makes for interesting reading. Particularly the line: "some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment, regardless of the time spent in concentration camps". Although it's hard to say if that was the Germans or the Allies who were responsible. Perhaps both?

Covid-19: The global crisis – in data
I moved to fastmail earlier this year. Honestly, it took a full day of updating all my accounts on every site that used my email. It helps to have a password manager to keep track of progress.

Since then it's been pretty good. I keep my old gmail as an additional account on my email client to track things I've missed, but it's been surprisingly little.
Existence itself is subjective. Reality itself is objective, but anything we touch has a hint of subjectivity present, inherent to our existence. The true falsehood is that there is an objective reality that we can perceive.

Mussolini did the same thing, he knew very well guns were not going to opposition but to his supporters that used them to kill or oppress his opponents.

Elon Musk reveals initial failed C5-C6 neck spinal surgery, 2nd surgery success
I can think of a few reasons:

- 75% of Americans (incl. a majority of republicans) support mask mandates. (The US isn’t a direct democracy, but mask mandates have the green light from the general public). [https://apnews.com/article/ap-top-news-understanding-the-out...]

- One of the main functions of any government is to mitigate the harm that people do to one another. This is the main thing that distinguishes it from anarchy. Not wearing a mask in crowded places (in expectation) causes harm to others. Obviously there is a cost/benefit involved, so welding people into their homes is too extreme.

- There is effectively zero enforcement of these mandates. I’ve never seen cops or workers enforce these rules. On the other hand, if I walked into a grocery store without pants on, I’d bet my ass that I’d get swiftly carted off to the loony bin.

Cloud service that needs to serve multiple requests or process many video streams in parallel. (faster performance = less hardware required, bigger scale and potentially improve end user experience - save from their data being on the cloud of course).

On device (eg mobile phone) processing with battery usage that respects the user. Older hardware/models inclusion as well.

Of course the above aren't cases were the stream itself is 100+fps, but more of broader general benefits. For a 100+ fps stream.. well there are many things that go fast, imagine you wanted a robot that tracks or catches a fly before it takes off. Flies have a reaction time of 5ms (200fps), that's why it's hard for us to catch! Expand and apply the same concept to other things (that are fast, or happen very quickly) now...
Let's not be naive here - US comes to EU to buy tech companies with cheap cash...

EU should simply make the conditions of selling to US to be less favorable than growing it in EU. Heavy taxation on these aggressive takeovers, and tax benefits to continue to do business in EU, would be a great incentive.

I think you're well past that stage already. Plenty of people parrot the founders as though they had some kind of divine insight into what makes a good state, rather than to see political systems as subsequent attempts to learn from mistakes made in the past. It is very well possible that 'free speech' should be sacrosanct, but the US is doing a piss-poor job of showing that that is the case.

Political systems come and they go, so far the 'free speech' countries are not doing remarkably better than the countries with some limitations on free speech and it would be good to recognize this and to see what can be learned from each other rather than to put dogma first.

The things that prevent taxes from growing to 100% in a democracy are indeed wrecking the economy, causing the tax income to decrease and the risk of losing the next election.

You can argue that tax evasion is one way that may cause a decreasing tax income with the increasing tax rates but it's not the only factor.
>You just can't buy innovation. You have to set up the right environment for it

When US companies come to EU to buy companies, they are literally buying innovation.
They have every right to do it legally and you're right that the rules will probably change. People say "just go and make another platform" but Google literally tried and failed to make their own (Google+). If they cant do it who really can? Its not happening or it will take centuries/enormous resources to gain traction and compete. So we are left with an oligopoly that is censoring in lockstep and that's an issue for all sides because eventually its not them, its you, with time (amongst other issues). I think the platforms are a huge threat to democracy personally and I hope the new rules are meaningful and not just a knee jerk makeshift reaction.

This is really urgent if it goes beyond A/B. Possibly even illegal already under some interpretations. It'd finally make me leave Gmail for sure.
of course, the easiest way to resolve both issues is to have a timer, or hook it up to one of those body motion sensors. Once the person has gone to sleep, turn off the noise generators, allowing 1) the person to fall asleep, and 2) after the systems have turned off, to allow regeneration without noise.
That's not for me to answer, but for Apple I guess. Maybe someone who works there can shine a light on this. Speculation about the URL bit would probably center on Apple tending to put form over function. Promoting Apple News -> because it cost them a lot of money to get it in the first place and they are trying to recoup that money. Not that I would ever even look at it, I don't think a hardware manufacturer is the best place to get my news fix.

