Tesla has a larger share of the electric car market in the US than Apple has of the mobile phone market.
Claiming that Apple has a monopoly over the App Store is just as unreasonable as claiming Tesla has a monopoly over the Apps installed on their cars.

The App Store is a feature of iOS devices, if Apple decided they no longer wanted an App Store they could remove it entirely.
It is not reasonable to require Hardware and Software vendors to support third party Applications to run on their systems.
Vendors that do support this functionality sell it as a feature of their product, but this should not be a expectation.
Thanks for the gracious and, well, amazing reply! I still feel somewhat horrible for making such an "instructive" comment and feel like I have crashed into a beautiful thing and put my ignorant and greasy little fingerprints where they have earned no right to be. But it's such an interesting subject :) I hope I have been able to express the deep respect I hold for what you're doing. — I'll certainly be watching and cheering on the game's development! And will be preordering immediately when that's possible.
> Nobody wants to be bothered while they are grocery shopping.

They do if they find the guy attractive, though. The trick is you don't get to know beforehand. You have to take the risk, and the rewards, or (more often) the failure.

Google limiting and generalizing political ad targeting around the world
You may know of a few individuals who already knew this, but that doesn't discount the gp's word "typically". Most people don't know about it, period.

For those who do know about it, unless they have taken an Automata or Theory of Computing course, then they have probably still missed the point of this factoid, which is actually the main reason that this theorem is important.

A Finite State Machine is capable of performing many computations, but is limited in processing capability in that it has no memory. A Regular Expression is capable of expressing the exact same computations as the FSM, and is subject to the same constraint as the FSM and therefore the same limitations. (Of course, it is also important to know that the RegEx that is talked about in an Automata class is different from the RegEx that most programmers and SysOps deal with in practice).

The underlying (important) concept is that the process of validating the pattern of characters in any string is simply a proxy for understanding a computational problem. In fact, all computational problems can be represented in this paradigm (the validation of a string of input). Whether or not the machine in question can perform that validation is the purpose of the Automata or Theory of Computing class.

It's not sufficient to say "I know a fact." And simply knowing the fact isn't the point of the class. The reason for the class is to understand why the fact is important to know.
What patterns and what black SEO? I actually thought that their $20 for 12 weeks offer sounded interesting to see if I’d actually read more than what lands on my screen via HN.
Short of TeX/LaTeX, I can put up with a Google docs paper.

I absolutely cannot stand a MS-Word paper. It's crippling.
That's fair. I hear this and am thinking that it sounds that the author needs to have someone to give him an honest opinion on why he hasn't been dating. And I wonder, what would be the best way for that?
It is definitely not a feature in most corporate environments.
Sadly I can't hold out much hope for remote work saving us. We've been able to do a whole lot of jobs remotely for over a decade now and companies still demand butts in seats.
If the top 50 or 100 "brands" got together and launched an on-line store where authenticity was guaranteed, and you'd have one place to order and track your orders, they might be able to compete with Amazon, reducing them to just selling cheap knockoffs, etc.

I didn't specify republicans or conservatives. I broke it down into those who think it's fine, and those who don't.

One of the biggest fallacies around is that Republicans/Conservatives are the GREAT majority of gun owners. The reality is there are tons of Democrat/Liberals that own guns. And that's perfectly fine.

As for Socialists with guns. I think the metrics on how many true socialists actually exist are flawed. But that's a different conversation.

And no - The country is not divided into good guys and bad guys. My comment was against the author who did divide the country into good guys and bad guys.

Regardless - If a civil war were to break out. It would be good guys and bad guys. That's one of the biggest tragedies of war. Nuance is killed.
To add to and explore the last bit of your comment a bit more, medical residency matching is a generalisation of the stable marriage problem — stable means that between two groups no two pairs can be broken apart where the members of the old pairs can form a new pair which is happier (Only one of the new pairs needs to be happier). If I recall correctly, the algorithm can be biased given that it might need to resolve multiple, competing stable solutions, which is an interesting exercise for whoever is trying to use it (I believe the medical one was changed to favour applicants in recent years).

