I scanned this before coffee this morning and in short I'm not sure anyone else should read it in its present state.

Although the author poses some interesting ideas the piece feels long and muddled and I'm not at all sure who the audience is or what the call to action might be. Voice is unclear as some paragraphs are personal statements ("I") and others are observations about culture and economics.

It might be more powerful if it was drastically shorter and simpler ... or maybe if it was three times longer with more references and a stronger set of recommendations. I really can't say.
The pull quote from the article is indeed misleading.

McFadden's work is an attempt to provide a foundation for adaptive mutation.

Adaptive mutation is where only well adapted mutations occur at odds with a random explantion.

From (the OP's author) McFadden's and Khalili's 1999 paper:
A quantum mechanical model of adaptive mutation

"The principle that mutations occur randomly with respect to the direction of evolutionary change has been challenged by the phenomenon of adaptive mutations. There is currently no entirely satisfactory theory to account for how a cell can selectively mutate certain genes in response to environmental signals. However, spontaneous mutations are initiated by quantum events such as the shift of a single proton (hydrogen atom) from one site to an adjacent one. We consider here the wave function describing the quantum state of the genome as being in a coherent linear superposition of states describing both the shifted and unshifted protons. Quantum coherence will be destroyed by the process of decoherence in which the quantum state of the genome becomes correlated (entangled) with its surroundings."

I meant "rigorous and comprehensive" to include "representative of the entire quantum community". That poll was conducted at a single conference and had 33 participants. The bias inherent in this approach can be seen when the same poll was conducted at two other conferences:

http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.2719

http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.4646

In both cases, de-Broglie Bohm interpretations ruled the day. As the abstract of the latter paper states:

> ...the results do strongly suggest several interesting cultural facts -- for example, that there exist, within the broad field of "quantum foundations", sub-communities with quite different views, and that (relatedly) there is probably even significantly more controversy about several fundamental issues than the already-significant amount revealed in the earlier poll.
Facebook forces some sanity into the form, but not into the content. As for the rest, no, most ads (especially on news media sites) are neither reasonably implemented nor for decent products. Products that are advertised are not the ones best for you, but the ones the company will make most money off.
Also for all who subscribe for betta all features (new or old) will be free forever :)

Thank you for your feedback in advanced
They work well, but the only problem is I've found is they can have a lot of false-positives.

Stuff like redirects that sites use to track links can get blocked and you can't follow links on a page, etc.

I expected much less, 10% is great!
Vegan-friendly simply means it is plant-based and doesn't use animal products. I would have preferred plant-based but does it really matter? This company is saving lives! It's diverting money from consumers of the on-demand economy and using it to save lives in Africa. That's pretty great.
What portion of a "standard" web site (say, Google search) is hot vs non-hot ?
I don't want to get into arguing about adblocking too much, but it is notable that all studies, including this one, about adblock reach are from companies who have a vested interest in growing ad blocking's reach... yet the press gobbles it up.
About one month ago, I dropped Mountain Dew (and all pop/soda) cold-turkey. The only time I DO have pop, is when I have a mixed drink, and that's 7up/Sprite, about 3 cans per week. I used to drink 2 20oz Mountain Dews per day, for 20 years. Yes, I'm obese. I hope I start to see the effects soon of the drastically reduced sugar/fructose intake. After 1 month, I haven't noticed anything yet. (My wife's a health nut, and makes me eat pretty well also)
Apple has more current street cred i guess. The IMSAI is only valuable to people who grew up on the film.
We both have a right to not be assaulted. I don't have a right to assault you, you don't have a right to assault me. However, if you assault me, you forgo your right to not be assaulted. I now have the right to assault you in self-defense.

At least, I think this is the logic. Not sure if self-defense counts as assault in a legal sense. A similar argument probably applies to police hitting people as well as forms of consensual violence.
I agree. It is definitely better to move to a different country. Perhaps Canada, or some country in Europe? Australia has lax immigration requirements as well.
Without ad networks, pretty much only large and well-capitalized sites would be able to sell any ads at all.
I would love it if they unionize.

The only thing I dislike is protecting the bad apples such as police union or teacher union style tenured.

I feel like company HR aren't there for you but for the company and unions are there for you.

