Do not worry about poor grades again just contact RUSSIANCYBERHACKERS@GMAIL.COM for any form of helps, I am a living testimony to his work. last week when the results came out I was having d7 all through and it got me shocked and worried because I wrote well and I can’t be getting d7 in all so I contacted this hacker and he checked into it and found out that one of the teachers exchanged my grades with that of my class mates own. after this hacker worked for me I got a very perfect grade better than the other one that was been given to my class mate.

Indeed.

Waiting tables is a job. Tipping allows employers to assign a lower wage, thus having to pay less payroll taxes... And they'll even try to get a clear conscience by saying "they just need to learn to budget properly".

This whole situation reminds me of the congresswoman from California, Katie Porter, questioning the CEO of J.P. Morgan [0].

In my opinion, minimum wage shouldn't be an arbitrary number; it should be linked to each city's cost of living, and perhaps some sort of multiplicative factor based on the metropolitan's area population.

This would hold urbanization at bay, and you'd see -- in the long term -- a more balanced spread of cities.

People don't remember how awful IE was. Netscape wasn't significantly better. Both were considered "bloated".

Then, along came Firebird, and it was light and fresh. Unfortunately, a lot of sites didn't work with it. But users demanded that it should work, and eventually it did.

Eventually Firefox itself became bloated and Chrome was the faster alternative. It's the guys at Mozilla that dropped the ball this time.

Fast forward to now: Chrome is bloated, everything is bloated, everything is terrible, but we now rely on a tech stack that has grown exponentially just to get really basic stuff working. The difference is, this time we can't reasonably start fresh anymore without breaking backward compatibility.

Perhaps that's what needs to happen though: Break everything. Delete HTML, CSS, Javascript and all that crap. Admit that most non-trivial web sites are not documents, they're applications. Applications can display documents and do all kinds of other things. Figure out the minimal API that can efficiently output graphics, sound and video. Add in some accessibility hooks. Provide some optional interfaces to geolocation, storage, camera/mic etc. Done.

Fuck the semantic web. Just let us write applications.
I agree with this view. Technical precision only goes so far, and it's very easy to tell the difference between a performance that is technically precise but essentially lifeless, versus one that is also technically "precise enough" but "works."

Ignoring for a moment any technical or business considerations, it would have been fascinating to see the long term effect if MS has based its new browser on the Firefox base instead of Chromium.

Depends both on how you define "they" and "make". PUBG Corp has made roughly a couple of billion USD in revenue, but definitely not a couple of billion in profit. (The 2018 numbers were $920M revenue, $311 in profit.)

But also, that's PUBG-the-company, not PUBG-the-game. The distinction is that the PUBG mobile version (with tens of millions of daily actives) is by Tencent, and PUBG-the-company gets some kind of licensing revenue from it.

> Philosophy likes to make things all seem like perception and mental frame of reference, and sometimes it is with people, but the earth’s trajectory relative to the sun doesn’t change if we think about it different or define terms differently.

That's exactly the point here - answering the question of which revolves around what boils down to deciding which body is stationary, and that depends entirely on your frame of reference. Viewed from the Earth the sun is moving, and viewed from the sun the Earth is moving, and viewed from somewhere else they both move relative to one another. But none of those viewpoints is any more physically real than the others - they're just choices for where to put the origin of the coordinate system, as it were.

That is, if you wanted to predict how the planets will move in the future, you could start from any of those assumptions and still make correct predictions. That's what I mean by saying there's no physical reality to the matter of which frame of reference you choose.
Assuming the LotR audio book is 45 hours you must be reading twice as fast to finish it in two long days at the weekend. Sure, I could read it that fast - meaning that mechanically I could probably decode the text as if the tape was double speed - but it would be a miserable experience because I would have no time to contemplate what was going on, to visualize events, to think back to previous passages, and so forth. It would be like watching a movie at double speed - we can all do it, and legitimately say we "watched" the movie, but it wouldn't give most of us pleasure.

The fact that sensory information is limited, does not make it wrong. It's a certain perspective on reality, and we can easily accommodate for that.

For instance, we know that a stick isn't actually bent when it goes into water, even if it looks like it is.

More generally, we have no practical problem dealing with reality using the information given by our senses. It's not a problem in our daily lives and it's not a problem for going to the moon, Mars, creating microprocessors, etc.

You comment seems a bit defensive about your teacher inspiring you to improve your reading performance skills.

Your teacher probably tolerated monotone because your classmates were working hard just to get the words out, and they weren't ready to add inflection.

