I see where you are coming from, but...I don't see how its the responsibility of a search engine to provide fair and unbiased access to the web's ability to answer your query.

Ex. speed test - Google's responsibility is to the customer who wants to most likely conduct a speed test. Displaying an in-result widget that does so completes the query that the user requires.

The line is certainly drawn if you searched "in-home IoT device" and Google showed its own Nest/Home products at the top even above ad space without paying for it, but the example you provided doesn't really break it for me.

Google doesn't prevent you from finding Ookla, doesn't bury it or delist it, doesn't stop you from going direct to the site... I don't see how that is going to hold up in court. There are competitors to Google that can offer a user a search experience that gives them lots of choice on how to answer their query, Google is just choosing (and customer's are probably responding to it as well) a better way to answer the query.

Posing this as a hypothetical argument, I'm open to being convinced otherwise.
Hey HN - any recommendations on wired earbuds with a good built in mic? I read the dislike for bluetooth earbuds, but i like how light they are.

> Mere mention of a fact like obesity differences in population doesn't imply personal responsibility.

If there is no personal responsibility whatsoever in obesity, then this statement is true.

> US has a market, culture, and educational system that's as much to blame as individual choices.

If this statement is true, then there is still some personal responsibility in obesity.

Both statements can not be true at the same time. Also, culture and education doesn't absolve anyone from personal responsibility.

Ah, you replied just as I did! I too share this sentiment that people are going to Google not to search for a plethora of websites, but for answers.

You can still certainly look at websites if you want and Google does not bury them or delist, but the widget is very useful and probably answers a high amount of the incoming queries.

Thanks! I just disabled external images in gmail after reading your comment.
No. It couldn't happen, because there would be no services to report a status.
This game has all the hallmarks of overhype and unachievable expectations. I'm really worried about it. There's a laundry list of features that have already been axed and people who have got their hands on builds this year have stated that some of the core mechanics like driving are really bad.

Sometimes game developers pour too much gasoline on the hype fire and it ends up backfiring spectacularly. No Man's Sky comes to mind, although in that case it was far more egregious (false statements by the CEO on the capabilities of the product).
What about click tracking from email? This is more reliable (server side) and a stronger signal of interest. Of course, you only track clickers and might have false positives if mail clients follow links for some reason but I doubt they do from the data I personally use (Mandrill click tracking). Also, there is a user action which makes tracking a bit less dirty, but still, not opt-in.
Pretty similar to my strategy. I buy 4 star items because compared to 5 star items, they're typically 80+% of the quality at 50% of the price.
On the topic of the Monty Hall problem, what helped me "believe" it more was if you change it to 1,000,000 doors, still with only 1 car, and the rest goats. You choose 1 door. The host then opens up 999,998 other doors, which all contain goats. So there are 2 doors left. Your door, and the only other door the host didn't open. Do you feel at a gut level that you should switch?
Same applies to other native GUI tools, like WPF/WinUI(UWP), Qt, Cocoa,...

The Rust semantics also seem to make it quite complex to just drag components around on a GUI designer, because the lifetimes become dynamic and just dropping a component in the middle of a form can have multiple lifetime meanings, depending on the surrounding context.
I work in the public sector of Denmark. I make around 20-25% less of my peers in similar private sector functions. I have a friend that I graduated with who’s hopped between a few public sector jobs and for him the number is 5-10%.

On the flip side, I work completely flexible hours. Never more than 37hours a week, and within those 37 hours I get a paid lunch break, so it’s really 34,5 hours a week. It brings flexible, I’ve sometimes had 70 hour weeks doing big transitions or elections (we do digitised voter signin, and there is a lot of preparation involved to make sure it doesn’t fuck up and that everyone knows what to do if it does). In Denmark everyone in stable jobs gets to take the first day of a child being sick off. I get three days. Every man gets 2 weeks of paid and guaranteed paternity leave, I get 13 weeks. I get two extra paid vacation days per child under 13 a year (up to 3 or 4 children, not sure about the limit). I get an extra week of paid vacation a year compared to the national standards. If I have to see a doctor or a dentist, I can do so on and count the time as working hours. And I get to work in an environment where people won’t bat an eye when you use these things, you obviously can’t abuse them without getting attention.

We have some of the lowest corruption in the world, and while our leaderships and management structure is archaic and IT is completely undervalued considering every one of our employees uses it at least 1 hour a day and about two thousand of them spend their entire day working with computers, it’s not terrible.

