I hope it's clear that this is targeted to nontraditional Facebook advertisers. Ones that wouldn't advertise at $1 per click, maybe even at $0.10 a click because they aren't running highly targeted ecommerce with $20+ conversions or other usual PPC campaigns. Even sites which actually monetize via AdSense!

Yes, buying ads for a site that runs ads can make money -- if you are converting users from untargetable mystery people to users who indicate their interest in subjects where traditional advertisers are bidding for keywords. Facebook has a lot of potential for this and it's great to see a step-by-step recounting of experience with this method.
Just like you can have a store on the public street but ban certain people from visiting it, yes.
The article is good, bu I find the title a little bit misleading. I expected to read about what types of ideas are dominating the market right now.
Surely it remains easier to develop with VB6 than with Javascript. I am talking mainly from the IDE perspective.

One of the core technologies behind VB6 (COM) remains widely used in Microsoft Windows today.
They have an Android app.
Sousveillance wins again.
Some people (myself included) prefer a more radical approach: Rather than fixing the inteface JavaScript presents ot the programmer, we replace JavaScript (or, actually, all three of HTML, CSS and JavaScript) with a different language that is actually designed not to be crap. For example: http://elm-lang.org/
That sounds way more comprehensive than most "auditing" I've seen in software. Usually it's timestamped activity logs with a couple of reports and maybe some filtering. Very basic.
Are you talking about the main slider images? It could be GIMP, I'll have to find a designer.
How do you check for explosives?

There are AQAP designs that involve zero metallic parts, and they've been attempted twice.

In both instances the bombs actually made it on the plane and the attacks were only prevented by other means. That's one of the reasons TSA is trying to shift to machines that detect explosive chemical residue directly instead of just magnetometers, but that necessarily brings with it false positives.

I certainly think false positives can and should be handled better than what happened to OP, but you have provided no insight on how to check for guns and explosives here.
Is there really a gold rush going on? From everything I see, the startup market is maturing, not emerging.
> nobody uses the construct "xx hundred" for numbers above 9.

I use it all the time. What's easier to say, "one thousand two hundred" or "twelve hundred"?
It's an artificial distinction. If you are wealthy, you have access to opportunities with good odds, call it trading and tell everyone about it so they know you are a sophisticated and wise investor.

If you are poor, you have few good options and generally wouldn't brag about your gambling. If you do, you are labelled irresponsible.
Probably informal usage of insane. i.e. astonishingly good or impressive; amazing. "those burritos are insane with the lime sauce"
Wait, I'm confused, are you calling Ted Chiang a singularity writer? I can't think of many of his stories that comfortably sit in that category.
That is true, but I also believe there are some lower level "nice to haves" they enable on their routers to make sure Bonjour/mDNS works properly for airplay. If not intentionally, I do know that some routers (Actiontec / FiOS comes to mind) that have particular difficulty with providing reliable Airplay connections.

DCP is the format in which movies are distributed to theaters, usually on hard drives but sometimes over satellite or wired networks.
Doesn't this go against Netflix's Terms of Use (https://www.netflix.com/TermsOfUse) by scraping for data, if you're not relying on the now shut down public API?
Plex works well with Chromecast to play your own media.
I'm sure it's something that will be worked out in time. Perhaps the manufacturers themselves will be more interested in rolling out tracking technology in new aircraft versus airlines retrofitting existing planes.

But it's not an industry that responds quickly due to media hysteria surrounding rare and isolated incidents, that's for sure.
>　that there seems to be an infinite number of ways to split some kinds of systems

Indeed、you can even go to the electron level to describe what's happening in the circuitry and how it interacts with the silicon to propagate signals... it's never ending.
As someone that spent years working 2 - 8 hours a week on their real job while getting top performance reviews, here's my slightly unethical tips.

- Choose a megacorp where you're far away from the value being created. Analytics at a e-commerce site? No. IT at an oil giant? Yes.

- Cherry pick what you work on, image is everything. Focus only on project that make you look good and (ideally) others don't understand. Work on them a couple hours a week and make it seem like you spent all week on them.

- When interviewing make sure your manager doesn't have a technical background in what you're going to be doing.

- Build relationships. This one is critical. Just genuinely try to be helpful when others are in a rut. Get to know your boss on a personal level.

You'd be shocked how achievable this is at a megacorp. Personally I used the time to launch a variety of businesses, but be warned choosing this path can be a double edged sword. Sometime's it's the amazing but other times you can slide into a funk when you feel like your life isn't going anywhere.
Agreed. Monero or ZCash would have gotten the job done, but it wouldn’t have enriched the founders.

