I'm not fond of big nested menus in general either, but they are good for quick exploration and can be pretty forgiving of poor categorization.

I do wonder if sometimes the nested nav is too in-between. Maybe the solution is not to try to squeeze it all into that structure but make "finding the page I want" to be a more top-level experience. EG don't take me to a Category Page, but do let me select a category and start drilling down, whilst keeping it easy to switch between top level categories.

Big nested navs are often just ... fiddly.

Wait this is the 2020 SE? I.e. an iPhone 8, not even the older one? I'm even more surprised because the Mini exists now as a first-class citizen. Apple has historically been good about making sure all approved apps provide a good experience on all the devices that they should; I wonder why they've dropped the ball on this one

The approach as described has one major downside. It is based on presumption that human players will employ the same strategies as a neural network which learned to play the game. It may be the case, but in reality many imbalances in the game model remain undiscovered or unused by the real players, for various reasons.

The good example of ML for playtesting is what King is doing with their Candy Crash Saga. They have trained neural network on real world usage data, from millions of players. That makes it behave like a real player too, not pathetically weak, and not inhumanely strong. This, if applicable for your game, is a better way to leverage ML.

There are other examples of neural networks finding highly unorthodox strategies in various games, when they learning to play it. It is nothing like human behaviour.
That may fit professional relationships, but close informal relationships demand more-intimate problem solving. That doesn't always mean suggesting obvious things, but thinking a problem through aloud can help.

Plus, friends don't always know exactly how they can help. Airing laments can collect solutions without having to catalog each others' resources and limitations or trespassing on power structures, like in a workplace.

That's awesome - sounds like you have an amazing degree of introspection: you understand what you are like and you know how to manage through that.

Btw one reason companies ask interviewees about their weaknesses is not because the answer matters but because it shows whether a person thinks about what they are like, or not. Eg if someone ever said what you said "one of my weaknesses is that I freak out in the first 5 mins but I learned to work around that" - a real green flag that you are an excellent person to work with.
Not supporting people jumping to bad conclusions or being toxic, but it's worth pointing out the author said this is the 2020 SE. Which is to say the body of an iPhone 8, not a 5. Which is to say roughly the same size as all iPhones before the X (and larger than the brand-new Mini!). That's not <1% of iPhone users, especially considering how long iPhones last. My parents are still doing fine with their 6Ses.

Edit: I was wrong about the mini being smaller; it's somewhat larger than the 8/SE

My far relatives (but still the same last name) drilled oil in Romania before you could even call it really drilling, it was more like bucketing from what I was told. Maybe it was a bit exaggerated though the job was probably quite dangerous anyway as my relative almost burned to death. He was really lucky to survive with the burns he had - almost his whole skin was gone. The positive thing was, he grew a continuous layer of new skin and until his death looked very young.

It doesn't seem Romania is drilling much these days, more like refining imported crude oil before exporting the products. Judging from what was left of a different communist regime the last 30 years haven't been easy but most people seem to be much, much better off now than before the fall of the iron curtain probably also compared to the general QoL development in the world, I haven't looked up any statistics but it definitely seems like it. The quality standards now are much higher in every respect, the work in a factory is much safer for the workers. You are usually looking at many years of retirement even when you generally retire later where I hear stories about people from factories dying quite early probably because of the working conditions, many small injuries over the lifetime, fumes, dirt, smoking everywhere and all the time etc. If you get injured at work in Germany and haven't done anything against the protocols, it is a big problem for the company - you will be compensated usually very well for your trouble. Companies try to avoid injuries as well as they can in my experience on seeing the shop floors of a steel foundry, where safety really matters, else you are likely to get hurt fatally.

That said, no corporation is always doing the smart thing from the business or management perspective. There is usually internal politics, management strategies and more involved. There are also more and less competent people at every position. Maybe OMV should have kept some of the specialists and maybe educate them about the modern technology and methods. Generally the previous regimes were not very efficient with personnel and other resources so it is really hard to say what OMV should have really done.

Show HN: AdBlock-Decoder, a helpful tool to extract domains from a filter list
A lot of people implement NVC wrong and it becomes a codeword to divert the results of the discussion to /dev/null. “I’d like that we solve X” => “So I hear X makes you feel really bad, right?” => “Yes exactly, what can we do about it” => “Can you tell me more about X?” and so on. In fact, I have not seen people who talk about NVC and are able to listen to my request (well listen they do, but “act upon” they don’t). It becomes a passive strategy to soothe the other while avoiding what he needs, and yet, still rephrase it perfectly.

To counter that, I use another strategy: Threat. I say “If you keep rephrasing like this, I will pour acid on the roots of a tree until it dies.” And they know I am capable of it.

At least it has the effect of snapping the person into stopping his NVC and actually telling me he/she has no intent on solving the issue which, as an Asperger, is much easier to deal with, because I can quit, deal with it another way - at least the cards are on the table. I can’t stand social games, and NVC became so misused by polite-agressive people that it became a social game.

I feel sorry for the people who invented NVC, it’s certainly not what they built it for.

IG (and then FB) stole the "stories" idea from SnapChat. I don't see why they wouldn't do the same with this feature.
I‘m hoping that messaging apps will add a feature that allows you to transcribe voice messages after you received them. I find it rather annoying to listen to five minutes of audio when I could read a message in less than a minute.

I’ll propose that we actually kind of know a lot of things about many (not all) diseases, we really just need an objective look at how to address them. The majority of scientists today are mostly quite narrow minded in terms of scientific thinking, every one of them wants to use the method that they are experts at to solve the problem. When the Manhattan project was deployed all the top physicists came and tackled the problem that needed to be solved with the most suitable methods, but there’s been “cancers Manhattan project” or “moonshot” initiatives in biology numerous times and they all fail because the scientists incharge invariably push their own agendas in these.

