I have seen many studies where they say that qualified investigators can have access to the data if they sign lots of forms, agree to collaborate with (not just acknowledge) the original authors, and wait six months for this all to be approved. I expect that I would be approved if I did all this, but it's not worth it. In some cases I suspect the study is flawed, but debunking it months later would be a lot of work for little return. In other cases, the study looks OK, but without ready access to the data to confirm this (and perhaps get more information with a more sophisticated analysis), it's really pretty much worthless.

Yes, worthless. As in no one should put any weight on such unconfirmable "evidence". It's just wasted effort by the investigators, who piddled away their time (and their funding agency's money) because they're not willing to release the data.

These are not studies where one would need 3 months to just understand what the variable names mean - perhaps the data was extracted from such a huge database, and perhaps there are issues with how that was done, but there are also quite possibly issues with what they did afterwards, which can be examined separately.

Comments by unqualified people on twitter are a fact of life. You can't get rid of them without also eliminating comments that reveal mistakes (even fraud) in what superficially seems like authoritative research. Your judgement that such uninformed comments are intentional lies is probably untrue in most cases.
I think Ken Shirriff would have something to say about this.

20 Years ago, you had a single computer with the data, the program, and the display all in one place with a native OS and API, like Win32 under Windows 2000 or XP. You could compile a single EXE, and it would work almost anywhere. You could reliably count on the display being at least 640x480 pixels, with a mouse and a user who knew how to optimally use it and the keyboard.

Now you don't have the data, program, or display in one place, sometimes not even in the same country. You've got different technologies that are always being obsoleted, across all the layers. Server OS, Database Layers, Web Server Layers, Cache Layers, DNS and Certificates, Encryption, the different platforms that the user might have from a Windows PC, or Mac, or Linux, or a tablet or phone with almost any resolution. Each of which has it's own set of filters and restrictions on content, cookies, anti-adware, security restrictions, bandwidth and performance differences.

You can't expect the latter to be anywhere near as consistent, reliable, or stable as the former. With the exceptions of bandwidth, and GIT, things have gone DOWNHILL in the last 20 years, and I see no slowing of this trend.

Not to mention the APP stores that can arbitrarily cut you off, without recourse.
Not sure why it seems MacOS related, but same thing here on mac (safari and firefox).

I added a `#button:active` style to see if it was actually leaving it activated after dismissing the context menu, but apparently no. Not sure what the cause is.
No, I think the point I was trying to make is that "Capitalism" doesn't exist, it is a made up term.

I live and work in a cooperative. It is not rosy. "Decentralization of power" means nothing gets done, everything is late, no one takes responsibility of things until one person is bullied enough to do it.

There is no "Capitalism" that you're fighting against. You are fighting against 2 things: normal human interactions, and people who exploit those interactions.

I think you should focus on fighting against people who exploit those interactions, focus your efforts.
You seem to be saying there's no difference between anything. That is not true. The same set of inane 1-2 line comments repeated ad infinitum simply contains less actionable information than a single well thought out, coherent, and accurate response in a more specialised subreddit. There is nothing useful you can do with reading comments in r/politics.

For the record, lots of people deride the so called 'best practices' in business etc. I'm not sure if that is a serious question. Business, management, programming, HR - all are filled with many people doing utterly atrocious things. Not sure why you think people criticising echo chambers are okay with 'massive' echo chambers.
It's kinda sick how corporate America seems to operate.

Unlike many here I was a lowly laborer for most of my early life. In the southeast USA. And you know what... people just weren't that racist. When I was landscaping I worked with hispanics, blacks, whites, you name it. It was a pretty fair system of...can you do it. We were gruff, made fun of each other, and yeah...lot of 'racist' jokes. In fun. But we were pretty tight.

I avoided computers for that time because I found programming depressing (and still do, really). But the money was too good and I moved over, naturally.

Holy hell where are all the hispanic and black folks? Nonexistent. Then this company I work for has the nerve to tell me to be more accepting stop being racist, because I am even if I don't know it.

The world sometimes feels like a weird joke to me.
Indeed in California where I live we have our own minimum wage, and I believe cities like San Francisco have their own too.

But when someone says

> I wonder what the USA would look like if minimum wage was defined as; two people being able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment within a 1 hour drive without traffic.

Then "nothing stops local government from doing it" seems to me to lack the aspect of wonder the parent had intended to evoke.
Sure, but languages aren't designed to provide secure isolation on a module-by-module level. The encapsulation that exists (e.g. private fields) isn't for security.

Or is there some security feature of node or JS that I'm missing?
Thanks! Yeah it is very rare for me to have such vivid dreams but that one really stuck!
most desktop toolkits by now support mobile platforms too, so why would you use a web toolkit? if your app needs to be able to deploy on the web it probably has to be completely rearchitected anyway.

Shrinkwrap is a tool that attempts to overcome some of the performance limitations with how software may be packed in store-like models by freezing the dependencies directly on the executable.