I was in a situation were I was harass by my boss and HR was never there for me. After twice reporting, there was an incident where I decided I'm going to quit because I couldn't handle the harassment. This was in a gov agency mind you and I regret not joining a union.

We also had an option to take out of our paycheck a monthly fee for legal advice and retainers. I got that option just cause I thought it was a nice security I really don't know why I would need it. It turns out these retainers cannot help you legally against your boss or company btw.
Don't forget the security perspective -- as ad networks are being abused for malware delivery more and more, ad-blocking is also a way to stay safe.

Not to mention all the fake "DOWNLOAD!!1" buttons that an ad-blocker removes, eliminating a large percentago of malware installations for less tech-savvy users.

I'm sad they didn't show how many people use "teeheehee." I don't know when I started that habit but now I'm using it occasionally.
> We need a better system than ads.

Complimentary editorial copy, corporate press releases masquerading as news stories, paid product placement, paid endorsements as part of the content ... Eh I'd rather stick with the existing "block known ad hosts and any graphic of X by Y pixel dimensions", easier to block.
What problem does this solve exactly?

(As others have mentioned), it's closed source, so who is going to trust it with personal data? I'd much rather trust bittorrent sync than this but this point is really irrelevant. This isn't mom and pop software.

On the other hand, those who would like to use it seriously (pirates, hackers, those who value privacy) will laugh at it,
not only because it's closed source and thus all claims the author makes are unverifiable, but also because the architecture is crap.

So, summarizing, is there anything of substance besides hype and famewhoring here? I think not.

Publishers have the same problem musicians do: it's (a) ridiculously easy to publish now (text or music), (b) you're literally competing with every other publisher/musician in the entire world.

As for popular opposition, their case is that they shouldn't need to censor things around the world that are only illegal under French law.

It's not clear that France wants to censor things around the world. The problem is that Google doesn't censor results even to French connections, if the user accesses Google.com instead of Google.fr.
> what about not serving the main content for ad block users? If you don't like them then don't serve them, it shouldn't be that hard.

Harder than you think. Ad blockers actively subvert attempts to detect them with code and filter updates. If ad blockers were easy to detect we would surely see more of that.

> and it's at least as bad as sugar (at the very least in the public opinion / medias).

Shrugs, public opinion and media's opinion is just that opinion not fact so is (to me..yay my opinion) irrelevant.

Nothing is safe in huge amounts but I'll take aspartame over sugar as the risk of diabetes is known.

"Go home, yuppies!" - Yes and no. Hacker spirit is flexible, so why are we still sitting on that name? It's dead for that spirit since the 90s. In some regard I think, that I even care might be a good proof that I don't really belong. Wouldn't be strange to see the "real hackers" to just go hack something else while we sit here discussing "community norms" and "special terms".
Don't really like this article, the writing is embellished and the thesis unclear.
Since S3 is the defacto artifact delivery system for most people that run on AWS, it's not much of a surprise. For the most part, very isolated incidents aside, S3 is rock solid. Even EC2 relies on S3 for launching non-EBS instances.
A fantastic graphic novel that covers these and others (such as the bell warden's third son's sajinrai [1] in vol. 4) is Lone Wolf and Cub, which was written by amateur Edo historians and effectively cemented them as legends of the manga community.

It is a great work which inspired many others including Frank Miller's Sin City and Ronin, and Collins' Road to Perdition. I personally think that it is on par with Watchmen (arguably the greatest graphic novel, and one that tops most lists) - certainly no other works had the same impact. Perhaps because it is in black and white, very long, and originally in Japanese, it's nowhere near as famous.

At the very least, it doesn't taste the same which is probably most of where the complaint comes from. 'Good' is entirely relative.
That is not the word "nardi." It's the name Nardi, as in Thomas Nardi, the author of a magazine article cited as a source at the end of the post.
I used to love Dropbox because of how simple it was. You could even host static HTML websites through it. All links were direct links, it was beautiful. Now you have to go through splash pages that try and make you login to the service, it's a pain.