Take Janelia farms for example- without reading their editorialised website if you try to gander what the hell this institution is trying to do, from just the papers they publish, you would fail miserably. Not saying that institution sucks, well I suppose I am saying that, but only insofar because all of academia seems to suck in the same way.
I once had a job that forgot about me in a large corporate environment. After about a month of showing up to stare at a wall I just stopped showing up.

I used that time to job hunt on the clock and ended up collecting my salary for a few months at the other place.
It seems kind of odd to blame academia for this. Almost all founders are clueless in all fields, and, additionally, they’re pretty much supposed to be aggressive about their idea in order to get investments. The role of the VC is to invest wisely. If they’re less knowledgeable about tech outside of the niche of computers and they lose money on biotech, that’s their fault.
Their world model is shit apparently. It should be a hierarchical Bayesian model, constantly updated, and checked for likehood distance from priors, and when it gets too big, alert the driver and disengage.

Cars don't randomly appear and disappear in the middle of the open road. If their model cannot interpret these events as "a big fuckin' problem, I'm out of my operational envelope, I need to stop", then that model is indeed dangerous.

Sure, this is easier said than done.
I'm all for no-nonsense, but I'd qualify Signal as barebones in some regards. Two features that routinely annoy me: no way to synchronize previous messages when linking a new client, no way to change the spellchecker language in the desktop app.

Launch HN: Travel Research Monthly
Hi. I am Kathy and I am the founder of Travel Research Monthly at www.travelresearchmontly.com.

After a long career in the travel industry, culminating as the VP of Innovation at Celebrated Experiences, I founded TRM. We had planned to launch in March 2020 (perfect timing for a travel business!). During the pandemic we continued to produce the journal and have over a year’s back issues available to subscribers.

TRM was developed to solve the problem of finding quality travel journalism online. Using a combination of technology and manual curation we currently scour over 1000 (and growing) traditional and non-traditional travel information sites world-wide and distill the results down to approximately 55 of the best travel articles, podcasts, and videos every month. We find the hard to find. For example, from publications like Architectural Digest which produce only a couple, typically high quality, travel articles a year.

We have a free sample issue here: https://travelresearchmonthly.com/june-2020/.

Why did we build this site? Because there is a tremendous amount of junk in the travel space online. Clickbait, deals, press releases disguised as articles, worthless influencers, pop-ups, malware, narcissistic videos, scams and, most of all, poorly written stories that give no value to the professional advisor. It is incredibly time-consuming to find very high quality, recent travel information.

We write our own synopsis for each article and give credit to the content author and website. Our links go directly to the content creator’s site so they get 100% of their advertising revenue just as with an organic search. We do not link to stories that are behind a paywall except if they have a work-around. We are user supported and do not accept advertising or paid promotion. We do not sell or release any data to third-parties.

I will be here to answer any questions and respond to any comments. Thanks for your time

Kathy

This may sound obvious and pedantic but by practicing it.

Getting yourself in someone's head is something you should return to casually, formally in various contexts and subtexts.

I like to use this one: "What part of their day is this?", which feels more relevant since I work across timezones now.

> Which is to say roughly the same size as all iPhones before the X (and larger than the brand-new Mini!)

This isn’t about physical size, though; it’s about screen resolution and aspect ratio.

> iPhone 12 mini: 2340×1080 @ 476dpi

> iPhone SE 2020: 1334×750 @ 326dpi

Yes, the 12 mini’s screen is 5.4” while the SE’s screen is 4.7”, but if the SE had the 12 mini’s DPI, it’d have a workable, modern-ish resolution. (Note how the OP never complained about how these apps look on the 12 mini. They look fine on the 12 mini.) The SE 2020 only ended up at the “outdated” resolution of 750p because its pixel density didn’t keep up with the times; not because it’s small per se.
I agree, betting against progress after what has happened with gtp3 and alphaGO seems unwise.
This doesn't really reflect the reality of the cacao market or the chocolate making industry, which is rapidly changing.

Countries like Ghana used to be held over a barrel regarding price. They produce low quality cacao usng extremely exploited labor to provide mass quantities to multinationals making low quality chocolate,like Nestle, Dove, Ghiardelli, etc.

Lately there is a lack of high quality, "fair trade" cacao for the growing high quality chocolate industry, which has taken to helping growers develop to be able to provide what they need. Not good news for the low quality producers, which, broadly speaking, are in Europe, which has been resting on its laurels and reputation while the state of the art has rapidly been improved by small, but growing companies.
I don't know for certain but this may be part of the reason Ghana is refusing to sell to Switzerland. I do know that the company I worked for recently began buying cacao from Ghana. And that is certainly partly due to the quality increasing significantly.
I suppose one of the points I was trying to make is that in tech it’s probably okay (maybe even beneficial) to be clueless, but that’s not true for biology or hard science tech - if you float a rocket company, stuff has to fly, and you better get some rocket scientists in there. One can’t just Travis Kalanick their way to Mars because you’re not fighting some cab unions you’re fighting the laws of physics.

Large companies act slowly. Net neutrality isn't about what they can get away with today, but a culture shift they can create over decades. Just because the effect happens on a timeline longer than a few years does not mean it doesn't exist. If you're feeling "burned", that has more to do with your friends' receptiveness to your presentation than with the topic itself.

FWIW with a similar standard of needing to see immediate effects, there would be absolutely no point discussing climate change. And actually that dismissal could be applied to most political topics.
