1. The ad network permits the bad ad, regardless of who writes them. If the ad network didn't drop 400 domains worth of 3rd party cookies, with tracking, and give me such shite as autoplaying video, maximise on rollover and the like, I'd whitelist them. Or more likely never have blocked them in the first place.

2. They'd not be able to follow me around the net though, repeatedly showing me some car ad I accidentally clicked because it maximised on me.

3. Every print display ad I've ever run (quite a few) has been proofed by the publication prior to run. I'm not Pepsi so perhaps different rules apply?

true, and there will always be a market for good content, especially authoritative technical content (financial newsletters are a good current example - people pay for them despite all the free and ad-supported websites out there).

it's also possible that the desire to have everything be free will trigger a worse-is-better downslide where no one creates really good content because no one will pay for it because everyone is satisfied with good-enough free content, but i doubt that will happen; i just want there to be enough good-enough free content that people who can't or won't pay still have their needs met.

while we're dreaming, there are two things i'd really like to see emerge:

1. a true shared culture with a continuous gradient from pure consumer to prolific producer. something like tumblr is a good proto-example - there are people who just browse feeds, and people who reshare, and remix, and add their own writing, and write entirely new posts, and every now and then a truly beautiful post emerges and makes its way out onto the wider web

2. a thriving distributed patronage model, where people fund the creation of a work via kickstarter etc., but then the work is released freely, having made its money already

both these things are already starting to be experimented with, but they are badly in need of mindshare.

Using a PRNG to generate an OTP is called a stream cipher, and then it isn't an OTP. :)

When using an OTP, you have to use non-pseudorandom values to avoid just being a stream cipher. If you're doing that, you can skip sharing the pad and just share the initial state of the PRNG.

If you go to the trouble of sharing the pad, go to the trouble of using random data within it. :)

It has on the project I'm working on, but there's really no way you can tell after it's compiled.

Angular2 is written in it too.
Subscription pricing is also a mechanism of price discrimination: users who need it once pay less and users who need it regularly pay more, as they both should. The author is fortunate to be in a position of sustaining a business on new users alone, but most companies don't have the margins to afford to leave that much value on the table.

This is a little pedantic and doesn't change your point, but Google is not an LLC. It's a C Corporation.
I'm not sure how to do it otherwise, if not by name. Say, we do call certain web server "nginx" (but probably nobody would object if we'd say "that server by Igor Sysoev et al", it's just quite cumbersome this way), and it probably won't feel right if we'd call it, say, "fastcgi". Yet, for some reason we don't call a certain OS called "GNU" by that name, or author names or any other name at all, but say it like it's a part of other project (of which it isn't part of - here's the problem!).

I don't think it's unreasonable that FSF/GNU Project feel that it's not right. They did a large project, and it had "lost" its name, like their project doesn't exist or is irrelevant. I surely can't speak for GNU Project authors, but I believe, for authors, that may probably feel unfair if not even offensive. I'm not sure what's the "trees" (must be naming) or "forest" (?) here, when they just want their fair share of recognition for something that they did but that's not ever called by its name. Is it really immature?

And, duh, it's not like they're asking something unreasonable or unnecessarily complicated, so, personally for myself, I had decided I have no reasons to not respect this request.

Edit: added about forest/trees - not sure what you meant of those.
You're completely ignoring the fact that one of these processes is built precisely on top of the other! Our ability to do this was afforded to us by nature and evolution. I think the crowd should have been chanting "Evolution! Evolution!"

> Scraping and incognito browsing are both anti-patterns that are symptoms of a sick media industry.

No, the cause (and, well, symptoms, too) is lack of revenue, something which was set in motion long before ad networks came into play and were the devil that many publishers felt they had to sign with.

It's worth noting that in the early years, publications just threw up their content for free and went within the flow [1]. Within the industry today, it's (pointlessly) debated whether that was the right thing to do [2], as now everyone comes to expect the content to be free (nevermind the problem of other sites just copying-and-pasting entire articles).

Either way, readers weren't offering to pay up back in the heyday when news outlets had plenty of money to do indepth journalism and offer it for free. Now news outlets have neither but they continue to offer their content for free. And apparently, those years of free, good content wasn't enough to convince consumers, years later, that it'd be nice to get financial support (via subscription). And so now the mechanism that many of them resort to to capture revenue -- third party ad networks -- is odious to people like you...and I sympathize...so you should do what you would be doing if those places threw up a hard paywall that requires a subscription: don't read their content.

Instead, you go out of your way to take their content for free. Then you complain that the content is shit, and finally, you complain that publishers should be making it easier for you to take their shit. OK, sure, whatever. But at least recognize that there are business mechanisms more complicated than "stupid publishing company is using stupid ad network to get money"

>This is language-specific for Javascript.

