As far as I understand, the usual approach executed by Google et al is first figure out your demographics data server-side, and then use that data to send targeted advertising to your device when it requests an ad.

Apple, meanwhile—having direct access to your phone's OS—just pre-download a full ad-inventory database to your device, and then your device, using demographics data stored only on the device, targets itself; Apple's servers don't learn anything about you, only what ads your phone decided to show you.
I manage 140+ websites for a university and we use a CMS. We could not live without it. But I have a handful of friends that make their living using wordpress to standup small to medium sites. As a CMS, wordpress makes their customer's life easy to edit content and add pages and such. IT still takes a tech to create the site.

I don't do outside work so my feelings are more just my gut and not based on direct experience. But having migrated several university blogs away from wordpress into the cms I know I sleep better at night not worrying about wordpress vulnerabilities. We have had several WP blogs successfully attacked and getting them back to a proper state was just terribly complicated.

We really need easy tools for small sites (maybe <50 pages, or simple blogs). Static publishing for those with a little technical bent are useful but for others not really approachable.

Recently I have been looking at http://dodgercms.com/ and a recently cloned derivative https://bitbucket.org/matthewdlevy/drafty. Both are not really ready for prime time and set up requires a little knowledge of AWS but once set up, creating a small site is pretty easy.
Better coffee? That's a pretty huge claim ...
It can allow you to edit code faster, make changes faster, refactor faster, because rather than editing at the "text-level" abstraction, you're editing at the "code-level" abstraction. By itself it's not that useful, but combine it with type awareness, semantic awareness, you have an expert system, not just a code editor.

Not that I agree with the guy above you, but I also don't agree with your comment here:

> What makes you think you have a right to run software on my computer?

What makes you think you have the right to consume the content I worked hard to create for free?

Just because you can hide ads, or sneak into a concert to listen and consume that content, it doesn't make it morally permissible. Do you think you should be able to sneak into a theater and watch a movie for free? Should you be entitled to that? This really isn't any different. And here's why:

These content creators and publishers are creating their content with the expectation that people will view the ads right along side the content, and they will make money. It's an inherent expectation. So once you hide those ads, you are making an effort to cheat the content creator. It's just become so ubiquitous to web browsing that you actually think it should be "the norm" and that you're on some moral high ground here. You aren't and I'm flabbergasted that intelligent people actually think this way. Either hackernews has changed within the last year or two, or it's demographic has gotten a lot younger over the years.

From my experience most people are fine with ads, they want to support the content creators. What they're up in arms about, is "intrusive" ads. That is completely understandable. However, this fight now has become about all ads in general, and I have to take a stand there because I understand how content subsidization works. Without ads, there would be no internet. At least, not in its current form. It would be a vastly different place, and not one I'd be eager to see.
Is it possible to make structure editors work for whitespace sensitive languages like Haskell? Limiting AST editors to just lisp is a bit weird.
Right, Copy-On-Write filesystems (ZFS, Bttr) are explicitly designed to prevent that kind of corruption by never editing blocks in place, but rather copying the contents to a new block and using a journaled metadata update to point the file at it's new block.

ZFS also includes features around checksumming of the metadata. "Silent" write errors become loud the next time data is accessed and the checksums don't match. This can't prevent all errors, but has some very nice data integrity properties - Combined with it's RAID format, you can likely recover from most any failures, and with RAIDZ2, you can recover from a scattered failures on all drives even if one drive has completely died. This is actually fairly common - Modern drives are very large, and rust is more susceptible to 'cosmic rays' than one might think.

How to Stop Turning U.S. Corporations into Tax Exiles
I'm thinking of doing something similar with my PhD students who have no backgroud in maths, but are strong programmers.

How did you organise reading such a book? Any recommendations?

I wonder if I should go Isabelle, Coq or Agda. The former is more suitable to my personal prover needs, as I like classical logic and nominal techniques, but I have a feeling that Coq is easier to get into because there is more literature. Agda is the cleanest system, but lacks proof automation.
England has civil and criminal law. I'm not sure what the US equivalents are.

