Yeah, that's exactly the food I was thinking of.

Cheeseburger + chocolate milk shake.
Quinoa with kale.

What would you say is more healthy?
The comparison is idiotic.

If a person suffers anorexia their whole diet is unhealthy and has to become healthy. Their relationship with food is also unhealthy.

The former is much more suitable meal for someone having difficulties meeting their caloric needs. If they have it couple of times a day every day, then we know the diet is unhealthy.

The latter can be a nice addition to a healthy diet.

The amount of downvotes on my first comment means that quite a lot of community here have an unhealthy relationship with food.

free-wheeling pre-IT-as-a-utility days

If IS&T didn't do that, it was because they'd stopped after, when I showed up in 1979, running a 370 mainframe and a Multics, the latter explicitly designed to run as a utility. Or while I was there, moving a lot of education to the Athena service (something that part of MIT eventually took over). Or, I think after I left in the early '90s, converting the university to run on SAP.

The article and comments are quite explicit on what happened, new top dog comes in with a new vision, his most powerful direct reports sandbag the initiative while using it as an excuse to execute a massive purge. A story we've seen many times before in all sorts of contexts.

Dude that's nothing in the legal system

I was on a jury and I could not argue to the rest of the jury using knowledge I was literally trained as a Psych major about... because it was not presented as evidence in the trial. It literally brought me to tears

The belief that the current justice system is even close to being fair is a fallacy. Standards for evidence in law and science are almost completely different. Eyewitness testimony, for example, should basically be thrown out: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-the-eyes-have-i...

Science needs to take law out back and give it a good whuppin'

They keep changing the definition of "we" in this.

Why should any of us put up with being advertised to when we have no interest in giving our attention to advertisers?

But then admit that some people may indeed like and appreciate ads. Please don't speak for the universal "we" - some of us actually do enjoy (some, but not all) and appreciate (some, but not all) ads.
Personally, I'm fine with that. I'm also free to disable javascript for sites of that sort, though.
It's notable that there are actually no enforced prerequisites for 229, besides basically being OK at math. Which meant that I knew an education major who sat down, tried to take it and sort of crashed and burned in the third week.
I don't want to pay $0.06 for anything because what could possibly be simultaneously interesting and worth so little?

On the other hand, I gladly pay $5 through the simple checkout thing on LouisCK.com because I trust and respect him and want to support his business.

This is kind of why I'm so lukewarm about the idea of micro payments. It seems to assume a world where everybody gives tiny tips to little blobs of semi-worthless generic content that they probably consume on the bathroom.

I've paid for downloads of independent ebooks too and would happily do it again. If payments are really tedious then that's a general problem and, like, Stripe could just make a browser extension to make it utterly trivial. VISA works pretty well after all, no?

For me, the overwhelming problem seems to be that I'm only genuinely interested in a small subset of high quality things (books, videos, articles) by people I have real respect for.

With most news articles, I'd pay for the privilege of never even hearing about them. But if someone made a plain text newsletter with coherent, intelligent news commentary, I wouldn't think twice about filling out a Stripe pop up for that. I've paid for dumber things in my life.

Hmm Looks like if you want to benefit from this level 3 DDos protection, you'll need to hand $200 / month over to Cloudflare.

Sounds fishy to me.
You could make the same argument about all sorts of services. For example, I think Grindr also doesn't care about their community. I have some ideas how to fix it - mainly ensuring users aren't hooking up with more than one person, and that neighbors of a Grindr user have a way to veto a house guest.

To me that sounds kind of insane. I guess I just think that people should be allowed to do whatever they like in the privacy of their own bedroom, provided it doesn't harm others against their will.
Not really. When you get to fundamentals, it's either:

- direct payment (subscriptions, micropayments, donations, anything that involves you directly transferring funds)

- indirect (ads or another 3rd party subsidizing like the BBC by the UK government, which is just funded through taxes though so it might just be direct anyway)

That is the dichotomy and there's nothing false about it.

> Also, most ads as we know are not fast nor passive.

