> Neighbors and friends denouncing each other for minor transgressions.

Does this happen often on Twitter?

Literally every example I've ever read about on Twitter is one of the following:

1. some poster completely unknown to the person in question-- either revealing content of old Tweets or aggressively responding to a recent utterance. Then that goes viral.

2. some victim of assault makes an accusation as a last ditch effort to stop a monster from continuing to assault victims.

I know plenty of examples of Facebook's instigation algo ripping at the seams of otherwise close-knit communities. But those are cases of a nasty divorce spilling out into public posts, or a political disagreement suddenly turning into, "Someone should burn so-and-so's house down!" Weird shit.

I've never witnessed any people who are friends or neighbors with each other attempt police each other's minor transgressions on Twitter.
The bit of international significance: "As the previous decision in Finland helped convince the experts in Germany, today’s decision is a huge tailwind for the ongoing applications in other countries like France, Switzerland, and Poland. And the more countries will have listed the Demoscene, the more likely an international joint application for the Demoscene to be recognized as humanity’s cultural heritage becomes."
Yes, many instances of modern literary criticism come to mind, such as Ben Jonson's commentary on the works of Shakespeare, his friend, producer, and cast member; Cervantes' analysis embedded in Quixote and Sheridan's analysis embedded in Tristram Shandy; Tolstoy's What Is Art; etc.

My impression remains that during the period between Poetics and, oh, Canterbury Tales, the great thinkers didn't publish anything about Narrative.

Thanks for the Northrop Frye tip!
I meant terrified of doing shady stuff (as I was responding to the assertion that it didn't stop doing shady stuff), not terrified in general.

Running a website without a popup is easy. Just stop any processing that is not necessary for you to provide the service.

"But I want to track what users are doing!" - Well, then you have to show them a popup about that.

The GDPR holds that data protection is a fundamental right. Consequently, the user's interests generally trump a website owner's interest.
I don't see iterator syntax being desugared to a counted loop there. I don't doubt that the Rust compiler eventually produces a counted loop when iterating over a vector, but this link doesn't demonstrate that.
This is beautiful. I think I am going to toy around with it in a project I have been dreaming about.
> I would think counting unique visitors is a legitimate business interest for most businesses. And there is no way to do that without a cookie, or without storing IP address (which is considered personally identifiable info).

Setting a cookie is not in itself a GDPR violation. Collecting personally identifiable information is. You can collect unique visitors by setting a cookie but without collecting personally identifiable information, so no consent popup would be required for that:

1. Set a "site last visited: <date>, <serial-of-the-day>" cookie if it is not set.

2. Count hits as appropriate by examining the cookie - without collecting IP addresses.

Since no personally identifiable information is being collected with this scheme, consent is not required.
There's a good chance the funding will come from charities. Most likely ones funded by people who made money in computers.
This story seems to have changed over time. It’s been separately reported that the crew was so fed up they took the day off without permission, and that was the only thing that jolted mission control into agreeing to backing off the micromanagement.

Also supposedly Jerry Carr was sidelined by NASA as punishment for leading the “mutiny” and never given an opportunity to fly the Shuttle.

NASA PR, as always, has their own spin on it.

The article goes on in some detail to make the case that even by your belabored definition of wrong, Malthus was wrong. It was never—or rarely—food that limited human population, but disease.
If you have been financially unaffected by the coronavirus, give your stimulus money away to friends / family that were drastically affected, like restaurant workers.
I would have agreed with you a year or two ago, but times are changing. Vendor lock-in isn't just about cost anymore. You're also gambling on ideology that the provider you are locking in to won't decide to terminate your account and destroy your business because they disagree with your philosophy or politics.
I have a hard time not smashing my laptop when this happens.
Wow. Huge step forward from competitors and also wow there’s a lot more to do.
Climatist junk.

I followed some links and on page 12 of one such report saw that in 2016 renewable subsidies were 15% of fossil fuel subsidies ($1 Bn vs $8 Bn) while generating only a tiny fraction of total energy.

It's always amazed me that a working writing system was developed by someone who could not himself read!
Re 1) Maybe you could cache with cloud front?
Also, it pushes for some preservation of the execution environments of these programs. It's now more likely that someone will make sure that there's a runnable version of qemu (or similar) that emulates well enough to run them.
Technically each character is a morpheme, not just a syllable—-a syllable is a unit of sound but a morpheme carries some meaning along with the sound. And in Mandarin, many words consist of two or more morphemes.

