> joined the Kingdom of Poland only seven years before his birth.

> I'd say that calling him either German or Polish would be inappropriate.

By the same logic, for Thomas Jefferson, born 1743 in a British colony, it would be even more inappropriate to call him American, as that country didn't exist until 1776.

What's true however is that, historically, the ideologies of current nation states didn't exist in 1473, and that some categorizations used today are really ahistorical. Still, people knew which language their ancestors and family spoke, and there is some information about that in Wikipedia regarding Copernicus. That's something that means something even to us today, where we could live in one country and mostly speak one language but still don't deny that our family speaks another, or that we don't speak the language of our ancestors. E.g.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Americans

"With an estimated size of approximately 44 million in 2016, German Americans are the largest of the self-reported ancestry groups by the US Census Bureau in its American Community Survey."
"Neoliberal" is effectively a snarl term now.
No, the round trip for electromagnetic waves at 350km it’s about 2 ms not 40.
The lowest orbit of the satellites though would be 550km and not 350km, but it would still be less than 4ms.
From where did you get the 40ms figure that it’s wrong by an order of magnitude?
Not that I condone it, but FWIW this is a common form of analytics called session recording. I use it on back office apps for troubleshooting, but I would be horrified if someone asked me to add it to a consumer facing app that people use in their day to day lives.
Number 3 is beyond stupid. Someone had the bright idea that people browsing Reddit want to see a bunch of tiles on mobile and "related content" all over the place. Just show me the effing thread! It's all text anyway. There's little bandwidth overhead for comments.

> is at its infancy at best.

Hence why the main source is published with ~90 subjects studied. Science starts with one paper/experiment and builds from there.

> The lie is not that A and B are present at the same time. The lie is presenting story as if A was caused by B. There is absolutely no evidence for that.

That's not a lie. It's called a hypothesis. It's testable. They've tested it and encourage others to test as well.
Off the top of my head:

No the problem is that the evidence is boring and people have a hard time understanding how abstract numbers will affect their daily lives.
I think they recently adopted react. They used to be pure python/pyramid (if I recall correctly). Idk why things are so slow now. They also were open source for a long time but closed it like 2 years ago.
I didn't know of the checksum until I looked it up today.
A better choice of word would have been "evidently".
Bone marrow makes stem cells. Stem cell become the cells required in different areas in the body.

Like, this isn't unexpected.
It has absolutely nothing to do with Python (which works on the server side), since their old web interface is working just fine. The issue is the bloated monstrosity of UI that they build recently and are trying to shove down users' throats.
Subjectively, yes. Haven't bothered to quantify, but old Reddit (which you can still use at old.reddit.com) is more responsive; comparable to HN or Craigslist or other "last of the good old web" sites.
Are you using Gmail?

I did try that personally but the fact that it was POP3 and not IMAP put me off... I believe they do that because they sell G Suite and you'd have to get that if you'd want IMAP and easy-switch
Why databases use ordered indexes but programming uses hash tables
Or use old.reddit.com. It's annoying to have to delete 'www' and replace with 'old' every time. I don't stay signed in, otherwise there's an option to only use old.
There's two senses of "worse" that you could mean. If you mean "it is worse to be on the receiving end of the first than the second," then I think that's an accurate statement of my beliefs, but I don't think it's super relevant. The claim I'm making is "There is a worse outbreak of the first on Keybase than the second," which is a testable claim (that I might be wrong about!).
When you capture this data you can replay a user's session as if you were looking over their shoulder. Logrocket is a good example of this kind of platform. You can configure it to blacklist certain elements, but it is undoubtedly creepy as hell when used on a site like Reddit where people are communicating with each other.
There aren't any mainstream languages that have the ability to detect the ultra high-level errors you describe. Maybe typescript is getting better.

