They have the right to nuclear energy, I'm not disputing that and if they weren't an enemy of Israel and a murders fanatic country - Israel, and me personally, wouldn't have a problem with that.

Not signing the NPT means nothing just like signing it means nothing. You look good on paper but that's about it.

Even tho Iran signed the NPT it violated it numerous times and resumed its enrichment program even after the security Council passed a resolution demanding that Iran suspend its enrichment.

Indeed you are correct they didn't say they want to destroy Israel with nuclear weapons but they did say that they want to destroy it, does the means change that fact?

And if they said that and they did/are trying to procure nuclear weapons what should we think of that? Would they just stay in the silos collecting dust? You western logic and it's all going to be alright doesn't not apply here.

And I counteract that Israel is the elephant in the room, just because you say so, it's another argument to delegitimize it for no other reason but to just do that.

I used to use the station they trialed this in at rush hour frequently, and over the course of an hour I could believe 3,000 people ended up queueing for escalator space, which is compounded because people are trying to cross the standing queue to get to the right side and walk up. You've also got the flow of traffic from the down escalator doing the same thing.

It sounds crazy, but Holborn really does have vast amounts of traffic in the morning and evening, frequently enough that they'd have to shut the gates until the platforms had cleared enough to fit more people in.

I'll bite.

Regarding your assertion:

I'm not sure that follows. TCP/IP's primary design point was avoiding centralized network failure in a nuclear war, so you can't strongly claim that it is responsible for heirarchies (i.e. Star) we see in modern topology -- that's likely due to other forces like cost optimization (eg branching structure is a common feature of such optimizations).

Now this isn't to say that TCP/IP is efficient for all decentralized networks. And I think there are quite a few points that make mesh networks challenging... But you could also argue that for the interplanetary network protocols as well, so I think it's not so much the concept of decentralization, it's more the specific constraints of mesh or interplanetary that are unsuitable for TCP/IP.

Regarding the quote:

This argument seems to be partly based on economies of scale and how they are currently applied. But internet economies can be platforms as well as products.

Platforms have a strong tendency towards monopolies (i.e., Apple App Store, Uber, VISA). But even in platforms, they may centralize wealth by treating customers as resources, or they may distribute wealth by treating them as partners.

As we race towards the so-called "gig" economy, I think a key differentiator in platform providers will be the extent to which they grant power to their users as partners in creating value.

This changes the classical idea of monopoly quite a bit as the old concept merely controlled a market for maximum exploitation of its consumers. If consumers are given back some power in terms of profit sharing, content creation, value creation, the Internet could be an extremely vitalizing force.

You see this in spates: Etsy, Steam, Heroku.

Maybe greater collaboration will be necessary to drive increasing efficiencies. The key point might be "central management" vs "empowerment" rather than platform, product, monopoly etc.

After having played around with Rust a bit and seeing it used in some non-trivial applications I've grown to like it a lot, despite being an initial skeptic. However it's aggravating that in every post about Rust which raises valid criticisms about the language (in this case having to do with the ease with which C allows you to do low level programming), those associated with the Rust project leap to its defense and suggest that Rust's decisions are right for every situation.

Just because Rust can't easily do things that C can doesn't make it a bad language, but it does mean that, shockingly, there are somethings that Rust isn't as well positioned for as other languages are.

Similarly, there are things that C is bad at. Both at the high level and the low level. At the low level it hides too much of the CPU's features so for some very low level programming you need to drop to assembly. At the high level it has obvious deficiencies, many of which Rust addresses, but for interfacing with the actual hardware it is tough to beat C in terms of convenience.
Damn, yeah, same for me actually. After I found out that Microsoft was including that crap in updates for Windows 7 & 8, I also completely disabled Windows Update.

It would be really nice if there was some site that kept an up-to-date database listing of all the KBXXXXXXX update numbers that include this crap (up-to-date being the key here since Microsoft actually renames old KBXXXXXXX numbers every once in a while to include the same crap the old KBXXXXXXX did).

A substantial portion of the need for glasses is caused by kids not getting enough time outdoors. Apparently some mix of very bright light exposure and long-distance focusing is required for proper eye development.

The "legacy systems" explanation of maintaining outdated software is vanishing with the rise of the modern web browser and the cloud. The local machine has less and less responsibility to run anything beyond a browser.

...and the freedom, control, and privacy the user has over his/her computing experiencing is also vanishing along with it. That is the biggest and scariest issue surrounding this trend.
Indeed—so hostile that it can only be deliberate. It's an example of why we will probably add the Principle of Charity to the HN guidelines: http://philosophy.lander.edu/oriental/charity.html.