I see no reason to use it anymore though. It's expensive, there's little free space and it lacks in features compared to Google/One Drive.
Why Using a Physics Engine for a 2D Platformer Is a Terrible Idea
I'd agree with everything you say if I'd cross out "with our personal data". I don't think this is what started the war - most people don't care or even understand the nuances of this issue. But they experience publishers' greed directly in form of more ads, more annoying ads, more scammy ads, malware installed by ads, etc. Nowadays ads are offensive actions - annoying at best, costing lot of time and money at worst (if you catch that ransomware because some asshole put the thing you're looking for inside a "value-add" bundle). It's enough to piss everyone off even without bringing up the topic of data they're collecting and what they're doing with it.
Can you tell please more about the immigration and work outlook and prospects in Uruguay?

I have very limited info about Uruguay and I appreciate it if someone could help me and provide more details about the situation there
Thanks for honesty!
With ad-network malware from major news sites, it is actually dangerous for your nontechnical friends and relatives not to run an ad-blocker.

"Ad blockers are safe sex for the Internet."

"You could sleep with lots of people and demand their test results every time ... or you could just use a condom. Same with ad blockers."
I am not the type that moves around easily in social situations, so I try to remove things that put me on the spot. Said that, I still don't drink alcohol or sugary stuff, it's just annoying to explain why every time

I leave in Munich, Oktober Fest... a small beer here is 0.5L and you have biergartens everywhere. You definitely can push to go to restaurants or cafes, but the reality is just that many times you'll find yourself in an establishment that serves primarily alcohol.

You can go out only to sport, music, outdoor events. But then you'll hardly meet the same number of people and you'll restrict yourself to certain specific group where average is usually above 40.
Using an interpreter instead of a compiler for the lowest JIT tier can reduce startup time. When it's done in a good way it could actually even lead to speedups in common cases.
All about NGINX and APACHE 301 Moved Permanently
This. I have no problem with ad per se. They are a annoying but necessary part of life. After all, products and brand needs to make themselve known.

However, I do have a problem with tracking. I'd rather have ads that are of no interest to me than having a ad network gathering huge of amount of data about me.

The day ad network will stop tracking, I will stop blocking.
I suspect if companies tracked the actual return for various adds, it would put an end to the obnoxiousness fairly quick. It's easy to why so many companies are willing to engage in click-fraud.
Medieval weapons in Europe were very thorough as well but they don't talk about it as much.
Smalley was obviously right because Drexler thought that nanotechnology would eventually become something like mechanical engineering. That does not work, because quantum mechanics are the default nanoscale rules.

However, Drexler was able to contradict himself enough to make an interesting point about molecular assembly in ribosomes; it just does not have the same atomic precision as peptide synthesis. Therefore, nanotechnology is now firmly in the discipline of chemical engineering.

In that article, I can find one quote from Smalley which was certainly untrue at the time:

"biology is wonderous in the vast diversity of what it can build, but it can't make a crystal of silicon, or steel, or copper, or aluminum, or titanium, or virtually any of the key materials on which modern technology is built."

Shellfish nucleate crystals of silicon, and bacteria nucleate magnetic nanoparticles of iron. That much was obvious to geologists during Smalley's lifetime, but one could still construe chemical skepticism.

May the victor of the debate rest in peace; and let K. Eric Drexler correct himself as much as he wants.
But you've also given them a non-exclusive and irrevocable right to use it as they want (with limitations, you'd need to read their exact policy to be sure).

So while you may retain the copyright, you could very easily have signed over permission to whatever company who's website you used to post it to use it however they want.
Go home, yuppies.

The last few paragraphs bring it home: hacking is being subverted as a tool of the establishment and no longer, in common use, means working against the establishment.
I agree. I went to college with a housemate who didn't drink. You'd be surprised how few people cared/noticed that he did this. I think one of those things where if you're the one not drinking you think you stick out more than you do.

Unsweetened ice tea is a great flavorfull beverage with no calories and caffeine...
For others who consider if it's worth clicking: the paper is by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urs_H%C3%B6lzle and it's written in 1994.
I don't want to belittle your experience, but we just had something similar happen within our family, in the United States.

My wife's grandmother was on the decline due to dementia. Her care requirements were so high that we had to put her into a care facility. The problem is, because her symptoms didn't require putting her into a $6k a month facility, insurance wouldn't cover it. So for the remaining year of her life, we had to come up with the $4.5k a month for her care.

The care for people here is expensive, so much so that it can destroy families.

> the doctors were so horrible they couldn't even begin to figure out what was wrong with her

That happens here too, unless you have the ability to pay for a trip to the Mayo clinic.

