Maybe we can just get bar code tattoos on our foreheads? It would be our own public key! Seems like this would make lots of stuff super convenient.
We are kindred in this.

I actually hate myself for knowing instantly what you meant by 'Classic', despite never having played.

And I hate myself for never having played, not because I wouldn't enjoy the fuck out of it, but because I let the fear of judgement from my social circle. Despite the fact that I don't really care for that social circle, I do care deeply what they think about me, and I let it determine my actions and what I allow myself to participate in.
That's one step forward!
I had my first kid when I was fifteen. I'm doing alright, but I would not recommend it! Later is better. My former boss had his first kid at 40. He would not recommend it as earlier is better. The sweet spot is probably mid twenties for starting.
I briefly used a free UK voip service which allocated you a real, geographic phone number anywhere you wanted in the uk. 01234 567890 for examine. Anyone - you for example - could phone that number, and my phone would be configured to use that company's service via username/password such that I'd receive your call. You'd think it was a regular phone call, and being geographic it would be free, or taken from your minutes or just normal if you were phoning me from another country, and I could receive that call anywhere I had data (and not necessarily phone - so i'd not need a foreign sim card if I were travelling which is the case currently) coverage. I'd have to pay the company if I wanted to place calls to regular phone numbers.

So I'm really suggesting something like that. Assuming it was a standard and the company didn't want paying because they weren't doing the whole geographic number to voip identity thing - they were just allowing the creation of an account. We'd be moving away from traditional phone numbers - the number/id could be a guid or long hash or whatever; nobody's going to try and remember it - it would be stored in your contacts like "dave smith" or "mum" or whatever.

Dare I say it, you could have a blockchain for this. Just to store the identifier. Not associated with any other string, such as a name or email address; just a way to ensure that the identifier isn't taken (so there may be a rush for cool ones but like I said, no-one would actually need to remember them) - that you're the first person to claim it.
I honestly feel the same way as you, but inexplicably without the suicidal ideation. I'm not happy, per se, but I feel I've hit a spot different from either yours or who you're replying to. I agree with everything you've said, but my emotional self just goes on for whatever reason. I wish I had some actual advice or something, but all I can really say is, I'm an example that shows, at least in some people, "situation" and "how the situation changes my emotional state" are partially orthogonal.
Founder here.

This is great feedback. My interpretation of the clause is that we can use services like Mailchimp to send you marketing materials for when we release new products and features. These would be strictly opt-in.

I'm not a legal expert, but I will try to come up with a policy that more clearly expresses that you will NOT receive marketing about third-party services and our only usage of these services would be to update you all on our new product offerings.

We're considering offering E2E encryption, but we believe that we can deliver a ton of value by allowing users to search through their messages and for us to efficiently organize and categorize your content. I think there is a middle ground where we can encrypt non-pertinent data, but still preserve metadata so we can provide some intelligence on top of the content you choose to share on the platform.
None of those could result in $thousands charged to parents' credit cards without a lot more effort.
That's nice, but it's a pretty big dependency to add.
>They turn prisons into businesses—the more prisoners, the better

Not only would you want more prisoners, but you will also be interested in keeping them as long as possible (i.e. no parole) and pushing recidivism incidents to its maximum.

A car can be parked on the street (at least in theory, I'm aware SF's parking may be less amenable), and has a high likelihood of being there and intact when you return.

Without bike-parking infrastructure -- ubiquitous racks -- bikes are far less likely to be found where left, and far more likely to be damaged, vandalised, and/or have components nicked.

I've lived where cycling was well-supported and routes and racks reasonable. And where not. For SF, hills, parking, and traffic all work against cycling.
It should take 415kB to store a million digit number, and the algorithm only needs to keep two of them. So, 1MB total to calculate a million digits of pi. I wonder if there are a lot of temporary allocations that build up until they get garbage collected.

I ordered the impossible burger because I thought it was healthier. I can't imagine I'm the only one. Their website and marketing insinuates its healthier too although as has been pointed out here in a very tricky way.
They top out at 15 mph in SF. I wish they went faster. I am a cyclist and usually maintain close to 20 mph (not counting lights). It's kind of maddening not to be able to go 20 or 25 on them.
A design system is one of those problems that seems really simple to both conceptualise and implement, but in practice is really hard.

