>You can always 'showdead' on your HN preferences.

I haven't been around here very long and recently figured out 'showdead' because I wanted to be able to see what folks were talking about -- especially when there were replies to such comments.

In fact, even if I'm skimming comments, I always read flagged/dead comments -- to make sure I hear all the voices. Even the ones I don't appreciate or even dislike (although that's not always the 'dead' ones)
if a news network with a 1B viewers only gave free airtime to one side, it would clearly be in violation of campaign finance laws, among others
One problem with closed source end-to-end encryption is the trust you have to put into the vendor. The encryption implementation may be excellent, but what's to stop them from adding a "upload private key" function for lawful interception, perhaps at a later time?

It's the same issue with WhatsApp. I hear rumors that law enforcement can access WhatsApp messages so i guess there must be a backdoor like this.

> You assume that the WHO and others have to be right all the time everytime.

If information is going to be censored based on what they say, they do have to be right all the time. And the point is, they aren't right all the time.
I feel sorry for you for getting downvoted, anyone with a basic understanding of accounting and tax should know this. Also the issue picked on in later comments, yes you absolutely can report different valuations to different entities, in the US, UK, and probably everywhere else too.

Tax accounting is completely different to accounting you show to a bank for a loan. This is normal because they are used for different things, and are accounting for different things. For example - the tax rate and taxes paid have a real impact on cashflows which would impact your eligibility for a loan. In tax returns taxes paid are not included in profit and loss, because that would lower the tax paid by businesses.

So yes, NYT was absolutely gaslighting.
I think it's pretty interesting but the hardware seems to be veery limited. It's like a light version of Arduino stuff.

I was misdiagnosed with ADD, because I had the audacity to speak to another student in class once. I was prescribed concerta for 8 years. It made me extremely anxious and nauseous, but they wouldn't listen to my pleas to stop. I ate about half of what the average kid ate at those ages, and my growth halted. I quickly fell into the very lowest percentile for growth. One day I skipped the meds and over-sprung-back from my usual meek self, was actually a distraction, and got myself a mild talking to that I actually deserved.

Now that I've graduated, I feel pretty worthless because I'm so underdeveloped and look so below my age, nobody would ever promote me to a position of responsibility.

Now for the really scary part: this is happening to apparently 15% of boys in school, despite the highest estimates from the APA being that, at maximum, 5% of children have ADD.

We're creating multiple generations of an extremely high proportion of men who were physically and mentally stunted in growth during their most crucial formative years. It's like all these parents who decided they didn't really want to try very hard with their kids and would medicate them into mediocrity and meekness.

This was so disappointing to watch happen. It was obvious (even at the time) that it was to keep people from hoarding masks so they were available for healthcare workers. Fauci, the Surgeon General, and everyone else should have refused to lie.

Now the damage is done, and more people distrust Science.
It is a perfect example of an over-engineering and a hostile design. Looks impressive on a mock up and from the air. But a terrible solution for pedestrians.

OptaPlanner supports continuous planning (see my latest video), which is the ability to use a "sliding planning window".

It also supports the use of java.time, which means it supports LocalDateTime, OffsetDateTime, ZonedDateTime, and all other time related functionality that deals with implementing the insane intricacies of time for you. For example: if a shift runs from you 2:00 UTC to 10:00 UTC and employees from different timezones can furfil it and Daylight Saving Time changes for one of those employee's regions, you can write a constraint to detect that and avoid assigning the DST-affected employee that night.
That reply seems eerily similar to their response to Tara Reid’s allegations - “we have no official record of that in our boxes of records that we looked through”

Yep.
The only thing that's lazy is imagining that all situations have obvious choices of what's right and wrong, and that people who don't agree with you are crazy, stupid, or bad people. What's much more likely is that you are highly ignorant to all the facts. Your "good conscience" would lead humanity into a hellish reality. Or was nazi germany an impossible "slippery slope"?
No, it's not disingenuous.

The surgeon general said in March that masks were not effective for the general public against Covid-19.

The CDC said on March 13, 2020 that there is really no evidence that wearing a mask will reduce your risk for any respiratory infection.

Water is practically incompressible.

If you wanted to compress the air 10x the atmosphere pressure, when it takes 10% of the normal volume, you would have to fill the tank with water for more than 90%.

Without water, you can compress air 10x and put 10x more of it into the same pressurized tank.
I've been in meetings where people have been upset ; our product only targets 1/2 the planet, how can we convince the other sex to wear/use it?

