So the director Schneider found the script "fairly baffling when not downright inscrutable" and "loved it even when [he] wasn't completely sure what Sam meant."

But "Schneider supposedly considered Keaton not smart enough to get what Beckett was up to."

Fun.

Though it seems to me that Keaton was clever enough to stage a little Beckett-esque drama when first meeting the playwright.

Ask HN: Zoho mail custom domain and alternatives
I was unable to find the answer on their FAQ, SO and forums (only vague information).

Basically I don't want any of my e-mails to be hosted by Zoho, just use it as POP/SMTP server that I call from Gmail. I have this setup working but with a few problems:

- After I send an e-mail a copy is stored on Zoho's SENT folder. I don't want that.

- All the e-mails I received are still appearing on the TRASH folder, they should just disappear. Or I might hit the quota if I don't manually erase the emails every now and then.

Yes, the option "Delete emails from the Server, when POP client issues a Delete command" is checked.

How do you manage? Is there a better option than Zoho? I can't afford $50 a year per user right now (it actually costs me about 3 times that after taxes since Google doesn't accept my local currency, same thing for the other options I found).

I'm worried about my e-mails getting on the spam folder and that's why I didn't considered Pawnmail.

I only need 2 or 3 e-mail accounts.
> If you had a plugin that simply blanked the entire page if it contained advertising you'd be acting in a principled fashion aligned with your preferences. As it is you want to have your cake and eat it too. It may be legal and technically possible, but isn't ethical.

What you're saying here is that, if you don't like advertising, your only ethical option is to never use the Web again. (Well, I suppose I can read the comments on Hacker News. None of the articles, though.) That is not reasonable. I have actually gone out of my way to configure my adblocker to un-block as many inoffensive ad providers as possible, because I want to support the sites I use, but when those sites are knowingly degrading not just my browsing experience but the functioning of my computer, measures need to be taken.

Because there weren't any new models yet. Which is why the downloaders wanted people to come up with one.

The problem fundamentally really is that too many people are trying to say the same thing and so it becomes a commodity that can only be countered by attracting huge number of visitors to your specific site and bombard them with adds.

Forfeit?
I've been on a high fat, low/no carb diet for 5 months and lost an average of 12.5 pounds a month on it. My exercise regime has not really taken hold as well as getting on the diet.

Besides the weight loss (and I still have a ways to go) I've experienced:

-- A lot less desire to eat. Sometimes I just eat one meal a day because I'm no longer hungry all the time.

-- More energy. Part of this is having the muscles developed for a heavier body but carrying around a smaller one... but since I sometimes eat a few carbs or have an off meal for whatever reason, I can tie those carb meals to lower energy levels more directly.

-- Better mood. My outlook and mood is much better... my self esteem hasn't changed (I've always been happy with how I looked and liked myself, so I'm not loosing weight because I feel bad.) .... but I'm much more in control of my mental state, if that makes sense, and I'm more motivated and focused.

I don't know about fat, but I will say this-- for the past week I've been eating hamburgers (no bun) so just meat cheese, tomatoes and lettuce with the occasional grilled onions etc. And I feel great.

downsides:
Early on I was not getting enough salt! Also I have started using lite salt to get my potassium up and eating a spinach dish (with cream cheese, it tastes great) to get magnesium up. And I'm taking supplements... but I don't seem to need them. When I go a week without them I'm still fine.

However, I am doing 4 diets:
-- Intermittant fasting, 18-23 hours between meals
-- Portion control (easy when you aren't hungry)
-- Lower calories (a consequence of portion control and lower appetite.)
-- LCHF -- I believe in ketosis, it works for me.

These work in combo, and the days where I am better at IF I lose more weight than the days where I spread my meals out... and I've never limited myself on how much or how often I can eat (EG: I have a small portion of protein and fat, but I can do it again if I'm still hungry after finishing it.)

Easiest, most fun, and by far the most successful diet I've experienced.
Put some consumption taxes in place and not only do I not begrudge the ultra rich their toys, I'm happy to bend the rules a little bit to enable it.

For example, want to waive the height restrictions so you can have airplane view so of Manhattan from your $100M penthouse? Sure, no problem. Want to pay the same property taxes as a $3 million apartment? That's a horse of a different color.
One thing is for certain, publishers aren't using cohorts for how browser-breaking advertising is influencing their user retention and overall revenue. Fuck, some of the JS just for news site UI makes it clear no one is even testing their mobile sites on an actual mobile device.

If the ad block rate gets high enough, and if the CPMs do not increase in the face of dwindling supply, publishers will just make content available only in their own apps. Fake crises averted, things change, markets and businesses adapt.
Interesting. I'm gonna read this at our poetry gathering in Kunming, China this evening maybe along with some translations from original texts on theistic views of intoxicants. Should make for some fun discussion.
I was gonna say this makes me realized just how aerodynamically inefficient a regular bike is, but then I found out that the world record of cycling on flat surface is actually 83.13 mph [0], which is actually pretty close to this. Assuming the rider is also top notch, I guess the benefit from optimizations done on aero isn't much larger than the weight added.

