I'm not being intentionally rude. I'm trying to understand your comment. TikTok was previously discovered to be reading your phone's clipboard on every keystroke: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/tiktok-seems-to-b...

Your claim that TikTok deliberately targeted users with ADHD would be consistent with some of TikTok's previous behavior but I wanted to better understand what evidence you had for it.

You stated that TikTok was _almost certainly_ designed to _directly_ exploit the fact that you ADHD. I realize now that you meant something less direct but please re-read your comment and understand why someone might come to the same conclusion I did.
This here ^. While it could have a lot of benefits for some folks, I have also seen the negative effects in the city of Portland, OR.Portland has a severe mental health crisis and not enough mental health workers or police expertise to deal with it . As a result walking through downtown and SE seems like an episode of the Walking Dead.
This might be be beneficial to some health cases but it’s also going to attract a lot of unchecked drug use without enough support or studies to deal with the side effects .
I often "favorite" such threads because of the alternatives listed in the comments. I use Multi Commander[0]. I have tried a few of the others over the years but for the last five years or more I haven't moved from Multi Commander.

Take 2-3 statements or other advice that you believe is wise and helpful to you in this transition. Write them down on an index card (not in your phone, not electronic), keep it with you and read it frequently (don't just recall those statements, read them).

Remind yourself they are true regardless of how you feel. Emotions are often influenced more than controlled.

Take actions as you are able that support or aligned with those truths. Regardless of how you feel.

Tell close friends and/or family that you are working to really believe those truths.

Then give it time. At least months, maybe years. Time heals many wounds. The process above will hopefully shave off some of that time.
>Of course there are other systems the artist could use to improve the perceived fairness to fans, like linking ID to tickets, or using a lottery system, or selling tickets to anyone willing to wait in line for days. But all of these have their own pros and cons.

I am clearly missing something.

How would the agent(s) be capable of answering customers' questions?

Besides the "ordinary" and "very basic" ones like (say):

"Is the shop open next Sunday?"

"I am sorry, no, the shop is open monday to friday from 9:00 to 18:00."

And which kind of access should/would these operators have?

I mean (one of your examples):

"I am trying to pay, but my card is getting declined"

"I am sorry, let me check it with the bank"

What does (or can) the operator do, like:

1) actually check with the bank

2) open a ticket (or send a mail) about the issue

Only to show how old I am, once upon a time customer support personnel (telephone) was "in-house" (employees that knew about the company operations and could actually solve problems in a timely manner).

Then it was externalized to "call-centers", where operators were taught a small subset of the needed knowledge[1] and given very little power to resolve anything.

Then it was (often) moved abroad and further restricted in what they could do, but still there was the need to teach lots of things[2] to the operators.

If your operators assist for multiple companies, they will need to know quite a bit about each company, wouldn't they?

How do you plan to transfer the needed knowledge to them?

[1] AFAIK by means of (usually) quickly written "procedure manuals"

[2] I believe by means of FAQ and FGA collections
"You seem to have a strong belief that reality has objective definition, and that yours is it."

No, I have a strong belief that reality has an objective definition, and that empirical evidence shows what that definition is. Because, though this may come as a surprise to you, empirical evidence is the very definition of looking at what the universe does to figure out what the universe does.

"Much of the value of psychedelics is in unseating us from assuming that what we have always thought was real necessarily is. In most cases it mostly is not. Yes, rocks are hard, and fog is soft, but the ways the world works are very different from what we picked up as children. It is extremely rare for people to have rethought everything in light of later experience, so most cling to falsehoods they have not examined."

This is... well, a vast generalization. While it's true there are some things that turn out to be not quite as we thought, the way to discover those inaccuracies is through empirical evidence. Thinking that hallucinogenics are the way to discover what is not true and what is true is basically saying "my perceptions are more real than everything around me is, and if I just think about things in the right way, I will discover the truth, even if it contradicts the evidence".

You don't find truth by distorting your perceptions and then thinking hard about what you've perceived; you find it by looking at the world outside your own brain and listening to what that world shows you through empirical measurements.

The scientific method is designed specifically to counteract the many ways in which our perceptions already fool us, and it has worked exceptionally well at discovering the truths of the universe (the computer you're using right now is one tiny bit of proof of that). Relying on our perceptions is already problematic, but distorting those perceptions and then relying on them as a source of truth? That's just hubris.

My first job at age 14 was being a paperboy. I was really happy that I could legally earn some money at that age. Got paid 50-60 euro's per month, but around Christmas / new year's eve I could go my round and collect tips of around ~100eu. My round was 200-300 houses from what I can remember.

My former self would be very jealous of the jobs that are available now for young people. Especially bike delivery jobs. Being a paperboy was pretty heavy work since I had to deliver papers _and_ ad magazines, which had to be folded into the paper and took hours of preparation. Once my bike flipped on it's back because of the weight and I couldn't get it back on it's wheels. I don't miss the heavy bags and ink stains on my hands, but I saved up enough money for a green iPod Mini! Jailbroken, it actually ran Doom in black and white :)

Random Forests can overfit, but with sufficient data (and no data leakage) it is difficult to do so.

