Same is happening in the Faroe Islands at the moment. We're at the early stages, though.

Last summer was absolutely terrible, with tourists not getting informed.

Don't get me wrong, I do not blame the tourists at all. The tourism board has put out a whole lotta campaigns, social media marketing and shit. But they didn't do anything to prepare and inform this huge influx of people.

"Unspoiled and authentic" is the message. People go trekking across the mountains, and into the private property of farmers. One farmer has threatened to shoot tourists, with messages of "Tourists fuck off to your own country".

At least one person has died. A drunk festival attendee, I believe. It can get foggy extremely quickly. They fell to their death off a mountain, because they couldn't see where they were walking.

This could have been prevented by guided tours, but that would ruin the "authentic, unspoiled, whoa nature" image that the tourism board is going for. Alternatively, educating tourists on do's and don't's. A pamphlet at the airport and the dock.

I value ratings by X person because they've never upvoted spam. I devalue ratings by Y person because they're a spam shill, and everyone associated with Y person because they're all a hive of spammers. And then https://xkcd.com/810/ .

It would devolve into semi-isolated enclaves of interconnected inter-trusting users, but as you discover them, you could "trust their trust" and instantly include their enclave by reference. Which I think is a good thing -- you'd find a community that's all about some topic, and instantly benefit from their years of content gathering.

> A more collectivist attitude appears, from my experience, to get people to be more thoughtful.

Doing something good today, just because of peer pressure, means a person might take part in a progrom tomorrow, for the same motivation. I'd rather say collectivism and thought are directly opposed.

A few days ago, I also received the same message from a friend with a link to a fake youtube page, but unlike you, I actually clicked it despite intuitively knowing that it was malicious. Seemed like a "regular" phishing attempt but I now wonder if it is more than that, having read this article.

This doesn't seem true at all to me. Twitter dramatically shapes and modifies timelines to promote whatever they want. They're even more aggressive on modifying the search experience.

All of those constraints are invisible. It's dangerous to think you have more control or insight there.

You are getting downvoted probably because people aren't familiar with The Planiverse.

In fact, that's actually the point of the book -- the story is just there to string the explanations together.

Hiking in Washington is... frustrating to say the least.

I've even seen whole families with small children show up to snowy trailheads in tennis shoes expecting to do the full hike while I'm walking out with an ice axe dangling from my bag. They don't check trail conditions ever. I'm surprised more people don't die or get injured around here especially in the winter.

Now I try to find hikes that require some route finding as the people you come across on those hikes are generally people who are actually into hiking and not ig likes.

I think it's more a question of ability than age. For surgeons in particular, it seems there needs to be a clear line drawn when it comes to factors like fine motor control or vision being compromised. Perhaps it's on the medical field to determine these diagnostics and actively regulate/test for them.
Venmo's whole thing has always been broadcasting transaction details. I have no idea why anyone would want that, and in fact I seriously doubt anyone does want that. Venmo is successful because it makes digital peer-to-peer payments easy, and they are likely mistaking that selling point as evidence that people actually want the "social" aspect of it. I suspect they'd have a lot more users if they removed the public audit trail.

> In addition, large-scale residential and commercial development could be prohibited or limited in mountain lion habitats within a region covering roughly a third of the state.

It seems like something has to give. In particular, we can't have reasonable housing prices, a healthy mountain lion habitat and increased immigration and population (especially in California). Those three things are directly at odds with each other.

I don't know what the answer is, but it seems likely that mountain lions will end up as the lowest priority.
>This is not an excuse.

It's not supposed to be an excuse for anything. The GP asked why they didn't take a deposit and my response was to argue why that's pointless.
I thought one of the key principles in this discussion is that the goalposts keep moving: before it's a solved problem, it requires Artificial Intelligence; once solved, it's just basic algorithms. The bar for what constitutes 'AI' keeps getting raised.
It could be that they're setting up some new category related to tech or something, that would probably be my first attempt to rationalize why they sent the request to me. However, I think that a few minutes later I would've thought "but why would they ask an engineer and not an academic who has done research into this particular technology's contributions to economics?".

