I was working at a bank in the late 90s where for a year all VPs (there were 4000 of them) were allowed to upgrade business class automatically to Concorde if seats were available. Most of them didn't shut up about this, constantly telling people what it was like. It was definitely right up there with neon-lit conspicuous consumption. I think a Ferrari is maybe even marginally less irritating than that.
I wouldn't call it "way less." We spend $32 billion on aid compared to $18 billion for NASA. Those are large numbers but they're not so very different considering the $4 trillion total.
Routers used by most networks are proprietary boxes from specific vendors. There is no such thing as open source software for them.

I do not know of an open source router hardware that is available (at ISP scale)

Getting an X86 box and throwing freebsd and quagga on it might work for small amounts of traffic. But for ISP scale bandwidth your stuck with a few main vendors...
Not sure exactly what you mean.

I both mention that there are European startups and that there are popular european startup founders in the US.

Not really, this same vulnerability would apply to F/OSS. It's just that the users never changed the password from the factory default. The article is sensationalist, but it's not news.
Why you can’t delete native iOS apps from your iPhone
What are you basing this analysis on?
Cisco routers by default and/or after erasing the config a) don't have a default password, b) won't let you log in via telnet if there is no password set, and c) do not have SSH enabled.

N.B.: I'm referring to BFRs running IOS. I have no idea how the SMB series are configured by default.

I don't believe for a second that someone signing away their rights is necessary for company survival. Maybe you as a company leader need to do a better job so you don't come to that point, and if you have, then maybe you aren't fit to run a company.

Could you give some examples of websites where there is some form of ToS that contractually disallows access without viewing the ads?

I think you'll find that the overwhelming majority of websites have no such terms of use, so who are you to tell us how we should be accessing these sites?
In the small, all paradigms are the same.

Counting Impressions.

A different model is needed if the publishers servers have to get the ad first and then give it to the client because the ad server then needs to trust the publisher to report impressions honestly and the publisher has an incentive to inflate that number.

Either make a post on meta about the problem and provide a solution if you have on how to fix it OR make your own SO with your own rules. I'm really tired of seeing these off topic (whining) comments whenever SO comes up. It's useless and doesn't add anything to the discussion here.
ProtoLift – Mobile Prototyping
I think one of Swi-Prolog's great advantages is the large library, especially tools for the semantic web. I have not had any consulting work using Prolog in at least 8 years and don't do much for-fun Prolog programming either. I used to find Prolog especially good for hacking together quick prototypes.

It's not the watermen that I am talking about. Its more the Navy as a research institution. The effects were treated as taboo among the engineers because its a catch 22.

Congress keeps insisting that NASA spend more on the SLS than it wants to, and less on the CCV. Even if we were to fully fund CCV this year it wouldn't be until 2018 or so that we could stop hitching rides with the Russians so I don't think it's fair to say that the CCV and Russian ISS launches are in conflict right now.
Generally ads pay up to an order of magnitude more if there is some level of tracking and targeting available, and that's what most ad blockers target. Paying a bunch of money to show ads to who-knows-who who-knows-how-many-times isn't very valuable. Paying money to show ads to owners of Shitzus that make over $100,000/year is worth $12/click.

I'm pretty certain that as ad blockers grow there will be a lot more work-around (doing the work on the backend and serving up static HTML or a lot more native ads), but ad blockers aren't quite to the level that it's worth it to make those changes.

Serious question - do many people here actually use anything other than Stack Overflow, Server Fault and Power User?

I occasionally get and click on a Google result for the photography stack exchange, but I've rarely clicked on any results for the other Exchange sites for my non-technical searches.
Because advertisers don't trust publishers. They need a third party agency with no immediate interest in the game that could guarantee reliable reporting. For example if the ads are served from the publisher then the advertising network has no way of identifying fake clicks/impressions made by botnets.

I gave up on tmux on my Mac, as I mainly used it with teamocil to have saved layouts of panes and commands, but I never disconnected from it. I found quite a few people use it this way.

I wrote iTermocil[2] to replicate the functionality of teamocil natively in iTerm2, so I could have all the upsides (from my POV) but keep native UI elements etc.

Class Action Lawsuit Accuses Twitter of ‘Listening In’ on Your Direct Messages
Neighborly Raises $5.5M from Formation 8, Ashton Kutcher
I never doubted that pigs are pretty much on par with dogs, but the original poster claimed that pigs are "way smarter," and there isn't any conclusive evidence to support this. I went through that paper and as you mentioned, it just points to the fact that all evidence suggests that pigs are fairly comparable to dogs in intelligence.

One key point about the paper is that we still have an incredibly long way to go in the research of animal intelligence, especially with regards to animals apart from chimps and cetaceans. Even though dogs are so tightly ingrained in human lives, there is still so much that we have yet to understand about their intelligence, even more so with pigs and other animals.

