I love this sort of non-intuitive research.

My neighborhood built a fancy public-funded park last year. It's amazing and all, but it cost an absolute fortune to build, especially when considering the park two blocks down! It's completely unbelievable that so much time and energy went into this park. Hell, once the park was finished, a two million dollar house was built right next to it. Go figure. It's completely feel-good civics and it seems to be getting harder and hard to explain why things like this are very bad for communities overall.

Silly anecdote - at the opening of the park's construction, there was a giant pile of puke on the sidewalk where the park's staff put a tent. When walking past them, my dog tries to eat the puke, the head of staff comes up to me and makes a comment about how he's probably just eating a brownie. Disregarding the chocolate nonchalance, she was completely oblivious to the giant vomit stain two feet aware from her until I corrected her. Talk about not seeing the trees from the forest.
What we need to do is stop subsidizing schools with loans that you can not default on, or get rid of through bankruptcy. Personal responsibility starts with the lender. When lenders know that they are not guaranteed a return, they will be more careful about who they give loans to, for what degree, and for how much. Which will then lead to lowering of tuition costs to reflect the economic value of the degree and the program.

The microcosm of excessively priced degrees has much to do with the rules of the system more than the choice of the student. 17 and 18 year olds are not developed enough to understand what they are getting themselves in to. The bankers who lend them and the schools which entice them know exactly what they doing. They have a lot of resources at their disposal to do so. 17 and 18 years olds might have a mom or dad who may be semi-literate in these things.

>> “It’s just scary to think somebody wants to know something about me and I have no clue whether it’s the NSA, the German police or North Korea,”

Well, Twitter is alerting about 'attacks' by nation states. So it won't be the NSA or German police. They need not attack and/or steal anything to get such information. But if they did, Twitter would certainly not be informing the target. So of the three options above, it must have been NK.

That need was filled by Prototype.js before jQuery. I remember the times when Rails defaulted to Prototype (author was a member of Rails core team, iirc). I also remember when we still had to choose between the two for the new project and I was unhappy if the choice was Prototype. So they both solved the problem, but jQuery's solution was more focused and way more elegant.

I'm not arguing that any bundleware is a badware risk. At all. I was arguing that it's disingenuous to block 400,000 projects on SourceForge because of 10 that do bundleware that's on the less worse end of the spectrum (bad but less bad) while still allowing download sites that have much worse bundleware (closer to or actually malware, 10x offers instead of 2, more dark patterns making it more likely you make a mistake, installers that install bundleware even when you select not to, etc) to get through without an issue.

There are open crawl sets available. English is poor because I am on mobile (which is why i am not going to provide the links) one is called, i think, open crawl index.

However, like googlebot, the browser will of course be the actual crawler. Page requests are cached at the databank level, then at the users partition.

The problem is that the web is an rss feed but sites (with valuable info) are blocking crawlers, except google. This creates informational asymmetry.

Since almost all search engines try to emulate page rank, we dont have diversified results, however all our search info is aggregated.

The browser wont "block" adds because it won't ever return websites. It will literally only return (how I imagine v1) to return html snippets and they can be iterated over rapidly.

Tracking won't matter. I haven't worked out exactly how to do it, but i think that you will own a piece of a corpus (essentially there is one corpus, but you have it sort of mirrored to your silo) you can make requests to the corpus to fetch data or to go out into the internet and get raw data. It is returned to your cache (and the global one) then your processing is done locally.

* browser is the feedreader, network and platform

* users sell bots and crawlers to users

* users sell sorted data sets to users

* users sell algorithims to users

* browser is a market maker

Storage so cheap processing power is so good a 20gb cache of data can sit locally. And you can fetch newer data or swap it out for other stuff. You also can store post-processed analytical data in the cloud
Ask HN: How effective is the honeypot-captcha?
I have often used the honeypot captcha idea (http://haacked.com/archive/2007/09/11/honeypot-captcha.aspx/) over the years and it has been successful for me. But have bots evolved over the years to beat this approach? Has anyone had a bad experience with it?
yea I made up. But if you've been in any Meteor forum topics about NPM and support for modules etc, it would would make more sense. Meteor exists as a layer on top of NPM. It has done a lot of harm to its marketability. "Bare metal" in this case is a good thing, it's sought after deeper control which the Meteor community has awakened to realizing is a must.

