Psychology has been using "bio-monitoring" since Helmholtz, although they think of it as involuntary or unconscious (modification of) response, e.g. reaction time, pupil dilation, heart rate. It all has the same problem: the distance between the hypothesis, the experimental manipulation, and the measurement is large and badly understood. Differences between conditions are then ascribed to noise, which enables "creative" interpretations of the results.

As an example: in the field in which I worked, it was commonly assumed that the processing mechanism had to interpret a part of the stimulus as belonging to one thing or the other. Then they would manipulate the context to see how they could influence that. There were many results and experimental refinements, leading to an endless stream of contradictory articles, all claiming victory for their theory. But there are models in which this assumption doesn't make sense. Instead, it could belong to both, and the ambiguity would be resolved later. That makes the whole research line I described nonsense. The data is valid (if well documented), but the analyses and conclusions are not.

A genetics statistician explained to me that all early genetic research (and that means up until 2000 at least) is highly unreliable, because they used Neyman-Fisher significance testing with high p values, like 0.01. The lack of understanding was (and probably still is) so great, that 0.01 was simply not enough to exclude random results. Nearly all those papers are irreproducible. Nowadays, 5 sigma, which is less than 0.000001, is considered safe, although he himself was convinced that Bayesian is the only way to go.

The understanding of the subject in psychology is considerably worse than in biology. No amount of bio-monitoring is going to overcome that.
Our "Anglo" nations are mostly monolingual, but take it for granted that everyone else should speak English. As a result we sometimes forget how much effort was put into learning it, probably partly because we ourselves never achieved the equivalent.

It could be that your English is so good, that individual mistakes (here I'm going to be guilty of using an idiom) stick out like a sore thumb! You were probably right to be proud
All django query have a .explain with it. Which is similar to runnning an explain in the DB, but less detailed.

Nice! This might make this viable for thin client applications.

Has anyone tried this?
Amazon.de is sub-eBay in terms of bargain bin junk store vibe. It's mostly stuff direct from Alibaba with an own brand name slapped on it to get around having to compete for the buy box. I've actually started going back to eBay, Google Shopping and some independent web shops I know are good just to cut through the noise.
That's weird... I have tried it (I use it a lot on PC) and it works just fine.

It even has some extra features, like LaTeX support.

I guess you mean it doesn't work on mobile browsers? (Never tried that)

Now you’re assuming even more he didn’t say.

And I’m not charitable to retool. They’re opportunists. But they were provided with a screaming opportunity here.

It’s like getting naked, rubbing some condiments on yourself, going to the woods and screaming EAT ME. Eventually something will start chewing on you, and then you start whining about how unfair life is? Please.
Surprised that they had to resort to fake reviews considering the quality of products they sold. What a rat race.

I understand it is difficult to question much of what one has learned growing up about the past. It took me a lot of talking to older Eastern Europeans and reading history and political theory to begin questioning the default narrative.

The GDR was small and with little industry compared to its Western counterpart, not in absolute terms. When we’re talking about people moving between the two that is what is relevant.

It’s not the people of West Berlin that were hostile, but its state and US occupiers. The insistence of the US on a split Germany with half of the capital as an enclave was the first such hostile action, especially when the USSR was proposing a united neutral Germany. Leaving Nazis in positions of power in the west was the second.

Now you are insulting the people of the former GDR by implying they were puppets of the Soviets. Did you know the USSR were against the wall, but the GDR built it after all? In terms of reparations, it’s normal for an invader to pay reparations to their victim, if nothing else to rebuild. What is unusual is that the rest of Germany didn’t pay reparations to Eastern Europe.

In addition to the Marshal plan (which was significant in West Germany), imperialism continued. As the most obvious example, West German banks continued to export capital at extortionate rates to extract profits from poorer countries.

There were numerous covert attacks against the GDR, what do you think the Stasi were fighting? Western agents were found all over Eastern Europe spreading lies, arming fascists, assassinating people, etc.

I recommend you speak to some people that experienced the GDR. Their opinions are instructive.
Is any product available ?
I don't think it's a consequence of microservices, I think the problem is as old as the programmable computer. I'm the old paper and even clay tablet processes had to be constantly refactored too.

