Faked requests for situations like this are routinely and frequently used for harassment/attempted murder in gaming. Unless this is solvable, this is rather problematic and dangerous.
I think it has to do with verifiability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:V Essentially everything written has to be verifiable, and if a person doesn't have enough reliable sources talking about them, it isn't really possible to write a verifiable article.

The whole point of live markets is that the animals are, well, live. And I would imagine they'd have a hard time selling dissected animals.
I used to build a custom product for my side business that had a 50-conductor wire harness and a couple smaller ones (around 20 conductors each IIRC). I learned a few things:

* The article is absolutely correct: It's a difficult task to automate and humans are still very competitive.

* The peripheral bits that the article doesn't get into, like making the individual conductors and attaching terminals, is best done by machinery. That's a far easier task to automate and the machines are very fast. Even at my low volumes, I could save money by farming out cutting & stripping wire and crimping on terminals instead of doing that part by hand.

* It's annoying, fiddly work and I'm amazed that there are people who have the patience to do it all day long. More power to them I guess!
But kids do.

>The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the proactive policing of disorder on crime-related calls for service (CFS) in Houston, Texas. A principal feature of the organizational structure of the Houston Police Department is the strategic deployment of a Differential Response Team (DRT) at the patrol division whose task is to target and take action against social and physical disorder (without prioritizing arrests)

>This study was a partial test of broken windows thesis by examining the association between disorder policing activities and crime-related calls in Houston.

>There is an obvious difference between the current study and previous studies on testing the effectiveness of police intervention derived from the broken windows thesis. A review of the literature revealed that most studies on this topic have used one of two popular approaches. The first approach relies on the study of police intervention in a geographic area such as a patrol district (e.g., Hoover et al., 2016; McGarrell et al., 1999) or a block/intersection (e.g., Lawton et al., 2005). In these studies, the police intervention was often measured as the strategic allocation of additional resources to a given geographic area/location. Additional patrol officers, for example, were made available to enhance police presence and increase the number of arrests as a way of deterring crimes. Many of the intervention programs studied were supported by external grant funding received from federal, state, or local governments (e.g., Lawton et al., 2005). It is noteworthy that almost all of the studies were carried out in a short period of time from 1-day interventions (Nunn et al., 2006), 1-month interventions (Novak et al., 1999), to a period of 2 years (Caeti, 1999). The average range of period of intervention among these studies was about 12 months (e.g., Braga et al., 2015). Most recently, in a review of aggressive policing studies, particularly in hotspots, Nagin and Sampson (2019) noted that the short-time frame of intervention can lead to inaccurate research results regarding the effectiveness of a program.

>Our findings suggest that the DRT overall did not produce significant effects on crime-related calls, with only one out of five space-time patterns showing demonstrable benefit.

>The findings also suggested that overall, the DRT intervention process did not achieve the anticipated objective of a significant reduction in crime-related calls over the period of the study. Only DRT intervention in sporadic places—where the DRT activity is an on-again then off-again intervention—showed a statistically significant decline in crime-related CFS, and the DRT intervention in the rest of the four areas failed to yield any significant effect.

All of the people who you listed are unquestionably talented.

But they are unsuited to working in very large companies which requires collaboration, patience and tolerance of other views. And pretty sure they know it too.

You can make the tired hiring practices are the problem argument but actually it's the nature of large companies themselves that self-select for these types of people.
I normally enjoy seeing creative solutions to problems, but seeing that this concept exists is just sad to me and a sign of horrible social incentives.

Outside of very tragic and hopefully rare circumstances, there shouldn't be any question about who helps you out as you age or what you do with the wealth you spent a lifetime working for.
Of what? India is a large, densely-populated country.
Agreed with this. Has many benefits, including that the profits flow back to the taxpayers rather than to corporations and shareholders. Semiconductors are too important to national security to be controlled by profit seeking corporations whom have little allegiance to the nation or the people.

