Perceived effort, and ability to self-monitor it, varies greatly. An experienced athlete may be much better at this, though often with some form of outside assistance: pace clocks, splits, speed measurements, heartrate monitor, etc.

The inexperienced or untrained athlete may mistake effort for result, often sacrificing form (which may be none too perfected to begin with) in the effort. This especially is where the perceived effort vs. actual attained performance diffrence manifests.

For activities such as swimming, formal coaching involves an extraordinary level of focus and time on stroke technique. The biomechanics of moving through a dense fluid make proper execution of stroke, recovery, turns, starts, and breathing critical to efficient and effective performance. I've had the experience of sharing a pool with swimmers who were faster through the water but worse on turns --- I'd recover the half-bodylength they gained on me each lap with tighter turns and a more efficient kick and glide off the wall. Coach noticed too.

Even more ... pedestrian ... activities such as running, or mechanically-integrated activities such as cycling and rowing have a significant element of technique involved, though in my estimation probably less so than swimming. The remarkable deviation in styles of elite and novice or poorly trained athletes is starkly evident to even casual observers.

In high-skill sports, from ballet to tennis to golf, the requirements for form over raw strength are even greater.

And I'd argue in each case that a tremendous effort exerted with poor form will virtually always result in a lower achievement --- slower speed, longer oveerall time, shorter distances or hights jumped, less weight moved, etc. All the more so at the limits of performance or ability.
I was saying that being logged-in in one tab would let Google know of any new IP that you would be using, which would in turn allow them to attribute non-logged-in traffic from other tabs because they now know your new IP.
Making kickbacks and other freebies illegal would help, as would requiring all contracts entered into by such middle-management public records.

I recall hearing something about a former apartment complex mentioning how costly (letting an additional provider) in was for them; but I never did learn the details of _what_ was costly about that. Having said data out in the bright sunlight of public records would make planning a beneficial change to the status quo much easier.
The “boogaloo” movement isn’t a neo-fascist hate movement; its orientation is much more anti-government and anti-police.
I heard a Reply All episode about the use of CompStat in NYC, which is just a manual algorithm for predictive policing. It started as a useful tool to prevent crime, but devolved into racial profiling as officers began to downgrade crimes in their reports to make their numbers look better, until eventually it resulted in racial profiling and arresting people on false charges.
Should HN be completely un-moderated? There's a decent chance that the quality of the forum would drop and users could move elsewhere.

I firmly believe that Facebook is responsible for shaping the tone of their platform (every social network does this in one way or another). A platform that allows anything may not attract the audience that Facebook desires.

Arguing that Facebook cannot set the tone of their platform is a losing game.
"ghost kitchens" that make money are called factories. Factories where they make frozen pizza and lean cuisines.
From the article that OP linked to:

"Since Compstat was introduced, crime rates in New York City have dropped dramatically. From 1993 to 1995, the total crime rate declined 27.44 percent across the city."

National crime rates dropped as well in that period but nowhere near 27%.
I think the majority of lightning is cloud to cloud.

The big events I've seen/felt were at Cape Canaveral (happens every year), but I also saw the Dec. 2019 storm in Jakarta, which was accompanied by tornados - this one was so intense that adults were scared for their lives, a real fireworks display.

Both areas have tropical-level energy.
Yeah, that sounds pretty bad and precisely the kind of thing I don't like at all. The carte blanche that companies have over anything that has been anywhere near anything of theirs is really annoying and not really practical for most people, and kind of stupid of you stop to think about it. Why can't we have company data in a thing where you can wipe just that? If I come to work and bring a personal device, they can supposedly search it. But what am I really supposed to do, leave my phone and watch at home and drop off the face of the earth during that time period? I understand that corporate security is a thing and all but some of this is just something that needs to actually consider practicality :/
I use Tor for most of my browsing these days. While I'm under no illusion that it protects me from the US government (it IS NSA software after all), I'm fairly confident that it does protect me against non-15-eyes and corporate spying and data collection.
I saw one more reason for failure in there:

>> We were running a restaurant doing $6M in revenue but paying real estate for a place that needed $20M in revenue to be profitable.

Low interest rates. They drive real estate prices way up. Had they been able to buy vs rent or simply pay less, they would have been in better shape.

IMO low interest rates are actually causing problems for the economy.
You forgot the part where people dox you for being a ham radio operator and try to get you fired from work because only right-wing extremists use ham radio.
Which BSDs did you try and what is the precise behavior of subnet mask parameters that you had a problem with? It would be best if you could include the exact ifconfig command, the output from running the command and what was the expected outcome.

