I was thinking more of the number crunching bits, rather than visualization, since the original issue was around performance. But I guess visualization can be computationally cruncy too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta@home is popular with over 1 million users (more projects at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_distributed_computing_...)
Yeah the fact that a copy of this book isn't publicly available in a museum is a tragedy
My experience of Google Play is that it is 100% corrupted. I worked with companies that tried to get their apps back onto Google Play for YEARS without success. How do you solve something like “this app is not compliant with program X” when the app was never registered for that program for just that reason?

…and the "support".
I would guess Library Genesis is the most popular online textbook platform. For somewhat related reasons.
When it comes to fraud a non-trivial chunk of it originates from idiots who unwillingly do it (by getting hacked or duped into participating into the scheme), so seeing "normal" email providers there is no surprise.
Google and other trendy tech companies have a concept called Human Ops.

Human ops is designed to improve and keep safe the mental health of its engineers. They do this by using machines to do all the dirty stuff as possible. Classic example is evil image flagging problems causing genuine psychological trauma, but it's extended now to everything engineers hate like drudge work, customer support etc.

You'd need to convince the engineers that Human Ops is wrong first. Engineers like the shield and the corporation likes the cost cut.
> Payers determine if it's worth the money.

As I understand, Medicare (Part B) pays "market rate" for this drug and cannot act as an independent payer and negotiate, yet, they seem as the primary market? This market price would be set by the secondary, and much smaller, market of private payers.
> deviations from honest behavior would affect companies' reputations, and ethical people within these companies would whistle-blow immediately.

Ahh the poor naivete of scholars...
> Netflix is on the very fast downward slope

I definitely don’t disagree with this, but here’s a question for people: if Netflix used their original content budget to instead procure existing content like they originally did, would this save them? This is obviously complicated with everyone creating their own streaming service to charge for their own content, but I’d certainly be happier with Netflix if I had a much better selection of other stuff and not “Netflix Originals”.
This analogy doesn't work the way you want it to. What you are describing would be literally illegal.

The person who put up the free food and the sign, after it was proven that they willfully poisoned the food (which is the only way I can interpret intentionally encoding an infinite loop in your testing library), would be liable for assault. You cannot just put up a sign that says "taker beware" to indemnify yourself from liability, especially after establishing the pattern that the food is safe.

If you ever wondered why grocery stores throw out perfectly good food (and sometimes padlock their dumpsters) rather than donate it to shelters, it's because this is how society works. They have to be clear that even food being thrown away is not intended to be free for the taking because if a pattern becomes established of people eating safe food out of a grocery store dumpster and one day that food is not safe, the grocery store can be held liable for injuries. Even if the grocery store never wanted anyone to use that food. The hard part would be proving the store intentionally poisoned it... But if that proof were made, the law is clear on who is responsible for the harm caused, and it's not the people eating out of the dumpster.

The underlying philosophical principle that underpins all of this legal precedent is "Don't intentionally cause harm." Marak broke that principle. Thank God Marak was only writing npm libraries and didn't own a grocery store.

This entire story, from the initial changes through the breakages through third parties intervening to mitigate their services being used to cause the breakages through other third parties stepping in to take responsibility to continue maintaining the code that had become vital, is one big open source community success story. The community interpreted intentional harm as damage and routed around it. And that was always one of the intended benefits of the open source approach, right? That the creator of the software can't ruin your day because they feel like it? Whether that creator is an evil corporation refusing to open their proprietary code, or a rogue actor deciding to take a sledgehammer to the pipeline... Open source mitigates the harm caused by both.

I think transaction share (ie number of swipes).

The main issue for me is that its a big number - Amazon and Visa will have much more detailed models, but the direction of travel is the same - will people swap to Mastercard or just not buy?

They meanwhile don't bother to mention that Archer Daniels Midland gets a truly monstrous subsidy from the US govt for making ethanol to put in fuel.