Why will it be any different this time compared to last time with GWT, Dojo or SproutCore?

Server - client binding javascript widget frameworks are nothing new, and they have, historically, failed to be capture broad adoption because they require a very specific backend.

If you had an excellent series of react components with data binding done via an open server specification and meteor just happened to be one implementation that backend; people would really dig that!

...but there would be a lot of people who didn't use meteor at all; and just wrote their own server implementation for it.

“but wait, if we end up using React, Relay, and GraphQL,
what do we even need Meteor for anymore?”.
...
This all boils down to one key fact: Meteor is the only
framework that controls the whole stack.

So what? Who cares? Controlling the whole stack isn't even remotely interesting unless there's some tangible benefit from it.

This is by far the weakest and least compelling part of this article.

So this is my vision of the future of web development
for 2016. React as a common front-end standard, and
Meteor starting out as one of many possible back-end
choices, but slowly becoming the one that just makes
sense.

You really need to try harder to explain why Meteor would be a compelling choice for people then.

If the front-end component api is well defined and backend agnostic, meteor seems to offer literally no particular benefit over any other backend someone might choose.

What if we replace "best" with "good enough for most common uses"? Most of the roads and bridges we build today aren't pinnacles of innovation, they're just good enough that we don't bother optimizing them much more. With how young the software engineering field is I don't think we'll get to this point in the near future, but part of me looks forward to a day when we have widely accepted standard solutions to common problems that don't go out of style for decades.
gcc is already beginning to lose traction to llvm.
I agree whole heartedly thats what i am getting at... jQuery succeeded not by trying to be everything but by trying to solve a real straightforward common issue that affects big projects and small projects, super senior developers and junior developers...

I am not suggesting we go back to jquery, i am suggesting that the next really successful widespread framework is going to get adopting by solving a specific widespread problem in a way that appears simple to the consuming developer...

as for jquerys run, it had the best run of any javascript framework in history, by a wide margin... and it really got supplanted not by other frameworks, or even by just losing popularity... it was so successful that it drove all the modern browsers to adopt its api and build it natively into the browser engine...
Urgh, what happens for a site when there are no adverts on the site?

Are "clean adverts" then placed on the site?

If the answer to this is yes, I'll be blocking the user-agent from my sites. I serve cache:no-transform and HTTPS to specifically prevent people mucking around with the page. I already deliver a fast and clean website.

This reminds me of when Virgin Media in the UK (an ISP) wanted to put adverts on pages without my permission. It really isn't a help.
Connect-Disconnect cycle performance doesn't have much to do with a cable's "rugged"-ness, i.e. robustness to normal stressors encountered during normal use. I've destroyed a million percent more Micro-USB cables than previous USB standard cables because the connectors are prone to irrevocably deforming when stepped on or when the cable gets lightly tugged up or down when plugged into a device.

Simply put, connect-disconnect cycles aren't the biggest threat that USB style cables encounter in normal use, and so this metric has little to say on the topic of cable ruggedness.

Silly question - why are is everybody talking about jQuery in the past tense and why are you saying it "did not succeed"?

It just got a beta release of a major version less than a week ago, it's a core part of Bootstrap, which just about anyone building webapps has used at some point, and depending on whose statistics you look at[1], powers a frankly absurd number of sites, including things everyone's heard of like Microsoft and Yahoo and Amazon.

That's the opposite of a has-been thing that did not succeed in my book.

> WHAT WOULD A CITY look like if it suddenly needed 90 percent less parking?

...Amsterdam?

> Take New York City, where there are roughly 102,000 public parking spaces below 60th Street—taking up roughly 18.4 million square feet, a space equal to about half of Central Park.

> "San Francisco is going bananas for new housing, and Manhattan is always looking for space, and here we have this sitting in front of us," Samaras says. "That's what autonomous vehicles can do."

