Show HN: Giphy Signal – A Small Giphy Browser Made with React Hooks and Redux
About a year ago we had to pretty much shut down FB advertising as we simply could not come close to rectifying the click numbers they were reporting to us. That trust broke down much further when you considered conversions and more human-like activity down our funnels.

That said, for another business, FB is absolutely killing it for us.

The difference is in target market size and niche.
How to convince other people that what you’re doing is worthwhile and valuable.
Greetings! Author here, I was a bit frustrated at the state of DevOps metrics and how difficult and time intensive it is to capture basic delivery metrics across systems. I created ValueStream in order to help address this.

https://github.com/ImpactInsights/valuestream

It is able to connect and capture metrics from any system that emits events through webhooks. Would love to hear your thoughts and/or feature requests.
The entire point of this paper is not to start over from scratch, but to reuse existing software (Linux and memcached in this case), and fiddle with the linker command line and a little bit of glue to link them into a single binary. If you want to start over from scratch using a safe language then see MirageOS.

Edit: I don't mean to say you have to use C for the "userspace" part of this. It should be possible -- in future -- to use any language for that. However at the end of the day you'll still be linking that with Linux (written in C) and glibc into a single binary that runs in one address space.
Honestly, it doesn't matter how sensationalist it is. It should not take major funding to have an informational campaign to let them know adoption is a real and viable option.
Sure, but in fairness LibreJS (like most FSF projects) pre-dated SPDX by at least a year or two. If they redesigned it today, it would use SPDX.

It's not the child. It's a fetus. It does not have rights that trump the right of the mother to abort.

Poor people don't pay what rich people pay for daycare because they daisy chain together some combination of under the table daycare and relatives.

There's obviously trade-offs to that approach but my point is that upper middle class patterns of behavior shouldn't be projected up and down the economic ladder.

Upper middle class people call a plumber. Poor people call a plumber that owes them a favor.. Etc, etc. and so on and so fourth. It's a whole different economy and a lot of the patterns surrounding the crap in life that saps your money are totally different.

Javascript's "prototype" is really Self's "trait". Self prototypes have been replaced by constructors which rather than be normal instances are special constructs building instances then setting their prototype property as the (sole) parent to the new instance.

You can partially replicate Self's mechanism by performing a regular shallow-copy (e.g. using `Object.assign(target, source)` then explicitly copying over the prototype (that's fallible as Object.assign only copies the values of enumerable own properties so it's not going to copy the properties themselves).
> The reason this is not a feature is that it would add a lot of cost related to patents and IP licensing.

Looking at the numbers here(1), this is not right. They sold ~46 millions iPhones, ~9 millions iPads for a rounded total of ~50 millions devices with a GSM modem. Meanwhile, they "only" sold ~5 millions Macs, which include all the laptops and desktop offerings. Therefore, adding a GSM device to all their mobile offerings would only mean ~10% increase in number of modems (assuming all of those 5 millions macs are actually laptops). I would "blame" the lack of such an offering on the same reason they don't offer many different ports, like headphones, non usbc usb, hdmi etc.

Haven't actually read the study but not sure I understand your comment. Even if every village has only one birth, the probability of having no girls at random is 1/(2700) which seems practically impossible. Perhaps there is something else that made you response critically of their methods?
I disagree profoundly.

Source: I had so many discussion where someone complained about x getting a company car. I would not be in favor of them knowing the contract I have with my employer.

Companies can abuse this fact, out of question, but there are so many other factors involved, that it doesn't seem worth it to me.
> I work remote and get a fair market rate (for the value I add, not based on where I live)

Unfortunately there are two misconceptions here: 1) that companies pay based on added value and not on replacement cost, & 2) that "a fair market rate" does not vary with location, when in reality different locations have different labor markets.

The reason SV companies pay so much is because their candidates expect it, and part of why they expect it is the high cost of living in the area. A company that pays less than average will get worse/fewer candidates, thus a local labor market. For a remote company, paying an SV employee the same rate as a midwest employee is to effectively compensate the latter much higher, and what's fair about that?

Well the thing is that doesn't neccessarily disprove it either - if the only births allowed are male then that may be why it is <2 - if the practice is widespread enough it won't even stand out statistically - the ones that don't would and even then there are many other confounding variables like wealth level and density.

> 1,000 births (a random guess)

You don't have to guess, it's right there in the first sentence of the article. There have been 216 births, so about 1.6 per village, which makes having zero female birth statistically normal in each village individually, but possibly not over the whole area if these villages are all in the same area.

No, because that narrative has focused on systemic racism, which has nothing to do with the race of the individual officers, but rather with policing policies.

> feigning interest

I used to have a similar attitude to yourself. I have a lot of niche interests that most people I come into contact with have little interest in. I learned that having an interest in building relationships with people not built on interests has a vast amount of value that is not immediately obvious if you are emotionally distant, on the autistic spectrum, ADD or something similar. It wasn't until I purposely and thoughtfully corrected for it in day to day life did I appreciate these other kinds of values that I did not find intuitive to value before.

