It really isn't.

Imagine you have a piece of information that your neighbors in town come to you for every once in a while. They come over every now and again, ask you for it, maybe even bring you cookies for the trouble, and you provide it.

Then there's Ted.

Ted is insatiable. He hounds you at every minute of your day, constantly asking you the same question over and over. You've done everything you can. You tried to reason with Ted. You tried to contact whoever it is that brought Ted to your neighborhood. You even got so desperate, you moved a few houses down to escape the incessant hounding. That only worked for a little while though, and Ted found you again.

So you tried to stop answering the door; no use, he pokes his head in every time you're in the garage. You demanded people identify themselves first. Oh well, it's changed little. Now he just names himself gibberish names before hounding you for the same things over and over again.

This would not by any stretch of the imagination be acceptable behavior between two people. The main factor in determination for a court injunction would likely be physical trespass, or public nuisance; but no digital equivalent exists currently other than the CFAA, in the sense that in as much as one can prove that the access to the system is inconsistent with the intent or legal terms of providing a service, one may seek relief.

The problem is, LinkedIn has failed to make a convincing argument in the eyes of the appellate court that hiQ's Ted is violating the CFAA while LinkedIn has proactively engaged in activity disrupting hiQ's ability to do business; business which was consistent with the service granted to unknown members of the public at large.

In the Court's eyes, from the sounds of it, it appears LinkedIn is doing the greater harm.

What it looks like to me is this is setting up a common law framework that is going to cause website/service providers to have to choose from the get-go what their relationship to the Net is.

Are you just a transitor providing a service over the Net to a limited, select clientele bound by very specific terms of service? Then you may have a leg to stand on in fending off malignant Teds, but your exposure and onboarding will need to have concomitant friction to make the case to the Court that these Teds were never meant to be serviced in the first place.

Or, are you providing a public content portal, meant to make things accessible to everyone, with minimal terms? In which case, no legal Ted relief for you!

Just because it is your "syatem' and it isn't connected to your nervous system, does not mean it isn't capable of being caused harm to, or inflicting harm on someone else with careless muckery.

The one thing that disturbs me most is how the Court has disregarded the chilling effect that interpreting a duty to maintaining visibility may incur. A First Amendment challenge may end up being the inevitable result of this legal proceeding.
Another example is Air India flying Chicago to Frankfurt Germany.

Ah, you’re right - I was getting high-speed nuclear bombers confused with nuclear missiles.
I'm no fan of Rep Ilhan Omar, but I find the antisemitism charges against her absurd. AIPAC alone spends almost $70 million per year, and we're supposed to pretend lobbying has nothing to do with our seemingly unconditional support for Israel?
Ok, its true, there is some sort of rent control where I live, the inflation can only go up by the same as inflation - for the duration of the contract. But then one the contract is up they can charge what the market will let them. Contracts were 5 years, went down to 3, and are now back up to 5.

At the end of our last 5 year contract the rent went up by around 45%. Bought a small place further out instead.

I've been reading Hacker News for several months and this is the first time I felt motivated to comment. I'm using a burner account because I knew this was a unpopular side to support and didn't want to start an account (that I would rarely use, I'm pretty quiet) off on that. I didn't expect to be trusted on my non-existing record on HN, but wanted to present a side of the story not often told. I am not a "disinformation account". I have always valued discussion from all sides, especially opposing sides, and wanted to offer this resource.
Hahaha I remember having the same feeling when I read Les Miserables! One of my favourites definitely.
Asking that question is the simple part. I am more curious what he actually does afterwards to reduce the stress..
Yes, and thanks for asking!
When my 6 broke, I decided to switch carriers (from prepaid) to try out the new (at the time - earlier this year) XR. For the 1 week I owned it, there was something strange about it that I just can't describe. It wasn't buyers remorse, but it just felt wrong in my hands. I genuinely asked myself if spending 1k + 100/mo was worth it. Ended up returning the phone, returned back to my old carrier, and ended up going with a 6s making my purchase at 250 + 30/mo. No qualms.
The current reference implementation, Synapse (Python) seems to take up around 2GB of RAM, Dendrite (Golang) rn uses up to 100MB according to Matthew (project lead). Note that Dendrite is still a WIP. Currently I don't think anyone is too sure about how Ruma (Rust) would perform as it is still very early in development.
After rooming with a man in his 50s who had been living with HIV since the 80s, I can confidently say, compared to other diseases, we have come a long long way with HIV treatment.

