I'd like to know the exact questions asked to determine whether someone was sexually abused or not, but I have a hard time finding the studies cited in your link. As I interpret the text from your link, a teenager voluntarily sending nudes to their partner would count as sexually abused because they participated in the creation of child pornography.

It's an irrational "feel safer" though. Despite no legislated requirement for mixed size impact tests, enough have been done to see that tiny cars do surprisingly well. Whether the microscopic Smart Car against an max size old Volvo estate, or super mini against a Range Rover. They are categorically NOT destroyed in an impact with the SUV barely taking a scratch.

I mostly agree with the rest though. :) My solution would be to copy the Scandinavians with a yearly car tax derived from a combination of weight over say 500kg and emissions.
If DNT was legally binding, they wouldn't be allowed to use that additional bit of entropy.

> One interesting thing you'll notice about IEEE754 is that the values sort naturally if you interpret them as sign-magnitude integers

With a few bit-twiddling tricks you can even make them radix-sortable, as explained by Malte Skarupke:

> Michael Herf has also discovered a good way to generalize this to floating point numbers: Reinterpret cast the float to a uint32, then flip every bit if the float was negative, but flip only the sign bit if the float was positive. The same trick works for doubles and uint64s. Michael Herf explains why this works in the linked piece, but the short version of it is this: Positive floating point numbers already sort correctly if we just reinterpret cast them to a uint32. The exponent comes before the mantissa, so we would sort by the exponent first, then by the mantissa. Everything works out. Negative floating point numbers however would sort the wrong way. Flipping all the bits on them fixes that. The final remaining problem is that positive floating point numbers need to sort as bigger than negative numbers, and the easiest way to do that is to flip the sign bit since it’s the most significant bit.

Up until recently in most JS engines it was faster to sort typedarrays with a custom radix sort than with the built-in sort (seems to no longer be the case, thank goodness)

You don't want to sell it to people that can easily build it them-self. You want to sell to people that has the specific problem and in need of a solution.

There is always the possibility that your idea will get stolen. But again, those that can easily build it them-self will have a hard time seeing the business value, and will think your idea is stupid.

People are saying that you do not just submit your trained model to Kaggle. You also submit the code that was used to train the model from the training set, which is used in the winning models to train them from scratch on the training set. Of course, that wouldn't have prevented this type of cheating of course, but it does mean that you can't submit a model that was trained on your own private data set.

No particular advice here, I just want to point to the fact that bing allows users to search their organization documents (office 365 files) when using bing [1] when connected with their org account.
This feature is named "Microsoft Search in Microsoft 365". It's not mentionned in the article.
See original ms doc article for details [2].

So it's not just a way to force users to use bing, it's also a way to push this feature in front of them.

> By making Bing the default search engine, users in your organization with Google Chrome will be able to take advantage of Microsoft Search, including being able to access relevant workplace information directly from the browser address bar. Microsoft Search is part of Microsoft 365 and is turned on by default for all Microsoft apps that support it.

This is good news, given the circumstances. Google doesn't show a welcome screen in Chrome to select your default search engine, and this action somewhat helps with mitigating that imbalance.

Considering Chrome's market share, it's only a matter of time until Google will be required to show a search engine choice screen in the browser, they were already ordered by the EU to do it for the default Android browser and search engine.
I am pretty sure that's the standard legalese for most platforms. Reddit and YouTube also effectively have the same wording.

To me it’s no different. Whether they’re thirteen or thirty, I’m not obligated to donate time to help them grow. In fact I’d say “student drivers” deserve less of my time — I’m not a free tutor unless I explicitly agreed to such.

That said, I deal with one-off contributors with respect and handhold out of kindness when necessary (assuming they’re not rude). But I don’t feel like explicitly setting the expectation that I will handhold, especially on trivial patches that’ll take me less time on my own.

Advertisment existed for a way longer before any printed media. We know of advertisement in Ancient Egypt and Ancient China, in Rome and Greece.

Even if we only take the age of mass-produced media, it's almost 200 years without tracking.

STEM people have a real blind spot with this.

