All the time, as in several times per second. I have a bluetooth sniffer and these beacons are very very chatty. I didn't test the AirTags myself but it can't be lower than once every 5 seconds or so. But really I think they are like the other battery-operated BLE beacons with several times per second. BLE really is really low energy, they got that part totally licked.

The expected distance is pretty high. Officially up to 10m (like a keyless entry) but they can reach much higher distances. Because I often leave my AirTag in the house and it gets detected very often despite me not even having an iPhone :)
I don’t disagree, but from their reply the request is community based. And any community based product is just a good as… well, their community.

So how would a different community tool provide better content? What tactics could be used to increase quality?
Dovetailing off some of the discussion in another post [1], I thought I’d share a useful resource I’ve been using to perform surrogate modeling of expensive numerical simulations.

Given how generally pro-migration and immigration this site is, it’s odd that this is the concern about climate change.

I have subscribed to https://freedom.to/ for a few years. Basically they give you the tools to block access to time wasting web sites during whatever daily time periods you configure. They also have useful podcasts about productivity, digital diets, etc.

I remove, or don’t install, unnecessary apps on my iPhone. I do install Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, etc. on my iPad.

I also use an Apple Watch with its own data plan to free me from my iPhone, which I often prefer to leave at home. The Apple Watch lets me get/send text message or take a phone call, but, it is not as intrusive
> All the people who get into med-school are talented even though the selection process was unfair in this regard

Be that as it may, a reasonable person given the choice will not want the least of the smart people working on their heart. This is a scenario where someone can be the smartest person in all racial categories but the stigma will still exist because race X is known to be favored over race Y for reasons not pertaining to skill, merit, or knowledge.
AFAIK unless something has changed, Discord will globally ban people if they are discovered to be using a non approved client. I have no idea how often this occurs. This came up because folks had created clients such as BetterDiscord that add features which Discord want to sell and add end-to-end encryption using OTR. Discord want to be able to log all messages and OTR breaks that functionality for the servers.
Moving as a form of adaption towards changing environmental conditions? You might be on to something here! Are scientists aware of this method?
Agreed about using a recruiter. If you don't have a lot of time and energy to search, and don't have a particularly strong idea about who you want to work for, they can do the leg work for you.

Trouble is, there are a some good recruiters, and a lot of terrible recruiters. I had a good experience with Oxford Knight, and have warm feelings towards RecWorks, because the people seem nice.
Yeah, that sounds like racial discrimination against Asian students! You'll note that I did not say there was no such thing as racial discrimination against Asian students, so I'm not sure how this is relevant.
Moment.js gets a lot smaller if you apply the same trick Day.js is using here, that is, to just load the locales that you need.

See https://medium.com/rise-engineering/how-we-managed-to-shed-3... for an example. Takes Moment.js from 364KB to 59KB. Still much larger than 2KB, but perhaps small enough.
The top comments as of 10:50AM ET are openly backing and rationalizing discriminatory hiring practices.

At least three industries will be grateful for high-res wind predictions: aerospace, maritime and wind-generation.
Don't overthink it: it's to save face.
This is absolutely correct and exactly why this new requirement will, in the long run, degrade medical care. I can promise you that very few if any practicing physicians were consulted in the writing of this legislation.
I believe the problem here is business-level, and this can’t really be fixed technically. The problem is, this kind of design requires organized commitment to run it to completion, and can’t work in a culture focused on dropping a half-working MVP early and then failing to follow up.
If you pick it apart, it really means failure to put yourself below.

Outside of acknowledged overt heirarchy like the military where the strict heirarchy has a defensible purpose (there is always some sort of heirarchy, but only in something like a military is a pathological form of it justified) you are theoretically always equal to anyone else, and your order-taking is merely a very limited commercial transaction. You are not actually subordinate to your boss or anyone else.

There is just this very narrow scope where you have voluntarily agreed to accept some specific kinds of directions in a specific context in return for pay.

Swap subordinate for subservient and I would not consider "insubservience" or "failure to be a servant" a very damning charge and I would look more at anyone who thought it was.
Nor does the US Latino community. Doesn't stop it being used.

But translating the DEI stuff from a US perspective to a European one is difficult. So as far as I concerned the Italians and Spanish are LatinX.

>>isn't the midwest also a wasteland of homelessness and druggies?

