Eich? No. Persecutors of homosexuals? Yes. Homosexuals have been thrown in prison, tarred and feathered, and subjected to physical and psychological torture masked as "medicine" in the past.

But the ballot Eich voted for passed, and the homosexuals weren't met with fists in pistols in California afterwards (at least not any more than everyone else). Thus, in the Karl Popper's original view of the paradox of tolerance, he'd argue that we shouldn't suppress the intolerant ideology of the people who voted for that ballot, especially as we could successfully counter their intolerant ideology with rational arguments, right?

Look, for me, your ideology of suppressing all ideologies you deem intolerant, regardless of the actual actions of the followers, is very much intolerant, in the original sense of Popper: "it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols". We're already at the "fists or pistols" stage, with mainstream media praising the milkshaking and excusing the Berkeley rioters. Please, ask yourself, are you completely sure you're not one of the baddies?

I had a similar story on Twitter. I had been using Twitter for a few years. One day I noticed a user with a handle trying to impersonate someone else (handle was close to another handle, with i/l switched). That handle was posting links to a crypto “giveaway” that really was a credential fishing website. I reported those tweets, and posted replies to those tweets to warn people. A few days later Twitter sent me an email that I had been violating the terms and conditions (without any more precise explaination), and had disabled my account. I still don’t know whether it was the scammy handle that somehow managed to get me blocked or whether it was a Twitter algorithm that had incorrectly classified my account. Anyway, the Twitter email contained a link to a procedure to appeal the decision. I appealed the decision, but received another Twitter email a few days later that the decision was final because I had violated the T&C (it was again missing any further explanation). That was the end of the story, and since then I just stopped using Twitter.
I think they wash Hákarl before packaging it while Surströmming is still fermenting in the can until opened. The right way to open Surströmming is to submerge the can in water and wash the fish before serve. Much less smell.
I guess I just don't believe cooperation problems scale.

By the same logic you might say that we shouldn't interview at all because it selects for people that are good at being interviewed. Obviously this is true but I think it would be pretty crazy to not interview people.

Frankly I think most people suck at being interviewed initially, but you can definitely improve with practice. The same as public speaking and interviewing candidates.
i like the idea of sticking with it, and also polling your users with a chat widget -- just turn it on for an hour or two a day or night when you can get to it.

ask them if they've found what they're looking for?

how could the site help them? what are they actually looking for.

i figure Yelp and other sites are popular because they allow people to be exhibitionists, but also to share their reviews with their friends and online-friends, and take selfies, etc.

therefore, i like the idea of adding some key Yelp-like features to your site. but in a Lean way, ideally -- don't build before you test. or build 'fake' features, wizard of oz style -- see if they get traction.

if you can find an ambassador for each locality, they can be the 'governor' of that locality -- the way Foursquare used to do.

basically, something to allow people to take ownership and pride in the site, and their contributions to it.

one girl on a podcast - think she was american, but traveled abroad for school - talked about how she built lists for her friends to check out certain restaurants, etc. that is, Yelp and the other sites weren't cutting it -- information overload, too much spam, etc. so, exclusivity, i guess. she ended up creating a print magazine i think because that is what people she polled said they wanted.

i think sometimes a 'soft pivot' can be in order. that's part of the fun of going into business -- you hustle, and then you get some good luck -- luck that you created by being bold and trying something in the first place.
The programmer doesn't sell code, the programmer sells time writing software. With proprietary software, the owner of that software has a monopoly on the work on that software, and as such can demand monopoly prices. With Free Software, that monopoly doesn't exist, you only have market competition.
A permissive license doesn’t grant “the right to deny others” a so-called “right” it doesn’t define or even refer to.
Is this really that common a term in computer programming? I can’t say I see it used with any regularity. Maybe it’s a common term in some specific programming subcultures? Apparently it’s a deprecated Java class, https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base... and something in RxJS (which I had never heard of before doing a web search just now) https://www.learnrxjs.io/concepts/rxjs-primer.html

The term “observable” used as a noun in a programming context seems to me very clunky and vague. YMMV.

