Oh man, I need this. I hope it works better than whatever I was trying before. I was using it to grab all my HN upvote/favs and using Postgres full text search on the article text, but most of them ended up being full of gibberish or missing loads of text. A good way for me to answer "where did I see that article last week..."
I think that is probably not a common enough use case to optimize for. Additionally it would be easy for a user in that position to just search "shirt" and ignore the occasional striped one, or to search "polka dot" and "paisley" seperately

I feel like this is a non-story.

> Dropbox privately paid top hackers to find bugs in software by the videoconferencing company Zoom, then pressed it to fix them.

This is pretty standard. For a big company looking to purchase services from another company, commissioning a pen-test is common practice. It doesn't mean anything bad, it's about mitigating risk.

Further, everything about these contracts is about mitigating risk. Zoom had privacy/security issues for individual consumers, but large enterprises have a contract that lays out it detail exactly what is required and expected, and I fully believe that Zoom was meeting those requirements because that's part of the enterprise software game.

Does a large enterprise care if its traffic is being routed through China? Probably not (unless there's a national security concern), because they will have insurance against any issues arising from that as part of their contract – Zoom will be liable for data leaked. Same goes for Facebook login being in the Zoom app.

Yes, it's not great for the privacy of individuals, but that's not the target customer of Zoom, and even the target _user_ is a corporate identity, not a user's personal identity tied to their Facebook account for example.
Actually all that is known is that there is shared genetic sequences that indicate interbreeding as one possible scenario. I've heard others make the claim that the same phenomenon could have been caused by populations of sapiens that had archaic genetic features (that is shared by both sapiens and neanderthal) from much further back.

I expect the genetic picture is far more complicated than we thought or think, and "interbreeding" is a simplistic way of talking about populations. Species are, after all, a taxonomical concept we invented, not an actual thing in nature. The lines are far more blurry.
Please see a follow-up from Mother Jones reporter Ali Breland [1].

While the Reddit thread accurately described that these domain names were all purchased by a single entity, it appears that this entity is not a shadowy conservative astroturf group, but rather a guy who purchased them to prevent them from being registered by conservative groups, or maybe just to squat on them.

He's now being doxxed.

"You can call me all the adjectives you want, but I do not care if earth explodes after I die. I just don't. I care for my benefits during my own life. I've said this before and I say it again, I do not have any moral problems with sacrificing other peoples benefits for my own benefits and neither should you. Doing this is insanity. Would you starve yourself to death so you can feed other people? Why should I care for other people? It's a silly notion. Maybe I'd care a little bit if I had children, but I don't."

I'm a bit surprised at how people spend energy engaging with this commenter without checking their history. Anyways, I really do hope it's a troll.
Of course, they should look at the data before making such an assumption. I am not suggesting otherwise, I'm just making a guess as to why it's been done this way. I suspect they have looked at the data and identified that it is not a common use case.
Yes, and my father started the business making it. Look for Jason Wiebe Dairy cheese.

Of course, I'm biased. And from the US. But I sure like it.
I appreciate the effort you've put in to "refute" me, but I do not think that you've actually put much thought into it.

I'm aware of how logic works, I have a degree in mathematics. I did not intend to use A=>B as a reason that B=>A; I was using both as self-evidential statements.

I'm talking about a completely different premise / system of thinking about medicine that I learned from several Indian / Native American tribal attitudes. In this way of thinking, there is no medicine that is not sacred. This operates more or less as an axiom, though they would probably not describe it that way. Because axiom implies an inflexibility and rigidity not intended... I don't think "sacred medicine" means "You can use however much of this substance in whatever fashion you choose and always have positive results." There are additional rules, guidelines, and best practices to consider, always. But if something brings you connection, warmth, healing, new awareness, humility, love for others, rapport with the Earth, insight into your life, etc, then we generally call that "sacred", and we also call it "medicine", even if the thing in question is just having a conversation, watching a dog play in the sunshine, or smelling the scents on the breeze. Sacred medicine.

If you're already formulating your rebuttal, please arrest the thought because I haven't really made any point yet. I'm just laying out the groundwork, describing how other cultures think about life.

I guess the one question I would ask you relates to your final statement.

>trap of assuming that because something is moral/sacred/good, its consequences must also be good. This is not so.

I find this silly. Of course you can have too much of a good thing, or use a good thing in a way that is ignorant of the larger system around it and end up doing harm. But are you sure you're not really trying to "refute" the existence of the spiritual, or of the sacred? If you refuse to believe in those things, or refuse to conceptually work with things you've never personally experienced, that is your choice. But I think you should identify that bias as driving your argumentation, and maybe take a step back if you have not had an experience in this realm. You wouldn't try to describe Italy if you'd never set foot in Italy, would you?

