Is it possible now to make a completely silent water/magnetic liquid cooler for a CPU by forcing this liquid to flow inside a heat pipe by a few electromagnets? Thus removing the noisy motor driven pump.
What about in the opposite direction? What if I build something that makes the neighborhood nicer (like buying a burned out building and replacing it with one that is beautiful and matches its neighbors). It seems like the neighbors should pay me their increased home value, right? If Nancy plants flowers, you have to pay her. It's only fair. It's also ludicrous. Your idea is unimplementable.

It would be simpler if everyone just stopped viewing their home as an investment. The meme that 'homes are investments' is a very recent invention. They not investments; they're depreciating assets.

maybe those people just make more of a good story for an article or movie? it might be a sampling bias. We have to be careful in a world dominated by storytelling. Maybe that guy was actually completely different than what is reported, it's just that a publication needed a good story to sell advertisement.
I see the confusion now.

The entire point of this thread is that some of use pitted random vs this AI. And tht AI is winning more often than it should. Zero humans were involved.

Which brings us back to you can't game random.
Some months back when this was posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17944934 , I thought about doing a POC about this topic. You could scrap a lot about tourist data from state/regional/communal websites and make travel suggestion for the least tourist plagued locations in a given area. The problem in the long run is the more successfull you are, the worse the experience will be, in short term tourism/vacation is to crowded currently to get it flying.
Sure. But that's not relevant to the argument being had. Growth beyond a certain point in management being easier, while perhaps true, isn't the same thing as claiming that swapping from IC to management is, alone, a promotion.
"social norms that have developed" are a big part of what a culture, or "subculture", is.
That's a very strong claim you're making there. Do you not consider mixins from News and YouTube to be "web pages"?

I've also worked at Google. Things that are clearly the case:

1. There are blacklists of certain political query completions on web search, like "hillary clinton emails".

2. There is a controversial query blacklist on YouTube with political content. Go look at the file in google3 if you really think the screenshots are faked:

https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/06/26/blacklisted-leaked...

3. Google News is quite clearly blacklisting Breitbart from ranking: it's indexed but in many years of using Google News I've never once seen it be selected. The Guardian, on the other hand, routinely makes it into nearly every selected story.

The writing is clearly on the wall for you. Whether organic web index results are reranked politically or not, and for what it's worth I believe you for that specific subset of the system, other teams in the company that didn't inherit the same culture are doing politically motivated things with the full knowledge and acceptance of the executives. It's only a matter of time before web search falls to that new culture too.

And when it happens you probably won't even realise it. Some team you've never heard of will quietly adjust a machine learning model in subtle ways you'll never detect, to "debias" it in order to yield "better outcomes".

> The entire idea that losing your hair is bad is socially constructed

Humans are a social species, and trying to discount something as being not important or not “real” because it is a social norm just completely ignores large parts of human history and evolution as a social species.

Social interactions and conformity (within a limit) are extremely strong drivers of both friendship circles and options for successful mating. Many women consider a nice head of hair as an important trait for attraction, and few men would date a bald woman either.

You simply cannot discount these facts (or say they are not facts because they are “social”) just because doing so helps you to accept your situation, and certainly can’t say that everyone else should also do the same. Especially for young men who have not yet had the chance to find a mate, this is a very important issue.

Ukrainian society is ill and this is one of the recent inflammations that hurts.

Being unable to fix roads or economy, they have directed their frustration towards symbolic things, fighting everyone who calls Kiev "Kiev" instead of "Kyiv", renaming streets, etc. Now they have decided that "the Ukraine" is somehow referencing Ukraine as a territory and not a state. God knows where any of this comes from, but any "patriotic" idea gets boosted immediately no matter how stupid.

Hi,

I think you should start by making sure you set clear directions, and everybody understands. Then, just also be open to listening when people have something to say.

A surprisingly low part of your time will be spent as a 'policeman'. Most people do not try to cheat or be lazy, they just want to understand and be listened to.

Simply being tall requires a higher caloric intake, and thus puts tall people at a disadvantage. The genes for tall stature do not express themselves when that higher food intake is not present during developmental stages. Tall people are more a phenomena of advanced agriculture than natural selection. They are not necessarily more formitable, but are rather a larger target, or a clumsier hunter. Evolutionarily, being tall means a lifetime of above-average access to food, and while that's desireable in a mate, it's just as much about the environment one lives in as it is the genes one's born with.
Some funds are sufficiently large/diversified to avoid worrying about uncertainty in a single stock. If someone cared about this uncertainty, they would already have sold their shares to these funds before, so the reduction of uncertainty would have a negligible impact on share price.

I started going bald in my early 20s, and initially I just had my hair cut longer on top, in an attempt to mitigate it.

By my late 20s, I bought a trimmer and started buzz cutting my remaining hair at the lowest setting once a week.

Now I just let the power donut grow, and trim once every couple of weeks.

