I wish I could upvote your post more than once. Co-dependence doesn't appear to be a healthy basis for any adult relationship.

As you say, co-dependence is different from offering empathy and help, I suspect the difference is when it becomes self-destructive. People have to take responsibility for their own happiness, partners (and friends and family) should never see it as their own responsibility to 'make you better', support seems to work best by being a friend for someone to talk to whilst they work through things for themselves.

For those who haven't heard of co-dependency (in relationships), here's an overview of some common issues:

It's the fear of missing out. All the social media services build their foundation on that addiction. Once you delete the accounts then the feeling slowly goes away and you get back to what life was like before all this nonsense started.

JWZ actually blocks links from HN, specifically. No love lost there, it seems.
You seem to imply that because they used Bing they couldn't still make money from ad revenue with searching. The truth is they most certainly could and probably do (they display Google ads on their result pages). Outsourcing to Bing allowed them to, supposedly, focus on more core business related functions. Whether that was a mistake or not (or ultimately didn't matter) I don't know if we have the data to show.

Germany has something called "Grundsicherung", which is even below unemployment benefits, but can be gotten by anyone, even without having a place of residence. That means if your homelessness is not based on mental issues or being too proud to accept help, you have at least a possibility to get out.
A more sober reading would be considering how many large groups in the US speak German and Gaelic today.

> No no no! This is the path to misery and unhappiness. Your interests should coincide! They should be mutually shared! The success of any partnership is based on common interests, not on the partners selflessly making themselves miserable for the sake of some perceived interest of the other party.

Yes, what GP advocates is the foundation of an abusive relationship. There is no swifter way to guarantee the onset of emotional abuse than by pressuring any partner into sacrificing their happiness for the other.
For what it's worth, I too am European (Swedish). I think whatever works, well, works - If OP is fine doing what they are doing, there's no problem really. However, a lot of people seem to be (a) afraid of quitting jobs they hate (b) bad at saving money.

Learning to quit a job you hate and to save money are both vey useful skills on their own. In reality, it might just take a few weeks of intense effort to find a new job in a different field - but it's always good to have a buffer, especially if you want to re-skill to a completely different field.

If your real objective is to get actually some income in place of the ad, I would highly suggest supporting traditional forms of payment in addition to Bitcoin. Pick your battles and reduce friction for the user to donate. Although Bitcoin is interesting/cool/worthy of existence, 99.9% of users don't have a Bitcoin wallet, so you'll be missing out on a lot of potential income.
Definitely. I've heard several women friends of mine say they usually avoid dating men in IT. I've also personally gone on a date with a woman who said she was pleasantly surprised I could actually hold a conversation with her. I've heard terms like "engineer autism" to refer to the quirky social awkwardness that is associated with men in IT.
oops, I'm sorry, I guess I just skipped that paragraph.

I was put off by the wording of "Simmons insists he didn’t sell drugs and believes he was profiled."; this wording seems to me like a personal claim and not a fact.
Nice little project!

The issue is, at this moment Bitcoin does not really support micro-transactions. There is a proposal in progress which will fix this though. Its called "Lightning Network" and it will act as aggregator of transactions which will prevent dust from hitting blockchain while correctly and safely counting every penny. This is not yet ready - they are working on safe and private payment routing in network consisting of open set of nodes, which is (IMHO) crazy hard.
Artificially coupling distinct products like that should be illegal, just like you can't make a car that runs on only Ford gas (you can make a car that runs on diesel, or gas, or only on high-octane, but it has to be some published standard). What the EU should require is that device makers offer a published API (and published review standards etc.) and use only the published APIs for any bundled apps, so that other app-makers can compete on a level playing field, and other device-makers can implement competitive devices for running the same apps.

While the morality & legality may be deplorable, I do respect the can-do entrepreneurial aspect.

Traditional tobacco providers actually dominate e-cig market share in the US under different brand names.

The most popular e cig brands blu and vise, are owned by Reynolds tobacco and imperial tobacco. Markten is owned by Altria, aka Philip Morris.

Google Drive, Microsoft One Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, etc. They're all very reasonably priced in my opinion (Amazon's says they give you unlimited).

Agree with the others re: our first experiences on the internet.

But even now Yahoo is still hanging on to some valuable things we're likely to lose in this change. I'm still a heavy user of Flickr for example - and though many others have tried, it's still IMO the best photography community out there (sorry 500px).

It's been a perennial money-loser for Yahoo, kept around because what self-respecting tech giant doesn't have a photo hosting service? I fear with this spinoff we're seeing the end days for that product.
Lots of thing have Flickr upload; it was just not build by Flickr itself, supporting the professional photographer culture in the first place.
The only way I've been able to do it is start writing a program that reads the header and prints details.

