What sort of metrics are being used to evaluate fakespot's evaluations? I also think what fakespot does of providing a rating of ratings is a bit easier than actually addressing the larger problem. At some point wouldn't fakespots ratings also be prone to faking as well, surely there will be attacks and attempts at manipulation of that rating system too?

What threshold would be used to remove reviews, how would it be fair to different listings?

Removing fakes can have significant negatives too if you have too many false positives. So to say that amazon or twitter is failing in comparison to fakespot or independent researchers is a kind of an incomplete comparison without knowing fakespot's false positive rate.

I'm sure that having a deranged, nuclear-armed psycho who refuses to step down as dictator of America, who is up to his eyeballs in international crimes, and who is best friends with the Russian autocrat is going to cause Europe at least some slight unease.

It’s a wonderful video game to play a quick few minutes or hours!

It has mod support, excellent music, and is still an early-access labor of love by the developers with new things added often (I just discovered a ’Moon Stone’ for the first time which is a little moon with a gravitational field that you can throw and see how it affects the environment!)

Show HN: We made an open-source spreadsheet like interface for Firestore
Hi everyone! We've been working on this as a side project for a year called Firetable (https://www.firetable.io) that gives a spreadsheet like interface for accessing Firestore.

We ran into the problem of having to build internal portal for non-technical team members to access Firestore at Antler and explored a bunch of options but nothing cut it for us (tried to write about this journey and why we build it here: https://medium.com/@harinilabs/introducing-firetable-simplicity-of-spreadsheets-meets-the-power-of-firestore-e5e2ee7d9d0b). We also noticed that some of the startups in our portfolio (180+ investments) ran into the same issue. So we decided to built it as a side project and also open source it so others can use it as well.

I would love it if anyone who is using Firestore to give it a try! We hope this will help accelerate your product ship cycles especially if you are in small-to-medium sized teams with a combination of engineers and non-tech/operations users. We would love to hear from you.

Website: https://firetable.io

Repo: https://github.com/AntlerVC/firetable

Demo: https://try.firetable.io

PS: We recently added a CLI tool for simplifying the deployment to your own projects.

The problem with the imac pro repair is not that apple couldn't repair it, they're perfectly capable of doing so, it's that they refused to. Under right to repair Linus would have been able to purchase replacement parts and either repair it himself or get it repaired by someone professionally. You've given a perfect example of a case where right to repair is absolutely necessary.

There's plenty of devices that are still (with some effort) repairable. And there's plenty of consumers who take repairability into account when purchasing, like me and probably yourself after your experience with the A50. Also it's difficult, but the A50 is certainly repairable: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_A50

Yes, and remember that the enhancement needs to be net positive for both survival AND reproduction.

There are clear reproductive advantages to distraction. If your actions prioritize your own wellbeing (or the furthering of some cognitive task) over the instincts to eat, reproduce, and protect your children, your genetics will be at a disadvantage.

I find this quite funny because it's my first time hearing I was supposed to be thinking of Elixir as a Ruby thing. I actually learnt about it from a concurrent computing class and it was always an Erlang thing, and now I know it as the magic sauce behind Discord that I always want to try and never find a good reason to.
I'm not sure what to make of this paper. It isn't April 1st.

The paper posits the hypothesis that passing through the cometary tail can deposit extra terrestrial organisms on to the planet, some of which might be the source of emergent Coronavirus and Candida fungal diseases.
Amazon and Ebay facilitate fraud on both sides. Amazon, as with Ebay, automates customer complaints to the point of almost no due diligence. There are some very high profile schemes of fraud on the side of buyer where they either claim damages, lost packages, or return empty boxes that force sellers to send replacements or refunds.

Personally I've been able to ask for refunds on Amazon through a 5 minute chat dialogue for products that were months out of the return period (I felt it was in my case because the seller wouldn't honor warranty etc, but this ease of refund/return is abused rampantly on both Amazon and Ebay by buyers).
> What does Microsoft offer that Amazon can't here?

Anything to do with client device management, security, or attestation. Which matters a lot to the DoD.
> As for positive-sum, Shopify has provided that. By making it easier for entrepreneurs to start a online store, they’ve created another distribution channel for them beyond the Amazon status quo.

Is the expectation that this will end up creating more online business overall, or that Shopify will just end up taking some portion of Amazon's existing business?

The former is positive sum. The latter is not--whatever Shopify gains, Amazon loses.
FWIW iStat menus has been working flawlessly for me for months.
Last time I tried Elixir it had some rough edges where you had to use some other ugly-ass language (I think it was Erlang?) to do some things. I immediately stopped learning after that. It feels like before learning Elixir, you need to learn Erlang, and I was just too lazy. Kind of using Clojure. You don't NEED to, but knowing Java helps. A lot. You need to learn the ecosystem, standard library, etc. You don't just pull a banana, you pull the gorilla holding the banana.
The issue is that currently public discourse happens on semi-public spaces. (Eg. Facebook, reddit, YouTube.) All slightly different mediums, different rules, different communities (and meta-communities, and other aggregates and hierarchies and moderation/reporting systems).