Shopify does not have this problem. There is no excuse for these addresses to be different. Case in point - look at Order vs FulfillmentOrder. The destination is a simple copy! Even worse, FO is missing the country code and province code, including only the (useless for shipping) full text. It's daft.

A typed language helps because you would have to make an explicit decision to use a non-standard Address. And the 2 vs 3 digit country code conflict is an issue with "stringly typed" code; don't do that, make a CountryCode type instead and constrain it.

One thing that really annoyed me who always preferred the smaller iPhones like the SE: When Apple updated their Music app to make everything super big and bloated it basically got unusable. Especially for classical music where you could not see past the long name of the symphony to see which movement it was. And even while playing you had to wait for the running text to reach the important part.

And all this was just blown up, they did not have to cram in a lot of infos they just increased the size of every UI element, made fonts bigger and bolt. It was really poor design, it felt like a phone for the elderly. Also one feature was gone that the old Music app had which would've helped here: hold down on a song to get the overlay of the whole name...

In general classical music is really poorly supported by many music services and apps but this was such a huge annoyance that I had to switch to a third party app and delete that shitty Music app.
The web interface to Amazon Prime videos is basically unusable because of the many hover behaviors they've added.
It did pan out, we have hundreds of functional and useful nuclear reactors in the world that produce electric energy with close to zero CO2 emissions.

The focus is needed to double down to get rid of all coal/gas plants.
Yep, too many UX professionals spend 95% of their energy on the look and maybe 5% on the feel.
Parler would not have been saved by being more mobile between clouds, no provider would have them. Only self hosting would have saved them, which is rarely what people are proposing when they talk about vendor lock-in.
Because the market is perfect and will foster the most beautiful arts efficiently, right?

There is some requirement for coordination in a societal level, taking taxes to fund what bureaucrats like to foster is imperfect but so far looks like the better alternative than just letting private and profit-driven interests drive what's culture or not.

What's your alternative?

I want to withdraw cryptocurrency to keep the funds safe, not to spend it. Exchanges are single points of failure and we can expect to lose it all if their security is breached.
Whilst the main concept itself is subject to local legal variations, the idea of contractors being able to make their jobs more accessible and more affordable to the average homeowner resonates around the world. What Kanda aims to do is to take this legal restriction minefield away from the contractors, so they can continue to do what they do best, whilst offering their customers an affordable payment plan. Securing a lien when doing smaller work, such as fitting a boiler or rewiring a house, is not ideal when you want to get paid as soon as the job is done. If the customer instead arranges finance with us, the payment can be immediately paid out and the contractor can continue on with their business without worrying if they will get reimbursed. Finally, the concept of fronting the money for the materials arises from the fear of the contractor not getting paid at all; if the job isn't paid for, at least the contractor won't be out of pocket. With us, the money is secured before the job starts. They don't need to worry about being out of pocket from a customer refusing to pay or being unable to pay.
I got a introduction to ML back in college (going through basic Algorithms) and I went straight to use them in game dev. I think it's a fascinating area.
>Ghana's exporters have just been banned from exporting. They are going to go out of business very soon.

I do. It isn't, necessarily. Quality is becoming much more important now and makers of high quality chocolate are growing in market share. Like coffee, there is more demand for higher quality and less exploitative business models.

There is a significant demand for high quality cacao such that producers of chocolate are helping to develop the cacao industry in producing countries to move to a higher quality,less exploitative model.

I don't know for certain, but Ghana, and other African countries, may be staking their future on this model, which has been successful in Central and South America, rather than continuing to use egregiously exploitative labor to produce low quality of cacao to sell large quantities to companies like Nestle. More and more, the money is elsewhere.

I think full self driving will be achieved when infrastructure and laws are adapted to it. We already have the tech to pull it off. A clear example of this is metro line 14 in Paris (it has no driver).

We don't need trains, just proper painting of the roads and separate autonomous vehicles from the rest.

Trying to use the current infrastructure without any adaptation seems to me a dead road.
Curious how this can work for recording podcasts.

This is not wrong if you consider Abkhazia part of Georgia. There are definitely recorded African descent families speaking Abkhaz and pictured in Abkhaz clothing. You are being unfairly downvoted.

