Ask HN: How do you track pageviews for your website?
We noticed recently that a growing number of our users have 0 pageviews over the course of a week. Upon further analysis, we discovered it's because we have a single page app and users are keeping the tab open for long periods of time. Thus resulting in a single page view on the initial load.

I've been trying to find info on this, but it's tricky to search for. What's best practice here / what do you do?
I worked for one of the largest Corporations in technology back in 2005. We opened a facility in China for manufacturing and another smallish one for R&D. Our corporate network was constantly probed from these locations. There were several attempts to access financial data and other sensitive areas of our network. Whenever ever we brought the perpetrators forward to explain their actions, they immediately resigned without saying a word (would just walk out). Even the factory managers would remain quiet. It came to our attention many of the employees were part of the PLA, planted on the inside.

I believe it is impossible to operate a facility in China without having the PLA operatives on the inside. It's part of the risk companies take to do business in China.

I like the idea of this, but I have one non-negotiable - I have to be able to use Spotify on my phone. I have yet to see a minimalist solution that allows me to use my music player.
According to the government, yes.

There are obviously many options between "climate messiah" and "exponentially-reproducing, exponentially-consuming carbon footprint". People can create value in multiple dimensions.

Even if you only look through the lens of offspring's ability to impact climate, then having children is essential unless you think changing the climate can be done in a single generation (the current one).
The fact that colluding with a foreign government, and boycotting the domestic one, is seen as partisan, is confusing.
I would use Apple Maps significantly more if it allowed me to download maps for offline navigation, like I can with Google Maps.

Yeah, I ordered a drywall trowel from Amazon a while ago and it came in a plastic bag. Someone, somewhere dropped it and it bent the corner. I looked at returning it and the process seemed convoluted at best, so I just hammered out the corner until it was good enough to be functional again.

I tend not to order from Amazon much anymore, and this only strengthens my resolve to order from other retailers.
Sounds like Russia is going to have a lot more arable land in the future.
I recommend sticking with COBRA if it makes sense, I was in a similar situation and did COBRA for 18 months and it was about 20% less with 25% more coverage than what my family and I are on now. After that we did a blue cross blue shield and it is like all of them, a giant pile of suck with high deductable.
Amazon sometimes gets things wrong when it comes to packaging but they're light years ahead of Wal-Mart when it comes to right size packaging. I've only ordered online from walmart maybe half a dozen times but each time the box was too big and the contents were all flopping around hitting each other. I haven't tried their store pickup yet but have been amazed at how poorly they've implemented box packing for delivery.
it's fair to expect them to talk about how accessibility can be added, whether they do so immediately or not.
Agreed, the amount of resources, time and technology required to save this planet are minuscule compared to terraforming a distant inhospitable place.
Are they using React only for the small interactive parts?
Not ddg, probably whatever website you landed on.

Imo there's no point in dealing with ddg on an iphone if you can't even install adblockers.
Usually that just means it lets the charge level drop to ~98% or something before topping it off again which I'm sure they do but having doing anything with a lipo slowly kills it to some degree including simply being near high and low states of charge so it's no silver bullet.

What they would need to do is detect when the port has been has been connected regularly for days and let the charge level drop to some announcement proportionate to the frequency and duration.
Along these lines, if you are in the US I recommend a local community college. You'll get a solid foundation, you be on the correct pace, and you'll be working with people whose primary mission is to teach you. You'll also find that you're not alone.

I don't recommend self-study, simply because if that was for you then you probably wouldn't have asked the question. It may turn out after a couple of classes jump-starting you that you then want to self-study: fine, you can make that decision then (we'll even give you advice lol). But don't start there.

Thank you for linking to old.reddit.com. Personally I really hate the new interface at www.reddit.com.
I suppose that’s true. But it also occurs to me that their ops team is not your ops team, their observability stack is not yours, etc.