In any case, I think it's silly to prioritize one life over another solely based on intelligence. I consider dogs to be family so eating one would essentially be cannibalism in my book, but I also really value animal lives in general and I would never eat a pig either.

> The US has unquestionably the best university system in the world

A bold assertion. Well-educated Europeans with near-zero debt on graduation might argue otherwise.

Every developed country has long lines of overseas students competing for college places, including very mediocre colleges. It's a route to immigration and not necessarily an endorsement of the university system.

Or investors in Europe have enough opportunities to generate more than the typical return on investment of VC? The average VC ROI is really low, it gets outperformed even by passive index funds IIRC.

Eventually yeah. It's important to note that the content for the channels come youtube. Also you know you can create a Soccer channel of your own and have better content than me if you're better at curating.
To add insult to injury, it also seems to work fine (though I didn't compare to Chrome) if you override the user agent.

I have no idea what you're getting at here. If you mean we should use a Thorium reactor to generate Plutonium then others have explained why that's impossible. If you mean that we should use a Thorium reactor instead of a Plutonium RTG then that also wouldn't work, the smallest reactor is still way heavier than an RTG.
Idea: ad network w/ a daemon the publisher installs in their infrastructure between the users and the content. Maintains a blockchain which verifies exactly how many impressions there have been.
I guess I can always keep rewriting it in every paragraph, but I tried to be up front because I knew some would interpret it like that. This is why I wrote:

Before you read on: This is a complex issue and I don’t claim to have the answers. In fact it’s going to ask more questions than it answers and I wasn’t even sure I wanted to publish it. It’s not even obvious why chasing unicorns is such a good idea.

@SloopJon - I thought the same thing when I looked at this years ago. In fact, many older books/articles mentioned.

I have to resort to SO a couple of times a month, so before SO (and other such) it was 95% the same as it is now.

I probably would have found much more use for it in my first year or so as a programmer, but at least from my own experience, once I had familiarity with my tools and libraries, the kind of problems that require digging on the internet aren't the kind easily put into bite-sized Q&A.

Maybe it's different for people who did start with SO available; perhaps they're saving their cognitive load by outsourcing various snippets of information to SO, and I only internalised them because SO wasn't available.

That said, it IS good for more open-ended historical or state-of-the-art type questions; "why did language X adopt this paradigm?" or "how do people producing commercial software go about supporting multiple graphics hardware today?" kind of questions. If I get lucky, there are a handful of people with a real depth of knowledge who can give a valuable overview and insight, but those are a long way from the typical SO question.

Time is some other thing? It isn't a dimension? How do you do Newtonian physics like that?

As far as extra dimensions being a crutch, I must disagree. Take 6-axis mills for instance. To accurately describe the position of the tool you need six dimensions. That doesn't mean they are particularly strange or wrong, just that they are a little complicated.

By the same token, if we invented a system of analyzing pirouetting ballerinas, it would be useful to have not only the normal 3 euclidian dimensions and time, but perhaps to have a spin dimension so we can compactly describe the ballerina's direction of spin.

Depends on the technology. If you use AIX or DB2, you can often only find answers on other sites, because most of the posters are using more popular open-source / free tech like Linux or MySQL.
The third reason I hear is that the US market is bigger and therefore it’s easier to get traction. Yet there are 503 million Europeans living inside the EU vs. 319 million US living in the US. If the size of the market was any indication of how many unicorns a market could create, Europe would be in the lead. So size of the market alone isn’t an explanation either at least not by comparing the numbers.

I really don't find the EU market to be bigger than the USA market. The US already has tech giants that no other country has (China is starting to have some). So if we are starting from here, the US market is much bigger since it's usually these big/giant companies that drive the VC/Startup market.

The tech industry in the US took the lead. Why? It's complicated to tell. Countries emerge from poverty to richness but there is little correlation how that happens. And if we know how it works, shouldn't we be all rich now?
I have z-wave door locks (Schlage), a ton of zigbee light bulbs (GE and Cree), two wifi garage door openers (Chamberlain), the Nest thermostat and the Nest Protect CO/smoke detector. I used to have some sensors and other security stuff, but it was unreliable compared to a hardwired system, and wasn't worth the effort for me to build my own security system. I sold them off on Amazon Marketplace.

I used to use a Vera hub. It has an ugly, difficult to use UI but exposes an API, and doesn't require going through the internet, which is nice. Once I got tired of tinkering and building my own dashboards (e.g. http://www.dangrossman.info/wp-content/uploads/home2-1024x51...), I just bought a Wink which ties together all of the wifi/zigbee/zwave products in a very nice mobile app that everyone in my home is happy to use. Sold the Vera.

