Any time I read this type of article, I keep recalling what irritated the hell out of me with the Snowden leaks and responses of US citizens. To paraphrase: "It's terrible they're spying on US citizens (but everyone else is fair game, geez, whack a splicer in that fibre channel asap)".

The US has reinvented the concept of borderlines on the Internet with what the NSA/TLAs have been up to. I'd say that's a distinct step backwards.

For a band member or solo performer, it must be grim to sit contemplating an album which you yourself know is no good, and is likely to be career-wounding, but which you'll more or less have to release anyway for contractual reasons or for the money.
Yes this is a major problem. Early in the life of a lot of websites you'll see user complaining about the use of auto-playing audio ads, or stupidly laggy flash video ads.

When the administrator has no clue whats being shown on their webpage. That in and of itself is a huge issue that ad companies are non-to-eager to address.
If they couldn't get revenue from adverts my guess is the content industry would come up with a solution to this pretty quickly.
Perhaps some distinction between domains could be made.

The law should/could be interpreted in a way so that a website belongs only on a certain domain. Then access outside of it would be uninvited?
Oh come on. As if governments all over the EU weren't monitoring their people as best they can, just like the US does.

In theory, they might bicker a bit behind the scenes over who gets access to what data etc, but it's also in their self-interest to co-operate in their spying activities.

It's all about maintaining their rule over the masses, after all, and that's a goal they all share.
My problem with ads is they try and sell me things I don't need.

Having a lack of money usually means you have a lack of time as well. Buying (say) boots because your only other pair of boots has broken does not afford you the same oppertiunity to be picky. Perhaps you will need boots before a certain time, say to go to work. You probably don't have the disposable income to buy boots before the point where you need them. This means you don't have the same freedom to research this long lasting reasonably priced stuff even if you do happen to have the budget to reach that minimum price you are talking about.

Not working for me either, on chrome/mac.

Where are you getting the data from?
As I said, I have given this 10 minutes of thought. Obviously if someone is getting paid per click, they are a) going to display the ad and b) they will only get paid when a user clicks through, and of course once the user has been redirected to the network's servers, they can do all the tracking things they normally do. This model probably wouldn't work for publishers that are paid purely on CPM's (though there may be a solution that I'm not thinking of at 6am).
No, this was a unique header name, X-offlineimap-????; not a value. My understanding is the DB table was a list of unique header names.
That's downandout's point. Don't use that method...use a proxy so it appears that the content (ads) come from the company's website.
http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/time/gps/usno-gps-time-transfe... says: "The GPS epoch is 0000 UT (midnight) on January 6, 1980."

So no, gps time is not defined before 1980.

Loading doesn't matter as much as display does. You pretty much have to alter the DOM to show your ad, and we already have the ability to mess with the DOM.
I understand your desire for hard data, and I'll admit I doubt it's there. However it's not that much of a stretch to follow from "babies survive better when people are watching them" to "it's easier to watch a baby when there are multiple people taking care of it" to "it doesn't have to be people, necessarily" to "what if sensors could do it" to "babies live longer because sensors are watching them when humans might not be".

Completely pulling numbers out of my ass for sake of argument, for every 1000 babies that survive just fine without baby monitors, there might be one or two that didn't, because mom and dad stepped away and didn't notice the kid stop breathing. Really, people survived just fine without seat belts. We kept enough of the population to survive and even thrive as a species even in incredibly dangerous cars. But now that we have them and we recognize their value, would we go back?
A stock market crash is coming either way. Why? Because nothing has been fixed since 2008, the official US unemployment rate is a sham, and so on.
This defines market making as HFT, and while many HFTs make markets not all market makers are HFT. You can, using absolutely no knowledge of an underlying stock and the mathematical skills of a bright ten year old, make markets manually.

In 2015, if you do it in a highly-traded U.S. equity, you probably will not have a great risk-adjusted return because your bright ten year old is in all ways worse at this task than a computer is, but it is very doable.

