If we nudge an idea into a babies head, this would seem to make the choice a bit less random.

Say we play a video of another child paying on a scooter. Then we put the scooter near the child. Will the child be more likely to copy what they have seen in the video?

The written English language is an odd one. It's technically not at all standardized, or if so by some private non-officially or only locally recognized institutions. Unlike other languages, say French and German, that are strictly maintained and rules set by an official institution that may even be cross-border (Germany-Austria). These haven't been shy to institute bigger changes just to make the written language more coherent.

Really this just shows how the British empire managed to spread it's word (literally) but not manage to manage it properly. We now have a litany of different English language versions, which is interesting from a cultural perspective but entirely contradicts what a language is made for: communicating.

We really ought to start officially standardizing the English language and untangling the current written mess. That way we'd make 10% of English speaker's lives much better...
This is the other side of the open-source coin in my opinion. The freedom to fork and do your own thing is great when you're fighting The Man (somehow) but it seems different when The Man does it to you or one of your projects.

I personally am of the opinion that AWS doesn't own the author anything, even acknowledgement.
> Firstly Microsoft monopoly got thrown out because of unethical behavior of the judge

No, it didn't.

The remedy (not the finding of monopoly and abuse of that monopoly) got sent back by a higher court for new proceedings, and then due to a change in Administration to one friendlier to (and, coincidentally, heavily supported by) Microsoft, the government stopped seeking breakup as a remedy while the new proceedings were pending, and a far weaker remedy was mutually negotiated as a settlement.
This reminds me of "Mr. & Mrs. Everywhere" from the book "Stands on Zanzibar" written by John Brunner in 1968.

No one knows if they were hacked or not, that is the problem. But the cover story is so flimsy caution is warranted in this case. If it turns out the flimsy cover story was true, and if the NY Post removes PII from their story, then twitter will lift the ban. It is not that complicated.

RE: Tax, the NY Times, which has a long history of credible investigative journalism, has stated that their source had legal access to the documents. They were not obtained by their source via a hack. The source most likely did not have permission to share the documents, but the practice of using anonymous, credible sources has a long history in journalism and is widely accepted as ethical. And the practice of laundering RSU disinformation is generally looked down on. And the NY Post has failed to prove that they aren't laundering RSU disinformation.
He’s basically suggesting the exact opposite of the social media news feed, which we’ve proved to be hazardous.
How to assess an early-stage startup
>Food, crop and patents on life in general are pure evil. That'a the ultimate in consumer culture right there.

Is there a reason why it's any more evil than patents on machinery or other industrial processes? Is it just because "life is sacred"? It's only plants and livestock. I'd be much more concerned if it extended to humans, but we're not at that point yet.

>'You have the right to consumer the food we produce for you, but we are the only ones who may produce it.'

>That's legislating control over life itself to companies and corporations.

>Agriculture has been the cornerstone of human society for thousands of years. What gives somw corporation the right to tell people they canmt practice one of the oldest human trades in existence?

So? You can still grow grapes, just not the specially engineered/bred ones. Also, it's limited to 20 years, so you can grow all the cotton candy grapes you want two decades from now.
> This builds community and helps open minds.

As someone who grew up in a small, rural Christian community, this is a nice sentiment, but far from true in my experience. People instead become highly punitive and disparaging towards anyone who does not think and behave exactly like them. Whatever community exists is built around a hateful exclusion of “the other.”

This. It’s not as if Slack is a tiny startup with three engineers. They’re a large company now of 2,700 or so, with nearly 1,000 working in engineering. At that scale, I am certain they can manage a UX redesign in parallel with any amount of back end engineering required.

I would actually argue that social media forms natural monopolies. The network effect creates an enormous advantage for incumbents.

> It is technically quite trivial to clone the basic functionality of Twitter and run a competing service. This has been done semi-sucessfully with Gab (not endorsing that community, but it is a good example), for example. People choose social media services based on their perceived value, social prestige, etc.

It is quite simple to create software that mimics Twitter, sure. It is very, very hard to create a platform like Twitter. That further reinforces it as a natural monopoly to me. You can even look at how the companies rise and fall; typically if the incumbent fails, they do so entirely, and the new competitor eats all of their lunch (i.e. MySpace and Facebook, Digg/Slashdot/Reddit, etc). There are very rarely situations where a new competitor comes and splits the market share; they either take it all, or they get none.

> There's no equivalent to "I have to use Twitter because they own the lines to the house/they have the only 5G coverage in my area/they are the only company licensed by my city."