I wonder if there’s a perturbation on the dating app format where the app creates groupings, then invites members to speed-dating style events where rankings can occur (Or just outright pairings if people vibe, but that should be fine because they presumably would be paired later anyway as first choices), and then setup blind second dates with the stable pairs.
I wish ad and social media companies would just tag ads (and ideally more popular articles) similar to how reddit mods can tag submissions. "Misleading", "Information cannot be verified", "Factually incorrect", "Paid for by XYZ", "Satire" etc. I would say they can probably do this with machine learning or some sort of crowdsourced system, but I feel like that is wide open to well poisoning attacks. Might be easiest and most accurate to send ads that get enough reports to a human to do tagging (or not if they don't think it is appropriate). Have several employees do tagging and if enough give the same tag, apply it. Warn all advertisers their articles can be tagged if they don't make an honest effort to accurately represent whatever it is they're advertising. It isn't perfect system, but I think it could work.
My sister shared a tip she uses when moving to a new town. Say yes to every social engagement no matter what.

I have gotten a lot of leverage out of being religiously involved (not just showing up Sunday morning, but showing up for workdays and midweek bible studies), sports leagues when moving to new locations and hosting occasional dinner "parties"/potlucks.

I like to throw a Christmas in July potluck where I cook a couple of turkeys (bought at Thanksgiving and freeze until July so they are $0.99/lbs), make five lbs of mashed potatoes and gravy and rely on guest to fill in the rest of the details. Then I invite everyone I am friends with or might want to be friends with, neighbors, coworkers, people I met from sports leagues and church etc.
Maybe he should try speed dating. In that kind of context, it's easy to start a conversation and not awkward to show interest in someone. And it's more personal than getting to know someone through an app. But maybe it doesn't attract to kind of people he'd be interested in.
Adding developers to a project by just "buying them" is unfortunately not as easy as you make it sound. (Note: I'm not saying Apple couldn't use more engineers. It's just not something they can throw money at and fix by next week.)
> To celebrate our company’s launch, we’re passing along our fees back to you in the form of a $10,000 check. To collect the $10,000, you’ll need to become a MainStreet Member and work out of one of our MainStreet offices for at least 12 months.

But what is a "MainStreet Member" and how does one become one? What/where are "MainStreet offices"? So is it remote or not? You're working remotely for a customer out of one of their offices? Is one an employee of MainStreet and contracting with their customers? What happens when I give them my email address? Their site raises more questions than it answers.

It's gotten better in the last year. But there are still problems with the locals buying a small ix port and it gets congested. The biggest challenge in the area is the the asymmetry. I could learn the routes if a network in the gulf I want, but they will refuse to accept my prefixes and force the return traffic by Europe unless I pay in some fashion.

You make it sound like CPU caches are the only caches around. I deal with higher-level caching a lot, and I'm not writing an OS. Is your book recommendation still useful for me?
Yes, but you live in Wisconsin haha
This is going to sound like a contrived argument but abolitionism was an extremist stance against slavery. The word "extremist" is not synonym with "excessive" or "bad".

I don't see which part of this thread implies that I'm only against online ads.

> Call it what you want, but you know and understand the implicit agreement is ads in exchange for content.

You don't seem to get it. There are no terms other than what's on the table, which is to say the content and the ads, and both are optional. We are not legally or ethically bound by any "implicit agreement".

> but you're starting to see more things behind subscriptions and paywalls as a result.

Subscriptions and paywalls are markedly better than advertisements, for the consumer at least.
>It is as simple as you ask a woman out who you are interested in

No it's not that simple. Some women are propositioned so often that it becomes a trial just to be out. Time and place are important too.

How do you relax? I've been told always to relax more. But I can't relax at all. My mind is going. I try to find my breath, but I always find that I become in control of the breath. I tried to wet my nostrils to feel the air come through, but when I am consciously waiting for the breath, it is only I who can cause the breath. I don't even know if I breathe when I am unaware of it. I am always just doing. But I see other people's bellies go up and down, so they must be breathing right? Basically, how did you learn to relax to that state?

