I can't watch live TV due to the ads, and sports is no exception. If you've seen the statistics on actual play time during your average football or baseball game, you know how large a majority of time is given to mindless banter and commercial breaks. My sports viewing recently has been limited to gifs of incredible athletic feats, which are the rare moments you watch the games for anyway.

There's so much quality content produced for or available on on-demand streaming these days, to the extent of it being called the golden age of television, that when I have 2-3 hrs I could devote in front of the TV, I'm not going to give it up to a long sequence of commercial breaks. I'll catch the highlights of the game afterwards or just check the score on my phone.

That being said, going to live sporting event with friends always makes for a good time.
Icq is very popular on some countries, for example Russia.

There is a interesting phenomenon with IMs in that they tend to have popularity based on geographical locations and language borders, despite being on Internet.

Examples: in russia Icq is king. Brazil had Icq until MSN Messenger showed up, Icq tried and failed to get it back, gave up, then Microsoft became stupid and closed MSN Messenger, now the leader is Facebook messaging and whatsapp. Last I checked in us people used aim and yahoo clients.

Gmail messenger was a popular second place in many countries until Google killed it in favour of hangouts, now for text people use Facebook and for video they use Skype, that was, and kept their leading position.

In China the thing is Baidu client.

In Africa there is some messenger clients tied to local isps and phone companies.
> Each rover has its own set of photos stored in the database, which can be queried separately. There are several possible queries that can be made against the API. Photos are organized by the sol (Martian rotation or day) on which they were taken, counting up from the rover's landing date. A photo taken on Curiosity's 1000th Martian sol exploring Mars, for example, will have a sol attribute of 1000. If instead you prefer to search by the Earth date on which a photo was taken, you can do that too.

Meh, today's cable doesn't feel that different; I just start watching the show a bit later and fast-forward the ads at 32x.
Isn't GA's main draw its close integration with adwords and whatnot? The dashboard and UI seem pretty clearly aimed at someone who needs to manage their spending on google marketing services, not on someone who needs to count pageviews.

So it's not hard to imagine marketing wanting it; presumably it provides them a lot of value that wouldn't be easy to recreate in-house.
> if they are selling 1TB of storage, shouldn't we get 1TB of storage?

You do, they're just not allowing you to store it in 24 hours. Some services (Backblaze, if I recall) allow you to ship a drive to get around this limitation.

Notice that all services do this? If you can do better, build one! Prepare to go broke from the peak bandwidth requirements you'll need to build your networking architecture to support such transfer rates, but I always encourage experimentation and learning lessons over complaints.
I'll be contrarian here, since there are many people claiming the solution is paywalls (which people also whine about). (and BTW, the opinion that follows has nothing to do with my employer, Google, and their business model)

I grew up poor, my family didn't have disposable income for buying media. Everything I got, came from ad supported radio, TV, or public libraries. I used to call into radio stations to ask them to play a song, and then wait for hours so I could tape the songs and create tapes. Our family did not have cable, and though we had VHS, we often didn't rent movies, but rather used the VHS like a Tivo.

There are billions of people in the world who now have access to billions of Web documents that were paid for by advertisers, many of whom probably didn't even get their moneys worth. If the Web originated as a paywall, it would have never grown to the size and usage rates that exists today.

The first crawlers would have never arisen if anyone wanting to built a search index had to strike deals to access content for indexing.

Paywalls raise transaction barriers that ads do not. Ads make you pay in bandwidth and time, but for much of the internet's life, those were tradeoffs that were much easier to make than having to break out a credit card everytime you saw an article that MIGHT interest you. Paywalls also make centralizing vs federated/decentralized content more economically efficient.

How many of you have searched for scientific papers only to be pissed that they're behind some Springer-Verlag paywall?

Do we want to live in a world of walls, or a world of open highways with billboards? That's the choice being made here. And the scorn being heaped on ads is the luxury and privilege of living in a time when most of the content on the Web and most of the infrastructure costs have already been sunk and payed for by advertisers in years past. We live in a Web of excess now, forgetting the hundreds of billions sunk into datacenters and network infrastructure and content creation that came before. Who paid for that, and would it have even existed if the entire thing was like Cable TV premium channels?

