I said I'm open to having my mind changed that CBC is not far left and you came up with this whole thing about them talking about how to go public if you quit from a workplace you find sexist as though it's some kind of supporting point. I called it a bad point and now you're crying about it.

It's not entirely clear to me that FB would have any right to ban the extension. They could attempt to keep users from using it through policies or detection, but it's running by user choice on user computers in user browsers.

I suspect in the US this would have been handled differently but loser pays against a company that can afford to inflate costs by millions per week to make an example....
> The problem with no/low code is it mirrors a DSL for whatever problem being solved.

This is the entire advantage too. If you read this like a hard constraint, your new job is to simply make sure you develop a high-quality model of the problem domain. The rest could be put on the business owners, especially if you can teach them a little bit of SQL (the world's most popular DSL).

It is possible to think a product is terrible and harms society and still use it. A lot of commenters on HN make that argument: Yea, I know their products are bad, but I simply can't stop using them because of [not so great] Reasons.

One difference: you have control over when you give yourself a pay raise instead of having to go through the org chart/board. May not be the most efficient strategy with taxes though.

I was thinking the same until I had to do the change. It was surprisingly easy. And I had a lot of poorly tested code to port.
Facebook is smart enough not to bite the political hands that feed it. As long as they pay, they’ll continue to play. Their political pillars upon which they rest abhor the free market. They’re quite safe.
> I just looked at this chart and would be incredibly comfortable driving after drinking the maximum number of drinks on the chart (5)

0.11 is very definitely impaired, whether or not you “feel” anything.

False feelings of sobriety are common in heavy drinkers (and users of some drugs with similar mechanisms of action)

Please don’t drink anywhere near this amount and drive, no matter how sober you might feel.
About 10 years ago I called an ambulance for a friend at a party. Everyone had said just to get a taxi for him, so I did. When the taxi arrived I realised I couldn't put him in it and called an ambulance instead.

He had seizures on the way to the hosptial, and was blood tested at 0.7% BAC. He woke up 12 hours later and was still 0.2% BAC (which is really drunk).
Very anecdotally, but I've found that fresh grads are more likely to avoid FB because of the reputational issues vs more senior engineers (who might have families to support or might cynically believe that all big cos have questionable anyway and FB isn't special in that regard)
I search for opinions on crypto in HN because I don't see enough dissenting opinions in the spaces I frequent. The fervor is so intense and nobody is thinking, just throwing money at it. I like my portfolio going up, I just don't think it's backed by reason nor is it sustainable.
Because ICANN doesn't want to be in the business of running a couple hundred domain registries. They are not at all equipped to do that, either on a technical or a staffing level.
it's a bigger issue for developers. The fact that I can do *nix style development, then run some script that wraps it up in a nice .app bundle and ship that off to users means that its popularity very much matters.
After checking out the link, I went to view the comments but I accidentally opened up another HN thread. I thought that I was reading satire based on this link, until I realized it was a whole set of different acronyms for a different article in AI: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28790100

It took me a couple comments before that realization though.
> There are Lisps in awk but they do weird tricks with text as far as I remember.

Not quite -- https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/... was the first and used two global associative arrays, car[n] and cdr[n], where n is an integer which iirc had to have a particular tag modulo 4, as the type tag. (Much as you'd do it in a lower-level C implementation.) I used almost the same scheme in my later Lisp.
Singapore patrol robots stoke fears of surveillance state
"facebook is a private company that can do whatever they want" – as much as i like the argument, i don't think it applies here. In the US being banned by one or few bug tech companies is almost similar to being banned by USPS, or by a store chains like safeway, walgreens or cvs. This should not be taken lightly and there should be legal protection against bans like this.

His activity of developing the tool was outside of facebook use as a user. Its ok if they ban his dev account, or the app(if it was a fb app) or try to block it.

Ideally, such cases should be tested in court, but there is such a huge imbalance between opponents, that it seems UK system is inadequate in equalizing it.
It would be possible to build a similar system via a library my team has built: https://github.com/capitalone/dataprofiler

Effectively, you can monitor changes between profiles:

data1 = dp.Data("file_a.csv") # Load a CSV file

profile1 = dp.Profiler(data1) # Generate a profile

data2 = dp.Data("file_b.csv") # Load another CSV file

profile2 = dp.Profiler(data2) # Generate another profile

diff_report = profile1.diff(profile2)

print(json.dumps(diff_report, indent=4))

The system we have generates reports, it might be worth adding it OP.
Will their salaries be lowered to match the new number of hours per week?
If trading opportunities were the answer it would have been reported as much at the time imo. Here is the justification from the U.S. house of representatives about the project at the time, in 1856:

"The necessity that now exists for constructing lines of railroad and telegraphic communication between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of this continent is no longer a question for argument; it is conceded by every one. In order to maintain our present position on the Pacific, we must have some more speedy and direct means of intercourse than is at present afforded by the route through the possessions of a foreign power" (1)

The reason seemed to be just geopolitics rather than trading opportunities. I'm curious if you know what route they were referring to in this quote that routed through a foreign power? An oversea route maybe? In 1856 we had territory coast to coast already so the caravan routes were within our possessions.

