skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Looking at the methodology it looks like a reasonably conducted survey, but it has a basic methodological flaw: it cannot distinguish between any particular models, such as "a privileged group oppressing contrary beliefs" versus "the peace treaty of tolerance is functioning and bigots must suppress their beliefs to keep its protections." Further, the causes of self censorship need not be identical. Both of the two models I just posited can be in play at the same time in various subpopulations and around various issues. And there are lots of group/individual relations you can posit for this. Social science is hard.

So this data set might be an interesting preliminary trial, but releasing it as a finished study is either sloppy or malicious on the part of the Cato Institute.

Edit: Reading the other comments on here, I'm inclined towards malicious as it seems spun to create just the kind of rhetoric that we're seeing here.

Christ, it's worse than many of the default subreddits.
Cars are incredibly loud, as are delivery trucks. Both tend to be smaller in Japan, and there is a much lower car density in particular in most urban areas.
Didn't even know he was pro-religious until you mentioned it - I was genuinely confused what he was trying to say. He never explicitly mention religion - now that you brought it up, it makes sense. I always try to shy away from religious discussion - online or offline - so this was not intentional from my side.

"Solve shipping"... Shipping packages is a solved problem in many countries. You order something, before the shipping company picks up the orders for today at the sell, anywhere from 17:00 to 22:00. It shows up at your door the next day or a pickup point of your choosing.
It’s concerning that the debate that formed and forms open source is not itself available on open source platforms and/or archived and licensed and available for access in the same manner and license as the code itself. Good spot, quite apropos!
Suburbia straight doesn't work. Requiring a car for transit means kids have to continually be chauffeured by adults to anywhere meaningful. Lack of local business means there's limited economic potential for the city - it's all in one tax district and redistributed around. Sprawl increases the cost of providing services like fire and police. You're taking on some significant burdens in exchange for not having your neighbors walk past your house.
THANK YOU! At last :)

Politician Taro Yamada (his name is extremely generic but real) and manga artist Ken Akamatsu are copyright progressives and have managed to avert some of the worst proposed reforms, but I don't think there's any organization working on this.
Apart from the, I feel, quite pretentious and lazy Rob Pike quote. The productivity in this case is probably referring to the initial period rather than the steady state afterwards (so to speak).

Go is a fairly horrible language by today's standards, but it does what it's supposed to. I like generating code automatically at compile time based on, but I can appreciate the appeal of something that forces you to actually do work rather than being clever.

I mean, after all - it was only the cattle.

It's not as if the attackers got into the accounts of customers, the paying advertisers.

This is mainly targetted at companies who wants to have an in house web-based excel-like grid in their application.

1. It can be a used to build Apps that render multiple tables in a Sheet. Or a CryptoCurrency trading app where numbers tick at high frequency.

2. It can be used to edit and download Excel files

3. Quick slice/dice of csv/excel data for DataScience projects

4. Formula can be used to run Custom calculations or to fetch data from a third-party server and display them on a Sheet.

Most corporates do not allow Google Suites in the workplace due to privacy concerns. The only alternative is Microsoft Excel, which are not shareable. (unless u send them as attachment :P)
You keep making factually incorrect statements. I'm not going to go into detail to refute them, because I don't feel comfortable sharing internal design details and security mechanisms, but your comfort in confidently asserting falsehoods is disconcerting, to say the least.
ARM has big little on every chip except embedded ones. The mix of super scalar and in order CPUs significantly improves power consumption during idling.
The problem with charities like that is that they fill coffers of some corrupt middleman instead of the intended recipients, and even when this doesn't happen - they disrupt functional businesses in Africa by random price-dumping so you cannot plan years ahead because westerners can just flood your market for a year with free stuff out of the blue.

All the countries that went from developing to developed - did this not because of charity, but because of globalisation and business. The only charity that seemed to help was reduction of debt and cheap money for investment.

The song isn't a problem compared to that.

And BTW most of the condescending meaning is infered by western listeners. I'd like to hear the opinion of people from Africa, because often this kind of outrage on behalf of someone is a self-fulfilling prophesy:

"I think Africa is backward, poor and unhappy and there's nothing you can do - therefore when you sing about that it's rude, because you are pointing out the thing that can't be helped, like pointing a finger at a person on a wheelchair".

But if the song was about some poor part of USA you wouldn't have that problem, because you would assume it's temporary thing that will get fixed. And even if not - all these people can just move to other state, right?