This is a non-sequitur. Nothing to do with the point that was being made.

I've read all of them but Player Piano (started it twice, just got distracted both times, it wasn't bad) and God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. Of the rest, Hocus Pocus and Jailbird are the two that stuck the least.

Timequake was OK as a for-the-fans kind of thing I guess, but not great. Bluebeard is already a kind of summing-up of Vonnegut's major themes and is quite a bit better, so Timequake's just... fine. Slapstick is more memorable than Jailbird and Hocus Pocus but only for how incredibly bad it is.

I like or love all the other (counts) eight novels.

It's such a common problem with graphical interfaces in general. If only we gave our users the same affordance we give developers with versioned API's. We shouldn't be breaking interfaces haphazardly, and that includes the visual interface.
Why is this a good thing? In the U.S., why should Democratic candidates for the presidential nomination waste their ads on Republicans who will not vote in the Democratic primaries?

"The company’s advertising networks are limiting election ads audience targeting to age, gender, and general location (postal code level). This includes Search, YouTube, and display ads that appear on third-party sites.

Previously, Google’s basic political targeting in the US allowed for ads to be served based on public voter records and general political affiliations (left-leaning, right-leaning, and independent)."
And for every cab, that recording stays offline in the vehicle (protected compartment) unless circumstances say otherwise. It also doesn't have infinite storage.

Both are different in this case, so the comparison is moot.
The market is nothing more than a resource allocation methodology for exchanging resources, goods and services for other resources, goods and services.

The local news is nothing more than another set of market participants. There actually are markets where the local news receives enough revenue to be competitive, I live in one of them. To those that don’t, they’ll find replacements or other ways to adapt because it turns out people are pretty damn creative.
At least for me, the issue is that my hobbies (i.e. martial arts) are extremely male dominated.
Because you don't need to mention a party directly to run a smear campaign.

Most politicians end up with nicknames over scandals. For example:

Ad depicting a pig in mud.
"Do we want this in government?"

Mentions no one directly. But if it were run at the time David Cameron was running in the UK, it would be blatantly obvious who it was referring to, to the people on the ground.

Not so much to the people/machines making approvals of these ads from other nations.
I'm sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. If these sentences were shorter and pithier, they would qualify for the best starting sentences, since most of them are quite funny and/or intriguing. To win the first prize of the worst sentences, they need to be not only rambling (as most are), but also horrible.

The winners of a similar contest mentioned by shantly are more in the spirit of being horrible (or at least corny) while being limited in their rambling length.

I saw him when he came to give a talk at Edinburgh University in the early 1970s - very witty. And I've loved all of his books, particularly Mother Night and Cats Cradle.
I don't understand the logic by which people say that in smaller towns, you need a car. For me the exact opposite has been true: the larger the city, the more likely I am to need a car. In small cities everything is in walking distance, that's what small means. Big means things are far. Also, based on all the complaining about public traffic and congestion and whatnot, the larger the city, the more likely you are to be stuck in traffic..

As for the cost of owning and maintaining a car, I recently calculated that mine is about 300 eur/month, assuming I keep it for 5 years and sell or scrap it for 1000 eur. I'm likely to keep it longer (and/or sell for more), however, and that will bring the cost down.

By contrast, I'm paying 1045 eur/month for a 3BR apartment with sauna :-).
You going to live in a closet or what? The amount you have saved up seems insufficient to take on a HCOL area. Any hardware gigs in Austin or RTP?

Paying an extra $1.5k per month on rent isn't insane when it gets you $50 or $100k additional annual salary.
Imagine the outcry if Google were to label an ad for Fox/Breitbart/Daily Caller/Trump as "misleading" or "factually incorrect". (Indeed I might get called out even here on HN for my "bias" given that I highlighted right-wing publications and politicians.)

