So they were caught making TechCrunch not mention the required sign up?

So is that somehow ethically questionable to choose not to take down the login wall? I don't get it. I wouldn't sign in just to check something like this out and think it is probably a foolish obstacle to place in front of their potential users, but I don't get why it is somehow sneaky or whatever.

If they can't survive without advertising then let them die.
Personally I don't see the problem.
The few sites I care about that produce quality stuff (like https://lwn.net/) I pay for and that's just fine. The rest are nice to have (without ads) but if they go away it doesn't really matter - I'll just read something else or (shock, horror) nothing at all - I'm sure my life will continue even if they go under.
Can't honestly say I care a great deal.

Edit: and as I guessed they would; the downvotes now flow in. Seems like people never like to hear that one can just stop using "stuff" and do something else.

>In Czechoslovakia, shortly after the Velvet Revolution, there were many. The justice system didn't understand the new economic system and wasn't capable to deal with cheaters. Our prime minister, Vaclav Klaus, had the opinion - free markets are of primary importance and the justice system is secondary. What happened during the era (before we passed enough laws to be compatible with EU) was just huge "gold rush" of embezzlement.

That's quite interesting, considering the economics literature says that the strength and consistency of the law is a crucial component of making a market economy successful, often more so than the mere number of firms in the marketplace!
I assume you mean property names, because keywords are all over the place and don't have anything to do with colons.

It's just a separator between the two semantic halves of a declaration. It could just be a space, but it wouldn't be quite as obvious. Compare "display block;" to "display:block;"

It wouldn't save characters, either - you can omit spaces around the colon today and have the same number. That is, "display block" and "display:block" are both 13 chars.

There is indeed nothing requiring a colon vs a space, as the grammar is unambiguous either way.
It'll be interesting to see how it pans out. Some sites will play nice. It's easy to imagine buzzfeed just loading their image content from adservers though.
It doesn't work though. Lets say there are 500 lots bid at a price and 700 lots offered at the same price. Which of those 700 lots on the offer gets filled once the 5-second call occurs?

What, exactly, is going to go wrong with this?

I really don't get this, 99% of the stuff you use everyday is closed-source and proprietary. Most often the tradeoff in something bad happening (which has yet to be with Slack) versus having a functional and productive system is more than worth it.

Or do you also build your own computer from raw silicon and communicate with pirated radio signals?
Lutz also recently said he thinks Tesla is in huge trouble and that (I'm going to paraphrase here) "we tried running our own retail locations at bmw and they are much too expensive so they need to get rid of them asap".

He had an excellent run in the motor industry, but now he seems to be sadly outdated on what is happening. So I think we should all be happy to take the opposite side of his position. Which is that huge wrenching changes are coming. And not from the incumbents.
As much as I dislike their attitude, 'caught' is the wrong word here. You get 'caught' doing something that you where trying to hide. You can't hide the fact that you need to register to view videos, so you can't be caught.
Similar to how Fox News reported that there are hundreds of No Go Zones for non-muslims in England and other European countries, going as far as to claim that Birmingham (England's second most populous city) is only visited by Muslims. Patently untrue, but because of how far removed their audience is from the rest of the world it became accepted as fact.
The Rise and Fall of Product Lines
Keep in mind that Sweden, like many european countries, has much stronger social policies than the USA.

In the USA, due to the anemic social care programs for people in dire straits (long-term unemployed, sick, young, old), it is necessary for people to individually save up money to guarantee safety in emergencies. To that end, saving in banks is rewarded with interest rates.

In more social countries though such emergency savings are spread across the entire population in big pots. People saving their money in bank accounts are effectively keeping it out of those pots, and from society at large, which society punishes by making such individual savings volatile.

This is interesting, and I've a few observations:

1) This is going to be used, fast, by the climate change denial camp to show "everything is OK", sad but true.

2) Increased snow and ice build up in the interior, while the ice shelves surrounding the continent disappear, will have unpredictable consequences. It's not necessarily a good thing. The increased mass in the interior will increase the rate of flow out of the centre - which could ultimately hasten thinning.

3) This article doesn't mention it, but the paper itself does - they do compensate for bedrock motion.

Nice science.

Another Swede here. Very silly article indeed.

It's strange, whenever you read about something you know a lot about in a newspaper they will usually get so much wrong that the article actually makes you less knowledgeable about the subject.

Controlled Functional Encryption
Slack is starting to be used as the communication platform at events now as well. Most of the hackathons and conferences I've attended recently have used it and added all of the attendees.

It's worked really nicely for communicating announcements and updates with the added benefit of allowing attendees to socialize before, at, and after the event. It's also really changed how things like mentorship are done [0].

The problem I've had is the lack of any form of SSO. With all the events, FOSS projects, and actual organizations I'm up to 19 Slack accounts. Having to signup and create a new account almost every weekend is getting crazy.

Seems you've only explored failures for the IRC option.

They even have "hack" in the title of their site, like they are hacking it together.
Show HN: Groovli – Jukebox powered by music shared in your social circles
Mostly correct, but one nit to pick: IRC is not 7-bit; you can actually transmit unicode messages on every IRC network I've ever seen. It's also not usually unicode-aware, though, so if you send a message too long, it might get truncated halfway through a codepoint. Many IRC networks prohibit non-ASCII channel names and nicknames to prevent impersonation (e.g. with zero-width spaces).

The rest of what you've said is pretty much true.
I do not doubt you.

But that's not what we were told. Another admin from espernet basically had us kill the project because they said the way Eirc was using the system constituted a "significant load" and "would not scale well". We were growing really fast and proxying maybe 3-10 users per bot connection on average. I think your team came to us with the problem right as we were really exploding with users.