I am much more familiar with the term “observable” in physics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable
Deviant Ollam is great, so informative. I feel like another great conterpoint to Deviant Ollam is the Lock Picking Lawyer on youtube and reddit:

He really doesn't waste any time and just gets in there and picks or tears down locks and tells you exactly how good or bad a lock is.
> Won’t youtube effectively shove the next recommended video to a user as long as auto-play is activated ?

You can very easily turn auto-play off. There is plenty of opportunity to switch videos. It would be different if youtube forced you to watch the next video in order to use the site.

>For the neutrality, if you recognize there are agreed upon rules, as you point out, the next question becomes who agreed on these rules, and who made them ?

Youtube made them. Those are pre-conditions for uploading videos. They don't have to have any reason why they made them, those are conditions that must be met in order to upload a video. So by uploading a video you are agreeing to them.

>Any rule in place is positive to a group and negative to another

I don't agree with this generality. However, this discussion is not about the legitamacy of the rules to use youtube, it is whether or not youtube should censor videos, (that meets basic rules of use). My opinion is no, your's as you stated above was:

>I personaly think anything dealing with human content can’t be left neutral, as we need a bias towards positivity.

I agree with you that Youtube should routinely challenge their own rule sets. That is not the same as censoring their content, or in this case modifying their recommendation algorithm.
While I agree that it has its place, I'm opposed to over-reliance on muscle memory. I believe it restricts you to what you've drilled, even to the exclusion of very close neighbors.

But I'm also not trying to play extremely fast. If my goal was recital rather than composition, I would use it more. My recordings[1] are mostly total improv, free jazz, with a vocals track (later deleted) that states what chord changes are coming up, and then improvise over the first instrumental track while listening to the chord announcements.

> To Master a Skill, Master Something Harder.

I like this. It can definitely be applied to programming. For me, my goal at getting much better in JavaScript and Go has taken me to mastering C.
Just because that one thing happens to not be entirely worthless, doesn't mean that anything has value.

Also, since you're not even a professional developer, I'm not directing that advice at you.
You mention "algorithm"... algorithms can't be copyrighted, and although it can be argued that they shouldn't even be patentable (as mathematical equations aren't), in the 1990s courts in the US effectively allowed algorithms to be patented "when part of an implementation". Also in some other countries algorithms were always patentable.

But that's patents, we're talking about copyright here. You absolutely can't copyright an algorithm. And "not looking" doesn't protect you from a patent anyway, so go ahead and look at the code unless you want to write a functional clone and claim that it's in no way a derivative work.
Of course it is a matter of metrics - it has no way of knowing what is useful. The closest way to algorithmically discover (outcomes over time) would be prone to spurious correlations and be so intrusive it would make Cambridge Analytica look like LavaBit.

Note that this doesn't actually work in all situations. I have a non-24 hour circadian rhythm and severe insomnia and for a long time I could only sleep on the shifting schedule, even with very little sleep for as long as I could manage (a couple of weeks or so). After a while figuring out which of various medications and practices seem to help (although my overall health is still not improving so it might just be an unknown health issue improving my sleep) I've been able to at least stop shifting around the clock, can usually get to sleep in an hour or so going to bed at about the same time as the day before, and now getting less sleep does seem to have some impact on my ability to get to sleep the next night. Not everyone with circadian issues has this and possibly people without might. That being said, it is a good technique when it works. Waking up at the same time every day seems to be more important than going to sleep at the same time and is both an indication of how well your sleep is doing and can be helpful in improving sleep.

Was looking into something like this recently, but apparently a lot of the sensors out there aren't super precise:

They are often easy to set up, but make sure to double-check just how much you can use your particular model for.
Definitely comes off as douchy. I wouldn't discount someone for it but it would definitely make me wary of them (probably a know-it-all who doesn't listen to other people and always knows best).
you should add Houdini, it's the biggest of them all.

