I installed an adblocker on my Mac after I was using mobile tethering with my computer muted, and some ad went through a huge video playlist in another window using close to 1 GB of data. It was worth around $20 at the time in local currency, and that was it for ads on the laptop.

I installed a hosts blocker on my Android phone after I found myself hitting a large number of sites which would popup ad alerts and then forcibly redirect to another site (where they'd try and get me to download and run an APK). This might be more prevalent in "poor" countries where the fill rate is bad, and so these kinds of scams end up being the only ads available and possibly aren't noticed by the networks.

You can use netsh on Windows without need to install anything external (beside capture file viewer - Microsoft's Message Analyzer - but that can be done on your workstation rather than servers)

netsh trace start capture=yes IPv4.Address=10.2.0.1

netsh trace stop

The last command will output path to .etl file containing captured packets.

1% would be quite a chunk of cash. I wonder if they could have cashed out at the $17b evaluation or if they would be sitting on paper-rich stock right now. I couldn't find how much they cashed out for, but something like $1 million in the bank might end up being worth more than $170 million on paper.

Edit: well, on second thought at the 17b evaluation they could have probably cashed out 1% of their share (0.1% of the company), made as much as when they did cash out and still be sitting on 0.9% of the company. Oops for them.

569,000 square feet... 3,000 employees. That's 190 square feet per employee. I know there's waste with hallways, bathrooms, utility closets, etc... But doesn't Google also pack their employees in like sardines?

Isn't a (small) cubicle more like 80 square feet? That'd mean more than half of the space is not-cubicle, right?

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I've worked in 64 square foot cubicles...?

And I had to share a cubicle for a short time when I think I had 80 square feet.

The biggest issue I had with org-mode was the sad state of mobile clients. They were all convoluted to set up and, once working, didn't work very well [1]. The experience was much worse that what I've become accustomed to with Todoist, Nirvana, etc. where mobile sync is pretty seamless.

Org certainly is interesting and ticks the main boxes for me: outliner/TODO system, open source, text file, etc. With a better mobile solution available, I could definitely see myself using org-mode as my primary organization system.

[1] To be fair, this was under Android. I've not rerun the experiment using iOS, but I'm seeing one MobileOrg app in the store, last updated in 2013, with the most recent comments citing issues similar to what I experienced.
I find it quite annoying that recently web hipstors apparently hijacked the term "API", and now everyone assume that by default "API" means something totally different from what it used to.
To handle the real-time event syncing we created https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-sync. It uses a central Redis DB or a MongoDB tailable collection to to synchronize service events between different application instances.
Another option is to use your websocket libraries' clustering library, for Socket.io for example there is https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-redis.

This is a very good question. We're definitely planning on adding a section about performance and scaling to the documentation very soon.
Technological advancements displace jobs at a relatively slow pace. It doesn't happen overnight. And as those jobs get replaced, the demand for the remaining people who can do those jobs goes up because not all companies can afford to automate initially.

Well, technically yes. But a) the invention of asymmetric encryption at GHCQ was kept secret, so Diffie and Hellman did not know about it; they invented it independently, it happens from time to time. And b) AFAIK, GHCQ did not develop asymmetric encryption into anything practically usable, they did come up with the basic concept, but stopped there (again: AFAIK - I am happy to be corrected if I have been misinformed there).
Please look out the nearest window that overlooks a street. Then compare with the next couple of minutes of this video (https://youtu.be/uYmbyOrM4gs?t=543). Compare the amount of human suffering. The difference is 116 years of the automation you so hate.

Unfortunately I can't show you what life was like before the industrial revolution, because we don't have images or movies from that time, suffice to say that life then "was short, brutish and hard". Child mortality was rampant, according to Adam Smith it was not unusual that a woman who had had 10 children didn't see any of them grew up to be adults.

There is no goal, but progress is moving as far away from that condition as humanely possible, as fast as possible. This is best achieved with capitalism.

Interesting angle that I hadn't considered.

That said, I don't think it's the same. Vehicles and fighters are classified in various ways (power/weight, but also experience, e.g. pro and amateur classes) because otherwise the competition becomes 'who has the best engineering team' and not 'who drives best'; or 'who has most fighting skills' and not 'who can overpower his opponent through sheer force/mass'. It's purely to keep it interesting and/or exciting.

