>My opinion on the matter is that, in the islamic world, religious careers are more socially rewarding than scientific ones. Thus the best minds seeking a good social position go the religious studies instead. The idea of science is also not really important to a lot of muslims, who views their holy book as a revelation that explained the world already.

I do really doubt it.
Anonymize Profile Comments in HN?
Hi!

I am searching for a suggestions how to anonymize HN comment history. Delete user and start again regularly?

In perfect world there would be option to detach user from comments and make them orphans.

In reddit, I do regularly go back and remove comments older than month.

I think everyone has their own threshold on privacy.
Lost all credibility to me when they gave it to Obama despite him not doing anything.

>API documentation is certainly copyrightable, even text definition file. A lot of creative process goes to putting braces, spaces, commas, naming

Yes but it is useless. You can e.g. copyright an electronics schematic. People aren't allowed to copy it and sell it but they can build the device that is being described by the schematic and then they can create their own schematic based on the device they have created. That's why we have patents.
Propaganda and indoctrination make it hard to believe what your eyes see. It takes years to believe your own eyes, so it’s no surprise that most people would dismiss to them unverifiable accounts that differed from what they heard daily.
That's an i5. When Cloudflare talked about the issue, they were using high performance Xeons.
I believe he is saying, and I would tend to agree, that it does not matter if Google literally copy/pasted the Java header files or if they had merely copied the API (ie. the same structure, sequence and organization) in a different language; for example by creating a Go package having exactly the same package structure and providing the same functions as the Java standard library.

In both cases, they would have "copied" the API and both seem to me to be exactly the same case as in Baker/Selden.

I'm from a Muslim country and now living in the West: and I can say that this is incorrect. Generally speaking where I am from, the best minds go to medicine, the next best to engineering and law, and the leftovers go to the military / religious study.

The failure of those best minds to produce results is an artifact of non-reason based education (in my country there was a huge emphasis on rote learning) and a lack of institutional support.

My friends in the West from other Muslim countries have corroborated this. It's always the bottom tier of students or the particularly devout that end up in the clergy.
In this case "most common software" meant proprietary and nonportable operating systems and applications.
Would you buy a server that will run the software you want to use either never (Windows and Windows applications developed on Windows) or maybe, eventually, as long as the new platform is a success (only slightly more portable proprietary Unix variants)?
Well, the original radio series upon which the first two books were very closely based, to be pedantic!
Well, yes, but also, the arguments are much shorter when we're honest.

Apple is an overpriced fashion company. Ten words or less, end of fucking argument, nothing more should have ever been considered. The entire rest of the thread brings no useful details or counterarguments. If you want practical hardware, buy it from literally any other vendor for a substantial discount and possible improvement in quality.

Okay, that was rough and brutal. I don't know if we can have discussions that are so honest! Let's go back to whining about Finder.
If you clicked to the comments and are debating reading more... here's a passage from the above link:

Not OP, but Matt Levine "wrote about me" [0]. I made a Matt Levine insider trading game [1]. It was inspired by a Matt Levine article [2] where he mentioned how some professional traders had access to early earnings but even with that data, they were still highly inconsistent in their trade performance. The point was stock prices are notoriously difficult to predict even with early earnings.

So I made this app where you get early earnings and a graph of prior stock prices and you try to guess one of two paths (they were inverse of each other). Even with all of those myself (and Matt Levine) were correct about 50% of the time.

I emailed him and he actually told me he was worse than 50% , which seems like a good thing because then you could just do opposite of your initial guess and have a profitable strategy. He was very nice in his correspondence, although he didn't give me a heads up saying he was going to blast it out. It's a static site [3] so it wasn't a problem, nor do I really care too much. But it gave me the ultimate flex when another super-fan at work spotted it and spammed it out.

The only way the media is making Trump look divisive is by reporting his words.

He has called fascists good people. He has called Mexican immigrants rapists. He has called other countries shitholes. He has recognized the illegal move by Israel to have Jerusalem as their capital (one of the only countries in the world to do so!). He refuses to endorse BLM, one of the largest popular movements in decades, and has sent armed forces to crash peaceful protests. He has escalated deportations even more. He has continued and increased Obama's assassination programs in the middle east, even assassinating a high foreign dignitary on another country's soil. He has repeatedly downplayed and refused to manage the greatest medical and economic emergency in almost 100 years, with consequences that will be visible for the next 20 years.

TL;DR: You can't reconstruct a generic video stream from a dozen detected facial data points.

Not sure if I understood your post correctly, but you're slightly misled here.

Watch the video. This is not a new general purpose video codec, it is basically Deep Fake - taking a still image (key frame) and superimposing detected facial expression/movement on this key frame (leaving out some technical details).

This is an improvement over (not-anymore-)state-of-the-art h264 since transmission of only a few coordinates mapping your facial expression is significantly less data to transmit then a delta of arbitrary video and periodic keyframes (again generously leaving out important technical details of modern video codecs). Trying to reconstruct a moving car/background/etc. from these facial expression key points will lead nowhere.

Yes - for someone living in a big city half office, half WFH is the worst of everything. It means that I have to maintain an expensive home office, don't get all the benefits of working in an office with other people (which I prefer) and I can't move out of the big city.
Trump is far more deserving. He has been far more anti-war than Obama.
This is perceptible to some degree, but in my opinion a highly practical way of applying this technology is to intentionally lower/shift the quality on the fly just a bit so as to "blend" the layer boundaries where the stitching happens.

