Not sure why you're downvoted. The general public (including OP) still believes that Yelp manages reviews differently for businesses that purchase advertising.

There is zero physical evidence that Yelp does or ever did this. The only thing that Yelp ever did was move one positive review to the top of the page for advertisers, and I'm pretty sure they abandoned that practice a long time ago.

It's pretty obvious to me that unsophisticated business owners are simply drawing false inferences when they receive a sales call and then receive a negative review. Confirmation bias at work.

Here's an old Hacker News comment that seems to me to probably be close to reality: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1149078
Louis Rossmann has a Mac repair store in New York and, when I was subscribed to him, had posted numerous videos about his experiences with Yelp.

One example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CIGKxLcoso
We implement a Wayland compositor interface via `wlroots`. Windows can launch like usual in our environment (i.e. via DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY).

X11 apps are supported via Xwayland.
This just is not true. I have worked with a number of companies that have tried to pay Yelp to unhide their legitimate, positive reviews and there was nothing Yelp would do about it, no matter what proof you offered of the transaction or customer relationship.

Their algorithm rules all, sales has zero say in it.
Show HN: Convert any piece of writing into a tweet using AI
yeah, that's what i meant by "linear" (as in linear types, similar to rust's ownership stuff, just terminology i'm more familiar with)
There's a coherent worldview where this isn't hypocritical:

> Encryption is for hiding our comms from China and Facebook, which keeps you safe. Hiding your comms from America makes it harder for America to keep you safe. Encryption should be weak enough to let the US government have the knowledge it deems necessary, but strong enough to build a moat around that superiority.

It's misguided for a bunch of reasons that HN well understands, but it holds water. That's what makes it scary: not that it's absurd, but that unless you're both well educated and skeptical, it sounds downright responsible.
Asking a person to disprove someone else's claim to the affirmative is not how the scientific method is supposed to work. The burden of proof should on the person that is claiming something is happening, rather than burdening everyone else with the disproof. This is a fundamental problem with conspiracy theorists' methods-- they often say, "You can't prove it's _not_ happening!". This is called shifting the burden, and it's a popular argument in theology.

Bertrand Russell's Teapot is an example of what I mean:

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense."[1]

In that same vein, it would be a supreme waste of time to try and scientifically debunk the trolls that are promoting this nonsense; they have the burden of proof.

Still I agree it would be fun to watch it be debunked. But how would you propose it be done? Gather a large number of healthy people around a 5G tower and do a cohort study of COVID-19-like symptoms among that group and compare to a control population? There's any number of possible methods, but it sounds pretty silly when you say it out loud.

What's worse is even if you _did_ such a study, its results would fall on deaf ears as far as the conspiracy theory folks go. They are not interested in proof.

Fold Card – The First Bitcoin Rewards Card
If that’s true, the only part that’s in any way wrong about that is allowing businesses to affect reviews at all.
Not sure I understand? "...a brand new language feature that’s never been thought of before..." would that even be possible?

I was referring to features that may be in various other languages and not wanting them in Go just because they were "liked from other languages." I want them in Go "because they make Go a better language."™
To be fair even if they get what they think they it will fail and then they'll pout and try to move the goal posts again like how the DMCA failed to stop piracy or DRM from being cracked.

Of course indulging their utter folly leaves us all worse off so we need to stop them. I notably haven't gotten even an email or after sending an email calling out EARN IT as downright nationally suicidal given the how much of the US economy is dependent upon secure cryptography, and the obvious relationship between GDP and power, and that if they gave a damn about the children they would be investing more in social services and investigation instead of trying to seize more power.

Not sure if I reached them or got it put in a proverbial circular file or "enemies list/ban from volunteering as disgruntled" by a staffer but the fact they didn't send a "for the children" form letter bullshit is somewhat reassuring that it reached a real human and they at least recognized one case of "too pissed to even try to form letter bullshit" is a small victory and enough negative tickmarks to say "this is a bad plan" is the current win condition.

