Some secret code hosted on Eyeo's server cannot magically collect keystrokes made on a user's web browser. There has to be a client side JavaScript code or a plugin on the web browser that collects this data and sends it to the server, and therefore, one would be able to point to the plugin or the piece of code that runs on the web browser that does sends the keystrokes related data back to the server.

At the very least, one would be able to see the data (or suspicious data, if it is obfuscated) being sent from the web browser to the server in the 'Network' tab of the web browser's inspector/developer-tools. Do you see any such suspicious data being sent from the web browser to the server? Can you post a screenshot if you do?

A combination of rarity, utility and sunk costs.

The article seems to be wandering down the tangled nest of errors called the labor theory of value, or one of its offshoots. This bedevilled people for a long time who could not explain why a diamond was worth so much when it cost little effort to make and is objectively useless.

Modern children are diamonds. They are not that difficult to make, mostly useless but give great utility to the parent. Modern children are also rare, thanks to birth control. Most affluent societies are below replacement rate, while 1800s societies had kids everywhere. The most spoiled and indulged children are the ones who don't have any siblings.

So...
- kids give their parents pride and joy (like a diamond)
- kids are relatively rare compared to the prior period
- the upbringing of a child is 20 year project for parents now, so the loss of effort as they get older increases the pain of loss

Most of these points are in reverse to the prior period, when you'd have 5 or 6 children in the hope of getting 2 or 3 to adulthood, which was onset much earlier. You had more, invested in them less, and everyone else had more as well.

Thank you for the response - I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted, so sorry for that.

The reason I asked on the benefit to the end-user is because a lot of what was listed about how ads have gotten better is very advertiser/content provider focused. Even relevancy seems more like a symptom of success for the advertiser rather than success for the user.

I am going to assume that I am an outlier case for many of your scenarios, as that's not really how I tend to search for things or decide what to purchase. For things like flights, I almost invariably use ITA Matrix to research and then purchase directly from the airlines, as having relied on site deals in the past either did not provide the promised discount amount or left me standing when the flight got oversold. In other instances, the ads led to a lot of contentless websites.

I guess I'm within the section that is very untrusting of advertisements. Past experience prior to my use of an adblocker left a bad taste in my mouth, and when I work on computers without an adblocker, even for ads that I don't find obtrusive past experience has just taught me to be reluctant. An over-active imagination and some knowledge of how computers work has likely left me in a very mistrusting state.

How would you propose, as an advertiser, to alleviate people in that state? This isn't exclusive to paranoid tech people like myself either (I am calling myself that, not putting words in your mouth), as when I did support for some time, my customers would constantly complain about advertisements, and the times that bad-ads got bad enough to actually infect the computer was enough to convince your average college student that an adblocker was essential. And I am not embellishing when I say "essential"; most wanted to know straight up what to use to keep ads gone.

If this is what you're battling, how do you think the industry should respond (or is?) in order to try to restore trust?

> C-style parentheses and curly braces are so much better for parsing, copy-paste, automatically generated code, etc.

Firstly, to get this out of the way, you shouldn't be using significant indentation when generating code unless you have a good reason; use parentheses, curly braces and semicolons instead https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Indentation#Explicit_c...

Now, I wouldn't say parentheses and offside rules "don't mix well", but I'll grant that there are interactions to keep in mind.

It's true that Haskell's indentation edge-cases are unfathomable, although thankfully I've never run into any. I have no strong preferences either way regarding significant whitespace, as long as there's an "escape hatch" for code generation (i.e. the braces and semicolons I linked to above).

Regarding Python, its lambdas aren't "single line", they're "single expression"; that expression can cover as many lines as you like (e.g. see my SO answer http://programmers.stackexchange.com/a/252546/112115 ).

When learning Haskell, after being a long time Python programmer, I used to think Haskell's indentation rules were complicated. These days, I find it awkward to indent Python code, and end up second-guessing the interpreter a lot.

Maybe that's because I'm fond of using 2D code layout and vertical alignment to indicate relationships between lines, which is quite natural in Haskell. Python's indentation seems to be limited to counting blocks, so it's hit or miss whether adding extra spaces to align things will cause it to choke or not.

It's South Korea. I don't know why are you assuming they don't get a good wage or have interesting personal lives. Some may work longer hours, but it's really not unheard of in our culture.

It's just a way to get something of your head and accept the inevitable. The culture is different, so I doubt it could ever work here, but given how many upvotes any story related to depression or suicide gets on HN, SV could probably use something too.
BEncoding and variants like REncoding are possibly one of my least favourite things ever. If you deal with the Deluge torrent client API you'll see it everywhere.

That aside, fantastic work on this, I think previously the only Bittorrent library for C# was an abandoned Mono project.

Don't forget the extra taxes paid to provide the schooling and hospitals!

