So what if I'm using Lynx as my browser? Or if I disable images/Javascript (broader scope than blocking ads specifically)?

What if I have a specific ad agency they happen to employ being blocked in my hosts file? Is it my fault they use Google AdSense instead of Yahoo Listings?

The crux of your argument rests on the user knowing what they are requesting before receiving it. The problem with that is they don't know what they are requesting until they have already obtained it. The page they are requesting could be 200kb of plaintext or it could be 26MB full of high-retina images and javascript.

Since they do not know what a page contains until after they download it - it's within their place to preemptively block things like images, javascript, and flash to save bandwidth or for security reasons.

Furthermore, ads are almost always hosted by a 3rd-party. When I visit example.com I am under no obligation to download anything that does not originate from example.com as my intention is to visit example.com not googles-invasive-ad-network.google.com. If I wanted to visit googles-invasive-ad-network.google.com, I'd enter that URL into my browser in place of example.com

I do have some issues with your reasoning for why a user is morally obligated to perform certain actions however.

>You have paid the price of admission by accepting the document as the creator intended. But when you prevent the other content from showing up in the first place, you have entered into the world of immorality.

If downloading what the content creator has on their site is my moral obligation; am I morally obligated to download malware/viruses if they are included on the page? If the answer is "no", why not? [0]

>if you received the content as the creator intended and then removed the ads, you would have a perfectly legitimate argument.

So if I wget/curl the page then remove the ads by editing the .html file before viewing the file, I'm morally in the clear? AFAIK wget/curl does not count as an ad impression for popular ad agencies. I am willing to accept that I could be wrong on this, as I couldn't find any information on it and am relying on years-old memory.

"At Harvard College and here, at Yale Law School (two places where students have skillfully and bravely compiled data that their Universities suppress), as many students come from households in the top one percent as from the entire bottom half of the income distribution."

Stunning. But no surprise you invest in your kids credentials if you can afford it.

Can someone propose a way the free market can be considered fair without the definition of 'fair' being defined as 'market-determined'?

Kudos to whomever wrote it. The customized meta tags crap for each service has gone too far.
It was a big thing in New York in the middle of the 20th century; Horn and Hardart had about 60 locations. But it didn't grow beyond big cities. Once McDonald's, with their "Speedee Service System", was invented, the fast food industry took a different path. Cafeteria-type operations, with their bulk precooked food, started to decline, and today they're almost gone.

This new Automat-like thing is really a cook-to-order, you-pick-up operation, like most eateries in mall food courts. It's not clear what value all the little windows add. The kitchen side is not, apparently, automated beyond usual fast food levels.

Touchscreen ordering has been tried many times. McDonalds, Wendys, and White Castle have deployed it at some locations. But it hasn't really caught on. If you want to try it, Specialties, an SF bay area lunch chain, uses it. It's worth looking at again now that tablets are cheaper. Slow people at the ordering kiosk can bottleneck the whole system, but if you have lots of cheap tablets available, everybody can work their menu in parallel.

I've been expecting The Counter, a local high-end hamburger chain (hamburger and fries, about $15 plus tip) to go this route. They give you a plastic order sheet and a grease pencil. Their user interface had a problem; the original grease pencils were too big for their closely packed check boxes. They've since upgraded to sharper grease pencils. There are still problems with check boxes being scrubbed out after you hand in your worksheet.

If you're really into the mechanics behind fast food, see "http://www.qsrmagazine.com". They have an article on "Eatsa", from a industry perspective.[1] The kitchen is not automated, but it's organized on the "machines should think, people should work" principle: "The Eatsa team worked to take the complexity out of the kitchen as well, with each employee responsible for a singular task, paired with a system that tells them exactly what goes into each bowl and in what order, increasing the speed of service."

Also, those 1%ers pay for the scholarships that send the 50%ers to Harvard free and move those 50%ers into the 1% shortly after graduation
I thought of a similar idea, which you can feel free to take if you want to make the pivot. I thought a rating system for employees would be great. If an interviewer or agency or previous job has had a great or had experience with an employee, they can leave a rating for future employers whom may be interested in the same employee. Very similar to Amazons system. After all, we are all products to them. It can be linked to LinkedIn as well.
OK. Sure. The deck is stacked against you. And me too.

