This is very interesting.

For a site that currently runs the standard GA.js, AdWords, FB and Twitter pixels, if they switch to Zaraz, would you expect any numbers to change in GA/AdWords/FB etc...

For example:
- Would Ad Blockers handle Zaraz differently?
- Would the fact that it's loading in workers mean more/fewer pageviews fire due to load order changes?
As someone diagnosed with ADHD and taking medications for 2 years (started at age 30), but now trying to decide if it is worth it:

I believed the idea of imbalanced neurotransmitters readily, as you hear it from authoritative-sounding sources, until some reading made it clear that not only is it not true, that most serious practitioners know it is not true. I remember a talk by the author of "Mad in America" (obviously not an unbiased source) saying that when he discussed this with practitioners they said "of course we know the chemical imbalance hypothesis is not correct" and he said "well you forgot to tell the American public"... That really stuck with me.

Off topic to your comment, but germane to the thread:
I keep wrestling with this, but as I move beyond just reading abstracts and summaries of the research, I have to question the idea that ADHD is easily explainable, has any single cause, or is even manageable long term with stimulants [1][2][others, but I am still reading the literature].
I am still trying to answer questions I thought were clear: Does ADHD exist in a meaningful way[3]? If so do stimulants treat it long term [4]? If so at what cost[5]? I thought these were settled questions but the more I read the less convinced I become (I know there are many studies showing different results or debating the results of studies I have linked)... I just put these thoughts out there for anyone on a similar journey. Not to undermine anyone's personal experience; I tried many meds, some helped significantly but side effects ultimately made me stop, I do not doubt people have these symptoms (I do) and that medications have an effect. Good luck to you all! I appreciate reading everyone's input.

> “as unknown as MyType” usually works almost as well and avoids throwing you out into the cold untyped darkness.

No it doesn’t. You’re casting to `any` and hiding that fact. Both top types can be anything at all, `unknown` is only safer if you narrow it to something else by testing it. If you cast it to something else you’re just treating `unknown` as `any`.
What a great idea. Would per-instruction/opcode costs make this easier to optimize?

It seems most coders agree that variables, functions, files, columns, classes, etc. should have unambiguous, explicit, names. Writing `m[k] = v;` would not pass many code reviews. I don't see what makes generic types any different.
I recall that by default it is impossible, and you are expected to use 'sudo'. Of course that means you can also use 'sudo su'.
>We should. But it takes hours to cycle all the air in a room through one

hours? A random hepa filter I searched up costs $215, has an airflow rate of 246CFM , and is rated for coverage of 361 sq. ft. Assuming a room with that area and a ceiling height of 9ft, that works out to 3249 cubic feet. Dividing that by the airflow gets you 13.2 minutes, which is the time it takes to cycle the same amount of air as the room's volume.

Why you didn’t invest your own $’s if your algo is so good? Other peoples’ money I know.
Is that a real job? HFT is a scam. What about naked short selling (hft by other name )? Making money out of thin air? Selling something you don’t own? You did the hft for that too? What about GME now? 1.8 million missing shares . What your algos will do to the market? Crashing it?

Now the hedge funds are a joke, no? They aren't buying 50 million shares at 30c, nor $100, nor $300, and that's their problem. You can do hft all in nanoseconds - nothing is helping them. PRICE DOESN'T MATTER

How hft algo is helping the hedge funds now? The market will be never be the same , no hft , no newsletters , no apps will save it .

Not sure how your whataboutism invalidates the concern.
Every single sentence where you are not speaking solely about your home country is somewhat puzzling.

I don't even know where to begin and neither do I feel qualified to provide anything approaching a basic education on this long list of topics, considering my own ignorance. Not that it would fit in a single post.

Here's a rough list anyways:

- Insurgents aren't the same thing as terrorists. I don't think you want to suggest the Burmese military response to US military occupation will be to target their own civilian population.

- Your use of the word jihad(-ism) doesn't make sense in either its arabic meaning or in how it is commonly used in the west.