Your other option is something like QuickBMS - on mobile, can't link.

Since the Docker logo is being used to describe or in reference to Docker, it is likely a nominative defense could work.

i havent used bitcoin for years, so excuse me if i'm asking stupid questions, but how many steps is it to donate from the time i see it to when the money flows?

Realistically i could only see myself doing this if it was less than 3 clicks and a grand total of about 30 seconds of time. Any more than that and i'm just not going to bother if i'm honest.

Also, this might go against what you are trying to do, but would it be possible to maybe keep a counter of how many of these "ads" were blocked (only on the client) and maybe update the suggested donation based on that?

I personally might be more willing to donate if i saw "You've blocked 384 ads on this site" or something like "you've visited this page 26 times over the last month" and an updated suggested donation to match the usage.

Ninja-edit:

And finally, is there a service that you could work with to allow easy donations via other currencies and have them auto converted to bitcoin? I don't have a bitcoin wallet any more, but if there was a button next to the donate button that took you to a 3rd party website that allowed me to pay in USD and have it converted to bitcoin and sent to the website I might contribute.

Cost Per Macaw
This is exactly what I've been thinking about re:the recent slew of adblock news on HN. Content creation and distribution have real costs, and I see other, far more intrusive models developing to combat loss of ad revenue if ad blockers become the norm.

Not to mention the contribution to rising income inequality/decreasing social mobility. If all useful information is behind a paywall, only those that can afford it will have access - further increasing the return to capital.

All this to say, be careful what you wish for...
Perhaps it is cool - but it is still not a popular major to study. Very, very few of my kids' friends in high school picked a STEM major, even fewer CS. Top 10 high school in Massachusetts (which is No. 1 in the US)
The language editor is what's really good. It allows full structural editing, mixing Lisp-style and math-style expressions. And the workbook allows to display all kinds of objects. Which (like images) you could actually copy-paste as values in expressions.
It's worth testing. The reason we started with bitcoin is that traditional forms of payment charge a egregious fee (credit card, 3%) or require sharing private information (ACH). With bitcoin, I can send micro-payments trustless-ly.
I think the argument is that "big bucks" in CS is relative and the ceiling is much higher in medicine specifically (and to a certain extent law but you're 100% correct about the oversaturation).

Outside of San Francisco and (maybe) NYC, "big bucks" for a programmer with no managerial responsibilities is probably somewhere in the $120-180k range. In my very low cost of living area, it's in the $100-120k range. You just cannot get a job for more than $9-10k/mo in the area doing development. Team leads/tech leads are similarly priced, and it's not until you're managing multiple teams that you're in the area of $150k.

And yes a new doctor will be 5-6 years older and make less than a new programmer. But "big bucks" for a physician is measured in the hundreds of thousands. Anesthesiology tops $430k a year in median salary.[2] It's absolutely a harder, more demanding job, and it starts out much less forgiving. But the ladder extends much, much further and depending on specialty it's hard not to end up solidly upper class regardless of geographic area or cost of living.

The 2012 median annual wage for "Computer programmers" is $72k[0]

The 2012 median annual wage for a lawyer is $114k, with an arguably much more difficult job market[1], but is incredibly close to the top 10% of computer programmers (which is $118k).

The 2012 median annual wage for a physicians is above the maximum reported value of $187,200[2]

You certainly don't need to do any of that. Amazon didn't do that and they have a pretty successful line of tablets. Even their crappy phone was far better than the Firefox OS phone.

Firefox could fork AOSP, break compatibility (if they want), rename it, and never look back. If they did this, they would be far ahead of where they are right now with Firefox OS.

I am sure production of Vape juice is totally unregulated. I have heard tales where budding entrepreneurs are starting their own Vape Juice factories. People who just understand a little bit of what goes in are running these production units. All they need is a minimum bulk order and they will label and package as per one's wish. So there are many brands right now that are being sold in stores but no body knows a thing about it, probably not even the guys who runs the manufacturing if those are harmful or not. Bottom line is don't trust the nicely packaged bottles of that harmful liquid. You never know what is inside.

I think there are two things at play here. The first is that people are predisposed to love and take care of their children (and there's a bunch of associated brain chemistry that helps with that). And the second is that there exist people who don't understand that not everyone is interested in the thing that they are interested in. [This second one seems to be completely uncorrelated with intelligence ... as far as I can tell. Maybe a personality spectrum thing?]

Anyway. If you mix the two together you get people who insist that their children must be exactly like them because otherwise their children would be doomed and that would be unthinkable.

More intelligence (and/or forceful personality / competence) may make the problem worse because clearly you know what you're doing (after all you can describe the thing with such great an articulate words) the problem must be this ungrateful child that doesn't know you're paving a golden path.