Pre-mined altcoin scams have been around so long that everyone in the crypto world knows to avoid them. Building up a dedicated following of people using an encrypted messenger app was a genius way of submarining a pre-mined crypto scam into an unsuspecting userbase.

I suspect a lot of us are going back to all of the people we recommended Signal to and revising our recommendations to avoid the cryptocurrency portion of the app.
Arguably beyond a certain size and other than some basic rules around things like good behaviour and ethics, I'm not sure you can have a one-size-fits-all for a company (or any other) culture.
Well, yes, unless you count installing IntelliJ as prior setup:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/debugging-javascript-in-...

It'd be easier to do it with the Chrome debugger though. I sometimes 'fix' websites that have annoying popups or similar with the dev tools.

With complex apps you have the problem that the owners don't want you modifying them, so they're minified and have other techniques applied that debuggers don't like. But that's not something a Lisp machine would have fixed. You can obfuscate any program.

Also, debuggers aren't the same thing as code editors so of course, you'll lose your changes when the page reloads. Making them persistent means throwing together a browser extension.

Chrome is not like IntelliJ though, because Chrome is a compiled C++ app. It's not written in JavaScript and it isn't a reflective environment like IntelliJ is. With IntelliJ you actually can do things like just open up an editor tab and invoke arbitrary internal functionality. With Chrome, not so much.

> But Signal needs to keep core feature parity to remain competitive with WhatsApp, Telegram etc. And that includes a payment mechanism.

It's still not possible to italicize text using any of their clients. The desktop app feels rough compared to Telegram's -- try reducing the size of the messages preview column. Which group of users was actively requesting MobileCoin support?
I worked at a startup for over a year. You would think the hours would be crazy but it was the opposite. This was a semiconductor company and I am in physical design.

The list price of our tools cost over $1 million per license. We had a special deal for the first year for extremely cheap licenses. We taped out our chip and then the management spent the next year trying to get investment and/or sell the company.

During that time other people were developing improvements but I had no licenses to do anything. I attended 2 meetings a week. We were already working remote 60% of the time. I basically did a lot of hiking, reading, and projects at home.

This lasted over a year until I lost faith in the company and found another job. There are people still there 2 years later including two who do very little.
Neither Telegram nor Whatsapp have crypto support. Both of them have very limited payments support, that doesn't use crypto at all.
I don't think it's satire.

You're suggesting an SSG, Git, Netlify, and shell scripts. Is this really easier than HTML files on a server? I can do everything with HTML files, and if I need templating I can just use PHP.
>Is there a reason everyone can't agree on a standard?
a) Google: not-invented-here-syndrome

To be fair, I'm not aware of any standard that existed when Google first released Google Talk video/voice. It is pretty strongly standards-based, though, and uses appropriate extension points in standard protocols (Jingle on XMPP).
ProFTPd has a sftp module that works very well.

Sadly ProFTPd also has a very bad security track-record, don't use it for a public ftp.
That's part of the one I figured. Good to know.
Amazing. These look like fantastic cities.
If authorized by a judge then yes.
I actually like this design because it's not the same old boring style of nearly every other vehicle these days, but I've always been pretty nonconformist.

What really stood out to me is the truck bed and the way the ramp pulls (or folds?) out. It actually seems very sensible and well designed, despite looking like it's trying too hard to be different.
Cool! Quick back-of-the-napkin indicates that the RTT for LEO satellites (at the upper bound) would be only ~4.7% of the RTT for GEO satellites. I'm sure there's much more to the story that I'm missing, but an LEO satellite should have a latency of around 11.75ms. In 2012, average US latency to Google was ~50-60ms [1]. Would bandwidth be the limiting factor?

You're misreading the chart, take another look. The moon is 10x further.
> have no need for that capacity

If I'm forking out 40K+ on a car I'm going to make sure it's at least useful for 2-3 vacations per year with the kids. That currently requires about 900L of boot space (stroller, 3 big duffels, a few boxes with supplies, toys, etc)
I see that the license prohibits rewriting or copying the scripts into other software. Is there a GUI image editor that works by running modular CL scripts (such as these) on an image in a simple UX window? I imagine that would not be against this license.
This reminds me. Google has the (rather great) Google Moderator tool - so why aren't they using it on a site where Android fans can ask Google properly for features? Using that "issues" list for features is such a pain.

Right now if the community wants a new certain feature or they really hate one of the already implemented features, it has to make a big fuss about it on r/Android, an unofficial feedback channel.
I've dropped ghostery about 3 years ago because, even though it was low on memory, it was extremely CPU hungry, making my (then a little old, but by no mean underpowered) laptop take 3-4 seconds of 100% CPU for almost every page.

