The parent comment should not be downvoted. It should be upvoted. Its because sociopaths are allowed to get away with doing these things behind 'corporate entities' that this kind of psychopathy can happen. Its because we not only allow such sociopaths to live in our midst, but also we held them in high esteem and allow them to occupy positions of power in our society that these things continue to happen. And until we stop doing those, they will keep doing what they are doing.
As someone in the ML community where arxiv rules supreme, I really do not understand why other communities do not also have something similar.

I get that there are some perverse incentives around, but there is a relatively straightforward solution to all of the problems with journals - just publish your work on the internet first so that it's out in the open, then send it to some journal who can make money from your hard work without adding any value, if you still want to.
Is this a real opinion? My god.

Thinking that aborting female embryos because they will be considered less important in society is wrong, AND think that removing a women's right to choose entirely based on religious teachings is wrong, AND thinking that forced sterilization of a whole cultural/ethnic group is wrong, are not incompatible.

Where are you getting these opinions from? I'd honestly have a hard look at where you got these thoughts from, they are pretty backwards, and not morally considered at all.

i guess we'd have to read the linked article from that bibliography to see what he said.

I tried finding it, but could not, but it's in German and the title says he was attacked (for who knows what definition).
I haven't used Heroku's free product plan myself, but I personally use Fly for my personal blog and website and thoroughly enjoy its pain free deployment process. They also have built in secrets management which I was happy to see. There is GitHub Actions for automating things too.

They supposedly also decrease latency for your application if you migrate your Heroku app there (again, I haven't used this myself so YMMV): https://fly.io/launch/heroku

You do need to enter credit card information as mentioned in this thread.
Probably on purpose to avoid firstnamelastname@, firstname.lastname@, and firstname_lastname@ variations being abused.
There is no line, anyone who thinks this was okay is too far gone.

There is no defense, absolutely none, for allowing companies to just deplatform viewpoints they don't like in a coordinated fashion.

This wasn't a conspiracy theorist or dangerous person like alex jones, this guy was just a jerk with a knack for being rude.

We made a massive jump from banning those dangerous to banning what is unpalatable for most.

Its quite clear that soon we will see more of this and the "correct" opinion will be all thats left.

I can imagine a future that the artist could "license" Dalle-2 to generate art in their style and they actually get some commission for it. Like the AI can work as the artist's assistant to produce art at scale while she gets benefits too if it makes sense.
Thanks for the input. I can return with error logs later, but essentially when doing the `conda create env -f environment.yaml` line it would error out partway through. It would download dependencies for a few minutes then fail on one. I tried multiple times and got the same error. I just assumed it was an issue of a dependency not properly supporting windows.

Are you saying you coulda `conda create env -f environment.yaml` fine? This was my first conda install on Windows, so perhaps I missed something else.
Can you determine what USB HID code(s) the scanner is sending for that? (Perhaps using wireshark, or usbmon on linux, …) Some years ago I worked on ChromeOS keyboard input, and I can probably tell you right away what it'd do with it. Basically, is the USB code in https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:ui/...

Alternatively (but probably less usefully), try it on https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html
I never understood this perspective, that aborting fetuses whose prospects are guaranteed to be worse, is somehow wrong or even oppression, and somehow oppression of a whole group of other people completely unrelated to the family.
If me and my wife are planning a baby, that's between us. There is no outside group that has a say or is somehow being oppressed when we decide that we do not want a child who is going to suffer more than necessary due to being dealt the wrong cards.

>I presume that most of you would agree that releasing this information for anyone to know would have negative consequences, and should maybe be controlled.

No. What? Are you insane? If you knew that a couple were going to have a baby with whatever problems, and you did not inform them of this because in your mind, their decision might then somehow upset some other group of people who are neither the mother, nor the father, nor even the close family, then I would find that morally unacceptable.

EDIT: Although I disagree with your choice of example, I would also like to say, that I do think that there ethics is important in any profession, including in scientific research and publication.

EDIT 2: I think your reasoning and people who think like you comes from this (very American notion) of thinking that being homosexual or being deaf or being mute somehow makes you part of a "community". And then from this comes this idea of oppression when the community is deprived of one of their new prospective members. I find this whole thinking absurd.

Why did they close it down?
Theoretically, if they increased profits per tenant by 30% a 10% reduction in tenants would still equate to a 20% increase in profit.
And other people just pretend and seek attention, taking the tiniest discomfort and screeching “human rights! human rights!” left right and centre. All while every government institution and corporation bends over backwards to please them.

A lot of people prefer the comfort of ignorance to the discomfort of that knowledge and even more prefer the comfort of their self made moral high horse from which they chastise everyone they deem unfit.

Or perhaps they realize they only enjoy visiting such places because they couldn't have their larger houses, yards, cars, and whatever else they want.

There are plenty of places that would I would be interested in visiting but have no interest in moving to.

