That's not what this tool does though. It allows you to distribute your scraping to a layer of proxies. So, the only difference is whether there is an intent to do harm to the target or merely collect data... which could be a form of doing harm as well?

I don't know. It seems like the middle to upper class is having fewer kids, while the lower middle class and poor are having more kids. This could be a bunch of different factors like most needing dual income to do well but not having time with the kids, assistance programs increasing and targeting kids, etc. The ability of people to connect via dating services is high, including the people you categorized as not passing on genetics to be able to meet others in the same category.

Competitiveness is just a motivator to be productive and focus. Arguably non-competitive high producers are the best for keeping objectivity and not getting too emotionally attached to one approach or another.

> Weird choice of vocabulary to study

I think you're confused. These are not words they chose to study - these are the words with the largest difference in recognition, from a larger corpus of words.

You're projecting some kind of pre-bias onto the researchers that I don't think is there.
Ask HN: Someone needs to reinvent stumble upon for mobile
So much written on how discovery and search have been narrowed both for the hunt for profit and the de-quirkisation of the web.

A fast, mobile-focussed stumble site that threw up site after site, possible with progressive learning of your interests might just pierce the dull dystopian boredom of modern surfing.

Anyone?

You're relying on the (inaccurate) fact that this tactic is designed specifically in mind to shut down trans-haters/trans-disinformation (I lack the right word here, but you know what I mean, people who are seen as spreading damaging and likely untrue information about LGBTQ).

Ignoring the debate about whether our methodologies should be applied uniformly, even to trans disparagers or even people like Nazis, this turns out to be a false assumption. Kelseyfrog repeatedly engages in this ("luring" Socratic methodology) behavior on a variety of topics, including ideas that don't involve disparaging trans population such as on property and the state.

Usually they are not so straight forward about their intentions, but as you have proven in a crystal clear fashion, this topic has provided perfect cover for 'frog to reveal their true intentions. After all -- anyone questioning them can be accused of interfering with some sort of process meant to limit "spread of memes" about trans persons. A convenient way to offload blame from the self and onto an unsavory other.
She was the first woman and definitely one of the few in many posts.

She wouldn't have ranked that hard without hard effort/ethic and I'm pretty sure she ( as a woman at that time) would encounter a "snear campaign" pretty early on if you're insinuations are true during her entire political career.

I do not know how it is now or have an indication of it. But the fact remains that eg. Her husband was already successful and didn't need Nancy to be successful either. She's without a doubt a very smart and successful woman on her own.

It's pretty rude to set aside all those accomplishments during many decades with simple and unsure accusations.

Additionally, I'm 100% sure the opposing side in politics would use any knowledge about Pelosi to their benefit if it was true. After all their shit that came out, the fact remains I haven't seen much (any?) facts discrediting Pelosi.

There was a time, not long ago, that more proof was needed than just yelling "lock her up" and blind faith.

> He came in at 9:30, napped at lunch for an hour, left at 5:30, and did ok work [...] And there was nothing wrong with that.

It's a sad testament to the current skewed work/life balance that the observation that someone worked regular 9-to-5 hours has to have the addendum "and there was nothing wrong with that". Of course there is nothing wrong with it, what's wrong is _not_ doing so.

This article is meant to influence opinion with anecdotes, without actually providing data. I would like to see articles like this cite actual stats on Tesla FSD accidents vs. human-driver accidents.
yeah that reminds me its something I’ve noticed too.

although I encountered something similar, in my schools they were a very distinct subculture defined by their affinity to Japanese culture, whereas what I see now amongst younger people is that many more attractive popular well adjusted women (people in general) are ok with or into anime, that style, and non-US cinema at all. I like this outcome.
I think that paper is making an argument orthogonal to OP. OP is saying Postgres is a good enough solution, that the advantages of simplifying the stack outweigh the disadvantages of using a non-optimal database for basic use cases.
First time I heard of rotators and wordcels, but yeah, when I was in high school we were actually given tests to see how much of a rotator or wordcel we really were -- the idea being to make career suggestions based on the results. I did fairly well on the rotator tests, which involved things like telling which way a particular gear or pulley in a given mechanism will turn. I struggled with the wordcel tests, which involved picking out a sequence of letters.

