That's hardly surprising given facebook's track record of censoring conservative users. Liberals can deny that all they want. It doesn't make it untrue.
>It's trivial to game subscribers and views.

If google cannot even make a bot to detect fake views and subscriptions, then why the hell do advertisers give them money at all if only those bots watch the ads anyway?

And why would they think that a ban bot - which has far reaching consequences - is ok, if they cannot even prevent view gaming?

It's not trivial to game subscribers and views. Such gaming is a problem, and they are pretty surely not really close to perfect detection rates, but they aren't that bad either. And everytime I dare use a public VPN google/YT puts big fat captchas in front of me.

>Google gets something like two million takedown notices every day.

Not impressed. Not every "content claim" leads to a takedown, or account strike. And not every content claim is the same. If they cannot distinguish between one coming from e.g. Sony vs one coming from e.g. <random script kiddy> then what the hell are they doing? There is such a thing as reputation.
Being smart may not be sufficient, but seems necessary atleast to make your own money.
Why would they need to keep your email if you have deleted your account? To spam you? To sell your email to spammers?
I’m also a huge fan of Ramsay and have watched many of his shows. There was once he mentioned that be never gives you the measurements because that should be up to each person to decide. He only does so when it’s chemically important like in his baking videos.
The group FaceTime UI is very strange, why have several overlapping boxes rather than just dividing the screen equally and using all of it? I know it's like this in iOS, but I'm not sure what group video looks like in macOS (though it sounds like it's the same based on the update text here).

It's weird because the easier thing also seems like the obvious thing, and it's clearly better.

Biggest problem with TV 3D is the lack of content. If vast majority of content is not 3D, and the stuff that gets produced is usually done digitally and not through proper 3d cameras, it fizzles out as a gimmick.

This type of holographic display will have a similar issue, but it may be saved by the fact that it can be very impressive as a display in commercial uses.

Touchscreen just enabled another method of interacting with web and applications, method that was already present via use of mouses on PC. It did not depend on massive adoption by TV and movie industry with little benefit for them.

Concurnas: The New Language on the JVM for Concurrent and GPU Computing
Yes, but not catastrophic prevalence. The question was whether not locking down things like schools would result in much higher deaths than we currently see in for example England or New York. The answer is no, not necessarily.
America has a profound ability to diagnose individual problems, and an active inability to diagnose social problems.

The American psychological industry cannot be let off the hook. DSM-5 is a handbook for how to blame society’s failures on individuals. We need scientific doctors capable of considering not only the realities they are allowed to accept but also the realities of the actually existing world in which their patients live.

We desperately need legitimate mental health institutions, but for-profit healthcare and for-profit education cannot provide that.
Some medications used for mental health can be addictive, and some can have "discontinuation effects" (these are important and unpleasant but are not really addiction). The addictive medications are the benzodiazepines and the "z drugs" (zopiclone, zolpidem, etc (sleeping meds)).

I think mental health medication is good and useful, and I think SSRI / SNRI / NASA type meds are very good, but useful questions (for any medication) are "What happens if we do nothing?" and "what are the side effects of taking it, or stopping taking it?"

These medications are not linked to the opioid crisis. The causes for that are complex, but they include over-prescribing of strong opioids for mild pain over many years.
Integrated Construction Platform
Hello,
Since many days I was working to solve the problems faced by first time home builders. I have made an attempt to create an integrated construction platform where the first time home builders can collaborate with the reputed local building contractors, construction material dealers, and architects.
Would like to know your thoughts on this idea.

Thanks

It's worth looking into make support groups. There's various movements starting up support groups for men run by men, who are trying to break that stigma. I don't know where you are based but have a Google and you may find a local one.
Ask HN: Who's the publisher of unofficial open source ports?
Like some, I enjoy searching for my own stuff on Google once in a while.
Some time last year, I searched for my game, "Wizznic!" on google, and was slightly annoyed when I saw the publisher listed.
See, I actually knew about this publisher, I vaguely recall some contact with them in relation to their android port of my game. I don't think they did anything wong, but I think google did.

So I submitted feedback on the panel, multiple times, every time, explaining that, Wizznic is my game, I made it. Linked to relevant sites. To any human, I believe I definitely proved that the game was made by me. I explain that the Android port is not official and the correct publisher should either be "Wizznic.org" or my own name,

I've done this several timess, but google keeps the wrong publisher on the panel.

