That's what you took from that? They gave an example of using SQL to do anomaly detection that happened to use httpd logs as an example.

The strategies within could be applied to virtually any time-series data.

fyi on swoole, this book [1] just came out (I cannot comment on the quality, haven't read yet) which hopefully will help bridge the English documentation gap. I've been using swoole for a couple of years and google-translating my way through the Chinese wiki and git issues/comments/etc.

Swoole (module) is extremely performant in anything networking, including as a websocket server. There are other php-only options (amphp/websocket-server, ratchetphp/Ratchet) but if performance is your need, stick with swoole.

I'm not talking about the quantity, I'm talking about a list of who upvoted and downvoted a specific comment/post.

Also what you've described happens anyway. The fact that a number isn't displayed doesn't really matter when comments are ultimately ordered by score. When someone writes a comment that doesn't adhere to the current groupthink, they get downvoted. When people are downvoted too much they delete their comments, stop commenting, or through pavlovian reinforcement change their opinions until they get positive points.

It would be good to get a little more awareness into this process.

Make upvotes and downvotes public, and do something to reduce the constant flood of throwaway accounts who do nothing more than constant trolling on contentious topics.

I'm glad Marco finally stepped up to set the HN groupthink tone because you guys have been salivating to defend Apple the past month in every goddamn thread about Epic Games.

That's interesting since Craigslist has operated a rideshare marketplace for 20+ years and runs at an 80% profit margin. They've also never ran afoul of contractor vs. employee scrutiny.

Could it be that perhaps Uber and Lyft are simply poorly ran organizations who only excel at burning VC money?

In an actual court of law (rather than court of public opinion) there is no way Epic will win especially since Google took the same stance.

Apple is being investigated by numerous governments around the world [1][2] for antitrust regarding their app store, and just lost an antitrust case in Russia [3]. Epic Games simply adds a big name to the list.

Sorry, this doesn't work for the many people who simply aren't equipped to WFH and are learning to work remotely. They lack the dedicated workspace at home, they have children/family/roommates who don't respect the "im at work" mentality, or they simply need a mid-afternoon nap, and as a result they have frequent and often lengthy periods of not working.

Would be fair to the employer if those people still adhere to a strict 9-5 schedule despite the lowered productivity? I think most reasonable people simply adapt and that's why we have articles like this pointing out longer and different work hours. It's not unreasonable at all.

Discussion about Trump or US politics in general

What HN do you visit? Any time anything remotely touching politics shows up here it gets immediately flagged, removed from the front page, and the level-headed comments you speak of get downvoted into oblivion.

Yeah, imagine a world where each employee had a team of highly trained specialists ensuring they had absolutely everything they need to do their job, and if they became sick at 2am on a Saturday, multiple people get woken up to take care of them. When the CEO parades investors around on the assembly floor, those employees are shined up, their capabilities are demonstrated, and they are showcased as the pinnacle of why their company is the best.

Low level employees would be lucky to be treated like robots.

it pays out 100k in salary.

Then the maximum loan you would have qualified for would have been $20,833 and you'd be able to get about 80% (plus applicable utility/rent/mortgages up to potentially 100%) forgiven.

So, $16-21k of free money with currently unclear tax implications. Nothing to sneeze at but it's nothing insane either.

It's not the mask, it's the hassle of going to the grocery store and locating the items and waiting in line and dealing with those temperamental self-checkouts.

Today though it's amazing. I put together a grocery order at my convenience and place and pay via the app, and it just magically shows up at my door within a convenient time-frame. I don't have to answer the door, I don't have to talk to anyone, I don't have to sign a receipt. It just shows up.
