Moving back to the land-sea war, we know how to make bombs and stuff, so they better have something like steel and know how to come attack us on land and so on if there is any notion of it being a contest.
Thank you for pointing that out. If we believe that using such data for ad targeting would be a problem, it remains best to simply make that illegal. Preventing a particular acquisition seems like a roundabout and inefficient way to accomplish the goal, since it would not prevent Google from acquiring the data some other way, supposing they wanted to use it for targeting. And it prevents other potential benefits of an acquisition, such as more robust competition in the wearables market.

I am tempted to invest some time in .Net ecosystem. I always liked C# as a language. It is cross platform and generic enough. Gains in last few years seems to be impressive.

Also, I now see some benefits of having a central authority like MS. Things may not be perfect/fastest, but you get a comprehensive and well integrated solution.
Ask HN: What is your greatest regret of 2O20?
The SA is basically our tech lead in that regard, even though doing more, like strategic items. If we scale up to lots of developers and sub-teams, we’d have dedicated tech leads also being developers.

Regarding senior engineers; we have multiple seniors on the team anyway, seniority doesn’t necessarily put you in an influential position.

We use the SA basically as a technical coach. They are not the boss, and they don’t own the solution or push decisions, we practice collaborative ownership in that regard. I like to say the SA is our development scrum master.

We run like this on projects for banks or insurances. Allows us to execute in an agile fashion (we actually use XP) while still being able to plan months ahead (high level) - those types of customers love their Gantt charts and solution architecture documentation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
While I personally use `tput` in scripts where it matters, I think an argument can be made that effectively all terminals now in use support ANSI X3.64 aka ECMA-48 aka ISO/IEC 6429. The 37-year-old VT220 does.

The greater sins I see today are assuming line length and assuming background colour.
France is stereotyped as particularly culturally jingoistic. I wonder why France uniquely (among large countries?) has these offers of citizenship.
> A ceiling on the price?

So just factor that into your equation. Some people would prefer a ceiling, some flexibility. The point is it isn't obviously and inherently a 'scam.' It's just a different way to price and pay for things.

I've had this argument before, and this is very off-topic, but that seems to be the nature of sports arguments :).

I agree that the NBA was far more physical in Jordan's era and that LeBron has never had to go through that. But the style of play cuts both ways! The biggest difference, I think, is that zone defense was illegal for (almost) Jordan's whole career. This allowed Jordan to showcase his isolation scoring, and I think Jordan was clearly the best isolation scorer ever.

This argument is more or less convincing depending on how you factor in the greater physicality (e.g. handchecking). My hypothesis is that LeBron would have been extremely hard to guard alone even with the relaxed rules. IIRC, Miami Lebron weighed 260+ and was still faster than most wings; Jordan topped out around 220 in the 2nd 3-peat. The available evidence suggests that LeBron is pretty hard to hurt -- unless you think all NBA players have somehow become more injury-prone, his almost spotless injury record relative to his peers is remarkable.

We seem to have different aesthetic preferences for basketball. I think late 90s basketball is ugly as hell! But I'll argue that the cross-era comparisons are not that easy, and both players are hard to extricate from the style of their eras anyway.

I think I get what is happening with the earth/sun question. If you imagine the earth going around the sun but also not rotating on its axis, then a single trip around the sun would cause a single "day" on Earth. It's still wrong, but at least it is consistent.

But by this reasoning no one would play blackjack at the casino. That is, how do you know people laying these bets aren't just gambling at a disadvantage? You could view the whole thing as one more novelty game the casino is spreading.
I like notebooks for eda and some prototyping but then move to vs code.

From my experience, the the problem is many people in DS positions or who start with notebooks are unaware of what editors are for and don’t have much grasp on code maintainability or collaboration.

They simply don’t know what they don’t know so their notebooks are spaghetti code mixed with tons of random things being displayed that was a sanity check for them at the time but now not even they know why they printed or displayed it.
Tipping has long been more of a hidden, unwritten fee, than an actual service incentive.
Absolutely. Have you tried telling a random friend, or someone older, that the government can spy on everything they do and they can use that against them?

They'll most likely think you're exaggerating and maybe a little bit of a conspiracy theorist. Most people really do trust the government to act in good faith, even if you see them badmouthing various politicians.