No, We have a big problem with drugs that is true, but I would not call it a "wasteland"

AS far a homelessness, it is a problem like it is everywhere but I have never seen anything like what is seen in CA in my life. I would call that a wasteland of homelessness.

We have tons and charities, and lower cost of living making our homelessness problem generally transitory, meaning a person is homeless in crisis which is largely corrected by community out reach in a few months. Long Term homelessness is much less of a problem here
That simply ruins the copyright system for everyone that isn't making money. Which is pretty bad given that copyright is also what stops people from say, simply stealing someone's art drawn and shared as a hobby or even drawn and shared as part of a portfolio (and thus indirectly being a potential source of profit for them).
It's an arms race, it has always been. Companies will continue squeezing as hard as is legally allowed, browser extensions will be effective until they gain adoption and get actively countered.

Legislation seems somewhat effective, but many websites purposefully won't adjust to comply, just to see if the law will actually be enforced.

Cookies and JavaScript were a mistake.
Go to bed at 5a.m. knowing you don't have to get up to get to work and be expected to have a fresh mind. You just fall asleep, exhausted and wake up for lunch time and it's fine!

Baby wakes up at 6:30am like clockwork. Your move, parent.

Not to be a stick in the mud. You’re of course right that having additional responsibilities further increases the stress & difficulty.
Because it works, and HNers don't flag those nearly enough.
> When we say "Discrimination is wrong" we are almost always talking about illegal discrimination.

What I'm hearing from you, dendriti, is that slavery wasn't wrong when it was legal.

That definitely seems a hot take in 2022.
Oh please. EU countries have more stakes in that conflict considering some of them would be next to be attacked if Russia won in Ukraine.

The Russia is an actual threat for EU countries. Which is why the biggest hawks in that conflict are EU countries.
I mean, legally they are not in a caste, right? Does the Indian state recognize caste?
> So, we can stop making it worse which is good!

How exactly is the climate worse today? The planet is greener than ever. Warming isn't intrinsically bad, as people are more likely to die from cold rather than heat.
I'm always open to being wrong, but I'm also pretty confident that you lack in reading comprehension skills. The argument GP was making was about affirmative action being a net negative for impoverished students, and this is, as far as I can tell, utterly irrelevant to that argument.
They vary immensely. By location, sector, and honestly, quality of employee. Mediocre programmer in the IT department of a low-margin old-economy business in Leeds? 60k could be good money. Good programmer in a growing startup in London? Double it.
Not sure how your argument works. Because there are more women in STEM in India, Indians in the US can't ghost women?
AskHN: How to help newly visually impaired colleague?
A close friend and colleague has recently lost vision in one eye and is likely a few years away from losing the other. Surgical options exist but the recovery is difficult and carries a nontrivial risk of losing one or both eyes.

She's late/mid-career in a leadership research role and currently works very visually. I've advised she reopen a dialog with HR and our VP of Research to protect her position and projects, but she needs to show progress to stay where she is. Passion drives her, and she's been overexerting to keep all of the plates spinning instead of handing them off, mostly as proof to herself. I know she has more support than she realizes, but she's only recently acknowledged it might time to embrace her new capacities.

Formerly seeing people, how did you navigate vision loss? I'm interested in everything, personal and professional. How did you adjust to your new identity, what assistive technologies and workflows worked for you, what accommodations did you get at work, what was your experience with insurance options? Is there anything you wish you had done while you could have seen?

We have budgets for ADA and reasonable accommodation. She's a wife and mother caring for an ailing parent. Thanks for your thoughts.
>Germany and the Soviet Union also had pretty close economic ties right up until the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941

And a lot of the British upper classes [including quite a few people directly and indirectly related to the royal family] were fiercly anti-semitic and thought Hitler was giving the Jews a bit of what they deserved, from 1933 right up until he started annexing parts of his neighbours' territories.

Point being: no-one comes out of WWII with an unblemished record.
I think what op meant to say is if there is little diversity then naturally there would be no debate. But indeed i agree they should at least stop making racist movies.

Boy do i hate race related debates. Why is race even relevant in this day and age? It’s all in our minds and it stems from primordial tribal thinking. Its like people from village A dislike people form village B because they will steal their women and hunt their game. Such basic instincts that we somehow havent moved beyond yet despite our tech progress.
The thing is, it happens very slowly. Over many decades and even centuries. It’s not like within a couple years suddenly all the coasts move. Not even in the most aggressive models which are likely wrong anyhow.

