I will admit I haven't gone researching for attitudes of people from the rest of China, and I'm rarely on any social media sites, so I haven't seen much except whats been posted in a couple of channels from a very few people in Hong Kong.

My two points of data involving Chinese residents visiting HK and commenting on the difference between the media stories they had heard, and what they experienced in HK personally, were the basis of my comment.

I am certainly aware that there are about 7 billion different opinions about this topic.
Yes it would be interesting to see if it extends to poorest 5% at least.

However I would assume the poorest 1% would be covered by social security.

Your general position that Americans often don't get a lot of vacation time by the norms of developed countries isn't wrong, but your choice of data is.

That table is 23 years out of date, and it was only for employees at "small private establishments", which generally means <100 employees in BLS terminology. They generally provide less vacation time than the overall average of employers.

---------

As of 2017, the average in the US is around 15 days after 5 years, 17 days after 10 years, and 20 days after 20 years.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2018/private-industry-workers-r...

Approximately 90% of full time workers have paid holiday and vacation in some form.

Also, to note the obvious: The norms for your average HN reader in terms of benefits are likely to be different (better) from the average person in society. I would consider 15 days to be an "only" in the part of the job market I am in.

As a CA you can issue certificates for other domains as well which might be undesirable. There are existing mechanisms such as Name constrained CAs and proxy certificates to reduce this scope. While they were originally considered there are issues with them. There is no widespread support for either and there is no way to know whether both sides support them. DCs allow for a extremely minimal subset of what you might need to issue credentials with your own lifetime and it only affects you. DCs are cryptographically bound to the leaf certificate as well. A bunch of this is documented in the draft.

It irks me when a page’s minimum width is wider than my phone’s screen. I am still using an iPhone SE (I just did a warranty trade-in for a brand new one and I have no intention of “upgrading” soon) and these pages feel under-designed. The “floating” feel that comes from the page sliding back and forth as I scroll is not quite as bad as when the content is chopped off (e.g. elm-lang.org). The iPhone 5/SE dimensions are still available in responsive mode (at least for Firefox) so it seems like a choice to omit this use case from the design consideration.
Given that the pace of technological innovation cannot be stopped and all existing technologies have flaws, the alternatives are:

A) Accept that your language will change over time and manage it.

B) Over time, keep changing to better languages after your language dies out.

Yeah, I think A would be the preferred option.

I don't think it was a mistake. There were some intractably difficult, "rip-the-band-aid-off" types of changes that had to happen at some point. The PSF decided that 3.0 was the right time to make those one-time changes so that future migrations could be as small as possible.
They will need to raise wages above what UBI offers (which will be subsistence level to begin with, likely lower than the current minimum wage) or else offer other benefits.
Also interesting that this main example is also a violation of coinmarketcap's terms. They have a paid API.

There are some strange corner cases out there:

How We Built a Vectorized SQL Engine in CockroachDB
I think you're focusing a little too much on that one example, but let me engage with you on this regardless. Even after a person has taken all those risks and they are sunk costs, the activity itself is still enjoyable, interesting, etc., even though it entails minimal marginal or excess risk. Similarly, hugging your kids is an enjoyable thing to do, and not at all risky. Having kids is risky, but once you have them, hugging them is risk free and still fun.

I also don't really find these things to be all that risky above the baseline. They certainly don't pose much risk of physical harm. To your point, they do pose some risk of psychological or financial harm, but the same can be said of the choice to not have a child or not take out a mortgage. There are plenty of happy childless people, but also a not inconsiderable number that wish they could have had children and regret that they did not. Same can be said for people who rented rather than bought. Either way, the choice is risky, and you can't opt out of the choice.

The same cannot be said for climbing a steep rock wall or riding a motorcycle. These choices impose excess risk above and beyond the baseline that comes from living in a material world. It was my understanding that this excess risk is what you were referring to when you claimed that enjoyment requires risk. If that's not what you meant, then I apologize, but I'm also not sure what you are actually trying to convey, since this article is mostly about excess risk.

----

I can't reply to you, so I'm editing this comment instead.

> I disagree with your characterization of physical risk as being 'excess risk'

Ah, it is understandable for you to disagree, considering that is not what I meant. :) Excess risk is risk you take above and beyond a baseline required for a particular context. If I need to get from the bottom of a tower to the top, the risk imposed by taking the elevator might be considered the baseline risk. Suppose I decide to scale the exterior surface instead. To the extent that activity is riskier than the baseline, that is excess risk.

This does not only apply to physical situations. Social, economic, etc. risk can also be analyzed in terms of excess risk. For example, you earlier mentioned the decision to marry or not. There is social risk in either choice. Probably, which choice is riskier depends on your own psychological makeup and your social context. But there are probably choices that are absolutely riskier in your given society. For example, in most modern societies, entering into multiple social marriages at the same time would impose excess social risk. For more see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_difference
Scikit-learn has separate functions for sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression and sklearn.linear_model.Ridge. LinearRegression isn't regularized. From that, I'd assume LogisticRegression isn't either.

The sane paths ways to do it seem to be to make linear regression match logistic, or to make logistic match linear.

It's not bad to have options, but the defaults should match what most users expect. It's an ML library, but people coming to ML from everywhere that has learned stats (most quantitative fields) are aligned around a different meaning of "logistic regression." Is it so crazy to default to that? When you tune the model, you're going to change the default anyways.
Most people probably realize it. What we need is for the American CEOs, financial elite, members of government that have investments in China to invest in their own country rather than in a lop-sided trade economy that doesn't allow free flow of money back to the US.
The silence speaks volumes.
Gas stations make hardly any profit on gasoline. The margins on snacks, on the other hand...

