Haha, htis takes me waaaay back! About a decade ago at Dorkbot Pittsburgh, I saw Jennifer Gooch give a presentation about an identical project, called One Cold Hand. Dorkbot's website seems to have gone away, but I'll see if I can track down a video of the presentation.

I read it for the first time only 6 months ago. Its become a go-to reference book on my desk, tremendous source of ideas on any number of recent projects.
I'd support a tool which gave me the opposite of that: I'd like to see the ads at first to give the benefit of the doubt, but then be able to blacklist the site if it turned out I didn't like them.

When I say "blacklist the site" I mean the domain I'm viewing the content on, not the domain the ads are being served on. Otherwise you're "punishing" poor sods who just happen to be using the same ad network as an abusive site.

I'm not sure any tool allows that right now. They all block-by-default and have a whitelist instead.
I used to use Evernote all the time, although I wouldn't consider myself a power user. I don't think I utilized all of the features very well. I came to it through Tim Ferriss, I believe, and it was really amazing for me at the time.

I hardly ever use it anymore, using mostly notebooks for actual note taking now. I used to use the web clipper to save articles, but I found that when I would put something in Evernote, I hardly ever went back to access it later. It was like putting things in a vault. That probably all speaks more to me than the product. I am curious what new features they can provide with access to all of Google's machine learning APIs.

I use startpage too, but it also has ads. It just claims not to log or track, which is better.

There is a way out of this dilemma--sacrifice privacy in favor of freedom by making all surveillance feeds and all data mining resources and link to them public. If the average person can't have privacy, then no one should have privacy.
Acceleration over 200km will get you to orbit. The electricity required for a single launch is measured in US pennies.

An aerodynamic vehicle could be extremely safe; in the event of a failure, you could just glide back to the ground. The possibility of violent explosion would be practically non-existent.
> I would guess most people have this idea (in most cases illusion) that advertisers are not able to manipulate them.

I certainly don't pretend that advertising has no impact on me.

I also don't think I'm a mindless drone who does whatever advertisers say.

Advertising is not zero sum. It can be effective and good for the consumer. For example, I have Charles Schwab account because I once saw it in a magazine ad, did some research, and have been a happy customer ever since. Both Schwab and I won, even though they "manipulated" me into learning about their excellent offering.

> I do not have that illusion, and I do not like people that are manipulating me for their own benefit.

You should probably never leave your house then, because almost every person in the world is trying to (subtly) manipulate you. Manipulation isn't evil.

From these data, short-term Pred intake did seem to significantly improve performance during submaximal exercise, with concomitant alterations in hormonal and metabolic responses. Further studies will be necessary to elucidate the mechanisms of these hormonal and metabolic changes, and to determine whether the changes may be associated with the marked performance improvement obtained."

I am using Yandex for my FOSS project's domain. So far, I haven't encountered any big issues. The web interface is plain and simple, but occasionally has some glitches.

Their mobile app (Android) is quite pleasant and lightweight.

What might be a problem for non-Russian speaking people is the lack of documentation in English. Quite often a random link redirects to a page in Russian.
Agree. Silicon Valley promotes failure but not always the candid circumstances, instead just the rebound from failure and all the takeaways. Nice format to draw out an authentic story.

Also, some spellcheckers will surreptitiously auto-"correct" memoization to "memorization" (as, e.g. Word, and I happen to know it does that because it did it in my Master's dissertation; luckily, just a footnote but probably made me look like an idiot trying to show off with terms I don't understand).
I think I agree with at least some of what you say. I feel bad viewing content from small blogs without "paying" for it. My current best compromise is that I run uBlock Origin with an exemption for Google, and then I use Contributor.

It's still not a perfect solution. I give up a lot privacy that way, and in order to use Contributor, I have to give up some of the other uBlock features that I really like (in particular, element-based blocking).

I will note, though, that I don't feel in the slightest bad viewing Facebook or Twitter with ads blocked. Facebook and Twitter survive by network effects; I couldn't reasonably opt out of using their services even if I want to. Since I'm forced to use their services, then, I think it's reasonable that I do so on my own terms.

