Ask HN: Recommandations for geographic branch of data science?
Hi,
I would like to know what are your useful links, lib, website, place for playing with geographical data.
For example is there a subreddit dedicated to geolocalised data or to post news ?
Do you have some interesting algorithm, lib, tools for managing such data ? (like the geohash).

Thanks
And yet there is still a lot of news on Twitter and YouTube that are issued by Mass media organizations. Its not like they have no presence there as well. On the contrary it increases their reach.
did you read any Franz Kafka novels at any point?
This is exactly why I’m only faithful to FIDO U2F keys. Got a couple and ensure they’re safe. No one’s hacking my accounts unless they crack both my passwords and rob me physically... which at this point doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.
Doesn't the ASN tell you that?
Stack Overflow is doing me ongoing harm
The graphs talking about flight speed are pretty nonsensical. The distance is fixed, and they already graphed time, so the only difference here that wouldn't be measured on the previous graph is route differences (assuming they're actually using flown distance and not just straight line distance).

The comment: "he metrics from JFK indicate there’s about a 20% drop in flight speed potentially due to wind resistance, which makes sense. " Also shows a lot of ignorance. Air speed doesn't change based on direction, but flying opposite directions sitting in the jet stream definitely does.
This is exactly the kind of thing that needs to start happening to actually motivate the companies to stop allowing this BS. Good luck!

Also, don't have your life savings in crypto, but if you must, then please for the love of everything holy don't put it someplace where a SIM swap attack is enough to get it out. Irreversible transactions are kind of the whole point of it, so you need to be much more careful with crypto credentials than, say, your bank password or credit card.
100 mcg is to me a standard dose, and having done 1000+ mcg a couple times myself I can say that's a lot! I also had HPPD after a year or so of heavy psychedelic use.
Medical school debt isn't a major factor (speaking as an MD with medical school debt who doesn't even practice). Great to get rid of it, but I don't think it will impact care either way. A better target would be letting student's start medical school earlier instead of after undergrad, and letting them pre-specialize into surgery and primary care. As is even family physician's have to go to medical school for four years and _then_ specialize in primary care. I think that's absurd. They should merge primary care into medical school and churn out primary care physicians by default, who could then optionally specialize.

Also my wife is a Dentist. She works 4 days a week and does extremely well. If malpractice and costs were an issue for Dentist's in the US, they would work more. I know a lot of dentists but not a single one that works 5 days a week. And of course no residency required. Its got to be the best career choice in the US today.

As for firing people... I agree probably not. But most Hospitals _do_ run on a tight margin (like 5% or less), and the majority of their costs are staff.

But overall, if you've experienced the system at all, you know how utterly wasteful and unorganized it is. Its difficult to fathom a system with more waste, which is especially ironic since there's so many smart people running around. I think single payer, whatever the flaws, would absolutely be a major change in the right direction.
How do you know I'm real?
No, there are straight up lies being told and that is the problem. The belief that a well informed electorate is the best defense is turning out to be not true. There are a lot of people who will believe lies and they will really believe lies that are repeated.

Just because a politicians tells a lie in public does not mean we should allow that same lie to be repeated over and over again. Especially true of lies that can be specifically targeted to a very narrow audience on Facebook.
Did everyone forget that it was Comcast that was injecting JavaScript into unencrypted HTTP responses? I wish I had time to dig out that HN thread. It only makes sense given Comcast's lack of ethos that they would be against encrypted DNS.
OP here, disclosure: I worked with Monica for several years, so I know her professionally. Everything that I have read about this situation and how she was treated is appalling.

I'm judging based on young adults. Anecdotal, but none of my kids or their friends watch news on TV. They watch YouTube, Netflix, Hulu. Video news of any sort only in emergency situations (tornado, etc), which likely isn't sustainable revenue.
Yup! Python folks don’t seem to think it’s funny when I call the PEP-8 standard, with its 80-column line limit, “punchcard compliant,” though.
>> soil microbes transform it into carbon dioxide and methane

> rot

That's what the previous comment just said.

