According to Business Insider[1]:

"The results are aggregated from hundreds of sources, including DuckDuckGo's own web crawler, along with Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, specialty services like Wolfram Alpha, and others."

DDG's help website[2]:

"DuckDuckGo gets its results from over four hundred sources. These include hundreds of vertical sources delivering niche Instant Answers, DuckDuckBot (our crawler) and crowd-sourced sites (like Wikipedia, stored in our answer indexes). We also of course have more traditional links in the search results, which we also source from multiple partners, though most commonly from Bing (and none from Google)."

Clearly, they get their search results from a wide variety of sources including their own crawler. But it sounds like they do rely heavily on Bing.

> How to fix the foster system: This is a really tough one, but I think more emphasis should be placed on putting foster kids inside existing families, if possible.

I currently have three bio-kids. The wife and I have been talking about fostering or running an orphanage. Hmmm. I've never really considered how much it would benefit the foster children to experience a healthy home.

I was told by my Aunt that fostering kids that they weren't supposed to 'get attached' but I never realized this as apart of the process b/c she always broke the rule, lol.

Caring and attachment is extremely important. IMHO, this training (to not grow attached) is the source of the problem. There is numerous research studies about the importance of healthy attachment to nurture the development of a human into the next stage of their life.

Naur's emphasis on "personal advice" reminds me of Bloom's 2 sigma effect https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom%27s_2_sigma_problem

"the average tutored student was above 98% of the students in the control class"

I guess "personal advice" is teaching the code's theory, and much better than learning from a one-off textbook (i.e. documentation).
If only the groups that warned us about big tech had had the sort of support say the EFF has.
If you are in that situation it's probably even worse for the child than not keeping track of all this data. Stress from the mother during pregnancy can and does affect the development of the child:

My wife took maternity leave from 3 months before her due date for this very reason. I understand not everyone can, but it baffles my mind that often those who are able to, choose to continue to work rather than taking time off to care for themselves and their unborn child.
the US is becoming a risky place to host your infra.

you can be deplatformed on a whim, as a result of petty internal ideological resistance anywhere in your supply chain. no infrastructure partner will go to bat for you, they'd rather forgo your money in favor of passing a regime's purity test

you might also be subject to sweeping legislation that allows the US govt to act against you if you are not politically aligned

if this continues, the US will be an unfavorable jurisdiction for infrastructure. its just easier to find a less charged environment where you have clarity

Interesting to see a reference both to Moxer Technologies and Dan Gelbart's prototyping videos in this post. Is the author from Vancouver?
> I don’t know if you’ve lived on the west coast and worked in tech

No. I don’t live in the US and don’t work in tech. I work in healthcare and have done so in the private sector and public sector. I don’t think you have pay a an amazing amount to get good people. Decent conditions go a very long way. My public sector pay isn’t worse than my private pay, and depending on how you measure it, the public pay may be better.

Would I be right in thinking that your healthcare experience was all private sector?

I'm not a historian but you're clearly turning this into a political issue (by talking about CA/OR as the origin). Instead, let's focus on the policies.

I was in Florida (mostly GOP ran) and they had similar training. These policies (to not be attached) sounds very wrong, especially when numerous studies support attachment parenting as the best way to nurture child development.

Let's focus on the a mutually agreed problem (shit training) and work towards a better solution through better policies that either experiment with attachment or outright support it.
I think integrity might be what you're aiming toward. When people are taught to live integrous lives and manage to do so, they are more able to see a lack of integrity when it comes.

Census blocks are intentionally bounded by geographical features such as roads and are not intended to be of uniform size. Census blocks are intended as an organizational unit for census data and not necessarily for any comparative use, such as this website makes, since it's clear that the demographics of blocks will vary widely depending on location, size, etc.

Historically census blocks were determined in the field as an early stage of enumeration based on local conventions, but today they're defined semi-automatically from GIS data. Still, what exactly defines a block and what is typical of them varies widely from place to place.

Blocks are the lowest level of the hierarchy in which census data is organized, next being block groups and then tracts.

I think he's exaggerating for effect. Properly sized steppers have more than enough margin for rapid movement on hobby machines without losing steps ( Video example at 1000ipm: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wSmXfnm6C/ ).

