persona—just don't post identifying information publicly online and you will be head and shoulders above many users on the internet in terms of privacy. There's no need to purge the internet of it's collective knowledge and history.

We are very lucky to have the wayback machine preserving this stuff from dissapearing into the void, but it doesn't cache everything on the internet, especially if that forum I visited had shut down and became impossible to find in a search result.

Side note: Is there an extension or bookmarklet available to automatically pull a web archive?
Their tuxedos are at the dry cleaners.
Most of the stuff they're doing seems to be entirely commonplace for the supermarket chains we have here in Norway.

The coins for the carts.

Stacking crates instead of individual items.

Training every employee for everything (it's not uncommon to see a store manager operating the cash register).

Expecting customers to fill their own bags and charging for those bags.

Smaller selection.

The only unique part seems to be the tendency to promote the shop's own brand over name brands.

On a related note: Lidl tried and failed to get a foothold here in Norway with similar tactics. It didn't work. Perhaps because our mainstream store chains are already so similar to Lidl, except our domestic chains offer actual name brand products and the Lidl stores didn't, and I think that's why they failed. Also, people who are really desperate to save money can just go to Sweden to shop. It's not a very long drive.
The prosecutors embedded a tracking image in an email that they sent to journalists and the defense. It's not just for tracking to see if the recipients have opened the email, but it could help them identify who the email is forwarded to.

In this case, the journalists have confidential sources, they may forward that email to them, which would leak the source's IP, which could reveal the identity of the source.

A free and strong press is how we keep powerful institutions in check. It is not an inflammatory statement to say that a reprisal by a government institution that has been accused of doing something unethical is unethical. It's just common sense.
It's mostly the weather. I prefer the weather in Miami to the weather in SF by just a little bit, but if I were homeless, it wouldn't even come close. I would vastly prefer the weather in SF.

The weather is a big factor in peoples' decisions to move places. It's near the top of the list in any discussion on which city people would prefer to live in on the city-data forums. People who aren't homeless take the air conditioning or heating for granted when comparing the weather in two different cities.
Yeah, they're often referred to as "crust punks" or "crusties" (and I think that's the name they use for themselves). Plenty of articles about them- absolutely homeless by choice, and migrate up/ down the East Coast (often by hopping freight rail) seasonally https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2018/07/27/summer-brings-wave-o...
Does anyone know where the data came from that made this plot ?

Ok, thanks. I might take a look at some of Osprey's other bags. They seem to have similar options without the hip belt in their "duffel" section.
dataset will be quite biased - few fat people, few people of color, few very young and very old.
It's not that, it's that they use inconsistent and non-standard formatting.

For example, in JavaScript, there is always a space before a function's opening curly bracket. This is pretty much a global standard, and it's rare to see code that doesn't follow this rule.

However, I'll occasionally see code on Stack Overflow that randomly excludes these spaces. It honestly makes it so much harder to read, and I'm less willing to put in the effort to help them, because they didn't even go to the effort of properly formatting their code. Inconsistent indentation especially kills me because it makes code impossible to read.
> I wonder if 'lack of crushing' can be bad for C-section births?

I don't think they mentioned anything about anything in the "pro" for the deformation - in fact "These MRI findings suggest that the fetus is subjected to greater stress than previously thought, which could explain the high incidence of asymptomatic brain hemorrhages and retinal hemorrhages found after normal vaginal delivery."

This is something we've adapted to deal with, it's not an ideal event.
Pretty sure the press would bump their forehead on a journalism bar set that high.
Sure people will give you their time. It's very simple to get. Pay them.

It's called an inducement for a reason.

Too many "product people" or "visionaries" or whatever just don't know how to do user research and validation.

Too many people also have no idea how to solicit unbiased feedback and too many rely on asking questions and not nearly enough observation or testing.
They don't offer a free service, they offer a paid service, you are indeed the customer. They also don't have another service that even could pull the data from FM.

