The Sad Demise of Dan Ariely
Who is reporting detecting and reporting crime that dictates those rates? Why are some areas of towns so racially segregated?
I think it’s hit and miss and just because you like one type doesn’t mean you’ll like another. I love anchovies and disliked sardines for a long time until recently I had an amazing sardine experience and now I like (specific) sardines, as does my 9yo…. Try a lot, love a few
Twitter traffic is ‘tanking’ as Meta’s Threads hits 100M users
It makes sense to me with 3/5 senior managers. They came from working IT backgrounds as developers, network admins, or SAP developers/senior admins.

2/5 of these senior managers have zero IT experience either in role or outside of this company. Yet they make very technical decisions, which either need to be corrected or clarified.

Complaints to the director about this have fallen on deaf ears.
The way I see it, ontology is a big deal in application programming. That is, if you have a correct model for the application domain the code almost writes itself. (In fact, I think "no code" or "low code" systems should be ontology driven... There are numerous simple models of business situations that are general and better than the models that people come up with their own.)

I am currently working on redoing my web presence, I really need a Python-based SSG which is good for technical and scientific content.
It’s easy to over-focus on gaming the promotion system because that’s the part that’s under your control. If someone comes to ask me for advice on how to get promoted, I can’t exactly say “try being smarter and delivering results faster”, even though those factors have a lot more impact than micro-optimizing the promotion review committees.
Wage theft is also not the type of crime that is caught by police on patrol. Having more cops in a neighborhood wont stop wage theft. Wage theft requires reports of misconduct and an investigation.

You're comparing apples to oranges.
Hey! IronIQ is my attempt to make a workout app I’d actually like to use, and I’d really like feedback on it.

Here’s a few features I’ve been particularly fond of:

- [Beta] AI for personalized workout routines

- 2K+ exercises with detailed how-to videos

- Customizable rest timers, even on the Lock Screen

- Track progress with intuitive charts and stats

- Organized UI by day of the week, keeping it simple, also has themes and more little details

- History and routines stored securely on iCloud without any data sharing back to me

- Hassle-free option to buy once and remove ads

Exciting things I’m working on right now:

- AI will actually add a routine to the app for you, not just text, and have more information for help in-workout

- Timed endurance exercises

- Supersets

- Multiple language translations

Hope this project is exciting to more than just me!
Common sense is a poor argument.

"Crime" has multiple elements: the law, the act, the observation, and the prosecution.

We disproportionately outlaw things that poor people do. ("The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges.") We disproportionately observe poor people, as shown by this article. We disproportionately convict poor people, who can't afford bail or good legal representation.

Yet people always want to jump to that other element. The disproportionate crime rates can't be due to all those other things, it must be due to them committing more crimes.

The only thing we can say for sure is that poor people commit different crimes. They use different drugs and in different settings; they are more likely to commit theft than embezzlement; they are more likely to cause property damage than violate building codes. The rest is made murky by an unfair legal system and a societal tendency to treat crimes of poverty as individual in nature and crimes of wealth as systemic failures.

For some genres that's the point. Most modern black metal is released on cassette tape, to achieve the desired black metal sound.

In my context, namely my country, which is not china but a "developed" western country.
My parents and step-parents are all retired teachers so I've seen the system from both the student and teacher's sides (and now also as a parent). School is not like a factory where raw material (students) come in, teachers apply work onto the raw material, and then finished product (educated students) come out. You can measure the students, but you are not measuring teaching quality. Student success is probably close to 95% parents/culture/homelife/nutrition and 5% some result of teacher input. If you have a reliable way to isolate and measure that 5% independently, by all means, suggest it to your local school board. They would absolutely love it.
If you read the underlying findings [1], there were two behavioral ethics studies with fabricated results. The first was conducted in 2012 and was supervised by Ariely.

+1 on shynet! I use it for my personal website and my blog, and it's been working great.

I got it up and running with Podman, so no need to install and run the Docker daemon. I also fixed SQLite support [1], so no need for an additional DB server.

I analyzed available open-source web analytics tools [2] and AFAIK there is simpler solution for web analytics that doesn't involve a third party.