And a common argument I hear from microservice fanboys is that their old monoliths were suffering from high coupling and low cohesion and that microservices help with that. But I don't see why they couldn't have just refactored their monolith to address the problems they were having.
"Nero" also means "water" in Greek (modern Greek, as explained by d_tr). I was confused about whether you meant it as a Greek or Italian word by "mauro" that made the whole phrase sound Italian, at first. Sorry for the confusion :)
This is why we can't have nice things. Sigh.

Of course, "fix it in software" is cheaper. Sigh.

I know, I know, crap happens. But a review of something that basic should have been caught by someone at an earlier stage.
The reason why I say that image is a brazen lie is this:

It says that there are only four things linked to you when you use imessage.

one of those is "device id". It doesn't say thatit ties you to your icloud account. From that your location, passwords, icloud tabs, photos, purchases, etc, etc, etc are all indexable.
Short of decapping and studying RK808 silicon, there is probably no way to tell with certainty whether this is a hardware bug, or a software bug, in what could easily turn out to be ROM for an internal 8051 core.
The why do the Soviet archives contain detailed accounts of Stalin himself (and several other leaders) discussing the matter and sending a recommendation against the wall? Why do the same archives tell us about the proposal of a unified neutral Germany after the war?
In some countries, you can't perform essential tasks such as booking a doctor's appointment without Whatsapp. It's not that simple.

What is your graph db of choice?

I very much doubt they did marketing by themselves.

In China, it's usually outsourced to specialist Amazon wizards, people who are kind of in rank with "SEO consultants."
On this case, one way is to make a past_ or deleted_$tablename where you insert the deleted row before deleting it from production table.

This way you can watch post mortem, restore etc...

AND it's not soft delete since the data is really gone from the production table, therefore no query tweaking

Only thing: you need to really delete when GDPR related deletion is requested.
Mapping the current points would be more interesting to me in practice. Right now, when you install the extension and read the frontpage you just see the points doubled, which is pretty useless. But if the extension would pick a fixed date - say 1.1.2020 - and then recomputes the data of older and newer submission with their exact inflation ratio relative to that date, then you would have a stable comparison point also useful for new articles.
> what is a good risk, what the rates should be, handling repossession, negotiating terms, dealing with laws, all that stuff

These are the problems being worked on in defi right now and why people are so excited about it.

> in the cryptocurrency future, how will it be easier for a restaurant to use their business as collateral to take cash to do upgrades?

In the idealized future, the restaurant would have their complete transaction history available on-chain for lending contracts to use. Then, instead of a banker making a decision if the restaurant deserves the loan, an algorithm can make that determination and instantly grant the loan. Such a contract might use data points like amount of restaurant supplies purchased, number of customers, average sale price, demographics of the location, all of which would be on-chain and available to a contract.

This is good because it removes bias and discrimination that currently exists in the traditional system, increases the speed at which your restaurant owner can access their capital, and decreases the overall cost of doing the transaction because humans don't need to be involved.
Not sure why people hate on eBay, it's a better platform for buying (and selling) if you're at least a little careful.

Amazon's first choices are always garbage, have to sort through a lot of it, make sure you're buying from the right seller (and even then you could get a fake) and actually read the reviews (1 star, 2-3 stars and 5 stars, preferably) so you know what you're buying. But overall, it's alright.
Linkrot study using NYT data
That is a very useful feature to have though - for personal use. As a privacy nut I always make sure it is turned on.

Then again, I don't use facebook and I do strip exif if I want to upload a photo somewhere I don't want to share my location. (and I can do this with termux and the same tool I'd use this on my PC, just run exiftool -all= foo.jpg)

I get that it is not a sensible solution for the average user. But the problem is not exif-tags. It is facebook and the current ad ecosystem.

On android a file-picker that could optionally remove exif-data when a file is chosen seems like an easy workaround for the time being.
Actually upwork seeems to have plenty, and unless I'm mistaken they are all of "(re)write cypher query" kind.
BBC podcast on building simple randomised medical trial on all UK Covid patients
Forbes’s cookie pop up is ridiculous. They list all the ads trackers and it requires seemingly infinite scrolling.

I am fortunate to have been able to delete Facebook and Instagram from my phone but being in Europe I have to use WhatsApp.
Ok so we have a business model:

1. Have paid service.

2. Have free MIT software that violates the TOS of your own paid service.

3. Comes along a company, uses your MIT software as is.

4. Whine for money, because your TOS is violated.
I should see floppy drive as /dev/fd0. Just now as I double check everything I found out that external drives (USB) are shown as /dev/sd*. sdb in my computer.