Of course a large victory would be dropping from sponsorship but that would be near impossible even if I was a connected great speaker who called him out in person.
I hope the whole business shuts down, this is the greatest day of my life. Yelp is scum!
> I don't think Signal could legally operate in the US with this act in place.

Of course they could operate. They would just have to backdoor their encryption. Which, presumably, is what this legislation wants to achieve.

They don't want a world with no chat apps, they want a world with chat apps they can listen to.

What Signal is saying in this blog post is that they would rather give up the US market than weaken their encryption. Which is worth saying, because it's probably not true for most other apps. Most corporations would not give up the US market, no matter what compromises they have to make.
There is a gpl version software polar bookshelf exists and its quite good https://getpolarized.io/
Beyond the (slightly behind trend) enthusiasm for blockchains Session is the same punt on contact discovery as lots of other systems that went nowhere. This works great for little secret decoder ring cliques but doesn't actually secure real people's day-to-day messages due to lack of discovery - your local butcher and the guy your sister went to college with never find out that you have the same secure messaging app, and so their messages to you aren't secured.

In contrast to your disinterest in convenience features, Session does have a bunch of things that presumably its principles felt were non-negotiable but clearly harm security. The "Open Groups" feature for example is basically "Eh, this is hard, we give up" for larger groups (500+ people). No end-to-end encryption and you're given either a moderator tool that doesn't work ("Ban" pseudonymous people who can for zero cost just create a new pseudonym) or one that's onerous ("Invite" everybody manually).
It's not really the same. Non-standard string literals in Julia are an adaptation of Common Lisp reader macros (which is much older than LINQ), which is a type of macro that allows to fully ignore the parser of the language for parts of the code (allowing you to create other parsers and therefore you're able to embed completely new languages). For example Julia allows to write sections in R [1] or C++ [2] using this technique. There are LINQ inspired libraries in Julia as well [3], but they are usually based on normal macros and use the standard Julia parser (just like LINQ is directly supported by the C# parser). Both types of macro execute entirely at compile time ultimately converting to normal Julia code at runtime.

I live in a village in NM filled with artists. I continue to be surprised to hear the stories of how their galleries take 40% or more. I'm even more suprised that they are happy with this, but the general rule seems to be that they are happy because the gallery they use now increased their annual revenue by more than 100%.
There is no wiggling. That wiggling you see in videos is your head movements not being in sync with the wearer’s head movements. You’re doing it right now, your brain is just anticipating and compensating for it.
Yes exactly. The "mindfulness" designation is a recursive one, where first you are mindful, then you are mindful of that which is mindful, and all the way down.
A lot of IBM products are in the cloud and the focus from Whitehurst as IBM president is that cloud, containers/K8s/RHOSP, and edge are the big things that will be going on. It will be very interesting to see how RH plays into the broader IBM strategy. Will RH become the platform and IBM becomes tooling, services, and products on top of that platform? Or will RH move to more consultancy and enterprise IT services? Coming from Cisco where the acquired company always gets folded into the mothership, I find it very interesting to see IBM's stance of keeping RH alone and mostly separate. At least for now...
You can already spread false rumors about anyone or anything with your Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. There's very little stopping you (within reason, of course).
Sure, and Signal is already working on usernames. Here's the kink: When you have low latency (video) calls, you can't route via Tor. When you can't route via Tor, you leak your IP to the server. When you leak your IP you're not anonymous, and when you're not anonymous, the server having the hash of your phone number isn't adding too much data to them.

When the server knows who you are, the app can use your existing contact list to discover contacts. This means unlike e.g. Telegram, Signal server doesn't store your contact list.

I e.g. constantly see people whose phone number I've already deleted appear on my Telegram contact list "X joined Telegram". Telegram knows I had the number at some point. This would never happen with Signal.
Depends. I don't know which glass they are using but I did some back of the napkin calculations for a project I was dreaming of that had some "glass" and it would cost $8-9k just for the glass alone. It was not that much glass. Probably a bit more than this cube.