> For consumers a trade deficit is actually pretty sweet.

That's textbook economics. It's called "textbook" because it is theoretical, and even then it assumes that all other things remain the same. Deficits don't impact every country the same way. In any case, no economics textbook will claim that decades-long deficits are good for the consumer.

> You can also see it this way: America gets 500B worth of goods from China, in exchange for currency it can simply print.

Another way to look at it would be in the slow deindustrialization of America and the bleeding out of hundreds of thousands of once middle-class jobs that kept the American economy ticking. Those jobs have moved abroad because it looked better for C-level execs whose compensation is tied to their stock price, not because of any BS about comparative advantage.

People making textiles or auto parts can't switch to data science jobs overnight, even though the economics textbook says that's what should happen, all other things remaining equal.
Also very prevalent in Boulder.
not sure but we had to leave the SCIF to access the internet and it was very annoying.

> The increase in unsheltered people was driven largely by people living in vehicles, accounting for 68% of the increase in unsheltered people.

Seems people are using vehicles more and that looks to be the largest contributor. Me and my SO have considered such an idea because we've been open to the idea of living in tiny houses, etc. (We live in a 400sqft in-law unit now) We also know people who have lived out of them. Quite happily btw.

Things like this don't really give you an idea if it's forced or willing homelessness. Sure, maybe everyone would love a $3m home in Palo Alto (also known as "a home" in the rest of the country) but they're willing to suffer a bit to save some serious $$$ like we all do in various ways.

Anyway - would like more insight and look forward to the full report coming out whenever it does.

That's weird because for the first 6 weeks or so my "Discover Weekly" was all hits by bands I already knew. It did fairly quickly transition to deeper cuts and more obscure artists though.
I'd be interested to know if that is the case, perhaps someone can test it somehow.
It helps if you just imagine that every large brick and mortar chain in the Nordic countries operates kind of like IKEA. Lots of self service, spartan shop interior, and also, since labour is expensive here and you can't fuck your employees over with low wages like you can elsewhere, store owners tend to want to cut down on the number of staff.
It happens in Hawai'i, too. I volunteer at a homeless shelter and routinely serve young people. Some of them have nicer clothes than I do.

There is an episode of Portlandia satirizing young homeless people too, so I'd imagine that is another example.
Uhh.... With what goals? Why 14 days? What scope? What industry? What target market? What are your skills? What language? How big of a team? Whats the budget?

Gmail will download images and serve them from Google servers to prevent this issue. Perhaps you can setup a similar plugin to automatically upload images to imgur or similar before the client displays them.
SF does a homeless census every 2 years. It answers many of the questions you might have. Eg in the 2017 census:

* 69% were from SF and 21% from elsewhere in CA (10% out of state)
* 39% reported psychiatric or emotional conditions

Ha. I have a lot of those papers too, but none that are BS in such a high tier, congrats! (or "congrats")

At this point I am cynical enough to believe people include analysts on their papers as an insurance policy to have the "licensed" person to give the seal of approval, and take the blame if necessary, for their shitty data. Which they will never listen to concerns about before publication.

Just today I am working on a qPCR array (yes people still use those) with one "housekeeping" gene replicated 4 times for ddCt normalization. 80 miRs go up, none go down, out of 400. No one sees any problem with this, the data is the data.

Them: Oh, and can you, cgiles, also tell us about the genes regulated by these miRs?

Me: Not really in any principled way, especially when the underlying data is incredibly fishy, and even if I did, we would be saying all the target genes go down. Don't you think people will find that odd? Do you think perhaps there could be a problem with your "housekeeping" gene?

Them: Who cares? Just run the algorithm.

Thank you for this tale. I'm glad I'm not the only one in this situation.
Why? It's not really comparable.

We can't they (and all of the huge corporations) just be treated like AT&T was before all of the anti-monopoly laws were gutted?
I only read the title but imagine if Facebook were required to have a warning on their signup form. Telling people basically that "if you're not paying for the service then you're being sold to pay for the service".