I said that in the context of the article obviously, which is about JS.
They're tons of fun but yeah, there's a reason they are done way out in the middle of nowhere.

My favorite was when you'd get a false start, enough to get you off the launch rod and flop onto the ground right as the main motor took off. We called those land sharks.
I think it's pretty simple, any time you're admonishing someone and telling them how they should behave, rather than how they have to behave, it's basically a guilt trip. It makes people feel guilt. This guilt is supposed to motivate actions you desire from the individual.

It's fine if you have your morals, but your morals are not my morals. And it's a more effective argument to talk about yourself anyway: "I view ads because I believe it's a fair exchange for the publisher's content."

So, while I'm kind of a hypocrite for saying you shouldn't guilt trip people, what I really mean is that I've found it's better to talk about my own morals than to tell people that I think they should have them.
The cryptosystem in use by Signal and now WhatsApp does not work this way. It offers forward secrecy, where recovery of the long-term keys will not allow decryption of past intercepted encrypyed messages.
I think the video has been replaced with a shorter one, since the timestamp of the landing is now closer to 27:15.
That would be interesting. I was thinking perhaps a set of explosive bolts on the landing legs which punched into the deck once it was stable.

I was also quite pleased that they had solid video of it coming into land with a drone that was hovering off barge. That was a brilliant move on SpaceX's part.

I disagree with the sentiment in the original post, at least for the generalization given, and with the justification of the cloud sync as an ongoing service justifying the cost.

The justification of the cost is the value that the app is bringing to me (or my business). If I had some kind of lead gen software that brought me an additional N leads per month I'd loooove to pay N(.05)(margin_on_closed_deal) or something like that -- and having used similar justifications to potential customers I know that many businesspeople agree.

I could see that. I find that Haskell specifically is very hard to ease into, whereas a lot of similar languages are much easier. For me, I wasn't comfortable with my Haskell skills until I learned Idris, which is arguably a more difficult language -- ironically, I found the Idris documentation to be a lot more user friendly than Haskell's just because it comes from the official team (and I'm sure that Purescript is like this too). For anyone struggling to learn Haskell, I'd probably recommend a different purely functional language first (at least until haskellbook comes out).
Yes it seems definitely easier said than done.
It's because of HN's weird duplicate link policy. The way I understand it, When someone resubmits a link, and the second resubmission gets more traction than the original, then the comments/points of the resubmission are transferred to the original submission and the original submission's "timestamp" is set to the resubmission's timestamp. The modified timestamp is used in rank calculations (post rank decays based on age, so a newer timestamp means a lower decay penalty). The HN search site shows the true timestamp, which is why on this story you see a mismatch.

Another way to see this is by the looking at the post ID. The post before this one is 11445139 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11445139 (posted 1 day ago), the post after this one is 11445141 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11445141 (posted 1 day ago), but this post is 11445140 (posted 4 hours ago). By deduction, the original post was submitted 1 day ago sometime in-between the other two.

Basically the system gives credit to the original submission vs the resubmission. It does look like a bug, and I think it is quite confusing, IMO there should be a FAQ somewhere explaining how duplicates work.
This is a good point and I agree that the adaptability component is very effective. But don't you think that at the block to fabric scale (1 ha to 30 ha) the rigidity in vertical density is creating the inefficiencies I listed below?
It's great at IO. Period. Get a request, pipeline it, transform it, call out to a database, get some data back, fire off emails, talk to third party APIs....

All of those can be structured as processes. All of those can be independently fault tolerant. All of those can be inspected while they are running...in production. Seriously, for HA APIs or web apps it feels like a no brainer.

I just wouldn't us it for things that are CPU bound, like image processing for example. Try implementing something that is a bottleneck in your system in elixir and then throw some data at it and see how it performs.

Elixir + Phoenix is a real treat for web app devs.
The big question: What excites you?
I'm not American and I think it's great. Anytime I read stories of American engineering (like about the SR-71, or the Manhattan Project[1]) I feel a kind of pride for them. Strange feeling. But they accomplish some amazing stuff and there's no reason they shouldn't express joy for their own country.

1: Granted, that had some key foreign influence.

To everyone saying you won't need the crane operator on site and they can work from their home, latency and bandwidth are going to make that much harder. Really you have to be able send multiple HD stream of video from different remote locations. You can't just send the view the operator is looking at because the round trip time is probably going into be at least 1/2 a second. On that matter how effective is an operator with 1/2 a second of latency going to be vs the someone one the ground?

Anyone interested? The app prototype has gained some decent traction (6k+ downloads, $240 in revenue).