- Please don't try to define people by their religion, or ascribe a religion to them. The only ones who get to do that is the people themselves.

- Especially since religion is at best tangential to this whole situation.

- You seem to think Myanmar is some "tiny" country with an equally small military. It is not. Their current 'new' government is also not without potential allies. China doesn't appear to care who's at power in Myanmar, but they do depend on it being stable and probably won't just tolerate half a million US troops landing in their backyard to 'liberate' it.

- Colonialism is diametrically opposed to the idea of liberation.

- Neocolonialism (or "modern day colonialism") is also explicitly about everything but riding in with your military.

How busy are the streets? If they're not that busy, it's probably a non-issue from a viral load point of view. Both the exposure time (less than 10 seconds if you're just walking past) and the concentration (open air, easy to disperse) likely makes it less dangerous to a passer-by than a 5 minute bus/subway ride.

It's amazing and sad that so many comments in this thread are downvote grey. A controversial topic to say the least.

To those downvoting the "I don't trust Russia" comments: step back and realize that this is HN and not Parler. If the HN crowd is this skeptical, how would something like this go over with the broader American/UK/EU/etc. public? My guess is not well. Trust but verify is probably the only realistic scenario if this vaccine is to be used in the West without a (larger) political storm.
>Communism is awful in every form

Does not follow. If I can give you several examples of capitalist neo-liberals doing terrible things, then by this line of reasoning capitalism is bad in every form, right?

What economic aspect of China is particularly communist anyway? They wave a red flag around and call their president/prime minister/tsar/whatever a general secretary, but they clearly are or soon will have the most successful capitalist economy in human history.
Show HN: a Clubhouse for Remote Teams
I am building Tappy: a Clubhouse for remote teams. When people need to talk, our drop-in audio lets them spark a conversation with a single click.

Surprisingly, National Bureau of Economic Research data months into the pandemic shows that teams tried to bridge the distance by sending more emails—but that didn’t last.
Instead, there’s a now desire to talk more frequently for less time:
Teams are meeting 13% more often, for 20% less time.

That’s a step in the direction of the more fluid conversation, but we’re not there yet: the average meeting is still 48 minutes long.

We’ve been inspired by the growth of remote work, but at the same time, we’ve also seen teams struggling with lack of communication, delays in productivity, and isolation. We think that a real-time, frictionless connection can solve the problem.

Zoom fatigue is real. Video calls make everyone feel the way people on TV feel every slouchy, every mumble, every interruption is magnified. Drop-in audio talk lets remote teams spark a conversation with a single click.
Imo, as long as we can reasonably trust the data that it is safe, we should give it to as many people as we can. When it later turns out not to be particularly effective we can still use a second vaccine. It's not like the Oxford vaccine is all that effective.
In either case this is all a moot point because you don't have to go full GNU to provide source code to paying customers. This still happens in some enterprise situations with contracts in place to assign legal liability for sharing the code for free to other people while still respecting the freedom of the software users to have access to the source code.
Enough of that is funny 'cause it's true or sad but true. I work at a big co but not a full-on enterprise corp. I value my own time and work, more-or-less in alignment with broader initiatives. Learning new things and technical challenges makes the journey interesting, and it's fun/easy to get work done with most people. Sometimes I have varying degrees of communications (tech vs non-tech or grok/non-grok conceptual) issues but for the most part leadership has enough technical sense to make decent choices. So far, so good.

I'm not sure why you're acting like this is just something that came out of the blue and hit RH without any possible warning. They purposefully courted new, low information traders and gamified trading. Even before GME you could find complaints and warnings about how Robinhood was gamifying trading. And now they're surprised that this results in new trader behavior? Come on.

To complete the analogy, this is like deciding to go out and do unnecessary driving after midnight on new years eve. Maybe they're not legally at fault if they get hit by a drunk driver, but they sure as hell put themselves at a higher risk of this happening.
It actually does get patched through firmware updates.

After reading the article, I'd probably accept the vaccine if offered it. The author of the article did.

