Yes these lingering discussions tend to get buried. I'm actually surprised you responded given the nature of HN. I'm surprised I decided to check my comment history as well.

We disagree. I view rate parity as a form of price-fixing. I don't doubt the value OTAs provide to the consumer, but their value isn't sufficient enough to stand on its own without price fixing. Expedia knows this, and therefor uses its market position to fix prices and thus maintain is position. When challenged, which it has been numerous times, its legal team has been effective in arguing their point. I can't deny that. Perhaps my view is overly simplistic. I view someone telling me, if you want to sell your product on my site you have to sell it for the same price everywhere as price-fixing. Yes, its voluntary, but in practical terms its not because the hotel cannot survive without the OTAs. I won't weep too many tears, because the hotels could use their sufficient capital to address the problem. But, lets at least call a spade a spade here. If it looks, walks, and quacks. Well...

You brought up Amazon as an example of market indermediaries, otherwise known as middlemen. Are they engaging in price-fixing? What about ebay, are they engaging in price fixing? I'm actually interested if we can find a similar example to what OTAs do in another industry. I don't think we can.

You're not meant to immediately sense it; that's part of the point. The New Criterion was started as a corrective to supposed left-wing orthodoxy in lit/crit, and spent time as a house organ of (true) neoconservative, but was inherited by Roger Kimball, who I believe you can fairly sum up by citation to his non-ironically titled essay "Trump As Pericles".

It's close to a normal distribution one or even two deviations away from the mean, but real-life has way more samples appearing +5 deviations away from the mean. I haven't really looked into it ever, but this could be because of a positive skew versus a distribution with purely fat tails?
I agree with your conclusion in general, but you add in some very basic secondary checks and you won't get that many false positives... do they live anywhere near the crime? Do they have any motive or opportunity to commit the crime? Were they in the area at the time?
The only way you can run into that is if you have a three-day meth burner (so, no breaks where you can charge the mouse), ignore the three days of low battery warnings, and then use it right up until failure yet be outraged that you don't have 5min to spare (meth will do that).
What he means is "I have no idea what you mean when you say 'hard work'". Anyway it is probably not what he might mean, and even he means different things at different times.

The meaning he and we probably find most objectionable is that the speaker is really telling us that he or she has earned the state of privilege they enjoy, and that others who don't didn't. It is true that this is invariably BS -- they never work nearly so long or hard as any janitor you encounter. Working hard on your own behalf is nothing particularly admirable, anyway.

I have a half-sister who, with her husband, re-roofs houses in disaster areas every summer, unpaid. I would be happy to hear about how hard they worked, but they feel no need to tell me.

We're overdoing it a bit. We should have stopped about ten to twenty years ago. Already today it's warmer than it has ever been while humans were around.
They are building something that doesn't even need to exist. We can have fully remote work with today's tools that's _way_ better than the average office environment, certainly way more productive per hour spent. You don't need a roomful of GPUs to have it. All that's in the way is organizational inertia and managers who can't justify their own existence without butts in the chairs, herded into an "open" office like cattle.

This is right out of the premise of the book "Ready Player One" that has a similar virtual world called OASIS. Mark Zuckerberg is a huge fan of the book in general and It just seems Oculus is trying to create a similar world with Horizon launch.

It's one thing when the better police work is purely being used to catch murderers and rapists.

When it moves down the ladder to omniscience about citizen activities in general, it gets scarier.

No one doubts that license plate camera databases of citizen movements, Stringray devices, etc, can help solve a whole bunch of crimes. But they can also be used to crush civil liberties in the hands of an authoritarian state. They can also be used for petty abuses of power. So it is with this, of being able to attribute any genetic information left behind to the particular person it's from.

We have a whole lot of laws, and almost everyone breaks some every day. Very efficient law enforcement able to "solve these crimes" easily can be wielded against anyone.

It resonates with https://skyclerk.com/blog/if-you-run-a-small-business-park-i...
Staying in power is the first principle. Most of the rest is post hoc rationalization.

