This is an interesting approach to the general problem. The general problem being that whatever data source you use is inevitably going to be polluted by players who wish to be top of the rankings in a search engine if your engine is used.

This is such a funny takeaway, basically it's "As long as you're extremely popular already, it basically doesn't matter what you do on your kickstarter, your fans will buy it anyway" - which is both true, and totall

This article seems... confused at best. It makes a kind of half-hearted claim that sanctions in general don't work, but provides no real suggestion for what to do instead (nothing? Invasion?). It also doesn't seem to make any real

Up until last week Germany showed no signs of seriously opposing Russia, they spent nothing on their military, they made their Russian oil essential to their energy policy (to the exclusion of nuclear) and senior former politicians lobbied

I agree with you about the timing, but I’m just not convinced it has anything to do with NATO. Russia absolutely has created a point of maximum pressure with gas, with the US standing in the world, with Nordstream 2. But I don’t believe it

Yes, in response to Russia building up an invasion force Biden re-affirmed the stance that Nato has had for over a decade. What changed wasn't Ukraine going into Nato, what changed was Russia deciding to invade Ukraine. It's a pre

It doesn't seem to me that this is a very solid argument. First off, it's essentially just cherry picking people over history who have made the argument against expanding NATO. Whilst there were people making the argument against

Nice little subtle marketing from Graphy there. In the first paragraph he's just a random CEO giving a quote, then you click through to the survey and turns out it's by SeedCamp powered by Graphy. Oh and then it turns out that G

>No money has been stolen using this method, as every attempts to cashout has been denied by human verification. This makes it sound a lot like the only reason you didn't exploit this for profit is because you tried and failed.

I guess that's an thorough way of saying "The problem with building a library is supporting all the use cases of a library, not solving the simple underlying problem". Sure, you've got BLAS level performance on this one

This is absolutely the lens we need to view the Ukranian crisis through. It's actually quite surprising that Europe has acted so strongly and unanimously in their condemnation of Russia given that they really need Russian gas to heat

So is this a self-fulfilling prophecy? Some guy decides a trillion dollar company should discard an entire dataset for no reason, and as a result a decade late the company can finally actually do the job, thus proving the guy ?right?

So, this is a bit confusing. Yes you're right that sanctions are just orders not to do business with certain companies, but one thing that Britain has up its sleeve is that ingeniously it spent the last decade luring Russian business m

I've been thinking this a lot recently. Go to Uber, you're working at a taxi company. Go work for Facebook- two choices, nothing you do matters, or you're selling perverts adverts. Go work for Google - you have no choice thei

I know this article isn't great, but is there anyone on HN who lives in Germany who could explain why there's such a scepticism of Nuclear power there? I'm from the UK and we have largely transitioned away from Nuclear for on

I think one of the important things you should be thinking about is whether (given your complexity is already tripping up automated tools) it will start tripping up your coworkers.

Yeah I think this is the real key, basically the emergency powers are all or nothing. They're designed for an absolute emergency, so it's perfectly reasonable to have the ability to freeze accounts and do all sorts of extreme stuf

I'm honestly always amazed at people in these threads who say "Oh, well in general this is a public good, so we should be hands off". Sure, the default should be hands off, but if you have enough information to know what yo

I think literally the only thing that's innovative about this company is how close they are willing to come to claiming to be a savings account when actually being a crypto fund. What's going on here is you're going to give S

The problem with reddit isn't different to the problem of astroturf in other places, it's that it's a highly concentrated form of it since it's so popular it's a highly valuable target.

It's interesting that Bezos basically left Amazon to have his mid-life crisis. He handed over the reigns for all the important stuff and went off to work on other stuff whilst he partied on yachts. Facebook is so tied to Zuckerberg as

I completely disagree with some of the points here. There seems to be this weird assumption from people that Reddit is some organic source of information that hasn't been polluted by advertisers and SEO. But the truth is that it absol