I just did a five hour session the other day. When I do stream, I stream at http://watchpeoplecode.com. I really like the low latency on it. I am able to interact with the audience via text and/or voice chat in nearly realtime with the code I'm writing.

I record my streams and upload them to youtube after. I find it helps me to be productive, meet other people, and share my joy in creating.
I didn't, it is how it works in latest Chrome.

In all fairness, that's how a blank browser works by default (e.g. Times News Roman is the inherited font-family if you don't specify one) so is very likely the intended behavior.
Remote drove me insane. I was younger then though, and if I did it again I would make sure I had a seperate office room. Living in a flat of rowdy people was a bad idea.
Why do you think this might be? Hasn't demand for law degrees shrunk considerably at schools that aren't top tier since students aren't getting jobs?
It's interesting how this article undermines most modern narratives about inequality while simultaneously maintaining a proper liberal mood affiliation.

According to the article, the "aristocracy" preserves itself by educating it's children well and teaching them to succeed on their own merits. Even then, those children must work extremely hard in order to maintain their position. And there are no real barriers to entry; in principle, anyone can do this, it's just that the wealthy are the ones who actually wind up doing this (probably because they are the ones who recognize the value of it).

In short, the 1% are the 1% because they are better than the rest, and through hard work and good parenting the same is true of their children.

Yet somehow, the article makes these exact same claims in a manner that will probably avoid anger by left wing sorts. I'm impressed.
I think that only applied ever to hourly, and even that I think was changed during the Reagan Admin. I think creditors with unpaid wages aren't even senior anymore.
But having data corruption baked into the system design is shuge minus. Even the big shots at Google and Amazon are constantly firefighting data corruption in their NoSQL systems.

They developed and tested their software on Macs. Yet they offered it to Windows and Linux customers without ever doing any testing on those platforms? Isn't that like saying my React app works on IE-11 so I'm sure it must work on IE-6?
As I stated, I've already purchased a license.

Japan is notoriously easy to get a visa for, but notoriously difficult for citizenship.

For me UK citizenship would mostly provide upside because I can be dual citizen. It would give me everything and allow me to work anywhere in Europe (until UKIP has their way, of course). Oddly, it has some downside because with an ancestry entry permit (which is what I used to work in the UK previously), it is very easy to get a UK visa for my wife (who is Japanese). If I was a citizen, it is actually slightly more difficult (more expensive, more hoops to jump). Such is the maze of international visas.

The OP was of Argentinian decent so given the Falklands war, I don't know what the status is for dual citizenship with the UK (a quick Google search didn't help me).

Basically you can't generalize, but I think you are generally correct that if you intend to stay in a country forever you should consider citizenship very seriously. Living abroad is an eye opening experience. You have to really understand that you are a guest in the country and are subject to whatever whims they may have (with no say on your part). Paying taxes, being a good neighbour, providing benefit to the host country does not mean anything.
That might be possible on an occasional basis, but less so on a daily basis in a family situation.

I am suppressing my instinct to lob unsportsmanlike commentary akin to written rotten tomatoes sailing through fetid 1830 london swill-house atmosphere, in the event that doing so might invalidate my entrance ticket to an "elevated discourse".
That being said, let me offer my primary criticism of this circular-masturbatory speech: The word "meritocracy" is the foundation of the orator's work, and that foundation is rotten, perverted, and foul. Why? Because the meritocracy of which he speaks does NOT encompass the world's population, does not include the democratic peoples of my United States, but is limited to that special community of between-the-liners and word-twisters that "practice law" in our United States. Oh, I understand that lawyers can do good - but the true meritocracy against which these persons should be measured is the COLLECTIVE good of the world's population. Merit should not be measured by the dollars grossed by useless class-action lawsuits, nor the suppressive use of patent law. A true meritocracy is not judged from within a special community, it is recognized from OUTSIDE that community. Merit in the legal community should be measured in the currency of reduced human suffering, of elevated souls, of JUSTICE exercised! THOSE merits are levied on a community of practice by the CUSTOMER, not the self-serving leaders of that community. Merit awarded for trampling the will of the less fortunate is merit dripping with blood and pain, steeped in sadness and depression, radiating with sadness.
I know that the speaker offers a feeble plea to democratize the ivy aristocracy, but even that was done in an own-community-serving way, to offer a way out of the self "using up" lifestyle that Manhattan law offers. I don't believe his plea is strong enough to combat dreams of bespoken suits and three thousand-dollar Italian heels.
I hope some of those graduates felt uncomfortable when hearing this speech, and were able to focus on why they felt that way, and hopefully will use their hard-earned skill to help the world suffer less.