When you break civil law the wronged party can take you to court and try to get damages. There's no chance of prison or conviction or criminal record. When you break criminal law the police get involved, you're arrested and charged with an offence, you're prosecuted, and if convicted you're sentenced.

For copyright stuff it's almost entirely civil. It tips into criminal law if you do it as part of trading. So, if I download a movie it's civil. If I upload a movie it's still civil. If I download a movie, and burn it to DVDs and sell those at a market it's now criminal.

UK copyright law is bafflingly bad. If someone wants a strong example of over-powerful lobbying in law creation the copyright laws are a great example.

> Next, there's a massive volume difference between the hot and warm modes.

If I read the text and schematics correctly, that's because one uses 0.7V silicon diodes and the other 1.7V LEDs in the opamp feedback loop. (At least red LEDs used to be 1.7V when I was messing with them.)

So that should clip the voltage in that branch to +/- 0.7 or +/- 1.7 volts, hence the power difference if nothing else is moderating it.

What prisoners get paid might seem slow.

In the documentary Angola, the warden makes the case for paying prisoners so little. It costs x dollars/year to feed and take care of a prisoner.

A working prisoner helps provide part of that income reducing the burden on the state, in turn the tax payers.
> The point is that you can't trust anything on the disk.

But the disk is where my choice of software lives. I trust my choice of software, by definition. I don't want to be removed from that equation any more than I want someone else sleeping with my wife.

If I don't trust my (current) on-disk bootloader, the appropriate thing to do is clean it and put something I do trust in its place. If I wake up hearing a noise, I check my house for intruders - I don't lock myself out and throw away the keys.

The reality is that any chain of trust has to start somewhere. It should start in the place I have the most control: on physically-removable, writable media.

Wow, I thought this was hackernews, where longer, in-depth comments were welcomed, not insulted. And certainly not used against the person. It's like I'm in the youtube comment section...

> The problem with ads is that they slow down the internet significantly

Irrelevant. Again, without ads, there simply would be no internet at all. You completely underestimate just how much innovation has been the result of ads. Hell, the entire first internet bubble was due to the promise of advertiser money. I suggest you read up a bit on the history of the internet, specifically from 1995-2002.

> You make it sound "it is just an advertisement" while ignoring all the reasons people block this stuff.

That's because OP didn't mention that in their prior comment. The conversation wasn't about that. Otherwise I would have. It was irrelevant to the direction the conversation was headed.

> An adblocker makes for way less malware on a machine and a way speedier browser.

That doesn't change the fact that ads fund the internet. As more and more people use ad blockers, you're going to get to a point where you won't need ad blockers anymore. Think about it. :)
People often go into PhD, like I did, to do research and contribute to the public good. Most people like me dreamed of an academic job with tenure. Tenure so that you can actually do radical work without retribution.

That environment no longer exists. Tenure is highly fought for and there are very few positions. And even if you get tenure, you really don't have the luxury to work on anything you wish because of funding. A good portion of your days as an academic consist of teaching, another good portion is writing grants. If you don't do the popular thing, you don't get grants. If you don't get grants you don't get students.

And sadly, without students that means that you don't get to do much research because the majority of your time is teaching and dealing with grants and other bureaucracy. As my former supervisor put it: you get time to do research yourself when you get home after work.

So you have time, but not much. Most profs use this time, but it's just not enough without grants and students.

Ok, so let's go to industry. You get paid a lot more. You get to do primarily research. But it's not public. It's mostly locked up and directed to ultimately lame purposes like targeting ads or making trades. These help no one and don't help society, so it's really not very enticing to an academic hopeful.

And yes, these researchers do fall off the radar because they stop publishing. They may file patents, but the only people who read those are lawyers. This is because patents are not papers. Their primary purpose is law, and they don't contain any of the information an academic would be interested in. You generally can't reproduce a work from a patent, and patents don't include any requirements of proving your invention works, which is the primary requirement of science.

To make matters worse, the patent office typically patents extremely simple things that aren't even worth the attention of someone trying to achieve state of the art. Essentially patents are a huge joke, so nobody looks at them, either in academia nor industry engineers.

