It doesn't matter. A project that has 500 stars is most likely going to have more active users than another one solving the same problem, but with only 5 stars.

Similarly, a project that has 5000 unanswered issues is going to have more users than one with 50 closed issues.

In lieu of any better metric, this is the way to gauge popularity.

This is very much a short term solution if they are unable to talk immediately after surgery, for up to a few days. My wife used a small portable whiteboard and magic marker to write messages on in the same situation. It worked really well. Even with our 2 year old, it helped her to understand something unusual was going on.

The Man in the Arena is almost obligatory at this point:

>It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

https://coldatomlab.jpl.nasa.gov/news/ has some history of the project. Started collecting data in 2018 it appears from the website. Haven't read the research article yet...

I created and studied BEC's for my PhD. It's a fascinating field of research. Not having to deal with gravity enables a range of experiments that weren't accessible before. Will be fun to see continued studies.
Asymptomatic people probably aren't a significant cause of transmission.

> Just pointing out that Elsevier is ancient in business terms, it's origins as a publisher goes back to the mid 16th century and the modern version of the company is from around the 19th century.

The 16th century publisher has nothing whatsoever to do with the current one, which shamelessly pirated and stole everything to plagiarize the prestige (so its ideas of business ethics go right back to its founding). Apparently, it worked.

Ask HN: Hey mobile devs, how often do you release to an app store?
At my company, our mobile teams have releases to their app stores about once a month. I am a backend developer and was wondering what this looks like for other mobile teams. A secondary question is if this release cycle includes Android and iOS or are the two platforms allowed to maintain different release cycles?

Thanks!

> If we're not talking about these things, then bad trips can have physical components as well as psychological ones.

This is a very important observation. Unlike mental components, physical ones are much harder to overcome by will power. Unbearable excitement or alertness fogs the mind in a way that also makes them invisible to logical thinking. The bodily distress takes control of the mind.

I'd suggest people with such tendencies for having physically exhausting trips keep real life reminders around during the recreational substance use.

For example, have a friend who didn't take the drug sit close to you and ask them to be caring, calm and providing during the trip. Watch unstressful TV shows such as nature documentaries instead of "the news". Don't mix different substances during the same trip. Drink water and have a bottle around, always! Most importantly, don't do new drugs in places where you've never been before (i.e a party) or with people you barely know!

On the occasion of a bad trip, make sure you note down the bad moments after you wake up from it. Keep those notes close to you in case you need remembering them during another bad trip. During a paranoid moment -a moment of distrust towards people around you-, those notes will help you recover since reading your own notes doesn't require trust towards others.
Taken a whole, I can see what you mean about the article title. I think this is a just bad title, but titles are hard (:

> I would still call it a $20 typo if you then didn't cash in that cheque.

Interesting. To me calling something a "$XX [typo|mistake|error|etc.]" means that the typo/error/mistake resulted in a loss of $XX. Any other way to read that feels confusing.
Policy compliance is a constant battle of wills in most large organisation. Enough of a battle in some places that they have compliance staff.

That's an interesting idea of a security breach.

In practice it's going to be difficult because:

1) You can't do effective geolocation on cell phone IP address, except perhaps at a country level [1]

2) Your ex would need to open your message to trigger the link preview loading. If you're stalking them, they're probably either ignoring you or blocking you

3) At most, if the ex is connected to a Wi-Fi network like Starbucks and opens the message, you'll be able to get the city they're in, maybe.

But at the end of the day, what you'd get from link previews is no different from embedding a tracker image in an e-mail. And while it requires someone to suspect they're being stalked, blocking would prevent all of this.

I personally really don't think that some US schools anecdotally not using GIMP because of it's name is worth ruining decades of tutorials and documentation for the entire rest of the world.

FWIW, GIMP has been installed on every single educational computer I've interacted with from pre-elementary school to college, in both French (Québec, France, Morocco), Arabic (Morocco) and English (Québec) schooling systems.
As someone who has done hiring and firing, there are absolutely times when I cannot be upfront with people. Like, explicitly, "word from the top is don't talk about how we're hiring X and firing Y."

Doing things like that is kind of shady, but there are often times when you cannot straight up tell people things but still need or want to send signals.
Pretty sure I'm not just at the beneficiary's whim when it comes to bank transfers.
The people calling the code 'horrible' and a 'buggy mess' don't appear to be the same people as the researchers who have gone to the effort to reproduce the results.