Pyflakes and unit tests will detect the great majority of potential errors. Mypy gets you closer to zero.
Maybe because large telescopes aren't in very large cities.
From the data shown it's not obvious that some of the options would ever be best, would be interesting to see if any of the non csv options ever beat the csv options and for what type of data.
That benchmark page I referenced shows scaling on a SkylakeX at 1, 26, and 52 cores, on a Haswell at 1, 12, and 24 cores, and on Zen1 at 1, 32, and 64 cores so you can probably map out a ballpark scaling co-efficent from that.

I'm sure there are theoretical and practical limits but it's probably completely dependent on implementation and each system architecture, but that's beyond my pay grade. Maybe start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Linear_Algebra_Subprogra...
Ah, that's fair!
What is the probability of a (randomly selected?) control tissue of a "average" chimera having different DNA, though?

I have no idea, but intuitively it would make a big difference in what fraction you detect.
Not that JS files need to be ginormous, but the application files should be cached by the browser. The technical problem isn't so much the bandwidth use but the terrible architecture and design.
There are browser extensions that replace the `www` to `old` automatically.
I collect a fair number of both American and UK edition of various books. The paper and glue quality of virtually all UK books, even limited/special editions, is just appalling. Even the worst American airport paperbacks are superior to nearly anything I've acquired from the UK.

OneWeb claims to have cracked that, for a price point of $200-300. https://spacenews.com/wyler-claims-breakthrough-in-low-cost-...

Even if it winds up being more expensive, you might see a neighborhood getting an antenna and distributing it to a group of houses.

Reddit's performance is wildly inconsistent. Profiling might be useful but then again, it might just tell you some particular server you're connected to is experiencing some random quirk that only manifests itself now and then. And of course there is only so much you can tell from the client side about issues if they've server side.
How do you envision compressing the graph?

One thing you can do, if you know that all your objects will live in one arena, and the maximum size of that arena is <= 2^N objects for some N, is to store "pointers" as N-bit rather than 64-bit values. Java does this for N = 32: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/HotSpot/CompressedOops
Ericsson slapped with over US$1B fines for bribery
There was a case in the news like that, where a pair of twins were implicated, and they tried to argue that since it was impossible to tell which one of them it was, neither could be convicted.
More general tangential question: How come, just as when google is saying that every website is mobile-first now, the SPA frameworks have become so popular? The tons of JS and HTTP requests they require are clearly ill-suited for someone browsing in their phone in a subway. How did that happen?
> Where I can't say I'm an atheist back home because I will get beheaded. Or say what I think of capital accumulation in SF because I will never work again.

These are bad things, right? Like you want to live in a society where this doesn't happen, I assume? Or are you saying this is all right and proper?
This is fascinating. Thanks for all the details you've shared!

I'm definitely pretty low key about this kind of thing and it's interesting to see how others think.
VPS providers to shut down on Monday, giving customers two days
Yeah I think this is romanticizing it. These guys never really were out in the public bragging about themselves or how they’re helping humanity. Mostly they’ve been pretty behind the scenes
Browsing Reddit is perfectly fine on satellite internet. It's obviously not as fast as cable, but it's not the satellite internet of 10 years ago people judge it on.

TMF is probably the most accurate consultant in this industry if you read the whole blog. He tends to be opinionated, which you won't find on places like spacenews.

Either way, it's not productive arguing. It's like the Tesla versus anti-tesla camp, and that certainly won't be settled anytime soon.
if you are logged in there is a preference setting. i havent seen new reddit in many months

That doesn't work on mobile with no extensions and googling something that turns up a reddit result.

I use the old.reddit chrome extension but I imagine most computer users do not.

Internet community communication should be free to see by the public regardless of the host. The commenter are providing content to other users but it is the host that owns it. Its just not right.
> libertarian with a flag of violent resistance to state tyranny

Perhaps you meant non-violent, because the whole court case that government was trying to fabricate was an attempt to accuse him in calls to violent protest, which was not true.
you can also do old.reddit.com and get the old reddit back so its usable on your machine.
I haven't specifically looked into it, but 10+ years of optimization went into the old reddit, and a lot of that was at a time when LTE and HTTP2 didn't exist.

