Ask HN: Which charities/non-profit are tech-friendly?
I was reading this article: https://www.thirdsector.co.uk/less-third-charities-using-new-technology-effectively-increase-giving-report-finds/digital/article/1581921

It surprises me how many charities are missing a huge opportunity to build a product/marketing that helps them to raise money more efficiently.

Which charities are tech-friendly/using tech? I am looking to help in this space, and I am interested in charities that use technology to help to fix the issue OR to raise money.

Example:
charity:water has a fantastic platform and uses a lot of "growth hacks" to raise money.

Vote.org uses technology to simplify political engagement
I find it ironic that the government that still promotes a high carb, low fat diet composed of mostly grains, fruit, and dairy, thinks it's in the moral position to dictate who should be giving health advice. I'll support the court's decision the day choosemyplate.gov is shut down.

Thought experiment: Why doesn't the government regulate all forms of advice for profit?
Yes... my comment was made ignoring the asymmetric power, as GP said. I quoted that bit myself.
Raise the price!

Add a premium service where the user can request who will answer the question. In case the expert is not available for some time offer to get the answer from another expert in exchange of something (like reducing the price??? or some free questions for next month???)

Are you paying the experts? Can you pay them more for answering premium questions?

Do all the experts have the same level? (obviously no) How much difference is there in the quality of the answers?

I think that's really more a function of what slant the market is currently in, ie, renter's or landlord's market.

If there were a glut of apartments compared to renters, the desperateness would be reversed.
Developers of apps like Fortnite and Tinder believe the fee is too high for the services it provides, and they're literally putting their money where their mouth is by bypassing the fees and forgoing the benefits of the store.

We'll be able to tell if they're right by looking at whether the 30% savings offset the increased costs and lower install rates. The fact that developers are able to realistically try this out is a sign that the market is working as intended.

This is why Google's model of allowing 3rd-party stores is (imo) a pretty direct improvement over Apple's -- it allows us to run these kinds of experiments. Why waste time having a philosophical argument about whether or not Google's cut is fair when we can just test the hypothesis directly?

The other idea I want to push against is that because Google built a platform, they're entitled to continue to make money on it. That's just not how capitalism works -- "value" here is what the market will pay you, it has nothing to do with whether you did something good in the past. Google may have put a lot of resources into creating an amazing platform, but if being listed on the store is not currently increasing profits for large apps like Tinder after fees, then the cut isn't fair.

Their past contributions to the app ecosystem don't matter.

If you are logged into Chrome your history is synchronized across platforms, tied to your Google account. Same as with Firefox Sync. Not sure about behavior when not logged in, or when incognito.
Apparently I'm wrong, and there's no point in trying to be economical. The evidence is wrong, and people who spend wantonly actually end up with more net available funds. Who woulda thunk it?
If you sign in it syncs history across devices, so I assume it does. Although it would technically be possible that they encrypt it using a key Google doesn't have, I wouldn't assume they implemented that.
It should not be enforced through the civil court, or at least not at first. This is actually a case where a new bureaucracy may be needed to handle reports of non compliance in a standardized way.

The civil courts should pretty much never be society's "first line tech support" for the reason you cite as well as high cost and lack of consistency.

Of course this would never happen because of regulatory capture in the US by lawyers in this case. The US is far more corrupt than most people think.
Glassdoor, Yelp etc are all games by reputation management companies and HR departments. It's also in the best interest of Glassdoor and Yelp to allow businesses to remove unsatisfactory reviews, which Yelp already does.

>They'd probably decline to provide them and refuse to rent to you, in the same way as you can decline to provide them and refuse to rent from them.

Well... yeah exactly. You realistically don't have the option to ask for a reference about them and you can't simply refuse to rent from them because you need shelter and 99% of people won't went to you if you don't play ball.

Changes in favour of tenants are being proposed because in reality there is a problematic power dynamic. You can discuss whatever fanciful hypothetical you like to insist it is somehow not the case "legally" but reality tells a story that you can't ignore.

