We can imagine situations where voters place more importance on things other than money, right?

Like maybe the voters would prefer human police officers as opposed to armed drones, even if the drones were cheaper. Or maybe the voters don't want to be tracked by cameras everywhere they go, given how this data can be abused, even if it costs them $x more per year to shop.
Calling international for ‘free’ happened before social media; it was not as widespread but that would’ve eventually have happened without social media as the tech and products were already there quite some time before. I think we thank the mass uptake to smartphones more than social media.
Yes. And has been since 2014.

I think the title likely have Why in the headline but HN automatically removes that. Normally the submitter would have to manually edit and add it back.

Twice the size of the largest RE doesn’t mean much when 90% of the market is RE. People pick realtors, not companies, and companies have done pretty well to spread themselves evenly over the great US landscape. And you’re not primed to capture a market that is focused on spending $0 to list. That’s the reason they’re avoiding the real estate pipeline in the first place.
While I don't want to defend the chinese government

Yes you do. That what butwhataboutism is all about.
Particularly at this point, I'd like to see better communication between the board and wiki members/crats/admins. No news has been the rule with Miraheze except for planned service outages and donation requests. The way I found out about the closure announcement was from a Tweet that rides in with a 503 error message. I know it's early days, but a message about proposing to continue Miraheze would be useful on that platform, yes?
The linked article covers where the money comes from just FYI.
Instructions for wiping Pinboard. I plan to be mourned!

I have a card for a mortuary service I've prepaid for. In theory they ship my body to the mortuary from anywhere in the world, supposedly. It's worth looking into, I think. Keep a copy of the card in your wallet and a copy of the policy in the "upon my demise" folder.
IRC is basically unusable these days. Protocols which require a persistent open connection do not work on mobile devices.
Safest thing to do is tattoo it on the inside of your cheek
You like social media but you take things written by random people on a forum as personal attacks?
Can’t pinpoint one. Here’s a few:

- Down Dog Yoga helped while I was trying to improve posture. Also just makes me feel better.
- Slumber helps me get a good night sleep.
- Habits helps me build, you guessed it, good habits.

For something like this, you need a COBOL framework you can trust.

COBOL on cogs

http://www.coboloncogs.org/INDEX.HTM

It's robust, ... performant... well robust.... Fully conformant to COBOL 85...
This looks great.

One bit of feedback is that it seems quite difficult to read on a phone with small font requiring zooming and then horizontal scrolling. Both the website and the PDFs.

Being so text heavy I imagine it should be fairly easy to add some CSS to make it more readable.
I think GDPR was a great step in this direction, even with the annoying cookies popups. There's some states in the US with similar laws basically saying "it's legal for you to collect this data, but if you do you need to build systems for people to request all the data tied to them and for it to be deleted". Hopefully the next step would be to make data sharing opt-in, while it's somewhat limited it is really nice that iOS makes apps request access to different data.

I'm really curious how effective these are in practice if someone got logs or backups, but it at least gives people a path to know what data is there remove the active copies
> lock down content in the face of its increased value as private ML training data

That's easy to fix: Give out API keys; moderator tools, accessibility tools and third-party readers get free API keys. ML training data scrapers have to pay.

No need to go to war with the community over that.

Reddit has been constantly nagging users to use their App, so I really don't think it's about ML training data. It's about monetizing users by forcing them into their App.
And further unbalance the earth? No way. We need those bytes for ballast.
Try to be less pompous.

To avoid the probate crap, add beneficiaries to your IRA/bank accounts/stock brokers accounts.

Trusts that don't own any properties are useless. Just transfer real estate and land to trusts asap. Even though it is true that trusts save one from the probate headache, lawyers want 10 percent for dissolving and/or administering trusts. One doesn't need lawyers to dissolve/administer trusts; if you are a trustee, better familiar yourself with dissolution of trusts.
You’ve basically got small, big, and too big. Which is pretty close to my favored model.

FDD is rarely seen but it didn’t do points, it did the Law of Large Numbers.