Like I said, the pay is lower than the private sector, but IT is paid well, so even though I could make more money outside the public sector, I still make more money a month than my mother who’s been a anaesthetic nurse for 39 years. The only professions who rank in more money than me outside of tech is things like doctors, lawyers and middlemanagers. So I think it’s fair enough. Obviously my boss has the same benefits as me and he makes around tripple of what I do, so it’s still better to be a manager in the public sector than an IT grunt.
I got a miele recently and it uses 1.2kwhr and 12L of water if it's completely packed or down to 6L of water if it's relatively clean dishes. over time I think it uses way less energy and water than manual washing would ever achieve.
Exceeding 10,000 ft. is orthogonal to needing anti-/de-ice systems. In fact, you're often less likely to need them at the higher altitudes because it is too cold for airframe icing to occur. Counterintuitively, if it is too cold, you no longer have icing problems.
IANAN but I think "waking up neural pathways" can be understood to mean making new synaptic connections, a process that is not instant and could potentially take a day if the existing connections were intact.
Argh, Python is moving too fast. 3.8 has barely settled in with the walrus operator.

For people doing docker based stuff with the latest and greatest always it might be OK, however, for enterprise environments where OS versions do not move as fast and you have runtime dependencies everywhere it isn't good.

We have to build C++ libs against python versions, have thousands of users having their workstation in a sane version of python globally where all dependencies (1k+ in-house/external packages) work well and etc. etc. (think CAD kind of software / Qt UIs)

We were still in the process of migrating towards python3.7 and it was a huge effort for barely any real gain. Hopefully new libraries do not use 3.8/3.9 only features otherwise we're in for a bad time..

> The problem with California's proposition system is that any modification to a proposition requires another direct-democracy vote to modify it in any way.

That's not entirely true. The norm is that amending either an initiative statute or a constitutional amendment requires a further referendum. However, in the case of initiative statutes, it is possible for the text of the initiative statute to grant the Legislature the power to amend the statute without a further referendum. Indeed, if you look at the text of 1986's Proposition 65, section 7 provides the California Legislature the right to amend the proposition without a further referendum, provided that (a) the amendment furthers the purpose of the proposition (as given in section 1) and (b) the amendment is passed by a two-thirds vote in each house. (It also requires the Governor's signature, but a two-thirds vote is a veto-proof majority anyway.) And, in actual fact, the California Legislature has used this power at least once, in 2003, to amend the Proposition 65 text without further public vote.

(If there was any controversy about whether an amendment, passed by two-thirds vote in each house, met the requirement to "further the purpose" of Proposition 65, that would be a matter for the Supreme Court of California to determine.)
Ask HN: Is there an easy mocking tool for OpenAPI 3.0 specs?
They certainly are going the right direction but manufacturers will always find a way to cheat. E.g. my Samsung washer (never again!) has an eco mode that runs 4 1/2h. No idea what it's doing during that time, but I guess it maximises on some criteria that are regulated. It would be absurd to prohibit other modes, so they exist and we use them fairly often as we just want to get laundry done...

On vacuum cleaners - i would hazard a guess that you are in the UK where this has been a major talking point e.g. during the brexit referendum. Truth is that there are plenty of studies showing that new vacuums are as good as old ones and just use less energy. Regulating vacuums was a huge success in that sense. Of course if you get a 40£ tesco vacuum they fared better before they were obliged to try and be efficient, but by a proper brand and you shouldn't notice any difference (except where the brand maybe decided to reduce cost e.g. Dyson has gone downhill for years and recently decided to move HQ to Singapore...).
You can buy a Speed Queen washing machine today, they're supposed to be comparable in quality to their commercial products. A front load washer will set you back about two grand though.
Well, this is the ArduinoCore on SAMD, which (unsurprisingly, since it's same chip) looks a lot like this tutorial.
> get paid about $50k per year as researchers

I quite agree with you that the current system is highly exploitative. But the problem runs deeper within the academia than with the visa system.

First, there isn't a market to begin with. Tech companies compete for the best engineers but universities do not need to compete for the best researchers. There are many more freshly minted PhDs every year than available postdoc jobs are in elite research institutions. Universities can pay them the bare minimum and still get to pick the best from a pile of applicants.

On the other hand, most research funding that a university lab or federal research lab relies upon comes from the federal government. As such, in many universities, the pay scale for postdocs is dictated by the funding agency that funds the research project. You probably wouldn't believe that in this tech bubble, there are researchers living on a 48k/y salary that barely pays the rent and necessities, Americans and foreigners alike. So why would anyone be willing to do this? Because there is no other way to land on a faculty job.