It made me wonder if I'm wrong..

Can opensource products have only one publisher? Maybe they have multiple?

Does every mirror site serving Ubuntu ISOs qualify as "the publisher" ?

I'd like to hear your opinions on this :)
I always dreamed of building a MUD, which lives on two completely independent servers and features the same world. But players from one server would appear as NPCs (in-character descriptions would be mandatory) on the other and vice versa. That way the NPC dialogue and gameplay that would emerge on any one server would feel magical to PCs.
What do you mean by the classical version of SuperMemo? Why not incremental reading?

I think a lot of the issues you mentioned are hinged on formulation which is a really hard skill and requires a lot of practice. Unfortunately I think anki is terrible for it because unlike SM it’s not that convenient (nor intended) for you to edit cards for applicability on each go.

I'm not familiar with osTicket, is your point that osTicket could have been used instead of custom-made software in 2006 or that I'm overglorifying the system I worked on?
Good (leading) question :)

It's hard to answer because we're so early, so the most honest answer I can give is: i don't know.

Firebase just changed their pricing to "pay as you go". I need to dig into their pricing to give a good comparison but I think we will be much cheaper for the IAAS aspect - we will try offer more value via the dashboard (i.e. we want to build an Airtable-like interface for non-techies to use), and charge on that aspect.

One more thing - we personally find predictable pricing to be an important feature of IAAS and therefore will probably price differently to firebase's usage model.

Yes. People in other countries get that healthcare isn’t actually free. Just that they don’t have to fork out any money at the moment they need it.

The site claims these are original pitch decks from famous companies. Exciting!

So, I look at a a couple, but quickly get the feeling that these may not be genuine, that this site might be theonion of pitch decks, or something. I go to HN comments to see what others think.

I was disappointed to find that the author of the site apparently doesn't really know if these are real or not. I'd like to see more than a passive aggressive "oh gee thanks this was a fun project 2nd year business student blah blah I'll look into it", when the site clearly claims to show me “Facebook's original pitch deck” as the FIRST one which is very obviously not genuine.

Oh, this is easy.

The usual response to such a question is - "you're just an anti-intellectual! Being rich doesn't mean you're smart - any fool can do it! Real non-fools write their opinions down and other fools follow them."

/s

I've known some utterly immoral people become very, very wealthy - I might've even helped them along the way. The reason I'm not rich and they are, is that they decided they didn't want to help me along my way.

Being rich isn't an indicator of intelligence, nor is it an indicator of hard work or decent ethics. It does, usually, mean that someone wanted to give you money for some reason - and even a fool or an intellectual can do such a thing for love. Or, not.

Reading speed largely depends on the material. Some texts, ex. Bible or Plato's dialogues, are meant as merely jumping points for one's reflection on the subject. Reading them at 150 pages per hour would be utterly pointless.
> they just lean towards letting more content on rather than less

Come on. It is more than a lean. Growth is an explicit, fractal goal at every level.

> The grandparent suggests that they start limiting uploads in a way that more regular uploaders (eg. a few videos a day) would feel

I didn't give implementation details on the rate limit, because as I preambled, this was a thought experiment, not a design document. They whole point is to underline the fact that, there is a cost of making the review process better (whether automatic or manual) and to what extent corners should be cut versus this cost should be paid seems to be informed by the objective to grow at any cost.
Probably Skylake and up. As Skylake has very competent h265/HEVC decoding.
I don’t think cards like that work over 10 years because they violate minimum information principle (rule 4 here: http://super-memory.com/articles/20rules.htm). I agree though that you have to find the right cue to initialize recall or else the card is pointless. I think incrementalism in incremental reading is better for this since it’s easy to modify and improve your cards over time.

Just want to stress, that the root of the problem is the evil extortionist, not Google.