I don't really want the Web to turn into a giant Apple Store, where every link, I must face the cognitive burden of paying for it before I know that I even want it. We need to solve the issues that ads create with respect to bandwidth hogging and privacy, but I think paywalls, even micro-payment paywalls, impose too much of a transaction cost and cognitive burden for the free exchange of knowledge.
I agree, but the point I was trying to make (perhaps unclearly), was that the username can be checked against a list of blocked patterns at account creation time.

If we trusted our devices not to spy on us, it would be a useful feature for a Smart TV to start up but leave the screen off when it detects someone walking into the room, so that by the time they find the remote, sit down, and actually press the power button to turn it on, It just has to turn the screen on and appears to start instantly.

Is it possible that they are working on batches, and not doing any hashing/compression in parallel with the uploading? It seems feasible from your screenshot that they are getting ~10GB of data at a time, compressing(?) and hashing, and then uploading, and then starting on the next ~10GB.
In the Microsoft case, the effectiveness was still noticeable.

The concept of the Microsoft case: Make sure that Microsoft can not get a monopoly in the web.

How it was done: Install no browser by default, let people pick. People chose what they had heard of, often Firefox or Chrome.

Result: It led to an almost instantaneous drop in IE market share on new windows installs.

And it most definitely helped end IE’s monopoly over the market.

With Google, it will be far more problematic, and might even end up with Google getting broken up into several companies, or even banned from some markets, or even forced to operate like a governmental monopoly, and integrate competing products equally as they integrate their own.

Yes, CMS should do lossless optimizations no question. The problem here is that this is a photographic image, saved as a PNG, when it really should be a JPEG. Converting to JPEG is a lossy optimization, in addition to offering different features. It's risky to have a general "convert PNGs to JPEG" or even "convert all non-transparent PNGs to JPEG" optimization rules built into your build process or as a CMS plugin

Nothing is being lost in the process as long as we continue to churn out people who are still interested in the low-level bits of the process.

I used to point out to people that the control algorithm they were so laboriously writing on their PIC/AVR (now Arduino...) could be replaced with a 20 cent transistor and a handful of diodes and resistors. For exactly the same reason: the overkill bugged me and I was bothered that "kids today" weren't learning things "the right way."
Then I began to shut up because I realized I was looking at progress. We don't need experts in analog electronics to build basic control systems: a web hacker who learns C can handle the simple stuff (emphasis on simple).

Likewise, I now find myself telling others to forget about building 555 timer circuits or elaborate digital contraptions to sequence their LEDs and relays and just buy a $5 Arduino Nano and get it done in a few minutes.

It's progress!
What happens to the existing grid when there are 2 consecutive weeks of bad weather during winter?

Not sure where you are, but look at one of the availability maps at a NE utility (I know CT has one... CL&P?) after a major storm. Distributed generation definitely shouldn't be compared to "100% current availability"!
This is how the "smells" are connected together. These are the words people use when they experience an odor.
Advertisers brought this on themselves. With their ceaseless push to put ads everywhere, even within articles, this is what you get.

Advertising isn't inherently evil; it can be useful. It can be artistic. It can be educational. those are qualities that make ads appealing.

But if you interrupt me from what I was trying to do, it doesn't matter what the ad is. that's just rude.

Humor is a goto for advertisers, and maybe that works for some people, but for a lot of people it just rolls off.

Tide laundry detergent could show me an ad for getting a stain out using vinegar and baking soda. But instead everything needs to push people towards their products. Their products are the be-all end all. buy buy buy.

And advertisers need to be more selective of who they advertise to and how. The more verzion ads I see, the more I despise them. And if i'm watching a bunch of videos and you show me the same exact ad every time, over the course of weeks, you're a fucking idiot.

In short, this is a good thing. It's a process of evolution. Maybe they'll get their shit together, or invent something worse.

The stated minimum requirements and the actual minimum-to-have-a-shot requirements are different, and they are different now than they used to be. Nowadays astronauts training for the ISS need to be generalists capable of doing everything. During the Space Shuttle era astronauts flew for a couple weeks at a time, and they were able to specialize in certain aspects. This meant that some people focused on EVA (spacewaks), some on robotics, some on flying the Shuttle, etc. Now, amongst other things, everyone needs to be EVA-capable, which means everyone needs to be physically capable of operating inside the space suit. I train astronauts to do EVAs, and working inside the space suit is a very physically demanding job.

