I'm very big fan of Elgg
https://elgg.org

I believe that this social networking framework has a great future.

Look at these projects which created using this engine:
Minds https://www.minds.com
Pleio https://pleio.nl
GCconnex and GCcollab https://github.com/gctools-outilsgc/gcconnex

There is even a Platform that will make building apps based on Elgg easier https://wzm.me/

Right now this project needs more cotributors to help it develop even more https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg

Their work assumes the AdS/CFT correspondence.

"Our new paper provides a rigorous proof of this claim in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, where quantum gravity is defined in a mathematically precise way, and we have done so in the most general way, excluding all possible global symmetries from quantum gravity,"
So you can avoid using a search engine and just ask your “friends” on Facebook whatever you want an answer for and benefit from their collective wisdom? The answers may not be instantaneous, but you’d be connecting with humans instead of with machines.

And that was despicable. Here the entire media spectrum has hardly complained about the fact that the sitting PM, a man FAMOUS for lambasting his predecessor as a mute, has never had a single non-staged media appearance.

IIRC the ONE time Modi did have a question session without being in control, it was a disaster.

And of this fact, there is not the slightest self awareness or questioning from the reporters or heads of news channels.
Having worked on neither, I blame it on someone trying to impress a lady.

The title is almost certainly a reference to CS Lewis’s famous book “Mere Christianity”.
> He may be right, but if Google is bad at ads, it's not for any lack of incentive alignment. They make more money by serving up the most efficient (i.e. high-paying + likely to be clicked) ads. It's not impossible, but it's hard to picture another organization having both the economic means and incentives to do it better than Google does.

Yeah, I think the only way that would happen is if someone came up with a novel superior approach to search and managed to legally protect it so Google couldn't just copy it. That's a very unlikely at this point.

> But it is manifestly the case that they will cease to do so when Google's answers cease to be the least efficient for whatever purposes users have for those answers.

I don't think I agree with this. Users don't necessarily behave rationally in self-interest: they can be (and are) manipulated, and unwilling to try new tools.

It looks to me like that quote is talking about one particular sequence that they've left out of their list (it's explaining why they did that), not about the 13 sequences that they have listed.
When Einstein worked on nuclear bomb the saying was: If he fails French will say he's American, Americans will say he's German, and Germans will say he's Jew. If he succeed Germans will say he's German, Americans will say he's American, and French will say he belongs to the world.
That involves interrupting your session to go into settings.
And none of those are media channels, and are extremely small when it comes to circulation.

Metro 4 – What is it?
Thank you so much for putting this together! When I did Ember.js development, this was one of the features I missed the most when using other JS frameworks.
I meant xorg and wayland but I just tried everything.

Currently on wayland stellaris and EU4 won't start for me, I didn't even know stellaris was broken until now, that was one of the better working ones.

On xorg they will all start but games are offset and sit below the top bar in gnome, The mouse isn't offset so it's completely unplayable. One of them used to work fine in xorg though, not sure which.
I didn't know that. I knew that Cololsi gave wargoals but didn't connect the dots that they are total war goals. Never bothered buying Apocalypse, because it didn't seem to offer that much I cared about. Perhaps that was a mistake on my part.

I should have also mentioned that Stellaris has some DLCs which are de facto mandatory, which is just the way Paradox does things. Utopia is all but officially required. Apoc I guess I should have bought. Leviathans is IMHO very useful too. Not sure if anything else can be called mandatory?
Your proposed syntax becomes ambiguous when you are more than one level deep. What would be the meaning of an expression like f (g (x y)) ?

Is it (f (g x y)) or (f g (x y))?

I don't understand a lot about how the computer in front of me works (ok, I know more than the average person, but still I don't know a whole lot). Yet I'm still able to use it.

We understand enough of the effects gravity to describe most phenomena that are relevant for most other parts of science. From my lay understanding what physicists are missing is how to tie in gravity with all the other theories they believe are true. However the effects, whatever they are, are so small that we can in most cases just ignore them.

>which is probably enough that it would have been worth getting a quote from a locksmith

He mentions basically doing that:

> I researched getting a locksmith to come out, it would run hundreds of dollars in their time plus you can only re-key locks to a key made by the same manufacturer

> I could save money by bringing the locks to a locksmith’s store, replacing off brands with a single brand and re-installing myself, and there are esoteric expensive kits on Amazon for locksmith-style rekeying, but each brand requires it’s own $80 box of materials plus many hours of practice to master
The GPS antenna on the LTE tower should only be picking up signals from the sky. Transmitters on trucks would need to reflect off of aircraft in order to cause trouble, which would greatly weaken the signal.
I meant easy way for non computer literate people. You handed someone a phone, installed Whatsapp, it sent the auto verification text and now you could communicate without having to know your own username/password or without have to know someone else’s username. It was seamless, and that’s why it caught on so quick, and requiring the phone number verification made it so there was no spam.

The on boarding was so quick and painless, I feel like that’s what made it spread so quickly.
Just because something is obvious once shown to you doesn't mean it was immediately present in your mind beforehand, so being made aware of it can still be valuable.