Well maybe the problem is with your assumptions? People don't usually think of themselves as a lost cause.
OCD isn't double-checking your line-spacing in a document, it's being unable to leave the house in under 45 minutes because you check the stove twenty times, then the door lock twenty, then turn around 5 minutes down the street to check again, then make a deal with yourself that you'll check the stove 3 times in a row and then not allow yourself to do it again, only you do it again anyways and finally take a picture of it so you can discretely check the photo on your phone when you're out on your date that you showed up half an hour late to.

to punish twitter they wouldn't need the identities of the retweeters.
the only use for knowing the retweeters is to haul them into court.
That's exaggerating a bit (e.g. I'm still home on weekends and evenings, meet friends, and there are places that are neither home nor the office), but is not entirely wrong, especially during work days.

Keep in mind that "in the office" doesn't mean "at my desk" or "working". People who don't have such a nice office would spend some of the already scarce time e.g. first getting to and from a gym/maker space, and I'd much rather spend that time working on some hobby project. I'm certainly in company-owned buildings quite a bit longer than 40 hours, but I don't work longer, so I do feel like my work-life-balance is pretty good.

(And if you start arguing about mindset/being "at work", then surely being "at work" 24/7 because work is now at home would be worse).

These office amenities were a major argument in hiring, and a company that didn't have them would have to pay me a lot more. All the amenities being near a place where I am, with low-friction access, is one of the key benefits that's hard to replicate.

Maybe if I lived in a large complex with many like-minded people there'd be a way to set up shared spaces like that, but I haven't heard of any place like that, and it's hard due to access and trust issues.
I went into the office this week as I had physical work to do in the equipment rooms. Very few people are there (normally 7k, now it’s more like 700 across 10 floors)

It’s been so long since I wore headphones I forgot how bad it was. Zooms were difficult as other people in earshot (only 4 people, all about 4m away) were talking at the same time.

But if I had an office with a door (like I have at home) and a fixed deal with monitors rather than hunching over a laptop (as I do at home) maybe things would be different.
Nice analogy. Goals are important. But don't forget to enjoy the journey.
Where is this "ideal world" and how do I get there?
Let's not pretend like it's just the tech industry though, which is actually more meritocratic than most. For example when it comes to diversity and inclusiveness, high finance and management consulting make the tech industry look like a UN convention. They pretty much exclusively recruit at Ivy league equivalent schools, which are composed of an absurdly disproportionate amount of kids from wealthy backgrounds (any middle class kid who gets accepted to an Ivy probably got a substantial scholarship to their flagship state university).
Read the comments first and thought this was going to be crap. Instead it's great! Good read. Also read The Mom Test.
>Why is this bonkers? The right to attribution is clear, and it’s not your place to judge whether or not the artist should be exercising it.

Why not? It's precisely our place as citizens to criticize laws we deem absurd/unfair/bad, including people who chose to exercize them in hamrful ways.

Human law != some divine dictum everybody should not criticize and uphold at all times. Seggregation was a law too.
It's definitely sexist and racist. I think usage of the term shot up following the incident a couple months back where a white woman explicitly tried to use faked fear to weaponize police against a black man telling her to leash her dog in Central Park. Combined with the current prominence of Black Lives Matter and some older similar incidents of white women calling police on black people, the racist sexist meme has really taken off.
The Mom Test is a must read! Only when you read it, do you realize how wrong your previous approaches to business validation were.
No. Website doesn't provide experience as good as native app. Many ordinary users can tell you this.

- Privacy. A good intention mobile app, can be designed to work without Internet.

- Internet. User doesn't have access to Internet all-the-time, but you still need certain app to work.

- Fast. Web app can never be as fast as native app. It is not realistic to expect code which runs under an JavaScript interpreter layer, can be as fast as native (or almost native) code which is nearer to CPU layer.

The Coronavirus and Commercial Real Estate: Neither Is the Real Threat to NYC
How would this work? I get emails like "you have been added to <link> gerrit review" and "<link> Redmine issue was updated" several time a day and I need to open these links.
This is cool! Is having the entire document encoded in the URL really the best way to create a share-able link?
This is a solved problem. Don't crop photos on your platform. If you want photos to be cropped to fit a square box, make it explicit for users to enable. Have an additional attribution field if that's not sufficient enough.
There's an opportunity cost. There has to have been a better use of that person's time than taking a tool designed to say yes to repetitive "are you sure?" prompts, and get it to keep up with memory throughput. The throughput of a tool like that does not matter.