I haven't tried it again since.
FindBugs [1] is a great code analysis tool for Java. It's free, open source, and supports plugins for writing your own checks. The FindBugs site reports an interesting story from a Google test day:

"Google held a global "fixit" day using UMD's FindBugs static analysis tool for finding coding mistakes in Java software. More than 700 engineers ran FindBugs from dozens of offices.

Engineers have already submitted changes that made more than 1,100 of the 3,800 issues go away. Engineers filed more than 1,700 bug reports, of which 600 have already been marked as fixed. Work continues on addressing the issues raised by the fixit, and on supporting the integration of FindBugs into the software development process at Google."

With no wings is it really a spaceplane? It looks like a capsule...
Paint Shop Pro, anyone?
Thanks for the heads up, this is a first for this issue. Not sure there is much we can do about it at this point. Hopefully, it won't be the first thing people's minds jump to.
On the other hand, project zero publishes kiddies-ready exploits for their vulnerabilities, which is a very questionable practice for vulnerabilities which are still in the wild. Even if patches were available, it would be far better to wait for most devices to be patched before releasing a full exploit. They did this with iOS and now with Windows. We are now waiting for such useful ready-to-use exploits for major Android versions as well.
I'm not saying that there isn't any evidence our universe exists. That would be silly. I'm saying there is no evidence that our universe is alone and it would be incredibly surprising if it was. I don't know why "number of universes = 1" should be a default hypothesis.
Of which the next version is nearly coming out! (see: https://github.com/sindresorhus/chalk/issues/44 ).

Shameless plug (co-author here), but if you have any questions about it: feel free to ask.

> It is important to note that for a would-be attacker to potentially exploit a system, they would first need to have valid logon credentials and be able to log on locally to a targeted machine.

Are Microsoft downplaying or is this genuinely quite minor? The article discusses a disgruntled employee and since all their money comes from Enterprise presumably disgruntled employee can cause major damage is a pretty huge problem?
My first thought on this was "wow, that name couldn't clash any more with the ethos of ind.ie". I would hope they'd think about changing it, as it's really a bit insensitive at the least.
No, Apple's .pkg files are proprietary to Apple's Installer.app. They are XAR archives containing metadata generated by the package creation GUI.
What about cash for equity and then use the cash to pay for hosting?
I direct you to the nutjob123 conversation tree on this very topic, starting here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1901128
I don't think the junk mail that takes up the majority of your inbox costs the price of a stamp to send. Surely bulk mail like that is much, much cheaper.
Especially if the primary need is image hosting. S3's 14 cents/gigabyte isn't cheap enough?
I found this useful. At least, I can give it a try for some time.
People arguing that there wouldn't have been a collapse reminds me of people who think the Y2K problem was a myth created by the software industry to drum up some jobs.
Step 2 would be to ask why Silverlight is so important to them.
I'm not exactly sure what the underlying issue is on android devices, but at least for linux desktops, the problem is netflix uses silverlight which does have support for DRM, whereas the linux version moonlight does not. It could be a similar issue for flash on android devices, although that is just speculation on my part. All I know for sure is that I'm anxiously waiting netflix on both linux and android. I currently use a windows VM to watch netflix from my computer. On a similar note, one of the most appealing things to me about the ipad is that it does have netflix support. I would love to see it supported on android tablets.
Seems to me like you should quit, and devote all of your time to growing your freelance business. It might be a bit tight financially for a while, but things should get better if you devote enough time.
I'm 20, and I get the Guardian and the Financial Times (in the UK) every day. I don't actually subscribe to them, rather buy them from the shop each day, but that's just because my job takes me away from home regularly (in 2009 I spent 170/365 days at various events around the world) so subscribing would just be a waste for me.

I do have subscriptions to two weekly magazines (on news), a biweekly magazine (satirical/news) and four monthly magazines (tech & lifestyle).

An interesting note on the subject of magazines: PricewaterhouseCoopers released their "Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2010-2014" report a few days ago, and their view on magazine sales is:

"Total global spending on consumer magazines fell by 10.6 percent in 2009. We project an additional 2.7 per cent decrease in 2010, a flat market in 2011, and modest growth during 2012-14. As a result, spending will total $74 billion in 2014, up 0.7 percent compounded annually from $71.5 billion in 2009."
Presumably a lot of things give the exact same benefits. The OP's post sounds like a generic description of "I'm healthier". He said he cut out sugar; he didn't say he exercised more. I'm guessing that's why he thinks the cause was the sugar.
Early PHP lack of any design is the same of V.
(2019) - This is the first in a series of three articles from the end of 2019
I think this is fulfilling a slightly different niche - further down in the README it talks specifically about opening a separate connection to the host and recording the session for audit purposes.