Some of my views will be controversial, and that's absolutely fine - I am quite happy that my views and opinions won't put me in jail, thanks to our constitution.

That said, with this freedom comes also the freedom of websites like youtube, HN, etc to NOT offer me a platform, if my views are opposed to said platform's morals.

There are plenty of alternative platforms that won't deplatform this stuff. Those platforms are free to band whatever they want as well. Or do you think the conservative platforms should allow anything to be posted as well?

I have a hard time believing they would recommend removing content they aren't sure about.

By the way, Youtube has been banning pornography basically since day one. No outcry about that. Counterpoint, would you accept removing content about abortion and gay marriage rights? If the answer is yes, it indicates that it is not free speech you are worried about.
Once your full C: volume is backed up to a WIM file it's not too bad even on bare metal. If you keep C: under about 20GB, the resulting WIM is about half that size and easy to deal with.

To deploy using a 30GB partition it only takes about 5 minutes to write zeros to the 30GB, another 5 minutes to quickformat and deploy the WIM file to the fresh partition (in naturally well-defragmented condition), then a judicious BCDBOOT command to make it boot from your present BOOT or EFI folder.
This is exactly why the Socket API in WinRT has Nagle off by default. The old way of dealing with sockets was to treat them like buffered files, or to drive them from a keyboard (so that Nagle is useful). But newer socket programs seem to just make a full chunk of information, and send it at once. Those newer programs either turn off Nagle, or would be improved if they did.

So we bit the bullet, and decided to make Nagle off by default.
I’m working with Espruino at the moment. Being able to access an embedded JS REPL over pretty much any protocol opens up all kinds of weird new programming experiences. I’ll leave what those might be to your imagination!
100%.

This is the case in online serials, and books, as well.

There is also an emotional investment factor that comes with long serials, as opposed to single seasons. The more time you put into something--even just in terms of watching it, or reading it--the more emotionally invested you become.

In other words, there is an addiction factor. The addiction factor does not kick in until at least a season 2 or 3.
Yes and no; there were plenty of quacks out there back when, but they could not reach as many people as quickly as today.

> That is not the job to be done. There are huge frictions and broken interfaces between roles: developers, engineers, data scientists, domain experts with everyone expecting the other to "just" do X.

The only friction I see with data analysis roles is that data analysts typically don't need (or even outright refuse) to do collaborative work where there are multiple people working on the same code and data.

Once we take the collaborative aspect out, and we see data analysts who never had to check out someone else's work to apply minor changes or have someone else apply minor changes to their own code, then we get to the same naive criticism directed at basic organizational practices and tools as we see here.
Silly job interview questions in Haskell
The advantage of a system as simple as compressed air, is that anyone with a minimal technical background and shop tools is able to maintain and minimally repair the compression system.

An electro-chemical hydrogen conversion and compression vessel would have far more points of failure with far greater technical barriers to repair. The access to specialized spares in a remote location would also be a major issue.

I am not saying it cannot become a player in energy storage to eliminate the need for coal and natural gas energy generation. But it seems unlikely that would be a good choice for remote 'off-grid' location.
Hi all, I am co-founder of Lookuq and want to explain a bit more about our idea.

There is a lot of apps to recognize some things. Popular example are PlantNet, PlantSnap for recognizing plants. They all have similar functionality, you take a picture of the object and then the app show you a list of objects it thinks what is it. Click on it, you can see more information about the object.

There are many things which visual identification is helpful, e.g. dog breed, animal, plant species, vintage watches, artworks, ...

Everyone is expert in something and may have a lot of images of the objects and information about it. They should be able to share this knowledge to other people.

With our Lookuq platform, it is super easy to create an object recognizer app without coding. All you need is photos of the objects and some information about the objects in tabular form (CSV, Excel format). Then you can upload it to our website, let the system automatically create and train the model to recognize the objects. After that just use our pre-made app (available on both iOS and Android) to recognize the objects and show related information to the objects.

I would love to know what you think about it?

Yes, so how about we speak to the boys like they are expected to become future men. Let's not drug boys into a coma because we don't want to deal with them. Let's not give them detention and suspension without someone actually having a 2-way conversation with them. And let's certainly not get angry at children for having more energy than ourselves.

If you think hard-handed penalties work, you never received enough education to show that genuine conversation works even better.

> a) 80% of the content on publications like TechCrunch [2] is all about Google/Apple/Tesla/Virgin. I challenge, you go there RIGHT NOW. COUNT the % of stories about FAANG companies.

