This could be useful though, as it provides the Geo-location.
To be pedantic (though I imagine that's acceptable in this venue) I'd say this is not kerning. Kerning is an optical adjustment between individual letter pairs to correct a deficiency in a historically evolved system, somewhat separate from tracking; tracking being an even application of positive or negative space applied to all characters in a sequence to stylistic effect.

I'd also go so far as to say kerning doesn't exist in these applications because the typeface has been significantly redrawn to create the desired shape. Even the FedEx logo, which appears to be an off the shelf font, had the be redrawn in order to make the letters line up to produce the hidden arrow. Usually optical corrections would have made the x not produce an exact right angle nor would it align precisely with the top of the E crossbar. At some point you're just drawing a logo, which can is not the same as a typeface.
I'll admit I spent a couple of minutes trying to establish a link between paired programming and the 'less than 3' before my teenage daughter helped dad out.
Dropbox easier to use on Windows, I will give you that. iCloud is DEFINITELY easier to use on Apple products.
I wonder if there might be prosecutions in 30 years. That's long enough for people to come around and for the perpetrators to still be alive. If evaluated as a strictly criminal matter, these are the sorts of crimes that do not have a statute of limitations, though the fact they were official duties might activate one.
Then don't use it. It's clearly designed for a specific use case and there's no reason to expect that use case to apply to every user of email.
If enough people were hit by a single entity, I wonder if a class action couldn't be formed?

Though the YouTube ToS might forbid something like that, it'd be nice to see people going after the people who spam bogus notices.

i have absolutely no authority to speculate, but i would guess you'd vent plasma to a heat exchanger by diverting only part of the stream with a controlled EM field, either periodically or continuously. You'd have to do it anyway to remove the helium and inject some fresh tritium and deuterium, right?

Too much prose generally hurts you, because words mean things.

Example:

What inference should I draw when you say "I know X, Y and Z, but my favorite is Z"? I need someone who is good at X.

Q: Should I call you?
A: I have enough drama, next.

Example:

You point out that you're reading Donald Trump's autobiography. I'm a member of one of the many tribes the Donald has a problem with.

Q: Will I associate you with him?
A: Probably.

Example:

You give me three emails. I need to contact you.

Q: Which one should I pick?
A: "None of the Above"

Does anyone actually use their search engine? I always found it terrible the rare time I have used it (if some dingus has it set to homepage). I know for me the only thing that makes me stumble across Yahoo, is if I use their answer site. Only other reason, I'd imagine, is if you used their mail. Beyond that though there must be no way of driving traffic to Yahoo search. Seems impossible to try upend Google's grasp, without a serious transition of product positioning (like the DuckDuckGo position). Such a poorly managed company. It seems Marissa is some strategist...

The question is about passive income, and, given interest rates, there aren't really any good options. If you're able to generate significant passive income at the ~2-3% rates[1], well, you probably already have a lot of money already, and should just focus on whatever you were doing to get that much.

Way too many comments in the thread branching off yours are answering the wrong question -- "how to grow your money in general" -- which is not the same as passive income.

I don't really see how ION tables are an improvement over arrays of arrays, e.g.:

{
"headers": [ "a", "b", "c" ],
"rows": [
[ 1, 2, 3 ],
[ 4, 5, 6 ],
]
}

Furthermore, ION appears to require you to know the length of your data up front, whereas you could use CBOR unspecified length arrays to stream data from your database without precalculating the table length. It seems like quite a niche format, though. Most data is not truly tabular.

Also, in the table it claims "Yes" under support for "Cyclic references", and yet further down the page:

> ION has support for expressing cyclic references between objects. At this point this support is not 100% finalized.

So surely this should be "Yes(*)"?

It'd be fantastic if it turned out that the Magic Leap demos were all just magic tricks set up to make it seem like it was really advanced VR technology.

Well, if an app developer can't figure out how to store and retrieve user data in a simple nosql database, or set up a simple cloud server, or believes a backend is not worth spending any time on, I wouldn't have high hopes for that app.
This is biased hokey.
JavaScript is very fast for what it's built to do, and it keeps getting faster and used for more applications.
Another problem is many JavaScript programmers actually don't know how the language works. They think they know how to use it because the barrier to entry is so low.
It is long past time that people start recognizing JavaScript as a real language and not some browser add on.
The crazy thing about Yahoo! was that they were actually in a pretty decent position just a few years ago. Alibaba exploded, Yahoo! is still the third most popular website in the world, and their finance and sports centers are still incredibly popular.

