This 'bulking up with air' is most evident if you go to the yogurt or cream cheese section and look for the Yoplait Whips or Philadelphia Whipped containers. It's the same product, just as a foam, and seems to be marketed as a healthier alternative where users choose a satisfactory portion by volume, not by calories or weight.

And while I think the whipped foods are stupid, I don't think that packaged food sellers are necessarily scumbags. They're merely people responding to incentives, just like everyone else. The food market has razor-thin margins and consumers are ill-informed. Neither consumers (who are hard to inform) nor regulators (who are captive to the multinational conglomerates) have been able to push back more strongly than the profit incentive, so the so dark patterns like those you describe are inevitable.
Ask HN: Should developers be paid more equally?
Hey HN, I am testing a theory where I try to put a global price tag on developer skills.

Do you think it is possible that developers are paid more equally around the globe?

What if developers are being paid based on hard- and soft skills only while not considering the avg local salary payments? Imagine a developer in Finland being paid the same as one in Romania or the US.

What's your take on this HN?
Would you use a 'skill-appraisal' service that tries to accomplish that?
Advice to the author:

This is a subject I am interested in, so I began your article eagerly, but had to stop about halfway through out of frustration. Please consider these as the constructive suggestions that I intend them to be:

Think about the story you want to tell. Maybe make an outline or diagram, marking at which points you will introduce which facts.

Example: For some reason something called Commonmark is abruptly mentioned, with a link to spec documents that would seem to be of only technical interest. What is this, and how is it connected to anything else?

Do enough research so that you know the highest peaks in the landscape. Why describe the foothills and take no notice of the prominent mountaintop right in front of us?

Example: the bits about the comics were fascinating. But where is Pandoc? I don’t think I’m guilty, here, of demanding that you write the article I would have written. But Pandoc is the application of Markdown. It turns Markdown into a way to author HTML, TeX, PDF, Office formats, and a lot more. It‘s huge.

Anyway, I like the look of your site (but agree with others that you should not hijack browser shortcuts).
yup, it's pretty good
This is just an incredibly misguided take, particularly from someone who seems to be deep in the games industry.

The developers already legally hold all of the power in these situations - they can literally pick and choose when they want to enforce copyright [1]. How does making creators even more disadvantaged work out for the communities in the long term?

Let's say that I own a 5 million dollar business that makes 1 million per year in profit, and the corporate tax rate is 40%. I could take my profit and pay my taxes, leaving me with a 5 million dollar company and $600k cash. Alternatively I could "spend" that $600k to get 1 million dollars in cash interest free to invest in my company, raising its valuation to 6 million. Assuming with the investment that that the company continues to generate 20% profit, even if the tax rate stays the same, I make $720k per year after taxes. Considering I invested 1 million and I'm making an extra $120k per year, that's a 12% ROI/yr - not bad, not great. But since it only cost me $600k to make that investment, I'm really getting 20% ROI/yr. If taxes drop in the future, the ROI further increases, but they don't need to for it to be advantageous. Even if I never actually take profits, my net worth is still going up, and I can cash that in by selling the business or some of its assets at some future point.

I built https://reviewsignal.com which aggregates twitter opinions about web hosting companies. It runs it through spam filtering and sentiment analysis to constantly give an updated view into what people think about these companies. It makes money with affiliates, most hosting companies have them, some don't (eg. amazon). I don't let affiliate program existence or pay influence the rankings, it's just pure data. It updates itself and has for almost a decade now.
It depends on the AWS product.

For the container systems e.g. ECS, EKS, Fargate they have an open roadmap where they drive much of the direction from the community:

For others it's completely closed off. At my last company we spent tens of millions a year with AWS and they never listened to us. The account managers have zero pull.

Everything there is correct except the response. Don't give up on the web. Just stop using websites that implement user hostile things like web components. It sucks but not nearly as much as switching to a new protocol. The corporate web (like github/youtube/etc) will become inaccessible but there's plenty of real websites out there.

