This looks useful, but isn't really usable. For example, your investments tiles all call up the same dialog. For example, clicking "Cryptocurrency" calls up the same modal as clicking "Taxable Investments". Because of this, you end up producing nonsense numbers since every modal just modifies the same field.

If this is not a bug, then the modal is confusing. The labels inside the modal don't correspond to anything on the dashboard. The investment modal should have a field for each investment, rather than some random fields that don't clearly map. If I click "Cryptocurrency" and a modal with no mention of it shows up, I'll assume the software is broken.

I'd also suggest having less memeish simulation descriptions for younger demographics. It adds friction for the average user when they think "well, I'm none of these things, what do I pick". Might also be taken as condescending. Comparatively, the older demographics all had very simple descriptions which would have mass appeal. Comes off like the developers don't take this demographic seriously, or don't understand how to market to it.

Cool looking dashboard, but crazy amount of UX friction makes it hard to use. I'd love to see it when it's tuned up.

I hope you can go beyond root cause analysis and publish some kind of cost-benefit analysis.

The risks from misrepresenting your copyright in these cases are not small. Diebold Election Systems paid $125,000 in a similar situation: https://www.eff.org/cases/online-policy-group-v-diebold
Except, there's a difference when you're in a room with somebody who can tell when the shitty site or the vague nature of a question makes it difficult to complete the request. They can also better gauge someone's understanding of subject matter, merely by talking through the question, approach, etc.

The availability of these sites makes it seem like it's a standard, which adds to the problem. Some small company might not have taken that approach. Now, you don't want to fall behind by not making use of a widely-accepted "standard" practice.

Not exactly true, pretty common in finance/trading as well.

According to this reasoning, if Ferrari builds more cars, Fiats will get less expensive.

I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work.
> Russians have a video of hookers peeing on Trump

That wasn't the actual claim, it was that the hookers were peeing on the bed in the hotel room with Trump.

(The actual interesting bit was that a video appearing to be that did turn up, and after examination, turned out to be a fake that someone put a considerable amount of effort into. I do wonder who, and what they were hoping to accomplish with it).
> what a programmer means

Ah yes, but how do you interpret "what the programmer means" besides "what he types"? If what he types is open to various interpretations, it becomes impossible to divine what he means without asking him for clarification. This is the case with spoken language, especially to audiences with differing contexts. That's exactly why having a maximally simple and clear reference to the meanings of words is important. It's in order to avoid having to clarify what you mean when you say "women's swimming competition", for instance.

Maybe you should reach out internally and ask if it's really worth it?

There's always a point where the Government steps in. Don't think you're immune. Don't think that just because you've gotten away with it thus far that anything you do will be tolerated by the public forever.
Does the author not know that 0 is a number? 0^3 = 0, does that mean that 3 = log_0(0)? The notation differs for a reason. As far as mathematicians not understanding the power of notation... Yes, we do.
I mean, I considered this implied within the suggestion of using incognito mode.

In any event, it's an unrealistic attack vector. No bad actor is going to target 0.1% of edge cases when you could get enough damaging information from people who do not go through this process and remain connected to the internet.
I have long thought that a precondition to the continuation of any IP should be that the rightsholder make the IP available to the public on terms somewhat similar to the IPs original publication. So if a game or other work ever goes out of print, the copyright to it evaporates. I think this would be perfectly fair to ensure creators get their payday without depriving the public of access to good old works.
IANAL but I believe the case is different for algorithmic solutions.

The solutions to a particular textbook are entirely useless outside the context of the textbook, but the solution to "efficiently find a substring within a string" is useful in day-to-day programming. The takedown isn't aimed at the result of "convert 700m to feet", but "describe the process of converting between metres and feet", which is plain ridiculous.

Because that arbitrary region is your home, it and the people in it provide the resources and structures you need to survive. Human "weirdness" is the end product of millennia of natural selection, it's the result of optimizing for survival and success. Think on that before you rush to tear down Chesterton's Fence
What could possibly prevent me from signing a fake video with a cryptographic key based off of scan of your biomarker, once I obtain that scan somehow ? Biomarkers can't be changed or revoked, so once they leak, you either have to change the whole system or stop trusting your content forever.