ADM and Cargill are in competition to be the worst corporations in the world.
You could sign up and immediately cancel. Your access lasts a month at that point. I think JustWatch has notifications or emails for when new seasons drop.

Also it's about the easiest task for a marketing team to email you to resubscribe when a new season of a show you watched comes out
How long do you think that would last given the prime strategic location? Do you think any other countries would like a large base 1/2 way between Asia and the US mainland?

I think you were lucky they told you anything. On Quora they just say "your answer was deleted for violating Quora policies. Click here to read our policies."

This sort of "tell them nothing" approach seems pervasive in the online world. Blame the lawyers.

Their lawyers must caution them "Don't give any details. That just opens us up to more questions & legal actions." The fact that it's completely self-serving and proves they don't give a shit about you is kinda irrelevant. Who are you, after all? There are millions just like you.
I only just now realized it's Edie and not Eddy. My Berenstain Bears moment here. I swore it was "Rusty and Eddy's", and I never called it because it just didn't sound as cool as something like "The Hell Pit" or "Nun Beaters Anonymous".
A great man whose life ended far too early. I only wish the dignity MLK showed would be alive in political movements today.

EDIT: to those in the comments suddenly bringing up BLM - I didn't mention a single particular political movement. I think both sides could benefit from a huge dose of dignity tbh.
This was key. I built a couple of minor, but useful for me, apps by simply following the docs at the time.

The major difference between Apple docs, and Javadocs at the time (Java was the actual language I used to program in), was that Javadocs was basically API references, whereas Apple docs had API references but they also had guides that went into the why, and the best practices, and even occasionally alternatives for edge cases, etc.

And the fact that it was available offline as an optional download with XCode was a massive bonus at a time when ubiquitous Wifi and internet was not a thing.

It was a real surprise to me, after having stepped away from any sort of Apple development for a few years that Apple's docs were considered bad.
I appreciate the sentiment for which this was submitted, but in reflecting upon MLKJr's legacy, please realize that he was far more than this one speech. He spoke about workers rights [0], civil rights backlash reparations [1], the dangers of incrementalism in civil rights progress [2], condemnation of the Vietnam war [3], and more [4]. Please resist the temptation to reduce his legacy to an out-of-context " content of their character" and call it a day.

And please remember that MLKJr was widely disliked in his time. [5]

> And matrix is proof this works. After trying it again this year, I think they have finally created a product which works really well.

The server and clients improved. The protocol did not improve.

The protocol is still designed to be a metadata sponge that proliferates this data as far as possible. There’s no way you’d design it in the same way today if you didn’t have intelligence funding in the earliest stages…

If XMPP clients improved, you’d say the same thing. “Wow, I guess XMPP works”

I know Facebook is cancer and all but I'm still surprised they'd be leaking them as their business model relies on capturing personal data but not giving it away.
Unfortunately it is still a dream. I've seen too many people quote only the most famous line as if the dream were already true, as a way to ignore the injustices that King cited. It became better because of King and continued to improve, but it remains a struggle, and many want to reverse what has been achieved.
Or maybe it is simply a group of people who love jodos vision for dune. the idea of a film as a guiding prophet, visions of a flowing creative universe. and we want to play with that.

so we raised a bunch of funds and bought a cool book. now we are making an animation. we've been discussing ideas like sending funds to the makers of Jodorowskys Dune documentary which didnt even break even, as a way of thanking them too.

y'know, playing in the way we were taught, as hackers, as kids who grew up on the internet. To go out and do things, make things. hang out with our friends.

Why aren't Apple's shows (and movies?) appealing to you? If you dropped them on HBO I wouldn't know the difference. There are lots of different genres, great actors, and compelling stories.

We have Netflix (via T-Mobile), Hulu, Prime, HBO, Disney+ and Apple TV. Some of these (Disney/Hulu) are from family or friends. WE only pay for Prime (probably the lowest quality of all of these) and Apple TV (because of Apple One subscription).