PyPy is a trade off and not universally better. It has a larger memory footprint (already a bit of an issue for Python), higher startup times and incomplete compatibility, in particular with C compiled libs used precisely where performance matters.
Mozilla doesn't mean well for me.

That said, subscriptions are the most direct, comprehensible and straightforward way.
Some banks and other services such as Privacy.com offer disposable credit card numbers to conceal your payment identity. These services work very well. You can ask Apple to offer this service, if you want Apple to intermediate for you. But as long as Apple does not offer a such a service, it is not the seller's obligation to cater to a buyer's preference to use Apple to pay for everything. An Apple user has no right to compel a developer to transact with Apple on unfavorable terms, and is therefore not entitled to the "choice" that you are describing.

The Dutch antitrust regulator has determined that Apple is not allowed to force developers to exclusively use Apple's payment system. There is no antitrust principle that compels developers to offer Apple Pay or any specific payment option. But as I said before:

> Depending on how the antitrust situation is resolved, Apple may be able to require developers to offer Apple Pay, yet still allow developers to offer other payment options alongside it.

If that's not an option for Apple, then the burden is on Apple to offer a competitive payment processing solution to be accepted by both developers and users.

It was more expensive PER PIPE for the 2.375" pipe BEFORE and it is cheaper now. So I don't fully understand why, if there's a shortage, they wanted to price it lower. :shrug: I'm happy I got some at all.

> The most damaging claim this week gained the least attention. Ms Haugen alleges that Facebook has concealed a decline in its young American users. She revealed internal projections that a drop in teenagers’ engagement could lead to an overall decline in American users of 45% within the next two years. Investors have long faced a lack of open disclosure. Misleading advertisers would undermine the source of nearly all the firm’s sales, and potentially break the law. (The firm denies it.)

The Economist doesn't think damaging society and individuals, including spreading and legitimizing massive misinformation, is especially significant, but misleading advertisers - now that's serious.

thanks so much for writing this, unlike LSH there are very few articles on HNSW for some reason, while it's one of the most efficient (and relatively simple) nearest neighbors search methods out there. There is a precursor paper by HNSW author which explains the rationale and has interesting links to network science and neuroscience: https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.06529

I personally think both LSH and HNSW should be added to standard CS curriculum because of generality and so many immediate practical applications.
When I was drinking heavily, I bought an evidence grade breathalyzer. I would use it as directed (wait 15m after eating or drinking, etc) and find that at a .08 I felt fine (which means nothing, obviously) but also I could pass FSTs and no one around me (sober or drunk) could tell that I had been drinking.

Not that anecdotes are data, just to say it 100% depends on the person and the circumstances. Alcohol hits me much harder now.
A mandatory continuous week of vacation is standard in some financial jobs. The idea is that it makes it more difficult to conceal fraud/embezzlement, but it also reveals situations where the company is reliant on one person for institutional knowledge.
I was hooked on Pepsi Max in the early 2000s. A high pressure tech support role at an antivirus vendor was the perfect environment for me to blast through a 2 litre bottle on a typical work day.

How do humans make sense of the bomb?
The first thing I'd do is determine which field(s) would have insight into the answer.

It's a question about human anatomy/physiology, diet, and evolution (adaptation). So, biology and specifically biological anthropology would be good fields to start with. If you use an academic search engine like Google Scholar, look for papers or textbooks in the field of biological anthropology (also called physical anthropology), human evolutionary biology, and primate biology.

Even though the question is easy to express in plain English, often scientific topics are discussed in technical vocabulary. In biology and anthropology, "dentition" is used as a technical term for the configuration of teeth in the evolutionary context. Also, you'll probably want to expand your search to include human ancestors (hominids/hominins).

Ultimately, rephrasing your search with some more technical language will me more likely to return science-based results. The keywords /hominid diet evolution dentition/ will get you more valuable info.

TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ITSELF:

In great apes (our clade), tooth shape is not reliably predictive of diet. Chimpanzees have large canines but are mostly frugivorous, yet they also hunt and eat meat. Gorillas have huge canines but eat mostly leaves.