I try not to hype up albums I love too much anymore.

I think of Radiohead as our late stage Beatles. Experimental and exciting, even if there's a jagged edge now and then.

In Rainbows was very accessible and holds up in my view.

OK Computer was more of a surprise. Listen to The Bends first, and you will hear what a break it was in quality and style. Their next release, Kid A, was the one that was hotly anticipated. It was also a huge departure, but when they were the biggest band in the world.

Kid A holds up too.

I think Radiohead lives up to the hype. One way to check on this is to watch them live (say, on YouTube) or pick up some of their concerts on etree (a free taper sharing site). They make headphone records, and then they replicate most of their sounds in real time.
If it's facetious then I don't even see the point of the comment at all. Why get a fitness-tracking watch if you don't want any of those features?? Or just turn them off?
The code is so simple mostly because it doesn’t need to deal with NAT hole-punching.

It’s just money. You can come back from any loss. Breathe and find a way to accept it and move on. Reflect later on how you can do better in the future.

XRP was entirely based on compliance and corporate control. It represents the bet that banks will subvert real distributed currencies like Bitcoin. Of course, that strength to control and promote the network made them extra vulnerable to the same regulations they sought to comply with. It’s not surprising to me that they faced devaluation and a SEC investigation. After all, the founders and company held massive quantities of XRP and would promote their holdings through business deals. They made all the decisions and put themselves in the position to be targeted. That’s a security, no doubt about it.

In any case you probably know a lot more about the financial system and cryptocurrency and therefore can make better decisions in the future.

As for current holdings, no idea but I’d guess there will be a small bounce back of people testing recovery before another drop. I’d try to exit then, personally. But if the money matters very much to you and you were over invested it might be best to play it safe and cut your losses while you can. Exchanges are likely to delist it so they aren’t peddling an unregistered security.

The DNA-box companies sell randomized data to drug companies, to help literally make cures for disease. Not do bad. And it's random, and there's buy in.

I can see G people going for that: it's random data from Android devices, people are opting in etc..

But then inch by inch it gets worse.

The abstraction of "society", that is presumably supposed to benefit from everyone's job, is hiding the crucial details.

His job facilitates trades between people who want to trade with each other. Since they are part of society, our society benefits from his work.

Evidently it's doing more than "make some already fabulously rich people even richer", because it's paying salaries for some programmers, as well.
Right, they signed a memo asking Google not to do the thing, and, uh, oh, that's all that's in there.

Ask HN: What are your best tips for a good slack group?
I’m in the process of making a slack group for my colleagues and I to share knowledge and iterate on some internal software.

We’ll be sharing things like case studies, have long running conversations on a single question, and then general QA.

The reason I’m choosing slack is because of the private messaging, mobile notifications, and everyone already has it installed.

However, I tend to prefer FB groups style communication with dedicated question/ answer threads.

For those who have been in good slack groups, what were the components that led to success?

Are there was to avoid making conversations challenging for new people to enter?

How do you recommend splitting up channels and threads?

I haven’t come across anything profound with it, it mainly reduces friction from not needing to be taken out of a pocket and unlocked.

Contactless payments are fairly nice as you can double tap the button, and hold the watchface over a reader, no need to get out your wallet and find the card you want to pay with.

Back when going out with others was a thing, it’s calculator has features for tips and splitting checks.
> Worst case jumping from the 3-5th story is likely to result in serious injury but is often survivable.

A brief web search suggests to me that about 50% of people who fall from 15 meters (approx 4th floor) will die. Those are awful odds, and most survivers of falls from that height probably aren't landing on the sort of pavement you might expect to be surrounding a high-rise building. And how many of the survivers ever walk again? How many can even feed themselves again?

Seriously, 50% is worse than even russian roulette, a 'game' generally recognized as suicidal.
My experience has been that people don't want ads but also usually aren't willing to pay to not have them. I just immediately write off anyone who complains about ads on YouTube, for instance.

As far as I can tell, TiddlyWiki 5 has no feature or plugin to have revision history integrated into the UI, although one might come in the future [1]. According to [1], there used to be "TiddlyWeb/TiddlySpace, a robust serverside that supports revision history", but TiddlySpace (a hosted service) is dead, and TiddlyWeb (an open source codebase that I guess was the backend for TiddlySpace?) seems to be no longer maintained and mainly targeted the 'old' (pre-5.x) TiddlyWiki.