I believe New York requires all psychics to have signage disclosing that they are purely entertainment. But frankly I don’t understand how psychics stay in business. E.g. Davis square is a pretty trendy area in Somerville outside of Boston (supposedly reddit started there). Decently popular restaurants seem to get kicked out frequently from what I imagine is just hard competition. Yet somehow this small area houses TWO psychics, neither of which seem to ever have customers going in or out. I don’t get how they pay rent, unless they’re just money laundering fronts.
That's a real interesting grab bag of reasons you don't like solar.

You want to help the urban poor and stop the rich taking advantage but you don't like government intervention or taxes. Must be tough coming up with solutions that you actually would accept when you place those kind of constraints on yourself.

Me personally, I'd use progressive carbon taxes and mostly let the power of the free market sort it out. But I guess that involves taxpayers paying for it, which I guess is now considered bad somehow? Like the military and police and schools and courts and half of modern civilization and all that terrible stuff that taxpayers pay for.

Please notice that this documentary is a little controversial in Greece. It was produced by an anti-government TV station and was aired a little before the EU elections (and 1 month before the government elections which actually resulted in the change of the governing party in greece).

Most of the facts presented should be right but they have a dash of anti-government propaganda so watch it with a critical eye.

There are a couple of reasons (you alluded to them when you said some of the principles of QM are indeed as fundamental as QFT):

- My favorite one is that in terms of computational complexity, the QM and QFT are equivalent. A computational machine based on the rules of QM can simulate QFT efficiently.

- How does QFT describe the following situation: you have a particle created at location x that then propagates and passes through a double slit setup where you might selectively close one of the slits at any time (i.e. you measure the particle's location). Any challenges of interpretation present in QM are still present in the QFT formalism (but mathematically, both do predict the evolution of the system correctly).

- While my QFT experience is limited, I have the impression that the tools for dealing withixed states it has are less developed than the ones in QM. Given that due to the previous reasons QFT does not give much new insight to the topic of measurements, it is reasonable to stick to the simpler (but equivalent in our parameter regime) theory of QM and it's more sophisticated mixed-state toolkit.

I've looked at Vespa a bit. It looks pretty good.

It's also readily apparent that it's an ancient system that's grown out of an in-house project, and that its design has accrued a lot of oddities over the years from lack of careful, co-ordinated design. It includes a bunch of esoteric features (like the "predicate" function) that have obviously grown out of Yahoo's own internal architecture.

One curiosity is Vespa's approach to schema and configuration changes. To make any kind of change, or indeed set up an index, you have to create that "application package" containing your schema and configuration in the form of files, and then use separate REST APIs to "upload", "prepare" and "activate" it. There's a CLI tool to help perform those steps, at least.

It's nice that they're more consistent and rigid about schema and config evolution than Elasticsearch. But it's not exactly operator-friendly, at least not for first-time users with no pre-existing operations based around Vespa.

The package design also makes it more cumbersome to perform programmatic updates for a schema. I once worked on a SaaS project where we indexed data in Elasticsearch — arbitrary documents where we didn't know the schema ahead of time, because we just accepted any JSON document posted by the client. With ES, we could just use its dynamic mapping support, which automatically creates field definitions when new fields arrive (using regex-based templates). Do you know how long a package update takes in Vespa, to add, say, a single field?

The Vespa documentation is also pretty terrible, in my opinion. They explain a lot of things, but it's confusingly written, uses a lot of homegrown terminology, and neglects to collect all the reference documentation in one place. For example, you can't find an overview of the entire API — fragments of it are just scattered across a dozen or so unrelated pages.

Lastly, Vespa is Java. One of the biggest challenges maintaining Elasticsearch is controlling its resource consumption. You have to give it a lot of RAM, and it's never clear how much it needs and what configuration settings and usage patterns affect its memory use. Tuning it is something of a dark art. I don't know exactly how Vespa is implemented (is it all pure Java?), but I'm worried that, being a JVM app, it has the same shortcomings.

Here are a couple but just reading through them, I think they are lacking. I need to think more about why. I suspect it's about tactics vs. principles.

Anyways, check these out but do so with an inquisitive mind.

https://rework.withgoogle.com/guides/understanding-team-effe...

-----------------------------
Before Google came along with Project Aristotle there was W. Edwards Deming, who advocated "driving out fear" in reference to creating psychological safety.