Yes, but you haven’t said whether you think this means that the names, photos and home addresses of all police should be made public.

Just because someone does public work doesn’t mean they should be denied a private life.
Not that it matters for ice cream, but NTP can compensate for latency better than HTTPx can.
It's the same idea even if they don't call it markdown. It's yet another formatting language to learn and occasionally confuse with similar things on other sites, and will occasionally bite you when you least expect it.

I’m not sure if it’s a regular request, or so regular that it’s automatic, but in France, if you order an eat-in meal with ice cream, they don’t make the ice cream until you come back to the counter with your receipt and request it.

I agree with you but still I am commenting on the factual sentences that exist in the article and not their correctness. I'm sure you understood already.
According to philosopher/historian Laura Snyder, this claim is not true. The word scientist was coined over a debate on whether "natural philosophers" was accurate/narrow enough of a term to describe what they were doing. In answer to a challenge by poet coleridge, Whewell came up with the term scientist - 'If philosophers is too wide and lofty a term then, by analogy with artist, we may form scientist. In other words, snobbish philosophers who worked with their minds looked down on these "scientists" who worked with their hands and wanted to differentiate themselves from scientists.

Here is her wonderful TED talk describing the history of 'scientist'. It's interesting how since then, the reputation of scientist has risen and philosophers have dropped. Now philosophers and everyone else from economists and political 'scientists' want to be called scientists.

We are told that in war, truth is the first casualty. Sadly this is true for the culture war as almost everything peddle during this war is half-truths or outright lies. The worrisome part is that so much of media and tech is involved in the disinformation. For anything remotely cultural, I know if it's in wikipedia, the nytimes or posted here, it's most likely bullshit. But nevertheless the bullshit must flow.

[from the article]

"That women should face such an Everestine climb toward inclusion and equality is a piece of curious and rather cruel cultural irony, for the very word “scientist” didn’t always have the overwhelmingly male connotations it has had in recent history. In fact, it was a coined for a woman — the Victorian polymath Mary Somerville"

The above is pretty much all cultural propaganda.

1. Women didn't face everestine climb. Especially privileged wealthy white women like somerville. Sure she had some hurdles, but nothing her privilege couldn't overcome. Somerville had it easier than 90% of men and 95% of women.

2. Scientist always had an overwhelmingly male connotation because scientists are/were overwhelmingly male. Not saying it should be this way or not, but just stating reality.

3. It was indeed not fact, that the term scientist, was coined for a woman.

I doubt the author or the site will correct their lies. I doubt wikipedia will fix their site. And I doubt this is the last we'll see of this here.

Edit: Of course these "warriors" are now distracting with straw man comments. The first 3 minutes of Laura Synder's ted talk explains the origins of scientist. It's not that long of a watch. If you think she's lying or mistaken, then feel free to comment on that. But I see no reason why she would lie and all the evidence, including the one's the naysayers are posting seems to show she is right.
The most shocking thing for me here is the table of donors. In any other part of life, receiving donations from someone with a stake in something will completely invalidate what you say about it.
A judge, even in the lowest of courts, would get immediately replaced if this kind of link was found. My mother in the city council isn't allowed to propose any IT-related project because I work in the field. Even something as simple as an unboxing on YouTube will be often considered as biased and untrustworthy if there was money exchanged, even for creators with a good track record.

But a senator - supposedly the highest rank of the legislative branch - can receive 100s of thousands of $ from a handful of companies and then turn around and propose something that directly hands precious federal resources to those exact companies who stand to earn billions from them.

How is this even legal, let alone seen as normal?!?
Ask HN: ML training in Keras – use Sanic/Flask?
Hi,

I want to be able to trigger trainings from a web server using a REST interface (POST of course); is Sanic/Flask usable for this? I'd have to run Keras in the background (async job) but I've heard that doesn't work quite well. What is the right pattern to use here? The web seems full of REST calls for inference but not much available for training. If you do this, what's your basic stack?
It’s harder to only make a moral argument in the case of America which is generally richer than Russia.