I updated the post with that info.

I mean the thing is this is more like David vs. a sergeant in the Philistine army than Goliath, Goliath would have to be Amazon level.
Yeah. The thing is some people think they can buy non- crap from china there. And it is getting really difficult even if you're ready to pay extra.
And they don't now. Which is why it's useful to be on platforms that people do use.
Well, that is the point of software, to change quicker and cheaper.

You should see the state of Amazon.se. It launched earlier this year in absolute shambles: product descriptions were whacked; many listed products couldn't even be purchased; the product reviews were imported from other Amazon sites which made them look suspicious; the pricing wasn't even competitive when factoring in shipping to Sweden, etc, etc. They have made some improvements but still haven't taken off and it's crazy they don't value quality that much on a new market. The bargain bin junk store feel is all over the place.
Maybe the HN submission's URL should be updated to point to this article.
More specifically:

Settings.app —> Privacy —> Location services —> Camera

and turning off the “precise location” option for the Camera app that way.

It would be ideal if there were an “EXIF data” toggle in the Camera section that could allow sharing pictures with apps but with all metadata removed.
Open source was never a business model. You cant release something with a permissive license and then complain.
The point is you can get it the next day on Prime. You're paying for availability (between 1.8x, 2.2x markup), and ease of sending a product back should it not match your expectations.

Edit: also, big brands like Aukey have stock available next to you, so there's only one middle-man (Amazon), and it handles the logistics, so it's not like it's doing nothing…
How well is the project doing? - They had big plans, but it seems the company behind it shut down sometime ago. Lat blog from two years ago, last commit a year ago.
> I can't even figure out how to use it from my mobile device without installing an app.

I believe that's deliberate. The mobile web version of Facebook used to support personal messaging. In 2016 they removed it in an effort to push people onto the app.

Of course the company knew about the fraud. The fact they outsourced the actual work to a third party just means they can claim plausible deniability.
There was an initial effort to set up some rules in the 19th century, a highly confusing back-and-forth during the Drittes Reich period between Antiqua and Fraktur-style writing, and the utter clusterfuck of a spelling reform you mentioned, which eerily reminds me of the Python 2/3 debacle.

Going completely phonetic is also possible, but fraught with severe problems:

- major convincing of all literate speakers required.

- there might be more than one way to spell certain words if phonetic features of the language make it difficult. For example consonant clusters or vowel modifications by tones, such as in Vietnamese. Representing just the tones is also already quite tricky.

- definite FU to the dialects since the spelling is going to be aligned to the prestige variant or to a compromise variant nobody speaks.

- all existing literature would become difficult to understand within a generation or two.

- A phonetic writing system, together with pronunciation rules a linguist would still understand in a few hundred years, makes it possible to fix pronunciation. We humans are surprisingly good at coming up with such systems. But languages still change, and the writing system will therefore accumulate artifacts. Cue the ğ in Turkish, which changed its role to a vowel lengthener.

Going phonetic is still the rational choice when introducing an alphabet for a language that didn't have one before, or one of a different kind. You have to alphabetize people anyways, and there is not much literature yet.
Sure, SQL Server supports a maximum of 32767 connections each of which use around 128kB. Meaning that if you use the max connections you’ll need 4GB for the connection overhead.

We see no noticeable drop in performance with increased idle connection with our workload.
Oh damn really? What a sleazy hypocritical thing to do.
PC is different. They deliberately removed messaging from the mobile web interface, see my reply to konspence.
By the way, Aukey was the company in the Amazon email database leak.

I think, after everybody started pointing a finger on Amazon tolerating them, they had to act.
As long as an Android or OSX phone has internet access and it isn't totally messed up, it'll pull time from NTP if the modem's time doesn't exist. I too have doubts that many devices are so far off.
I failed to find where this old quote came from, but I recall being taught that for practical purposes it's best to "Understand the long words but use the short ones" - even though it was intended for headlines and written communication, it's applicable to speech.

