Maybe with nothing? There isn't some god-given requirement for there to be all these reviews about 3D cards. If readers refuse to receive ads and refuse to pay, then the site will go out of business and the content will go away. That's honestly fine - if people won't pay in time or by viewing ads, the content is simply not valuable enough to enough people for it to exist.

Less content is not the end of the world. Probably some hobbyist will spend his own time and money to publish it in some form anyway. Or Guru3D will find some other way to survive? They've added a donation link - maybe people will be happy to pay after all.
More specifically, large businesses are accountable to owners with sufficiently large stakes.

I'm not sure I'd put much stock in the linked mail-tester. It has a very incomplete SPF implementation that'll heavily penalise perfectly valid records.

(eg, my record is simply "mx -all". So if a host is listed as an MX for my domain, it's also a valid sender. mail-tester doesn't appear to understand 'a' or 'mx' entries, so fails this entirely.)

It's sad. But the only thing that can be done is work on an actual protocol that will solve these problems. It's a big burden to bear, and more often than not, building something that will bear such a burden just kills it outright (cf... xmpp.)
Slack is awesome. It's way better than IRC in many ways. But I agree with the OP. Please don't use it for FOSS projects, use it for your company or other private use cases. But FOSS projects an communities require open tools. Slack won't save your history unless you pay for the service. The pricing is per user which makes it very bad for a FOSS community.
the real issue is the pages are getting slower when ads are served. it is really annoying.
I'm digging into Android Wear and writing an app. It's nice but it needs a lot of boilerplate code to set up communication between mobile and wear. Once set up and understood it's pretty straightforward
This seems to be trying to redefine humility.

To me, what they are describing sounds more like authenticity vs inauthenticity, or honesty vs dishonesty, than it sounds like humility vs pride.
Just FYI, this article is spread over multiple pages. It has 5 pages. Based on reading HN comments, my guess is that most HN readers might be making comments only after reading page 1. The article is about Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and not just about Evanston though it uses Evanston as case study. The article also touches other area of Chicago, a city in Brazil, a research study in King County, Washington, etc.

Haha seriously. "Engineering trade-offs exist. A new theory by my startup. (Buy my product)"
Up until very recently Slack had spent essentially nothing on marketing. It spread because, in the words of pg, they built something people want.
this is interesting from a data recovery viewpoint. recently, i had a card die with some photos i wanted to recover. I wrote my own recovery, but it was unable to get all the photos.

Turned out data i knew should be there was not on the card, insofar as the processor was telling me. It's likely that, if a lower level access could be achieved, i might have been able to recover the lost data.
Sure, but a reputable buyer's agent should (in theory) make sure the buyer pays the lowest possible price. A reputable seller's agent should (in theory) make sure the seller gets the maximum possible price.

Of course the buyer's agent commission actually works against this, and the sellers commission is not very swayed by $10k purchase price one way or the other, see http://freakonomics.com/2008/02/26/real-estate-agents-revisi...

But - saying both agents have the same goal is not exactly fair.
Other languages have the pipe operator as well, actually. As far as I know, these were introduced from F#, which has had the same |> operator (along with the analogous <|) since before Elixir existed.
There are more oddities like that:

The government of the state of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany uses for most official websites the domain .sh, which actually belongs to Saint Helena.

At this point almost all domains on .sh actually belong to companies or governmental entities in Schleswig-Holstein, the remaining domains mostly belong to geeks using it due to the similarity to the file ending .sh for shell files.

Examples:

- http://www.nah.sh/ (Official transit agency)

- http://www.studentenwerk.sh/ (Official Student Service Agency, operates dormitories, etc)

- https://www.wir-bewegen.sh/ (Kickstarter for public projects, operated by the government; one example is "a 3D model of the city for blind people as map, publicly accessible next to the train station")

Many more such cases exist all around the world, it is... weird.

Contract negotiation is kind of like a distributed version control problem, where each party maintains their own private internal revision stack and occasionally publishes versions out to the "main" branch (frequently hoping those changes don't get noticed). The crew at ClearContract [0] have built a pretty slick system for managing this kind of "adversarial version control" environments.

I'm sure that the Soviets regularly found something in our newspapers that upset their sensibilities. Our grandparents should have demanded better justifications for the radical changes made to our nation.
I agree, that narrow viewpoint of fairness would increase. But wouldn't the general perception of fairness decrease? I mean, all those Edward D. Jones strip mall and small town stockbrokers would probably loose business because of the perception that only bigtime Wall Street insiders can actually catch good deals.

