I haven't noticed the phone status thing in years. Everyone covers their phones with gigantic cases and phone design is largely generic anymore. So it's pretty hard to tell who has the latest one.

I completely agree with you and I'm absolutely grateful for all the opportunity that people like you give me to escape my own echo chamber.

Hacker News has made me a better person, a better developer and given me the tools to become a better parent. I can't say that about any other community I've ever been a part of.

Thank you and everyone else for being part of my growth. I love you all unconditionally, but especially because you won't just blow smoke up my ass and let me think I'm smrt. I guess that's maybe not unconditional love, but that's the best phrase I can come up with to explain how I feel about all the wisdom and kindness that I get to experience here.
How I spend way too long coming up with schemes that won't work
That’s not true. That is folk constitutional law. It might be descriptive of some areas of law as they currently operate, but that is not the constitutional federalism framework in the US. When the federal government acts in the areas where it has authority, its enumerated powers[1], then it can and often does preempt state law. Sometimes the preemption is explicitly in the law, but other times it is implicit and up to a court to determine whether a particular state action or kind of state action would undermine the federal regulatory scheme.

If it is the policy of the US government that there is no guarantee of transit on the Internet, then there is a good argument that state regulations to the contrary undermine the federal scheme, which is to have a free market for transit.

[1] the expansive reading of those enumerated powers is another question altogether
Why do you have to assume the outdated devices? Can't you just check? This information is available in http headers.
I'd love to see a better alternative to Excel geared more towards scientists. While it is true that R and python should be used for analysis, its often hard to escape a tool like Excel for data entry or browsing datasets. It would be nice if there was something out there that was faster and could handle larger datasets, and had features designed to help with data entry and browsing.

I am envisioning something with double-entry data checking, enforcement of data types, and rules to check validity. Equally important would be the features it would lack - no tools to color or format text, no variable font sizes, no embedded images, etc.
Yes, it does diff the schema too.

The main use cases we've seen: 1) You made a change to some code that transforms data (SQL/Python/Spark) and want to make sure the changes in the data output are as expected.
2) Same as (1) but there is also some code review process. In addition to checking someone's source code diff, you can see the data diff.
3) You copy datasets between databases, e.g. PostgreSQL to Redshift and want to validate the correctness of the copy (either ad-hoc or on a regular basis).

We have a signup-free sandbox where you can see the exact views we provide, including schema diff: https://app.datafold.com/hackernews
Just to add on to this, a proper cage sized for 2 rats is probably going to take up at least a small kitchen table's worth of space. When have you ever seen a cage that size in a research lab? Besides, groups of 2 are the barest minimum you want for keeping rats.

As to the whole "studying stressed out rodents might not give representative results" point, I'm reminded of the Rat Park experiment [0].

Of course! No one is forced to buy into an HOA. For some Americans though I think it's less about giving up their freedoms and more about controlling their neighbors :)
I too embrace your perspective but it is unfortunately naive. If you want a tiny plastic enclosure around a simple circuit board, by all means iterate quickly. When producing larger hardware it is common to have parts which require multi-month production and testing cycles and 5-7 figures USD just for the tooling to enable the process (not including design, actual fabrication equipment, outsourced equipment time or stock material). You usually have multiple parts of this commitment level within a larger product. You don't rush out the door when you are dealing with those sorts of realities.
Erm, Wolfgang Pauli. Damned soft keyboards.
Is this in the USA?
Really excited about this. I was going to choose Firebase for a new project of mine but I really hate the inevitable coupling. I am very interested in using your product, but I am very much a noob at Postgres. How much Postgres knowledge would be needed to make use of your product? I do plan to learn as much as I can about it, but I wanted to get your thoughts. Will you be releasing docs with regards to prerequisite Postgres knowledge, or at least links to what may be useful to know?
I definitely do not have the chops for this, but I would love to see some sort of visualization that traces major, seemingly-modern computing ideas to their roots.

Misconceptions about effective altruism
I was specifically responding to the Wikipedia extract.

The citation for the statement "Firefly populations are declining worldwide, for a variety of reasons" is a link to firefly.org. That is a small, Texas group that appreciates Fireflies, which is nice. But it is home to no studies, no research, no analysis. Nor does it (that group, or the wiki page that was cited to apparently refute my personal anecdote...) cite the publication you mention. So I'm not really sure what we're discussing here.

I'm not disagreeing that there is a decline for a multitude of reasons, or that light is probably bad, but if someone says "my yard has no fireflies the apocalypse is upon us" it probably isn't credible.
Which is why most systems are yyyy/mm/DD when this matters

I think Google should start because I think the long-term viability of Android depends on it.

They don't even need to design the chips themselves. They could partner with Samsung / LG / Motorola to form a hardware consortium.

>> There is a huge, huge amount of money being wasted.

Exactly.
It really looks like something useful, until it will be misused. It is not a matter of if, but of when. So, better to not have this at all, even if the price to pay is if some cases will go unsolved.

You must think about the worse case and consider the consequences. Think about a reelect Trump feeling empowered using such a thing, don't know, to target minorities with his white supremacist ideals. If this is too much for you, consider China with Uighurs instead.

Make this 100x worse considering this is a private enterprise.

The Single Static Assignment form was only created in 1988, which is apparently so late that compilers are still discovering it (and the optimizations it enables) as some novelty today.

(Never even mind the Single Static Information form.)

