The New Deal allowed labor to capture the majority of surplus value created by the rapid wartime industrialization of America. We would not have our modern understanding of a middle class lifestyle had it not been for New Deal policy and the blood of organized labor shortly before and during wartime.
This submission might interest the HN community, but probably not as currently written. Instead you should post it as a Show HN and have a page that gives a lot more technical information. You should also add an initial comment to the thread giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it. That tends to seed discussion in a good direction.
The thing is, the USA has subsidized everyone elses health care systems. All major health care innovations were invented here. So when your drug prices are cheap, its because your country has access to free USA drug innovation. What created modern health care (free market privatized drug companies and equipment manufacturers), also causes health care to be a broken system. Theres two sides to this coin

Flat Earthers look for ways to confirm what they believe.

My favorite demonstration goes like this. Get into a plane. Sight down the spine of a magazine at the horizon then look at it. You'll see that it is tilted a few degrees. Do the same out the other window. It is tilted a few degrees the other way.

Can we work out by how much it should tilt? Why yes! If the Earth is a ball, then you, the horizon, and the center of the Earth make a right angle triangle with the right angle at the horizon, one leg being the distance from you to the horizon, the other being from the center of the Earth to the horizon, and the hypotenuse is the distance from the center of the Earth to the ground below plus your height. Furthermore if you draw the picture, the triangle from you to the horizon to a vertical line up from the horizon to horizontal back to you is a similar triangle to the first, so the angle that the horizon is below horizontal is the same as the angle at the center of the Earth of this triangle.

The distance from the center of the Earth to the ground is approximately 3950 miles. Your plane is usually 6 to 7 miles off the ground, let's say 7. By Pythagorus that puts the horizon at sqrt(3956^2 - 3950^2) which is roughly 235 miles away. Apply basic trigonometry, and it should be about 3.4 degrees below horizontal.

I've done this. You've seen that the calculation is easy. The measurement is easy. Running in circles to avoid this conclusion is a sign that you aren't interested in knowing the real answer.

Well, it is always hard to strike rich using something that was already exploited for decades. People who got rich trading real estate used to do it back when it was risky. Now people are becoming rich by doing other risky things, e.g. cryptocurrencies. Of course, there are many ways to fail, but there were never a risk-free way of becoming rich on one's own.
I was specifically addressing the "sell your data to anyone who asks" part. Keeping it is one thing, suggesting they sell it to anyone who asks is another. My guess is, no - they don't do that.

Even if they reused the parts, the less wasteful phone is the one you already have.

I am not trying to be overly moralistic though .. just trying to understand if there is any value people see in getting a new phone each year outside of social/new and shiny.

It made a lot of sense 8 or 10 years ago where each year there was a big leap. But nowadays, even for e.g. camera, the improvements are very incremental at best (when they are not mostly algorithmic so backportable) .
I adamantly agree.

Unrelated. I don't know what all mtier provided, but chromium port updates are not backported to -stable. A quick check indicates they did not provide this.

Also note that mtier announced they will no longer be providing -stable packages of their own.

https://twitter.com/mtierltd/status/1161639634587279360

If you want the latest chromium, you need to run -current snapshots. Packages are available. Chrome is enormous dwarfing the OpenBSD kernel and base system combined and is under constant development, it's a challenge to keep updated on -current, let alone attempting newer versions on -stable.
While I completely empathize with you, that can be tricky in a fully distributed document store and to be fair, counting records in dynamodb is also a PITA.

Zuckerberg would argue that even if shirt term the value if the stock is lower, his judgement abilities are superior to that of the shareholders, and that it is better for the shareholders if he maintains control. He is also a shareholder after all, and he's doing what he believes will optimize the value of the shares since that is what he's encouraged to do. And who cares if it's in the best interest of shareholders? Shareholders know what they bought. They bought a share of the earnings generated by a company fully controlled by Zuckerberg. If they bought it, then they are fine with these terms. And zuck is clearly happy with things the way they are. If shareholders dont think zuck is maximizing their value, they dont have to own his shares, and if people cared and sold, that would incentivize zuck to change things.
All but useless for agri/bio/medtech and optics/physics/chem. I've gotten nothing but spammers and black-holes. LI has a nasty habit of not taking job openings offline when they are closed. So even though the job search returns results, the companies/firms aren't hiring anymore and haven't for months to years. As such, even for lead generation of companies to contact it's useless as the firm may not even exist anymore and you just send emails into void. The few times you do get a job that is 'live', it's usually just a spammer from India or the Philippines (4/5 times) that then sells your data onwards and you get a burst of spam calls for about 3 months afterwards.

Avoid at all costs.
If they're attacking you from an internal vector they likely already have code execution within that internal context, making this bug largely redundant. The more common case is gaining entry to a poorly secured edge or cloud server, rather than a bad actor sitting on your LAN.

But sure, I suppose, that niche edge case (local context without local code execution) could hypothetically exist somewhere, but patching this won't make you secure.
I think the rate of which we are warming is debatable.

Modeling climate change is very very difficult, and we've had many wrong predictions. Which is probably why so many people are skeptical.
I looked into flat earthers are little on the internet because it just seemed like such an out there idea that I wanted to see how they justified it.

