A lot of their stand up comedy specials are very political. You start to hear the crowd cheering a lot more than they're laughing. My wife and I watched the first episode of their new sitcom where Gabriel Iglesias is a teacher, and within the first couple of minutes it has a student saying that American history is just slavery and mistreating minorities, and the teacher makes a joke about our current president being covered in cheeto dust. My wife and I aren't Trump supporters, but it gets old seeing shows rely on political pandering for views instead of good writing. Here's a quote from Rob Schneider about it:

"Much late night comedy is less about being funny and more about Indoctrination by comedic disposition," Schneider continued on Twitter. "People aren't really laughing at it as much as cheering on the rhetoric. It no longer resembles a comedy show, it's more like some kind of liberal Klan meeting."

I used to have the old AT&T unlimited plan. A few years ago, they cancelled it due to tethering. I called in to complain, as I know how to tether “illegally”, but hadn’t been doing it. Eventually realized that I’d connected my phone to my mother in-laws new Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Jeep must have been making IP connections through my phone. Just to spite AT&T, I switched to Verizon.

They don't look at passwords

They look at breached sites and rather or not you saved a login for that site on a date before the site was breached.
> Now, of course, we designers know to make the upgrades come in a constant flow of smaller improvements. A host of bars slowly filling up and numbers increasing, so that the warm feeling never stops.

I don't think that's necessarily true. WoW moved more and more towards this model and all it did was make the game predictable and grindy. You need big chunks of uncertainty (will we kill the boss? will it drop what I'm after? will that item go to me?) to really kick the intermittent-reward circuitry into gear.

Constant small incremental progress is just easier to implement.
It used to be more or less true in the early days. For me the "one obvious way to do it" ship has sailed with list comprehensions which was introduced in 2.0 (released in 2000)
I'm not short Netflix because of subscriber count. I'm short Netflix because of their accounting. Capitalizing Stranger things season 1? Sure, makes sense, why not. But Stranger things season 3 is a lot closer to COGS. Their real income statement at this point in their growth curve (full saturation in the US) should be a lot closer to their cash flow statement, which is horrendous.

I've been reading Vogel's writing for something like 25 years now, and it always repays the time. He's entertaining but thoughtful with it.
Maybe it's having been born and raised in the midwest, but I pretty clearly hear 'for a man.' That's how I would say it, more like 'foruh' than 'for a'. As the article points out, it's rather hard to tell the difference in the two because overpronouncing the ending 'r' of a word naturally makes the same sort of sound. But, based on how we typically talk, 'for a ' would sound like an overpronounced 'for' with an emphasis on the 'r', whereas 'for' would end more with an 'r' sound without a trailing 'uh'.
Why would it need to send the passwords?

Could it not download a list of a every site that has ever been hacked along with their domain list and the date of the hacking, then warn you if you have a saved password for one of those domains that was saved before the domain was hacked?

Because that's what it does.

Yes, but who runs against nightly builds of MVC++? The idea is, presumably, that nightly builds have undergone less scrutiny (partly just due to time in existence) and so if there was something it has a higher chance of being caught and reverted before a stable release.

Ask HN: Can you model DoD as a thing that transfers risk?
Specifically, my hypothesis is it transfers risk from the Northern Virginia and Maryland housing markets onto the uniformed service members, and of course, the unfortunate souls on the other end of the conflict. Specifically, I would be interested to see if there are any correlations between the housing markets around DC, and payouts from the Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) fund. Sort of like a transistor: the conflict is the power signal, the housing and SGLI are information signals.
I have largely the same issue. As opposed to a year or two ago when I regularly used both Netflix and Prime Video, these days I have subscriptions to those as well as the Foxtel and Stan offerings just to keep the same sort of depth of library. I’ve drawn the line at 4 services, with a total spend very close to what I was spending previously on cable, such that if a new show airs on something I’m not subscribed to, I’ll either cancel one or just skip it. Competition only works when all players have the same content, if everything is an island of exclusive offerings then I’d suggest thats something entirely different, and probably not something that’s sustainable since customers have only a finite monthly budget for entertainment.

I've only recently learned about Babel Plugin Macros and haven't used it in production - but here are a few links in case anyone's interested.

https://github.com/kentcdodds/babel-plugin-macros

These "macros" take a different approach than Sweet.js: they're not syntax extensions, but rather code transformers that you import and use explicitly.
With nightly builds, there’s more of a chance that a piece of malware could sneak in and get used to build a release of Libra. I’m sure the Rust maintainers would find it fairly quickly, but even within a few days there would be tons of Libra users with compromised wallets.

More scrutiny goes into stable release builds than nightly builds, and more mature languages and tools have more experienced maintainers who are often (but of course, not always) better at scrutinizing releases. It’s not that MSVC++ can’t be compromised, but it’s pretty unlikely that it would be.
This explanation confused me, so let me rewrite it:

"Firefox downloads a list of breached domain names and the date they were breached, and merely checks if you have any stored logins on any breached domains that are older then the breach date."

The 'wrong problem' might include trying to achieve everything with smart-as-an-ant cars on dumb roads. It may be possible to make any important road smarter inexpensively, so that the car's sensors could 'read' the road. Then the car has external, deterministic 'input'.

By reading the road, pinging dumb targets, the car has input to help it decide if it can drive safely. If the targets go missing, it quits safely. The dumb targets should ping thru snow. At certain intervals, the road is smarter, with powered, networked targets that can update the car about 'danger, Will Robinson' conditions in real-time.
I'm not sure why the consistent way looks ridiculous.

do:
body()

while x < 10

It's just a compound statement consumes the trailing while clause.

