You're missing the point.

The solution here is faster than the absolute naive solution of finding all distances, but it is both slower and less readable than integer math grid conversion..

I could see why you would make the choice of the naive, slow solution. I could see why you would choose the fast, integer math grid conversion one. But I don't see why you would choose something slower than the optimum solution that is also much, much less readable.

That is, the naive solution and the integer math solution are Pareto-optimal choices... and this abomination ain't.

I think the part of that sentence you conveniently left out of the quote is the most critical.

> The distinction here is that Google employees are not legally banned from speaking as a private citizen about the company they work for. They just won't be employees of Google for much longer after Google finds out.

A distinction without a difference, the intended effect is still the same: discouraging people from speaking out.

> I don't like that any more than you do. Corporations have far too much power in the US, and way more control over the lives of ordinary citizens than they should. But, there's nothing against the rules here.

I'm on pantoprazole now. (The Mucinex is also current.) I just hadn't listed it due to classing it with omeprazole.

The ranitidine, omeprazole, and pantoprazole are all intended to treat pain[1] from heartburn, and they've all worked at first and gradually lost effectiveness. (While still being mostly effective, just not totally effective.)

However, going without heartburn pain for weeks at a time has not helped my throat. When this didn't work, the gastroenterologist put a sensor down my throat for a day to record pH levels, and reported the results to me with "good news! You don't have heartburn!"

Of course, I do have heartburn. The response to "in that case, what does it mean that I have this burning chest pain after eating which is immediately relieved by tums?" was "well, some people are more sensitive to acid than others".

(I have many classic symptoms of acid reflux, including minor regurgitation of food after eating, "globus sensation" (feeling of a ball in the throat) when swallowing, and of course burning pain in the chest.)

But I continue the heartburn medication anyway, because heartburn hurts and I independently want to avoid it. :/

[1] Actually, they're intended to suppress the acid itself, not the pain you feel from exposure to it.

I wonder if the kids studied were more from higher socio-economic strata than the median. The methodology section of the appendix to the study linked[0] by the Atlantic article is vague on socio-economic status.

Since many of those who are on the high end have had significantly less disruption than those on the lower end. If the sample was skewed toward the higher end of the spectrum, perhaps that could account for the results.

I do not feel comfortable about this.

From my point of view the proper way to solve this is to educate people and build up "media competence".

Who defines what a harmful video is? Such classification is always influenced by current trends, social norms and so on.
What might be harmful to a child might be not even worth a shrug to an adult. What is fact today, might be laughable tomorrow and heresy the day after. Have fun navigating this.

If you think that youtube guides people on downward spirals towards extremism and is not willing to acknowledge or change it - talk to your kids and peers about it. Repeat this until they are able to decide for themselves.

But pushing some information (sort of propaganda) and hiding some information (sort of censorship) both lead down a dangerous path.

Donating to politicians only has an effect to the extent that some voters insist on voting for the most well-funded politicians. They are the real problem because they are the ones actually deciding who gets into government. You should vote against all high donation-receiving politicians to help cancel out those soul-hurting votes.

Unfortunately, most of the people who complain about this stuff don't actually care enough to vote against it, and they become part of the problem themselves.

I put "Arabic or Persian" because which Google says depends on what parts of that section of the PDF I copy/paste to Google.

My guess as to why there are two Spanish sections is that one is Spain Spanish and one is Latin America Spanish. Those are different enough to some language course, such as Rosetta Stone, offer them as separate courses.

There are also two French sections. I assume one is France French. Has French spoken in any major place outside French changed enough to justify its own section, like the Spain/Latin America thing? Maybe Quebec?

> The president's medical report got banned, probably because it was good news. It was dry, factual, scientific.

Which services banned Trump's recent medical report? I would have assumed "Twitter blocks Trump medical record release" had been in the news and cannot find a single story about it. There was this tweet from Trump (not his doctor) that got flagged as containing COVID-19 misinformation, but was not deleted[1]:

> A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (immune), and can’t give it. Very nice to know!!!

There's a good reason Twitter flagged this: Trump is full of crap and idiotic tweets like this will literally get people killed. COVID-19 recovery definitely does not provide immunity to reinfection.

Tell HN: Feedback – don't let new accounts post in flamebait threads
There's 2 or 3 big-tech threads on the front page right now that have devolved into flamewars.

As with others I have been suffering from frequent attacks of insomnia over my life, while anecdotal I have found my stack that has been working for me for the past 4 months.

- Supplement L-Tryptophan

- 350 mg Magnesium Carbonate before bed

- 3 mg melatonin (bioavailability is claimed to be between 10~15% - was on 10 mg but I found I was waking up too frequently)

- Timed air con.

If I do wake up, I immediately meditate.

