Retargeting is a technology that uses a piece of code to serve ads to folks who have not signed up for CB Insights, but have visited our website. If you’ve heard of browser cookies, but never really knew what they did, this is it.

Err, no, not really. The cookies from your website are to allow people to login and follow them over your property.

In order to target someone for 'retargeting ', you employ a third party to spy on your users and follow them round the web. That's done using third party cookies. This is precisely why third party cookies should be banned.

So if you've heard of browser cookies, there are two types, the good type, which help users, and the bad type, which maliciously track users. This is the bad type.

Bingo! Massive stock bubble driven by easy money and (more recently) corporations buying back their own stock (with borrowed money) to drive up the price of the stock remaining on the market.

Besides, GDP doesn't represent the total of "real wealth" or productive activity either.

The GDP is inflated because it contains all activity regardless of whether it was actually productive or not. For example, if the government hired a million people to dig ditches and fill them up again, that would raise the GDP, but it sure wouldn't increase the nation's wealth.

They've even changed how the GDP is calculated to make it look bigger: http://seekingalpha.com/article/1368001-u-s-governments-new-...

It seems like a lot of people who write about crossfit haven't seen a significant amount of crossfit. We're 'competing', but someone is doing overhead squats with 60 kilos and someone else is doing it was a plastic bar. Someone's doing strict pull ups, others are using giant elastic bands. Cross fit has scaling built in. At the three boxes I've been a member of, coaches ask yo to take off weight when your form breaks down.

Youtube actually have quite a civilised policy on pirated content. They do make money on the ads but if you go to them and prove you are the copyright holder they divert the ad payout on pirated stuff to you rather than the poster. I've got a friend making quite a lot of money by having asserted legal copyright on some much pirated content. Udemy could perhaps offer to do something similar?

Ok, some things that might work - or not:

- sponsored content would likely only talk about one product, not about a product against a competitive background

- it would likely only talk about that product in a positive sense

- it would likely be part of a larger campaign

Maybe there are more criteria and hopefully simpler ones (certain keywords, calls to action, incessant repetition of product or company name or other giveaways).
First, believing that "extremely irrational" people can compete with other rational and irrational individuals or groups and climb a hierarchy of power to the top and control it (for decades sometimes) it's something self evidently irrational in my opinion. And second, I doubt the OP really knows what "Putin believes". Putin projects a lot of images for a lot of different people and that's part of a very rational strategy (most probably conceived by some advisor specialized on russian voter psychology). The OP is stuck on one of these projections because it's fed to him frequently by a very rational mass media which simply understands that the average joe needs/loves to believe he is smarter than the "obviously delusional dictator" of a country with 143 million people.
Most people who do crossfit don't look like that, and they don't want to. Guys have less beer guts and better arms than the general population, girls are slimmer and have shoulder muscles. That's about it. There are very few ultra jacked dudes and women.

Your point could still partially apply to vim. But my main train of thought on reading this, as well as the sample configs offered above[0], is that it really is much too complex for my needs.

The amount of configuration and maintenance required, shuffling todo items around, filing, refiling - even the person whose setup is mentioned elsewhere[0] admits he had 373 tasks at that time - that doesn't sound organised to me!

I'll most likely stick to developing my 'plaintext vertical kanban' system, unless I dabble with the vim clone of org-mode. I do however get the ethos of the thing, and happily encourage it. I saw a fun quote at the top of one of today's HN front page articles:

Laziness is a virtue as it “makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure.”

PS - slightly off topic, but saw in another comment here you still use org-mode on an N900 - I need to de-brick mine, but that involves splitting a USB cable and soldering it onto the test pads under the battery. It lasted for 5 years, performing brilliantly, and I was just about to put the easychroot Debian back on when disaster struck.

With that phone/device I had an SSH shortcut on the desktop to my various servers and also ran syncthing on it directly, barely affecting battery life, to keep phone and laptop notes in sync. I can still do most of that on the Ubuntu phone, but can't help feeling restricted. Sure I can enable write access to the system files, but then I forego the updates. Not ideal.

Speaking as a Michigan grad, his description of the the UM / OSU rivalry sounds completely foreign to me. It's true I do know a few "how stupid OSU is" jokes, but I've never perceived them as anything but standard ingroup / outgroup jokes. (Think dumb blonde jokes here.)

But I've always seen the game as the best public school in Michigan versus the best public school in Ohio, two great universities with great football traditions. I've no idea why you'd think of OSU as hillbillies; I don't know that I've ever heard that association made.

Now Michigan versus Michigan State fits right into the model he's talking about. But even there it seems a real stretch to describe it as class warfare.
More than that! However, in some areas of copyright law lawyers are willing to work on contingency fee or percentage based fees.

