There are limits to rule based systems. I always believed that a common sense based system is superior.

It should be clear that those things are bad and should not be done. You still do them? Deal with the punishment.
Are you building developer trust?
But if, in practice, the only realistic way to make better-enough decisions to actually realize that 55% is to receive a letter from your future self telling you whether it was good or bad, then "wanting to make the 55%" is irrelevant.

It is frequently clear in hindsight which decisions were better, but the point of hindsight is that you have information you did not have when you made the decision—and, in most cases, could not possibly have without violating causality.
Shopping would optimally happen by foot or by bike. Somewhat impossible with US zoning laws, but in a decent mixed use neighborhood a grocery store would be a <5 minutes walk from home, with actual sidewalks and no highways in between.

And overcrowded buses happen in underfunded bus systems with not enough capacity or on peak times. Consider increasing the frequency or upgrading to a tram line if your buses are always full
this is awesome! It was like a conversation between a teacher and student. A smart student. AI is kinda scary.

One thing I'd really like to see more of is demand management - specifically ripple switches for eletric boilers

1) 1950s era technology, so well understood

2) Comically cheap vs storage

3) Instant response

4) No/low inconvencience - well insulated boilers hold temp of 24hr+

It's such an easy win to shave the top off the evening peak & thus reduces need for battery storage.
The self checkouts are grand on the condition that they get rid of a lot of the security stuff, I'm sick of needing approval to buy a bottle of beer or it failing because it didn't like how I did something
This is a pretty succinct description of why social media is a cancer on society.
Does this apply even if the manufacturer adds a clause like "any modification not authorized by [manufacturer] or performed by a [manufacturer]-approved repair shop voids the warranty"?
"Again, as should be said every time the topic comes up here on HN - the idealization of absolute and unlimited free speech is kind of a uniquely American phenomenon and even then it is not quite absolute."

Yeah, I just got smacked down on here for suggesting that not sharing all the details, naming names, etc could be because they don't want to encourage copycats, and that the US could address some of it's violence via a law limiting the details they provide.

Hearing sensitivity often varies with sound frequency. So just increasing the volume wouldn't address different frequencies differently like hearing aids do.

Leaded gasoline has been a former experiment in population-wide reduction of intelligence and increase of aggressiveness. Supposedly that affected that 80's, but I am not aware of systematic studies on that.
Fascinating, thanks for this! Looks like it became controversial because of a lack of transparency.
Most airlines would only have one of Airbus A320 series/737 series, so if you get a ticket for an airline only flying the former, it's highly unlikely you'll get switched to a 737 (Max or otherwise). The exception is code sharing/wet leasing/airline alliances (e.g. you might get an Iberia plane when booked with British Airways).
The impression I get from this schedule is that this is a collection of quite ad hoc topics that are in some cases quite far removed from what I expected to see covered in a course that is intended to introduce computing principles.

For instance, are "For Loops", "If Statements" and "Spreadsheets" really essential to computing, can these concepts be considered "computing principles"?

What about logic? I note there is a reference to "Boolean Logic" as one part of the "Spreadsheets and Data" lecture. What about models of computing, or defining what we even mean when we say "computing"? The lecture notes hint at some of these topics in the final lecture ("Theory and Conclusions"), almost like an afterthought.
Checking which account is honest isn't too hard, you detect that there is a "problematic mismatch" between two clients. So the project runs their own client to check. If one has an exact match, then you'd question the other.

There is a challenge for sites that serve different content based on GeoIP, A/B testing, dynamic content, etc. So some human review of the diff may help check for malice. If there's literally spam, human review would clearly detect this and that bot is distrusted.
Neither - that alternative only makes sense if you assume at most high school level of knowledge of biology. If you knew anything more, you’d see how absurd it is - for example you’d know what a mole pregnancy is and how it demolishes that assumption you’ve made above.

This, btw, is a common element of Catholic ideology - a lot of it is literal bullshit written in a way to make it hard to parse; one cornerstone of it is abusing the language, but another is exploiting people’s ignorance.
...many countries have terrible validation...

