Why is it that posts about someone else lacking empathy always themselves lack empathy?

If someone ranted at you, telling you that you are a bad person and unable to relate to others, like you just did in these two posts, how would you feel?

You insist they couldn't possibly have lost anyone close to them, but of course you don't know that. You're merely imposing your style of coping on them. What if they have lost someone? Go back and re-read your post telling them they're coping with it all wrong.

that is the problem with net fairness via speeds,etc is that underlying network ecosystem is not static it will change and with that change comes new problems in being fair with speeds. etc

The rating is completely inaccurate. The ratings have nothing to do with the movie or its merits, but from a perceived slight that a bunch of bloggers and nationalists were offended at.
...or operating around obstacles (trees, overhangs, vehicles). Anyplace that has to be approached in anything except a fast horizontal vector, which in town is any place at all pretty much?

Add to that identifying a target visually and tracking. A plane could hit a fixed target but if its moving, a model plane could have an awful time matching speed and direction.

Pro tip for those unhappy with their ISPs: You get what you pay for.

If you pay for a consumer, price-oriented package, expect price-oriented service in return. There is a reason your office doesn't use consumer Internet, and that a 1.4 Mbps T1 costs $400/month, while low-end 6 Mbps DSL costs $30/month -- 4x bandwidth for <10% of the cost, what a deal!

I shouldn't have to say this on Hacker News, but what you pay ISPs for is quality of service and support. If you want that at home, pay for a business-class service. Comcast offers business-class to residences, for example; we've used it many times and the services and support have been excellent.

If our government wasn't corrupt we should have used that money to build a government fiber service instead of giving that money to private shareholders.
I wonder if they have any plan on releasing this toolset to non-academic users? I can see this being really useful in the enterprise for training and such.
I believe your observation is correct, that movies are over-rated at first, but I doubt this is wholly - nor even mainly - corruption.

People who are motivated to see a movie early are the same people who are likely to enjoy that movie. This makes it natural for movies to get rated very highly when they are first released. That's just natural.

If you forced people to photograph their ticket stub, I believe this could make the problem worse: mainly people who particularly loved the movie (or thought it was significantly worthy of comment) would be motivated enough to do that. You'll just collect the IMdB's 10s and 1s.

I know many people use the IMdB for their own record-keeping. These people would stop doing that if there was an administrative barrier that made it less convenient than a paper equivalent, e.g. writing in an address book. I strongly believe this makes their votes neutral/genuine compared to other survey methods.
I'm of mixed minds about this. On one hand, if your CEO isn't smart enough to appreciate engineering, R&D, and the cultural needs of high talent, you'll never get anywhere. The long-term result of having a business-driven technical organization isn't having a lower talent level. It's losing all the talent.

On the other hand, it's really simplistic to assume that engineers are "the good guys" and that having an engineer-turned-CEO will guarantee an engineer-driven organization. There are plenty of self-hating, Benedict Arnold engineers who'll gladly sell technology out to management. For some reason, a substantial portion of the engineers who become executives are that kind, and I don't know why, but it gives the good engineers who move into leadership a bad name.
They're not actually interested in talking about "the worst movie in history." That's just a hook to talk about what they really want to talk about: crowdsourced ratings are subject to organized groups with an agenda.
Students, teachers and administrators everyone hates it. Though I would say this is partly because teachers and administrators arent trained properly.

I agree it does have a UI which dates back a decade and consequently not a very good UX, However moodle HQ is well aware of this problem and I expect them to crank out better UI/UX in newer versions. The lack of training aspect, I am not sure how much are they serious in tackling.

All generalizations are false, including this one.
Again, this only works on the paid Apps for Education plan, which explicitly has phone support.

If it's anything like their business support, it'll be pretty good.

But some 10's and 1's are lazy indignant people. Putting an obstacle in the way of registering a rating could filter out lots of noise. Leaving people who deliberately, intentionally review movies. Those ratings would be of an entire different class.
So, if ISPs are free to charge extra for bandwidth used by premium content providers, are they also free to charge extra based on other factors?

In other words, could the Koch Brothers start an ISP that gave a break to conservative information providers and charged extra to competing political views?
But most of the people who has given the rating have not seen the movie. They are giving the lowest rating just to put their point forward. This is not a documentary to put the truth on the screen (I am not sure how much of the movie is fiction).

