I think this is a (willful) misunderstanding of what "consequences" means in the context of the freedom of expression.

"Consequences," colloquially understood, are interpersonal repercussions in one's public and private life. They're a necessary part of the freedom of expression: such a freedom wouldn't be very useful if exercising it had no consequences. They don't include prison time.

Everybody wants those consequences to be personally beneficial, but that's not embedded within the right itself (and can't be, as that would result in a contradiction in terms between equally just and/or lawful expressions).

Exactly, and it's a compounding problem. The sites with the best information don't win, it's the sites with content optimized to get clicks. It's a problem that gets worse with time and more "real" information gets crowded out.

If there's already a good paper or article on what types of tests are used to determine hormone levels I'm not going to make another one, even if it was difficult to find. There are no such barriers stopping health blogs from creating dozens of "why you need a testosterone test today!" articles, however.
Wim is crazy. The people studying him aren’t.

Ok.

I still think they bring an interesting bit of salt and pepper to the discussion: open-workspaces bring out a lot of opinions from workers and employees, and in my opinion are pretty low hanging fruit for a newly collectively-organized white collar workforce in 2020.

Open plan offices don’t fit this model at all.

Private offices are a professional class perk. Large bonuses are a professional class perk.

Open plan offices with a deejay booth and free beer are the exact opposite, working class “perks” specifically meant to endow the workplace with an overwhelming infantile culture that ingrains the idea that you are compensated with hedonistic fun times and not with money, status, experience-building projects, or respect.
Kubernetes is written in Go; I would consider that a "systems" project. I think of "systems" as "software whose purpose is to underpin other software", excluding same-language libraries and frameworks. This rough definition does a good job of covering most of the things people mean when they say "systems programming".

Thanks! You might also find this related feature, real-time aggregation, really powerful as well.

We just released it last month: https://blog.timescale.com/blog/achieving-the-best-of-both-w...

"With real-time aggregation, when you query a continuous aggregate view, rather than just getting the pre-computed aggregate from the materialized table, the query will transparently combine this pre-computed aggregate with raw data from the hypertable that’s yet to be materialized. And, by combining raw and materialized data in this way, you get accurate and up-to-date results, while still enjoying the speedups that come from pre-computing a large portion of the result."
I suggest we start publicizing the problem and teaching these skills (critical thinking, epistemically sound thinking and speaking, etc), and using them here.

It may seem like that, but is it really? Is there some uncertainty involved in the problem space?

If we were to go through the effort of decomposing and explicitly unpacking this sentence, do you think there may be a few epistemic flaws in it, even without taking into account the complexities involved in how others perceive and conceptualize the statement?

How about we see if the more capable than average minds here at HN are capable of it? This could provide some very valuable insight into how an eventual broader initiative targeting the general public should be designed.

I'm curious to hear objections to this idea...why would doing this right here on HN, perhaps only on an occasional trial basis for designated threads, be a bad idea? And to be clear, I'm not asking whether this is "our responsibility" (it's not) or whether it would "cause us some problems or discomfort" (it surely would), I'm asking for honest, non-evasive answers for why shouldn't we do it? If everyone leaves a problem for someone else to solve, how do we expect it to be solved?

Yeah, automated avatars to me look like they're perfectly optimized to be as unmemorable as possible. They have no distinguishing features, there's literally nothing in them that my brain could latch onto.

At this point, if I had to design automated avatars for some board, I'd probably download a bunch of these silly Machine Learning image sets with 10 000 images of frogs, or something, scale every picture down to 64x64 or 128x128, and assign one to every user at random, or based on a hash of their username. I'm pretty sure this scheme would yield avatars that have all the benefits of autogenerated ones, and are also infinitely more memorable.

If there's not a financial incentive to prevent situations like this, the likelihood that YouTube will correct it is approximately nil.

Afaik the current Play Store/XDA Labs release is out of date on the security patches' side of things, but the developer is currently working on catching up.
Also, the project went open-source not too long ago and apparently the dev's been working together with some devs of a different browser, so you can expect more Chromium browsers to implement support for extensions in the near future.

Oh don't get me wrong, I really hate standardized testing. It's been the bane of my existence for several years now. I waste time cramming stuff I learned years ago to prove to some pencil pusher that I do in fact know it (even though I've been working on much more advanced stuff since then). However, I also think using some of it as an objective bar to meet is a necessary evil, though not as a sole metric (I think the European model of "take one test to determine your life" is absolutely horrible, but that's what one gets in a planned economy.)

I think it's really important to focus on team improvement and enablement. These tools if used correctly can be incredibly powerful. One in particular, Haystack, actually just focuses on team trends and alerts for things like burnout, concurrent work, idle prs, etc. giving teams more touch points for communication so they can resolve issues.

It's really not meant to 'watch' anyone, but geared towards being more helpful than simply measuring for the sake of measuring.

Anyways, to wrap it all up - I think it's about the intent of the tool and what's it's used for. It should be used to enable things like communication, advocation and improvement. Certainly not to judge, compare or rank (which I've seen in GitPrime and WayDev).

Here's the link to Haystack: https://usehaystack.io

I think part of the problem is that the official media-approved narrative on coronavirus-fighting tactics isn't exactly the truth. Like, if you believe the press, the lockdowns and social distancing are a well-established, century-old scientific approach to tackling pandemics and stepping away from them will massively increase the death toll and economic damage. The media position is that even allowing them to be questioned is dangerous and will kill people. In reality, they seem to be a new, previously untested, scientifically controversial approach with little precedent since about the Middle Ages: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/22/us/politics/social-distan...