One of the best illustrations of this is a fascinating study about police stops and sunset time. They were able to demonstrate that when the sun is up (i.e. the driver can be seen), black drivers are more likely to be pulled over, but when the sun goes down, it equalizes. As a bonus, they controlled for other factors by looking at these stats around when daylight savings switches.

https://engineering.stanford.edu/magazine/article/black-driv...

> First, they narrowed the range of variables they had to analyze by choosing a specific time of day — around 7 p.m. — when the probable causes for a stop were more or less constant. Next, they took advantage of the fact that, in the months before and after daylight saving time each year, the sky gets a little darker or lighter, day by day. Because they had such a massive database, the researchers were able to find 113,000 traffic stops, from all of the locations in their database, that occurred on those days, before or after clocks sprang forward or fell back, when the sky was growing darker or lighter at around 7 p.m. local time.

> This dataset provided a statistically valid sample with two important variables — the race of the driver being stopped, and the darkness of the sky at around 7 p.m. The analysis left no doubt that the darker it got, the less likely it became that a black driver would be stopped. The reverse was true when the sky was lighter.
"Management" definitely seems easier, than having to do technical work, without proper accountability.

But it seems it's hard to hold management accountable.

For an IC such as an engineer, if you don't deliver code for the deadline or check-in, it's clear you haven't delivered.

But how do you judge the performance of managers? Oh, right, by the size of the "empire"...
+1 on this. Spent 4 years at Google including spending time as a TLM. Left around 2020 so my impressions may be a bit out of date. I spent time in both the Geo and Search PAs, and IMO Google's biggest problem is listless senior leadership.

Google's orgs tend to lack product vision - there's a lot of abdication to front-line teams to ideate, come up with their own ideas, and ship features. My VP-levels were AFAIK only dimly aware of what we were shipping and largely seemed only concerned with the people-management side of the org. There was a lot of focus on morale, promo tracks, effective team composition, and other topics to the near-total exclusion of anything about the products we owned.

Contrast with where I am now where the VP-levels I meet with on a regular basis have nearly encyclopedic knowledge about the products they own. What a breath of fresh air.

The net result at Google was that we shipped a lot of features ourselves with little guidance from upper management. A lot of stuff would get killed opaquely because senior management changed their minds about some overarching strategy. The level of high-level turnover at Google didn't help matters - every incoming new VP or Director would wipe the slate clean for their own multi-year plan, and then get promoted/demoted out of the position before it went anywhere. Rinse and repeat with the next senior leader.

Senior leadership was also naive and credulous when it came to major new initiatives. To get any kind of product idea past leadership (to the extent they engaged in the product process) the PMs would have to project wild metrics that didn't stand up to one iota of scrutiny, but was frequently just accepted. I strongly suspect this is part of why Google kills so many projects - it demands insane metrics to approve major initiatives, PMs dutifully submit said ludicrous projections, upper management credulously accepts it, and then of course the real numbers are nowhere close, and whole projects die as a result.

I feel very firmly that Google as a company needs a reckoning at the top levels if it wants to be a company that has any product credibility.
Yes, for two or three years.

police aren't co-creators in crime

Police aren’t co-creators of crime, they’re co-creators of crime statistics. Crimes that go unreported, with no arrest made, are invisible to crime statistics. When the police arrest someone and charge them with a crime, it counts as both an arrest and a reported crime.

So even if crime were uniformly distributed across the city, if police spent the majority of their time in one neighbourhood they’d make more arrests there and so it follows that the statistics would show higher crime in that neighbourhood.
I’ve known plenty of people who will ask 1,000 questions about lifting before ever going to the gym.
I think this app is great for people who are just getting into it, and want something that feels like a definitive answer.

Im sure after a few months of this, you’ll find better information on how to progress, but I’d recommend this to anyone texting me “hey what should I do at the gym.”
Yeah, I have no idea if he's right. But he's very clear.
The Adaptix vice seems like a nice approach for a lot of use cases, but unless I'm mistaken, the fractal vice seems like it will get a better grip to prevent curved objects from turning with less pressure applied from the vice, right? i.e. if someone is working with material other than metal and doesn't want to damage it?