That is a dragon you don't want to tickle.
Oh sure, I was counting that as "house" but you're correct that denser housing is absolutely more environmentally friendly
What would be the optimal way of finding partners, or simply people you would like to spend time with, among 7+ billion people?

Here's my answer* : train an A.I to "flirt"/"have conversations" with others A.I. Use reinforcement learning to tailor the A.I. to specific users.

Nice, everyone now has their own personal I.A. that can go on dates with other personal A.I. Thousands of them per second, if needs be. If the system works well enough that A.I.s "get along" as well as their human models would (/would not), you have found a very nice way to perform a "double blind" matching platform. Feed back the results after you go on a real date! "A.I." here could be anywhere on the spectrum of a simple regexp, to neural networks, to AGI.

Of course, in my experience, shared experience is a big part of what makes relationships (non romantic, and prob. otherwise), while previous experiences or interests are a way to discover things to do together (or recall shared experiences), so this can't replace getting out and sharing activities.

* TBH, that's just shower thoughts, but could turn into a fun research/week-end/startup/fediverse project (or just a writing prompt for a novel).

Edit: split this post in two different ones.
> So now we get to thinking about whether this gives the developer an advantage over just knowing "Dirtying cache lines across different cores/threads is slow". I don't think I would conclude so here.

The hidden thing behind all this is that even if the data is just read-shared, it can still generate traffic between cores and sockets.

Since these communication links are a shared resource [0], doing things wrong hurts performance in unrelated code and cores. Just because of storm of cache coherency packets is being sent between cores.

So yeah, you really do want to minimize this to maximize performance and scalability across the whole system!

[0]: In Intel's case, this shared resource is ring bus inside CPU socket and QPI between CPU sockets.
Wee-slack was my go-to for the longest time but can no longer use it and it makes me sad... The problem with it now is that they had to migrate off the legacy API tokens.

Which women and how often?
So this requires 12 months commitment... Isn't this $10k a form of sign up bonus that's widely available from many Bay area companies?
At times as a 20 year old I would try the bars and parties approach and had limited success. In my hobbies, also male dominated (75/25) M/F ratio I'd easily find girlfriends. I always felt when I was younger that I should be able to meet people "normally" without that as a crutch.

Alas, I'm about 10 years married, from someone I met in my hobbies. Most male dominated things have participants and/or groupies--even something obscure. If your hobbies have zero women, maybe find another one or focus more on one that has something.

Take him away then. Imagine he just vanished. Took a sabbatical, didn't say where he was going, and just disappeared for a year.

What would happen? Things would function. They'd probably be fine for the first couple months, and they might even pass their first quarterly earnings without anyone noticing he's gone. If the department heads all were quiet and didn't notify the shareholders, things would seem completely fine.

But then the next quarter comes up. Money shifts around a little bit creating a small deficiency here, and a surplus over there. Department heads start to assist each other towards shared goals which may be detrimental to other departments.

Tribalism starts to take hold. Each department head is now their own top dog, and some will start to breed a culture within their areas where they believe they are absolutely more critical than other areas. Some individuals may start to actively sabotage the other departments if they feel it serves to benefit their own dept.

Without a CEO, you no longer have a company, you have a community of companies that are in direct competition with each other.

This doesn't mean the individuals within a company are unimportant. They get plenty of recognition within their own circles, but when you're talking about money, there's a reason the CEO is the focal point.

> AI poses greater threat to college grads than people without degrees

Is it me or the title structured as it is implies that "people without degrees" are a lesser threat to college grads than AI is? That AI and people without degrees are a threat, and AI is the greater one. I'm not a native speaker but I would have put "AI poses greater threat to college grads than to people without degrees", but it also sounds weird.

Incidentally I wonder if current AI are capable of inferring the actual meaning of the sentence. (AI threatens college grads more than it threatens people without degrees).

I know men are in a difficult position because they want to err on the side of caution and not make a move when it could be seen as a violation/unwanted, but these attitudes (blaming the patriarchy, etc) are projected to the would-be partner and it's probably a turn-off.