> Today on the suggestion of the national Unesco expert committee, the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs decided to accept the Demoscene as German intangible cultural heritage. The decision acknowledges the long and living tradition the Demoscene has in Germany, with Revision, Breakpoint, and Evoke among other demoparties shaping the landscape of major international gatherings of the demoscene for decades.

Ah yes, the experts who arbitrary decide such matters based on politics and tourist revenue estimations.

So has Currywürst been a part of German culture for decades, but apparently it is not included, perhaps because it's fastfood. — our overlords move in mysterious ways.
Doors are tricky to design in real life equally. Lookup Norman Doors.
They can't explode though.
Convolutional neural networks were also tried and failed to fulfill their potential for 20 years (or 50 depending on how far you go back) until they didn't and now they're ubiquitous. You cannot discard a whole area of research because one or some implementations of a concept have so far failed to become competitive.

All to all connectivity is possibly the worst paradigm unless you want to do architecture search so I wouldn't hold it as an example of anything wrt this concept.
As for recurrent neural networks to my knowledge they've only been used for recurrence in time or space not recurrence between layers for a single sample, though I might be wrong, so they're not relevant to what I'm speaking of. Though there is some work on skip connections (forward and backward) which takes some inspiration from their gating mechanisms.
"How is Bitcoin the solution to this problem?"

I wish there'd be more people doing and publishing their deep analysis of exploring alternate ideas using blockchain, not a blockchain structured as Bitcoin, could that eliminate the problems of money being printed - a solution that aligns all nations through democratically elected government implementing policy for consensus vs. financial reward being the primary driver for Bitcoin's adoption.

Edit to add: there's an extreme imbalance in those financially incentivized to write about Bitcoin in a positive way vs. discovering and publishing alternatives that don't include financial incentive for adoption - however those are magnitudes less likely to reach relatively mainstream forums like HN. -2 downvotes now so far - how many of those people suppressing my comment own Bitcoin and are financially incentivized to suppress counter-narratives?
Sorry, that's not going to happen. People are people, not machines, and if you tell them all the discovery and excitement of UI design has already been had by past designers, and that all future work should be purely derivitive, you won't have that many people staying in UI design. You're going to have to learn to live with the fact that creative people don't want to paint by numbers. Same applies to every complaint about new generations of people reinventing any wheel that applies to their field.
This is what I would expect. Though Clubhouse is a novel idea, it's relatively easy for a plethora of social networks to implement something similar and immediately have the network effect of their already immense userbase. On Instagram/Youtube/Facebook people can already go live with video. I think we will very quickly see similar audio-rooms on these platforms.
As a huge LCD Soundsystems fan how could I miss this? I'm mindblown, what a masterpiece.
Alright. I forgot that people can roll their own browser.

Update: I did a little research, but still unsure if it is possible to modify `isTrusted` from the core (Chromium, Qt).
FYI the common idiom is "case in point," rather than "case and point."

The phrase represents this idea: I have a case to make (or an argument), and there is a single element that is conclusive enough to make the whole case in and of itself.

You might say, "I can address this entire case in a single point." This shortens to "case in point." The implication is that the single point you make is enough of an argument to prove your whole case.
I hope you find it helpful!
Got any solution for naming and caching too?
More and more I appreciate Signal for what it is. A no nonsense (okay, stickers) messaging tool for people that know each other in real life. I hope it never changes into something "social".
Seems got only 1/2 of the story. Ma be it is a story in making. As life is.
I'm feeling like copying a finished product that is generally available for sale is not the same as capturing the developer's keystrokes in real-time.

Planet Money just did a 25 minute podcast with the inventor on the business side of making the pasta, including getting the patent, manufacturing the die, and finding a pasta maker who would agree to produce a limited run:

Haha, yeah, fair. I imagine the cats that do live there are probably enjoying themselves through this but have had their capacity overwhelmed.
For whatever reason, this reminds me of that guy that salted a steak all weird and people lost their minds. This was right after Trump was elected and there were riots... general chaos in the world. Yet, some dude salting a steak egregiously was the big thing for a while.

I want this pasta shape to blow up just the same. I mean hell, spending 3 years on a new product is interesting and I hope the folks involved gain some sort of fulfillment from this. I won't lie though, the absurdity is what I want to see.

Maybe this says something about the human condition? To ignore chaos we try to find order or control somewhere, anywhere. Salt a steak unnecessarily, buy tons of toilet paper, redefine ownership with NFT and make a brand new pasta shape... because real problems are hard to deal with.
In Germany we had pink PLK cards, which you got without an ID and where you could sent packages to (I held on to mine for a very long time).