HBO and Apple TV and Disney+ have the best quality content IMO. Netflix is kind of around there sometimes but a lot of just pure garbage (Looking at you Cowboy Bebop). Hulu isn't bad. Comparable to Netflix but less content. Prime is just bad for the most part. If Wal-Mart had launched it instead it's about what I'd expect it to be.
Malware triggered by its absence? If the device disappears, it's likely because it was found and removed, so malware that starts erasing data or otherwise causing confusion or covering their tracks is a plausible next step (though not a good one in this case, given that the device itself led straight to the person who planted it).
Yeah, they didn't come up with that on their own. But if others who I'd suppose will have to deal with the same regulations fail to make the best of it (e.g. if those others just check the boxes with some clever accounting tricks) it can very much become a unique brand feature. "Stuff that picks up unique qualities of country x fiction while pulling it up from the usual country x provinciality to global standards" can be a very powerful formula.
Calling Honolulu uninhabitable is kind of silly.

Pearl Harbor is an enormous base. Incidents like this tell basically nothing about the base rate of military vs business vs residential environmental accidents.

And it's not about "military protection" as much as "the US military pumps ridiculous amounts of money into the local area".
Ask HN: Can all the features of modern Web be implemented in a much simpler way?
Having read https://drewdevault.com/2020/03/18/Reckless-limitless-scope.html, I am now trying to understand if the entire feature set of the modern Web (not the HTML/js/css themselves, but the end result) can be reimplemented in a MUCH saner and simpler way (reading: hundreds or thousands of times simpler), at the same time yielding the same end result (given web pages are rewritten, of course).
What do you think?
Vpn unlimited offers only a few servers that vsyou can use for torrents, it's blocked on most of them
While I am completely in agreement with the intent of this aphorism, and also what the article says about the relational model, I feel this is (as aphorisms tend to be) something of an exaggeration. I think, for example, that it would be difficult to deduce the rules of cricket from its scoresheets.

Tell me your tables' semantics, however, and I think one could do much better. ..

I suspect that, when Brooks made that comment, he was probably thinking mostly in terms of programs for entering and reporting on that data. We're doing a lot more now.
pretty vile race baiting. no single argument in the first 4 paragraphs, just hissing implications of racism levelled generically towards people based on their race.
Almost every military base and aerospace contractor. A nearby high school is going to be a superfund site soon because after WW2, some jackass decided to just dump toxic chemicals, and the underground plume is migrating faster than the remediation efforts.

If you look at a map of pollution sites, it’s pretty easy to see where defense related stuff was active 1940-1980. Look around Stanford, the old Grumman facilities on Long Island and Burlington, MA.

It’s not universal, people just don’t bother writing posts with the opposite perspective because it’s boring. Tiger was my first version of OS X and I think what we have now looks much better.
Is it really rarely? I feel like I'm hearing about it all the time. The comments in this thread reenforce this feeling. Having to make it to HN frontpage to get support from Google seems also a much too common occurrence.

My assessment would be false positives are way too high and customer support is close to non-existent. And we're hearing only about a tiny fraction of the problems with the majority being stuck in customer support hell.
You can’t conflate unsolved problems with unsolved organizational problems like that. If you are really into the politicking and people stuff, sure. But that’s why I love being an IC. I want to build stuff to solve our user’s problems. Sure, I have to navigate the org stuff to have big impact, but that’s the part where I want to spend the least focus. Which is a part of how I’d measure organizational dysfunction.

That said, I’m grateful for people who are really into the org stuff. I’ve worked for a savant at that stuff and it really did improve things. Thank you all who suffer the politics on behalf of the rest of us.

The "price realized" includes the buyer's premium. It's a bit of sleight of hand auction houses do in reporting results.
Thank you for your thoughtful answer, appreciate it.

I agree that the relationship aspect of university is probably very beneficial.