I think what we've seen is a complete failure to execute on any level. Compare that to someone like AOL who saw their brand tanking noticeably but intelligently diversified their business model.
There's no precedent for that in American history, though, and while the CIA torture program was unmistakably evil, it's far from the worst thing that has happened in the US over the last 100 years.

App Fatigue
> Lots of people have been creating threads about The Fine Bros, but I think we need to be angry at YouTube too. YouTube makes it exceptionally easy to file takedowns, no proof of validity required.

Its the "proper" way of doing things. If Youtube does anything differently, they would be held criminally liable through the DMCA (1996 law, which establishes the regulations of the modern internet)

Read up on laws before criticizing. There have been a ton of calls to rewrite DMCA to something more sane, but that requires:

1. A Political force to take on Hollywood (who lobbied to put such laws into place)

2. Congressional action, even though the current Congress can't even pass a freaking budget.

I personally think its a waste of time to even push on this front, there are more important issues in this country. But if you feel like this issue angers you enough, there are plenty of lobbying groups and activists you can join to call for DMCA reform. (Digital Millennium Copyright Act)

For the most part, everyone will just continue to complain about the laws that Hollywood lobbied and put into place, and then not do much about it. But just an FYI: this really isn't Youtube's fault.
As an otherwise-happy Dropbox customer, it does concern me somewhat that there has been very little innovation in the core product for several years. They seem focused on building a halo of lock-in services instead.
Just as a side note, some of the cheapest USB chargers have 1mm or so of clearance between high voltage and low voltage circuits, which places them one small accident away from the "mains to USB adapter cable" territory.
If I'm reading it right, "defer" means you actually schedule an appointment in a calendar. I much rather prefer the idea of snoozing (a fixed delay before reappearing) better. If I'm not interested in dealing with something now, then I'm also not really interested in vetting calendar space for it at that exact moment either.
I's assume that Google's follows the same strategy it always has. Optimize on technology rather than throw people at a problem.

There's no way to objectively check the validity of each claim in depth without a massive (and expensive) infrastructure of copyright specialists.

Instead, they created tools that do a reasonable job of detecting copyright infringement.

For the cases that can't be verified, an assumption can be
made that most takedown requests are done in 'good faith'. If assumptions aren't good enough the cases can be tracked for statistical relevance.

From the subset of takedown requesters, an even smaller subset will be cases where content was taken down maliciously and/or because it exists in a grey area between illegal/legal fair use.

In those cases, take the content down defensively and consider a closer assessment if the user makes enough noise.

They can't outright blacklist content creators because they're a commercial platform that draws revenue directly from those same content creators. At best, they could track and exploit the bad actors as leverage during contract negotiations.

The reality is, for as much as MPAA and BMG threw at politicians to get the DMCA passed. It is pennies on the dollar compared to the cost of the infrastructure required to enforce copyright protection.

-----

We need a logical fallacy to describe assumptions where (insert all seeing all knowing super organization)'s ability to magically affect change absent realistic constraints.

Unlike technology, people-based solutions are very expensive and really don't scale well at all.

It's like people who cry 'we need more oversight' into tracking government usage/spending when that oversignt often times can cost as much as the materials those people are responsible for tracking.

Google has probably the best capability that mankind has ever witnessed to solve problems that can be solved with current technology. Unfortunately, not all problems can be solved with technology alone.

Only one person on this comment page to mention the biggest problem LSD faces today. NBOMes.

Unfortunately they are commonly sold as LSD. Very sad and worrying.
As an aside a good example of this politically evasive precision in speaking was Clinton's famous "I did not inhale" line when confronted if he had ever used marijuana. His answer was true, he's allergic to smoke and was well known around campus for baking/eating marijuana not inhaling it.

Speaking of Clinton and document leaks, next time Hillary Clinton is asked about the classified email server scandal take note of her precise replies, it is impressive how politicians can fire out precise answers when pressured to both deflect and deny accusations and protect themselves at the same time by later claiming precision.

The Cubans did not run to Americans out of love, they saw the writing on the wall that their patron/sponsor in Venezuela was a sinking ship. This was long time coming but things will not really settle down or improve in VZ until 2019, when PDSV will be vacated out of power, but one can hope that can happen early.

