Download button ads appear on websites providing useful utilities and in particular Minecraft content and add-ons. I'm having to educate my kids on what is and isn't a real download button. Its a pain in the arse.

I would say it hasn't come from the MPAA or RIAA. These deceptive download buttons appear on a myriad of sites which are not related to streaming/torrenting.

Creative people over-produce ideas because that's what being creative means.

The problem isn't having too many ideas - it's not finishing any of them, ever. At some point you have to spend enough time on at least one project to get it out into the world.

That always means work that can be boring and feel like a chore, even if the project is the most exciting thing to happen since the invention of fire.

The difference between professionals and amateurs is that professionals have a balanced tolerance for that part of the process, and understand that you have to do at least some of the boring stuff to finish.

Amateur dabblers have none at all. When they get bored they move on, so they never finish anything. (In extreme cases they never truly start.)

Being Commonwealth citizen he can't be extradited from UK (to US). He would have been if he was UK one, though.

The new Remember the Milk is here
A parabolic reflector -- all (specular) reflective, no "diffuse" or "transmissive" -- will get all the light from a point source going in the same direction. If you really want all the light doing that, you need an infinitely wide parabolic reflector so you'll get an infinitely wide beam. But if you're happy for, say, 99% of the light to end up in the beam, you can make a finite portion of a parabola that does that. Shrink it in towards the source and (aside from discretization issues) you will get as narrow a beam as you like with 99% of the light in it.

A real physical light source can never have zero size as the source here (aside from discretization issues) does. As a result, you can't get an arbitrarily narrow beam from it. There's a quantity called "etendue" that measures a sort of combination of spatial and angular spread-out-ness, and no combination of optical elements can decrease it except by absorbing some of the light.

Welcome to HackerNews, where people actually believe that Sweden would extradite Assange to the USA where he would be executed.

It's so braindead I can't even begin to respond.
Great Britain as an entity still exists, and is different than the United Kingdom.
A deceptive button does not equal phishing. It just might (and most often does) open a non-malicious popup with some ad. (non-malicious in a sense it won't install ransomware to your PC)

And of course Google can easily integrate it's own ad blocker in Chrome if it chooses so.
As I write this, the ranking of the comments here is... strange. Those who see this as being yet another way of Google using their power to manipulate what people see on the Internet are being heavily downvoted, while those agreeing with the practice are not? That doesn't feel like HN to me.

I'm in the former group. This mollycoddling is just going to lead to more users who can't decide for themselves whether something is suspicious or not and are thus easier to deceive, which might be exactly what Google wants, but I certainly do not think it is good for the Web as a whole (or even society in general.) Being able to make these sorts of decisions of trust is an important part of growing up in general, and I'd even say "finding the right download button" could be considered a sort of right of passage to being an effective user of the Web, and not just a consumer.
I'm not all that fond of Assange for other reasons however I disagree that he is hiding. Everyone knows where he is and he is only there to protect himself. He has never disagreed to being questioned at the embassy. I believe he is correct in saying the sexual assault allegation is a dirty tactic to get him for his WikiLeaks activities.
You really have to wonder how necessary some of these codes are.

Houses already last 60 or 70 years, which is plenty, by the time they're at a point where they need rebuilding they're hopelessly outdated.

I was helping my father with building a house over Christmas, some of the regulations are ridiculous, we had to build a massive retaining wall with 200 mm posts going 1.5 m down, just because the earth it was retaining could theoretically have a car drive down it at some point.

You have to seal the concrete ledge that bricks sit on with bitumen. It used to be that you had to seal it 50% of the width, but they've just changed it so that it has to be the full width of the ledge. How much difference does it really make?

You can no longer use nails for fastening down corrugated iron roofs, you have to use special screws. People have been nailing corrugated iron roofs down for literally hundreds of years without issue.

It's not a binary thing. The US will put a certain value on getting Assange and that will determine the extent to which they'd be willing to expend resources (including diplomatic capital) on doing so.

