Ask HN: What food content do you REALLY want a map for on your phone?
Hi HN Foodies,

What restaurant lists/food content would interest you enough to download a new app for if it gave you a visual map of every restaurant on that list and the ability to quickly sort and find the nearest restaurant with your phone?

Imagine traveling to Thailand and having a map of every restaurant recommended by Migrationology or all the restaurants from Netflix's "Ugly Delicious" to help you find legit good food near you when you're traveling with just a tap.

I've been using Youtube and other sites to find travel food recommendations, but have been frustrated by the amount of manual legwork I still need to do to organize the data into Google Sheets or Google Map Pins. Both aren't great as well on your phone when you're hungry and just trying to find a good place to eat nearby.

So I've built a product to fix that for myself and am looking to source content people might be interested in to start beta-testing.

Example:

Award/Curated lists (Michelin, Eater38)

Food TV shows (Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Food Network)

Food content creator (Bourdain, David Chang)

Youtube Channels (Migrationology, Strictly Dumplings, Worth It)

What food content do HN foodies really want as a map on their phone but can't get right now?
Yes, I have a few affiliate links on my site (on products and services I've used for ~20 years). And those are all super in depth articles. Such as a 4,000+ word post on monitors that I still get emails about years later saying it is the best resource they found on the internet for purchasing a monitor, etc..

I spent about 3,000 hours over 5 years writing the content on my site asking nothing in return. The affiliate sales on my site help pay for hosting and I don't think it's scammy to drop them in when it applies. I also think it would be a little weird if I started every article that has an affiliate link with a 5 paragraph disclaimer to justify why I am using that link, but maybe I should write a post about that and then drop a 1 liner link somewhere.

Literally opening a lemonade stand as a grown man would be more profitable than what I make on affiliate sales on my site if you factor in hourly rates.

>Also, the numbers you give show over a third in stocks, which have experienced drops of 50% in living memory. That would seem to be enough to cause a problem even in that case, wouldn't it?

I tried to find the 2008 report but the oldest one is 2010. Luckily it has a 5-year-earlier section:

https://imgur.com/a/jFUs8bV

It's Dutch but you can see that they lost 14.5% total in 2008 and then made 14.8% return in 2009 and 10% in 2010.

Since they always have fixed income bonds and cash on hand I don't think it's a problem. And in 2018 the fund had €10bn of assets. Seems to be doing great.
Decreasing or increasing by a factor is mathematically cleaner than decreasing or increasing by a percent. To decrease by a percent the formula is (1 - 66/100)*x, to decrease by a factor of three the formula is x/3. It might not seem like a big difference, but the latter can make things a lot cleaner in long finance formulas.
Is there anything more tedious than liberal divide-and-conquer tactics masquerading as x group rights? I'm amazed that anyone with half a brain can't see this stuff for what it is.
That's a bit reductionistic as there's lots of other things organisms do.
Its a business, around a game. I guess they can do whatever they want with it.
That’s a little more complicated. Now you’re replacing a face and body and either having them voice dialogue separately (dubbing themselves) or you’re putting a local face to a foreign film (and subbing?)

I can see them modifying the actual original actor to speak in a local language however to sync with the localized dialogue.

That said, your proposition is also interesting. It raises some questions though. Imagine an indie French film where the protagonist (or whoever) gets replaced by a Hollywood actor. Or an indie Angolan film which gets the treatment. There would be lots of purists (for many reasons) protesting this kind of option.

> there is no way to know as a kernel if two things that are security sensitive relative to each other

The kernel has a way, and it is process isolation. The kernel doesn't care if you want two threads in the same process to be isolated from one another - that's your problem, not the kernel's.

Anyway, thread isolation already doesn't work even without hyperthreading-specific attacks: "we have discovered that untrusted code can construct a universal read gadget to read all memory in the same address space through side-channels. In the face of this reality, we have shifted the security model of the Chrome web browser and V8 to process isolation" (from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.05178v1.pdf).
I think it again falls into kernel versus whole system. Releasing an update to the whole system is more work than releasing the kernel.

Little orthogonal:
It sort of rhymes with the mono repository versus collection of micro repositories mindset. Does BSD have more code reuse since it is whole system?
Feels like a let them eat cake argument to me. I’m sure many others would like to have the luxury of remote work and leisurely paced travel.

The primary cause of population growth today is not birth rate, but rather death rate - people benefiting from modern society are living 10-20 years longer (or more) than their ancestors did just a generation or three earlier. The birth rate is at or near (or below) replacement in the vast majority of countries, and rapidly heading that direction in most of the rest.

If you really want population control, you don't need eugenics - you need Logan's Run.

The downside of an XOR-linked list is that a single pointer to a list node isn’t enough information to traverse the list. Instead, you need to know the addresses of two adjacent nodes. They also don’t have an innate directionality to them; swapping your two local pointers will have you following the list in the opposite direction.