For the lazy, I did just that, 19 stories under the "latest" Tag, 7 of which are about Google/Apple/Tesla/Virgin/Microsoft. So about 36%.
I’d report a bug I were you, then. It showed the correct flag for me (Czech Republic), but told me I’m in Portugal. Seems like the do know wwhere I am and just mess up the name.
Owning a few HP devices and using Linux, I’d be careful using “perfectly” in that context. It’s better than others, but for example scanning tends to fail sometimes when libraries get updated etc.

It's also important to remember that we've never had such a powerful, established and fully centralized media.

The official statement predicates the denial on their search for an official record of it. “Moreover, we have reviewed Joe Biden’s official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place.”

There’s an implicit dependency between these two clauses - we looked at the official schedule (there was no record, so,) no meeting took place.

Sentence construction in crisis management publications like this is poured over and very deliberate. Do not imagine this is just sloppy sentence construction.

The RC4 stream has biases. This means you have something like "bit X is slightly more likely to be 1 than 0".
This isn't "predictability" in a sense that you know what it'll be, but it's bad enough for certain applications. How much it matters probably depends how exactly you design your RNG, but it seems like playing with fire and is easily avoidable by using a cipher without that property.

We aren't completely starved yet of the bottom-up approach, but I agree that it's somewhat limited. We can explain choice and free will in bottom-up terms, which complements the article's explanations of memory and signaling.

In the classic video game "Link's Awakening" (chosen to fit the article's theme), there is a maze of signs. Each sign points towards another sign. Reading the signs in the order that they point to each other, following the chain of arrows, leads to a prize. The player is local and does not know where the prize is, but the signs encode global information about the maze. The player's memory is limited and can only remember one sign at a time, but that is sufficient. It seems to me that cells communicate and act using similar local/global distinctions.

> We reject a simplistic essentialism where humans have ‘real’ goals, and everything else has only metaphorical ‘as if’ goals.

This is the philosophical meat of the article, and the tough takeaway for the reader. The reader must admit that their own goals, since they are human, are not quite "real" in a way which somehow transcends the accidental success of blindly-evolving low-level components. Rather, humans do the same sort of predictive modeling, blind guessing, and lucky incidence that we see in "simpler" life forms.
Cosmote Hacked: Greece's Largest Mobile Network Operator Data Leak
Yes, but why cant companies stop doing business with these jerks just to keep everyone else happy? Or limit their speed of uploading or downloading or whatever limitation to the point it is not useable?

It is the same with Mobile plan's Unlimited Data. 20-30GB are fine. Carrier even put up with 100-200GB per month. Because that is the average Data used for Home Broadband. But when carrier said they stop providing services to said customers because they were using 500 or even 1000+GB per month you really cant feel sympathetic to those people.

Some argue why not just but an arbitrary number instead of unlimited. But consumer wants unlimited so they dont feel they are limited. I know that sounds stupid but it is the default consumer behaviour.
Joe Biden's response doesn't say "the calendar says the meeting didn't happen". His response says "the meeting didn't happen".
I see you’ve replied to quite a few of the comments in this thread, but I think the basis of the disagreement isn’t in the specifics, but because you’re using a stronger definition of “unpredictability” than they are.

You're right. My issue is that why did US health officials say masks were not effective against respiratory infections, when health officials from Asian countries had deemed them effective.

Why didn't we have the science? Respiratory infections aren't new. I remember debating people early in the outbreak about the use of masks and they were pointing out that there was little scientific evidence on the use of masks, especially non n-95.
I believe I'm using the same definition of unpredictability as the website. If other people are using other definitions that is indeed going to cause a lot of confusion.
Ask HN: What time of the day are you the most productive?
"Do the most important thing first thing in the morning and you'll never have an unproductive day," the advice goes.

But everyone has different prime hours (a great HN comment on why we all have an energy problem, not a time problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16074674).

What time of the day are you the most productive? Would love to hear your thoughts on how much you guys "actively" manage your prime times (and control your daily productivity). Working on a http://mailbrew.com feature that highlights managing "the ideal time of the day" people would "consciously" allow distractions but not sure whether enough people are aware of peak time management concept, never mind using it to receive daily digests. So hesitant whether to position such a concept a unique selling feature.
I think a big part of divide here is between people who agree with you and disagree. Some would hope in a good society that executives were interested in such things as accountability, transparency, ethics and the like.

But the laws are what they are and following those values will not only prevent your progress as an Exec but potentially end your career, when again, many would hope the opposite to be true.
