It would be illustrative to see the same data post-Obama vs. McCain, or Clinton vs. Bush. Is this a normal post-election let down?

For that matter, how about the full 4 years? Perhaps there was a matching build up leading up to the election.

Could use more context.
It's not about what I "think" the difference is. The difference is, in fact, that a company is not a person. And a person doing something in the name of the company or as a representative of the company is not acting as a person either, but as an extension of the company.

A company is essentially a sociopath that does not have to follow a social contract, has no limited lifespan, doesn't need to eat, sleep, have shelter, and doesn't feel pain or joy. All it does is extract as much value as possible, at any cost, including joy, safely and general lives of others.

A government that panders to sociopathic wealth hoarders isn't a government, but just another company and the people in general are worse off for it.
I think this is mostly true today, but something which we think of as broken and we're fixing. We believe it should be accessible to a wider audience outside of just engineering; there is a lot to do, but we're starting with UI automation.
Same in France. "Médicament" is what you get from your doctor and "drogue" is what you get from your dealer.

As for the shops, the one that sells prescription and over-the-counter drugs is called "pharamacie", the next tier is "parapharamacie", which sells vitamins, essential oils, hygiene products, etc... "Drogueries" are actually hardware stores.
> thrive under pressure.

I actually would say I do too, but I also appreciate deadlines for the time compression effect that they instill that you can't get from anything else.

> I find putting an estimate together makes me think through the design

I agree, and I'm not advocating for ignoring all of those details for a ticket or project. I'm just saying that the important thing is to flip the conversation. All of those things should be known regardless of the time question.
I think McCain might be the ultimate example of an established political personality 180'ing their rhetoric to win an election. The maverick disappeared, and then evidently came back in a wheel chair to 'bravely' thumbs down an obamacare repeal attempt lol.

I really don't think any Dev team will be as good at QA as a dedicated QA team. The mindset is very different and the context switch is hard. Checking your own work is also not the greatest of ideas.
In that case, the troll can almost always just drop the suit and then you have no claim against them.
Veritasium: A Physics Prof Bet Me $10k I'm Wrong
Over just a few days. In comparison, BC has had 1,754 Covid related deaths. Cilmate change is going to cause many orders of magnitude more misery and death.
And yet many magnitudes less concern it seems.
Depends on what you are looking for and what your lifestyle is. For me, in PHX moving from a 3200 sqft place to a place in SF that was a 30-40 minutes commute (3bd, 1500sqft) would have changed my mortgage by at least 4k/month. But realistically it might end up more like 5-6k/month... because housing in SF is stupid fucking expensive. This is just on the mortgage alone mind you, not including taxes and other expenses.

To put in perspective of how little I pay, I pay about 1900/month for mortgage, taxes, insurance and HOA (which is like $150/month because we live in a gated area). I am about 30-45 minutes door to door from PHX airport.

On the low end, it would require ~75-80k before taxes just to make up the mortgage difference, and likely be more than that.

TL;DR: Yea, it can easily be 100k cheaper in PHX vs SF depending on your situation.
It traveled over a period of two thousand years, easily possible through the diplomacy I mention.

Rare Antique Fractal Vice [video]
This is an extraordinary, profound and moving essay. I can't recall the last time I read something that resonated like this. I wish I had something more substantive to add to the discussion, but it just boils down to, "Yes. This."
There was a lot of discussion with invisible opponents in that text.. Plenty of counter-arguments but only a hint of what is this replying to.

Other than that, it seems to present a C++ version of encoding conversion library (like iconv), but instead of handling encodings dynamically it uses C++ types. So not very good for any place with user-specified encoding (like browser or database or text editor), but can be used when the encoding is known at compile time?

I can see a few uses of it, but it seems kinda niche for all that grandiose talk about “liberation of the encoding hell”.
> Most style issues should be caught by automated tools

Some style issues can be, others (“do variables, functions, etc. have meaningful, accurate, relevant names?”) can’t be, until the automated tools are backed by AGI, but at that point “code review” and “automated analysis” become...not so different.
It does not I'm afraid!
I would love to see an expanded historical context as well, but having lived through it, it sure feels like the Trump era was an absolute explosion of political media, and the Biden administration has felt like a welcome return to normalcy, in the sense that there’s not a controversy or crisis every day.

