"Research shows that websites with video lead to higher engagement and sales."

That "Research shows" link is pretty thin on actual research. Anybody have any links to something more substantial than a questionable A/B test run by a single company?
So very true. Said in the right tone, "I don't care" can mean -many- things. Emotional intelligence is acquired (or not). 'Bit rate' means nada.

As well, the 'amount of information' conveyed depends on the environment, and the preparation of the speaker and the listener. Some speakers (not to mention any names) spew a lot of BS ( not information) to sort through.

I'd argue that, in a medical environment, the word 'sponge' conveys less information than the word 'ebola'.

For the prepared, the cascade of necessary reactions in the brain can take little or much time to process. Some authors/speakers (authoritative) can pack -a lot to think about- in a few words. Like 'Where is everybody?'
I've generally had the same experiences as a CS undergrad and grad student. While sometimes CS textbook prices are high, the books I was assigned tend to be useful long after I complete the class the book was assigned. For example, I still refer to my copy of CLRS from the undergraduate algorithms course I took nearly 12 years ago; that $80 purchase was one of my best investments, especially considering the LeetCode-style interviews that so many companies tend to give these days.

Unfortunately it was my math and science courses where expensive textbooks and access codes reared their ugly heads. I took a combined differential equations and linear algebra course that used a full-priced textbook that was specifically printed for my university, meaning that when it was time to resell it, the usefulness of that textbook was restricted to students of my university instead of nationwide or perhaps worldwide. The worst was the first quarter of physics. I had to use an awful online homework platform called Mastering Physics. I hated it with a passion, and ended up getting a very low (but passing) grade the first time I took the course. I ended up retaking the course with a retired professor who didn't use Mastering Physics; he preferred handwritten homework submissions.

Took a look at your landing page - some immediate feedback - first thing I see is a popup with a video with the title 'the problems with social media'.

I don't think that's the best way to frame what you're trying to do. Don't tell me what it's not or about all the problems with current social media platforms (I already know), just get straight to what your platform does differently. I can then decide for myself if that's better or if I'd prefer it to what's already out there.

This is a major problem and one of the artifacts of the reg not having been updated since 1997. The industry expectation for the validation process is for it to take four to six months, and it's specific to one version. We have 99.99% of our software requirements specification testing covered by several thousand automated tests that run in several minutes. Nonetheless, auditors have been wary of frequent updates, even though by their own admission our test strategy is far superior to any manual testing strategy and, critically, is the only realistic way to monitor for regressions specific to our usage of software that the vendor might not catch.

I think Norvig reveals the difference in his opening paragraph. He jumps straight to constraint propagation.

He builds a data type that encodes the constraint space. Any value this cell contains can not be present in these other 20 cells, so let's build upon that.

And then he builds the process of elimination structure that so many sudoku puzzlers used that it started showing up in many of the implementations.

Yeah, I was going to say that - the difference between the rigorous research in aviation/medicine and most software projects can be measured in dead bodies.

There's plenty of software that really matters though, in the same way that using checklists and things makes sense in environments where you won't kill people. We could all learn something if someone researched using, for example, an Agile methodology for building the F-35's flight control software, for example!

Edit: Thinking about this some more, I suppose my point is how to measure this:

> a company that was really rigorous and disciplined and as a consequence a bit slower might well be out-competed by a company that's run in a bit more 'fast and loose' way

while correcting for other factors like marketing etc. You can measure how quickly a group of people will get off an aircraft and vary things like the dimensions of the exit row to test whether your change has improved things but you can't, e.g., re-run a project with TDD and test whether it was "better" (defining "better" in the first place is hard enough!)

> Whether open source or proprietary, any responsible creator must protect their work.

What does that even mean in this context? It seems to just be there to have the subtext "So don't blame us for not being open source, we would be doing something like this even if we were!"

Which isn't entirely true. If the code were released under an open source license, someone else could copy it so long as they respected the license. So you wouldn't be suing someone for copying your code; you might for violating your license. Hard to say if the alleged infringer would have been happy to copy the code with an open source license, who knows.

