Ask HN: Why is an email I deleted from gmail 3 years ago still on their servers?
As mentioned I deleted an email from my gmail account and trash 3 years ago, but kept a direct link to the original before doing so and have been monitoring it. It's been 3 years and that direct link still works. The email is nowhere to be found in my gmail account. This strikes me as odd and could possibly be used as a covert communication channel that would never get detected. Example send a bunch of emails between 2 accounts. Keep all the direct links to the emails. Delete all emails in both accounts. If anyone were to log into either account they would see nothing unless you had the direct links to the individual emails. Thoughts?
>Our designers seem more interested in coolness than usability. I think a lot of designers are big on artistry but low on understanding how to help people actually use things.

This stereotyping of a profession is becoming a cliché and is being rude towards a profession who has contributed so much to make technology accessible.

The example in the blog would not have been intention of the design spec, it looks like more of a failure of test pass when a new device (with different form factor) got slapped with bits designed and tested for another one. This is perhaps a good example of how 'fragmentation devil' is coming back to bite iOS now - which probably is not factored in Apple's product development process.
They aren't suggesting climate change is hyperbole, they're suggesting that the reason many people are able to dismiss climate change is because articles like this reek of sensationalism. In otherwords, in an attempt to get people to listen, they are turning people away as readers can pick up on the hyperbole and feel they're being manipulated.

If instead we spoke about the issue factually, to the point and without trying to influence people's opinions with emotional devices, more stubborn people might listen to the idea.

It's a shame, because if ever there were a real enough reason for an evangelical to scream in the streets at strangers that the world is ending, this might be it. But it doesn't work, people don't listen to the screaming crazies.
I hear you except that apple controls all the screen sizes and zoom factors. They know right off the bat what it's gonna look like on all the screens in the world because they have every screen this will show on... also if you forget zoom it's still only like 5 screen sizes: SE, 6, X, XS Plus, and XR.

How did they not test this on 5 different screen sizes, of which two it's entirely un-intuitive?
I'm fully aware of the supposed distiction. Feel free to read my statement as "biologically implied gender".
"Attention is all you need", indeed. Of course, our instinct tells us there is more to language inference than word proximity. And so results approaching or exceeding expert-level human baseline raise more questions than providing cause for popping champagne corks.

In Question Answering, which is also advancing rapidly with insights from transformers and denoising auto-encoders, but still far from human baseline. The ease with which these models can answer a sample question such as: "Who was the first human in space", demonstrates both their efficacy and limitations. Pre-trained on a large corpus of text, almost every document that contains the the name "Yuri Gagarin" will in its near vicinity describe him in relation to his pioneering accomplishment for which he became a cultural icon.

And for even more generalizable scenarios, such as "what might you find on a Mayan monument"? It becomes imperative that an agent explain its reasoning in natural language as well to enable self-correcting backpropagation of error correction.

Language may be considered low-dimensional relatively speaking. And sentence prediction across quotidian tasks manageable in current state-of-the-art architectures. But looking at how difficult it is to predict the next N frames of video given a short input example demonstrates the intractability of the problem in higher dimensional spaces.

As an English speaker with a US keyboard I would have a very hard time with قلب because I'd have to learn how to at least read Arabic and how to type it. In any other language, using say Spanish, using Latin script I at least only have to learn that importar in this Spanish language means include the library. In an Arabic language it'd maybe be استيراد which I'd have to memorize the whole word AND how to type it, which on my keyboard would be changing the layout and buying a sticker set. [1]

[0] Disclaimer all the Spanish/Arabic/etc words were pulled directly from google translate.

[1] Though Arabic is particularly rough because the shape of the letters change based on the letters around it so you have to learn that too! See: http://www.arabion.net/lesson2.html

This is an interesting and well-written post but in my experience for practical object tracking problems using a fine-tuned object detection model with a centroid tracking algorithm works well enough. Much more computationally efficient and you only have to annotate object examples rather than frame-by-frame object tracking.

I would have loved to have seen a benchmark comparing the two approaches to motivate the much more complex and labour intensive alternative ':)

Usability is getting harder, not easier. I thought there as a bug in iOS 13 that I couldn't turn the torch on or access the camera on the home screen.

