As someone who believes in action on climate change and is very willing to take the consumption and taxation hits that that implies, this is what frustrates me most about the climate conversation: I've already "priced in" the existence of stubborn skeptics and greedy people, but the fact that even the "good guys" compulsively lie and distort the facts when it comes to climate change makes changing public opinion seem insurmountable (and this is how you change policy in a democracy). It's at times like these when the criticism of my fellow leftists as religious adherents[1] sounds the most uncomfortably true: people talk in terms of facts but think in terms of dogma and heresy. There's no claim in support of the dogma that should be suppressed and no claim in favor of the heresy that should be acknowledged.

It reminds me of nothing so much as the tenor of criticism of Trump, especially early in his term. The man is already a monster! You don't need to keep lying to make him look like one, and all it does is turn of people who mightve agreed with your legitimate criticism!

[1] To be clear, I have no reason to think that our counterparts on the right don't do this too. It just makes more of an impact to realize that everyone around you is dishonest and stupid than it does to realize that everyone in a relatively alien subculture is.
When Canonical says low-end hardware, I'm inclined to believe they mean actual cheap low-end hardware. Ubuntu has supported the raspberry pi for years now. A raspberry pi is much much lower end then even a bottom of the barrel i3 processor
I was a little confused about the PDF annotation part of the discussion since this works for me. The author does say that he doesn't have a mac and this might be the issue. It works across all of my devices and all of my apps.

Annotation itself is part of the PDF standard. It is defined well enough that all of the apps I use preserve annotation.

The parts that are missing are both provided by Evernote.

Evernote inserts the major annotations at the start of the file. You can then read a summary of annotations in any PDF app.

Evernote was also the first that automatically converted image based pdfs to "searchable pdfs". When this feature first came out it was awesome. Now I see it everywhere. My scanner automatically converts to searchable pdfs and I have an OCR converter that does the same.

Correct. This is the issue we faced.

Derived has so many meanings.

In this case, the transformations are the 0s and 1s (diagnoses labels) affecting a convolutional neural network to fit to these 0s and 1s and a set of network weights that result.
This is also true. In such a scenario probably an effective torture proof dead man switch (the one the whistleblower can't turn off once they kidnap him) could have helped.
Something on the lines of "here's 500 pages of sensitive data in the wild about your crimes, if I or anyone of my family members disappear or die a thousand more pages will be published, and nobody can turn off this feature, including me".

I know I'm making this a lot easier than it really is...
"How does ICE affect your day to day?"

I'm a child of immigrants and am in n immigrant family! ICE is terrifying whenever we travel, whenever my family tries to advocate that they deserve to stay with each other, etc.

I worry every day if I can raise my two younger siblings by myself should my parents ever be deported!
There often are lower salaries based on where you live, yes. But you still come out ahead. I make less than my counterparts who work out of the NYC office, and way less than FAANG salaries... but am near the top of my market for Utah. I'd have to imagine that coming from a developing nation, you would still be doing quite well if you got a remote job.

And you definitely won't get a good salary if you don't apply. So apply.
I suggest the SponsorBlock browser add-on, the creation of which was, from what I hear, inspired by LTT videos:

"Inflammatory" - well some people seem to adore her, and I don't. Maybe it can't be helped that some people will be inflamed. Unfortunately I don't share the opinion of the people who adore her.

Did I say the comment is not dismissive? I don't remember. (Edit: you claimed my dismissal was "generic" and I questioned that - the issue was with "generic", not with "dismissal". You have bad reading comprehension, or you deliberately play stupid).

I used to like her, and because of recent developments I don't anymore. That's all there is to it. The age thing comes into play because I have known about her for so long - so it is possible that she actually used to be good and just became "bad" in recent times. It's weird that you read so many things into it. It only is related to Trump in that Trump's election seems to have triggered the demonstrations she commented on.

If you choose not to believe me, that's fine, but it's not really an argument. It's just a belief statement from your side. I don't think it is worth trying to change your beliefs at this point.

But I also don't think your beliefs are better than mine. Shove them up your arse, for all I care. (I guess I think your beliefs are kind of "poopy"...).

