Amazon's search engine is pure garbage and for a company this size, and with their status, it's quite embarrassing.

Just a quick example: I saw some nice furniture on Amazon by a brand named Rivet. Turns out this is one of their in-house brands. I wanted to know more about their other products so in one of their listing, I clicked on the brand's hyperlink, expecting to be redirected to the brand's page...

But nope, I landed on a generic search page with, among other things, metal rivet items! Truly mind boggling. So in the end, I had to use Google search to find the actual page.

The major headache with web spas is the little things like scrolling showing the address bar then hiding a button slightly. I treat some sites as apps by using one icons, and that’s ok but something that needs to behave like a fixed screen size kind of app doesn’t work well. Why? Apple doesn’t want it to? Why? 30% take on the AppStore is at stake!

Who is this test aimed at? It mentions the math GRE, which would make me think that it targets people applying to graduate programs, but it doesn't really have that vibe and I imagine becoming a test that graduate programs would consider is quite a difficult undertaking.

> It's definitely a little racist to half ass it so hard ...

Without seeing how they treated students at a similarly ranked non-HBCU, it's difficult to distinguish racism from colorblind elitism. It's probably a bit of both racism and elitism, but without a comparably ranked school for comparison, I wouldn't be comfortable using the word "definitely".

I went to look in New after reading this page, and found this wonderful long article, about the world's reaction to the virus, which had been posted for 6 hours without getting an upvote! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23934334

So thanks, I used to read in New all the time, but forgot how good it can get! The front page is a lil like the pop music of HN..and I dont listen to pop music, not sure why I trust the front few pages contain the best of HN.
I think that's one of the techniques used by Robert Cahaly to predict the Trump victory. He calls it "social desirability bias”

I read something where he thinks that the bias is even worse this time around, he's calculated Trump down by 3 points right now.
I would love to hear your anecdotes about OCD’s competitive advantage, if only because I find it extremely hard to believe.

OCD is not a knack for being organized or orderly. Without even mentioning the compulsions, it’s a never-ending onslaught of intrusive thoughts and corresponding anxieties.

Managed well, it’s still a permanent distraction that’s always in the background. Managed poorly, it’s life-ruining. I don’t see how either could yield a competitive advantage in any scenario.
I get the gist of your meaning, but many, if not most of the startups valued highest are started by a fairly homogeneous set. I think it has as much to do with social and business connections as it does with racism, which is to say it has an effect which is difficult to measure individually, but which is possible to quantify and aggregate.

So to answer your question in the manner in which it was posed:

>Law enforcement wants to brand protesters as rioters because it helps law enforcement aims and goals, which is to end the protest and the riots.

Categorically false. There were dozens upon dozens of peaceful protests across the country in the past weeks that were decidedly not branded as riots. Very few police departments have declared groupings as riots, fewer than ten. Orders of magnitude less than the amount of protests.

>This should be obvious, as they have allowed looting and rioting in instances, as well as curtailing and meaningfully impeding constitutionally protected protest activity.

This makes little sense and actually disproves your point? City councils and mayors oversee the police departments and tell them to stand down.

>When law enforcement is allowed to designate people or groups as rioters indiscriminately, and then brutalize them, then arrest them, it’s clear that your rights are being impinged.

So you just said they're not able to since in other areas they've been told to stand down and not enforce or designate anything. You can't have it both ways.

Shouldn't 2( or more) smaller telescopes 1 positioned on the North pole and 1 on the South both on polar orbits pointing at the same spot solve that issue?

To me it seems like the moment we got a proper space telescope( Hubble) there was a ton of low-hanging fruit to discover at such a degree that so many years later we are still finding out new stuff. Compared to that Earth based telescopes seem to have to go through massive efforts to make headline discoveries( not that any other less discussed paper isn't important, it's just that... how would we know about e.g. the acceleration of the universe from an Earth based observatory?).
So why should a goal like truly universal Internet access play second fiddle to astronomical considerations, when the technical solutions required for coexistence are so trivial?

(And I really couldn't care less how many astronomers disagree with the assertion that it's trivial to avoid interference to observations from satellite passes. If I want to know something about astronomy, I'll ask an astronomer. Astronomers, by the same token, should consult digital imaging experts before concluding that the rest of the world is out to wreck their careers with unreasonably-expensive or technically-insurmountable roadblocks. You guys can afford to lose a frame or two now and then in exchange for what Starlink offers the rest of humanity.)