In "federal-style" countries like USA, it is possible for some jurisdictions to have adequate validation while other jurisdictions (e.g. the rural county where I live) do not.
Even my 80s and 90s cars have a clutch switch (though the 87 is Japanese, can't speak for American cars in that decade). No pedal, no start.
My naive belief is that VC's invest more in companies that they think will succeed (i.e. larger funding rounds).

Is it possible the model is partially latching onto this, meaning their result could actually be just saying "companies that VC's back more are also the one's that succeed", presumably because VC's have some of their own reasonable criteria for doing this.

I didn't see this discussed in the paper, I wonder if it's results would be as strong if they excluded size of funding rounds as an input.

I can imagine a "can you hear this?" calibration app quite easily. AFAIK even full on high end hearing aids only do an 8 band or so EQ curve.
Unfortunately this is likely to lead to a lot more poorly conceived legislation down the line (at least in the UK, which loves knee jerk lawmaking)
Then I'll simply use more bots to get 80% of the network, then I can almost always win any disagreements and your "problematic mismatch" never triggers.

Plus I can now cause you to have to run your own crawler anyway and either slow progress or cost you a lot of money.
Investigative journalism is at an all time low at the moment: it's simply too expensive. Rephrased press releases from corporations, government bodies and celebrities sell just as well and the PR firms take full advantage of that.
I use a lot of frozen, sliced zucchini that I buy in bags from the grocery story... It's there some way to test them for safety before using them?

Since they're already sliced it seems like I'd have to taste each slice to be sure no slice is bitter.
You at least have company on your journey... I also use iTunes as "backup" alternative for offline organisation (non-selfhosted) with a good old iPod classic, modified to carry 768GB of storage on a 2200mah battery.

This is the best device I ever had in terms of Audio Quality, storage per size and user interface.
No. Frequency Modulation is literally the first derivative of Phase Modulation: so for all intents and purposes they're the same thing. Nearly everyone uses PM -- especially Yamaha -- because it's rather easier to implement and doesn't present nasty challenges when doing self-modulation. Even Chowning's original paper on FM used PM. But everybody calls it FM because nobody ever heard of a PM Radio.

The GP is probably referring to the (false) urban legend that Phase Distortion, a technique developed by Casio, was meant to get around the FM patent. But PD has very little in common with FM (or PM) at all: the relationship largely begins and ends with the fact that they both operate on the phase of the sine wave. But PD is quite different, and its closest cousin is waveshaping. Indeed PD has its own patent.
I am not in the mod community at all and I don’t understand at all what this is referring to.

Could you expand on this a bit more? I don't see any obvious way to develop non-manipulable search criteria, I was suspecting that there might even be an impossibility theorem about this (which would depend a lot on the exact formulation, though), and I'd like to know what you have in mind.

> I'm astounded at how intelligent people who can write code can simultaneously be so fucking moronic in their grasp of economics.

Absolutely nothing surprising about that. Intelligence without knowledge is not very helpful. If all you know is how to write code, you will suck with other things, even if you're intelligent.

The bigger problem is that people tend to downplay the knowledge that's required to do something, simply because they do not know how much they don't know. It gets worse the more intelligent you are because you're more confident in yourself then.

Case in point: name of this project. I've read it like 10 times on this page already yet I still can't spell it from memory. I could paraphrase:

> I'm astounded at how intelligent people who can write code can simultaneously be so fucking moronic in their grasp of marketing.

(but won't, since, as I said, it's not astounding at all; just for illustration purposes)

Wouldn't that turn the phone into a medical device, which is arguably worse without FDA (or equivalent agency) approval than telling people to get a hearing aid?

Optical loss along the fibre. Optical loss is basically environmental vacuum noise coupling into the system and causing decoherence, destroying your quantum correlations. Air is usually much lower loss depending on the wavelength
Of course we learn about bacteriophages in medical school and university. I’m a radiologist and even I know about it. It’s just not FDA approved treatment. You’re talking about inoculating someone with a virus intentionally
That entirely depends on if shopify is still an intermediary in that scenario or not.
It's just a search engine. It's never been 'inconceivable'.