Same here with the opposite point:

The government intervening and controlling private companies that distribute information is proven to bring down democracies. It literally constantly happens all around the world.

These are private companies that enable citizens to communicate with each other, and should be regulated as such (as little as possible).

To be fair, the cold reboot was their way of dealing with the traffic police specifically, not all police.

But still, the scale here is massive - they fired 30,000 people overall, and half of them on a single day. And, just as in US today, the opposition claimed that such a disruptive measure would unleash a wave of criminal or reckless behavior (on the roads), and a lot of people would die as a result. That didn't happen.

Yep. One function per C/obj file for smallest static binary possible.
Stats for Part I offenses are based on incidents reported to the police, not arrests made by the police. These offenses include homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, rape, theft, etc. This is how cities typically measure their crime rate and how high crime areas are identified.

Stats for Part II offenses are based on arrests only. These offenses include minor assaults, fraud, forgery, drugs crimes, prostitution, weapon violations, loitering, etc. A large subset of Part II offenses do not have a specific victim so the stats are driven by police enforcement.
I disagree, you can't have no moderation AND advertising optimizations at the same time. Because radical positions increases engagement metrics, advertisers will push users towards their most extreme content at all time. We need to put a ceiling on how extreme that content can be.
graphviz makes graphs, and PlantUML makes UML diagrams:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Modeling_Language

Not being flippant, that's the difference. graphviz/dot is general-purpose and can be configured to produce UML-like diagrams, but that's labor intensive.

PlantUML takes text and produces UML diagrams from it. It's configurable... as long as you want UML. If you want something else, reach for graphviz.

In my own work, I use dot/graphviz for diagramming abstract syntax trees, while I've used PlantUML a couple times to diagram the layout of structs and to map the high-level relationships between modules in large software projects.

org-mode does a very nice job of integrating both of those formats into documents, fyi.

Abusive behavior is behavior which Facebook decides turns away the users they want to keep.
My impression, as an enterprise user is that Windows updates require reboots less frequently than they used to.

I also note that Macs often require update reboots too, which suggests there is more to this.

Some Linux updates also require a reboot on some distributions. Less frequently than Windows, but still there.
>Facebook brought in nearly $70 billion in advertising revenue last year.

What % of that was from companies that are now boycotting, including Unilever?

I have to imagine a company like Unilever was spending no small sum on Facebook ads.

I have been using it for about 8months now and found that the migration portion of it isn't quite ready but is being heavily worked on.

For me, the type safety and ease of use with the api has been fantastic though. For now, I have been happy to use the client but not the migration tool. It has been built so that you don't need to do full buy in if you don't want to.
They invest in opportunities to build portfolios that provide a reward/risk ratio and performance/risk characteristics that are appealing to their LPs. If they don't, they don't survive. They aren't charities investing in things society doesn't know it needs, they're investment vehicles geared towards providing exposure to high risk/high reward early stage private investments. Some of them have a social impact angle, and those funds are different by nature due to the demands of their LPs, but it doesn't make sense to pretend this is about anything other than profit on a given timescale.
sounds like apples to oranges. you shut down your windows computer at night, but not your mac - i don't get it?

mac updates do take a while, but unless i'm misremembering, they're less frequent. and some windows updates take absolutely ages, too. the difference for me is that windows update keeps breaking stuff, like bluetooth drivers -.-
I just stepped through it again, and you're spinning like crazy. He doesn't extend that knife. He doesn't face the police until after he takes a bullet in his side. He never got within knife range. He never approached the police.

He did not have to be killed. You're really telling me that we can't ask for three more seconds to let him drop the knife or actually approach an officer with it?

And that's the problem with this logic. You want to allow absolute hair trigger aggression by police officers. And when you allow that, you get innocent people killed. Because the cops can't make that decision correctly every time, and if you train them to shoot first, they will.

This guy didn't have to die. I don't know what was in his head, but I know he didn't have to die.
> I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm saying that it's reasonable to assume that complete information suppression by a conspiracy of bad actors across independent localities is likely impossible. This is why most conspiracy theories are false. Information suppression is hard and even more rare is uniform behavior across many thousands of individual police departments.

The only one in this thread that has mentioned either conspiracy theories or complete information suppression is you. You responded to this comment:

"Frankly, that’s incredibly difficult to believe. When the cameras are off, police lie about the circumstances to make their violence seem justified. (Or even when the cameras are on — for example, the NYC police union has opposed the firing of Eric Garner’s murderer.)"

With the following:

"This is technically a conspiracy theory right?"