I think your confusion lies in how you are supposed to give this information to the backend with a simple cursor. The cursor can be whatever you want it to be and used however you decide to do your query. Your cursor is an opaque string usually a base64 encoded string that looks like an ID, when in fact what it really is, is something that serialized to a string. Like say your data for your query can be expressed as an object well all you have to do is serialize that object to a string and by making it JSON or some other serialization format then you encode it with base 64 and viola you have a cursor. When you need to deserialize it like when the client sends you the cursor and you have to make the query something else like say it gets undecoded from base 64 and you expect it to be JSON then you could parse the JSON and have a regular object.

With that said though you shouldn’t leak your implementation details to your Frontend. In other words the Frontend should just treat the cursor as an ID and receive and send back cursors unchanged.

Even though you may not be using GraphQL if you have a lot of questions about this GraphQL relay has an excellent explanation in a spec about pagination and cursoring and that page is where I learned most of what I know about Cursoring [1]. That page also includes pseudo code and detail on how you do before cursor and after cursor queries and first N or last N selections.

People are asking about Japanese law on this, so I'll write what I know. I am not a lawyer, just a person who cares about copyright.

Japan does not have fair use, instead it has a number of specific exceptions to copyright. For example, you can take photos of things semi-permanently installed in an outdoor area and use those photos for non-commercial purposes, even if you photographed a 2D artwork that might have copyright. You can read the copyright law in English here:

https://www.cric.or.jp/english/clj/cl2.html#art32

The most generous exception in the law (except maybe the search engine one) is for "quotation", Article 32. For quotation you must use only as much of the work as is necessary for commentary, clearly separate it from your own content, clearly attribute it, and the quoted content must be subordinate to your own content. Regarding the last point, that means you can't just say "this is a nice painting" and post the image, you have to provide some commentary on it. (No, that's not clearly defined, so you'd need to work it out in court if there was a dispute.)

In practice this doesn't matter much on social media, and things work out much like places where you have fair use, but sometimes people try to enforce all their rights. Usually the people they are upset at take down their posts, but I guess in this case that didn't happen.

One really unfortunate side effect of this is that Japanese Wikpedia has very few images compared to other Wikipedias. Things that would be fine in an article, like book covers, are excluded because their Wikimedia file page would not have commentary and, so the thinking goes, would be infringement. (I remember reading the discussion that came to this conclusion on a Wikipedia discussion page years ago, but haven't been able to find it since.) This is why the Japanese article for Anpanman has a photo of a mural, for example, while the English article has a book cover.

For moral rights (著作人格権), these actually also exist in many places besides the United States. Practically speaking, if you license a work for use it's pretty common to have a clause saying you will not exercise these rights, and if you're in a mutually beneficial relationship any concerns over how you're credited can usually be negotiated. In this particular case the use was completely unauthorized so that didn't happen. (I am still confused about why the poster didn't just remove the image when asked.)
And then blink and all tech products will be rebranded as lifestyle products overnight.
Jesus said "Then they will go away to eternal punishment". That seems clear enough to me that there's some place (not necessarily a physical place) where people will suffer eternally. I think that covers the basics of the Christian view of Hell. Whether it's associated with burning or not seems a lesser matter to me.

I don't know that this advice is so realistic anymore, or at least the target click thru rates should be adjusted. Ads on FB now have very low click-thru, and even then, I'm not sure how much that ultimately tells you about your product or market. You can spend a lot of money going through all kinds of different customer segments on FB, or you could recognize that there are other ways to attract customers than social media ads.

This book looks into other techniques to do so: https://www.amazon.com/Bullseye-Marketing-Grow-Business-Fast...

Of course none of these can tell you the 'why' -- it might be something simple that you would never have thought of, but you end up pivoting too early. Or perhaps your marketing isn't polished. Or you're way early/late to a field. If you knew the 'why,' that can be worth far more than blowing a huge cash load on FB. I feel like techies flock to such techniques because it's easy and fits into the scale techno-narrative. It means that many will be mislead.

Amen to this. I don't remember the source, but I read somewhere that Google's internal 'killer feature' is indeed the low barrier of entry. You can get a new intern working with it in literally a week. It's also good enough for all employees up to the very senior people, so you get a good coverage of people with the same tool, which is a tremendous benefit in team cooperation.

Yes, it seems a bit implicitly assumed that people agree that the technological breakthroughs of the last few hundred years has made the world a better place to live in (child mortality, average life expectancy etc. metrics), and that the values (empiricism and scientific method) that made this possible thus ought to be protected.

