So I googled for 2 minutes ( actually I used a different search engine because I don't trust google much for politics anymore), and I found this:

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-a-gun-license-accepted-as-a-vot...

"Your university I.D. was issued by a university compared to a government issued one. The license to carry contains your verified address, dob and all that. What does your University one have? The LTC required compete fingerprints and a background check. Seeing some differences here?"

Also:

"I cannot be 100% certain but its because Texas requires Social Security Numbers, Background checks and proof of citizenship to obtain a license to carry. So its a valid form of state issue ID. Not unlike a drivers license. Anyone could get a University ID. so long as they’re a student there. Including those on VISA’s or non-us residents."

At some point, I hope some of you all break out of your narrative bubble and start seeing that people on the other side aren't insane, racist, and power-hungry, and that we often have good reasons for what we do.

Look up elixir sulfanilamide and thalidomide.

That's the sort of blood that writes regulations. Experimental medicine has a long, clumsy and cruel tradition.
Yup. IMHO spam has become so good at mimicking genuine content, it's hard to recognize even for a human curator. There's so many websites in the top google results that I'm sure are entirely AI generated, which exist for the sole purpose to propagate affiliate links and ads.
That's the question!

(I think it's unintended though)
Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe it was inevitable that the maturing of the winners from web 2 would lead to its death and that is the stick that drives dev of the next stage. It's certainly where my interests have turned the past few years
The text in the instant-answer bar is reversed for this result. Which could plausibly either be on purpose, or a result of the character itself being inserted and not escaped, so having its intended effect.
I kinda got the feeling that this article was mainly written to take advantage of the Wordle hype. Overall I didn't get much of substance and I felt that the main takeaway was disingenuous to what the goals of the developer were. As if it's always wrong to use local storage. I'm sure the developer knew the limitations of using local storage. And it definitely rubbed me the wrong way when the author called it "lazy" to use local storage. Probably because I've recently gotten really into building apps that put data back in users' control and also trying to reduce the environmental impact of my apps. Local storage is really great for this, and often the apps I'm building it's totally acceptable to not have your data follow you everywhere. At the very least, that is often what I'm doing intentionally. Does that make me lazy? I don't think so. In fact, I find it challenging to architect apps this way because I"m used to the traditional client/server model, which there are way more examples of and feels like the default.

I have a hard time not seeing this as clickbait.

Is it possible to store the data, extracted from my data, your service needs in my Google Cloud somewhere or will it expose your secret sauce?
Metafilter isn’t toxic at all unless you have the wrong opinions.
It could be incompetence, it could be lack of ressources, it could be that it’s just very hard to find the culprits and prove with high certainty they are guilty.
Oversight, probably. By default, the code point is displayed next to that description, and they don’t turn that off for bidirectional control characters.

I don't understand - how is the custody even part of the payment system, though?

For example, if I keep all my money in the bank, then cash is only as reversible as my bank account is solid. But "cash as a payment method is reversible, if you store the proceeds in a bank account" is not a statement that tells you anything about cash, it's a statement about my bank account.

It would be a solid article if it attempted to argue the point it proves, which is that "there is no such thing as unseizable". But it doesn't, so it isn't.
Thanks for your comment - I wanted to keep it as general as possible, and I think speed touches basically every possible use of JAX, but I definitely hear what you are saying. For DL, jvps and quick/easy Hessians (along with speed) are really the reasons to use JAX imo.

I like your comment on thinking about implementing models/thinking about them as parameterized solutions
I've been really struggling to see the benefit from autodiff... I work with DAGs, where the data processes are batches that could be processed in parallel and I would love to speed that up, or to enable some gradient descent style optimization.... but I can't figure out how autodiff plays into it.
Do you know of a good place to help learn how it could apply to my domain?
I worked for a healthcare recruitment company in a capital city with some large hospitals and a number of universities. I can't for the life of me understand why they chose to spend so much money on trying to track healthcare professionals online when they could just advertise it on-premise where they actually hang out.
Remember StumbleUpon? A similar tool but for designers/developers
You're right about the technical distinction, but I think you're incorrect that Bitcoin is truly final. Bitcoin may not have reversed a transaction yet, but it's technically feasible. Note that Ethereum did it: https://futurism.com/the-dao-heist-undone-97-of-eth-holders-...