It seems you're referring to implementation problem I mentioned, nothing wrong with the concept of advertising itself. By fast and passive, I'm talking about the lack of decisioning needed to determine the actual monetary value of something. Figuring out whether you want to purchase every single page view will quickly cause mental friction far beyond the attention that ads take.

> Imho content blocking is just a harsh realization your content not worth as much you thought until you could force everyone to pay for it through ads

I dont understand how content blocking changes the value of the content. The fact that you are consuming it means that you attribute value to it. Nobody is being forced though so if you don't find it valuable or you think the ads demand too much attention in exchange then you are free to stop reading that content.
If the authors are opposing advertising, why are they advertising their opinions here? These naive opinions are more intrusive to me than many targeted advertisements. To be clear, i'm not opposed to ad blockers. I'm also not opposed to some advertising. I am averse to hypocrisy.
Being in the content game, it's because it's totally not worth littering pages for the 5 cents a month it'd make.

I'm hyperbolizing, but even if it were $100/month, it wouldn't be worth the space. What this space needs is someone with deep pockets to subsidize the publisher growth until the critical mass of users is reached.
If I think really hard, I can find one exception to every rule.
Too bad this was written as a Cloudflare advert, instead of emphasizing the changes that ISPs need to make (ingress source address verification) to make these attacks much harder.

The belief that people who don't share your opinions must be under control is a gross dehumanization, and not a terribly helpful way to begin a contribution.
I find them amusing because you get a hardcore of geeks thinking how they view the world (and advertising) as being the Right Way™ and that the general public secretly shares their opinions, even thought they don't.

It's on the same level of idiocy as thinking all the "brightest minds" are in tech or working in Silicon Valley, "print is dead", or that social media doesn't matter.
How do you keep your projects and networks secure?
Hackers either know more than me, or have more time than me. This will always be the case, so I'm curious about what tools or resources people use to test their stuff, either automatically or manually.

Internet connection speeds didn't improve 15x overnight. That's part of why this is newsworthy.
And probably most of those are dead from their illness, complications here of, or some other illness. You can't tell me that there are even trace amounts of the drugs used in the body 1 month after general anesthesia, much less 12.

The Handpicked JQuery Plugins CDN
I have only glanced at this, but it seems that it is about optins for discounts at retailers. Not quite what we are discussing here, is it?

Also, I can make a study and get whatever results I wish. Talk about fallacies.

My challenge stands. Go ahead, start a search engine and charge people to use it.
If internet connection speeds continue improve, it is fairly obvious DDOS traffic will increase. Claiming that it is bigger than ever when Internet connection speeds are higher than ever is like claiming that gravity from the Sun is stronger when you are closer to the Sun.
The hunt for an immutable, type safe data record in JavaScript
From https://wiki.haskell.org/Monad/ST

> The ST monad lets you use update-in-place, but is escapable (unlike IO). ST actions have the form:

ST s α

> Meaning that they return a value of type α, and execute in "thread" s. All reference types are tagged with the thread, so that actions can only affect references in their own "thread".

> Now, the type of the function used to escape ST is:

runST :: forall α. (forall s. ST s α) -> α

> The action you pass must be universal in s, so inside your action you don't know what thread, thus you cannot access any other threads, thus runST
is pure. This is very useful, since it allows you to implement externally pure things like in-place quicksort, and present them as pure functions ∀ e. Ord e ⇒ Array e → Array e; without using any unsafe functions.
That has absolutely nothing to do with this study.

So Google, Facebook, and Reddit might not exist, so what? Other services and models will take their place. It reminds me of this Jack Black clip on piracy[1] where he essentially claims if artists can't make loads of cash, there will be no more art.

This argument is simply a scare tactic employed by monopolies of every kind. "Too Big to Fail" banks say the economy won't exist without them. The MPAA claims art won't exist without them. Advertisers say internet content won't exist without them.

