The budget is tiny compared to national welfare schemes. India's remote sensing satellites have helped countless farmers as well. Not to mention the inspiration it gives to future generations.
If someone shared outright that they'd had similar experiences, few people would believe them.
Nothing stopping you from capturing packets at the router or using tcpdump on your phone. Not convenient but theoretically possible.
Is anything stopping people from going all-in HTML5 and not even worry about having a presence in the app store?
Everything with including HTML in this report does indeed seem weird. Especially since they group HTML together with CSS and has the following as the definition of the two:

> HTML is a specialized language for describing the appearance and content of web pages, often extended using CSS

Hard to take the rest of the report seriously when they don't seem to know what they are talking about.

Also, the title of the report should probably replace "Top" with "Most Popular" as they seem to go by usage, not necessarily the "best" language (which I would have thought with the usage of "top")

Cuda and Lisp being listed as programming languages also further indicates the authors are missing something.
Yes, because MTA does not have a right of way or power in the tunnels. Oh wait, it does! It must be because Wifi/BT enabled trip sensors sensors don't exist. Oh wait, they do. So it must be because we have never done Bluetooth/wifi tracking of clients based on addresses. Oh wait, we did.
This article was solid.
it is true, and I was not trying to blame anyone , if you try to re-read again where my comments started, I was trying(and probably failing) to explain why some gun related images will be shocking for someone is Europe where for someone in US is natural and I was trying to explain how are guns so popular even if there are no guns that you can actually see(again there is no blame since I don't think there is something bad that someone plays with a toy gun or with a gun in a video game).

Other example of shocking image/video for someone like me , a father sending his 10(or younger son in the house to bring his shotgun outside, or a different father training his 10 years old daughter to shoot a shotgun (or maybe are rifles I don't know exactly what the guns were)
I mainly use goodreads as a sanity check on Amazon reviews.
Bear in mind their invention was, I believe, a positive. That by adjusting the nicotine in the vape you could ease off smoking. The goal was not for vaping to become a cool thing to do. (Although I'm certain once e-cig companies realized the market they were encroaching on, they capitalized as capitalists do.)
the farmer’s market is one of the reasons I want to com le back.
Because if we’re replacing classic DNS with something new, it needs to be part of the OS.

Not reimplemented (and configured) per application. The user and OS should control the application, not the other way around.
No one has not stood by the scientists. That would be an incredibly stupid move.
Every country with a space program has its issues and underfunded social welfare programs. This should not stand in the way of innovation. Having indigenously developed space technology offers India a unique strategic advantage especially when it's achievements have come at a fraction of the cost of other programs (Mangalyaan for example).

I would highly recommend taking a scuba diving course with your kids. They can start as early as 8 years old, however in order to be classified as open water autonomous divers you need to wait until they are 10.

I don't know where you are located, but PADI open water course outside of the US is about $200 and takes 3-4 days.

Its a skill they will have for life and it will be something you will talk about for years.

The only downside is that once you start diving all of your vacations become diving trips.

As far as resources are concerned, go to a used book store and pick up tropical reef animal (coral are animals) identification books. They are great coffee table reading and are effectively real life Pokedexes.
Yeah, absolutely. Even more experienced folks sometimes get stuck on this. There's some selection/confirmation bias: you ask questions in chat or whatever, and there's someone who's got a lot of answers, and you're grateful and excited by the help. But you ignore all the time they were only partially right, or wrong, or -- most important! didn't even answer at all because they weren't familiar with the topic. (But someone else did answer, and also gets added to your mental "expert" list.) And of course you don't see all the things that they don't know or are struggling with. (Some of which could easily be things that seem simple and comfortable to you!)

I try to dissuade this kind of thinking when I see it: I like answering people's questions, and I take pride in knowing a lot of stuff. But there's way more stuff that I don't know than that I know. And I might need these folks' help with something I'm unfamiliar with, so I don't want them thinking they're "below" me and there's no way they could know something I don't. I'm sure they do!
Why should there be something distracting on launch day ?
Azure does a pretty good job of engaging with you, though it's more of a support role to help you during setup and less about feature requests. I'm sure they do those too, but prioritizing them would be a black box.