Decomposition of plant matter occurs in many stages. It begins with leaching by water; the most easily lost and soluble carbon compounds are liberated in this process. Another early process is physical breakup or fragmentation of the plant material into smaller bits which have greater surface area for microbial colonization and attack. In smaller dead plants, this process is largely carried out by the soil invertebrate fauna, whereas in the larger plants, primarily parasitic life-forms such as insects and fungi play a major breakdown role and are not assisted by numerous detritivore species.

Wow the blog host reads poorly then, when I read “self-managed” I assumed managed by the customer, not Hosted Gitlab. You might want to clarify that in the post..

I think we're witnessing some kind of death cycle for a magazine.

When I was much younger (say 40 years ago), I loved Newsweek. Maybe I was just naive, but I seem to remember interesting stories and good, even-handed reporting.

Then I started disliking Newsweek a few decades later. I tend to be conservative, and to my eyes the magazine seemed to lean way too far left, consistently. They frequently seemed to run articles I didn't care for, so my opinion of them slipped considerably.

Now this article tells us the magazine has been printing articles from Newt Gingrich, Ben Shapiro, etc. These are definitely right-side of the political spectrum. Was I wrong about the left-leaning?

It seems like some kind of fatal flailing. I think Newsweek has been ill for decades.
Ask a bunch of "under 20" people what TV they watch or where they get news from.
It is true. "New data show that extreme weather events have become more frequent over the past 36 years, with a significant uptick in floods and other hydrological events compared even with five years ago, according to a new publication"

Exactly. I have a pin on my account after identity thieves opened a bunch of AT&T and Verizon accounts under my name (thanks Equifax!). Since this happened I’ve been in the AT&T stores when I bought an unlocked phone on two occasions. The employees at the store weren’t able to do a thing until I spoke with a special call center on the phone and did verifications.

One time there was something wrong on their end and no one could do anything until the system to verify my pin was back up.
He clearly isn’t educated enough (not to be mean).

Especially if you’re going around with that much crypto always always remember:

Not your keys, not your coins.

Always store cold storage and set aside some for trading if you want. And if you’re trading, always use FIDO U2F physical keys.

Yeah, still, Zen 2 is much faster in OpenBLAS and is faster in MKL than Zen/+ as well.
Go ahead! That is great that you agree on this!

Also, people are more than just their gameplay in a specific game. There are storylines, and personal developments, and lots and lots of things related to players that do not have anything to do with who won or lost in a game.

If someone has politics as a big part of their identity, I don't see why it would be wierd to talk about it. Just like any other big part of someone's identity that has nothing to do with the game.
And they'll just hide their binding arbitration clauses.
I did not mention anything about github. I am talking about what you can freely do with any opensource software without being made to feel like you are breaking the law or doing something immoral. If you arent comfortable with people building on top of or making derivatives of your work, do not opensource it.
just goes to show how media narratives are often wrong. everyone for the past 2 years has been saying tesla is dead due to losses and Elon Musk's supposed "erratic behavior" (that is what the media labels you if you are successful but fail to comply with what they deem to be conventional social etiquette ), yet Tesla has consistently shown an ability to prove naysayers wrong. Tesla generates tons of cash flow from business operations, similar to Amazon despite large one-time losses and not needing to advertise. This is analogous to opening a Subway or McDonald's franchise and initially taking on a lot of debt, but the business of selling burgers is profitable. Analogous to a flipping a light switch, as soon as Tesla stops spending on cap-ex for expansion, Tesla will instantly go from losing a lot of money each quarter to making a lot of profit.

Also,Tesla can raise debt so cheaply and so easily, that its stock actually went up when it did a secondary offer. Let that sink in: Tesla stock went up despite diluting itself, which virtually never happens. That’s like being paid to borrow money, which give you an idea of how advantageous of a position Tesla is in. Tesla is possibly the only company in existence that gains value when it takes on debt. Just goes to show how media keeps being wrong about Tesla running out money being a concern. In theory they can raise as much money as they want and the price won’t go down.

Ford and GM need to spend billion on adverting a year to make people aware their new models exist, let alone want to buy them. Tesla gets free PR though its spokesperson and CEO , Elon Musk, and his Twitter account and its captive audience of millions of followers, which is way better than some crappy, million-dollar TV ad that 99.999% of viewers will fast-forward, forget, or ignore. And then the media is glued to Musk's twitter account, so anything Musk tweets out is amplified, all for free.