Both take more or less the same time to show a page, they just pushed it from the backend (old reddit) to the frontend (new reddit), but I'd say it is equally slow.

I'll stick to old reddit so they pay the bill (literally) for their ineptitude.
(But is new reddit slower than old reddit, in the first place?)

Extremely. I try to avoid complaining about the work of others, but it's genuinely so bad I have to wonder why any front-end developer at reddit has a job.
Hyperbole. The distilled version of the post is things have changed since these two wrote their paper, not necessarily for the better, and these two paradoxically opt out of the future they created because they have the luxury and wealth to do so.

Hyperbole is a literary tool to get you to think for yourself and relate it to your knowledge and experiences to agree or disagree. So, by nature of your attention to read it and then take a further action to respond, the writer was successful.
I don't think it's intended to be taken literally. They're just illustrating a kind of lifestyle that doesn't genuinely exist anymore--now we're just memes within memes shrouded by emoji spam.
My point is that there's very little to suggest US healthcare is uniquely ineffective. There rapidly diminishing returns to health spending and US outcomes are badly handicapped by factors like obesity and homicide.

Maybe try actually reading it though?
Part of it is developers on fast PCs with good internet connections. Slow? It's fast for me.
It (edit: my system) wouldn't do it that with a single login probably, unless it was a stored password on the PC for each mutt instance and data directory doing its connection to the provider.

Otherwise (with multi-logins), I could do that with my provider's email web UI in browser tabs (or save the logins in the browser, which I generally do not), for all the ones I designate to them as separate mailboxes (they have some number included, then you pay more after that), or could have a mutt script+window to switch to a different mutt data directory for each.

But I have the other backup stuff largely automated now, so I don't mind much. (Plus it makes me feel good to run scripts I wrote & tested carefully, on my PC.) There would certainly be simpler ways. Maybe I'll reconsider someday if I want to change. :) (Edit: for my own data, I avoid SaaS generally, as I like a sense of control. Same reason I guess that I go to the trouble to learn/use OpenBSD.)
By far the biggest health improvements that could be made in America would be reductions in obesity and reductions in vehicle fatalities. Whether that's the best area of focus depends on the relative difficulty of the improvements - if one second and one penny could save one person, that would be a higher priority than spending a million dollars and one year to save a thousand (even though both would be on the list for doing some time.)
Here's a novel idea for a fix: admit that Starlink is flawed, shut down the project, and come up with another way to make money.
This depends on the book (or perhaps the publisher).

For example, I just bought the Illuminatus Trilogy in one cheap paperback, and it’s got a terrible typeface, it looks like a smeared typewriter.

But all other books I’ve bought the past couple months (mix of paperbacks and hardcovers) have had clear typefaces. In fact I never noticed typefaces consciously until seeing this book which takes a noticeable amount of effort to read the fonts.
It's been suggested that gut microbes affect mental functioning - maybe a surgery/transplant could affect the immune system (not to mention immunosuppressive drugs would be a given, right?) which in turn would affect which microbes thrive, and therefore personality.

I'm ruining a good article, but I'll summarize: you can't build good coverage in an airport with cell towers because of height restrictions, so airports augment their coverage with indoor repeaters; once you get on the plane, you're out of range of the indoor repeater network.
Everyone involved in the decision-making process for this needs to be fired. They are obviously so incompetent it's hopeless. Have they ever even used their own mobile website before?

You see this sort of shit in a lot of places where employees can't be bothered to dogfood their own platform.
I don’t know why your comment was downvoted. Very legitimate reason.
Google pushed the narrative that they were more than just a “better search engine”. Specifically when they proclaimed to be the stewards of organizing the world’s information with a clear dictation from the top of “don’t be evil”.

I’m on mobile, so I don’t have the time to collect a full timeline for you. But I’d suggest you look closer at their organizational history and messaging. There’s a reason people are feeling jaded, and it’s not because they misinterpreted Google’s mission and vision.

