From data I've seen? No. 500ms is a pretty short time.

But my point is that there's the consideration that it takes half a second to download 500Mb (roughly a 720p video). So if you have 0.5s uninterrupted that's pretty convenient. I'm also pretty positive that coverage will increase from current conditions (I don't see a reason why it wouldn't). So the speed helps with the spottines. Basically what I'm saying is you don't need as long of a connection to download the same amount. If your spottiness is the same then you get more on 5G. Alternatively since it is 10x the speed, that would be equivalent to 10x spottines (which were not considering a fallback to 4/3G).

I used to believe that equal treatment of opinions online was a massive win, but I’ve come to realise that lack of reputation is one of the greatest challenges we face.

That a Nobel laureate scientist and a redneck can share equal space on a subject is a real problem.

I’m not suggesting anybody be censored, merely that all opinions on a topic are not equal and shouldn’t be treated as such.
Yes, and IMO it really does.
I'm not an expert here, but wasn't the development of "zero" a rather monumental leap that was required before you could advance past Greek math? The spread into the Islamic world certainly enabled them to finally push past the Greeks.
Interesting. I'm doing ML in a niche area so I'm wondering if I can get funding (for my PhD). Obviously there's politics involved, but honestly I just want to try out methods and experiment (typical grad student I guess). So if they have a funding route I'm stoked. Thanks for the info.
I like this idea since it puts a lot of effort onto bad actors and exhausts their resources.
No, it's O(1). Time complexity is about how the execution time grows with the size of the input, not the size of the program. In this case, each of those lambdas is a piece of the program text; the size of the jump table is therefore a constant for any particular program. The time complexity here is the time taken for one jump through the table as a function of the number of jumps, and clearly that's a constant also.

In fact, it would still be a constant if the 'case' were implemented as a chain of 'if's. Time complexity, since it concerns asymptotic growth of runtime as a function of input size, is not the correct notion to invoke here. You're just interested in performance in the ordinary sense: you want your program to run as fast as reasonably possible, and you know that a chain of 'if's leaves something to be desired in that regard.

Fair enough. But let's look at the array-of-closures implementation again. Assuming that the number of jumps made through one of these tables, once you've created it, is much larger than the number of times you have to create a table, it's a perfectly workable implementation.

I think your second point is more substantive. I too have come to the conclusion that coroutines were an unfortunate omission from the CL spec.

Thanks for the good questions!

1. Mostly google maps and social networks

2. At the moment we don't have a "back-office" integration, we have a rudimentary editor that can be manually edited at the back of our "Products & Services" feature and if the user provides their PayPal merchant ID we add "Purchase" and "Subscribe" and "Pay Invoice" buttons wherever it makes sense.

3. We have a number of ideas for that, including specialized business platform integrations, custom domain names, and other features that would be used by businesses that we think should be on a paid plan.

4. We've been working on this for a few months now, we were inspired by the readily available and fresh data and the price (in time and/or $$) to get a decent website created and updated for a small shop people like restaurants, barbers, nannies, garages, etc.

5. Given your business category, location, amount of data available and other signals we try to be smart about what your site should look like and what sections should be where. That stuff has been figured out with A/B testing every day for the past 20 years and humans should move on. That also means we can generate the website in real-time, for the specific business and the individual visitor making the request...

6. Heroku + EC2, mongo atlas for the DB and lots or nodejs and react. letsencrypt for the certs.

7. It means we're able to shape the site depending on the history of the visitor. For example we'll show a menu first to a visitor who is likely hungry.

Use of the term "dark age" is both dramatically inaccurate in many ways [1] and totally elides everything that happened outside of Europe, such as the establishment of algebra as an independent field of mathematical study (AD 800 in Baghdad), the creation of algebraic geometry (AD 1070 in Persia), and the discovery of ways to solve high-order polynomial equations (approximately AD 1200 in India and China).

>if your blog isn't meant to be read by people that don't know the context of your life already

People who have followed me online enough to have my blog in their feedreader or bookmarks, they'll all know why I'm approaching the issue how I do. You seem to blame me for your and others' eagerness to jump into discussions about things I didn't even link on here. Hacker News was never my target audience. That aside, reading the newer comments I can see a lot of people who do actually take a bit more time to see my background and develop a fuller opinion on my blog piece, so evidently I already must have all the information needed to come to an informed conclusion about what I write. Maybe it's just a problem for most people to assume ill-intent out of my writings that aren't even meant to attack anyone.