> In Hasura your still need a 3rd party service such as Firebase or 0Auth for Authentication

That's false. You can write your own service or use some open source authentication system, like you would in a normal website. Or use JWT tokens. It doesn't have to be a 3rd-party service.
I think you are knowingly missing the point. Nutritional experts disagreed among themselves, and probably still do. Is there even a single 5G engineer that will take up the cause of 5G causing coronavirus? How about an immunologist that will claim Bill Gates is trying to inject people with microchips delivered in vaccines?
Even if you don't have those living alone is a different but also difficult situation.
It’s even more nonsense when you look at recall over longer periods of time. If you look at forgetting curves (like Ebbinghaus) no matter how well you read a book there’s no way after a month you’ll remember more than say 10%. I don’t think that’s so bad if you take care to take the most valuable abstract concepts and rules from books.
In 1978 the Smalltalk group at Xerox tried to build a computer that people could buy. The Notetaker used several 8086 processors in a sewing machine form factor (like the later Osborn I) so you could carry around a computer with floppy disks, a mouse and windows. An executive came from the headquarters specifically to kill the project because Xerox didn't want to sell microcomputers.

Frustrated, the group got permission to license the language to run on other people's computers. All the other companies would have to do would be to implement their own version of the virtual machine and the rest of the system would just work. They made a deal with Apple, HP, Tektronix and DEC where these companies would get the language in exchange for having a small team help Xerox clean up the system and the draft of a book about the system by trying to do their own implementations.

This was eventually published with the title "Smalltalk-80: The Language and its Implementation" and became known as the blue book since that was the main color on the cover. It had four parts:
1) an explanation about the language and its concepts
2) a reference for all the classes and methods in the system
3) a large example in the form of a discreet event simulator
4) the definition of the virtual machine in the form of explanations and Smalltalk-80 code written in a style that could easily be translated to Pascal or C

Years later a version without the fourth part was released with a purple cover.

Before the book came out, a series of articles about Smalltalk-80 were published in the August 1981 issue of Byte magazine.

Another book was "Smalltalk-80: The Interactive Programming Environment" about the GUI. It became known as the orange book. There was another book that was planned but never released.

As part of the efforts of the implementation groups (now 5 since DEC shared its license with Berkeley) they had some mini conferences to share experiences and decided it would be great to make that into a book as well. "Smalltalk-80: Bits of History, Words of Advice" was the result and became known as the green book.
Rust is now an official UWP / WinUI binding, part of Project Reunion, core Windows platform, and is shipping on Visual Studio Code and Azure IoT products.

Office will eventually make use of it.
go is great for long running programs. in fact a large portion of the modern cloudstack is written in it. think of k8s, docker, nomad, etcd...

My bad, I thought you were arguing that "prejudice" is something that can be argued-out-of, whereas a "genuine difference in priority" cannot.

We know now that people are more likely to discriminate basing on political orientation than race. Basically all the people that would be racists 100 years ago now took a different angle to be able to behave in the same manner. I do not trust moderators and overlords, because they seem to be all from one political orientation. Being a black person 100 years ago, would you trust an all-white private company to handle all your information in an equal way, even knowing that some of the data exposes illegal practices of the said company? It's absurd to think that anyone under those circumstances would be 100% clean and it's just plain insane to thinnk we can hold hundrets of thousands of people at the same time to thius standard.
Josh Kaufman's 'Your Personal MBA' is excellent - its rare that you have one book which goes through all of targeting, segmentation, positioning, marketing planning, and how it all sits together. Often books will focus on one small piece (like positioning, or value propositions) but without understanding how these pieces sit into the wider whole it's hard to put them to really effective use.

Byron Sharp's How Brands Grow is also a great book from one of the world's leading marketing professors, and aims to lay out some iron laws about buying behaviour. Byron is quite a spiky and contrarian personality, which makes the book a lot of fun to read, but he also really knows his stuff.

I think at this point I probably have $40K of camera gear. Whilst it's not about the camera, as such, it is a known aspect.

According to "What the Dormouse said" [1], there were a couple main differences between them and us:

1. They grew up in a world without personnal computers, and had the time to _read_ _books_ ;

2. They had the pressure of either coming up with very bright ideas to impress their Pentagon-related funders, or get send to play real-life Call of Duty in Vietnam ;

3. They were almost free to invent whatever they had in mind since the class of "managers / deciders which no technical roots" had not really emerged yet ;

4. They were periodically high on LSD.

Whereas we're mostly now working in a billion dollars industry with strong incentive for conservativeness of products, with a pop-culture discipline rather than engineering culture, where it's pretty easy to get "something" on the screen, lots of high paying but menial jobs available - and we have to do it only on coffee !