It’s a slow and gradual process which means we can actively make progress against it.
>And merit is transferred down the generations. Privilege begets privilege. Etc. This is the issue that we are rightfully trying to counter.

Counter that by providing less privileged people with more opportunities, not by changing the definitions of merit.

It's basically impossible for anyone to become a chess grandmaster without exposure to competitive chess when you're less than 10. This obviously favors the children of the well off, but you can't deny that these children end up being better at chess.

The same goes for education in general. If elite preparatory schools didn't offer a better education than public schools, nobody would pay for them. You shouldn't use their doing better on standardized tests as an indictment on standardized tests because they're genuinely better educated. Asians tend to have the highest SAT scores of all races, and they're the least likely to drop out. Black people tend to have the lowest SAT scores, and they're also the most likely to drop out. This is a sign that the SAT is a good metric. Yet, the far left frames this two examples of racism: that both the SAT and colleges themselves are systemically racist.

By principle, I actually am in favor of affirmative action, but I'm tired of all the anti-merit rhetoric used to justify it.
Heavily-reinforced concrete and/or underground. The more rebar, the better.

Jumping in a pool won't help much if you're in the big part of a pressure wave, I'd guess, since the water would probably all be removed.

Anywhere near a 20 psi overpressure thermonuclear blast near the target is going to be rough. Survivors will likely be on the outskirts of wherever it hits, being honest.

The amount more powerful a modern big fusion bomb is than what we dropped on Japan in 1945 boggles the mind. It's almost impossible to conceive of how bad they are.

Like, if a huge one was dropped on San Fran, about a million people would be dead immediately, plus some unknown potentially large number more due to fallout.

Name one instance when Valve showed even a fraction of the amount of aggression Nintendo shows to protect its IP. Pirating Valve games has always been easy - it's as easy as copying the game folder anywhere else and running the game executable.

When you are confident in your own products, you don't have to stoop to cheap user-hostile bullying tactics to protect your wares.

More likely guilt, due to social expectations around productivity. Many senior developers experience impostor syndrome.

The amount of posts around productivity hacks and tricks on HN is telling.
Not OP but I'll give you an example concerning a project that used Material UI which is a React UI component library.

For one, we had to rewrite the app 3 times because the library switched from Less, to 2 different css-in-js solutions across 3 different major versions.

Then we switched to server side rendering and suffered some weird glitches. Turns out, when using SSR, styles get rendered twice: once on the server and once in the browser. So you have to write a custom logic to remove the styles that are rendered on the server.

What I'm trying to say is that React was invented at Facebook to solve problems they were having but the industry was too quick to adopt it as a solution for their own problems. Facebook can afford to rewrite a piece of software 100 times because of their unlimited budget. They can also deal with all the bs that comes with frontend frameworks because of their ability to throw an unlimited amount of engineers at a problem.

Small company with 10 engineers? Just use something appropriate for problems you're trying to solve at your budget.
I like that you posted this here, and I like your humility. I'm also both a paid Medium subscriber and write (once or twice a year) on the platform.

What sets Medium apart to me from Substack, and why I would write in one but not the other, goes back to your original vision, that people should be able to write even when they don't want to write regularly. A newsletter is a continuous commitment; a single article is not.

You talk of experts, and I concur - my value out of Medium is the ML content. Most of it is written either by people who are new to it and are detailing their practice, or by those who really know their stuff. Both types help me get the gist quickly. In that sense, it's a knowledge-gap-plugger. Not Stackoverflow, obviously, but also not unlike it.

But here's where I think you've not thought it through deep enough. Experts also want things in exchange for their effort. You mention audience, and that's nice, but, frankly, it's a vanity metric - the audience isn't specific or useful in any way. It's wide rather than deep, so dopamine hit aside, experts don't really care about that.

Instead, experts care about CREDIBILITY. It's a status game. And that's where the publications come in. The difference between publishing an article just on my LinkedIn vs in a good publication is a signal it was vetted and accepted.
Most publications on Medium are garbage, but some of them, through the diligent work of their editors, are not.