Why would anyone go to Russia apart from some moral consideration, given that Russian has nothing else to offer? I think that’s a pretty valid argument in certain circles.
I think I chose the word "enforced" because of the Googler's reply and immediate closing of the issue without any discussion.

If this had been any other topic, they would have collected community feedback.

On this one though, it was made very clear that no discussion or change would be considered, so that makes it feel "enforced" to me.
Gee, I wonder what will happen.

If I were to bet, I'd say secret squads are more likely than cops just giving up and not enforcing the law any longer.

Seems like a very poor idea. Would you want somebody doxxing you for your work? How much more so it is if you're a cop.

I don't see any good at all in this.
Well said. More love, more code.
No it's not. It's just McDonald's. Context matters. Maybe if it was a school, or a hospital, or a fire department, y'know something that actually matters? But it's not. It's just McDonald's.

Currently McDonald's finances the slaughter of 67,000 cows every single day. This is a massive waste of food, water, and land resources and extremely harmful to human society. It releases massive pollution into the land, air and water. Also if you are in any way spiritual, there is the massive group karma resulting from raising billions of cows in bondage to be slaughtered with a mechanical efficiency reminiscent of the Holocaust. In a more reasonable world McDonald's execs would be labelled criminals, but we don't live in a reasonable world. We live in an irrational world where poor people try to defend megarich corporations from harmless pranks for basically no reason.
Me too ;)
I don't see any attribution supporting the claim that "scientist" was coined for somerville.

"1834, a hybrid coined from Latin scientia (see science) by the Rev. William Whewell, English polymath, by analogy with artist, in the same paragraph in which he coined physicist"

Edit: I'm going to pretend you're being sincere dang ( even though you rate limited me ).

No. Scientist was not coined for somerville.

First 3 minutes, professor laura snyder explains where the word scientist came from.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc_-Y9rDN2g

Second, your comment about "attribution" was rather misleading ( intentional or not ).

Thirdly, the only sources so far of whewell using the word scientist in a review of her book : "An English man of science who called himself a philosopher now did so rather self-consciously..."

He's complaining about "english man" of science having to be careful about how he refers to himself because philosophers don't like people like him claiming to be philosophers. Last I checked, somerville wasn't an "english man". But regardless, the review of her book comes after he coined the term scientist.

Edit2: Nobody is questioning the attribution of scientist to whewell dang. Most everyone agrees. The question is whether whewell coined the term after somerville. I've provided sources that he didn't. And nowhere in your pg 59 is there a mention of somerville.

I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here but your comment seems very misleading for some reason.
How? You get energy from solar panels, water from a well, and internet through satellites. What type of remote living are you condemning? Do you have any evidence for this?

Also, I do not understand how someone living further away from a city reduces the housing in a city.

What's your usecase for such long passwords? 55 lower case ASCII characters (a-z) have over 258 bits of entropy.

As an example, that's more than the key length of AES-256. If my limited understanding is correct that would mean it gives no additional brute-force resistance to use a password longer than 55 lower case characters for anything AES-256 encrypted (and thus also for anything weaker than AES-256). Similar logic should apply if the password gets hashed to 256 bits or less (e.g. SHA-256 or bcrypt with 192bits).
gcp cloud nat wasn't really used in the first itrations, it was only introduced at the end of 2018 and "private" networks were only a thing in like middle of 2019 and it is still not the default, especially not on gke (besides that cloud nat is cheaper)

Hemangioma in my case. I had an MRI but in the end it was a surgeon with the right experience looking at an earlier ultrasound that diagnosed it.