And the owners of these places want to extract profit from these places, they on one hand like the money, but they reasonably must police their places. Virtually millions of people can shout at the same time at the same place. Bullying, doxxing, harassment, SWATing, spam, scam, porn, gore, really fucked up ideologies, racism/xenophobia, and whatnot are cropping up.

And it's clear that people are not really interested in going back to the typewriter and mailing letters to various publications.

This large scale "politicing" is likely truly unprecedented. Bored and angry people can comment, like, upvote, downvote whatever anyone wrote/posted/created/asked.

> Working in tech now is fraught with peril, especially if one says anything outside of the overton window.

That's "fake news" - because the base rate is low, even if there are clear examples of it. (Eg Google firing Damore who pointed out that Google's diversity group/effort is very inefficient because it's unscientific, so inadvertently exposed it as a simple PR effort.)
> No-one is going to buy a car or tractor that can't be repaired at all.

I respectfully disagree, most buyers don't consider repairability. Things just need to last a reasonable time given their initial cost and expectation for level of duty.

If a car could be made that was economically reliable for a 7 year warranty period plus another 3 years (10 years in total) without maintenance, yet be totally unrepairable at the end of its life, would consumers care? Not if it was cheap and had the right amount of cup holders.

I just had a Bosch electric hedger fail on me. I opened it up and discovered the bearings had been sitting in slots moulded into the plastic shell; one bearing had seized and spun causing the plastic to wear/break/melt making the unit unrepairable. I was surprised, since it was a Bosch, and expected better. I then realised I bought it over 15 years ago, and it had worked flawlessly without maintenance of any kind. Therefore the engineering was superb and totally fit for purpose.

UPDATE: I will add that farm tractors are different. These are capital equipment and have an economic life that could span decades.
My own S5 still works fine, almost six years later, and is going strong on its third battery.

I'm not looking forward to finding a replacement, since it seems like every newer phone drops one or more features that I care about.
yup, I recommend just learning erlang.
Similar techniques can be used to "see" through walls, floors & ceilings with low-cost WiFi.
But that's completely different than having a released version that we know will be available as MIT in X months.

It might mean you can start developing something based on the code and when it becomes MIT you can launch it and keep your additions to yourself. (Let's say in case of a server side thing.)

Inflation is low as measured by the CPI. Inflation in financial assets (higher PE ratios for stocks, lower yields on bonds, significantly increased real estate prices in attractive cities, etc) are significantly higher.

In my opinion, continued inflation in financial assets will / is already partly causing inequality. It's not good for society if the middle class has trouble buying houses or real estate - it tends to lead to a lot of anger and political polarization, as we've seen.
That link is really great, thanks! I was actually looking for a clear comparison between consistency definitions.

I did not realize that consistency and atomicity also are overloaded between databases and distributed systems. That certainly adds to the confusion! I must have missed it when reading the original article.

More real-world experience is also really valuable, and an application-first approach to handling distributed systems works really well. I guess my hope is that eventually the theory becomes robust, matching the real world enough so that we won't have the problems of mis-applied theorems. IMO the best theories are intuitive and help us expose holes we could not catch in the real world.
thank you thank you thank you!
This must be more dangerous disease transmission wise?
There is no good solution to this problem. Harold Thomas (an Indigenous Australian) designed this flag and asserts his moral rights over it. The Australian government designated it a national flag without consulting him. In the past there have been discussions about the government buying the rights to the flag, but have not proceeded. If Harold Thomas is the designer, he has the right to profit from his design as he sees fit - and the demands of extraordinarily rich companies like Google or the AFL demanding to use his design for free is disrespectful to all artists.

The Australian government thus has two choices:

A. Support Thomas's copyright claim, which allows him to lease those rights to private companies. If he wishes to sell to them for an agreed amount he can - but this hasn't happened in the past as the price is too high.

B. Reject his copyright claims, and take ownership of the flag on behalf of Indigenous Australian.

Under option A, Indigenous Australian's don't have the ability to use a flag they believe is "theirs". Under option B, the Government will be seen to be repeating history by ignoring indigenous rights to property (albeit intellectual property).

There is no easy solution, so people attack WAM clothing (who are just asserting their leased claims) because demanding that Harold Thomas give up his moral rights over the design is not an easy sell to people who are trying to respect Indigenous rights in general.
The 15" MacBook Pro went from a 50 watt-hour removable battery to a 77.5 watt-hour plastic bracket battery to a 99.5 watt-hour glued in battery (in a thinner chassis). Dell is putting an 86 watt-hour battery in their current XPS 15.

You may not like what Apple is getting out of gluing in their fragile batteries but I certainly appreciate getting as much battery that can be crammed into the laptop using any means necessary in lieu of having an easier time swapping the battery once every three years (which Apple will do for me for basically the cost of a new battery).
You are hilarious!
My mother's friend was told to give up her Facebook password for a job at the police station. She accepted the terms, for some reason. This was for an administrative-type job at a police station that did not involve police work or any kind.