Great point. In a possibly strange sense, the fact that the us and the uk just carry on having basically very safe and functional democracies even with the complete lockdown in the uk from brexit, and perhaps slightly lesser lockdown in the us (polarization of dems vs republicans) is impressive. but it's really depressing to be living through it.
Oh that return policy.

When I was working at a startup in the early 90's, we decided we needed to max out memory for a demo to a big potential customer. They sent me to Fry's in Palo Alto to get the module.

After the demo -- boss decided it was too expensive and I needed to return it. Slightly horrified (although I think the module was a couple thousand 1994 dollars and we were... bootstrapped) I went back.

"What's wrong with the product?"
"Um... wrong color?"

And they did the refund.
In the past, responsibly run pension funds projected a conservative rate of return to account for these risks.

The problem isn't the financial model of pensions, but the politics of it. Lowering the expected rate of return of a pension fund causes a huge increase in the funding requirements that are calculated, and a suddenly appearing budget problem such as this is bad news for people's political careers.

The same problem exists in the private sector. Changing the model to project a lower rate of return hurts profit numbers in the near term and makes a huge liability appear on the balance sheet, so executives will kick the can down the road as much as they can. The problem is only worse with public sector pensions because of regulatory differences.

>Half an orbit is mightily late.

It makes perfect sense. If you did the manoeuvre earlier, there's more chance that drift in both satelite's orbits will bring them back closer again. By doing it half an orbit before, they can work from the most precise measurements of the two satelite's relative positions and calculate a minimum burn for an avoidance trajectory.

Also a burn at a given point offsets your relative altitude by the maximum amount at the opposite point in the orbit, half an orbit away. So you'll want to burn half an orbit (or an odd number of half orbits) from the point of intersection.
Perhaps because at root, its a subjective measure. What did you eat beforehand? What is your level of exhertion? Hydration? What do your genes do to the enzymes in your mouth? What did you grow up/get acclimated to already?

Just look around the world, at the crazy things other cultures eat. Of course taste is subjective! Or genetic; either way, its gonna be hard to be objective in a meaningful way.

> ...which have experienced drops of 50% in living memory.

And those drops were immediately followed by a return to previous levels. Pension funds are in it for the long term, and has been mentioned elsewhere in the comments a decade of lower stock prices here or there isn't that big of a deal for them. Being underfunded obviously is an issue, however.

Except that as an individual you are have shorter time line than pensions: you'll be dead in ~20 years after you retire. Pensions have timelines of >20 years, and so they must have higher returns to handle the needs of those coming after you.

If you do a search you'll find a number of people arguing that having a 60/40 portfolio may not be enough post-retirement, and that if you want to not run out of money, then something like a 60/30 or 80/20 equity-bond mix may be necessary.

In the past bond rates were often >4%: good luck finding that (unless you want to buy Brazil, Mexico, or Russia bonds).

That chart shows a positive growth rate beyond 2100, which means continued exponential growth, not a decreasing population.

Lowering population alone doesn't solve every problem, but without it, many problems are unsolvable.
Fantastic, I was hoping Firefox will implement this finally.

Thanks.

I had another 4,000+ word post about monitors from a few years ago.

After 250ish posts it's hard to keep track of everything but I think you are right. That monitor and this keyboard post is the only time I ever specifically wrote about a product.

I write about what I happen to be learning about and using at the moment. Sometimes it's Flask, sometimes it's Vim, sometimes it's finding a useful product or service I came across while doing developer related things (like typing or looking at a monitor for long hours per day). Often times what I write is what I wish I could have read before having to put in all of the hours of research myself.

Just some personal observations, maybe relevant to recent misinformation topics, or maybe not.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. are all blocked in mainland China. Many people, especially those young and well-educated, use VPN to access them, have an account and follow world news and foreign celebrities sometimes.

There are popular and feature-rich counterparts in mainland, and most people prefer to have their daily sharing and discussion (including domestic politics) there instead of on social media based in US. Therefore most of the time, their accounts on Facebook or Twitter are mainly for reading rather than sharing and posting.

However, they might comment (register a new account if needed) on topics conveying a message related to China they strongly disagree (you could argue they are brainwashed), in a short period and coordinated way (they read repost from the same domestic website), through a few common IP addresses (the same VPN), with bad-written English (seldom practice writing before). But they are not bots and it's inappropriate to label these as the typical state-run misinformation campaign.

If you speak Chinese, you could find many discussions where ordinary people complain their accounts get blocked because of pro-China comments. e.g. https://weibo.com/1401527553/I32ryx2cu

Of course, these observations aren't necessarily contradictory with recent reports blaming China propaganda. I just want to show how some false positivity could happen, since there's some difference of the behaviour of China's users. Maybe a better algorithm is needed to distinguish them from government-backed activities.

