Yes, but viewing the source or using extra extensions is more work. Is it really worth all that trouble to view Forbes articles?

Here's what I did: when Forbes asked me to disable my ad-blocker, I politely ignored the request. When it demanded that I disable my ad-blocker, and actively prevented me from viewing the articles, I simply went elsewhere. Problem solved: they made it too difficult to see their site while blocking ads, so I stopped going to their site.

Every site which really believes that ad-blocking is "theft" should do the same. But as long as they happily allow me to see the site while blocking ads, I have no problem doing so. I'm merely politely declining to view the ads, just as I politely decline the extra warranty when buying stuff, or I might not bother showing up early enough to see the ads in a theater before a movie, or I don't bother looking at billboards on the highway, or I muted the TV and/or went to the bathroom during commercial breaks back in the days when I watched TV.

If you really want people to look at your ads, you need to enforce that, instead of just whining about it. But if you enforce it, you might drive some people away, but there's nothing you can do about that. You can't have it both ways.
All I ever saw was "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough storage".
Interesting. But how does it mean Facebook will align itself to Israels interests? Just because Zuckerberg's sister supports AIPAC doesn't mean Facebook is.

While a relationship between Facebook and Israel seems strong. How does it affect posts that are critical to Israeli policy? For example, if I post something that highlights activity that is illegal according to the UN how is Facebook to justify the removal of that post?
Both of those terms are indeed "marketing jargon", but I don't think they're intended to market products—rather, they market people.

The point of treating data science as a field is to distinguish the people doing it from "regular programmers." This creates a distinction of caste: the "regular programmers" are relegated to maintenance work, never trusted to touch any of the mathematical and CS-degree-requiring parts of their own discipline. The "data scientists" are then hired from outside, to do precisely the parts of programming that every programmer at the company would have already been proved competent at, through degree-qualification and technical interviews that seek out exactly these talents. And the "data scientists" are paid better for it, and given better working conditions, and less micromanagement.

Same with machine learning: it's just programming—certainly, a kind of programming that is heavy on CS, but certainly one you can pick up quickly enough to get some good practical results. But you hire ML people separately from "programmers", and you never hand your "programmers" ML tasks.

From yesterday's subthread on the wind-down of Starfighter, I gather that a large part of its goal was to reveal that the emperor has no clothes here: that nearly any programmer is capable of doing "data science" or "machine learning" (and, as well, "reverse-engineering", "low-level programming", and a host of other things) if actually given a chance to solve the problems.
Conclusion from reading: Gitlab is just another open-source company that raised money and is now desperate to monetize it's products.

Unfortunately for them. The market is already saturated with CI tools, including good ones.

- If you want good self-hosted CI, you use teamcity (jetbrains) or bamboo (atlassian). Side note: They cost money, you get what you pay for.

- If you want good SaaS CI, you use travis-ci (linux), circle-ci (linux) or appveyor (windows).

- If you want to suffer endlessly, you use Jenkins (previously hudson). It's shit, it has a Bad UI, it's an aggregation of poorly maintained plugins, it lack even the most simple features, the list goes on...

- If you want to go exotic, you can find dozens of other [partial] CI tools.

There is no room for gitlab. Teamcity already has a free edition offering 20 projects and 3 slaves. All the aforementioned tools are free for open-source projects.

Disclaimer: I have used all the tools mentioned above.

-----

The reason the good tools are not popular is:

1) they cost money and people are bitches when it comes to spending even $10

2) most people start with the old well-known shitty tools and then they're locked in... and the efforts required to move away just increase over time (sadly, nobody got fired for choosing Jenkins in the first place :( )
I would love to get one as well
What's new with neutron-lib 0.4.0
Uh, it's not that clear cut. Also, the line is drawn along the lines of developed vs. developing economies.

Having lived in India and had some experience with US multinational companies, the 'massive international markets' in developing countries are limited to electronics, automobiles, and computer science: a few companies like Ford, GM, Microsoft, Intel, and most significantly, Apple. In other industries, companies like Unilever, P&G, etc. setup subsidiary structures because the markets in India and China are often much smaller in $s. At the same time, in structures similar to how P&G or Ford manage their Indian or Chinese businesses, Indian and Chinese companies control US/European corporations: Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo, Starwood Hotels, AMC Theaters, etc.

> "Escape Velocity Override" is the only game in its series that I never completed, because of the registration "incentive"

Really? You should try it if you can, it's great. There were also a lot of great mods, like one total conversion called Frozen Heart. Of course they'd make the game crash all the time.