Oh and shove your HN guildelines that you are hiding behind up your arse, too, while you are at it. If those guidelines mean it is not possible to tolerate differing opinions on HN anymore (which frequently seems to be the case), they are not all that good after all.
This makes no sense. The main issue here is recruiters in India and the USA promoting these types of universities to students there. These people should be caught. People seeking a better life apply, pay the tuition and show up. Now if they know it is fake is another issue. If you place a million dollars on the sidewalk and someone takes it and never reports it and you arrest them, is it fair. You are basically testing the persons ethics, which is not a criminal offence.
Maybe relevant, from TFA:

> "Lee didn't deny that his retirement decision was also influenced by a conflict with the KBA [Korean Baduk* Association] over the use of membership fees. He actually quit the KBA in May 2016 and is now suing the association for the return of his membership fee."

*Baduk is the Korean name for Go.
>The writer Philip K Dick wrote a short story (I can't remember the name - Warning spoilers below) where an Astronaut was trapped in a space accident and dying. As he was dying, he hallucinated Jesus Christ coming towards him. At first he was happy but then he was horrified as Christ began to tear chunks of his flesh out with his teeth! Then he died.

I had to look for this. I think the short story is called "Rautavaara's Case" and can be found in these collections: https://pkdickbooks.com/shortstories/TheRautavaarasCase.php.
Ukraine was much larger before Soviet invasion. Crimea and Kuban were removed first, then Crimea granted back in exchange of other territories of same size at North and East of Ukraine, then Crimean is captured again. Never trust Russians.
128-bit Storage: Are you high? (2004)
I've found that most people are friendly enough to engage in light conversation. I agree that going any deeper than that has become much more difficult due to people becoming used to the barriers social media provides. In my experience though, I have to be willing to be authentic, and in a way vulnerable, before anybody else will open up. That is the only way to create real relationships IMO.
> I think despair and hopelessness is not so much "real" as it is "manufactured".

When I was younger, we had Reagan and Bush and Clinton with his BJ and lying about it, and then the war in Iraq, which all had some low points...

But now there's a guy trying to cheat to win the next election, who basically believes he's above the law, and half the country is lining up behind him.

That's our democracy at stake. I feel quite a sense of despair, and I'm old enough to have seen a lot of back-and-forth in politics.

But despair can't lead to inaction. I've been doing more than I ever have to try and make a difference.
I really liked the final sentence:

> Thus, fully populating a 128-bit storage pool would, literally, require more energy than boiling the oceans.

And that's after the ludicrous amount of mass you'd need to just have the data.

I can't claim to understand you fully and I hope to never be where you are but I have one true friend in this life. The kind that I'd take a bullet for. I'm 45.

In your case I'd join a meetup. Something you are interested in. Anything you may even be remotely interested in. If you can't find one. Start one. There may be another "you" out there too.

The fact you're here says you're a tech in some fashion so I'd bet there are meetups somewhere you could go nearby.

I am not sure this message comes across well (and I apologise if it's preachy) but I read your message and thought I had to say something quickly.

Try a meetup. You might just find that someone else at that meetup is the same.

I hope to never find out you're one of these statistics.
I facilitate local friendships. I organize group events, like indoor climbing, board games, group dinners, movies, etc.

If you get people bringing friends of friends, you can get a larger group of people to draw on and it becomes lower effort and "whoever wants to come can join" and there's lower pressure on everyone.

My girlfriend has movie watching nights / DnD nights over Discord to keep up with her friends from out-of-state. I've just accepted that the remote friends I really care about can keep in touch via email / text, and the others I can handle losing.
Do you mean trillion here?
Sure I'm all for automating things we don't like doing, but everytime we outsource some piece of ourselves to technology we lose something in the process.

We invented farming and lost our communal hunter gathering cultures. We invented mass production and supply-chains for our food and lost our farming culture (for the most part). This isn't necessarily good or bad, but we are definitely losing something every time we invent something to make our lives easier. At some point there will be a tipping point of diminishing returns.

Personally I believe "the singularity" would be the worst possible thing to ever happen to humans. Sure we can visit distant parts of the universe and live forever but only as passengers to some AI. Would you rather be a dog in today's world or a human 1000 years ago?

Progress is unrelenting though and I certainly enjoy not having to wash my clothes by hand.
Their site[1] is low on content, too.

It might be that what they were automating was different on each customer company. It's only a guess, but it seems viable that they might go to a company, see what easily automatable tasks they're doing by hand, and offer to write a script for that task.

If that was the case, I wonder how they managed to monetize it that much.