Youtube or other platforms may not make strong profits themselves, but contribute strategically or operationally to the overall Alphabet bottom line.

So the discussion here is not 'Is Youtube making a profit' but 'Does Youtube contribute, directly or indirectly, to the overall Google/Alphabet enterprise strategy?'. In that case, it is entirely possible for major acquisitions to not appear to be 'for the money' but are still essential in driving shareholder value.

Given the question, and that “you feel there is more”...

I would say you are mostly looking for a “kick” to get going. You may already know what you want... or you don’t, but either way it is important to “try”.

The more you get “out there” the more likely you will experience things you enjoy.

My concrete recommendation:
1. create a list of things that interest you/goals/or skills you want to develop.
2. Take no more than 3 of them you want to try to do for a year.
3. Create actionable activities that you can do at least monthly (but ideally weekly) on those items.
4. Do the activities.
5. Evaluate yourself every 3 months, is there one activity that is more meaningful/enjoyable than the rest? Do you find one a “dog”? Either way decide to either cut or do more on any activity.

One other note: finding a community that want the same thing can help a lot here... at least personally I am more likely to get off the couch if I know someone is counting on me.

My 2 cents...
It also might not be.

Seems mostly civil to me.

Most sellers are just arbitragers and scammers. Yes, most. They add zero value. They leech money away from manufacturers and brands and the people that actually make things. They lie to get discounts then redirect shipments to Amazon FBA. They sell used, damaged, and counterfeit goods as new. And when a customer complains they say, “Contact the manufacturer.” They create new listings on existing items and say shit like “special edition” and “limited edition” to confuse customers and win the buy box when no such variant exists. They lower the price and jack up the shipping cost to confuse people. They are a disease.

Brands hate third party sellers and so do customers. Most people don’t even realize how Amazon works or who they are buying from.

> "Misrepresentation means putting a motor-generator between you and the Smart Grid. Misrepresentation means..."

All of that sounds exhausting. Some of it is easy... but some of those tasks would take over 10 hours to do. I've got a life to live. Plus, it doesn't really fix the problem, does it? Wouldn't it be better if we all took those hours to lobby the government to change the laws?
Git won because anyone that wanted to contribute to Linux had to use it.

I think you’re right but the problem is that this time it’s different: maybe the rights will arise, but for many people it’ll be too late.

Assume there is a privacy law enacted, all the data that was previously collected is still around. So essentially people around prior to that law are still somewhat screwed. It’s good for those coming afterwards, so eventually it washes out, but it won’t be like the FDA or slavery where everyone benefits quickly.
I support the banning of political ads on any platform that can be subject to manipulation an or have thousands of bots then go to work to support a side (not real people). Political ads are nothing more than money in politics. Make politicians spend that money instead on traveling to towns and having town halls, greeting people on the streets, businesses, and in as much in person instead. Have them earn it, not just sit back and have some marketing person create ads for them.
This is very true, contentment and acceptance are two more worthy goals to aim for. I find them easier to relate to and more fundamental.

My Yoga teacher used to say that it's useless to tell someone to relax, it's like telling them to not think of a pink elephant.

So true, often when I google news of a company laying off a bunch of workers, I then see the stock ticker and sure enough, the stock is up 10% on the news.
I travel nearly every week for business. For almost two years I stayed exclusively in Airbnbs. I was giving Airbnb as much business as one person can.

I had several truly terrible (even scammy) experiences in those two years and not only did Airbnb not refund me a dime but each time I contacted support I was not recognized as a frequent traveler who is used to the system and has great feedback from hosts, each time I was treated like I was some asshole trying to scam them.

Airbnb has a major major quality problem (not to mention the customer service). The platform has turned into a joke. Try this on for size, say "this Airbnb looks great in the pictures" to anyone with experience using the platform and watch their non-verbal response. We know. I wonder how long Airbnb can keep this up.

Lastly, the Airbnb Plus program is no better. I stayed in a Plus a few weeks ago in Milan and it was a dump that looked nothing like the pictures, even with different furniture. That was my second Plus disaster in a year.

After all the political stuff going on, every country began seeing foreign communication companies as a national security threat. Russia and China were early on this but EU is also tightening the grip. We had a good go but since the politicians got involved I expect the internet to become separated into regional islands of regulations.

Facebook probably had a dream of becoming a global political influence broker and sell mandate to the highest bidder but I think the people who control the guys with the guns are not especially thrilled to play this game.

>The biggest thing I've noticed is that recently (like 6mo or less) people are much more likely to down-vote every recent comment in your history if you say something that offends the median ideology. This used to Never(TM) happen but now it seems like even the most minor affront to someone's world view triggers it.

Case in point my comment about working hours in a totally different thread that was apparently offensive to the average. Literally everything else I said today had a couple up-votes until I dropped that one now they're all negative and that one's very negative. I'm not particularly distraught because the internet is full of idiots but it's kind of annoying when they try to silence your opinion on a bunch of topics not related to the one they disagree with you on.

One thing that I'm interested in is the politics subreddit. How is it that so many paid subscription sites hit the top of the subreddit so often? I've never seen the popularity of subscription sites, and the lack of objection towards a subscription site, in any other internet forum.

On hackernews- there are rarely subscription sites- and when there is, the first comment is typically how to view for free. Likewise with literally every other forum I frequent.

It's particularly interesting in a /r/politics subreddit that is fairly anti-capitalist