The problem isn't merely the dishonesty of trying to make a person and/or their argument sound much worse than they are. It's the degrading effect it has on the rest of a discussion. Once bystanders see that it's ok to throw concern for the truth out the window and optimize for indignation, other standards drop as well. I don't know if it's true that sharks go crazy when they smell blood, but that's what this effect reminds me of. It seems to be worse these days, and the Principle of Charity might be a rampart against it.
Long, steep escalators like that make a challenging

Eh, we've collectively read at least a few of pg's essays; I think it's fair to say that we know him better than you do :)
Hmm, it sounds like a very indirect payment method to me -- I pay taxes here in AU, and abc.net.au exists. It's even more indirect for my usage of (for example) the bbc's web services, given that I pay neither UK taxes or TV licence.

Those services are funded in the same way that broadcast TV is funded.

It's also perhaps a smidge disingenuous to suggest there is no cost to the user for having advertising inflicted upon them. Hence the interest in ad blockers. Which I think is where we came in. : )
I thought that in the Southern Hemisphere, you had to use the Up escalator to go Down, and vice-versa.
That's some fine dystopian fiction you've written there. Back in the real world though, its not like there's police enforcing the current norms of standing to the left, pulling people aside to issue tickets for blocking the right hand side. At the worst someone doing so will be asked to move by a walker.

What makes you think we'll suddenly see some sort of escalator police formed to enforce these norms?
These are valid concerns but it's conflating the issues between advertising structure and the reality of the implementation as discussed.

The advertising model is egalitarian. Everyone, regardless of who they are, can see the same content as it's indirectly subsidized by advertising.

However as you've described, there are certain real-life issues. Users who block ads are at fault for, well, blocking ads and not taking part in the value exchange, skewing the business economics. Ad networks that run bad scammy ads are at fault for a lack of standards. Advertisers who spread malware are at fault for being criminals who want to infect users. These are all issues we face and are similar to any other industry where the ideal mechanics are affected by bad actors.

I absolutely agree that this is mainly brought about by the lack of standards, regulation and enforcement that has led to such a consumer backlash. However I dont believe that this is the end of advertising but rather a very good opportunity to finally force the change that's been sorely overdue.

> There aren't too many figures in the business or tech world that I actually admire, and I was really disappointed when a guy that has been this lucky is too scared to acknowledge that life simply isn't fair, and that hard work isn't always enough.

I think you've seriously misunderstood his last essay, and should read it again with a less emotional and more logical eye. He acknowledges the truth of exactly what you said in the opening of the essay:

> The solution to this puzzle is to realize that economic inequality is not just one thing. It consists of some things that are very bad, like kids with no chance of reaching their potential, and others that are good, like Larry Page and Sergey Brin starting the company you use to find things online.

> If you want to understand economic inequality—and more importantly, if you actually want to fix the bad aspects of it—you have to tease apart the components. And yet the trend in nearly everything written about the subject is to do the opposite: to squash together all the aspects of economic inequality as if it were a single phenomenon. ( http://www.paulgraham.com/ineq.html )

"Kids with no chance of reaching their potential", i.e., life that is not fair. He explicitly acknowledges this right up front, and yet you accuse him of arguing the opposite or failing to recognize it. I find this point of view frustrating.

The thesis of PG's essay is that inequality is not a single phenomenon, and has some bad parts, but also some unavoidable parts. To simplify what he said, some people are more productive and driven than others, and technology amplifies this difference.

("Some people are more productive and driven than others" should not be a controversial statement. I would perform drastically worse at quarterbacking an NFL game than every single NFL quarterback. Many people would perform drastically worse at my job than I do.)

Note that by definition incandescent bulbs have a CRI of 100.

The CRI is calculated by looking at the colors reflected by a particular set of 14 paint chips under the lamp being analyzed, and comparing it to either illuminant D65 (representing daylight) or to an incandescent bulb, depending on the lamp’s color temperature. The color from the paint chips undergo an outdated type of chromatic adaptation transform, and are then compared to the colors under the reference illuminant, using colorimetric distance in the outdated 1964 CIEUVW color space. To find the final CRI take the arithmetic mean of all the distances, scale it, and subtract from 100. Most of the choices in this process are somewhat arbitrary.

