public: Yeah, we have record low unemployment and rising wages.

Also public: Oh no, employers paying the lowest wages are having trouble retaining workers due to their workers having better options! This is because workers have no agency! Proof that employers are being abusive!

* * *

Really, this is all good news. A tight labor market makes labor more expensive. This makes labor more scarce for employers, which creates things like labor shortages and high turnover, forcing employers to use robots that help take orders and more automation to increase labor productivity.

It's a good thing. It allows higher living standards and wages by increasing the capital/labor ratio so that each worker can produce more per hour.

But businesses often need to be forced into it by tight labor markets, so productivity is often pro-cyclic: tight labor demand creates more productivity and rising wages.

That someone would whine about rising wages and labor scarcity and strain a mental muscle or two as they try to cast this as some form of worker oppression is pretty shocking.
Ah there is a short comparison in "related work":

The problems of having high relative errors on the larger quantiles has been addressed by a line of work that still uses rank error, but promises lower rank error on the quantiles further away from the median by biasing the data it keeps towards the higher (and lower) quantiles [7], [8], [17]. The latter, dubbed t-digest, is notable as it is one of the quantile sketch implementations used by Elasticsearch [18]. These sketches have much better accuracy (in rank)
than uniform-rank-error sketches on percentiles like the p99.9, but they still have high relative error on heavy-tailed data sets. Like GK they are only one-way mergeable.

Indeed but only after the consumer has been shafted. If only the reputational damage passed transparently to the actual owners and people started to say “I’m never buying anything owned by XYX Private Equity Firm”
Interesting! Good point. I'll look into it.
You should look in to “observability”. google it. There some great open source projects Jaeger, Prometheus, OpenCensus etc that allow you to gather and visualize metrics, traces etc for your app.

That's like saying "all we need is some honest and wise politicians and some smart non-corrupt government officials". Excellent idea, too bad nobody figured out how to get some and have them stay that way. Until we find a magic way to do it, we should assume the way it is now is the one we'd have to deal with, and deal with it in ways that are available presently, not imaginary.

I rented a 2018 Toyota Prius recently. Wonderful car, but the software was horrible, as it usually is.

The worst problem was that when I turned the car on, it would start loudly playing random music from my iPhone via Bluetooth. Every single time, without fault. Sometimes it would just happen randomly while driving, too. There's no setting to turn it off. If you google the problem, you'll a bunch of forums like priuschat.com, full of exasperated people who are trying to figure out the problem and failing.

There's no real solution. There is a workaround, and it's hilarious: Create a playlist containing just a single track that contains a few hours of silence. Can't stop it from being played, but at least it will be quiet.

I love CarPlay, and wish every car had it.

I disagree. 2FA makes it profoundly more difficult to compromise an account. Most people are using a phone as a second factor, so even if the apps don't store files and credentials directly on the device (always in doubt, as seen here), if you have root on a phone you can compromise an account without any user interaction.

What's more, every time you download a banking app on your phone, you have to place a little bit of trust in the competence of whoever the bank outsourced the programming job to. At least with a laptop, a poorly designed website site is not (by itself) a threat to everything on your computer or other sites you visit.

Even when it comes to "more 0-days", I think you're probably missing the point. There's a lot more software written for computers that can be compromised than just the handful of programs that comprise iOS, so the raw count is not very meaningful. More practically, I'm willing to bet the odds my (Linux) laptop is compromised are far lower than my phone. I don't install apps I don't trust on my computer, but I have little choice but to on my phone.
If there's an app that can cause damage to my phone, that is Apple's problem for having an exploit in their sandbox and I would certainly expect them to repair the damage
Think from a positive angle, students today are learning useful life skills to game computer systems, which they will have to deal with when they grow up.

That's fair, but it was written by Ben Pierce of the FP research community. It's nice not to have two projects named the same thing within the same community.
It's hnprofile extended to incorporate other sources, right? Looks nice, though the sentiment analysis is a bit rough. Does it take interactions / replies / upvotes into account to find out who is an expert, or is it primarily how much you talk about a specific topic?

A nice add-on might be (visualized) grouping both by "A talks to B" and "A and B say similar stuff (recommending X over Y)".

Talking about the cesspool of Brave employee lurking here, this discussion might be interesting when you guys start identifying as such.

It didn’t go unnoticed that you guys are all over the place attacking Firefox and Mozilla !!! on privacy. Really? Clearly you think this is your entry point for some reason.

Brave is a corporation. For profit. It can’t and shouldn’t be trusted. Especially not a company run by a disgraced ex Mozilla employee accused of homophobia and racism.

No thanks. Lesson was learned with like trillion other for profit corporations offering to save the world and then using the first opportunity to betray their customers (customers, not users) when investors or stock holders demand that.

You’re not fooling anyone.