Of course, the sleazier Edward D. Jones strip mall and small town stockbrokers would probably increase their own profitably in the short term by lying to customers about having insider info. It would work until the gullible customers were tapped out.

This does not take into account the security aspect. With the modern world being what it is one should be careful the code running on one's systems is from trusted sources. Adverts on the modern web violate this principle.
I disabled uBlock Origin and decided to see what ads they have on their site. Pretty much all of them were retargeting sites or products I'd looked at before, but had no intention of buying.

Only one was really relevant to their site, which was a gaming keyboard. The same screen real estate could be used to to link to their articles and reviews of products from their sponsors, which would be a lot more relevant and actually provide value to the reader.

Oh and whatever uBlock Origin blocks, made scrolling really laggy when it was enabled. I think I'll stick to using it thanks.
I think the main trouble I'm having with your argument is the idea of it "harming" someone. While that seems to perhaps be true in the most technical sense, I'm not sure it's a sufficient argument for banning insider trading. After all, many things which harm people are not generally considered to be bad. For instance, if someone opens a restaurant Ina town, and runs the restaurant very efficient while offering a high quality product, that could absolutely harm other competing restaurant owners. And yet most people do not condemn the practice of opening a restaurant and operating it well.

alright, then replace "marketing" with "pretty pictures and rounded corners".
In Germany, for instance, if you fail to advertise important clauses correctly, the contract may void. This is often applied in cases like "download sites" which allow you to download Firefox and likes for free - but in the contract you sign up for some kind of subscription for 4.99 Euros a month.

Edit: abonnement -> subscription, thanks to @taejo.
Couldn't agree more. How to display content should be an absolute final decision on the part of the user. Adverts hijack hardware, bandwidth, screen space, electricity, and time, which belong to the user, not the advertiser or the site. Using adverts to make money is unethical, so I hope this site can change its business model successfully.
This question has always appeared to me as academic, with little or no real-world relevance.

If your service manager process were to crash, what are you going to do about it?

If you restart the service manager, it won't know what state the system is in, which services are running and which are not, which services were running at the time when it crashed but then stopped just before it restarted, etc.

How are you going to do that in a race-free and reliable way that is actually better in practice than the alternative (reboot)?

And if your service manager is a single point of failure, it doesn't matter much which PID it's running it, it has to be perfectly reliable anyway (just like the kernel).
My guess is that he wanted substantially similar terms, except for a few modifications. It's far easier to modify the existing contract than to write up an entire new one in that case. The other party still has the right of refusal. If they still do not wish to sign the contract after reading it, that is a choice available to them. If they choose to sign the contract without reading it...well...many people are bad at contracts...not the least of whom, are often banks.
There have been plenty of very nice looking IRC clients over the years.
This is really interesting, Rust is also moving to a similar system, though we have two:

AST -> HIR -> MIR -> LLVM IR -> binary

The higher-level IR and mid-level IR are being introduced for the same reasons as this presentation, basically. It looks like SIL is closer to MIR.

MIR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1211-mir....

Unfortunately, there's little correlation between the number of users joined to a channel and its communication volume. My experience is that the amount of actual communication in IRC tends to be low; many channels have a large user contingent that's simply silently parked there in some dormant screen or tmux session.

> If IRC were good enough to handle the needs of small software company communication, people would use IRC. Sitting here pretending everyone just doesn't know about a 20+ year old technology is comical.

I'd just like to point out that this argument ("if <x> were so great, everyone would already use/do <x>") is just a slightly different form of the ancient appeal to popularity argument and is entirely fallacious.
Why does borrowing money in any way diminish the positive effect of making the stock price more reliable?

And how does the incentive to lie to other traders apply only to insider trading? It seems like that would always apply to all trading.

We could have an ad API where browsers could make it impossible for ads to have certain things that users don't like (for me, anything animated or which interrupts the flow) and in return ad-block software could allow ads through the new API. It could be made to work with older browsers by having a tag that ad-api browsers recognized as render this ad in this element, rather than its content and which older browsers skipped. Make the API tight enough and it won't be a CPU issue, it won't be any more a security risk than browsing any old site that is able to serve you pictures.