@yegg Even if you don't agree with one side, you can't consider the side to be "spam", "disinformation" or "propaganda" and hope people will just be OK with that. What is spam to you, is useful information for somebody else, some people love what Tucker Carlson have to say, others prefer Brian Stelter. That's why freedom of speech exists[1]. I think the right approach to down ranking is having a banner with a link with undeniable proof of what the article says is wrong, which is very hard to do, I get it. Otherwise, is preferential down ranking, and whatever you argue on Twitter won't change the minds of people. I too have been using DDG from the beginning, and I'm grateful more private alternative to Google exists, I just hate censoring as much as privacy violating businesses.

A 15% cut is quite a lot, and I'm not seeing sufficient benefit from your service to warrant it.

Also, highly recommend you have someone review the text copy, it does not sound like it was written by a native English speaker.
I believe that's what they are doing, with an acceptable error rate.
Those are all hot-swappable though.

So you could in theory swap e.g. the charging port for a MicroSD reader, move all the files and swap again.

In any case I see your point. I always generally scoffed at laptops with less than four USB slots alone and lack of an ethernet port. But I have a 20€ dongle for that now, which is convenient for switching between the work and private laptop.
I think there's some cost cutting going on too, not sure, but during Covid, the home that Grandma was in got much, much worse. They simply never had staff to help any longer, and this was (formerly) a good place to be.

We tried to move her around, but Grandma died a few months ago, with us constantly fighting to get proper care for her in places that seemed to get progressively worse over time.

Just had constant fights to make sure anyone was checking on her or taking care of her or anything at all and seeing constant signs that everything vaguely medically related is horribly under-staffed.
Public doesn't care that much.

Your mind might be blown that there are asians that live in the UK that have the stereotypical British accent.

If you'd like something that gives you way more control and flexibility, yet is similarly easy to use, try https://stacktape.com

Also, the Stacktape pricing works way better for companies spending $10-20k/month on infrastructure. With Stacktape, you pay a single monthly fee for the "deployment simplicity" (+AWS fees, which are in general way below PaaS providers). You're not paying the "deployment simplicity fee" for every running instance.

His questions were certainly valid - why were we pushing a jab on kids who don't need it, of which we don't know the long-term effects, for a "vaccine" that's rendered mostly ineffective after 4 months, against a disease that almost never kills kids (less than 100 in the U.S. who had serious health problems).

The rushed rollout and forced mandates of these products across the country invited much criticism. If that's a tough pill to swallow, maybe you'd be happier in Canada or Australia, or China, for that matter - their COVID policies are basically the same in abnegating personal choice and freedom for bodily autonomy.
If that world class healthcare is only accessible to a small percentage of americans, does america really have world class healthcare?
For consumers of the information and those paying for it, it’s all upside to me. My only prediction for downside will be increased author fees for open access publications. Some venues have ridiculously high fees for open access authors, which is a barrier for some (not every author is funded by a research grant or in a department with a budget that can cover such fees). I expect they’ll go even higher, and the available exceptions or discounts will be more stringent. To me, the upsides vastly outweigh that downside though, so I’m very happy to see this move.
i wonder why this is not a law already? at first i assumed lobbying, but i can't imagine the journal racket to be that lucrative to influence the required number of legislators to block the law, unlike oil or insurance. this seems like such a no-brainer issue, but i would love to hear the spin.
Ask HN: Best Watch for Tracking Health That Doesn't Share Data
I'm interested in a watch that can help me track health (sleep, etc) which also doesn't report or share data with third parties. I'm a bit Apple-adverse, but open to it if that's the best option. I tried doing my homework on this but am finding a lot of conflicting information and a slew of marketing making it hard to tell fact from fiction. What are your experiences? What device(s) should I check out?
They're a perfect example of how in America we have these public services that get overloaded and degraded in quality (because they are public), so the rich go and make their own private luxury versions to enjoy a more selective and high quality experience.

Reddit will be the future ghetto of the internet while the elite hang out in private discords!
While I agree that the damage is minimal to them - the point is that protecting them behind the meaningless label of "private equity" outright shields them.
It's the other way around -- academic R&D is just about the only type of government spending for which there's wide-spread support for openness and a lack of entrenched power against openness.

The USG spent $6B on cloud computing in 2020. That number is increasing quickly. To say nothing of the massive quantities of non-OSS software that the government buys and incorporates into is own business-critical processes. And it's not just government licenses, but also anyone who interacts with the government. E.g., try interacting with any government agency without an Office 365 license.

You get really funny looks if you say that MSFT should have to give away Office 365 for free if the government is going to use it for anything.

But total USG spend on closed-source software has to be well into the 30B-50B range conservatively. For reference, the entire NSF budget is $10B.

The main reason for this is that there are many monied and powerful stakeholders who benefit from selling closed software to USG, whereas the academic publishers a tiny, often not even American-owned, and got super greedy and screwed their natural contingency (academics hate them as much as or more than anyone else).

"public access to federally funded research results and data should be maximized in a manner that protects confidentiality, privacy, business confidential information, and security, avoids negative impact on intellectual property rights, innovation, program and operational improvements, and U.S. competitiveness, and preserves the balance between the relative value of long-term preservation and access and the associated cost and administrative burden"
Would American high density look like charming antique cities, or would it look like China's modern made high density? Shanghai was cool to visit but I definitely wouldn't want to live there. Or would it look like something else? Changing zoning is not going to suddenly create charming 300-1000 year old walking cities highly curated and subsidized by tourist dollars to make tourist destinations but that sure gets pushed on every one of these HN stories.