Skipped steps are only a problem if the machine is tuned wrong, like you said, or the steppers are too undersized to keep up.

People tend to underestimate the strength of common NEMA23 steppers while overestimating the cutting forces they need. Most hobby machines don't have enough rigidity or spindle power to require more than a few pounds of lateral cutting force.
In that context, this sure was unexpected: https://alexbeals.com/projects/colorize/search.php?q=medium
Is there any actual value in doing quantitative finance via TF as opposed to just Pandas? I get that calculating a zillion option prices on a GPU is faster, but does anyone actually do that? Not to mention that dataframes (both conceptually, and in practice) seem much more mature and easier to grok than tensors.
I think you might not understand what science is. It's a process . It's making observations and proving a theory. When you burn your hand on the stove and make the theory that the stove caused your hand to be burned and don't do it again. That's science.

OP here: Teknic Clearpath servos are considered good value and come in lots of different sizes/price points. Wiring them up could not be simpler, but know that you need a windows computer to tune them.

If you are comfortable with soldering, motor sizing, and python, you can pick up an ODrive control board and some sort of position sensor and turn almost any motor into a servo motor.
Over time they will probably start requesting a lot more information ... basically anything that the IRS would find useful is in play here.

It probably makes sense to start out by not asking for too much data in order not to scare people for what's coming down the line.

> Because it's not really a question at all, it's a sarcastic question

It's not sarcastic, it's serious and that's the point.

Obviously they don't have 100% retention, so this question might open them up to talk about their retention instead of saying "no, it's fine like it is".

It doesn't matter how good your retention currently is, if the product can boost it even by a couple of percent it would probably pay for itself many times over.

I think you could make the argument that saying "no, we don't need it" before even trying to understand the value prop is just as demeaning.
This seems intended to shield corporate executives from criminal liability. Am I wrong?
I was going to point out Kaiser, an HMO that provides both insurance and services. It's reputation is mixed. HMOs like that, or maybe the VA, would be perfect customers because their interests are mode aligned. Private practice doctors, not so much.
Next week on HN:

Show HN: zoom-dewatermarker (github.com)

Seriously though, I doubt what Zoom is adding (specifically for audio) is anything that new. Does anyone have experience removing this type of stuff? Would something like a bandpass filter for say, 100 Hz-15 kHz work?
From your source:

>In the campaign, Burr’s character was savagely attacked by Hamilton and others, and after the election he resolved to restore his reputation by challenging Hamilton to a duel, or an “affair of honor,” as they were known.

Emphasis mine. Burr killing Hamilton had no effect on the outcome of the election, which was already over and decided. Also, Hamilton agreed to the duel.

Trump incited the mob to attack people he saw as opponents, which included Mike Pence. He spoke of saving the country from a rigged election, which heavily implies changing the results of the election. And I really doubt the politicians hiding in rooms behind armed security had agreed to dueling an angry mob.
> No memory safety in D though.

Not true. Even ignoring the GC we have compiler checked semantics for an increasingly large subset of features, and the language has had ways of managing code that is safe, unsafe, or trusted for years and years now.

43% of US poor voting for Trump (from your own link) is just going to be ignored?

By the way, you never addressed most of my original post, rather resorting to picking off one part with a snarky comment, somehow implying that it's obvious that censorship is the way to go and it's not worthy of debate.
In 2021, western democracy will continue to be attacked from within and from the outside. Especially with the US in pandemonium, Putin and the CCP will no doubt exploit the opportunity.

Then there is the thought-policing of big tech and social media. 2021 is definitely shaping up to be a crucial year, a time when people need to wake up, get informed and defend freedom while they still have it.

The justice department tried to count all the federal criminal laws once. The best they could come up with was a rough estimate, and that didn't even include state or local laws. There are literally so many criminal laws now that no one is able to count them all, let alone understand them.

Instead of that, perhaps the US consumers are simply being overcharged?
I did read through it, but perhaps I was too hasty. The overall tone felt a little off.
The meaning of that is that there is no central authority nor uniformity for antifa or BLM groups.

Everybody can start their own antifa group because all that takes is opposing fascism, that's the only unifying factor there.

It's the same with BLM: It's not some kind of ideology with international governing institutions, it's a call to a cause very much like antifa.