I don’t recall anything like the Trump years during the Clinton -> Obama years.

300+ of the 486 are unexpected. The title is true but its a bit misleading:

> The 486 deaths represent a "195% increase over the approximately 165 deaths that would normally occur in the province over a five-day period," she added.

> Of note: Although not all of these deaths can be attributed to the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest, Lapointe said the extreme weather is likely responsible for the surge in numbers.
The title is somewhat misleading, as "The 486 deaths represent a "195% increase over the approximately 165 deaths that would normally occur in the province over a five-day period," she added." so the number above normal is only ~300, not that that still isn't a lot more.
It’s not? Obviously it’s not nearly as safe, but coal mining sounds a lot more interesting than another geography lesson. Factory work? Maybe not so much.
In past jobs I used the Internet and MSDN and Google to research problems and debug them. Management didn't like me using the Internet even if it was job related and it would take longer to debug without looking stuff up.

Captain Stack would search Google for me, racking up Internet time, which I would get in trouble for.

It is a tool not a toy, I use the Internet instead of reading books because books are outdated as soon as they are published.
I came here to point that out too. I guess correlation does not attribute causation...only when it's not the headline.
What percentage of "sensible" Americans? If there's anything we've learned over the past several years, many Americans are not sensible.

My point is that I don't think sensibility is measurable so there is no way to assert "sensible" people want Amazon broken up.
> What exactly are you proposing then? You literally said no retail investor should be purchasing individual stocks. It's not a giant leap then to think that you want to prohibit retail investors from purchasing individual stocks. If that's not what you want, then what do you want?

I'm not proposing anything. I didn't say anything to even suggest I'm proposing something.

All I said is that retail investors, by and large, shouldn't be trading in individual stocks. And they shouldn't! It's a demonstrably less-successful investment strategy on average than index investing. Especially for completely novice investors.

"Nobody should be feeding chocolate to their dog. " "No parent should use an iPad as a substitute for actually raising their child." "Nobody should buy a home warranty, they almost never end up paying out." Which of these statements do you think are even remotely close to advocating for government intervention?

> How does Robinhood promote risky and irresponsible decision making? Robinhood doesn't force anyone to buy stocks.

In what universe are "promoting" and "forcing" equivalent verbs?

Why can't it simply be true that encouraging financially illiterate people to day trade is just an unfathomably irresponsible idea? All of the available evidence supports this assertion. Sure, some people will do better than others; that's the nature of statistical distributions. But on the whole, day traders do measurably worse than buy-and-hold index investors.

That's not a claim that all of Robinhood's customers are financially illiterate. Nor is it a value judgment against those who are. It's simply a statement that Robinhood explicitly markets their services towards people with little to no financial background, and everything about their in-app experience is designed to encourage a style of trading that is drastically more likely to leave those customers less well off than more boring approaches. And—very potentially—less well off than just leaving their money under the mattress. Countless retail investors lost absolutely everything by selling during the recession. Do you expect Robinhood's customers to do better on average or worse than average in the next one?

> Robinhood's innovation is to let them do it for $0 commissions

Robinhood's "innovation" is gamifying the whole thing and taking advantage of meme culture. If they'd managed to do that for boring-as-shit index funds, that would have been an achievement of absolutely immeasurable value. Instead all they've done is found a way to bring fresh, unsuspecting bait to the sharks' feeding grounds.

> For example, Vanguard charges a $7 commission per trade unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested with them. If you want to invest $100, you will pay $14 in commissions - $7 when you buy and $7 when you sell. Now your investment needs to return at least 14% just to break even.

No retail investor should be purchasing individual stocks.

Vanguard has $0 fees for index funds, which is where the overwhelming majority of retail investors should be putting their savings. And at those numbers, the transparent costs of expense ratios are essentially nonexistent.
If the dev wants to release their app on another app store, they would just export the apk. Pirate app stores that share apks without the dev's permission would probably need to write their own aab to apk converter and sign the apks with a key owned by the pirate app store. So this probably isn't a big deal for regular devs, but will reduce the security of apks downloaded from pirate app stores since it would be harder to verify the code integrity of the derived apps.
There's been a gradual ramp-up since the 90s, but 2016 marked a substantial jump in intensity.

when i saw the headline, I knew google would use it as a pretext to do something disgusting. Everything they do has some dark pattern to it somewhere. AMP is a great example.