Thought I'd mention this: BasiliskII (OS 6 - OS 8.5) and SheepShaver (OS 9) are both open source, need a UI redesign rather badly, are nontrivial to compile on FreeBSD, and could do with quite a bit of cleanup.

I've been meaning to look at it myself for quite a while, but it's at the bottom of a very long list. (Incidentally, if anyone's interested in poking it as a team project sometime, my email's in my profile.)

- The military backed regime voted for Israel in the UN for the first time ever[0] If this is not rapprochement and normalization for relations, I don't know frankly what it really is.

- The head of the Coptic Orthodox Church is visiting Jerusalem breaking the boycott imposed by his predecessor in visiting Israel till a fair solution for the Palestinians is reached and a lasting peace is materialized.

Those two obvious incidents above indicate that yes the military-backed regime in Egypt is on good terms with Bibi's govt and they're more than allies on a lot of issues and denying that is not a smart thing to do.

Original author of the blog post here. I find it interesting that your takeaway from my blog post is that I am writing unfavorable over smalltalk. I quite liked it. I think I mentioned that I was checking out Smalltalk, didn't claim to summarize longer experience with it.

Moose looks interesting indeed.
Just as a counter point, I've never thought of nerd/geek as terms describing prowess in a field. I see 'geek' as a term to describe someone who is passionate about something that it isn't cool to be passionate about, or in a way that isn't concerned with being cool. Nerd would be basically the same, except it's taken on a stronger negative connotation, basically because it's used to imply lack of social skills, and perhaps more obsessive behaviour.
I find it interesting that when the cost of goods such as food and gas go up, it's called inflation, but when the price of assets go up, it's called a bubble. Sure, there are differences (a bubble assumes the price will go back down), but it's still interesting to me....both are driven by the same thing, the price of money.

Define "better". Installing Facebook just to use its messenger feature is akin to installing Photoshop just to resize pictures. Also, Facebook is a mobile data hog compared to most chat apps, and that matters to some folks.

If you want a full fledged social network with all the trimmings, sure, Facebook is hard to beat; but if all you want is chat, use a chat app.

Well, they should be, but apparently they are not:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1...

Whatever you could conclude from that article the bug bounty clause ruling those systems out would suggest they are indeed connected, as does the FBI statement (which appears to have taken a part of the conversation out of context but is in fact later on verified by the wired people as having some basis in fact, other than that the guy did not actually control the aircraft he should not have been able to get as far as he did).

I agree with you those connections really should not exist but there seem to be at least some wires bridging the air-gap, maybe read only, maybe not depending on the kind of plane.

Fortunately there appear to be enough safeguards in place to limit the damage that could be done and from what I understand these have held up. It also seems that the 'hacker' is a bit of a bragger but he got in a lot further than they initially gave him credit for, and in a way that is so simple that it makes you wonder what else they missed. The safeguards now seem to hinge on knowing what commands to issue and how to bypass authentication but that is stuff we see in an internet context on a daily basis so that seems to be - to me at least - very thin ice to skate on.

An airgap would be better and simpler.
As mentioned I'm used to mixing my muesli myself, and I don't explicitly remember having tried muesli mixes or oats from Familia. The Familia brand looks familiar from my time in Switzerland though, I suspect they may have been one of the first companies offering mixes there (the trend started around the early 90ies IIRC), and the products you linked do look good (oats as main ingredient, no added sugar, flavors etc.).

Here are some of the sources I'm buying when in Switzerland:

https://produkte.migros.ch/m-classic-haferflocken-grob

http://www.coop.ch/pb/site/medien/node/82444422/Lde/index.ht.... -- can't find actual product page (oh, that's a corporate communication message that says that recently they accidentally sold conventionally produced ones as organic. Disappointingly worded, too, they say they're "withdrawing" them (just from their stock) since those don't fulfill their quality demands, when in fact I think they are required by contracts (or perhaps even trademark law?) to do so due to the "Knospe" organic product sign being used inappropriately. Anyway, organic or not does not have much influence on taste or health, at least compared to using oats versus puffed stuff.)
I had some access to a mainframe this year and learned the basics of z/OS. Things do feel very restricted and slowish, you really notice that it comes from a batch background, and interactivity came later. A UNIX user might find it a bit frustrating. They can be interesting and do have their charms though. Interesting for you, on the real mainframe, due to the restrictions etc, there was only a limited number of things I could really do on it. Just the stuff I needed for my job and not much more. I actually learned more from reading "the book". I suggest just reading that and then you will have a good idea about whether you want to pursue access on the real machine or not.