The final output of a random forest regression for example is just the average of all the final prediction nodes of the individual trees, which thanks to bootstrapping are decorrelated. So - adding more trees does not tend to alter predictions very much.
I have similar struggles.

So far, HN has been the best non-work community for developing my ideas.

My strategy is to find a post like "SQLite 3.39.2" where I will make a comment about how I use that technology and then get into some nuance regarding certain concerns in an indirect manner. Inevitably, someone will gently correct me or provide some alternatives I might not have considered yet.

I have done a fair # of "design reviews" using HN in this manner. I don't think any of this goes against the rules or spirit of the community. Others seem to benefit from reading and participating in the same conversations.

Maybe we need a more long-form aspect to HN where these sorts of conversations would be easier to have?
Ask HN: Do you know a good MySQL replication *failover* tutorial?
Fellow HNers,

I’m finding lots of tutorials on setting up MySQL replication (the Digital Ocean ones are particularly great), but I’m struggling to find good failover tutorials.

So for example you’ve got basic Source/Replica replication set up, but what’s the best practise to fail over to said replica when the source dies?

I have a rough plan that I’ve worked out but I’d love to see some meaty tutorials that cover this topic and demonstrate it in practise.

Any links (or google schooling for my admittedly old brain) would be appreciated.

Thanks!
That’s because it largely is sinophobia (or more reasonably on the American side, blind nationalism).

That said, I would caution against the temptation to “grade on a curve” here. While it’s true what you said, that there’s no direct evidence of spying, the case of proven US spying should demonstrate that government are more likely to be spying and hiding it than not.

It's more like debating whether the house meets the definition of a "blaze" or not. We all see the fire, we all have access to the relevant economic indicators.

With regard to the "people want the president to do something about it" interpretation, no they don't. Anything Biden uses from fiscal toolbox would draw even more complaints. The people complaining don't even have suggestions.

VM is becoming more of a necessity these days due to robocalls. I have any numbers that aren’t on my contacts go straight to VM, and that’s how I get in touch with non-contacts that I really want calling me.

In my experience, the signal:noise of unknown calls is about 1:20. VMs, on the other hand, are much higher — about 1:2.
Google Analytics is exactly the kind of tracker bloat I'm pointing out that a website serving static articles doesn't need. It can strip that out and serve a static html page, with no bloat, through Cloudflare, and even get their tracking through Cloudflare as well.

The reason why such "technical prowess" is needed is because businesses have made it more complicated than it needs to be. Keep in mind, the context of this conversation is the arrogance of literally claiming claiming you are being "censored" (because that's what the 451 response code indicates), just because you refuse to remove tracking analytics from your website.
Yeah. Step counting is bogus. Heart rate counting is much better but it's still flawed--it can end up reading repetitive arm movement as your heart rate and I've also seen cold conditions cause a substantial under-read.

It didn't surprise me that my wife's Fitbit could easily overcount 10,000 steps/day but I was really puzzled by heart rates as high as 180 (which is way above acceptable max given her age) until I found out about the problem of reading motion as heartbeat. I at least partially understood the evening my Garmin was showing a heart rate around 80 when 120 would have been more like it--it was cold but I didn't have far to go and I didn't consider stopping to layer up and killing my night vision in the process to be worth it. (I had enough moonlight that my headlamp was still in my pack, but I would have had to use it to ensure I didn't drop anything and that would have meant being annoyed by all the bugs that would keep flitting around.)
LIV has moral opposition.

It'd be more like if Lichess were funded by Nazi gold or something, and the person funding it was trying to do so because they want you to forget they stole a ton of Nazi gold.

PGA isn't behaving this way for moral reasons, but it's an extra component to that situation which makes this harder to analogize.
Why have 2 separate people asserted I have issue with the author's publication?

My point is that tree based models are models that partition the space. This is not obvious. But the concept of partitioning the space is a very obvious thing to try because it just makes visual sense. Take a look at the example linked above: https://scikit-learn.org/stable/_images/sphx_glr_plot_classi...

All models indirectly partition the space. Tree based models partition the space explicitly. Other model types do so implicitly.
So that's already a fundamental misunderstanding of how the law works, whether we like it or not (and make no mistake: I don't), competition involves making your own thing with its own look and feel, that fills the same market need. This is not that: this is a clone of the Total command look and feel, in addition to its functionality. So as someone who pays for some software, and doesn't pay for other software because it's free: how is this, from a US and EU legal perspective, legal rather than preventing a company from earning revenue by offering a near-identical clone for free?

If you sell your own brand of cornflakes, with a distinct box, even if you contract the exact same third party cornflake producing plant (i.e. exactly what happens in the laundry detergent industry), that's competition. If you make your cornflakes available for free, and you use basically the same packaging as Kellogg's to the point where if you showed both to someone unfamiliar with the exact styling queues they'd go "... aren't these the same?" that's laws being broken.

