It often gets it wrong, but that's the general idea, isn't it? You don't customize it by checking some boxes or adding some keywords, you customize it by giving attention to some results more than to others.

Obviously, there's the added layer that they aren't optimizing for your satisfaction but for your business value to them.
This, and say one day you need some serious surgery that costs 3 times what you paid in taxes. Socialized healthcare could cover this up to a certain point and nobody would come to you with a bill afterwards.

All I see in that link is a VERY vague assertion that some women have received “unwanted physical contact”, which doesnt really mean anything without specifics. That could mean something creepy, or it could mean someone tapping them on the shoulder, or a saleswomans obnoxious insistence on high fiving all the time. And then some persons quoted opinion.
Are you saying that we observe galaxies whose gravity is weaker than we anticipated from the visible mass? Then that would be very interesting news to me, and something that you can't explain with dark matter.

If you are saying that we observe galaxies whose gravity is weaker than your models for the distribution of dark matter, then that is an argument against your models, not for them.

The problem is that most of those SOV commuters are commuters because they cant afford to live in the city. I count myself among them. I would rather not drive, but public transport is too expensive and so is housing. If I have to choose between owning a home and driving, or renting for the rest of my life but having the luxury of a bike I'm going to choose the former.
Actually, you can become uninsured quite easily. Switch to private insurance, and then lose the means to pay for it. The private insurance has no obligation towards you, and the public insurance companies don't have to take you back, so at this point you're well and truly fucked.

> you should vote to make what they're doing illegal so they can all be thrown in jail.

What? There's a broad spectrum of things I personally don't like, or even think are odius that I'm not seeking to make illegal. The law is not a reflection of morality. I'm not seeking to impose my own value judgements on others (excepting murder, etc...), but the illegality of something has no substantial bearing on what I view as right.

What do you think the laws are for, out of curiosity? I assume you don't think they're supposed to reflect morality?
He oversimplified the issue. Phone companies don't make money through ads. FB/Twitter/Google make money by "getting into the weeds". They chose a business model with much more reward (hence much more risk). They're basically running ads businesses. You post about shoes, they sell you shoes. You talk about unemployment, they sell you a candidate ?
Gitlab/Microsoft et al have slightly less dependent business models that aren't dependent on ads (for the most part).

Corporations frequently embellish the truth. Let us not pretend we are so naive that we do not understand that this is the case. Care should be taken when talking about things that people feel strongly about, especially if those people are your boss.

These are hard lessons that everyone who works at a big corporation at a level above janitor has learned within the first year of working there, so to me arguments along the lines of "but they said it would be different this time, they promise" just seem ill-advised to me. As if you are sticking your head in the sand and proceeding as if you can't depend on your own good thinking.

There won’t be much strain as Glasgow’s population used to be much larger, and many commuter trains are practically empty compared to places like London. The city also has lots of central accommodation compared to places like London, and the traffic is nowhere near as bad. Maybe a bit of lifestyle change as people vary commute hours, and less driving as the motorway is apparently very bad at peak hours.

Source: used to live and work in Glasgow, have friends in council planning, have been back there and taken commuter trains over the last few years.

Here's a greatly simplified example. Let's say you're trying to calculate y = mx + b in your FPGA. You want this operation to run at 100 MHz. Great, you write the code, synthesize and implement. Uh oh, the tools report that your design has failed timing analysis. What now?

Looking at the output of the tools, they'll say something like "x to y setup time: -2 ns slack". That means your desired operation can't meet the 10 ns clock period; it actually takes 12 ns for all the logic to ripple through. So now what?

You can break up the operation into two steps. Let's say the multiplication takes 8 ns, and the addition takes 4 ns. In timestep 1 you do z = mx, and pipeline c = b. Then in timestep 2 you do y = z + c. This way your operation takes two clock cycles = 20 ns total in terms of latency, but you can maintain a rate of 100 MHz.

Alternatively, you could choose a slower clock rate, say 75 MHz, and have a clock period of 13.333 ns. Then you would be able to meet the logic delay requirements in one cycle.

Again this is greatly simplified but it's similar to what one ends up doing in real FPGA designs. At the beginning you're usually trying to achieve maximum performance. Then later on you add more features to the FPGA, only to find that in doing so, you've caused an existing portion of the design to fail timing, so you need to twiddle things around.
The outdoor wear companies have a micro-plastics problem. They tried to fix it by using other materials, but failed - the products were just not as dirt resistant or water repellant.

They can't drive by themselves, but can be driven in a car by friend or family, who will take them exactly to their final destination. Public transportation requires them to walk significant distance, climb stairs, etc, which is not nearly as convenient.

This article doesn't even try to answer the only relevant question: Are trades of this magnitude in the last 10 minutes before close unusual? The time leading up to market close tends to be the highest volume period in the trading session. These are big trades to be sure, but the S&P e-mini futures contract is extremely liquid.

It's an easy question to answer if you have the volume data. I don't happen to otherwise i'd run it myself, but the author of this article really should have before publishing this.

Even if there is a foul play of trading on unannounced news, this should not be called "market manipulation". That may be informed trading, that is not illegal. And there is no evidence that this was done by all the same actor.

Indeed, this single Trump lie briefly inflated domestic markets by hundreds of billions of dollars. “What this describes is, quite literally, market manipulation that constitutes criminal violations ...” commented George Conway, the conservative attorney and Trump critic.

This is just plain bad reporting. Yes, they questioned the expert, and the expert given them politically loaded opinion. For it to be market manipulations, Trump(himself, as mentioned in the article) need to profit from the action, at least.

Correct me if I'm wrong but these districts can be created, destroyed or redrawn practically at a whim, no? I recall some ramblings that Democrats might remove the district in which AOC runs because they don't like her.