I think the author calls data erroneous as the rating does not represent the actual quality of the movie - a thing which IMDB wants to achieve. He doesn't call it erroneous for actual errors in the process of collecting ratings.

I think, as you said, you are just inclined to seek more nuances.
A lot of movies don't get a pre-release screening for critics (or they do for limited amount of critics, usually small timers that can be influenced with gifts or free tickets), thats why you'll sometimes see RT give a skewed rating until the release day.

The release for that movie is the 9th, so its not out yet outside of limited distribution. Wait until all the reviews come in this weekend for a more complete score.
I'm assuming the title got rewritten? It is probably important to note:

"ack versions 2.00 to 2.11_02 are susceptible to a code execution exploit. Please upgrade to 2.12 or higher ASAP."
IMDB ratings are bull. Lots of great movies, often even classics, rate around 6 on IMDB because the general public considers them "boring".

The only movies that escape from the IMDB average are a) decent movies that are loved by the masses, b) great movies the masses don't watch (being in black and white or not in English alone pretty much guarantees 2 bonus points) and c) movies everyone agrees on are total crap.
That's fine. Some do it badly, and some do it well.
I don't think that's always true - there are certainly movies that are "so bad they're good" (and thus become the fodder of MST3K/RiffTrax). But, there are movies that are just straight-up bad and can never be redeemed even by the likes of MST3K. For example, the Paris Hilton movie the author briefly discusses.

There are certainly films that are "so bad they're good", but then there are just bad films.

Ask HN: What's relevant to Google Search ranking anymore?
As a small-time blogger, I've faced several big blows by google and their search algorithm updates.<p>It seems like Google may be trying to cut down on big site's black-hat (or grey-hat) SEO but it feels to me like there is nothing left to do for any small bloggers in order to get ranked and be relevant.

High quality content doesn't mean much (hell, low quality content from already highly ranked sites gets the first picks)
One thing to consider is that US households are quite often getting less than the advertised speeds (probably because ISP's don't want to bother installing more repeaters or it's difficult to do so). I.e. you can barely get 10 Mbps on a 20/1 Mbps package. That skews the average speed stats.

From my experience, that is not the case in the EU - you pay for 20/1 Mbps, you get those speeds +/- a few Kb. Which is also why many don't want to switch from DSL to fiber where it is available - "why would I need that, my Internet is fast enough".
> If the Google decides to ban students gmail account (because students name does not sound real enough or without explanation), the student is f-ed.

Google has never banned hosted gmail acccounts, and I can't see how or why it would.
It is possible that the server admin fucked your particular installation. Moodle is well tested and such a major functionality being broken is not possible. Moodle does eat up substantial amount of resources (CPU/RAM) but usually the sysad has to be smart enough to gauge resources according to expected concurrent users.
> BA's are ALSO liable for data breaches in the same way covered entities are (provided data is breaches in their custody, of course). This means a BA has to maintain all of the same training and compliance requirements, including physical and logical security and auditing requirements.

Yes, but none of that matters if your concern is limiting who actually has (legal) access to your data, which I believe was the original concern.

Business associates may be liable for data breaches, but OP's concern seems to include the fact that the covered entities don't even have to receive consent from the patient before sending data to the business associate in the first place ("In summary, you can no longer assume confidentially between health providers/monitors and patient interactions, to the detriment of all involved.").
My ex-colleague introduced this to me and I thank him every time I use ack. It is really so much better than grep.
I have set up a bunch of aliases to search by file type and it makes me so productive.
This is not correct. Many people dont bother to vote or review unless the movie for them is at an extreme goodness or badness, so the hassle is worth it. I ve watched a lot of so-so or simply good movies, but I only have voted 5-6 times and those got either a 10 or a 1.
How about letting people decide for themselves? Not corporations, not universities. If people get married and get jobs, success! What other measure is needed?

Years ago, when you could download roms from the mame website, I gave a strong up score to the Tron romset.

That tipped the romset into the spotlight - there were some leaderboards for highest recent activity and so on. Other people started downloading the romset and voting on it.

Suddenly this obscure romset was catapulted into most of the lists for "most active" and "best" etc.