Do you know who ran the board on the wordcel tests? Like, all of the girls.

Just another anecdata point, so don't take it seriously.
Thank you for asking this. You are not doing anything wrong. There is more to life than being great at some niche tech skill. In many things, being a jack of all trades will help. It's perfectly okay to just treat a job as what it is, just a job and focus on what interests you or what matters to you. Many people come to this realization after slogging for many years at work. You have just realized that earlier.

The Myth of the Super-Successful ‘C’ Student
I haven't watched enough mobster movies to be sure, but I think you might have the order of operations inverted on the blackmailing process. The Don doesn't release the photos then start blackmailing, he shows you the photographs, then blackmails you, then maybe releases them if he has a reputation to keep and you didn't pay.
Grad students are so terribly underpaid in Academia. Salaries should go up 3x at least across the board for stipends. Grant funding agencies are spending millions of dollars on scientists who are only seeing salaries of at most $35k in the highest cost of living areas to do things like study cancer or climate change.

It's kind of an open secret, but usually grant aims are somewhat vague. It's up to the grad student saddled with those couple of aims for their thesis work to identify what exactly to do. To vet the literature for methods. To order equipment or reagents. To conduct the experiment or analysis. To write up and interperete the results. To outreach to collaborators and set up meetings. To draft up the results into a published paper. Sometimes grad students are even relied upon to pen the next grant. The big joke is by the time you are done with your PhD project, you know more about the topic than anyone in the department or your professor or your committee. I think that actually typically happens by third year. Professors are tied up with administerial duties, class, and several other projects they may be juggling, along with their personal lives. You are lucky if your professor has five hours a week to devote to your particular project.

It is so shameful that grad students are the backbone of modern research yet we pay them competitive salaries with In n Out. It's no surprise how grad students are so likely to have significant mental health issues considering the workload doled upon them for pittance pay that they have to figure out how to make work over years of other costs rising, while they are often without a raise.
Or does the exception prove the rule?

The fact that this is the only instance of problems says that the change effectively caused no ongoing problems.
> [Unionization] will only heighten the favoring of those who can get their foot in the $3200/mo Brooklyn rent door while dressing fashionably and using “semiotics” correctly in a sentence, but that’s neither here nor there.

Unionization leads to higher and considerably less stratified wages, which means that people from less means can afford to enter the profession. So, sure, the people who can afford rent in the cities where they work will have "heightened favoring" (aka better jobs), but they will be a different, more representative group.
Over here in the UK, Boris today announced that all restrictions are going to end completely in a couple of weeks too. So “end” of it here apparently, but I wouldn’t say the public necessarily believe Boris makes decisions in their best interest and not his own. But anyway looking forward to a summer of freedom!
Here is what workred in my recent job search, that just ended this week:

1. Messgae people on LinkedIn, the more senior in the company, the better. This was by far the fastest and most reliable way for me to get to the first round.

2. Message the company via a recruiting@, or contact@, even a support@ email they have on their website. Not as reliable as option 1 but better than the job application forms.

3. Have them contact you via a "HN who is hiring?" post, it's rare, but it does happen.

If it's a job post form, then personally I'd just consider it a loss. Don't know why, it's not like I provide different or less info compared to direct messaging, but that just leaves me ignored for weeks, or rejected with a template message.
IMO they are not meaningfully larger than US plugs (I'm British, but have travelled to the US several times, as well as many other countries), but they are safer.
> Coding interviews are the easiest interviews.

For you. I am a bit over a year into my eng career and coding interviews are far harder than any other type of interview for me. I have a handful of stock behavioral question answers that I can adjust for most non technical interviews. I do minimal prep before hand looking up who I am interviewing with to have a few questions for them and try to find a way to relate to them during the interview.

That is much easier than someone asking me anything from fizz buzz to red black trees.
That could happen. It's been working for a few weeks but I only log in every few days to check on a youtube comment so who knows. Its fine for me really. I only create throw away accounts with them.
"Providing for the family" traditionally refers to bringing in an income. Of course technically that's not the only thing, but for argument's sake.