Hm. So it binds like static linking, but with the dynamic linking space overhead that you pull in the entire library even if you only need some of it?

One of the arguments for dynamic linking is that you get upgraded for free when new shared objects are provided. Does this break that?
Not sure what this is in reply to, but the graphics card companies operate on profit. The retailers operate on profit. Hosting services requires paying for them.

You want someone else to do what you aren’t. That’s not how it works. Prove its worth on the market.

This is a project I built myself, and is actually quite technically interesting. My comment was flagged nonetheless.
Also...the whole argument falls apart when you realize fast food is open during school hours. Legal working hours for teenagers start after school and end before typical closing times.

They also make medium format mirrorless cameras, which are a great way to feel superior to all the people who think "DSLR" is what you call a high-end digital camera.

I can't quite bring myself to spend the money to get a GFX 100S though.
And isn't that normal? If you remap your ECU to use a different fuel mixture that voids the warranty right? That's what google results overwhelmingly say. And it makes perfect sense. Users might alter the firmware to run at a suboptimal setting that increases wear. Would you expect a manufacturer to honor warranty if you bolted on a turbocharger?
Oh, I misread as the barrier of entry to crypto. My bad.

On topic, you could just have multiple payment methods side by side.

Ask HN: Windows vs. Linux stability what is your experience
I'm currently doing all development and IT support for a medium sized business.

I come from a Linux shop and am now supporting a fleet of Windows workstations and servers along with development tasks.

I have found that there is a shocking amount of instability with Windows servers and workstations. I can't believe business can operate like this. I'm currently trying to rebuild a critical PC as it freezes up all the time. Debugging the issue is a nightmare.

Our servers regularly stop working, some interaction between active directory and DNS. I haven't been able to get to the bottom of it. Every second Sunday the server requires a reboot else the entire network doesn't seem to work.

This didn't happen with Linux things just worked or you knew why they didn't.

Is my experience typical or just bad luck?
You're wildly wrong.

Every single thing you just mentioned both occurs and doesn't occur with both web and native apps depending on what the app was built to do.

- Web apps can require internet

- Web apps can not require internet

- Native apps can require internet

- Native apps can not require internet

- Web apps can inform a server about what you're doing

- Web apps can not inform a server about what you're doing

- Native apps can inform a server about what you're doing

- Native apps can not inform a server about what you're doing

- You can unplug from the net, install desktop software (native app) and run it without it being able to send anything anywhere

- You can not unplug from the net, install desktop software (native app) and run it without it being able to send anything anywhere

- You can unplug from the net, install desktop software (native app) and run it without it being able to send anything anywhere until you plug back into the net

- You can unplug from the net, install desktop software (web app) and run it without it being able to send anything anywhere

- You can not unplug from the net, install desktop software (web app) and run it without it being able to send anything anywhere

- You can unplug from the net, install desktop software (web app) and run it without it being able to send anything anywhere until you plug back into the net

Exactly. A regional manager of a franchise of a restaurant chain isn't an exec. It's some random dude without.... a lot of brainpower. As can be seen.
So interesting to read the psychology behind this. Some of the photos taking has been linked to mild hoarding - similar to why we save links (on HNs as well) in hindsight to never look into it again. Gives us both a sense of ownership + FOMO

Why is this so?
I've been a 1Password customer for over a decade. I've also brought them lots of consumer and business customers as I've taught people and companies I deal with to use password managers, and I thought 1Password hit the sweet spot of good usability and security.

But I cancelled my account a couple of weeks ago. Their product has been worsening over time, and the last adventure of aligning themselves with the (wrong kind of) crypto bros was the final straw for me.

I'm not really familiar with Bitwarden but it is open source and I managed to import all my data in one go from 1Password so I'm testing that for now. IT feels good to support open source at least.
Sandboxed components are good at mitigating attacks from the outside. However they don’t help much against a malicious package author who has a multitude of different ways of causing havoc: while(1); for example. Playing this game of cat and mouse will add so much red tape that nobody will want to use that package manager anymore.

Ultimately package repos run on trust and a low level of risk is tolerated because of the benefits of being able to get stuff done.

I didn't mean Chicago was a midsize city. Although honestly each neighborhood feels so different. Lakeview feels like a different city compared to Wicker Park

It's probably the only affordable city in America with real public transit.

innodb global lock architecture has improved greatly since 5.1. ancient bug report from harrison is not indicative of problem here. what you think, facebook has unsolvable database cpu pileups for 12 years straight? harrison would not have been promoted to vice president if this was acceptable in his shop

"They probably outsource the lock queuing logic to their Memcached layer." you are grasping at straws. the wrong straws. go attend some facebook conf talks, meet their engineers, read some arch papers, and stop speculating this nonsense. largest db tier there does not even use memcached, hasn't for 9 years. read the TAO paper!

horizontal sharding works great for many many companies with databases several orders of magnitude larger than github, why would it not work for github?

you are also saying there may be large companies with lower reliability than github? ok name them. again, if this was the case, everyone would know! their availability at this point is like what, 1 nine?