Speaking as someone who uses this tensor notation quite a lot: putting multiple objects into the same diagram is what a tensor product is, and a great thing about the notation is that it reveals that a tensor product of two matrices is not an essential object in itself.

If you wish, you can draw a circle around A and B to "factor out" that part of the diagram as a sub tensor product. Here might be a way to show that matrix multiplication is both "tensor product then contract" and "function composition": https://imgur.com/tcCycYj.png (though I didn't give this gray-circle notation much thought).

Think about this: how is it in a product abcd of plain old numbers am I supposed to see the mathematical object ad without putting them arbitrarily close together? (Well, in standard notation, you do put them close together and write (ad)bc or something.)
I think it's a good (if inflammatory) analogy: in both cases, people are aware, in the abstract, of dangers, but systematically underestimate them by a big margin.

People knew "smoking is bad for you", but didn't appreciate how bad.

People know "Facebook violates privacy" but not the depth of the profile they've made on you across numerous websites.

People know "You shouldn't compare yourself to others and feel bad about it", but don't realize the extent to which use of FB fights against that.
An email client fetching images is useful, and shouldn't need to be turned off. If someone sends me an email with a graph embedded, it's a great feature that it will show up where it's supposed to. Using that feature for tracking is an abuse of it, plain and simple. There's no way that was an intended part of the design.

Can't help but wonder - how obvious did the bug have to be that it was deployed on May 5th and an attacker gained access the very same day? That's pretty crazy - and there was only one attacker who poked around for 6 days without the bug being subsequently noticed by anyone else? If I were to speculate, it seems like the work of an insider or someone close to the project.

Of course, this is based on nothing but wild guesswork and it could be just coincidence. But in their shoes, I would really want to make sure no one else gained access and did anything more to hide their tracks, since it seemed like such a quickly found exploit.
No, because 1) FastMail doesn't make money through advertising so they have no incentive to read your mail and 2) if you pay for an account with your own domain, you are not locked in, so if they start doing something you don't like, you can migrate away without telling all of your contacts to use some new address.

These benefits are broadly true of most paid-for private email hosting providers.

Yes, I find there are two kinds of books, those that would work as audio books and those that wouldn't. Those that work as audio books also work well as ePub and, in fact, are better in ePub form than as PDF, because I have more control over the presentation.

Books that wouldn't work very well as audio books usually won't work well as ePub either. Charts, maps, complex typography, etc., that would be lost in audio form is mostly lost by ePub. I don't know how much of that loss is due to to ePub format, how much due to ePub viewer apps, how much due to ePub creation tools, and how much due to creators just not trying very hard, but the combination makes most high-quality textbooks much better as PDF, which "beach literature" is better as ePub.
Have you checked if Calibre or pandoc or any other ebook format conversion tool can get you the format you want? Calibre was mentioned on HN recently (probably earlier too) and pandoc keeps getting mentioned. Both have been around for a while.
I would use a plain json and load everything into memory. maybe build a tree for indexing, depends on use case.
Rot may actually be useful by allowing out-dated, inaccurate, or useless information to be removed or fall into obscurity.

Correct, useful, or noteworthy information is often re-posted and copied, leading to preservation.
That's fine only if these records are used as broad research tools that help provide context to a period in history or a public figures's life story.

The 'curated assortment' bit is interesting.

If I go into my local Tesco, which isn't a huge ones, they've got about 15 types of coleslaw. The Lidl has 2. But they're nice ones. The cheapest is not awful, like the cheap Tesco one. The most expensive isn't ridiculously priced, but it is superb.

Baked beans - one type at Lidl, their own brand, but it's nicer than Heinz these days. The dishwasher tablets are half the price of the branded ones but better in my dishwasher.

I honestly love both Aldi and Lidl. They do have their gaps (you need to do ~10% of your shop in Tesco for these) but for the rest...

