It's simply what happens when you have a military industrial complex and people are more scared of being nuked or invaded by Russians than their infrastructures being taken over by privates (hospitals, schools, transport etc. etc.)

Fares of MTA are higher than those of ATM in Milan, the service in Milan is excellent and it covers the operating costs through fares.

They are so good that have also built and now maintain the subway of the city of Copenhagen and over 100 buses and train lines in the province of Milan.

Prices are super regulated and recently fares have gone down for long distance commuters and slightly up only for casual passengers (one way tickets, tourists fares)

The company makes profits that go back to the city which in the end benefit the citizens
Social media is best viewed not as Internet sites, but as mini-Internets spun on top of the real one. A company fanpage or company subreddit is the same as company site on the real Internet. A subreddit or community group is the equivalent of an Internet forum of pre-social-media days. The main difference is that all these mini-Internets are fully centralized, controlled each by a single corporate entity, and monetized through advertisement and surveillance.
I think they meant "commodity" in the general sense of "something you have to pay for" or "something subject to market pricing" as opposed to something always assumed.
Not everybody goes to high school; not everybody that goes to high school participates; not everybody that participates comprehends. We've had a suitable version of this, 1984, recomended for some years now. Only a small percentage of people however fully comprehend the meaning of the term "Orwellian", as evidenced by the popularity of many of the early Telescreen prototypes in the guise of smartphones, smart TVs and home voice assistants ...
Except async communication doesn't disrupt deep flow if done properly since it should be simply ignored until flow breaks or pauses naturally.

A slack message won't disrupt my deep work because I'll have notifications turned off, unless it's extremely urgent in which case it would be too urgent to leave until a standup anyway.
> Complaining that you can't have the political discussion that you want on a forum where politics is officially off-topic, is like complaining that you can't have the bacon cheese burger (with real pig and cow involved) that you want in the vegan restaurant you've decided to take lunch in.

Except this is disingenuous. There are political discussions found here, but one side is generally downvoted.
vPN is very popular in China? In what range? Thousands of users? Hundreds of thousands? Dozens of millions? Hundreds of millions? The scale matters completely for the discussion.

And brainwashing does not start with the internet. education is a major source of brainwashing and do not discount mass media either which still shapes culture even in hyper connected countries like the US.

Brainwashing works, its not even a remotely disputable claim, we have had two large countries going thru major brainwashing efforts in the 20th century with the Third Reich and the Soviet Union and the results were very convincing in terms of how effective brainwashing can be. Not sure why you would discount brainwashing when China went thru the Cultural Revolution to basically make all dissident voices extinct or irrelevant.

Sports are businesses. Businesses, as everyone reminds each other constantly on here, are kind of obliged to seek money first and morality second. Unfortunate, but endemic to the system.

In the case of football, that means taking money from dictatorships to host the World Cup in unbearably hot countries in stadia built by slave labour. Why should basketball be any different?

It's not as if American sport has covered itself in glory in its response to athletes making the smallest, most respectful domestic protest possible about police violence.
I find myself somewhat bothered by the totally bogus chemistry in the opus magnum, and spacechem. If they could get the chemistry aleast sound believable it would be more fun.
I’ve seen standups with 20 people where 2 or 3 talked for more than 10 minutes. That’s not what it’s meant to be.

While I would also like to do the daily status email, I see value in doing a synchronized standup. It helps planning for the day.

Not all people are great communicators and I’ve seen lots of developers spend days on tasks which should take 1 or 2 hours max. Standups highlight these issues, but you need to listen and go to these people in private to understand their problems. And you should absolutely take up people if they offer to help you.