Rule of Law is an important component.
This is, in general, the problem with America and other countries, in my opinion. Technical literacy is extremely low for the level of technical sophistication present in everyone's everyday life. I know it's not great in other countries but I think America has it worse in a lot of ways because our society encourages companies to take advantage of people in every way imaginable and lawmakers are possibly even less tech savvy than the majority of the population. People don't actually understand the consequences of their actions (agreeing to ToS, giving Facebook their data, using Amazon Echo/Google Home, etc.) and so they can't actually make an informed decision. The EU, at the very least, has attempted to make this conversation more public through the GDPR, but America is too self-involved to even consider educating the populace.
We do this in Canada. It doesn't work. See: US vs. Canada economy.
Also, FB's community standards seem designed to stymie conservative and right wing speech.

You can attack the rich on FB, but not those so poor they receive welfare. You can attack people based on their 'privilege' but not on their immigration status.

Ask HN: Good resources for base (non-tidyverse) R?
Hey, my new lab uses R a lot, but most of their packages (some of which I'll be contributing to) don't use tidyverse. However, most of the recommended R books use it---those that I saw recommended here on HN, at least.

Are there any good learning materials which don't rely on the tidyverse set of packages? I have experience with Python, Haskell, and other languages, but am completely new to R.
Anyone apply deliberate practice to software development? I would be interested to hear applications.

I can imagine data structures and algorithms and coding competitions, but I've always struggled with the concept of drills for improving skills as a software developer.

Would love to hear ideas from others.
There is heaps of vagueness in both the Open Source Definition and Free Software Definition, especially about copyleft. See, e.g.:

https://writing.kemitchell.com/2018/11/05/OSD-Copyleft-Regul...

https://blog.licensezero.com/2018/09/14/free-to-take-freedom...

There are heaps of disputes about whether licenses qualify. Check OSI's license-review list, or Twitter, or, frankly, HN.
Ah thanks for clarifying, I guess there's a sort of size cutoff where stuff goes from fair use to a derivative work.
And it's especially important to maintain that right when it comes to things like "Joe's ice cream parlor waters their drinks".

Should Google be allowed to forbid criticism of Google on their platforms? I mean, perhaps - but it's hard to argue that there couldn't be consequences from that.
Are there any references for what these look like?
Merlin is very good. Wish something like this was available for haskell.

"This makes me wonder if the current political "backlash" against global warming is because many politicians are ... old."

It's more of a mix of anti-environmentalism (as environmentalism is closely associated in the public mind with the global warming denier's boogeymen -- liberals and the left), ignorance of climate science, anti-intellectualism, conspiracy theorizing that's rife on right-wing media, a desire to recklessly exploit natural resources, and a belief that counteracting global warming will harm businesses and cost taxpayer dollars, which they'd rather spend on the military or on handouts to corporations.
Ask HN: What do you use for product insights?
Using a throw away account. What are you currently using to gain product insights into your SaaS app? We need more insights into usage (which features are used and how), and wondered what others were doing.

In Ukraine many people strongly believe that Kolomoyskiy has sponsored presidential campaign for Zelenskiy - comedian, who played president on TV (on the TV channel "1+1" that belongs to Kolomoyskiy) and won elections. Supposedly he now has a direct influence on Mr. Zelenskiy and the new government.
I haven't tried to track phones with bluetooth, it seems like it wouldn't be possible because phones aren't always announcing themsleves. A by product of battery limitations I would guess. The more common use is tracking powered tags for the purpose of asset tracking in say hospitals or similar.