In this case, I interpreted the argument made in the OP as 'it only becomes an achievement when the computer constrains itself to the boundaries the human has by its nature'. I don't see the point of that. An F1 car is unarguably faster than 50cc kart. If we talk about 'who can drive the fastest', it doesn't make sense to say 'it's not a 'fair' comparison'. It is, and the F1 car is faster, period.

The nature of the past match was 'who is the best Go player, no holds barred'. Call it the UFC 1 of Go. Back in 1994 in UFC 1 there were no weight classes, no restrictions on techniques - the question was 'who is the best fighter'. It's not like after that event the sumo guy said 'yeah well I can't move as fast because I'm 200kg, so we'll only know who is the best fighter after a jiu jitsu guy fights me but doesn't move faster than I do'.

I guess there is more nuance to the debate than I originally thought. I still think it doesn't make sense to impose artificial limits. We might have tournaments for humans and tournaments for machines in the future, just like we have nascar and F1. But there is no mistake who is the best player.

Nope. Elixir was created because of the gap in functionality in Erlang, specifically around documentation and tooling as well as the lack of macros and polymorphism. [0]

The fact that it looks Rubyish at times is just the creator's aesthetic preference, but it wasn't the motivator.

I apologize if someone already mentioned it, but you can capture packets from Wireshark directly as well, without the need for tcpdump or tshark. However, this is only useful if you want to capture packets on the machine you are running Wireshark, obviously.
#startups
It seems like a reasonable inference. They introduced their energy storage products, then a few months later acquired the domain without "motors" in it. But they could do a better job of distinguishing between the facts and the inference.
I've found Firefox reader mode can often give me the content when all scripts are still blocked. The blank page often still gives the reader icon :)

For those that don't trigger reader mode I'm increasingly hard nosed and just start ignoring that domain. I'll not enable JS just to read an article or see some images, only when it adds functionality. Most of the time I don't need to - most sites work remarkably well with little or no JS, so I can afford not to care about those that don't. I'm very reluctant to enable anything that's not the visited domain.

Yup, potentially. In that case what you have is a more useful car, or cloud transport service.

But endgame, where it's "robots" as we all imagine it is always a moving target. Mechanics weren't needed 200 years ago either. So far, we've needed new professions. Maybe that will end.

My point was just that automation is a fairly fuzzy way of explaining what is going in.

This is exactly the question I was asking myself this morning! I find the parallels to robotics interesting too: whenever another creepy beast lurches out of Boston Dynamics I wonder how such machines will function 50 or 100 year in the future when the world is operating under a different energy cost equation, when the fruits of millions of years of fossil fuel deposit have been spanked.

Edit: I see lots of "no fair!" comments here. I think people are failing to grasp how supremely efficient biological systems are at dealing with exactly the sort of messy/noisy/lossy reasoning required for real-world problem solving, the sort of reasoning I see linked (incorrectly IMHO) by various media to the advancement demonstrated by this hyper-specialized Go playing machine.

Edit2: (I removed that "little to show for it" bit before I saw your comment because it was leading to a digression I realised I would need to defend which seemed unwarranted in this context. Sorry about that!)

I use RequestPolicy. It gives fairly fine-grained control over which third party sites are loaded, and from which origin.

It's the best of both worlds for me. I'll see the ads I don't object to (those not served from an ad network), greatly reduced cross-site tracking, and the risk of exposure to malicious ad content is much reduced.

Occasionally you run into a poorly coded site that fails to render because facebook or twitter didn't return what it expected, but for the most part it's a good compromise between extremes of wide open and noscript.
>It is really a shame to find a great domain name that is just sitting unused

I think domains are overrated. Who cares if it's tesla.com vs teslamotors.com? Most people go through Google anyway; I don't think I've seen my parents type anything into the address bar, ever.
I disagree. While SaaS blinks in and out, requires maintenance, and most fading away over time when interest or business model dwindles, open source projects lives on even in orphaned form. Time is on open source's side.
The whole article is about why your domain should be the short, commonly spoken version of your company name, and companies that have had problems aquiring the domain of that.
This is a great post. I do think it should mention OGS (online-go.com) as an alternative to KGS. Some people may really not like installing a Java app for KGS.