I had trouble believing he'd diagnosed it when he glanced at the ultrasound and calmly said what it was. Given I'd had medical practitioners send me for neurological studies to check it wasn't all in my head, suggest fusing my wrist to stop the pain, tell me there was nothing visible in X-ray, MRI, or the same ultrasound report the surgeon diagnosed me from... It seemed unlikely anyone could do an apparently simple diagnosis like that.
No worries, I wasn’t trying to ascribe any personal fault. Figured it was more a Medium product issue.

There's more than one state of arousal. Anxiety and concentration are both forms of arousal but the latter has an associated feeling of calm.

ChromeOS Developer Mode is an option for all customers.

It's not described in Google's marketing materials, and it compromises the trusted boot model of course -- but it's just a magic (but well-documented) keypress and a confirmation screen away, for all privately-owned devices.

However, recent Chromebook models make Developer Mode less useful for most customers. Google is no longer shipping alternative boot ROM payloads, and there are firmware bugs which do not affect ChromeOS, but do affect other Linux distros.
> it's known that the framers of the Constitution meant for the people to have access to arms partly as a hedge against governmental use of arms against the people

That's not known. Radiolab did a great piece on the 2nd amendment's history: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/radio...

TL;DL: The idea that U.S. citizens should arm themselves to defend against a tyrannical government appears to be a relatively new idea. The text of the 2nd amendment is vague and unclear:

> A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The original intentions are shrouded in a historical fog of obscurity.

So really, like most of the Constitution, the meaning is up to the people and the courts. That's why we established the Supreme Court, to help us establish the living meaning behind the Constitution ... oh wait:

https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolabmoreperfect/epi...

The Supreme Court is also a modern day construction, also originally an object of constitutional obscurity.

I guess the real summary of the U.S. Constitution can be summed up as ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"The future is plastics!"

I'm not a chemist but I've recently come to realize that the meaning of the term in the popular psyche has probably changed over the decades, taking on largely negative connotations, because of its association with a small subset of materials (albeit large by volume), most of which are either toxic, a pollution problem, or both.

AFAIU, in industry "plastics" is just a blanket term for moldable organic materials that chemists are constantly inventing. They're not necessarily sourced from petroleum, nor necessarily toxic. It's a ridiculously huge category of material, and plastics really were and probably always will figure prominently in our future. And I would assume that some traditional, even edible materials have been subsumed into the plastics category given the general scope of the term and the industry itself.
Why not call them out? It was Apple that decided that standards weren't for them.

Sure, it might be more of an Apple legal team problem vs programmer problem. None-the-less they are the ones that decided to derail the standard.
If anything, cops should be held to a higher standard, so whatever's good enough for them to use against us should be doubly good enough to use against them.
Quote: "The rate of lethal force against the total U.S. population: 0.00000343477%"

I would argue that anything above 0.00% is wrong. Police must and should always use non-lethal approach. Regardless of their situation. Sound / visual / sensory approach would incapacitate the violent persona and bring it to justice. Police in now way should be granted judge and executioner roles.

We are either consider life precious or not at all. No middle ground.
Honestly, what I look for when hiring is:

previous experience/internships at good companies that I know have solid engineering and/or CS/Engineering degree from a school I trust.

In my mind, bootcamps, certs and micro-degrees often signal someone was unable to enter the field due to a lack of qualifications. Most of them are pretty much rote memorization of commercial products, so fairly low value, or 'one trick ponies' where they know how to create a web app with one and only one tech stack (by copy-pasting templates!).

Really, I expect anyone with a good degree or previous experience to just be able to read git and GitHub's manuals and get it.

For the customer that's an option yes, but for the restaurant not so much. If you have a look at the fineprint of the blender it will say something in the line of "For private use only". This is not just because they want to extract more money from restaurants, it's because the engine is so poorly cooled and low quality components that it will melt if you run it longer than 10 minutes without letting it rest.

So yes, the customer can go home and make their own milkshake (unless they are on a trip and can't go home to make milkshake). But the store owner can't depend on a consumer grade blender to make 50 milkshakes in an hour.