A lot of it seems to be based on them misunderstanding refraction and the way light behaves over distances. Their main argument seems to be that if you take water and put flags or boats over it, you can continue to see it for long after the curvature of the earth makes it so you shouldn't be able to see it.

The reason for this is that light bends.

My bad I meant to talk about the fact that there is no universal reference frame, so in your frame you would believe you aren't moving, but the black hole is moving towards you. In in a scenario where you are traveling at .99c, from your frame of reference you are not traveling at all and the black hole is traveling to you, so you see the black hole experiencing incredibly slow time passage. However, that is not what the black hole sees. Hence a paradox.
it's time to factor in guaranteed exposure of data when considering pros/cons of consuming any online service.

questions i've been asking myself lately:

- how embarrassing or worse would an HN data breach (plug in favorite $social_network) be to me when logs are exposed that link my activity in a way that can trivially deanonymize me? how much does this reduce the value of consuming the service in the first place?

- how embarrassing or worse would a data breach at Uber/Lyft/other ride sharing be for me? consider exposure of geolocation + timestamps. how much does this reduce the value of consuming the service in the first place?

- repeat for things like online dating or whatever else

these additional questions have helped me put risk vs. reward into perspective when consuming services, no matter where they live or how useful they seem prima facie.

A better option would be to start publishing content to another platform enmasse. Not only could they hold out longer, it would strike right at the heart of YouTube's main advantage, which is to be the defacto video platform.
I feel like there is a line to be drawn somewhere around the points where you start referring to yourself as a "YouTuber" and where other people regularly describe you as one.

More broadly, this same line may exist for any site/company somewhere around the point where whatever awkward construction for "person who regularly posts on site X" or "person who regularly does gig work for company X" starts getting applied to you a lot.

I have no idea how to even begin to define this in legal terms. :)

If you believe the science, being opposed to GMOs is being in favor of mass starvation.

See https://allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2018/06/unfairly... for some of that information. Also note that separate lines of research show that higher CO2 results in crops growing faster, but having fewer nutrients. And therefore GMOs are our best hope of having not just enough food, but food that compensates for CO2 increases.
I'm not sure I understand how the author compares the quality in the preprint.

In the chart, it says to compare "perceptual quality", but the axis is only marked with "blurry" and "less blurry". Sharpness is not the only thing about the (perceptual or not) quality. I can tell that Anime4K's result is indeed very sharp, but the quality of the edges/lines are very unnatural even for the examples author provided. I personally would prefer a slightly blurry lines with less "oily effect".

Also, I didn't see any comparison with ground truth, i.e. having a high-resolution image first, resize it down, use the proposed algorithms (among existing ones) to upscale it back, and then compare the upscaled results with the original image. I understand it may be hard to find enough examples of 4k animes, but we can do so with 1080p -> 480p -> 1080p etc.

(I am not familiar with this domain, do similar researches normally do this or not in their analysis?)

Rich -- by it's nature -- is relative / subjective.

> YouTube does not employ creators; creators are utilizing YouTube's free service in order to broadcast their own content.

Youtube doesn't create content. They utilize content provided to google for free by creators to drive traffic to their website. Google monetizes videos in order to be more appealing to content creators. The problem these creators have is that advertisers, corporations, competitors, and copyright trolls are easily able to game google's automated systems to get channels demonetized and content censored. It doesn't matter to youtube if a channel is demonetized because it still drives traffic to their website, it still provides google with a trove of user data (both from the person visiting youtube and the content creator's own content and usage of the site) and they will happily autoplay/suggest videos full of ads to get visitors away from the demonetized channels.

aggressive demonetization/censoring is far less expensive for google than properly moderating content, and it lets them show they are "doing something" which keeps advertisers happy and the copyright cartels at bay.
I agree, that honorific was strongly prejudiced against women.
The housing bubble part of this as yet another way that the economy is failing... well for everyone that isn't wealthy is probably a far larger and more nuanced part of the problem than the article realizes.

It was at least true when I was a kid that the 'American Dream' included owning your own home and trying to build up wealth that way. However, as an American 'teen' I found getting a job in the suburbs pretty much impossible: I didn't have a car and I had no reliable / safe way to get outside of the small local malls which already had hundreds of other students competing for work.

It might have also been that most of the less complex, safe to hand off to any random teen/adult, jobs had already been outsourced or made obsolete.

-

Today housing prices in the middle of nowhere, where there aren't jobs, are somewhat reasonable... Trying to get a place that is your own near jobs? There seem to be far too few places relative to the number of jobs; thus competition fails to reward places that are planned and built well and favors sellers that use every loophole and cut every corner they're not legally required to fulfill.
It's too bad that Twitter itself doesn't make this into a real abstraction. I'd love to treat my feed as mixed activity from a set of isolated communities, where one community can retweet something from another community into their own community, but where this retweet acts as its own object that doesn't inform anyone from the origin community about the activity on it in the destination community. Sort of like Slack, if there were teams but no channels, only threads, and your view was a unified all-threads-in-all-teams activity stream.