DA 3: Why Dividend Growth Investing Is the Best Way to Invest on the Stock Mark
What does "API" mean to you (or originally meant) vs the hijacked term?
1: I don't judge anyone for using adblockers because there's a lot of moral grey area here.

2: "Advertising is not the only way to make money from writing/media"

-> I don't think this is a very good argument. It may be the only reasonable way for that content creator to make money.

3: "I'm becoming ever more convinced that it is even an immoral and hostile action"

-> Some of these ads are hostile, but some are attempting to make money in a very reasonable way. You're demonizing the entire group, including some who are creating value for you and me.

Edit: A little anecdote: There is a project I'd like to do that involves investing considerable time and money in creating content that will be shared with the world and would help a lot of people. I'd like to make some money back out of it for my time and costs. Free but with ads is the best way to help the most people but still make money. However, it might be difficult to make much and I would have to deal with people attacking me for trying to make money off ads. This is a factor that is actually affecting my decision as to whether or not I pursue this project (which I will decide in the next several months).
> immoral and hostile

Have these become code words for something beyond or outside of the dictionary definition? I have seen both of these words used recently in such a hyperbolic manner that defied any other explanation.
> with little to show for it.

Those fossil fuels allowed us to rapidly bootstrap ourselves through the industrial revolution, and to get to the point where renewable and carbon-neutral energy isn't just feasible, but already being used in many places.

Pay-Per-Click Marketing 101 the Basics
$25,000 is a very reasonable existence for a single person, as long as it's present buying power and after tax.

You can rent for less than $1000 and should be able to do utilities for ~$300.

That leaves about $200 a week, which is certainly not the lap of luxury, but it's plenty for food and necessities (I've done 2 people eating well enough for ~$100 a week so I really don't feel full of shit saying that).

There's no planning for the future in that, but part of the idea of a basic income is to de-risk things like that no?

This looks really interesting. I installed it easily through Brew. REPL seems to work fast.

Now if my Clojure flawored Lisp starter level knowledge could be somehow transformed into Erlang flawor...

I wrote this:

> (map (lists:seq 1 10) (lambda (a) (io:format a)))

and this happened:

#M((1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) #Fun<lfe_eval.12.88887576>)

So, I'm not quite there yet. Hopefully somebody can make a Clojure to LFE comparison.

And using Elixir based things like Phoenix springs to mind...
Big problem in this way of looking at this: energy is measured in Joules, not in Watts.

So this is not a fair comparison. Yes Lee was pretty cheap energy-wise to "run" during the game itself, but needed 150W or so constantly for 33 years to get trained to be as good as he is (brain is cheap, but obviously you have to keep the body alive too). Plus the massive support structure needed to raise him, teach him, get him interested in Go, provide opponents to train against. As you can't have a grandmaster. You need 10 grandmasters, 1000 really good players, 1000000 good players, and so on to train someone to get to this level.

AlphaGo needed 1MW, probably about the same for training. If AlphaGo got trained in about a week, I bet the energy difference would favor AlphaGo, depending on what you count you could make AlphaGo or Lee Sedol win the comparison, so really, it's a tossup.

And let's compare it to chess. Deep Blue used probably a similar amount of power in it's entire lifetime as Gary Kasparov will need for his lifetime. Maybe a factor 10 difference, but no more. However, a current chess computer uses less than a billionth the amount of power for learning & playing chess than Gary Kasparov needs to live and learn to play chess at his level.
"X with an access to all sorts of red buttons (military, financial and political) is an excellent example of a global risk"

I meant tax cuts and simplifications for the poor. Mostly the tax cuts would come as a result of the simplifications (eg if you import something with small import duties we can just do away with them, which will make them a little more money but mostly saves them time in not having to fill the paperwork and figure out which laws they fall under).

Large companies can afford the complexity but small companies typically can't. More importantly a neighborhood printshop isn't a complex business (it doesn't, for example, have overseas income on intellectual property taxes).