If you want to attract experts to publish on Medium, you have to help them play that status game. And for that what matters more is the publications and their editors. You've kinda tried it before: Medium had previously lured publications onto the platform only to shut them down. And also had its own publications and then fired a whole bunch of reporters.

But if you're serious about attracting experts to post, then just getting a couple of thousand random eyeballs on their content doesn't really help them be better experts? If experts (of any domain) are your target audience, you need to think through how you're helping them be more of what they want to be...

Very cool product!

This really drives home for me the need to have some kind of separation in algorithms.

I have a few musical moods. I like country music and I like electronic music but I don't like to mix them. Moreover, I listen to a lot of Latin music sometimes but u really don't want to mix that with the other types. It's not necessarily a genre specific separarion even though I've presented it here that way.

All this to say, the first song that popped up for me to rate was latin. I'm not in that mood and don't want to rate latin or country songs right now. I don't want algorithms recommending things in those buckets to me right now. I don't want to swipe it away either tho because i might really like it when I'm in the latin mood. So my only option is to quit.

The product that solves this will be very useful
you'll get older and things will happen to you. at some point, before you die unless you die in a catastrophic situation, you won't be capable of working anymore. it's just facts of life.
heh, right now I have had an issue where in Stripe checkout. I paid for something for my spouse, and she decided to put her email in Stripe Checkout for the invoice. Now, EVERY purchase I make through Stripe Checkout with that credit card goes to my spouses email, and I have no way to fix this.

I would rather not have my credit card linked to any email, so I tried to fix this. To contact Strip support, I need a login (which I had for Liberapay), and I have been going back and forth with Stripe support for the past three weeks. But I find out really annoying that this occurs, and there seems to be no good way to fix it.

I say that to say, if typing in to HN for 5 minutes fixes the issue, that's a heck of a lot better than the past 3 weeks trying to fix this through the normal support chain.
This assumes that the human mind can continue to expand and hold increasing amounts of information, right?

Is that something that we know for sure?
So we know there is racial discrimination against Asians based on their race, and in favor of blacks and hispanics. Yet when I cited an example of an Asian kid getting rejected in favor of a black kid, you claimed I invented it. When you now admit we know it is happening.
Tegmark and Musk are both dumb people posing as intellectuals, but they are always in it for the attention, that's why their opinions are so out there. Tegmark totally didn't make up the one-in-six chance because it sounds scary.

You can't de-escalate a bully, let alone a madman by appeasing him. It's just not how it works, but these two geniuses always know everything better. WW3 alert my ass, that's what Putin wants you to be, scared. But we are not scared, even if the worst happens we are ready for it. It's Putin who should be scared, he is surrounded by enemies, just about everyone around him is waiting for him to be put down, they might even end up doing it themselves if he keeps this up. So far the Russians proved to be adequately level-headed and responsible when it comes to avoiding nuclear war, which probably only be nuclear on their side, because we have better tools in our arsenal that can be used to take them out.

They accused the other poster of making up the situation in which asian students are unfairly disadvantaged.

drives a semi through the weasel wording of 'other factors'

One wonders if slaves had other factors too.
That is a very far fetched statement. I am an Indian and technically from Other backward class (OBC) as classified in the system. I have never had a problem in my city. Off course that doesn't mean that India is not a huge and complex country with 100s if not thousands of groups differentiated based on region, class , caste etc. You are colouring a very complicated and nuanced issue with your personal biases.
EU countries are funding and arming Ukraine too. Baltic states and Poland are the ones pushing the most for support for Ukraine.

And obviously, all actual fighting and dying is done by Ukrainians. They are the ones being tortured and oppressed on occupied territories too. If Russia won, all Ukrainians would be oppressed by Russia.
The fact that change in the abstract can be good or bad doesn't mean specific changes don't make things worse. But maybe more importantly, the rate of change makes a huge difference. If change happens too rapidly, as human driven climate change seems to be, you don't have time to sufficiently adapt to take advantage of the new pros or offset the cons.

Climate change will make a lot of places less habitable while making some places more so. Great, it balances out, right? Except most people live in the places that are habitable now, and if the habitable areas change overnight (in relative terms), billions of people are going to suddenly be living in the wrong places. Natural climate change over tens of thousands of years would give populations plenty of time to migrate, as has happened in the past. Human driven climate change over 100 years will not.