The Price equation was not, as Price had hinted to him, a new derivation or correction of his ideas. Instead, it was “a strange new formalism that was applicable to every kind of natural selection”. Its strangeness came precisely because Price was not a biologist – instead of starting from the work of their scientific forebears, he had worked everything out for himself from first principles.

“In doing so,” wrote Hamilton, “he had found himself on a new road and amid startling landscapes.”

I totally agree. As a company, we lost two of our best engineers who emigrated to the US in the past year. And no, it was not because of the pay or working conditions or no equity. People have been sold the "American Dream" to people outside America over the decades. Young people have seen their relatives from previous generations live much better lives in the US over India.

Bringing people back will take time and I think once the infrastructure is fixed (which is very fixable in the next 10-15 years), most people will not think of emigrating. Having lived in the US and India, I think the society in India is as free as in the US, without the anxiety of "fitting in" and leaving your family behind. Also today you have access to the best products, technology and knowledge being in India so other than the physical infrastructure (housing, travel, cleanliness) the gap is much reduced.

I sincerely hope the immigration laws get tighter in the US so that we can build great companies, create wealth for the society, create jobs and remove hardship and poverty in India.

> well-traveled

At least colloquially, this term signifies one has been to other countries (or better, other continents) and visited other cultures, immersed in other languages, other governments, other ways of eating, etc. One who stays within a country would not (in my opinion) be "well-traveled", despite the country being enormous. My 2cents.

While you can distil the fact that Israel is "wrong" their main offense is their existence, not any single act or policy, pre-1967 there was a "Palestinian Liberation" agenda also that one focused on Israel proper, after 1967 when the current Palestinian territories were captured from Egypt and Jordan it shifted, but overall the end game has never changed.

No one in the west or elsewhere was claiming that Egypt or Jordan were occupying Palestine, no one in the west objected Egypt shelling Gaza pretty much every other night, and no one dragged Jordan to the Hague for Black September, ironically enough the "Black September" terrorist organization which murdered the Israeli athletes during the Munich olympics was named for a terrible event that Israel had nothing to do with, but instead of going to attack Jordanian athletes for the 20,000 Palestinians that the Jordanian army butchered they went after the Israeli delegation.

I think you guys are missing the point. I know he normally is in favor of H1 but not this article.

He mentions two mains things in his post:
1. Give a path of Green Card to entrepreneurs.

2. Do not bound h1b employees to current jobs. Right now US is allowing quasi slavery by bounding workers to their jobs and making it really difficult to switch. If employers couldn't enslave h1 workers it wouldn't be economically viable for them and they are get lot less h1 workers.

I have worked at startups all of my career, built the biggest social network to come out of India, built another startup, sold it to Dropbox, currently head the innovation group at a Fortune 15. All I want to do is build startups. But on H1 I can't hold majority stake in my own company, and because of my previous experience I don't want to do a startup again on h1.

It will take me 20 years to get a Green Card on EB-2. I am trying for EB-1 but even with my background it will be difficult. If I don't get a Green Card by next year I will move out of US.

I am also discouraging any Entrepreneurs I know in India against a move to US.

I sincerely hope that the situation improves.
The phase is important because tidal forces are the sum of forces from both the Sun and the Moon. When the Moon is full, that is because the Moon is directly opposite the Sun. When the Moon is new, that is because it is directly in front of the Sun.

This causes minimums and maximums in the tidal forces on the Earth.
I'm glad this sort of lateral-thinking-esque thing can still make it to the front page. I don't write poetry, but this seems serendipitously related to other things I've been thinking about.

I've been getting into lifting weights a lot over the last year, and something I read recently changed the way I've started performing the exercises. I've started focusing more on the movements I'm doing, resisting the lazy desire to just go through the motions. It seems to me to be a kind of "avoiding the abstraction," instead lasering in on what's actually going on with my body. It has the tendency to bring out an ecstatic state as well, which is a nice bonus. It feels like a much deeper relationship with the thing I'm doing.

Forbes started by asking nicely for people to disable ad blocking on their site, stating that their ads were not obnoxious nor dangerous.

I complied, just to find myself overwhelmed by some of the most obnoxious, heavy, and dangerous ads around.

The solution? STOP VISITING FORBES. It's that simple.

It also shows that you can't trust the publishers themselves to rate their own ads, and that's why an initiative like ABP's one is a good thing.