I've attempted it so many times, and whilst I learn things and get a bit better with each attempt, I've never succeeded, or have only succeeded for a short time before things get back to being messy again.

The problem is the edge cases. It's just like writing an API, covering it with tests and being sure it's done, then someone coming to you with a new feature idea and you have to tack something on awkwardly or add a special case to make it work, just this once.

Fast forward a year of this and your shiny new API is now the legacy mess everyone wants to refactor. Exact same thing happens with design systems and component libraries. You can't design for the UI usecases that haven't occurred to you yet, and when they come up, your shiny design system likely won't flex to accommodate that.. so you just tack on that one thing :-)
My mothers comment was that it used to be a BA in English was a valuable degree because outside of a few skilled fields employers didn't care what your degree was in. That went away with the rise of business schools. If you want to know how long the rot has been taking hold on us my mother died 25 years ago.

I also think that the value of a liberal arts degree is better not gauged solely on balance sheet economics.
With trading cards, you can trade with your friends, or buy rare cards on Ebay. Since they're physical, there's no DRM.
With skinner boxes, most games don't let you transfer skins so there's no marketplace and the only way to get rare skins is to buy coins and gamble.
The original article title, "If Computers Are So Smart, How Come They Can’t Read?", would be more appropriate here.
Travel tends to decrease xenophobia and increase empathy and cultural understanding among those who do it. I worry that some of the use of environmental impact is a "concern troll" cover to call for restrictions is the result of more deeply seated xenophobic feelings.

Tourism is increasing because billions of people have been lifted out of poverty, especially Chinese, and now they want to experience what those in the West have experienced for decades with their disposable income. Now that the formerly poor have the money to travel, I expect more people complaining about the tourists, e.g. a big bus of Chinese pulls up in a small town, some kid vandalizes something or some people leave trash, and a stereotype that "these people" trash the town emerges.

(I'd also say Americans don't travel enough, less than 1/3rd have traveled abroad, and some of this ignorance bolsters American exceptionalism, because until you see how bad shape your infrastructure is in, or how good healthcare, health, and public safety is in other countries, you have no context to be skeptical of some of the crazy political assertions thrown around)

Martin, from WellSaid Labs here. We create life-like synthetic voices for digital experiences, products, and content.

We built WSL based on the premise that most TTS services sound too robotic and are not ideal for creative productions. With that in mind, we've created a library of AI voices for creatives to create content in real-time, with human pitch, emphasis, and intonation. Whether it be an audiobook, explainer video, or lecture.

You can test the editor today. I'm personally granting access manually at the moment, so please be patient as we do have a long queue. Would love to hear your feedback and general opinions about the service and space in general.

Thank you!
Martin
Valid point about the rendering: I wonder how often Emoji cross-platform rendering causes confusion. (then such confusion leads to something that is presented in court).

spoiler: no private prisons in Germany
State prisons and jails, at least the ones I've been in and heard about (was an inmate for the better part of a decade) are much more expensive.

Federal prison was progressive in many ways compared to the states.
I don't understand the fallibility.
Clearly misuse of string functions is epidemic.
A propagating INVALID string result makes it very clear there is a logic error and not an exploit.

I understand how one could shoot down implementations, but none has made a convincing argument about shooting down the idea.
CEOs want America-wide privacy law
Yeah. And that's bad. But it's not required to raise beef. See for example British and Irish beef.
Classic to see the correct take get downvoted.

If anyone's interested in actually learning about the causes of mass incarceration, I'd strongly recommend John Pfaff's _Locked In_: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L6SLKK8/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?...

In short:
a) It's not the war on drugs.
b) It's not private prisons.
c) It's not sentencing laws.

