That may be true on the iPhone in the US as well. Apple support doesn't say anything about it AFAIK but I did find an article suggesting you can't turn Presidential alerts off. (Though I don't think I've ever seen one.)
> The incels claim their problem is not getting any. But we live in a golden age for porn and sex toys. They can get off if they want.

This is why legalizing sex work and pornography is no solution and indeed may very well worsen the problem. Turning women into objects to be bought and/or rented, consumed, and owned doesn't help matters. (Of course sex work and pornography are not the only offenders in this regard: I don't suppose most of us would sanction religious ownership of women. It's a different face on the same problem.)
Please someone explain me the point of truism in titles?
I was going to tease you about the Brexit and how your village won't be in Europe for long now but I first googled if there was a reading club in my hometown (Belgium) and... there is a slow reading one :D. I may just go and see what it's like :).
Thanks. What are the usual cold start and warm start times for Cloud Run? Is there potential for those start times to go down to a few milliseconds in the near-future?
Hm... not sure what you are trying to say. What flimsy accusation? Donald Trump Jr released the emails himself on Twitter? What in that is a 'flimsy accusation'?
Indeed, and actual Bash scripting (as opposed to plain POSIX sh) is much more pleasant. Used properly, arrays make it easy to build commands with arguments and finally run them, e.g.

#!/bin/bash

command_args=(
--foo bar
--baz "buzz buzz"
)

[[ $frob_option ]] && command_args+=(--frob frab)

echo command_name "${command_args[@]}" "other" "arg"

# Echoes:
# command_name --foo bar --baz "buzz buzz" --frob frab other arg
Yeah after I posted I realized that once you hit your cap, that’s it you are done.

Still, I bet there is a lot of companies that might be more upset with the provider shutting everything down even if they had set up a cap.
Cheers! I can't take credit tho. I believe it was Dr. Philo Drummond or the

> "The addition of an indigenous land acknowledgement to the syllabus."

That's one nutty request amid a bunch of more-or-less-reasonable ones. (The requested reduction in pursuing cheating cases was just as nutty, TBH.) It tells you a lot about how politicized this whole thing is, but it's not like we didn't know that already. Overall, the article author seems a bit too emotionally involved himself, in a way that's pretty hard to make sense of as just caring about good CS 101 teaching.
Let's not forget that george jr. And Biden made college debt slavery a thing. And no child left behind was meant to cripple public education. So you have poor uneducated kids mad at the system voting conservative. And then you have kids that escaped and went to college to only strap them with so much debt, they to become conservative. Saying, well I had to pay, why do they not have to have decades of their lives paying back bad faith loans?

Geohot was great. I immediately bought a comma ai eon kit after listening to it.

My fav was Gary Marcus though. Really showing what breakthroughs we’d need to make to truly have intelligent AI. Without it self driving cars and conversational AIs are always a decade away. I immediately bought his book “Rebooting AI” afterwards too.

I use Heroku for these situations where everything is managed automatically. The only con here would be paying more, $20-50/m (Node.js+DB+Redis?) instead of $5/m for DO, but I'm happy to pay for that and spend no time on manual management.
It's not possible to block all such articles on HN, for a bunch of reasons; nor would that be desirable. We try to manage it by favoring the articles that have enough substance to burn more slowly.

Re the author's story, it's not that it excuses anything; it's just that it's an additional aspect. When articles like this are also about personal experience, they hold more information, and posts with more information seem to support better discussion.
It's possible there are only a few main dimensions, but the article doesn't describe anything in particular Hilbe did to evaluate that possibility. We can't accept any model we're presented with just because it's possible that it's correct.

In fact, I'd argue there are obvious reasons to be skeptical of this particular reduction. In the game, fantastically rich people never contributed to the public pot; in real life, most fantastically rich people toss piles of money at public goods like hospitals, schools, and charities.
I highly doubt "most people" even know how to do this.
App Engine is indeed problematic. I have an important app on it and various forced upgrades gave me a big headache. It's been stable for several years now, so I'm okay with it, but as much as I like the idea, and indeed the execution, of App Engine I'm not going to do anything new on it because of the lock-in factors.

Cloud Run, however, uses standard containers, so as long as you don't use Google proprietary stuff on the backend it's relatively easy to move. As the article mentions, it's useful for low-traffic projects, and if they pick up you can move them to full-time instances.

Yes, one of my favorite bloggers for more years than I can count. What is crazy isn’t just how crazy the stories he has to share are but also just how many of them he has. You’d think with the craziness bar set so high he wouldn’t have this much content, but he still manages to be one of the most prolific bloggers!
Do you believe that such a simple statement can possibly constitute a comprehensive list of rules for exactly when war is justified? By way of comparison consider the fact that just about everyone believes that murder is wrong and the legal definitions of the various types of “murder” is quite long. Even so the definitions are murky enough to require judges, lawyers, and juries to settle matters in some individual cases.