Now, the third one had problems. They added all this… story… but the story lines liked to start with you getting kidnapped and drafted into a space army, so you pretty much couldn't do anything fun for most of the game. It's still available for Windows though.

> A game I recently described as "Poor Man's Sky" ; )

Elite Dangerous is pretty much exactly EV but with modern graphics and VR, so that's nice.

> Don't you mean "Maelstrom"?

Yeah, that one!

Also want to mention Realmz which some people are trying to clone, and TaskMaker which nobody is.
Agreed. But it has to rewritten, that takes some time and costs money. It's another barrier preventing Intel to chanige their mind about it. But in the end it would be open source if Intel changed their mind.
I'd like one please
Curious what incentive would there be for Google to acquire Evernote? They already have Keep.
Or not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_poppy_syndrome
Or how about software engineer?

You can absolutely get a job as a web developer without a degree. I know many who have done so.
A bit off topic, but I've just spent 3 minutes trying to figure out how to scroll this website on mobile before realizing that it scrolls sideways.
I look at the operations of a lot of middle market tech companies that are fairly old (10+ years in existence) and I'm starting to see more and more companies move off of Oracle and on to Postgres. I expect this trend to continue.

> an English-speaking primarily Western audience

Fair point, although it hinges on the assumption that HackerNews is mainly of interest to Westerners who are primarily English-speakers.

When it comes to casual assertions of racism - most often the one who smelt it, dealt it.
You are correct. Disagreeing with the law obligates you to break it. Or at least it does according to Thoreau, Jefferson, Gandhi, ML King Jr, et al.

But the difference between a law and a promissory note is that the legislature didn't get your explicit approval before passing the law. The promissory note has your signature on it, under a promise that you made to pay a certain amount at a certain time in exchange for valuable consideration.

The note is a contract, and you can make any contract you like. But we do have rules for the types of contracts that the state will help to enforce. The parties to the contract have to be competent, and the contract can't force anyone to do anything illegal, and everybody has to understand what they are agreeing to. If it was, indeed, a "shitty choice" to take a loan that you couldn't reasonably pay back, there may be an argument there that the contract was lopsided and unconscionable from the start, and being forced to repay it on the original terms would be rewarding bad behavior on the part of the lender.

Defaulting on a loan because you now disagree with the terms is less ethical than dealing weed because you disagree with cannabis prohibition. You should really support clemency for nonviolent drug offenses before considering forgiveness of student loan debts. One is a matter of being forced to live under the (somewhat arbitrary and capricious) edicts of the powerful, and the other is about breaking promises after already realizing the benefits from making them.
While I agree with your sentiment in general, do you really think it's normal to be in a house 5 years after graduating? That's still "first steps of my career" phase. Completely unheard of even when I was growing up where I'm from - you would have been seen as doing very well to own a home in your mid/late-20's.
Let's not kid ourself that doping isn't rampant in professional sports.
I've used just about all of the tools listed above as well and today happily I use gitlab for nearly all of them as opposed to miserably using some of them in piecework together.
Why do you assume you only receive accurate news if news agencies have a revenue stream? I would argue the opposite is true. Advertising increases the likelihood that your news in not honest and accurate.
> Why would you need an adblocker for that?

Because there are websites with content other than advertisements I am interested in.

Now, I think Facebook, Google, other advertisers and content providers using these ad networks have made the (moral) rules of the game quite clear. They try to extract as much net value from every transaction with me as is even remotely legally and technically possible. And they make massive investments on the technology that is trying to maximize this value extraction. Why should I feel bad playing by the same rules they have created?

(Note that in practice I am not as ideological as my arguments here are. I have e.g. chosen to disable the adblocker for some websites instead of paying for subscription to support them somehow. Reason for this is the fact that it is much easier to turn off the adblocker than hassle with payments.)
That's true. They don't officially support the Raspberry Pi because it needs proprietary drivers and thus breaks the "chain of trust" needed for flashing Libreboot.

It's a bit over-the-top paronoid to expect firmware modifying software in GPU drivers, but I understand their point.
The implied difference is that in bribery you're asking the official to do something that they must not do, to have him act against his employer.

