Japanese has a word for green now 緑 (midori). Traffic lights use the word for blue for historical reasons


I also live in Suginami! There's always a lot of kids running around together, especially after school, but that feels quite normal for anywhere in Japan, no?


I can’t speak to the rest of Japan, but in Tokyo, yes.

Suginami in particular seems to be very kid focused in terms of infrastructure development efforts. 6 years ago the was a wild sprouting of daycare facilities everywhere around, and these days new parks pop up everywhere. They were going to close the nearby jidoukan, and the new major seems to have reversed all of that. Japan is absolutely making an effort to reverse population decline xD


Enforce stacked PRs, reject PRs over 500-1k LoC (I'd argue even lower, but it's a hard sell)


Did a coal miner write this comment?


Worse, an environmentalist.


Miner vs. straw man, who wins? :o)


I was very pissed off to find that my Youtube Premium didn't work when I visited Armenia. I was still paying for it, but ads played and I couldn't listen to videos in the background. WTF?


There's so much obvious evidence of manipulation on Wikipedia, it's insane that it doesn't come under more scrutiny. It's even worse on non-English Wikipedias


reputation scoring for authors plus various voting and scoring metrics for the articles themselves but perhaps since I personaly never have looked at a persons wiki, what I see is generaly very well cross referenced and much of it leads off into PHD dissertation nitty gritty ,rabbit warrens of hard science, where there is no need to put up "vandals will be prosecuted" signs so perhapps, nonhistorical persons should be shuttled off to, :), wikibook

EDIT: Any HN mods/devs reading this -- there seems to be a display bug for comment creation time? On edit it says 20hrs (accurate), whereas viewing the comments otherwise shows that it was posted an hour ago. Not sure what's going on


There's something called a second-chance queue for overlooked submissions https://news.ycombinator.com/pool (listed on https://news.ycombinator.com/lists)

Some older users (I think YC alumni) can nominate articles and moderators give them a boost. The timestamp doesn't change, I've seen 2 day old articles appearing. It's a bit confusing, I think it was hacked in years ago but works good enough.


That's my site! I did it for quite a few photosets, like this one https://photos.paulstamatiou.com/africa/southern-serengeti-t...

Surprised it still mostly works fine many years later


I'm not able to find the post that OP refers to about how you animated the SVGs. Maybe you could share the link? Thanks!


thanks for the great work :)


daaaamn!

That's the one :) Thank you so much for finding it!


I also see it as posted an hour ago, and see the original thread post as 2 hours ago.

Odd.


Is there anything out there that's even close to that OG GPT-3? It was the closest experience I've ever had to magic, and I miss it dearly


Really? I feel exactly the opposite, that as a species we are extremely primitive in that regard. We underinvest into social "technology." Systems of collaboration and alignment aren't widespread, and research into it isn't taken seriously

Don't get me wrong, what we have is working (so far? Political happenings around the world don't inspire confidence)


I believe people (who are not deemed guilty of murder or something and imprisoned for life) have the right to start over, and so people have the right to lie. Having a lifelong number assigned to you is evil. This isn't solving any problems. I'm sorry you had bad roommates, but stop.


The second chance here is the ability to gain feedback on a bad action and improve it. There is always room for and chances to improve ones self. I would never create a system that placed a negative on someone's entire life. And even those deemed guilty or imprisoned should have a strike at second chances.


>I would never create a system that placed a negative on someone's entire life.

Great, then here's an opportunity for you to improve: I need you to understand that any social system designed by humans will be flawed and miss a bunch of edge cases. Your intentions do not matter. Doing this will fuck up somebody's life.


I hear your concerns and absolutely understand them, however I think you're missing the point that this isn't about surveillance or control - it's helping people make more informed choices about who they interact with, while giving everyone clear ways to demonstrate their trustworthiness. Of course there will be edge cases the same way there are edge cases with a hammer. Being community driven means its up to the community as a whole to keep the system legit, improve the community, and improve the system(and it's edge cases) as a whole
