I think you are deep in a bubble if you believe that thinking ads are harmful is a common viewpoint in general instead of in niche. You won't see newspapers calling ads in general that way for one, they have to add targetted to not look like obvious flaming hypocrites.

The opposing view would call "harmful" downright hysterical in the same way teens would nigh universally roll eyes at Tipper Gore's claims of music as harmful or Jack Chick's anything.

As for claims that the effort and money at Google could be spent in less harmful ways? No it couldn't, not the money they received - except as operating as a take the money and run scam which hardly qualifies as less harm as an instant zeroing of account values. The "harm" is why they got the money in the first place. You have to give the people paying money what they want to keep receiving money to get what you need to fulfill the demands.

“Both sides” are solely composed of corporations and their benefactors debating the parameters of a business relationship that has a relatively large fiscal impact on their respective operations. This is not a public issue that concerns normal people at all. The fact that so many normal people think the decision on net neutrality will have a meaningful impact on their lives, the products they use, or even democracy shows how successful these corporations have been in astroturfing this issue. It’s another nothingburger fake political debate of the kind that pervades and rots actual public discourse.
As someone who works on stuff that involves cryptography but not cryptocurrency, I agree, but at this point I consider it a lost cause. Cryptocurrencies have taken over so much of the popular imagination that even when I say "cryptography" I get responses like "oh you mean like Bitcoin?"

High Hopes claims stratospheric breakthrough in direct air CO2 capture
Its not like FB has ever let advertisers "exclude black people" before. The critics said it may be possible that protected categories get less ads for housing, employment, etc due to algorithmic bias. That is a subtle danger, and honestly hard to technically implement at scale, but I think FB has always given a good faith effort in this area.

I don't understand how it can possibly select the "worst piece". As far as I've always believed, Tetris is np complete. Now I understand that in very simple terms you could say for one move that a piece looks difficult, but in the long run it could turn to have been a a great piece.

> the rest of the evidence really pushes towards organic growth as the most likely scenario

We know next to nothing about geological processes that can happen at low temperatures and extremely low air pressure. Biological explanations are never 'the simplest', as there is no kind of geological formation that comes even close to the complexity of a single cell, nevermind the complexity of a multicellular organism.
Carbonation is another factor – fresh concrete is contains calcium hydroxide and is therefore an alkaline environment, which has the effect of protecting the rebar from corroding.

Over time however, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere slowly seeps into the concrete (anything that's only intermittently wet fares the worst here), turning the calcium hydroxide into calcium carbonate. While this has the beneficial side effect of actually increasing the strength of the concrete itself, it also lowers its pH value, which means the rebar is no longer protected against corrosion once the carbonation process reaches the rebar.

There's a distinction between _broad transcription_, which only cares about capturing distinctions between phonemes which change the meaning of at least one word in the transcribed language, and _narrow transcription_, which attempts to distinguish all of the fine nuances of accent and pronunciation. Most native english speakers would expect the broadly transcribed /ta/ to be narrowly transcribed as [tʰa], because we often aspirate plosives before vowels.

Obviously this is a spectrum; some transcriptions are so broad that they transcribe the english <r> as /r/ when the context is clear that we're talking about english, even though it should properly by /ɹ/. And in my narrow transcription, I didn't bother to notate vowel length, because it didn't matter for the given example.

(Note: I use <> for orthography (how it's written in the language), // for broad transcription, and, and [] for narrow transcription)
Thanks. It's actually explained in the link on the github page after all. I just missed it the first time. It's what you say basically:

The method by which the AI selects the worst possible piece is extremely simple to describe (test all possible locations of all possible pieces, see which of the pieces' best-case scenarios is the worst, then spawn that worst piece), but quite time-consuming to execute, so please forgive me if your browser chugs a little after locking each piece. If you can figure out a way to accelerate the algorithm without diminishing its hate-filled efficiency, do let me know. The algorithm for "weighing" possibilities is to simply maximise the highest point of the "tower" after the piece is landed.

The author says that the algorithm couldn't be changed without invalidating the replays so I'm guessing that means it's a deterministic algorithm. Judging from the comment about "weighing" possibilities (which I interpret as evaluating boards) I'm further guessing it's an ad-hoc implementation of Best-First Search. In that case, I suspect its performance could be improved quite a bit by replacing it with a Monte Carlo search. But as the author fears, that would definitely invalidate replays (you'd get slightly different results each time).