To use a restaurant analogy, tipping the bartender to get quicker service is "greasing the wheels" but tipping the bartender to get drinks "on the house" or to get an exclusive event without paying the bar owner - that would be bribery.
I've not found a lot of good espresso after moving to SF either. The best, albeit a bit overpriced, so far is at Reveille's on 4th. If you have suggestions..
Fellowship worked really well for the most part, but our real goal is to 10x or 100x the number of startups that we help, and Fellowship in it's current form couldn't easily do that. The MOOC is essentially Fellowship 2.0 -- we're taking what we learned from Fellowship and then opening it up to the whole world so that anyone can participate.
We are fractured with frameworks, etc., but the underlying language (JS) and patterns are interoperable.

Its true that backend has had this since the dawn of time, but _not_ having that on the frontend allowed it flourish. I agree though that after a certain amount of time, only a few languages will live on.
the real reason, imho, was that gorhill got fed up of crappy bug reports and all the issue management hell. he forked and continued working with his own repo without ability to make issues. he probably hoped that this teenager had more energy for communicating with users and skills to merge commits back. someone probably know relevant issue numbers where drama was happening...
Possession of a license in the past for a license is relevant to future licensing

That's not the case to my knowledge, as a matter of law or procedure, excluding special cases like someone being a bit late to renew and getting grandfathered. Otherwise, getting a license again requires going through the whole process again, although you won't have to take a new qualification class or the like, as long as your retained your record of it.

As for good or bad conduct with respect to the license, the former is inferred from a lack of records of the latter, and those are, indeed, permanent records, aside from various process laden executive or judicial remedies to pardon or otherwise expunge them.

So, no, I see no need to keep forever records of CCW licenses.

BTW, did you know 10 states have no concealed carry license requirement? And Missouri very possibly will join them this week.
Tell? I'm sorry, but that's a disrespectful way to phrase your statement -- he isn't even a Canadian citizen. Where do you get your entitlement from?
You have to understand, Apple's strategy is and has always been to make extraordinary products without shouting about it. Sure, they do advertise and run conferences, but they never bold these little details. This explains why caring about products is something all Apple employees do without thinking about monetizing it. It's true what they say: Steve Jobs' DNA still runs through Apple.

Microsoft also has billions of cash, but never have they done such a thing. They even had more time and money than Apple in the 90s.
> Despite all these efforts, JavaScript still falls behind if compared to other programming languages and will have a very hard time catching up.

Wat? This statement is devoid of reason or proof. I hate javascript, but at least explain that Browser adoption + momentum is why people aren't writing client code in python yet.
> Uh, it's not that clear cut. Also, the line is drawn along the lines of developed vs. developing economies.

It really is. No developing economy companies enjoy anywhere near as much international success as American companies do, however you want to parse it.

Since this is a tech forum, we're talking about tech companies. You already noted how Apple, Intel, Microsoft. Add on Google, Facebook, and Amazon and you can see that almost every single major US tech company has strong international profits.
My guess is that just about any organization that's using it's business as a vehicle to push social changes is eventually going to start adopting such a structure. You want to keep the business profitable while at the same time making room for new efforts. If you just started opening up new departments in the already-profitable organization you risk watering down what makes it magical.
I moved to Brazil with $2,000 and no job. Granted, I got lucky finding clients that would allow me to work remotely, but you don't need a fortune to drop out of the rat race. Things work out. If you have friends and family and aren't mentally ill, the chances of you ending up on the street are pretty low. You may have to eat fried flour to keep from going hungry, but it's never as bad as you think it will be (speaking from personal experience). The hardest part is taking the leap. I would have backed out if I hadn't already told everyone I knew that I was leaving, but here I am eight years later, still living abroad and making a comfortable living. If you are motivated and industrious you will find a way to thrive in any situation.

Edit: If you are supporting children, the above advice may not apply.
> It meant a poor student could use the exact same tools as a professional. That era is now over.

Not entirely true. Both the professional and the poor student now use IntelliJ and not everyone has a need for the Ultimate Edition.
Your anecdotes are interesting but the data shows that the college wage premium is as high as it has ever been.
Yes agreed, it really sounds like a workaround. They improve the detection rate by reducing the noise floor.
I find it interesting that they took the time to implement it, it must have cost a considerable amount of work that they could have put into filter algorithms instead. Fan noise sounds like an artifact that is easy to filter, but I'm probably wrong.
The electricity required for a single launch is measured in US pennies.

78,125 kWh x $0.04/kWh = $3,125 / launch

I maintain my claim.