Here's a blog post with some ideas from Deming's work. You'll see things at the tactics level but also much at the system level, like stack ranking is a bad idea for psychological safety.

Much of Deming's work had manufacturing as its context but an enterprising mind can see how it relates to knowledge work and other endeavors. Read Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull to see how he used ideas from Deming to build their systems and culture.

And perhaps also from abusing their privilege as extremely rich real estate owners who wouldn't let black people (who can't afford to dodge the draft) live in their buildings.

And also for lying about having bone spurs, when the women who "dodged" the draft weren't actually lying about their gender, but were actually just following the law of the land.

And for having a long track record and infamous career of discriminating against blacks and women; and for relentlessly questioning which country a black president was born in, as well as his very legitimacy; and for unceasingly criticizing, even after his death, a war hero who actually did fight for his country and spent a great deal of time as a prisoner of war.

The utility of the hash for a user and some potential attacker is the same. Yes, passing 8 fewer bits means that they have 256 times more possible sites you might have visited. But it also means that you get 256 times as many false positives of websites being labeled as phising. This is what GP meant by it being problem without a good solution.

One possible option is to do what haveibeenpwned does, where you give fewer bits and then locally check. That would be a good improvement to the system's privacy, but you probably want to avoid downloading the hashes of every malicious website that starts with the given 3 bytes (I'd assume the list is quite large) for every page load.
It's important to note that there is a ~0% chance that this will pass the Senate or that the current President would sign it.

>Those all undergo change as well

And we are free to disregard small changes, like we do everywhere.

I'm aware of Heraclitus' thought (and other pre-socratics, Aristotle, Plato, Kant, Hegel, and many others besides) but it's not a binding observation (that one should fell compelled to respond by resolving some great paradox).

"Yeah, the river undergoes small changes all the time, and bigger changes from time to time. Still enough remains common for us that we still don't care and will call it by the same name, what are you gonna do about it?" is a nice common sense response...

While I've really enjoyed your posts in this thread you're anecdotes do highlight something very important; quality software is expensive. Also, most clients, be they internal to the org or external don't really know what they want and certainly don't have the wherewithal to supply detailed, testable requirements up front.

Where I think most shops touting "Agile" miss the mark is the customer collaboration part. Extracting the detailed requirements you've described would take a lot of upfront time and effort that I've found most "Agile" shops don't have the stomach for. Where the rubber usually meets the road is in "Grooming" sessions. These sessions are typically rush jobs to move Stories to "Ready for Dev" but what I've experienced is there's rarely adequate information to proceed to development after a typical Grooming session.
If the health advice given by a health coach is bad, people are harmed regardless of whether they paying for the advice. So if the state can paid unlicensed health advice, why not unpaid unlicensed health advice, including advice given over the Internet? I can see, for example, how a health coach who told people not to vaccinate their children could do a lot of harm, but I don't think books and web sites advocating this should be banned.
What is the meaning of the phrase "which branch you will end up in" given that MWI implies that all branches exist?
You also need to consider the greater context. Suppose my history shows I sent a hash that could be one of 100 different known URLs. One of them is about model airplanes, but there is no way to know I picked that one. Chance I like model airplanes? All else being equal.. call it 1%

But what if over the next hour I continue to send hashes with random subject matter sets that include model airplanes each time. Suppose the intersection of the possible subject matters shrinks with each additional hash, quite possibly contains only model airplanes.

I visited 100 URLs in one hour. For each URL there are 100 others with the same hash but independent topics. Lets say there are 10,000 known topics, but every hash I sent has model airplanes associated with it. Now what are the chances I like model planes?

It seems clear to me that this scheme, with logging, reveals a lot in theory. But maybe solving this problem in practice would cost more that the data is worth. For now.

The way I convert is to remember that 32°F is 0°C and then count by "nines" for Fahrenheit to get the desired temperature in Celsius.

32°F = 0°C
41°F = 5°C
50°F = 10°C
59°F = 15°C
68°F = 20°C
77°F = 25°C
86°F = 30°C
95°F = 35°C

It's also pretty easy to remember that 10°C = 50°F and 35°C = 95°F if you want to go forward or back from there with the same counting method.