Yes, EINTR handling in many scripting languages - I'm most familiar with Python - is horrifically broken. It appears that https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475/#implementation is intended to solve this issue... for Python 3.5.
He hasn't written anything about this ARM1 (yet), but Ken Shirriff (http://www.righto.com/) has some very interesting gate-level explanations about parts of other old processors scanned by the same Visual6502 project. Take a look, for instance, at these posts: http://www.righto.com/search/label/6502
So the ARM1 had no cache & no microcode. 15 user visible 32 bit registers, with some (Nos 10-15 IIRC) duplicated for use during interrupts (FIQ mode). I think a couple more registers were also duplicated for use during other interrupts. So bottom left looks like it might be the register bank. The square block at top right might be the instruction decode PLA?

There’s a block diagram for the ARM2 in this document: http://www.riscos.com/support/developers/asm/cpu.html I believe the ARM was much the same, with the exception of fewer banked registers & no integer multiplier, so the dedicated could probably trace the paths and make some guesses about where each block is located.
You keep saying that but it has already been proven not to be the case.

Wired article related to this:

http://www.wired.com/2015/05/possible-passengers-hack-commer...

States that there is a connection but it is supposedly one-way only. So no airgap. The article then goes on to note that a 777 uses a two-way bus but requires further authentication.
Probably depends on your friends. I bought an Ubuntu phone and its a struggle to get people to switch from Whatsapp to Telegram.
Reading The Tea Leaves
The OSI surely has some say in what they meant when they created the term "open source". The term didn't exist before 1998 when the people involved† with the organization you're referring to coined it. Anything else is just perverting a well-defined term.

I'm not a huge OSI fan, so when I say this, it's not coming from a place of ideology. It's just historical fact.

† The organization didn't exist yet, but it was founded later that month.

The faq links for each bot are interesting. The author of the bot ranked first (Tscmoo) doesn't think the bot uses any interesting AI techniques or algorithms: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23817376/Starcraft/AIIDE...

> My bot has a variety of different strategies that it can execute. The strategy to execute is chosen randomly using weights, and the weights are adjusted based on previous match results. It's pretty simple but I guess it could be called learning.

The top 3 bots are independent entries, and beat the bots using learning algorithms such as UCB1 from research institutions. The author of the bot ranked second does think that other bots that minimized hand-crafted solutions would be more interesting: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23817376/Starcraft/AIIDE...
The article explicitly states that it is trying to find out which algorithm is optimal for small text-based documents that are common on the web, such as CSS, JS, and HTML.

The best compression algorithm for small text files might be very different from the best algorithm for large amounts of general data. If your browser needs to decompress 100 separate files in a fraction of a second, startup time does matter.
I really like the fact that Perl6 has a proper type system.

I like even more that you can mix static and dynamic typing, so to speak. After taking their sweet time, I am not overly confident about adoption of Perl6, but I hope I'm wrong.

At least, from what I can tell so far, Perl6 manages to keep the spirit of Perl, while fixing a number of things that were wrong, or at least problematic, in Perl5.

Also, like a few others, the "Perl" in your title is very interesting for me. As a Perl old timer working with a team that hasn't dabbled in any Perl at all, this would be a wonderful, wonderful hands-on demo of what Perl can and does do.

Is there a detailed technical write up on your blog, on how you did this in Perl? Is the code open-source, so I can show them with examples...etc?
I'm not sure you're scaling logic checks out. You claim that a single track can transport 3 cars per second. That sounds dangerous. Cars going 100km/h, with a distance of roughly 5m... that will only be possible on long, straight stretches. But conventional trains already work very well on long, straight stretches.

The difficult thing about scaling something like SkyTran will be transferring between tracks and merging at high-speed.

But even if all of that works nicely, you're still limited by the time people take to get in and out of their cars. You'll end up with traffic jams waiting for 20 people to get out of their cars before your car can park at the station...

> Scheme focuses on small (and mathematically elegant) core language, while Common Lisp, with its focus on being practical

I don't think it's really fair to say modern Schemes aren't focused on being practical. Nor that they're small.

Take a look at Chicken or Racket, and you'll see that they have quite substantial libraries and many features above and beyond the specs that make them much more practical than the core Scheme spec alone.

Quite beside that, there's also the new R7RS[1] spec's "large" language is just that: large. It's also focused on being practical. So I wouldn't say that the traditional Scheme vs CL divisions in terms of size and practicality still hold.

I would say that Scheme is more elegant than CL, and more modern, and less crufty. Unfortunately, there are still far more programmers using CL than Scheme. Hopefully with Emacs' move to Guile that will change.

That said, I still love CL, and would far rather use it than any other language, except Scheme.

If reward and punishment are tied to individual judgement, everything descends into hypotheticals, theory, and butt covering.

Consensus is nice because it's a relative of shared understanding. When it can't be achieved, trying to achieve it still increases shared understanding. Having a tie-breaker is the only role you need in small groups.