You should never, ever give your signing key to anyone. Especially not google. you might think of google "they wouldn't" but in fact they can, they have, and they will again.
> I find the actual license violation argument persuasive.

I'm curious as to why it seems persuasive. Open source licenses largely hinge on restrictions tied to distribution of the software, and training a model does not constitute as distribution.
brain waves. Depends on what you are going for.

If you meditate to separate yourself from the material world then paul graham may be right.

But if you meditate to clear your mind and solve problems then I would think paul is wrong.
> Is your objection just "CRUD apps have to integrate with lots of downstreams, and so for that you want a language that has a huge plethora of libraries to make those integrations easy"?

There's real projects where you have to bind together 10 different things and using C++ is simply the most expedient option because getting FFI bindings made for everything is intractable. I have a feeling most of the people here (especially the ones downvoting me) only have web experience.
Well, we could give them all of those things, or at least pretty good analogues.
As others have asked though, how does this effect side-loading? What does the user end up downloading: an apk, or an aab? If it's an aab, can they archive it for later, like you can with apks? APK archive sites have saved my ass on numerous occasions when the developer decided to "improve" their app, forcing me to downgrade to get it back to a preferable state. And then of course there are apps that don't have the holy blessing of our Lord and Savior Google. Is it going to become impossible to load those at all without installing some weird homebrew OS? For now APKs still work on the phones themselves, but I imagine that will be stolen from us as well at some point.
A scientist believes what the evidence shows. They have no choice what to believe.

Your middle ground is rational, but the two camps live the world of emotions. The red think that abortions contradict the bible and your middle ground will be seen as a compromise with satan who's trying to deceive them. Nothing less than the second arrival will change their mind. The blue isn't much better, although they tend to defend their opinion with mental gymnastics, for they don't have a holy book with undisputable authority. Their arguments is about moral superiority, even though they seem to use logical elements.
I may be starting a longer debate here (and I hope not to), but at least the beauty of moral objectivism is that there would be an independent basis for right/wrong even if the moral “fashions” change.

I try to put this objectivism into practice by defining a goal and deciding whether actions are meeting the goal or not (i.e good or bad), but of course that’s a more pragmatic take than what moral objectivism really is.
Show HN: Searchramen – multiple SEO tools with a SEO plugin for any website
It was ahead of its time.
According to this page, those displays are not the best; https://github.com/vroland/epdiy
> According to Brock the author, daylight fireworks originated in Japan and were not really “fireworks” as we have come to know them. Instead of pyrotechnic effects, the daylight projectile contained “a grotesque balloon in the form of an animal, human figure, or other form, which, being open and weighted at the lower end, becomes inflated as it falls and remains in the air for a considerable period.”

Sounds a bit like a lost art, but I guess parade floats are similar.
I built Searchramen over the last year and a half while doing SEO consulting work due to the fact that I couldn’t find software for people who do SEO like me (heavy A/B testing and a preference for real SEO data vs scraped data) or couldn’t find an SEO Plugin for some static site generators(e.g Middleman, Jekyll etc.) .

I have been working out of spreadsheets for the last few years so it was nice to build something from scratch that was based on your Google Search Console data rather than the current industry standard of “scraped” and “clickstream” data. I wanted the software to be competitive and match what the big guys were doing so I built out a lot of standard features as well. The full feature set is below:

1. Website Metrics - Includes all your top SEO metrics such as Rankings 1-3, 1-10, 1-20, 1-100, Keywords Indexed, New Keywords, Pages Indexed, New Pages, Page Clicks, Page Impressions, Page CTR, Average Positions, Total Backlinks and New Backlinks.

2. Rank Tracking with Customised Sorting - Rank tracking sorted by Desktop, Mobile and Tablet rankings with categories for top keyword traffic, top keyword rankings, most improved keywords, declined keywords, new keywords indexed and lost keywords.