I tend to bring pen and paper to remember what I wanted to say and to note when I here something that’s relevant to me.
Very interesting, but you can greatly improve the UI/UX with minimal work. At the moment is a bit too cumbersome to use.
Sure, but it will not solve the problem that most people will need cars to get around.
yea exactly people use he or she because of your name and looks

if trans people change their name then people will just use the pronoun that goes with the name automatically so its specifically people who have a name that is not normal for that pronoun or visually look different that even have a problem

so its super rare for this to be a major issue to spend all this time even discussing it
Surely personal data is the commodity turned to commercial advantage? Personal privacy, or lack of is the symptom or consequence. Privacy is a luxury for those able to opt out, usually via wealth.
Don't really want to say because of legality of scraping, but it was a big one with convenient data attributes on the ingredient elements. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
My personal opinion on what I would avoid:

- FAANG / BAT: too large, I don't want to tell people that my work was handling validation of 17th form in Adwords extended preferences screen for Tier-3 partners;

- any kind of surveillance / anti-privacy tech, including all those "we help companies understand their employees better" and "we make workers more productive" etc, all kinds of ad-matching platforms, behavioral analysis and so on;

- generally anything advertisement-related;

- anything military- or defense-related;

- anything by ex-Wework and Uber because of how toxic work culture was / is in those (just IMO);

- sweatshops like Luxoft, Crossover etc;

- probably would avoid corporates like Citi, McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte etc;

- anything that produces cheaply in China and sells outside;

- would be very careful with anything invested by Softbank directly or through a proxy fund...

Hahaha, so probably starting a business or working for a NGO with a good cause is the only way.

"Singular they" is indeed well used, but it's not normally used when the gender of the person in question is explicitly known.

If you use "they" for someone who has specifically said to you "please use the pronouns 'she/her' when referring to me", you are being rude, not neutral.
Doesn't sound too bad. But can you elaborate on the last part, about retrieval requiring memory and not scaling to more than a couple of thousands images?

How much memory would you need for ~2000 images, how slow does it get, etc.

Its simple supply and demand. I am in eastern Europe (Romania to be precise). Software Engineers are paid 5-8x above median. Cost of living is low, so life is pretty good.

No guilt here. The industry is screaming for people. There are lots of companies here which hire you with little to no experience and pay you a median wage. Study/learn for a year and you're making 2x the median wage.

Don't feel guilty. They can make the same amount of money if they wanted to.
> conflicting self expression

Hm, yes! That's indeed a tricky part. My specific proposal oversimplifies the situation. The term "chosen mode of respect" is cropping up recently, perhaps an amicable solution lies the direction of mutually expecting and accepting each other's respect, and not assuming malice quite as easily.

All this being said if disagreements often escalate all the way to a CoC incident, that's a sign of a disrespectful community that needs more than just a document.

In any case it is encouraging that conversations such as this can still be productive in some forums, like this one.

Nice article.

We recently used t-SNE and UMAP in the field of radiation damage, for visualising the damage shapes (point defect clusters of different shapes). The results were interesting in many ways.

We found that the general layout of classes of shapes is more or less same in UMAP or t-SNE, so the global & local relationship argument didn't really work for our data. Since, the data was around 1000 points of around 50 dimensional histograms, efficiency was also not a big distinction. For us, real advantage of UMAP came out to be its amenability to work with HDBSCAN and embedding new test data. We are excited to use it on further categorising cascade and sub-cascade shapes (bigger damage areas).

To check results see the following:

- https://haptork.github.io/csaransh/presentation/index.html#/... : select the t-SNE or UMAP on left pane.

- https://haptork.github.io/csaransh/ : Go to last pane "Cluster Classes", click on a point to see the shape on right. Select between t-SNE or UMAP on the left pane. (might take time to load)

Why do you need to change your strategy every single day? Do your requirements change that fast? What you're describing is the point of the sprint planning meeting IMO.
FINALLY, a recipe site, which is not drowning in ads! How refreshing.
> You can't reasonably state that people shouldn't interrupt you and they shouldn't wait until the next meeting to tell you stuff

You absolutely can, and we do it all the time.

You didn't interrupt me by replying to my comment here. If I was busy working on something, I wouldn't have read/replied to this right now.

If I am working on something, it's highly likely that I'll be finished and take a break to check what else is happening in the team well before a morning meeting the following day.