The biggest change in human dental morphology over our evolutionary history is the decreased robusticity of our jaws and jaw muscles. Our jaws have become a lot smaller than those of our ancestors, and our teeth have become smaller as well. However, this change coincided with the development of hunting, food processing, and cooking, which profoundly improved the nutritional quality of hominid diets. A wolf or lion needs large canines and carnassial teeth to kill prey and eat raw meat off the bone. Humans have technology to assist with this, and thus there has been reduced selection pressure on our teeth to accomplish these tasks. Our jaw shape reconfiguration may also be an important structural precondition of frontal brain growth, and the paleontological record shows an inverse correlation between jaw size and cranial size over time.

Hominids hunted and ate meat. There is substantial paleontological evidence that meat has been a part of human diets for as long as our genus has existed. Our small teeth are fine for the job because we have knives to cut with and fire to cook with.

All of this, as I'm sure you know, is completely irrelevant to the moral question of meat eating today. But it is a wrongheaded argument by vegetarians to suggest that our physiology is not up to the task. Every single indigenous culture eats meat.

I don't really understand what you mean, universal healthcare means everyone has access to healthcare. Increasing the supply of medical facilities and staff is obviously a core part of implementing that in the US. If the government pays for healthcare but there aren't enough beds for everyone who needs one, then by definition it isn't universal.

CPA should be affected, seems like FB is giving an artificial measurement. Reminds me of the Big Short.
I've been involved in open source for a long time (well before GitHub). My experience is that there are different groups with different motivations wrt open source.

As someone who has been in the "open source for the common good" camp, there seems to be a more extreme "open source as a religion" camp.

You're not off and have given me something to thing about.

FWIW Berkley wasn't immediately what I was thinking about, but I am more on the BSD vs GNU side of things.
AWK would work greatly well on plan9/9front, as most programs are short and really compact.

On "big" Unixen (and I am an OpenBSD/Void user), for larger tools, Perl is preferred.

On speed, that doesn't matter. Perl under OpenBSD has a pledge/unveil module, and it's used to write the package manager. Problem solved.
I think she should have left it out. As anecdotes about humiliation go, it's not much. There's no mention that Sheila publicly shamed her (as the author, by the way, has now publicly shamed Sheila), she just didn't want to be friends anymore. And she's still holding a grudge against her erstwhile friend from when she was 13? People grow apart, especially around major life transitions like adolescence.
I'm curious why would this increase taxes if those contributions that get converted are after-tax anyway and the amount that gets taxed shouldn't change?

The level of naïveté you need to believe an authoritarian government building a dystopian surveillance state at home (including targeting and funneling undesirable ethnicities to prison camps) wouldn't extend that collection to foreign countries via a de facto state controlled company...well I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Great price, get in touch.

But of course you know better. You aren't a liar, you are cynical. You say things you know aren't true, in the service of protecting your greater worldview. The other word for that is "troll" - which means I won't waste my time here any longer.

Even Windows doesn't agree with that. They started with a syscall wrapper for running Linux binaries, and ended up running a full Linux kernel next to the NT one because that was faster.

There are absolutely parts of Linux with all the architecture and engineering rigor of a favela. Real big "I want a new room and have two sheets of corrugated steel, a neighbor's wall, and an afternoon" energy.

There are also major parts of it that have benefited from decades of 'this tweak that won't be driver ABI compatible increases efficiency in this use case by measurable but single digit perf'. And yes, there's politics to getting that merged, but the barrier is way lower in Linux. You try a lot of that in how Microsoft builds software and at best you put a target on your back because you just made a lot of work for another team. At worst that amount of differently siloed work just kills the idea in the first place.
500 million parameters seems like a lot, are there not duplication or redundancies that can reduce the parameters.

Facebook issues a company iPhone with AT&T service to every employee. If they couldn’t communicate with each other it’s because the phone book is not set up well to handle this kind of event.
Facebook has marketshare and utility. Until someone can come along and do a better job without all the warts of dealing with human beings and their human shortcomings, it will remain the leader in the space.
Exactly. It's as if the mob is your 'businesspartner' and you can't tell your customers that you have to pay them off, nor can you tell them to come to your home after closing to buy it there for the real price.

Well, criddell's claim is that there are a lot of people who really prefer to use Apple's payment system rather than a third-party one, such that apps that don't support Apple Pay will lose their business.

If those people really exist in large quantities (and I can believe they do!), the developer is losing business by not providing Apply Pay as an option. But that'd just lead every single customer to use Apple Pay, which is not what the developer wants. So you need to somehow give the people an incentive to choose your version, unless they really think that going through Apple is giving them a lot of value. Differential pricing seems like the most obvious way of doing that.

> Maaaaybe competition would force you to drop prices but a lot of consumer software isn't fungible and doesn't really compete on price.

That seems implausible. If you think that software prices don't matter at all, such that lowering prices does not increases sale, it'd follow that raising prices doesn't lower sales either. In that case, why hasn't the developer already raised prices?
So they are 'conspiracy theorists' too?
