Is actually very easy to solve. When someone wants to run an ad on your ad network. The vetting process should be more than "how much money you got?" If not for their own sakes anyway.

Ad block needs to continue to run rampant over this "internet economy" because advertisers need to come to terms with the fact that now a days users get to choose what they see and how they see it. Maybe one day it will occur to someone in the industry that aggressively hostile ads are ruining their industry rather than being a staple of it.

If they don't... Then I don't mind seeing that industry die.
Thankfully whitelists are a thing.
At least on the baseband front there's OsmocomBB, what they lack iirc is hardware.
What does that matter? All I personally want is a good and open phone, and right now I've got that, and it looks like we'll have even more alternatives in the future. Just giving a heads-up to other hackers...
Maybe keep a list of short <30 minute tasks? It's kind of impossible to work deeply on a subject when you know you're going to context switch 30 minutes later. The only way to get something done in that time frame seems to just do something that you can finish in that time frame.
My take on it is to not bother with the older GSM and CDMA but to instead focus on LTE. Although GSM will probably be around globally for a while, it is on the wane as is CDMA. There is a lot of interesting open work going on for LTE including LTE on unlicensed bands.

Thanks… I actually got the idea to start using proportional typefaces from a comment that you made.

Another thing that I tried was to extract each font variant into a separate file, and then to force VS to use those explicitly for different code element types, but that didn't work.

Well, it is one of the largest economies in the world, and it is doing poorly in large part because of a shrinking population. But you are right that the focus on Japanese sex seems a bit excessive. My theory is that it's related to western fetishization of the country, but I don't have proof.
do you arrest a bank robber for double parking?
there is a fundamental difference in my eyes between prosecuting speech and prosecuting damage. people lie incessantly every single day, not all of those lies are criminally libelous, but when they are, the issue at hand is the resulting material damage. with child pornography this is even more straightforward. the creation of cp is inherently damaging it is also both the evidence and admission of a crime as would be the conspiracy to finance and distribute said material.
the problem with prosecuting the speech itself w/ cp is that there is simply too great of a grey area when it comes to material and intent and too little actual demonstrable benefit to society at large. as a rule, i tend to believe 'i know it when i see it' is among the worst possible legal arguments to be given institutional credence.
Yes, with all the political turmoil going on right now the title evokes a different connotation.
I never found the right solution (ChartMogul has issues with when they recognize revenue. It's based on payment instead of the period the invoice/subscription is for). Anyone have any tips to share about what they use?
I've been hearing that for months. If coronavirus had a doubling time of 7 days we should be well over 1,000,000,000,000,000 cases by now.

And you or nobody else knows what the natural end would be for this virus.

A fast spreading variant could overall reduce deaths over the next 5 years.
I guess he means the counting late night in Fulton(?), Atlanta without observers?

Right, but again the actual numbers are in the dozens, nowhere near tens of thousands. So what you're saying is completely irrelevant.
Thanks a ton! I've started my repo on github. I definitely want to add more projects to it.

Honestly, the networking thing will likely be the hardest part for me, I think.

29th or 30th is my vote; however, I'm busy at night, so my vote would be for an afternoon meetup on either day. If that's not an option, I suppose y'all can consider this an out-of-town vote for Rahm.
Interesting response.

Also: doesn't Blizzard make metric crap-tons of money on PC games? Isn't that a pretty powerful counterargument to "AO games can't make money on the PC"?
You spend 33% of your food budget just for coffee? Have you thought about doing something about your caffeine addiction?
I've read a number of discussions about python editors on stackoverflow and some random blog posts, and netbeans seems to invariably be missing from the discussion. Why is that? I've been using it for the past couple of months and I definitely like it better than Eclipse+PyDev. Am I missing something obvious that's missing relative to these alternatives?
I save money on coffee by not buying it. ;-) Instead, I found Jet Alert 200mg caffeine tablets. They're about $3.70 for 90 tablets. Each tablet is equivalent to two cups of coffee, which really means one cup of coffee, the way we tend to serve it. I usually take one around 10am, and another around 3pm.

