I think Reddit is one of the only places on the internet that mirrors the diversity and messiness of the real world - but that's not the case for pretty much all the rest of the internet, so people's assumptions and expectations are based on that instead. In the real world, when Gucci has an ad next to a drug gang hideout, they don't worry that they will have to explain to anyone that they're not associated with or condoning the drug gang. That's not the expectation on the internet, because most websites represent a single business or community, not an entire city worth of communities. So advertisers rightfully fear the headlines like 'Gucci advertises on far-right forum' instead of 'Gucci advertises in city in which far right people also live'.
This has nothing to do with privacy.

My own personal theory of mind is heavily inspired by David Eagleman's Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain. There he describes a model of mind in which a multitude of independent "agents" propose "ideas", which bubble up to our consciousness (the top-level agents), which pick some of these ideas according to some (to us) opaque key.

In this model, I imagine that many of these low-level ideas start in a non-language form, and as they bubble up to the higher levels of the mind, they get wrapped in language, as they are processed by consciousness. But since things are not simple, the higher-level agents can modulate the lower-level ones, and that's how the language parts of our minds can influence the non-language (emotional?) parts. I have experienced several instances of purely rational cognition imprinting into my emotional perception of reality.
Well football player Colin Kaepernick previously faced a lot of criticism for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racism, and Donald Trump said he should be fired. Colin then accused the NFL of keeping him out of the league due to it.

Although this is a bit different, because this happens on the field, whereas Twitter is more separate.
Daily standups are not useful to me, but having just a periodic conversation with who you work with is more useful that both just standups and/or just checking issue lists.

A lot of times, there are plenty who simply don't talk about the projects they are working on unless prompted. This extends even to JIRA tickets, which can feel like bookkeeping than actual work. For me, this tends to be a constant problem, but adding more layers of protocol tends to scare people more than anything. This can be like a fear around saying you couldn't get anything done yesterday.

With simple conversations where I can just talk with team members for an hour or so is more revealing that trying to answer specific questions. The important thing is not to cover each detail. Instead, for me, is just conversing about problems where we all gain more insight in what we are doing that helps a lot.
I am blocked by… Why the hell are you waiting until now to bring this up?!

...because, as the author of the article notes, developers don't like interruptions.

You can't have it both ways - either you can have distraction-free work time so issues like blockers have to wait until the next scheduled communication time or you get distractions when important things happen. You can't reasonably state that people shouldn't interrupt you and they shouldn't wait until the next meeting to tell you stuff. Those things are opposed to each other.

They've done an external audit, and I've studied the architecture, but other than that I can't speak for it's safety. But it seems legit in all ways I can imagine.

As for reliability and browser integration it's much better than anything I've tested prior. Works great on all platforms I use.
In the case of TIS-100, I don't think the challenge of the game is 'write assembly' as much as it is 'deal with the somewhat crazy architecture and its self-imposed restrictions'. I've programmed some 6502 and x86 assembly in the past, but it didn't look anything like a TIS-100 program, which is more like a ridulously simplified transputer network with memory-less nodes.
The worry is though, that under SE's new CoC, this would be found a violation of "no twisting language to work around the gender pronouns" rule.

Ad works differently than normal post. Even if your post make it to the front page, it will only be displayed once. Also, it mean the user either need to be looking at r/all or popular, or be subscribed to the subreddit.

Ad are display several time per page and will be display whatever subreddit the user is currently on.
cause buying upvotes would not work at scale and you take the risk to get busted for doing that.

The passage you quoted is under the:

> Achieving quantum supremacy via sampling

Headline and is simply describing some technical details of the experiment. This is not the author bringing any points of contention, there is no disagreement here at all, this is merely defining the criteria for how quantum supremacy is defined.

I highlighted his points of contention as a response to your original comment that said he is nitpicking, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21168813

His main point of contention seems to be:

They need to understand the D' distribution more by running the experiment on lower qubit configurations, comparing the experimentally sampled distributions with one another across qubit configurations and across multiple runs of the same qubit configurations. As it is, he says that they may not have even sampled from D'. The burden of proof is on the experimenters to quantitatively show that they did.