I have a cheap Android tablet mounted on a wall that has it open. My Amazon Echo also connects to Wink, so lights and switches can be voice controlled. IFTTT also has Wink channels.

Frutiger's personality and work are sensitively depicted in two documentaries that are worth watching: "Adrian Frutiger - Typographer" (1999) [0] and "The Man of Black and White: Adrian Frutiger" (2005) [1].

"Just My Type", Simon Garfield's wildly popular book on typefaces, has a chapter titled "What is it about the Swiss?" which has a whole section dedicated to Frutiger. [2]

Frutiger's design philosophy is beautifully reflected in this quote: "If you remember the shape of your spoon at lunch, it has to be the wrong shape. The spoon and the letter are tools; one to take food from the bowl, the other to take information off the page... When it is a good design, the reader has to feel comfortable because the letter is both banal and beautiful."

Edit: Frutiger did a very detailed interview during the 1998 ATypI conference that was published in the graphic design journal, Eye, in 1999 [3]. Long read, but worth it to understand the man and his work.

Linotype has published an excellent obituary [4].

"Adrian Frutiger Typefaces: The Complete Works" is available on amazon.com [5] and amazon.co.uk [6]. A sneak peak is on ISSUU [7].

Inside the Fight for Free Education at Cooper Union
A: Drops 'impressions' as the metric for allocating money for ads. Use something else like clicks which take you to the advertiser's site.
The problem isn't finding people to buy tickets. The problem is finding enough people that want super-expensive transport to repay the costs of an unusually complex airframe and engine development program with virtually no commonality with anything that's been built before. You haven't got an economy class when the premium seats aren't selling with these either, unlike every other airline operation that's ever run a profit, and you've got the risk that if one of these fails due to unanticipated technical issues, the entire programme probably gets junked. Even the time savings don't look that impressive if there's only 1 flight per day, and you can work pretty well in first class on an internet and voice connected modern jumbo.

So far the efforts seem to be mostly government subsidised, which mitigates the commercial viability issues a little. I did a back of an envelope calculation once that suggested the UK government underwrote Concorde's development to the tune of $2000 per passenger per flight in today's dollars, and that was an aircraft with a relatively high degree of overlap with existing technology
Online machinery renting business
I am planning to clone an online machinery renting/leasing and selling business. However the sites like http://www.machinerytrader.com/ are old and I haven't found many competitors. So I'm wondering if there is any problem with this plan. Anyone with experience?
While it is true that scale brings certain advantages, larger companies are not an unalloyed good. For instance:

- larger companies can leverage near-monopoly status to prevent meaningful competition, increase rates, etc. (e.g. Verizon/AT&T/Comcast)

- larger companies can collude to drive the price of labor down. (e.g. tech anti-poaching pact.)

- one large company, by being "more efficient", may in fact employ fewer people than your ten smaller companies combined, especially if they are able to invest in large-scale automation initiatives.

- larger companies have a wider view of your activity, making them a single point of failure for personal privacy. (e.g. national security letters, NSA datacenter tapping.)

To paraphrase the parent comment: just because one company can unite the services of ten doesn't mean that it's beneficial.
I absolutely agree with you.

Currently I have a business where I import used computer and network components from US and sell them in the Norwegian market. (I can import pallets of equipment for less than what the total cost is for local shipping in Norway).

While I do make some money on it, the market in Norway is so small that its just a few sales every week. But it's fun, and I'm learning a lot so I still think its worth it.

I would love to sell to the rest of Europe, but I can't solve the logistic problem of transportation of heavy packages. It's hard enough inside Norway.

Doing business in Europe is hard, you have currency issues, language issues, culture differences and then you have all the bureaucracy. All the paperwork, for every minor detail.. :(
I don't think that's the tragedy of the commons, because there is no "commons." Your website, and your time spent creating content, are not commons in the economic sense. If you want to charge people for your content, it's relatively simple to do so. I don't think you can invoke "tragedy of the commons" when you're choosing to not charge people for your content and then getting upset that some people view your content while choosing to not view ads.
Personal attacks can be anonymous, so that's a red herring. And HN's guidelines may not be laws, but neither are they optional—we ban accounts that violate them repeatedly.

It's not hard to see what kind of discourse we're going for here. What's hard is to stick to it when you're feeling that someone is subpar. On the internet, human biases yield a strong tendency to feel that way about others, and we all need to be disciplined about counteracting it. If you can't or won't take up the task, you're not welcome to comment here.

That doesn't mean you have to abide by it perfectly. I can't, and doubt anyone can. It means that when we slip we need to recognize our error and correct it, not defensively dismiss the information.
Yeah man, screw the users! They're just like customers, they're always the problem! You know, except for the little problem that without customers (or users) the entity either wouldn't exist, or would die.
