> I don’t consider this in any way to be a dealbreaker.

Fair enough. But for some people it might be.

It is much more comfortable to perform video calls via laptop than via phone because a phone typically needs to be held in position manually. Therefore, I believe that most people would, if given a choice, prefer to use a laptop for video calls.

Also, people might actually want their video to have high resolution. For whatever reason. Even to show their facial flaws. Not providing them an option to do that, despite the fact that the required hardware is cheap and available, is an unnecessary restriction.

Finally, if a high resolution camera was included and someone would not want to use that high resolution, they can simply switch the camera to a lower resolution mode.
My problem is that for a lot of small sites, especially auto parts in my experience, will have an outsized shipping cost that totally ruins the deal.

One example I found recently was a couple of small brake light bulbs. $4.13 plus $14 shipping from a parts dealer or $5.75 plus free shipping from Amazon. Initially you think the price is great, it's cheaper than Amazon! Then you find out they have a hard time sourcing padded envelopes.

I think people just have different set schedules. I have no problem being up before sunrise, and hate having no daylight in the evening. It seems many people feel similarly.
POTS just needs to die unless they allow for authenticated CID.

One could wonder if this was some sort of conspiracy to break one of the most successful protocols in the world (or at least not update it so it dies by neglect) to increase profits by other means.
Can't you make the exact same argument for people using Firefox or Chrome? That malware on your computer might be able to get at your browsing history is a risk with all browsers, not just Brave.
> I thought essentially no one uses mini-A or micro-A, so I don't know why you would want that. I thought USB 3 was just about faster data. If a cable always blocks data, then I don't see any use for USB 3.

Presumably, if fernly wants a mini-A, it's because they do use it and that's why they want it. USB 3, I would assume USB-C was meant, and that becomes an issue of plug shape.
Interesting question. Obviously, a lot would depend upon the details.

But as a first guess, about 10 to 15% of my net income.
Brave is holding the publisher's monetization hostage. Again, my issue is not with the user but with Brave.
I've tried saying it on Meta, but that place is not great for discussion:

Newbies should help newbies.

There are lots of ways to incentivize this, but the basic gist is that users who are just growing out of the newbie phase are in the best position to be indoctrinating new arrivals. They'll have the most patience and understanding, and it's an easy job that shouldn't be done by super experienced users.

Most of this could easily be isolated to a newbie pre-stage too. Basically, a tutorial area in which new users work together to make their questions better so they can move on to the non-tutorial experience.

Personally, I'd filter these posts out by default, but on days where I was feeling nice I might go in and help out.

Worst case scenario: it takes some extra work from a newbie to get their first bits of rep.

Speaking as one of those people, dongles don't bother me in the least. You're absolutely right that many peripherals are prohibitively expensive to update just for a connector, but they're also bulky and usually already involve lots of other cabling, so adding a dongle really doesn't make a big difference. Plus we're all used to having dongles just to hold license data anyway (thanks, Pro Tools), not to mention the menagerie of adapters that have been a way of life for decades in the audio world.
I think it would be cathartic to talk to someone you trusted but who is now gone. There's been decision points over the last few years where I would love to have just said my thoughts out loud to my dad and just have him nod and ask a couple of open ended questions so I could get it out. No specific guidance needed, just his particular style of listening.

Clearly losing someone and being able to deal with it is an important life skill but just as we build technology powered aids for other situations, I don't think this would be any different
Education should be to make people think for themselves, come up with new ideas, inventions, better conventions or just enjoy life more.
Is it really that bad though. We like painting a negative picture, because we want the US to improve.

But on the human freedom index the US is ranked 17 alongside Sweden.

The US has problems, systemic and cultural problems that should be fixed. But your risk of getting shot in a mass shooting is low.
Why should they support holding onto SSH keys forever in case you forgot to write down your backup 2FA codes, especially when they've never advertised that they'll accept SSH key-signed artifacts as proof of identity?
I agree with the ridiculousness of it all, but to be fair, there is no such thing as a 2019 iPhone XS. It's a 2018 iPhone XS regardless of when it was purchased or manufactured, although that honestly just makes your situation even more ridiculous.
I'm not sure I see the problem - if it works and people are happy why not?
Cool website for a weekend project - what tools did you use to make it?
This makes me wonder: How does GDPR apply to books? Essentially what's happening here, is that GitHub is printing off a "paper copy" and putting it in a box somewhere.