Just to make a point Mozilla’s data collection for its own operations is understood. If it’s unwanted Mozilla can be pressured to change the defaults. This is because it’s a non for profit working for users, not for share holders.
False accusations can actually be the result of prior abuse. They may substitute one person for another. Or do things as a result of mental illness caused by abuse. Kids think differently to adults and may behave inexplicably. And unfortunately that means that an abused child is a terrible witness.

DRD-Net: Detail-Recovery Image Deraining via Context Aggregation Networks
As a full time Perl developer at different times over that last 20 years (and the rest of the time a sysadmin with heavy Perl use), it's not that bad anymore. A lot of very poor quality Perl was common in the late 90's and early 2000's, but for the same reason a lot of very poor quality PHP code was around from the early 2000's to early 2010's, which is to say because a lot of novice programmers (or at least novice's to Perl) were writing it, and those novices also happened to to get a lot of code into production. In Perl's case it's because the dot com boom really elevated teh quick and dirty cgi script and Perl was the main language available for that.

These days, people that aren't novices tend program much more clearly in my experience, and there's style guidelines and code linters to take up the slack. It's not like other languages never have to deal with people writing odd or unintelligible code either, there's a reason why style standards are a big thing in many places. Here's an example of a module I use that I just looked up. It's fairly terse in parts (but it's a module, so I hold it to a different standard than my own code), but I would expect anyone familiar with perl would have zero trouble determining what's going on in here, and a lot of code bases will be a little more verbose or use more white space to error on the side of caution and help people process what they are seeing easier.[1]

This year I've been getting three types of spam calls (in Australia):

1. Spam call from new 03 8xxx xxxx range, I was sure these were VoIP numbers handed out by MyNetFone but haven't been able to prove anything. I can't remember what the content of the call was

2. International spam call from Mozambique (?). The call never connects if I pick up.

3. Private number, recorded voice in Mandarin. I think this is a tax scam.

I'm sure I'd seen some changes in the laws regarding caller ID this year, but I can't find it.

Yes, it's much, much worse in America.
Putting weed and hard psychedelics in the same category is silly imo.

Ask HN: Would you use our tool?
Hello, my friend and I have been building a visual builder for AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. Think Webflow for AWS. We would like to know whether you'd be interested in such a service? Take a look at our landing page - https://www.codelines.dev

With our tool, you'd be able to connect different resources (e.g.: database, cloud functions, storage) on a graphical canvas. Then configure each resource to behave in some predefined way. For example, cloud function can expose its HTTPS endpoint, crop uploaded image and then save it into the storage for the given user.

The way we came to this idea was that we have been creating different projects for the last ~2 months. We noticed that every time we were building almost identical backend solutions with Google Cloud platform. And we were spending literally days building these solutions.
There is literally a war named after the Hilux because it was such a combination of cheap and super reliable despite the terrible conditions that it’s what all the local warlords used. There is a top gear episode where they roll over one with a monster truck several times and it refuses to stop working. Toyota doesn’t need any lessons from us manufacturers about reliability.
There is currently no causal link between pot and schizophrenia.

I'm sorry your brother developed it, but there's no saying that it was caused by weed
Microsoft is also good in building features that don't work or are unusable in any normal use case. Like Knockout support in Visual Studio: I have never seen it working. I believe SQL Server also has a few features that were until the current versions not really usable.

Customers will prefer Apple-branded parts even if the third party parts are equally high quality. That's the ordinary value of branding -- the well known brand can command a premium for the same quality merchandise.

The issue here is that they aren't just charging the normal brand premium for the part, they're also tacking on the same premium again to account for the value of the repair service itself (even though the third party is providing that), and then a little more so that a third party repair service that wants to use Apple-branded parts would have to charge higher prices than Apple's own repair service in order to turn a profit.

The intent of the pricing isn't to maximize profits from sales to third party repair shops, it's to make them uncompetitive and push those customers to Apple's own repair services instead. It's basically a way of claiming they're making parts officially available while in practice not doing so, because they're only available at uncompetitive prices.
Ask HN: How to revive stuck project development?
.. then please do elaborate/explain away.... FFS your comment is not at all helpful.
You're right that from a defense standpoint, sandboxed OSes like Android and iOS are "better" than your average laptop. Granted. The point I (and probably your parent comment) were originally trying to make is that the amount of data stored on a phone makes it a very good target for vulnerabilities like these. None of my banking, chat, email, etc information is stored on my laptop because I access these things through the browser. That's not to say that this provides perfect security, of course, but it means someone can't come in with a zero-day that gets root on my system and just one-off uploads all my databases.

Apps that keep all this data locally, as is common on phones, are dangerous. Add the fact that most people have a phone as their two factor and you have a really bad situation when a phone is compromised. This, alone, makes phones an attractive target.
You could replicate that with an eyeball mounted on gimbals.
Because a lot of manufacturers put control of the car's settings in the stock head unit. You'd have to swap it out if you want to change a particular setting.

What I'd be willing to compromise on is an external screen that will handle CarPlay or Android Auto. I can't seem to find one out there.