At no point since digital computers were invented was it inconceivable that we could continue prompt phrases by searching through similar phrases, near such prompts, in digitized text.

It was thought computationally infeasible, in just the same way that a harddrive would never be TBs, and so wouldnt be big enough.

But there's no magic here, and nothing suprising. It's presented by charaltans who have money to make as an achivement that it isnt. This isnt intelligence, and has nothing to do with it.

It can complete phrases by having seen TBs of similar ones no more suprisingly than google can. It is as limited as that process implies, namely, radically limited.

Likewise, it was never inconceivable that one could 'play' chess by searching through billions of chess permutations and selecting a simple high-value path. It was thought infeasible given, say, an abbacus to do it with.

We have never thought totally dumb solutions to these problems were unimaginable. They were just so dumb, that the only route to using them would be to somehow run a Ghz processor. Well, since we now have those, dumb partial solutions to dumb problems are possible.
It’s free under 1 GB, but I don’t know why you expect anyone to do free hosting with the sizes mods can get to (which nexusmods offsets with ads you probably don’t see with an Adblocker).
I have some reason to believe that cucumber aversion might be genetic.

I recall coming across something about it a while back while looking into the cilantro soap gene thing, apparently there's a few similar genes that cause other food aversions (eg: kale, cucumber, etc).

One suggested reason for this trait is literally "avoiding getting poisoned".
tl;dr:

1. "Kavanaugh was dining at a Morton's restaurant in Washington, D.C.".

2. "Protestors learned he was at the establishment."

3. "A group gathered outside the restaurant and told the manager to kick him out"

4. Morton issued a statement: "Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner"

Now they get fake phone calls and fake reservations.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This seems like a real life straw-man attack. I don't see how this would bring anybody closer to solving the actual problem.

They don’t get invited and do their own investigation and reporting instead of paraphrasing government announcements.

I think it’s the same pattern in many countries, where there will be two different rythme: almost immediate news with official communication coming in near real-time, and a second wave of news from journalists who took more time to form an opinion/check what they want to publish. Both waves happen in big newspapers, independent ones only bet on the second wave.

Which is the problem with non-profits, the transparency requirements are at best minimal and all non-profit vs for-profit means at a super high level is that there is: no equity distribution, government approves of its mission, and there is no distribution of excess cash flow.

There frequently non-profits that use excess funds to unnecessarily expand beyond the original mission, for example Wikipedia — or that pay staff, especially executives way beyond what most donors realize.

To me, being a non-profit is what it is, I don’t read too much into organization being a non-profit.
That's pretty wild that this is sold as aftermarket. This is baked into VAG & BMW car products for at least the last 12 years, and it was on my 2015 S1000XR, but it'll only activate under hard braking scenarios. I don't know if i'd want this to activate for every brake press, at least here in the UK i've gotten used to the idea flashing brake lights = car ahead is braking very hard.
It's funny because not only are you making the most un-original joke possible, you are also factually wrong (see sibling post).
Like @daoudc writes, Wikipedia shows that the nonprofit can maintain the resources because they attract volunteers.

If you create a search engine where users can report spam and get some form of karma for valid reports that is shown in their social network, then it's quite likely that the users have enough momentum to get ahead of the spam.
The Epoch Times is owned by Falun Gong. (They are apocalyptic/UFO/meditation cult, they have been banned in China and, if you believe their claims, organ harvested. I don’t know how much to believe those claims, but China does keep a lot of things with organs weirdly secret. FG are present at every anti-Chinese protest. They also do the Chinese ballet which name I forgot now…. ah yeah Shen Yun)

I don’t know any other.
> An amusing one that I remember is when a magazine was not allowed to include the term shōgi daoshi—literally, “falling over like shogi pieces”

An amusing one on multiple levels. Standard shogi pieces don't fall over! They're not miniature statues like in Western chess, but flat reversible tiles [0]. It's like it was written by a Western journalist who needed to translate his idiom into Japanese.