You can't exactly GDPR request deletion of your information from a printed book, so I'm curious how GDPR applies to such physical archival mediums.
You're right, I apologize and need to stick to the guidelines better. Thanks.
chongli's posts really just seem like they are encoding their own superstitions about relationships in a backsplanation for why things are the way they are. It really sounds like someone coping with buyer's remorse for having wasted so much money on a ring.

I've seen people do the same thing with their wedding that left them $30k in debt.

I totally buy their reasoning for why they did it, but they lose me when they prescribe it to everyone else.

At least in the case of subscriptions I looked at:

1) It's a continually updated file, so if you didn't subscribe you wouldn't get new data weekly/monthly. Likely the subscription aligns with the data refreshes for most products.

2) It's a one-time fee with a hefty cost attached (I saw some healthcare data sets that were $100K+). You are paying for that in its entirely and just have data rights to it.
Which is why I write Elm code at home, but Javascript at work. I'm told the latter is the right tool because the company might have to hire someone to maintain it in ten years, and there just cannot be any deviation because any other language would make that ethereal future hire too expensive.

That excuse reflects very poorly on the planned future of the company I work for, but I don't think my bosses recognize that.

It's apparently less important that our applications are crash-resistant by design of the platform rather than the application itself. I'll admit I'm a bit of a diva with regards to available tools but it's getting really tiresome.
This is it.

I think AD can be used to train a DNN, the DNN in turn can be used to power an anytime algorithm such that you can have systems that can not only respond on different time scales, they are also robust in the face of sensor noise, adversarial sensors or broken actuators.
Cool - This new package browser is definitely "viable", in fact it's very nice.
The whole city doesn't have to flood for things to get pretty grim. As an example, take a look at Pacifica, which also shows very little flooding on that map, yet has already had to start demolishing buildings as coastal cliffs erode. Also, if you look down the peninsula, heavily populated areas start to look pretty wet pretty fast. That's not going to be good for the area as a whole.
I just carry a small Anker USB-C hub in my laptop case -- has two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, and an SD card reader. I must say, though, I've used it less than I expected to when I got it.
Yeah, we’ve been saying that for what, four years now? Time to face facts. Usb-A isn’t going anywhere.
In financial markets, expectations of future gain and loss impacts pricing today.

In exactly the same manner expectations that the future value of real estate may be impacted by climate change should be reflected in the price today. Even if the house I buy today does not flood in 20 years (my lifetime), in 20 years I will have to sell to someone who will have an investment horizon of 40 years from today (my 20 years, plus their hypothetical 20 years). Since that person may demand a lower price from me in 20 years, I should factor that into the price I pay today, since it effects my returns.

As a real example, I factored in expected flood insurance pricing rises on some riverfront property I purchased recently in Australia. The insurance price increases are driven by industry and government modelling to reflect tropical storm intensity and frequency and an increased risk that storm surges overlap high tides. Sea level rises contribute to the risk, but not in a meaningful level.

The end result was that my total cost of ownership increased by single digit %. I reduced my bid price accordingly to meet my % return requirement from the investment.

To put it concretely - my future expectation of increased climate-driven risk reduced the value of the asset to me.

Your confidence is misplaced, and your condescension is irksome.
If you live in a metro area with good signal, you can actually use a metal paperclip as a functional antenna. I picked up over 20 channels this way, no extra antenna needed.
Glad to finally see someone pointing out the obvious, that simple price competition would lower prices, and that Singapore does have a private insurance system that works!

You can only have two out of three: Low Price, High Quality, Universal Access. Europe chose Price and Access. Singapore chose Price and Quality, and they have done some interesting things to make sure that at least their poorest have no-cost access with a tiered system. You will have a mass wave of doctors quiting the profession if everyone goes on medicare, the reimbursement rate is too low to make any money.
Docker Hub, probably.

It makes sense.
This is a common misunderstanding. When models impact the world, what matters more are their outcomes and consequences.