One day the police was waiting in front of the post office and got a friend of mine.
Back in the good ol' days, that is 2018, I had this Galaxy Note 2 with a little pen. When hovering the pen over the screen, it would create a cursor under it and trigger onhover events when moving it around just like a desktop cursor.

I could open hover menus on mobile from 2012-2018 when not all sites were adjusted to mobile yet.

It was glorious.
I wonder if this is in any way related to the Australian Government deciding in 2015 to try to kill two million feral cats by 2020.

Yeah, but I can't get my family to switch if the UX is subpar.
To me, the nature of originating from and being enforced top-down by a single source (a tiny minority) in order for itself to stay in power is what made the censorship system in the USSR “inorganic”, and so far it seems to me not to be the case with the “woke” culture.
> Inflation is a hidden tax on the common people

This article is wrong from the first sentence. In the United States, most "common people" have no savings of any kind and carry significant debt burdens. Inflation benefits debtors at the expense of creditors. If you owe $10,000 in credit card bills you can never pay, you should be praying for higher inflation.

This notion that somehow inflation (which has barely existed in the last decade or so anyway) is devastating the meager savings of salt-of-the-earth folks is nothing but a pernicious lie promoted by crypto/goldbug ideologues.

What's wtf about it? It's biologically accurate. What they mean is you shouldn't tell a teen that sex is bad and evil and their instincts for sexual contact are not bad and evil.
It's ironic that you're misusing a term that came out of a community often accused of being filled with communist infiltrators any time they speak up for themselves.
I’m pretty sure they exist only for Chromebooks. Nobody else supports them, nobody else ever will.
I think everybody should be paying for online services and companies should not be allowed to provide services that are free of charge.

The simple truth is that all companies are for profit or at the very least have running costs that need to be covered.

As long as people expect services to be free of charge there isn't much that can be done. Companies will work hard to monetize you as a product because there isn't much else that can be done.

We can always try to create more law or precedents, but companies will put their billions to exploit every single bit of information about you that can be exploited in any possible way.

I believe the explicit price is needed to have healthy competition and for the companies to focus on services they render to their customers and not on the customers as a product packaged for other companies to use for some shady business.
Are you sure we don't have decent OCR today? I just pulled out a pen, wrote "Pie for breakfast" with my non-dominant hand so it looks like trash, then I scanned it with Google Translate (on an obsolete iPhone, almost in the dark) and it picked it up perfectly. It seems dramatically better than the state of the art 20 years ago.
Ask HN: How to build empathy?
As an engineer I run cycles of listening, paraphrasing and then solutionizing almost every day. This doesn't translate well in friendships & relationships where the other person just wants someone to listen. At the same time I rate lowly on empathy scoring tests on the internet. Other technical folks here who might have gone through this,

1. How did you develop your listening skill?

2. How to be more empathetic?

Update: Some more questions

1. What common failure modes do you hit in your relationships as a low empathy person?

2. How do you avoid them?
unless I see numbers, I'm not buying the "maximum sauceability".

This feels like an ad, I'm not sure why it's on the homepage.
This looks bloody neat - Clubhouse seemed annoying and exclusive, whereas Telegram feels a lot more inclusive.
Microsoft for instance offers free VM images for browser testing.
Even if we use a VPN, how to make the payments? Don't those exchanges require Asian bank accounts?
Different personalities require different management styles.

Personally I love having a manager that takes care of all my priority setting and frequently chases me for status updates. I struggle with those things, them doing this helps me focus on what I'm good at.

Other personalities do not respond well to this lack of space.

Neither of what I. Describing is micromanagement but I hate when people trope that they give their reports as much space as possible. That's a good way to waste my potential.
The focus should be on preventing this “fraud” in the future, but that actually runs counter to the goals of those who are issuing the debt, the same federal agency that is now forgiving the debt, debt which mind you they should not have given out so recklessly in the fist place. When the horrible costs of wanton debt issuance become clear they just scapegoat the “for profits.” Anybody can google the numbers and easily see the student debt crisis is not limited to for profits, it’s a red herring meant to distract from the real problem which is a student debt bubble that was created by a federal agency that had bad incentives.
I and a ton of friends use Telegram purely for messaging, none of this gets in the way.

I thought the same thing. We do have pretty compact ways to write now though. For example 15,000 can be written as 15k.