I doubt privacy is salvable, and I wouldn't want ads that didn't know what I was interested in to show up at all, since those universually suck.
Hilarious that this receives any downvotes.
It seems a shame that all these different users of LLVM are having to do their own IR. Tools like RPython and Truffle don't seem to need language-specific IRs to perform well. Why does LLVM? Could it at least be made into a single shared LLVM-IR project?

> It's good for the majority of publishers if they accept it as their preferred solution as you wrote. Unless you think they ought to be driven by other motives than making sound business decisions - like cruelty or whatever you were trying to insinuate with your slanted rhetoric.

Perhaps my rhetoric is slanted, but yours is fully bent. When only one solution eventually exists, it doesn't make it the preferred solution, it makes it the nuclear option. Quit spouting nonsense about cruelty. I'm suggesting that advertising-supported businesses are eventually going to have one remaining option. That isn't slanted rhetoric. That's common sense.

Unless of course we come up with a completely new way for content creators to earn a living with their content outside of charging for it, or using advertising for it. Because new forms of compensation in exchange for content are popping up all the time.

> Well, go ahead and use it then. What's holding you back? Altruism and the urge to save users from the consequences of their personal choices? Oh, please...

I'm starting to believe you are just putting words together so you sound smart. No one is going to change to paywalls until every has to. Until then the middle of the pack is going to continue fighting for scraps while the giants in the industry (Google, Facebook, Microsoft) continue to profit on the sheer mass of their user base, and hedging their bets with non-advertising products.

But you keep spouting pseudo-Socratic arguments about how "nothing is stopping us" from moving to a model nobody wants but the end-user is steadily preventing any other alternative.
In fact it only works for small sites. Big sites will get on the default blocklist right away.
Add Your GitHub Project to the Structor Market
From now the source code of all boilerplates which are presented on Structor Market http://helmetrex.com are located on GitHub.

Consequently, you can add to the market the reference of your own Structor compatible boilerplate which exists on GitHub. To do that you have to visit Structor Market http://helmetrex.com and enter the name of repository into the add form.

The source code has to be compatible with Structor, to see examples of compatible repositories just visit any of already presented boilerplates.

Also please note, in order to have a good looking thumbnail of your project on the market add 'screenshot.png' file with screen shot of the Structor's workspace with your project open.

We appreciate your contribution to the market.
> If you have a single person that is even slightly technical, it should be trivial to set up your own IRC server, and then you get complete control over all of your own information.

I'm "slightly" technical and I have absolutely no interest in setting up an IRC server for my project or company. That's time better spent on developing our offerings. While I have no doubt I could set up a server, I also have no doubt that setting it up and maintaining it would drain time unnecessarily.

It's the same reason that I don't advocate for most people to maintain their own servers in 2015.
You are right in your assumption. § 259 requires intent. Usual interpretation is that the offender needs to know the fact that the good was somehow acquired illegally (but doesn't need to know any details). It's not enough to think of a possibility of such an action, they have to resign to the fact. (There are other obligatory characteristics that need to be fulfilled, but they are irrelevant to this discussion.)

Simply handling stolen goods is not a criminal offence in Germany.
> The main reason ad-blockers exist is because fools with decision-making powers and no critical-thinking skills decided to make ads obtrusive.

I remember differently, when ads started to appear on the web, it was promptly followed by adblocking. Actual reason was to block ads.
NFL LiveUpdate – real-time streaming scoring updates on Twitter NFL_LiveUpdate
My answer was to your question:

"What header does your browser send to my server informing me that you are blocking ads so that I know to deny you my content?"

1. "Did you just make it up?" -> No.

2. "Which ad blockers provide for that header being sent?" -> Use a plugin in Firefox to set custom headers

3. Do website honor my header? -> Not yet.
You are probably a middle-class caucasian male from a western country. I can make that assumption because this willingness to pay that you're talking about cannot be a reality for the poor or for citizens of underdeveloped countries, or in other words ... the majority.
Most U.S. English speakers should be able to tolerate dialectal variants on some words and meanings, and maybe even have a passing familiarity with some idioms and slang. I generally think sports metaphors should be out in international forums, and I'm not even sure they should generally be assumed in local forums either (I don't even have a passing interest in most sportsballs and sometimes have trouble following references even to U.S. local sports).

Good points on the opposite meaning idioms.

