> I mean no one's made an argument why it shouldn't be _optional_ if it already isn't either,

I'll give you an argument against optional headshots: Adverse selection.

Given the advantages and disadvantage of having a headshot, most of the folks omitting them will have good reason to do so. Which means that those who don't have a headshot will be disadvantaged further.

IOW, not having a headshot signals one of three things: "I care about my privacy more than most people", "I couldn't be bothered to include a headshot", or "I am a member of a group that experiences prejudice based on superficial characteristics, such as weight or race, and wish to avoid this". There is a long tail of possible reasons and variations on these, for example the privacy one could actually be more along the lines of "I am hiding from my violent ex", but you get the drift.

None of these possible reasons are ones that give a reader warm fuzzy feelings. If the profile owner is very lucky, the reader will treat the absence of a headshot as largely irrelevant metadata, but that's the best case scenario: one of merely avoiding negative associations. There is no actual upside (the one exception I can come up with is an employer actually looking for candidates who are fanatical about their privacy for some reason, perhaps for security-related positions).

At least when you include a headshot you are only going to get hit with the actual relevant prejudice (which is a social filter that can be useful to you), rather than a stew of prejudices attached to all the imagined or assumed reasons for the image's absence, none of them consciously or coherently articulated.
Yes! Except I'm going to make the user experience better, provide better service, and also make it into an app.

I also plan to expand my market to physical games way in the future.
And then actively qualifying any recommendation by adding “cheap.”
hmmm... if I had to guess its probably because I like taking apart things and figuring out how things work and exploiting them. And I know what you're gonna say, why not try ethical hacking. Trust me I have tried time and time again to do ctfs etc on hackthebox. The difficulty isnt as much of a problem as getting myself to do that as i cant find the motivation, probably because there's no clear end goal? I also tend to get more validation from people when I publish a complex program etc. in the blackhat types of communities. Whenever I have made legal projects in the past its been kind of a "oh thats cool" and then back to regular conversation. But when I create these other projects im praised for my work. I can't tell if im just being a teenager, or if this is a more lifelong red flag.
I'm not ignoring anything. I am simply pointing out the 7/8 majority is so impractical that it is a worthless addition that only serves the appearance of making the law appear amendable but in practice it can only truly be amended by the popular vote.
I love and use wirecutter a lot, but I really enjoyed this site. He does not try to go the route of having an expert personally review every category (which is a great, high credibility approach). Instead he seems to just do the math finding the best rated items/average price. I find this more useful than another inferior wirecutter clone because it adds a data point.

It's definitely something I'll keep in my toolbox.
Oh, you're probably right there. Is that metric or imperial 0603? Anyhow, if it could be shrunk, presumably it could be packaged efficiently. A room sized computer, but with a billion memristors might be worth it.
In buses licensed to serve the public, opening the door is a single button-press, accessible from the driver's normal seated position. No additional delay is created.
I also like irssi, but I would not use it without my config file.

youtube-dl and python are also nice.
If it does, then it probably means you've got some funky substandard or non-standard LCD panel or gamma setting or color correction on whatever you're viewing it on.

Which isn't terribly unusual. But if your screen is well calibrated, then no -- the sRGB gradient should by definition be identical. That's literally the specification.

(And it is on my MacBook, as Apple screens tend to be among the most accurate of general consumer screens.)
> I am genuinely interested in understanding how we could have innovation in a world where a creator is not entitled to benefits from their invention.

We've had innovations for thousands of years without IP. Not to mention that Linux and GNU exist for a reason. Do you think people will stop writing books, making music, etc without IP laws.

How does removing IP laws prevent you from profiting from your work?

And what a blast from the past:

> Some of the temporary locations, such as the W Hotel, required significant upgrades to their network infrastructure, Klepper said. "We're running a Gigabit Ethernet now here in the W Hotel,'' Klepper said, with a network connected to four T1 (1.54M bit/sec) circuits. That network supports the code development for a Web-based interface to the company's systems, which Klepper called "critical" to Empire's efforts to serve its customers. Despite the lost time and the lost code in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, Klepper said, "we're going to get this done by the end of the year."

> Shevin Conway, Empire's chief technology officer, said that while the company lost about "10 days' worth" of source code, the entire object-oriented executable code survived, as it had been electronically transferred to the Staten Island data center.
> "obvious troll"

lol, nothing is obvious anymore. you got me.
No, specifically I think he does not do any manual vetting or reviewing. I think he essentially gets a ton of products in a given category, then takes the average review and price and runs some kind of formula to find a value sweet spot. I've done this same thing dozens of times myself in excel and it's kind of cool to see someone do it systemically.

Combine this with something like wirecutter that does vetted reviews (but probably looks at fewer products as a result) and it seems like a good complement.
I see what you mean, but it's a bit of a specialized term in HN history:

Ok. You have achieved your aim. You pointed it out. I obviously disagree with that conclusion. Seems like a fine place to end this discussion.
Huh? Not the way I understood it. Inertia implies the world is divided into cells numbered 1 to N, and people don’t move from X to X + 1 unless they report, say 5, consecutive times from X + 1. Overlapping systems remap the cells 1,2,3 to 1; 2,3,4 to 2 and so on. So if someone oscillated between new no. 1 and new no. 2, you’d still have no of knowing whether they were in old style cells no 2 or 3.
Just wanted to say - this is excellent writing!

I think this is right. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but the site felt a bit "meh" to me even though I like the concept. I like the simple design, but if there were ever a case to be made for a floating header that functions like a menu bar, those categories is it, right?

I skimmed a couple product categories that I've looked at recently, mainly gaming keyboards. The information felt a bit mediocre, but I also thought it did a pretty good job of picking out decent value products. I can see the value in it as a short list of products to look into, but there's not enough info for me to make a choice without leaving the site.

