Because some people don't use adblockers as a binary setting.
You can choose which ads to block, for example blocking full page ads while allowing banner ads to let be.
Blocking users outright is also counter productive you piss them off instead of giving them a reason to want to support you.

Not to mention is that loss of users impacts another important revenue source for many sites other than just ad networks and that is sponsored content, referrals and syndication.
If I'm running a full out adblock and can't access your content I can't read sponsored content, and I can't share your content with others that might not be running adblock, or do and will be more inclined to disable it, or to even pay for that content through other means.

Boycotting rarely works, and boycotting your customers is pretty much the dumbest move any business can make.
It looks very much like wishful thinking on the part of the author.
Only way to tell is to do actual science. :)

My own response to sites adblocking adblockers has just been to stop visiting those sites.
if a person doesnt see an ad, but has reach on facebook and shares the story, it can lead to much more ad revenue than lost on letting that one person read the story with their ad blocker enabled.

it's the same reason twitter started turning off ads for influential people.
How deterministic is the build process for an entire distro like this? And wouldn't updating just a single letter in a README just before release thwart the efforts of an external attacker?
Insightful, but you are so far removed from reality that you don't even realize most of these teens and early 20 somethings can't type at all because the cheap mobile computers are too convenient.
The current global trend is for the rich to get much richer and the poor to get slightly richer. This is a simple factual metric. It is unprecedented in history and continues despite the narrative of liberalism that the poor are getting poorer.
Michael Mann is the ONLY director that could pull this off. Add in the twist in the end that Le Roux turned state's evidence and you've got a decent film.
I'm not sure that's correct. Wikipedia contains detailed articles on many very obscure subjects. Searching for such topics on YouTube usually gives disappointing results.

Wikipedia is missing some material though. A better choice might be the google book project or libgen, which contains a ton of obscure books and scientific papers. But compressing it all to 20 GB would be difficult or impossible. Much easier than compressing Youtube though.
Nope, you've seen it all.

There's a link in the coming soon to a talk schedule by some guy. If like me you're not particularly into Scala, just curious about it, you just wasted a click.

You're joking right? It's a nightmare and far from perfect. Reading text is an exercise in self-loathing.

https://foia.navy.mil/foia/webbas02.nsf/(vwwebpage)/home.htm...

In which I can see:

* Text over a lined background. How is that helpful? It's a constant Moiré pattern while you're reading

* Awful leading/line heights.

* Unoptimal character count per line. Best practices is 50-70 depending on font size.

* Tiny type! I have 20/20 vision and there is 11px type I'm trying to read on a 15" laptop.

* Spurious text areas on the right. There's poor organization of text.

* The welcome text is small and lost above the image.

I could go on about the design, but that always subjective.

I meant compressed. Text compresses really well.
Usually stuff without lyrics, or lyrics I can't really understand, so the songs remain in the background. Anything to drawn out the open office setting when I need to concentrate, and also to pump me up. Seems like repetitiveness can help reduce distraction. Most likely some classical, and then some aggressive rock/punk/metal.
I think you're partially right about the reasons (the other half of the equation simply being the momentum of Python 2 efforts), but I think your last clause ("it's just useless") is incorrect.

I can tell you for 100% certain that, if a project of mine could run on a version of "Python" that was even twice as fast, I would switch immediately, because 6 application servers could become 3. If the gains are even greater, that's tremendous.

It's not just scientific computing that benefits, and in fact, a lot of the scientific / numerical analysis done in Python is really done in C / C ++ anyway (think Numpy, et al which delegate to compiled code for much of their expensive operations).
I totally agree, but I'm also curious how expensive in terms of resources distributing paper and metal currency is?

Presumably mining zinc, copper, aluminum, etc must have pretty big costs to the environment? Paper is mostly paper but isn't it also some special silk? At least here in the US.

Those seem slightly more renewable for paper. But yea, creating an extra power plants worth of fumes is pretty shitty over time.