Not saying it's "okay" to copy proprietary code (for varying definitions of okay), just challenging the implication that "this has nothing to do with it being open source or not" -- it surely does. And I can't see any point of that otherwise nonsequitor statement except that implication.
EC2's most dangerous feature (2016)
Last night I stayed at a hotel with horrible blue lights. The hallways were too bright and too blue. The parking lot was lit up with “daylight” blue-white LEDs. It looked like someone decided the lot wasn’t bright enough, and they added supplemental LED floodlights (not even compliant with state law, let alone city code) to the poles to fill the lots with extra light.

The free standing lights in the room had proper shades and pleasant 2700K “warm” CFL bulbs. The ceiling light at the door was blue, the bar light above the bathroom mirror was blue, and the light over the toilet was blue.

The hanging lights in the lobby were fine, but the spotlights in the ceiling were obnoxious.

I wonder if the hotel got ripped off by a fly-by-night energy efficient retrofitter.

Science has determined precisely how blue lights hurt people. It’s too bad the country replaced safe light bulbs with fundamentally defective bulbs prematurely.

I’d like the legislatures to protect the public from blue-white LEDs.
> I've come to appreciate either...

So basically either naked greed or blue-sky-burn-rate ?

I think there's room for balanced consideration. Sometimes, yeah, revenue and time-to-market is everything. Sometimes there's a need for taking a risk and creating something new.

Some of the more sustainable long haul truck routes are likely going to go electric.

Hydrogen fuel cells likely won't be cost effective for cars, but may disrupt diesel in long haul ships and may be competitive against fast charging for the wilder long haul trucking routes.
Of course your real identity is probably involved somewhere. It's just that I, and many others like me, don't think a third party should know what my real identity is. It's not their business.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel now, 2.5 years in? If you knew in November 2016 what you know now, would you still have voted for him? Do you plan to vote for him in 2020? Not trying to troll or start a political flamewar here, I'm genuinely interested, especially as it's pretty rare that a HNer will "admit" to being a Trump voter.

The thing that always gets me is that even though Trump presented himself as this tear-down-the-establishment, drain-the-swamp kind of guy, it always seemed pretty likely that he'd just replace the political establishment with people in the business/finance establishment, which is essentially the same thing to many/most of the people who this platform resonated with. And, well... that's exactly what he's done, aside from the other expected outcomes of inflaming racial/gender/etc. divides; ignorantly bumbling his way through economic, trade, and foreign policy; and lying his way through every day in office. What is it about that which still lends him support? Is it still just the chaos? Because he's not actually fixing anything for most of his supporters; the elites are still just as elite as ever, and at best it's status quo, but in many cases things are worse.

Put another way: it just seems unlikely to me that all the "burn it to the ground" supporters expected or are happy with the fact that burning it all down also causes them more suffering, too; more suffering than the establishment has been hit with. And yet, here we are.
Are you sure Google Play audiobooks are DRM free? I’d read they were not.
As someone who tracks system outages of Saas for my company, Slack has been really bad the last few months.

I’m consistently seeing problems on the back end that manifest to users of the service.

Critical functions like direct messages, search, mentions, app integration, app approvals are always popping up in their system status feed.

The only reason Slack caught on was businesses prior to that had AIM, Skype, or Hangouts at their disposal. AIM was agnostic across devices but depended on the user to set it up. Skype was either the personal version or the business version but you then were locked into using that to communicate. Hangouts requires Google services, which not a lot of businesses had.

Slack came out of nowhere and offered a myriad of services. It integrated with a lot and made it like AIM from 2008 when I used it at a company I worked for.

Slack seems to have something going on internally on the dev side because the consistent errors I see daily indicate they’re fixing something. Either addressing long term problems or just day to day fires.

I’ve considered Mattermost self hosted for my org. Works just like Slack but I can manage updates and I own all the data we put into it.

Interested to hear what others are using.

It seems like they heard the “critical feature as paid feature” complaint loud and clear which is why they made that part of the application freely available. While it maybe shouldn’t have taken so long to realize, many companies use a similar model that involves security features (LDAP integration, lower level controls, etc) as premium.