It’s hard to argue that Smedley’s single sentence can possibly constitute a comprehensive set of rules when “defense of our homes” is so vague and can reasonably be interpreted to encompass so much.
What does it run on today? Or, is it multi-cloud now?
In Mahematica any keyword can be used as an unbound variable. So you need a way to disambiguate f(x) meaning f multiplied by x vs. f[x] meaning f applied to x. If you use parentheses for both you'd have to give up the ability to express multiplication as a(b) which would be a bigger loss I think.
I have gone serverless for a Vue frontend app I deliver with Cloudflare Workers Sites and with a DigitalOcean S3 Space serving all images. However I'm still very reluctant to use Google Cloud Computing or any similar Azure/AWS solutions for its backend because it just seems pretty expensive to me.

I can get a vServer with 48 Gb RAM, 10 vCPUs and a 800 SSD with a 1000 Mbit/s connection and unlimited traffic for 20€ a month and run my MariaDB and Redis database on the same machine as my other containers.

Even if the vServer only runs at 25% on average the same performance with GC would cost me 150€ for the CPU, 77€ for the RAM (with free tier already included) and that is still not accounting for the traffic. And I would have to host the MariaDB instance elsewhere (which adds latency). And Google Cloud has very few data centers in Europe so it'd not even be near my main market.

In this case Google Cloud Run (with worse performance) would cost me like 15x more than running a vServer. That's not a price I'm willing to pay to go completely serverless or to avoid downtime at all costs. Or am I missing something?
It is. I'm using free there to build and host my projects. If/when I exceed the free tier I'm not making a billing account unless I can set a max bill. I'll sooner rewrite everything to run on bare metal that has a fixed monthly cost.
Well, at least you admit that you're an authoritarian tyrant.
> So you're taking a high (100s-1000s) dimensional problem and projecting it onto a 2-10 dimensional space where your conclusions are based on a form of clustering which itself is purely dependent upon your (probably ideologically driven) assumptions. In such drastic oversimplifications it is extremely east to paint whatever picture you want, even unintentionally.

This misrepresents the scientific process the researchers have undertaken - they did not proceed by simply drawing conclusions from observations of a (high-dimensional) system. Instead, they took a simple model of reality, constrained the parameters to those they believe capture the dynamics (the endowment structure), and then validated that constrained model using observations. Their assumptions are embedded in the model structure and parameter constraints.
Do you have a working online example? The links don't seem to work (404 or blank), and I'd like to see whether I should try it if I at some time get to write a dataflow graph config tool sitting on top of timely-dataflow. Especially because I expect to use it for a sizable event processing graph.
> When uttered by a teacher, it can easily be taken to have an implied "therefore I'll make less of an effort teaching them, or to encourage their career".

> If somebody had said 40 years ago that "men play more soccer than women", this would have been correct as an empirical statement. However, it was also invariably taken as a normative statement, and subsequently less resources and encouragement were expended on women. And when the genders were later put on more equitable footing, the empirical fact turned out to be quite malleable.

It is not "invariably taken" as a normative statement, especially not when its normative interpretation is literally and explicitly disclaimed by the author.
This is hopefully a specifically US thing, some companies' HR departments are extremely risk averse and will likely interpret that as you were in prison or rehab for six months.

I once, as an intern, had an HR assistant bring my application for a permanent position back to me because she wanted an explanation for why I was unemployed between June and August of the previous year (a year in which I was enrolled at a university.) I explained that I was in school and most companies don't hire people for only 3 months over the summer so I spent that time learning a programming language. She walked away looking annoyed.

It's not elitist to listen to them.

It is elitist to force others to do so.
I agree that many of them are very reasonable and he is just being stubborn. For example, switching the BMI example to another example to avoid public shaming, using a variety of names and references so that everyone feels represented, and using provided pronouns costs him nothing and makes other people feel included. That being said, some of the others are less...value adding?

* A relaxation of grading on coding style - In the real world you will be expected to adhere to a prescribed coding style. Getting students used to this is not a bad thing. This is equivalent to docking points from students who refuse to learn how to use git.

* Allowing students to work together in a group for part of their grade instead of requiring them to complete all graded work individually. - This is a request to make the curriculum easier and does not appear to be related to inclusion.

* A reduction in the amount of effort expended pursuing cheating cases by 50 percent even though there has been no reduction in cheating cases. - This is a request to make the curriculum easier and does not appear to be related to inclusion.

* The addition of an indigenous land acknowledgement to the syllabus. - This is far outside the scope of a CS course.

* The use of gender-neutral names like Alex and Jun instead of Alice and Bob. - As long as you are using a variety of names, this seems redundant.

* An avoidance of references that depend on cultural knowledge of sports, pop culture, theater, literature, or games. - Using these is meant to be engaging and many students like it. As long as you don't need prior knowledge of history or knowledge of the reference to solve the problem then I don't see what the issue is.