The good: no, uh, 'intestinal distress', whiter teeth, better breath, no buzzy feeling like I get with coffee, and I feel like I'm alert for longer and more consistently. Also, I generally feel mellower than when I'm drinking coffee, and I have no explanation as to why.

The bad: I still crave the taste and ritual of coffee once in awhile. I have one or two cups per week, skipping the caffeine pill, of course.
He follows (old) USDA dietary recommendations, which stipulate no saturated fat, and 60% carbs. That is really, really bad. The ultimate reference is "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes - it is meticulously researched and referenced, and is likely 40 years more up-to-date than your nutrition or medical professional.
Beagleboard is a great idea and it's nice to see OS support is out there for it. Having Windows 8 available in an ARM flavor is only going to make things better. I can think of 1001... uhh, well, a FEW projects I could make with one of those.
1,900 were hired in Seattle alone. I saw that recently on /r/Seattle. Considering their orders are reported to be 40% year over year, 15k - 3k IT staff = 12k x 1.4 ^ 5 is 65k. They only have half that staff total so their efficiency and scaling improvements in distribution means they have to higher less people year over year for warehouse staff.

This is all uninformed speculation. The only public number I've seen is 1,900 hired in Seattle over a 3 month period. That means a lot more than 2k were probably hired for development, which means that Amazon is definitely up to something.
Your preference in food has pretty much nothing to do with the fact that our ancestors most certainly hunted food.

Hell, even chimps hunt.
Human contact is not exactly one of Google's strengths in the first place though. :)
No, that was Stratolaunch.
What's done for cooling/heating? Does this require a pretty temperate environment, or is it relatively well sealed?

Vehicles leak like sieves unless you seal them up yourself, which could be a catastrophically bad idea if exhaust starts to find its way into the vehicle while it is running.

Aside from opening windows or bundling up and shivering, your cooling/heating options are either typical house HVAC appliances, or extending the functionality of the onboard heating and cooling and hoping that you bought a diesel, which are much more tolerant than gasoline engines of idling all day. Which brings me back to the risk of exhaust gasses when the passenger compartment is mostly sealed.

For electrical power to run appliance-type HVAC, you could use a small generator.

If you mean 200f, yes. The traditional way is to sterilize them with near/boiling water in situ, to preserve foods without trapping pathologens.

Just finished my Master's in Computer Science and Engineering, in the context of which I created a Proof of Concept for Live Reverse Debugging in LLDB (https://github.com/vangelists/llvm-project).

I am interested in opportunities in compilers, debuggers, managed runtimes or other interesting C++ projects, although I am willing to explore new applications and languages (especially Swift and Rust).
that comment looks perfectly reasonable to me
Apparently they just let their domain expire

It's prudent to assume that every ISP surveils your naive traffic, so native IPv4 service isn't good for much anyway. A VPN (whether consumer or self-hosted VPS) will add a mere $5/mo to the cost. Providing the physical layer is what's important.
I appreciate his thoroughness, it just makes it hard to read when the reader doesn't actually care about seeing every single data point. I would prefer he give an "abstract" at the top and then go into all the details below.
It's nice, but I wish they showed a scale.

> google simply steal the most valuable bit, the headline and the summary

People are rightfully pointing out that nobody forces you to put any of that on Google.

But I also want to point out that if the headline and snippet summary are the most valuable part of an article you write, then you're not providing much value. Copyright law was never intended to protect summaries of what your work is about.

At a basic level, facts are not copyrightable. To argue that saying the title of a news article is "stealing" is like arguing that multiple papers shouldn't be able to cover the same topics. It's like arguing that I shouldn't be able to tell my friend about current events because a newspaper broke the story first. If people can look at multiple sources/titles and get a summary without clicking then tough luck, the thing they are intuiting is not the thing that was copyrighted. News orgs never owned copyright over the individual factual parts of their stories.

