> It is not a matter of opinion that orca whales, bottlenose dolphins and beluga whales die prematurely when kept in captive settings, but rather a potent and recurring reality. Marino & Frohoff (2011) show that this is especially and most dramatically seen in the orca whale, with males living on average 29.2 years in the wild with an observed maximum of 60 years, and females living 50.2 years on average with an observed maximum of 90 years. Their naturally extensive lifespan is shortened severely when they are placed in captive environments, with few orcas living past the age of 20 in captivity (p. 3)

> Many cetaceans in captivity develop stereotypies, or unnatural, often purposeless behaviors that can be a manifestation of poor mental health. Such behaviors include repetitive pacing, swaying, head-bobbing or circling, and bar-biting (Cetacean Inspiration, 2011). One of the most prominent stereotypies noticed in these whales is an activity known as slide outs. The whale will slide out of the water and sit motionless, sometimes for 10 minutes at a time (Cetacean Inspiration, 2011). This creates safety issues for the guests of marine mammal parks like SeaWorld. If a whale did this in the wild for too long of a time the weight of the whale could crush its own internal organs (Cetacean Inspiration, 2011).

Probably.

I work with a site just like yours, and can obviously say only so much. But consider these things:

The reason you're getting good hits on restaurant pages is that most restaurant websites suck. Many might have only a facebook page, etc. Presently you're being "told" by Google that it's only going to send you individual restaurant traffic, but you feel the value is in the aggregator.

Which brings us to the uncomfortable truth.

Google is at war on aggregators and is doing everything it can to hide them. In the last 8 years it has pushed them further and further down the rankings, while having it's own aggregator services appear at the top of the rankings. Google don't want you to exist because being the middleman is where they make their money. A while ago there were some cases trundling through the courts, but no idea what happened with them.

Also, most of your competitors like tripadvisor/bookatable/opentable/timeout/resdiary/etc. sell bookings directly to the restaurants. They'll charge per cover (per head). If not, they'll be upselling something else (tripadvisor has recently been pushing a lot of "experiences" where it'll be making a big commission). Some of them actually make most of their money by also selling restaurant management software, etc. You haven't given your site, or said how you make money, but can you make that kind of money, and can you do direct sales to restaurants? They are hard to sell anything to as most of them are constantly on the breadline. If you're hoping to slap a bookatable widget on each of your listings and make money, prepare to be disappointed, it might cover your hosting and a few beers.

Finally, I hope you don't find this too rude, but are you really following good, modern SEO practice? As if I search "Newtown restaurants Ireland" then tripadvisor, your main competitor, is sitting pretty at the top. But your site is nowhere to be seen (I see no independent aggregators). Perhaps you've given a bad example as Google is insistent on trying to show me restaurants from Newtown, Wales. I also tried a few restaurant names in Newton and still couldn't figure out what your site is.

EDIT: Just saw you actually posted your site, so if I search "Rathmines Restaurants" you're 16 in google results. It's not bad, but you can see what the others are doing instead ("the top 10 restaurants in Rathmines"). You also see that if you go to any of the top results, a bunch of listings have "reserve" buttons, and use something like the opentable widget.

Plus points for having full text menus, your site is clean and fast, it's a good achievement. I just do wonder how you're going to make money on it. I would definitely try putting opentable widgets in asap so you can get a much better idea of what sort of revenue you could generate and just how much you'd have to grow it to make it worth the investment. In my experience though those widgets are pretty lacklustre unless you can figure out a way to make money directly from the restaurants.
Just because they're tangentially related to infosec in some way doesn't mean they'd be a good fit.

IIRC aren't there actually privacy concerns regarding Proton? That may just be FUD.