To the extent that HFT is more meaningful than Big Data ("trading that I don't like and data I think is valuable, respectively!"), it had to include some element of Very Frequent, Very Fast. How fast? Like "the speed of light is literally a logistical challenge fast." If you see an order in Chicago and make an order in Tokyo a second later, no matter what your rationale is, you are not doing HFT. That's just T. Got a model of the mind of your counterparty? Oh, welcome to T. Observed a correlation in an ETF and its underlying stocks and using it to trade with 1,000 times a minute? Wow, such impressive T!
I doubt these images really did all that much for people who wanted a set of TSA keys. The locks themselves are widely available and it's easy to reverse engineer a key if you have the lock (especially multiple copies of the lock to destroy and test on).

If the site offered functionality I needed, or liked the answer is yes. Services like Patreon are great for this model. Where I can just throw $2-3 USD per month at artists or projects I want to continue making new things.

The challenge is you the creator needs to make a service or tool that I actually want, need, or of such exemplary quality that I feel obligated to help see it continue existing. This isn't a new daring model of funding, NPR/PBS/FSF have done this for decades.
Not only is this another impressive demonstration of incompetence, but by disseminating the idea that people's luggage could be “secure” and “backdoored” at the same time, they're actually destroying what security has existed before. They should pivot to be the “Transport Endangerment Agency”.
I don't even see that he did bring patents in at all. It seems to be a total non-sequitur. The argument is entirely about branding. How does "...and it happens to be patented" change anything about how the quality of the secondhand product reflects on the brand?

Hey, this is a very radical approach. I have great respect for people who ship something (anything!), because they have the vision to see things differently and actually execute this vision.

> you're obviously going to want to trade FIRST on those fundamentals .. right? Cause whoever does is going to win the day

If you're only trading long term, then sub-second differences are essentially irrelevant.

I think there's a perfectly reasonable point here. Fundamentals as "trading against the future profit of the company". HFT as "trading against the system".

Holy crap no. I just traded in a CTS Coupe. I got it because of style and wanted a change from the previous 2 BMW's. I got rid of it because in every aspect the Cadillac was inferior to the BMW's.

Goosepp: C++11 HTML Content Extractor
There are a variety of ways to look for jobs. Online, there are niche and broad job boards, such as Stackoverflow or Monster (I'm not sure if Monster is as big outside of the UK, but here it's one of the big players).

There are broad job aggregators/search engines, which centralise content from various sources, such as Indeed or Adzuna (disclaimer, I work at Adzuna).

There are other niche communities, like the who's hiring thread here.

You have some of the newer services, like hired.com and workshape.io, which attempt to make the process easier but usually for a specific niche.

You can add your profile to CV databases such as LinkedIn, where recruiters search for particular skills and then send out messages to potential candidates.

Then there are things in the real world, like recruitment consultants who will help to find you a job, job markets and fairs, postings and listings in various publications, networking events and meetups.

Any of the above could work for you and there are probably a whole bunch of other avenues I've forgotten.

What I would actually suggest (particularly for tech roles) is that you look at the companies or the top companies in the industry you would like to work in and start researching to see which are appropriate and if they are hiring, how that process works and if you have any contacts who can help. Make a shortlist of companies/roles and start contacting them.

Why responsive web design is the game changer
It could do with providing some useful information when no results are found, and why it might not have returned any results (available regions, what is a "band", what is a "venue"). At the moment, when there are no results, the first thing you see is "How it works". This immediately prompts the thought "It doesn't".

I entered a date range of 1st August to 30th November. In the town, there was a major music festival at the end of August, and a currently popular band will be playing in the town's biggest theatre at the end of November.

I then tried London. apparently, for those four months, there are no bands playing in any venue in London, I even tried Wembley Arena.

The city box autocompleted both of my attempts, which led me to assume that they were valid places in your database. You might consider restricting that autocomplete to only allow places that have events you know about.

I'll just add one word to Jordi's sentence: "just give me a way to _conveniently_ give you that money directly". Like you can't ask people to encrypt their email if it makes their life harder, you can't expect website users to go through repeated hoops for the sake of properly remunerating a website. It's just too much of a hassle, the easy option (installing an ad-blocker) will win.

I will neither make the effort to click the "Donate" link on each site I visit, but what if we could dedicate a Flattr/Patreon-like monthly amount to supporting websites? It could be:

- Slowly drained during the month, or split at the end of the month in proportion of the visits.

