If they're smart and they want you gone, they won't bother with petty stuff like that. They'll just run you through the formal process, six months of PEP then PIP then fired, speaking the ritual words and performing the ritual ceremonies necessary to generate a paper trail that will comfort the lawyers, all tied up and neat. You'll know exactly what happened but there'll be nothing you can prove.

If they're smart and they want you to stay, they still won't bother with petty stuff like that, because firing people is expensive and hiring them even more so; they'll either look the other way or find a diplomatic way to deal with it.

I've re-read your comment several times and I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're getting at in regards to what ads should be.

Advertising for decades has worked without the ability of advertisers to track their viewers or interact with them directly and dynamically, and it relied on exactly what you described in the opening sentence; showing an oddly shaped image in whatever newspaper, magazine, publication, or whatever they could stick the image on. With television, ads became minor productions in and of themselves, and while you could get some statistics as to who actually was putting eyes on your advertisement and when, there still wasn't really a need for a spy network to allow the advertisements to function.

As an outsider to the industry looking in, I'm sure there are steps I'm missing and not able to fill in myself, but I'm just not sure why it's essential to spy on people. Targeted advertising, in my anecdotal and admittedly very limited experience, is often little more than just shotgunning ads vaguely related to search results or things I purchased or looked at for whatever reason in the past. There's nothing dynamic or progressive about it beyond just spamming slightly less irrelevant information at me, though I really don't ever recall ever taking the time to actually follow through an ad link prior to adblockers. Ad-sponsored search results very often just get in the way of actual search results.

The idea of dynamic and relevant advertising seems completely foreign to me in that I can't really imagine how such a thing would actually look/work. Current advertising online seems to be very little more than a game that ad developers play to see who can trick people into clicking on their ad the most and who can collect the most data. Often times, the purpose seems to be less about the advertisement and more about the data collected via the click, or at the very least just generating the click or follow-through more than anything. It's particularly egregious in mobile spaces and apps where ads almost seem to be built around the imprecision of navigation. In Safari on iOS, I can't think of too many sites that doesn't place their banner of ads right along the bottom where you tap to summon the Safari controls, and it's even worse within apps with random pop-ups and ever-changing locations for the dismissal, which isn't much better in my mind than the pop-up warnings in browsers asking "do you really want to navigate away from this great deal?"

Advertising in the digital age, in my opinion, has just gone too far in the interest of what it can do instead of what is actually effectual advertising. The dynamic and progressive evolution of the ads seems less about actually providing and informing about a product and instead about gaming the online advertising market, and the fallout of such a battle is harming users.

> Advertising isn't supposed to be a form of behavior modification. It's supposed to be a means of informing consumers so that they can make good purchasing decisions which will drive a free market in such a way that the _objectively_best_ products get the biggest reward.

That's very idealistic, and not very realistic. That role is filled by genuinely unbiased product reviews and recommendations from trusted friends and families.

Lots of companies who know they don't make the "objectively best products" still try to manipulate people into purchasing their products.

Advertisers very rarely provide value to consumers as they are designed to favor, and generate profit for the seller.

It's a completely different matter between learning from theory and learning in practice. What's sorely missing from theoretical teaching is context - knowing when and how to apply this knowledge - and the actual experience of using it, which is critical to remembering what was taught.

From my experience on this planet, purely theoretical teachings tend to be forgotten in favor of things you've actually used and done.

Ask HN: Looking for Feedback on Replacing Your DVD Library Online
We have been looking into a new concept to replace your DVD Collection. We think it is crazy that in this day and age if you want to watch a DVD you have to dig out that disc, hope its not scratched and set up the DVD player.
Our concept is that you would scan your DVD's barcodes and then send the discs to us. We add a digital copy to your library on the site and then sell the dvd's and send you a cheque.

We are in the early prototype stages and looking for feedback on the concept and what people think maybe missing.

In some ways understanding computation actually undermines you.

Here's a true story, a few years ago I was a DBA on a large-ish Oracle database (~50T) supporting many users. One guy would run his report, and it would time out (in his client software, Business Objects I think). So he would run it again and it would time out. But on the 4th or 5th attempt, it would work! Why was this? I was curious enough to investigate and what was happening was he was gradually getting more and more of his working set into the cache, and eventually he had enough in-memory that his query could complete in time. Let me tell you for sure, that guy did not have any mental model of computation that led him to discover this. He just tried it and it worked. Would a guy with a classic CS education have done this?
It'd be cool to have the ability to pipe stuff over the Internet from shell in real time like you would with SSH for instance. So I could do:

and see live stream of data on B.