But the thing that the OP is talking about is specifically that they think it is nuts that said person made that much money, regardless of the fact that relatively speaking that wasn't much money for the company.
Yes, localstorage is great, but this for making URLs that are short enough to share on twitter, dischord, etc. The max twitter url length is ~4000 characters I think.
Hmmmm, I believe I "am" making some meaningful difference. Even if it's just yelling at the fucked up shit. I will not go quietly into the night.
I would like to add I wish there was a way to clear paywalled content... flagging seems like the wrong way to do it...but its the only option currently
I can see how your point applies in the case of "the war of northern aggression," but not here. If you're showing different things to different people on different sides of the dispute, obviously you've decided there is a meaningful dispute.
Maybe not over a distance of less than 1m, but over 100m?
Come on, none of us are really "human" anymore since the advent of gut bacteria.
> AI is smart-dumb, looking for patterns beyond the human capacity, but limited by the data on existing human players that has been provided to them.

I think you misunderstand how AI in games like go now works. Most of the advancements recently have been from the AI playing itself, oftentimes without any database of human moves at all.
Automation kills another job.
By that logic if you lived in a nice countyside vila in Poland during WW2 you should not have been worried at all about what was going on around you.
Didn't see the original comment, but I am happy to see people finally seeing China in a proper light. They are not the same as the US, though Americans overwhelmingly tend to approach their views of the rest of the world from an ethnocentric point of view.

Having served in a war zone I will say that our country is far from perfect, but I know there are much worse places one could be. It does not mean we should stop striving to advance, but there is no shame in appreciating what we currently have.
You're right, a lot of these metrics are improving.

Some demographics that should be doing fine perceive the world as worse than it is [1].

Even though the demographic's metrics are improving, the perception of their metrics might not be improving.

Whoever is currently making music is also (statistically) not making best music. Maybe not even good music. AI doesn't change anything there.
Personally, I think the idea of completely cutting off from social media isn't something that most people can (or even should) do. Rather, it's important to moderate your interaction with it.

For example, while I've excised most social media from my life, I find Reddit to be generally positive so I keep it. Facebook, Twitter, etc. not so much, so I hardly go there. Now, am I missing out on things? Of course, but I've decided that, for me, those things aren't important enough to deal with the rest of what comes with them (privacy concerns wrt Facebook, for example).

I also forbid social media on my phone - which can go a long way to breaking cycle of swiping/scrolling. I generally forbid myself from going on Reddit while at work, restricting myself to only Hacker News.

For you, that calculus may be different. Maybe most of your friend group interacts via Facebook and that's what they're most comfortable with. In your case, it may be best to stick with Facebook to keep your social circle intact. You just have to moderate your usage. For example, maybe all you really need is Facebook Messenger, so you never actually have to go on Facebook proper. Avoid the parts that drag you down while keeping the parts that maintain your sanity. Maybe only have messenger on your phone so you're not tempted to go to the Facebook site.

It's not easy, which is why a lot of people (myself included) choose to simply throw them away; it's not worth the trouble for us, but it may be for you.

It is the JSCrush code. I don't fully understand it, but it's a brute force approach to find the longest substrings.
Great article! Never stop tinkering.

Here‘s how I got to know Kubernetes:

By end of 2016, the Kubernetes hype was just about to pick up real steam. As somebody who always liked the idea of running something like an own cluster in the cloud, I attended KubeCon Europe in early 2017. The event was sold out, and took place in a venue almost too small for the number of attendees. It was great. During the event I was just about to finish the Hobby Kube[1] project. Back then weren’t any guides that addressed all the problems encountered when running Kubernetes on a budget, using low cost VPS on random cloud providers. So I dived into the subject in the second half of 2016 and started writing a guide, including automated provisioning using Terraform. I discovered WireGuard in the process of looking for a solution to efficiently securing network traffic between hosts. This still makes me feel like I was an early adopter to something that’s becoming hugely popular.

If somebody would like to add a Terraform module for deploying to Raspberry Pi, please ping me or open a PR here[2].

Life expectancy is going down every year. These are good times for a few privileged elite, everyone else is moving backwards.
I know a brilliant junior school teacher teaching years 1 to 3.

He constantly configures his classroom to maximise learning continuity for the entire class. It is a massive challenge balancing out the problems students face physically or outside the classroom. Teaching has become the easy part of teaching.