(the details of obtaining the marker aren't relevant, I think you'll agree that one way or another there will be some leaks or cracked phones or any one of other possibilities eventually exposing biomarkers for at least some of the population)
100% and that is ridiculous, it's going to be a cancer on the open source community. Basically patent troll level harassment, except you didn't need to go through any of the "work" or "effort" to acquire a patent, and you don't have to actually bring a suit in court for the damage to be done.
I agree I don't understand why your post was so heavily downvoted. I actually upvoted it just because it seemed excessively downvoted.

The impact of college degree on dating scene is interesting to me and it's a unique discussion topic instead of rehashing the same stupid circle jerk HN always has about college.

I don't think the described dating behavior is unique to women though, that's probably why some people reacted negatively to the post as it does come across kind of bitter.

Sure in the exact details women might be judgemental/hypocritical about different things than guys are. And yes in this particular post women's behavior is probably more relevant. But have you talked dating with single dudes under 35?

They're by and large complete bums around the house even when the woman is the higher earner at work, talk about double standards. Doing group swiping I've heard plenty of comments on women's looks from guys that were pretty subpar looking themselves. And so on.

People are frequently shitty. Sometimes in fairly gender-specific ways, but being an asshole in the dating world is overall pretty universal. Apps like Tinder aren't helping either.
Did you see the help center / FAQ? I added that last week, so it doesn't have an immense amount of content, but there are a few things that might be helpful. For things like growth rates, I have more-info popups in a variety of places to provide some context on what's happened historically and what the defaults are. But overall I think you're right that adding more resources over time would be a great idea. I've always wanted there to be more educational content as you step through the onboarding process and build a plan... just need to find the time to draft it up and/or link to it in the best way.

For optimization, I could see that getting a little bit tricky, since for now I want to steer clear of anything that could be misconstrued as formal financial advice. Definitely understand where you're coming from though, and there may be some opportunities to add different kinds of optimizers (e.g. a button that runs the permutations for drawdown order and stops on the one with the best outcome).
Thanks! Yeah I'll think it over. Thats sort of what I was thinking, surely all the textbooks and knowledge is out there, so I could teach it to myself, but having a structured class is nice.

I'll let you know. If I decide to go down the study group route, I'll ping you. I have already taken a data structures course, but nothing close to Operating Systems or Compiler Theory.
This is the only way human rights work. They’re rights of the individual because they are a human. They can’t be bestowed or removed by oneself, another individual, or society. You exist and therefore inherently have these rights.
I'm cool with the suggestions in other comments like a cheaper tier that is ad-supported, but realistically, this is where I'm at:

1) Netflix is barely worth what I'm already paying, and any price increases will probably make me cancel.

2) If I see adverts with what I'm currently paying, I'm going to cancel.

To me, Netflix needs to provide more value to me, as it's already on the brink.
I too wonder about the sustainability of the Mexico City paradigm. When land becomes precious, we re-pave and re-evaluate. In Japan (On the island of Japan), space is precious, if you are going to build it, it better last, and it better make sense to keep around. Until we reach a limit on land area, it seems that slime-mold-esque endless sprawl is somewhat inevitable. I do wish the opposite, that we would heed the lesson before driving off the proverbial cliff.
Spelling and grammar checks have been around for ages and we use them all the time. However there is much more to good writing or reporting than just spelling and grammar and these spell check functions haven't been great at picking up on more than that.

Microsoft Word as part of its grammar checks also looks at refinements that include "Embarrassing Words", "Jargon", "Simpler Wording", "Words expressing uncertainty" and has a section around Inclusiveness and Slang to name only a few. But I don't see this reflected in a tweet somewhere around big brother nonsense. Grammarly are also creating a business model on providing these additional insights.

As someone who writes reports as part of my job I am glad that there are further refinements coming, especially around conciseness which is something new graduates struggle with.