That's actually something we did notice a couple of times! Depending your audience, ad-blockers could be causing your data to be missing a significant amount of your visitors. With Zaraz loading those tools on "Cloud Load", i.e., server-to-server, you might end up seeing those visitors again. Also, because everything gets loaded so fast, you do get information from visits that previously didn't make it before the page was closed. This could be a little confusing at the beginning - you might see a higher bounce rate for example, but it's not because more people are bouncing, it's because now you actually know about it. @AlexeyMK wrote a very nice piece explaining this: http://alexeymk.com/2020/07/14/lies-damn-list-and-front-end-...

I'm going to repost a comment I made a couple years ago because it's still 100% relevant:

------

Incredible that Google has been able to sustain almost 20% revenue growth for so long - much longer than most people expected.
For the past 6 or 7 years people have been predicting that Google's growth would soon slow because:

(a) The number of ads on a search result page had reached saturation point

(b) The percentage of people using the internet in rich countries had reached saturation point

Although real, these effects have proved to be outweighed by other, less limited factors of growth; in particular Google's ability improve the quality of match between advertiser and user. Even now I think there is significant room for Google to improve this matching - eg. when I put an iPad Pro in my online shopping basket at apple.com but don't buy it, why don't I then see iPad ads on YouTube? When I give Tesla $1,000 to reserve but not buy a Model 3, why don't I then see Model 3 ads reading The New York Times? Apple and Tesla are leaving money on the table, and when they wake up Google will make even more money
So it is basically the same... except that you can't share pictures, videos, or other file types? I wonder why you need a DAVx5-like app with EteSync if that is all it does?
Just a couple days ago I was going through all kinds of things I made when I was 18. That was almost 20 years ago, and I had VB6 projects and a blog (we called them E/N sites, the word blog wasn't coined yet). The VB6 projects were AOL "progs"--things that interacted with AOL chat, mostly. For the blog, I started with html, then .shtml (server-side-includes), then discovered php. Built a whole CMS using flatfiles, which was the only thing I knew, then rebuild with a database...

I have full source of ALL of that!

I also discovered linux in that time, and one post mentioned running Mandrake 7.2--which I doubt was the first version I ran.

Those skills eventually turned into jobs. And some of my peers who were doing the same thing turned into lifelong, important friendships.

Anyway, just reminiscing. I had more fun computing in those few years than I've had in the whole time since. And even though it was for fun, it was easily some of the best-spent time in my life for $$$ in the future.

Not that I buy into this, but I can imagine being able to communicate using low bit-rate representations of a few archetypes and patterns/flavors of relations. Each receiver would reconstruct a different reimagining but should share some key elements when there's a 'connection' otherwise not.
Because that is basically what happened. There is a reason why WSB and GME have been in the news. It's because what happened is surprising. Sure, in hindsight, you can identify causes for the phenomenon. But if you rewind back to January 1, I don't think most of us would have predicted this at any level of certainty beyond a theoretical possibility.

I agree with you that Robinhood did put itself at higher risk of this happening, but I don't think that means they did something wrong. Just like I don't think most people would blame the innocent driver in your hypothetical. Who, if we were to make the analogy more applicable, might be an Uber driver trying to make some extra cash.

>even when licensing vaccine from Russia would benefit EU

Sanctions would have no point if they were abandoned whenever they would benefit the sanctioning country. Most (arguably all) trade between the EU and Russia would benefit the EU too, but the belief is that the harm to Russia is more severe and more likely to bring about political and diplomatic changes.
Getting rid of commission was actually probably a bad idea. It creates an expectation that a very complicated service should be free, and puts a lot of pressure on now free brokerages to find a new revenue source. There's a reason why RH is accused of helping Citadel front run their own customers.

This seems to me a lot like when VC backed startups artificially suppress prices below break even to push out competitors, with the intent to raise prices even more later. It's good for the consumer while they can get VC subsidized goods and services, then very bad for the consumer once the VC funds dry up.