The article does seem to mix up "accent" with word use though (I was going to say "conflate" but then I'd fail the above rule!) Problems with word use seem much more legitimate to raise than accent - so long as an accent can be understood, it's rarely a problem and "correcting" it is rude and unnecessary, but in cases where word use is simply incorrect and confusing, it seems fair to try to get people on the right track (politely of course).

In my experience a number of these usage problems come from incorrectly inferring the meaning of a word commonly done by an overconfident speaker and much as being inclusive is nice if you use the wrong word that actually means something else it's not helpful for anyone's understanding, native or nonnative.

The main criticism I would have of the article is that it doesn't really support the case that nonnative understanding is undermined by the presence of native speakers - it feels like it's just taken as given because it's easily pointed to rather than having a basis in any serious evidence. It could quite easily be that without any native speakers the nonnative speakers merely think they all understand each other.
That's true for a lot more than just music, movies, and games. When technology stales, so do most things that rely on it
I think the more obvious option is for Apple to fold in a privacy setting to each app for photos, alongisde the one that controls which photos are avaialble, so that you can choose on a per-app basis whether the OS strips exif data prior to making those photos available to the app.
It’s not about how many devices you have. It’s about how many ports you have listening on each device and how frequently they hop addresses.
How much RAM do you have installed? That can significantly affect your boot time.

As a user, what would be the point of LinkedIn if not to spread your resume as far and wide as possible? Of course they should scrape. Even better would be a free, public API for it. Or they should share in the profits that my data generates.
While I agree that Amazon.se looks like a clown shoes dumpster fire, all of Amazon’s properties have more and more devolved into looking like a Dollar Store website (or Wish re-skin if you prefer that).
I hate the keyword stuffing but also discovered that when you are shopping and only have a faint understanding of what keywords to search for, the stuffing often helps...
Or, if you want to use Fedora, try Fedora Silverblue [1]. It uses an immutable root filesystem and offers atomic updates and rollbacks through OSTree.

Yeah, Amazon is getting worse with time.

I do investigate the store and usually don't even bother if it's not FBA (it's fine if it isn't but usually for more specialized stuff, not stuff that's blatantly OEM from China)
This is two weeks old, but a few other publications covered this:

Yeah I was confused too. Why on earth will someone provide a load balancer if it keeps changing it's IP address as it scales?
> sellers try to jam as many keywords as possible into the title

I've seen sellers try to match on more searches by mentioning what their product isn't, along the lines of Brand new replacement widgets (NOT original ACME widgets).

> Obviously working around massive limitations in discoverability.

That's the result of competition, rather than search-engine limitations, no?
Barely. If you want to just run some compiled C app then you don't need as much tools. You can even skip the BusyBox part and instead of shell running your application only.

But I don't think it is what you want. For sane set of tools it was a little bit over 1MB. Mine is bigger as I still need more tools for fixing/experimenting on live system (I'm using shell scripts for my application). In the end I will be removing more and more tools.
I probably am. I'm not an expert in this. Sorry, if you know more about it than I do I defer to you. But what I understand is, say I had a SAP that was running psychological experimentation on everyday Americans without their knowledge or consent, it sounds as if you're saying that it's guaranteed the EB would know "in general terms" this was going on. I think that's false. I definitely think it's possible that there are blacker than black SAPs that escape any EB/LB oversight whatsoever. But, please, enlighten me differently if that's not true :) ;p xx
Everything! Boiling a pot of water is twice as fast if not more. More control over temperature. No risk to burn yourself, kitchen towels or other unwanted items. They never need deep-cleaning due to spilled food being burned onto the glass, one wipe with a cloth and it looks like new.

One drawback is they are often bundled with ridiculous touch-controls rather than knobs, even though that shouldn't need to be the case. You can find those without.
The only reason I don't is Prime. When I need something, it's usually in an ASAP timeframe. I'm fairly convinced that Prime is actually what keeps Amazon in business.
not a single day goes by without the company taking a crap in some corner.

my proposal is more radical. rally to ban FB in that country. incentivize local companies to come up with alternative solutions.

zuck and his comrades have no business poking their noses into foreigners medical data anyway. it would also avoid less taxes being lost on facebooks Double Irish tax evasion. treat them like the cancer they are. don't celebrate FB engineers and call them out for the useful idiots they are.
Thanks! When I saw how clean and easy it can be in just a few steps I needed to share that knowledge!