It's the result of making IQ tests for jobs illegal. Leetcode and the trick questions asked in finance are just IQ tests in disguise. You can't regulate your way out of the market - if companies want smart people they'll find a way to hire smart people.
The modal is definitely confusing, you are right! I used to have those stat cards direct you to the Current Finances screen, but then people wanted the ability to edit in place on the dashboard, so I had it open the section from current finances that contains the item you clicked. I see how this makes the overall grouping/hierarchy confusing... in the short-term perhaps I'll revert to the original, but in the long-term maybe I'll restructure the dashboard a bit. Might be nicer to have more of a top-down hierarchy focused on total assets and liabilities anyway.

Edit: which things jump out to you as meme-ish? The plan names in some of the sandbox examples? Milestone types? All of the above? lol
I'm not making an arbitrary point. The end of my comment mentions word embeddings, which are learned from analyzing language and its usage in an unsupervised manner. You can use a word embedding to measure similarity between words. For instance, I just downloaded a pre-trained model of Stanford's GloVe embedding that was trained on 840 billion (yes, billion with a b) tokens. The cosine similarity can be used to measure how close two words are in the embedding. The cosine similarity of million and billion is 0.89. The similarity of duck and fuck is 0.27. The data indicates million and billion are much more similar than duck and fuck.

This result is intuitively obvious to me, which this article illustrates. Even if the resulting sentence is not factually true, a true-sounding sentence can be constructed by taking a sentence with the word million and replacing it with the word billion (in a majority of cases). This isn't true with duck and fuck, and duck is a noun and a verb used in generally different contexts than the word fuck.

Writing a Blog Article About Your Work (2021)
I'm sorry about triggering you. I can see your point. I did not mean to focus attention away from what happened and how to avoid it.

I am sincerely interested in seeing if the HackerRank leadership will reach out and discuss. I was not intending to promote anything I'm doing right now. I suspect they won't but I will talk to them respectfully if they do.

Let's promote the SymPy maintainers, though. Let's also promote NumFOCUS, because they do a valuable service to community-driven projects and could help SymPy respond to this sensibly. Let's also promote NumFOCUS because they efficiently and tirelessly work to help the projects they fiscally sponsor (like SymPy) -- providing legal support: https://numfocus.org/.

Perhaps something good can come out of this, still.
And a single setting for someone to change now if they want cua-mode.

My point was that making the default cua-mode won't lead to a significant number of new long-term users, so it isn't worth the hassle it would create for people who are already using it.

Also, emacs is not struggling to stay relevant. I fully expect that it will appeal to an audience of users similar to the one it appeals to today for decades to come.
Thanks for the actual reference.

The feminine/masculine assignment list verges on insulting on its own. Autonomy is masculine? Objective? Logic?? Reads like a 80s cartoon stereotype.
Again, I don’t agree they “dominate education”. That’s like saying that Bic dominates education because a huge percentage of kids write with a Bic pen or pencil every day.
Im a technical Product Owner. The QA team are my best friends. They save my butt all the time.
I don't see the problem with it either. I write reports as part of my job and conciseness as an example, is something many new graduates struggle with.

Word has all of these areas currently within Microsoft Word and they also have an entire section around checking the inclusiveness of wording, but I don't see a tweet about that...
That's a nice formalization of services. Did you try implementing it?
If Ferrari sold 10 million cars per year, you don’t think that would have a downward pricing impact on other cars?
No, I’m still correct.

You are taking possession of something you don’t have rights from the original owner to possess. This is true even when the original thing remains unchanged.

Again, I’m not interested in debating the definition of theft/piracy/copying/whatever. It’s a very tired argument made by people who want to validate their decisions and actions.

Just say, “I don’t care. I’ve talked myself into thinking there’s no issue with me doing this so I’m going to do it.” The lengths people will go to argue the semantics of this shows me how clear the issue really is.