But, yes, I believe that the fact that software is transforming so much stuff all the time and we developers get to work with experts from all kinds of fields if we're lucky like agriculture, medicine, geology, finance and what not can give us a false sense of actually being an authority on any of the things we write software for.

I'm very sorry for whatever you endured behind the Iron Curtain but I'm from Europe too and you don't get draw arbitrary lines between peoples. You can't really say that Russia is culturally and historically part of Europe but then with the next breath deny that they are part of European society.

Russia is not an enemy of Europe, looks like Russia is returning to the Council of Europe: https://www.ft.com/content/dee5c792-9731-11e9-8cfb-30c211dcd... – It'd be a strange thing for a non-European country to be part of the Council of Europe.

I am not saying that there isn't a deep mistrust there and undeniably there is much friction and animosity. But Germany would hardly decide to construct an essential energy pipeline with an enemy, would it? In your mind you see Russia as an enemy of Europe but many people in Europe do not see Russia that way. Which group is correct? Maybe life isn't black and white and the truth is somewhere in the middle? There's a difference between being a geopolitical rival and an outright enemy.

It troubles me deeply that there is so much hostile speech on HackerNews for our brothers and sisters in Russia and China.
It's worse than this - their entire life needs to be Instagram worthy. Everything they do is in the name of getting the next perfect shot, so they can influence others in the name of social advertising to make a quick buck. They either become proficient photographers, videographers and writers or they team up with those who are, capitalizing on the latest trends in photography to consolidate their brand.

The problem is we as a culture are both enabling and encouraging this by following these influencers, in effect paying them to do this. And not just a couple of hundred bucks here and there, these social media influencers have gone from nobodies to multi-millionaires almost overnight.

So it's not all about self involved. This is one of the negative consequences of the age of social media.

My kids follow these social media influencers who may as well be today's answer to Gucci, Donna Karan, Versace, Armani. There's make up influencers for the big beauty conglomerates. There's clothing influencers for the the fashion industry. There's tourism influencers for the tourism industry, all making millions of dollars a year trying to win the hearts and minds, or rather money, of the social media generation.

I think you're both wrong. Since the dawn of civilization there has and always will be people disrespectful of nature. Your proposed causes are merely localised perturbations.

I think the _recent_ issue is in the title, and it's global, it's social networking. I can't think of any other force in the world that pushes huge numbers of people who have basically no interest or respect for nature, to go out into it, not learn anything, not gain any respect, and then destroy it... Selfies are a natural resource for social networking, and the natural world is full of them, ripe for exploitation.

This only seems beneficial if you're attempting to break compatibility with the browsers' built in understanding of ul and li tags (perhaps some concern that browsers will handle those tags differently in the future). Otherwise, they're just reinventing the wheel for the sake of doing so which may make for a fun exercise, probably shouldn't be used in a real project.
I'm a little concerned by the tone of this article. It keeps talking about "punishment" by a massive corporation, which gives me dystopian chills.

I agree with the argument that Youtube does not want to monetize his content (which I've admittedly never seen). But their power should not extend beyond their website.

The author sounds upset that they can't destroy this person's own business outside of Youtube. The most that Youtube can do should be demonetizing or banning in extreme cases. Google (or any other entity) should not be the police of the entire internet.
That's not a marginal cost of production, though. It costs almost the same to fix a bug if you have one user or a billion users.

It certainly is a real cost that has encouraged software vendors to move from "box" sales (which became tricky when we gave up on boxes) to annual licenses and/or SaaS. But it's not a marginal cost.
They are great examples of poorly-designed replacements for existing open source software being pushed into widespread adoption solely because the largest Enterprise distribution of Linux willed it.

And also great examples of software developers lying about their intentions early on to silence criticism of their design and the subsequent ramifications of adopting their solutions.

Multiply that by 100 when comparing Google's influence with Redhat's.