Hi, as I mentioned, I tried building under Ubuntu, which didn't improve build time that much considering the hardware specs, IMHO. So it does point out to optimizing the build itself, as esperent also suggested.
No, it actually does not. Emphasis mine

>Even where there is evidence that BWT impacts outcomes, it is driven by studies that measured disorder as the perceptions of the focal individual, potentially conflating pessimism about the neighborhood with mental health.

This states that the perception of disorder does not necessarily match up with reality and that the conclusion of said study is flawed
Yes, I cannot agree more. I did the survey in the vain hope that I could leave a comment or even vote for “no nesting”, i.e. “equivalent CSS”. Most of the given examples are great evidence – some concerningly great evidence – for Tim Petersʼ “flat is better than nested”:

(1 and 2:)

.foo {
color: red;

@nest .parent & {
color: blue;
}
}

(3:)

.foo {
color: red;

{
.parent & {
color: blue;
}
}
}

(Without nesting:)

.foo {
color: red;
}

.parent .foo {
color: blue;
}

The nested variants, for my sense, foreshadow grave technical debt – in specs, docs, browser code and CSS files.
We are talking past each other. I’m speaking more generally since you’re talking about this entire community. But you have just this thread to point for an example.
also Tesla is only average for the automotive industry which is mind-boggling.
The crisis is in part because of high uni prices. Giving everyone federally guaranteed loans killed price discovery for higher education. Forgive the loans without adding the possibility of bankruptcy to future loans (and forcing unis to cosign a significant fraction) and you'll just see prices skyrocket further.
TI's fabs are mainly focused on analog, so the requirements are a bit different. IIRC we have 3 130-65nm layers for digital in our mixed signal designs which is roughly on par with a the process technology Intel used in 2005.
>it's really odd the degree to which Wikipedia's policies enshrine commercial journalism outlets as the Arbiters of Notability.

It is somewhat of an irony that notability probably is bolstered more by fairly small run periodicals and books than it is by things like fan websites.

> They have the highest leetcode standards out of FAANG. As does Snap. They hire people that basically memorized computer science algorithms.

I find this naive, as if coders have a say on the product. The jobs in big companies tend to be very boring and actually simple since their core product is already there and all these people simply maintain and steer it based on the data.

IMHO the difference is simply in their situation. Google&Meta are absolute monopolies, nothing new had to come out of them as they were making more and more money as they optimize the same old product. They suffered the Galapagos syndrome, similar tp the Japanese smartphone market.

Apple is not in that spot, they need to aggressively innovate as the competition is strong.
What is this adding to the physical laws though? The simplest explanation is that your dream physics is actually the same as our hard-science physics, and you’re effectively just relabeling things.
Lead is a kind of sweetspot - easily available, it is a metal at room temperature and has low melting temperature. Probably tin (less available) and aluminum (higher temperature) would be the close contenders.
I can reset the password myself, what they won't do is reset the security questions through an email for example. They told me that if I don't have the answers, there is no way to recover my account.

Without getting political - does it even matter anymore? Trillions of dollars were just thrown out the window to whoever could catch some... and few if anyone has any idea where most of it actually went.

At least this money will have a tangible, appreciable outcome. Supply chain security for such critical things such as chips is really hard to overstate the importance of for the US.
I had hired in at a new company and was getting annoyed with how slow everything was so I started digging into the Javascript and CSS.

Good. I thought we might be.
Some mistake or miscommunication happened there, as Wikipedia does have a policy that people can be cited for information about themselves, the policy is called SELFSOURCE. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:SELFSOURCE

Perhaps the issue was that Philip Roth was unable to sufficiently demonstrate his identity? Of course, Wikipedia can't take a random editor's word when they say "I am this person and this is the truth", then anyone could say anything. There has to be some citation, for example I've seen someone cite a tweet for simple biographical information (e.g. "today is my birthday").
The Changing Role of Science Press Officers – Report, July 2022
Well its MX, vs TX, so maybe that is part of it, but I suspect there are other more significant differences, like for example ford sells ~7x the number of F-150's as Toyota sells Tundra's and that is only reflected in a ~3K difference in base price.