This seems like an argument for copyright terms which are short by default but can be extended if the holder cares about them and pays some fee; so any abandoned content would actually become available to the public instead of being locked away for whole generations.
Rivian CEO Warns of Looming Electric-Vehicle Battery Shortage
In one of Feynman's books he talks about a notation he tried to introduce but couldn't get to stick. He particularly disliked sin^-1 as arcsine, it looked to home like 1/sin. His idea was to use σ (lower case sigma) for sin with the dash at the top extending over the thing to be sined and a similar symbol with the dash extending backwards for arcsine. It sounded like a great idea to me, and I I would be pushing for it if I ever used trigonometric functions in the first place.
That got weird fast (caution NSFW). It looks like an interesting project, but then it quickly devolved into a PDF filled with drawings of penises. Quite unexpected, glad I wasn't viewing it with my students in the room lol.
Word has all of these areas currently within Microsoft Word and they also have an entire section around checking the inclusiveness of wording and has done so since 2020, but I don't see a tweet about that...
Then whoever can make a non-frivolous claim to the copyright will crawl out of the woodwork to sue you for damages because they suddenly have a financial incentive to do so.
The root cause is the system that is geared to keep houses always appreciating via supply constraints: aggressive zoning, discretionary permitting, NIMBYism.

You can believe that if you want to.

Any level-headed analysis of the situation, however, points to multiple factors at play, here -- dark actors with huge pools of dark money to park somewhere (that just so happens to be mildly appreciating on average) being one of them. A system which promotes and protects de-facto anonymization of luxury assets at scale being another. Truncating the root cause analysis simply to "supply" is simplistic at best.

Until we liberalize zoning, legalize building, and reject the idea that houses have to be appreciating assets, the issue will continue.

As much as one may want to believe that this is the right fix in the long term -- even under the best of conditions, it will take years, more like decades to pan out. Meanwhile the housing market needs relief now.
Hacker Rank is a pretty shitty company. The platform is full of bad UX/UI. The questions are pointless exercise in wasting time and energy.

Did I?

The article says it’s “stupidly difficult” to find a dumb TV. I think I showed that it’s not.

Regarding all the other stuff you said:

- It seems like you want the TV makers to cater to you your needs and wants in terms of feature set and distribution channel for your dumb TV. Why would they choose to make it easy to buy a dumb tv when there is more money in selling you a smart tv?

- Regarding your dumb tv purchase, I don’t know where you’re located, but these limits for a dumb TV simply aren’t true in the US unless you want something very niche.

- Do you think your needs are representative of the market while also being equally or more profitable than what is currently available? At this point, most people who want a dumb tv are going to have to make a few compromises that, for most people, are minor. I think that’s a fair trade —- sad that it needs to work that way, but fair.
There's an element of right to repair in here alongside just one more example on the pile for why most of us self-hosting nuts drone on and on about it.

I really hope lawmakers someday figure out they really do need to make "it must fail to a useable state" law. It should not be a concern that if Tesla goes out of business I won't be able to drive to work.
There are cases mostly around Facebook and Youtube taking weeks and prevailing on the judgement. Currently there is no established limit.

The vast majority of affordable cars are used cars. Used cars are cheaper when there's tons of new cars, and they get more expensive when new car production slows - prices jumped so much in the past two years that some used cars were sold for more than they were originally purchased for.

We treat that weird situation as obvious undersupply in the car market, but somehow expect it with houses. Why should old, used houses sell for more than their purchase price?
you drastically overestimate how many users understand the address bar.

The terms of DMCA are not much different from those in other countries. The WIPO copyright treaty caused many of its signees to practically copy the text from the DMCA into their own legal system.

Perhaps you can host this stuff in countries that do not care much about copyright (China, Russia, etc.) but those usually come with their own problems.

Instead of avoiding countries, you should avoid hosters that will take such extreme measures following DMCA takedown requests. There are companies out there that will have a human read your counter notice and care about the legality of this whole situation, you just have to find them. That means avoiding big players like Github and building your own bespoke host, probably behind a Cloudflare or similar tunnel to prevent your website from going down because of DDoS attacks and traffic spikes, which will add significantly to hosting costs, especially if the library becomes successful.

To be honest, this sounds like solving the wrong problem. Hackerrank and their friends are the problem, not the people using Github's free service to host their documentation.