I agree, this is true. In this particular case though, there has been sensationalism for decades now - it tends to have the opposite of the intended effect.
I don't see any reason to use Flow over TS.
These are not guesses. These are calculations based on FCC filings with things like EIRP, PFD, etc, all included. SpaceX cannot simply transmit hotter than they filed for just because the filing is old.

If anything, they're worse than those calculations since there's no ISL, and there were reported propulsion system problems.

I personally can't see a neighborhood going in on satellite internet since they still need to transmit between each other, which would mean more equipment.
It's easy to lend anywhere. Where it gets complicated is when you're trying to borrow.

From my experience the popularity of loan sharks has a lot more to do with the fact that banks traditionally have seen no value in small, short term loans (which is basically what a credit card transaction is).

Interestingly enough, in many places where we worked and proved that "poor" does not necessarily equate to "unreliable" those same banks are starting to offer microcredit-like[1] loans, presumably because they've crunched the numbers and decided that the volume makes it a viable proposition even if the margin is thin.

[1] "Microcredit-like" because banks' offerings are obviously profit-oriented whereas traditional microcredit tends towards a community development focus

Yes it is very easy to match image and click on it with AHK.

Russian politics? There are no such things since late nineties.

Whatever "opposition" is left in Russia today, is no more real than the token opposition to the CPSU that legally existed in the Soviet Union.

There is a long held Russian political tradition that long proceeded the creation of the Union: they pick the weakest enemy, the weakest opposition camp, and then surround them with spies, puppets, and then purposely let them show everybody their helpless, futile struggle.

In comparison, all credible opponents to the CPSU was dealt with in the swiftest way, without even a token trial. They either met their demise from KGB's signature potato trucks, or simply "disappeared" Latin American style.

The same was with modern Russia. The last credible, real opposition to MAFIA—KGB chimera was the Primakov-Lebed group. Lebed died in a helicopter crash, and Primakov, you know it. At the same time, KGB plotters didn't care the slightest about formal liberal opposition, because they knew that they were complete jokes, incapable of killing a fly.

Nor Primakov, nor Lebed were even remotely "liberal." That fabled "Russian liberal opposition" only existed in the imagination of Western "Kremlinologists." Those "non-violent resistance" clowns brought demise not only on themselves, but all and everybody else who was capable of standing against resurgent KGB. Their last chance assassinating Putin expired right around 2005-2006, and you know what those clowns did back then? They said "we need to bring Putin to Hague...," few month later a wave of assassinations rolled over Russia

Probably not very helpful/informational but:

I work for VzM, but not historically directly on Yahoo products (product teams have been merged/consolidated etc. over the past few years, but there's still strong tendencies toward products people came from).

So I wouldn't be very clued into what's happening with Yahoo Groups internally. And I've heard nothing about this internally. At all.

As it stands, it's 2:30pm in SV, VzM is top of the HN frontpage, and not a single soul has mentioned it yet on internal Slack.

Will see if I can find out more.
Ask HN: What are you currently mad about?

In addition to that, they also seems to be testing a version which completely disables access to some content to users which are not logged in - it simply says that you can only view it in the app.

YC get's 7% before dilution, so the amount is smaller.

Another method is to use the $1MM/engineer rule. There are 2official mods and 1 official developer (I'm not sure if his work is not shared with another YC projects), and there is an undisclosed amount of semi-mods, and there is some support crew that is probably shared with YC. So I guess $5MM or $10MM.

Monetization is a problem. Reddit was never a monetization success. StackOverflow had better luck with that.
As it explains in the essay, there is a system called Infamy, which is so subtle that I didn't even notice it. It assesses your cruelty in the game and the people in the world behave accordingly. Apparently, at the extreme they even stop trading with you. As the quotations in the essay try to explain, the creators of Far Cry 2 explicitly evaded embedding a moral story or judgement in the game, but rather created dynamic conditions for the player to form moralistic narratives himself.
