Students and researchers reaching out to collect data is very different from marketers trying to sell you something. These folks aren't marketing, they are trying to learn something about the world and then share that with the rest of us. We would probably benefit in the long run by participating, but I know we all have limited time and survey research has its flaws. Still I wouldn't call them bad actors, they're acting in the public interest (building humanity's knowledge base). Just ignore them if you don't have time to participate.

If they're trying to build a startup and sell you that startup that's different, but you don't seem to be listing startups you seem to be listing researchers.

If you want to talk about tech sales people with no respect for boundaries desperately willing to do anything to sell you something you don't want and don't need - then yeah, lets rage against that. I've been in a role where I became a target for tech SDRs and it was absolutely miserable. My phone wound up in a sales database and I came very close to changing my phone number (a number I've had for almost 20 years). It stopped when I left that role - thankfully. The last year I was in it, in particular, once they got a hold of my phone number was miserable. Multiple sales calls a day, my work inbox snowed under, often 3+ outreaches followed by a phone call. One SDR emailed me 6 times, called me, I chewed him out on the phone and then he emailed me again. I blocked his email and then instituted a policy of silently marking any 3rd outreach as spam. I wish phones had a similar feature.

In the US, the absolute number (not just the rates) of child deaths as vehicle passengers have dropped almost monotically since 1989, to less than half by 2019 what they were in 1989.

details vary by state, but beyond age 4, most states only require boosters (to deal with shoulder belt height) which do not have the bulk or other issues of safety seats, not actual safety seats. (In some states, this is actually earlier than age 4.) So, while abandoning rules isn't going to have much benefit on fertility, if the burden of safety seats is the source of the problem you are trying to address.
My github bio explicitly states:

"Please do not contact with job offers or surveys not related to Internet Buttplugs."

And yet, I've only gotten 1, maybe 2, emails that relate to said topic. Everything else has nothing to do with it.

This is unconscionable.
I like the concept. I'm missing the social side of music since moving away, physically and musically, from my school and university friends. It would be great to find music friends across the internet.

Some thoughts:

- Since most music can be accessed instantly as part of a subscription, the "want to listen" list may lack purpose for most users. If I want to listen to something, I'll listen to it at that time or very soon afterwards. So it'll be in my "listened" list already, and maybe my "digged" list too. Goodreads has a "want to read", but that makes sense for many people, since most people still pay for individual books and often buy physical copies. Books also take a lot longer to consume. Some sit on my shelf for months, partly finished. So there is that backlog of books to get through that doesn't exist to a significant degree for albums. Maybe it doesn't matter though - the list may still serve a purpose for those who want to use it.

- It would be nice to see all listeners to a particular artist or genre/tag. That would make it easier to befriend like-minded listeners. I imagine the success of this website will partly hinge on the edge density of the social network, so the more avenues you provide users to find friends, the better.

Good luck!

The problem with overly simplistic comparisons like these is they gloss over real problems on both sides. The average life expectancy in Scotland for example is just ~61 - the UK average is a third more! So it's clearly more than just "hey the NHS is great" at play here.

It gets even worse when you drill into northern cities in the UK - Glasgow clocks in at a shocking 54.
We already see indirect youth tax in the USA in the form of social security - millennials will never see the benefits from their life-long contributions that the current retired age group is seeing. As it is currently benefits will decline 22% in 2034, and even further by the time millennials hit 65+.
Autoplay on page load, no. But you’re going to severely limit the web experiences available to Safari users (and probably in turn the number of people who use Safari) if you don’t allow some way of getting reasonable consent to auto play media after page load.

Currently most solutions are to load a number of empty audio buffers when the user first clicks and repurpose those for auto playing content later.

If a user has visited a multimedia focused web site (eg: online catwalk show), why not allow them to opt in for that session rather than force them to have a cut down experience?

Do they? A the big money is B2B and cold calling seems super ineffective because I get 10-20 people a week pitching me stuff none of them realizing I am a low level IC that has 2 levels between me and anyone that can approve anything, and those people sure as hell ain't listening to me, otherwise we wouldn't have migrated our HR system to Oracle cloud (and had all our vacation time suddenly disappear).

The only time a cold caller ever got anywhere was when I worked with him in a previous capacity and he reached out to me as the salesperson for a product we were already evaluating and considering, and at that point he really just came in to do a demo.
There are plenty of reasons why MPP databases allow the definition of constraints but don't enforce them. I'll list two: 1) BI tools can use them to optimize joins 2) Data modeling tools can use them to reverse engineers models without having to pattern match the keys.

That said, Snowflake does support constraints if you use hybrid tables (a preview feature announced at their last conference).