* The replacement of phrases like “you guys” with “folks” or “y’all.” - "You guys" is universally understood to be gender neutral. Taking issue with this seems pedantic.

* A declaration of instructors’ pronouns and a request for students’ pronoun preferences. - Asking for students' pronouns is good practice and the professor should use them if provided. It is unreasonable to demand that professors provide theirs. It should be understood that if pronouns are not explicitly stated then individuals wish to go by their biological pronouns.
I don't even understand why is there any confusion about it. College is a competitive tool. With share of people with a degree rising from 4% to 33% (and fewer than 33% have ANY net worth), how can it be otherwise? Having a college degree 60 years ago meant being a member of the elite. Now it means nothing. Except a pile of debt.
You can definitely do bad things to earn money. But a doctor, an engineer, etc, would've already contributed to the common good even if they buy a tenth car that sits in their garage. So simply buying a tenth car that sits in your garage (and employs the people building the car) isn't in itself a bad thing or an indication that you're not contributing to the common good.

In a free society, someone can spend their money on an extra toy if they want. Nothing wrong with that. It's a strange expectation to impose on others this notion of "spending only on the common good." It's not black and white what the common good is, and that is why an educated free market is a good proxy or mechanism for figuring that out.

Rather than top-down centralized planning.

Using a Dec VT220 from 1983 (2016)
My mom and i were just discussing my dog's visit to the veterinarian. She said that her father would never have taken a dog to the vet for those symptoms, but my dog got a blood analysis and a stomach X-ray. I spent a lot of money on all this, which paid the vet and their staff and the lab and the equipment manufacturers. Conclusion: increased wealth creates increased opportunity to work.
I’m just starting to explore cheap hosting for a web app and my initial digging suggests shared php hosting (with MySQL) is promising. It seems much cheaper than ruby, node, etc. Can anyone comment if my initial hunches are correct?
Agreed. I wish everyone who posted an entire podcast would have at least recommended a single impactful episode, especially as a place to start for those of us who haven't listened to the podcast at all.

Nice, instaflag rather than have the courage to reply. Might makes right, right? The bubble tends to have that effect on people.
Because every major tax cut, except George W Bush's lead to an economic boom that people felt. Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and Trump all pushed through major tax cuts. Each time it was followed by economic growth (except W).

Now most economists (including a recently published and definitive 65 year study of tax cuts) will tell you that those tax cuts did NOT cause the economic growth.

This is a case of academics fighting what people saw with their eyes and felt with their pocket books, so this argument will never die no matter how many papers are published "debunking" it. I have a hard time believing the economists myself having lived through all but Kennedy's tax cut, but it may be so.

Also, the person above was not talking about trickle-down, which is easier to debunk. I would definitely agree it is pretty clear that in most all cases the rich get richer when taxes are substantially lowered and very little trickles down. Trickle down is easier to "disprove" than a connection between tax cuts and growth.

Kennedy's tax cut and resultant economic growth appeared to help the middle class more than the others, but that was before we went off the gold standard and productivity and wages rose together.

And yes what happened in Kansas is sad. You can have very low taxes, but without something to attract talented people and businesses to your state, they don't do much good. No one is going to relocate to the middle of nowhere just to enjoy a modest tax benefit, and if you are a corporation you will likely just incorporate in Delaware anyway so why bother with Kansas?

I recently discovered iot, and good lord is that the best podcast. I adore how the host wrangles academics on his show to keep them on topic. Just hilarious. And the topics are all over the place, making each week a real undiscovered gem.
Agree there are lower risk paths to what most people would consider “rich” than Naval lets on. Still, his points on leverage and ownership are important ones I don’t hear elsewhere. Certainly not as concisely— each episode in the series is only a few minutes long, but full of insights. Give it a listen!

A request is not a visit. Each visit might have a up to a hundred requests (or even more when showing live data and caching a PWA on first visit for example). That would translate to one user per hour or two which even unpopular side projects can get.

How would flooding the economy with “free money” (UBI) not just cause mass inflation? Every experiment I’ve read has been on a small scale. How do economists know what will happen if you give an entire country (both rich and poor) extra money to blow every month?
True story, AMD's original price was different. I suggested this price in a pre-briefing the night before. I got an email at 4am of the announcement to say it had been changed.
There's two FoundMyFitness podcasts that positively impacted my life. I've been telling everyone I know to try a broccoli sprout smoothie because of the outstanding effect it's been having on my health. I suspect a fair number of HN readers might also benefit from giving it a try. Since this is still an active research topic I think it prudent to remind readers to take all health or medical claims with a grain of salt.

My first smoothie caused a physiological reaction and it lit up something in my brain. A while after drinking it I messaged a few friends to tell them that I value our friendship. It appears to make you less autistic, or something along those lines. There appear to be additional positive effects, although I hesitate to describe them because they even sounds like bullshit to my own ears.