Decorators already precede a function (or class) definition[2], and one alternative for the ill-fated switch statement[1] was to have switch precede the case blocks to avoid excessive indentation.

So there's plenty of precedent in the other direction.

>> "But you have to admit it is unethical."

No, I don't. Buying something for the listed price is perfectly ethical.

Your ethics are different. That's okay. People have different perspectives. My ethics don't require me to pay more than the asking price. I'll tip people who undercharge to the point that it's harmful to them (like albums on Bandcamp), but Amazon will be fine.

>> "People justify stealing $16 million from the government because it is just a rounding error every day :)"

I don't have the slightest idea what you're referring to here, but buying something for the price it's listed at is in no way stealing.
Are you sure this is the law? You advertise something for a price, the item is paid for, invoiced and delivered. At what point does such a law kick in? If I sell something 5% can I claim it was a mistake? What about 25%, 50%? Where is that line?

Clearly, the move is away from FF because unsequestered carbon fuels/energy isn't good for climate change. It'd be nice if LNG power plants burned their fuels and returned CO2 underground into BE/CCS (if net energy possible).

Other areas of energy consumption and fuel/petrochem need to follow suit soonish to be consistent per the climate change emergency.

Hmm, I'm not sure comparing Tokyo to megacities of less developed countries is fair either since they will usually have a lower cost of living.

I am at loss to understand this. Why take your own life for what clearly looks like an error in evaluation and could possibly be fixed with reevaluation?
Yes, it's distracting.

I imagine a review on nymag's site, explaining the "immediacy" that comes from mods leaving such obvious errors unfixed.

Or, a discussion of roads and traffic. Build bigger roads, congestion gets worse. Mods didn't sign up for this, grammar police! If they fix this one, we'll all get lazier about checking our titles, and the situation gets worse not better. This could be explained by the Lotka–Volterra "preditor prey" equations?

No, make a mistake in a title, you have to wear it. Like leaving a baseball pitcher out there, behind 16-3, to "take on for the team".

I got in on this! I got a Sony A7R II and a 24-70 2.8 II I'd always wanted but could never justify the purchase of. ($~3k value for $200)

A few observations:

- Despite the extraordinary deal we got, my friends (who also made a purchase) and I all have our joy offset by a feeling of regret that we didn't order more. Greed!

- Despite the fact that I couldn't justify the purchase before I owned them, I now definitely don't want to sell the gear. A clear cut case of the Endowment Effect in action [0]

- A lot of people saying the orders are going to be cancelled -- seeing as I currently have both body and lens in possession, I find that unlikely.

I’m a Netflix investor. I’ve posted my tech portfolio here before, Netflix was a big part of it.

Not anymore. I’ve decided to sell off in the after hours and be content with my 25%+ gain before things get worse. Or better. I don’t care.

I’ve had a bad feeling about NFLX for some time, but this earnings only confirmed it. And if they’re counting on a Stranger Things, they’re screwed. I felt season 3 was garbage, and so do many other people, the latest season of Black Mirror was also terrible. There’s just nothing here for me anymore, and because of that I can’t sleep soundly being invested in this company.
Perhaps I'm overly cynical but this feels like a pretense from people who dislike the poor and masking it as helping. There is sadly ample precedent of this sort of thing. The end goal seems to be "not my problem" and forcing them out / preventing them from taking root - perhaps motivated by property value concerns as much as prejudice. But it isn't acceptable to state such motives so openly, so they instead mask it with very strange kinds of 'concern' or 'helping' that just happen to pursue their goals. "It is for the sake of being humane that we want a minimum sizes of housing high."

There is the pattern of being willing to hoist restrictions and spend money on enforcement of the lower incomes but not being willing to add more to anything that would actually help them or reduce restrictions - and then rationalizing why that would be a good thing.

Titles like that try to generate the same effect as hot-topicness by relying on gimmicky language. They activate the same reflexive responses as I described above—they just do it by form rather than content. That's even worse of course. At least with a genuine hot topic there's a feeling of satisfaction when you find out what the latest development is. It's like watching the next episode of a popular series. But titles that have only bait and no content are like feeling that anticipation, only to be tricked into watching another commercial. That works for getting views, but everyone hates it and has an icky feeling afterwards, and over time it builds up a strong residue of resentment.

That kind of title operates even less by intellectual curiosity than the kind I was talking above, so it's even worse for HN. They are the kind we edit and everyone agrees with the edit.

H3: Uber’s Hexagonal Hierarchical Spatial Index (2018)
I think that this article does a good job of highlighting, and it really should have been the center focus of the article, the problematic term “pit bull”. The article points out that the term “pit bull” is used for several breeds that aren’t actually “pit bull” and goes on to discuss an anecdote of an animal shelter employee who discouraged a potential adopter from going towards a potentially good match with a dog labeled “pit bull”.

There is a lot of negative stigma around the “pit bull” family of breeds, probably for a lot of good reasons. How many apartment complexes these days outright refuse to allow dogs of this family? I’m willing to bet it’s over 50% in some areas. But what the article points out, and it’s an important lesson, is that there is a lot of variance between dogs of the same breed, such that breed isn’t as important as people make it out to be. I think it will be a long time before society comes to that same conclusion, however.

For a long time, I have always deeply despised the yearly dog show, and had several reasons for it, but haven’t really been able to voice my feelings into a coherent narrative. This article does a great job of doing just that. By compartmentalizing dogs into breeds that supposedly exhibit personality traits, aren’t we limiting the way we view dogs in general?