Look at it from a game-theoretic angle.

Your moves may increase your chance to stay in power, increase your chance to get to the power, or symmetrically decrease either chance.

You can choose to always act to increase the chance to be in power, or sometimes decrease it willingly because of your values.

At every turn, some players leave (e.g. due to age), and some new players with either strategy join the game.

I posit that the concentration of players in power with the "anything for power" strategy will be higher on average than of players in power with "sometimes risk power for values" strategy. With a low enough rate of losing power due to external causes (not the strategy), the concentration of "anything for power" players staying in power may become very high, up to 100% sometimes.
You are not going to get to your destination faster by staying closer to the car in front of you. You'll still be restricted to 90 minus 10 km/h.

Not that this is even a problem in the fist place, I've used dozens of cars with ACC, no Toyota in particular though, and all of them allow adjusting within almost armreach close to a long 5sec gap. Put closer distance in heavy traffic to prevent lane jumping in front of you and 5 sec for comfortable highway cruising.
> As one of the people who initiated the hidden likes test on Instagram, I can confidently and authoritatively say you're full of shit

As somebody who followed the stories about FB and it's practices in the recent years, I can confidently tell you that by now it is obvious that FB as a company is acting like a sociopathic entity. Even if the individuals working there believe they are doing good, the outcome as a whole always tend to look the opposite.

So even if GP is full of shit, it is way more believabe than what you are saying simply because fits the general narrative about FB - every single thing FB does is about exploiting pesonal data and human behaviour.
I feel the same way sometimes too. One thing to consider though is that when the overall complexity of a project increases these little things do add up.

There was a time I was a lucid dreamer too. I did it using a simple technique my dad taught me which is to keep a notepad next to bed and every time you wake up from a dream, write everything you can remember down. Then read what you wrote before falling asleep.

Within a short time, I developed full consciousness in my dreams. I was lucid and I could even reshape my dreams while dreaming, or reenact or resume dreaming from one night to the next. I would recall every detail in full during the day. Dreams did not fade away anymore.

After a few weeks I became exhausted with dreaming, and I started dreading going to bed. Even after halting lucid dreaming practices, to this day I still have very detailed dreams I can remember for days or years. The dream anxiety from going into lucid dreaming caused me insomnia during at least 5 years.

Mathematical notation can be spoken out loud. Hence, you can include it in a sentence without breaking the flow of that sentence.

For the more complicated equations, it becomes harder to unambiguously pronounce them, and the ideas are more separate anyway. Hence we need to break them out.

Moreover, I disagree that mathematical notation is a rigorous grammar. Notation is used to be consise, to represent ideas so we can work on them.
Precision is only added to resolve ambiguities that are hard to resolve based on the surrounding text.

One can make notation fully unambiguous, but that often comes at the cost of consiseness, and thus clarity.

This looks like a bookmark manager UX enhancement, and while I can understand a value of this being cross-platform, it would probably make more sense in a form of a browser extension.

Alternatively, I can see it being a "start page" sort of thing with support for efficient keyboard search, but again this doesn't strike me as something dramatically more useful than a static HTML page with Ctrl-F for search.

This basically solves a trivial problem in a somewhat overcomplicated way while creating a paid dependency on external service.
Well it doesn’t really suffice it to say. You can’t expect the reader to take your word for it. Wikipedia at least has primary sources that anyone can examine. Sounds like conspiracy theory claptrap.

It's not, unless you want to start a family. Then the whole vetting process disguised as "dating" is kind of important with significant life-changing returns.

Personally I decided I didn't want kids decades ago, it drastically changed the distribution of priorities. I, like you, simply can't be bothered with dating now. It's just not worth the time and effort, risk of STDs, risk of pregnancy, risk of crazy, drama, etc.

Having said that however, there is something to be said for having a reliable partner in old age when hospital visits and navigating the healthcare system becomes a regular activity. It's problematic to be alone in a hospital, for a variety of reasons.
>In perception you hit false positives/negatives all the time but appearance of the same issue on two-three consecutive frames goes to 0 pretty quickly.

