Because our economy lacks the incentives to do so. This is a solvable problem and it doesn't require new technological breakthroughs but governments do need to put the proper incentives in place.
Ask HN: Self-hosted A/B testing framework?
I'm looking for a tool similar to LaunchDarkly to provide feature flags, progressive rollout and A/B testing with some GUI to manage it all.

But due to strict privacy concerns, I need it to be self hostable and ideally open-source.

Is there any project that you have used, or you're aware of that you can recommend?
Looked cool, then I read that there is some Apple ARkit magic blackbox in the middle of it all.

Please stop spreading literally fake news, it hurts the cause for us to stop real Russian misinformation. Things like this is used to say that ALL western media is lies

Certainly significant but that also happens on a massive time scale - the best estimates have us up 0.7 meters in 2100.

This seems to be a misleading clickbait headline (with NPR repeating the headline from the original source), this quote is from the source of the numbers:

> “Overall, these data are positive - the incidence of stroke has remained stable or declined in age-standardized measures across the U.S.,” Leasure said. “However, when we look by year, during the past five to 10 years of the study period, incidence of stroke has started to level out, and we are not seeing the same steep decrease as during the 1990s. Some of our progress in decreasing stroke incidence and death appears to be plateauing.”

https://newsroom.heart.org/news/u-s-stroke-rate-declining-in...

I'm not sure how to square those two things, potentially there's just more people aged under 50 than there used to be, so more strokes, but not more strokes per capita? Or a demographic bulge getting older and into the prime stroke years? Possibly just a stupid mistake because rates in young people (by which they mean under 50) were increasing in some areas, but not others? Possibly more strokes, because less people are dying from their first stroke and go on to have more?
Thank you google
Seems like you’ve switched the positions :)
Once the war in Ukraine is over, maybe there's an opportunity here to focus a boycott on them ?
You shouldn't do it but your only decent chance (without knowing someone at google) of getting your account back is probably to pay the ransom though I suspect this person is probably more interested in fucking with people than making money so I don't think your chances are good.
It's entirely with regard for justice. That's the goal.

You're looking for ways to evade justice. It's evident in your choice of words. You're concerned with conviction of something harmful. The harm they committed was in the other crimes. They should evade punishment for that because they managed to hide it well?
I've been getting intramuscular ketamine weekly for my severe & treatment resistant depression while working on making progress towards actual recovery. As with participants in this study I wasn't one of the lucky "I did ketamine a few times and my depression was cured" folk, but it has a huge reduction in frequency and intensity of ideation, as well as pretty much completely removing self harm.

That said it's not a long term solution (because honestly its frustrating due to losing a few hours during the work week, inability to drive, etc) so I'm working with Drs to actually resolve things without regularly being stabbed :D
That does not match my experience. The primary benefit of these papers is that you can look up the difficult to remember stuff during the exam (mostly formulas and precise definitions in my case).
Honest answer :)

Because I do not condone that move.

It will be difficult because I have been using Firefox for years and tried to avoid anything Chrome-based and I am not very happy with Google's Manifest v3 approach, but Mozilla just crossed a red line for me.
And people that are mobility impaired, such that they cannot get across the street in a shorter amount of time or be agile enough to dodge vehicles that behave unexpectedly. But that's not really relevant to the vast majority of people being goaded into using walk buttons. Many times, it's just a disservice to yourself and a disservice to vehicles.

And yes, ideally we'd use our collective political will to stop further dystopian developments like advertising at traffic lights for everyone. But when that fails (which would be likely given how saturated our society is with advertising), it's still important we exercise our individual ability to reject it, even if not everybody can.
I think money on the scale of a lifted minimum income is not the issue here.

These people want to achieve status. Minimum income wouldn't help.
>This doesn’t change anything about the exaggerated claim that this is a genocidal war. Where’s the proof?

You seem to have failed to check the genocide definition https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml . Let me copy it here :

"
Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;

Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
"

Putin explicitly announced that the main goal of that war is his final solution to "Ukrainian question" - anybody not displaced is either to be converted/subjugated by stripping off their ethical and national identity or to be killed for resistance. That is exactly by the book of the Hitler's solution for Slavic people on USSR territories back then.

How does it work in other clinical trials where you take a pill instead of getting an injection? Those are double blind all the time. They watch you take the pill, but they don't know whether it is active or placebo.

For that matter, a quick web search shows that at least some of the (injected) coronavirus vaccine trials were double blind. Seems like enough for someone in the next room to know if the maybe-ketamine injection is placebo, so they can unblind immediately in case of a bad reaction.
I feel like at some point we have to accept that unless we want to have stuff like this happen and/or sell our personal data all the time…. we as users also need to pay for stuff.

We want everything free, and I don’t blame anyone for that desire but when nobody pays the bills it comes due in some way. The result sucks when the math works out…
Bluetooth range on headsets is pretty mediocre though. Especially when blocked by body parts. I've never done an exam where the toilets were within Bluetooth range.