The problem with student learning is that is affected by three things.

Emotional Health
Physical Health
Teaching Quality

to build an educated adult you need to optimise all three variables.

The problem with rewarding teachers is that their students aren't objectively assessed on all three dimensions.

In every district in the world there should be three person educational assessment teams that consist of an emotional health assessor, a physical health assessor and an academic progress assessor that work as a team to objectively assess the students and work with the teacher and support agencies to eliminate learning barriers.

Any students that need help should get referred to the correct service or program as quickly as possible. The teacher should focus purely on teaching and integrating support agencies.

Teachers deserve to be rewarded for their teaching ability in an objective way. As it happens there is a lot of unnecessary subjectivity and people blame teachers for not being social workers, counsellors and doctors. The education of every child in a class deteriorates as these three dimensions become less homogenous because the maximised learning continuity of the group depends on a limited resource. It is teachers who can creatively balance them while engagingly delivering the curriculum that are creating unrewarded alpha in the educational space.

Paying $250,000 a year in salary to a group of 3 specialist objective assessors with the data linked to the health and social services would get a better return on investment than any other expenditure a government could make in lifting the health, education and future earning potential of children.

If a child isn't learning there is always a reason. The faster you address that reason the more value you create. Sometimes it's the teacher, sometimes it isn't but for the child's sake we should definitely diagnose the reason.
Rage quit.
Have you ever seen a real hive bro? I see you consider yourself as part of one, but do you even realize the implications or just mindlessly accept it? I am not and will never a bee. This analogy is demonstration of laziness.
Not exactly throwaway per say, but I have a Google Voice VOIP number that I usually use when I'm signing up for services that require a phone number. Some services seem to be able to actually detect that it is a Google Voice number and will reject it, but it works the majority of the time, and I believe it has helped in keeping my main phone number from receiving as much spam. One plus about using Google Voice is that I can access it later if I need to use it to regain control of an account if I lose a password or whatever. That number predictably gets a fair amount of spam now, but another nice thing about Google Voice is that I can quickly use full text search on the entire call history, voicemail, and sent/received SMS messages.
> The earth resources are stressed beyond the breaking point with the current population.

Suppose you are right about this. Then it follows, you have to make some cases like below.

1. Largest population growth comes from the third world countries in Africa, Asia and Central and South America. How should we reduce the population growth in these countries?

2. There's a large influx of immigration into the first world countries where the immigrants resources usage will likely increase by a lot. How should we reduce the immigration into the first world countries from the third world?
Or maybe just giving birth at later ages.
The core question, and one that has existed long before Facebook even did, was how do we protect a population against propaganda. As psychology and marketing improve their ability to manipulate the mind, we have to get answer this or else democracies will fall into the hands of those who have control over these tools.

This is a hard problem and I'm hesitant of any solution on the level of 'ban lies'.
That's a pretty cynical viewpoint to take, but I won't say it was unexpected after looking at your username.
> Blaming the media for accurately reporting on the state of the world is always the last refuge of the person who's run out of real arguments.

If you really believe the media, any media, is reporting things accurately in 2019 you are not thinking critically or actively searching for the truth.

> The argument from people who would rather not engage with the state of the world for a long time has been that anyone who complains about the state of the world is just watching the news too much

How much of your own time and money have you spent fighting the opioid epidemic? If you are willing to get ACTIVELY involved in an issue then by all means, consume media on the subject.
Of course depression is inevitable.

At my current job I work really hard, but I feel incredibly lucky that what I do is valued such that I am able to put about $3k per month extra money into a Vanguard mutual fund that has about 7% return. This money will continue to accumulate and grow with compound interest. I literally get more free money for already having money. That is privilege.

Meanwhile for many other people it's the exact opposite. They work equally hard (arguably perhaps even harder than I do) but the work they do isn't valued so they get paid almost nothing. After they pay their bills they don't have any extra money to invest. In fact they might have a small shortfall which over time turns into credit card debt. Now their net worth is compounding in the opposite direction.... down instead of up.

Someone in the second group has every right to feel depressed. I'd argue they probably even have every right to be mad as hell. They say that depression is just anger internalized. Some people are reacting to their situation by getting angry at the billionaires and super rich in our society. Others are experiencing that internalized anger that turns into depression that causes them to suicide slowly with drugs or alcohol.
