>> Everything is destroyed in some cities and they have lost everything they had Including family members.

I think most of us agree that migrants traveling long and dangerous distances to Europe don't have much to loose back home. Now the question is if their lives are not in danger anymore why should Europe host them and pay them a better life ? Is this supposed to be a solution to world's poverty? As we've seen if support is provided or better said lack of counter-measures you may experience a continuous stream of migrants(i.e millions). Even if we want, we can't welcome everybody, I fear we can't coup even with the people who really need help, let alone the economic migrants.

On the other side there is also the cultural issue. Millions of people change the landscape for sure and the natives don't want to compete with migrants(why would they?). UK is leaving EU because of european "migrants" so it's not something to ignore.
Is the access to provide data tagging inputs and outputs or to the model too? Will either the data or the model be open sourced?
There's two problems. One is duplicate votes, which may be an insignificant problem. The second is public perception of the fairness and security of elections. The first is a problem; how big a one I don't know. The second is a problem, and a big one.
That's why you don't hash it, you encrypt it. What they want to do here can be solved using something called channel binding.

The problem is not that we can't do this securely, it's two separate but related problems:

1. The web stack was never designed for RPC and attempts to use it that way are often unsafe.

2. Poor or missing libraries to make common patterns safe. Why was the logging framework happy to log the PIN, well, because the type system didn't know the PIN is sensitive. Why was the PIN even sent in the clear at all, well, because libraries to do this securely aren't well known and the web doesn't help.
IDK. I'm not a fan of insurance companies. They can go away for all I care. OTOH, it seems to me that a risk to Medicare-for-all is that the hospital industry and doctor's groups will lobby and capture the very Medicare payment agency that supposed to be saving all the money. Then we're right back to spending 17% of GDP on healthcare.
Well, personally, I had the "bliss" image from the Windows wallpaper collection in my head while I was writing this. But I'm cognizant that most of the photos of hillsides I took in Ireland had sheep in them.
It's worse than that. The ACA limits the percentage of their premium that can be used for all non-medical costs - including the insurers' profits, yes, but also including administrative costs like paying people to investigate potentially fraudulent claims. If they put resources into (say) catching that one guy who was fradulently billing them for workout advice at inflated rates[1], not only does it shrink the pool of money they're allowed to keep as profit, the cost of the investigation comes out of that pool and eats directly into their profits. The Affordable Care Act effectively penalizes insurers for rooting out false or inflated bills.

> Do you really think none of those sales people might have deliberately mislead businesses about impact of purchasing advertising on reviews? It may or may not have been condoned by Yelp, but it almost certainly happened.

I really don't disagree with this having happened or it being possible that the culture/leadership turns a blind eye to it. My issue is that there is this oft-repeated claim that paying clients' selection, ranking, or content of reviews is somehow different from non-paying ones. It shouldn't be hard to study this claim and yet there is no evidence of it being true.

I've been to Baraka Cafe. It's great. Take a look at their "not currently recommended" reviews. As has been mentioned elsewhere, almost all (8 out of every 10) reviewers have 0 friends on yelp. Active accounts' reviews get preferential visibility.

Perhaps if I start a business and tell all my friends and family to create accounts and review it with 5 stars, I too will have evidence of yelp "altering" reviews when theirs are inevitably hidden for looking suspicious.

As an FYI for HN, many of y'all are probably eligible for $400-800 of Handshake coins (HNS). Handshake is airdropping coins to open-source developers to incentivize them to check out the project. If you have over 15 followers on GitHub you can use this tool to claim coins. This is a no-strings-attached giveaway so if you want to you can also sell your coins but it'd be worth it to bid on your name before you do. You can also reach out to me at tieshun at namebase.io if you have questions about the airdrop or Handshake itself.

Seniors vote in large numbers. A politician with a good plan for giving seniors a better option would have a huge advantage. That nobody had used this tactic to attain high office suggests that better options are hard to come up with.
A person needs to be at least a nurse, veterinarian, or pharmacist to meaningfully double-check a physician's orders. Accountants and actuaries can provide helpful inputs, but they lack both the training and patient familiarity to make those decisions medically that they are currently effecting through the back door, by controlling the payments.