Its hard to have an exact 1:1 comparison, but I think most people would agree they are roughly the same price for roughly the same product. And yet one is largely designed and manufactured in the USA (the Toyota).

So, maybe they it costs more to employ someone in San Antonio, but maybe that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things vs flying engineers to MX to work out kinks in the assembly line.

And its probably the same with semiconductor manufacturing. Intel isn't behind because it costs more to manufacture things in the US, they are behind because they didn't invest in EUV, and made some technical mistakes, as well as business mistakes around contract manufacturing and refusing low margin deals.

I think if you look at the results of the IBM/Lenovo deals its abundantly clear that where the manufacturing was located had nothing to do with the success of the products (It was outsourced to Lenovo long before it became their business). The American management was the problem, and kicking it to the curb allowed them to grow the business 10X+.

And lets not ignore Samsung which has a large fab just down the road from me. So it can't be a terrible environment for USA based semiconductors if a Korean company is willing to fab things here.

There's a lot of need for classifying aerial and satellite imagery. Those uses range from crop optimization to decarbonization.

See Descartes Labs, Planet, etc. Also see theCaDC.org for water data needs though I believe they're still too small to need a CV expert.
It's as simple as this: If companies could manufacture chips profitably in America, they would be.

American Laws & Regulations prohibit domestic semiconductor manufacturing without Government subsidies.
Using Twitter as an example, it ran into the problem around 2010 or so where it, in my opinion, had found the perfect set of features. All of the tweets from the people you follow would be shown in chronological order for you. Liking a tweet simply showed support for that tweet, while retweeting it would repost it for all of your own followers. It was simple and clean. However they then ran into the problem where they felt the need to do something to maximize user retention on the site. Algorithms dictate what order things are seen in, new users and tags and trendy things are being shown to you, your likes are now also shown to the people who follow you but only sometimes, anything they could do to try and get people to consume more. It's not just Twitter; these long running social media networks are so afraid of becoming stagnant that they are chasing every trend they come across, and at some point it's going to catch up to them.
Many "asians" in the US complain about a "bamboo ceiling"

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

and every so often asians in the US report being physically attacked by people who refer to them with racial slurs during the attack. I've definitely overheard racist comments about the attractiveness and sexuality of asian males in white company.

Something very similar was done for religious groups here:

I shouldn't say I'm "amused" by a finding because that sure got another comment of mine voted down, but it's an interesting observation (in the fourth table) that white evangelicals have a high opinion of Jewish people (compared to say, Catholics) but that Jewish people have a poor opinion of white evangelicals.
> Could you give me a mental model or framing, different from the one I have, so I can think differently about self promotion on online forums? I would really like to put myself out there but my internal objections inhibit any action on my part.

One framing might be that you'd actually be helping people. You note that your product "can solve their problem." They're the ones on the forum talking about the problem, and you have a solution. You've worked hard to develop the solution and make sure it will do the job at a fair price. A person looking for a solution to that problem would not only be happy to hear about it but to give you money for it.

TBH this not scientific at all but judging from my linkedin feed the worst 'product people' I've worked with have ended up at facebook/meta, amazon and google -- apple and a bunch of smaller companies ended up with the best

it's a mixed bag when it comes to engineers though, most of my highest performing coworkers are pretty evenly distributed between the batch with the exception of amazon which seems like a catch-all
> But users are notoriously fickle, and complaints often don’t align with their behavior. While some Instagram users claim that they want to see more photo-based posts in their feed, Mosseri said users are posting less of this content, _choosing instead to share pictures to their Stories or through direct messages_

Maybe they use DMs because they hate your ad delivery. Maybe they use stories because you make every effort to push users to it, so that's where the eyeballs are.

Pretty tiresome to position your company as a victim of its users when you have a shocking level of influence over their behavior.

Not to mention how credulous this passage is from a journalistic standpoint.
> Except we have been saying the same thing for 20-30 years

We have. Which is why we started building out solar and wind 30 years ago. And now we're at 90% renewable and haven't used coal for 6 years.