Plus, I doubt they would maintain the level of transparency we've come to expect from HIBP. They don't seem very... transparent.
First Nations hunting rights typically do not extend to commercial rights (i.e., first nations can hunt but not sell the meat) so I would be surprised to learn there's much in the way of whaling still happening nowadays. First I heard of it still being legal, though I'm not surprised to learn it - treaty rights are very slow to be renegotiated.
The legal liability for these companies must be huge. I’ve seen toddlers on these things with their parents, more than once. Kids very often.
Seems like the main flaw in the ones the author labeled "awful" was a geofence policy that limited the top speed on a "bike path", or locked them out of it altogether. Makes it a bit difficult to generalize their conclusions, especially without knowing more about the path to be able to judge whether that policy is reasonable (and/or mandated by the city).
No, the point of having their own Lisp, not using the US standard. Was it a hedge against Lisp becoming hugely successful and helping their computer industries?
The early comments were about renting, and you making the reasonable point that renting furniture that can be replaced at any time promotes waste.

This is about purchasing, if you're purchasing 2nd hand you do have to be careful because you don't have the same rights etc. The "average" may be perfectly fine, just like the average second hand car is fine. I think you're reading too much into "being careful", that's all.

As much as it would incredibly suck (for convenience and variety in life) I think we, as a species, need to completely abandon fossil fuels in the next 10 years. Sadly it'll never happen, we will be burning fossil fuels well past seeing massive deaths from starvation/drought/unpredictable weather/food wars.

Just guessing, but based on statistics of web pages in asian languages, most text comsists of mostly the lower code points, no matter the language. So then hash lookups end up being pretty much heavily biased towards small subsets of the data. And I wouldn't be surprised if cache sizes of modern processors comspire to accelerate this pretty lopsided distribution of accesses considerably.

I don’t think programming for Windows, Android, or iOS, or program in / interop with Java, JavaScript, .NET, qualify as “very special needs”.
As a South African expat, I've long thought that South Africa's poor service provision provides a natural laboratory for libertarian ideas. This piece highlights their strengths and weaknesses: high levels of cryptocurrency speculation (and a currency that's pegged to the rand and hosted on AWS!), but also small-scale local provision of electricity, water, sewage treatment, and security; and financial services based on face-to-face transactions and community trust.
This is amazing!

This seems to be a way for Google to make revenue from news sites and is a clear abuse of monopoly power. When I click on an AMP news link, I see a “carousel” at the top that shows multiple news articles. I can go to various articles on a topic by swiping left or right, all without going back to the news site.

But now that Google has removed the link to visit the site, it is clear they don’t want you to visit the actual news site but do everything through Google.

This means that only the Google ad network will be allowed, so they stand to benefit from this arrangement, and news sites can have no hope of receiving any traffic.

Which actually is a big step already. Coal is dirty energy source in more than one way. And burning wood, even imported, is still preferable if you ask from a CO2 perspective. If we get to the point where gas in only needed to cover periods where renewables cannot we almost won. Almost...

Not sure when zero coal is going to happen in Germany...
Whether you see rental rates cheaper than a personal mortgage is extremely dependent on where you live. Many 'hot' housing markets have a big anticipation of future capital gains already priced in (rationally or otherwise) and house prices are not remotely in line with rental returns (Sydney, Australia is an example of this).

I would imagine things would be quite different and more like you say in more normal markets.
If the video makes the message more accessible, then it can be worth it.

>I don't get it. Babylon is just another provider. There's not much difference between Babylon and other GP providers - they get your data if you're their patient and not otherwise. They're subjected to the same rules as other GPs.

Babylon is unlike any other providers; it is an AI & Data first, app-based subscription model with a mix of state funded services. It's aim is to acquire more data in order to train models. The overwhelming majority of traditional GP's are primarily focused on patient first policy ─ they are usually non-profit with scant resources and a poor to non-existent IT strategy. To normalise these new models by trivialising differences between traditional services (as flawed, as they might be) would only serve to marginalise existing practices and it is the first step towards introducing scope-creep by politicians, who have an unhealthy obsession with statistics, quick fixes and making Faustian pacts with the private sector.