As a society, we trust the government to employ lawyers as circuit judges, appellate judges, and supreme court judges. It would be little difference for it to employ double-check nurses to review diagnoses and treatment plans against published standards and procedures, triple-check physicians to review contested or flagged cases, and quadruple-check physicians to ensure that the patients involved in difficult cases are receiving the best available standard of care, and to establish or modify standards for future cases that may be similar.

A lot of people don't even have enough money to visit a first doctor. And aside from that, families may have enough money to send one member to one doctor, and everyone else with perceived-to-be-lesser medical problems then has to forego treatment altogether. The diabetic gets improved insulin, while the asthmatic has to make do with too-frequent use of rescue inhalers, because the maintenance inhalers are too expensive, and the beesting-allergic person panics every time something flies nearby, because then there's no money left over for epinephrine autoinjectors.

The system does not currently consider whole-family finances as a medical consideration. It attempts to maximize profit on a per-patient basis, ignoring that at some point, that strategy may force a parent to choose which one of their children gets to survive. That's something that not only influences votes, but also creates activists.

The voters might not want the government to do it, specifically, but they are clearly not satisfied with the status quo.

Dash cams are generally not legal in Austria for privacy reasons. This predates GDPR (article from 2013: https://www.oe24.at/oesterreich/politik/Video-Ueberwachung-a...).

I think nowadays dash cams might be allowed if they don't store the video unless an accident has occurred, but someone from Austria has to confirm.
There's a very detailed analysis of Calment showing that it is most likely that the daughter replaced the mother, since the facial features of Jeanne Calment as a middle-aged or elderly woman don't match her earlier photos at all...but are a splitting image of her daughter's facial features.

Also, a lot of her photos feature her wearing clothes that were not in style at the ages she appears to be in the photos--but would have been right for her daughter.

And there's the bit where she keeps calling her putative husband her father...

And finally it's just plain weird that her son-in-law (i.e., her daughter's husband) moved in with her after her daughter's supposed death and lived with her in a common-law relationship for decades. But it makes perfect sense if it was actually just the daughter assuming her mom's identity for tax evasion purposes.

> Was email a mistaken?

No.

> E-mail was supposed to make our work lives easier and more efficient

Email was supposed to allow us to send textual messages, e.g. letters, notices etc., through computer networks and in a computer-viewable, computer-editable format. And it has done that.

> but the mathematics of distributed systems suggests that meetings might be better.

Huh? that makes absolutely no sense. Very little of my email is even theoretically replaceable with a "meeting" (not the least of which - automatic notifications.) As for the rest of my email - if I had to hold 10-20 meetings a day I'd go nuts.

> They became convinced that synchrony was superior and that spreading communication out over time hindered work rather than enabling it.

No they didn't. Author is probably ridiculously over-generalizing some finding on a certain specific setting and a certain irrelevant metric.

> A major implication of research into distributed systems is that, without synchrony, such systems are just too hard for the average programmer to tame.

Yup, just like I thought. Totally irrelevant. How is reading email a programmatic taming of a system? It isn't. and so on, and so fort.

What a trollish article.
I like Google Reviews too and use it more than Yelp. Especially when Yelp forces me to download the app.

But I find it difficult to generate a link directly to Google reviews for a particular place... I can link to the Google maps results, but a review page by itself to read/write reviews would be nice.

It seems as if this person is just discovering old fashioned American anti-intellectualism (unintentionally ironically presented in an intellectual wrapper).

There's a reason beyond laziness that many American's look down on typical urban, liberal arts thought and discussion, and it's close to what this post posits: tribalism and in/out group signalling. The difference is that the author sees being "basic" as a signal that one is wealthy enough not to have to work creatively for a living, and the historical practitioners of anti-intellectualism are signalling a disdain for productionless thought.
> Typically asleep around 5-8AM despite irregular sleep schedule, generally including 4 and 9 AM as well.

At the time this data was taken, yes, I would generally be asleep at around 7-8 AM; usually that either meant I'd get up at 9 AM (if I had things to do) or past 12 PM (if I didn't).

> Frequently staying up to around 2 or 3 AM.

Yes, this is usually when I went to bed. Occasionally this would push towards 6 AM.

> Lunch typically around 12, lull in work after lunch = more time to browse and make comments.

I ate lunch around 1 or 2 PM, since I'd often wake up at about 12 PM.