My issue is concentration. Once an article looses my interest I find it very difficult to keep reading without skipping chunks. Do others find it easy to read things that they aren't interested in but have to read for work etc.? As someone who used to have to read a lot of academic papers for my PhD I found my mind wandering a lot and often impossible to make it through some content.

Ask HN: How do you document architecture and design proposals?
I always read about how an engineering team should work by documenting their design/architecture for system changes or new features, so that senior engineers/architects can review it and give feedback.

How do you do it on your team? What tools do you use?

How do you manage the conversation/feedback? Do you graph/diagram anything? Do you just write out what the steps are? What about documenting request/response models?

I'd love to get insight into all the ways that people handle this.

Couldn't a good state-run sabotage take advantage of assumptions about how much scrutiny/inspection is needed for a given component?

For example, suppose there was some little-known chemistry that would make a PCB likely to fail $X years after manufacture. Or bonus points if it had out-gassing that made other, innocent parts have high failure rates?
Some frames of reference are very close to being inertial frames, and others aren't. There's a big difference between inertial and non-inertial frames. In non-inertial frames, you have to introduce fictitious forces in order for the physics to work out.

In short, the universe cares about acceleration, but not constant motion. Accelerating frames are different from non-accelerating frames.

It's also possible that people who don't subvocalize aren't absorbing as much.
The difference here is that the illegal part requires active ongoing support from Amazon. If these devices all communicated with a central hub located in the home that was owned and controlled by the user, I think this would be viewed very differently.

Similarly, I don't think a car mod company could plausibly argue their mods weren't for street use if they had cloud support and GPS access but didn't make any effort to go into a street-legal mode when driving on public roads.
Flies can eat literal garbage so I am also curious how their guts do not have arbitrary digestive problems (let's just say there's not much quality control on the input). Also whether they develop infections.
This is a _fantastic_ example of sampling bias. You simply have no idea when small children are reading silently. You assume they aren't reading until they vocalize, and then when they stop vocalizing you change your assumption to assume they are still reading even though you can't hear it.
That's ok, reality doesn't require your input.

I remember reading this in some articles when Fortnite BR first came out... Unreal engine powered PUBG, which was making 40 million a month then. Epic was getting 5% so that was $2mm per month they went out and cannabalized. PUBG devs were complaining that they couldn't scale Unreal engine to 100 players before that happened, Epic had to prove em wrong. Definitely an interesting change in dynamics from vendor to competitor.

When Fortnite BR came out it had much better stability/performance, kid-friendly graphics, but ALSO a really unique, and twitch friendly fighting mechanic with building. Watching good players in a build battle is way more interesting than long range sniping or bad vehicle physics.
and some are wronger than others.
The system is largely the same--I'm prompted to leave a review after a transaction is completed.

In the Amazon case, it's not a big deal if both me and the shady seller communicate out of band. We can use email or whatever to orchestrate the payback for a positive review, and the penalities for our scheme being compromised are low: maybe we get banned from Amazon and frowned at by our friends, who cares.

In a darknet market scenario, we rely on the market to handle our identities, and try to stay completely anonymous otherwise. So we have to use some other identity mechanism to orchestrate the kickback, which fails in two ways:

- Either it's too disconnected from the original transaction, and there's no way for me to hold the seller accountable for the Bitcoin I was promised in exchange for a positive review (aside from buying from the shady seller a second time just for the opportunity to leave a negative review).

- Or it's too connected to the original transaction. In this case, if our side scheme is uncovered it could be used as evidence against us in court. Which is a significantly scarier outcome than being banned. Although being banned also carries more weight because some sellers won't sell to accounts without positive history, so if you need to reboot your identity you might have to risk getting ripped off a few times before the larger community of sellers trusts you again.

Also, I'd stay the hell away from any seller that approached me with such an offer, they want me to participant in a scam, which tells me something about them. Why should I trust their drugs?

I like this observation. You could argue that Salesforce did the same thing pivoting from CRM into the platform as a service market. They had the user management, security, configuration tools, reporting, etc, that they were able to take into marketing, call center, etc.

It's not the first time I see JS lambdas, or lambdas. I'm just not sure why

let f = (a, b) => a + b

can be considered prettier (or clearer) than

let f = function (a, b) { return a + b }

or (given the differences in runtime behavior)

function f (a, b) { return a + b }

It saves typing for trivial functions, sure, but it's yet another syntax for the same thing.
I remember hanging out with Tim back in the late 80's on Compuserve's GAMERS forum. He was doing shareware back then, under the Epic Megagames brand as I recall. There were a lot of people on that forum making shareware games, myself included (MVP Backgammon, released in 1991). One of my distinct memories is that Sweeney was more serious about it, and about the future of games, than most of the rest of us. Guess it paid off!

