It certainly has to do with Reddit. It's unnatural for humans to communicate with priority of "most popular". If you walk in a room with strangers, meet two friends at their house, or talk in private with your mother, all of those discussions are "bump order", meaning that your most likely discussion to respond to is the most recent "thread" (or subject) that someone brought up.

Online communication should function the same way. Reddit/HN/Facebook's algorithms based on voting and popularity are absolute garbage for carrying on normal human discussions. That's because discussion is not their purpose, it's addiction to horde bickering and engaging in popularity contests for content.

The only natural/real-world scenario that you'd find "popularity" to sort discussions is a screaming fight, political campaign, or those dreaded high-school popularity years. And surprise, that's what Reddit feels like most of the time.
had this happen to me using ride-sharing. needed to be picked up at sfo. guy who was going to be my driver learned i wanted to go back in the city and he told me it was late and he was looking for down the peninsula. i just said fine since no point in driving with a dude who'd get mad at picking me up.

another time it was early in the morning and i needed to go to oakland airport and there were very few drivers available. the one who was suppose to pick me up took 20 minutes to get over there, and when he kept missing my intersection for some reason he just dropped the ride. i complained to the company and they didn't do shit. (think this one was lyft though).
I have a personal credit card that's used exclusively for business expenses. I'm not an accountant though so what I do may or may not work for your situation. As always, consult a professional.
It really depends on where you are. My favorite comparison (because I experienced both) is Germany vs South Africa.

In Germany, the cabs belong to the company and drivers are employees (not going in debt for medallions like in the US). The cars are usually in good shape Mercedes and the system is 2-tiered: Taxis and Funkmietwagen (callable cabs). Taxis are allowed to use taxi only roads, can wait for walk-by passengers, are more expensive and pay higher licensing fees. Both can't just tell you "No" without very good reason.

Funkmietwagen have to follow normal car rules, can only be called in advance, usually have slightly cheaper cars, but are cheaper.

Uber tried disregarding the laws in Germany, was told "No" and now is only active in some very few cities and only with their higher end service, operating as normal Funkmietwagen.

The only thing they accomplished was improving the app situation.

In South Africa, it's very different. Taxis cost 3-5 times what you pay for an Uber, are often old, shoddy cars and certainly like to decide not to pick someone up (which I think is technically illegal).

Uber is thriving and mostly seems like a safer and better solution there.
Futurama kind of made this point:

Is it better to go to lambda school or get a master's degree to get into AI?
In other words is it better to take lambda school's data science course (or some other bootcamp style course ie Galvanize, Coursera, Kaggle) or get a master's degree in computer science with a focus on machine learning?

Is there some other school or course you would recommend to take instead of lambda school or universities?
A zoo would be a centralized source. Depending on the country, there are central hotlines to help doctors know what they need and where they can get it.

An anaphylactic reaction on top of a snake bite can be worse than just a snake bite, but of course it depends on the circumstances and species. Also the immune reactions from the antivenom may clot the kidneys, which are probably already a concern if the patient is in shock. And yes, all of this is manageable. Immunology can be really weird and complicated...
Rust GPU iterators based on a Futhark like approach are one of my dreams (a sort of GPU equivalent for Rayon).
The Rust community is used to high level functions via the iterator abstraction and wants high performance : it seems like a perfect match.
What is owner financing?- How does it work?
Only because the global commodities market picked up at just the right time. Just like we rode out the GFC pretty well, coincidentally saved by the last mining boom (although to be fair, the stimulus spending at that point did also work pretty well).

It's surreal watching our major parties both trying to claim credit for the global economic climate.
Just a question: why do you use the third person when describing yourself? I've seen it in resumes and some formal settings, but never on a personal homepage. Also I find it a bit odd.
How the hell it is resilient? I also have a website that I coded 6 years ago and it still keeps running on a server somewhere for its 50 users. Do you find that "remarkably resilient", too?

How to Prepare for a Job Interview
As somebody who worked in OEM electronics since my first real job 12 ago, I can say for sure that manufacturing in China was on a downward slope since it peaked at around 2010.

A way more alarming indicator is the receding semiconductor spendings, both net and capital, for the last 3-4 years.

This means that not only stuff generally classified as "light industry goods" going down. It means that big players in the industry expect much more "inelastic goods" like server chips, telecom gear, and other businessy/enterprise stuff to also go down.

To a lot of people, it was clear that we are heading for "a long winter" in the industry for quite some time. People saw it as early as 2016.

I complain about the adoration, like WASM was some kind of gift from God and everyone else that came before never existed.

10 years ago there were ways run Python in the browser. ActiveState used to have such plugin for example.

Why do you think there is a language attribute on the <script> tag?

And for some strange reason, the same ones that adore WASM, seem to only be aware of Java as bytecode format and nothing else.
I heard about this study on NPR. While exciting, I got the feeling the plant biology field was waiting on further test to collaborate the claims on this paper. Does anyone know of any?
For me, meditation, intermitent fasting, wim hof, shrooms, and sport. But I had to find out that:

- my digestive system was in crisis.