This happened to a friend. His life was destroyed. The only person he could talk to was the FBI. They told him they get dozens of calls about this a week. On top of that, there's a exploit that allows anyone with a dot in their email to receieve any other person email it's been active for 19 years. Google doesn't care what so ever. Google has the worst infrastructure support. There probably needs to be regulation that if your a company making over 1B a year in revenue, you need to have a basic escalation procedure and human decency... or you can't make any tax deductions, and it claws back 10 years, and it applies to all share holders who own more than $1M in stock. Suddenly, they might answer the phone!
They also always say this is the Windows where upgrades won't require a reboot (since maybe XP?).
With the same antique fossilized ABI everyone's been using this whole time. It's clearly good enough for extremely simple low level stuff. For now, until more and more of those libraries move to some future language.
very complaint about it is firewalled behind log-ins and many platforms are probably working hard to suppress negative words concerning the upgrade now too... I appreciate your experience summary. Hopefully I can continue running v10 until public sentiment sorts the BS out like I did with Win7.
I'm really confused by this complaint.

If I hit a restaurant's order button I get taken to food.google.com where I am asked to pick a platform to order on, which includes doordash, grubhub, or the restaurants own website (if available). Perhaps if only one of the platforms were available, it would direct me to that provider? (the examples I've tried have all had multiple options).

I'm certainly am not seeing this Google controlled storefront thing from the complaint, unless they are claiming the Provider selection screen is a storefront.

The first Iraq war (occupation of Kuwait) was legitimate. The second one was started under the (known) false premise of the presence of WMD:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

"The Iraq Body Count project documents 185,000–208,000 violent civilian deaths through February 2020 in their table. All estimates of Iraq War casualties are disputed."

The official civilian casualties count in Ukraine so far is 600, according to the UN. Both wars are horrible.
As @Freak_NL noted, IMAP can help here.

What i have been doing for years now is to setup Thunderbird leveraging maildir...Now, the majority of the time i do read my mail via google's webmail...but on occasion i do use Thunderbird for reading mail. But the benefit of having my mail locally accessible - as indivudual files under maildir - is that things are snappier for going through all of my messages...But the secondary benefit is that i can (and have been for years) backing up my email as files...In essence all the files under thunderbird's maildir can be copied/pasted to some other storage place/folder/network share/whatever...so i get speed and protection! Plus this (having all my email messages locally-accessible) makes it trivially easy to "re-import" (if you want to call it that) my email from GSuite over to any other IMAP-capable mail provider...it is as easy as dragging files from my GSuite-account in thunderbird over to the other, non-GSuite account within said same Thunderbird view. (Granted it takes time to push up email to the new provider this way if you have tons of messages...but its easy.) I'm sure there are more efficient methods to get your messages from Goolgle and shifted over to another mail provider...but this is what i've done, and it works. YMMV depending on the number of messages you're dealing with, and any constraints your new/other mail provider might have in receiving loads of "new" messages.
There are fewer of these damned if you do, damned if you don’t dilemmas today than there were during the Cold War. Russia does not have massive conventional forces parked permanently across the border from the Baltic states, Poland, etc., threatening invasion. It can’t afford that.

There is time for these countries and their NATO allies to put in place a conventional deterrent force (tanks, planes, troops) when it appears that Russia is placing a conventional threat across the border.

(That is all happening today)
They look stuff up all the time. There are dedicated apps for it e.g. epocraties.
Good to keep in mind that best estimates right now have sea level rising by less than 0.7 meters through 2100. 10 meters may happen some day but it will be a very slow process.

You generally can’t compare recreational and prescribed drug use, even for the same substance, because the doses tend to be widely different.

A lot of people take amphetamines as a medically prescribed treatment for ADHD (and other conditions such as narcolepsy too). A lot of people take amphetamines recreationally. Studies done on the negative heath consequences for recreational users are largely irrelevant to medically prescribed users, because your average recreational dose is an order of magnitude (or more) higher than the average prescribed dose. Increase the dose ten-told, it acts like a different drug altogether.

Plus, the irregular dosing schedule of recreational users probably isn’t helping either. And many recreational users try to get the drug into their bloodstream as fast as possible (injection, snorting, smoking), while most prescription drugs aim to be released more gradually (oral route, sometimes even extended release or an inactive prodrug such as Vyvanse/lisdexamfetamine)
> The fact that reasonable people continue to use Windows despite bullshit like this is evidence that Linux really isn't so much better

If you want actual evidence, you'd need to control for some variables like windows being preinstalled and about the only ads it got was Microsoft advertising "why not Linux" in the past. Right now you need to spend some effort to even give it a go.
Sorry to go there, but reports are that the Russian Federation is not currently making this distinction in Ukraine right now.
There's plenty of land on the already inhabited continents, even if the sea level rises 100 meters. The issues have more to do with how many of our big cities are coastal than the amount of land that will be lost.
This map is weird. I put 20m sea rise and it shows Caspian Sea expanding, roughly doubling its size. But the thing is: Caspian Sea isn't a sea at all, it's a lake (named "sea" only because of its size), not connected to oceans in any way - why would its level rise at all?