There absolutely is. "I have to use Twitter because that's where everyone I want to talk to is, and they don't allow any interoperation with other social networks." It's fundamentally the same thing, and treating them like a utility would involve forcing them to treat their platform like utility poles. They can charge a fee to the other companies that interoperate to recoup their costs and get some profit, but they have to allow the interoperation.
I really wish, that when COs like Amazon decided to productize a thing they either offered the core developer(s) enough $ to work on it full time (if they wanted) or a job to do that with a guarantee that as long as it was a product, and they wanted to work on it, they'd be allowed to continue. Problem with offering job is the likelyhood of getting redirected to some other unrelated work.

instead of forking they could work with core devs to see if they wanted to support the desired features (potentially with an NDA until release).

this big co strategy of "mine. I profit now. everyone who built up this useful thing can suck eggs" really sucks and sucks for the humans and sucks for Open Source.
I said I didn't want to make presumptions specifically about the parent post's personal situation. I do not think there are only two issues. I did say the categories are hard to define. First paragraph of Wikipedia's Narcotic entry: "In the United States, it has since become associated with opiates and opioids, commonly morphine and heroin...". If you would give my point some charity, I think narcotics could fall into the broader opiate category I was talking about. Perhaps there is a better word for this category, I don't care what we call it, but the distinction is worth making that the drugs in these separate categories are dangerous is unlike ways. Every drug is a different issue. Widespread LSD use would cause a change in society, widespread heroin use would cause a collapse in society.
Ah, "figurative interpretation" defence. Except that one or two thousand years ago such "figurative interpretation" was considered an apostasy: people actually believed those stories to factually be true. Try to deny their factual truth, get stoned (with stones).

It actually looks as if the Chinese are doing it right this time: the ugliness of the black sludge is confined to a small lake, so that the sludge can settle and the water can drain. One day, when the pond is filled with clay, they will turn it into a park.
I can't think of a good reason to not use Cloudflare. They are incredible.

(That being said, there is nothing wrong with Cloudfront. On a recent project we are using all three, cloudfront and cloudflare are not mutually exclusive)
It’s as if they’re running a gigantic-scale, totally unique collaboration platform the likes of which the world has never seen, during a period in which a global pandemic has increased the use of the platform massively, leading to scaling challenges that anyone outside of Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Dropbox, Slack and a mere handful of other giants would scarcely comprehend...
Just did a hydrox dip after harvest about a week ago. Water didn't go black but it fizzed up pretty bad and had a lot of crap in it by the end. Couldn't even see the bottom of the wash bucket by the end.

Dunno what you did that yours turned black, are you sure you didn't get a bunch of soil in the water? There shouldn't be tar or ash on live weed plants.

It does make me question smoking any undipped pot though.
>Cambridge Analytica was mostly a story of Facebook

Cambridge Analytica was a story about mass stupidity. Where millions of people all clicked "I allow this random company to have access to everything my account can see, including everything my friends have made public to me." CA was millions of people being careless with privacy, because they didnt care and just wanted to play a quiz. Even if facebook had explained the decision better than it did (I thought it was pretty clear if you read it) people wouldnt have read it.
That's not really a good counterexample. Do you think that Roof attended the bible study with the intent of actually discussing -- let alone listening to -- anything? It was almost without question just part of the setup for his attack.
I think you have it backwards, you want a higher HRV, not lower. A higher HRV is healthier. Being in a calm state will have higher HRV, being stressed will result in a lower HRV. Higher HRV is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality, and improved psychological well-being and quality of life.

That's literally the deal you offered.
I just want to point out that there is no reason to be concerned by a steep rise in blood sugar unless you have a metabolic disorder. I steep rise in blood sugar is what you probably want from your food.

Even with a metabolic disorder, the steep rise in blood sugar is not the problem. The lack of a steep fall in blood sugar is a problem, however.
It's worth mentioning that this isn't just a case of people not being able to use the patch outside of AWS; the patch is actually impeding pgbouncer from implementing a similar feature:

> We'd like to rewrite such features for pgbouncer from the ground up but it is impossible to prove to the lawyer that the re-writing is not kind of "derivative works". I believe it is not what you expected, as an opensource project that derived benefit from the whole pgbouncer community.
The issue is wanting to have it both ways.

- I don't want to use restrictive (GPL) license like those business-hating FSF folks–I want people to use my software _freely_

- Hey! A big business used my software in a way that rubs me the wrong way (in this case, without giving prominent enough attribution)! Not nice!

What's not nice about it? You use a permissive license but you're going to get upset if people follow the letter of your license? This doesn't make sense. This might make sense if there were not alternative licenses but there are, and the author chose not to use them. This seems like playing a mind-game. "It's permissive! Use it how you like! (but I'm going to be upset if you don't follow the unwritten attribution guideline I have in my head)." How is it fair to expect other parties to meet your secret expectations?