Another optimisation is some kind of prunning heuristic- some kind of intuition about which pieces P don't need to be considered once a certain piece S has been rejected as the worst possible, because those other pieces P can only yield better boards then S (better for the player). No idea what that heuristic would look like, but the result would stay the same so the replays could still run as before.
Maybe that's what I'm thinking of! I associate just 't' with 'tʰ'.
It is. The -point- of the term is to reverse the usual dynamic between the privileged and the disadvantaged. What that dynamic is depends on whether you see the categories in this comparison as only two (the haves and the have-nots) or three (including a "normal" category which lies somewhere between the two), or perhaps as a spectrum (where privileged and disadvantaged arguably lie at the extremes of the bell curve).
The Chair of the FTC used the number of comments against Net Neutrality as "proof" that people did not want Net Neutrality. He then refused to investigate the obvious forgeries.

It's not really surprising that a country that wasn't itself a colonizer nor exactly colonized (Hitler aside) and has few nonwhite immigrants wouldn't understand the American situation while also being naively racist.
>Imagine trying to spread a novel idea / product to a society

If society actually wants it then they can learn about it from places that aggregate such ideas. Moreover if our lives weren't inundated with ads 24/7 then those aggregators would be in much more demand. Very very few advertisements are for novel ideas that are actually a net positive for society.

> HN comment section pessimism is a new metric for evaluating your odds of success.

The success of a startup depends on many factors and pessimism on HN is definitely not one of them. HN is a forum where people intellectualize things from their limited point of view. It is usually not the primary forum where the founders seek feedback. I think HN is a remix of the old slashdot forums with a healthy mix of digg + reddit.
(Although your account is rate-limited because of the quantity of flamewar comments you've posted, I've temporarily turned the rate limit off so you can reply. You don't need to create new accounts, which HN's anti-troll software is rejecting anyhow.)

You posted surprisingly vicious smears in this thread, even blaming one person for the death of another. Some of that you edited in an extremely misleading way, so that the community's original response seemed unreasonable, when in fact it had been appropriate. Even in the above comment, which is still up, you've accused someone of being fake, fraudulent, and dishonest, with zero basis. When asked not to do any of this, you haven't even acknowledged what you did—instead you're changing the subject dramatically. Isn't that a little distasteful?

> I'm sure you've seen where people have accused you

Since you saw the thread where people were bringing it up, I'm surprised you didn't see the explanations:

> is HN not the place to discuss that

People discuss companies, including YC-funded companies, at great length on HN all the time. That's not the issue here. The issue is that you've been breaking the site guidelines very badly, and we need you to stop.

> Do you not have a conflict of interest

I've written extensively about that over the years. If you or anyone is interested, some of those past explanations can be found at the following links:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

The short version is that we don't moderate HN to suppress criticism of YC or YC startups, because that would be (a) wrong, (b) futile, and (c) dumb. We moderate HN to try to keep it interesting and in line with the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) — that's all. I'd never claim to be immune from bias (who could?) but I can tell you what principles we try to apply and can at least claim to have years' worth of practice at them.

There's nothing secret here, by the way, in the sense that anyone can get an answer to any question about how HN works (other than technical details about anti-abuse software, and that only because they would stop working if they weren't secret). Trying to run an online community any other way would be inefficient and self-defeating. We try to never do anything that isn't defensible to the community, because the community's good will is the only asset HN has.

I completely understand how easy it is for unexplained details to compound into weird and sinister pictures. That's a fact of human life that we all have to deal with, especially online. But really the cleanest and freshest way to deal with it is to check what's actually happening, when that option is available. HN, even though it has millions of users, is still small enough that that option is actually available. Why not take advantage of that?

If they pivot, does that mean the negative feedback was right or is it always wrong? What if the feedback precipitates the pivot?

I have no idea if Mighty will succeed or not. But I suspect it will not succeed as a a $30/mo consumer product. Indeed, I'd bet money on it. The companies everyone keeps referencing were free products. I got excited about Dropbox. So did my friends. No friend has excitedly sent me a link to Mighty.

I'm sure some professionals will pay though. How many and how many they need to hit their numbers is another question. They can still probably ride the hype machine to an exit.
I'm not too certain, I am a scientist not a business suit, so I could easily be wrong... but ...
From my point of view the crisis of 2008 came by calling the bet and seeing it wasn't backed up by cash or collateral.
This was circumvented by increasing the cash flow and saving the banks at that time. In 2009 the US gave stimulus pack to restart the economy, since only saving the banks didn't help anyone else.

So the resession was healed by providing more moving money and everything bounced back.

This is what we see again now.

So the system is actually holding up because the amount of money is increased. This is not the symptom, but the cure.