One has to wonder whether they intentionally obfuscate this list. It sounds like they “trained” a browser, and captured the resulting state. I’m sure you can argue this makes things more fair (we trained it using real world behavior!), but I really can’t give them the benefit of the doubt anymore.
I don't agree. It seems to me that many people will support it indefinitely - not out of excitement, certainly, but out of a feeling that we've just gotta do it if the government says it's the only option. Some parts of Australia have been locked down basically since the pandemic started.

Thank you for the kind feedback!

I absolutely agree. The hard problems are either organisational (how to communicate to analyst and have agreed work method with business?) as well as dealing with third party unreliable resources.

I feel like these things you can learn only through experience. No written resource can reliably transfer this knowledge.

I think data engineering especially is something that requires at least apprenticeship to get into. Both for juniors and for senior developers transferring to data engineering position.
I think part of it is also that one can leverage past platform/network effects too. Someone who has 5000 friends on facebook or 2000 twitter followers has a jump start over the one starting with less than 100.
I think past success builds up to the next success. Build a smallish audience for the first book, leverage that and build a larger one for the next if that makes sense.
> We know the Nazi option turned out very very bad. But it's possible a German/Soviet Stalinist block would have been even worse.

Say what you want about Soviet-caused famine, but they never shipped people in trains to gas chambers for the express purpose of exterminating them. Pretty contrived and callous to say that choosing the Nazis might have been the right choice.
What a totally disingenuous comment your own links acknowledge the nuances about differences in effectiveness between the types of masks and how you wear them.

To breakdown each of your sources.

1. It specifically notes the cloths masks are less effective and the cloth masks they tested were double layered and made from a water resistant material. It also discusses the need to wash them daily and not to take them off in a given sitting.

Where ever I am I seeing people violating these guidelines. Whether its grocery store workers pulling them down to catch a breath or people at restaurants taking them off and on to eat. Also I see tons of people wearing single layered non-water resistant fabrics. And how often are we all washing them? Probably not a lot.

2 & 4: Both focus on looking at observational data comparing places where masks wearing is prevalent versus places where it is not. It even looks at the same places after switching policies. But these are obviously confounded by a whole bunch of other factors. Maybe places that wear masks are better about physical distancing and washing their hands. I find it difficult to take much from this kind of evidence, but I understand why someone else would.

3. Similar to (1), but even harsher on cloth masks. Specifically notes the effectiveness of respirators, says medical masks were not effective and cloths masks were less effective (I don't know how you can be less effective than not effective). Here is the actual line.

"Randomised controlled trials in health care workers showed that respirators, if worn continually during a shift, were effective but not if worn intermittently. Medical masks were not effective, and cloth masks even less effective. When used by sick patients randomized controlled trials suggested protection of well contacts."

This is in no way equivalent to the arguments for climate change. And frankly thank god you aren't a public health expert because by comparing the two publicly you would be doing damage to the environmental movement.

Instead of just trying to make someone look dumb on internet why don't you actually engage in a good-faith argument that acknowledges the very real nuances.
Ask HN: State of the art architecture for paired comparison prediction?
I want to learn more about the domain of creating time series predictions for paired comparison outcomes, e.g. taking historical box scores and predicting future box scores.

One of the primary challenges is that such data includes both numeric features (e.g. box stats) and contextual labels (e.g. teams), making each observation both relative and coupled.

Perhaps the most natural representation of such data is a time-dependent graph, where the comparisons represent edges between two nodes (competitors). Unfortunately, this kind of graph structure appears to preclude naive applications of ANNs developed for tabular and sequence data (e.g. LSTMs, transformers, etc).

Does anyone know of any good references that demonstrate how to account for the graph structure of such problems? Is it a terrible idea to essentially one-hot encode the adjacency matrix and provide it as an input to an LSTM or Transformer architecture? Are there more efficient ways to encode paired comparisons?

I tried something like a neural network version of Elo with more features (i.e. RNN), but I suspect I was suffering from exploding/vanishing gradients since I was chaining the same hidden layer update step for thousands of games.

Any advice or direction here would be much appreciated!