What did AWS do wrong here? Were they supposed to know this guy's unwritten expectations?
I don’t see how you can state that stability is not a priority. Slack has had a few very bad days, but recall that this is normal with all such rapidly scaling, massive services.
Basically using popular media to make people interact more IRL, suggest people consume less and basically de-throne media goes against the aligned incentives of the whole system and its success.

I'm a pandas core developer and this is very interesting to me.

That `groupby.apply` is a lot slower than `groupby.agg` does not surprise me at all: `groupby.apply` can do a lot of things that `groupby.agg` can't do, at the cost of being potentially a lot slower. In general, `groupby.apply` should only be used, when `groupby.agg` can't do the job.

However, are you saying that pandas's `groupby.agg` is faster than r's data.table, julia and clojure? That surprises me a lot.
I've had EMs who who really well versed in the team's technical work, because they were an IC on the team, and the complete opposite: EM was external hire

As an aspiring manager of engineers, do you mean that it's far from the truth of real-life counterexamples?
I've been using it on my main computer for about 6 months now.

It's been the steepest learning curve, but yeilded the biggest dividends so far.

The other day I needed to install some software from a specific 3 year old branch. Copying the default.nix for the up to date version and changing a few of the options got it up and running with minimal fuss.

There are certainly some rough edges around usability, but the fundamental value prop is immense.

Also just using nix as a secondary package manager on mac or some other Linux distro is great, I'd expect shell.nix to start showing up in an increasing amount of OSS projects. It showed up in hashicorp's latest project

Good catch. I think you could get somewhat around this by running a CC-BY-SA, which requires that Amazon disclose the source of their forked product, which in turn would include a credit.
FWIW, using language like 'crackhead Hunter' is a pretty strong tell that you are a troll. If you want engage in debate on HN, I suggest you clean it up a bit.

I wonder if you've only tried using the web client. I see the same terrible delays in the web client, even on a monster PC where it seems there should be no excuse for slowness.

However, it seems better in their "native" electron client. Still no excuse, performance is terrible in the web client, in my experience, and I'd prefer to use that if I could.

Writeup from 1997 here (P-HTTP basically means HTTP version 1.1):

https://www.isi.edu/~johnh/PAPERS/Heidemann97a.html

> John Heidemann. Performance Interactions Between P-HTTP and TCP Implementations. ACM Computer Communication Review. 27, 2 (Apr. 1997), 65–73.

> This document describes several performance problems resulting from interactions between implementations of persistent-HTTP (P-HTTP) and TCP. Two of these problems tie P-HTTP performance to TCP delayed-acknowledgments, thus adding up to 200ms to each P-HTTP transaction. A third results in multiple slow-starts per TCP connection. Unresolved, these problems result in P-HTTP transactions which are 14 times slower than standard HTTP and 20 times slower than potential P-HTTP over a 10 Mb/s Ethernet. We describe each problem and potential solutions. After implementing our solutions to two of the problems, we observe that P-HTTP performs better than HTTP on a local Ethernet. Although we observed these problems in specific implementations of HTTP and TCP (Apache-1.1b4 and SunOS 4.1.3, respectively), we believe that these problems occur more widely.

Solutions for efficient batching of HTTP headers + data without delays involve TCP_NODELAY, and MSG_MORE / SPLICE_F_MORE / TCP_CORK / TCP_NOPUSH. Possibly TCP_QUICKACK may come in handy. Same for any protocol really, but HTTP is the one where there tends to be a separate sendmsg() and sendfile() on Linux.
Incredible, I had no idea there was such a strong sound-text association for dyslexia. To go from 10% in "irregular" language to 1.4% in a phonetic language is crazy. I was super curious about how kana show up and unsurprisingly good results. Very interesting indeed.

The problem is that English-as-spoken is diverse enough to become unintelligible between some speakers (https://youtu.be/UGRcJQ9tMbY), from pronunciation to grammar to vocabulary. Any attempt to standardize English will inevitably result in the fracturing of English into multiple languages.
Another angle is as discussed in Mythical Man Month - due to O(n^2) growth of communication overhead, the optimal team size is 2. 2 people working 100 hours a week >>> 5 people working 40 hours a week, as is obvious in any early stage startup.
Thanks - will take a look
I think the legal aspect of the licensing determines what is "right", otherwise the definition of "right" can be interpreted different ways. Don't be fooled, both parties entered into a contract. One when they published the software, and one when they used the software. Any expectations outside of that are left undocumented.