I don't really understand the evidence being promulgated. Anyone care to explain? In particular I'm confused at the distinction between 'astroturfing' and 'grassroots'. The chief complaint seems to be that a 'corporation' is behind the campaign as if this stands in opposition to a group of concerned individuals being behind it. Last I checked, any group of people can start a corporation, apply for non-profit status, and register a domain name. Shouldn't the criteria for distinguishing between astroturfing and grassroots involve more than just seeing if a corporation is behind the campaign? Shouldn't we have to look into which corporation is doing it, their history, etc? And if it is just another NGO/non-profit, which shouldn't the be allowed to campaign on behalf of their donors? I'm just confused honestly, and have never understood astroturfing. Help me hacker news.
It's pretty easy to understand this operation exists as part of an ongoing campaign to sow discord in the West. What better way to divide a nation than to encourage and exploit an existing polarization, rather than doing the dirty work yourself. Political subterfuge has evolved to be a lot more subtle - plant the seeds of discontent via Facebook events or meme factories, and watch groups take them up.

That point is akin to stating: These three companies have not solved the hard problem of common sense [1], so are not allowed to advertise their AI without looking silly.

Nobody has solved the common sense knowledge problem yet. A solution for that would qualify as Artificial General Intelligence and pass the Turing Test.

But search engines have come a long way. I even suspect that when search engines place too much logical - or embedding relevance to stop words such as "without", that, on average, the relevant metrics would go down. It is not completely ignored as "shirt with stripes" surfaces more striped shirts than "shirt without stripes". "shirt -stripes" does what you want it to do.

Searching for "white family USA" shows a lot of interracial families. Here "white" is likely not ignored as much, and thus it surfaces pages with images where that word is explicitly mentioned, which is likely happening when describing race.

You can use Google to find Tori Amos when searching for "redhead female singer sings about rape". Bing surfaces porn sites. DDG surfaces lists (top 100 female singers) type results. The Wikipedia page that Google surfaces does not even contain the word "redhead", yet it falls back to list style results when removing "redhead" from your query, suggesting "redhead" and "Tori Amos" are close in their semantic space. That's impressive progress over 10-20 years back.

Google Brings BeyondCorp Zero-Trust Security to the Masses
I have a PhD in NLP (which is what we often call it on the CS side, but is almost synonymous with CL="computational linguistics" on the cognitive/linguistics side of the field). I remember a talk at our annual conference, well-attended, perhaps around 2003 or so. The speaker was from one of the labs that was really leaning into "big data", which was only just becoming possible at that point, and argued persuasively that we should all just throw out our parsers and formalisms—ditch the computational linguistics side, basically—because we were on the edge of functionally infinite (unsupervised) data, and supervised and partially supervised systems would never ever be able to keep up. He presented performance numbers and how the unsupervised systems needed a lot more data to compete with the supervised systems, but that data was available, and he threw more and more and more data at the system and it got better and better. (I no longer remember the specific task he was using to illustrate his point.)

There were gasps in the room and a kind of depressed acquiescence: geez, he might be right. And the pendulum indeed swung in that direction, hard, and the field has been overwhelmingly dominated by the statistical machine learning folks on the CS side of the field, while the linguists kind of quietly keep the flame alive in their corner.

But I thought then, and I still think now, that it really just was another swing of the pendulum (which has gone back and forth a few times since the birth of the field in the 1960s). Perhaps it's now time again for someone to ring up the linguists and let them apply their expertise again?

Some time ago we've visited the San Diego's USS Midway aircraft carrier (now museum).

There was an old air-force gentleman, explaining various bits, I don't remember everything, but this one:

So basically, he was asked why air pilots were asked to raise their hands (visibly) before taking off. And the explanation was, that this is to make sure that they are not fiddling with the plane, such that whoever works on the ropes (up front the plane), is safe, and can prepare the plane for taking off. Apparently, there were lots of hotshots, and you can't trust them :)

(Probably my memory is not serving me alright in all details, but it was something along the lines, if anyone can provide more detailed material - it'll be great! I would like to share it with my father too - an ex air military officer)
What we are going to see this year is a "run on the colleges". Just like there were runs on the banks in the 19th century, we will now have a new phenomenon, of run on the colleges. Right now colleges are preparing for a 20% decreased enrollment for the Fall semester. Due to blog posts like this one, and generally people talking with one another, a lot of students will realize that if schools are budgeting for an 80%-year, it's better to skip the year and come back in Fall 2021. My guess is that we'll actually see a 40% reduction in enrollment.

