Hello Bloggers, Here is how to increase your revenue with YouTube Videos
Earning money online is not easy if you don’t have a good audience even if you have a good content. Once, you have the larger number of audience it is not hard to earn revenue with your content.

If you are a curator, and have a good audience online, you can easily make some money with Vidinterest. All you have to do is, apply for Verification from your setting page. Once, we verify your information you can start earning with the videos you curate.

On YouTube, 1,000 USA views on a video monetized by roll-out ads, you could earn $5-$8. On Average, you can earn $0.80 per 1000 views with banner ads. (source — Quora) . Videos added on Vidinterest can make similar earnings like in YouTube as ads appear on Video player, also with extra Vidinterest Earnings.

Only with banner ads, with 5000 video views, you can earn estimated $4 with YouTube and when views are generated in Vidinterest with the same video, you can earn extra $1. In total, you can make $5 with 5000 video views.

Good Luck :)
The ones I care about:

- The capabilities of PL/SQL and TransactSQL, FOSS databases don't have as feature rich programming language for stored procedures.

- Ability to mix relation, object oriented and unstructured data modeling

- The SQL features and extensions

- Distributed transactions across multiple databases across clusters

- The SQL Developer IDE or integration with Visual Studio, without relying on third parties
Bottom line is that this could've just been a billing error from the outset that it took Apple two years to correct. Howells is making the assumption it was a school district with no evidence whatsoever. If it was Apple's policy to refund school district 3rd party app purchases regardless of time, we would be hearing this complaint constantly, not just from this one guy.

This is a great question. What do we lose by thinking of real computers as Turing machines when they are in fact finite ? For one thing I believe the halting-problem doesn't exist in reality because it only holds for infinite systems (ie. Turing machines), not finite ones (ie. physical computers).

> With respect to RAII, I think the main benefit isn't cache-friendliness, but rather deterministic destruction - you can't delay relinquishing a scarce resource that someone else might want to use.

I never said it was related to it, I said it was the other feature many think it is C++ specific, or introduced via C++.

Ada also has RAII via controlled types and Object Pascal also had destructors when it was introduced.

Functional programming languages that allow for rich macros, support trailing lambdas or currying also allow for RAII like implementations using those features.

For example, with-open-file in Common Lisp.

> But maybe monads are too exotic to provide a good example.

Nah, it's fine.

But a monad is just a part of an abstraction. Which also means that they have been used without that specific denomination for ages.

The use of Category theory just allows to think about things out-of-context but it is not necessary nor evident that it "always" leads to interesting results for the everyday programmer.

It is like the difference between applied and pure mathematics.

The concept of a monad in haskell was introduced to solve a specific problem though, if I remember well. And it was not uncontroversial. But people who know better could chime in.
The Judicial Conference of the United States is neither a "little-known committee" or in any way secretive or shady, unless one is totally ignorant of how the judicial system works. The EFF certainly is not.

While that's true in isolation, if you do the birth control thing of success rate with average usage, I imagine diet alone will massively win out. Diet and exercise, to someone who does not enjoy the exercise, is significantly harder to do than just dieting. People who struggle to lose weight generally struggle to achieve just one of dieting or exercising, so advising them to focus on the easier and more effective option is best.

Obviously, it varies person to person - if someone enjoys a team sport enough to exercise and still combine it with good diet, great. Those people don't tend to be the ones struggling with weight loss, however.

You know, Oracle is not so bad for developers if you can get their attention. Basically, if you pay enough, or promise to pay enough (in a pre-sales track), you get treated well.

I think Python's, along with languages others mentioned here, popularity is what influenced and partly driven the rapid change of C++. Lisp was around for decades, yet only now, almost right after Python became popular, these old concepts were incorporated.
Closures in other languages like Haskell, JavaScript and Python (and almost certainly Elm too, I've never used it and hence don't know for sure) are similar to the `Rc<Fn(...) -> ...>` type in Rust. In fact, if absolutely necessary, one could probably use that everywhere.

Stuff like this is one of the trade-offs in Rust: control over exactly how closures behave (if allocations are necessary, if virtual calls are necessary when calling it) is balanced with/detracts from how much typing one needs to do to get them to work.
Introducing Nicediceware
I've read this several times, and while some of the points are correct it still feels like a marketing piece from Moxie.

gpg isn't difficult to use, hell my grandmother could do it. Concepts like private keys (this is the key you keep private) and public keys (this is the... well, public key) are trivial to understand.

You don't need to understand the technical details of encrypting and signing messages either, you just paste in the message and the pubkey key and encrypt.

It's by far the best email encryption solution we have right now, and I seriously doubt we'll be seeing anything better any time soon.
I make no comment as to the difficulty of their specific case. They (or more likely the consultants they hire) may well try/have tried this and find they have a more complex problem set. But bear in mind that 'sniffing the protocol' will require reverse engineering the encryption in use between the software and the driver and the whole deal requires someone who is both comfortable working at disassembler level and familiar with the platform and APIs and with the device driver model. Because it's not enough just to sniff the protocol, you must also locate the response checks in what might be a large piece of complex software - especially when you're looking at it disassembled.

And of course, you have to know all of this before you even know the right questions to ask, or what kind of skill set you need to buy in.

To those of us who grew up with +Orc, fravia and woodman, sure, this is like the first thing we'd try, but even for that generation this is a relatively esoteric skill set.

There's not enough info in the article to get anywhere near assuming this protection model applies in this specific case and I'm absolutely not suggesting that it does, only that I have encountered legacy or orphaned software systems which have been protected in this way and been able to successfully transition them away from legacy hardware keys.
Yes this is true - the problem is we can't crew them.