This is why, even though anti-lockdown ideas are the realm of conspiracy theorists right now, you can't cure them with information even if their proponents did actually base their worldview on it.

I can't see this ending well. There are just too many signs that the media narrative about what works, why, what we need to do, the evidence, and what the costs and consequences are is diverging from reality, and with challenging them so far beyond the pale that leaves conspiracy theorists tying their claims into opposition to vaccines and wild theories about Bill Gates as the main folks questioning it. It's also getting really ugly and partisan, and not just in the US or amongst Trump supporters.

Windows 10 routinely deletes problematic files from peoples computers; it's called "Windows Defender". Most users are happy to let Microsoft delete malware. The reason that propaganda videos aren't detected as malware because none of these companies give a damn about what you're using your computer or your private storage for. It is a ton of extra work for them to run some censorship side business to specifically annoy conspiracy theorists. The reason that YouTube deletes propaganda videos is because nobody will advertise on them. They cost money to store and serve to viewers, but will never generate revenue. Some are so bad that they drive advertisers away from other videos. All this "censorship" is at the behest of advertisers, or fear of backlash from advertisers.

The thing with YouTube is that its greatest power is its greatest weakness. They let anyone in the world serve 4k or 8k videos to an infinite number of users. They find advertisers for your videos and automatically run their ads on your videos, so that you can get cash money from producing them. And, there is a recommendation engine so that viewers can discover your video and channel. With those advantages, come disadvantages -- the service as a whole is called YouTube, and so a bad video on your channel reflects poorly on other channels and the service as a whole. So they have guidelines to protect their success, at the cost of not making all the advantages available to you. That is why there are "guidelines". I am sure if you buy a Google Cloud account and pay for the transfer and storage of your content, and find your own advertisers to fund it, you can host as many conspiracy theory videos as you want and nobody will stop you. But I think you'll find that you make negative money on this proposition.

(Also, I personally paid $200 for Windows 10, so I'm not sure how people are getting it for free.)
YC W19 Sapling here. We have a freemium browser extension that acts as a grammar checker. Couple thoughts below:

1. Source code. You are allowed to minify source code. Chrome actually recommends minifying source to improve performance. If you require certain permissions you'll have to submit un-minified source for security review.

2. Cloud/subscription based models are the way to go if piracy is an issue, but it doesn't make sense for all products. Licensing hasn't been an issue for Sapling fortunately because the "brains" of our app are in the cloud. I know hacker news is very privacy conscious but our language models are too large to run on a user's end machine right now. Spier Pro seems like a useful web-scraping helper. People who can pirate a chrome extension probably can probably run xpath scripts or a free xpath testing extension themselves so if I were Amy I wouldn't worry _too_ much about piracy.

3. Forked Code. There should be no reason to do it. Firefox and Edge have done a lot of work to support most of the chrome apis. You can handle minor edge cases build time with a variable toggle. Keep the same manifest, even. Browsers are good about ignoring keywords in the manifest they don't recognize. My recommendation is to pretend they are the same platform until you find bugs/issues and hard code around them. Theres a handful but it's very manageable.

I don't really care if this move is economically less profitable to Joe Rogan and don't understand why this author does either. Anyways, I have been a long term fan of JRE. In the inital phase of lockdown, Joe was pro-lockdown but in the past weeks (shrugging and not commenting at the mention of Elon Musk's tweets in Tim Poole's episode), he's switched to anti-lockdown which started around the Elon Musk episode. The episodes after that have received a lot of criticisim as well.

Now I force myself to see all his episodes with utmost skepticism and doing that I can neither enjoy nor tolerate them anymore. And now with this move to Spotify, I will finally have a reason to quit, sadly. It was great while it lasted though.
You're confusing the cost for cells with the cost for packs.
>This happens all the time, not just with copyright law, so doesn't that seem to imply that the penalty for the larger party is insufficient?

Not necessarily. With copyright law there's practically no penalty, and I think that should be changed as I said elsewhere in the thread. But the optimal penalty level should be the amount of damages, plus some amount of punitive to account for the probability of a case getting that far, if it's low. If a big company decides that it's worth paying that amount in expectation in a standard tort case, then it is, in fact, efficient to allow that to happen and to have them compensate the other side in the instances where it does happen. At least when we're talking civilly and not criminally, where different concerns apply.

I came to the conclusion that poor breathing habits are somehow connected to poor posture, mainly of the neck and the ribcage. I've had some poor breathing habits myself and doing deep breathing exercises incorrectly actually messed me up even worse for about a week or so. Yeah, that wasn't fun at all but it went away eventually. In the end I ended up concentrating more on posture and that seemed to correct the breathing as well. I find myself sitting in a poor posture from time to time and notice the breathing becomes limited and shallow as well.

Legislation can't possibly prevent YouTube from sharding into a bunch of disparate publishing entities

In fact, the "break up big tech" groups might laud such a thing

There is no way of framing your regulation so that it does something useful.
Instead it will only ever be a burden on smaller distributers and hurt their chances of advertising (because in order to find advertisers, those advertisers will either have to not care about the content or be convinced that the content is pg -- an incredibly onerous technical burden)

This idea that the regulation wouldn't have consequences you don't like because you don't like them is a fantasy

None of your ideas make any sense here
Reminds me of a bug I kept having to resurrect at Spotify: the first result for "Billie Jean" was an admittedly good cover by The Civil Wars, but the result was clearly wrong. And it wasn't a case of "Man Who Sold the World," "Hurt," or "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" where the cover is arguably the definitive version. Turns out search is hard.

Oh, and if you search for "Billy Jean?" Still broken.