Egress address verification? Are you referring to RPF, or http://www.bcp38.info/index.php/Main_Page ?

uRPF is a challenge. In some cases, the consequence is flows must route symmetrically through a given network. That's not always the most efficient, flexible, or cost-effective way to go, particularly if you're a large provider sloshing massive amounts of traffic through your network.
Are there any enforced requirements at Stanford? I don't think I ever had any formal review of the classes I signed up for making sure I actually met the requirements -- there must've been at least a handful of classes I had signed up for that I didn't have the official prereqs for.
I'm surprised there isn't currently a 'personal air support drone', that can fit into a troop's backpack. Which is little more than a flying grenade (with a video stream that can go round corners).

I'm not sure what part you don't agree with...

If you don't feel the ads are worth the content in exchange, then you are free to stop consuming that content. Which is exactly what you're doing.

Again, there's no "bad" quality content. Bad to you might be what someone else is interested in. As for everything else, it's just an implementation problem with the market being flooded with shady advertisers and ad networks that operate without oversight. TV/radio/print all have much stricter standards which is sorely missing online.

Paying for content is a perfectly acceptable system, it's just not as scalable or equal to all users as ads are. Payments are a valid option, but it's far better to be a choice rather than the only option compared to advertising.
Yes, there are definitely some parallels. My personal approach to this is to point blank refuse to cave in to any kind of pressure whatsoever. Stuff happens on my time-table and with what I feel is achievable or not at all, no matter whether it is as a hired hand or as the CEO of a company under pressure from shareholders.

Of course that's relatively easy for me to say, I'm a pretty hard person to push forward in a way that doesn't sit right with me but I think that in a management role you can't afford to be timid about this. It goes with the territory that you exhibit some degree of independence, otherwise you are just an extension of the board or the shareholders to take the blame if things go wrong.

My grandmother was a smoker, and the story goes: she sat my mom and aunt down when they were in 8th/9th grade respectively, in the living room, and made them light up and smoke a cigarette each. To the end.

It was a sickening, mildy traumatic experience and as a result neither of them ever smoked again.

I'm unsure whether introducing other vices this way would have similar outcomes, but there's a lot to be said for simply removing the allure of secrecy and taboo.
Linguistic Cracking of Passphrases Using Markov Chains [pdf]
Google is very unique. They get half of the ad market because they power search for so many people.

Advertising is about matching up your intent with what the advertiser is selling, and there's no clearer signal of this than what you type into a search bar because you're letting Google know exactly what you're looking for at that moment.

While Google does have a big ad network for banners and text ads across the web, their search ads are very well targeted by your search queries in addition to all the profile information they have about you. This gives them an amazing ad platform that works very well for pretty much all of their clients.

The only other company that comes close today is Facebook which works by mining all the data that is shared and estimating intent through your likes, updates and interactions.

Most people think I have a crazy commute; perhaps I do. It may be worth it. I commute from the San Bernardino Mountains to Orange County. I wake up at 4:30am, eat a solid breakfast, leave the house at 5:30am, drive for 35 minutes to the train station, ride the train for 45 minutes, jump off, jog three blocks to the gym, work out for about 50 minutes, jog back to the train, get back on for 10 minutes, then walk for about 5 minutes to the office. So an hour and half ignoring the gym stop. I leave work around 4:30pm or 5:00pm, and get home about 6:30pm or 7:00pm (so about 2 hours to get home) and eat dinner with the family. I try to be in bed by 9:30pm.

What are the pros? I can work, read, or email on the train. I listen to audiobooks on the drive. I commute with co-workers and can either shoot the shit or have productive talks. I get paid 150% of what I would work more local. Where I live, I have an amazing view, wildlife from birds to bears, seasons, can have any pets I want (I recently started raising chickens that live in my yard during the day), literally zero crime, very decent schools, family in the area, ...

There are cons. I only get about one to one and a half hours at the most with my kids in the evening. I have zero time to do anything else during the week. I recently started experiencing one of the issues the articled called out: terrible sleep. Aside from a handful of nights, I've not gotten solid sleep in the last four months. That could be the commute, or diet, or anything else.

Could I move closer to work? Corona would not cut it (I could save maybe about 30 minutes but that marginal benefit does not balance out), so I would have to move to something in Orange County. The prices are crazy. I don't know how people live there. Rent is FOUR TIMES my mortgage. I don't make enough to have a mortgage out there as I would have zero disposable income and zero savings (if I qualified for a mortgage).