The two claims above are incompatible.
I'm almost certain that the primary reason is a general preference for sweets among Cubans. But it's possible that the dark roasts commonly used are part of it.
Step 5: Blog post about the wonderful journey users are about to embark on.
I am not a marine biologist, but is it possible that there is a different substance (maybe something artificial) that could be dumped instead of iron to encourage algae blooms without the associated toxicity? Obviously that would raise the cost. Or maybe iron + substance X to suppress the formation of toxic blooms?

Maybe there is some sort of trade off point here. Where the C02 reduction saves more wildlife than what ends up getting killed off by the toxic blooms?
Last Chance Tourism and the Great Barrier Reef
- university is a place where people should go to learn about things that interest them and inspire them in the company of other like-minded people whilst simultaneously growing as an individual.

Sounds like a fun luxury good. Why should we subsidize such a luxury good and encourage 25-50% of the population to consume it?

Should we also subsidize luxury goods enjoyed by other subcultures, e.g. video games, muscle cars or strip clubs? If not, why not?

Well, duh. But ACL reconstruction or anti-psychotics can also be very beneficial, nobody in their right mind has ever argued that athletes shouldn't have access to modern medicine because we're pretending they represent primal humanity or whatever.
AFAIK not even Google could get Intel to share the source code on their chips in order to make some of their Chromebooks. If Google can't do it, I doubt a handful of "GNU extremists" are going to change their minds.
Well, then. Consider them exposed! Shock! Dismay! Heaven forfend! (That's a real word, btw. Read a book.)

Sarcasm aside, good. They want data, get it the old fashioned way - steal it and hope they don't get caught.

Besides, it's not like anyone from the CIA ever goes to jail for things. You know, like torture, human rights abuses, etc., etc., so getting caught thieving information that's pretty much public should be worthy of perhaps a mere glance in their direction and maybe and "ahem" from some Congress-critter.

Steady on, John McCain. You'll find a real outrage someday.
I don't see any other free providers of custom domain emails; so when a friend incorporated and wanted to have bob@bobscompany.com then I set him up with yandex - all "english market" services suddenly wanted a rather unreasonable business-class pricing for that simple thing.
Stripe and RunKit
Most people not familiar with espresso making believe the most important piece of equipment is the espresso machine itself. The most important piece of equipment is the grinder. A grinder that can grind beans to the correct consistency will make a mediocre espresso machine seem amazing. You can buy the most expensive espresso machine in the world and use a bad grinder and always have bad results.

While I agree with your assessment of Ritual's coffee, with all due respect, your being Italian alone does not establish your competence in judging espresso. I do understand espresso originates from Italy. I'm just allowing for the possibility that some Italians are poor judges of espresso and some non-Italians are excellent judges of same.

To my taste as a non-Italian, Blue Bottle espresso is delicious. The baristas at the Blue Bottle location in the Financial District usually make a scrumptious cappuccino.
It could very well be. Americans (or better yet, foodies) tend to care about minute details regarding food. In Italy, you go to a cafe/bar and order wine. No wine list, just red or white. You order a blonde/red/dark beer. No labels. Of course, you can specify brands, but in the US, ordering something simply by saying coffee/beer/wine is unheard of.

Got it. So funding for the ideas/projects/companies, not funding for the MOOC.

I don't envy you the task of deciding who will get the grants (and I say this as someone who routinely pores through hundreds of undergraduate student applications for scholarships and awards). Is there any way you can structure the MOOC to give you a cheap-but-not-trivially-gameable grade? That way you could formulate the "startup grants" as being awards for the best performers in the MOOC and cut down significantly on the administrative effort involved. Of course, you might want people to be working on their projects while they take the MOOC, in which case the timeline wouldn't work -- I don't know whether your MOOC is aimed more at preparing people for a startup or people currently doing a startup (this seems like a very important thing to decide and to be clear about).

... it occurs to me now that I've written this that you've almost certainly considered all the points I've raised already; but I figure I might as well leave them here just in case I've pointed out anything you missed. :-)

Bezos' ambition is space manufacturing/mining, contrasted with Elon's dream of Mars colonization. It will be interesting to see how that affects the way things play out.

Elon's greatest contribution is to raise the bar for everyone else. I hope Bezos accomplishes great things in space too.

Yep, the correlation is there. Good article.

It has a variety of stands with all sorts of food. But the front coffee shop (and I think the only dedicated one) is great.
Completely agree, Italian espresso was considered great decades ago, but standards have risen faster elsewhere since then. Italy still makes the best espresso _machines_ such as Simonelli. My experience of coffee there is coffee roasted so dark as to be considered burnt.