Bitcoin mining is very concentrated, so if one or more of the major miners is robbed, it's entirely plausible that similarly situated entities would collaborate and just undo the transaction.
Oh got it, yeah I agree that the scope of the legal system is more than just resolving disputes, I was thinking of the legal system's role in finality specifically.
Yep. It's really weird if you think about it. The first time I saw a company being upfront about their ad revenue [1] I was surprised.

> The Premium fee is basically about $7 per year, which is less than what a free user generates in ad revenue. Thus leagues that pay for Premium and use an ad-blocker are generating less revenue than free users.

They charge about $20 per user per year to remove ads. I pay for that, so I'm not sure what kind of ads they have, but I'd love to see what they're advertising and what the click through + conversion rates look like.

What you said makes sense to me. I wonder if advertisers are paying a fortune to acquire users with a lot of disposable income.

My own experience tells me that most private institutions I interact with are also poorly run.

Really, anyone that has worked for a living can tell you that most institutions are poorly run.

At best, despite being poorly run, some institutions have a more consistent track record of mining value from their customers and employees than others. Those are the ones that tend to survive. As both a customer and an employee, those aren't the metrics that coincide with me having a good time with them. As a shareholder, though, they are pretty great.

Strategy I Use to Help My ADHD
Seems like this article misses one critical point. Part of the wordle attraction was the friction free ability to play. Click on a link, type in a 5 letter word and you are playing. I suspect it would not have gained popularity anywhere near as quickly if step #1 was create an account.
Try to help as you wish, but describe the problem accurately. And understand that the people you are trying to help may resist you because you are interfering in their choices.

Some people passionately want to keep drugs like fentanyl out of the country. Others think it's impractical and efforts have done more harm than good. Still others say "hand them a clean needle".

Messing with the choices people make that you think are bad for them isn't easy.
That all fell away when they were bought by the same people who bring you every other dating site like match, or so I've read.
This just sounds like a Sandstorm issue/side-effect. Of course randomizing hostnames is going to break things that rely on the underpinnings of the web. I don't think a third-party tool failing to provide additional functionality beyond what the developer intended is reason to entirely dismiss core web functionality like LocalStorage.
How to bypass India ban on recurring payments
You'll get different cash back, sure. Which was sort of the point; it's part of what makes CC useful.

I was noting that there is nothing fundamentally different between say you accepting a payment in bitcoin and refusing to cough up the key when told to reverse it, or accepting a payment in cash and burying it then refusing to tell police where.

Fundamentally there are mechanisms to reverse this, or punish/constrain you for obstructing the process. Some payment systems have them built in at a very low level (CC chargebacks), some rely on professional standard (hold harmelss), etc. Some rely on court systems. That's a trade off of convenience vs. risk, but doesn't change the fundamental point that a payment system without a standard reversal mechanism is going to have limited use.
Why? Is looking out the back window really that challenging?

Apparently, otherwise children wouldn't keep getting run over and we wouldn't need backup cameras.

Weird -- I reloaded the page, but the view counter didn't update!
The circularity of this meme is funny to me, even if the article is fundamentally true: This article is very very popular on hackernews, indicating that people agree that google search results are bad. What sources does the author draw from? He cites opinions from, among other places, Hackernews and Paul Graham.

"Find an opinion popular on hackernews, restate it in a blog post, refer to previous discussion on hackernews as evidence" may be a lucrative strategy for accruing internet points!
What drives me nuts these days is how the skip-back in Netflix on TVs /firesticks/ etc will sometimes skip back 10 seconds, and sometimes bring up a scrub bar of images. Selecting one image to the left often re-starts playback at exactly where you hit the button in the first place, and moving one farther to the left often leaves you 20 seconds back. Grrrrr
I once asked a room full of developers how many of them had watched people using their software. Almost none had. It still amazes me.
It looks like the poster is the author here, so hopefully he sees this feedback. Please, please, please pick a better contrast ratio for your text. Grey on slightly-lighter-grey is a terrible color combination for reading. I read the first paragraph and gave up on it because it wasn't worth the eye strain.