You could get rid of all of those and America would still lead the "free" world in incarceration.
This is somewhat ironic because I am served ads to visit Norway constantly

how do you like the Rev?
I don't disagree, but our current socioeconomic/government system leads us to wildly bad situations where we have privatized industries hellbent on extracting every last cent possible from disadvantaged populations (in every sense of the word) and then using that money to further their aims and resource extraction via influencing legislature.

It spreads, it's self perpetuating, it's sick, and it is a disease.

More like, the free market works great for certain things (integrated circuits) and horribly for others (prisons, highways).

Between that you have a range of things like healthcare, education, transport and postal systems.

Where you draw the line does correlate heavily with ideology.

Communism on one end and anarcho-captialism on the other.
> Why should people that just happen to be born in a third world country live a shitty life with no way out

What about someone born in a Mississippi housing project where everyone around them is illiterate? Or in some rust belt slum with drug-addicted parents? What about someone simply unable to get the mental health they need so they end up living on Skid Row?

Lots of people are born into very shitty circumstances, and if we have problems taking care of American citizens I don't see how you can make the argument we need to open our borders for everyone in the world born in tough circumstances.
Israel spies on the US and the US spies on Israel (and everyone else)...what are the news?

Personal domain. I haven't used it for much over the years.

The hosting is static pages on S3.

I wonder if there's anything I could do to avoid the domain getting flagged.

Maybe it's because the root page on the domain is just a quote.
Simple solution: don’t make building prisons an election issue.

Also, many politicians seem to like appearing to be tough on crime, and their constituents like that.
I am in agreement on there being a problem where you can turn money into legislation. That does destabilize the system through regulatory capture. Haven't encountered satisfactory solutions yet.
Are you sure it was Cover and not another source? Did you search in your browser, Google, etc? Was your existing policy expiring around the same time? Basically whenever you go shopping and don’t buy, an insurance carrier or agent can assume you bought elsewhere. Be prepared to get communicated to in 11 months. Generally the party you went to directly (agent like Cover or if you went direct to a carrier) owns the relationship so a carrier won’t market you unless you went directly. It’s pretty common for marketers to be able to target you those and many other ways.

Also, most (if not all) insurance carriers do not sell personal data and in fact go to great lengths to protect your data. It’s against the law in some cases or breach of contract between agents like Cover (which is probably why Karn is asking who you received mail from).

Disclosure: I work at an insurance carrier (not Cover)
How should the law have been written to resolve the problems with Article III standing?
Like I said in my post, I think they're grayer than a lot of skinnerboxes, but that doesn't make them clean.

My understanding is that the vast majority of loot boxes are the sole way of acquiring the in game objects they posses. If there's a CS gun/skin/whatever in a loot box, you can't just go out and buy that thing for money. Transaction behavior is fine to me. That's one problem. Another is that you don't "own" that thing, you just have permission to use it. That's slightly different from owning a physical object.

It's an aggregate, and there are degrees of bad design patterns.

Whole game for single transaction > game with DLC > game with loot box for aesthetic features> game with loot box for core features.

I see your point that CCGs are basically the analogue version of loot boxes, and I can't entirely disagree. It's been called "cardboard crack" before, with good reason. As someone working for a tabletop gaming company who's primary product is randomized miniature figures used to play games, I also am WAY to close to this one to think objectively.
That is a separate issue.
Yes, I'm also in favor of socialized medicine for basically exactly these reasons. Shocker, I know. The system works!

I grew up in socialized medicine, and you get sick, you go to the hospital, they treat you and you leave. There's no step 4. Why Americans continue to willingly subject themselves to these torturous systems is beyond me. It's all in y'alls control.
And looking at modern languages, I would say that C strings also lost, just latter, since none of them do strings that way anymore.

You are in an abusive relationship. Get out before it's too late (i.e. kids)
During Israel's founding everyone who was an established resident in the territories was eligible for and offered first-class citizenship in the new state. Local Muslims and Christians who opted-in have enjoyed more prosperity and political representation over the decades than any of Israel's neighbors. Many minorities serve as leaders in the government, military, and private industry.