> Dinner typically at 7. Spike in browsing HN after dinner while full, then focus on work or relax for a couple hours, before starting to drift off and get back to browsing HN around midnight.

Sounds about right.

Could you do it if I didn't add the hour labels?
>It's a fan subreddit, you need to be a supporter.

A fan subreddit might be ok, a subreddit that actively perpetuates violence and extremely large amounts of lies/false information is not ok. It would be ok if The_Donald was just a forum where people hyped up Donald Trump, but a lot of people post large amounts of false information that all the viewers soak up. I think that's really toxic.

"head chewed off with talking points" doesn't sound particularly bad (it even sounds like a form of debate!), certainly better than being banned for life in The_Donald.
> Almost nobody tracks their time to better understand how they are spending it.

It's not something a person needs to do forever (unless they want to), but doing it for a week or 2 can be very informative. It's a lot tracking what someone eats for a week to really understand where all the hidden calories are coming from. People are terrible at looking back any length of time and remembering the details of something.
> Have you seen photos from these countries? Everything is destroyed in some cities and they have lost everything they had Including family members.

Which is why they want to leave, but has nothing to do with the point that there are many other places for them to go.

Because they don't have redistributive social assistance systems based on assumptions about what proportion of the population are net recipients that accepting large amounts of indigent immigration would violate.

A poor and rural country can accept almost arbitrarily large numbers of refugees because they're also a labor force, so you give them jobs building housing and growing food and they support themselves.

That doesn't work in urbanized countries because there isn't any cheap land available and in a lot of places there is already an oversupply of unskilled labor, so in that environment they can't support their own weight and it limits the number you can accept.

To be fair: This role actually has to exist in some form. By definition healthcare will cost resources and so providing all conceivable care will cost infinite resources. You don't have infinite resources, so there will be rationing, your choice is _how_ to ration, not whether.

In the UK for example we have NICE the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, which uses a methodology called Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) to decide what a treatment is "worth". Resources are, as I said, finite, so we need to decide how many blind toddlers regaining their sight is worth one teenager who will otherwise die of brain cancer; how many hip replacements that let a nice little old lady walk to the shops without excruciating pain are worth a new treatment that prevents a newborn baby dying from exposure to the air?

Politicians have to periodically re-learn that meddling with this is not in their interests. The UK had a period recently for example in which politicians overrode NICE to create a cancer fund. Cancer is sad you see, so a pile of money was put aside to buy people cancer drugs. Nothing else, only cancer drugs, because cancer is sad. But, wait, we just got done arguing about how many blind toddlers is worth one dead teenager - well, the cancer fund said the answer is Infinity. If we can save one cancer-struck teenager, with that fund we should, no matter how many toddlers are blind instead because blind toddlers don't get access to that fund. And eventually the voting populace realised this was bullshit and turned on the cancer fund and it went away again.
For better or worse, those same anti-government people do functionally support social programs from which they directly benefit. They may pay lip service to their ideological stance on the subject, but the money is green and they will happily continue to take what they are "entitled" to.

Their major opposition is to social programs they don't benefit from.

Hmm, just a thought, but maybe that is an argument against the hyper-specialization of modern society. It would be nice to choose different things throughout a day/week/year, all productive, and all requiring some skill, but each one being a bit different providing physical or mental exercise of different types. Bending over all day to build something might not be great for humans, but sitting in a chair all day focusing probably isn't either. It would be nice to arrange a productive society that gave people the opportunity to move between the different types of productivity.

When you make software that helps people earn money, you’re competing with driving for Uber and Facebook ads, not just other business services. A less confusing way to make money is actually a huge innovation.
While I haven't implemented anything like this, and have pushed back when I've seen dark patterns like this before, it's not hard to imagine a situation where someone would feel like they have to.

It's a fairly privileged position to be able to just up and quit. Even in the bay area where you can in theory get another job fairly quickly, not everyone has enough savings to bridge a gap, and health insurance I'm sure could play a part. Not even mentioning what I'm sure is the most common reason of all: predatory visa statuses that are tied to an employer. Ie, you quit, you have to leave the country "immediately".

Edit to add: Perhaps this is just another reason why having high skilled visas and work statuses tied to a specific employer is not the right answer.