And from the screenshots, this sure does look identical to Total Commander. So again: is this actually legal? (it might be, I don't know, which is why I asked)
These devices are funded by government/school systems. When you receive them, you have to sign a TOS or User agreement, where highly likely contains a verbage similar to "This device is subject to monitoring". This is the magic statement; it notifies you that they could be watching, and you are aware and agree to the search.

The consent banner is typically mandatory on all government IT systems.

(1) See a doctor. General-purpose advice isn't meaningful here.

(2) Pain can be from something as simple as underusing a region of muscles. Once you know your specific problems it's often really easy to treat and prevent.

(3) Fixing that sooner rather than later is probably a good idea. You heal faster when you're younger, and chronic pain can easily become a mental pattern long after the physical trigger has healed (and AFAICT psychological therapies for that sort of pain are still in their infancy).

(4) Muscles and bones benefit from impact, even something as mild as walking 10-60min daily. If you're physically atypical in any sense then still see a doctor to make a plan first, but adding a little of any sort of exercise will probably help mitigate any issues.

(5) Reiterating, if you're currently in pain, see a professional.
Yes this is minor semantics. Tab, carriage return, new line, etc.. are a special cases: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/397255/4/src/strco...

Range selection is not a special case, and it's equivalent to writing it as `case r == 0x00, r == 0x01, r == 0x02 ... r ==0x7f`. The short hand, `r < 0x20`, is far more readable. I would reiterate, the lack of the need for another literal `case` shows that logically this is not a special case.

In the sense of the abstract idea of ASCII, 0x7f is unique in its position, but so are all characters. There is no meaning in its positional placement in ASCII. It's totally arbitrary and was thought to be a useful convention. If position denoted other relevant, and unique, meaning to printing, then yes it could be a special case in certain circumstances. But its position has no additional information. And that's the key, no information means no special case.
The people using RTEMS have self-selected for building extremely reliable systems. They have preferentially maintained ports to targets that they can use for that.

A popular chip without a port hints that they have not found it a good choice for building their extremely reliable systems.

Not everything has to be especially reliable. Cheap is a merit of its own, as is, often, newness. Targets with maintained ports are often slower, less capable, less kitted out than what catches your eye. But if it has been out for some time without a port, it is very possible it is because it was tried and rejected for reasons. You are not obliged to find their reasons persuasive, but it might be wise to find out what they are.
Doesn't the Windows - R shortcut work anymore? This always worked much better than just opening the start menu and typing because it only looks for apps and doesn't try to 'help' you with other random searches. But I don't use Windows so much lately so it could be they removed that also. They seem to do that with everything that's useful.
I generally like this, but there's another risk to keep in mind:

Purposefully over-regulating to such a degree that only the existing behemoths can survive and no startup could reasonably navigate the costly labyrinth of policies in that sector.

I think California has been doing OK recently in creating tiers of companies based on employee size and applying varying degrees of requirements based on that.

I was interested in signing up, but then saw that you get raw data for metabolites only with the $160/month plan.

This seems as if it costs you actually $0 to provide since you have that data as a prerequisite for doing anything. Why would you not provide that for every plan?

Also "get basic tips" on the lowest cost plan doesn't provide enough information to know whether it will be anything interesting or usable.
I haven't been aware of nomadlist.com before - is it worth the fee? I'm somewhat hesitant to sign up. The signup starts with some bullshit 50% discount from $218 to $109, while apparently $99 is the regular price anyway. Looks a bit sketchy in my eyes, but I might be too critical.
Good question, 'power' I reserve for turing completeness (some aren't, such as SQL before recursive CTEs were added, and... well, here's a list https://iq.opengenus.org/non-turing-complete-programming-lan...)

The context (per my limited understanding) is that Leiningen, the older and still quite popular way of scaffolding and packaging
Clojure projects, is easy to use but not simple; if you want it to do something a little different, it’s tricky because various tasks are complected together (I remember hearing this was due to its heavier reliance on Maven?).

Meanwhile the newer and officially more blessed way of making projects, deps.edn, is simple but not easy; to do basic things you need to assemble the pieces yourself, but if you want to make your own custom build pipeline it’s probably more intuitive than Leiningen.

borkdude’s new project seems to be trying to bridge the gap by providing some pre-canned equivalents of popular Leiningen commands, but built on top of deps.edn. Instead of lein this is neil.

(I only use lein myself at the moment but curious about deps.edn)

Personally, acknowledging that mental health is a real thing that sometimes goes awry and requires real treatment is still an issue that more people need to be aware of and more accepting of.

I think we've made progress in addressing postpartum depression and first responder PTSD. There remain many stigmas and a lack of awareness about mental health, mental injury, and moral injury, that in North American society lead to substance and screen addictions, as well as anti-social behaviours.

So diagnostics would be helpful, but treatment and societal perspective needs to improve.