It's not about necessity. It's about convenience. There's really not much you can't do with C++, the only question is how much effort it requires. These changes help reduce effort without sacrificing anything, spare it for minuscule amount of compile time. Besides, you can always use old syntax if you prefer.
> Consider a submarine where everything is automated.

We're not quite there yet but there have been some interesting developments.

The Soviet Project 705 ( Alfa ) class was highly automated with a crew of only 30. All were top-tier officers ( no NCOs or ratings ), partly due to systems-mangement training requirements and partly because most of their shoot / no-shoot decisions would have been war-starters due to the types of missions assigned.

The Swedes are also keen on automation for their small littoral submarines; the Näckens had only 19 crew, but without the need for long endurance at sea.

But Microsoft could only be anti-competitive because they had an effective monopoly on the PC market. If you don't like iOS's policies, go buy an Android.

I don't like many of Apple's iTunes Store policies, I just don't see how they could be called illegal.
I was going to say the same thing. Apple supports iPhones for about 3-4 years and that's considered exceptional in the industry. People own cars and appliances for decades.

Alpha: Yes, it died. However, my digging found that Intel and Samsung spun it off into a dedicated company licensing Alpha to anyone interested. Only found one vendor that bought it for machines. Nobody major wanted it to exist enough to buy a license. So, the market killed it.

ARM: Similar issues to MIPS in that ARM will sue your ass any chance they get. There's a reason the clone went with ARMv2 and said it was not for profit. ;)

Intel did a great one in the past. Still available but crippled. Look here:

> And if they all want to use it - let them use it. The productivity gained by agreeing on a framework usually outweighs the performance loss over the "best" solution.

I totally disagree, and not because of performance; choosing a framework based on its performance would be premature optimization. Your argument breaks down here:

> I'll be damned if I make them learn my way of doing things. I'd expect these devs to implement a feature quickly

But that's exactly what a lot of projects using a framework end up doing. Between Ember, Angular, React, Backbone, Dojo, Prototype, and GWT, there is a ton of competition in this space, and you would have a hard time finding a team of professionals who all know the same framework. So at least some of your team will be learning the framework, and that learning will not pay off compared to just using vanilla JS. You can't argue that familiarity outweighs the complication added by a framework because people aren't familiar with the same frameworks.

Vanilla JavaScript is the lowest common denominator: almost everyone is familiar with it.

>Credit Card authorization guarantees the funds to the merchant.

It absolutely does not. Even if the customer isn't actively trying to screw you it's still possible for the hold to expire before settlement.

>Signing a bitcoin transaction and broadcasting it to the blockchain does not.

With a reasonable fee it's a far stronger guarantee of settlement than a cc authorization as it's way harder for the customer to reliably cheat you.

>Successful confirmation of the tx on the blockchain does, and to be on the safe side the rule of thumb is to wait for 6 confs on the bitcoin blockchain before considering the funds to be guaranteed.

6 confirmations makes sense if you're selling a house, surely you wouldn't just rely on a cc auth if you were doing that.

Hey, everyone!! I am working on a website that will help people to write regularly and develop a daily writing habit.

It keeps track of daily word count, gives you writing prompts, has github-like contributions graph, and all sorts of cool features to help you focus on writing. I think it's gonna be pretty great.

It's in the early stage at this point, and I would really love some feedback.

Does the idea make sense, do you think it's useful? What features would you like in that kind of tool?
I have had this happen quite often (so the behavior is widespread). That being said, I don't consider it rude. It's absent-minded, but not rude. However, you'll find that there are lots of people on both sides of this issue.

There can be a number of reasons for the delay. Remember that, depending on the company, recruiters are often juggling hundreds of applicants, in a pipeline that's constantly being added to. This can actually be very overwhelming. But it can also be a delaying tactic: you did okay but not that well, so they're waiting to see how other candidates do, or waiting to see if another candidate accept the offer or not.

At the end of the day I don't find it rude/burdensome to have to shoot a recruiter a 2-word email: "Any updates?". Or even shorter: "Pinging," and so on (in my subjective experience these have not been taken rudely, and recruiters appreciate conciseness).

Also note that this is a tactic that can work the other way, to delay interviewing or accepting offers (you want to time your offers so you get them at the same time).

I also don't think this has anything to do with big vs. small companies. Big companies might have more applicants but also have better internal tracking systems. Small companies might have just as many applicants per recruiter, and their tracking systems could be all over the place.
Little known implies that if you ask 100 randomly selected people if they know if it exists, what it is and what it does, a small number, say less than 10 or so (little) will know.

Did you take your educated guess at that fraction?

The only one who kept the deal with Japan alive was Tony Abbott because of his personal friendship with Japanese PM.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries doesn't have an experience to build submarines overseas and there were significant risks leaving someone to "learn on the job".

USA has been (correctly) pressuring Australia to select vendor on its merit and not to take into account geopolitics. Geopolitically, Japan is a lot more important to Australia than France. This is the reason Japanese believed for so long they had the deal in the bag.

With Abbott losing his job, it became easier for France or Germany to hop in. Especially when new prime minister had agenda of damaging previous PM. I think Abbott must feel terrible about Japan not getting the contract but it only shows deals like these should be done at arm's length. Abbott even wrote personal letter to Japanese PM to apologize.

I agree with most of the goals of the EFF, but their blog is basically one misleading description after another for these things. A comment like yours ends up being the top comment for any links to the blog.

Not trying to spin a narrative (I don't have an agenda), this is just based on my personal observations, both of people around me, and the society as a whole (famous people, media, movies, ...).
Most concepts posted about on HN, and for that matter, discussed by the EFF, are "little-known." The inclusion of that description in the headline is obviously intended to make the reader believe that the committee is up to no good in secret, not that most people simply don't know of it.