I've come from an organization with a $250K monthly AWS spend. It was impossible to talk to anyone without spending an additional $25K/mo for a support contract. Insane.

A feature I want on goodreads is "for me and a friend, show me the rarest book we have read in common". It would be great to find connections between people that would be hard to discover otherwise.

Same thing for groups - it's fun to try to find the "rarest common denominator" in the books, movies, or places visited domain.
> it’s the sports like mentality

That's just the human (or maybe cultural) drive to compete. The problem is it turns into an arms race that starts with training (but the training can become overwhelming) and leads to performance-enhancing drugs (could be steroids, could be Adderall). Where do you draw the line? 4 hours of studying? Educational summer camp? 12 year olds taking the SAT? Practically mandatory extra-curriculars?

At least on the academic side, obviously smart students who just missed the cutoff for elite schools still do fine, but it's hard to tell kid who has to go to UCLA because they didn't get into Harvard that it affects their opportunities less than they'd think.
“Seriously tainted” is implied to mean “if you knew about his past and continued to do business with him anyway”. Taking part in his crimes a level of evil that doesn’t even need to be mentioned — if you turned a blind eye to Epstein’s dark history while taking his money, than you are tainted, of course.

That first graphic with failed title search results reminded me of a project I did working on a library catalog search using Solr.

We tuned the relevancy ranking to work for exactly those sorts of searches, and put the things the OP was looking for on top (or at least under other books with exact same title). His examples look just like some of our QA searches for our relevancy ranking (in addition to standard tf/idf: boost adjacent words matching higher than non-adjacent or out of order; boost match of complete title higher than partial title; boost match before the subtitle colon more than after; boost title matches more than author more than other fields; etc).

And this was ~5 years ago, and this was an underfunded university library IT department where the development team consisted basically of me, just using stock Solr for relevancy ranking (the tuning came in how we constructed and boosted our indexed fields). No fancy machine learning, just configuring fields and boosts deterministically.

So, this could be done, if they cared about the site at all.

[In fact, hey, i can give you actual examples from that project. Turns out there are a lot of books called "the confession" -- we didn't do anything fancy to try to guess which one more readers would be looking for.

Seems that a lot of SaaS entrepreneurs start out as agency owners with a technical problem to solve for themselves. The problem provides a springboard for a SaaS product.
I agree. One issue I find is that many students struggle with the remedial and 101 classes which I honestly think and decent freshman or sophomore in highschool should be able to do. The point is that highschool isn't very successful for many students.
Italian and other European immigrants have certainly left their mark on sandwiches on the east coast. It's the best of both worlds. Quality cured meats and US portion sizes.
Name-dropping the term "false dichotomy" is not a real argument. By using that term, you are claiming that there is no connection between the "moral outrage against Epstein associates" part and the "actually getting to the bottom of how Epstein got off" part. I disagree; I think those things are clearly connected and the former is distracting from the latter. Just because you can imagine that those things are unrelated doesn't make it so. Of course, that goes equally for me: just because I can imagine that they are connected doesn't make it so. But, either way, the term "false dichotomy" adds absolutely nothing to this discussion.

Anyway, I think you have it exactly backwards. People are not angels and the idea that "we can become a more moral society by calling out the bad people" seems incredibly suspect to me. We have systems in place to deal with transgressors. In this case, those systems failed. I want to understand exactly why and how they failed. Now, perhaps the systems really did fail because "people are apathetic" or "people don't care about crimes against women" and we can fix the problem by shaming people who were apathetic. But I'd prefer a more detailed analysis. It's not at all clear to me that Epstein got off because people were apathetic.
> Everybody knows that NYC subway isn't as modern as a lot of systems but don't forget that it's by far the largest subway system in the world and also one of the oldest.

Paris and London’s subway are older, around the same size, and much much much more modern than NYC. Underinvestment is what makes NYC’s metro shitty.
Well I know this is anecdotal, and I can't say how widespread this behavior would be, but I'm certain my wife wouldn't let my 5 year old boy put his iPad on display out of embarrassment.