TLDR: people go into academia to make the world a better place and do novel research that gets published to the world for free. Academia is increasingly a bad way to achieve this and industry doesn't achieve this at all. Though industry does get you paid so ends up being the fall back, even if you fall off the map.
The manufacturer took their standard product - ibuprofen - and repackaged it for different ailments under their brand name.

Unless one of your user submitted photos of an Apple laptop happens to contain their desk chair that you don't notice is a designer chair. The first you may know about this is the copyright troll that purchased the rights to images of that chair sending you a speculative invoice after their chair recognising bot has trawled your blog. You might when you reflect on this hazard decide that your blog on Apple laptops is not worth the risk. This is an example of a chilling effect.
> But the content itself isn't yours.

Correct. I never said it was mine. That still doesn't give you rights over what software I run on my computer.

> You are not entitled to view that content

Correct. You can choose not to send it to me.

The difficulty you seem to be having is that the you don't seem to understand what your rights are. You can choose not to do business with me. You can also prevent me from distributing extra copies of your work (copyright).

You do not have the right to control how someone uses your work after you hand it over. This is known as the doctrine of first sale[1]. In spite of a lot of people trying to pretend they have rights over how content is used, wishful thinking doesn't create rights contrary to past court decisions.

> expectation

For the 100th time, an expectation is not a contract.

> It seems like this whole debate has been boiling down to semantics and "technicalities".

What you call "semantics and 'technicalities'" are the law.

> The anti-ad people are looking for anything to justify their entitlement.

Advertisers and their apologists are trying to cover up years of legal missunderstanding and business models that depend on an incorrect understanding of the alw. It's easier to accuse others of "entitlement" than admiting your business model is going to fail.

Oh, and that "entitlement"? We are entitled to something - the law.

> Let me ask you a question: [click-through model]

Yes, that would be fine, assuminng the click-through makes a proper offer (which shouldn't be hard).

> It shouldn't be.

But one of those makes a contract, and the other is wishful thinking and in some casses a deliberate attempt to mislead.

If you think that creating a proper contract is too much of a burden and will drive away traffic, then you might want to realize that the market is trying to inform you what the actual value of your "content" is.

> They need to remind our entitled generation just how content subsidization works.

Do you really think people simply don't understand this? I've never met anyone who didn't understand that some things currently depend on advertisements for income.

Now when are you going to start understanding how contract law works?

They do pay, but they pay in hardware.

They have dedicated staff to promote product placement and according to a Hollywood movie maker, "Apple won’t pay to have their products featured, but they are more than willing to hand out an endless amount of computers, iPads, and iPhones".

It is actually a very unethical practice if you think about it in monetary terms. Rather than paying the film company above the table like ethical companies usually do, they outright bribe the prop department staff by giving each of them gifts worth thousands of dollars for preferential product placement.

Industry researchers don't do things in public and don't publish? Lame purposes and helps no one?

Again I just can't relate any of that to what I know at all!

When I finished my PhD I moved into industry and basically kept working on the same project. I work for a megacorp, and almost everything I do is developed fully in the open (public GitHub repo, not a mirror), we publish several times a year at the same venues I did in academia, and everyone is free to benefit from what I work on from using the code, reading the code, reading the papers etc.

And this isn't unusual. I know many many people in the academic community who do almost exactly the same thing. Look at everyone in Microsoft Research, Oracle Labs, IBM TJ Watson, etc.
The point of a dataset is to serve as a representative sample of the full spectrum of possible input data. Datasets need to be properly classified, and with different elements / 'intricacies' well distributed.

Think of it as using Hacker News posts to illustrate what posts are on topic. You could give someone a better impression if you showed them 10 posts instead of just 3, but if the 10 posts were all on the same subject then it wouldn't be of any additional utility. And if you accidentally include an off-topic post, then that user is going to have a mistaken impression of the post.

As for video... that's a long story.

The reason AST editors look a lot like lisp is because lisp pretty much is just an AST. There's no technical reason the AST can't be a more complicated structure than a list, and you can present the AST any way you want - you don't have to show parenthesis. You can use mathematical symbols, whitespace, images, fonts...

The problem is the further away you go from lists of symbols, the more complicated the AST is to edit and to present to the user, and the more complicated the interface is for the user. It's not an insurmountable problem though.