I had rated the game honestly. I had fond memories playing the cab for a week on holiday in my youth. But I was surprised that so many other people felt the same, especially on the Mame platform where the game's controls made it tricky.

All my deliberate attempts at voting shennanigans failed miserably. (Although I haven't investigated MTurk or similar yet.)

I wish there was a site like Meatball wiki where people could share their vote-weighting methods.
For some reason, it took me one or two minutes of rereading to realize it was ack, not awk. I think this website was going to be some ironic trash-talking about grep. Then I saw "written in Perl" and I got so confused my head almost exploded.

Anyway, neat tool. Will check it out soon.

Metered service...OK. Bring on the gigabit pipe and turn the meter on.
I think this is a brilliant move by Google. I think it's hardly about the teachers, and more about the students. Three things come to my mind watching this video:

1. Adobe software like Photoshop being easy to pirate made it easy for design students to use it exclusively, helping it become the de facto software used in industry

2. A while ago Microsoft was able to have Word/PowerPoint become part of the computing educational curriculum, helping them become the de facto document/presentation software.

3. Every one of those kids in the video had Chromebooks sitting on their desk. A Chromebook makes sense for a student because it's cheaper, but is no longer viable if students are required to use Word/PowerPoint.

The point of 1 & 2 is that people use what people know. I think this is a great long term thinking move that could help both Chromebook and Google Apps in a very big way.

WhatsApp has a much more minimalist feel than KakaoTalk. Take a look at some screenshots[0]. On the upside, it supports PC, but idiotically, it's a desktop app (Windows-only), rather than a web app.

Their revenue streams are very different too. Whereas WhatsApp relies on subscription fees, KakaoTalk has a built-in gaming platform. It also sells "stickers," basically emoticons you can send to friends.

As whitenoise mentions below, it's only if your I-140 has been approved or your H1B has been extended that your spouse can work.

Even if you are getting your H1B this October, and assuming that you could qualify for EB-2 in ROW and that your company starts the green card process the day you start working (more likely it's gonna take 6 months to a year), your wife still won't be able to work for another 2 years. Just getting the PERM these days can easily take a year.

Also IANAL.

Thanks for this. I was always curious about the influence of Israeli tech in the drones here in Arizona in the late 90's.

At that time I was the technical rep for Snap-on Equipment, and I was called by TRW outside of Ft Huachuca. They needed equipment that could diagnose the computer system used in a drone, but the engine was a Moto Guzzi from Italy, and it had fuel injection on it that had been supplied by the Israelis. The fuel injection system had been stripped of all the diagnostic capability for some reason, so TRW was having a hard time diagnosing the system. I sold them a Simutech, which was this big octupus of wires that let you tap into all the PCM signals at once.

In China and Hong Kong I've seen similar trends -- much bigger devices, and far more of them than in the UK and North America. The decreasing cost of high-resolution displays and being located closer to the electronics manufacturing capitals of the world probably also play a role. When buying a smartphone people there will generally choose the biggest size that comfortably fits in one hand.

I wonder if the size categories came from how the device is intended to be used; I've only seen the screen-size distinction but suspect it's more like this:

Smartphone: can be easily held and operated with one hand

Phablet: can be held between the thumb and fingers of one hand, but big enough that many operations will require two hands

Tablet: designed to be held and operated with two hands
It frustrates me that even as they expand, they seem to have a distribution model that is one-way-only. If your local store doesn't have an item, you can locate the stores that have it, but they won't send it to the store nearest you. You can order items online, but you can't pick them up at a local store to save on the outrageously high shipping fees. This is even more frustrating when the item is unavailable online, but is sitting in another store 200 miles away. Can't they toss it on a truck for redistribution?

Netflix doesn't want this to go through, their market saturation is not nearly high enough.

76% of american's have some form of extended television service, cable/satellite.

Netflix covers around 10% of US households.

They see them selves as being in competition with these other providers. It is in their best interest to keep the cost of providing Netflix as low as possible until their % of households is significantly higher.

So when you talk about protectionism you probably need to back out a level. Because remember the big business of the companies pushing the "internet fast lane" is also television. They have layers of conflicting interests in their wish to constrain Netflix.