Who runs the world? Not STEM people. Most politicians have a legal and/or liberal background. They may also have a background in STEM - particularly likely in Europe, less so in the US - but you get nowhere in politics without studying and understanding foundational liberal arts skills such as rhetoric, persuasion, and public debate.

The idea that liberal arts majors spend their entire time writing on essentially useless activities - like post-structural critiques of famous literature - is hilariously naive.

Some liberal arts academics do indeed do this, but that's because the liberal arts have pure and applied elements. Just like STEM. And STEM academics also spend their time on wildly impractical theoretical pastimes.

But at the applied end, the liberal arts run the planet. They don't keep the lights on - engineers do that - but they set the policy goals and define the political, economic, moral, and philosophical orthodoxies that virtually everyone conforms to, whether or not they're consciously aware of it.
Perhaps. HN has had a steady stream of procrastination articles ever since I remembered. They're of interest to those of us that come here to procrastinate :).
> Math and physics are solidly on the STEM side when people argue the merits of STEM vs liberal arts.

That's my point. I disagree with the assertion that STEM is separate from liberal arts education. Historically it hasn't been true. And it's not true today.

> So instead of arguing semantics, understand what people mean.

Not arguing semantics. I understand what people mean and I am disagreeing with them and I provided sources and historical proof.

> When they say "Don't study STEM, study liberal arts"

Who says don't study STEM, study liberal arts?

> but instead "Don't study anything which requires more math than Algebra 1".

You've built up an exaggeration of the side you are arguing against. That's not an honest portrayal of the issue at hand.

You can study both science/engineering/etc and history/philosphy/politics/etc. It's called getting a well rounded liberal arts education. The backbone of science, technology, engineering and math along with philosophy, history, politics, etc. My suggestion was increase the amount of "STEM" within the liberal arts education system we already have - particularly the technology and engineering. It's not an either-or issue that people like to portray it as.
It collapsed all record-keeping, anyway. The people who sacked the cities were probably very bad trading partners. It would not be safe to beach a ship. Trade with Egypt would still be possible, but stopovers elsewhere would be hazardous.

Hi all, hope you can get some use from this list!

This list isn't for growing a community around your product, to do that you should spend time finding out where your users live online, and come up with some creative and human ways to interact with them for feedback.

This list is for boosting traffic to a page for a specific purpose (like a Product Hunt launch). Some might say that posting about your startup on startup directories is a waste of time because the resulting traffic is a vanity metric, but when a couple of upvotes can make a big difference on your big day you'll want as many as you can get.

Would love any feedback on the list, I'm sure there are some improvements that can be made!

i hope someone will build a thingiverse like site where you can upload any model design and order the necessary bricks to build it.

there won't be a trademark issue for the brick producer, as they are only delivering an assortment of bricks. the model design comes from elsewhere.

trademark may be enforced against uploaders of protected designs, but that is no problem as the design can still be shared elsewhere and it can't outright prevent anyone from ordering a certain assortment of bricks.
The Daily Lights
And to give some more perspective:

1) Realize that this was back in 2007, when most people only dreamed of making $100,000 USD annually.

2) And housing prices were exceeding $500,000 USD in most of the state of California, because of all the shady house flippers borrowing on the ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) loans. So $800k was a significant percentage higher than most already over-priced mortgages at the time.

3) In order to qualify for a normal 30-year fixed-rate loan to buy a $500k house with 20% down, then you’d need to make an annual salary combined of $120,000. And since most people didn’t make that much, then you’d have to be dual-income to afford that mortgage.

4) And there was a saying at the time: House rich, but home poor. Meaning that these people bought an expensive house, but they were too poor to fill it with any furniture.

Because GP phrased it as being absolute. Yeah, perhaps it's true for some. Frankly, those have it easy - there's a clear path to solving the problem: stop doing what you hate, perhaps first resolving the issue that forces you to do the things you hate.

For me and many others here, procrastination is completely orthogonal to whether you hate something or not. That complicates things, because you can't just switch tasks, or jobs, to solve the problem or even to recover your mental strength.

The author's point is that adding some technologies such as JS sound like a good idea because at the beginning they are used reasonably, but they then get abused.