If you only feign interest, then you are not getting to know someone as they can tell you are not genuinely interested and they will not peel back any layers for you. The fact that the average person doesn't ponder subjects you consider deep does not make them shallow.

Anybody can and should feel free to offer their analysis regardless of their level of qualification. Otherwise we all just sit around waiting for the experts to chime in. And if it's wrong enough, it will prompt one to correct it.
That is surely a challenge. It seems similar to the structure of how do you convince someone their position on a topic is mis-informed (not that they are wrong). Most things I've seen and read are usually focused on getting that person to explain it to you. You ask leading questions and see if they can get to a logical inconsistency thereby changing their own mind. I don't know what "issues" you are referencing but if it is a Product Manager, for example, you could try an approach of referencing external best practices. "Facebook released a template for how to perform and present market research for a new product. This was super cool. Is this something we could do for our products?"

Stochastic Process Calibration with Bayesian Inference and Probabilistic Program
Over 700 villages, all with a birth rate of about two births per 3 months, there might very well be 132 villages with no girls born, 140 villages with no boys born, and 428 villages with one boy and one girl born. It wouldn't be alarming at all.

But if these villages represent a contiguous area, then it is alarming. The article doesn't really give enough information to say anything about this really.
I think you under-appreciate how stupendously expensive it is to settle patent disputes. There's no question that 4G would have been useful in laptops and given that Apple sells them at a premium, even small increases in market share are very lucrative. The reason they didn't was cost and mitigating risks infringing on relevant patents. For a phone this is essential and not optional, for a laptop this isn't the case.

I've been using Mullvad[0] for years.

I think it shows a big commitment to privacy when you don't ask for signup e-mails or other signup details, and when you accept cash in an envelope as payment.

Not to mention, Mullvad has been spearheading a number of privacy initiatives and development of privacy technologies.

Easy to read and understand policies, no excessive bloat on website (no GA), and more. If I sound like a fanboy, I am. And because of that, take my opinion with a grain of salt. I have no affiliation, though.

That's something we should be doing more.

Even non-expert should read the study and not comment on news articles.
My point is it's not analysis. It's a completely unsubstantiated assertion of fact based on what's actually a wild guess.

The info in the article isn't a study, it barely even summarises a study, and I'm willing to go out on a limb and say the commenter hasn't read the actual study. If so saying "this study isn't it" isn't simply an opinion, it's misrepresentation.

GP is confused. The market orders from retail investors are measured in hundreds to thousand share, mostly 100s rather than 1000, with 100x100 or 200x200 being a typical live quote on a 1000x1000 As soon as the retail investor starts throwing more than 1k orders they become limits.

All the talk about RH being a bogey man with it selling order flow is b.s. peddled by those who either suck the teat of the retail investors directly or those that live off the spoils from those that such those teats. Wall St is terrified that tech is coming to eat its margins -- that's why we get all this.

P.S. I'm not a fan of RH at all - 99% of the people who use it should buy an ETF with a 0.01-0.03% expense ratio and be done but if a random college jock that does not have a PhD in math can make $200k/year first year out of college in a Wall St firm, Wall St needs to get a haircut.

No, Facebook was founded in 2004 and it took 5 years to make its first profits in 2009: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2009/09/faceboo...

Your cited chart only begins at 2009 instead of 2004.

Also, if we count Accel Partners $12.7 million in 2005 as the "Series A" investment, Facebook was not yet profitable at that point. (https://fortune.com/2011/01/11/timeline-where-facebook-got-i...)

It's assuming abortion. I doubt most families from those villages have access to a facilities to allow the procedure, not to mention the equipment to detect the baby gender in the first 3 months of pregnancy.

I'd imagine it's either very late abortion, or straight post delivery murder. Which is more problematic.
But the mother would have most likely chosen otherwise given a chance.

The reason having a son is so important to them is that they're treated like shit and forced to work their ass off to survive.

No, I get how denormals work, I know what you're pointing at. But ML genuinely doesn't care, neural nets don't give a damn about mathematical purity[1]. In contrast compatibility matters because ML doesn't give you any guarantee that it's not depending on the behaviour at small values, and minor differences in rounding does cause issues. For example, Leela Chess Zero had difficulties with reproducibility because different GPUs round floats differently.

We got our first 200 paid users for our SaaS app
A friend was once owed about $2k, and did not receive payment on time. She phoned up the person processing payments, who told her that essentially the person running the shop had instructed them not to pay her.

She sent an email to the head of the company (small media company that works on documentaries), who told her that she would not get paid because there was a "grammatical error" in her work, and if she continued to ask for payment they would not hire her again (now I should mention the person she was working with was happy with the work, she gave them the opportunity to ask for alterations and they told her that the work was up to standard and she could bill them).

She fired an email back quoting the contract, and how the company told her in writing that they were happy with her work. Again she was told that she would not get paid and should stop asking or they wouldn't work with her again. She then got a lawyer to write to them and threaten legal action. They paid her that day, along with what a phone call from the boss calling her a "useless c*nt" along with a bunch of other insults directed towards the fact that she was female.