And fix that.

You can sort by new if you really believe that-and change default sort order in the settings. i've kept mine to controversial
One of my pregnant friends talked to their doctor about having a glass of wine once a week. Her doctor said that was fine but when she ordered one at the restaurant it was terrible. The waiter was visibly uncomfortable serving it, other people in the restaurant stared. The intent might not have been to shame but the effect has been that lots of women feel way shittier about themselves than they need to.

And the science might say something like 3 glasses of wine are terrible but we can't really statistically tell the difference between 0 and 1 glasses of wine. But what has filtered down to the masses is "if you have a glass of wine while pregnant you're a terrible mother."
I don't think there's a shred of evidence that it matters who breastfeeds the kids. Tons of cultures have situations where someone other than the mother does some (sometimes all) the feeding. The physical bonding is surely positive and the milk is the primary thing mammals have evolve to grow up on initially.

Here's a source about the whole Nestle history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestlé_boycott

The simplistic impression I have is that in many places (U.S. included, but most tragic in poorer countries), there was a strong marketing campaign against breast-feeding in the mid 20th century, driven entirely by formula producers. I personally find this appalling even if formula were equally healthy. I find it comparable to the bottled-water advertising that is about ripping people off by getting them to avoid resources they already have on hand (in the case of bottled water, the resource of clean tap water in all the places that have it).

The corporations here are more than happy if communities lose their capacity fo function independently. Dependence on the corporate products is the goal. And that's also the source of some of the safety products and other stuff being pushed through fear now.
I always marvel that Reddit has seemed not have learned even one lesson from Digg.

They are literally making the same exact mistakes, and its leading to the same exact results...karma whoring, piling on, ingroup/outgroup ete etc.

It seems beyond comprehension to me that they wouldn't have thoroughly looked at the rise and fall of Digg and not made every effort not to follow the same path.
Because Internet Exchanges and carriers never had network issues.
That I agree with you.

And I believe that climate change is real. Definitely summers are getting hotter, and winters are getting colder and extreme weather events more frequent. Just that it is not yet a doomsday scenario
Mileage may vary I suppose, but I am in KL right now to see my doctor and have been staying at a friend's hostel for the past week in a very touristic area.

Depends on the bank. I guess in US banks themselves are 20 years in the past.
My bank had this log-in setup, where you have your fixed password but also need to enter a password from your password card. This is being phased out and will not be available from Sep 1st. I myself have been using mobile signature/smart-id (https://www.smart-id.com) for years now. Other remaining options are using your ID card or passcode generators—like Google Authenticator but a physical device.
That highly depends on every subreddit's topic and how is it being moderated. Topics which invite populist responses in populist subreddits indeed behave like that, but other subreddits keep more of a Stack Exchange behavior, with out of topic discussion getting discouraged or directly removed, even if they were the most voted.

Your edit removes a vital piece of info, that the person whose DNA was found at the scene was not one of the five. The ops statement makes it clear the DNA comes from a sixth person, while your edit doesn't. In fact I don't even see how you asked your question.
> Riding in a taxi is a garbage experience compared to uber. Drivers making excuses not to take you after learning your destination, rude drivers, drivers who have no clue how to navigate, drivers who pretend the card machine is broken, or try to take you on winding routes to increase the fare.

This may be true in some places, but where there is taxi competition this isn't true. You wouldn't ride with that taxi company again, and just pick another one (Where Uber might just be the other one as it's just another taxi company). I think it's a bad idea to try to argue whether Uber has a global market niche without looking at global circumstances. This varies in cities across the globe. The experiences in say London, Stockholm and Los Angeles are very different.
> In the end it will even out.

That's something you might think will happen, but you have no idea as you cannot predict the future.
Why is that source not confidence-inspiring? And don't you think it's quite telling, in-itself, that no transparent and reliable numbers exist on this?

> My point being, the last time the US murdered that many of its own citizens was April 6, 1865.

I don't see how that's a point for anything, crimes against humanity are not defined by the citizenship of the victims.

It's also an extremely dishonest take: If my own government is oppressing me, I at least can have the hope of starting a "revolution" and overthrow said government to improve the situation.

When it's a foreign government doing it, and not even my countries own military was able to stop them, what are my options to change anything? Not many, maybe start an insurgency, but anything that would "take the fight" to the actual enemy, an external enemy, would be considered "international terrorism".

> so that we can detect the symptoms of hypoxia particular to our own bodies

Destin of SmarterEveryDay (with astronaut Don Pettit) recorded his experience with that training, which included a demonstration of the effects of hypoxia on his decision making ability. He doesn't notice the rapidly increasing symptoms:

>> [Destin fails child's shape toy test, saying the cross was a square] "Alright you're starting to have a little shake there, you know from your lack of oxygen. You need to start thinking about getting back on oxygen now Destin."