So I don't think that has any bearing on the "thumbs up" report.
Do you think that a blanket policy that all officers retreat when fired upon without returning fire wouldn't be exploitable by criminals?
I have been editing Wikipedia for more than 5 years now. I usually get little push back for the edits I add. I try to keep every sentence cited and use my best judgement with the POV of sources. The worst experience I've had was people deleting content that they viewed through an ethnic chauvinist lens, or someone who strongly believed a statement with little documented evidence (both on the same article.) I keep seeing this viewpoint on HN, but I really thing editing is pretty smooth for most people. There are problems - the visual editor is only visible to those logged in, for example, and there are a good number of rules. But, in general, being bold has been rewarding.
I've yet to pay twice for Pixelmator which I've used for years & they've never nagged me once, will gladly pay again in a heartbeat.

It's great they offer a different & improved SKU as I don't see how they could develop such a quality App for a low 1 time payment & was concerned for their sustainability, happy to hear they offer a quality upgrade that I can upgrade to support continued development of their quality app.
That’s an interesting take. Usually the argument is over how much benefit actually comes from living in certain societies, not the concept of living in one.
The amount of bad will that would generate when, not if, it came to light would dwarf the possible gains. So ethical concerns aside, it would be idiotic.

Sometimes that doesn't stop the pointy haired bosses, because sometimes they are the perfect storm of unethical and moronic.

> Speaking personally, the activity you're describing sounds like a major time sink, and doesn't align with the LinkedIn experience of anyone I know.

Speaking personally, I spent much less time creating and updating my LI than creating and updating my resume in order to target specific jobs.

> It shouldn't fall on the shoulders of a social network's users to learn how to optimize their representation on that one website.

Agreed, but LI gives me the option to do so, and that is exactly what I do.

> To your credit, maybe you're getting contacted by well-off companies because they admire the effort and techniques you're using to boost your profile. If so, having everyone pour the same kind of effort into it would arguably help no one stand out, and only "add value" to the platform itself.

It wasn't much effort on my part.

https://glimpse-editor.github.io/

It's an unofficial fork and rather than reading a whole weird thread of people arguing about this fork, read the quick summary they have on their site:

"Our contributors have used the GNU Image Manipulation Program for a long time, but like any free software project it has finite resources and has to prioritise some changes over others. That can mean good usability improvements and functional changes the community suggests go unaddressed because other changes take priority.

What the Glimpse project aims to do is inject some new ideas, energy, contributions and money into a free software program that most enthusiasts and power users take for granted. We also want to expand the adoption of this great piece of free software, and offer a valid alternative for end users that have become disgruntled with the GNU Image Manipulation Program and are tempted to switch back to using proprietary software.

The very first thing we focused on with 0.1.0 was our own rebrand. We chose a new name and commissioned a professional logo, and our efforts to replace the existing “gimp” branding throughout the software and its dependencies is something we continue to make excellent progress on today.

However, we want to go further, and we will do that by focusing on usability changes, UI themes, icon packs, and better installation mechanisms. We believe that by making changes and improvements in those areas, that will create a better overall user experience that broadens the appeal of the application and introduces more people to the world of free software.

Finally, we also want to make it easier for power users to find and install third party plug-ins. Initially that will take the form of an optional installer containing a selection of plug-ins already, but that is an area we can hopefully develop more over time."

Linux distro review: System76’s Pop _OS

He recently spoke quite dismissively of computer- augmented chess on the Lex Friedman podcast. Essentially, the computer knows best...so computer and human isn’t meaningfully different from computer and rubber stamper.

My first thought was to spend some time together not speaking. See how it goes, so there’s less fear going into it. Maybe take a couples mime class or something! Just making it real and not living in fear is the point.
So then let people come to that conclusion on their own after they've read the facts. The Wikipedia content shouldn't imply fault. It just needs to document what actually happened.
I totally agree this incident should be investigated by a third party. And if they committed a crime they should be charged.

But my understanding is that leading up to the death of Taylor no laws were broken.

The plaintiffs will ask "if this was the case why did you not work with libraries to ensure that copies loaned were backed by physical copies"?

And they will ask "why did you not put forward a good faith effort to work with publishers?"