The schedule a call when you found someone you can talk to.

Of course you lose something when physical presence is impossible, but in my experience you can always find someone who is happy to write, chat or call.
Google “Golang” rather than “Go”
This should be a wake up call. Thank god the malicious messaging was only limited to a tiny Bitcoin scam. Imagine if they had pulled this off on the accounts of national leaders to stir hostilities or violence.

What is the recourse for this kind of failure? I suspect there is none. Twitter is shielded from lawsuits for its content. If this is provably negligent behavior and resulted in actual physical harm it are we supposed to do nothing and simply hope it never happens again?

Garmin Outage Persists After 24 Hours Downtime
Do you consider the treatment of NC A&T by Hooli to be disrespectful? I certainly do.

The treatment looks to me like people (or the firm) felt obligated to show up but not obligated to put much effort in or to expect to recruit anyone. If they are running a recruiting event with little expectation of recruiting, does that not agree with the article’s view that the event was solely paying lip service to diversity.
I stayed in a hotel at Blackfriars at the start of the week. A supplier took me out for drinks, we went to the Cheshire Cheese, it was empty. And closed early.

Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (PRML) is absolutely recommended. Available for free as well! [1]

The Elements of Statistical Learning (ESL) [2] is also a very reputable source.

They also make a good pair: PRML has a Bayesian approach while ESL is traditionally frequentist.

A major cause of depression is the feeling of loss of control of ones life, and lack of security. For example, you are bullied/harassed at work, or someone takes credit for your work, but this is compounded by not being able to report it (because of conflict of interest in HR, or because it would not help) and not being able to quit, because of financial difficulties, or because the company will give you bad recommendations then.
Or your family members put you under pressure to follow a certain life path, and you cannot escape.

Then the observed correlation would be the reverse causation of the article.
Isn't MIPS owned by a single company? How is that ever going to get traction if MIPS doesn't deliver exactly the types of chips that its customers want?
You'd still need your product shown on Google. I would assume that this happens via the product feeds and ads. So that you buy directly from the ad.

Getting your product listing to the top of Google search results is not free.
First things first; if you want a job at Google then you should apply and nothing anybody says is going to change that. It's not a huge opportunity cost and there is no shame in rejection; you're always allowed to try again later.

I cannot say if its "easier" or "harder" than it ever used to be; Google likes to say it doesn't "lower the bar" at all, so take from that what you will.

But here's a data point:

I started at Google in December in Europe. I graduated with a Bachelor's in 2012 (Maths & Phys) and have been working as a Developer since. Everything I learned regarding programming was learned post-Uni. Most of my "interview prep" was really a few weekends of leetcode/hackerrank questions (I was interviewing for several companies, so the time investment didn't feel too bad). I've done things like Project Euler and Advent of Code over the years too (but not to an insane degree; I've only solved ~120 PE problems over 8 years). You need to practice solving problems, and less an encyclopedic knowledge of everything (of course, the latter helps with the former). I didn't really do anything to prepare for the System Design interview; I don't really know what kind of prep one would do for that.

You may be asked to do at least one interview in one of {Java, C++, Go}, so make sure you're comfortable with one of them (expertise not required); I did two interviews in Python and one in Java.

(Things might be difficult right now because of the Coronavirus pandemic, so hiring may be temporarily frozen for where you want to go.)

Edit: With so much experience, you shouldn't be applying to a Graduate role.
Amen. Childish name-calling like this and "ok boomer" are being used to dismiss anything a person says because they're older.
> I can almost guarantee it's to get you to click back into the store for re-engagement.

Yes. I saw that while in China. I would get push notifications from Gmail and I was able to know what was the mail about without access to Gmail. But, for Facebook I would only get "You got a message". And that was totally unhelpful. Now, I knew that I had a message that I was not able to access too. Seriously infuriating.
Does fontconfig support this? I know that you can set boolean flags for some fonts (like old-style vs. lining numbers) using the fontfeature property, but what about the "casl" axis, for example?
Even if your commute is longer - being in the office doesn't mean working. If you live alone, coming home at 23:00 and going straight to bed doesn't have to mean poor work-life-balance.