Is it worth though to spend several years of your life in university "just" to interact socially with other people? My reasoning is that you could just go to meet-ups and events where "smart" people gather and make friends there.
>I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Hasn't this problem been solved for decades by diceware?

Use words as your characters with a dictionary of a few thousand words. Assume an attacker knows the dictionary. Make passwords that are too long to brute force (40+ characters). Use enough words that a dictionary attack is also infeasible (4+). Add a salt if you're feeling extra spicy.

Entropy is sufficient if you use the right language model.

Actually, we're not speaking anything here... We're WRITING the name. If you want to be pedantic about it, you could at least get that right.

English spelling of transliterated names borrowed from other languages is pretty arbitrary. There isn't really a "correct" version of English spelling for any word, let alone words that did not originate in English, and which contain phonetic features that do not natively exist in English, and for which written English has limited conventional support.

Just ask anybody with surname imported from China or Korea to the US... There are often multiple valid spellings of the same name,supportinging on the vagaries of time period, accent, and immigration authorities. There is no single unified "correct" definition of any of these words, any more than there is a correct definition of the best shade of blue.

You may be confusing what YOU were taught for some kind of world standard... If so, I should point out that you sound like a jingoist. Are you deliberately trying to provoke people, or are you simply ignorant?
Apple clarifies alternative payments on iOS and will still take a commission
There is a whole economy around spam at some scales: sometimes the spammer (the one actually sending the mail) has convinced a scammer (or slightly less illegitimate seller) to pay them to send mail because they claim to be good at getting through - in those cases the spammer actually gets paid a small amount (depending on their situation, a small amount to us could be a huge amount to them) no matter what.
OK, fine, don't believe it. I'm not here to convince you how it's nigh impossible to prove what a person is thinking at a particular time. Mandatory reporting is basically a thought crime, if you have the wrong thought (thinking someone is abused), you go to jail for having that thought and not telling someone. Thought crimes are basically impossible to prove in anything other than a kangaroo court.
Indeed, his life was dedicated to defeating three evils: Racism, Militarism, and Poverty. Reducing it to only racism ignores most of what made his work so important.
>The play store review program is there to serve the installing users, not the app authors, so even a high rate of obvious false positives is probably considered acceptable.

This article should provove that Google incompetence exists and it works in both ways, it blocks good apps and there is no reason why bad apps would get away.
I mean code like

if(shity title translation constains an word from illegalWordsInEnglishList)
proves there is no super clever AI here but at best a quick workaround , so if quick workaround or shity code is allowed why would you be convinced that the "security" scans are better? (we found that 100% Apple security scans are as bad so I won't be surprised if a Google dev also created a list of illegalAPUIs and does a naive search that clever developers can get around with a bit of clever reflection/dynaimc class or obfuscation)

TL:DR I am not convinced that badly implemented policies and shiutty implemented security scans do not affect the users.

Notably, the printing press didn't immediately make good knowledge more accessible. A press was a very expensive, risky investment, and so was the typesetting of any particular content. The first killer apps were indulgences and polemic pamphlets. So basically a money racket and influencer content. Not much has changed.
Ask HN: How do you find a good recruiter?
I get contacted by recruiters on LinkedIn fairly frequently. The positions mentioned are almost never a fit. Usually the skill-set is wildly different. When I respond with questions I either don't get an answer or the answer is low quality and doesn't address my actual question. (Indicating to me the recruiter is definitely not on MY side.) Most often they don't contact me directly via email like I ask, because LinkedIn email winds up in my spam folder. (Again suggesting low effort and little concern for me.)

I'm actively looking but have had lackluster experience with recruiters. Is it worth opening myself up to recruiters at all? (Obviously many job postings are via recruiter, I'm not referring to those occasions. I mean working with a recruiter myself.)

Which is pretty incredible, since Tiger was the first public version of OSX to have distros for both PPC and Intel!