Many, many, many people are clamoring to outlaw gambling in the very, very few places it is currently legal, myself included. Right now Draftkings and whatever that other one is are in the process of getting worked over by multiple state AGs for violating anti-gambling prohibitions.

Gambling is legal in only a tiny handful of places and in the few places where more casinos have recently been authorized, NY state (my state) included, it has been a hugely controversial decision. In NY State, the rationale was certainly not that gamblers benefitted, but that the added tourist attraction of creating casinos in depressed communities will boost the local economy. I think this was a patently bad decision and I'm certain that history will bear me out, that the local economies will not suddenly prosperous and quite to the contrary, all of the low grade crime associated with risk seekers, substance abusers and the profligate will now infect these communities as well.

The whole reason we have the SEC in the first place is to protect the credulous from the sharks.

I don't anticipate this type of crowdfunding taking off, quite honestly, and I don't know that this is a problem. We want the middle classes putting their assets in places safer than just betting them on papa's mustache in the third - which is what unsophisticated startup investing basically is. Except there is a much greater chance that a random horse picked with a dartboard is going to have a return than a random startup will.

Not around here (non-US country), it already came with ads. The point was always the extra content, since we only had four OTA channels.
I've been wondering for a while if it would be more viable to crowdfund VCs or angels in place of limited partners. That way there are full time people dedicated to due diligence, risk management via diversified portfolios, etc. Of course, similar risks still apply and bankrolling start ups may or may not be the best way to ROI.
Tradition, all the Russian/CIS carders have always used jabber or ICQ mainly because they aren't worried about being caught and don't care about the security of their customers either. The bigger fraud outfits like Rescator are likely politically protected being a nephew to a cabinet minister or son of a Novosibirsk police captain. If you are a non connected Russian and try to run a fraud superstore the US feds can bribe lower level police agencies there to go make your life hell.
Ad blocking isn't just about improving "user experience." Current ad providers are so widely negligent and irresponsible with the content they allow on their networks that they are a tremendous security risk these days. It takes a truly incredible amount of hypocrisy or ignorance to rely on a known malware vector for your income and then accuse people of being "unethical" for protecting themselves.
It looks like Chromium can build for iOS, although without much of a UI. I'm not sure about Firefox, as their official iOS version (which is just a UI for the WebKit engine, of course) makes it hard to search for.
Bluntly, I don't care what they do so long as they do their job, and frankly, their personal lives are none of my business; they're a highly-educated mature adult capable of figuring it out just like their peers in the profession are somehow able to do. Some do a childcare service, some have nannies or babysitters, some have a stay-at-home partner… Surgeries run long all the time due to unforeseen complications, and I find it difficult to believe that this anesthesiologist didn't have a backup plan for those occasions. They may not have wanted to use it, and that is what I object to.

One of my parents is a physician and I didn't get to see them much when I was growing up (or even now); I intimately understand the point of view of those advocating for greater work-life balance in medicine. What I find lacking in the push for greater work-life balance is an acknowledgment that quality of care may be changing for the worse as a result.

How's the tech and startup scenes over there?
>why does Google and their advertisers need to know about it I would ask

Google is pretty clear about this. The only reason they track you is for advertising, and there isn't any evidence of them using the info for anything else. In fact there is a lot of evidence pointing the other way, such as their insistence on encryption data flowing between their datacenters.

This is Google we are talking about, not Kazakhstan, China or Russia.
I don't think anyone can give you that level of analysis. To do it 'properly' would require a set of interlinked models on the scale of the IPCC models. Certainly not in a free analysis; Gartner probably have some papers on this.

But as usual the truth lies somewhere between the delusional hype and the denialists, in the form of a gradual rollout. Realistically the newly-commissioned gas power plants are not going anywhere for 30 years, especially when shale gas is so cheap in the US. The short term in Europe is dominated by the Combustion Plant Directive closing down coal plants that reach the end of their working lives. Southern US will see more and more solar. The grid is not going anywhere and will probably require ongoing point upgrades. And so on.