There were other issues raised, like Google not being quantitative enough with their claims of the gains achieved in their supremacy statement.

He also brings up a more general issue with quantum computing in correlated errors, which are described in more detail in his paper here: http://www.ma.huji.ac.il/~kalai/Qitamar.pdf

But it boils down to that qubit logic gates experience positively correlated errors, which unless corrected with quantum fault tolerance will have an impact on any result.

I hope this clears up some misconceptions. In general it is a good idea to use the principle of charity and try to address the best possible interpretation of someone's argument. This is true even more so when commenting on someone who is literally close to the top in their field.
Yes, I know that it's a continuum.

But this isn't about me. It's about my hypothetical religious person. Who might say, "she looks female to me". I'm not arguing that it would be a valid assessment.
Very interesting point. When you have senior guys that know the important things work then the importance of process, beyond some key staging points, diminishes. From a business and strategic planning perspective could this be some kind of a risk? There's the old "hit by a bus" (or just quits) trope of course, which is related to the "single point of failure" systems analogy. Then there's the management ideology of control, which can be subverted when individuals are on the critical path for projects. I also wonder how this jives with change management: If you have guys mired in the details around whom changes pivot, what happens when there's significant changes e.g. in personal life of these guys, or organisationally, or migrations to new architectures etc. I also wonder how putting individuals at the centre of a business jives with external compliance requirements such as ISO and GDPR ...

EDIT also recalling personal experience: What about growth, where you want to grow the business and bring new (senior or otherwise) team members in, but everything is vested in the idiosyncracies of a few individuals?
had to backtrack because of pressure from a dictatorship?

It's not pressure from a dictatorship that's making them back down, it's pressure from a big potential customer. The dictatorship part is both incidental and irrelevant to the NBA.
It's more like the writer was saying "nobody cares about poor people, but hey, if we say the victims are blacks and latinos... that's going to get some support from someone". Which is rather sad since being poor is bad for everybody, no matter whether you're black white or green.

They have also re-added frequent builds for many of the phones that Lineage had dropped - including the OnePlus X which I have.
Just "offering" DNS services is enough to not be telecommunications even if you may use a broadband connection without using the ISP's DNS or even any DNS (just IP)?

Wouldn't a phone company offering you a phonebook (or simply using the address book in your phone) or a broadcasting station giving you the EPG more or less fall in the same category?

> And that's why HN is only good for a very specific and narrow subtopic of the whole reddit universe.

Which is a good thing IMO. Not everything needs to be the next (or just another) digg/reddit/whatever. HN deliberately has a more specific focus than that of reddit, it is a feature not a flaw (if you watn everything to be reddit, then perhaps you would consider it a flawed feature).

> You can't even have decent political discussion here

Again, this is very deliberate. While there are some specific circumstances where significant political discussion is on-topic here, it generally isn't. See the very first section of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html for official word on the matter.

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.
Well, HN is an equivalent of a subreddit, not Reddit itself. There are plenty of subreddits with HN-level quality of discussion, and there are plenty of extreme content websites out there. Reddit as a whole is essentially a smaller Internet, dimensionally reduced into a discussion board format.
Yeah, I think the article actually mentions this subtly when it talks about "machine learning tools that recognize suspicious or badly behaved accounts". Sure that'll hopefully catch some russian trying to sow discord, but I'll bet you it's mostly to combat the upvote-farms, so their own offering becomes better by comparison.

Could you imagine the NBA making players apologize for posting Tweets criticizing Trump?

If Trump started an anti-NBA campaign that directly affected their future profits, they would absolutely apologize. See the NFL.

That's kind of like punching someone in the stomach, then later apologizing for not following the correct punching procedure and for not respecting their privacy by punching them in public.
There's a good reason why podcast hosts read the ad copy. Even if an advert is obviously an advert - if it comes from a trusted source it's still more effective. The adverts which are astro-turfed as real posts are more effective simply because they seem to be endorsed by the community you're a part of.
Perhaps they shouldn't be disruptive, but in practice they were a daily drain. I'd be happy to never go to one again. Now every day I can come in to the office, can grab a coffee and get to work. Far more relaxing.
I think he's just trying to avoid suggesting that if they don't release it all, it's because she didn't agree to it. If he'd said, "We'll release it publicly as long as Monica's ok with that," it could easily be seen as pressuring her to do so.