>> "How would you correct for that? Can you correct for hypoxia for me?" [Destin just sits looking confused] "Alright sir if you don't get on oxygen, you're going to die. Go to your regulator, get all three switches on your regulator..." [Destin looking even more confused: "I don't want to die"]

>> [they get him back on O2, fixing everything in seconds]

I wish every compnay that does this will stop too. It's so frustrating and annoying having to change my passwords so regularly.

The internal time management software we use at work, which I only access every few weeks always forces me to set a new password. So every time I come to log on, my password has expired. What makes it worse is that this password is connected to other work services but they're not synchronised so when I change one, the other doesn't always change for a couple of days. Sometimes, the only way to log in to my machine is to disconnect the ethernet and make sure the wifi is off. And I have to keep a document on my phone with every variation of my passwords in the last few months and even then, if I am on holiday for a while and come back to work, none of them work.

I think there is a class of companies and services (Excluding Microsoft) who just need to leave the business of user security to the user and stop trying to build walls around an enclosure that no one cares about in the first place.
This is unfortunately not true for most people coming from the Arab world.
Mostly never.
Some sources suggest heating the mineral oil to ~50° Centigrade, but I’m not exactly sure what the reasoning for that might be, so I stuck with room temperature.

The likely explanation is that heating lowers the surface tension [0] and viscosity of the oil so that it can creep easier between the parts. I also considered heating for a problem where a liquid had to enter very narrow cracks.

I believe it is more less it. People in my circles who pay big money for serious market research papers showed me some in December. There was a very visible trend of people deciding to downgrade for their third or fourth smartphone.

Here is a repost of my post from December:

> Very true, I'd say a downgrade is the trend. I saw like 10+ people deciding to switch from "superphones" down to mid-range models, and even dumbphones for their new phones. People who had ultrabooks, often try Atom based notebooks and sufraces. The key deciding factor for such people, I think, is having a good screen and bearable ergonomics (no microscopic keyboards, or batteries.) The data I have access to tell that the "big screen, small CPU," is the category with the biggest year on year growth. Atom based 14 and 15 inchers are selling like hot cookies.

> As a person working in the industry, I can say that's a very visible trend. People switch their devices more due to battery and physical wear than actual need for more features.

> In that respect, things got very "Japanised" in respect that Japanese cellphone makers are often making new models every season with no real changes other than cosmetic.

> Japan is also the only developed market where "dumbphones" ever saw few upwards trends in last
It's one of those things that doesn't matter until everyone does it. The behavior of many Reddit users is based on the "popular" or "hot" order, and it truly does make a difference in the style of their conversation.

GitHub Issues is another odd example. They sort by "newest thread", which I've never seen any other service use by default. It makes long difficult issues/proposals end sooner than they should, because a comment someone makes 2 seconds ago is still buried on page 12. It doesn't matter than I set the sorting mode to "most recent comment" because other people don't do it as well.

Discourse is a fantastic example of a good community platform. You can "star" a post to give your appreciation, but that doesn't give your post any visibility boost by default. It treats all comments equal, as they should, and gives threads attention that is linearly proportional to the number of comments, which is how discussions/subjects work in real life.

Installing an app and entering your bank details for payouts is quite a burden on the driver. Not permanent and not physically but emotionally.
I think you overestimate how rational drivers are.
> But their shows were a boon for Netflix's nascent streaming service, which had a small library of old movies when it debuted in 2007.

That’s exactly what Netflix is right now. There’s a dearth of new content besides Netflix’s own originals. Netflix routinely suggests titles from 10-15-20 years ago and rarely any newer titles (outside some of the bigger blockbusters like Star Wars).
Look at that dude coding in his stinky bare feet. That ain't right.
There is the cost of signing up to each service and entering bank details for payout. Additionally drivers aren't rational market players with perfect information. The quota alone could be enough emotional incentive for a driver to stick to only 2-3 apps.
Maybe it's an immune system reaction to so many articles insinuating that millennials are lazy, doomed or spend all of their time on Instagram.
That's still a weak password. Letter substitution doesn't increase the difficultly, as password crackers try all the variants as a matter of course.

One very nice feature of CMake is that it can create project files for different IDEs. Add that to XMake if you want to be competitive with CMake as at least on Windows, it's a time saver to be able to use Visual Studio to build a C++ project as you can directly debug easily.

Just in time compilation is still slower overall because you incur the assembler penalty. Another problem with just in time compilation is that one cannot control when and how many times it happens. I'm sick and tired of waiting for JIT every time I run a program. JIT is an extremely stupid idea.

I can in fact compile with profile collection, both Sun Studio and hp compilers support that for decades. Then I run the representative workload and then recompile while feeding the compiler with the collected data.
It's frustrating that with the fragmentation of Streaming services it's tempting to get back to piracy. It's like we are back to the beginning of piracy. Today you can get a pirate IPTV provider for ten bucks and set it up on your AppleTV and bingo you get 5000+ tv channels, thousands of movies. I have Netflix, Hulu, Molotov using smart DNS but I also have one IPTV provider to be complete...