We basically massively scaled back that deployment of a really cool and interesting feature. Because we didn't want to be an undue burden on our gracious hosts. Now you tell me that this was just some admin giving us an exaggeration?

That's a very frustrating detail to learn. Probably not your fault, but thanks for the clarification I guess.

Not quite true- invalid use of lifetimes typically means use-after-free rather than a memory leak (and if you include the standard library, then you can leak memory in safe Rust).

Don't most cities on the East coast have suburbs like this? Philadelphia's Main Line, towns in Boston like Winchester on the Commuter Rail lines. Maybe it is less common in newer cities.

The only problem is towns like this are usually very expensive. They tend to be associated with "Old Money" who used the rail lines to commute from their summer "Country Home" to their city brownstone. The North Shore towns in Chicago like Evanston have very basic single family homes starting close to a million dollars even though some are very old and need expensive maintenance. That may not sound like much to people from the Bay Area, but you can get a 3BR condo in Chicago for under 500 that's large enough for a typical family. It's not really an option for all but the top 10% of earners. I'd rather not have all my cash tied up in real estate, so I'm enjoying city life for now even with 2 kids. Most of my peers are doing the same.

I don't think so, but I think that could be handled on the side of the court, not the side of the exchange. It could certainly be illegal, or at least a disbarrable offense, for a judge to use his or her knowledge for personal gain. Likewise, many of the most flagrant examples of insider trading could be covered under trade secret or contract law, like a CEO shorting his or her company then purposefully sabotaging it.
> It's exactly this kind of attitude that is going to lead to paywalls for virtually every type of content on the Internet.

And...?

Industries where "person who pays for product" is separated from "person who consumes product" tend to have enormous problems because of that. They are inefficient because the consumer doesn't care about price, and they provide bad product because the person paying doesn't care about quality. Perhaps it is indeed time to consider crazy, wacky, out-there alternatives such as paying for content.

How does this punish people that are holding their savings in property instead of a bank account though? Low interest rate policies rather massively encourage placing your cash into property. Which also explains why Sweden has such an extremely bad household income to debt ratio, with among the most over-leveraged households of any nation.

I love the quote from Ed Colligan:

Messrs. Zetsche and Lutz might want to meditate on Palm CEO Ed Colligan’s infelicitous words mocking the newborn iPhone in 2006 [emphasis mine]:

Your comments lead me to believe you have skin in the game because you seem determined to not acknowledge that the value of something is what your customers will pay for it. If they aren't willing to pay for it then it has no value in the market, regardless of the value you've assigned to it.

There's a whole group of companies called "Wireless ISPs" [1] that make extensive use of microwave products from companies like Ubiqti and Mimosa. Depending on the backhaul, you can get gigabit speeds over unlicensed microwave spectrum in many locations. There's a WISP in San Francisco called Monkey Brains that is a really good alternative to Comcast if you have the space for a microwave antenna on your house. [2]

Thanks for the paper!

On classifying testing tools as open/closed, I've been able to use JMeter to simulate open requests against very heavy endpoints [1] by not having individual threads loop, increasing the number of threads and using the ramp-up feature.

I suspect that this wouldn't work for testing something that can handle large amounts of traffic, but there are cases where you can fit a squarish peg into a somewhat round hole.

[1] 100s of ms or seconds of time for endpoints that do a lot of work (both CPU and IO) per request).
Good point, but I think they already have the culture necessary in whatever group is responsible for their CPU design. That's a low-fault tolerance environment, too.

The advantage of the incumbents is that cars, as long as they have to be driven manually, are not entertainment machines and cannot really be entertainment machines. Passengers already have their own phones etc.

Sorry. Re-reading it it does come across that way, and deserves the downvotes.

It wasn't intended that way though - I was genuinely just trying to see if people who'd used the Internet earlier were more aware of things like Boulder pledge. (Turns out several people who had significant involvement in Internet email at the time didn't know about it.)
Viewing a banner ad is a price I'm willing to pay. A full-screen ad designed to be hard to close, or with misleading cues to take you to another site, or with intrusive sounds?

Investing in property gets the money moving on the market, which is also a positive outcome.
Aside from the fact that if you market it as such, it loses literally billions in valuation.

Therein lies the rub. What a consumer receives may be materially different than what investors and the company thinks it should be.
How Do I Learn Functional Programming in Javascript?
Evanston is definitely a suburb. There is a walkable area near the train and university, and some apartments, but there is a lot of single family housing on much larger lots than you'd find in the city. People have big yards, multi-car garages, 1000s of square feet in living space. It's denser than more rural suburbs like Lake Forest or Highland Park, but not very similar to Chicago proper. Even in well-off Chicago neighborhoods with a lot of large houses like Lincoln Park, most are townhouses or rowhomes, and there is a larger mix of condos/apartments.

I barely remember Guru3D, but what I still remember was the full page animated ad for something that made the site completely unusable. It was a while ago, like 8+ years and I remember it being some huge green slime dripping all over and blocking the content and the whole animation ran for like 30 seconds before you could read the page.

I added a rule in my hosts file to not load that ad as it was before client based ad blockers.

But surely this is begging the question? If there were no laws restricting trading wouldn't information that we currently call "inside information" become available at some price? I could easily see some exclusive, high priced news service selling these leaked facts. It would then cause the "true price" of the stock to be found much, much quicker.
> right now, ads serve as a redistribution mechanism

If you wanted to redistribute wealth to the global poor, forcing everyone (poor and not-poor alike) to download massive, useless megabytes of untargeted advertising, malware, and phishing scams is not the most efficient way to do it. This is defending the current broken and destructive ad regime on the basis of a distant third-order effect.

Sea levels are rising 2.6-2.9mm per year.

“The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.”

Complete conjecture, but my money is on IPCCs estimates for other sources being a little too conservative, not some entirely new explanation.