Regardless, I'm a little shocked that a) I've never seen either of these designs manufactured by low-cost brands like Harbor Freight, and b) the ones that are out there are so expensive. A complete Adaptix vice setup is $7000? I'm sure that makes sense for professional machinists or people working with a LOT of force, but surely a hobbyist version could be made for a sale price less than $100, maybe $200 for a heavy-duty version. It's basically just a big vice that has two smaller, perpendicular vices for its jaws, and the smaller vices have captive, sliding metal bars between their jaws, right? I'm pretty sure I could make a set of jaws that would suit my purposes out of parts that would cost no more than $25 at the hardware store. It would have saved me an awful lot of headache on small hobby projects over the years, so I'm probably just going to go ahead and hack one together.

Either of the fractal designs (classic "teeth at the ends" version versus "flat-faced", for lack of better names) seem like they would require a decent amount of fairly precise machining, so I can understand them costing more, but $2000 for an Ali Express version still seems high.

That threw me for a loop. I went to download 115 and got 102.

I've mostly stuck with webmail (Fastmail for personal, Gmail for work) but would love to get back to a local client. So I'm willing to give the new Thunderbird a shot, but it's perplexing when they advertise 115 and give me 102 and it's really unclear how to get the nifty stuff they're advertising.
If the author had emphasized the practical benefits to the average non-influencer-wannabe dev, this article would have been a lot more useful.

This! Or how about some humility: Tell a story about where your communication style didn't work, and what you learned and how you changed. Or tell a story about the worst talk that you ever gave. I like listening to those stories from comedians -- their bigest failure -- and what they learned. With 100% certainty, I have learned more from my failures, than my successes. And too many of my successes were luck. To quote Mike Bloomberg (again on HN!), "Work hard, and you might get lucky."

I had a similar experience with CPAP, but also not eating after 5 PM did wonders for my sleep.

Unfortunately I don't abide by that 5PM rule very often, but without a doubt I sleep much more deeply and have more vivid dreams when I sleep on an empty stomach.

I heard good things about Bishop however I am a SE that would like do know more about what the ML team is doing and maybe work on some ML side projects. Would you recommend Bishop here or is it considerer to theoretical for such a case?
Next time there’s a re-org, look around for managers who net lost reports, or even “decided to move on”.
I've seen a lot of barebones serverless sites, but this one really takes the price. About that, would be nice to know the cost? Or at a minimum some docs, _before_ wasting time on it.

No - it will be cut down on the same basis as the agreements before.

Its not just a US thing, other places in the world have fluoride in their water. In many areas fluoride just naturally occurs in the water at levels even higher than what managed services target. But other countries, such as Hong Kong, parts of Malaysia, Singapore, Ireland, parts of Spain, parts of the UK, parts of Canada, Mexico fluoridates table salt, most of Austrailia, Fiji is rolling out a program, half of New Zealand, about half of Brazil, and most of Chile all have some water fluoridation programs. Many other countries did at some other point in time but stopped doing it.
I also receive pdfs via email, but I don’t want a pdf reader in my email client.

It’s perfectly feasible to write an email client that hands off received events to a calendar application and receives the response to send back. It’s all icalendar components under the hood anyway.

Putting everything together in a single monolithic program that handles email, calendar and contacts is a design choice, not a technical requirement.

And yes, I do use the workflow that your descube receiving and sending calendar events. But Thunderbird’s design is annoying because it’s a all or nothing situation: you can’t just use it as an email client and use some other calendar application.

I think you can use control-enter to open a new tab instead. But with Firefox open right now I searched for several open things and it didn't offer to switch tabs. I've usually only seen that when searching tabs with % though.

What does that say about how easy it is to sign up in the first place? I assume they were ok with that.
HN has a convention of using the headline from the article, and it puts the article's publisher name/domain right after the headline, like attribution. So the impression is that particular publisher is saying that thing definitively.

The difference of "allegedly" is big to a publisher (missing it can break their own company), and to a journalist.