Which offers a little more than a simple SSH bastion would, unless there are features like this in OpenSSH I'm not aware of.
I got in 'trouble' a few times by giving alpha copies of a product in development to the sales engineers and when the customer saw particular new features wanted them and not any version without it. The trouble was caused when these events happened around release dates which back in the day of golden-mastered shrink-wrap software was a big deal to get right. Unfortunately as soon as the golden-master was declared, I and other devs had the capacity and creativity to do something truly remarkable that wasn't on the roadmap for the past 2 quarters.
> believe not in what they say, but what they do.

> you don't really desire it if you don't purchase it.

Good point, yes. But I still think the headline gives it a slightly misguided spin -- i.e., "now people don't just buy more Android devices, they also desire them more."
The puzzle was fun, and I do expect to hire someone from out of that process, but if you have the time and the background, this is even better.
Just think of how many sites ask for all your demographic info like ZIP when you sign up.
Yes, it's a tricky double-standard: satisfaction requires achievable goals, but inspiration requires goals that may not even be possible.
That's cool. My thesis was on a project very similar to flattr - voluntary payments (not donations). This was in 2006/07, a few months before flattr opened for beta users, and was really existed to see it happen.

It didn't come up during an interview though :|
My kid had a great experience with YouTube kids. He learned so much from it, it shocked me. At one point he memorized all the presidents and very detailed minutiae about the dwarf planets, most I had never heard of.

My friends had a worse experience. Their daughter started watching cosplay videos where actors would dress up like Elsa and the Joker, and the Joker would kidnap Elsa and tie her up. Borderline porn and pretty inappropriate. Then she got fixated on makeup videos and they couldn’t stop her from watching those.

It sort of proves the point that Google’s search and suggestion algorithms take your interests and magnify them instead of giving breadth.
Yup those videos are exactly what caused me to swear of YouTube too... just weird memorizing content.

No YouTube anymore. PBS Kids from there on.
IT's not. But my point is that you still need cars for the other 5k++ miles. I'm not saying that bike riding isn't nice, merely that it is not possible for many, many people during many, many parts of the year.

Okay, some hipster with two young kids can take a saturday jaunt on a super-long, super-expensive electric bike, but that's not going to work for most people when it's cold, dark and rainy.
Before I even clicked the link I guessed which video it was.. Oh man, that's not good.. ;\
It depends on your definition of "safe". YT Kids might be completely safe from violent sexual content, but it's a "vapid wasteland" of content optimized for the engagement algorithm, which has no values other than watch time.

YT Kids videos (see some examples above) are highly tuned dopamine production displays with little educational content.

There is good content on YouTube, like Cbeebies and BBC Earth, but that's not what tends to bubble up on the recommendation system.

Even trying to watch individual videos or channels that I do like doesn't work well, because my two year old sees the recommendations and starts demanding what one, and now I have to say "no" to something that shouldn't have been offered in the first place.

I've taken to saying "you can watch anything you want on PBS Kids" in response to demands for YouTube videos of various sorts.
This is also the case in the UK.

Here in the UK, in general (I don't know about the US), renting a property allows you the right to just about live there, grudgingly, and it is definitely NOT your house or home.

This is true more of the lower end of the market than the higher.

The problem with that is that although there are a few really extradinarily wealthy folks, taking even 100% of their wealth wouldn't sustain gov't spending for more than a few weeks. The tax base is mostly middle to upper-middle class taxpayers.
> the whole car looks fat, plasticly cheap.

That's every American car
In europe, practically everyone would fly the 900 miles or take the train.
If you assume using public chargers, then the cost-per-mile calculation needs to be updated, because electricity prices at the charging stations are much higher than the cost of electricity at home. Here where I live, in Poland, the difference can be up to 3 times. In this case HEV is actually much cheaper to run than an EV.
The perfect implementation of freemium for a product people love. Of course if your product is not good, you can't think long-term like this. Lesson is: make a great product, then think for the long run in terms of your business model.
Ok, I spent way more time thinking about this than I should have :)

When we measure human attributes they are almost always normal distributions, I see no reason that programming ability is any different. But, maybe tools allow good programmers to magnify their ability more than poor programmers. If that's the case then we'll have a lopsided normal curve, and that sounds plausible. But, I'm highly skeptical of the idea of "productivity" being a simple metric and that 10x means much of anything.

However, I'm quite certain it's not a power law :)