This way everything can go on as it is, but you are right, there can be more effects. Although I'm not sure which.

If the cash flow goes away so do all products and people starve...
This is avoided by printing more cash.
At least that is the theory and it seems to hold, for now...

Again I could be wrong on this.
I, for one, really like Ubuntu font. However, I would rather prefer it not be used as a default on websites I frequent.
This is a common point of confusion for people. Julia has a useful and expressive type system, so people just assume it must be static but it's not, julia is dynamically typed.

It's intermediate representation is statically typed, but the language itself has dynamic semantics.

That said, we have almost every trick and tool up our sleeves that static languages have (in various stages of development). Check out https://github.com/aviatesk/JET.jl if you want static typechecking of julia code.

Targeting based on content fundemenally allows everyone access to ad content. It makes content providers more responsible for the Ads they carry. It allows me to avoid sites that show me bad Ads (such as mail order brides).

Targeting Ads based on anything else is invasive, discriminatory, and enables even higher levels of manipulation. If I get targeted by content independent targeted ads, it can be almsot impossible to avoid those Ads as they will follow you everywhere you go.

Finally! I have been pointing this out as being mostly a tech circle thing. But almost every time I get downvoted for it.

The question here is, why Tech? What is specific about Tech as an industry, and that is not just in US, it is also spreading in UK, ( or mostly English speaking countries ). I assume it has something to do with Social Media. But then other industry also have access to social media usage as well.

>you're going to wash the particulates through a fluid that stays in the pump permanently, so how quickly is the funk going to make that compressor unpleasant to be around?

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. But is the water going to be there permanently?

If the input air is quite dry, presumably (total guess) it would pick up some extra water. So you'd need to supply more. And probably not just tap water because of dissolved minerals and so forth - distilled seems like a better idea.

Conversely if the input air is humid, you might end up condensing water out of it, and need to bleed water from the system.

And then you're dissolving particulates in it either way...

All sounds like maintenance work, but maybe not a prohibitive amount of it.
- Put "Today's 3 goals" on paper next to your work area.

- Create a new list of 3 for the next day before you leave so you know where you should resume when you come in.

- Using a mindmap helps me break down projects into workable chunks that i can see at a glance. I use Freeplane.

- Pair up! Know what you are good at and what your "weaknesses" are. Then pair with someone who is good at them.

- Consider your approach to work & learning. When I sign up for an online course to learn a new technology, I bore out in no time. Instead, I identify problems to solve and look for ways to solve those problems. This way, I am always learning new tech but directly applying it to problems that matter to me.

- Understand that what some consider a weakness may be your forte. My insatiable desire to learn things to help address problems i encounter in life has been a benefit for me. I understand the capabilities of enough technologies and how to match them to problems that i have a fair bit of patents.

- I have a "career" git project where i store mindmaps, markdown files for notes or other documents that archive past work achievements as well as documenting future job possiblities.
> You get more, more valuable content

There's a couple of non-sequitors here.

1. You don't necessarily get more valuable content. A lot of times the higher ROI leads to gamification of the whole system and you get more content, but it's all spam or varying levels of quality. This spam varies from complete trash to fairly polished, but none of it is actually valuable.

2. Even if we concede the point and assume that we get purely more valuable content, there is a limit to the amount of content anyone can consume in a day. And the advertising itself competes for your attention with even that valuable content. So the benefit from an increased amount of valuable content has a natural limit. The harm from the increase of ads is not so naturally bounded. So even if the balance of cost/benefit starts on the side you think, where the benefit of the content outweighs the cost of advertising, it will naturally, eventually trend towards the cost outweighing the benefit.

You are correct that in my view, personally, the cost already far outweighs the benefit. We can argue whether that's true on the whole for most people, but there is no argument when it comes to me personally. It's not worth it. There is a lot of content I only consume because I'm blocking ads. If I was unable to block ads and had to pay that cost, I would certainly forgo the content.
This is in no way a rebuttal to what they said. The point is that privilege very well may exist and be a valid concept surrounding an aggregate, but be a invalid tool for comparing individuals.
I think that's the best solution (the only potential optimization I can think of would be to add a padding byte after every country to force 32bit alignment which would make the offset computation faster on some architectures, although probably not on x86).

Stylistically-wise I think the best solution would be to write the array like:

const char countries[][3] = {
[0] = "A1",
[1] = "A0",
};

This way the codes are explicit when you read the code and it makes editing the array a little easier. Unfortunately gcc only warns if you set the same index twice with -Wextra, it remains silent with -Wall.