A react component? Seriously?

Now, let me be completely straight and honest, if you need exercises in react, react won't be your career.

Do you know how reactive stuff are implemented in js? Do you know how those are implemented in C?

Can you implement them yourself in both js and C?

If you can do it, a component like a calculator is trivial and you just need to adjust the syntax and jargon.
If you can't, this exercises will just be exercises in memorization and shallow understanding.

What I am saying is to learn how to implement the underneath engine in low level languages, it is much more fun and productive.

Anyhow, your life, your time! After all I am just a stranger on the internet.
How to Save Money (6 Easiest Way)
It's a fair point. If the camera were better, no one would be saying, "It's a great laptop, but the front facing camera, at 1080p, is excessive. I can't believe they did that." So I'm not sure why there are all these people trying to justify a low-res camera in these comments. :)
The same is true for most fields of academia, the arts, or professional sports.

In fields where people are doing things primarily for love, they are willing to accept comparatively low salaries, crowded labor markets, and poor conditions to get a chance to do what they love for a living.

I am really confused. Are we taking this obvious joke as though it's a serious website making serious claims? Everyone seems to be discussing this as though it's actually real and not a joke.
You can't just come in here with "the literature has shown" in $current_year. Here's an article on a piece of the literature that clearly hasn't shown: https://slate.com/technology/2017/07/new-research-clouds-the...

"We found no significant evidence supporting the greater return received when buying experiences."

That was a couple years ago, there might be a meta analysis or actual replication attempts by now, but I'm not going to dive for them, just pointing out this bad discussion tactic of "studies show [what I want to argue for]" without considering the ongoing replication crisis.

Speaking personally, the most bang-for-buck is probably video games. I don't know if I would classify those as experiences or things. Perhaps it depends on the game's replayabilty.

Shoprunner tried to be somewhere in that niche, but it kind of has died down after the initial hype, I still see a few sites using it but the big retailers seems to be gone from the program.
What that page actually says is:

> Things came to a head when King Charles I came to the throne in 1625. In the first few years of his reign, the Puritans in parliament strongly opposed his royal authority.

> In order to maintain his royal power base and rid himself of those he viewed as his enemies, including many Puritans, Charles I took the unprecedented step of dissolving parliament altogether. The Puritans, probably quite rightly, interpreted this as a hostile act towards themselves and their religious practices, and so many decided to leave England and settle in the Americas, where they could develop their own communities based on their own beliefs.

That is, the issue wasn't that the Puritans were religiously intolerant; they were politically opposed to the king. That article doesn't make a case for your current claim (that they left because they were [religiously] intolerant), nor your original one (that they left because England was too tolerant).

Use Ctrl-[ for ESC.

Not only is [ always in the same spot, but you don't have to move your fingers off the normal keys or stretch. I was fortunate that a friend told me about that early on, otherwise I couldn't have handled VI, the stretching is so inconvenient (especially so on those old IBM PS/2 keyboards with cubic keys).
Or both! I'm always surprised more people don't think about this combo. Seems like a perfect fit with their strengths.
Nope. If I feed an NLP model a bunch of shakespeare, it'll "echo the biases it's fed," but it won't do what you probably wanted it to. A less silly example is feeding the system a bunch of wall street journal articles and then trying to use it on informal communications like twitter. The goal is to learn something that solves a particular problem. It turns out that the current methodology solves problems in a biased way.
> Option 0. block no ads, publishers receive all of the applicable revenue from their preferred network

Unfortunately, that is likely not an optimally ethical reference state for the browser. Navigating with no ad blocker leaves the user open to all kinds of nasty tracking, auto-loading, and general trickery. When taken together that shady behavior can be seen by a reasonable person to outweigh the benefits of maximizing revenue for the user's favorite sites.

Case in point: if I want to open a pdf music score from IMSLP, IMSLP displays an ad with the prominent text "Download PDF" in it. If I follow the ad it eventually prompts me to install a Chrome extension. Do you think it's wise to install that extension?