In real life, could a city do this (outside of forcing people out of their homes with military power)? Are there checks and limits on how much eminent domain can do in terms of claiming already-owned land?

I wonder why CDK uses an old version of the AWS SDK for JavaScript. I really like that CDK has some sane defaults (compared to CloudFormation where you have to define almost everything everytime). I also like it shows you a detailed progress status of the deployment.

He's been a piece of shit for decades
Funny how hard this narrative of people liking him before 2016 is being pushed.
Just for the record the US also created a full "3D" physical (IRL) map of mars, way back in the 1970s, meticulously stitching together individual photos that came back from very slowly from satellite feeds, then carefully laid out on a giant globe like surface which they could study the planet surface in detail.

The "vast channel system" naturally piqued early NASA researchers interest and if I'm not mistaken it goes nearly all the way around the equator of Mars. This and other geographical features led to the early idea of melting water flows on mars millions of years ago creating grooves and valleys, not just from volcanic activity.

So this is far from "new" news. It's just getting way more modern research with way better hardware (thanks to 12yrs of HIRISE data).

I'm mostly paraphrasing this from watching an old video of the NASA funded project on YouTube where they did what HIRISE is doing with way more primitive tech and old computer terminals.

Edit: I found it, "The Planet Mars (1979)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZzY8-nxabA

(Highly recommended watch, it shows original feeds of old badass NASA nerds working together on the lander. In one scene it shows a computer slowly getting a photo print out from the actual satellites on a terminal screen, with the team getting giddy at seeing these shots beaming directly from space).
OK, we all agree that USA's military-capitalism policy has been enacted in many places for many years. Thread parent's actual point, that this is very harmful to human people, seems confirmed rather than contradicted.
I think some big company (maybe Facebook) has this rule that you had to deploy something to production on your first day. They seemed pretty confident in their processes and devops teams. A company trying to imitate that policy without doing the work necessary to make it possible would probably have outages on days when lots of new people joined :-P
I'm sorry you didn't hear back, but posts like this break the rules at the top of the thread. Please don't do that.

Haskell powers pandoc, a couple of trading firms, and more and more systems at FB and Google.

I don’t know if any of those things are practical but some are useful and some make money ;)

OCaml is also instructive. It’s a little more similar to “industry languages” but definitely close to Haskell; it also has reasonably broad adoption.

It sounds like they nibbled around the edges making things 'easier'.

But they never got to the meat, which is how do you make sure each interaction is creating the maximum benefit for the patient, with the minimum amount of money spent.

How do you identify the big drivers of cost and illness, and can you address them better than the current system.

I suspect that they didn't want to become a payor or a provider (both of which are more complex), and thus were limited to generating ideas. It's sort of what Verily is doing, but they seem to have deeper pockets and a longer timeline to work with.

After 3 years the best they could come up with is telemedicine, making insurance easier to understand, and group purchasing of medications?
Inertia would just reduce the frequency of the jumps, not eliminate them completely. E.g. if you randomly get the new cell 6 times in a row you'll still oscillate, just slower.

Hey, some of us worked pretty hard for this to not be true, so at the very least the photo should be optional. I’m blessed with a common first and last name and outside of my HN username I am pretty un-Googlable. Someone very motivated could probably find an old photo of me or two but it’s not universally true that everyone’s photo is a simple search away.

That's true. But we're also kind of staring at a sheer wall at the moment. No one seems to be making significant theoretical progress in physics, and when the physicists are stumped, it rouses everyone else's curiosity.

Personally, I think the more crackpot ideas, the better; as long as they're not presented in a crackpot way (e.g. the proposer having high confidence or even certainty in their random speculation). And even the ones that are not even wrong can at least lead to useful, intellectual discussion so that the proposer can understand the landscape a bit more and at least closer to the "mere wrong" category.

Though I also agree it's much better for people to understand the existing state of affairs before proposing things as if the leading experts have somehow never considered [X] when [X] has been talked about for decades.
I'll echo the sentiments in this thread except for the swear words at Google. Losing access to a Gmail for similar reasons has been a net positive, though at the time it was mildly frustrating. I haven't gotten sucked into their aggressive cross-selling of all their products, and the consequences of always being logged in. Occasionally I can't view or comment on something. You can bookmark 5 YouTube channels without Subscribing, and some Twitter feeds without Following. The oligopolies of 2020 have made the internet a much more boring place than 10+ years ago. YouTube resembles cable television more and more every day. Rather than get mad and watch poor content, I now have more time to read and think.
> Seems like a non-story, IMO

The story is that an aligned, common goal isn't enough. You need cooporation and coordination to make it work. This is failure of the silo, and a reminder that in joint ventures, you have to work even harder to avoid that failure mode.

Imperial. In any case, this is helps visualize how incredibly modern IC fabrication and packaging is. The biggest CPUs have up to 40 billion transistors and the biggest flash chips have 2 trillion!

Typically in Hong Kong, Bedrooms for those kind of apartments are roughly 40-50 square feet. You can put a bed and a night stand and that's it.

Also a lot of 700 sq ft apartment with 3-4 bedrooms have 2 bathrooms which further reduces the total available space. It's quite common for a family of 5-6 (2 kids, parents plus grand parents) + 1 live-in helper to live in such an apartment. The live-in helper usually gets a windowless closet for her room (so around 21 sq ft) that's next to the kitchen (I have a hard time with the kind of living conditions offered to helpers but I guess it's really a shitty situation in terms of space for everyone). This is the living situation of a middle class family able to afford a 4,500 usd/month apartment and a 700 usd/month live-in helper (there's no daycare available in hk which is why a lot end up getting a live-in helper after having kids).