>why are you responding to such comments and displaying indignation? Why are you here at all?

If someone defames your image, you're telling me you would just shut up about it? You'd just let people keep kicking you in the gut while you're minding your own business? Again, stop excusing your negative actions.

Adding caveats is no way to get people to engage with you. You want to be as concise as possible. Due to the exact same tendency OP is trying to control, it's better to baldly assert something as confidently as possible. Then people can't resist responding and telling you when you're wrong.

Because you expected exactly those responses, it's easy to not get emotionally invested and it's a much more likely way to learn something.

Adding caveats and exceptions directly in the post usually just obfuscates your point and makes it harder for people to understand you. Sure, in a formal publication absolutely recognise the limitations of your argument. But when having an internet discussion, the time for elaborating and explaining limitations is either in an appendix or a follow-up post.

This doesn't apply to exceptions which are material to the main point you're trying to make though. Just things which, if asked "Give me the bottom line," you'd omit.

I was interviewed via email while still homeless. They assumed I was male without asking, then just made up quotes. Because the interview was by email, I have a written record of what I actually said, so I know it was outright fabricated and not some kind of misheard/misunderstood thing.

I sort of understand the misgendering. Most visible street people are male. But the fabricated quote made me feel like "They think they can just do anything they want because I'm so poor." That felt like intentionally shitty behavior.

Deep Dive into Modern Web Development
My question was specifically about drugs that had passed safety and efficacy trials that were derived from the Amazon. Doing 5 minutes if searching and looking at your links it looks like quinine and curare are two of them. There was some mentions of some potential agents, but none that had made it through full clinical trials to be FDA approved. Quinine was first used for malaria treatment over 400 years ago. Two drugs over 400 years doesn’t seem like a lot.

And it doesn’t seem that it will get higher. My impression of modern pharmaceutical research is that instead of focusing on natural medicinal compounds, it is more focused on discovering the exact mechanisms behind various disease processes and synthesizing molecules that either slow down or speed up key pathways along those processes.

Ask HN: How much equity do seed stage startups give?
I'm an engineer with a few years experience. I am interviewing with a few seed stage startups and one series A company. I'm wondering what kind of equity I should be targeting / negotiating for / expecting.

I found this guide (https://www.holloway.com/g/equity-compensation/sections/typical-employee-equity-levels) that says at Series-A startups, senior engineers are at 0.33% - 0.66% equity, and junior engineers at 0.2% to 0.33%. Is this still the range one should expect? Any experience here would be welcome.

What about seed stage companies? Is that more case-by-case? If they just came out of YC, is there a YC standard for equity that many YC startups follow?
When you read news from something that you personally have been involved in, you will notice journalists simplify and often get things a bit confused.

Like, when a journalist quotes you in print, it is often not a real direct quote, but rather the journalists interpretation of what you said (which can be way off). Always insist to "check quotes" or you could get a surprise when you read your interview.
Even an answer of the form "here's a set from a quick DDG" is more productive, and might even teach the commenter something, as it provides a fixed (even if incorrect) basis for discussion.

Given the option between not commenting at all or offering some variant of JFGI, I'll strongly prefer the former. "You don't have to attend every fight you're invited to", or comment on every post. But if you do, try to land solid punches. Even if you're not Mohammed Ali.

Probably a misconfiguration involving X-Forwarded-For. The frontend sticks the IP in there, you set your backend to trust X-Forwarded-For headers from, say, 10.0.0.0/8, but somehow your frontend and backend end up on the machine and the connection comes from 127.0.0.1 and fails the check for a connection from 10.0.0.0/8. So you distrust X-Forwarded-For and just log the IP address that the TCP connection came from, which was 127.0.0.1.

I have never been able to make sense of all the rules around X-Forwarded-For and neither have the various library implementers. I recently wrote an authentication plugin for Envoy that just extracts what Envoy thinks the remote address is, and puts it in the authentication header that goes to the backend. Then the backends can't get it wrong; if the signature on the message is right, you're getting the IP address that the frontend Envoy got. If something is misconfigured, the header probably won't have a valid signature, and so the request will be rejected outright. Less failsafe than what Wikipedia did... but easier to detect.
That doesn't actually fit with my experience of online discussions.

