There are lots of open source projects that aren't bait and switch, like the Linux kernel, or Python. So I would encourage you to reconsider a blanket fork-everything policy and at least contribute to the projects that aren't backed by VC-funded companies and instead have a diverse community of contributors with multiple copyright holders.
Why would they waste their time testing and maintaining it for the forks?

Those other forks are (alsoA) open source, what's the problem? Maintain your own library if you need it.

I guess the point is that Countdown in Australia and Top of the Pops in the UK were prime time and very mainstream.

In Australia then there were only four TV channels (with no subscription TV), and Countdown on Saturday evening was the thing that most kids/teenagers watched, in many cases with their parents. And without even many music radio stations operating, it was a primary way people discovered new music, and it was a hugely influential program.

A lot of artists we remember as the biggest bands of the late 70s and 80s – e.g., Blondie, ABBA, John Mellencamp, Meat Loaf, Boz Scaggs and Cyndi Lauper – had their first chart success anywhere in the world in Australia, thanks to being played on Countdown. Politicians would go on there when campaigning. Prince Charles even appeared in a famously bad interview.
> I’m concerned about mass migrations from the developing world

I'm actually looking forward to a complete reversal of this trend as self-destructive policies in the developed world make them unappealing places to live in.

Add chronic weather anomalies which increase food scarcity, and compound with the policies in place that will cause a serious decline in QoL, and suddenly an exodus to the developing world seems much more likely. There is more arable land there, energy will be cheaper, and the policies in place will not sacrifice humanity for the environment.

To what degree this changes in the West as the populace realizes that the way the West becomes "green" is by rewinding their QoL by 100 years is yet to be seen. The indoctrination is strong, the propaganda machine in place, and the elites have no problem flying to Davos while the people they claim to represent cannot even drive to the grocery store because energy prices are so high.

>In fact, the collective intelligence usually performs better on certain failure modes; it is easier for two people to find each other's blind spots than one person inferring their own

I'm not so sure I buy this one. A few years ago Amazon decided to silently delete 1984 from people's Kindle devices. One common refrain was that this is 'only the kind of stupid decision a collective can make', because no individual lacks the common sense to come up with that idea.

It's the kind of bureaucratic stupidity that you get out of mechanic, group momentum. I don't think individual stupidity is like that at all, there is a qualitative difference. Individual foolishness is maybe sentimental or stubborn or attached, whereas collective foolishness is sort of autonomous.

Kind of like a cult. Not only are blind spots harder to spot in homogenous groups, they even can conjure delusions up that nobody would ever even come up with on their own, because it takes the force of a 100 people to convince you that something is real that doesn't even exist.
It was an interesting distinction in the nineties to make whether languages were interpreted or compiled. Then things got complicated when we started compiling things just in time. And then things got even more complicated when we started compiling compiled languages to imaginary instruction sets that we then interpreted at run time only to compile them just in time. To make things even more complicated, Java now has an ahead of time compiler too.

Java was merely the one of such languages and instruction sets. If you look at WASM, it's exactly the same vision: a portable instruction set that can be run anywhere. Except this time it's optimized not for just one language but any language and the most popular languages on it currently are C++ and Rust, which are compiled languages not intended for this kind of thing.

There are other ways to compare languages but their run times are a bit apples and oranges. Typing systems have evolved too. Java now has inferred types and ruby and python now have type annotations. The lines blurred. Purely dynamically typed languages still exist but are increasingly sidelined in favor of at least partially statically typed languages (e.g. Javascript vs Typescript). Assemblyscript takes that to the next level and compiles to WASM instead of Javascript. You see similar evolution in the Ruby ecosystem (e.g. Crystal). And the python ecosystem, which has multiple compilers.

The distinction has ceased to be relevant. It's more about what kind of limitations you are willing to impose in exchange for performance. Rust makes a few very clever tradeoffs here where they do a lot of heavy lifting with templates to provide so-called zero cost abstractions. People even attempted REPLs for it. It's a scripting language!