3. Backlink Tracking - Track the link, traffic from the link and linking page.

4. Universal Plugin - Change search appearance (Title and Description) on any website or technology stack.

5. A/B Testing - Test your website, website page or a specific keyword for SEO changes.

6.Brand Monitoring - Still in beta but works well for a quick look into branded search terms 7. Reporting - Receive daily, weekly or monthly reports with your important metrics. Can also brand reports with your logo for agencies and consultants.

P.S. Any feedback even if negative is appreciated. Thanks!
Correlation implies clicks.
East Asians have a higher rate of lactose intolerance.
It's biological waste grown on cow extract. Pretty sure it's not that different from other gross-to-those-not-familiar-with-it foods, it's just that we're familiar with it.

An Asian friend once told me that when she came to America as a child and someone gave her cheese, she thought they were trying to poison her. I get the sense that that's not too far off from the common sentiment for those uninitiated.
Like anything it probably varies, especially by local culture. Source, method of production, smell, etc, as well as the particular product--there's significant variety to cheeses, not to mention dairy products generally. But one very general aspect described to me is the lingering milky mouth feel and aftertaste. That person didn't much like butter, either. I've enjoyed several East Asian analogs to cheese, like stinky tofu and natto; none are similar in that regard as they go down rather clean.

And don't discount the mental factor. I've eaten balut (the Vietnamese variety that is older and more developed), dog, live shrimp, fish gut soup, etc. Other than balut, which has a livery flavor (not to my personal taste, though it's more pronounced with duck than with chicken), the flavor and texture were never particularly foreign or distasteful, per se; the aversion was mostly mental and simply an artifact of cultural familiarity. The dog stew I ate was delicious, but near the bottom of the bowl, my appetite sated, disgust reared its head and I had trouble keeping it down. Later that day I learned my partner had the exact same experience. Fermenting and consuming the lactation secretions of herd animals is, on its face, kind of gross if it's not what you grew up with.
> The important thing here is that everyone gets together and makes sure they share an understanding of the feature

So true. Communication is everything, but because it's hard it gets short circuited everywhere. Where I work, devs write their own tests. It's as terrible as you can imagine while still having a successful product. I once suggested we split to a designer/verifier model...and got the weirdest blank stares. I honestly think it's because no one I work with wants to talk to each other.
The good: .aab can be optimized by the Play store for the device that is requesting them (for example stripping resources that don't apply to a particular device)

The bad: it will be more difficult for non-Google app distribution storefronts to jump-start their catalog by grabbing APKs from the Play Store, because they won't be able to get one neat APK per listing via some APK downloader. (For apps that do want to get listed on those storefronts, life won't be very different.)

The ugly: APK distribution is a "zero-trust" model which allows the developer and the user to not have to trust the store not to make any changes to the application. In fact that's what prevents the kinds of "good" optimizations mentioned above: Google can't reach into an APK to strip resources that are irrelevant to a particular device, because doing so would invalidate the APK's signature. By forcing apps to be deployed with keys under Google's control, this trust model is broken. The Play Store no longer guarantees through cryptography that APKs haven't been tampered with between the developer's build system and the recipient device.
That's because the database fail with no changes made, and they retry the whole HTTP request with all business logic in the application re-run against primary instance. So, nothing to do with database-level stuff.

The idea is basically "there is an useful concept of 'group of queries' which is invisible to DB" :)
The point of Prophet is to make time series accessible to people who aren't experts in time series. Yes, it has some well known failure modes, but using Prophet always beats a static LY "forecast." This article is like complaining a Nissan Leaf can't outrace a Tesla.

Except...this shows it affecting all media, with the effect increasing with distance outward from what the article labels “left-leaning” (left-leaning has the least negative impact, then mainstream, then a near tie between right-leaning and far-left then far-right.)

How does this get characterized as a blow to partisan media, unless the categories are misleading and the “left-leaning” category is the least partisan?

Is the summary of the effect a lie, or are the category names the lie?
Wow.

You sound SO different from me. I really struggle to form relationships so easily, yet it sounds like you making lasting relationships wherever you go.

I find that kind of fascinating. As someone who just went back into the office with the whole intent on being more social, I still find that my interactions with coworkers are at "arms length" and are very sterile. Hard to imagine a relationship with them outside of work. That line is still very strong.

Kudos to you. But I would ask, is this an intrinsic skill or did you learn this over time?