I press the button, nothing happens. Go to my control center, and it works fine there.

Is it a bug. Nope. It's user error.

It looks like a button. It animated when I press it like a button. It has only one primary action like a button. But nope, you have to _long press it_ for it to work.

Semi-related: My biggest UX gripe with iOS is that the option to hide a picture in the Photos app is part of the share menu.

Those are such diametrically opposed interactions, I really don't understand the thought process that went into that. Usually sharing is the last thing you want to do with a photo you're trying to hide, and with the share dialog open it always feels like you're just one mistap away from sending it to whoever.

I guess with the "Duplicate" / "Slideshow" / … options the share menu has become more of a general action menu, but if that's the idea, they should really change the icon imo.

I dunno how many times I've had to explain this to people. Usage and grammar literally aren't the same thing.
It’s worth considering that although the absolute incidence of violence female->male is higher, common sense dictates that the incidence of terrifying and potentially seriously injurious violence is much higher male->female, which is why more concern is directed at it.

Then from the next paragraph:

That said, if you read far down enough in the thread, it's pretty clear that the OP has very, very unrealistic expectations about others' obligations to him, and very incorrect notions about how statistics work.

Anecdotal, however I find that in my lifetime I was/am able to 'move on' and forget about things such as minor disagreements between partners where they (female partners) have tended to dwell on things longer than my male friends. Could have been the same if I had male partners I suppose, although that isn't my personal taste.

Not just in relationships but even among co-workers I notice there is a lot more gossip between the biological females and they tend to bring up things like, "Do you remember when so and so did [Insert minor issue from 2 months ago]?"

To repeat this is just my observations from 20 years of office work and a half dozen or so relationships I had before settling down with the current love of my life.

The point of all of this, I feel is that to many people, the epiphany the article is making was quite obvious, although it is neat to see this quantified.

Perhaps he is demonstrating that this type of behavior is not wanted. Was there a bug report or jira issue? If not, why are you using company resources on pet projects? I believe this is what he is telling you.

You see that other devs have already reviewed the changes as a good thing. In my opinion this is the kiss of death for your case. Not only are you working on un-prioritized work but now others are as well.

Work on stuff that has been prioritized. Don't get side tracked on work that has not been prioritized. If you believe it is important work, submit a bug report or feature request and get it prioritized. Then you can legit fix it and get it folded in.

I know it seems petty, and I have been guilty of 'drive by refactoring" when I was a junior dev so I understand the temptation to "fix things".
Any papers to confirm?
> When the stakes are so high, where we are literally risking the future of the human race, I'd definitely lean towards the side of action and change even if they sensationalize some facts sometimes in order to motivate change in others.

I find this behavior deeply hypocritical and irresponsible. Worse, it is unproductive, because even a minimal sensationalization may trigger a lot of misguided (but sincere) opposition from climate deniers. Heck, even many rational people may be alienated by this!

As a matter of principle, I am disgusted by propaganda that contains falsehoods or exaggerations, even when it is for a good cause.

If you're put off by the $2 per user per month pricing for "Internal Users", then I'd like to point out their docs about Internal vs External users... https://auth0.com/docs/policies/billing#in-our-pricing-what-...

The key line being: "There are no technical differences between these types of users, they simply refer to whether someone is external to your company, or an internal employee."

Also... This pricing distinction is only noted on their Developer Pro plan.

So for building things that are intended to be used by external users or external paying customers... where you can make the business case for spending at least $0.023 per User per Month (Developer Plan) or $0.28 per User per Month (Developer Pro Plan) then its fine.

If you start to build internal applications and your internal business processes start to rely on your staff logging in using Auth0, then $2 per internal employee per month that uses those tools doesn't seem expensive at all.
If you need "men" defined for you, you're going to have trouble participating in useful communication. Use a bit of intuition.

People always want to have that "now draw the rest of the fucking owl" step automated without them having to acquire the skill and do the hard and messy work to make it happen.