Amit Singhal, who was Head of Search at Google until 2016, has always emphasized that Google will not use artificial intelligence for ranking search results. The reason he gave was that AI algorithms work like a black box and that it is infeasible to improve them incrementally.

Then in 2016, John Giannandrea, an AI expert, took over. Since then, Google has increasingly relied on AI algorithms, which seem to work well enough for main-stream search queries. For highly specific search queries made by power users, however, these algorithms often fail to deliver useful results. My guess is that it is technically very difficult to adapt these new AI algorithms so that they also work well for that type of search queries.

While the old guard in Google's leadership had a genuine interest in developing a technically superior product, the current leaders are primarily concerned with making money. A well-functioning ranking algorithm is only one small part of the whole. As long as the search engine works well enough for the (money-making) main-stream searches, no one in Google's leadership perceives a problem.

Naturally, this would be a good time for a competitor to capture market share. Problem is, the infrastructure behind a search engine like Google is gigantic. A competitor would first have to cover all of the basic features that Google users are used to before they would be able to compete on better ranking algorithms.
> Dont hate on electron

> takes a significant amount of knowledge and work to fully customize a buttons appearance

I think it might help you to understand a significant part of the hate comes from this frankly pathological focus on how your application looks precisely instead of on an in-depth focus on what it is supposed to do. You can design and build a perfectly acceptable actually native application that looks nice if you let go of the need to have three extra pixels of horizontal spacing around the text of your buttons.
Hey, first of all kudos to you for all your hard work and having the heart in the right place.

I don’t really want to take any specific position on this issue as I don’t have enough context to make a fair assessment of the situation. However, I do want to point out one thing:

By supporting a specific approach to solve a problem, you generally remove some incentives to solve the problem in some other way.

Minted to this situation, I think it would be interesting to ask what are other potential solutions to the problem of child abuse and how effective may they be compared to things like PhotoDNA? Is it the biggest net benefit you could habe or maybe even a net cost to work on this to solve the problem of child abuse?

I don’t have the answer but I think it‘s important to look at the really big picture once in a while. What is it that you want to achieve and is what you are doing really the most effective way of getting that or just something that is „convenient“ or „familiar“ given a set of predefined talking points you didn’t really question?

All the best to you :)

Amazon has different tiers of support. My understanding (from a few years ago, after being very persistent on an issue), is that their chat support people are relatively dis-empowered compared to their phone support people. So it's totally possible that one support channel could solve this problem, and other ones can't.

And if that's the case, the fault is totally Amazon's: no customer should have to understand their bureaucracy to that level of detail to get their issue resolved.

If the item isn't full-filled by Amazon (ie my stock isn't in an amazon warehouse) then I need their address details and phone number (for the courier) to ship the item.

Dealing with Amazon, as a seller, can be a terrible experience. Using their full-fillment service more so. They don't check returns so the next customer night get only part of a product, or in lots of cases a bogus product when a buyer fills the box with other cheap junk.

Well, the imagery is intended more as an emotional way of coping with grief than a precise conceptual tool. But to be a bit more exact, the way I interpret death is not literally extinction of us as a species, but the deaths of many individuals, animals and our way of life 'as we know it'. Reducing this to mere change seems wrong - it ignores the aspect of loss which isn't exactly the same as change, so I don't find that meaningless or watered down at all.

Honestly I personally don't really care about whether humans go extinct or not. I don't find the existence of us as a species intrinsically valuable, even though I do find individual life, when it's there, very valuable. It's the suffering I'm concerned about. That's why the adaptation story doesn't do very much for me.

Calling trench warfare stupid because of conceptual obsolescence seems suspect. It was a new problem with no obvious solution. Trench warfare in the US Civil War didn't end in such a stalemate so there wasn't much precedence, There were newer automatic weapons and a vast scale of the armies covering an entire front that hadn't been seen before.

A stalemate might have been the best available outcome at the time where other alternatives would allow enemy advances. I believe the only "solution" was the tank which had yet to be invented and it's invention was a direct consequence of the stalemate. It doesn't seem right to call someone stupid for experiencing a problem that led to an invention.

I would only call the pre-tank strategies "stupid" if the decisions discarded available information and solutions.