Because of this, I think it's also a big difference to the savvy reader. When an outlet dispenses with the "allegedly" or phrasing as someone else's claim/assertion, that feels to me like a rare occasion on which they really want to impress that it's definitive. And that they know what they're doing, and that experienced readers can tell. Never crying wolf. (A little like how you'd say "literally" once in a decade or lifetime, with emphasis, for impact, when it was really true.)
I did mean that, but it is possible to search for tabs, history, or bookmarks by starting your search with an @. E.g. `@tabs ycombinator`
Regardless of them being integrated into any product, AIs greatly help at generating resources. Texts, images and perhaps even a form of support.

It could even manage engagement with users so that limited HR resources could be used elsewhere. I think smaller companies are much more flexible to leverage advantages AI will bring in the future.

Even with OpenAI being in the hands of MS, I believe in the long run the smaller companies will leverage LLMs more efficiently.
Because in America (and most places), if you can have a job your enjoy that gives you purpose you're probably already rich. Usually with inherited middle class wealth, like having a stable home or better. You're probably sitting on top of the privilege pyramid by your countries standard.

Most aspirational people who are out to make mega bucks are trying to put distance between themselves and the time they didn't have that, and to setup the structures in their life so if they have kids, they can give that easy going life to their heirs.
I like it! But instead of modifying your data to suit SVG's default coordinate system, I suggest using a top-level "g" tag with a "transform/scale" attribute. Like this:

<svg class="natural-units"
width="200px" height="200px"
viewBox="-1 -1 2 2"
>
<desc>A static svg unit circle</desc>
<g transform="scale(1,-1)">
<circle class='unit-circle' r="1" fill="none" stroke-width=".001 "/>
</g>

</svg>

Example adapted from: https://simpatico.io/svg.md#naturalunits

In this way you can use the intuition about the coordinate system that you built in school.
Maybe it's just because I have so much experience with design and visual art, but I think SVG is one of the most, if not the most underutilized web format. It's great for the self-contained static vector graphics that it's most commonly used for, but it can do so much more. SMIL animations can be a little clunky, but having an alternative to gif and video that doesn't require JS is pretty rad-- especially for throbbers and things like that. That you can work with SVGs so easily using JS and CSS is awesome. You can even build your own filter stacks using its built-in effects... though last time I did that with a detailed full-screen art piece, performance was rough.
I don't get how the problem would be harder with a universal timezone. Currently, I have to look up which timezone India is in and find a good time that works for both of us. In a universal timezone, I would have to look up what time noon is in India and find a time that works for both of us.
I love this, it pretty closely echoes my own attitude about these things.

If I don't trust the software, I don't use it. That is one of the main reasons why 95% of all the software I use is OSS in some form -- not because OSS is inherently more trustworthy, but because the culture of the OSS world makes it much easier to trust.

But the expansion of opt-out telemetry in OSS absolutely erodes that trust, making it more like commercial software. Software engaging in opt-out telemetry, or telemetry that you can't even opt out of, is software I will do my best to avoid using, OSS or otherwise.

I am saddened to see this trend happening in the Linux world. There are several trends that are reducing/removing the very things that make Linux better than other OS choices, and this is one of them.
Since the vast majority of users are a chromium based browser, doesn't this put the burden on your server pretty much all of the time? why even bother with code to do 2 different things when the other thing is such a niche segment of users?
There is no absolute definition of "left", nor absolute calibration.

Stop using innuendo and say what you mean. It really helps with getting your point across.

What I am assuming you mean is that doctors in the USA are killing live babies post delivery because the mother doesn't want them. That is infanticide. It is illegal. Full stop. And it is not happening at any sort or rate worth mentioning. The only place it happens is in the fever dreams of right-wing politicians who want to scare up support to ban abortion and the rubes who believe them. It is a lie designed to get people to react with disgust to something that isn't happening so that they can be manipulated into supporting conservative causes.
Doesn't this flip all text in the SVG upside down?
A classic armchair response. DNA has complementary nucleotides (AT,GC) that facilitates its pairing. Base 3 wouldn’t work in that sense. Also, you can’t forget about the genetic code.