I work for a company that’s fairly well known here. I can’t recall us having an outage (or something less severe than a full outage) that was our cloud provider’s fault and not ours. I’d recommend the appropriate caution before “blaming the compiler”.
Actually anyone who would have ordered any of those violated the Nuremberg principles.
Kind of ironic, since the name "podcast" comes from the Apple iPod. If anybody would have first dibs on the name "podcast", it's them.
It is rather strange, isn't it? I usually auto back out once I see it's CNN. They still roll the freakin' insanely annoying video without any gesture from me, but somehow I didn't notice before I'd started reading. I may have lost a step tho...
Next up, exclusive websites that only work in safari?

Podcasts should just be an RSS feed that anyone can consume, but I think exclusivity will be important going forward, along with locking people into apps so they can be tracked and monetized.
It is, the sleeve carries the composite video signal. RasPi is intended to be usable for people from all sorts of economic backgrounds; there are still places where it's much more likely to have access to an old CRT than a modern monitor.
Funny you seem to think false accusations are somehow only restricted to the GOP.

I might believe you that USB (or Thunderbolt) is imperfect both to transmit video to my display and to charge my phone, but the thing is, it does it well enough, and even if using some special charger will give me twice the speed, I honestly don't care, the life quality that simplicity of using 1 cable gives me far outweighs the hypothetical efficiency advantage of 10 specialized cables. The only case when I can consider a dedicated output on a consumer-grade hardware is when the signal is fundamentally analog. Otherwise, why should I even care, if both the bandwidth and latency are mostly fine and voltage is ok to power up my device?
Because it doesn't make sense to protect anybody who mentions an incident of sexual harassment from being fired. Because then everybody would be protected from being fired, because everybody can tell a story of some incident they read in the news. Presumably the law is supposed to protect people who have been harassed and report it.
It's not selfish to reproduce, it's literally why every living organism exists. The "I'm not going to have kids to save the climate" is definitely a tiny, mostly social media based, echo chamber.

Most people would think it's absurd to view having children as "selfish" since it definitely requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice and is generally viewed as building the future of your family, community and humanity.

It's actually kind of sad that this anti-human trope is becoming so prevalent on message boards.

I think this [1] Wikipedia article better covers the situation with Huhne.

Yes, it’s definitely me that knows “weird subsets” of people, whatever that is supposed to mean. You’re immune to bubbles, and I am in one, right? Or is that a sneaky way of saying, “The people I know don’t think that, so I suspect you made that up”?

This is a silly thread, but for what it’s worth, I have not talked to anyone at Google in a security role about this issue.

I’ll be more blunt. I am highly skeptical that anyone in security there quit their job over the protests. But, I have no reason to doubt that your sample supports the protests.

Do keep in mind though that most people who don’t support them are keenly aware that going near any activism topic, especially at Google, is personal and professional jeopardy. Many people think they can’t even debate these things without running the risk of being on the receiving end of the scorched earth tactics employed by activists. And I’m not even talking about conservatives (of whom I know very few in tech, if any).

It’s not that they think it’s great that Rubin got dumptrucks of money, but the mentality is that if you take any issue with any of the demands or tactics, or the frequency with which they dominate the focus of employees trying to do their work, you’re suddenly a misogynistic transphobic racist enemy of the people.

Although an instrument of the US Government, the Federal Reserve System considers itself "an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by the Congress, and the terms of the members of the board of governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms.

Having more than one option is worth infinitely more to me than just one option I can vote on. It's not like the US dollar is going away. You present a simple example of false dichotomy rhetoric which hurts discussion and is uncharitable to the reasons someone could see the upsides of having Libra around.
Any new system will necessarily have better oversight than the one that has co-evolved in a murky organic soup with cash and foreign exchange. Even bitcoin has more transparency than the majority of transactions today.

Watching some of those Senate hearings is like a trial organized by superstitious villagers. Libra is just a company scrip, like poker chips, which happens to be facilitated by a distributed ledger. I don't use Facebook because it is an abomination, but given the trend toward de-dollarization, the return of currency baskets and reserves made of special drawing rights, and effective negative interest rate policies, Libra may be the last best hope of the US to maintain its current level of influence in the international currency market. Only thing I recommend is that the company should just change it's name to Statebook.
> It feels like you're just charging for a paywall and a mailchimp list... maybe thats enough, but given the amount of failures in the space, it feels like just another to go on top of the pile.