Babylon claims to go beyond any GP by being on par with human doctors and boasts of it's partnerships with Samsung and Tencent and counts DeepMind as one of it's investors. Just like any startup looking to disrupt, the platform is cloud-based and hosted on AWS[1]. It records every interaction, including video ─ which is retained for later review. It is growing at an exponential rate, despite a limited presence in London. The patient database reveals that it caters to a very specific demographic across varied and different parts of the city i.e. 83% of patients are aged between 20 to 39 years.

While it is still in it's infancy, it has already been involved in legal tussles and has been accused of dubious practices[2][3]. There is no visibility on algorithms, models and related datasets nor is there any indication of AI ethics being in place. There is also the issue of the CEO being linked to a white elephant project before his current fast-tracked foray into digital healthcare, which was probably rubber-stamped by officials in Whitehall. Although, it is undeniable that the NHS is overburdened and could do with some help to ease the pressure, but Babylon seems to be doing the exact opposite by applying the 'moving fast-breaking things' ethos inside an institution, which is already broken and moving slow.

I have already linked the Wired article, which discusses some of the topics above in-depth, other facts are supported by the FT article (paywall) and Forbes, which are reasonably reputable sources in my opinion.

Not sure I understand your math here. A car depreciates faster if it is driven (more repairs, needs to be replaced sooner). Just because I already own a car doesn't mean it's only the cost of fuel to drive it.
> Disney doesn't own all the content

But they own about half (Disney Studios, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar, 20th Century Fox, Searchlight, NatGeo, and I am sure I forgot a dozen others), and they might never licence it to a "competitor" again unless they are forced to do under some sort of FRAND unbundling of content and distribution.
If you actually look at the map data the difference between New York and 99% of India is only 3 vs 5 parts per billion.

I could only believe in trash burning being the reason to that if and only if the difference would have been orders of magnitude.

That difference could be easily accounted for only by the near presence of the mountains and thus lesser natural ventilation of the particles.
Came here to say the same thing. It's literally impossible to distinguish a store from any other kind of business in many of those pictures. If Google wants to do behavioral fingerprinting they should just say so instead of pretending to do image recognition. But I guess some people just lie so much that they forget how to tell the truth.

The consensus on Wall Street has WeWork nowhere near its $47B valuation. Like Uber/Lyft, its size is more a consequence of VC investment, rather than organic growth.

Plus the management isn't particularly scrupulous with how they allocate those funds. The CEO, for instance, buys property himself and then rents it to WeWork (for a profit obviously). VCs let him get away with it because their business is no longer to fund and help create sustainable companies, but rather to gather as much money into a "unicorn" as they can and then pawn it off to the public markets who ultimately pay the bill.

Ask HN: How would you negotiate a part-time software engineering offer?
I'd be interested to hear from both employees and employers on this:

I'm a full-time software engineer looking to transition into a role where I can work a little bit less per week (24-32 hours) so I can dedicate more time to passion projects.

Regarding salary and benefits, what is reasonable to expect if you're transitioning into a new role as a part-timer? What is reasonable to ask for once an offer is extended?

For those of you with experience working part time or hiring part time employees: Was the compensation full-time salaried or hourly contractors? What was the income delta? Was health insurance part of the compensation package? How about PTO?

Thanks!
Maybe an obvious or stupid question, but that's worth asking: As a user, do we have a way to disable AMP?

For interest, I and some colleagues have written a "Chat" app. Think SMS, but with extra features that make it "interesting".

It's end-to-end encrypted, distributed, resists traffic analysis, decentralised, and generally we're finding it a useful alternative to existing alternatives.

We have our own ideas about what to add next, but it's probably the right time to get out of our fishbowl and get ideas from a wider potential audience. We're not looking for reactions from the world in general, this won't ever be used for sharing pictures of cats or videos of pratfalls, so I suggested to my colleagues that HN might be the place to ask for opinions on what might be regarded as essential.

Thoughts?
