Perhaps you should calm down a bit instead of constantly policing HN for thought-crime.

There is a difference between moderating and constantly shutting down everyone that doesn't agree with your strict views of the world (i.e. what you've just did) while giving a stage to the ones that propagate your ideology (i.e. those flags you keep removing from opinionated and non factual posts).

He clearly states that the placebo won't work in quantifiable illnesses because those quantifiable effects don't depend on the perception from your brain.

Most of all, is the accountability I care for. The accountability that he didn't had to care about as a taxi driver but that cares very much when he drives an Uber.

I wish they could use RStudio for a while and understand just how important is the feature for someone using Python for research.

I try to get them to change to Tox (https://tox.chat/) but it's not easy sincerely, since only very few of us use Linux exclusively and understand the problems with trying to work with Skype (basically we use the web version but can't use video in the conferences) on other OS other than Windows.

It is almost like the moderators in HN have a clearly defined and very limited political range of ideological opinions they believe in and that they only allow anyone else to express - or even discuss about - their personal opinions if they mirror those of the moderators.

It is incredible how fickle printers are, all the hassle they give, printing problems, network connection problems, special drivers to install even on modern operating systems, paper jams (one would have guessed by now they should have at least solved the paper jams) even on our quite expensive printers.

It's like everything but the print quality got stuck in the year 2000 and never again evolved.

Although not a totally Open Source workflow, it does provide the possibility of using it in any system we personally work and makes sharing and editing documents from various parties much easier.

For me, this signals a paradigm shift at least in academia where we would normally use open source in various places, but revert to Office to write collaboration documents and proposals (and even scientific papers in some areas like biology).

On a Macbook Pro from 2015, entering a simple Google Sheets documents and have the page fully loaded and ready to work takes me ~8 seconds on Chromium, but ~17 seconds on Firefox. It's really a huge diference.

Still, I'm trying to use Firefox more and more because of privacy considerations, but Mozilla really should up their game and have more focus in their roadmap.

What about the colours?

Perhaps someone knows some project that has filled that gap.

This is PRIMEVAL forest. You in Poland DON'T have more protected areas than most of other EU countries already, you just happen to have a small one (relative to other EU countries) that has the special status of being primeval and you still think it's ok to destroy it for some quick profit while the rest of EU is trying to rebuild their own forest (although unfortunately it just can't be primeval again).

While AMD doesn't create something like cuDNN to go along with their cards, no real work will start being done in porting most important DL libraries to AMD cards. And even in that case, it will be a lost generation for AMD, only in the 2nd generation where AMD actually offers a real alternative in DL to NVIDIA, you will start to see some real progress being done with it.

I wonder how that comment would work on any other discussion on HN. You know, those ones where you are actually supposed to be rational instead of just going around with virtue signalling.

It is quite telling of the general lack of coherence about social matters in HN when in all cases of supposed sexual harassment against woman, there is a PC crowd in HN that just goes around spreading and enforcing (trough voting) the moto of "guilty until proven innocent", even in cases obviously so blatantly manipulated for political reasons as this.

All they did was use sexual assault charges in order to force him into political asylum.

This is now actually disproved. Made me doubt quite a bit about if the rest of the article (and his book) is actually based on any evidence or just the author's personal views.

What are the diferences between this product and Xamarin for MacOS (something that already existed)?

The code doesn't seem protected by intellectual property but it's a trade secret. Just like Mona Lisa was intellectual property of Leonardo, but the way he created the different paint colours was his trade secret.

A trade secret don't necessarily have to be protected by law, the moment it gets out, then people are free to use it as they see fit. That's what I think about this source code: it got out somehow (even if the way it got out was illegal or not), but the moment it comes to public it becomes general knowledge.

The phone will always be like a tiny window to the world, while the camera is more of an extension of my eye. Might be a personal take, but for me it makes a lot of diference and it shows in my photos.

1 - Why do Germany and Netherlands even store their gold in the USA?

2 - Why shall the USA/FED have any saying about Germany wanting their property back anyway? It's like me having to negotiate with my bank weather I can or not withdrawal my money from there.

Please stop this nonsense of trying to pretend it's always somebody else's fault other than the majority of the Turks. They choose to transform their country in the mess it became.

If the majority of Turks are brainwashed enough to support a dictator, mass incarceration and ties of their government to terrorist organisations in order to appease their xenophoby towards the Kurdish minority, then make sure it's their problem and not the EU.

The only thing EU must do is make sure it doesn't blow up their way. When (not if) Turkey starts their civil war, just make sure you don't allow them in the EU after they willingly destroyed their own country after decades of EU trying to help them solve their internal problems by increasing democratic institutions there (and pouring a lot of money), but they very stubbornly resisting it and actually going the opposite way.

The world must stop looking at EU like they are the fireman of the world and at fault for all the arsonists the population keeps electing in Africa, the Middle East and even some parts of Eastern Europe.