I believe there's one currency which at the very least does some sorts of scientific calculations with the processing power? Maybe we should at least encourage those types of coins.
> After they get momentum by attracting people with their speed improvements, it will be a lot easier to attract talent and money to tackle Python 3

Well, this is a catch-22, because folks like me and my team won't touch it unless it's Python 3. We're not a Python shop, but have flirted with Python before. It wouldn't make sense for us to write new code in Python 2.
Instead we'll pay to keep them imprisoned for 40-50 years for stealing one car. We should spend that money for incarceration because the cost of one car is too great. You think that is a wise choice?
This reminds me of a Steve Jobs quote "it doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do." Any company that doesn't have this as part of its culture will feel very depressing to creative people.
Which of course still leaves OS X, *bsd, Solaris AFAIK. But it should cut down on the internal Linux incompatibilities a bit. I'm not a fan of systemd, but having one broken standard is much better than having four broken standards :-)

I don't mind the back button behavior personally. This is intended mainly as a reference that you keep in your bookmarks, so you wouldn't have a previous page to go to in most cases. I can see how being able to move back/forward in history between 2 items would be useful.
Believe it or not, people have thought about these things. Mining wasn't chosen because the developers love destroying the environment, but because it's the only way to bootstrap the system and keep it going.

It's a system to distribute scarce tokens as fairly as possible. At the beginning, you could just do it on your own computer device. Now the space is much more specialized, the barriers to entry is much higher, but anyone can still participate.

> issue more value to those already holding more value

Again, how should the initial units be distributed fairly? Besides, this system is not attractive to latecomers and will end even more centralized that the current system.

> Issue more value to those holding less value.

So I just create free new identities out to get the scarce tokens? Then the tokens are not that scarce, are they?

> Issue more value in the form of credit transactions within the community.

Not sure what you even mean here.

> Imagine if you will that only 1 bitcoin was ever issued.

A Bitcoin already is divisible into 100 million Satoshis. Mining is a solution to the question who gets the tokens.
With the site being not accessible for some part of the readers (maybe high-value, high social media impact individuals), the sites could be losing revenue because less links are created (which again would attract a lot of non-adblocker visitors).
>The reason Python 3 is on the back burner is that there simply isn't a large enough audience right now.

Funnily enough the reason I haven't adopted using PyPy is down to their lack of Python3 support. I think you're underestimating the amount of people using Python3.
Works great until the tide changes and you find yourself suddenly on the other side. That's exactly what is happening and some people are really upset. Screw them, this change is long overdue.

Perhaps problem finder should be solution seeker? Not everything requiring this level of insight/autonomy is a problem (in the sense of a negative), often a new opportunity for an entity or an individual does need a solution, however.

Apache 2.2 is not impacted as it does not support HTTP/2, only SPDY via an optional module (which will stop working).

Even in cases where a HTTP/2 or SPDY connection will no longer be established for Chrome users, the browser will fall back to HTTP 1.1. Unless you're using specific HTTP/2 features, the main impact will be decreased performance.
Geofencing has a downside, too. While you might think it enhances aviation safety, it may not do so at all. Planes spend so little time within flying/control range of commonplace drones that, when you read about a "possible drone strike" always bet against it.

Instead it will enable mission creep as more places get banned because embarrassing things, like protesters getting beaten, happen there.

Search for "lifepo4 14500" It does need a specific charger. I bought my charger from batteryspace.com. I found the following linked from their site.

Charging Non-cobalt-blended Li-ion

While the traditional lithium-ion has a nominal cell voltage of 3.60V, Li-phosphate (LiFePO) makes an exception with a nominal cell voltage of 3.20V and charging to 3.65V. Relatively new is the Li-titanate (LTO) with a nominal cell voltage of 2.40V and charging to 2.85V. (See BU-205: Types of Lithium-ion.)

Chargers for these non-cobalt-based Li-ions are not compatible with regular 3.60-volt Li-ion. Provision must be made to identify the systems and provide the correct voltage charging. A 3.60-volt lithium battery in a charger designed for Li-phosphate would not receive sufficient charge; a Li-phosphate in a regular charger would cause overcharge.
I agree with you.

But it's a systemic problem, so grandiose denunciations of one segment of the system (in lvs's case, Silicon Valley) take us further from understanding it in a bunch of ways. The way that concerns me is that it interrupts the dynamic of thoughtful discussion and replaces it with yelling and chest-beating. No matter how sophisticated the rhetoric, that is what it is at bottom.

