Bro if you need any verification from me let me know. I am from effected area. I have seen 3 bus stands burning in front of my eyes. Reached home with difficulty. No one stopped any one from protesting but destroying public property is not a way to protest.

This guys had gone highly out of control. Banning their communication was one of the way to control them. Atleast I feel so. I am from affected area.

If you want I can send you some photos I took from my mob while going home shivering.

Sounds like it's entirely up to the author of the block app (and the user's choices in configuring that) to determine what's blocked. Think about how much tracking most desktop adblockers also block.
This is from April 2015. Latest figures are here:

Amazon's app store is a cesspit, full of either very similarly named Apps to ones on the play store, but that do something different, or people just straight up stealing other people's Apps and selling them themselves.
I say this as an Indian and with sadness: The notion and importance of free speech is at worst alien and at best a concept with little or no respect in India. If you exercise your right to free speech (you can only do so when you indulge in speech not welcome by anyone who holds influence) you seriously risk physical harm. This is the reason you dont have Jon Stewart show in India, wont have in the near future.

If someone drops his pants, or more accurately does something much worse (multi-homicide level worse) and claims "I did because BTNM said so", no one will seriously question his/her judgement or responsibility of listening to BTNM but will fall over themselves in their eagerness to blame BTNM exclusively and put a blanket ban on anything that is deemed unpopular by the people who have influence: think of the women and children that may be harmed.

I am sick and tired of waiting for us to behave like adults and treat people like adults with the full set of responsibilities that comes with it. But no, we want to be treated like kids incapable of taking responsibility of our own actions and elect such people to high places.

I expect this to be downvoted if there is a large Indian audience hanging out here. This is definitely a minority view here, going by multiple conversations I have had on this topic.
Which is why I said most companies with large bandwidth costs do not become profitable. YouTube eventually is one notable, glaring exception. But even they took years, billions of dollars in infrastructure investment and losses on bandwidth, access to a massive existing base of advertisers that already trusted its parent company, and arguably the best monetization team in the history of capitalism to achieve profitability.
Personally I don't care about tracking if it means advertisers show me adverts I might want to click on (and thus the ecosystem I use can be funded). But I do care about adverts that aren't targeted to my needs and wants. I'd block those if I could, and leave the targeted ads alone.
It's a different domain. Content blocking only applies to Safari. iAd ads only appear in third party apps if the developer chooses to use them. They could also use a different ads provider. That's not affected by content blocking because it's not a web page inside Safari.

"Fascinating history. It's strange to see what the various jujitsu-descended arts choose as their comfort level with injury."

I think is not strange. This oscillation is normal. There is a tension in all the martial arts that serious practicants are very aware of.

If you practice only the form, where you can practice everything, you are not really practicing, because you are not used to what means a real fight. In the other hand is impossible to practice in a total realistic way because is dangerous and not healthy.

The same tension translate to competition. When you start making rules it stop being a real combat, but without rules is impossible to have competition.

In the Brazilian Jujitsu combats, for instance, there are a lot of things that are forbidden and you never train for (attack the eyes, break fingers..) but you would find in a "street fight"

As the bio mechanics are the same for all the martial arts, we are all humans after all, I think that one of the more important things that determine a martial art "shape" is how it solve this tension between form and combat. The other more important being where your focus is (for instance stand up vs. floor, or grappling vs. punching).

What you describe is the natural movement in those axis.
How to Become a Better Product Manager
And from John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar:

"Background: 'mucker' is an Anglicisation of 'amok'. Don't believe anyone who says it's a shifted pronunication of 'mugger'. You can survive a mugger, but if you want to survive a mucker the best way is not to be there when it happens.
"Prior to the twentieth century the densest concentration of human beings was almost certainly found in Asian cities. (Except Rome and I'm coming to Rome later.) When too many people got in your way you armed yourself with a panga or a kris and went out to cut some throats. It didn't matter if you were educated in their use or not - the people you came up against were in their normal frame of reference and died. You were in the. berserk frame of reference. Background: the berserkers developed from communities who for a large part of the year sat on their asses in Norwegian fjordal valleys with an unclimbable mountain range on each side, a lid of horrible grey cloud on top, and you couldn't get away by sea either because of the winter storms.