Does banning J1 and H1B visas help to address the glut of Ph.D. production and the problem with the way research is funded and evaluated? No. It would only turn those would-be Americans into would-be Canadians or Europeans.

It just works. I haven't experimented a lot with the built-in microphone because I have been in enough meetings that have been ruined by people using the built-in microphone. But I never heard any complaints about echos, and when I record myself using the speakerphone the audio quality is fine. I have also experiemented with background noise such as typing, and as I long I don't speak, I can't hear myself typing.

Eh, if I need to heat something, I'll use a heating element that's shaped and specified to do the job required, not something light-bulb shaped that only coincidentally gets hot.

Around here (Washington state), these 65W equivalent LED floods were subsidized to the tune of about $2 or $3 about five years ago: https://www.greenliteusa.com/DATA/DOCUMENTPDF/35_en.pdf At least I assume they're subsidized by the state; I don't see how they could be that cheap otherwise. They weren't giving them away, but I couldn't argue with the price.

I bought a couple dozen, and out of the half-dozen I installed at the time and another half-dozen I've installed since, none have failed. I can tell they aren't incandescent by aiming an IR camera at them, or by watching the phosphor decay after turning them off at night, but that's about it.

"Coral reefs are incredibly tough, resilient ecosystems"

Well, it's very sad to see how badly reefs are fairing. Almost everywhere we go they look terrible. The bleaching is incredible - wreaking havoc on entire reef systems.

Most recently, we went to the Bahamas, a gorgeous place that should be teaming with fish. Very few people fishing - and so few fish we couldn't help but wonder if they'd long since been fished out.

And what are the local fishermen thinking? The same pattern seems to repeat all over the world. They just keep going until the fisheries collapse and they are left with nothing.

Unfortunately, most people can't see the problem. If more could, there might be more support to do something about it.
Firetable, not Airtable
In single-core/early dualcore times on then contemporary PC-hardware, I had the opportunity to compare OpenBSD vs. NetBSD vs. FreeBSD. Though I didn't use them 'shrink-wrapped', but rather like one would do 'Linux from Scratch', or at least a very riced Gentoo :)

Anyways, my hardware was supported perfectly on all of them, so no problems there. This way FreeBSD was only slightly faster than NetBSD, and i could have 132x60 textmode on its console, which didn't work at the time for NetBSD, and many, many ports of software. But I didn't need them all, and it felt a little more bloated. Since my goal was full desktop with KDE3 I didn't care much about textmode and went with NetBSD.

It flew, rock-solid, unkaputtbar!

While OpenBSD, at the times with the parts of KDE3 which were available for it had unexplainable periodic hiccups, not only during load, but light desktop use when no swap was in use at all!

That felt very weird, and after a few months I discarded it, since other users and developers/contributors of it which I've spoken to in person(sometimes looking at me like I'd be an alien from outer space for using it as desktop) didn't have more to offer than right tool for the job, yadda yadda...

Since then I'm following its progress from afar, only mildly interested. PF and ACKPRI were nice, but at least ACKPRI could be had by other means elsewhere, or some appliance.

So... right tool for the job, I guess?

edit: the hiccups didn't only happen while in X/KDE. Also when no Xserver at all was running, just doing things on the console, also while no swap was in use.

2nd edit: I pivoted to Arch from there, which in direct comparison to the riced NetBSD flew hypersonic, but wasn't as unkaputtbar (though only slightly less so), but saved much compile time :)

Wow, strong disagree. Once you develop intuition, probability is really quite intuitive. This kind of course should be working to develop this intuition — like the conditional probability examples and the CLT examples. The computational examples inline really help here.

The Monte Hall problem is more of a curiosity than a fundamental principle!

(Was a TA in undergrad engineering probability for 2 years, saw my share of learners.)
I’d rather management delay again than go against their word and order a crunch.

Especially because I will not be surprised if — and am almost expecting thar — management realizes 6 day workweeks won’t cut it alone and additionally delay the release again. And who wins in that scenario?

Clearly they need more time. The game will only be worse off from rushing it — on top of the larger point that all of their talent (and customers) were lied to.

To be fair what is being ordered is a 48 hour work week. They’re not allowed to work more than 8 hours a day, six days a week, and it’s (I believe) legally time-limited. It’s a stretch to say they should be “pilloried” for this, since their “crunch time” doesn’t sound anything like what American companies impose.