This feels like a move away from offering the greatest opensource project hosting site to a walled garden. I was just browsing some repository and found a non linked reference to another project which probably is also on Github but there is no way of searching for it when I'm not logged in (and knowing the search URL somebody posted earlier). Pretty big UI fail and I wonder if this was intentional and if so if they took into account the annoyed users...
I hope this will gain some more attion than the 6 comments right now, I really like Github for just browsing and exploring new projects, no need to be logged in for doing this and hopefully not just the first step to a more business driven Github.

I use sprunge [http://sprunge.us/] for the exact same purpose.

Normal usage:
$ more c14.py | sprunge

And it outputs:
http://sprunge.us/eCeM

The nice thing about sprunge is that you also have syntax highlighting: http://sprunge.us/eCeM?py

Appending a ?<lang> will syntax highlight the text according to the lang.

P.S.

To use a pipe with sprunge, put an alias in your .zshrc / .bashrc:

alias sprunge="curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us"

and then use source ./zshrc ( or .bashrc ).

Can you tell me what's the problem with multiple inheritance if your superclasses only consist of pure virtual functions?

From [1]:

"Bjarne Stroustrup: I had a lot of problems explaining that to people and never quite understood why it was hard to understand. From the first days of C++, there were classes with data and classes without data. The emphasis in the old days was building up from a root with stuff in it, but there were always abstract base classes. In the mid to late eighties, they were commonly called ABCs (Abstract Base Classes): classes that consisted only of virtual functions. In 1987, I supported pure interfaces directly in C++ by saying a class is abstract if it has a pure virtual function, which is a function that must be overridden. Since then I have consistently pointed out that one of the major ways of writing classes in C++ is without any state, that is, just an interface.

From a C++ view there's no difference between an abstract class and an interface. Sometimes we use the phrase "pure abstract class," meaning a class that exclusively has pure virtual functions (and no data). It is the most common kind of abstract class. When I tried to explain this I found I couldn't effectively get the idea across until I introduced direct language support in the form of pure virtual functions. Since people could put data in the base classes, they sort of felt obliged to do so. People built the classic brittle base classes and got the classic brittle base class problems, and I couldn't understand why people were doing it. When I tried to teach the idea with abstract base classes directly supported in C++, I had more luck, but many people still didn't get it. I think it was a major failure in education on my part. I didn't imagine the problem well. That actually matches some of the early failures of the Simula community to get crucial new ideas across. Some new ideas are hard to get across, and part of the problem is a lot of people don't want to learn something genuinly new. They think they know the answer. And once we think we know the answer, it's very hard to learn something new. Abstract classes were described, with several examples, in The C++ Programming Language, Second Edition, in 1991, but unfortunately not used systematically throughout the book. "

Disadvantages When Used Without DANE

When deployed alone (i.e. without a DANE record, and using Web PKI
for certificate verification), SMTP STS offers the following
disadvantages compared to DANE:

o Infrastructure: DANE may be easier for some providers to deploy.
In particular, for providers who already support DNSSEC, SMTP STS
would additionally require they obtain a CA-signed x509
certificate for the recipient domain.

o Security: DANE offers an advantage against policy-lookup DoS
attacks; that is, while a DNSSEC-signed NX response to a DANE
lookup authoritatively indicates the lack of a DANE record, such
an option to authenticate policy non-existence does not exist when
looking up a policy over plain DNS.

Aren't all algorithms "clever" at some level? I assume you are implying non-mainstream - that always carries risks, but there are some advantages:

1. The software that verifies the certificate doesn't need to be changed - which is quite an advantage if it has already been shipped, or if you need to change the signing rules at a later date.

2. The verification logic is exactly the same as if checking a regular, single signature certificate. Nice and simple, no bugs related to whether all criteria have been met by multiple certificates.

This is exactly what you would be left with if advertising weren't legal. And in fact, the only good justification for allowing it to be legal is this idealistic view.

But yes, I know what the status quo currently is. I'm saying that it is on shaky moral footing. That it ought not be this way, because it offers no justifiable benefit to society for it to remain as such.

Interesting. It's a good thing that the United States are home to communities that seem to others to be out-of-time. Modern culture seems to be so quickly mingling all concepts that it's refreshing to see people who are mostly untouched by that and live just what they think makes them happy without the constant competition to be more "modern" all the time.

Their business seems to be less fragile towards outside influence and fashionable ideas which turn out to be nonsense half a year later. Ironically, they seem to benefit from the growing demand for niche and regional products outside their world.

Having said that, hope that Amish doesn't become the new Hipster lifestyle for the next 1-2 years now :D
Well, you could say that advertising companies are actually in the business of tempting their clients into advertising by promising them the ability to tempt the general public into buying their products.

The problem imo is that, ever since Google has paved the way, monetizing an online product has become fixed on a single, double-edged strategy: either show ads or sell your users' data to advertisers.