In this case it's also ignorant, since the more intelligent people in SV are aware of and worried about these issues.

Yup. Other bosses just call this "work life balance" and are praised that they pay attention to it.

The entire presentation is essentially a list of "how I think we can get good developers and underpaid them". I don't really care if he invented gaming itself, fuck this guy.
It's not currently open source, but I will consider it in the future. Either in the state it is in or possibly some normalized scaffolding version to easily create a cheat sheet like this one.

It doesn't look so easy. First you must put a GPS in each device, I think the cheaper drones don't have one. Also, the forbidden areas may vary, so they have to provide a way to update it.
This essay is important. Many terrific insights into the distortion in the late-stage private markets. But also really strong language. Hearing a GP at Benchmark say 'This “you are so lucky to have this opportunity” pitch is eerily Madoffian' is astonishing.
I really think 10,000 for serious exploits like these is just not enough money. Even if OP only spent an hour or two on finding this out (although highly unlikely), they should pay based on seriousness/potential damage of the bug. Great writeup though. Super interesting stuff.

>Soccer is English, it's called "football" in English, so what's this urge to drop into Spanish dialect all of a sudden?

It's probably just to verbally differentiate it from American football without saying 'soccer'.

Should British people feel offended if Americans call British football 'football' and not 'soccer'? IME they'd more likely be happy an American didn't call it by the Americanized name

Edit: I'd guess that the location of the last World Cup, and the fact that the US team didn't do too badly may also factor into things

There were four people I considered genuinely worth reading. Only one of them still posts, and sporadically.

One got banned, and Quora lied about why it banned him, damaging his professional reputation.

> ..Islam. It teaches intolerance

It could be said of the salafi sect of Islam that rules/controls Saudi Arab. But Islamic practices are as varied as any other religion. Unfortunately the percentage of conservative Muslims could be higher, than perhaps other religions (or practices), which managed to evolve. But I dare say, a lot of the stagnation is due to the geo politics of the region (or simply Oil economy and vested interests of US). Which wanted just strong allies, which could ensure stability and flow of Oil at cheap enough prices.

> Remember that Islam is not just the book, it is the people that practice it.

But even within Islamic cultures its so varied, if you look at people in Saudi Arabia, to those in Iran, to those in Turkey, to those in India/Pakistan, to those in Indonesia.

So lets look at history of Iran, which under the 1st Shah brought in lot of modernity. And was about to settle into a British like monarchy, when Mossadegh was democratically elected in 1952, and 2nd Shah was playing a retired monarch's role. Unfortunately Mossadegh was too ambitious and wanted to nationalize Iran's oil, and CIA and MI contrived to plan a coup and forced Shah 2nd to come back. Which later on resulted in 79 Islamic revolution.

So that single incident set Iran back by perhaps 50 years, in terms of reforms and modernity.

So some facts (like your terse and singular classification) may actually be not so, but be a lot layered and complex .

Yes, it's definitely a good idea that will stop casual drone users from being somewhere they shouldn't be flying. Here is a good example (see the description):

The vast majority of drone users won't bother looking up the aviation charts to see if they are inside a control zone or other controlled airspace, and won't have any idea how far away they are from an airport.

A detailed, first-hand write-up of how Hacking Team got owned
This is the original BSD license, modified by removal of the advertising clause. It is a lax, permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with the GNU GPL.

This license is sometimes referred to as the 3-clause BSD license.

The modified BSD license is not bad, as lax permissive licenses go, though the Apache 2.0 license is preferable. However, it is risky to recommend use of “the BSD license”, even for special cases such as small programs, because confusion could easily occur and lead to use of the flawed original BSD license. To avoid this risk, you can suggest the X11 license instead. The X11 license and the modified BSD license are more or less equivalent.

However, the Apache 2.0 license is better for substantial programs, since it prevents patent treachery.

Otherwise, why not just agree in writing to blanket cross license all the IP to each other in exchange for prohibiting any future claim by either party against the other and call it a day? P

Good luck.
