This looks cool, I especially like the "intuitive" longest line algorithm.

~6 years ago I was trying to build a dashboard that displayed real-time measurements from a beehive. The sensors would take temperature, weight, humidity, etc. Back then I used simplify.js [0] which uses two simplification algorithms in two passes. The more compute intensive one is the Ramer Douglas Peucker algorithm [1]. One issue I had with streaming data is that new data points could change the past line, at least with my naive implementation. I'd love to see a real-time / streaming time series simplification algorithm where the past points don't appear to change wildly despite continuing to downsample.

maybe a and b are connected? You can't have the ultra rich or at least such a discrepancy between the top 10% and the bottom xx% without built-in systemic inequality. Nonetheless, it wouldn't hurt the US at all if the poorest had more support.
I got an an offer to give me five star reviews for a modest fee. When that happened I had a look around to see what I could do to report them to stop their behaviour. I found absolutely nothing. Much like when the algorithmic banhammer hits you, the options for actively communicating with Google in a meaningful manner are close to non-existent.
I think people should be able to license under whatever they choose to license under. Diversity is good for the most part.

The farther you are away from the top schools, the less the faculty are likely to see you as a potential peer or someone who might inherit or carry on their legacy. Combined with control over funding this produces a dangerous power dynamic.
But foreigners can be white too (Europe, Russia, Asia) with all the implications, so the OP’s skin color is not relevant here.
I get the asymmetry in power but I also feel that imbalance is fair because the power is earned, by creating value for others and being successful in the market. There are also different companies competing with each other and creating choice for both labor and consumers (and where there isn't competition, we should enforce anti-trust laws).

What I don't get is how unions are any different from the kind of local monopoly we dislike in cable companies, or a cartel (when a union operates broadly across an industry). They inhibit competition and choice, and limit liquidity in the labor market through their policies. They override individual freedoms - and I don't mean just for the corporation who is forced into a contract with them, but also because they force everyone else who wants to work to join their organization and pay dues. Often time, paying dues also means supporting these organizations' activities that go beyond bargaining for working conditions or wages. For example, the NEA (the main teachers union, which is the largest union in the US) frequently engages in politics and adopts progressive political positions as their official positions/guiding principles. This type of monolithic centralization feels undesirable to me for the same reason monopolies feel undesirable.

In my opinion, the balance would be better if we let people organize without reprisal but requiring that what results is simply a separate entity (a separate company) who is selling their labor and has to survive based on their economic competitiveness. That way there is still choice and competition in labor.

As for the dire picture you paint of favelas - maybe there's some minimum safety net we need to provide (which we have in the form of welfare, SNAP, and more). But if we're talking about generational issues - I also feel people should not have children if they cannot afford to raise them well. Otherwise, what we're saying is that people can keep supplying unskilled laborers and the rest of society is obligated to employ them at certain wages or otherwise support them. That seems unfair to me in a different way.
Because US corporations want access to China's market, which is 2x-4x the size of the US's. Criticizing China or the CPC will get them expelled.
This is called stereotype threat and there is clear publication bias in the literature. It's not replicating well in pre registered trials: https://replicationindex.com/tag/stereotype-threat-and-women...
it's like commenting on hackernews for me. which you will never hear about.
I think there's an assumption here that needs to be addressed, and that's that Google functions as a single entity with consistent and coherent policies and actions across all its arms.

Just because something is not in the best interest of Google overall or long term down not mean a small fiefdom is doing something different for their own self interest, even if only temporarily until it is eventually discovered and corrected.

For example, almost all your statements about Google above are incorrect for at least one business they've been involved for, for at least part of the time they've been in it. Often it's easy for find multiple counter examples.

As a whole, Google follows those statements you made, but for any specific business they are in I wouldn't make a blind wager about it.
As we all know, how things are in CA does not evenly apply to the other 49.
>I'd suggest you look at how documentaries like "What the Bleep Do We Know" and "The Principle" are created out of editing together unrelated emotionally impactful set pieces and out of context statements from authorities and otherwise valid sources.

That's a false equivalency and doesn't apply to this very well researched and excellently presented mini documentary. If that were the case it wouldn't have received over 62000 likes and over 1 million views, so don't insult people's intelligence with your pseudo intellectual 'critique' by making hand wavy allegations without pointing out anything specific to which it actually applies in the content.