> You're setting expectations. This is pretty effective between adults, I am not sure it's as effective with children, and I say this as someone who has tried to apply it to children.

In hindsight as an adult, I could better appreciate the occasions where she turned down requests and possibly the reasons why, and there is some value in kids learning that there are limits to what they can get without being offered a detailed explanation in return.

> There's a certain amount of value in being able to guess What Mom Would Say. Mom isn't always going to be there. On the other hand you have to be careful how broadly you apply that. What Mom Would Say about eating berries you haven't identified is pretty good, or going off the grid for 48 hours without telling anyone where you'll be and when to worry.

This isn't really the context in which these things came up in my family. Her stated goal at each occasion was that it's very important that her kids learn that life doesn't always go the way we want. So while we could go to a friend's birthday party, we couldn't go to all of them, and she made the call (perhaps ~ 75% of requests that required a non-trivial expense would be turned down (~25% otherwise), but as a kid it was hard to see the distinction). We knew as kids that we had very little expendable income as a family, and did a decent amount of filtering out requests ourselves. I think our financial situation was a lot more dire than we could appreciate as kids, and this approach was one way my mother kept things sane.
sick landing page btw, well done.
I like it. What can make a name on that list notable above other names is the plethora of other awards they may have also made - in advertising it would not just be ClIO, but IBA, ADDY, Hatch, New York International, Sunny, Silver Microphone, Mobius, RAC, London International, ANDY, EFFIE, The One Show, not to mention regional awards. A multidimensional matrix of such award winners would indicate true notability. Other factors might also include the notability of the campaign they created - e.g. the famous 1984 Apple Chiat Day commercial [0] - or the top advertising agency revenues.

Ask HN: Is there a site listing paid / compensated tech market research?
I recently did a survey for AWS that gave me $150 in credits, and also a Twilio market research interview also for something like $150 gift card.

Is there a site that lists such opportunities? I don't mind spending a little time to make $150 of value.
rocket.chat is not based on matrix. It does have some bridging to matrix built in, but that is very different from it being a matrix client/server. See here: https://matrix.org/blog/2022/05/30/welcoming-rocket-chat-to-...
Since it was based on ounces sold, my initial thought was it would balance incentives of watering down the actual formula over time.
The author, Doug Summers Stay, explained the method to me a few years ago:

---

The idea is very simple.

You have a target word and a library of possible adjectives and nouns that start with the letter a, for example.

You add an extra element to each vector, so they are now 301 dimensional vectors. For adjectives, you set this to 10, for nouns to -10. In the target word, you set this element to zero. (You might have to play with the values 10 and -10 a little: they should be weighted high enough compared to the other elements that getting them right is a necessity rather than just a nice thing to have.)

A sparse decomposition function such as LASSO takes in a (1 x 301 target vector) and a library of n possible vectors stacked up as a (n x 301 matrix) and outputs a (n x 1 vector) which shows how each of the n possible vectors in the library should be weighted in a sum. You tune the sparsity parameter so that it is looking for exactly two non-zero weights. So it needs to find two vectors that add up as closely as possible to the target vector, and one of them must be an adjective and one must be a noun to make it work out right.

You perform the sparse decomposition and the non-zero weighted elements are the adj. and noun you want. You can run it again with those words removed from the dictionary if you want other choices.

This is just something I came up with and tested. It's never been published anywhere that I'm aware of. You can easily imagine variations to find any number of terms with particular properties or relationships to each other.

Show HN: Lightweight Maybe Library for TypeScript / JavaScript
A `Maybe` library for TypeScript / JavaScript. This tries to have as little overhead as possible by having a `Maybe<T>` as `T | null | undefined` then using functions for dealing with maybes. As opposed to having custom datasructures and dsls. The library provides typesafe functions for creating pipelines from a maybe as well as traditional `getOrElse` type functions. This aims to make dealing with null's and undefined values simpler as well as allowing the flexibility of opting into as much or as little as the library as you require.