If the frames are all very similar, wouldn't the probability of failure be correlated? In other words, if I feed a picture of a panda to a NN, and it incorrectly classifies it, why would it be correct the second time around?

As someone who has both used Gatsby and written custom static HTML generators, I do feel that Gatsby is far more complex than it needs to be.

> there's no way your "couple hundred lines of code" addressed more than a fraction of the real-world use cases addressed by Gatsby

Gatsby on its own doesn't actually do much. There are plugins to do most useful things. Here's an example: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-remark-prismjs/

That is the "blessed" solution for code highlighting. Notice how you have to install 2 different NPM packages, add a bunch of ad-hoc configs (which don't have API docs) then add a bunch of Gatsby specific CSS. Do you see a section about embedding code highlighting in React? No? That's because it doesn't support it (meaning you have to hack it with `dangerouslySetInnerHtml` if you want code highlighting directly in a React subtree, such as a custom layout for a homepage containing a code snippet). The alternative if you were to write a custom script would be to just take 5 minutes to slap prism.js itself in the layout file (which amounts to adding a link tag and a script tag - something a beginner HTML developer can do)

And don't even get me started on migrating from Gatsby 2 to 3 :)

Nobody fact checks anymore. All you have to do is claim to do something, or claim to know something, and smile and look good while doing it, and people will believe you. Why go through the effort of actually learning or doing anything if you can just talk and be a "thought leader?" Even better, find someone else who actually does things but isn't as slick and polished a personality, wait for them to do it, then take credit. Do that over and over, and now you have a "track record" of success, and you'll start getting invited to speaking gigs, offered membership on company boards, sought out as a mentor, all for doing nothing but sounding really good. This is the foundation of leadership and career mobility in lots of companies.

People can get used to anything. In college I got a glance at the totally normal cartoons my little sister was watching and I was horrified -- it looked like borderline body horror to me. But she thought that the cartoon characters of my childhood were equally creepy. (In retrospect she was right; Courage the Cowardly Dog was some really messed up shit.) In comparison, a floating cartoon torso is going to be nothing for an adolescent to assimilate.

Reading through the comments I get the impression there is a mis-understanding of what gatsby is. It might be my misunderstanding but ...

"Static Site generator" seems to be the confusion. If I'm reading correctly gatsby is more a replacement for webpack than for jekyll or ghost. You use it as scaffolding to help build your front end. The docs show it compiling react, jsx, using various plugins like emotion etc. It all looks like it's supposed to be a better webpack.

I hang out with a lot of queer/non-binary/agender/etc folks and "they" is generally the preferred choice for both people whose gender you don't know and for a lot of enbys. There is a very small set of agender people who would like to be called "it" but for the most part that's considered a dehumanizing insult, yeah - don't call anyone "it" unless that person has specifically said that's their preferred pronouns.

People have proposed [a bunch of gender-neutral pronouns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-person_pronoun#Alternati...) (scroll down a bit and you'll find a chart) but none of them have achieved sufficient usage to stop sounding kind of weird and funny to most English-speaking ears.

The thing that makes this work in Swift is the concept of Progressive Disclosure. One of the main tenants of the language is that it should be possible to be productive with a small, high-level subset of the language, and then you can gradually start to utilize the more powerful and obscure parts of the language as you find needs for them

> you can kind of make your own language within Swift

This is one of my favorite aspects of working with Swift. Because it's a relatively un-opinionated language with a diverse toolkit, and because of the powerful type/protocol system, it can really feel like you can carve out a DSL for each specific use-case.
Aside from the additional taxation and regulations in NZ, it does have some pretty unavoidable issues which drive up the prices of consumer goods. It’s a very small market, and very far away. Getting things there is just going to cost more anyway, and the market isn’t big enough to invite significant competition, so there’s usually a large (or at least larger than a lot of other places) markup on imported goods.