He said at the very beginning of the article that it is no longer a legal move. I don't know why you are surprised to find out that the move isn't legal now. But it has nothing to do with "flipping over the board". It's a perfectly reasonable seeming move.
Yes but it's not general purpose. If you look you will find examples but they are all rather specific to hardware and usually also to the application running on top of the microkernel. I don't believe there is a Linux/Minix style "interactive userland" available at this time, and Genode while useful to begin building one, lacks the ability to just provide one "out of the box" on seL4.

There's a great short book called 'Who moved my Cheese?' which tackles the impermanence of any particular means of income stream.

Putting aside the morality/ethics discussion for a moment, it seems to me that the 'cheese' is moving for content publishers and so they are left with a choice, change and find new cheese - or stay and starve. Either way, the current gnashing of teeth will have little effect.
There's basic genetic tests which can tell you if you can't metabolize a certain nutrient as well as others and things like that. They also probably change depending on your current lifestyle and stress levels, to add further complexity.

I suspect common reasons for taking on a low-level management role include a) developer burn-out, time to move up and not have to code all the time; b) desire for more power (whether for egotistical reasons or in the hope of effecting positive change in a position of power); and c) a stepping stone to further levels of management where the salary upgrade actually becomes tangible.

I don't disdain competent developers who move up, I just personally don't understand it - yet. I imagine the time will come where I've had my fill of programming. Even if I don't burn out, I expect I will reach that age where I begin to feel that younger developers and management are dismissive of my abilities, and it will be the only escape into a role where I can earn back some respect. :)

> That's not a good idea.

Agreed. If auto makers face the risk of significant fines and/or penalties they will have to spend more on compliance. The worst thing for innovation is to create an environment where engineers are effectively being managed by lawyers and accountants.
> A more accurate phrasing would be to say that the original sin of the web was to disconnect the value of ads from the users experience on the page. The data is clear: the better the user experience => the more attention you can capture while an ad may be in view => the greater impact on recall and recognition. Ad-supported pages that prioritise user experience are more effective, but we set up our systems to care about page loads not performance.

I'm curious why, in all the outrage and handwringing about ad blockers and the future of the Web, nobody ever seriously suggests making ads less annoying.

We don't need a new monetization model. We need content providers, and by extension advertising providers, to refuse to carry ads that are wildly intrusive, CPU-intensive, or outright fraudulent ("one weird trick"). Seriously, why are major national news outlets carrying advertisements that are as sketchy as those X-Ray Specs ads from old Boy's Life magazines?

Sorry content makers, you don't have the rights to resell my eyeballs. I truly am sorry that for many of you this represents a loss of what would otherwise be an easy income stream, but I will apologize for blocking ads no more than I would for unsubscribing from spam/newsletters or for not clicking ads or buying advertised goods, which is to say, not at all.

Much like newspapers, you've hitched your wagons to problematic revenue streams. I wish it were easier, but as content creators you are also businesses, and you need to work on better ways to support yourselves. That's your responsibility, not mine. I do support content creators directly quite often and quite a lot in many different ways (merch, crowdfunding, direct support such as patreon, volunteer labour, etc). If you can't survive in a world full of "me"s, well I suspect you weren't trying very hard.
Rust compiles to LLVM IR, which is better than compiling to C++ (for reasons I've elaborated on before).

> There has to be a better way to finance the web

There is not. There are, however, many even worse ways to finance the web, as the article says.

Money has to come from somewhere. Either you the reader pay for content--which users have proven overwhelmingly unwilling to do--or your advertising views pay for content. I don't like it either, but polite, non-disruptive ads are the best possible solution. We need to push content and advertising provides to insult on those and only those.

What's wrong with some tax breaks for old classic cars to keep them on the road? They're part of the modern design language and aesthetic and just as important as any important architecture. If you see road/fuel taxes as a cost of using the public road network then providing lower taxes to vehicles who barely drive 500 miles in a year is hardly a burden given the benefit that seeing old classic cars brings to people. Besides, the majority of people driving old cars (even old ferraris) are not mega wealthy but people on more regular incomes who are dedicated to their hobby.

Putting any type of barrier in front of wealthy people spending on this type of technology is a net lose for us all. A private SST would not be built by exploiting workers or robbing pension funds.

It's true that user fees - gas taxes and tolls - for motor vehicle drivers in the US pay far less than the costs of the roads they use. I think it's roughly 50%.

However, assuming that by "electrification of mobility" you mean "everybody who's driving their own car keeps driving their own car, only it's electric rather than gas-powered", then I believe you're looking at it all wrong. In cities where people increasingly live, single-person cars have huge negative externalities aside from fossil fuel consumption, starting with congestion and moving on to over-building of parking, road deaths, sprawl, etc. Electric cars won't solve all of these, and neither will self-driving cars, or self-driving electric cars.

Instead, what we need for mobility in cities is better land use, with dense areas or corridors, safe walking and bicycling infrastructure, frequent and convenient mass transit, and congestion charging.

Do all that and you'll have real mobility fixes.