Imagine coming in at 9, having breakfast, working three hours, lunch from 12:30-13:00, working 5 hours, dinner, then spending the evening in the maker space until you need to go home.
I love that book. Such a tiny book but so much wisdom.
I appreciate that on HN this article may provoke intelligent conversation, but this article is smells a lot like a "top N things you need right now" blog post where everything is an Amazon affiliate link.

(Edit: I was wrong about affiliate links. Not deleting to publically self-shame.)

The real data science would be producing articles like this automatically, and with good SEO, to drive revenue.

The list is OK. I've studied ISL (and some of ESL). A friend really enjoyed Think Stats. Charles Wheelan's book is in the same vein as How To Lie With Statistics (Darrell Huff?) but in greater depth.

I started with R because that's what my team was mostly using when I got into this area. Hadley Wickham's free books are good too.
Thanks for sharing this list. If you happen to have any recommendations for pure JavaScript, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, I'll probably take a look at the TypeScript recommendations and work my way through the material.
Why do you think it is worthwhile?

> I don't think that's a reasonable line of thought, but it is consistent.

I guess we can agree that this seems to apply to Japan in general :)

> you could consider a user's timeline like their "home page", since they control it, and an RT could be considered a form of "reposting", because you put it in places it had not been before.

Strongly disagree with this. I'm a seasoned user and I feel that I'm completely out of control regarding what I and others see. This might also be a cultural (wrt. internet and mobile computing) difference, but I don't consider a Twitter-like timeline to be human-generated content at all, apart from the content that the users have explicitly created themselves. I believe this is also why most of HN seems to have a backlash at the moment.

FWIW, attribution rights are common everywhere, but they're an integral part of copyright, not something that can be applied separately as a secondary measure if ordinary copyright enforcement fails. I also believe that most users here are aware of the issues with the Japanese court system and face.
Hacker News already does look like made in Win95 age.
Nice article. Most people make this mistake of building products first and then finding customers for it. By following this approach they build something that nobody wants. Ideally one should validate the idea and market fit first. One shouldn't be building something for which there are no customers at all.

Follow this approach:
-> demo
- sell
- build

And not:
-> build
- demo
- sell

I bought this e-book recently on Gumroad and loved how it is right on point about how to strategically validate your business and generate sales before you even build it.

Here it is if someone is interested - https://gumroad.com/a/497906803

It provides so much value for the small price you have to pay. I highly recommend buying this book.
I had wished that all my life... :D
The complaint was that AMD was insignificant, not that it's low margin which is a perfectly acceptable business strategy.

As dralley mentioned. AMD is actually one of the few businesses with both strong CPU and GPU expertise. Building a console with any other company would require buying the CPU and GPU from two different companies. Intel would refuse and ARM CPUs including the ones Nvidia designed are not powerful enough, so really AMD CPU+Nvidia GPU is the only alternative to AMD CPU+AMD GPU but there is absolutely no reason for AMD to collaborate with Nvidia. The truth is that AMD is the only one that can serve this market.
I actually haven't yet - that does look quite good! Will definitely check it out next time I do a PCB.
I find it funny that none of the people here arguing really understand what data is important from a strategic sales point from view and what's not. The customers databases and other crap they store on the cloud. Not really important.

The raw billing information, oh motherfucking yes.
This looks like a great library on the surface. I would very much like to have a simpler alternative to Sidekiq for projects which doesn't require that level of complexity. Also, not having to add Redis just to run background processing makes life so much easier. I would like to thank the author of the library for all their efforts.
Most people don't watch the credits of a movie. That doesn't mean the actors didn't get attribution.
The implication is the police are after the protestors rather than rioters, which is not observed.
The problem is, that transactions do cost resources/latency and it is actually not that relevant.

Why? Because you are not building a tracer but a monitoring tool.

Your dashboard is very hard to read because it is basically just tables and your tables do not give you any visual cue. I would highly recommend getting some icons from something like https://fontawesome.com/ and make it visual clear in what screen you are.

If you have any status text, like open/closed etc. give them appropriate color like green and red.

With your rules, it does look like code so why not with a coding theme? Like how githubs markdown makes code different from the rest of the text.

Give buttons appropriate colors.

with your live view, make sure that certain text is aligned vertically;

Give your Memory graphs proper units. 500000000 is not helpful.

I would highly recommend you to take a little bit of time to look to current existing and well working solutions so you can see what makes sense and what doesn't.

I would argue that not using something like Grafana for your frontend, is a big missing feature.
It does seem like it'd benefit from a "Must" method though - so you can use it easily to populate variables at init-time