American's go on cruises (a super high density vacation) that are very communal. Do you want to recreate the 'cruise' experience in every American city? American's go to Disneyland for vacation, does that mean American's love waiting in long lines and we should design cities around long lines and overpriced fast food?
Taxpayer-funded research should automatically enter the public domain, period. Anything less is theft.
> everyone considers me a deviant for just wanting to start my day with cereal and milk

My ideas about breakfast were turned on their head many years ago when a German friend (his typical breakfast: rye bread, cheese, cured ham) remarked that he "can't understand how you can bear to eat sweet food first thing in the morning".

I suppose most of the world's breakfast traditions evolved from whatever is left over from the previous night's dinner. The idea of a custom synthetic breakfast food is quite an American thing.
Your partner will work too though so property is 10x of household income instead of 20x one person salary.

I don't even notice it. I would assume you're using a hydraulic clutch? I thought those were pretty much the standard (ha!) since 80's. Maybe I'm just getting a workout without realizing it? I do know whenever I drive my wife's car - which is an automatic because she also hates driving a manual transmission in traffic - my left foot nearly goes through the floorboard before it realizes there's no pedal there! :)

I still get befuddled when parking her car because I never remember to shift into park and I'm wondering why I can't turn the ignition switch to off and pull the key out. Gets me every time!
Is there any other system that works as well but is self hosted? I have tried 3 other brands of security cameras and none are as reliable and easy to use.

In my case you'd be off by at least an order of magnitude. You like variety, eh? I mean.. I can get any kind of cuisine at all that can be found in a big city... Not sure what suburbia has to offer on top of that. I mean, you do you. Just saying your argument could maybe use an accuracy adjustment.

I haven't used Heroku in a while, but don't they rely on git? You shouldn't be losing anything specific to re-deploying your service. Otherwise, they have no obligation to maintain/run anything that isn't being paid for.
Different strokes.

My wife and I stayed in a suburb for 3 months while we were caretaking and working remotely.

I couldn’t step out my door and go out on a run, the nearest coffee shop was a 15 minute drive away, and no restaurants were open past 9 and often closed on weird days.

It felt like the only way to be comfortable in the suburb was to own more things and build your own castle.

We returned back to Chicago and immediately bought to secure our preferred urban lifestyle for the long term.
Why not bare metal servers or VPS from like... DigitalOcean? What is DigitalOcean missing for your use case/preference specifically compared to Next + Vercel?

I'm not a DigitalOcean shill or employee, I'm just curious what I'm missing from a "what do other competitors out there offer".

I always thought it was like... spinup Debian/Ubuntu VPS, ssh to it, install Docker, run docker-compose or Docker Swarm or... Terraform?
But there also aren’t any. Just because another human didn’t directly instruct them doesn’t mean they are self-taught.

Data Storage Is Reaching the Limits of Physics
As an interviewer, I believe take home tasks are unfair and also poor return on investment.

Take home tasks incentivise candidates to burn as much time as possible on the task. Consequently, they are a test of who is willing to put a week of work even when the instructions say it should not take more than 3 hours to complete.

I prefer pair programming with the candidate on the premise that if I ask you to spend 2 hours of your time it is only fair that I also spend this time with you. And also give you a chance to learn about me, your future boss.

Not to mention I can learn more about you working with you for half an hour than I would ever learn by studying the code you might or might not have written yourself.
While the number of job openings have dropped 11% from their all time high in April, they're still almost exactly the same as this time last year, which is 41% higher than the prepandemic all time high. Unemployment is the lowest its been in 50 years with every gender and race having their lowest unemployment rate in the past 240 months. The total number of unemployed persons is also the lowest in at least 10 years with a 5% drop from last month alone. Initial jobless rates and quits have been holding pretty much constant for the past 12 months. While the quits rate has gone down from its all time high of 3 to 2.8, that's still .4 higher than it ever was prepandemic. YOY Wage growth remains over 10%, a level not seen since the early 80s. Labor still very much seems to have the upper hand in the current market.
It's not always about traffic scale. Sometimes it's about having a common deployment platform at different locations, on premise. Where relatively simple and small setups still bring a lot of value via pure convenience - suddenly everything is packed into Helm charts, running off basically identical CICD pipelines.

But I guess that's not what "top talent guys" are interested in doing?

Google didn't collect that much 'data' (outside of strictly required website data for finding things via their search engine) before they saw the profit implications of a B2B targeted ads solution, which was realized with their purchase of doubleclick.
This is a very large factor - nurses and CNAs working at nursing homes will often jump at the chance to work at a "real" hospital (or even McDonalds, if the pay gets high enough).

Of course, a shortage means they aren't paying enough (at $100/hr they'd have no limit of applicants) but they may not be able to adjust fast enough.