San Francisco gives homeless people $520/month in cash. Unclear whether other Bay Area cities do the same. This is quite the incentive for homeless from around the state to move here, though. Whether or not it causes people to move here, it certainly funds much of the drug-fueled insanity we see on the streets.

I saw young homeless people in Montréal about 15 years ago. I don't remember if they were happy or if they had dogs. But I think they were anarchists living out some sort of lifestyle choice. I don't recall seeing any of this when I visited last year.
You've solved the storage/archival half of the problem. What do you use on the UX side for playback? Do you just stream everything, or use some sort of an app for choosing which songs to pin to your mobile devices? Personally I use syncthing and keep a complete copy of all my mp3s (only ~5GB in my case) on my phone. I'm curious what others use though.
This explanation doesn't seem to jibe with my understanding of the facts/trends surrounding % of homeless residents that came from outside the bay (generally pretty steady and a small %).
for a foreigner, it shows how, if you can get the sympathy of the law enforcement grunts, you can get away with anything.

Boulder and Denver have cold, but it's mild enough that it can be dealt with somewhat using coats, blankets, sleeping bags, and tents. It doesn't have heat in the summers like New York City or Chicago do, or most of the year like Atlanta, Houston, and Miami do. 20 degrees below room temperature is much easier to handle than 20 degrees above room temperature, because there isn't anything wearable that protects people from heat like coats protect people from cold.
It's probably straight-forward to do. Parse image links from the email, send those links to imgur, and replace the original image links with the imgur ones.

This is clearly an attempt to gather evidence about the defense and the journalists involved. It is also likely that they are attempting to identify the source for the Navy Time's reporting.

Here's an analogy from the civilian world: An employee reports an OSHA violation. Their employer is fined and forced to spend money on fixing the violation. Angered by this, the employers management tries to find who reported them to OSHA.

They were caught doing something wrong, and now they are trying to identify who caught them doing it. The ethical response is to admit wrong doing and make it right, not intimidate your opponents. If you don't understand that I'm not sure there's much debate to be had.
A Complete Taxonomy of Internet Chum
Wow i didn't know that Aldi was in the US. Aldi and lidl keep opening stores like crazy in Europe, there must be like 15 of them in my city in France.

They are great on price, and the high end product are actually nice. But the rest is just average, and the cheese is really low quality (for french standard i mean) . The most annoying thing is that i can never find all the things i need. I just shop there for the basics : milk, egg, water, fruits and occasionally the tools they sell.

The really good thing with aldi (more than lidl) is that they purchase local food, and you can sometimes have really nice surprises.
Statistically accurate dynamic sampling techniques
Seems like the underlying format is unrelated to editing with customizable AST—in fact, that seems like it'd make things like code review pretty miserable. You'd have to upgrade all tooling to be ast-aware.

That said, once upgraded, that would be far, far, far superior to text. Our tooling hit the limits of text a long time ago: consider how terrible diffs are at communicating simple operations like indentation changes, or how basic our refactoring is even in the best case scenarios.
Probably lobbying and the fact that the US likes it better when a US company has power on the internet as opposed to some company from another country. Also, the NSA might have installed some secret probes in FB, so it would be a set-back if all users moved to a different platform.

Well, except I work on a large open source project and we have to blacklist random versions of gmp and gcc out code doesn't work with due to bugs.

And, we can't reasonably test with every version of the compiler and libraries, so we just have to wait for bug reports, then try to find out what's wrong.

Whereas I pick one set of all the tools, make a docker image, and then run 60 cpu days of tests. No Linux distro is going to do that much testing.

I'm not taking any whips at all on static rope. That's just dumb.

But I guess you mean what kind of falls am I taking on dynamic rope that I wouldn't want to take on static rope? Its not about distance, its about fall factor [1]. Fall factor 2 falls are possible on multi pitch routes. Doing that on a static rope would really screw you up even if it didn't kill you. It could also easily shock load your anchor gear enough to break or pull it out, killing you and your belayer.