But agree that there's diminishing returns from these insights and focusing more on the specific details of your life is usually more impactful.
Because it's a VP position and not an entry level job?

In my opinion, the medium is the problem. It's easy to read advice. It's hard to know how to apply general advice to a concrete situation. For that, you need to be in a live conversation with someone wise or knowledgeable.
I just did that. When it came to choosing accounts for the list, Twitter presented those I follow and I could choose them with one click each.

I don't know if it works with many follow-ees(?), I have only a few.
Sad that the corporate types even at Firefox have everyone believe this is necessary.
It's usually easy to relegate yourself to the issue of various periodic measures being some crazy human duration long and just writing the software to use a common date/time library and live with it.

Harder are the moments when you actually care if one time has longer seconds than another due to leap seconds or smearing over the day to spread out a leap second.

It's really just easiest if you take nothing for granted, and even assume that clock-cycles aren't of a fixed duration but of a given quanta of work.
People who dance to the beat of their own drum rather than conforming automatically, garner a lot more respect from me. Otoh, people who are rebel against the "norm" just to be edgy are very obvious and are a detriment to their credibility on the onset.

I couldn't care less if someone's wearing shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt to give a presentation if they obviously know what they're talking about.

Wear what's comfortable, with some respect to common decency - wearing a speedo to give a presentation on a JS library probably won't warrant a great response (though I'm sure stranger things have happened).
I don't use twitter and I don't really know what this is, but it's at the top of the hn. I mean, I obviously know what twitter is and have read tweets, but otherwise this is kind of foreign. Can someone explain what these are used for?
I like this discussion more than the article. Someone should do a follow-up. We wasted $50K and then we wasted a write-up of our learnings, so you don't have to.
The Hedgehog Review itself is a wonderful publication. I recommend subscribing!
I think it's probably more to the structure of the denominations themselves. Like Catholicism, central to Mormonism is the central authority of the church, including priesthood authority. Most Protestant denominations, predominant in the US, are not nearly as rigid in their beliefs regarding priesthood authority, centralized authority, or even a set dogma. If your local Baptist/Lutheran/Methodist church isn't tolerant of certain beliefs, or you don't feel comfortable there, it is relatively easier to just start up your own church. In Mormonism (and Catholicism), this doesn't happen, because the centralized authority of the church is a key piece of the doctrine. For Protestant denominations, they largely reject this central authority, so they tend to be more fluid on these topics. In regards to race, this wasn't an issue with the Catholic church, but with other topics (say, celibacy of priests), there aren't "we maintain the legitimacy of the Church in Rome but our priests aren't celibate" type denominations popping up much.

I suspect this is why, even though there was much by way of explicit prohibition of races in many churches throughout the US, most churches seemed to have ended up segregated anyways.
It's true that he passed the interviews and everyone seemed to love him, but would you hire someone who lied to the extent that he did?

> New code doesn't have to use old features.

Yeah but it's hard to manage in multiple ways. Is there good tooling to help? And it means a lot of references you could normally check are using features you can't use.

Plus none of your libraries are going to agree on what parts to use.

> Letters, phone calls, and, where appropriate, surgery appointments are perfectly adequate for people who genuinely need my help

The insinuation that just because someone may not want to use a particular communication channel (or conversely, may need to use a particular channel), that they then are not genuine in their request for help is disingenuous and self-serving. Someone may genuinely need help and may likewise genuinely want to use email because they do not have ready access to a phone, or find it vastly more inconvenient, and need help in a manner faster than mail or setting up a surgery appointment affords.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I've been preaching this approach ever since watching Gary Bernhardt's talk on "Boundaries" [1].

Splitting conditional logic from dependencies makes code so much easier to test. If you can do that, there's no need to mock anything. You can just pass simple data objects into your conditional logic for testing, and use a handful of integration tests to validate the end-to-end flow.

Two other words I would like to see given more usage by English speakers are overmorrow and ereyesterday. For two days after/before today. They aren't ancient and you can find usages in books from the 20th century, but most people don't know them.
I don't think it was just the resume inflation, it's the fact that he meticulously went out and created a number of fake individuals with fake references. That's not something a normal person does when looking for a job.

Beyond that, the back-channel check where he "wasn't a culture fit" becomes a lot more alarming once you learn that he went through that level of effort to lie to get the position. I had a boss like that at a previous job. He always had an answer, confident, well liked by the higher ups in the company. But a menacing sociopath to all of his reports. Calling employees on weekends, micro-managing, belittling. It took the entire team quitting for the company to realize its mistake.

And that was just some mid-level manager, not a VP of Engineering whose behaviour may impact the entire company.
>Facebook: Does this even need a replacement?

Do you go to parties? Serious question. It's hard to discover events without Facebook these days. It's the only place some promoters advertise.
Agh, mildly infuriating (enfrustrating?) article. A little tease about the result and then several paragraphs about how science is serendipitous and face to face interactions are better than email and video conferencing.

This... still seems like a lot better than Chrome. No personal data is being collected, just basic telemetry data on browser function for debugging and an IP address. I'm going to call this Mostly Harmless.

