I think this is understandable. Modern technology is magic for large fraction of the population. 5G is just magical word that can contain anything. If you don't even understand the basics of science and technology, you have to trust others to decipher it for you. There is no shortage of explainers.

Most people interpret: responsible and correct statements like "there is no evidence" as "so it could be true".
> ”Read the claims carefully and investigate every single one of them because there are so many half-truths doing the rounds on social media.

Actually, there’s half truths (and full lies) being told everywhere, from advertising to politics, and it’s definitely not just limited to social media.

Once people lose trust in institutions it’s hard to get that trust back and people will look elsewhere.
Neither a bridge or poker player, but these games that have both a huge mathematical and psychological component to their strategy seem to be obvious games of skill. Even blackjack with much stricter (loosing) probabilities IMO is a game of skill because "good" players will lose at a slower rate than bad ones (even without card counting).

Rock-paper-scissors just seems too simple to allow for any performance improvements that don't involve luck or cheating. For a judge to highlight "speed of execution" or "the sense of observation" doesn't make sense; this sounds like bridge players using secret signals, or a roulette player trying to squeeze their bet onto the board after the wheel has slowed - skill should be related to performance within the parameters of the game, not waiting for your opponent to throw scissors and changing to rock...
Lets also note there is exploitation of certain groups to create a polarization that works to insulate and retain a sphere of influence. From 2010 onwards we see disinformation getting more successful. Sofar the beneficiaries seems to be the right wing with tea party aligned idiologies and the Russians, who benefit of the division by weakening the belief in a democratic system or by discrediting leaders who oppose Russia (as in Trump is more favorable than Hillary who would have upped the pressure together with a United Europe)
Same same in the UK and Brexit.

Although there are certainly double blind assets for these parties who also enjoy the rewards of this system and like to promote or sustain it. The extreme right, fake medicine, disinformation sites. It has become an system in its own right.

Show HN: Quick Cursor – use big Android phones with one hand
Free app without ads that makes it easy to use big Android phones with one hand.

The app can be found in Play Store with the name Quick Cursor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickcursor

It is an alternative to the already known Reachability Cursor app which, unfortunately, it is not maintained anymore (from 2018) and does not work on new Android versions.

I need help to collect any feedback on this early version. I'm interested in opinions about the idea, feedback on how it works on other devices, bugs, interesting features that might be helpful, etc. Anything you have to say about it!

Thanks HN!
Right?! But I'm personally intrigued by apps that I will never use, let alone "consume my life" because I believe it's important to stay abreast of the pop culture consumer tech trends...

"You don’t have to schedule a conversation or reach out to anyone and ask if they want to chat, you just open the app and start talking."

Sounds like another app appealing to the lowest common denominator: 'hey everyone, look at/listen to me!'
My very first night in Europe was spent in an AirBNB in Paris (2011, I think?). It was an upstairs suite in a house in one of the suburbs. At about 8am, there was a gentle quiet knock on the door; I open it up, and a 6-year-old girl asks me, in French, “would you like eggs?” I tell her I would, and she runs off and comes back with two eggs on buttered toast. They were delicious.

This was the very first night of solo travel for me, and it changed the day from starting out anxious (Where’s the subway? Where am I going to find food? What if I get lost?!) to starting out with a fresh cup of coffee and some delicious breakfast.

Could you get a similar experience in a hotel? Sort of. There’s usually a restaurant where you could get breakfast, but I don’t think you’re usually going to get this feeling of “someone actually cares”.
This is feature creep, now instead of knowing who has been close to infected people, they ‘need’ to know who has been close to whom and where many people have been close to each other.

Hardly surprising governments can’t stop talking about this once in a lifetime opportunity of peeking inside everyones private lives. Surely this information would never become available to secret services..
XSplit's VCam can do background removal without chroma-key. It's reasonably good, and emits a virtual webcam that VC clients or OBS can use as an input. Think it's 40 USD for a lifetime license. Has a bit of ghosting when you move quickly.
No their answer is “Fine. We don’t like the law and we will shut down entirely instead of breaking the law”. That’s a more correct choice than what Uber does - flagrantly break the law.

I’d be curious to hear counterpoints. I could be wrong. It does anyone think this will go away with a long enough lockdown? Or is there any solution other than herd immunity?
I stopped using Word when I need section numbering that wasn't completely broken. I am therefore not massively surprised they've left that broken for 20 years and decided instead to take sides in a white-space religious war. You know, to "help users."

Not that I know of. Just something you learn from experience or your users will tell you quickly during validation.
This angle is interesting insofar as the business prop/value potential.