I've had little success with that in the past -- I've submitted patches for both valgrind and AddressSanitizer which have gone nowhere. (For the record these are https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393926 and https://reviews.llvm.org/D46546 -- feel free to upvote them!)

I suspect the same would happen with glibc. To be fair, the maintainers for these packages have a lot on their plates, and tend to pay more attention to submitters who they see often, so one-shots like these just don't bubble up to the top.
but in analogies, a:b::c::___ (a is to b as c is to what), having d be the same as b is not allowed. Such as, I believe, on a Miller Analogies Test.

In a mathematical context, if you have something like this: 2:0::4: (two is to zero as four is to what?) then acceptable answers might be 2 (rule is: subtract 2), or maybe it could be 1 (take half, subtract one). But it couldn't be zero. (rule can't be "multiply by 0").

I could be wrong but I believe that's how it works.
You're being pedantic. Saying "modding cars is legal" doesn't mean it's unrestricted.

Since when do insurance companies approve car mods? And what does that have to do with something being legal?

The only federal legal restrictions are on emissions equipment and safety equipment like seat belts and airbags. Some states have additional laws like tint limits and exhaust sound limits.

> I've always wondered, if the states were able to unite, why can't the European nations?

The original US states broke away together from the same sovereign with the same complaints, giving them a much stronger starting source of unity than the separate European nations, and even so the union was bitterly divided regionally almost from day one and fell into a horrific civil war with about 3 generations of actually forming a meaningful central government—and remained bitterly regionally divided for decades after that.
Correct. No one should be able to push out arbitrary code without explicit user approval.
Although I personally don’t like Overcast because of the ad injection (which I consider immoral) and the hypocrisy of its author being anti-ads in general (not to mention having built Tumblr, which turned out to be a porn obfuscation service), I agree that this is a bad move by Apple. Doesn’t matter: podcasts are going to go the way of TV, radio, and movies anyway.

And what happens when the competition shows up? IBM, Oracle, VMWare, Cisco, RIM, ebay etc. were all where Google is now, and by the time they realized they couldn't compete any more it was too late.

Exactly. I've tries a number of text-to-speech options before and found the voicing to be almost unusable, but the Alex voice in macOS (at least since 10.5) is pretty good. It even does the right context-dependent thing for polysemy cases, e.g. "I live in the mountains" vs. "I went to a live concert".
Ask HN: How to deal with constantly getting cut off in work discussions?
I work in an office environment (large Bay Area corporate enterprise software co) where people are constantly cutting each other off in conversations and technical discussions. For people that are a more soft-spoken, it is almost impossible to get a word in - nevermind getting a full thought-process in. This has negative implications on work discussions as the loudest people who are usually dominating the conversations, from my observation, are usually not the brightest.

I am not someone who tolerates getting cut-off easily but it is frustrating and it takes a lot of energy for me to drive the conversation back on track and say what I want to say. This is something that I never had to deal in previous work environments prior to moving to the Bay Area so I'm inclined to think it's something specific to this area. Recently, I have moved to a team in my company where it is almost damn near impossible to have my thoughts heard and in some cases, I just shut myself off from discussions to save my energy. It's starting to affect my work life and my daily mood because in a lot of cases I just don't have the energy to reject and explain why we shouldn't be doing X, Y, or Z.

Is this a common thing in workplaces? I would be interested in hearing if people have been in this situation and how they've dealt with it if so.
Muneeb and Ryan and I talked about this a long time ago and I continuously told them I didn't believe they'd actually pay app developers in App Mining and that I especially didn't believe they'd pay out an aggregate total of $1mil per month. Glad the prove the skeptic in me wrong!
Sure, but their opportunity to claim those dibs passed years ago.
> It is “not the intention at all” for Calibra to sell or directly monetize user data directly, though if it offered additional financial services in partnership with other financial organizations it would ask consent to use their data specifically for those purposes.