If something is truly time-critical and deserving of interruption, then its a moot point.
How did you get through the first bit, is that simply a question of cash?
"Where's Dave?"

"They're in the garage, I think"

is common to hear, just as

"He's in the garage, I think"

Many will mix between the "he/she" and "they" in the same conversation. Quite often referring to their closest friends and family rather than pointed attempt to misuse a pronoun.
> Except for management, as standups are a simple way of keeping psychological pressure on developers and squeezing every last bit out of them.

Spot on. In many companies standup are used to put people on the spot and pressuring them to show progress and so on.

It's amazing how many people on HN don't realize that.

By all means, try. A warrant authorizes the attempt; it does not guarantee the outcome.
I've a different take. I use a voice diary app that I built (originally for hiking trips) - I take a picture of the ingredients, then record the cooking instructions, and replay this when cooking (the picture shows as background when you play the recording). I add notes about the ingredients, or tags to the recording.

It's easier for me to "listen" to a recipe and pause as needed, vs. to look it up. It's a more casual approach though - no constraint optimisation, or anything like this, but I find it works great for me. Also I can share a recipe this way with someone else by just sharing the recording p2p.

Isn’t that put on by the ostensibly non-profit FIFA? It seems closer to the Olympic Games to this very casual observer.
> known for provocative discussions and fringe groups

??? After the recent cleanups, there is basically only porn, video games and democratic talking points left. There is nothing even remotely provocative that isn't framed by huge warning signs
You can go to 4chan or 8chan, there is always some place for even more fringe opinions.
Yeah, this is a thought that occurred to me right after making my first comment. I guess the only solution reconcilable with free speech should then be that one educates the public about the difference between a politically driven site and a politically neutral one. Neutral sites can easily be identified in that everyone can sign up and contribute. Advertising on any site that resembles the diversity of the public at large, and where ads are not placed based on political affiliation, should not be amenable to accusations based on moral grounds. Neither by law, nor should it be socially acceptable. So this is an issue of public education rather than an issue of cleaning up the internet.

That fact that reddit is starting to delete instead of doing public education is suspicious to me.

Unfortunately StackExchange fell into the trap of trying to support social justice warriorisms.

Either they will fold or they will come to realize that the only ways to deal with users that are preoccupied with genders, religion, sexual orientations and whatever protected class they can come up with are to lose them or ignore them. You can’t go along with their demands because there will always be a new demand, each one crazier and more irrelevant than the last one.
A business is about covering development costs.

Hardly. It's just that there's a standard for quality of argument, which means that a lot of conservative nonsense gets shot down on sight. There are big conflicting "liberal" and "libertarian" factions, a lot of European social democrats, a growing pro-union faction, but also the gun owner faction and (unsurprisingly) a lot of "small business conservatives" and so on.

You can, for example, debate pro-vs-anti nuclear power without necessarily getting downvoted. You can't post straight up climate change denial.

You can argue that the stackexchange moderator fiasco was incredibly badly handled. You can't post straight up homophobia.
I provided clear examples that when nobody cleans up, Japan is pretty dirty in such places which basically proves my point that Japan is mostly only clean because you have millions of people who clean stuff every single day as their full time job.
I use Cython (CPU) to brute force 400,000 pHash's of images. It takes somewhere between 100 and 200ms to search.
I work in a fully remote team and our daily standups are one of the highlights of the day as we get some actual "face to face" time rather than just the usual Slack chat. I think it's probably a bit reductionist to use a headline like "Standups are pointless" rather than just "I've personally not found them helpful".
As quixotic as this all may sound, I genuinely appreciate this kind of candour about motivation. It's quite rare, more often to see these kinds of actions justified in terms of specious economic or technical arguments. It's as if people have become afraid of admitting that personal morality drives some of their decisions.

As Sebastian Haffner said, by raising the Jewish question, and many other questions like it, constantly coming up with new ones, the Nazis skillfully managed to evade the Nazi question -- namely, whether they should exist.