To me that's one of the icky aspects of this. He's parked on the very nice `standard/standard` repo, with a project named "JavaScript Standard Style," emblazoned on the iconic JavaScript yellow... If you take the time to read the readme it does say clearly about halfway down that the project isn't really a standard at all, just one guy's idea of a helpful linter configuration. But if you don't scroll down past all the company logos, it would be pretty easy to get the wrong idea.

I'm not saying that a lot of work didn't go into it, or that the repo name alone is a slam dunk for tricking tons of people. It's not like domain squatting - this is a real project. But I do wonder if a fork would be able to compete on equal footing without the advantage of the name. We like to think that the availability of at least the possibility of forking provides a sort of guarantee that projects which make enough bad decisions will always be leapfrogged by competitors and great software will rise to the top. I guess I'm not surprised that it's raising eyebrows that this maintainer at least seems to be deliberately pressing a marketing advantage which is just inaccessible to potential forks.

I'm not sure what to suggest as the solution to the underlying problem of coveted or potentially confusing package names. Namespacing library names under user/project names was supposed to be the solution to this! Just repeating the same word twice is a clever way around it. Maybe npm should step in and eliminate this loophole.

China tends to buy light crude instead of light sweet crude, hence the oil and derived fuels have more sulfur than is typical for European or American vehicles, industry, etc.

Wrong on Algebra’s origin. Often people will say Persia but it was in Ancient Greece and Baghdad. And the latter is not Persia and was certainly not under Persian occupation during the time of Alkhawarizmi (who is also credited for the invention of the algorithm or at least it was named after him.) The original title of his book that coined the term Algebra is Al Jabr wal Muqabala (casting and equation)

Just Google it:

The difference between this and an unmaintained salt water aquarium is that the aquarium isn't a closed system. Whatever gases are created by the life in the aquarium being mixed with fresh air and eventually diffusing into the surrounding environment. I'm no expert on the subject but I would imaging this makes a huge difference compared to a completely closed system.
I bought one of those small "EchoSphere" water globes[1] back in 2002. It originally had 3-4 little shrimp and algae. within a few months, all but one of the shrimps were gone. But now, nearly 17 years later, the one remaining shrimp is still going strong. Amazing!

> I'd not done this until just now, and frankly, it appears that last year's smoke activity was actually greater

Someone linked to a NASA page a few days ago that said the same thing.

"As of August 16, 2019, satellite observations indicated that total fire activity in the Amazon basin was slightly below average in comparison to the past 15 years".

http://web.archive.org/web/20190820090023/https://earthobser...

Since the news story broke they have updated it, saying it was updated to clarify sources yet they substantially changed what they have said:

"Editor’s Note: This story was updated on 22 August 2019 to clarify our data source."

The live page now reads:

"As of August 16, 2019, an analysis of NASA satellite data indicated that total fire activity across the Amazon basin this year has been close to the average in comparison to the past 15 years. "

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/145464/fires-in-bra...

I would have been a lot more honest to say "we incorrectly stated that fires were below average and have updated our position".
> two modules will tend to grow ever more dependent on each other unless separated by hard ('physical') boundaries

This is especially true in monorepos. Code resuse has it's benefits, but left unchecked the dependency graph can turn into a huge highly-connected glob. Modules end up accidentally importing code they have no business importing because of sneaky transitive dependencies. The blast radius of even small simple changes becomes enormous, and testing/debugging becomes more and more complex.

A great way to keep this in check is to have apply code isolation in the test environment. When you checkout the entire repo for a build or test, its easy for these kinds of dependencies to grow unnoticed. But if you require build/test targets to explicitly declare what code they depend on (and only make that code present when running them), changes to the dependency structure must be explicitly acknowledged in code review. This is one of the core principles behind build tools like Bazel.
> I too have come to the conclusion that coroutines were an unfortunate omission from the CL spec.

There was no consensus on multiprocessing at the time of standardization and language support was very uncommon.

But still it’s weird: coroutines were over 20 years old by then, and newer ideas like the condition system and CLOS were included. And while nowadays the CL runtime is considered small, at the time it was criticized for being too large.
Absolutely, I even mentioned some cases where I felt they were used to great effect. Having said that, though, in my experience, they do cause an “just build it with macros” attitude. For example, the issues I mentioned with core.async will likely never get fixed as doing so would require compiler/runtime support which is highly unlikely to happen.