You should not assume that they are not considering their extensive history of being involved when the general public assumed that they were not.
Death rate stabilizes once good infant care and lifetime medicine are introduced. Folks live around 74 years, worldwide. So its contributing a constant factor by now, most places.
It's a mistake to assume all the investors in these schemes are naive or that they all lost money (particularly with the more recent schemes I would imagine). Many fully understand what is happening and know that if they get in early and out again before the music stops there is a very good return in it.
It absolutely should, so that only strong men can possibly pass. Then, since this is absolutely sexist and prevents female (or less-strong men) from flying the plane, either the plane should be non-certified, or Boeing should have to pay full lifetime salaries for any not-strong-enough pilots who want to file a claim that they can't fly this plane.

You've hit the nail on the head. It's all about vested interests.

I was involved for a number of years with a UK based horse racing ratings service (handicapping if in the US). This service used to license their base data from the Press Association[1] and then run algorithms on top to produce the ratings.

There's certain things I can't say due to NDAs which are probably still in effect, but the cost of licensing this basic data was in excess of £10k per annum. So, unless you were a serious bettor or were looking to operate a service of some kind, it's beyond the pocket of most individuals.

Timeform in the UK also license some of their own proprietory data, via an API[2]. They've published some pricing on their website and you're looking at between £6k - £12k per year. This is just to access data which is available via their website for a subscription fee of £75 per month, but via their API.

There's even a specific UK organisation which apparently has the permission from the British Horse Racing Authority to officially licence key racing data. This is who sells the data to bookmakers, form guides, racing newspapers etc. They have a rate card published on their website.[3] Private, pro-punter? £8.5k per year please.

It's a bit of a rort really. Most of the data is "freely" available online or in the racing press, but if you want to access it any useable format, either build a scraper (good luck with staying on top of the website changes) or pay a stack to access things programmatically.

Chrome doesn't exclusively use process isolation, several sites will share the same chrome process. This is only one example, another might be for instance, authenticating users on one thread, and sensitive authenticated data on another, which is an extremely common pattern.

The cutting edge for a lot of people right now is using Bayesian approaches over frequentist approaches.

Interestingly, a frequentist approach (i.e. just looking at what happened in the past, producing a rough regression, and then assembling ensembles of such models), is likely to get you +EV in markets that don't get frequented by big hitters. It'll help you in your high school football league, for example, but it won't help you make money in the NFL markets.

Benter has written about his approaches, and has hinted at various ways of working he used.

The frequentist approach he took most likely still stands up in Hong Kong because there are only two tracks, variance is limited, the horse population is limited etc.

That doesn't apply anywhere else in the World, or for almost any other sport.

There is a whole World out there that you are yet to discover, but it's unlikely the syndicates will welcome you. More money in the market on the other side of the table is always welcome (that's liquidity, always helpful for the market to be bigger), but more money on your/their side makes the job harder.

Always remember to only bet what you can afford to lose, and good luck!
A number of good replies in this thread, and I usually reach for the USL lawsuit as the go-to explanation, but another explanation I've heard probably has some merit as well: Linux came up from the PC world, whereas BSD came from academia and, later, techie companies.

Therefore, bedroom hackers would be more likely to be able to install Linux on the hardware they had, not the hardware they wished they had, so they'd reach for Linux when their employer wanted some kind of backroom system that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Therefore, there was more Linux out there beyond the explicitly techie companies, the ones who'd have already bought Solaris or IRIX or HP-UX, and the current userbase drives both features and future userbase.

Context of the conversation wasn't hypothetical future situations, but rather the present situation facing Hong Kong protesters.

Given that the protests are about China's over-reach into Hong Kong rule of law, Apple making any changes in the immediate future to impact Hong Kong residents would be a very challenging decision to make. It would also be particularly difficult to enforce, given that Hong Kong exists on the outside of the Great Firewall, with the rest of the wider Internet.

Well, I also like the facts that:

* Everyone can access it. Not just sophisticated actors anymore

* It might make us rethink the entire "truth" chain, on how we source our information

Of course, the two go hand-in-hand, but the latter point is overdue: while video is perhaps more glaring, it's something that's needed in a lot of other areas as well (text -- news articles, messages, mail; sound -- phone calls, etc; image -- photoshop, though we start to get used to it).
That's exactly why, whoopdedo :)

If Waze labels a traffic violation as a toll, they will lose the moral high ground (“it’s legal, what is the problem?” negated) and expose both Waze and its contributors to significant liability - and risk being ordered by a court to take actions (such as “disable all routing within Los Angeles” or “provide a real-time data feed of all routings to LADOT for analysis and enforcement”).