I have no idea what you're arguing about then.
Not much time. Probably a couple days. We used maxmind proxy detection and FingerPrint.js. We also used source of traffic. Bots never come in on ads. They come in direct.

Stuff we built at a neoBank to prevent credential stuff from password leaks was a lot more sophisticated. Couldn’t trust email based 2fa because people re-used passwords. We did invasive hashing of internal networks with webRTC and also pierced proxies with STUN. Along with using a commercial waf that did real time profiling.
To play a bit in this space, if you check out the settings panel in Ubuntu compared to, say, the Windows XP control panel, you'll see that Gnome's settings panel is more usable. Mainly on account of having a single entry point, and the search bar on the top.

I think a lot of this is influenced by modern MacOS and iOS settings management (much like, to my recollection, Gnome 2 settings panels were very influenced by how Windows was doing things). It's not like it's 100% better, but for my usage it's felt nicer.

There are also a lot more work in this idea that there are many different ways to get to a settings pane. That way it's easier for people to get to a thing even if they have different ideas of where it "should" be
I really doubt it. Can you imagine being an exec at some company and some random dude who is a manager at a franchise does something this stupid? You'd be pretty annoyed.
But this was running under Plasma Mobile
This is a good observation that I wish that more people understood around schooling and funding for the public good. I live in a small town with about 1000 children total in grades Pre-K through 12. Schools are funded through local property taxes, which almost entirely fall on home owners and renters. Every year we need to vote on the town budget which inevitably tweaks our taxes a little bit up or down.

A few years ago our town approved a budget and then held another budget referendum about two months later. That’s not completely unheard of - we’ve needed it after natural disasters or other unexpected costs in the past - but what was weird is that taxes were going down in the proposed new budget. The cause was a single student who had moved out of the town that was costing the town more than $225,000/yr for special needs education. In the end, my taxes went down by a little over $100/yr as a result of the change which was strictly for a single student.

All this goes to show that not only are vouchers a racket, because for the most part the private schools are getting more than it takes to educate an average student, they’re also a racket because students with additional needs don’t get enough funding for the private schools to take them. Further starving the system.
No? I expect the government to do something that isn't a yearly tax credit.

I'm 100% with you here. I hate Apple, Google, Facebook trying to surface memories for me. I'm happy to look at the pictures on my own via their services but I really want those recommendations and "You 1 year ago" and stuff like that off for myself.
Indeed. Sorry I missed the non-edge case.
I like your post. That said, the images don’t scale properly (at all?) on iOS, causing horizontal scroll bars and bad font scaling, among other issues I don’t know how to properly describe because I don’t do web design.
It’s tricky for both sides to go for a pure capitalist point of view:

- human cancer might never be solved if strong business entities were to rely on the prevalence of cancer

- death of cats might have secundary, tertiary effects that are not clear enough to push businesses to enter the market. We would be looking at the negative impacts without ever realizing what the cause is.
We probably need to start paying UI folks NOT to change stuff. They can do all their flat-experimenting in custom themes.
Yeah, I feel you. As soon as these features started to get traction, I knew this would happen. Certainly some people have had much worse experiences than you. Mental issues can also intensify reactions to memories.

The worst part is that it's unsolicited. At least have the courtesy to ask.
Right now only CxO has launched. Not many people were interested in trying it out. I believe the reason is lack of product/market fit as the existing features aren't enough to hold peoples' attention.

However I am planning to implement features that are far more interesting and closer to what people have asked for. I launched to get a working web app out the door in the spirit of shipping early. So it's minimum but perhaps not viable.

I want to launch the MVP of TradeCast next month, which will be demo trading only. I'll soon know whether there is product/market fit. But then I was also scratching my own itch when I built it.

There has been some interest in Nexus Dev Tools, which is encouraging, despite the admittedly sparse information on the landing page. I plan to release some code next month and will take it from there.

It's a big difference, both practically and in theory.

Practically, a real exec at Applebees has a bigger blast radius and can cause pain for more people than this guy. Theoretically, we should expect better behavior by people with more responsibility.

I didn’t stop listing problems because I ran out. I stopped because I got bored. Now you got me going again:

* Why does input-file have no “Browse” button?

* Why does log file have no “Browse” button?

* What is the point of showing the command line flags? I’ve seen a few GUI apps that let me “export CLI” commands that match what I configured in the GUI. That would be a much better way to do this.

* Why does nothing indicate that the exclude/include lists are only used for recursive fetching?

* Extra Params can potentially be very long, yet the box is tiny.

* I assume quota=0 turns the feature off. Why no check mark?

* Why do the exclude lists have check marks, when leaving them empty should be equivalent to turning them off, if quota has none.

Wget’s CLI is better than that thing.