This will not make a difference for institutions like Harvard, Yale, Stanford with huge endowment funds. But it may break the back of many a poorer college. The 2020-21 academic year is going to be very interesting...
That doesn't matter. If you sell a contract for August now, the buyer of the contract is the person who has to worry about the price of the contract going down. As the seller, you just have to deliver the goods as specified by the contract. You've already been paid.

The relevant missing fact here is that the 300% ROI ignores the cost to operate a supertanker.

This survey is about team chat apps, and what people look for when choosing the right team chat app. This is made for market research only and has nothing to do with the company, and/or product the company is developing. The purpose of this research, as stated before, is to get an idea of what people want in a team chat app. The results will be collected and put into a research report.
Most of the person results appear to be 'Time Person of the Year' related. Another result is a guy with the last name Person. The results don't seem to be related to the definition of the word 'person'.

> 43% of remote workers feel it is important
to work for a company where ALL
employees are remote…

As a full time remote worker, I've also felt that having everyone else is great. In every case I've work with a colocated team, they end up snubbing you in weird ways.

This snubbing is just a cultural thing. There's no technical reason remote workers should feel left out if working with another team.

I've found that most colocated team members rarely write well, and often do not track, or even follow up on complex team decisions. When everyone is remote, it often forces some better communication. Frequently, the teams have to "double up" on the media used to communicate, which almost always requires some written communication.

Now that everyone's remote in quarantine, I've heard complaints from the colocators about "having to overcommunicate". But really, it's just learning to communicate well.

This metric of "how many all-remote workers want everyone else to be remote", really seems like a great test for "how well does your company communicate?"

This is not just a guy on Twitter, he's a well-known reporter for Mother Jones Magazine.

What he's saying does not dispute anything in the well-cited Reddit post. It just offers new information which paints it in an entirely different light. Because rather than basing the entire allegation on WHOIS records, he reached out to talk to the person involved, something that reporters do, but the Reddit hivemind does not.
Yes, that would be a better user experience as:
1. not everyone will think to use quotes
2. it would probably be more resilient to minor user errors too (eg if it had been misused misheard as The Book of Way you'd still have a fair chance of it returning the desired result fairly high in the list)

You make such a confident-sounding blanket generalization across all human behavior that goes counter to everything I have ever experienced that I don't even know how to reply to this comment.

Do you honestly not believe that people take ease of access to their loved ones when deciding where to work? I've had countless conversations with people talking about how they chose jobs to be closer to family. Transportation lets you convert the spatial metric of "closer" to a measure of time and cost instead. If flights double in price, that means seeing family half as often, which can easily make the difference between choosing job A over job B.

Best of luck in this. I recall during the last FERC Conference on Software that there was at least one academic presentation where they talked about trying to find a good way to visualize these things with a web browser. I can't remember what the specific challenges were though.
Nature didn't give psilocybin to us as a "gift" in order to help us figure out the world. Just like everything else that can be used and consumed by humans, we co-opted this organism for our own purposes. Psilocybin was evolved by these mushrooms as a defense mechanism against animals trying to eat it, just like every other psychoactive drug. It's a poison, not a medicine. We just so happened to be big enough and our brains wired in a certain way wherein it doesn't kill us or make us feel awful, instead it has the opposite effect.

Yes, we absolutely SHOULD be extracting and studying psilocybin and all of the ways it interacts with our brain. With any luck, we can pinpoint the extremely beneficial parts of the drug and create new synthetic compounds that aren't rife with the normal side effects of a psychedelic experience. Perhaps we'll be able to give this new compound to people with mental disabilities or conditions which would prevent them from taking a psychedelic of kind. Or if it was safe enough, it might make an entire class of SSRIs obsolete as mushrooms have a beneficial effect on those of us with anxiety and depression. I have anxiety, and while micro-dosing every day would probably solve that problem, a whole host of side effects comes along for the ride that wouldn't really be great for things like my job, so the SSRI works for now. But if you told me I could take 1 pill of $SOME_SYNTHETIC_DERIVED_FROM_PSILOCYBIN every 2 weeks instead of 1 pill of lexapro every day, I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat, and I'm sure everyone else would too.

That doesn't mean 'shrooms would go away, far from it. In fact, I think the more research Big Pharma does on psychedelics, the easier it will be to obtain them. It's already pretty easy (and legal) if you know where to look for spores, and at that point it's just buying some equipment and waiting. I pine for the day that mushroom growing kits are sold that make it totally painless for people to grow their own.