When you have 400 stories you can build trends off of them.
> Not one high level person I spoke to during negotiations is still at Google today.

The whole Google culture and value has always been the same since Day one. And yet they somehow managed to convince majority of the public about how good they are for at least 10 - 15 years.

>Anecdotally, I'm not a huge fan of MS products (but no hater either), but Microsoft devs seem to love their work way more than Google devs, in my network.

That pretty much summarise the different between Microsoft and Google. The story is like Google's value and culture was founded upon the hatred of Microsoft. When Microsoft was supposed to be evil.
> Seven hours of focused mental work makes me bad at more focused mental work, but it doesn't make me bad at socializing or physical activities, for example, which is exactly what he's trying to say.

I’m exactly like this too. I enjoy my work way more than average, but depending on the day I have between 6 and 12 (median 7) focused hours to do work before my brain sort of grinds to a halt. But when I get home, if I unwind mindfully and don’t get trapped on HN or YouTube, I can go meet some friends for dinner or go to the climbing gym, and that feels energizing instead of draining.
And for giggles I put a copy of my "How to Disarm A W88 Thermonuclear Warhead" manual in my death-file.
Even from a “sniff test” perspective, this seems highly suspicious.
tcpdump allowed me to dive deep into network protocols like TCP, IPX, AppleTalk, and NetBEUI, and gave a big boost to my programming career.
What's annoying about this design, when there's such a small corpus, is that I need to search for many permutations of a query in order to find good results.

Without a feature like this, I want to have another feature that allows me to search for multiple queries at the same time and interleave the results.

But I also understand the advantages. C'est la vie.
Reddit is making money off their unpaid backs, and on top of that they want to deprive them of the tools the moderators use to do moderating, and make them pay for using those tools.

That's the reason the moderators in particular are all very much for the strike...
I hate that feature. I don't think it's possible to usefully solve clickbait with a trivial algorithm. HN already has robust tools for using human judgement to fix issues.
TLDR; this is a link to a web site that lets you compare average penis size by country around the world, in both metric and US-ian measures. The web site also has a page for letting you compare average breast sizes around the world.

+1. My brother and sister in law weren't thinking about that while she was in hospice and it was a major pita afterwards.
This is the situation I was attempting to make light of. Apple is not what someone from 1990 would think of as a Unix vendor, but due to paying the licensing fee they are one and there are very few left.
I've always been fascinated with NeXTSTEP. It's kind of unfortunate that even the basic interoperability features that made it over to Mac OS, like Services, seem underutilized. I often forget they even exist, because they don't seem core to the default workflow.

I installed OpenStep in a virtual machine after reading this comment. I poked around a bit, but I'm not sure I encountered any of the sort of stuff you're talking about in the OS. Do you have any examples of things I could try to experience some of the magic?
Nevermind the risk of a student stealing the gun from the armed guard, or the risk of the armed guard going through a rough divorce and deciding to go postal themselves.

The latter really scares me as a teacher. Imagine what the security guy could do with some planning time and full access to all locked doors as well as the camera and alarm systems.
Just an aside: the word for “anti-humanity” is “misanthropic”.
Yes, the failure here is a panic, typically a crash (of at least the affected subsystem), not memory corruption.

Slotmap avoids this via unsafe + implements its own handle system, which is probably the right approach.

The borrow checker avoids many other issues in addition to memory safety.

I might be optimistic but I can’t see Huffman surviving this. If you’re on the board, do you want this clown as your CEO? Sure, maybe they back the API changes killing the apps, but he’s come across as a fall guy at best and grossly incompetent at worst.
Most of those countries don’t have access to their own oil reserves, so are at the mercy of importing, and unless they can get a deal an sanctioned Iranian or Russian oil, they have to pay the same as other countries. In contrast, they have many more ways to generate electricity, even locally off the grid, that don’t require imports. I’ve stayed in places in China that have electricity via a water wheel (not reliable for sure, but enough to charge a bike), and no gas station for hundreds of miles around given low population density.

Ok, but hydrologically speaking, the water goes _fucking somewhere_.