>This video is using all the same editing techniques as you would to push geocentricism and make it look like Michio Kaku is onboard with it. That's why they include crap like a The Winter Soldier from Marvel being interrogated and random clips from Mulan, while giving quotes that can't use an entire sentence of before being forced to use a jump cut.

Wow you don't like the editing, could you be more shallow and desperate in your defence of the ccp's genocide? The video is excellent in its approach to deliver an important topic in an entertaining and engaging manner, that's why it has successfully reached a greater audience. Your 'criticism' is a joke.
Great news! Congrats

Supply Chain Tool/Site
There was a supply chain tool that someone posted a few weeks back and i can't find it. I think it was posted under show HN with a title with keywords of supply chain and covid project.

From what i remember it was a slick site where you could input a company name and see what/where their supply chain comes from.

Does anyone have the link to it?
Myths about the video game industry and game developer jobs
fastmail.com is a small company with a vastly superior UI to gmail.
When I was younger and training very heavily in some sports, I experimented a bit with different diets. Bottom-line the more meat heavy my diet, the faster I would heal from injuries -- radically so. For a while I went on a low-carb diet and ate a very heavy animal protein diet. I shed pounds, had absolutely unstoppable stamina, had far fewer injuries, stretching improved, basically never bruised, and healed from sports injuries that would have taken weeks in days. I felt like Wolverine.

I also felt like a grease grenade all the time and got tired of the diet which is why I stopped, but it was definitely superhuman for me.

I felt the worst in this sports context was when I experimented with a vegan/vegetarian diets. The effects were virtually the exact opposite. I'm sure with a nutritionist and more dedication I could have overcome many of these issues, but I found building a decent diet harder and required more effort.
Are you referring to Janus v AFSCME?

Which renewables are producing PM10 emissions?

The problem of renewables is not the power they can produce, but how to handle intermittency. Better electricity networks are one part of the solution, batteries can be as well.

Even with 50% renewables Germany has one of the most stable electricity networks in the world.

Also in the traditional base-peaked system you still need peeking power plants and you have problems with weather effects (in summer water in rivers can get too warm to use it or dry up, in winter it can freeze)
I think attitudes changed a lot in the late 90s/early 00s.

The Internet suddenly became a big thing, PCs massively growing in popularity, and the image of gaming was changing, becoming a less nerdy pastime with the arrival of the Playstation.

Not really sure if it encouraged a more diverse set of youngsters to develop a serious interest in computing though, as by then we'd already got to the point where 'learning to use a computer' now meant Word+Excel rather than BASIC or LOGO
So why can't you just write your language support library in whatever language you like, wrap that in something that supports the C ABI if it doesn't already, then call that from your editor? If you're going to use a language server, then you have to write code to call the LSP. Why not just call a library?

Why does there need to be a server involved? Why does there need to be pipes, or network traffic involved? LSP defines that JSON-RPC is to be used as the communications layer. Why does JSON have to be involved?

A library naming convention could have just as easily been written which allows all the things an LSP allows. Just name the methods in your language support library the same way everyone else is and then anyone can call your library and gain support for your language. This is the same thing that's happening with language servers, except it's much cleaner and more straightforward than language servers.

What people are doing is writing their language support library in whatever language they like, then wrapping that in a JSON-RPC wrapper with the proper LSP stuff on it. Now the editors have to implement an LSP client when they already had the ability to call libraries provided via the C ABI.

Sure editors only need one piece of code to call any LSP server, but they didn't need any more code to call a library.
If those editors don't implement the LSP calling code themselves, and rely on a library, they still have to call a library that they are using the LSP to avoid doing in the first place.