That's if you are looking for some premium glass that won't shutter into a thousand pieces and hurt you. Same for steel, aluminum, high quality wood, etc...

So yes, it can be very expensive. A cheap wooden dwelling can be pretty cheap though.
WHO does not officially recognize Taiwan because the UN does not officially recognize Taiwan, and the WHO is a UN organization. It is as simple as that. If you disagree then you gotta take it to the UN.

The poor guys at the WHO just want to focus on fighting diseases, and yet everybody is trying to use them for political agendas. If I was that guy I would be inclined to shut down too.
Ask HN: Is there an open-source standard for resume entries?
Has there been any good portable, interoperable standard for defining the relationship between content and styling/formatting of a resume? I know on certain resume builders, you have a distinction between the content and style, but these don't seem to be portable across apps. Latex/word could seem like a good option, but you still need to copy/paste all of the info each time if you want to switch styles
That's what I assumed. Was the TPP that, or was there more to come? And if so, why was Hillary against it?

Trumps plan looks better on the surface but I think it is bigly flawed. To try to take them head on but not actually doing much. And he really hasn't even tried to crank them with the tarrifs.
But yes!

I don't mean to be flippant or unnecessarily mean, but my anecdotal experience is that many EHR systems are pretty widely derided by healthcare providers (i.e. end-users).

Maybe it's not a good thing that only 50 engineers were working on that system.
>7 digits were for plebs.
> Some of them are gross speed hacks, to cover up the slow speed that C++ causes.

That’s certainly an interesting sentiment in 2012…
I wonder if the ones I'm talking about have been deleted since I watched the video last night. I'll have to check again after work; it'd be nice to think Youtube is responding.
It's true, both were wrong.

It's also true that both sides presume the worst intentions when they say the other side was wrong.

I can't get over the fact, however, that only one side was (and still is) in a position to do something about it. Moreover that one side had access to better intelligence about the severity of the situation, and that one side sowed the seeds of their awful response over the past three years with the various cuts they made.
The connection needs to be secure at least initially when you are exchanging encryption keys.
"Python is slow" argument just shows complete ignorance about the subject. (and there may be good arguments for not using python)

First of all if you are doing "for i in range(N)" then you are already doing it wrong, for ML and data analytics you should be using NumPy "np.arange()", Numpy arange doesnt even run in "python" it's implemented in C. So it may even be faster than swift '..<' . Let me know when you can use swift with spark.
This is so cool! Erik, would you mind posting some more pictures of your container office? It looks very Ex Machina like from the picture and I'd love to see more and maybe even learn how you did what you did with it if possible.
It's a class of examples... This guy writes well about them:

https://github.com/TeamSPoon/logicmoo_workspace/issues/22

My own view on truth exists very far from but in the same space as logic. I don't think a formal truth can exist as a singleton, but that one must consider the set of all statements together with all possible truths. Maybe this is a matrix of statements times the transpose of statements but I'm not sure about that implementation. Anyway, you get an immensely sparse product where statements match up with everything that is true about those statements, along with everything that is false about those statements. You can then attempt to compress this data and that compression is the logic. The vast sparseness, meaning much more false evaluations than true ones, implies a lot of structure which can be exploited in compression.

I don't think anything but many-valued logic like this can be consistent.
Excerpt:

"

julia> a = function (x); x += 1; x += 1; return x; end

#13 (generic function with 1 method)

julia> @code_llvm a(3)

; @ none:1 within `#13'

define i64 @"julia_#13_17607"(i64) {

top:

; ┌ @ int.jl:53 within `+'

%1 = add i64 %0, 2 <-- <one instruction, not two>

; └

ret i64 %1

}"

Prior to reading this article, I did not know that Julia could compile LLVM at the function level... very cool!
Not all truth != not true
Add in the fact that humans can work together and then not all those roles need filling by each individual.
Can we please have new articles at least state the law correctly as anti-security instead of anti-encryption?
Market economy rewards people in proportion to what costs to replace them, so unskilled jobs get rewarded less. There is no chance in hell writing a crud app delivers more value to society than saving one single life.