It's simply opposition to fascism/police violence without even much unity on with what to replace it.

His issue wasn’t a lack of friends. His problem, which lead to alcoholism, was explained to me by his former colleagues, primarily Doug Hay. Katz turned to his mother for comfort following Walter’s death. Unfortunately for him and his firm, he received none.

His buy-out of her shares was a poorly communicated effort to remove the business from between them and to attempt to salvage their familial bond. Hildegard instead saw it as a financial assault on herself and resorted to communicating with her own son through lawyers, even after the transaction was completed.

This piece paints her with typical maternal instinct and filial interest despite evidence neither existed once she saw her son’s ability to write, and then subsequently delete, her financial future. Given her reputation was well known I struggle to understand why she was repeatedly given this benefit of the doubt.

HN is small but self-selects to have people who tend to care about what they do so anytime I find myself thinking that for any topic it usually turns out I'm wrong.

Let's take this a step further. What if the Democrats are, as QAnon suggests, indeed baby-blood-drinking monsters who perform human sacrifices for the glory of Beelzebub, and the only way to stop them is immediate action by patriots?

Sure, there's no systemic evidence that this is taking place, but what if there was?

Surely, baselessly and self-servingly casting doubt on the legitimacy of the electoral process in a democracy is a small price to pay, to protect ourselves from the possibility that our immortal souls will be handed over to an Ekronic demon.
We're talking about the context of a cold call here. It's extraordinary unlikely for something that is genuinely beneficial to me to come to my attention via a cold call. Maybe your product is actually good, but there's a wave of pushy salesmen trying to sell snake oil via these types of channels. At best, you've got a very tough job to make a sale to a business under those conditions. I don't know about the typical business, but that kind of talk isn't going to keep me on the line.

I mean, should be as easy as recording your own zoom call with the Watermark enabled and a well known audio track (a metronome, dead silence, etc). Rip audio from the recording and examine it for anything outside of the metronome.

Probably need to do this several times for different participants and meetings to get an idea of what the watermark looks like and where in the spectrum it sits.
Further down the page, they explicitly call out CNC applications. ("IQ motors are smoother, quieter, and more efficient than stepper motors, and they will never skip a step or get lost.")

They are basically a stepper motor from the application's point of view, but with some of the advantages of a servo, as far as I can tell.

> Do you notice how that starts me, as someone who is firmly anti-censorship, off on the defensive as you seem to view me as an insincere or stupid bad guy?

Please note that I said most, not all of people are like that. I am anti-censorship too. I'm not offended by the idea that Twitter is a business and is allowed to choose who they conduct business with. I at least understand if you want to make something anti-censorship, then you need to plan ahead to make it difficult to censor.

This means if I create a platform for free speech, that I'm not going to put all my eggs into one basket and hope for the best. No where did Twitter ever claim to be the platform of anti-censorship.

I believe being anti-censorship is more of an ideology that requires action. As a Linux user, I'd personally find it odd to see someone claim to be anti-censorship while using Windows or Mac. Both of which IMO are built on the centralization of ideas, and limit expression to proprietary platforms.

I think the idea of anti-censorship is great, but that it is something that needs built through software and tools by people that believe in the concept, not by having the government regulate companies to force it into being.
Dont be so hard on HN, I would say given how niche the actual article topic is, the more generic discussion about software estimation is both relevant and relatable.
Or... you know, we can just not patronize these services.

Nobody is holding a gun to our heads.

Many today argue that the internet is largely unusable if we block all the FAANG hostnames, and for many this may be true, but it's becoming less and less of a sacrifice every day to disconnect from these massive centralized blobs.

I understand many people feel an unquenchable urge to legislate these kinds of things into being, but we really cannot "will" things like this into existence. It's, actually, much easier to incentivize and promote a practical means towards adoption. In our case, we need to begin promoting technologies that promote decentralizing and owning our own communications protocols.
Basically "asking for a handout" because it's all he's got.

There's a lot of that on twitter. I wish I knew how people turned that into money. It's nothing I've ever figured out, though I'm frequently in a pickle financially.

Doing it is illegal, advocating for it is explicitly legal. Most of this discussion is about the latter.