It is easy to understand what is being scanned when the answer is "10-100x as much as would be necessary in a RDBMS".
For large MSB radix sorts you should do 6 bits at a time (64 bins) to avoid spilling the TLB cache. You can switch to 8 bits when you get below 64 pages (256k).

Also, for sorting 64-bit integers I like to do a bitwise or of all the integers while computing the histogram. Then if the bits you are looking at are zero (plausible for unsigned 64-bit integers) you can skip to the ones that matter for the next histogram.
This seems like something Dropbox should be aware of, and actively trying to fix.
Well the expectation is different for different players. If Facebook lose 1 photo for 1 customer out of 10M customers, FB wouldn't care. The user may just assume a glitch. For a small business, losing 1 photo for 1 customer out of 10,000 customers can be a big deal, but nonetheless not the worst case. Offer sincere apology, do extra data backup/replication if those data are extremely valuable to customer, and roll out a new service.
I'm not familiar with AUS loan mechanics, however, "deferred interest" <> "interest free". There aren't federal 'interest free' education loans in the US that I'm aware of. All the federal programs I see have interest rates of >4%. Granted, it seems like that's a relatively low rate for borrowing money.

US federal un-subsidized college loans can accrue interest even if paying interest or principle is deferred. Not at all the same as interest-free.

Additionally, with some federal student loans, there are fees of 1 percent and up that are actually removed from the loan amount prior to disbursement that you're on the hook for repaying in entirety.

Also your $200k number isn't accurate; unless you're counting room & board which is different matter not directly tied to education. I don't disagree that the availability of funds seems to contribute to the cost of education, but that number is a bit high.

From teh google:

According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2014–2015 school year was $31,231 at private colleges, $9,139 for state residents at public colleges, and $22,958 for out-of-state residents attending public universities.

Converting metaphor back into real life, I'm pretty sure shuffling the deck usually involves a whole lot of violence.
If you don't "feel entitled to get paid," then what do you really have to complain about when someone wants it for free? And don't you think it's a little unfair that you'd attribute to others a "sense of entitlement" and to you a "virtue of good fortune" for participating in comparable behavior?

I recommend you stop using the phrase "sense of entitlement" to describe how other people come to conclusions about what they would like the world to be. Because unless you are doing the exact same thing, you have no grounds to object. (I.e., it is your "sense of entitlement" that causes you to want things to work the way you want them to.)

>It seems like preventing someone from accessing something that they have a right to is immoral.

No, it doesn't "seem" like it. That's what it means to have a right.

Everything else you're asking is a matter of social bargaining. You are entitled to payment for your work. Others are entitled to culture and attention management. You give some of yours, others give some of theirs. And everybody argues that they are giving more than the other, so as to get the best deal they can get for what they offer.

At the end of the day, what is right is what benefits our collective ability to make decisions in the long run. And people are pretty fed up with ads that do nothing but offend their peace of mind. It doesn't benefit them, it only benefits those who sell the ads. Which means those who give their attention are not bargaining well enough to get what they want. Hence this whole discussion.
One of the preceding sentences phrases it well:

> But although it was once the engine of American social mobility, meritocracy today blocks equality of opportunity.