Israel's neighbors were the ones who encouraged Palestinian leaders to reject both citizenship and two-state solutions across multiple deal opportunities and instead opt for waging an endless violent rebellion. And when the coordinated wars were lost and the time came for offering aid, resources, and immigration opportunities - neighboring countries offered the Palestinians very little compared to the opportunities that Israel offers. They did not step up.
They work, but there's much more friction and many more gotchas than node. The requirements file for example, doesn't distinguish between direct and ancestor dependencies, it has to be explicitly passed to pip, you need to have created and activated your virtual environment correctly, many python libs have fragile, c based builds. Node and nvm just work.
True but there are multiple levels of law "inertia", and stuff passed through congress at one point carried more of it
> When your net worth is too risky (for your personality) get more tight.

> When you feel comfortable with your number you can loosen up a bit.

I don't feel inclined to try this method. You've basically described how every highschooler manages their wallet. The system falls apart (or turns into a budget) the moment you have a single problem to solve.

Example. I have $10,000 in my checking account and a $15,000 car loan, so my net worth is -$5,000. Either I don't buy groceries this month, or I admit that I need to know more than my net worth to make financial decisions.
I'm not sure what the Spanish American War has to do with this?

> I wouldn't describe an expert's opinion as "speculation".

The person isn't describing an event that occurred, but rather what someone else would have done under a given set of circumstances....he is discussing something that literally did not happen (well, at least to his knowledge - if it had, then his speculation could be proven true, false, or other. But he doesn't know everything that has occurred).

It is necessarily speculation, my or your opinion has no bearing on the matter.
Ah, OK; well that paints a bit of a different picture: driving through some construction site which might have been in who knows what sort of disarray at the time, without proper roads and hazards/obstacles and whatnot.
1. We're not restricted to the Apple ecosystem. A majority of the world's users are on Android. There's a lot of evidence that the exclusivity of iMessage is causing anxiety and stress in certain social circles: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20715188

2. We plan to offer a very different kind of product than "simple secure messaging" (WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram). We want to truly capture meaningful, social interactions beyond just quick messages. I want to build a service that better ties in event planning, payment splitting, and location sharing into your groups. An experience like Google photos where you can build shared albums in your groups. One where sharing music and videos feels natural and you can have "shared" experiences. We plan to integrate with a ton of third parties to offer intelligence on top of your messages (restaurant ratings, flight tracking, etc).

3. We want to build a better platform on top of messaging. Plugins and bots are pretty useless right now. We think we can offer apps and services that live in your conversations in really meaningful ways. It will be strictly opt-in, so users are choosing which services they want to integrate with.

We're starting with messaging because that's the starting point for meaningful group interactions, but I don't see anyone else in the space filling the gap for the things I mentioned.
"[F]acists" and "concentration camps" are intentionally incendiary and do not promote a constructive discussion. There is nothing reasonable about that wording at all.

Yeah namedtuple is the standard thing now but it is much heavier and boilerplatey compared to e.g. a struct in Typescript.
Your response feels "black OR white" to me while there are nuances.

> Believe it or not, it is okay to love your craft and expect to be paid. It's not zero sum

I do believe it. Just not the majority of today's fresh-grad that has the attitude.

FAANG these days demand you to go over rigorous Leetcode and System Design practices (mostly having to do with high-level scaling architecture and not CODE level which where most of the craft exist unless we changed the definition of craft). Some people have to spend months training themselves in Leetcode because they really really really want that high-paying job in top brand companies.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I'm associating "craft" with writing code, learning best practices, or building products regardless the environment/situation. Not grinding Leetcode HARD problems trapping water 3D: https://leetcode.com/problems/trapping-rain-water-ii/

> In fact I'd say many startup new grads lose out on code reviews and architecture tips by senior people.

I think you might conclude that startups == mid-size companies like Airbnb and Dropbox? Feels like it's either FAANG or startups while there are middle ground of just about different size of companies with varying years of existence.
Tensorflow.js will probably add a WebGPU backend when WebGPU becomes widely available in browsers. But that won't by itself close the performance gap with native ML libraries. For that there is a new W3C community group specifically looking at ways of adding machine learning acceleration to the web: https://www.w3.org/community/webmachinelearning/