No longer a death sentence, no less a danger.

Weren't there two people "cured" in Germany a couple years ago? Feel like that was a big deal.
I also run up against the deploying problem quite a bit. For the most part, only Windows has been a real issue for me. Lately I've use Cython and found that adds an even tougher layer of difficulty to the problem.
Maybe it is not the case at hand in Norway, but what I see around (Italy, Florence) is not as much as "overtourism" but rather "impolite tourism", i.e. tourism by masses of people that for whatever reasons lack the bare minimum of common sense and polite behaviour.

The large numbers are of course part of the problem, but it would be minimized if tourists were behaving more properly.
On-Call Nightmares Podcast Episode – 38 – Gene Kim – IT Revolution
All true, but I don't think python's really supposed to be perfect for making desktop apps, its lack of static typing means a large scale app would end up becoming a pain to maintain.

That's why it is best used in small teams for data science and scripting; run once and never look back. Most complaints about python IMO fail to appreciate its design philosophy.
I know you mentioned the build tools but I didn't know if you knew they can work with Qt.

QT for Python and The Fman build system would allow you to deploy in some cases a single executable.

That being said I had issues getting everything installed correctly with Pipenv and then locking the specific versions that are compatible. fman and pyside2.

A GUI builder comes with the Pyside2 package qtdesigner.exe I think.

How do you come to this conclusion from this pricing page? [0]

I might be missing something but that seems like serverless pricing. You might be thinking of the pricing scheme when Fargate first launched? Or maybe you’re thinking of ECS, which does in fact charge as you described.

Maybe they're A/B testing or they've changed. The ones I've seen took you through a screen or two of options and such before adding whatever you'd selected to your order, with the "just friggin' add it" button far less obviously placed than it should have been. Also took some thinking to figure out where certain things might be in the menu.

[EDIT] My experience is muddling through the process once the first time I saw one just to see what it was like, but it definitely took several times as long as just walking up and ordering (and all I ordered was a coffee), and watching my wife try to use one on a family trip, spend about ~2x as long as it would have taken to just order at the counter, curse at it, give up, walk over and order at the counter.
at least they can do something about it!
Do You Remember Scooby Doo? Scooby-Doo Turns 50
I don't mean to be rude but: why is this here? It would be a neat project to map out the changes in the types of stories and comments on HN over time. Over the years, HN has grown more and more in the direction of reddit front page and become less and less like an irc channel where people talk about technology.
Trying to curb mass tourism leads to Brexit?

Are you one of those people that claims eating a candybar leads to intravenous heroin use?
I don't think violations should be ignored simply because more egregious ones exist. There's no reason both can't be pursued. For example you don't ignore muggings just because some people are commiting murder. In this case, Joi deliberately violated policy in accepting donations from Epstein. I agree the University shouldn't devote significant resources to policing donations that in all likelihood are legitimate in the vast majority of cases. But when something like this falls in their lap, there's no reason to ignore this just because other bad things happen, say a coach that might be taking million dollar bribes to get a student admitted.
Let's say that life arose independently on three separate occasions, and each of these groups evolved as far as a fish completely independently of one another, and these three fish populations were by some miracle similar enough genetically to produce fertile offspring, and they mated, and we're the result. Each of the single-celled organisms that eventually gave rise to these fish would still be a common ancestor of humans, in that all of today's humans are descended from it. Whichever of these organisms appeared first would win the crown of "earliest" common ancestor.

Europe is not a single entity in tech, you have to check out your area(country, city) what prevails the most.
That's a weird quibble. If there are ten variants and only one of them is Titanium White, the desirable one is only available in 10% of the drops and is thus rare. Yes, desirability plays a role, but it's still rare.
I don't think it's clear at all that the natural grouping or division should be "STEM" vs "humanities". I think that mathematics belongs much closer to the humanities, especially philosophy and aesthetics, than to science or engineering.
The meat and potatoes of course is the parser created for this language: https://github.com/Attempto/APE

This is the primary benefit for heavily structuring the sentences. It effectively turns into a programming language with its own form of definitions and statements. My question is: Can we make it Turing-complete by means of recursive sentences? Maybe by using the sentences that redefine proper nouns?
The thing about "just works" in 2.7 is that it does ... until it doesn't, and when it doesn't, it's often way harder to resolve.