This is very compatible with Chinese culture. It is very normal to do business (even very small transactions) with your friend group. This is partly because of very low levels of trust in society and partly to keep money from leaving your social group.
They survived meteor impacts that lit the atmosphere on fire and blocked out the sun for years, life finds a way.

What we are doing to the environment is catastrophic, but it is not the hardest thing it has had to endure.

Just as an example, despite nearly world wide bleaching my house reef is expanding by over 2 meters a year and the pace is accelerating.

Some species thrive as others die, those that can adapt will take the place of the ones that can't. That doesn't mean that we should stop trying to undo the damage we have already done, but I try to avoid the defeatist attitude that many environmentalists seem to pushing these days.
I meant that using some paid VPN for privacy is not recommended because in most cases it doesn't improve privacy, only costs money. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with connecting to your own VPN server at home when you are away, in order to access your local network, or if you want want to browse Internet through your home ISP instead of your mobile ISP.

Now, if using paid VPN providers is just a useless advice, possibly partially spread by the VPN industry, using NordVPN is very harmful because it seems to be one of the least trustworthy VPN providers because of their close connections with the data mining industry. NordVPN seems to be the №1 because of their immense advertisement spendings that bury the controversy.
That sounds like a pretty interesting challenge. Happy to chat more - you can get in touch using the contact details on github.
Accessing hidden pay content is WRONG.

And I dussent think you wuz brought up to do WRONG.
How about to save time, we could have this choice only once, and that would apply to every application on the machine. Say it could even be handled by the OS itself!

And to save users even more time, not having to configure this per machine, we could have such assignment be an automatic part of the network infrastructure...

We could call it DHCP and DNS! How about it?
The most harmful part about cigarettes is inhaling byproducts from something burning. I'm even mildly allergic to pretty much every vape product, and I'd acknowledge that provided there is nothing toxic in vape juice, it has to be much less harmful than smoking - simply because of the lack of combustion products.
Which is the ENTIRE problem. Housing should be a human right, not a financial instrument. Just like healthcare. Just like food.
Ask HN: How do you find jobs / companies you want to work?
I've had multiple people and myself confirm jobs boards mostly suck. They either are cluttered with promoted positions, positions posted by staffing companies, or are niche woth not a lot of options.

People have told me the best thing to do is to find companies you want to work for and apply directly to them. Now let's say you have a bit of criteria for what you'd like: How do you go about finding companies that match that criteria?
R above JavaScript? Matlab above Go? Something tells me that the ranking algorithm is broken.
They haven't built any new features for years. I just keep waiting for any meaningful privacy controls, I want to keep track of what I've read and what I thought about the book without everyone seeing that. Seeing a cover just doesn't do it any more if it's your 50th space Sci-Fi.

Keeping track if I've read the entire series or not is another feature I really miss for books that trakt.tv provides for shows.
Distracting to whom? The scientists were pretty much focussed with their tasks.

We all have most of our goods shipped to a spot near us via some combination of boats, trains, trucks, and air. The difference is that I walk my last mile, and you drive a few miles in a personal car.

Further, my home uses less energy, it wastes fewer agricultural resources, and it gets numerous scale-related benefits.

I understand that you _wish_ that we were wrong, but we're not. You are both environmentally and intellectually inferior.
I think people start allowing themselves behaviors on the fringe, which then changes their perception of what is acceptable and further pushes their belief of where the fringe is, which then gives them reason to allow themselves behaviors on that new fringe, and so on...

Eventually they end up somewhere messed up. Morality is malleable and normality is relative. Unless you pay attention at every step, I can see how someone who's playing a bit loose with the rules might end up in a spot where they're doing truly awful things.
I'm guessing it varies a lot by school. I went to a top engineering school as an undergrad and cheating was rampant - probably something like 1/3 of the graduating class participated in cheating to some extent. I then went to another top engineering school as a graduate student and I never saw anyone cheat.
This seems to be a uniquely American problem. I’m a Brit who now lives in the USA, but back in the UK, calling things by their generic drug name was the default, and while brand names were also still common, there was usually more than one to choose from.

Aside: It took me far too long to figure out that “paracetamol” is called “acetaminophen” in the USA. You would think that at least the generic names would be universal.