So, yeah, it absolutely does happen and to different (sometimes frightening) degrees.
But if other members of your family submit their DNA with their real identities, then possibly you can then be identified like how they caught the Golden State Killer.
I read it as "They're just testing waters, they have no intentions for further expansion". I am sorry if I misread it. If I didn't, then I strongly believe that China wants to expand its terrorial powers to SCS, Taiwan, disputed areas on the Indian, Bhutanese, Nepalese and Vietnamese borders.
If you know your way around it, Keycloak is good. But it seems quite easy to get into some paint points. I was using it recently and accidentally sent something that wasn't valid JSON. Instead of a 400 return code with some kind of message you get a 500 and the server coughs up a giant stack trace.
mongolians are also atypically short for a population with a tradition of dairying, though — those with lactase persistence are among the tallest in the world thanks to the massive caloric surplus reducing environmental selection against height in times of scarcity

My thoughts after coding for 15 years now... I still can’t be bothered to learn emacs or vim. I’ve tried and it just never sticks. I remember fewer commands in vim than I knew 10 years ago.

I really like smart IDE’s like IntelliJ and pycharm. I’m doing a typescript project in VSCode and the refactoring and code understanding is just... not enough. I agree with James Gosling’s opinion of heavy IDE’s. They help me. I’m not out to prove any my manliness

Also, I feel like I do more reading code and debugging than writing nowadays, and I am not bothered by my speed at writing code.
People use their phones as social devices, maps, and cameras.

The probability of spilling a drink on them, being out in the rain, or dropping them in a puddle is pretty high. That probability goes up the more a person is outside.

I've never dropped my phone in a bucket of water, but it's definitely gotten absolutely soaked in my pockets when rain suddenly hit or when a faucet in a public bathroom had its pressure set too high and sprayed me like a hose. I've lost a few keyboards to drips of condensation from my cup falling on just a single key, and I'd hate to have my other electronics be that sensitive.
Yeah, elixir provides Registry which is what I use for simple state management or directly use ets.

Sorry, i'm glad the needs of everyone trying to make money off me and everyone adding to the worth of their shares comes before the consumers you're squeezing every fucking penny out of.

Yes...things looking sleek and shiny as opposed to functional and long lasting is exactly what marketers tell consumers they want so they waste more money lining shareholders' pockets.
A notion of duty to your country is well and good, but consider this:

1) Greater duty to family, what are you going to tell your wife when she asks you how is she meant to feed the kids and keep a roof while you serve a 20 year sentence for protesting? Or worse yet if you are maimed or killed.

2) This isn't like a 'normal' war, the course of action is not clear. Should I take up arms and attack government buildings, or would that backfire in terms of public support? Should I protest peacefully, or does that just give the dictator more time to prepare? If I already live outside, should I return to Belarus and put my body on the like, or would I be more effective donating cash that I am privileged to earn?

In 2020: Your idea that people should own their own computers because they’re critical tools isn't wrong, but it is elitist.

In 1515: Your idea that people learn to read isn't wrong, but it's elitist.

That we have not taught people the fundamentals of computer interaction is a failure of education. One that took centuries to solve for books and wasn't perfected until the 18th century. And only when people had stopped killing each other after finally reading the Bible and realizing that the information gatekeepers were lying to them for their own benefit.
Roughly speaking: smaller index size = greater performance.

The index also has to be read from disk (if not already in memory), which is faster the smaller it is. But also, once in memory, smaller size makes key-lookups or traversals faster.

How much faster? It really depends on your index.

Why is a comment that merely states the facts being downvoted?
I hadn't planned to watch the video. But with these quotes, I can't resist.

Fear of technology is a toxin all on its own. Gullibility and the alarmists' need to prey on it is the buffer agent.

EDIT: I just watched the video. That was stunning to say the least.

Luciferase isn't the scary thing she's talking about at all - it's HOW you see the results from a PCR test. She described Moderna's vaccine in scary terms that are actually how most vaccines are developed and how they usually work. Except for those nano-robots. Most people on HN probably already know about those, and realize their proposed use doesn't even make sense in this video. Just because the guy pioneered them doesn't mean he cooks them into all of his work. It does mean he understands DNA and RNA far better than she does. And then you have the Bill Gates Eugenics claim. Wow.

She pretty much described, in a very scrambled way, how PCR testing is done, and confused it with how vaccines are developed and work. I'm not convinced she's a real doctor.
So use views instead of materialized view. How much time/effort could be saved by simply making better queries? Are you sure that you are looking for or controlling for the right problems?
It's not just the salary. World tour level pro cyclists usually receive free room and board during the season. Even the domestiques get some appearance fees from sponsors. And they're given extra equipment at the end of the season which they can sell for cash. For a young guy without a lot of commitments it's a pretty good deal.
The folks here don’t represent the majority. Most people on hn don’t shop at Walmart Or dollar general either but somehow they do alright