If you're only using the original ASCII (ordinals 0-127), all is well, and the py3 distinction between strings and bytes seems to get in the way. But as soon as you have a single character in your input or data which is not ASCII, a lot of things stop working and it isn't even clear why, or how to fix it -- often, the error comes from a library-within-a-library-within-a-library, which did some manipulation that (wrongly) assumed some encoding or its properties.
I've found that the built-in tkinter lib is good enough for basic GUIs that you might use on a utility.

I'm getting closer to OK after breaking that stigma.

I'd been working hard to maintain the appearance of being OK for many years, not even letting my support network know I was struggling...finally came clean with them and they've been nothing but supportive. Towards the end there, a lot of the stress had been just in keeping up appearances, which was stupid!

Also, OP, feedback for your friend who built the site - site scrolling is sticky on Android. I can scroll normally for a couple seconds until some JS loads and pins the menu at the top, then I can't scroll anymore. Suggest you stop messing with the scroll bar.

Yes! Came here to say this. The f*ckery is indeed that. The near-miss makes it addictive. Logic and learning has nothing to do with it.

A Functional Reboot for Deep Learning - Conal Elliott - Bob Summer 2019
It would be great to use that kind of language in software development, I think it would avoid a lot of bugs and discussions between QAs and developers.
If we could reasonably harvest the energy of gamma rays, it could also significantly improve the efficiency of nuclear power plants, and maybe even make fusion plants somehow feasible.
It's also extremely common to float false information through "anonymous government officials."
Quora click bait. A dull and benighted article that adds nothing to the discussion.

Seriously Apple, Siri is awful in its current form.
Correct, which is why it is oppo laundering, as opposed to just a hit piece.
These fees are remarkably short-sighted. We're in a climate emergency and we need massive adoption of electric vehicles powered by clean electricity as soon as possible. Anything that gets in the way of that goal, especially in the next 10 years, is contributing to our demise.

Basically if you're getting a new car, it needs to be electric, and we'll let the energy companies catch up.

I'd love to hear from some insiders how all these non standard outputs get decided inside MS. I can imagine a lot of scenarios based on experience and just thinking it out but I'd love to hear the real story.
Yes, doing really well! Managed to do tons of things so far in my life.
Show me the K&R spec? Oh wait, there isn't one, hence why ANSI C came up with one. And that spec defined the standard library too, back in the 80s.

Fortran has always had differences between implementations to where you're generally writing for a specific compiler.

PL/I evolved to PL/S, PL/SS II, PL/AS, and now PL/X with multiple breaking changes in each step.

This isn't sone religious war defending C, you're just mistaken about how programming languages evolve over time.
It’s a common sentiment to want to control how poor people spend their money. But studies have shown that cash is often best and we can maximize welfare by letting people choose how to spend their money.

> Effectively you're making tourism more robust in the area, because it becomes the main source of value for what you can do there

Not necessarily. For example, a hotel tax could be redistributive: you can take some of the excess value which would only be enjoyed by the business owner and use it to increase the standard of living for the rest of the population in any number of ways (better schools, better roads etc). Also you're making it a bit more expensive to operate that business, so you're putting a thumb on the scale in favor of non-touristic businesses.
What if you accept a Lyft ride before youve completed your Uber ride?

Im not even making the argument that they are employees or contractors, I am more saying that drivers are consumers of Ubers matching service, and that there is some accuracy in viewing Uber as a matchmaking service and payment facilitator.
Wow, thanks! I used a can of air, almost no dust at all came out, but it's fixed. So silly! Thank you very much! Now I'm likely gonna hold off for another year with upgrading from my 6S.
Handling Objections: Static Analysis Will Take Up Part of Working Time
Property taxes in California are miniscule. Mortgages are only as high as they are because people assume they can extract ridiculous rents from tenants, so this is a self-made problem that should go away with sufficiently stringent rent control. The other bills do not vary significantly enough from city to city to justify the absurd rent differences between them.

So no, I'm not assuming anything of the sort. Beyond that, landlords are extremely notorious for spending much less money on repairs than they should and saddling their tenants with the bills.
I'm not the OP, but I feel I'm in a place where this would be helpful to me, if you are open to that.
Closer, and that would help but not change the fundamental problem of who controls the means of production. I think you'll lose in the end, as we see today. You could just remove the tension of the employer-employee imbalance altogether.