Asking seriously, but isn't Russia fundamentally closer to a kleptocracy? Dishonesty is apparently more pervasive and built in to their culture. From my understanding, bribe culture and cheating are an accepted norm. Not to say these characteristics do not exist in America, just not anywhere to the same extent?
> it's much harder to make an existing game better.

Im not sure who thinks this is "wise", when it's simply not true. The problem is making a game better enough to gain marketshare before the changes are absorbed by the dominant player.

Go might not provide built-in support for classical inheritance, but that doesn't prevent you from rolling your own:

(0) Embed base structs.

(1) Implement non-overridden methods as redirected calls to base struct methods.

(2) Implement overridden method calls however you wish.

What Go doesn't make possible is tying inheritance to subtyping, like Java and C++ do. And this is a very good thing.
Everything I wish I’d known when raising my first Seed Round
Wow. I don't think the EOMA68 author is really the sort of person you want in charge of an open standard. They also seem somewhat conflicted, beyond WP:COI, for example, regarding patents he says:

> i'm a SOFTWARE LIBRE DEVELOPER. do you know what that means? it means we DON'T LIKE patents!

But on his LinkedIn page we find:

> as a result of my exploration in implementing encryption algorithms on an ASP, I also came up with enough new ideas for Aspex to be able to generate over six new patents.

To be honest, I don't know what exactly is meant by a 'Software Libre Developer' anyway, it seems to be a strange way of saying 'Open Source Software Developer' but with some kind of hidden subtext.

QUESTION for Americans: If you approach a police officer and ask for directions (or any context where youre not a suspect) and the police officer asks for your ID can you legally refuse to comply?

I understand that I have never dealt with really large datasets, whether as a hobby or as a professional (doing econometrics and related analytical work).

What it's not clear to me is what TSDBs (such as those listed by Wikipedia; I looked a bit into InfluxDB particularly) do better than RDBMSes.

This isn't "negative" skepticism, it's an earnest lack of knowledge.

“Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds throughout the Solar System and beyond, will be unified by their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by the knowledge that, whatever other life may be, the only humans in all the Universe come from Earth. They will gaze up and strain to find the blue dot in their skies. They will love it no less for its obscurity and fragility. They will marvel at how vulnerable the repository of all our potential once was, how perilous our infancy, how humble our beginnings, how many rivers we had to cross before we found our way.” ~ Carl Sagan.

Don't rocket-based vehicles end up burning a significant amount of fuel just to lift the weight of other fuel? What if there was a hybrid approach of using a mass driver to launch fuel containers into orbit, and then the rocket vehicle carrying people (and other more delicate cargo) could rendezvous with and pick up the previously launched fuel containers?
"Government powers can only go up, never down."

That's not really true. There were significant curtailments of US government power after scandals like Watergate, the Pentagon Papers, the revelations of MK ULTRA, and all the spying that was done on journalists, civil rights leaders, etc.

Of course, now there's been a backlash in the other direction, and it will probably get a lot worse before it will get better. But history has shown that it can get better.

Also, see the history of the Stasi in East Germany and Stalin in the USSR.

> Wow, that's very neat! Thank you!

Glad I could help. Thank you for building awesome software.

> Does Clang support this as well?

Clang supports __attribute__((section)).

For linker script support, it'd depend on what linker you use. GNU ld and gold have complete support for linker scripts. LLVM's lld has some support for linker scripts, plenty enough to do things like this, though it may lack some features that GNU ld and gold support.

> It looks like I don't need the main.o(.text) line either, which is good because that would be a large burden on users of the library.

When I attempted to link without that, the linker complained that it couldn't find main. Interesting that it worked for you without that. You can also use wildcards to match all object files, if that helps, and then use "ld -T thescript.ld *.o" to link.

> Also, just noting for others, I had to use .text : { libco.o(.rdata); } since my char array was const.

Sadly, read-only sections vary a bit more; some compilers use .rdata, some use .rodata.

You could use __attribute__((section)) to explicitly put the array in a specific section, then name that section in the linker script; that avoids the warning and any platform-specific inconsistency.
I'm sure this is great from the perspective of a Rust developer who wants a Rust GUI library, and the post is basically written from that perspective.