> Apple does stuff like this so much and gets so little flak for it.

Why should they get flak for having internal APIs? The fact that the internal API is a superset of the external API is smart engineering.

Think about it this way: Apple could just as well have made the "Metal that Apple uses themselves" some arcane "foocode" IR language or something, as I'm sure many shader compilers and OpenGL runtime implementations do, and nobody would be nearly as mad about it.

The fact that they use internal APIs for external apps in their weird iOS walled garden is obnoxious, but having private, undocumented APIs in a closed-source driver is not exactly an Apple anomaly.

This post reminds me of two things:

1. You'll own nothing, rent anything you want and be happy

I had no idea that you could now rent a cloud video card. We all basically started renting our music from Apple/Amazon, then that moved to movies with Netflix etc but hearing you can rent desktop components feels like a big shift to me.

2. The Second Life GoogleEDU talk

There is a talk given by one of the founders of Second Life where he mentioned that they took, at the time, a very bold step of rendering the physics of the game on their server farm and the piping the video feed to the user. He mentions that this happened to be at the same time that cable modems became popular. Had that not been the case, he goes on to say that SL probably wouldn't have happened. At least, not the way it did.

Given the above plus the "it's still cheaper to fedex hard drives" etc, what will consumers who need more data that can be streamed but don't want to own hardware will do? (consumers could also include the SOHO folks as well)
in case of BigQuery it makes sense though - they use map reduce on distributed clusters, so there is no easy way to stop after 10 results are found

> The point of my initial response to you was that you cannot compare annual tuition for daycare or private high schools and determine which are appropriate prices. Staffing ratios, liability insurance costs, there are a myriad factors that render this line of thinking erroneous.

So I guess turn the question on its head - What makes you believe 13k is enough?

When the only viable comparisons we have in my area strongly hint that this is underpaying - both daycare and private schools are relatively close in terms of services provided, and they both cost more.

You've made a claim - I'm saying I don't really believe it. I've pointed to plenty of examples of why I don't believe it, but you've done nothing but attack those methods.

So, genuinely, what makes you think 13k/yr per kid is enough, what's the reasoning behind your argument?
Many people who write in Bash end up writing in Bash v4, which won't work on a Mac until you install bash from Homebrew. Whereas POSIX just works. If you need to run a script on an Alpine Linux container and didn't install bash, that would be using ash, so again POSIX would work.

But the reason to use POSIX scripting isn't portability, it's simplicity. Simple scripts are just easier to reason about, easier to maintain, and are less prone to bugs. The code might be a little more verbose, but its simplicity still reduces the cost of complexity.

Most people don't realize this until they've been writing scripts for 15 years and realize they can do almost everything with POSIX and that it makes their life easier in the long run. But in some cases what I want to do would really benefit from Bash, so I use Bash then. It's not a hard and fast rule; I switch based on what would work best for that case. It's about balance, compromise, and being flexible.
Yea fascinating to read about Pen's history. I only knew it as a low cost mass market digital camera model.
Wow nice to bump into you here sir. Keep fighting the good fight.
Because whether something is deemed to be "fake" can depend entirely on a subjective point of view. In fact it could be argued that it's more the rule than the exception that a subjective point of view determines what is fake.
Do fuses count as an electronic component or does it have to be an active device? If so then I can name a couple. :)
> Not providing observability to monitor and reduce costs

Vantage just launched this - https://www.vantage.sh/blog/vantage-launches-snowflake-suppo.... The problems the author describes are almost exactly what we heard from customers:

- list of users/queries that are the most expensive

- alerts and notifications for costs

- query timeout. Not something a third party can do but there is an interesting 'query tagging' feature for snowflake which Vantage supports.
As a counter point (and you're not wrong, this is just my take)...

I consider myself privacy and security and convenience conscious, not at all paranoid yet as I don't expect I have aroused the interest of a State power (touch wood). I use what most people use and prefer less friction over philosophically and/or ethically pure services. This tool made me shrug. Sure, yea, that's not an unexpected frequency, I guess. I haven't personally seen any disaster come from data shared to be sold or used for advertising. Mostly all I get advertized are things I've already bought (rolls eyes) or things I've said out loud (scowls). The hit rate for something I've been "told" to buy is like 0.001% The last hit was Dan Ariely's IRRATIONAL Game. Pretty cool, no? https://irrationalgame.com/
I spent some years doing computer simulations of cancer screening. The confusion between the output of the simulation, which is not evidence, and real evidence, led me into a nightmare of the Hall of Mirrors, where everything I attempted to learn about cancer screening turned out to be merely a reflection of my own assumptions. Everywhere I turned it was another funhouse mirror, where the computer warped my own ideas because the code I wrote was not a perfect flat reflection of what I meant, because my code introduced distortions, which took immense rigor to avoid.