If Google wants to develop their own libc, they can. I'm f they want to make it open source, they can. There's nothing about doing those things that necessitates doing so as part of the LLVM project.
Losing your ability to reproduce without consent is definitely a bad thing. For others, there's already birth control and vasectomies.
In the immigrant diaspora, another reason why you see so many travel agencies is they will also quietly loan you the money for a trip, for people who need emergency flights for funerals back home or a wedding/something else. This is why if you've ever walked through say a 'Chinatown' in a western city, and have seen a dozen travel agencies stacked on top of each other all selling the same thing, they're competing with various favorable loan rates.
Their actions make me sick and not comfortable. This shouldn't be allowed.
Any trust needs some kind of root. The big problem is that you need to prevent a billion real users from being "outvoted" in that Bayesian inference by a billion fake agents (augmented by thousands of paid 'influencers') saying that spam is ham and vice versa, and ensuring that they all have good reputation.

> The notion that massive tragedy is OK if the fault can be placed with the victims under the argument that they demonstrated financial incompetence is simply antithetical to civilization.

It is, however that may be, fundamental to the modern conservative position on a wide range of issues.

> Otherwise, why not ignore anything that can be placed under the umbrella of personal responsibility?

That is, indeed, the point of the argument. (It is, of course, less consistently applied to corporations and the investor class because “job creators”, but still...)

> The idea that people deserve this and it's not fair to those who already made it through seems like a purely emotional reaction,

It's not, it's cynically manipulating emotional reactions. The motivation is more coldly considered defense of the privileged position of the already successful than any kind of emotional reaction.

1) The idea is that a more organized structure is easier for a librarian to index. Today, libraries still have librarians. The book pile just wouldn't take decades to build familiarity.

2) Times change. New technology exists, people use the internet differently, and there's more at stake. Just because an approach didn't work before doesn't mean that it won't work now.

There are real problems with an organizational approach, but I don't see why the idea isn't worth a revisit.
It can work like that. Here in the UK, we increasingly rely on Surgical Care Practitioners - nurses who can independently perform a specific set of routine surgical procedures. Medicine stands to benefit greatly from the division of labour and economies of scale; a large surgical unit with a diverse range of skillsets can perform more surgeries with better outcomes at lower cost.

Note that there are plenty of type A power cables that lack data lines as well, so this is not only a Type C problem.

These Type A charger cables are out of spec though, I believe.

As far as Type C goes, AFAIK there isn't a true "universal" cable available and probably there never will be (though a thunderbolt cable today is pretty close...but unlikely to support 100W power distribution). The reason I say "never will be" is that some of the high performance data transmission or power transmission are expensive and someone who only needs 15W of power and/or USB 2 won't want to pay for that. Plus new modes are being invented all the time.

I think their point may have been that there is no adequate protection from ticks right now and that we urgently need to invent one.

I have loud children, but they don't actually reach 110dB. I mean, YMMV, but I'd notice if there was something literally as loud as a rock concern in my basement or backyard.
No link to the actual study. I need to know if they controlled for body fat and lifestyle.

It's well established that high body fat percentage is correlated with lower sex hormone production. Among other factors, this could be due to decreased bloodflow to the genitals.

It's not unreasonable to think maybe the people eating the junk food were simply fatter.

Another concern is whether they're getting adequate nutrients from other foods. There's a bit of substitution going on when a higher percentage of calories coming from junk food, but it's completely possible to eat McDonald's for lunch every day and still get 100% of your recommended vitamins, minerals and fiber from other meals.

This is just poor reporting.

That's a workable issue. If a random and unique guid is asking for results, it would be hard to correlate users.

Of course there would defiantely be an issue with how you generate the guid (for example if it was generated by the users MAC + some predictable random number generator that might be reversible). So you would keep that in mind. But these seem like workable issues.

"Children see more colours as well."

I'd be interested in hearing more about this. I understand the mechanism whereby audio sensitivity is progressively lost but I don't see why getting older would result in seeing fewer colors. Is this perhaps instead that we are less sensitive to color, requiring more photons to have the same color experience, but not actually seeing "fewer colors" in the sense that there are colors that fall off our gamut entirely? That would make sense to me.
This could equally well be a function which takes a string and a seed and returns the hash.

The more concrete the type signatures become the less they become documenting.

A signature of a -> a defines the id function because the type is so generic. A function of String->String can do pretty much anything.