> There has been a “significant uptick in inauthentic amplification” of posts on social media linking 5G to the coronavirus, UzZaman said, indicating that there could be a coordinated campaign and bot accounts involved.

Is there a correlation with anything that gets popular then sees an uptick in 'inauthentic activity'. I know most of the attention is going to be looking into 'dangerous' buzzwords but I'm curious to see what the standard baseline is for every trend, then seeing how it compares. Especially FUDy topics.

Social media 'bots' by their very nature would be picking up on any trend in order to boost their positions from which to seed other stuff. Assuming that's what they do (and actually have an audience beyond other bots which follow them)...

One thing being spread by bots doesn't point to a cause/effect by itself.

> the previous 24 hours, there had been more than 50,000 posts about the topic on Twitter and Reddit

I've seen a ton of people talking about 5G also, almost entirely making light of it or directly making fun of people who believe it. It's now commonly being cited whenever 'conspiracies' and COVID come up.

The raw statistics don't really scare me much, especially 50k".

I remember since I was in high school when the first cell towers (well before 3G) were going up and there was a small campaign by a girl in my class who lived on a farm next to another farm which got one. They were claiming it caused cancer and other stuff.

5G/cell towers aren't a very unique point of blame as much as people flailing about in the face of a mystery and pointing the finger at the same small group of common enemies from the past (not that the real 'enemy' isn't actually among them, but it's safe to be skeptical when they are brought up...).
So that's what that means! I remember reading a philosophy article using that word and not being able to make heads or tails of it, constantly thinking "how is intension related to intention?"
Have you considered using a mounted Leap Motion controller for interacting with the UI?

Would allow you to spin the windows around without having to spin yourself, for prolonged periods of "switching over to the right" for instance.

> It's not really a "threat". I don't think Signal could legally operate in the US with this act in place. More like saying: "If you effectively ban end-to-end encryption, we can't offer our end-to-end encrypted chat app in your jurisdiction any more."

Could they operate, so long as they implemented a mechanism to scan for and report child pornography? Assuming (optimistically) that the government committee that the EARN IT act mandates adopts reasonable standards.

I think this article gives a good background on the problem: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2020/03/06/earn-it-...

I (personally) think that client-side photo hashing and automated comparison against one of the child abuse databases should be sufficient. Alternatively, Signal could probably just disable features for sharing images in the US.
The lack of PFS is a big negative about keybase.
If I accidentally swap "Type I" and "Type II" in my mind, is that a Type I or Type II error?
Spot on. The thing is, content is still valuable and companies would like to access it on behalf of the government, but they now have to compete with private messaging apps. The big tech companies want the government to force them to make more profits on user data by forcing the backdoor. If this was something the tech companies didn't want, they'd be spending billions to lobby for the human right to privacy.

Together with a team of engineers at IntellectEU, we developed an initiative to raise funds to combat COVID-19. In essence, our application mimics the spread of the coronavirus in a digital and positive way. By creating a username, you receive a unique link that you can use (to donate to charity), and to share on social media to spread the love with all your friends, challenging others to #SpreadLoveNotCorona.
Thanks for letting us know about this bug. We just shipped a fix for it. Hopefully you won't be interrupted while browsing now :)

Cooking doesn't do anything for meat unless you cook low and slow. A quick cooked cut of meat is not easier or harder to chew.

Cooking made a big difference for vegetables because heat quickly breaks down some hard to digest fiber.
First, you or I probably could eat raw meat from a freshly killed wild herbivore with very little risk, compared to raw meat from a modern cow, raised in crowded conditions, handled by dozens of other humans, and pushed through various surfaces.

Also, there's a theory that fire and cooking is part of what allowed hominids to develop their superior brains and leave the trees behind for a fully savannah-based lifestyle.