You don't actually ned autonomous cars to do this. Just get rid of the parking (or, start charging market rate for it, and use the money to fund transit).

There is an MTA trunk line on almost every avenue, and I'd argue that the ones without subway lines, as well as the major crosstown streets, should be turned into Portland Transit Malls. Enough with being nice to people that drive personal cars into Manhattan.

> the prohibition against polygamous or polyamorous marriage is about the imposition of arbitrary criteria placed upon what does or does not constitute a marriage.

Once again you're stating the obvious to no logical effect. Some arbitrary criteria is the foundation of every law by definition; the point, which you keep side-stepping, is that prohibition of poly marriage does not meet the definition of discrimination since the law affects all people equally without regard for their individual traits. I understand that you're trying to paint me as a hypocrite because you think they're equivalent, but they're clearly not; to suggest otherwise is like saying prohibiting black people from entering your restaurant is the same as prohibiting more than 10 people from entering your restaurant... Give me a break.
I never liked vast seas of parking or sprawl. It's not my thing; I like compactness. I prefer safe, crime free, walkable mass transit centered communities. I think it's more aesthetic, is better use of land, it's a healthier way to live, to experience the place you grow and die in.

But, I loathe people telling people how things should be and what should better. Things will change organically, just as they organically changed from sodden cow and horse manure filled roads to paved, car filled roads. So too will cars acquiesce to something else. But stop, stop the condescension and promulgation that all that is car is bad. When something better comes along, people will choose the better thing.

For good or bad, in the US, China, Japan, Europe and Africa, people choose cars when they're useful. Cars aren't foisted onto them. Yes, choices in development matter, but that's an altogether different topic.

Back to aesthetics, while I would enjoy fewer cars and parking spaces, I do not look forward to buildings built closer together like in the middle ages. They're nice when you're taking a stroll, but they are impractical for emergencies, when people need to evacuate, when emergency vehicles need access. I prefer wide streets even in the absence of cars [ever experience mid rises banging against each other in an earthquake?]

Not really. I didn't tell anyone "my idea", but several people copied it after my site was released (afaik, we were first of kind). One of them eventually eclipsed us, despite our one year head start, by making extensive use of the owner's existing spam and "SEO" network. Their site was a cheap knockoff, and the product was objectively worse in every meaningful category. The only reason one would use them instead of us is because they didn't know about us, which eventually became the case more often than not.

A lot of tech people in the SV bubble are oblivious to it, but there is a tech scene out there in flyover country where wealthy salespeople and marketers just do a bad job of ripping stuff off with cheap labor from oDesk and then use spam tactics to overcome the other guy, who is usually a developer slaving over something in his off hours and spends most of his free time trying to improve his product, and therefore does not have an extensive spam network to exploit.

Aside from this actually happening to me, I personally know 2 guys who have gotten rich from doing this, I accidentally interviewed at a place that does it, and I have a couple of friends who work for people that do it or something approximating it.

If you have an online business that's starting to do well, I think it's a good idea to get working on a patent for it before the filing deadline (1 yr from public disclosure) and before these guys notice you.

There's kind of this myth in the tech scene that you need to be productive and creative to make something that does well. Maybe that's true if you're going to take your company to a $10B market cap, but there are plenty of people doing 10s of millions, in and out of tech, without any of that on stuff that you probably don't even notice or think about.

What were the 12 that you ticked off? I would love to see an idea that hit 12 of them - I can’t think of an idea in history that has hit 12 if you mark fairly.

From my conversations with people about this list there seems to be quite a divergence in how people are marking off if their idea meets a criteria or not. For example, people consider that their idea is not easy to replicate because someone like them could not easily replicate it, not what a well resourced team could do. It is very hard to find an idea that can not be easily replicated with the right resources. I should do a follow up post on how to do this so you don’t fool yourself into think your idea is better than it really is.
No. SSH connections break when I close my laptop. Probably happened several hundred times by now. The ssh executable terminates in this scenario exactly never.
