but surely the natural solution is to increase the number of informed people (education, PSAs, 'nudging' people towards being more informed). not to disenfranchise the poor.

Total revenue from the users who are willing to pay this might still be higher than the amount of users he loses who are not willing to pay $25 a month.

I'm not saying $25/mo is a good price point, however, personal experience has taught me that (at least on products I've launched) increasing prices has always led to more revenue and profit.
I think you have to be careful because there are two things that need to be separated:

1) the human digestive tract is adaptable -- this measures the amount of adaptation the individual is capable of.

2) evolutionary pressure selects individuals who are highly adapted to their environment (I.e. The others simply die off!) -- this measures the adaptations of a population towards diet.

Ex: Swedish ability to digest lactose in adults. Asian insulin response to high carb/rice diets.

It seems that if we really want to crack this nut, we should be looking at DNA data as well. I.e. This population gets this response with this diet, while that population has a completely different response.

And yes, unfortunately adding DNA populations makes all of this research even more complex than it already was.
I don't know about OVH. I know OVH built their Quebec DC, but I'd be surprised if their expansion plans don't include leasing space (if they don't already do it).

What's effaced from history is how closely the US supported Hussein's Iraq throughout the 80's, right up to the invasion in 1991. The US removed Saddam from the official terrorists lists, sold him advanced weaponry and weapon producing capabilities, including chemical weapons, and nuclear capabilities, at a time when he committed his most egregious crimes, including the gassing of the Kurds. Just before he invaded Kuwait Saddam was even visited by a high level us delegation led by Bob Dole.

Ask HN: Was Roswell a Department of Energy Coverup?
Back around 1997-99, I came across a 100-page posting on some random newsgroup which told a spectacular, but incredibly coherent, story that explained Roswell (other alien encounters), the rise in cancer rates, the Kennedy assassination (and more) all stemming from the U.S. nuclear program. About a week after I first found the story it just disappeared and I've never been able to find it until this day.

Whether or not the story was actually true or not, I don't know, but I always thought it would make one great book or movie. Did anyone else ever come across this?

The guy claimed that he was a Senior scientist at Oak Ridge. Some explanations he gave were:

Roswell: CIA extracted pygmies from South America and put them in balloons for nuclear testing.

The Kennedy Assassination: The U.S. passed a bill that made Department of Energy's nuclear program a matter of national security. After Jackie had a miscarriage, JFK blamed it on their tours of nuclear facilities and wanted to seriously curb nuclear expansion. The Department of Energy felt like they had the legal authority to remove the President which lead to his assassination.

Alien Encounters: Stories about cars seeing bright lights, radio issues, and losing power in their vehicles were explained by EMP testing.

Increased rates of cancer (Maybe the most contentious): Explained by far greater testing of nuclear materials than had been official reported.
The owner of a business is not an employee (at least in Austria). Therefore a one man company doesn't pay any wages. The owner just gets the profit that the company makes.

I'd argue that m3 and c3 instances shouldn't be classified as "previous generation", since the m4 and c4 instances don't have any local ephemeral storage. Given the recent EBS incident in GovCloud, I think it's still pretty reasonable to be skeptical of EBS.

I understand where you're coming from, but it's for purely technical reasons. The extension just plain wouldn't work without this enabled.

I avoided the "paste a URL" solution because that would mean that my server would need to fetch the content from other websites instead of each user's browser doing the work.

Until I have a better solution, for now you could resort to copying and pasting articles you'd like to read into the upload page: http://readlang.com/upload - it's not ideal perhaps, but should get the job done.
I imagine even grognards would describe many things as C/UNIX-style that actually have their roots in earlier systems.
Exactly the same here, just spent 2 minutes on it but not sure what it is for.
The guy who you're reply to is right. Selling to businesses will make you more money. Selling only 10 units at $99 a month will generate you $12k a year. Either that, or you need to raise prices significantly for consumers.
Just can't figure out what it is good for, or what's the purpose. Maybe some video could help explain describing what it acctualy is. Still I don't know :)

I remember - when I first got online access - trying to find the books mentioned in Lovecraft stories in the catalogues of various university libraries.

If you want a book that is filled to the brim with footnotes with references to fictional books you should consider reading "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell".
I'm not mixing anything up. I'm saying that many people prefer it (and actually I do too).

Saying that they are completely unrelated issues appears to ignore a minor detail called implementation(!?)

Almost every mainstream IM client requires you to sign out of one account and into another if you want to maintain separate accounts. That means that if you actually want to use them (ie, get instant messages instantly) you need to be signed into all your accounts at once.

While you may be young, you're smart. You already noticed that there's an issue with your lack of experience. The question is: How do you solve that issue?