￼￼"There's a saying among the Nguni of South Africa that you didn't only have to kill a Zulu warrior - you had to push him over to make him lie down. Background: Chaka Zulu made it a policy to take his assegai-fodder from their parents in early childhood and raise them in barrack-like conditions owning no possessions bar a spear, a shield and a sheath to hide the penis, with absolutely no privacy. He made independently the same discovery the Spartans made.
"Also it was when Rome had already become the world's first million-city that the Eastern mystery religions with their concomitant self-privation and self-mutilation took hold. You fell in behind the procession honouring Cybele, you seized a knife from one of the priests, you cut your balls off and ran through the streets waving them till you came to a house with the door open when you threw them over the threshold. They gave you an outfit of women's clothing and you joined the priesthood. Reflect on the pressure that drove you to think that that was the easy way out!"
Kindle worked out right out of the gate. They dramatically underestimated the demand for the first Kindle.

Certainly that first iteration looks like shit compared to modern iterations, but why would you expect otherwise?

Arguably Bezos' unlikely success with Kindle made people give him the benefit of the doubt when they should not have. That was my take away anyway, from when I was working on Fire Phone (I left my team because of that project, and my experiences with it greatly contributed to my decision to leave the company).
we don't know their plans for the future. as long as it is a webview, they own it.

What the article describes is something I also see in the electronics/software industry. So many people are competing about who works the most insane hours, but do not take the time to sleep over things.

How likely is it that these apps will be built? 100%. One of those is
Crystal, by Dean Murphy. His pitches: ... Pages render more than 3.9x
faster on average.

How is that measured?

Do ads delay the rendering of the important, non-ad content by nearly 4x? Or does that content render before ads, and the ads take a long time to render?

Put another way: am I going to see the content I care about 3.9x faster?
THE LUCKY DEUCE: GETTING IN THE SLOT
The future doesn't apply today. Today, webviews don't implement content blocking. GGP appeared to assume webviews did implement that.
That's complete nonsense. They're providing content blocking in Safari. They're not blocking in-app ads, which is the area that iAd competes in, so they're not harming any iAd competitors.
These comments are always like this, but the 'aside from XXX its not bad!' is different every time, and writing off a horrible user experience like solitare not being in a freaking window is not a minor thing. Its a huge fucking annoyance
Yes - and the answer to the question "what would happen if those same people mounted a similarly forceful campaign to get Governor Cuomo to clean out and fully fund the MTA" is no effect.

That's why his point is stupid - because that energy directed at funding the MTA would be a waste. It's like saying "instead of using your a/c to cool your apartment, did you consider putting it outside so that we could cool down the whole city block instead of just your private little space?"
The World of UX Anti-Patterns
try scrolling.
How come that people are shocked ? Thanks to google and others that taught people not to pay or that services like this can be free and paid by the ads or from other sources.

And people got mad about the ads and started blocking it..even the avg joe does that.
If I remember right it's because the Metro app was called "Settings" but the control panel still existed as well. I would always just do Win+E then click on the control panel icon in the ribbon.
...and the way to fix it, the only effective intervention, the only conceivable intervention is to ban / censor mobile communication, to take away the ability of all people in the area from communicating over mobile. Fair enough, seems the obvious and logical thing to do. Government caught in the noble act of governance.
It is a great deal of disconnect. You can't just make a veblen good by slapping an outrageous pricetag on shit. It has to at least pretend to be a quality product.

If the world worked like that, then you could open a hotdog shop, sell hotdogs for 100USD each, then expect a Michelin star rating.
Given that ads on mobile typically block you from seeing the content until you've clicked through the ad, then I think it's safe to say that removing the ad lets you see the content faster.
Thank you. The technical explanation was very helpful.
I'm happy with advertising. It pays for all the free stuff. Apple wants to kill all the free content so you only have the choice of paying Apple to do anything.

Companies built around an advertising model should detect and reject Apple browsers.

Individuals who value getting free stuff on the web should switch to non Apple browsers to show support for advertising.

This is like an article on how to use a screwdriver as a chisel.
>broken eye sockets and arms aren't enough to call a fight.