Careful with your "you guys". I'm a leftist, and I advocate for health care as a human right.

In the USA, labor rights were earned by literally committing armed rebellion against corporate "company towns" [0], as in the West Virginia coal wars [1]. Without this, the USA would not have weekends or eight-hour workdays.

Even if Amazon did not exist, Facebook would still need a lot of computers and Google would still have a lot of spare compute, so public clouds might still happen. And if they didn't, well, maybe that's not a bad thing! It's not clear that public clouds are good.

The Washington Post is older than Bezos; it turns 143 this year [2]. Without Bezos, perhaps the paper would be dead right now, but perhaps it would be thriving, since the paywall on their online content was only built after Bezos took over.

I find your view "not even wrong" [4]; your history of the issue is so shallow that I can't even critique it without first establishing the historical context.

I partially agree with the article, but the examples given are very simple and don't prove anything. Saying that it's impossible to have good UX because A is good for some users and bad for others while B is the opposite doesn't prove that there is no option C which satisfies both types of users.
Like I said, it’s all been exposed as the house of cards that it is. Your enlightening information on the way the restaurant industry works doesn’t really make that mode of operation sound very good.

And like you said, your investment as an owner has returned 20% every year. Where does that go? Those kinds of returns are unheard of if I were to stick that money in an index fund.

So, business owners want to have their cake and eat it too - they want the reward (20% return on investment yearly) without the risk. The business closing is the risk.

Which goes back to my original point, which you didn’t address: why does any of this situation make it in the customer’s interest to spend their own cash on protecting someone else’s for-profit business? Will the customer get a slice of that 20% yearly return on investment?

Literally donating to your boss is now being seen as a noble pursuit.

As a household it’d be completely insane to operate on a six week runway - though I realize that potentially most Americans do. Still, those Americans have unemployment insurance and they have the ability to take up other jobs.

Maybe some more restaurant owners will figure out that basing profit solely on alcohol and running on lines of credit was a bad idea in the first place. Maybe restaurant prices will go up. Maybe restaurant prices are set too low in the first place - because more restaurants exist than need to. Most people are better off cooking food and making their own drinks - to answer your question on whether I’d pay two or theee times more for my drinks at the bar: I was pretty sure that’s what I was already doing when I went to the bar.
Interesting premise and article.

I do disagree with a lot of it since I believe more in maximizing human potential through mindfulness and tuning ourselves instead of our tools.

re: “ You don’t want to be the person who thinks their problem through on a piece of paper,...” For difficult problems I think you do want to be this kind of person. Walking away from your laptop, sitting outside or anywhere relaxing with a pad of paper and a pen, and really thinking is a super power.

The author’s good advice on spending a few minutes a day learning about your IDE/tools can also be applied to the idea of sitting quietly a few times a day with paper and pen and just thinking. If you don’t have this habit, how about trying it for just ten minutes a day to see if it pays off for your work style?
In German this is called Plenken [1] and if you're writing spaces before such double-characters, many people will think that you're not the smartest person. Angry comments under news articles often using this. Something this is called "Deppenleerzeichen" (idiot's space), but this is yet another thing in the German language [2].

I do this mentally when organizing my day. I usually only take one thing into consideration though. Such a simple app with great value to me personally. Thanks for sharing.
There's a difference between working in foodservice and making a TV show about it. I was talking about foodservice workers. You can probably build a successful cooking channel without much capital investment, but not a successful restaurant. Starting a successful restaurant requires talent°, equipment, and land; starting a successful website only requires talent.

That's what FAANG are competing against when they hire hackers. And that's still true even though most hackers didn't apply to YC last fall, because they can sign on as employee #2 or employee #20 with someone who did. Because the other factors of production are not scarce enough to matter, jobs for hackers are abundant in a way that jobs for chefs are not. Patents, noncompetes, H1Bs, the anti-poaching conspiracy, and API keys are efforts to change that, but mostly they haven't been very effective.

(What makes you think the cook is a "he"? Both of the people I was basing that sketch on were women.)

° By "talent" I mean "strenuous and persistent effort by highly skilled people", not some kind of inborn genius. You can't start a business by sitting around thinking deep thoughts; you have to work hard. But for a restaurant, working hard isn't nearly enough, and that puts foodservice talent at more of a negotiating disadvantage with respect to investors.

> This is why "1 space" is correct and two spaces conflates different layers of document creation (the textual information to display and how it is laid out)

The problem is that I know of exactly zero programs other than TeX and the descendants thereof that are able to reliably distinguish between word-spaces and sentence-spaces without being explicitly told to do so (e.g. with double-spaces), and even then.