It's a good thing for these to be spread out - otherwise those who don't have kids are free riders on those that do. A healthy educated child not only supplies a lifetime of taxes paid, they also provide the labor to care for the ageing who didn't have children.
Just to give people some context, Indians generally use the usual Samsung/HTC/Moto/Xiaomi/... fare, and the ones reviewed here are _~~made~~ marketed and sold by Indian companies_ but don't have a very high market share here. They're also lower end phones generally used by relatively poor folks - I haven't checked, but all of these are probably <Rs.8000 (~$115) phones.

One reason I post this is because I was hoping the article was something about changes made in international brands for Indian context, which might reveal some aspect of Indian telco environment I wasn't aware of. No such luck, just the usual lack of attention to detail by not-paid-enough employees at the phone companies.
Maybe it's because we in the West have become so productive that we value every member of society much more

I think it's less a matter of productiveness, and more a matter of connectedness: it's easier to send thousands to their death if they're not your peers. The increased mobility of our society (both social and physical) has blurred and removed many of the old divides (class, vocation, religion) and we're still working on removing others.

Also, the increased transparency of wars and accountability of institutions plays an important role.
The apathy of you, and most other users is as shocking to me as the the greed that is undermining our privacy. To them, our data which constitutes your identity, is a commodity.

Unless we confront this status-quo that is the greed that would reduce you to a fucking "click impression"s your privacy, dignity and experience will be dominated by a culture of selling to you.

Does it have a distributed version?
This. As painful as it may be in the short term it will be beneficial in the long term. What MS is desparatly trying to avoid is having a critical mass of users who stick with win7 from here on out like what happened with XP. After dealing with that for years they want to cut off the appendix before it makes them sick this time around and who can blame them.

When some big 0day hits 7 all those consumers and small/medium businesses who turned a surprise win10 upgrade into "well we may as well go with 10 on everything at this point" will probably stop complaining.
If you need a "real" PGP, GnuPG 2.1 has had experimental support for Curve25519 since 2014. In the most recent version the experimental warning label was gone, so it should be pretty stable by now. Many keyservers still barf on the keys though.
It would actually be wise to arm special forces with laptops, as we're only going to see more and more operations depending on hacking into security systems and building automation systems with the rise of smart devices that have no business being on the web (aka IoT).

I wish there's a similar article in python.
Hello. I'm the guy who wrote the article. Just created an account as I saw I was getting some traffic from Hacker News.

In answer to you question: They do sell on Amazon FBA themselves. More and more so in the last year. In fact, in the seller center there are two choices for language, English and Chinese. That is why I suggest focusing on creating your own products or improving on existing ones rather than just reselling stuff from Alibaba.

Even then you need to do your own marketing. As a consumer in your own market place you should have an advantage over a Chinese seller who can only speak broken English.

It's also worth pointing out that these factories aren't in the business of creating brands. They're in the business of mass producing other people's brands. As such the more people who work with them the better, regardless of where they plan on selling the final product.

> the "FreeBSD Desktop" is even more so.

The funny thing is that there's a reason for that: up until recently, the focus of FreeBSD has been on being a server OS. There's a push recently on improving the graphics situation, but it's only relatively recent, and is mainly focussed on getting integrated graphics on more modern hardware working. There are also some efforts to expand the driver compatibility layer so that Linux drivers can be run as kernel modules with minimal change.

Moreover, FreeBSD types aren't quite so fixated on making a "FreeBSD desktop" as the Linux community is. Sure, there are desktop spins like PC-BSD, but the project as a whole has never really had desktops as a focus.

FreeBSD as a project is pragmatic, and tries to focus effort on where the greatest benefit lies.

Of course, there's the larger issue of Linux being insular, with a tendency to reinvent the wheel (epoll vs. kevent/kqueue being a nice example) rather than looking at what the state of the art is elsewhere and adopting that. You just have to look at containerisation: Solaris and FreeBSD have long had this in the form of Zones and Jails[1], but containerisation on Linux is largely an independent effort that didn't look to learn lessons from those efforts or adopt them.

[1] And I remember containerisation being mocked when hypervisors and VMs were all the rage. How things change...

Mathamatics is not like other fields - it isn't even really a science.

The non-mathamtical language used in mathamatics papers is easily translated, but understanding the maths is impossible without the required background and it can't be translated into any natural human language. Maths uses a synthetic symbolic language which mathematicians around the world share allowing them to communicate - in the natural sciences we use English instead.

I can confirm. Montessori education is great for kids under 12. For middle or high school, it was actually Maria Montessori who said, when asked what she saw as the best education for teenagers, that it was useless to try to force adolescent to concentrate on intellectual work. Instead she recommended an Earth school, where children would live close to nature, eat fresh farm products, and carry on practical work related to the economics of supplying food, shelter, transportation, and so forth.