Why not pump the 'water' out of the bulk into a separate containment vessel. This way the ship's crew could neutralise the risk without reducing the weight of their cargo. When unloading they can give back the 'water' component of the cargo separately. So the weight of the cargo is basically unchanged.
This is only true if the only way to get compensation increases is via a promotion. Granted at many companies this is true, but it probably isn't true at Square.

If you get promoted to Senior level, the assumption is that you're getting paid what a senior should be. If then, you take on additional responsibility above and beyond what a Senior is doing, you get merit increases up to some higher point. That is, a Senior who is getting 5/5 performance ratings probably makes more than a Senior with a 3/5. Eventually, that 5/5 person might get promoted (I say might because an exceptional Senior might not make a great Staff engineer. Someone really good at implementing things quickly, but with terrible design sense won't make it to Senior in a lot of orgs, for example, even though they might be a very strongly performing Engineer) to the next level, at which point the process starts again.

Hi,

getting users to invest time in a new product is not so easy. One of the fears is that someone will invest time in a product that will be abandoned. There are graveyards or abandoned softwares.

PizzaQL – Modern order placement and management system for pizza restaurants
Hi HN!

My name is Antoni, I'm 16 years old self-taught developer from Poland. During my free time, I enjoy creating small open-source projects. Today, I'm happy to announce my biggest project ever, which is PizzaQL. It's an order placement & management system for pizza restaurants, built using modern technologies, like React, Next.js, GraphQL & more. Even though it is not finished yet, it is usable :) I would really like to receive constructive criticism & suggestions. Also, if you liked the project, consider starring it on Github - it means a lot to me.

Thanks!

I developed a working product as a side project, and I am now trying to sell it by working on it part-time and keeping my full time job (actually tring to keep find of strict 9 to 5).

There are positives and negatives about my situation:

+ no risk for my family (except I am very busy)

+ I can actually experiment my product at my current jov (kind of customer 0)

+ my employer (large european corporation not in the IT business) was actually surprisingly willing to let me work on a side project, and did not bother me with IP.

- So far, I did not manage a single real customer (though company only started 2 months ago). I may have a better result if I was full time.
Eh, I personally think the response in the foremost link is disingenuous. It says v4 can’t talk to v4+ (AutoIPv6 address). This would be true for non dual stacked systems; in whatever world you come up with. Obviously you need at least one host to be dual stack for interoperability.
Well, it’s much easier with your code. I immediately opened up a 3x lead on the comp. I stopped at 17-6-17 (W-L-T). What I did was to play the hand that would have beaten the computer’s previous guess, and if the computer looks like it’s figuring it out, I play the hand that beats my strategy once or twice, and then resume.

"I had a privileged life and I got lucky and I’m unhappy. They say it’s like the “me generation.” It’s not. The arrogance is taught, or it was cultivated. It’s self-conscious, that’s what it is; conscious of self. Social media is just the market’s answer to a generation that demanded to perform. So the market said, ‘here, perform everything to each other all the time for no reason.’ It’s prison. It’s horrific. It is performer and audience melded together. What do we want more than to lay in our bed at the end of the day and just watch our life as a satisfied audience member?

I know very little about anything, but what I do know is that if you can live your life without an audience you should do it."

Spiders are also useful. My exgf lived in a farm and had dozens of harmless spiders in the ceiling of her bedroom that ate all mosquitoes. It nuanced my view on spiders.
I think Google is as dangerous as Facebook, Amazon, etc... All of these companies are in the business of capital centralization.
They make a profit by restricting options for consumers; they funnel all the consumers to the highest bidders. They increase the winner-takes-all factor.
They're turning our capitalist free market economy into a pseudo-communist economy whereby consumers have fewer and fewer options within any given product category (they do this by driving producers out of business by saturating media channels with their chosen winner for each category);
it's just like in the USSR when they were producing only one kind of each item and ran propaganda campaigns to control consumer behaviour; that's where it's heading.
They are profiting from the erosion of the free market, democracy and capitalism.
The plants and the fish can die. On the short term, the oxygene content of the water is the problem. The oxygen content decreases with increasing water temperature. So beyond a certain temperature, the oxygene levels can go below the levels required for survival, the animals and plants suffocate. Especially in lakes it can happen, that in these weather conditions basically all fishes can die at the same time. Agitating the water helps to maintain higher oxygene levels.
For my job, I often have to google a specific technical issue. It often directs me to company blogs, which I read happily.

I must say that, while I read happily the blogpost, I never once contacted a company because of a nice / useful blogpost they wrote.

The reason is that it is so complex to work with a new provider in a big company (purchasing process...) that we often prefer to stay with existing providers.
I'm trying to kit my own apartment out with IoT stuff, my biggest concern isn't voice functionality, or compatibility with social media.

It's security. A NodeMCU device can connect to WiFi via build-in password, but I'd prefer per-device certificate credentials in order to control what a device can do. This would mean enterprise WiFi and radius, Maybe VLANs. Making this easier is the main thing for me.