I think this article is a little myopic: perhaps if your global target market is 7 billion people you can rely on permanent growth.

That's one of the saddest things I've read, that displaying your own flag is looked down upon. I cannot imagine any long-term good coming from that kind of attitude.

Active guidance on anything rocket-propelled is strictly prohibited/regulated by federal law.

This is widely believed, but not true. Here's a nice example of a small model rocket with active guidance.[1] It's launched at a 45 degree angle and then corrects to vertical. After beginning descent, it pops a parachute and lands safely. Built by a 13 year old girl.

For rockets above a certain size, you have to start talking to FAA air traffic control, and they're going to insist that you operate in some unpopulated area.
But that's not about whether it has guidance technology.

I believe this is what AWS does to create all their libraries in the bazillion languages they support.
So what is consensus on client libraries like this? Personally, I'd rather just use my own calls. Aren't most RESTful APIs simple enough not to need such libraries? And if they're not, it's a design failure?

But then you have companies like Braintree that only supports its libraries?

This may not be the answer you were hoping for, but if you do not have the background already to do this sort of thing and if you are not already stubborn enough to start learning mathematics on your own, school may be for you. I assume you are not stubborn enough to start doing so because you have not done so already.

A short master's (3-4 semesters) is about enough to have all the math background + some application classes.
Hi, you don't seem to be aware of the awful crimes against humanity the CIA has committed without "serious trouble".

I don't think this is a stupid question, and the Verge came up with a very similar response to what I would think. Having a barge that can be compensating for current wind conditions could enable SpaceX to launch at more times than previous - expanding their launch windows AND launch points. Let's see what the Verge says:

The main part that they point out that I wasn't thinking of is fuel. They're saving on putting fuel into the rocket because they are now putting that fuel in the place that weight doesn't matter - in the sea. Literally. Weight doesn't matter there - they can create a larger platform (preferable) to put even more fuel into! ..pretty brilliant if you ask me.

Identity theft is non-thing, a lie made up by unscrupulous creditors to pretend it's not their fault for incorrectly authorizing a criminal then charging you for it.

Think about it: This information you're revealing to eBay is basically the same for any other online merchant. If that's enough to "steal your identity", where does the problem really lie?
On the other hand, products that don't have subscription pricing are compelled to continue to add hot new features in a never-ending race of convincing their customers that they really should pay x dollars every 1-3 years for an upgrade.

That's not to mention that they have to deal with maintaining old versions of their products, and support costs that could easily exceed the LTV of a particular customer.

As a customer, I am often hesitant to shell out the big bucks for subscription software, especially because both Microsoft and Adobe have set up a pretty clear ceiling on what I consider to be worthwhile by charging $10/month for really really compelling product offerings (O365 Home for Microsoft, Photoshop & Lightroom for Adobe). So a "small"/less compelling app has to charge a good bit less for me to be willing to pay.

But in the long run, I'd rather pay, say, $20/year for a useful piece of software in perpetuity than $100 once every five years--because that way I always have the latest version and don't have to think about whether I really want to upgrade or not. And that aligns my incentives with those of the developer and reduces their support costs.

Over time, I imagine small software developers will figure out what a reasonable price is for subscriptions, and more software of any complexity will converge on this model. I, for one, don't especially mind.
I could maybe see something like http://unirest.io or, to a lesser extent, http://swagger.io making sense.

Ah that's the obvious detail I was looking for. I guess my other question would be...is there any reason why a front-end site like WordPress has to have mailing functionality built-in? I mean I know WP is more than just a blogging platform...but...I'm trying to think of a situation in which a company has so many clients and client interactions that it's just convenient to bake email functionality into the homepage/news site...but that it's apparently not worth the effort to invest in a proper CRM? I know they're a law firm and not a tech company and CMS architecture is not their specialty, but they're not also running a site to manage the church bake sale. What kind of IT people could such a wealthy firm hire that wouldn't have enough experience to worry about this kind of thing?
Wow, mind = blown. You could perform binary search on the sewers to find a criminal. Hah, that would be ridiculous if that was possible.

> I didn't see anything that implies that companies will have to keep keys.

That is the intent and the logical consequence, obviously they can't say "backdoor". If plain text goes into your device, software or service, and is stored, than you'd be required to provide the plain text on demand. Your product isn't a sha-2 algorithm that just happens to have a massive cloud backup service behind it, your product is a secure remote backup service. The folks who think this is a good idea are going to be the same ones nailing your ass to the wall for breaking their law, they won't entertain the excuse - they'll say that your choice in implementing a non-reversible feature demonstrates predetermination, a cyber booby-trap.