Ask HN: A modern website and other advice?
Dear HN-- I could use some advice... Covid has changed my living situation, my marriage situation and my child care situation. I take care of my daughter 4-6 days a week and cannot maintain a normal job due to this honor.

I have had a business idea kicking around my skull for a decade. It's a niche industry-- the SW package would mostly consist of a landing/social media/marketing/store site+CRUD web app+Mobile apps for this specific industry. Nothing groundbreaking.

I have celebrity contacts in this industry who have agreed to market this software, and I would like them to be able to say to their brethren, "We can deploy a website/mobile apps for you in X many hours." Meaning, I'd like to automate/parameterize everything as much as possible.

My question is-- what platforms and technologies should I be using? I don't think learning anything should be difficult for me.

But I'd like to do things in the most modern way possible, and need your input.

Thank you kindly,

2 are the main challenges of the FPGA utilization:

- The first one is the FPGA programming. Now using OpenCL and HLS is much easier compared to VHDL/verilog to design your own accelerators.

- The second one is the FPGA deployment and integration. Until now it was very difficult to integrate your design with applications, to scale-out efficiently and to share it among multiple threads/users. The main reason was the lack of an OS_layer (or abstraction layer) that would enable to treat FPGAs as any other computing resource (CPU, GPU).

This is why at inaccel we developed a unique vendor-agnostic orchestrator for FPGAs. The orchestrator allows much easier integration, scaling and resource sharing of FPGAs.

That way we have managed to decouple the FPGA designer from the software developer. The FPGA designer creates the bitstream and the software developer just call the function that wants to accelerate.
No need to define the bitstream file, no need to define the interface or the memory buffer allocation.

And the best part: It is vendor and platform agnostic. The FPGA designer creates multiple bitstream for different platform and the software developer couldn't care less. The developer just call the function and the inaccel FPGA orchestrator magically configure the right FPGA for the right function.
A very large portion of houses built in the past 70 years in the U.S. are single story. My point was that even going from single story, single family housing to two story, single family housing makes a big difference in density, and that can enable walkability.

I specifically don't mean that you have to build up to Manhattan levels to get walkability. Personally, I find the skyscraper jungle of Manhattan to be a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there, at least at my stage in life.

If anything, perhaps Manhattan levels of density are not great for nice retail businesses. If the average building is 8-10 stories, there is relatively little ground level space available, rents are high, and so there is little room for experimentation. The 5-6 story Berlin (and to some degree Paris) level of density is maybe a sweet spot.

Now, this doesn't necessarily work as well for families with children. However, Berlin manages to be decent for this by having very wide sidewalks, a lot of parks, and hinterhofen. Some parts of Chicago and Brooklyn manage to achieve a similar effect with single family housing by having tightly spaced three story row houses.

Like I said, ultimately a lot of cities that are nice to live in in this way are that way because they were built before the invention of the car, so people valued this much more than they do today when the alternative is to get in their car and go to some big box store with a huge parking lot that doesn't need to be very near by.
Has anybody seen the UX? It’s very deceptive. I went to a local business listing and tapped on Menu, expecting to see a deep link to their site. Instead it shows a Buy On Google page with hosted menu. It was hard to leave that page; my browser history could only start over the search since it was an SPA of a local listing.

Buy on Google is the new AMP, except now it’s taking over the rest of commerce, not just web publishing.

I've spent a great deal of time and energy trying to set meaningful goals and progress towards things, then worry that I was progressing to the wrong thing and adjust goals etc.

Rails 2.0 came out and hundreds of people were able to get their own little slice of what the web could offer internally.

So Asians don't count as minorities anymore?
There's another ship. It has captain, crew, destination and a course set. Turns out the destination sucks, but it is too late once they arrive.

There is another ship that comes across some depressive and anxiety provoking spots on the course. The captain consults with other captains and finds out the destination was foolish. But through this process they are able to iterate on setting better and better destinations.

The problem space of life is combinatorially explosive. No one knows the exact best destination, and best destinations both differ from ship to ship and also change over time. Anxiety and depression gets a bad rep but in their non-toxic forms they want us to ask "can I do it" and "is it worth it" respectively. This helps us setting better and better courses.

Chronic anxiety and depression are the ones that are sticky. They tell us "you can't do anything" and "nothing is worth it". Then the right approach (as this article aligns with) is to accept and commit (ACT), and balance them with the participatory knowledge of life, aligned with our values, which in turn (hopefully) informs us that we can do some things pretty well and there are still many things that are worth it.
Err... They?