In general I trust that IMSLP is an ethical site-- after all, they've spent a lot of effort to ensure that nobody downloads a score that is still under copyright in the country where the user is located. Did they forget to check a box to disallow misleading ads for their site? If there's no such checkbox "preferred network" is quite a euphemism and the correct/ethical reference state for browsers is with ublock origin installed.

Edit: just to be clear-- 2 could still be worse than 1 depending on how Brave browser behaves. But for most practical uses of the web by non-technical users, your 0 is almost always a worse ethical choice than 1.
Only to find a packages.json file without a packages-lock.json file checked in, to make it impossible to restore the node_modules directory.
Not just Swift 5.1, but they also require iOS 13 because there's a rather unfortunate stdlib dependency. Technically they only need the dependency when crossing module boundaries, but they're restricting the feature completely anyway, I guess because they don't want to bother explaining "you can use 'some' on internal APIs but you can't use it on a public API without iOS 13+".
The first part makes perfect sense.

> That said I don’t often get asked for source code during interviews these days, so probably the ability to host the minified code for a demo would be enough.

I'm a little bit confused about this piece. Are you suggesting we host the minified code on our site + the demo? Because in the first part, I thought you wouldn't want that because employer should see this as a tutorial thing if they see anything on a third party website other than your own website?
CGI was expensive back then. Escape from New York (1981) had a "wireframe" city scene, which was actually a model city with fluorescent tape applied to the edges of the buildings. Cheaper than doing it with real computer graphics, and looked just as good.
But these attacks are hilarious.

Your question, rephrased: if technology can be used in ways I find psychologically hurtful, should IT BE ALLOWED??? xD

Canadian declares canoe travel as moving expense
Recurring expenses (i.e. the kind that will generate enough data to adequately train a ML system) are already handled pretty well by most businesses through traditional (non-ML) methods. Operations Research has been a thing for 60+ years. Businesses that don't handle their recurring expenses well now are likely to have organizational issues (e.g. senior management that ignores the advice of their reports on how to do things) that will prevent them from doing so even if ML is added to the mix.

The place where businesses get in real trouble (and hence would see significant value from better decision making) is when doing things that they have _not_ done 10K+ times before. Things like "Should we expand into $NEW_MARKET?". ML isn't going to help them with that, because there will not be any useful historical data to train them with.
I think this is more in the line of

"Si vis pacem, para bellum"

Its very important to protect the civilizatory process from fallout, as severe or black-swan conditions might swipe what we have acomplished so far, and history is full of examples of advanced civilizations that were vanished and we had to dig out from the mud slowly without a chance to learn, starting all over again from scratch.

The civilizatory process is fragile and is always menaced by all sides, all the time. Its good to be always vigilant and prepared to anything.

You don't sound like a very romantic person. There are other things in the world more expensive than diamonds, but she didn't ask him to buy her a skyscraper or Renaissance painting. Different gifts have different meanings, and it's no less logical than different words having different meanings. People associate specific meanings with specific types of stones, flowers, beverages, you name it. You can't substitute "I greatly enjoy the time we spend together" for "I love you."
That is absolutely nutty. 400 for some gimmick?

I wonder if what we'll see is actors being deep faked etc over by other actors. So of the new actors we will say, "He plays a good Pitt, but his Clooney leaves something to be desired."

People say it's a big problem but to date, having bought in the low five digits of audio and video hardware mostly from Amazon, I've had zero (obvious) counterfeits and very little defective gear generally, all of which was manufacturer sourced.

Maybe it's because I am Italian, but I am honestly shocked by the lack of empathy and blatant superficiality of some of the comments, especially given the usual insightfulness of HN.

There's the guy who's been to Venice "multiple times" who's explaining why it would be better if it sank. Another one had a conversation at a "dinner party about vacation homes" and how are a bad investment. The other: "Venice is Atlantis of the 21th century", and finally "they shouldn't have built Venice on 118 islands in the first place".

Venice is a real city, home to thousands of people that are currently struggling with the damage that all of this caused. Their businesses are threatened. An entire city and region is on its knees. It is a site of undescribable historical and artistic beauty, a treasure that belongs to all mankind.

Seriously, some of you might have been too deep into your ARR and TSLA and lost the ability to empathize.

Maybe this news doesn't belong on HN at all.