"unlawful or harmful."

This is getting out of hand.

First, child pornography. (US) Then, Holocaust denial. (Germany) Then, criticism of Islam. (Most of the Islamic world) Then, criticism of the monarch. (Thailand) Then, criticism of the ruling party. (China) Then, promotion of LGBT lifestyles. (Russia).

And that's just the "unlawful" part. "Harmful" can cover bullying, fat-shaming, gun rights, negative product reviews, unauthorized benchmarking of software... All of which have been punished by one or more dominant companies.

All this gets applied arbitrarily, with no hearing or recourse, of course.

The ATA has less and shorter baselines, each made of much smaller collecting elements than the (E)VLA. Put simply, baselines bring resolution, collecting area brings sensitivity, and both are intricate (the longer the baseline, the more sensitivity you need).

Have a look also at VLBA techniques, which allow for even higher resolutions. Such a technique was used with the EHT to "image" the M87 blackhole.

Yes, except the world is large and frankly in most parts of the world 9/11 doesn't factor very large in memory. As such, I doubt it was the single most important factor in changing this feeling of world peace which again, definitely didn't exist outside of the US. All you need to think about to see that is look at why 9/11 happened and think of all the murdered people those folks must have seen to get that angry.

> More research across disciplines is needed

Lack of research is not the bottleneck here. Having worked with a Canadian environmental non-profit on ecological impact assessment (how are natural events interconnected, how effective are our environmental efforts), the problem of natural disaster prevention is moreso a problem of political and economic will than actual science/modelling/data.

For example, there are obvious things you can do to reduce flash flooding and wildfire risk and damage, but government/taxpayers/corporations are often unwilling to take these measures since they:

- are expensive, though eventually more than make up their worth in disasters averted and scale of disaster reduced

- are not immediate fixes, since they usually involve restoring ecological health i.e. forests, rivers, ecosystems

- are not guaranteed to prevent disasters - only reduce their occurrence and severity

- generally involve reducing the "development" (sprawl) of cities and the "productivity" (unsustainable practices) of big farms

I hope this summer increases environmental disaster prevention budgets everywhere. May the Ministry of the Future wet bulb event never happen.
Some people try to adjust their opinions by getting pieces of information and considering which ones fit and which ones don't within a (more or less) rational frame.

In contrast, everyone has their opinions biased by what they repeatedly hear others say. And if they "like" what they hear, the story, then almost everything is lost.

But it's not just "don't let the facts get in the way of a good story", it's more like there's a lot of people who is incapable to see that some pieces simply don't fit together. They understand what a contradiction is, but it can't reach their eyes when there's a story that already shines more brightly for them.

Not a lot of people believes they "can reason about complex systems based on their gut feeling". That's what you see they are doing, but that's not how they think about it. They simply see a bright light, and call it understanding. You are only pointing at dimmer lights beyond their blindness. First, you need to teach them how to put pieces of information together in a field where they aren't blinded by a nice story already. Then, they have to start applying their newly found rational thinking to other areas where their gut/irrational/random feelings are stronger, until they see that those are very fallible.

No one has so much time though, so we shall continue giving them flak and trying to become great preachers on HN instead.
Is learning whole encyclopedia and 10 natural languages useful to be a good computer scientist?

Yes, of course! Is it the best way to spend your time having the goal in mind? Maybe not.

The issue with "learning math" is that there is more math being created than you are able to learn.

"a good computer scientist" is very broad.

Does it mean "a good 3D engines programmer" - then probably you want to know linear algebra, things like quaternions etc.

Does it mean "a good browser front end developer" - then probably you want to invest your time somewhere else, maybe web design, learning how to sketch.
Counter example: I had an argument with someone in Bay Area that boiled down to the fact that my existence is adding CO2 to the atmosphere, which is absolutely true, and that I should feel guilty.
Computer Science is a very wide field. You can be a successful Computer Scientists with very little math background. For example you can invent new network protocols without too much math. If on the other hand you want to invent new approaches for solving Linear Programs, you'd better be very good at linear algebra.