CRI numbers are an okay first approximation to judge how much a particular lamp will muck with color relationships, but when you get to the precise details it gets pretty arbitrary, and the spec is heavily gamed by lighting vendors, because it’s one of the main values they report. Take CRI numbers with a big pinch of salt, and try looking directly at a chart of emission spectrum if you can, or ideally get a bulb and try looking at various objects under it for better understanding.

I had briefly the misfortune of working with Windows 8. Double clicking on a PDF resulted in some sort of PDF reader opening up in fullscreen, without any obvious way of turning it into a normal window. I eventually resorted to installing a third-party PDF reader. If that's the new black, I can understand why people would want to stick with Windows 7.
I honestly don't understand what you think I'm justifying. I submitted it as a piece of valid content and it was voted up by the community like any other story. I don't see how the submitter has any bearing on the content itself.

As for the article itself, it's a well-written, factual, detailed piece on ad-blocking. My affiliation as a guest writer is at the top of the page in the byline. The 2 sentences can be seen as promotional perhaps but they have no effect on the rest of the text and are actually on-topic in the section they're in where I'm discussing better approaches to the current status quo.

I submitted this to TechCrunch and it passed all their reviews. I did bring up the fact that I included my company in the article but they had no objections and I defer to their judgement as the owning publication. Maybe the byline should be bigger but that's out of my control.

Regardless, thanks for the feedback. Can you let me know how it would've changed your perception if I didn't include those 2 lines?

EDIT: Judging by the downvotes I'm saddened by how many HN readers can't seem to let content stand on it's own merits.
I hope this catches on. Just the right level of abstraction. Easy to learn, yet feature rich.
For me too. With proprietary software it's all about trust. You can't trust Microsoft anymore. What they have done with recent Win7/8 security updates and Win10 is obscene and more than just shaddy business. Win10 also has hardcoded whitelisted domains and IPs in the kernel mode network code - the only way to avoid the phone home crap is to run in behind a thight hardware firewall (good luck with a notebook/tablet/phone). Only with the expensive LTSB license the admin can deactivate all the bad elements of Win10. With Win10, the user is the product. How dare you! Why do they get away with this? No other operating system is such a trainwreck, not even close. Why is Microsoft such a mean company?
Because a low voltage power supply for the micro is quite expensive generally, compared to everything else. Plus you're probably adding a PCB and more BOM parts. There are some ways to make cheap non isolated supplies, but then the microcontroller can't be wired to any external low voltage I/o.

Of course, if you already have a PCB and power supply, then it makes total sense and most products that meet this criteria are microcontroller based.
If it's not different, it suggests that you believe the chance of the existence of god is equal to that of there being advanced alien civilizations with technology beyond our comprehension.

Neither does anything in the way of real explanation, but if you believe that advanced alien civilizations are likely to exist (which is a fairly defensible argument based on things we DO know) or have existed (depending on how far away what we're observing is), the likelihood is quite different.

Not that I'm saying it's aliens.

I wonder if this wouldn't also be illegal? I know the US has terrible regulation of privacy for private entities - but AFAIK plain text email is covered by the assumption of privacy, so listening in/reading it would be considered wire-tapping. I'm also not sure how much of that (if any) someone below 18 is able to legally sign away?

At any rate, an interesting article. It might have been interesting to set up something similar, just bundling an XMPP client and OTR, and having an XMPP-server per school/"cicrle" for pairing (could probably even require school logins for registering on sign-up -- just make sure to throw that information away (beyond possibly keeping age/gender tag).

With the caveat that secure, anonymous communication and "web browser" doesn't really mix -- it could probably be set up as web page/service too (Not sure if eg: Matrix has a web/js-client that does/tries to do client side OTR or equivalent?).

We had IRC, with chat-rooms per town -- as not everyone had Internet in the 90s in Norway. But that did afford some people pseudonymity.

If you pay taxes - isn't that a direct debit of funds from you and eventually going straight to the publisher of that content? Broadcast TV is usually a combination of both taxes, donations and ads.

For the BBC, can you explain what you're referring to specifically? I know their site does run ads and their iplayer content is region locked to the UK so assuming non-circumvention processes, I'm not sure what you mean. Of course there is completely free access to content sometimes but this is usually because the publisher has the luxury of income from somewhere else, so that can explain the BBC situation for you and how I can read abc.net.au from the USA.

And yes, nothing is completely "free" - I'm just arguing about monetary access. Ads means you're paying with attention which has it's own costs and externalities.

I haven't seen that at all. Since there are not many engineers can also take time to read the C.V.s.
Windows 8 is fine. Like its actually fine. I use it at home every day. I use Win10 at work. I can't even tell them apart.
