Not at present I am afraid. But I will confess I mainly pushed toward getting it done and went with kindle because I knew that platform. I will do some homework on this.
Chrome allows extensions to have automatically synchronized settings. Blame the extension if it doesn't use the feature.
I would think that customers are reasonably sophisticated when it comes to stuff like this, particularly when they are spending real $$$. How difficult is it, for something like brand advertising, to do before/after poll's to discern how effective the dollar spend is in promoting a brand (with conversion to sales, it's even more trivial.)

Done properly, the customer doesn't actually care if 99% of the exchange inventory and impressions are fraudulent, as long as they accomplish whatever objectives they set out to.

Put more explicitly, if the objective for an advertiser (or, more likely, their agency) is to build awareness of a brand, they can measure a measure awareness among their target group, run a few million dollars of advertising, and then measure awareness again to see the difference. Done with enough customers, and enough programs, you start to get a very clear sense of where the dollar is best spent.
On the other hand, I like that websites are unable to query my phone to find out what apps I have installed.
I just bought a bunch of parts and I got them all from newegg, specifically in support of them fighting the good fight on patent trolls. In nearly every case, newegg was a little more expensive than at least one other supplier—but not by very much, and totally worth it. (Nice side benefit: ordering all the parts from one place meant the orders were aggregated into less deliveries....)

Ask HN: SSL is free now, why domain names are not
Thanks to letsencrypt and others, now SSL is free, but why same is not happening with domain names?

I think if fraudulent (or lots of) name registrations will be fixed, then it is possible to make domain name registration free (like telegram did for their bot names, max was 20name last time I checked)
It was Chrome.

It's interesting that Lee's style is similar to Carlsen: Lee Sedol's dominating international performances were famous for shockingly aggressive risk-taking and fighting, contrary to the relatively risk-averse styles of most modern Go professionals.

You may also consider echo cancellation software that is capable of doing server side echo cancellation that can handle the long echo tail. For example, take a look at the options provided by SoliCall.

It might not make sense to you, but do a little research and you'll find your conclusion is unfounded.

By law (usually state), the ratio of caregiver to child is much lower when the child is under 5. There's documented rationale for it too.[0] Also, there is a ton of research now suggesting the importance of education at that age as a function of interaction of words with parents.[1] So to suggest that "small children are better off exploring the world on their own, and making social connections on their own" is IMHO a very dangerous conclusion without understanding all of the implications associated with it.

OK. Let's say domain registration becomes free. Now I want to register all remaining domain names. What's stopping me? Artificial limits of domains per person? That's not really fair, because some people really need to buy domains to prevent cybersquatting.

The current system isn't perfect, but it's better than open, free registration.
The current proposed UHV DC systems are not sophisticated switching regulators. They still use 50/60 Hz AC transformers to change the voltage but use electronic commutators to convert this to DC and back to AC (and is reversible). The commutators actually use thyristors (they can only be turned on, and depend on AC momentum to turn off). It means the receiving end of the power must have large AC machines (power generators).

Take a look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter
It mentions IGBT based commutators which do not require AC machines, but which are less efficient.

I think all the thoughts about the switching harmonics being horrendous are correct.
What stops anyone from squatting all the domain names possible?
It does :). There is also an ecosystem developing around it, e.g. the xhyve tool:

What XMPP did right:

- Any chat protocol must be extendable
- Federation is good

What could have been better

- Regular users don't want to run their own server
- Overcomplicated specs with optional bits (MUC, Pubsub)
- Encryption should be mandatory from the start
- Logging/history is important

Other lessons

- Device sync is important
- If you have multiple devices or clients; commit log style is best (see new MIX spec vs MUC spec).
- In the modern world, people are afraid of XML
- 95% of people still don't understand XML namespaces

-------------------

But XMPP isn't dead (and doesn't have to be).
New interesting XEPs are being working on:

- MAM
- MIX aka MUC2
- OMEMO
Fortran it was for money :). But really the built-in array operations made it surprisingly sweet. The others it was just an excuse to learn the language mostly for fun.
That's a contradiction. If some companies are "spending ridiculous amounts of money" on Google, that's evidence of increased revenue for Google. It's not hard to believe that both Google and Facebook are growing.
While it does sound like she's trying to sound like a man, I'm not sure if it's forced. Even if it's not her real voice, it's natural to have a different voice when speaking as a CEO in an interview (it may only be slightly off from her real voice). Her voice is consistent across interviews, so I don't think it's as fake as you might assume.