I'm curious - are there any human cultures where the woman was the traditionally (as in, not a recent modern phenomenon) the breadwinner and the men stayed at home? I know there are cultures that were matriarchal in leadership, and that there are animal species (i.e. lions) where the female does the hunting. But were there any true "Amazon" cultures in the past?
Is this supposed to be a gotcha? It doesn't change anything from what I said. I didn't say I think he's guilty of transporting a weapon. I said I think he's guilty of manslaughter.

Makes you wonder if the US idea of using just 110 volts isn't better... not from an individual viewpoint (slower to boil water) but from the grid perspective.
Yeah like I said I realize I am being paranoid but there are far fetched scenarios where serving static sites from home could compromise my home network.

Take the recent log4j vulnerabilities. Serving static content and logging trivial fields like request headers would lead to RCE. If that box can route to my home router, and my router has a defect available through routersploit, my network is completely pwned.

A network isolated VM with a tunnel to a remote vps would stop that particular attack.

All that being said…if a sophisticated adversary is targeting me I have to concede there are much easier routes to take.

I’m a security engineer at my day job so I may have conditioned myself into excessive fear.
I bet if you charted hours spent with media in which the word "katana" occurs, you'd see a male/female ratio very similar to the "knows what 'katana' means" ratio in TFA.
Table presents p = Prob(knows word | male).

The unconditional probability P(male) is around 1/2 or a little less.

Then Prob(male | knows word) = Prob(knows word | male) P(male) / P(knows word).

---

Now, we're not given P(knows_word), but assuming answers are from a reasonably balanced sample, we know that

P(knows word) = P(male)P(knows word|male) + P(female)P(knows word|female) = [P(knows|m]+P(knows|f)]/2

Going back:

Prob(m | knows) = 0.5Prob(knows | m) / 0.5[P(knows|m]+P(knows|f)]

Which gives us a formula. E.g. for peplum, Prob(m|knows) is

13%/(13%+64%) = 13/77 ~= 16.8%

For "shemale":

88%/(88%+54%) = 88/142 ~= 62.0%

So sometimes the actual "maleness" or "femaleness" of the word is overstated, while sometimes its underestimated.

This isn't a critique of an article, it's a literal comment.

I agree with your assessment, however I don't think the response is more surveillance. If recent data breeches have taught us anything it is that data aggregation (necessary for surveillance) is just another source of Chinese intelligence.

The solution to this (and other problems of social engineering) is to educate the general (democratic) population, so they are aware of and resilient against such attacks. I don't think it's possible to stop everyone from using a given service, but if every user understands the real tradeoffs, then we have a chance. If individuals (and more importantly voters) cannot think and reason for themself, given the facts of a given subject, democracy has no future.

In general though, I think people are smart. They make decisions and tradeoffs with the information they have. The problem here is that they don't understand the real risks. More than the loss of privacy and security, the real problem here is that a hostile nation state seeks to influence the thoughts of free citizens of other (democratic) countries. This is how wars are won and lost -- in the hearts and minds of the people. If everyone who used TikTok saw the situation in a similar light, I doubt it would have the adoption it currently has.
So could this be because of 5G because if I remember right the latest 5G roll out caused a lot of problems for airlines?

I wish I could remember what it was, but I saw a few weeks ago that someone had released a new FC that included onboard GPS, dual barometers, and some other “thing” that they were marketing as fixing iNav horizon drift. If I come across that link I’ll post it. At any rate, it seems to have been getting improved with each version.

I haven’t been using iNav in a way where it’s an issue - my wings are mostly just for recreational FPV, and the big features for me are autotune, altitude hold, position hold, and RTH. Between those, I’m able to get a wing flying stable very quickly and am able to fly further away without worrying about RXLOSS meaning that I have to chase the thing down across three counties.
If they would stop with the hardcore requirements (memorization of equations, paper-and-pen only, no open books, etc) with mathematics when we could be successful with this subject. Technology advanced so much that mathematics learning is extremely behind with the advancement. We have Khan Academy, Mathway, etc. We have great resources online for us to figure out the mathematics. But nooooo, they believe we will use trigonometry, calculus and paper&pen in the real world which rarely happens (ok maybe once in a lifetime). The last time I used my calculus in the real world is actually my undergraduate year.
Thirty years ago it would have been true to say "Solar is decades away from being viable as our primary energy source, whereas fission has been ready and able for decades."