If people genuinely believe that IP laws should cover facts about the world, that a reporter should have the exclusive right to talk about an event just because they arrived on the scene first -- I just can't take that argument seriously. If that's what people think, then our social education efforts about copyright have just gone off the rails.

The news is not copyrightable. Your writeup of the news, the specific language that you use, is. Trying to change that would be a disaster for everyone, it would be declaring a war on information itself just so that some entrenched news orgs can make a quick buck.
> Either way, none of this inspires confidence that they have my interests in mind.

Bingo. This is the underlying issue. And indeed this dual opt out is probably intentionally confusing - and I'm never sure either whether 'refuse all' refuses also the partners.
Yup - exactly what I just said. Kaz is VERY free compared to the US.

Put it this way - at the border between Kaz and Uzbek, we...

Stole the border guard's hat.

Wore it.

In front of him.

Stole his gun.

Wore it.

In front of him.

Then all sat around together laughing and joking eating pot noodles.

Had we done the same in the US, I would not be writing this, as I would likely have been shot dead on the spot.
As someone whose family was interned in camps not long ago, I appreciate you sharing this. We should not forget what atrocities we are capable of.
You can buy gold on the open market and use it as you wish. I think the important uses for gold can use small amounts, like gold plating electrical connections. There's no use for bulk gold that justifies the cost.
The Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, which has Ubuntu preinstalled, is as close to "Ubuntu Air" as it gets. Don't like it?
I'm sure it depends where you live, but probably not. Maybe this is of interest: http://www.photoblocker.com/photoshield-cover.html
Oh yes, now everything mobile will look like Craigslist. Gee, what a step forward for everyone!
Your title seems to be missing the name of the actual language/technology.
my bad. thanks.
I was assuming a feature like that should activate by holding on the text, though.
For god's sake please do it in nginx or apache assuming you have one of those in front of rack.
I don't understand how your conclusion relates to the data. Can you explain?
You're welcome. I think it was reported but I'm not sure much note was made of it then on this forum.

It is quite interesting ... perhaps they made the satellite too redundant! I.e. the stabilization and service (vs. control) radio systems are working just fine but they can't talk to it or what they're trying to talk to got zapped. If this is at all likely to happen again (probably not), future satellites ought to have a deadman system to turn off the service radio system if they haven't been in contact with home for too long.
Why can't ads be both a service and a way of making money?
I get tonnes done with my evil tools.
It's not an unusual British accent, though it's not very common in people of my generation. It sounded like a pretty standard southern/upper-middle class/older generation accent.

I also thought she was a bit aggressive in her questioning, but on the other hand politeness isn't the most important trait for reporters.
You can change everything on the web if you only give service operators enough time to adjust their sites.
If the pay is not high enough for your needs, you shouldn't bother looking at startups, or at least you shouldn't be looking at pre-series-A startups. Everybody has their own motivations for why they choose to work somewhere, and money/compensation isn't always the top consideration. At early-stage startups where money is tight, salary will usually be difficult to negotiate too much, but equity can be negotiated more easily.
I never really bothered with it in my youth. Now I'm nudging 50, there's many a bike achieved with red bull & ibuprofen.

i dont mind the taste, but the the smell is pungent and it always repeats on me something awful.
What you are describing is not a fanatic. You are describing someone adhering to the basic tenants of their philosophy. A vegan fanatic would refuse to use cash in Australia because it contains tallow, an animal product used as a slipping agent in banknotes.
Encrypting all sensitive information that gets stored with a public key received from server. That saves bandwidth compared to cookies, any rouge plugins/javascript won't be able to decrypt the data. (and the client too won't be able to, kinda a bummer). The server will be able to decrypt it obviously since it should have the corresponding private key.
Off-topic but I love that the timestamp on that says "1 decade ago"
People joke like "ha-ha, let it burn!" but it's the ordinary folks and their creations that anthropologists desire most. Ancient graffiti in Rome tells you more about ancient Rome than privileged writings of the era.