I love stackstorm, and chatops, but don't quite see how it's comparable to this cloud project.
I've seen this argument before. The problem is that it doesn't consider the nature of git—every clone is a backup copy of the entire repository. Even if github lost every single repo tomorrow, only a small percentage of projects would actually be lost forever.

This is also the reason that GitHub is fundamentally different from source forge. If GitHub were to turn evil tomorrow, everyone could just upload their project to gitlab or bitbucket and carry on.
XML was probably a mistake. Strong, deniable, end-to-end encryption should be mandatory. The Axolotl ratchet is the current state-of-the-art: maybe it does asymmetric things we don't need, or maybe that's helpful.

Looking forward: metadata protection. This is a much more difficult-to-solve problem, but existing tools such as Tor are partially successful.
> What other group would you prefer to have a monopoly on violence?

The people. Governments can be illegitimate, e.g. not derive from the consent of the people, in which case government monopoly on violence yields oppression.

Violent revolutions are sometimes necessary in the course of human events. Without the people having the capacity to wage war on their government -- that is, the capacity for violence via the right to bear arms -- such revolutions are not possible.
> Fun fact, third party apps can't modify Chrome on Windows.

AVG managed to. [1]

Longevity has a cost. It ends up with outdated support and APIs. Software lives and has to evolve. That's why now all software has CI and code coverage test to allow agile development, which was not really the case at the time of applets. IMO, it is a good thing to deprecate things (even to remove them) it forces programmers to be more agile. Some corporate should try to start thinking this way.
The Ultimate Guide to Focus Your Mobile App in the Right Direction
I haven't ordered from newegg in a couple years, but this will motivate me to start buying from them again.
I think the point was more "don't spend because it's implied you need to spend" and instead just take time to think a bit about what you actually want/need. If you don't succumb to frivolous spending, that's great!

A lot of people have issues with frivolous spending though, and those who should be very well off based on their salary end up living paycheck to paycheck while accumulating things that just end up in storage or in a pile. Eating out all the time, buying stuff just because it's on sale, getting the newest and latest/greatest just because, it happens all the time and so much effort gets put into collecting and curating a mass of "stuff" that doesn't really ever prove valuable to the buyer. The author talks about the "keeping up with the Joneses" phenomenon, but it doesn't even have to be that expensive. Just look at how popular the "____"-crate market was for awhile. (still is?)

Neither the author nor myself is advocating that everyone must live a spartan lifestyle, but simply to review what it is you do put time, energy, and money into.

I can't imagine what Liz's end game might be. What did she expect to happen in this situation? The healthcare industry is very tightly regulated. If you want to (temporarily?) mislead investors or customers, it's one of the worst options out there.

And after a decade in stealth mode, why did she make things public in 2013, before the technology was working? If she's as much of an attention-seeker as some say, how did she survive for the first decade without anyone caring?

> And then we have the Congress in US with an approval rating in the teens and a re-election rate in the 90s [0].

Far be it from me to defend the United States Congress, but the two things--a low approval rating combined with a high reelection rate--are often presented as evidence for corruption.

Corrupt though they may be, it's a faulty measure--the approval rating is for all of Congress. Most Americans by default hate half of congress--the half in the opposing party--and disapprove of many of their own members.

Put another way, the approval rating has Bostonians evaluating congressmen from Houston, but most people end up reelecting their own congressman. "The problem isn't my congresswoman, it's the other idiots," etc.

There are other, unfortunate reasons for that, but that's a separate point.
Maybe it's just me, but hostility and name-calling like this seems to have become more and more common on HN in the past couple of months or so.
The problem with journalism is everyone wants it but hardly anyone will pay for it unless it directly helps them in some way.

So Bloomberg and the FT (trade press) have a business model, the BBC has the license fee so doesn't need a business model, and everyone else will go bankrupt slowly – note that none of the other para-news apps which were fashionable a while ago (Circa, Feedly, Google Reader, etc...) have come anywhere close to being financially valuable.
I've also found the NOAA forecast discussions to be head and shoulders above anything similar.
But putting CloudFlare in front of your site makes mass surveillance even easier than it would be for plaintext traffic without CloudFlare.

3 Curious Insights from Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan
Speaking of back pain, I injured my lower back quite badly about a year ago. I was doing bench press and wasn't able to complete the last rep. Instead of calling for help, I (stupidly) attempted to roll the weight down to my knees and then stood up and set it on the ground. I immediately felt a sharp pain, and for the next week I wasn't able to sit down (I had to constantly stand since bending was painful).