I agree @ stand-ups being useless.

I've been on both sides of them: to give information to managers and to get information from people I delegated.

Stand-ups tend to turn into a defensive justification for 'being busy', and distracts from the intended purpose of asking for help.

At my current job, our manager wastes more time interrupting people during their stand-ups to tell them that they are giving the wrong amount of info "that nobody else cares about", instead of listening or helping.

At my previous job, it was used as a way to get people in the office at a certain time.

Your peers don't care about what you're working on, they care about sounding busy.
I have a domain just for emails, so any mail sent to the domain goes to me, so I can just sign up for a site as hackernews@mydomain.tld or whatever system i want for naming stuff. I still get every mail to the same mailbox, but if I start getting spam, I know which site sold my email, or got hacked.

Unless you have a truly original idea that nobody who has given this throught stumbled on - it's not, and it won't work for all the same reasons that Mastodon does not work.

Those reasons are harassment, child pornography, and having to delegate censorship to moderators/people with way too much time on their hands.

You end up back where you started, with a clunky layer of centralized censorship on top of a distributed system.
Provocative headline. Absolute BS argument.

>Shout if you have a toaster that you bought less than 5 years ago, that is still working. I think they're supposed to start failing after a year or two.

I bought mine in 2015 and it works. I've never had a toaster fail either. I'm not sure what you're doing with your toasters.

One of my water boilers failed (lid hinge broke). My oven recently broke after 12 years.

All in all I don't have many problems with appliances breaking.

I think it's more survivorship bias to think that old appliances were better. The ones you see surviving are the ones that didn't break a long time ago.
Yup. I think a lot of people - even here, of all places - also don't realize that Reddit and other generic social networks (Facebook, Instagram) aren't like HN. They're like the Internet. That is, /r/programming is to Reddit what HN is to WWW. Child porn groups on Instagram are to Instagram what child porn sites are to the whole Internet. All those social networks, allowing for bottom-up group creation, are micro-Internets over proprietary protocol (UI) on top of HTTP, with free, unsquatted and browser-configurable DNS equivalent.
I'd argue it's almost the other way around. Ever since the internet got popular with companies it's mostly been very 'clean' in that most websites represent a single company or community and you could easily stick to seeing only 'approved' content. Now with 'social media', the internet is finally seeing the real messiness of the real world and places where all types congregate.
Didn't know that - thanks!
Reddit learned too late about the user generated content business: Don't get into the user generated content business.
According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Airways) it was 4,5$ in '55 (~43$ in 2019). The helicopter fit 15 passengers and the trip took 10 minutes. If you assume a ride every 30 minutes at ~half capacity for 8 hours, that's 16843=5504$ a day. If you can keep that up all day every day, that's a bit over 2M$ a year today. It's certainly not that much, but doable.
Helicopter is a sucker's trap. Safety is nearly non-existing comparing to modern planes.
Wait until the first accident and closure.
Ask HN: How did you make the switch to freelance?
Those of you who went from full time to freelance/contract developers, how did you make that change? There is something that is appealing to me about this kind of arrangement but I don't want to make the leap until have some contracts lined up. Curious how you got started.
"Commodity" seems right. "Luxury" carries another sense that I think is fitting, too.

> Except for management, as standups are a simple way of keeping psychological pressure on developers and squeezing every last bit out of them.