"... All of that isn’t really as significant as what’s more difficult to think about, but much more important: What’s the
fundamental design of language. If you want to understand what the function of the visual system is, you can’t just say “I use it to
watch television.” That’s not biology. You want to understand the visual system, you have to look into its nature. See what it does.
Investigate it. It’s a scientific problem. And then you find things about the visual system that are surprising. It’s the same with
language. Its’ not enough to say “Yeah, I use it to talk to my friends.” If you want to understand something about it, you have to look
into its nature. And you can’t do that in a casual conversation. THat requires investigation, like any other hard topic. And when you
investigate it, you find things like I just mentioned, that linear order just isn’t part of the way language is used. You can see it in
simple cases. Take the example I used last night, take this sentence:

So for my parents they started by importing second hand clothing from all over Europe, it's usually sold by charities which collect it directly. Some bigger charities have a bidding process(like the Red Cross or the British Heart Foundation) some smaller ones just sell directly and it's a matter of going to them and talking to someone responsible for this side of things.

Initially they would only sort the clothing and sell on the good quality stuff to stores, lower quality to companies which processed it further, then later on they opened their own second-hand stores, started processing(cutting into rags) in-house, and well, kind of grew from there.

As for the name, 1) I don't really like sharing personally identifiable information on the internet, sorry 2) as someone else pointed out - pretty much everyone in this business is offline anyway. All you'd get by searching an address on google is the address on google maps. There is a website but it only has a single page - with address and telephone number. Nothing else has ever been needed.

In Case of Incapacity – Eric S. Raymond
This is the wrong way to think about models.

Newton's laws captured part of what he observed at the time. And that's all a model is supposed to do.

That doesn't make it wrong. It makes it limited. You could say it's a "low resolution" view of reality.

If we limited our knowledge only to perfect models, we would be holding ourselves to a standard of omniscience, and we would never know anything.

We clearly have good enough models to design hypersonic aircraft, to pick a semi-random example. But our models are not complete; we don't know everything. But our models are not wrong.

Other commenters who warn that saying "all models are wrong" encourages anti-intellectualism and exactly right. That leads to a bad place.

Didn't see that at all (I'm a user of the NoScript browser extension that allows JS only from explicitly whitelisted sites).

I went through the content in about 30 seconds. What I remember:

1. "People read at closer to 240 wpm rather than 300 as was previously thought."

2. This was from a meta-study gathered over various studies spanning the twentieth century, in various languages based on the Roman alphabet.

3. There appears to be some variation in reading speed dependent on language.
All scientific theories are approximations, but some are better approximations than others.

For example: one of the reasons that the flat-earthers get as much traction as they do is that "the earth is flat" is actually a reasonable approximation in some circumstances. "Flat" is actually just a special case of "round" where the radius is infinite. If the distance scale that you are concerned with is small (e.g. the size of your own body) and you don't care about small errors, then infinity is a not-entirely-unreasonable approximation of the radius of the earth.

Of course, this all falls apart as soon as you start to care about anything that is more than a few thousand body-lengths away from you. But it's a mistake to say that the flat-earthers are wrong in any absolute sense. They aren't. They're just using a bad approximation for the realities of modern life.

Unless you're sending a spacecraft to another planet, "the earth orbits around the sun" is a perfectly fine approximation.

Yeah, it's like the Picasso napkin thing. Fortnite wasn't an overnight success, it was decades in the making. I had so much hype for the new Unreal Tournament, but after seeing how that was handled I never even gave Paragon a shot. I'm glad Epic Games eventually figured things out.

>You comment seems a bit defensive about your teacher inspiring you to improve your reading performance skills.

It was stated that the only thing she inspired me to do was slow down my expression of reading speed. Reading faster than my peers and entertaining them is not something people get embarrassed about.

Her telling me to slow down was not a magical way to get me to add inflection out of the void. Being scolded for deviating from normal speed only reinforced the standard school mentality that any deviation = bad. It would have only discouraged me from adding inflections without first being instructed to do so.

>(other classmates) weren't ready to add inflection.

I don't recall my classmates even adding inflection by high school or beyond, let alone by the end of the trimester. At least where I'm from, elementary teachers do not try to add inflection in their students. I'd imagine being able to read itself is more than sufficient to send them on to the next class.

Teachers focusing attention on illiterate students probably took precedence over tinkering with subjective inflections in kids who were not only going to pass their K-5 standardized tests but were already reading at a high school level.

So the shredding is the only part which they don't do in-house, there's an external company that does it, so I'm not sure about the answer to this, sorry. Cutting into rags is done in-house but only absorbent materials are good for this so I don't think cutting elasthane is much of an issue.