That is just wrong. In any professional MMA organization, fights are called at this point to prevent permanent injury to the fighters so that they can sustain a long career.
This is not true. Apple most emphatically does not want a slice of the pie that is personal data. They've made it clear time and time again that they do not want your personal data, they do not monetize it, they do not collect anything more than aggregate statistics necessary to improve their own products[1], and Tim Cook has made it very clear that Apple's executive leadership values privacy very highly.

Unlike a lot of other companies (cough Google cough), Apple makes money by selling hardware and software. They do not make it by monetizing your data. And they view this as a competitive advantage.

[1] For example, you can bet they collect aggregate statistics on Spotlight searches that search the web, but they get rid of any personally-identifying information, so they can't tell anything about any given user (i.e. no tracking).
> Haskell was created to be beautiful. Clojure was created to be practical

Haskell was created to unify research in programming language theory under a common language, not to be beautiful.
Have you checked out Real World Haskell by Bryan Sullivan? It's different than most Haskell resources I've found in that it introduces you to monads & IO fairly quickly, so you're not trapped with toy math problems. That was an issue I had with Learn You a Haskell for Great Good - finding the sum of all odd squares that are smaller than 10,000 is good and all, but not exactly a programming problem I have often...

They havent banned mobile calls. They have just blocked mobile internet for 24 hours.

No doubt that should have been last option. But yes they did it at last. People started pelting stones on Army. So even Army couldnt control mob via flag march or any such thing.

Ah yes, possibly the only phone less successful than fire phone...
Not to mention killing ads kills the primary revenue source for its primary competitor. (90% of Google's revenue in 2014 came from ads.) Though to be clear, Apple isn't trying to nuke all ads. It's just trying to steer people away from the web and toward apps.

They don't seem to be making a lot, considering all the hype surrounding Ghost for the last year or more.

I am using Ghost (self hosted) for my blog and find it brilliant but I think the ecosystem needs more time to develop and sustain itself. So the jury is still out I guess...
Is this really the right reference to go for? Chemo is universally hated, makes you look like not yourself, makes you throw up and feel sick all the time, steals all your energy, and, importantly, often does not work.
Theres a difference between making mobile Apps and making a mobile OS. Keeping people with those skills on to work on the Amazon Android app feels to me like hiring Linus Torvalds because you want to release a Linux version of your software.
Because the issue that wasted the money are the ones making decisions about who stays and goes, so, naturally, they stay, and the serfs go.

That is rather the whole point of positions of power and influence.
untrue, you re-add the amazon app store and your apps are back. Google also recently changed it so it doesn't force reinstall everything, you choose what you want re-installed. Or at least it did in 5.2. I actually prefer it as some apps are garbage
That sounds terrifying. You have my sympathies. Could there be a better way, though? Some way to calm the mobs without silencing everyone else? In what way are the mobs using mobile Internet that requires shutting it down?

I hope order and safety are restored quickly, and in a judicious and democratic way. All the best from here in the US.
Can you block Apples iAd, too?

This looks like what Apple did with payments on IOS - only Apple's payment system is allowed, and Apple takes a 30% cut.
This was my thought - it's an awesome read and 3D printing definitely has its place, but its strength is generally in one-off or very-short-run custom items rather than building mass produced parts.

Why does my “Windows 7 Ultimate” OS only upgrade to “Windows 10 Professional”?
I recently opted to upgrade my current 'Windows 7 Ultimate" to the free, "Windows 10" offering, and was dismayed to find that my previous "Ultimate" product version was only upgraded to a "Professional" version of the new "10" OS.

Is there no comparable variant for "Windows 10", or does MS want me to pay extra for a comparable version? It appears so: http://is.gd/pQwGZ7
Yet another android phone.

People do not necessarily want android phones. They do not want overhyped linux phones either (jolla).

People want polished supported products. An innovative system that just works, the preinstalled apps are the best of what you can get (and not a crapware you want to uninstall).
People want the features they do not have to learn about and how to use them.

They want to experience them.

The other people you have to attract are the developers. Create an attractive environment. Create a tools and docu for them. Tell them how many users are using your product. How many want this and that app. How many are willing to pay.

Then you can build the brand and start selling phones with higher margins.

Otherwise you are just another android phone hw maker.
It is no longer about the hw you produce but the sw matters. And it always will.
How would their website accomplish that?
That seems to be an interesting first post, especially considering people communicating openly seems a way to prevent violence and rumors.