Not without outside help, and there is no evidence of that so this is quite speculative. I don't think it is possible for an individual to track a high ranking former official like that without being noticed so personally I see this as coincidence rather than anything else. And that may well explain the reluctance to go further in their statements by the media, they are likely just waiting for the results of the investigation.
Regardless of this particular example, there has always been a pretty strong bias towards one side of US (and Australian, for that matter) partisan politics on the front page of Reddit; with over-the-top accusations towards the Republican Party as well as the LNP both receiving thousands of upvotes despite their poor quality.
Butterfly Effect is not accounted for (how many innovation we would lose are not quantifiable).

Children who never master the basics will grow up to be less productive and to earn less... by 2040 education lost to school closures could cause global gdp to be 0.9% lower than it would otherwise have been—an annual loss of $1.6trn.

The World Bank thinks the disruption could cost children $21trn in earnings over their lifetimes—a sum equivalent to 17% of global gdp today.
I think there is something wrong with an attitude that children not in school are apparently unable to learn and develop.

And something even more horribly wrong if that is true.
You are right about people's current opinions, but seem to be assuming that given a better option, people would continue to make sub-optomal choices.

If so, I don't agree. Your small minority's job is to deliver those alternatives, and to feed the flames while the rest of the world makes the transition. Which they will do because the next thing is clearly so much better.

Have more faith in most of humanity and doubt yourself and similar others for having failed so far to disrupt this industry with better technology.
A mistake made over a weekend is better than years spent making the same mistake. Though obviously, not making a mistake would be better.

It could work like spam filtering. Once a certain number of users have marked a site as spammy (or put it on their blacklist), it gets downranked for everyone. But jstummbillig is right. It could easily get gamed.
As panarky said [0], the world is run by the young

They say "war is young man's game" - think about the 10s of millions of young men (some as young as 14) that went to war in WWI, WWII, etc

A group of 17-19 year olds is commanded by someone who's only 20 or 21

That you have any security experience, checklists to follow, senior people to rely on (ie the majors and staff sergeants, to continue the analogy) means you're worlds ahead of most people you're going to come in contact with

In Outliers, Gladwell claimed/popularized you need 10000 dedicated practice hours to be an "expert"

But in practice you only need about 200h to be in the top 10th or 5th percentile (or even higher) [1][2] (related: [3] & [4])

And regardless of how "experienced" someone else is (even how much more "experienced" they are than you), they don't have your team behind you, nor the focus that you bring

... I found all I've learn is worth nearly nothing in industry. Which saddens me and it shouldn't be, but it is so. Really basic principles get useful but only in very high-end areas, stuff that I can barely comprehend (eg. automata for model checkers etc).
You make it sound easy but companies have been trying to fight this stuff for ages.

You can buy a trustworthy residential IP for low cost, you can buy them in bulk in the thousands. All of them are real residential IPs from any ISP of your choosing in any country. You can rent Chrome browsers running over those IPs, directed via remote desktop and accessibility protocols (good luck banning that without running awful of anti-discrimination laws). You can do all that for under 1k$ a month for like 1 million clients.

My workplace has been at the other end of DDoS attacks directed by such services, best you can do is ban specific Chrome versions they use but that lasts until they update.

It's an uphill battle that you will loose in the long term if you rely on client trust.
It would be more consistent to call it greenlist, yellowlist, redlist then.
Just from personal experience, on more than one occasion, I've spent hours on hold with a company getting nowhere, fired off a couple of quick tweets, and the issue has been fixed in 10 minutes. I have about 300 followers.

Is it a guarantee? Absolutely not. But it can work, and if the amount of money involved is too small to make involving lawyers worthwhile, it's often your only remaining option.

How else would you suggest handling the situation of needing to recover $7000 that a company owes you but they refuse to acknowledge your existence?