Exactly. An all but confined Qualcomm X55 Modem, 5G patents, Same iPhone 11 Pro Max OLED ( although likely reduced normal brightness due to yield ), mmWave Antenna included in US version ( That was really a surprise ). Every single one of them cost more than reduction of Charger and Headphone cost.

It's to protect the privacy of the Gmail user - it means the website doesn't get to know that you came from gmail.com. Google doesn't get any extra info, since they already had all your email contents and you already had a privacy agreement with them.

One could argue that they have to do this to meet the law.
Sorry for us being skeptical of 140 character claims...

I don't see how that url means Google is doing this, when none of us have been able to verify. There could be 100 different things touching your email doing this.

I suspect it is here on HN (or the timing is a coincidence) because it was mentioned my mitchellh as a component of what is powering the Hashicorp Cloud offerings in a comment here mid-last week.
They are. They all contribute to available capital, data, legibility of employment arrangements (when you go fully remote, you've made considerable progress towards enabling automation of job roles by intermediating it, and it forces rearrangement of organizations to be digital-first), the value of AI, and so on. A world in which everyone works via a computer, and AI-heavy big tech organizations are the top predator is not a world which has delayed a Singularity!
They can also use this for phishing prevention. There are probably other ways to do it -- e.g. you could rewrite the url dynamically at read time if it's been detected as a phishing attack -- but using a redirector is likely simpler.

Tbh I'm struggling a little to understand what the threat model is here. You trust gmail to receive and handle your email. In the vast majority of cases, you're accessing the email through their web frontend, where they could easily detect hovers and clicks and log those with fair reliability, if they had nefarious ends in mind. But them using a redirector is a bridge too far? If you trust them to do the first two items, it seems a little far fetched to distrust the last.

"Big Fucking Meetings" is the clickbait. This is mostly word salad that doesn't seem to get to much of a point.

I groan inwardly whenever someone uses the expression "shared consciousness" in a business context. It inevitably means that someone is trying to find a way to make themselves look important without regard to the fact that their preventing everyone else from doing the work they were hired to do.

> If you don't mind me asking, is the money through the 'promoted' sections sustainable enough for a search engine?

Sustainable to cover the cost of the service? Absolutely, it will do that, but it is not scalable that it would support the needed revenue to be the next Google (or even DDG for that matter).

Committing to privacy and user-center features eliminates a lot of scalable monetization strategies, and I am completely OK with that. I started and continue to work on Runnaroo because I love trying to solve the problem of building a better alternative search engine option.

Also, thank you for the kind words!

It’s not either this or that. It’s simply that people really don’t care about privacy on the internet, apart from situations they have been taught to be careful (eg internet banking).

They simply don’t think about their internet browser, their privacy and Google, in the same way most people don’t care about how toilet paper is made. Sure you can make a strong case why something is bad, but in the end people just keep buying the same brand of toilet paper.
Totally agree.

We have to be skeptical about "these methods" which, to me, seem more like PR myth they are trapped in.

Like Buffett saying that:

- he never set appointments (he works in isolation? he never goes to the doctor? He now flies with private jets? Everything has an impact on everything?)

- you never "leave large sums to your children" (My wife who works in asset management for (very) high profiles always rolls her eyes when earing that, replying "of course, to optimize the taxes you always create structures of foundations, so that they do not technical "get" the money but indirectly own the structure managing it.).
I live in an old house with roommates that aren't on the same work / life schedule. They're considerate but moving around on old floors with thin walls makes noise. Keeping a box fan on when I go to sleep and leaving it on all night means that I can tune out the noise of them being normal humans before I fall asleep and when they wake up earlier than me.

Are there any solutions that can account for noise on a varied schedule?

For those who don't find it compelling enough to get to the end: this extremely vague message brought to you by <some other app that is better than all the rest>.
If they're rewriting emails that you send out, that allows them to also track what the recipients of the emails do, even non-gmail ones. And not every gmail user uses the webmail interface either -- many use standalone clients that wouldn't normally have this tracking.

Also, there is something very wrong when we're okay with Google rewriting parts of our emails. How long until they decide to start modifying other bits of our emails? Reading the contents of the email is one thing, modifying it from its original is a whole 'nother ball game.
I use it everyday, and actually Japanese to English is pretty good in Google translate. Japanese to French was abysmally bad a few years back, but now it became acceptable.

The opposite translations are not bad per-se, but the sentences are always non-natural because all the context and articles that are implicit in Japanese are kept.