I didn't know the onboard adapter supported monitor mode, that is ligitmately useful knownledge for me. Thanks, it should be simple to build your own sniffer to just plan around with. Carefull if you are in the EU though, not that it is removely possible to catch a silent sniffer.
Redistribution doesn't mean public. I've worked for years extending A/LGPL code that we redistributed, yet much of it never saw the light of day, since our clients have no interest in publishing it (although they are free to do so, of course).
Is it really that strange? The transitive dependency graph for my iOS and Android apps are similarly complex.
There is a really easy answer to that question: If you are unsure, hire a lawyer in your jurisdiction. The fact that you wrote some Free Software does not obligate you to help people with integrating it into their software for free, and that includes any kind of legal work required.
The operative quote:

> I used to work for Tony Reichelt "Klatu". He was a lovable con-man – who really did love robots. We built a whole bunch of ‘em, but they were totally person operated (with the exception of some that were "chucky Cheese" type bots.) They were not pieces of crap either – they were high end wireless, aircraft aluminum framed, with custom fiberglass bodies by a ‘vette shop. Tony was a blast and a half – I’ve often wondered what happened to him.
The person I replied to claims to have looked at large* data sets and never seen a discrepancy in 6-8 significant digits. I thought I'd show them a small data set with 3 samples that retains no significant digits.

It's not that you should necessarily be afraid of it but rather that you should be more aware of it. Advertising is now weaponized to the point that companies can take advantage of people through psychological tricks to get them to disadvantage themselves just to make a sale. Imagine the housing crisis amped up to an order of magnitude. Transactions, theoretically, should be based on good faith from both parties. If a business has far more insight into you than you have into them, though, then nearly every transaction has the potential to be predatory.

Depends on the sensor, also full auto mode usually means (for example MH-Z19) that it recalibrates every X hours, which means you'd have to go to the woods fairly often ;)
You're missing the point that others who call that veto are then subject to the same concept of consequences. If you veto every possible subject, you are not free from consequences either. THAT is the free market of ideas as I understand it

That's not a free market of ideas. That's a free-for-all. That's Gandhi's, "an eye for an eye, making the whole world blind."
The neural network takes into account videos that other people who watched the same one you did watched. It's quite possible that the movie trailer you watched was popular among demographics that also watched those recommendations. If you don't have a lot of data for yourself, you will see a heavier bias towards other people's videos.

GPL is pretty much a "it's the right thing to do" kind of license. GPL violations are widespread and the terms are rarely enforced. Even when they are, in 99.9% of cases there are no penalties(unlike most commercial licenses), just a requirement to publish your code and adhere to the original terms of the license.

There is a clear difference between 1970s East Berlin and now. Stasi spying propped up a system that provided a relatively low standard of living and a limited availability of consumer goods. Modern tracking of customers fuels a vibrant customer-good market that is a win-win for everyone.

I don't know your scale for small, but my current org is tiny compared to AWS (my previous).

So yes - we have to do all those things. I am directly responsible for ALL of data analytics infrastructure in snapchat. Pretty much most senior engineers have a similar scope.

We might be talking over one another though: I am not saying any of that is useless: I am saying they're hard to measure. We still do it though. We also do the coding round as something that gives a more definitive datapoint.

You have posted a well considered reply, and I wish I had time to do the same. The difficulty I have found is that even inside our own social groups, where acceptance is a established, discussing some topics can lead to instant anger, aggression and discord.

Trying to discuss things within a social group that is completely outside my norms is even worse. My experience is that every statement is criticised and no clarification is allowed at the worst end, and the best it's "let's agree to disagree".

This space in the internet is the only place I bother to even discuss these topics at all, and I have learned a lot about arguing a position from a better mental place because of nature of this group. (and from individuals like yourself)

But would this community work the same in a social setting, where we couldn't walk away and think for a bit? I have my doubts.

Therefore, it seems there needs to be a mass sharing of deep consideration and thought to our actions, among many other things to inspire change, and I am old enough now to know this will never happen in a society that values Instagram influencers and Black Friday over common sense and wisdom.
The polish of the product sadly doesn’t matter if no one knows about it. SEO is the necessary evil.
Yes I did. I will call my mobile provider to see if any changes were recently made.

I originally didn't suspect a SIM swap attack as I received a text message from one of my contacts around the time the e-mail address was changed. I was out of town of course and did not have my data on. I saw the Twitter e-mail notification the following day. Checking with my mobile provider will be a safe bet for sure.

Thank you for the info.

Walk confidently and never make eye contact. Easiest way to get into anywhere. It forces people to verbally call you out which people rarely do.