That's too bad for me, because I have a use case where I'd otherwise be very interested in using TiddlyWiki. I love that links load instantly, I love that forking a TiddlyWiki is trivial, I'm interested in the idea of dividing information into smaller-than-a-normal-wiki-page 'tiddlers', and I like the UI design. Overall, I can't find any other software that quite matches TiddlyWiki's capabilities.

But my use case is for a publicly editable wiki, so it's critical that revision history not only exist but be integrated into the UI. Right now, as far as I can tell, the closest approximation would be to use TiddlyWiki's feature of auto-saving to a Git hosting service (which for some reason supports only specific hosting services, not arbitrary remotes?). Then you could browse the history on that service. But that would be a totally separate site from the wiki itself, which would create an awkward user experience.

So I'm just giving you perspective after about 9 weeks of SimplyPiano.

Im very far away from being able to control the nuances of volume. Im still at the point, where I'm learning to use my left and right hands independently and play without looking.

And that's what SimplyPiano gets you to - it's a structured program+game that teaches you to read music and gain hand independence using an app.

Im pretty self aware that I will need a teacher at some point. I have been a gamer and had formal teaching in music when I was kid.

I find it hard to believe that a teacher would be able to correct me in real time, while simultaneously having me enjoy the process. Once I start playing half decently, the memory of music is motivation enough.

Not right now.

People are confused then, perhaps Brave needs to make its marketing clearer. It was born from cryptocurrency, to give utility to BAT. The entire goal is to monetize your attention to profit from ads and the mechanism is their cryptocurrency. The “other crap they’re adding” is the entire purpose - adblocking is truly secondary to popularizing BAT.
More and more lately I have the feeling that things won't improve unless heads start rolling. And I mean literally as in people getting beheaded, not figuratively.
It isn't really a true finale in the same way as those two examples, but I would throw out Infinity War and End Game as a joint example. The Marvel Cinematic Universe was able to successfully put a capstone on a cinematic project on the scale that had never even been attempted before. It was impressive enough to end a single story like Harry Potter in a satisfying way. The MCU was able to do the same for a wide variety of stories, dozens of characters, and over twenty movies.

Also it doesn't hurt the MCU's legacy that there is the obvious comparison with Game of Thrones that magnificently failed a very similar task the exact weekend that End Game came out.
Something's wrong with all of the "deduce from patterns" answers in the article's comments. None of the patterns are deduced! It's definitely not an axiom that an even number minus and even number is even; that would have to be proven from the definition of even-ness. The definition of even-ness is what decides whether or not zero is even. It would be equally coherent to define 0 to be even, or exempt from even-ness. An example of a definition where exemption would make sense would be to say that even numbers are those whose unique prime factorizations contain a factor of two. 0 is exempted from having a factorization, so exemption from even and odd would follow naturally. Whether or not 0 is even is a random accident of math history with at most a little justification from convenience. Nobody can be blamed for failing to deduce it because it cannot be deduced.

I think the people claiming that the right answer is obvious are making a mistake much more severe than the mistake made by people who guessed that zero was exempt. They are confusing the direction of reasoning by trying to prove axioms from conjectures by first assuming that their conjectures are theorems.
My biggest value-add is being able to leave my phone at home.

Being able to listen to podcasts and audio-books on my watch while going for walks and running errands has been great. With Apple Pay I don't even need to take my wallet with me and can just tap with my watch.

Also the reminder to "close my rings" and being able to enter "competitions" with friends has been a great motivator for me to exercise.

Sometimes, it can be the same person. In a largish endeavor, there may be few SAs, many SEs and even more devs. In my experience, it depends on the diversity of tech that the solution entails. To address your point (perhaps semantically) the SA may see a wider view... business lens, sustainability lens, etc. Often, the Senior Eng may interface a lot sith the SA, but may also hae more depth on the pure technical aspects of the solution. Captain Kirk is the SA, while Scotty might be the Senior Engineer. Kirk dreams of things, and can probably execute, but Scotty can keep him honest within the bounds of physics. Each needs the other. Ultimately, they are names on hats, and as long as the right people are in the room, I will take experience and communication capability over titles on cards. Source: This is what I do daily.