Nothing about LSPs enable anything that wasn't possible before. Nothing about LSPs makes anything that was possible before any simpler. It all just adds crap to the chain and everyone is calling it a "win." It's not a win. It's a loss. It's adding complexity and layers where they don't need to be, for no discernable benefit. Language support people still have to write language support code. Editor people still have to write editor support code. Except now they do it with new protocols they can add to their resume. This is resume-oriented development, that's all.
Leading Venture Studio Looking for Aspiring Founders with B2B SaaS Ideas
I suspect we gutted our middle class with globalization. Any jobs that could be exported overseas for cheaper were, and management was rewarded for saving investors so much money by outsourcing those jobs. If we had a stronger collective identity (as with many European countries) we might've felt a kinship or patriotic duty to protect those jobs or otherwise redistribute the wealth garnered by outsourcing. And I'm not optimistic that this will get better given how much Americans are being primed to reject any collective national or even human identity and instead identify with their race and party.
forgive me for pulling such a large quote out, but it just glows:

> “Don’t ever underestimate a craftsman,” he emphasizes, “because they’re highly disciplined, highly trained, very determined individuals. I’m a real advocate of traditional apprenticeships. I don’t think you could be good at this job other than by doing it as an apprenticeship. Doing it as an apprenticeship teaches you humility. One of the people I worked with said, ‘Somebody who never made a mistake never made anything.’ Processing bog oak went so wrong, so often; you could take the view that it’s a waste of time. Or you can say, ‘I’ve applied myself to this in the wrong way, so what can I do to do it right?’ A craftsman accepts that they’ve made a mistake. Then, rather than saying, ‘That’s a stupid idea,’ or ‘This is impossible,’ they say ‘What did I do wrong and what have I got to do to make it work?’”

chef's kiss this is sage and serious advice, well told
Do people really have a hard time remembering their phone numbers, which are relatively private?

Having one's date of birth signalled to the world is an obvious breach of privacy in the modern age, and since there is obviously no need for it, it shouldn't be used.

That you have 'never heard of a concern' not hugelry if there are obviously people who are going to take umbrage - moreover - in this new information world order it can be used for all sorts of shady reasons.

There's clearly no need of it.

Why reduce it to a single line when you can paint hulls around your curve? For coarser intervals you can also use candle stick charts.
Is that the case here though?

I like your "disclose your way to arbitrary medical experiments" analogy. Things can't be just black and white. That said... who is buying Hertz stock during bankruptcy proceedings?

I don't see why this exploits vulnerable people in particular. As the op says, it's a real gamblers' trade.

Anyway, I think it's an insider-ish trading question. Selling stock once you already know the price to be zero is a step too far.
This may literally be the first time in history someone recommended San Francisco be more like Dubai.

Genuine question - when you're in the bay, do you spend time in any of the following: Pac Heights / Presidio Heights / Seacliff / Woodside / St. Helena / West Palo Alto / Stanford's Campus / Saratoga?

I think the reason you have the perception that you do is that the bay area is one of the least tourist-friendly locations in the world, frankly because the class you talk about loathes outsiders.

EDIT: A great microcosm of this is Sand Hill Road. Looks like less than nothing from the street, but it's home to some of the most expensive and nicest office real estate in the world. Apple HW stands out as another great example.
Time to cancel this thread. Haters and flamers having too much fun.
Disney is one of the major custodians of America's warm and fuzzy childhood memories with all the cross industry IPs they have made over the decades. Combine that with Disney investing billions in new IP like Marvel or Star Wars and all the possible synergies between their old and new IPs and their success was more or less guaranteed.

I think once the movie industry totally abandons the movie theatre first mindset, streaming services will become industry powerhouses that will define movies and tv series for decades to come.

I'm mostly pro-blockchain but I understand the HN stance because every crappy idea has its pumpers who will defy logic and reason and they infest everywhere that doesn't delete them. It's asymmetrical, they make millions by pumping crap and you lose by either reading it or having to take the time to delete it.

Until the legit blockchain space can call out scams (from Iota to Tether) the entire thing is rightly tainted.

That said, you can generally get a good discussion of a type of tech (ie, NFTs for concert tickets) if you avoid the branded implementations (that are always trying to sell some crappy token for use with the idea.)

Yeah, that makes sense. The automatic braking has never triggered for me, but the collision warning triggers pretty regularly (probably at least once a week) on one part of my commute, right around going uphill here https://goo.gl/maps/r7LpqzHq3Wqg6N8S7 where the system thinks I'm about to hit the parked white van, instead of realizing that the road is curved.

* Improved safety and a system for reporting safety issues without fear of retaliation

* Improved working conditions in general: many amazon warehouses are not airconditioned and get so hot in the summers they park an ambulance outside for when someone collapses from heat stroke.