And of course, they'll get consent with a small EULA update to their existing users, knowing they won't read it.
Perhaps. The article offers many options, and 'ship-ready' to me suggests at the very least, much less branding.
It's 'interesting' that posts using that word get deleted.
On the other hand, Google has a growing problem with map spam precisely because they accept user submissions.

Choose your poison.
I am the same way with Google Music, and I was experimenting with the various minimalist launchers. The one I found is "Before Launcher", which lets you pick 6 apps to have on the home screen. I just added Google Play Music app to that list along with my others, and it seems just fine, outside not having a home screen widget for easy controls.
petulant (and I'm still not sure that's the right word for it) because instead of learning the technology that everyone else (i.e. the standards bodies that decide these things) decides is what we're doing now, you gotta do something different. Not better, but different.

Flash was proprietary tech. Eventually Adobe would have worked this out and owned the internet. You can't have proprietary tech underpinning everything. The story of video codecs bears this out.

I developed a ton of desktop UI in Visual Basic. It was easy. But I didn't have to allow for random screen sizes, random browsers, random OS's, random accessibility problems, rarely had to allow for random languages (and that was difficult), and I had a synchronous back end that I could wait for between clicks. Sorry, but the difference between desktop and web UI is huge, and underestimating that gap is a major cause of bad web UI.
Today, colonizing Mars is also "way outside of what is possible". It's all a matter of wanting to do it and then figuring out how to do it, one step at a time.

I'm sure that with enough time and effort we can figure out how to reach the Earth's core. Of course it will take a lot of creativity and lots of people and resources to figure it out, but we can definitely do it.

Also the Earth is right here, we are on it right now. Mars is very, very far away. We can iterate a lot faster here on Earth than anything we want to do on Mars.

What do we gain by colonizing Mars?

We can probably gain the same, or more, and faster, trying to reach the Earth's core first than trying to colonize Mars. In fact, reaching the Earth's core might even make it easier/faster to colonize Mars by applying all the knowledge and tech we would develop.
> an observer on the sun cannot tell, at least not easily / in any significant way, when a solar eclipse going on in Europe

But that is simply not true. An observer on the sun can tell, and the observation is both easy and significant: it would look like a transit of the moon across earth that passes over Europe.
I don't see how the most common usage of the term isn't relevant to a page about it.

I hate when searches parse like that. Ideally coffee shop, coffee shops, coffee, cafe, espresso, etc. should all give me the same exact results: 100% of the stores in the area that sell coffee.

I don't think there's a single piece of mapping software that doesn't suck hard in some way. It's pretty annoying how google maps shows you x number of results zoomed out, y zoomed in, and z with the map frame moved half a block to the left.

Just show me everything. Search the entire city. Flood my map. Let me do the vetting, that's what I came to maps to do anyway.
CNBC had a similar piece last week with more detail:

I did not know that. That’s neat.

Guess the point I was trying to make is that as long as everyone experiences the same disadvantage on average, then it’s okay because this is a spectator sport not a “Lets make the fastest lap times” kind of thing.

Cameras are pretty light now but I’m sure you could make a case that cars would be faster/better without them.
So, if nobody votes the way I do, I should be happy that I got to vote even though I will never get the thing I want. I don't see why that's better than having that plus other options that help me today.

Ha, $500k/year is the amount a salesperson can knock off the cost of Teradata 100TB setup without calling their boss.

As for ops stuff, I guess YMMV. We’ve never had any significant issues. Tuning is the same or less than on-prem systems IME.

Perf is still pretty much unmatched in the cloud, especially perf/$. Try to do a join on 100tb in a competing system (e.g. BQ) and it won’t finish.
>>don't fit neatly along the right-left spectrum

That's because it's more of a grid. You have 2 axis: Authoritarian/Libertarian, Economic Left/Economic Right.