I've been doing this for five years now. If I could have a decent back yard, a mortgage that came in at 1/4 (or so) my income, and near a decent school, I would consider uprooting my family. I don't think that option exists.
SSL Certificates. Buy Cheap SSL Certs from $4.99/yr
I read it as a judge going onion. The fact that he teaches them means that they do have need for council. The fact that it is inefficient is "look at the stupid shit I have to do, to be able to do my job"

I may be wrong of course. But after all if the system wanted to protect said 3 years old - they would not have gone to hearing anyway.

Btw - can't the kids get protection under cruel and unusual punishment?
This is a great example.

It doesn't take a lot of dimensions, though. I've seen many system workloads where the average latency was not the latency of any of the requests.
The US already has a countless number of welfare programs. When I was growing up, we had lots of neighbors that continued to have children (and couldn't afford them) only because with each new child, they received a boost in welfare.

You are wrong about Socialism, however. Many people in this country DO want Socialism. They feel like somehow the system is 'rigged against them' (which is pretty much the exact same thing Che, Mao, and the Viet cong proclaimed to their followers).

In reality, it's all used as ammo to get politicians into power. People like Bernie Sanders aren't in it for the money, they are in it for the power..which is just as dangerous.

We have the highest standard of living in history and anyone with an idea has at least a chance at making a success.

Socialism (or Democratic Socialism) removes all of these chances and will pretty much make your future decisions for you: You will either work for the government or a large corporation mostly owned by the government due to the regulations and astronomical taxes.

It's not good for the average person and will only create an environment that resists advances and lowers everyone's standard of living.
To some of us the free market is integrity and the government and regulations are unethical beasts meant to be slain with technology. I see AirBnB and Uber as innovators in that space.

I think it's more a cultural shift away from libertarianism amongst a new generation of techies as the cause of the disconnect.

>> During that period, the U.S. had a large influx of low-skilled immigrants, who are bound to rely on public schools more and parents less.

I've read the opposite, that immigrant families actually spend more time focusing on education outside of school.

>> There also was a large increase in single parenthood, which probably means those kids get less education at home as well.

This too seems odd. It sounds logical that a single parent might have less time to educate kids while at home, but there are so many factors. Not all single parents work, at least not all full time. And having two parents doesn't mean that they aren't both working, or that they spend any more time with educating kids than a single parent. It is just too simple to assume that single parent = less education at home.
How is this trolling? Not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll. Their intent doesn't seem to be to anger their reader, but to change their opinion. It is political propaganda.

Calling it trolling instead of a nation state trying to influence you belittles the phenomenon.
Exactly. I love commuting by bike. It's free exercise time that I would not otherwise find.

When I've had a bad day, when I cycle home I can feel myself leaving it all behind. When I get home all the trivialities of work are gone.

Taking the metro home is fine also but not as liberating.
> Again, there's no "bad" quality content.

But that’s wrong.

There is content that has purely no content, and which is engineered to make people click, despite providing no benefit.

Think about all the Buzzfeed upvoted etc sites, providing next to no benefit at all.

Don't trust it, try it. If it works for you, it works. If not, try somewhere else. I've tried ayurveda, which even doesn't use needles, just some weird hippie waving with hands above me, not even touching me, and nothing else has give me so much energy back in a period when my energy was really low. I've tried acupuncture then as well, and various other alternative techniques. Most of them were very relaxing, like a day in a spa, and a day later the effect was gone.

I've tried to analyse what the therapist did, but couldn't explain it. The only - off the chart - explanation is that everything is energy, and that we have energy outside our body boundaries that can influence our well being. I'm pretty down to earth. I've met enough people who worship these alternative methods, and I don't. But if it works, it works, and I will use it.

So maybe this is not promoting acupuncture, but I'm just saying that these alternative methods can do stuff to me - but maybe not to you - and modern medicine cannot explain it. Acupuncture may work like this in another situation and for other persons.

Then there is another big thing regarding acupuncture, and that is holism, which makes the acupuncturist look at the whole picture, all your problems, qualities, strenghts and weaknesses.