That way the doctoring isn't apparent, you still benefit from the massive bandwidth savings (which I consider most important anyway), and it appears more believable in the real-world context of variable bitrates.
Remote work is possible, but it’s not for everyone. Some people are good at it; they adapt well and remain productive. But... as Marissa Meier found out, some people are utterly bad at it, or some take advantage of the privilege of self management and milk the system. So they will have to measure and gauge to see the balance of benefits and detriments of permanent change.
> white supremacist

This term is being so over used that it's essentially meaningless. Calling everything white supremacist actually hurts whatever cause you think you are fighting.
Do you know where the words algorithm, algebra, arithmetic come from?

"Born into a Persian family in Khuwarizm (present-day Xorazm Province, Uzbekistan), Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (also known by the Latin form of his name, Algoritmi, circa 780–850 AD, 164–236 AH) was a Muslim mathematician, astronomer, and geographer, and a scholar in the famed House of Wisdom in Baghdad. Al-Khwarazmi wrote Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabala (The compendious book on calculation by completion and balancing) around 830 AD, with the encouragement of Caliph Al-Maamoun, the reigning Abbasid caliph of Baghdad in 813–33 AD. It is meant to be a useful work, with examples and applications for everyday life, in areas such as trade, legal inheritance, and surveying. The mathematical term algebra is derived from al-jabr, one of the two operations he used to solve quadratic equations. Also, the words algorism, algorithm, and arithmetic stem from Algoritmi. Similarly, his name is the origin of the Spanish term guarismo and of the Portuguese algarismo, both meaning digit."

The practices/processes need to embrace a "fully remote" model. That doesn't mean you can't have a physical office. I've been part of companies where this works very well.

That being said, yes, you usually don't want to be the special remote snowflake in the middle of a strong on-site culture.
> "We will turn to this question later, but it is important to keep in mind that the decline of scientific activity is the rule, not the exception, of civilizations. While it is commonplace to assume that the scientific revolution and the progress of technology were inevitable, in fact the West is the single sustained success story out of many civilizations with periods of scientific flourishing. Like the Muslims, the ancient Chinese and Indian civilizations, both of which were at one time far more advanced than the West, did not produce the scientific revolution."

.. so far, so good. There's always the risk that the West might internally reject the scientific revolution. This paragraph is a useful reminder that historical "progress" isn't linear or monotonic.

This article is very good on the background in the era of the Caliphate and early scientific progress in medieval Europe. Where it falls down is the past century. We can draw comparison with the Meiji restoration; Japan went from insular agrarianism to a world power to collapse to continued scientific development through to the 21st century. As did much of the Far East. Why not the Middle east?

Anyway, excellent longread.
This is actually mentioned in the article.

but what about sources?
I went from a DXRacer to an Aeron. The DXRacers are actually pretty comfortable for long term sitting and the lumbar support pillow was helpful for my back. However, since the switch my back has been much more comfortable sitting for longer periods of time now. I do miss the ability to lie my head back though.
I don't feel like it needs to be one or the other, missing out on things doesn't bother me
Riots and vandalism in Portland weren’t organized? That’s a strange conclusion for a story (one of several) about men arrested for setting fire to forests. Given there has been no trials for the people arrested in the story, I don’t know where this proof is you’re talking about which refutes whatever point you’re saying I have.
That’s such a wired to response to seemingly true facts. Do you mean to say that the author is wrong?

If so, I would love to know what’s incorrect.

health insurance is my big wish. 20 hrs/wk with health insurance I'd work for 1/3rd my salary.

EDIT: I have a family like most people.

EDIT2: I'm thinking about how insurance isn't as expensive as giving up more than that in salary, but maybe I need the security of steady work on the resume, sick leave and a job to lean on if things get tough.
That's a ridiculous amount of hair splitting. The normalization of diplomatic relations between Israel and major powers in the Middle East is a huge win for anyone who cares about peace.

It's astounding to me that people hate Trump so much that they refuse to recognize the historicity of this moment. We're seeing a fundamental change in the dynamics of a conflict that has been ongoing for generations, and there's no denying that a huge impetus for that change has been a rethinking of how to solve the problem by the Trump administration.
I agree - "new material" is actually a concern in the context of a text book. I feel that synthesizing and presenting a coherent view of the communities best practice is a very valuable thing.

I think (but am very open to correction) that this is now a very hard thing for academics to do - the incentive for writing a text book is very low because they are not esteemed or counted as research? Writing a book like this is very hard.

An SPA, if properly designed, can help interactive use significantly though, compared to full page reloads. You may pay for the reduction in interactive latency with an upfront loading cost, but when comparing to desktop applications that is often not too bad anyway (Excel doesn't load immediately on most PCs, games of any modern design generally don't either). People are more willing to wait a second or few initially than they are to wait half a second when getting more data from an app that they consider to already be loaded.

The problem is that many are not properly designed. In fact often the patten is often used when it is not really appropriate and a fairly static site would (again with that caveat: if properly designed) be much more efficient and just as user-friendly.

Is there any evidence showing that Meier's drastic move actually improved Yahoo's results?

Also, do you think someone dishonest enough to take advantage of a remote position to spend their time working on their own startup would be a great asset on-site?

I'm not saying remote work is for everyone, far from it, but there is a difference between comparing someone that is not as productive when WFH, and someone who milks the practice illegally.
Seems like its conditioned on management always being in the office- something which might decline over time.

I really wish this project, or other object storage systems modelled after haystack, would get more traction. I think it is reasonable to expect that your object storage system should support both small objects (< 10k) and large objects (> 1MB) transparently, but in my experience none of the heavily used open-source object stores (ceph, swift) can actually support small objects adequately.