- Done by the ISP? It would probably be the least privacy-invasive option, since they are already being trusted with knowing what my usage is. Imagine your ISP usage dashboard greeting you with "You're on a 2MB unlimited ADSL line, for 40 $/month. You are also choosing to pay 10 $/month for proportional website remuneration, which currently will go to these sites: <pie chart showing my money split>. Websites frequently visited but not appearing here might not be part of ProportionalMonetizationPlatform, or be paid apps that you remunerate directly."

The response of most US citizens has been, "Snowden?"

But then there are plenty of people on HN who should know better who are outraged, OUTRAGED to discover the US is spying on people, but seem to have no issues with their own and other governments spying on them. So it's ignorance and hypocrisy all-round.
I work in the healthcare industry and have a good friend who works at a major hospital. You know what I've learned?

Hospitals have no clue what it costs them to serve an individual patient.

The lowest level where they understand costs is at the service level (e.g. ER, cardiac lab, stroke center). It's one of the reasons why you see all the wonky prices from hospitals: they just "create" prices for individual procedures until it covers their aggregate costs. It doesn't really matter to the hospital if procedure A is $1K and procedure B is $5K. As long as Arate + Brate > costs, they are fine with it.
Cool, low budget hack requiring almost no additional hardware! The author states that "the signal is too strong for our input and goes off-scale, making it almost impossible to reliably detect pedal press/release events". Since the two waveforms are visually quite distinct, it is probably possible to correlate the incoming signal with reference on and off waveforms to detect a state change reliably without using hand-crafted heuristics.

Interesting concept: a centralized content micropayment service. You pay in ten bucks a month, a little gets taken out every time you visit various sites.

I like it. Not sure how to get enough vendor participation, though. I imagine the way to go would be to pair up with one of the large ad networks -- you could even work it where if you pay, the ads don't come. If you're not in the system, you get ad-ed like everybody else.
It doesn't affect security, they're already in browsers' trust stores. It does affect availability, but only because (the last time I checked) WoSign's OCSP responders operated from China only. To address network latency issues with your users located far away, make sure you have OCSP stapling configured on your servers.

I love eigenvectors. For me, the rest of linear felt like a bunch of rote rules and algorithms for figuring out vaguely-interesting stuff. And then suddenly I find out that there's this amazingly non-obvious but remarkably powerful structure hidden inside matrices that I'd never even been aware of before.

Quantum mechanics is a huge application of eigenvectors, but I also really enjoy things like the "moment of inertia tensor", whose eigenvectors are the natural axes of rotation. Or better still, coupled oscillators, where the eigenvectors give "normal modes" of vibration. (And if you look at coupled first-order differential equations, eigenvectors can tell you all sorts of things about "trajectories" of the solutions. There are great applications of that to things like population dynamics in biology.)
startssl covers the cost of their labor, not the cost of a 'license' to use the certificate. Their cost is validating your identity, which is a one time thing. They call you, ask a few questions and that's it. 10 minutes of their and your time. After that you are entitled to create as many certificates as you want. There's one caveat: the validation is only for one year, you have to renew it when your certificates are about to expire. Even if you have just one domain, it's cheaper than the alternatives. If you have multiple domains, startssl is much cheaper.

I don't disagree with you here, but, on the other hand, parasitic trading [1] is a concept that's existed in market microstructure books for ages, since before HFT. It is not clear to me why this happens, but the concepts of parasitic trading and high-frequency trading seem to be mixed up quite often, even though they are strictly speaking orthogonal to each other. It should still be possible to argue against parasitic trading that also happens to be high-frequency.

I dunno, for me the thing which stands out when you look at the profiles is that the design of E21 screams "late seventies model", the E30 is very much an eighties design, whereas the more recent models' designs just say "designed in the nineties or some time since then", and I think that slowing in the evolution of design trends is the case for most marques.

If you hid the badges on the side profile of the F30 and told me it was a Japanese car from 1998, I'd probably believe you, but conversely if a rebadged E46 were launched tomorrow, nobody would accuse it of looking "dated".