While all code shouldn't be rewritten in the "next-best-thing," there might be merit in rewriting some bug-prone code that expands the security vulnerability surface area. The borrowchecker and other safety mechanisms can help new and potentially unsecure code be just a little bit safer without significant external vetting.
Why not just use CarPlay on your phone with the phone holder? Is it not exactly the same as a car with built in CarPlay? Atleast on android auto I noticed no difference between the App on my phone and connecting my phone to my car's Android Auto.

I've noted the local stores I go to with self checkout have disabled the weight sensors. I think they've decided the slowdown and annoyance isn't worth the reduction in shrinkage. Also possible the reduction is nil.
Except you didn't buy a truck, you bought a tall unibody car with a bed. It has vastly less utility than a frame based truck/suv. If you are happy that's great and ultimately that is all that matters, but to compare ridgeline to silverado or f-150 is just plain wrong, apples and oranges.
I was abused as a child (not sexually however) and I can attest to this. Many of my memories are highly charged and don't really hold up - they're very confused. Some of the scariest stuff that happened to me I don't even remember, and my siblings have had to let me in on it (and they were even younger at the time).

As a child you're really not prepared for the concept that your parents are treating you badly. So that realization doesn't come until much later.

I’ve only had to deal with one hurricane personally (Irma), and the forecast cone was only useful as an indicator to pay attention to the other, more detailed forecasts. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a relic from when weather forecasting models were much more primitive and graphics had to be reducible to B+W for printing.
They would be screwed if google decided to actively cut off downstream chromium projects by making breaking code changes, licensing changes, etc.
Thanks for all the feedback!

1. Hmm, perhaps we could change the game model? Instead of solving as many as you can in three minutes, we could (1) have a set time per problem, and a fixed number of problems or (2) have some system to add back time for correct answers.

2. This is on our todo list!

3. Yes, see my comment from above -- we're thinking of simple ways to accept slight variations. A way to contest variations might is a good idea.

4. How do you propose we do this?

5. So right now, a problem is worth ceiling(length of our solution / 10.0) points. This seemed like a good way to reward harder questions proportional to the time spent solving them. Any other suggestions?
On their diagram 40m = 500kW, 80m = 2500kW. So the doubling of diameter is five-fold increase in power. That’s even more than squared.

I can see how giving students multiple tries would be a great teaching aid if we had human-level AI. With what we have now, I'd bet it's just training them to produce essays that hit the flaws in the AI as hard as possible to produce unreadable garbage with high scores. 20 tries per essay adds up to a lot across 12 years of schooling.

Teachers are extremely overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated. I'm not surprised that it was easy to convince them to offload the difficult and time-consuming work of manually grading essays. This also means they don't have to deal with complaints about unfair grading. A machine did it and it's out of their hands.

Yes, we’re working on redoing some of the UI, and we added in Reddit here (under the hood we track Twitter, comments on forums and the such, but don’t display those users). Primary goal is a search engine for companies, so we’re cleaning it up.

We have an updated NLP model, but haven’t used on this deployment.

It doesn’t use upvotes, it does use author and recipients. Itll also check to make sure a given user uses similar words to other experts (I.e. I talk about mufflers and wheels when I talk about cars).

Like the idea about the visualization. Idk exactly how to do that yet, but I’ll add to my backlog.

Some other features you don’t see:

- we now identify HN, Reddit, Twitter users who are probabilistically the same and merge their profiles

- Added satisfaction and influence, both of which differ from the post-to-post NLP. More data makes it way more accurate

- Can click “monitor” users and create a news feed

- Show best time to see said user (in a corporate setting this is best time to contact)
Yes, reading this article I also remembered having no problem as a kid who grew up next to the beach. As an adult many times removed from that life, I now need goggles when I go swimming. It's a shame the body loses that adaption so easily.

The median donation to Wiki is, of course, $0. By giving anything users would be giving infinitely more than the regular user.

It'd be quite interesting to know what your aggregate CPM is. One way you could probably determine brave users is by contrasting raw user agents against your analytics data. The discrepancy there is going to be some mixture of Brave and those running other things that also block analytics like uBlock. But it should at least you give you a very rough ballpark CPM that's probably going to be much more reliable than e.g. a survey.

One other important figure that Brave could probably roughly answer (but also probably won't) would be what percent of Brave users opt in ads.

Paris’ Problem with the Dead
I'm sorry your initial search for a term didn't immediately give you what you're looking for, but the database layer of Perl is very mature, and if you looked at the docs for DBI, you would see that it uses drivers in the DBD namespace, and if you search DBD, postgres is in the first few results, under DBD::Pg. Just like NPM, having a word in your module namespace or description is probably not always very well correlated to module quality or whether it's actually related to that term, so a bit of active research is best to determine what should be used. Then again, I'm not sure NPM is known for providing mobile namespaces that allow third party modules to interact well in a pluggable way, which is quite common on CPAN.
That mode is not available with CarPlay, it is also deprecated on Android Auto (for a voice control setup, I believe).