The confusion between real evidence, and the output of my computer simulation which was not evidence but I _confused_ it with evidence, led me down a dark path lost in a labyrinth of funhouse mirrors of my own construction.

Show HN: Largest collection of pitch deck, videos and memos to fund my education
Student debt is troubling so many recent graduates that we decided to graduate debt-free from the university. We launched FundingFyre - a database of startup pitch decks, pitch videos and investment memos… all together 1,500+ items. You can filter the resources by funding round, size, etc.

Many of you might be raising Seed or Series-A funding and these resources would be immensely helpful.

Yes, the incentives in medicine are all wrong. In government medicine, the incentives are to keep you away from the doctor, better to let you die than come back repeatedly. In for-profit medicine, the incentives are to keep you coming back repeatedly until you have exhausted your assets, then let you die.
They laid off a bunch of support staff and then hired more in cheap locations [1]. That sounds like penny counting to me. Think of all the experience lost - quality must suffer.

I think a first step should be to forgive all interest and fees on student loans in excess of the interest of the feds rate over the period of borrowing. That, in my opinion, is some of the worst of it. People are stuck making payments while at the same time seeing the amount they owe increases!

So let's try that first. Eliminate the predatory interest and fees first and see how that works out.
The same is true of all media really, including books (e.g. the various tactics used by the authors of novels to keep the reader turning the next page). It's just that online media is more potent and compelling to most people so the effect is more noticeable.

Binary thinking. The question is not whether there are downsides to a declining birthrate (there are) but whether there are even larger downsides to over population (pollution, resource depletion, destruction of other species). Musk's solution is simply find another planet to trash. You simply choose to fiddle as the Earth burns - literally.
Well it's maybe naive on my side to assume it, but it was an honest question. We automate a lot of things that are from my point of view way more complex and driverless subways exist for quite some time. So I don't get why it's not done.
I was thinking about this too. Why don’t SaaS companies just force price increases to offset their broken pricing model? Nobody would care, you’re paying the same you were paying yesterday. If you’re still the best in class product with sticky features people will stay. If not and you’re competing, then you have the opportunity to reduce the price in the future or simply not increase it and let users see lower bills which might also retain them.
Apple is doing this to placate regulators. I want them to succeed because I don't want regulators dictating how the devices I buy, from Apple or otherwise, should be. Apple is fighting by my side.
Upon reflection, I can see the argument that to be strictly superior than a human (i.e. not just superhuman on an arbitrarily large subset of tasks that humans do), you need to be able to, in some way, emulate SILTBness, because the SILTBness is necessary for human-level performance on at least some tasks.

If this is the argument TFA is making then:

1. I don't agree with it

2. It was both not very well stated, and assumed to be true.

3. Even if we take this argument as true, an AI that can outperform humans on the "right" subset of tasks can be dangerous enough for thinks like alignment to be a concern.
"The speed of light" is probably not what you think it is.

This constant, c, is actually about how time (one of our four dimensions, often labelled t) is related to the three spatial dimensions (often x, y, z).

Light goes that fast (in a vacuum) because from the light's point of view that's how those dimensions are related, it's not really a "speed limit" it's up against, any more than you'd consider it a "time limit" that hours have sixty minutes in them. The light is just moving through time as well as space, and that's how it has to work.

So, because it's about the relationship between time and space, what you're talking about with "faster than light" is actually a time machine.

Now, you might notice that before the aeroplane there were birds (and bats, and insects, but lets focus on birds). Clearly flying is possible, a sparrow can do it. But you may have noticed from the lack of time travelling visitors that time travel does not seem to be possible.
You'd need an awfully long rail. Where does the energy come from for this idea?

That’s actually just a Coursera marketing tactic. Most of their courses are not real-time and are self-paced content.

Hi geenat, CockroachDB is an awesome database! SurrealDB and CockroachDB are quite different, in that CockroachDB is effectively a highly-available distributed PostgreSQL database (aiming at that similar functionality), while SurrealDB is aiming to merge the relational / nosql / document / and graph databases together. Hence the functionality is quite different. To make SurrealDB distributed we have built it on top of TiKV (on a side note TiDB which is built by the creators of TiKV is more of a competitor to CockroachDB than SurrealDB is).

We will definitely in due course provide some documentation and comparisons with many of the other databases out there, and also we intend to do benchmarking with the other databases as soon as we have implemented a few of the performance issues that we know about (https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/labels/performance)!