The Montessori middle- and high schools that currently exist, at least in Europe, do not follow Montessori's advice at all. Instead they have a kind of half hearted mix of regular education with some elements of lower age Montessori, such as more responsibility to make your own homework planning. For many teenagers this is not a good combination and they drop out.

The problem is Apple does the exact same thing if not more frequently. So what options do you really have. Ubuntu, which is good but not sure if runs the games you need. Keep in mind Windows 10 is a better operating system than Windows 7.(SSD, filesystem, Hyperv, and soon WLS) I can see how the upgrade window is aggressive but this is the last version of Windows.
Huh. I had not really looked closely at DragonFly in a while. I had briefly looked at it when setting up my new server, but the fact that HAMMER does not deal with redundancy itself made me stick with FreeBSD/ZFS.

On a laptop, however (with an Intel GPU) that is not an issue, as there is only one disk, anyway. I might have to take a look over the summer.

>> The key point of democracy isn't voting, it's participation.

> Your right to vote is the mechanism by which your right to participate is ensured.

It's a shallow form of participation. Being educated, informed, and being part of the decision process - drafting bills, finding alternatives - forming political parties, being part of committees , being available for election, all the work that is done before a vote his held is arguably more important. And if most people aren't involved in that part, you don't IMNHO have what can reasonably be called a real democracy.

It's of course much easier to just present "the people" with the choice of a red or green bike shed, rather than discuss alternative economies that might make the nuclear plant less relevant.
Yeah, monotorrent doesn't really work very effectively. Tends to get blocked by a lot of peers and really mediocre throughout when it isn't blocked.

The last time I was trying to build something that used bittorrent, I fell back on launching aria2 and redirecting and parsing its stdout, which as crazy as it was, worked much better.
It's tricky, though. How big do the changes need to be before you accept them as separate?

In the UK store at least, a good portion of the ice machines sold appears to be the same design, but there are subtle and not so subtle differences, but many of the not-so-subtle differences are tweaks of the exterior plastic.

About 2/3 of them appears to have internals of the same broken design (plastic cam on the ice tray coupled with lack of a sensor to determine when it has rotated all the way back, causes it to twist and eventually crack), but it's not clear if all of the nearly identical versions are even from the same manufacturer.

Some of the non-broken ones are still clearly based on the same design too, but changing the plastic cam for metal and adding extra sensors.

(I learned this after my second one broke, and I dismantled it and looked through drawings and pictures before ordering my next one).
"The problem is CSS has a global scope".
CSS can be written in a way that it affects only specific parts of the site/app.
"you change one thing and breaks the whole site's layout".
There are use-cases when you want changes to reflect across the entire site and CSS can be easily used to achieve it. (Ex: changing color of buttons).
Javascript can also break the whole site's layout. It just depends on what code we write.

It's strange, I have heard lots of people complain who wanted to give Linux a try (over Windows) and ran into hardware issues.

On the other hand, over the last ~15 years, I have almost never checked if a piece of hardware is supported by Linux (or BSD) before buying it, and I have only run into problems twice, really. One was an Aureal Vortex sound card for which a driver was maintained outside the Linux kernel tree, so I had to download it and build the module manually; the other was a really crappy HP scanner. Ironically, these days it does work on Linux much better (meaning: at all) than on Windows. (One key factor, though, seems to be not using brand-new hardware. After a year or so, chances are much* better it is supported properly.)

Apart from that, I have had no problems at all. Maybe I was just really lucky.
Sorry for the slow answer, yes, they'd have to have the money up front. It works better and is more common in multi-generational households where they can pool their resources and savings across generations. There's a version where the deposit is much smaller (say 10k) and rent is still payed.

He had nice ideas and was a wise men.

It does not mean that all praise should not come with a little of objectivity on its political bias: his slightly biased opinion of the people in the process of making political decision.

He was a techocrat -even though he was a gifted one. And technocrats have been so far strongest heralds of unfair IP laws that is the very first reason of the existence of free software.

Free software is a walk-around technocratic decisions. Technocracy is much more a problem to free software than regulations.

Regulations that can be changed by the people matters more than «right» decisions taken by some sort of deaf aristocracy.

I will agree his essay was on spot. I will still spot his strong will to undermine democratic process and his distrust of the people.

Korean and Japanese group actives and social organization always weirds me out. I just can't relate and it feels totally alien. I understand that most of it comes from totally different perspective.

Somebody tried to explain to me that East Asians "roleplay" their parts social hierarchies. It's the job of the boss to patronize and it's the job of the workers to play their role. Officially everything is strict and proper, but in reality there are many accepted ways to break the rules without causing undue fuss. There are lazy workers in Japan and Korea like everywhere else. It's the job of the boss to yell at them like he is really angry, but workers know that their job security and place in the organization is secure if they do the minimum (compared to the same situation in US).
