Alphabet has claimed to be fighting ad fraud for many many years. That is not how an organization fighting ad fraud would structure itself. Alphabet does not have an abundance of technical incompetence. But it does have the strongest of inc

I don’t think thinner laptops with larger batteries are intellectually interesting either. Even though I might favor one if I was shopping for a new Thinkpad and was willing to spend more money on a laptop than I am likely to spend.

At 100,000ft the pilot is just another Amazon delivery driver. And the other pilot is another Amazon driver riding shotgun as required by law. “As required by law” is a synonym for “as bad as is still legal.”

My guess is that an ordinary system date is being formatted as a string using a routine that also converts finer grained times for logging. Which is to say there is some timeToString function that works for comment time stamps as ordinary s

My take is HN is changing to adapt to current changes to the hard question: What separates intellectually interesting AI from uninteresting AI, right now? Thirty years ago, Baysian generated poetry was intellectually interesting en

I often use wired $10 Sony ZX headphones and for audio even those are vastly superior to any earbuds, including my AirPod Pros. The AirPods were the most convenient piece of electronics I’ve ever owned, but the sound is earbud quality.

No. Not at all. My life has been made better through social media use. I am more connected to people who live far away. More connected to people of different backgrounds and have connections to people who I never would have met but for the

Unless your license is backed up by the legal wherewithal to enforce its terms, your choice doesn't matter. There are is no Software License Enforcement Agency. And by "legal wherewithal" I mean enough money to out lawyer the

But could we create a hash table that would be truly constant-time? No. As the size of your data structure grows, it requires progressively slower memory. At a large enough size to be interesting, everything is dominated by IO and because

The Low Countries have their cycling culture because they are flat, small and temperate. The US is always vast with extreme temperatures. It’s often mountainous or a desert or a desert with mountains.

They might object to the existence of the software and demand “its destruction.” Or sue your ass…or file a DCMA takedown with Github. Or all of the above. The best likely outcome is probably “no.” Because they have lawyers and that’s what l

You are free to interpret this comment as prohibition or as my blessing, but... If it matters, ask your lawyer. If it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Or to put it another way, trademarks (you've mentioned two) and copyrigh

Replacing “cyclist” with “motorist” and then “pedestrian” with “cyclist” would make your sentiment outrageous. Like I said, cycling culture is aggressive.

What matters is not the number of miles. What matters is the number of people killed. A steady miles per fatality means more people die as more miles are driven. And more miles driven is the trend.

I don’t disagree. As a pedestrian, cyclists are a huge danger because cycling culture is built on aggression, ignoring traffic laws like stop signs and cross walks, and treating humans as street furniture.

In the US, I think twenty years after implementation is about the minimum passage of time to evaluate a significant CBD urban plan. In part because it averages out economic cycles like the one’s mentioned in TFA. In part because cities chan

I don’t disagree. To me, this question here is pretty much in service of the original question which was a drive-by-solve-my-business-problem-for-free that got flagged (probably for being a drive-by-solve-my-business-problem-for-free). And