> the local hospital had no MRI or CT machines

Ours does, and the costs for using it are prohibitive if you have no insurance. In fact if you have no insurance, you aren't welcome at the hospital unless you have a life threatening problem, like actively bleeding out.

> I personally grew up in one of the poorest parts of America, Appalachia.

That doesn't describe even my hometown, a relatively rich corner of Montana with lots of disposable income coming in from California expats. We have homeless, folks who can't afford a car, a few murders a year... in a town with a population around 40k.

Note: While impressive, and a technical milestone for NOvA, this is still in the realms of known physics. The exciting parts will come as the quantities of data ramp up and we can probe unknown areas of physics.

See also; articles about "First Collisions" every time the LHC turns on again.
Along the same vein, I highly recommend this read from Aral Balkan[0] on how advertising and analytics data is now really just a fancy word for what we considered spyware back in the older (freer) days of the Internet.

DNA encodes the amino acid sequence. Quantum mechanics defines the folding. These two things combined determine the colour of your eyes, etc., etc. Encoding per se is meaningless without the folding.

Also, the way how RNA polymerase work (i.e., transcription) is of quite a quantum nature too.
It's not really correct to think of them as only differing by their energy state. The second and third generations of quarks (strange/charm and bottom/top) have additional quantum numbers, flavor quantum numbers, that also need to be conserved.

In addition, a defining characteristic of the strong force, as described by QCD, is the existence of the well known phenomenon called Asymptotic Freedom [1]. Based on the theory of QCD this is only possible if there are no more than 8 generations of quarks (16 flavors in total). Granted, we are only aware of three generations at the moment but this does put an upper limit on the total number of possible quark generations.

I know this isn't the most satisfying answer to your question but I just wanted to point out that there are some well known differences and bounds on the number of quark generations.

Ask HN: Podcast creators and listeners. What do you want?
The era of podcast is not really dead but it advanced from a grassroots medium to a glossy feature with sophisticated means of production.

Also the tools emerged. WordPress has an overall acceptable support for podcasters and iTunes is still the number one tool for listeners, I guess.

However. Is there something you as a podcast creator or listener are missing? Which tools do you desire? What do you like and what do you hate?
I think you are confusing the commenter and the original poster.
Sure but thats not the point. My point is that a forced deportation is rare. Please read the thread before voting me down or commenting, thanks.
Even when intuition fails, intuitionist logic may still prove quite useful.
Yes, that's a good example. The recipe I used for such demos was based on an old Soviet electric shaver and a standard bicycle wheel spoke, it's a known combination to get an inverted pendulum (even at funny angles, not necessarily entirely upward).
It's ok! We have all that stuff too!

Seriously, the tech press went full-on "editorial wall? pfeh, so 20th century" fifteen years ago, and the rest of the press has followed. You're describing the present.
The specifics of this are a bit outside my knowledge area, so take this with a few major grains of salt.

But basically V8 has tools built in that will decide when the cost of compiling is worth the possible benefit.

So the AJAX submission javascript will probably never hit the optimizing compiler, but your function inside 3 nested loops will probably be hit ASAP.
Knocki – Make Anything a Remote Control
I have a similar anecdote. I work for a company selling a recommendation platform to travel agencies, and the content we display is often similar in layout to regulars ads. It happens, from time to time, to demo a version of their own website to them, with the proper recommendation block injected (mostly to seek the client's validation on the look and feel). And, I recall having one of them congratulate us for the fast loading and clean display of their pages (on my ublock-running-browser). I didn't pick this up. Obviously, the original page was literally cluttered with ads..
I suggest to check Berlin and Hamburg. There are lots of both startups and established companies (yesterday's startups) where German is not required. The biggest hiring now are Zalando, SoundCloud. But this is true for software engineers. If you are an electrical or mechanical engineer, sure, the best places are Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg, where German is mostly a must.
Selling ads directly is the best when you've got the time and energy to do it. That's what I do on my site and it does produce higher returns.

We also got rid of Adsense a few months ago as the ads were generally of lower quality and didn't match the market of our publication all of the time (retargeting, etc). We also use only images for ads, as we try to have them be of magazine quality.

I'm sure some people visiting the site use Adblock etc but most advertisers are happy with the traffic they receive that losing a few views doesn't seem to bother them.