Yahoo Answers matters more to culture than any New York Times trend piece.
More difficult to link to as well. Obviously not impossible if you can find it on the Internet Archive, but not everybody thinks to look there and sometimes you just have to get lucky.
Having done both, I think Rails has a ton of baggage around ActiveSupport and ActiveRecord that are full of gotchas. Ecto prevents N+1 queries by default, which I think is clearly better. I also think that the lack of lifecycle hooks in Ecto is a better decision than the pile of foot guns in ActiveRecord hooks.

I would also argue that Plug is a large improvement over Rack, and the idea of explicitly passing a single context map all the way through the request is just a better way to build http responses. I also think that the Fallback controller is obviously a better way to handle common errors.

Anything related to web sockets will be leagues better in Elixir, because the BEAM is built to do a thing like that.

SSR html as a compiled linked list is a better idea than runtime string interpolation.

Sure, Rails has libraries for everything, but some of the core parts just aren't a nice. So if you don't need all of that breadth of ecosystem then Phoenix is a better choice IMHO having worked professionally with both for a number of years.
There are every kind of vegan. No broad generalities cover everybody. That's how.
Have anything to back that up? I find it very hard to believe. Even the boomers I know don't ever use it. Is Yahoo popular in some other country?
> Art takes time and thought

No. _Your_ art takes time and thought. Others can and do work differently.

One of my favorite makers of music is a guy with an extremely customized sampler and effects interface plus one microphone. He makes sounds with his mouth and then loops/modifies/distorts those sounds into spontaneous real-time electronic music on the fly. With just the right amount of swearing and surreal comedy thrown in to make it interesting. No pre-prepared sequences or samples at all. He has performed to sold-out gigs, clubs, and festivals and isn't a household name but has a decent following. It's not everyone's cup of tea I'm sure, but anyone who says it's not "art" would be just plain condescending not to mention wrong.

> These constraints will just force folks to release half baked works.

The whole point is to force folks to release half-baked works, because half-baked is better than not baked at all.
In what way it defeats the purpose of using a pepper?
I wonder if you created a page on FB for GreatFire and promoted it what would FB do? I imagine they are too big to be successfully DDOS'd but I would think they could kiss China goodbye forever. So I imagine they would simply ban it.

I don't think that a human brain, isolated and somehow kept alive, would be able to pass the Turing test. Especially not if it was grown in a tank or something. I might be wrong, of course. The story of Helen Keller seem to imply that very little stimuli is needed to become self-aware and be able to communicate in a meaningful way -- but who can say how important it is to be able to relate, on some fundamental level -- in order to share enough to pass a Turing test?
I guess I meant a raspberrypi 2. :)

The bigger problem with Homebrew IMO is that it does not follow the proper UNIX way to install packages - works for a single-user setup, but not for a multi-user one.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit

"A rootkit is a stealthy type of software, typically malicious, designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection and enable continued privileged access to a computer"

...continued privileged access. In the *nix world, this is understood to mean root.
thanks! Fixed it.
I suspect it's because people don't like entering passwords and generally only have one or two for the entire Internet, so forcing them to enter the same one again every so often (or, worse, forcing them to enter a different one!) would not make good business sense.
I am of the same demo. I agree it is ugly, but ugly in a good way.
I know a lot of people use spreadsheets, but I figure why not take it to the next level? So I'm starting to use a SQLite database with a simple bash CLI front-end for prompting new entries, generating reports, and simplifying some SQL queries. Anytime I find myself dropping down to raw SQL I try to wrap it behind a simple command for the next time.

I want to start adding some REST calls, e.g. to get the current spot price of gold, so I can compare it to my original buy prices.

Good luck with the app, it looks really sleek. And I like how you included a question in your Show HN title to lure me in. :)
Like me, you probably live in the vast majority of the Midwest that is as flat as a pancake. I would argue in that scenario 4x4 is not very important: if there's no incline, two wheel drive will work in almost any weather situation.

(sure, on strictly theoretical grounds, having 4 wheel drive, or 10 wheel drive or 1000 wheel drive, if there are no downsides, would always be preferable)