* Job security. currently you can be fired without cause, or with causes like falling behind on the absurd production quotas. With a union you have due process to protect your job.

* More breaks (imagine only getting ONE break, 4 hours into the work day). I'm a healthy, able bodied person, but what if I need to pee more than once in 4 hours?

* Contractual pay and benefits. Sure they pay $15/hr now and offer benefits. What's stopping them from cutting that wage or cutting those benefits if costs from another sector cut into profits? Nothing
So true. This is why the US is so much better than Asia.

What worries me however is how there are more and more laws and regulation to not let people crash and burn - like forcing people to have health insurance. Stupid code for building houses - etc

EDIT: and I'm not being sarcastic. I admire how by taking the correct decision to apparently sacrifice the poor, we have made the pie bigger for everyone including the poor (unfortunately, as noted by a comment below about Des Moines, building code is quickly changing that)
AI-Powered Surveillance for Businesses
A business needs a security camera, but is low on server capacity. Thatswhy the business can not store videos 24/7.

Solution:
Using Machine Learning, we can tell the camera when it has objects in view and use a lightweight backend to store the timestamps and also the type of objects which where detected.

Anyone can build a car factory, you don't have to go to Ford and buy a lot of toy cars that they made a long time ago. You just have to hire the right people and build it.

Anyone can build a space rocket factory, you don't have to go to NASA and buy a lot of Moon rocks they collected a long time ago. You just have to hire the right people and build it.

You have to be Elon-Musk-rich to do any of them anyway.
The opt-out applies only to T-Mobile, the data collection applies to everything connected to the T-Mobile network.
Sure, at 400 interviews, you'd get decent. But that's my point! Do you want to hire people who are good at the job, or do you want people who are good at interviewing?
> Increasingly, the "if you're not paying then you're the product" saying is bunk. I am paying, almost $400 per month, for quite a few SIMs to be active on T-Mobile's network yet that's not enough. They have to harvest data about me for even more.

I think the corrected slogan would be:

If you're not paying, you're certainly the product. If you are paying, you still might be.
It's highly possible that Google has some concept of freezing reviews while it investigates something. Maybe that business was caught buying reviews and so Google stopped allowing new ones for a while. Or it reported it was getting spammed. Or some other situation like that.

Women have different incentives. Having a career is not really necessary and the reasons to have one are different.
Us men need to compete with each other to be the best providers. Women just need to pick one of us, and then their goal is to retain that man in their lives. Having a career does not factor much into that. Especially having a high stress career would maybe even hurt such goals.
Some men and some women get so caught up spinning the hamster wheel, that they loose track of why they are spinning the wheel in the first place. But most of us in general are aware of the reasons.

The federal eviction moratorium has been overturned as unconstitutional, a court concluding "that the federal government's Article I power to regulate interstate commerce and enact laws necessary and proper to that end does not include the power to impose the challenged eviction moratorium." (Notice that Terkel vs CDC was a declaratory judgment on the constitutional question of the Commerce Clause, while earlier cases upholding the moratorium challenged it on the premise the CDC exceeded its authority, or that its use of that authority was an unlawful delegation of legislative power. Litigation will probably continue.)

If the government tried went beyond that to a rent moratorium, they'd definitely lose. It would be a "Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts," explicitly forbidden in the Constitution. Like, the original Constitution, not even an amendment: the Constitutional Convention forbade it even before they guaranteed the freedom of religion and of speech.

How to put this factually...

Discourse about bias usually makes strong distinctions between groups that are known have relative positions of power in their society (because this discourse is mostly held in Western culture, that usually boils down to "white heterosexual christian-adjacent men") and minority/disenfranchised groups (women, religious minorities, ethnic minorities, LGBT people, etc).

Progressive groups are perceived to get extremely testy when it's suggested that minority groups might benefit from / majority groups might suffer from systemic effects in some ways.
Ah, you may not be aware of this. Collagen supplements are trendy with the wellness crowd as a protein powder, and bone broth is too under closely related reasoning. People who buy these things are thinking, "I want my skin and tissues to be healthier, so I'm going to buy collagen or bone water that is full of it."

This study seems like it bolsters the reasoning. The market for both of these options is currently closed off to vegans.