Security controls by accessing via API or strict network configs were also an option if you were using older open source versions. It took more work - but that’s also why it makes sense to pay for a better abstraction from the vendor.
I second that.

The Famotidine and Ranitidine are in the same class of drugs (H2 blockers) and you are probably not getting much benefits over just taking a single one.

You should definitely discuss this with your doctor.

You are misreading the GDPR badly. A data controller can only pass on PII to a data processor. That is, any entity receiving PII from a data comtroller automatically is assigned this role by law. There are no alternative roles that could assumed instead. This means that a data processor must obey the rules laid out for it by the GDPR or it is in violation.
> Here in the US, living in an upper-middle class area, lots of kids got them right off the bat.

I'm sure that correct, but how common iPhones are, even amongst your age group, greatly depends on where in the US you are. In my area, iPhones are not nearly as common as they are in other areas, and there is generally little peer pressure in the grade/high schools to have them. Having a smartphone generally is expected, but few people care about whether or not it's an iPhone.
I took a peak at the paper and discovered the following: among the languages they studied, English was second only to French in the number of bits of information per second conveyed on average. (English also had significantly fewer syllables per second than French.)

Thus, if you're choosing a language to communicate in on the basis of how fast it is to get an idea across, English and French are likely your best choices! (Among languages in the survey.)

For Germany it's something like 22% with "uncleaned" data and somewhat like 6% (some statisticians even calculate it as low as 2%) for cleaned data. According to Wikipedia [0] the US seems to have something like 6-7%, too for cleaned data.

Based on that her 30% sound like real bad negotiation and not asking for a raise regularly. But the article lacks detail information on this. Also, nobody knows that, maybe she is just not very good at her job and did not get a raise for that reason.

She also only changed her job once since college, too. While her medical condition might make it harder to change jobs, I wonder how long this condition exists and whether this always was the reason not to look for a better paying job.

All in all: Lots of reasons why she earns not as much as her colleagues, but probably no structural reasons.

Years back, I was brought in as a consultant for a large online provider of automated loan application systems to provide Chef automation for confirming that the CIS-CAT controls had been properly applied.

This was for a firm that handled over 80% of all online loan applications, from all the major banks, insurance companies, credit unions, etc.... From the moment you typed in the first character of your name to when you hit the final submit button, everything was handled on their site, and proxied through to the customer systems via an iframe or other technology.

I tried to convince them that they should have automated compliance testing and confirmation on a regular and frequent basis (like every thirty minutes), but they refused. They said it wasn't necessary according to their auditor, and they weren't going to open themselves up to additional risk by having the tool run too frequently.

They had quarterly audits, and therefore they wanted the tool to only be run quarterly, and to only be kicked off manually at that.

While us normal human beings might be convinced of the need and desire to always be protected, but banks and financial institutions don't think like that. For them, they only ever do the absolute minimum required by law, because anything more just creates more risk.
I recall a moment when, as an adult, I thought it might be fun to watch some cartoons that were my favorite as a child. I actually ended up giving up fairly quickly because the rate of the speech in many cartoons is apparently geared to be very slow. I remember firing up the first episode of the classic Thundercats show and being really struck at how much slower the characters spoke than my memory of the show.

On the flip side, I found noted radio show host Diane Rehm to be virtually unlistenable her rate of speech is sooooo incredibly slow. Her guests sound like they are all at 2x speed compared to her.

I'm pretty sure that this number changes as we age and our processing faculties gear up and then down.

I never understood why something like 4-pole 2.5mm phono wasn't used for USB. Then you'd have no orientation issues at all, and fumble-insertion would be trivial.

An argument I've heard against this is that a rotating connector wouldn't be electrically stable enough. But this is easily addressed - you could easily add a toothed collar to the plug preventing it from rotating, at the small cost of there being a finite number of dozens of possible orientations, instead a continuous infinity. Or better, just design the protocol to be tolerant to packet loss.