I'd advocate for public funding of loans for worker owned co-ops. 1 employee/owner = 1 share = 1 vote. Vote on wages, vote on bosses, run it like a democracy. Once people have democracy in their workplace, they'll finally demand it out of our government. Businesses will still fail, some will still survive, but ultimately the proven business models (most businesses) should have this more equitable distribution of profits. There's no reason the 7-Eleven should be hauling profits back to Japan, the employees can own and operate local variants and keep the money in the community.

This is how I personally plan on making the world a better place whether I'm a millionaire or have nothing. Organizing and start at least 1 worker-owned cooperative before I die. It's something most of us are capable of doing that truly improves the world where it counts (happiness which comes from a sense of control over your own destiny, and money which the latter equals food and housing).
I'm with you, and I feel the same about 'unlockable' junk in multiplayer games. It's one of the many trends that I cite as a reason I don't play competitive online multiplayer anymore.
I'm definitely OK. Compared to most of the world, I'm doing fantastic, and that's a thought that usually keeps me afloat when I'm not feeling so great. My work could be too stressful to manage, or I could get fired, and I'd still be OK because I have my freedoms in a wealthy part of the world and have a support structure that keeps me from hitting rock bottom if i choose to use it.

Things could definitely be better, but I'm working on changing that. It may mean leaving tech almost entirely. It can be a lonely place, plus it's full of arrogance and anal retentiveness and I've never completely fit in with it. (not saying I don't have my own share of arrogance) But I don't feel too bad about it because I don't have a sense of being trapped. I think a lot of people aren't OK because they feel trapped in whatever it is they are doing. I wasn't always a happy person, but I've found that having a mindset of "I can get out of this trap" has helped me in being a more positive person.

I hope all y'all who aren't OK do get OK. :)
I think people are moving to discord as a stop-gap because they place user experience above everything else.

There's a lot of alternatives, but until they provide a good user experience, I don't see a point in purposefully making peoples' lives suck.

I'm confident that alternative's to discord will get better with time, but they're really not there yet.
Immer looks awesome but we're relying on Immutablejs shallow object comparison to stop rendering React components when not needed. When I last checked I could not figure out how to achieve the same thing with Immer.

Do you know some reference that addresses this?

And if we're here an additional question: since our store data is currently composed of deep immutable JS data structures, do you know of a way to slowly migrate to Immer?

I've tried to move parts of the store to Immer, but since the root store obejcts are still Immutable js objects, this didn't go well.
Light Phone II
Given the booming demand and restricted supply for homes in San Francisco, the market rate for rent could easily outstrip inflation by 3% per year. That means it would take a decade for a rental rate that is currently 20% below market rate to catch up.
The skyrocketing rates for services are directly tied to the skyrocketing rent increases. The cost of performing these services does not change substantially from city to city, or else landlords renting to people in cities with more reasonably priced units would not be able to repair them. The big difference is the cost of living for the contractors, which gets passed to the people paying for repairs--and by far the largest component of cost of living in SF is rent. Like I said in the other comment, this is a largely self-imposed problem.
Pretty great, but in my experience with a time where I was struggling/my boss was struggling/a coworker was struggling (different times), nobody is ever going to answer this question truthfully and everybody will think you're a threat for asking it.

list of things that in my experience may help if you suspect someone's not right:

* not eating alone

* eating at all, but the above makes it likelier

* when people give feedback that can be difficult, and instead of expecting the person to have an answer or excuse ready, build in time "off" with no f2f

* during difficult meetings or occasions where outbursts are narrowly averted, ask the person their opinion after. feeling listened to helps.

* if the problem is someone is working "too hard", 100% they kind of hate their non-work lives. They may actually also hate work but work is something predictable. Send them to a conference somewhere.

* people who have no friends will usually tell you so in exactly those words in the right circumstances. Believe them, it's a huge (huge!) contributor.
Market-wide price increases of 5%+inflation are rare; sustained market-wide price increases of 5%+inflation are very rare.

This forces landlords to do two things:

* When there is a sustained rise in fair market rent, they will need to implement that increase over time instead of falling behind, and then raising it all at once 5 years later when they realize they're leaving 20% on the table. This allows people being priced out advance warning.

* When there is a spike in fair market rent, like the 8-10% spikes of '14-'15 in the Bay, they will need to spread that rise over multiple years. Since this doesn't affect the profits of new units brought onto the market in response to the demand spike, it should have minimal if any effect on supplier behavior.

(And what happens when market clearing price does increase at 5%+inflation for years on end? Then housing will come to dominate the CPI, and the "inflation" term will more and more closely track housing prices.)