What cop do you know would just steal property back for you? This a matter for courts.

I used my last laptop for 10 years. If you actually want to "Reduce e-waste and extend the life of your existing devices", install a Linux distro with a light DE (e.g i3 or xfce).
I try to avoid doing that now. It's like going to the doctor and spending 1/2 hour explaining anything that could possibly be related to the issue for which you came. I've found that it is much more helpful to give a concise summary, and be ready to answer very specific questions as they go through their logical process to figure out what actually is the problem. In some cases they need clues but don't know which ones, and then you need to tell everything (e.g. rare diseases, or bugs that happen once in a blue moon at 10:53 when the wind comes from the North). But then, they ask for it explicitly.

I've also had humbling experiences, particularly one with me going through what I thought was relevant and a very nice tech support lady telling me the equivalent of "but did you make sure you turned it on?", and she was right.

Overloading tier-1 techs with too much information rarely does any good, from my experience.
Write a birth plan, make the doctor or hospital staff read it and confirm with them they read it.
We had told the doctor we wanted delayed cord clamping (not the habit in hk), he acknowledged it despite warning us about jaundice (he was old fashioned). Then during the actual delivery, he completely forgot about it and both of us were too sleep deprived to force the issue.

Ah, and a tourism tip for the serious engineer/nerd/machinist.

If you ever find yourself in Roswell, after enjoying the alien museum or when you get tired of the "crowds", walk a couple blocks north to the quiet little Roswell art museum. Buy a ticket and ask where the Goddard exhibition is.

I was blown away! They have what appears to be most of his actual workshop on exhibition in a recreated workshop, as well as a number of his rockets (well a lot of pieces and a couple never flown/incomplete ones). Plus, loads of the usual pictures/documents/etc you would expect of a museum. I spent at least an hour standing in that workshop looking at the different tools he was using to build his rockets. Its crazy cool, and pretty much no one knows about it because "Art museum".

Akamai to Acquire Linode
Firstly vmap() might make it easier for you from a programming standpoint. You can think of operations in terms of single instances and then autobatch them.

Also, jit() is where you'll likely see your speed increases.

As for autodiff - not every application will use it. What exactly are you trying to optimize? If you can parameterize your model somehow (e.g. parameterize edge weights) and then figure out some way to measure how "bad" your model is, you can use autodiff to tune your edge weights to minimize that metric. Not too familiar with DAGs but the first step is figuring out how to parameterize your model in a way that tuning the params can lead to your goal (and how to measure how close you are to that goal)
all i know is 90% of you folks, who are mostly young, mostly live in urban environments, mostly are left leaning, mostly work at fairly large corporations, mostly who spend your lives connected to a desk all day, have some opinions that are meme-like, as if you all were dolls with pull-strings on your backs.

It doesn't even need to be technical. Get you folks going on about leaf blowers and you all sound like the same whiny teenagers still mad as adults that your dads made you do yard work and as time has passed you warped that resentment into some facade of a political opinion.
Lots of the list are changes of physical properties of matter (e.g. breaking of physics symmetries in the cooling universe)... that are not conventional matter phase transitions between e.g. liquid and gas.
I'm not about the echo chamber part, but the HN I first started using was great because of it's tech news and the contributors thoughts/experience with tech news.

I'm not sure if it's just because of the pandemic, or the rise of far-right extremism in the USA in general, but I notice (and do not enjoy) a huge increase in the amount of political opinion that people feel the need to express. Often on subjects/topics that I feel do not warrant it.
> Ultimately, people should have control of their data, and they should have access to their data from all of their devices. Whether that is running their own or renting someone else's, that ultimately means the correct place to store web app data is on a server.

Hrm. But I don't have control of my data on a server. The person running the server does. There is currently no good way to satisfy both of these conditions on the web: control of my data, and access from all my devices.
Where did you get this info from?
Yeah I used to have that problem too. But still, if your future employers are smart enough and are interested in you, they should be able to select their preferred language if you have a bilingual profile... But yeah, it may not pass automatic screening, though
If there was ever a clear signal that working with Unicode is incredibly hard, it would be the fact that no one on HN can decide if this is accidental or intentional.
Well, usually the way to avoid a 5 pages function is by encapsulating concepts away into self-contained code. It is not by encapsulating it away into code colocated with state.