I have had them 3 times since. The last time was after the opioid crisis hit and I was petrified I wouldn't be able to find relief. The local hospital no longer provides anything more than morphine in the ER; you have to be admitted. I was admitted and no issues getting the shot.

I read quite a bit and generally like Goodreads for what it is, but I agree that it's essentially not grown at all in 12 years. There are parts that are broken, there are features that are lacking, and it frustrates me to no end.

Many, many times I've thought of how I'd build a competitor, but it is pointless because Goodread's moat is too big: the integrations with the kindle go a very long way towards cultivating engagement (when you start a book, kindle will update your profile by default, it'll add your rating, mark the book as finished, all through the normal ux of the kindle).

There is no way, in my opinion, to overcome the handicap of needing users to manually update what is automatically updated by the kindle. And I can't see 'linking' accounts working because there'd be no incentive for Amazon not to block access from a competitor. And, frankly, the kindle is the only platform that matters, it likely has 95%+ of the ereader market.

Goodreads is bad because it is a monopoly, and that, frankly, sucks.
Who can blame faculty for having no interest in teaching introductory classes when the dropout rate is 60 % and when all the dropouts go whining to administration when they became weeded out?

High dropout rates might actually be a good sign - everyone gets to try out, and if they don't manage it's time for them to go do something else. It beats overzealous gatekeeping.
> Just can't understand why so many countries reinventing the wheels.

Reinventing wheels is hugely important to advancing technology, both between countries and between companies. The notion that getting rid of competition is beneficial because of the saving in redundant effort is an evergreen fallacy.

The problem with doing single efforts is the huge risk that the effort screws up, or is subverted for illegitimate purposes, and if there's no redundancy it blocks everything. Single efforts become breeding grounds of entitlement and rent seeking.
There is a lot there but it’s pretty hard to maintain. Visual Studio has a tendency to sometimes upgrade references automatically. I have seen it now several times that a project has been set up with the correct references, then somebody else opens the project, saves, and now everything is changed. Makes me sometimes get nostalgic about make files. It took a while to build them up manually but then they were stable. With Visual Studio there is too much “intelligence” and wizardry going on behind the scenes.
Despite the ever-complaining complaints of (perfectionist) French people, somehow bureaucracy-burdened RATP and SNCF manage to be dozens of percentage more on time than any transit agency in the US.
Addiction isn't caused by heroin or oxy or any other drug by itself. It's caused by people having hard, unfulfilled lives in a society that doesn't care about and actively tries to hurt them. A society that doesn't care, that doesn't provide purpose, jobs, homes, food, friends, relationships, nature, or any kind of help. Fulfilled people with good lives who aren't in constant pain don't get addicted. They might be dependent for awhile while the pain from their surgery goes away but then they'll go back to their lives. People who have no lives on the other hand will get addicted. If it's not heroin, it's oxy. If but oxy meth. Or coke. Or even weed. Too bad we as people and as a society still don't understand this and pretend like heroin is some magic substance that everyone gets addicted to. Most users do not get addicted. Usually around 90%. You never hear about them. You also never hear about the addicts shooting up legal heroin for decades who don't overdose, don't get sick, and have normal lives. Only the stupid drug war mantras live now despite us knowing better from real experience with helping addicts and not making them into criminals. Experiments have been happening all over the world for decades but the drug warriors are the only ones that get the press. It's sad that so many people's lives have to be ruined by their insanity. One day we'll look back and wonder how we could have been so cruel and so stupid with all the solutions already known to us.
In the traditional model of society, that's exactly what happened. A major reason people raised children was that children were obligated to support their parents when the parents grew old.

In the 夷堅志, a collection of fables from 12th-century China, there is a whole large genre of stories like the following:

- A man was wealthy, but refused to support his parents in their old age. The man was struck by lightning and died.

- A man who didn't listen to his mother or support her in her old age died, and he was sentenced to hell.

- An official who was traveling home to pick up his mother to bring her with him to the city was attacked by a tiger. He begged with the tiger for his life, saying he needed to support his mother. The tiger knew that his intentions were good, and left without eating him. Later, when the man's mother died [no longer needing support], the tiger came back and ate him.

A lot of the stories in that book are alien to us, but the message in these is pretty clear.