I don't know how you arrived at "complete information suppression" from the first comment. I think that most cops, like most drivers, would lie to protect themselves. I also think that some portion of cops don't NEED to lie to protect themselves, because they aren't people who abuse their powers. There is some unknown portion, however, that became police because they enjoy the opportunities for power and domination over others, and use their power to abuse others.

> It's definitely true that police act in their self-interest and corruptly sometimes. But sometimes is a term that represents vastly different circumstances with tons of different causations, effects, etc.

This sentence is in line with my conclusions throughout this discussion. It is something we agree on. This is an argument along a spectrum; I've given solid logical reasoning for why I think there is some percentage of police that are amoral and abusive, namely that it is the MOST attractive job for people of that persuasion, and I am a first-hand witness of it with n=~7.

What I am still waiting for is any sort of logic behind claims you've made that are of this ilk:

"most likely that the ratio is overwhelmingly good cops with a few abusers, and generally if/when present, concentrated in specific localities."

Where's your reasoning for why cops are overwhelmingly good? You keep blasting a message without providing your reasoning. You've seen my reasoning, as I've repeated it several times now, but provided none for your claims. Please do so now.
Yep, I understood that, just wanted to add my (maybe unnecessary) 2 cents.
In this case, why would you be interested in YC? What would it offer you?

It seems disappointing that YC's value is no longer qualitatively good advice for early-stage founders and a close-knit community of hackers.

Maybe I'm just jaded, but it appears increasingly corporatized every year. Sometimes it feels like YC might as well be a certificate — just a stamp of approval that provides access to a network of investors and clout. (I'd love to be wrong on this).
This is perhaps one of the most offensive things I have ever read.

A detective can explain their reasoning and thought processes, and a judge / jury / review board / whatever can make a determination based on that whether or not the detective acted properly.

Software doesn't defend itself, and often the algorithms behind it are secret. Even when they aren't, many of the models created today are just not explainable, even by those who have developed and trained them.

`sshd` isn't a valid package name in Ubuntu repos which Xubuntu uses directly and without modification (it's openssh-server you are looking for) so apt would throw a package not found error.

Wait what? I mean sure, at scale CM is not feasible to compute (eg. n body problem). But our inability to precisely compute the otherwise completely predictable events is not the same as QM which can give true randomness.

They aren't, but WebKit does a lot of the work around that and it's possible that the bug is in that rather than the platform libraries (which generally do work outside of the browser…) I'd say it's worth filing a bug for WebKit and then see if they send you over to Safari.

Not sure if I have data to back this up but my theory around political turmoil and echo chambers is as follows:

- Before widespread internet use, say year 2000, all communities were local. News were local + nation wide, people still focused on their physical proximity of 20 miles that affected them the most. Today, none of my friends read local news. Local news outlets are being bankrupted left and right.

- Anonymity on the internet. People can say whatever they want without attaching their name, face and self-pride. This creates extremely unproductive conversations without consequences. Platforms such as Twitter propel this behavior to new heights. When it was local, you'd lose friends for being unpleasant, you'd lose credibility in your community for being inflammatory.

- Foreign interference - when internet use was not widespread, it was difficult to infiltrate a foreign election campaign and interfere with it.

- Data collection and manipulation - Targeted newsfeeds that feed these echo chambers could not possibly reach critical mass before the internet. Echo chambers were physical places to go to - Hells Angels or joining the Evangelical Christian church. No such limits exist now.

- Scale - The internet allows unprecedented scale to operate on. Echo chambers reverb into unimaginable self-resonance. Joe Rogan can say something and millions could hear it. +1M subscriber channels on YouTube span thousands. That was practically impossible unless you were on national TV.

The internet has lot of positives (free voice, commerce, sharing of ideas, services, etc.) and its drawbacks are now surfacing. I want to go back to 90's when we had healthy debates between republicans and democrats. We were one country. One voice. And people debated about issues and not about other people's clans.

We wanted internet to be the left/middle of the Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights [1] but ended up creating something thats not too far from the right side of the canvas. Total chaos and loss of decency and respect for each other.

Facebook, as a business, is primarily interested in making money and would love to avoid all these messy issues regarding what to censor so that it can focus on selling ads.

Therefore, FB would love to have a legitimate external authority, e.g. the government, mandating what's allowed or not. Unfortunately, no one is willing to do that dirty work, and thus forcing Facebook to do it themselves.

(Granted, I've simplified the matter quite a bit here by saying "Facebook, as a business". Facebook is also a collection of individual employees who have their own beliefs and do shape FB in their image.)