Then they will ask "why did you not reach out to any legislators or executives to seek an exemption?"

And IA will have no answer other than "because we are a law unto ourselves".

Yes, sorry if that was not clear, there are good movies.

I mean can it be that current system is not fair to the customer? We compare ownership with physical object. What if movie is not good? Can I get a refund? File is in perfect condition. Companies spent a lot on advertisement, some products I would consider fraud. Trailers usually the only good parts of the movie. Yet it is aired from every corner.

Part of book store experience is reading. I have a lot of child books, I like them all, we read again and again. When kid grown up he can present them, donate or sell.

In my mind Internet Archive made mistake. Not better than cracking Windows or jailbraking iPhone. These should become niche products, no need to advertise them, better help other communities.
No. The owner needs send Facebook a cease and desist and block their IPs in order to revoke authorization under the CFAA, and then Facebook would need to continue accessing his website despite explicitly being told not to. That's the precedent set by Craigslist v. 3Taps.

Whether or not the above even holds today (hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn argues it does not) remains to be decided in a current appeal to the Supreme Court.
Thanks for taking this the right way :) It's definitely a conversation worth having. There are plenty of things I consider art that other people despise.
It used to be that dissemination of information was expensive.

Thousands of years ago you had to travel to town squares or churches to get updates on things. Then you had newspapers, radio, and television. These often were pillars of a community.

So it was logical that the same devices that would report on news ("free-press" activity) would be used for "free-speech" expressive activity like commentary, editoral, op-ed, letters to the community, etc., because it was media that a high percentage of the community was guaranteed to consume regularly.

This is no longer true and also no longer needed. Free-press and free-speech activity doesn't have to share the same platform anymore and can be separated.

Free-speech expressive activity can be done on websites, social media, etc. We don't need journalism outlets to do anything but post reports on things happening.

With the two separated there is less ethical quandary.

The idea of scheduled consumption of media is also breaking down. So we don't need journalism outlets collecting stories and deciding what to put into papers, because there shouldn't be a paper. There should be a website with reports with easily searchable keywords.

This has little or nothing to do with any supposed reduction in book sales the Internet Archive or any other library, dead-tree or bittorrent, has caused, and quite a lot to do with publishers screwing authors out of royalties for books they do sell. I have no sympathy any author too stupid to realize that publishers are to blame for their still needing a day job after (for example of Myke Cole) twelve books, two TV shows, and a comic series.

I think your answer misses the point of the question. Learning ASL can be done after the surgery if she lost her voice. The question was what can be done now before the surgery. The kind of things which, if it comes to the worst and she loses her voice, cannot be done after.
I think it's very helpful to focus on easily fixable, impactful measures over hard to fix measures with uncertain efficacy.

“This conversation is being recorded for training and quality assurance purposes.” Should be stated before each new interaction. The legal requirement will vary by jurisdiction but a lawyer can advise on that. And yes, I’m joking.
On your point on time: Carlo Rovelli’s book, The Order of Time, addresses our interaction with and perception of time extraordinarily well.

If you haven’t read Rovelli’s beautiful account of the relationship between time, entropy, and space, I highly recommend purchasing it from your local bookstore. The hardback version is especially worth acquiring!
In this instance, the "list of suspicious persons" is obviously some shared surveillance database, not just people who were previously kicked out of the Rose Bowl.

Not sure if it counts as "free time" as I study math for a living :) but optimization theory is always on my list.

If you like Strang's new book, I think you'll be quite partial to Boyd's VMLS [0] which is (in my admittedly horrible opinion) even more clear and practical and serves as an incredibly good and basic introduction to both linear algebra and basic optimization (via least squares). It assumes nothing more than pre-calculus level math and some slight familiarity with derivatives.

Honestly, I really, truly highly recommend reading it, even if you're already familiar with linear algebra. It's a joy to flip through the pages and do some of the problems (both theoretical and practical!).

Copyright Office mostly agrees with you in their response to an inquiry about IA National Emergency Library by a senator[1].

But there are things in that response to distinguish IA actions and motives from other bête noires of Copyright law (The Pirate Bay, etc.) That would give IA and their supporters something to work with; intents, outcomes, and the limited nature of IA NEL would (hopefully) harness publishers opportunism in the view of the law.