Your success as CTO is mostly determined by yourself. Understand what's required of you. Start interviewing other CTOs at other startups and understand what their roles are and what they need to do. Build relationships with them so that you have a network of advisors if you ever need someone to have a chat with. Learn a lot. Do a lot of research. Do a lot of thinking.

Leadership is not all about experience. Leadership is also about listening. And all leaders start from somewhere. Once you have an open mind to learn, you'll realize that being a leader is about being courageous and responsible for the happiness of other people. It's also about helping to steer the ship in the right direction. But with all startups, you're making decisions on minimal information. What you need is a mind of learning. Test and learn and never assume you know it all. Then you'll be fine.

The salary issue is another big issue. Would it be worth to trade away your salary for the experience that you get? How will you survive? Do you have enough savings? Do you have a backup plan? If you're not getting any salary, then you should get significant amount of equity. And at this stage, as the CTO, will you also have to build the product? Job titles at early stage don't matter much.

Lastly, do you trust your boss enough that he will steer the ship correctly? Do you think he has what it takes to make it all work? And how is your relationship with him? Will he listen to your opinions or is he going to make all the decisions by himself?

Good luck
> More importantly, they would want features that I don't care about.

> I feel like I have a reasonable barometer for what's useful

Those two statements right there are holding you back. 1) You should ALWAYS be considering features that users want if you're trying to become profitable. If this was a charity app then sure, do whatever you want. BUT this is not, according to your blog. Put the user's needs before your own. 2) You may have a decent feel of what it takes to learn a language but I bet you a day of true market research would open your eyes to features/enhancements that you would have never even considered.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I think the app is really cool!
Youtube shows religious advertisements to children.

Youtube removed "related content" videos section for official Scientology material. This censors critique videos and breaches the principle that Google was founded on:

- To offer a search engine in the academic domain, where ranking is not decided by advertisers, but by link-weighted popularity.

As a comparison: A mobile phone manufacturer pays Google to remove the "related videos" for their videos, because one of those related videos talks about the dangers of driving while using a mobile phone.

Youtube embeds content hosted by Scientology on their Youtube profile page. This gives the Office of Special Affairs the IP (personal information) in their visitor logs. Scientology also places a cookie while surfing on the Youtube site. No confirmation is asked.

Scientology gets around the "all comments vs. no comments at all" by removing any negative or critical comment, and only allowing positive and astroturfing comments.

Even though religious advertisements used to be against their policy, they have since then taken money from religious institutes.

Advertisements are against Adwords TOS, when:

- Sites with content that incites or promotes hatred against a group or individuals.

- Content that encourages others to believe that a group or individual is inhuman or inferior

Scientology.org has content that promotes hatred against medical professionals. They vilify doctors for prescribing drugs for ADD. Factual quality of the content is low, while impact on the life of someone who believes all information there is high.

There is freedom of speech, and there is suiting advertisers. Google really needs to refind their balance. And be consistent in enforcing the rules, for instance their link-farm makes blackhat SEO's pale.
Thanks for that.

Excellent comment, but I lost you at::

> Most privacy advocates have a list of 'secrets' they fear will be used against them.

What makes you say that?
I think he makes valid points, as far as can be inferred from the first articles that probably only quotes things out of context. If you don't see that women and men are treated in different ways then you have massive political correctness glasses clouding your vision. Ever wondered why it is always you who has to take out the garbage (assuming you are male and in a relationship with a woman)?

The second article just seems ridiculous, building up a fantasy straw man just because SA used "pegs and holes" as a metaphor. The article assumes holes are passive and just there to satisfy pegs. SA did not invent penises and vaginas...
Congrats man! This is the first time I stumbled upon your extension and I have to admit, it is pretty neat and useful. I too have created one vocabulary trainer extension, but haven't released it as it way too unpolished and I am using a paid dictionary.

However, do you mind sharing some of your stats? Which language pairs are mostly used on Readlang?
I would say that the ignorance comes from unverified 3rd party sources. But isn't that where actual knowledge comes from? In the end we all put faith on other experts and choose to believe what they tell us is true. To this day I cannot for the life of me prove that we went to the moon or that global warming is real without citing sources created by other "experts."

So really I can't blame ignorant people. I only believe in global warming over the other opposing claims made by corporate sponsored studies only because one conclusion seems more likely then the other. I cannot definitively say that I believe in global warming because the logic categorically says it is true. There rarely exists any logic that tells me a=c because b=a and b=c, if you catch my drift.

I've only found such logic to exist for atheism. Yet a good number of people in this world are still ignorant in that regard.
I'm surprised. Most jobs advertised want competence in a range of things, not superstar status at one very specific thing.

Perhaps the difficulty is marketing the range of skills you have in a way that other employers will value?
I find this remark strange:

> 3. I thought about filters for sex and race at the same time, so that you could compare say, black female versus black male. But I liked the simplicity of one filter at a time better.