This reminds me somewhat of the phrase "kicking away the ladder" that Chomsky mentions, in a different context:

> Well, that’s what the intellectual property rights are for. In fact there’s a name for it in economic history. Friedrich List, famous German political economist in the 19th century, who was actually borrowing from Andrew Hamilton, called it “kicking away the ladder”. First you use state power and violence to develop, then you kick away those procedures so that other people can’t do it. [1]

Here is my poorly paraphrased version of the idea:

1. use whatever means are available to obtain
a position of advantage (the ladder).
2. now, let us change the rules so from this
moment forth we shall compete upon our equal
merits, without resorting to such ugly means
as "ladders" to obtain advantage.
3. note however, that i still remain in a
position of absolute advantage, due to my
previous use of the ladder, which you now
cannot access.
4. ho ho ho, "meritocracy" / "free trade" / etc.

That's what we did for the WakaTime plugin, and it's worked great for us.

We did however have to use external python for the common python core instead of just importing the package, mainly because of the lack of ssl support in the embedded python.

If you clearly define "fairness" as you see it, you can test whether free markets or government controlled ones are the ones which come closest to satisfying your preferences. There are a number of paradigms, Haidt describes two visions of fairness: one of equality and another of proportionality.[1]

Under most definitions of social justice (though not all the ones focusing on relative income distributions), the free market has better outcomes than more socialist systems. Free markets allow for liberty and greater prosperity, and this results in healthier, richer citizens with the freedom to pursue a good life. Free markets also encourage sympathy, trust, and fellow-feeling.[2]

Focusing on a measure of equality such as national GINI coefficients, the USA is closest to Phillipines, Peru, Uruguay, and Cameroon.[3] Does the GINI translate to "fairness"? Which country of the five would you prefer to live in if you were at a given position of the income distribution? Which has the freest markets? Which is most "fair"? Does the GINI convey much information about being rich or poor in a country?

Just a nitpick with your comment but American minimum wage is $58/day and it's higher in most states. The median American assembly line worker makes $88/day. China isn't that close yet.
> And there are no real barriers to entry

There are barriers to entry. Children taught with care, with consistent discipline, attention, etc. will do better.

When mom and dad are out working and unavailable to lend a hand with homework, children will not do well. When mom and dad work blue collar jobs where they don't use skills that are marketable for the world tomorrow, children are left on their own to do things children do. When mom and dad are angry and bitter because of their misfortunes, children will very possibly be on the receiving end of unwarranted yelling.

Time, stress-free lives, roof on your head -- these are increasingly luxuries that even middle class folks cannot afford. Not having them is the barrier.
Change on a massive scale has never been peaceful. We're at the precipice of a new Era much like the Industrial Revolution, the masses of society are about to see a paradigm shift.

The narrative assumes that working hard necessarily creates value and thus merit, but that's not always true. For example, the Oracle Java lawsuit vs. Google, or SCO vs. IBM were immensely expensive, surely involved many of these grads, and yet created very little value to the majority of society. There are plenty of other frivolous lawsuits out there.

This narrative only escapes liberal disapproval if liberals fail to question the value of the legal process. So no better time to deliver this speech than a Yale Law commencement.
I mean, in the sense that technically when you publish anything on GitHub/npm/PyPI/RubyGems/etc. you're "offering" it to Windows and Linux users – sure. Given that the editor plugin is not a standalone software product being sold, it seems perfectly reasonable to just put it out there and then let people report issues on their platform.
According to the article, the "aristocracy" preserves itself by educating it's children well and teaching them to succeed on their own merits.

Disclaimer: I may have to plead "guilty as charged" here, if I'm allowed the conceit of placing myself in this aristocracy. Educating our children well has been a defining theme of the culture of my family, going back generations.

With that said, however, a strong factor in educating children to join any "ocracy" is wealth. This can't be overlooked. This aristocracy is not only providing education, but also the environment within which kids can receive that education continuously from birth through young adulthood and possibly beyond. This environment is safe, engaging, surrounded by educated and education-loving adults, and free of violence.

Also, I tend to prefer saying something like "valuable work" rather than "hard work." From my vantage point, hard work is something like carrying a hod, working in a call center, or some other kind of physically or emotionally stressful labor. I hope to never do hard work if I can avoid it.