Tesla is going to go much higher. I think $1000 share within 4 years is easily doable.
No it is not. My pin is not my or my wife’s social. I was able to choose whatever I wanted.
It’s better than nothing that AT&T finally allows pins at all, but one thing that’s insane about it is every time you log in on the web there’s a checkbox to never ask for your pin again. It’s exactly where you’d expect a checkbox for something like “remember me”, except it opens up a huge security hole in your account if you accidentally check it.

Pins obviously have other issues that make no sense, like the incredibly low complexity allowed that would never be acceptable for a password. But even aside from that I guess AT&T also want everyone to turn their pin off? I hope they do lose a lawsuit and actually have to start giving a shit about pin swapping and make things more secure by default.

I'm curious as to how the plumbing worked in this system. Would seem difficult to pipe water in a manner that can rotate like this.
If you're into crypto, remember:

Not your keys, not your coins.
Why can't Tesla divorce their interest in producing electric vehicles from their agenda in producing autonomous ones? It seems there is so much call for the former and so little for the latter. I wonder why they've felt the need to fuse the two.

I, for one, wish there was an option for a cheaper Tesla without all the self-driving capabilities, much of which is useless now and will, I expect, become obsolete before any actual self-driving is commonplace.
Not too excited that you just doubled the prices, but the service is very good and I've found it to be much more effective than running locally. And you've also been very very good with personal replies to support requests. Congrats on your success.
What happens if the keys get lost or destroyed? It seems like a never ending problem.

It doesn't matter if one is a Democrat or a Republican. Such outrageous, baseless claims erode people's respect for the office of the presidency, and leave a stain on our democracy. I think as Americans we take our freedom for granted. We think it'll be here forever. And God willing it will be. But it takes work, constant nurturing and vigilance. In this country, unlike many countries in Asia, Africa and South America, no one is above the law - not even the president!

Out of curiosity Gitlabbers, have you thought about using an onpremises, self hosted product analytics/telemetry solution like Countly so that you don’t have to share PII data with a 3rd party? (disclaimer as usual: I work there).
> No photo is a “straight out of camera shot”. When dealing with film, you make decisions about how to develop the film, print it, etc. You can make dramatically different results from the same latent image.

Sure, and additionally some decisions will be made for you depending on the underlying technology (e.g. film chemistry).

By "straight out of camera shots", the person I'm quoting meant a natural or realistic style, where images accurately (if not perfectly) represent what the scene looked like when the photographer took the picture. That absolutely doesn't mean "boring" — photos don't have to be over-manipulated or -stylized to be thrilling.

The Senate is more necessary than ever in this age of unconstitutional and almost unlimited exercise of federal power.

The Senate ensures less populous states have an equal vote in our united (federated) states.
Indeed, listen to NIST:
[Out of band verification] using SMS is deprecated, and will no longer be allowed in future releases of this guidance.
For everyone else that notices that COCOM limits require both speed and altitude, the problem is that some manufacturers have implemented these safeguards with an OR rather than an AND. So it’s possible to get tripped up by either limit in practice (unless you know for sure your specific device implements this as an and).
You can get the ~$35k Model 3 which does not come with AutoPilot. It is an amazing value.
With that much money not using a hardware wallet is short-sighted.
> This is a big reason for the polarization on both sides - Twitter encourages so many declarations and steps one after the other in such rapid succession that we are sprinting away like never before.

I am becoming more convinced that Twitter is a net negative for humanity and for liberal democracy.

If you tried to come up with something g to tear apart a society, it would be hard to do worse than Twitter.
Get 2 keys, keep one in a safe place. Add both to your important accounts.

Then also setup TOTP, so if you lose both keys and have a working cell phone with the app installed you can still login.
Well, that I can understand. Save files are documents, as far as I am concerned (I used to back them up Just In Case while playing).

For RNG/permadeath games like Don't Starve, the save file better be safe.
I recently had some very attractive girl from Amazon's recruiting team message me about a position. So I clicked on her page and the "other people viewed" section of her page was entirely composed of outlier attractive women in their mid 20s. And if you click on those profiles it's exactly the same thing with different girls. Apparently they are running a modeling agency/ recruiting team.