Password validator based on raw cryptographic entropy, not arbitrary rules
Correct. US progressives and the major tech services recently argued that it should be treated as a utility, because of precisely this sort of problem, and they were opposed by US conservatives and ISPs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality#United_States I'd say it's ironic, but it isn't really if you look at what the progressive and conservative movements and "big tech" have really been advocating for (which is off-topic for this site).
Yeah, it would be just as well if no other browser bothers implementing this at all. It's additional complexity for zero benefit.
My current developer experience:

1. after code review etc. a change is merged to master
2. the CI tests are automatically run
3. IFF the tests pass the change is auto-deployed to staging
4. promoting a deploy to production is a push-button or a CLI command
5. adding 3rd party services such as New Relic / DataDog / Papertrail / Bugsnag is a push button or single CLI command
6. even things like upgrading to a new version of Postgres is distilled down to a few CLI commands

I think Heroku is not alone in providing this level of ease, but that's what I've been using.

I would argue that there is not a "gap" but there is actually "a thing that you can totally have if you're willing to pay more money and give up some customization or control," which makes it roughly analogous to the iPhone.

Flagging something as misinformation is not "banning." And Trump claiming he's "immune" has nothing to do with the report in question.

>Most people calling "disinformation" are trying to convince you that you should not be able to watch something.

I know it's been an insane 4 years, but, for Trump, this isn't true. He said, in his first year, he wanted to stated to take NBC off the air[1]. It's a message that he's been saying since before he took office. Understandably, taking a billion dollar corporation off the air is a lot more difficult than wiping an anonymous poster online, but to imply that "Fake News" is entirely just criticism is just complete ignorance of what the man has been saying for years.

>I'm not taking the side of Trump or anyone at all by saying that criticism is different than censorship, that's just a fact. Your argument is not in good faith if bringing that up to you is considered an implicit support for Trump, or anyone really.

If someone says the only people screaming for censorship are firmly on the left, how am I supposed to argue that point without focusing on Trump?

I'm not bringing this up because I want you to vote Biden or not vote for Trump, but to dispel this notion that "censorship" is exclusively some far left/right tool of oppression. My personal view is that these platform should do whatever they want, just like how HN mods run Hn the way they feel, and no private platform is "obliged" to give you a platform no matter how large they are. Regardless the _government_ should be limited in power to tell private companies in what they should and should not publish. To this day, there has been no _US government_ pressure to "censor" legal political posts - it's been entirely private actors who have taken censorship action. However to suggest that one side is 100% free speech and the other side are coming to take your "free speech" is misrepresenting what both sides.

Hey team, author here:

I agree with the statement that composition won't make the code unreliable.

When I wrote mistake, the kind of mistake I was referring too was a mistake in abstraction boundaries, rather than execution. (for an extreme case consider a DSL: if you abstract a DSL from only one example, you'd likely get the core abstractions wrong)
For sure.

I guess the new definition is "somebody can technically purchase for this price, even if it is 1 out of a million, and requires a blood sacrifice".

I am not a marketer, but I assume that is the definition they are using.
Speaking personally: I downvoted them because the thing about blocking Trump's medical report is just not true.

FYI: "getting downvoted on HN because my comment is spreading false rumors" is not an example of censorship.
"COVID-19 recovery definitely does not provide immunity to reinfection."

If the above is true, then there is no hope for a vaccine.

Absolutely agree, but I don't think this is the tipping point yet. An important line was crossed, but it will probably take a bit more before there is enough political capital to do something.

On the other hand, if the party benefiting from this move gets into power, that might be enough to stop any change from happening.
Who knew YT was the place to develop scientific consensus.
Sure. I'm happy to share individually, but I don't really want to post them on a public board. My email's in my profile if you want.
Here's the problem. A fact can be stated in a variety of different ways with different implications. A fact is also a fairly confined data point, and excludes any extrapolation, modeling, hypothesis, root cause analysis or policy prescription. Pretty much nothing worthy of discussion is a fact.

Debating facts is pointless. People debate opinions, interpretations, implications. You cannot declare an implication from a fact as itself a fact. Nor can you claim people disagreeing with an implication are lying about facts.

As an aside - right wing platforms as you put it generally include a variety of popular proposals with the lower and middle class. These include immigration protectionism, lowering consumption taxes like gas taxes, taking a conservative stance on societally expensive government policies, and lowering unemployment rate through encouraging business growth. You may not agree with these policies, but to claim they are disinformation and thus not worthy of consideration is blatant biased censorship.
If you have an investment account with a bank call them and ask for a reference. It won't work if you just have a checking account but most places like a local Scottrade or similar can give you a referral to a proper Tax Accounting firm.

Outside of that, call a few tax accountants and interview them. To be fair this isn't that rare or complex of a situation or problem and most tax accountantants will be totally fine. Just avoid places like HR block on the corner as those aren't going to be much help.
It was actually a fairly bipartisan term used to identify trivially disprovable stories.

The right wing tended to be more political ("Obama is a muslim communist who wants your guns") while left wing fake news tended to lean more towards new age, non-evidence-based "wellness" ("this juice cleanse will prevent cancer").

Trump, in what was quite frankly the smartest political move he's ever made, turned it on it's head and basically started using it to discredit actual stories that painted him in a bad light (inauguration numbers, etc).
how does one go about that?
Ask HN: What do you use your vanity domain for?

- Resume
- Links to past project or code repos
- Personal Blog

Anyone have any other good things they use their vanity domain for?