Perhaps the most right way to deal with things is to just use the number, or use scientific notation?
Just to add further explanation, it's the same reason we write naïve: to hint it is to be pronounced /na-yeev/, not /neivə/.
Lets give a quasi specific example maybe..

lets say you have service X, is your ApiService 1.2, and it's in production.

Lets say you have machine 1 and machine 2, both running ApiService 1.2

In puppet, you could use hiera to know what version of ApiService a machine should have. You can use mcollective to interrogate these machines to verify that puppet successfully installed ApiService 1.2 on these machines.

Now, to answer the question "can i deploy ApiService 1.3 on machine 1", I think that that would be best answered by testing this in a development/staging environment with another machine that is not serving mission critical traffic.

Here you would do the testing you need, and ensure it works, both in a installation capacity (say ApiService 1.3 needs a newer version of libxml2 or something), and in a general "does it pass QA" standpoint.

It would be your package maintainers job to specify that ApiService 1.3 requires libxml2 version XYZ.

Puppet/etc (or, specifically when dpkg runs via puppet) would fail to install the package if its not going to have libxml2 version XyZ.

Being that it's your package, you would write it in a way that dpkg is able to install it on the target servers your targeting. So, you could even spell it out exactly in puppet to, "before installing ApiService-1.3.deb, install libxml2-2.x728.deb"

If what your getting at, is that if ApiService 1.3 on machine 1, relies on libxml2 being updated on machine 2, then that sounds a bit brittle to me and should be refactored to be more forgiving.

Maybe that helps make it more clear, if in doubt will look for more comments.
Well, the borders and names of many countries in sub-saharan Africa have gone through dramatic changes over the past few decades.

Not trying to be a jerk, let's say he's 45 years old, and lived all his life in Kinshasa (previously Leopoldville), then most of his life was lived in a country named Zaire. So then there are the why's of which countries were actually valid states, and whether this or that country counts more. So maybe language is the answer? If he speaks Kongo, is he Kongo or Congolese, or if he speaks Ligala or several languages, then what?

Maybe the reporter asked him which he prefered? Maybe the editor vetoed it. Maybe they all had similar discussions we're having in this thread.
Except Soviets could not possible do this just for the simple reason that they were not allowed to read your newspapers.

Anyways, the point of that quote was not to enrich the newspaper's contents. It was to remind the citizens that the USSR's raison d'être was to bring the world's Communistic revolution.
Yes, that's the basic principle, but I think the "transactionally-safe" part is the point of the paper, i.e the fine grained eviction and non-blocking fetches.
> I have no problem paying for quality content (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Audible, etc.)

Funny that you mention that. Netflix and Hulu are not available in my country and my country is in the EU. As an american, you may not realize it, but paywalls are going to lead to a balkanization of the Internet, a process that is well on its way to being a reality.
> Had you read the argument about paying for content not freeing us from being targeted by advertisers, you would have noticed it is based on showing buying power, something micro payment is not really doing.

"Not really doing" doesn't exactly encouraging. You are making assumptions based on an idea that's never been tested, let alone shown to work. I think it's an interesting idea that may work for some content, and may not work for others. But let's not pretend that the article is, in any way, based on a real working model.

> If you want solutions you can look at patreon, flattr, crowdfunded websites, wikipedia,…

Patreon, flattr and crowdfunding are all the same thing. Exchanging money for content/creation. This is not a new solution to the problem, they are all platforms for solutions that are as old as money.

Wikipedia is a non-profit that survives on donations. Pretending that every form of content should be, or could be, non-profit is as silly as saying that every form of content can happily survive on microtransactions.
> it only takes a few stubborn people

This applies to land as well. It only takes a few people to ruin a golf course, or a highway we want to build if they commit trespass or refuse to sell their land. Yet, we make it work by considering eminent domain ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminent_domain#United_States ) which requires "public use" and "just compensation", and NOT by appropriating ALL of the land EVERYWHERE for ALL TIMES.

As long as property rights enforcement is there, the number of lawsuits shouldn't be a problem. If trespassing on land isn't a huge problem, why would trespassing of spectrum be?

Your observatory example sounds like tragedy of the commons. The article has this quote:

"The tragedy of the commons isn't a symptom of too much market; it is the result rather of not enough private property. All allocation of scarce goods will be most efficiently handled by the price system—so long as enforceable property rights are well defined."