I think the value of catching Assange probably dropped a lot post-Snowden though. He's probably more famous, and more importantly he proves that Assange isn't a one-off.
The problem is that this will never be entirely possible. So if your first and only option fails, you're screwed.
It’s an approach that has many casualties, though.
This is pretty stark contrast to James Altucher's "idea machine" concept. That's where you push yourself to come up with 10 ideas daily in order to build your "idea muscle" concept. Some days he'd come up with 10 ideas for one specific person or business.

It seems a bit odd, but the guy did make millions repeatedly (after squandering 100% of his wealth, repeatedly).
The previous "CIA scandal" is still very well remembered here, and is just another reason that it won't be repeated. The political fallout would be massive.

Google doesn't control all advertisers. Presumably this applies to sites with non-Google ads too.

Also, if these ads are rejected immediately (or nearly so) by Google, it will provide that much more feedback that malicious advertisers can use to "improve" their ads that much more quickly.

I see this as an opportunity for existing land owners to replace a house.

Every summer, somewhere in Australia, we have whole rural communities razed by bushfire. Rebuilding is costly and time consuming and there's a threat that fire may return within decades.

Constructing something that is quick and cheap and with low insurance premiums in case of natural disaster may benefit communities where the expected lifespan of a dwelling may only be 40 years.

Source for this claim?
Under the Diplomatic and Consular Premises Act 1987

Note that Part 1(1)(4) states[0]:

"The Secretary of State shall only give or withdraw consent or withdraw acceptance if he is satisfied that to do so is permissible under international law."

So it's not like they can do this willy-nilly. Under that act, there has to be a reason permissible under international law to revoke the consulate land, and it's a complete revocation of the land rights, requiring a new application by the foreign state to re-establish the consulate.

How to get benefits from email marketing?
Email marketing is best but how to do it for healthcare.
Surely the companies that advertise via Google to try and deceive you to into clicking their download button or whatever fit the bill? And surely Google, by actively enabling them, is also part of the process. As stated elsewhere on this thread, if they can detect deceptive sites, they can detect deceptive adverts.
One of the biggest complaints I have for websites that host software projects is a tendency to assume you know what the project is about. A couple of clicks to look at the main page, documentation, and getting started, and there is not a single paragraph that tells me what mesos is for. So my eyes glaze over and I move on.

Actually majority of quality headphones appear to have awful designs with curled cables and thick bands that makes people look at you.

It really depends on the context. Is a B2B or B2C business? What are you trying to do?

Email marketing is a great way to keep an audience engaged with your brand on an on-going basis. It's almost like having a 1 to 1 conversation with the other party.

You did respond.

What is braindead about it? Sweden and other EU countries are extremely hesitant when it comes to extradition based on "political crimes", therefore the US prosecutors already changed the inducement to computer fraud etc.

I live in a EU country where our government looks the other way when our citizens are being illegally detained by the CIA. There is at least one case where one of our citizens was tortured for years w/o court date.

When the US found out that he was not a terrorist, they asked our foreign minister what should happen to him. He told them to keep him, so he was tortured for a couple more years.

The whole world looked the other way when the US forced down a diplomatic plane to search for Snowden.

Chelsea Manning was sentenced to a life in prison under circumstances that can't be called due process.

What is so outlandish about thinking that Assange would be extradited?
I agree. I don't think it's to do with the embassy though. I think it's that they're forcing him to remain in conditions detrimental to his health. In a typical situation like this if the person they were trying to arrest was in danger the police could storm the building.
You can scare quote "crime" all you want, but there is a procedure to establish the accusation would be a crime in the UK, which is required for the EAW. Assange took it all the way to the Supreme Court. He lost every time. I think they know better than you.
Monetising for you, or for them?

Patreon's rapidly becoming the dominant monetisation method for webcomics (right behind ads, which you've said you don't want), so for them, I'd recommend integrating Patreon really well, and doing a bunch of research into how to optimise for Patreon conversions.