Megacorps need us more than we need them, spectator sports certainly needs us more than we need it. And you can't be friends with everybody, either you insult the murderers and their fans by calling it murder, or you insult the victims and yourself by failing to do so. It's not a game where you can join all factions by picking the right dialog options or having enough money.

> 1.4 billion Chinese citizens stand united when it comes to the territorial integrity of China and the country’s sovereignty over her homeland. This issue is non-negotiable.

First off, that's like saying all Germans supported the Nazis because the ones who didn't were dead or didn't dare to speak up. Secondly, it was about always about 5 demands, not secession, and those demands being met with violence, for months.

He doesn't want to be treated remotely like he, by looking away, is implicitly advocating for others to be treated, he simply preaches water and drinks wine, preaches torture camps and police terror and breathes fresh air.

> In 1937, Japan invaded China by capturing Beijing, Shanghai and the then-Chinese capital Nanjing. Imperial Japanese troops committed mass murder and rape against the residents of Nanjing, resulting in several hundred thousand civilian deaths.

Anyone who condemns that, but doesn't condemn what the CCP does, has simply no case, no standing, is the last person who should bring it up. You cannot pick and chose when you apply principles, if you actually have them. A just as valid way too look at it would be totalitarian murderers attacking innocent people. Yes, in that case they were Japanese, but if you support totalitarian murderers, that similarity outweighs what is written in the passport.

Last but not least, if someone in America said "black people are just as decent human beings as white people", and the KKK went apeshit and demanded a retraction, would you care how many members they have, or that they have guns? Or that they are so angry, so badly educated, that they can't be reasoned with? That's what you're going to throw away the few noble things humanity achieved in the last few centuries for? Not in my name, and not with my support.
In the UK at least it has a very specific definition relating to a population of voters living in a defined geographic area.
HN is very good for one focused thing. Reddit used to be good for everythng but more and more it's bad for everything but soulless corporate-friendliness.
I think most likely they are amalgamating Hong Kong and China like some people do on the thread here. And yes, indeed some Data Centers in China are a big source of spam and automated attack, but it just doesn't make sense to block an entire country when you can just block hosting providers.
Can someone explain to me or point to some studies or books that explain why brands, advertisers etc. think that having small problematic groups on a platform affects the brand? You are making an ad for group A and put the ad on subreddits visited by group A, is the "dirt" produce by group B that bad for you that you need to get rid of group B?
literally none of it does. what you just said is factually wrong.

trans is a mental disorder and never stopped being that. some far-left activists are trying to say its not but that doesnt change the science. calling everyone a "bigot" doesnt change anything either other than show people that you arent reasonable and put feelings over facts

Cars do not pay their own way. Tabs, gas taxes, and tickets do not cover even a third of spending on road construction, maintenance, and highway patrol... And that's ignoring the high cost of 'free' parking.

But since they are very visible, very direct taxes (And in addition to them, you have to pay for gasoline itself, insurance, parking, etc), drivers who have not done the math mistakenly believe that they aren't being subsidized.

Apple is a multi billion dollar company and you are saying they couldn’t find a C/Obj. C developer to take care of their own app?

Also, developers in their nature like to rewrite things. There should be a product owner overruling them. I’m saying this as a developer myself. Otherwise you end up in a situation where images are running the asylum.

Nobel prize in medicine awarded to hypoxia researchers
The "real mess" of society is different from what social media has created.

Social media has added a new dimension to complexity in society, by adding a number(upvote/click/like/view/retweet etc) next to every thought and utterance.

Those numbers amplify behaviors both good and bad.

People who say social media exposes the real mess, make it easy for social media companies to deny their contribution to the mess.

When they start removing like counts (and it's taken way to long for this move) they are basically admitting their contribution to the mess.

As data of the last 15 years gets analyzed, on the impact of these numbers on individual and group psychology, expect major class action suits against these companies.
Tbh that's what I think is great about 4chan compared to others, it's just has those very few and limited groups/boards, rather than infinite.