So if it isn’t our underground reservoirs, maybe it’s, I dunno, above-ground reservoirs?

Never mind stealing, armed guards sometimes just forget and leave their weapons in the bathroom. A list: <https://giffords.org/lawcenter/report/every-incident-of-mish...>
That's what I can't be comfortable with : "would".

How long does it take to try it? A day?

Well then try it, either it'll work flawlessly on the first try, either you'll learn that the backup you have doesn't include logins, password and the security configuration that goes with it.
Or that the dump you took lost some data because it wasn't in the right encoding.

Or the tape drive you're using need specific drivers that aren't available on the web anymore because the company website's closed.

FCEV requires lots of compression, that compressed tank doesn’t come for free, and a lot of energy is lost to compression.
I'm thinking ahead for the company I work for. I was wondering how we could organize and store datasets for the long run. Because, yeah, we're a bit late on data management.

So I work in a Machine Learning department and getting our hands on data from clients have been a terrible mess (both architecturally and legally). How are we suppose to develop prediction machines for contexts we have no data on? I wish to push the discussions a bit in the right direction.
Okay, that's quite funny. Thank you.

Above ground? Terrorism/war seems like a problem. Imagine if Russia was motivated to invade Finland or something.
I remember being introduced to 3DS Max in school and looking for some piece of software that would let me keep on trying 3D modeling at home. I found Nendo, and had a lot of fun with it, but it always felt pretty limited. I remember Mirai as always being labeled "coming soon" for as long as I watched. I found Blender sometime around then, but I remember a lot of features being locked behind the shareware lock, and I think that it didn't work correctly on my GPU at the time (integrated into my SiS 530 motherboard chipset, then later, a Voodoo5 that may have worked...hard to remember now).

I ran into Wings3D a number of years after its original development and release. I think it would be fun to get into, next time I've got the urge to do some 3D modeling. Hopefully it's simpler than Blender has become!
> *Finally, it's interesting to hear comments from people saying the "wanted to punch everyone", etc, when they started TRT. At TRT doses, most men experience a sense of calm and confidence, rather than irascibility.

Yup. When off the stuff I’m super irritable. On it I’m calm. Too bad it turned my blood into 140w gear oil. I’ve been waiting 6mps to get into an endo who up and quit and now I’m waiting more.
A tower defense game whose core concept was from a chance reading of a Game Programming Gems book in the university library. Large numbers of bad guys in screen with solid frame rates, home built engine, and an AI that always attempts to thwart you by trying new paths into your base to defeat you (but also runs in a separated thread that pathfinds without hurting your framerate on a dual core or better system). Did I mention I started it on the old XNA library from Microsoft back when they offered the $99 license to make games?

Hasn't made a cent yet, but it has been a LOT of fun to build from scratch and tinker with over the years.
All speculation aside, this would make for a really great docudrama
What happens to the source of the 29.1 million dollars? Just a total loss? (Obviously I’m not an accountant)
Can we please keep the “you’re a paid bot” accusations on Reddit? I love reading contrarian comments on HN, even if they might be a little controversial. Accusing people of that will just make legitimate users shy away from posting opposing views lest they be called a shill. It’s also against the HN guidelines:

“Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.”

I've always wondered, once we get into asteroid mining, whether there will be a global "massening" if we bring more matter back to the planet. If the orbit should change and you know, cause problems and whatnot.

$3.4m of work divided by how many moderators = probably insulting to pay them would be my guess. Sure, the work and value isn't equally distributed.

Send thank you cards, annual gifts, maybe some sort of exclusive-ish discount program (a lot of corporations get employee discounts to large advertisers, maybe you could extend that to moderators at some minimum level of effort)

Maybe some token stock grants, if you can find a way to make that not a giant hassle.
Show HN: The Drive AI: Combine Google Drive, Notion into One Platform
We at The Drive AI are building a context-aware storage solution where you can upload, link, or sync files across different storage solutions, and build your knowledge base. With access to this knowledge base, you can query it to search for relevant information from a file or collection of files. You can also write new content based on your knowledge base.
We also want to integrate slack like channels so that teams don't have to leave somewhere else to store and manage their knowledge base. That means for businesses, you get slack like feature with storage system built in.