Ever since then, I haven't quite recovered. My back feels fine most of the time, but every few days it aches quite a bit. I recently tried to start working out again and the pain flared up immediately. I've spoken to a few serious weight lifters, and they've told me that reverse hyper machines can help rehabilitate mild lumbar disc herniations (which is what I have). I can't tell if this is "bro-science" though or something that actually works; a quick search on Google Scholar reveals nothing. Also, most gyms do not have reverse hyper machines, so I would have to drive out of my way to use one, or purchase one. Does anyone have any experience with these machines?
To top it all off, he played the villain in Jack Reacher, a Tom Cruise movie from 2012.
I really don't want XMPP to die, but I'm worried that it can only go down hill after the big players ditched it.

Is it possible for XMPP to make a major come back without their support? Would big players ever come back or are they too concerned with walled gardens?
Speaking of, what if they put up a check box at checkout where buyer could opt in to donate amount X or percentage of their total Y and let that go into a general "fight patent trolls fund". Even get other sellers to join "the consortium" --with oversight, of course.
As you know, there's a lot of good in XMPP. The part that I think causes the most difficulty is that it's based on XML. I don't mean this in the typical knee-jerk XML bashing sense. It's just that XML is ill suited for a stream-based protocol.

XML is amenable to extensibility, with its innate namespacing features. But this also made it difficult for beginners to use well and was easy to get wrong. The XML decision was really just a consequence of the times in which it was developed. It was a natural choice. If it were done again, it would be REST-based and use JSON as the data format.
If anyone would like to revel in the goosebumps this awesome article elicits, I found a sweet list of spiders in film up to 2007:

Your posting history suggests to me that you know the answer already. At the very least, you have a much more intimate knowledge of US laws and politics than your question, which is posed as a complete outsider, implies.

For example, you post about political "ponerology (study of evil in politics)" ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10548272 ), and bring up economics often. You also have a non-trivial knowledge of US political history, as with this comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10404379 :

> That's false, because the Democratic party today encapsulates both the old Republican and the old Democratic party. Hillary Clinton is essentially an Eisenhower Republican (if you place her into any European country she's in their conservative party), and Warren/Sanders are the left wing group.

> The republican party of today is essentially a business lobby masquerading as a party. Place it into any European country, and it will be a far right extremist group.

Did you learn American political history from going to school at Dartmouth? I think it's odd you didn't learn about any of the pollution laws during that time.

You also have pretty firm ideas on the topic already, based on your comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10142290:

> The US is a dystopia, no surprises there. What a shame that all humans are anymore are an outpost of corporate greed.

and at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10440304 :

> The more I think about it, the more I believe that the United States is the worst place to live if you are poor.

> There are places that are poorer, hell I'm from a third world country. But I've never seen anyone in the third world show utter contempt for the poor. No one keeps reminding the poor that it's their fault. We call them "unfortunate", Americans call them "losers".

(I'll note that two people, one with experience from India - where you are from - and Bangladesh, and the other with experience from Islamabad, disagree.)

I see you are familiar with being downvoted, such as like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10411502 where you propose "We should engage in a culling of humans." Then again, perhaps I am simply part of the "political-myopia of tech culture" that you bemoaned about at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10516056 .
You should write a longer description of these experiences and post it to HN. It seems likely to interest people.

Edit: metadata protection, I mean. I'm not disputing the need for encryption.
There is a long track record and large body of research on this topic in economics, and there's no need to reinvent the wheel as the results are well known and largely uncontroversial. TL;DR: Money outperforms vouchers and stamps.

I have been doing remote from Sydney for the past 9 years. Not sure about sites or directories (maybe try Stack Exchange jobs)

As sad as it is, I think it is significantly easier to find a US or Europe based company to work for from Sydney than an Australian based company.

All the friends I have that work remote are doing so for US based companies (GitHub, Docker and me at Discourse)

Sydney based companies in usually will only offer you a day or two from home and even that is often pushing it.
SSL/TLS actually does support unverified encryption, but browsers have decided to disable it because the UI for "encrypted but non-verified" is deemed too confusing for users.

I appreciate you sharing your information as it came across as an honest attempt to be helpful, however I think you might find it helpful to read this post by Avinash Kaushik [1] and then reread my post. I do digital advertising for a living, and that post is what I recommend to all who are new to the concept of cross-channel attribution as it is a very complex topic from both a data, math, and business standpoint. Easily one of the biggest opportunities and problems in the ad industry at the moment (and has been for some time).