There is a reason people who make actual strategic decisions speak as if they are eels covered in oil and it is to avoid situations like the one this person found themselves in.

> Google provided a space for precisely these kinds of discussions, so suggesting he should have known better than to discuss seems pretty unfair to me.

Yes, corporations embellish the truth (or lie, if you want to be that way). At this point, you need to understand this - especially if you work for a corporation that does as many questionable things as Google does. Everyone should be free to make their own decisions of course, this person decided to make an ill-advised argument at work and the consequence was that he cannot work there anymore.

Regardless of whether or not I believe this is true, "engaging in good faith" is not a shield against poor decisions.

That is, the ACID guarantees are only enforceable in most RDBMS if all your data is on the same machine.

Sometimes, if the voting methodology is bad.

The city of Yakima was found [1] to have violated the Voting Rights Act a few years back because they have a significant Latino minority and yet somehow no Latinos would ever be elected to city council. This is because every voter votes on every city council seat, and because the town's majority of white voters apparently has a preference for white candidates.

I don't remember what the solution was, I think they either split the town into districts, each with its own city council member, or used some kind of proportional representation system.

To escape the shit show that C and C++ are in their unique ways.
In my experience, one of the worst things was working on a proprietary 1M+ LoC codebase. Everything was so painful (despite the feats of engineering being put in the internal infra to support the development processes and the great team members I worked with) that I'll never go back to anything like that if I have the choice.

I'm also dissatisfied with some of the design decisions accepted into C++11/14/17/20. (Some were fixable and just plainly shortsighted IMO, but others probably not, due to the language legacy).

Don't get me wrong, I love learning from the C++ community (conferences, tech talks, blogs and checking out how open-source projects that I'm interested in are implemented), but once that I had tasted the power and freedom of D going back to C++ feels like a huge step in the wrong direction.

And also being not only a user, but a contributor is immensely empowering. A PR to the standard library, runtime, compiler or package manager can take anywhere from days to mere hours (depending on the complexity of change), while attempting a change with a similar impact to C++ would likely take anywhere between months to years. And yes, I can see the value of the ISO C++ standardization process, but it's definitely not for me.

> The ignorance of the implications of the SMD theorem

You are confusing different things together. Mainstream exists in a form it is not because Mainstream translates the Truth™, but because there are no better theories yet.

Newton's mechanics is worse than Einstein theory in describing celestial bodies' movements, yet the former was better than anything until the latter appeared.

I have a lot to argue against neoclassical economy, especially about its view of a person as a profit-driven (rational, as they call it) degenerate, or fondness of regressions in the mid of chaos.

Yet it changes in the right direction, behavioral economics appeared, regressions are taken with a grain of salt now, rational choice is heavily criticized.

The problem is that no heterodox theory provides both an axiomatic basis and empirical framework to compete mainstream economic science. What would you propose instead of Neoclassical economics? Nothing?

It's not ignorance to accept theory that is not always true, it's stupidity to omit theory without having anything better, as Lakatos would say.

As for ideology, I don't see such a thing. People in mainstream science vary from Joseph "We all need to follow Venezuela example" Stiglitz to post Austrians like William White.
Not native American, but grew up in a rural area (in Canada). My parents only got a "street address" a couple of years ago. There is a land location system going back over a century, but basically no one who didn't live on a farm new how to interpret it (say 98% of the population), and so it was basically useless as an address. The new "street address" is actually based on the land location, but it is formatted like a street address (house number, road name) rather than specifying quarter, section, township, range, meridian. Throughout my childhood, we usually just used a postal address, but in the last couple of decades, bank officials and the like have gotten more and more insistent on a physical address which we were basically unable to provide.

I am quite sure that writing performant code for current architectures is great idea. I am sure one can learn that skill.

My question is quite orthogonal to that. OOP lets you model your application in a way that somewhat natural. It's principles are well-researched. Resulting code is widely understood. It can be applied across many different domains.

I know no competing way to model software that comes even close to that qualities. Maybe I am wrong and data driven approach provides all that.
I imagine, as well as user verification (mentioned down-thread) that statues provide a known location to remove systematic errors from a users GPS data.

In my limited experience it's not been uncommon for a GPS track to run parallel to the actual track. Having known markers (that are small, and can be treated as points) means traces can be pinned.

Just a guess.
But (electric) bikes do? Yeah, you will probably own a car living in a rural area, but where I was from, when you went to the city you either switched modes (car+walk/scoot) or cycled to the city.
The group of people who really has no alternative is actually quite small. And over here, there is a small but growing opinion that those people maybe should live in the city in the first place? Right now they are making city life more noisy, smelly, toxic, ugly and unsafe for the city person on his cycle, and that basically for free. Is it really a right to exchange other peoples environment for your comfort?

You can turn off (preferably temporarily) the windows defender real-time protection (that's the setting name). That speeds up such things. That setting will after a while reset to the default (on) by itself.

It's incredible that people on HN, a technical readership, still don't understand why the energetic or computational "waste" of proof-of-work is needed.

There is simply no other known way of implementing a decentralized, censorship-resistant, robust digital currency. Without PoW you lose one of these properties.

Proof-of-stake doesn't work. It isn't robust. Eg. PoS cryptocurrencies can't resolved which chain is correct after a network split. There are many other unsolved problems. That's why Ethereum is years behind schedule in designing and deploying PoS.

Replacing PoW with a useful algorithm (eg. protein folding) loses decentralization (a central trusted authority must verify/sample who performs the work correctly).

Trust-based systems (Stellar, Libra) lose censorship-resistance.

A "dumb" PoW is literally the only practical solution.

If the social benefits of a cryptocurrency are worth the computational power, and if PoW is the only technical solution to implement it, then by definition PoW isn't wasteful.