We’re talking about defined treatments and FDA approved drugs/treatments. HCG is approved for males for hormone replacement. Its up to the poster to prove the FDA is incorrect.

heres study on sperm production which is directly linked to t levels.

Conclusion: The most suitable option with the current data available is hCG with or without hMG/FSH. Testosterone supplementation should be avoided, but if they are already on it, it is still possible for a return of normal sperm production within 1 year after discontinuing testosterone.

I think it’s so true - I remember when I first read that and suddenly huge amounts of geopolitics and political decision-making suddenly made sense.

Unfortunately, I feel that a lot of political leaders, bureaucrats, intelligence analysts, etc. never reach that stage of realising that much of our intelligence is mistaken, wrong, incomplete, misleading etc. - so they’re always operating in that ‘can’t learn from anybody who isn’t in the club, just pretend to listen while immediately dismissing anything they have to say, no matter their expertise’ stage… And it affects democracy too - from their perspective, why listen to the will of the people, because they don’t know what we know.

And let this be a warning whenever you read something from an unnamed ‘intelligence source’ or ‘Government source’ in the press…
So, the huge factor you're talking about is stress. Another factor is multi-tasking. Each are multipliers in draining energy.

I can work 16 hour days also, but I'm still dealing with a good portion of that at a seriously degraded mental state. At the end, I'll be making the dumbest mistakes, and it's questionable if that time is even useful.

Athletes do it best I think. They have their cycles of sport, training and recovery. They know their limits. They know their optimum.
Pricing says $1 per listing for the first 100, then $995. If you’re targeting the FSBO market, doesn’t that mean you won’t be making any money most of the time? Am I missing something? Maybe the $1 per listing is temporary to kickstart it?
Are any of those 10 different ways a searx instance? When I'm about done recently, I try and few different instances.

It's pretty much a sad situation in regard to search engines. I do understand the difficulty due to the way a lot of websites want to engage in regard to crawling the data in the first place.

I'd say as a last resort try kagi, but I've no idea how deep and wide their results are, even if many are saying great things. What many people say doesn't seem to amount to much these days. A lot of people thought adding reddit was the greatest trick ever to help google, but most would have never compared those results to some other focus with google like ... inurl:stackexchange [note now appears to work with duckduckgo]

That's actually completely and entirely untrue. The largest delta of CO2 in the coming years will be coming from developing countries as they rise up to modern standards.

But when you say:

It pretty clear you're not really arguing in good faith. Dog whistle is pretty loud.
I think there's generally considered to be three classes of authentication methods

- something you know, like a password
- something you have, like an RFID card
- something you "are", like a fingerprint

You can add multiple of these and choose from different categories to add security, but each time you do it also gets less convenient. You could require a birth certificate, DNA test, and social security number for any access to a bank account, but then it wouldn't really work as a checking or savings account, and if you lose your birth certificate you're locked out of your account.

Definitely worth considering the other side - when you need to access the account how much inconvenience and delay are you willing to put up with before you can? For a checking account it seems like people usually just want a single one of them - the debit card, account login, or face/fingerprint to authenticate
I share the frustration with the major online news portals, and have in fact built my own portal powered by Wikipedia[1].

But eventually I realized that my biggest gripe with news today isn't the presentation but the content. And I'm not talking about biases or sensationalism – I'm talking about the news items themselves.

Much of what passes as news today is stuff like "15 people die when a copper mine collapses in Chile". I'm trying to get a big picture view of the world, and I don't believe that such stories are at all conducive to that endeavor. News as we know it is just an endless stream of random events, apparently selected according to a handful of crude criteria, the most important one being dead people. I've been a keen follower of global news for many years, and I don't feel that I'm understanding anything.

Where are the truly novel approaches to painting a picture of what the world is today? Where are the quantitative news portals, the event pattern search engines, the automatically derived trends? I'm still looking.