It seems you might want to provide more detail or justification behind your words, or people may consider you an astroturfer.
I was thinking about the reasons this article is HN's first page.

When the article is not about technology or startups, is it because the site is well executed or because the subject is interesting? Probably both.

I would like to point another reason: the Gracie jiu-jitsu empire is an example of well executed and successful start up.

Their marketing techniques are remarkable. When one of the Gracie brothers opened his school in my city, he offered a considerable quantity of money to any local fighter that won him. Then, he beat the first guy that accepted pretty bad, not serious injured but it was not nice. Result: no more challenges, brand exposure, successful marketing.
> That was built by engineers not by designers or by UX guys who do "research"

Except that what Google did was look at existing search engines and think 'how can we differentiate?' and the result was an (originally) ad-free, no links to other services site. They stripped all the bad design from thier industry competitors and left a service in which the new or naive user was in no doubt about what to do there. No distractions, no fiddling, no - anything except full focus on Google Search.

The search results are what you get after you use the search functionality, that those results were good could be argued as secondary to what got users to switch from Yahoo, Ask Geeves etc in the first place.
While I agree with you, chemotherapy is the layperson's only term for most cancer treatment. And make no mistake, advertising is a cancer that needs to be judiciously dealt with.

But this particular meme is derived from the bad old days of /b/ when most threads were spammed with stuff like

>XYZ IS THE CANCER KILLING /b/

>XYZ IS THE CANCER KILLING /b/

>XYZ IS THE CANCER KILLING /b/

I'm happy with advertising. It pays for all the free stuff.

But not magically with free money that just appears when a company decides to buy an advert. Adverts are paid for by businesses that consequently charge a little more for their goods and services, a cost passed directly to you and me. We don't get free services, we get services that we pay for indirectly through other things. Free is a myth.

Given that ads on mobile typically block you from seeing
the content until you've clicked through the ad

In my experience, ads on mobile that don't block you from seeing content are more common than those that do.

I wonder if anyone has any hard data on this.
Or maybe Bezos personality is great for running an online retailer and bad for producing consumer devices.

From personal experience The Kindle Fire is a dreadful device.
There is a benchmark of various web blockers and the testing methodology:

Twitter is buggy
It seems changes made to Twitter today introduced a few glitches for (possibly low-follower) accounts.

Example, http://twitter.com/sitemeer, none of the followers/following links are shown, hovering over the account link also shows 0 followers as well as 0 followees.

Yes it's an ecosystem I want to be healthy.

Many, many software engineers have jobs and many startups exist because there is an advertising ecosystem.

The advertising ecosystem is an inherent part of the capitalist economy. In whose interest is it to kill that?

Apple should stop advertising if it hates advertising so much.
> They've made it clear time and time again that they do not want your personal data

Until they do. Which may or may not happen, but remains an extant problem regardless. Relying on the beneficence of a corporate entity is never a wise decision.
Dan Kaminsky has a great presentation from the latest Defcon a few weeks ago about how ads and other junk on the web eat up a ton of CPU cycles and slow down page rendering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wx2TnaRSGs
If you need a chisel but only have a screwdriver then advice on how to best use it sounds valuable to me.

Even .format() is quite redundant for the "standard" usage, as we had string interpolation using '%' with dicts for a long time.

'{x} blah blah blah {y}'.format(x=x, y=y)
'%(x)s blah blah blah %(y)s'%{'y':y, 'x':x}
I'm happy to view content supported by ads that are not animated, are not hosted or tracked by third parties, are not disguised as normal content, and which do not execute scripts. It's also easy enough to sneak that type of ad past an ad blocker. Win-win.
Really cool technology, I can see many applications.

I would love to see their business case math.
True - and every operating system has these little niggles that are huge annoyances to some people - c.f. the person who switched to Linux because one version of Minesweeper in Windows needs an internet connection.

But if solitaire not being in a window leads one to the conclusion that the solitaire-containing version of Windows is one of the worst desktop operating systems a person has used in the last 10 years - or that it's indicative of a horrible overall user experience... well then I think one is being at best hyperbolic, and at worst complaining about something that would get a person run out of a discussion about any other operating system - after you're given a selection of about a hundred different solitaire programs to try.