I haven't ever felt this kind of pressure from management in my stand ups. We very rarely have anyone from management present anyway. The stand up exists for the benefit of the team, not management. It is not a status report for management.
They also benefit from food. It may be a more abstract need to have privacy, but that isn't optional for free societies.
I find it ironic (for lack of a better word) that Android is based on Linux, yet it's the single largest spyware vector in the world. There's maybe a story to be told here about how an altruistic motive or dont-care liberalism or whatever contributes to its own demise and the enslavement of large parts of the populace behind addictive spam devices and into cloud dystopies, tragedy of the commons and all. But at least a discussion about Linux licensing wrt proprietary drivers and boot loaders, as well as mandatory apps seems about time.
Scale is unfortunately not the focus of the current implementation. We would address this aspect in the future releases however.
Considering the speed and memory requirements, following are the current considerations:
1. Hashing methods: Generation of hashes is quick (a couple of seconds on about 10K images). The tricky part is the retrieval of duplicates, which on the same 10K dataset takes a few minutes. (I would refrain from giving exact numbers since this was done on a local system, not a very good environment for benchmarking)
2. CNN: Here, the time consuming part is encoding generation, which, in the absence of GPU would take much more time (a couple of minutes on 10k images). The retrieval part is pretty quick, but requires memory.
So, at this point, using this package on a scale of more than a couple of thousand images is not a good idea when done locally. We would however, address the scale aspect of the problem in future releases. Thanks for your question.
Do you realize how big the kernel source is? No one wants to rewrite it to C++. Also C++ compiles slower and can be more difficult to read, depending on code style and features used. C++ is also far more fragile regarding compiler compatibility and sometimes spits rather confusing error descriptions.
One example of an effective barrier that has kept shit to a minimum is metafilter, where you need to pay a one time token 5 dollars to make an account. It's been around for about twenty years now.
The upstream DNS requests to the authorative DNS servers are unavoidable at the moment so you achieve a minimum of privacy invasion.

Again, it depends. A left fold might be fine (and likely will be). Lists might be fine (and likely are). I don't know anything about the size of your data, or about the business you're writing software to support (who knows, maybe you're writing a FPS game, or some real-time aviation software!).

At this point (taking into account the extent of your knowledge as you yourself described it), my advice would be to just use basic folding and lists. At some point in the future, if you observe some performance issue in exactly that area, you might remember this and think "hmm, memory consumption is bit excessive here; maybe I'll try a foldr instead", or "finding the intersection of these two big lists is a little slow; maybe I'll convert them both to sets instead?"
It is not at all irrelevant. In a fair economy (one that American companies mostly operate in), Chinese businesses, citizens and broadcasters would judge the Tweet and come to conclusions on their own. The Chinese reaction is instead forced by an authoritarian regime and has no economic merit.
Thanks! Maybe it's time for me to jump in.
Take how long you think it will take, triple it. Triple it again, and have a shitload of cash saved for the slow periods. Build your network first.
Oh, I see.

Apparently friends is problematic. Racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist and fat'ist (Is that an 'ist?).
It really isn't.

The former is redress and the latter is compensation. One of the great problems with the legal process is often all it can give is compensation and no apology, and often people really do want an apology.

The fear of being held legally liable for giving a simple apology is why various legislatures have recently passed laws that make it so apologies or assistance do not amount to legal liability for negligence. UK example: the Compensation Act 2006 s2.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/29/section/2

Knowing the difference between an apology, a form of redress and compensation is important because a process may give a person one thing when they really want another.
Really? I have never seen a Go program to misbehave while not printing some meaningful output. It is possible but almost no one ignores the error parameter. Yet I have seen many, many Java and Python software which quit after the first Unhandled Exception. So often that I consider exceptions as the bad error handling mechanism.
Well, as the disease of advertising progresses, Reddit too will shed all that made it interesting. It so happens that first to go are the people almost universally considered undesirable, but it won't stop at that.

> Could you imagine the NBA making players apologize for posting Tweets criticizing Trump?

You tell me. Didn't the NFL just drag a couple of their players through the mud for having the audacity to kneel in solidarity with victims of racism?

My take on it is that not making authoritarians feel uncomfortable - via exposing them to non-conformity during an anthem - is very important to the NFL. The only expression of politics it permits is a pro-government, unquestionably patriotic one. Which is pretty normal for a sports league.
> 3) how many workers there are per retiree

Rather, total production of workers per retiree. More kids from economically unproductive population segments, and more immigrants to unproductive population segments don't help future retirees.

It seems likely to me that political change is the mostly likely result from a future pension crisis: another government expansion of responsibilities for old age income and health care.