I wonder if part of the reason SSA is not implemented from the start by many compilers, is precisely because it came too late to be included in seminal works like A Catalogue of Optimizing Transformations; so people that rely on those works as a canon of "classes of optimization techniques that work" won't even be aware of it.

op said 'intrastate', not sure if that relates to your point.

an argument can be made that intrastate impacts interstate, but not sure where the threshold lies - AFAIK you don't have alcohol companies suing in court to oppose local alcolhol regulations on this basis, etc, as an example (though I'm sure they lobby heavily).
Agreed, far too much waffle. The first three paragraphs don't even mention the new ship design.
Yeah, even new they're fairly cheap…
User Experience and AI: the GPT-3 'click'
The sad truth is that most of these revolutionaries don't deliver good governance. It is very easy to garner votes by saying that we are not free from economic colonialism. Even in the West, you see a similar rhetoric: gather votes by blaming the opposition party or opponents.
I'm bullish on the concept and business model from an investment standpoint, I think they are likely going to become very successful, but as a consumer I can't say I'm looking forward to delivery platforms being flooded with these "cloud kitchens".

It seems to be designed to enable mediocre restaurants to "pivot" at a moment's notice and rebrand themselves after building up a well-deserved crappy reputation, ready to start anew and fool more unsuspecting consumers. On the other side of the coin, well-loved restaurants could disappear at a moments notice because the owner/chef got tired of making the same type of cuisine and want to experiment with something new or more lucrative/trendy.

I think the agility this model offers restaurants is both a blessing and a curse in this sense, as with traditional restaurants the physical presence involved makes the brand more enduring, for better or worse.
not as easy but more fun to ruin the usb device.

if they use mousewiggling the screensaver could use other triggers/patterns to keep the box on. say 1 google search per 15 min minimum. randomly moving the mouse seems a good reason to shut down.
And, some of us are starting to reach our limits due to being boxed up for 4 months. When you study a population, you want to be able to study representative samples of said population. Global conditions for humans are not even close to representative right now. Given the known effects of confinement stress on humans, getting representative population samples for most sorts of studies seems difficult, at best.
The Ecology of Antitrust
I'm not saying the type makes no sense, I'm saying the article doesn't communicate any value to people who aren't sold on the idea of monads before they go in. Like, if you're explaining functions to a newbie programmer, you don't just take a bunch of lines of code, replace them with `do_the_function()`, and act like you've made the program better. Obviously all those lines are still hiding in the function definition somewhere and your indirection has only increased complexity. You have to show that using functions to extract patterns from around the program improves elegance or expressiveness overall (e.g. by reducing total lines of code). I've never read a monad tutorial that does this in a way that (comparatively) simple higher-order functions wouldn't do just as well.

edit: to expand on that last sentence, the example under "Ad hoc solution: Promises" is more expressive to me than the author's monadic code, because a) it's more explicit about what depends on what, and b) the ".then" method name gives you a hint about what sort of computation is actually going on. Replacing "then" with "try" or "each" makes the code work just as well for the null-checking and for-loop examples.

Looks awsome! I'm not a ML guy and haven't read the paper, just watched the video - one thing isn't clear to me from it: is this fully automatic/unattended, you just throw images into it and out come magic rainbows of 3d structures? or do you need to somehow help it, e.g. to disentangle the structure from the "transient" elements? In other words, I don't really understand what does the "Appearance Embedding" even mean... Or is the "input" that you mention in the video fed into a model that is already trained on a set of photos of a particular scene? I.e. the "input" + "appearance embedding" basically encodes just a choice of a framing & "atmosphere/lighting"?
It matters if the effect size is dependent on temperature.
Yeah, that's one niche market (or not niche?). I don't know of any competitors. I am really interested about their customers and how much revenue they are pulling.
I don't think the conclusions are in error. It's reasonably well known among medical professionals that skin color affects pulse-ox readings. It is also true that sweaty hands or low iron levels will cause incorrect pulse-ox readings.

I'm also not suggesting we ignore skin color as a relevant factor. I'm taking issue with the idea that everything that involves skin color is evidence of bias or other more malicious underlying causes.

Right. I wasn't trying to imply that the oxymeter bias explained the entire difference in outcome rates. I'm just curious if it matters enough to warrant further study.
Because a crime scene might also have the DNA of innocent people.

Because public DNA information could be a source of prejudice mis-used by government, law enforcement, health services, employers, even family, friends, and potential spouses.

Because in all likelihood it would become another way to generate targeted advertising.

Maybe just vocabulary?. I searched sales, conversion, and pricing and found a bit of info on each. To me, these are all tactical components of the marketing strategy. So the subject focus content is appreciated. Maybe others are different in this regard, but I just would never think to search marketing as it’s so open ended.

Some feedback:

- A filter by location/remote would be helpful.

- Right clicking and opening in a new tab doesn't work. I have a feeling that is how many people earnestly looking for a job are going to navigate. Search the list, then analyze individual postings.

- Clicking on the modal background doesn't close the modal

Couple of questions:

- Are the firms at the top the only ones in the dataset, or just the notable ones people might want to filter on?

- Would be curious to hear more on how you're sourcing the job listings.

Overall, I thought it was well implemented and easy to navigate. Sent it to a friend looking for a job in VC. Nice work.

you are giving out information by bidding early. if everyone snipes at the last possible moment, you are right, winner pays the lowest they can. However, by bidding early, other competitors now have info on you and can adjust accordingly.

Opening disclaimer: I support for the 2nd amendment. Even as a liberal-leaning person, I live in countryside where wild animals are still encountered regularly in our neighborhood, plus other reasons.

With practice you can get a riffle under 2-3 seconds without weaving. But if 7 still seems too much, do less but do a running cut or overhand shuffle between two of the riffles, like riffle -> riffle -> running cut -> riffle -> offer to cut -> deal. I heard this is what casinos did in older times, and they do have a direct interest in not making the shuffling too long (less hands played) or too weak (can be abused).