OOP is not the answer here. Class hierarchies can be, as long as they are not OOP and "classes" are just synonym for "modules".

Code and data colocation has its uses, but it's normally best fit for interface layers than internal code.
If you’re the sole owner, and the only person who benefits from the business, you still can incur legal issues directly to yourself, I believe.

This appears to be an indication of a new phenomenon correlated to criticality in cortical electrodynamics, that also correlates to consciousness as we understand it.

I usually look for these hallmarks:

1) if this is from the project's own site, it's good.

2) if it looks like an archive of the project's mailing list, it's good.

3) if it looks like an internet forum, it might be good, or it might be just another poor soul asking the same question.

4) if it's on StackExchange, it's like on the forum, except your chances are slightly better. Karma must flow.

5) if it's on Reddit, it's like on the forum, except your chances of getting an answer are worse.

6) if it's a blog of some geek, sometimes it can be better than 1) and 2), or you might just get a straight answer.

7) in any other case it's most likely a SEO farm. Run.

If I have a linux problem these days, google usually gives me the relevant piece of source code on Github from which the error message originates. Like, you're a big boy now, go figure it out yourself.

It seems we're back to the early 2000s, when search engines not so much specialized in topics, but leaned heavily towards one type of content or the other. Holy hell, maybe one day Reddit's own search will be good enough so google can be ditched for good!
There’s been some studies that are somewhat related!

This looks great, congrats - it’s great to see innovation and creativity in the email space.

I’ve just got through my first week with Superhuman, which I’ve found really productive, particularly the keyboard shortcuts. Your marketing copy seemed to make a few references to that product if I’m not mistaken. Aside from the price ($30/m for Superhuman vs $9/m for Shortwave) would you save me the trouble and outline what you see as key differentiators?

It seems like you’re targeting enterprise / teams which looks great for a work account but less useful for a personal one.
Upstart Announces 4Q and FY 2021 Results, share repurchase program
Ask HN: How to differentiate my business from a competitor with crazy momentum?
I'm a solo developer with an identical product to a well-funded competitor ABC (has crazy momentum). The competitor is well-loved and widely recognized in the market.

When I describe my startup to anyone they ask "how is this different from ABC?".

Being solo and the startup being my main occupation and ambitions to scale, it is very discouraging to hear time and again that what I've built is similar in most important aspects to ABC.

I have paying users, but operate at probably 1/1000th the scale of ABC.

I would work on narrowing my target audience and building for them, but results are not guaranteed. At this point I would like some certainty that my efforts will pay off, but honestly, I don't think I can expect that.

I'm pretty frustrated with the risk I've taken on so far and the years of effort I've put into it, only to end up a clone.

That said, I think this situation is probably familiar to those new calendar-booking apps, email apps, etc. They've found a way to stand out despite the presence of calendly, gmail, etc. I take inspiration from them and will carry on trying to find differentiation.

My question goes out to anyone familiar with this situation: how do you change your product strategy to be successful despite an 800-lb gorilla in your market?

Regardless of my question, if you have words of motivation or general advice, please share that too. I could use some positive energy from the universe today.
Personally, I'd like a vaccine for the common cold, much like the annual flu shot.

Even if it doesn't cure it, but reduces symptoms and duration, I'd be happy.
I didn't say it was an easy problem to solve. Any hypothetical fix to the dumpster fire that is my inbox would need to increase both friction of sending in the first place and the value of using the tool anyways.

And so, no, I'm not confused by the fun examples. I'm fairly clear that they're actively detrimental to me. (I may just not be your audience)
It's hardly a banal point for certain uses of cash. It doesn't matter for me buying a 6-pack of beer at the corner store. But if, say, one of your employees has walked off with the day's cash, the reversibility of the transaction becomes extremely important to you.

Given that the relative advantage of cryptocurrencies is strongest for a variety of financial crime, I think the distinction matters even more. As the Bitfinex thieves are learning, cryptocurrency transactions are not as final as they would like.