It doesn't work that way, and I'm relatively convinced it never will, within my lifetime. It's an inherently squishy target that it's trying to hit, with so many unstated assumptions and constraints. Trying to auto-scaffold software is worse.

Everything is easy when you're at the hand-wavy wireframes and stories stage; all the complexity and stupid yet necessary, yak shaving is glossed over, unless you have a engineer sitting in to rain on the parade.

First of all, for the sake of clarity, most scientists differentiate between gender (a social role) and sex (a physiological characteristic)[1][2]. By "biological gender," I assume you mean, "The gender most often associated with the sex of the person."

Second, you should probably also know that sex is also not binary even on a cellular level and is much more complicated than most laypeople understand[3].

Those things said: differences between biological sexes are not at all controversial except for maybe a few fringe-y people on Twitter or reddit. You really shouldn't assume that the loud, anonymous people on the internet represent any larger group.

The actual argument from social liberals (in the US, where I live) is that there are biological differences on average, but that does not allow you to draw conclusions about a specific person based on their sexual organs.

There is also a long history of extremely flawed gender research in the social sciences, partly because it's very easy to design and conduct a biased social experiment that no one will ever reproduce.

Right like I said some build tool can improve your productivity wrt to some other build tool. But did it create any absolute value in the end product?

Let's say you first build your product with autotools and you sell it for X$ per unit. If you later port your application to CMake. What value does CMake create in the end product? Can you sell it for more than X$ on the basis of having been built with Cmake? Usually no. The build system created 0 absolute value gain. You can claim that oh.. CMake is simpler than autotools and will save some time in the future thus creating a gain relative to autotools. Yet it's not capable of generating absolute value added. In absolute terms every build tool can only retract effort away from the activities that produce the value, i.e.software features.
I imagine the prices would just flow on to the consumer. I would personally prefer water usage regulation, that's something we can pretty easily do since we already meter it to charge for it. If you just raise the prices, there's no guarantee it would actually lower water usage enough to help.

An embargo is when a source of information has provided that information to a publisher or other disseminator of information but with a date and time at which point release is permitted. Until that date and time, the data is "embargoed" and not permitted to be released.

It appears that the article is no longer embargoed though, and the slug wasn't updated; they just re-published the article.

Thank you.
I looked at the paper initially wondering whether their sample acknowledges the disproportionate number of men who murder their ex-female-partner, and, while not resolving that, I ended up finding that while the researchers record the type of breakup (substance abuse, personal problems, infidelity, etc), none of their quantified metrics appear to use this as a variable. I'd be curious to see how the outcome varies based on type of breakup.

Anyway I found this quote telling:

> there may be gender differences in the perceived causes of breakups. Women blame their male partners more often for breakups than men blame their female partners (Choo et al., 1996). In addition, women more frequently report problematic partner behaviors as the reason for a breakup, such as infidelity, substance abuse, and mental or physical abuse (Amato & Previti, 2003; Morris, Reiber, & Roman, 2015). Men, in contrast, are more likely to claim that they do not know what caused their past breakups (Amato & Previti, 2003).
Well grammar is agreed on. Usage is something we agree on. Don't disagree on someone on the basis that his usage is wrong. His usage is as worthy as yours.

Any issue important to more than a few dozen people will involve propaganda, falsehoods, and exaggerations from both sides of the issue. Simple fact of statistics and human nature.

Letting that affect your evaluation of the facts is a mistake.

that's what i meant by peer pressure. it is not corporate manipulation that drives me to use facebook, but the need to stay in touch with friends and family. or at least it's not direct corporate manipulation. for comparison, i can easily avoid google, because apart from google+ and hangouts nothing on google is used to talk to other people (and gmail still uses an open protocol)

so googles manipulation leaves me cold, while facebook manages to reach me through my peers.

and it's not just pressure in the form of: if you don't have that you are not cool, but if you don't have it we will not be able to stay in touch.

only as a group we can resist that and switch to alternative ways to communicate.
i have actually managed to resist facebook and twitter (but i use others that i'd rather avoid if i could). the only long term friend i am still in touch with is one who runs his own private weblog. i am pretty sure i could find others on facebook if i decided to look.