Meanwhile, the article is coming from a company that's selling privacy on a for-profit basis, towards a non-profit focused on attempting the best privacy possible. Most of their products are in the same space as Mozilla.
I think the level of "corrupt" is up for some debate, but it's pretty inarguable that the US pays substantially more for a system that is objectively worse in many ways.

So your sarcastic comment is actually correct...
There are too many to list. An online search is a better idea.

Here are two instances:

Google was (and probably still is) tracking your location on Android even when you turned off location services and storing it against your account.

Google signed you in automatically into Chrome whenever you signed in to a Google property. This change removed the ability to keep your Chrome browsing data strictly locally. After some Internet outrage, this was reversed.

> Google is acting as a responsible steward for the information they collect.

OK, but that's beside the point. The point is that they collect information about me without my consent.

> There are much, much worse actors out there that are far more deserving of the spite that is sent in Google's direction.

Let's say this is true. That in no way means that we shouldn't complain about Google as well. I direct my ire at all companies that I consider abusive. That some of those may be more abusive than others isn't a free pass to the less abusive ones.

Donald Knuth also does reply to email; he just doesn’t tell you he does. I once got a response from him late in the evening, well after any secretary would have gone home.

I mean without mass production it also means you're dealing with new mistakes every time you create a new reactor.

This idea that mass production creates more mistakes really doesn't make sense when you actually think about it.

If you compare across, say, Google employees in their 20's, the difference between fat people and healthy people is 99% discipline.
It is a VP position for a small, medium startup. The equivalent of a middle manager anywhere else.
That comment on that page from Kristian G. Andersen is mildly disturbing (http://archive.is/O1vhN)... As Associate Professor, Scripps Research, Director of Infectious Disease Genomics, SRTI etc etc I assume he knows what he's talking about when he states:

"That means that the outbreak was detected almost immediately after the first case, which - given that this is flu season in China - is just amazing. Detecting an outbreak of pneumonia (similar to flu) of a novel coronavirus that fast is truly impressive."

I'm not sure I really want to wear this tin-foil hat, but it would certainly be easier to identify a novel coronavirus if it came directly from your own BSL-4 lab in Wuhan https://www.nature.com/news/inside-the-chinese-lab-poised-to...

Does it work with the simple Chinese rice makers (rice cooks in about 15 mins)?

Big problem I see with this approach tho is crust-to-dough ratio. All the flavour is in the crust. Same with cooking incredibly thick steaks in sous-vide - at some point you just start just eating rare meat.
A focus at the grade school level of using evidence to reach a conclusion instead of having a conclusion and backing it with evidence. For adults who already have their beliefs set, having someone close to them slowly analyze their beliefs helps.

Also, realizing that sometimes the conspiracy theorist are right. How to draw a distinction between secret CIA projects or NSA spying verses faking moon landings and contrails. Getting conspiracy theorist to focus on true conspiracies might be far easier than getting them to drop conspiracy theories in general.
Peretti is talking about the quality of the ad service, not the quality of the ads themselves. Peretti is suggesting that maybe Google's service isn't anything special, and their success is due to their insanely large audience.

The comment you replied to goes even further to suggest there's no real talent to serving ads at all, and that everything depends upon the audience size. That's not just semantics.
Structured Text Tools
It also means each time you create a new reactor, you never learn from past mistakes. Thinking that mass production causes more mistakes makes no sense when you actually think about it.

Cars/guns/airplanes/even furniture all benefit from mass production to keep costs and mistakes down. There's no reason why reactors would be magically exempt from it.
Correction, Google shows ads based on what you search for, which locations you visit, who you communicate with, what kind of photos you take, who’s in the photos you take and so on. All the data collected by Google is intended and used to shove ads to you, since ads is the biggest money earner for Google by a huge margin. None of the Google services are provided “free” out of some benevolence.

If you’re using Android, Google has been snooping on you a lot more often than Facebook could dream of.

...and yet, it was the center of big, old liberal media that broke the Weinstein story, not some investigative citizen-youtuber.

And a large part of Ronan's story was to try how this worked. It wasn't that the people who knew (to varying degree) did not want to out him. They just feared for their livelihood, and sometimes more.
Of course I would not hire him, but I left this comment because this artificial gate-keeping that pushed the hire to lie is a ridiculous trend.

Let's say that this hire didn't lie on his resume, he would still successfully pass the interview but he would never get to that point anyways.
Well, the current govt introduced black box, unlimited size, electoral bonds.

So pretty much anyone can spend billions to buy a bond, and then have it anonymously sent to their party of choice.

The party which has been spending the past several years building a rock solid link to corporate India is the BJP.

They're earnings the last year was greater than the other top 3 parties combined, if not top 4. Think it was nearly 400% growth.

For Chidambaram and his ilk, it seems his greatest fault was not thinking big enough.

I do agree that they are no saints. Its just the scale at which the BJP functions is so many step function increments higher, that its laughable to compare the two.
No. France is retiring plants and has a nominal plan to retire 30% of their nuclear generating capacity in the next decade.

There is one plant being built at Flammanville. It is 11 years over schedule and 400% over budget, and still not certain that those will be the final numbers.