For you - probably just charging for hosting would at least be worth considering. I'm a webcomic author myself, and if you developed a really high-quality platform I'd be more than willing to pay for it.
You can very clearly see two kinds of people posting on this thread: those who have actually dealt with failures of complex distributed systems, and those who think it's easy.

Yes, this particular submission is tricky. The title does try to stand
out by using the apple-specific unicode character (which won't render on
all systems). But the title on HN is also the original title of the
article. To make matters even more sticky, the HN submitter seems to be
the same person who wrote the original article and title.

This story was submitted by a fairly new HN account, and the url is to a
fairly new site/domain. If you or I (with old accounts) flagged this
story, the story would unfairly get marked [dead]. It seemed more fair
to point the submitter towards the guidelines, and hope for the best.

An "acceptable unicode characters" guideline would be lengthy, so it
would be ignored. Also, providing an "allowed" list also provides the
inverse, a "forbidden" list, which might be detrimental to some of the
anti-abuse code filtering out the more egregious sins of unicode (like reversing all text in a discussion to read right-to-left).
I thought this comment in the other thread was insightful: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11033115

Why did he go to the UN? Probably because they're not a court and have no actual power here.
I agree. This is a sub-page talking about a particular release though, so it's not a landing page or "front page".

Clicking the logo works and gets you to the project's actual front page (http://mesos.apache.org/), which has a decent description:

Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual), enabling fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems to easily be built and run effectively.

That's still pretty abstract of course, but at least it's attempting to answer "what is Mesos?" first thing on the page.
It depends on the country. The broad concept that consent is required is something that most countries agree upon, but the fine details of what exactly constitutes consent vary.

In Canada, for example, it is illegal to kiss your sleeping wife, because (a) a kiss is a sexual act, (b) there is no de minimis exception to sexual assault, and (c) even if your wife explicitly consented in advance to being kissed while asleep, that consent ended when she fell asleep (in spite of that being the precise circumstance to which she wished to consent). (R v JA)

As another example, a man who lies about using birth control is committing a sexual assault, while a woman who lies about using birth control is not; the supreme court took the view that the possibility of becoming a mother is harmful, while the possibility of becoming a father is not. (R. v. Hutchinson)

As far as I'm aware, no other legal jurisdiction has followed Canada's example in either of these contexts.

For the average employee, the main benefits of working for a tech giant are what management theorists call 'hygiene' factors: Pay, benefits, prestige. What makes a job good or bad, though, is intrinsic to the work itself, and the people around you- especially your manager. It sounds like you need to find a job doing work you like, with people you like. You can do that.

Getting work you like generally means something that is challenging, but not overwhelming, in a place where it's safe to make mistakes. Make sure you go in knowing what you'll be working on. This is a lot easier in a small co.

Consider the utility of the product you're making: Is it a net plus for the world? But be realistic. It's the nature of capitalism that most are in it only for the money. If they claim to be about changing the world, you can ask for examples where they went above and beyond for their employees, community, or customers.

On finding a company with good people, do your homework, starting with glassdoor. Avoid any company where more than a few people criticize the CEO or work-life.

For the rest of it, the hygiene factor that matters most is probably commute time. Get a gig where you have some balance in your life, or at least aren't wasting three hours a day going back and forth.

Finally, ask yourself if your expectations are realistic. 19 is pretty young to be disillusioned.

> This is actually made use of in tokamak designs, which are the most straightforward magnetic confinement systems.

Wrong! The most straightforward magnetic confinement systems are :

- Simple toroid design -> Have some flaws that make useless and Stellerator is a evolution of the idea, fixing it with twisted magnetic fields.

- Magnetic mirrors -> Two simple coils separated, so the combination of the shape and the more dense magnetic field on the center of the coils, works like a mirror for charged particles.

Also, at nearly the same time (around 1955) that the Russinas was begin to experiment with the Tokamak design, the British was experimenting wit the "ZETA", where the contaiment magnetic field comes ONLY from a current on the plasma.