There are indeed different space characters in Unicode, and if Word wanted to do this right it would autocorrect <space><space> to, say, <en-space> or <em-space> (the way it already does for quotes, much to the chagrin of people including code snippets in Word documents).
> I wonder how much of this is rooted in the desire to protect their own kid's chances of admission vs loyalty

Certainly, legacy & athlete admissions could be reduced more in order to lessen the discrimination against Asian-Americans. That said, affirmative action also means that white people are slightly underrepresented relative to the population at institutions like Harvard, so I think it is not mostly a desire to protect one's own kid.
It's because predicating carefully-chosen giveaways to "the right kind" of people with darker skin is easier and preferable to the elite than what is actually righteous and necessary: capital transfers (reparations) to the descendents of people who were wronged, and the people who are affected by stigma against the people who were wronged.

The fact that all of the various workarounds end up targeting people
nominally outside the scope is a feature, not a bug.
Less than two years later (of the IPO), and the 72-year-old (Timothy Springer) has ridden a 17,000% return in his Moderna shares — which he paid about $5 million for in the company’s early stages — into the billionaire club.

The Cambridge, Mass., biotech has jumped 162% this year, as of Wednesday’s close, surging on hopes for its mRNA-1273 coronavirus vaccine, one of the first (along with five other vaccines) to begin human trials.

It's strange that engineers are giving in to this biased and non-rational mental model, treating this situation as linear and robust.

It is non-linear and non-robust system. The main problem is that mortality rate even among young people would become much higher as soon as hospitals become overwhelmed.

So you can not make any predictive conclusions based on current stats. Please look at any of the numerous models available online which account for all factors, and you will see how badly herd immunity idea would end for all age groups.
I would be curious to see death statistics for people with a college degree across majors.
Get at least 50% upfront for fixed fee projects. I always take 100%. Clients can be very inventive when it comes to withholding payment, and freelancers can't afford the time to arbitrate/sue. Companies know this and will bully you into accepting their terms. Walk away.
I think a lot of it is in what your expectations are - I've had plenty of odd experiences with AirBnB, but nothing catastrophic, but I think that's because I've mostly been trying to use it for things that are not a hotel-like experience.

Generally, I'm either doing something where I'm renting a whole house in a VRBO style thing where it's likely someone's full-time rental property and has been for a while or I'm essentially looking for something barely above couch surfing where I expect to show up in the evening, go to bed, then wake up and leave for the day.

I've had plenty of minor sub-optimal experiences, but usually nothing that wasn't called out in the listing, and I've also had plenty of experiences with hosts that took things seriously and were amazing to work with. Most of the stories I've seen of people getting burned was though listings that at least personally, I would have found a little suspicious in terms of price-to-quality, and level of professionalism. They seem to prey on people who want the experience of a hotel, but don't want to pay for it.
OK - then make these guys play 100 or 1000 games against each other and see if anything beyond the very small sample size is responsible for the difference in win. If the previous winner is superior at RPS he should show a statistical advantage over the loser.

Yes, rather absurdly, I learned about him like a month ago on ZeroHedge when they started following him; he was brushed off for weeks, his message being, "Look at patient behavior, this is not actually ARDS, our ventilator strategy is probably wrong."

Crazy to think that so many doctors around the world, experts, and policy makers didn't really question the fundamental nature of the disease, and perhaps telling that it took an ER doctor in NYC posting on youtube for a month to bring it proper attention.

There’s other ways to do it them having gigantic concrete bridges like Vegas.

In downtown SF, you could put lower diagonal street bridges which would save an infinite amount of time for people driving.

I doubt I have the know-how it needs to navigate the issues raised in the previous discussions. I could maybe write a proposal where sibling recursion (i.e. self recursion and calls to equally-typed procedures) is guaranteed via the becomes keyword, but i dont really have the motivation to spend that much time discussing it or write the proposal.

Such a proposal would in any way be "future proof" in the sense that general becomes-TCO could be added later in a compatible way.
The argument isn't against good/poor play; it's if this is cheating. You're essentially saying it's unethical not to cheat if you can get away with it, which is obviously untrue

There are (maybe not explicitly designated as such, but en-space or em-space would be reasonable, I think). The problem is that there's no sane or consistent way to actually input these characters (besides perhaps a macro that detects double-spaces and replaces them with a single somewhat-longer-than-normal space).

Yes, having better UX is good for many reasons, but people have always learned to go around bad UX in order to achieve their goals.

Their ad manager is a joke when it comes to UX and bugs, yet people still spend billions on advertising on Facebook.