Pretty sad that this works an definitely turned me off from responding to the offer.

I'd personally be more excited if a recruiter finally got Java VS Javascript correct.
I think you are missing the point.

The horrible magic numbers are outrageous because of the arbitrary nature of them. And for those of us who read the code we are supposed to notice that.

Hiding them behind constants would lessen the impact of that.
Even that leaves it in a crazy volatile currency. Adrenaline junkie I guess, assuming it really was their life savings.
When you say PTSD, would you mind expanding on how that manifests? Is it a low level constant anxiety, or more akin to sudden anxiety due to a certain trigger, or something else? I understand if it's too personal a topic. I'm very interested in psychedelics, but am worried about the potential negative side effects. Someone I know said LSD caused them anxiety once, and it lasted for a few months but eventually sorted itself out. Is your PTSD sorting itself out slowly? How long ago was your 500+ug experience?

Also you say you have some permanent overhangs; would you mind telling me a bit more so I know what to expect?
I have one at work/keep on my computer and one at home.

Some websites allow TOTP which is still safer than SMS, but if I lose one, I'll get another one while I use the 2nd.
I can't get the page to open but the title of the HN submission is nonsense.

Terminal is 80x25 because that's how big terminals were back in the day (for very long ago values of back in the day and for purely bandwidth driven reasons).

Pre-Mac (technically pre-Lisa) Black and White CRT displays which were made using then-current CRT TV technology which had just enough analog bandwidth to show 80 columns of 5 pixel by 7 pixel characters, with one pixel separation (480 pixels horizontally [edit added: those are US numbers, European TV's had slightly higher bandwidth but that's a different topic]) and most could only show 24 such characters vertically due to the 4x3 aspect ratio used in essentially all CRTs of the day. 24x80 was the industry standard for a screen of text for purely CRT bandwidth reasons. So why 25 lines? Because a few super cool terminals allowed you one extra line for showing status below a conventional 24x80 layout, hence 25x80 (vertical squeeze didn't pose bandwidth or pixel separation problems on black and white displays of that era). Terminal naturally went with the cool kid size of 25x80. No civil war bank notes involved, just the bandwidth of then-current generation TV display technology and a fortuitous coincidence that punch cards had 80 columns.

[edit added] Apple][ and other similar era devices had even lower character counts because they hooked up to color TV's which had roughly similar bandwidth but needed to spread that bandwidth across three phosphors per pixel so far fewer pixels available on screen.
This is the issue they were talking about, I hope it clarifies some things! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/growth/product/issues/164

> physical property ownership is a very anti-freedom concept as well, is it not?

I am sure that some here would agree with that. I personally do not.

> Intellectual property is no different than any other sort of property

This is a very extreme view. You are basically saying that specific numbers can be owned by someone.

> and serves the purpose of maximizing freedoms in the long run

I can't see how this is the case, at least as long as intellectual property is concerned.
80, yes. 25 lines, though, had nothing to do with punched cards.

And yes, physical card quality was a big deal. The early feeding mechanisms relied too much on the card thickness and card edge properties. That lasted into the 1970s.

Then, near the end of the punched card era, Documation nailed it.[1] They discovered that if you squirt air into the base of a card stack just right, you can make the cards separate themselves slightly. Then a vacuum picker can reliably pick them off one at a time. A neat little piece of machinery, far simpler than most earlier card readers.

Tim Pool is my favorite Youtube/podcast news commentator. He took the money he's earned and created a straight news company called Subverse News. They did a crowd funding IPO thing and raised over a million dollars in less than a day. So there's clearly a real interest in this kind of content. If I'm totally honest the production quality when the anchors are talking on camera is kinda like high school/college news, but the quality of the news itself is top notch. They've had the best on the ground coverage of the protests in China I've seen. And there's plenty of other great stuff too.

I think CNN and their ilk have really screwed up by creating these multi-million dollar green screen sets, they focused too much on that infotainment stuff instead of the news.

I guess you can call most cryptocurrencies volatile but some like BTC and ETH have so much marketcap that it's getting a bit better. Some people truly believe in crypto (and even institutions are... they store in Bakkt) and I guess you have to respect that (pretty sure they understand the risk as well).