I really wish we'd gone with Nixon's 1970s proposal to make our entire grid carbon-neutral using fission, but given how the politics of that worked out, I'm also incredibly grateful that people kept working on photovoltaic technology anyway.

We're building out solar pretty rapidly, and the technology has been advancing at an incredible rate, but we can work on multiple solutions simultaneously, and solar is a clear case study in why working on not-yet-viable technology is incredibly worthwhile pursuit.
Because 'sho_hn brought this up, here's a stab at a pro/con list of building TCP/IP directly into our API the way `flyctl` does:

Pro:

+ Can just run "native" SSH directly over it (or, in our case, use x/crypto/ssh, without modification).

+ Lets `flyctl` offers a `flyctl proxy` command to users, so they can plug their own programs into whatever application they need to use, without asking us to change some proxy we run in our infrastructure.

+ Offers a single security and access control model (IPv6 private networking), rather than something we have to think about on a per-app basis.

+ In theory, we get all this right and never have to think about another network protocol in our infrastructure.

+ Allows existing network management tools and libraries to function directly with Fly.io infrastructure.

+ With the WebSockets gateway, we can do all of this stuff directly in browsers as well; that is, we can present TCP/IP as an API to browser Javascript to do UI stuff (and we're doing more and more UI stuff these days, in Elixir.)

+ Puts more IPv6 in the world.

+ Get to talk to Jason Donenfeld more.

+ Get to write blog posts like this.

Con:

- Spends one (maybe multiple) innovation tokens or whatever you want to call them.

- Way more things can go wrong; relies on state synchronization and on a clear network path between our users and our gateways. Right now, we have to care whether you can speak 51820/udp.

- User-mode TCP/IP via Netstack is probably significantly slower than a simple TCP proxy would be.

- Required `flyctl` to run a background agent process to manage multiple connections through WireGuard.

- The agent process adds to the list of things that can go wrong (hopefully we're ironed most of them out now).

I can probably come up with more cons.

...

It's buried in the middle of the post but I want to say it again because I think it's important: this sort of started out as a stunt; it's what I put together to allow people to SSH into their instances without having to install WireGuard locally, and that's all it was. I don't have to write a soul-searching pro/con list on stunts I use to give people SSH access, because lots of providers have super janky "pop a private terminal" setups. But all this stuff took on greater importance when we used it to run Docker for our remote builders.

I like the approach we're taking a lot! I don't... regret it? I don't think? I think I'm happy with it. But it's complicated.
Is there a generational thing that causes people to say "data is" vs. "data are" in this context? Because to me "data are" sounds so egregiously wrong it takes me seconds to focus on anything else.
I was using American numbers. Keto is pretty popular here - the Atkins diet exploded in popularity in the early 2000s.

I don't think it's "clear" that sugar causes cardiovascular disease. I think what is clear is that obesity plus inactivity are overwhelmingly the main causes at a population level. Obesity can result from eating lots of sugar and/or from eating lots of fat.

But just about every population level study shows that consuming red meat increases cardiovascular disease. We'll have to check in a decade or two from now to see what effects keto-style diets have on cardiovascular disease but as tasty as they are, I'm not going to take my chances with one. Everything in moderation.
I'd be interested to see how knowledge of a lot of these words breaks down by income. (I too know what a doula is; I'm not sure if I knew this before my partner was pregnant. We did not use a doula, but we're of the class of people who at least think about it.)
Men are socialized to work by the same society that women are socialized to stay home and make babies. Feminism's direct goals would be breaking that down so that men could stay home (unfortunately we cannot make babies) and women could work, or any other combination, without the traditional gender role boundaries. Feminism's goals are good for everyone.