The Oil bust and Venezuela creating a welfare state around $100/barrel (along with the corruption) led to this crisis. This is the cost of Leftist Populism. Some ones got to pay, and usually it is the populace. Caracas is probably most violent City in Americas, today.

People in US clamoring for leftist populism should take deep look at Venezuela.
> For example, Zuck says he runs the company via Messenger - but a chat tool without selective muting/@mentions (or equivalent) is bound to be messy at the scale at which he's working.

He does; he’s a bit of an outlier in how he can handle intense communications, but Messenger at his scale is not less manageable than e-mail — it mainly encourages extreme brevity.

The information filtering is done using groups and notification that allow everyone to target their attention; his is focused on high-level groups that distill details from other working groups.

I've had the same experience as the poster you're replying to. I had to remove any bits of the fact that I bootstrapped my own fledgling (small, successful in it's own right, yet not capable of sustaining full-time wages) startup from my resume to get interviews. I was told that my resume was "intimidating" and "sending the wrong signal" by friends who are developers whose input I trust.

But I completely agree with what you've said. I am a problem solver or a product engineer or whatever this skill set combination is being called these days. I pull from a wide range of experiences to solve problems and I'm not very happy when I have to work off of a rigorous spec.

Unfortunately, that doesn't mean much to most employers in my experience. I don't fit in to most places and most places don't know what to do with me. It's made for a rather frustrating career over the last decade but I simply don't know what else to do.
Q42: Hacking the coffee machine with Particle and MeteorJS
Only petro-states and places with little economy to speak of as far as I know.

Net debt equals net savings, so the vast majority of developed economies run deficits because somebody has to soak up the surplus they create.

But Venezuela was a petro state. See my other post for the real reason for their collapse.
> Apps with ads in them. Easy enough to churn out, but decreasing revenues and most of the high earning adverts are the scummiest. Low value and of low moral usefulness.

I assume that by apps you mean native mobile apps. Anyone know how ad-supported mobile apps stack up against web apps? On the one hand, there's no such thing as ad blockers for native apps. On the other hand, web apps run on more platforms out of the box including desktops, and desktops in general seem to be easier to monetize via ads.

> Hosting / simple websites. Again, little bit of up-front commitment. Works best if you can find a local niche of people who want a friendly face to host their websites. Usually as simple as buying a domain, setting up WordPress, and turning on automatic updates.

Does anyone here have experience with this? It's an awfully saturated market, and there's not a lot of ways to differentiate yourself without turning it into a full-time job. That said, if it is as easy as edent makes it sound, I'd love to dive in as an excuse to get some system administration experience (and try out some ideas I have in that area).

It's been "for sale" since the IPO, any public company is "for sale", so it's not like they can announce "we are for sale", it would make no sense.

I definitely agree that this law violates the First Amendment and therefore suspect if a case came to the SCOTUS they would rule against it (assuming it even needed to get that high).

But my question is this: From my understanding, the First Amendment establishes limits on what government can and cannot do, it doesn't establish what a private entity can and cannot do. In this case the law allows a private business to sue a private individual, and while the law itself is established by government, the use of that law is not.

So maybe someone with more legal expertise than myself can answer: Is it possible to bring this issue before SCOTUS if it is only used by non-government? Have they effectively found a loophole by keeping government out of the actual lawsuits? Can you sue a law itself (would you have standing)?

I'd be shocked if Dropbox is still in business in 5 years. It's kind of sad because it was the first mover and I loved the service when it was the only one, but now there are a million options that are probably just as good. Not to mention they've never made a dime on me personally or anyone I know (and as I understand it that's true for 95% of their user-base). Our company actually banned Dropbox.com because we decided we'd rather do everything on Google drive for free instead of pay Dropbox for corporate use. The whole industry also has bearish macro outlook as storage continues to get cheaper and yet people's need for it doesn't grow proportionately.

I just like Senegal and I have quite a few Senegalese friends in Paris. My Openstreetmap activity there started with cycling there with no usable maps at all in 2008... Some time after coming back I discovered OSM and began making the maps I would have liked to have - also it was a way to remain connected to Senegal. A few years later, with almost 400k changes in 750 commits, Senegal has turned into the main nexus of my mapping activity and I'm now in touch with some of the local mappers. Open JOSM and look at the changelog of just about every object in the Dakar region and you'll likely find my name in half of them !

I'll be in Dakar at the end of the month by the way, for a couple of week with four of my daughters and I intend to join some OSM meetups there.