First, I got surprised why setting ethnicity erases sex.

Second, morality varies a lot with sex. So putting in the same basket male and female is, at best, trashing important information.
Hey, maybe you will find something interesting with the "Awesome" list on Github? https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
Oh wow, this is _exactly_ what I've been looking for lately. You might want to work on your advertising, because I've literally been looking for exactly this, because I'm currently learning Spanish, and never came across your app. I thought about asking Instapaper or someone to implement clickable word translation, or even considered writing my own web app.. I'm stupid enough that I never even thought about turning it into a business. But I'm happy that now I don't have to! I'll test it on my Android e-paper tablet for you and post a review.
Exactly, and what makes this easier is when an emotional event is attached because it clouds people's logic.
Trump doesn't care about his proposals being even remotely feasible. He's simply not interested in keeping the discussion within the realms of what people are likely to agree might work in practice.

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform

"Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]. We will not be taken advantage of anymore."

Mexico is never going to pay for the wall. I know it's been standard practice to make Latin American countries pay for US drugs policy, but this is over the top. "Impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages" is in particular going to be a Drugs War x2; how do you identify illegal wages? The gunboat diplomacy thing is likely to do huge damage to US-Mexican relations and probably contradicts NAFTA. Starting a trade war works in both directions: Mexico could start kicking out US companies.

"End birthright citizenship": he's put this under "Defend The Laws And Constitution Of The United States", despite the fact that it directly contradicts the 14th Amendment. This is probably the biggest anti-factual thing in the whole document, as it contradicts itself. It also results in stateless children, and the problem of trying to deport people from the US to Mexico who aren't Mexican nationals either.

"End welfare abuse. Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.": does that apply to tourist visas? Is this the end of the visa waiver programme? Either he's completely serious about ending tourism to America or he's eliding the fact that people will illegally immigrate on tourist visas.

I am one that never understood Evernote. I tried it once for college notes, went to create my "notebooks" and stuff. But it was not much different for me of a Google Doc, or a .doc or .txt file on my Dropbox. For tiny notes and lists, my Windows Phone One Note is all I need, and it works great.

So I just couldn't see what was all that about. I'm assuming here I was just looking at 5% of the product. But I still have absolutely no idea what else could Evernote do. The UX was all confusing and messy and hard to discover new things.

When people talked about how important Evernote was to their lives I would feel myself as I imagine how my father feels regarding the importance on my mobile phone on my life. He just have no clue what I do on my smartphone, and where he have clues (like brownsing the internet), it is just not that important to him.

A quick google searches and it seems that I cannot play this content on my TV in any reasonable way (right now the only thing connected to it is a Kodi setup. There are addons to play Netflix content, but they are unofficial and I found a couple different ones, some being forks of others: A mess).

Just like Amazon Prime this is something I'd be generally interested in. But I cannot consume the content, at least not as easily as local media or random grey (or plain illegal) sources. All hail DRM.

It's very ironic that most of these strategies were seen as ways to counter Soviet influence, whereas the opposite happened in practice: Moscow "lost" the Iranian revolution when it turned religious, and Iran went back to Russia only in order to counter US influence.

Absolutely, just because population A does well on some diet doesn't imply everybody does.

Actually that is for me often a good heuristic to discard most nutrition advice right away. A lot of recommendations I see include lots of diary products. Yet 16% or more of the (European) population are lactose intolerant (even more in other countries). So that advice simply can't be true, and it seems like a good idea to regard the rest of it with suspicion, too. I guess that at least shows it is not completely hopeless for the individual, some common sense might go a long way.

A lot of people are Fructose intolerant, yet the "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" advice won't die.

Then again there is a lot of fear mongering about milk going on. But the ability to digest lactose (as an adult) spread like wildfire at some point in time, seems to have had some evolutionary advantage.

"my body tells me what I need" doesn't reliably work either, because it might crave for sugar, alcohol and nicotine :-/

Nassim Taleb avoids foods that haven't been eaten by his population for thousands of years, for example Mangoes. Might be too extreme, but worth thinking about. Atm there is a new craze in my country about some new healthy grain from South America. I pass - it seems obvious that people can be healthy without that grain (because people have survived in Europe for millennia), so why risk it? So maybe if Bananas were a new fad I would feel the same way, I only eat them because they were already a fad when I was born.

Ok, I see how it can work. Thank you very much for your explanation!
Sounds like a great solution until you think it through and realise it would just skew politics even further in favour of the wealthy, not necessarily the towards the informed. In some small cases of the population it would work - for example I know people at similar income/background levels to me who would choose the scooter and I know I would choose to vote - but over a whole country it would be massively unfair.