Also, it is nice to see that my family home is safe until about 350 meters rise (although it would be located on a small island in that case)
Why? Doesn't think prove that their customers are actually protected, unlike the many other popular VPNs?
I was a Google employee at the time, and wanted to login into an email with my first and last name@gmail.com. at the time I setup email forwarding so didn't have to login at all for years.

Anyway I couldn't remember the password, and their security requirements at the time was different from today (no recovery email, no verification etc). And as a good security practice they also put cool down periods for trying passwords too fast...

Filed for a support ticket, they told me nothing could be done because security of the account. I told them to send recovery info to the account in question (so that it would be forwarded to me), but they didn't. They also verifiably know who I am, and there was some amount of trust that it was my account.

I spent few hours of writing down passwords and copy pasting to find out. Eventually did.

This shit is nonsense.

> Can't we do the sensible thing and lift the minimum income high enough so that only those who want to study will go to college and do so without fear of missing out?

In my particular case, this was not an issue.

I don't want to go into detail, but the students were from a foreign country (this is part of why it was going to be a political nightmare for the Dean).

Two of the three could barely speak English (excepting the ringleader). I mention this ONLY because it was a big tipoff when reading their first exams: they all used idiomatic English phrases that were far beyond what they were capable of in casual conversation. They also used nearly identical phrasing when explaining their answers (another big tipoff).

If anything, I blame their university for admitting students who were incapable of succeeding without cheating. The whole escapade left me feeling dirty. The university admits foreign students (because enrollment/$$$). And they have to know many of the TOEFL scores are either unreliable or fraudulent.
You're basically trying to fit data to some model and to help with that you have a cost function that you try to optimize. Any decent machine learning curriculum will have an optimization course.
I've already made it a point to stop using those gas stations. As soon as it starts I stop fueling and let the station get charged the credit card fee on 45 cents worth of gas. Advertisements playing at the fuel pump make me want to smash the screen.

Yes, I know I can mute them but I don't care. I hate it.

Not enough bandwidth on the hype train, I'd guess.

I wouldn't expect them to be completely gone, but come back with a slightly clever disguise [read: mustache and a hat]

For example, gaming companies landed on both sides of it. One surely still has watery mouths, the other side has ruled it out [but may bend if the money looks good enough]

The more token (heh) efforts of pushing these has passed -- it didn't land well, but I fully expect it to continue when the 'real' economy is more certain or a marketable approach is found.
It was done regularly in my highschool in the 2000s, there'd be two or three versions of the test and they'd be distributed randomly. We'd know which one we got because of a label in the corner, which was also how they used the right key for grading.

It'd surprise me if such a simple mitigation wasn't done for more important exams...

Thank you for your answer. Could you elaborate on it?

Is it a software freedom question to you? Or perhaps a free speech one?
Unit tests.

You only need to validate things once typically. Why force the user to run validation code over and over on a code base unlikely to change?
Iirc you can’t reconfigure keybindings in any major browser. To me that’s terrible UX, preventative of richer web applications, and a usability issue.

I’m not suggesting JavaScript should be able to redefine keys without permission, but I can’t even disable CTRL+w as a power user…
Oh, this is quite interesting. The one thing I am worried about is that it's not clear if it will let us migrate to a "Google Account without GMail" (which lets you use a custom domain to create a free Google Account, see https://accounts.google.com/SignUpWithoutGmail?hl=en), but will instead require that we migrate to an @gmail.com account.

I really don't want that; I want to keep my Google Account identity the same (with my custom domain). I've already moved my email from GMail to Fastmail, so I don't need Google to host my email. Unfortunately this support page doesn't give much in the way of details, and I expect there won't be much time between when they release this tool (and I inevitably am able to confirm it won't do what I want) and when I'll have to start moving my data, which will require writing some specialized tools if I want to migrate as losslessly as possible to a new Google Account.
This person, as an evangelist, spoke at an official event run by the company. That's why I think they're special.
I think the main problem here is not necessarily the actual extent of the ice but rather rapid change and how we, people, are dependant on particular climate in particular parts of our planet.

We are all dependant on very fragile balance of various mechanisms that we do not fully understand.

For example, European climate depends very much on the mass of warm water transported by Gulfstream. Europe would be basically north Canada if not for all that warm water and precipitation that comes with it. But we also know that this stream itself depends on the water cooling up north and sinking to complete the cycle. If the water can't cool the cycle will be broken and Europe may suddenly change the climate dramatically at an astonishing rate.

I am not worried about plant and animal life -- these will migrate or adapt. Nature has always found a way in the past.

What I am worried is human toll, masses of people affected by rapid climate change that are unable to fend for themselves.
