After spending much time among entrepreneurs I find that there are very few with a "business" mind. Great idea, horrible model. This pricing model is so far out of left field that I had to do some research to see if it's ever been successful.

It hasn't.

Although https://github.com/metafizzy is kinda interesting (what this websites UI is based off of)
It's hard to put this into context.

On one hand, we feel anxious if our government has more information about us than we believe they need. We feel that, in a truly free society, the government should keep its nose out of our day to day lives.

On the other hand, we demand that our government somehow prevent crimes and catch criminals, ensure that people treat each other fairly in day to day life, business dealings, even personal relationships. And for-profit corporations have huge databases about our commercial (and other?) activities -- and we have few if any legal tools to force them to stop collecting data or to purge those databases.
Ya, I cant imagine that they'd forget something like that.
Certainly on my iPhone Siri stops listening, which should on the PC restart the fan.

I would be very entertained if you could melt chips with an overly patient Siri.
If you find something that fits well for your company, $2,000 can easily be worth it.

Working with a designer to create a logo for you can be time intensive. There can be a lot of back and forth with the designer as you refine the logo to something you like. Avoiding that time can surly be worth it for many companies with the right budget.

You can create a logo and pay a designer less than $2k but how much of your own time are you going to spend making that happen?
How often are you restarting your browser that this would matter?
How Americans’ lost luggage ends up in a small town in the wilderness of Alabama
Snowden did the right thing - of this I have no doubt. But he also committed a crime - and depending on who you listen to it was either a grave one, or a slight justified one. Do I think his crime justifies 30 years in prison? no. I think the public good he did well offsets most of the harm - but I think he needs to go to jail for some amount of time, even if its only a day.
I worked as a cook in fine dining, the two and three Michelin star level, for eleven years. Outside of being awarded Michelin stars, it's a myth that reviews have any noticeable influence on a restaurant. Never once have I ever experienced a rush of new customers after a review in the SF Weekly or the LA Times.

It was, briefly, a return to the America that the world loved: The one that built a country from the "wretched refuse" of other countries, that made the working class something less than serfs, that made enormous sacrifices to liberate Europe from tyranny.

This is a highly romanticised take on how other countries might have once perceived the US.
Hmmm... Gas mask on OS X makes it pretty simple. It's pretty effective and I don't have to worry about add-ons using lots of resources when I am running multiple browsers.

> A high income American that makes money as ordinary income (rather than capital gains) and does not own a house and lives in a high tax city will pay almost 50% if you factor in federal, state, healthcare, and sales tax.

You have just described a typical Hacker News reader, who lives in, say, San Francisco, has relatively high income, and pays rent.
Can also just use hckrnews.com which is much better in my opinion (and also retains flagged stories, which I am often interested in because I don't share the HN community's news-worthiness ideology).

Copyright Shouldn't Hold Technology Back
Misleading to the user - any person who downloads a thing called "adblock" expects it to block ads. (A less charitable person may point out that a program that claims to do one thing and actually does another is known as a "trojan horse")

The same way a person who downloads an antivirus expects it to block viruses.
Don't forget that Platinum was unveiled years before OS 8 was actually released, and one of the most popular System 7 extensions was Aaron, which provided the Platinum theme, and as such a large contingent of Mac users were using Platinum long before OS 8 came out.

I remember installing Aaron when it first came out, and I don't think I ever uninstalled it (though I remember playing around with the Hi-Tech version that Apple's lawyers killed).
We always have had a surplus of logos. When we design for a company, perhaps 3 to 5 decent ideas are sketched. Of course only one makes the final cut per client. We own any preliminary work, so we can offer these for use later. We would just change the name,
revise slightly and change the color. Bam...new logo.

What we did finally was revise the ones we like (25 to 50 initially) and include them for free as part of a new web design project. A lot of clients have bad logos that can ruin a design. So it helps our designs and clients brands.

Clients could also purchase at a low flat rate if they liked one without a website. This has worked well too.
> Pardoning Snowden would be a comment on the surveillance state

Based on Obama's track record on privacy and surveillance I'm not sure what you think this comment would be.
That's funny: from what I've heard the design community has been worried about these sites since the beginning because of the possibility of doing work that ends up not being bought.
Using a HOSTS file to block things while effective, is also a very bad user experience.

For example, some sites won't let you in until you unblock ads. With an extension you can use the in-browser UI to whitelist that site, with a HOSTS file you'd have to figure out exactly which domains got blocked, then update the HOSTS file, and finally restart the browser & flush the DNS Cache Resolver for it to take effect.

Again, it works, it is just a bad user experience.
Oh, come on! It would take 2 minutes for him to verify his statement.
Amazon has a great service, but when I experiment with things on AWS the cost always seems to end up at $30-$100 to run the experiment on AWS where when I use Google they typically send me a bill for $1.48 or more recently I got a $0.24 bill. It always seems more expensive to even kick the tires on something with AWS versus GCP.

Having said that the company I work for now was spending so much on AWS they had to do something to reverse the trend. We changed how we provision and deploy services on AWS and it has brought our costs down approximately $75,000 / mo. I don't know what we were paying before versus now though so I'm not sure how much we saved as a percentage.
I wouldn't call it "unethical;" perhaps "unexpected?" Seems like an appropriate adjective for an ad blocker which displays ads.
There are plenty of live and popular Apache projects that get plenty of press time: Zookeeper, Hadooop, CouchDB, Cassandra, Storm, Cloudstack, SpamAssassin, Lucene(! -- the guts of ElasticSearch), Spark, .. hell, the list is fairly endless.

Yes they adopt a lot of code (OpenOffice!) and weird abstract crapware, but this is not quite the norm. If you measure the success of the average Apache project, I'm certain it is vastly higher than any comparable organization, although I'm not sure who you could compare Apache to.. GNU?
On the one hand, I'm an organ donor and think it's a good idea. Once I'm dead, you can have what's left over.

On the other, a person's body is the one thing you can't take from them (without this being a Cronenberg movie). I know they can still opt out, but having the default be to take somebody's body when they die seems wrong to me.

Why not have an awareness campaign, or offer some kind of small tax incentive to organ donors?

Are you using an older model that hasn't been cleaned in a while? I use an early 2013 15" MBP and the only time I ever hear the fans is when I'm doing compilation with 8 threads (100% CPU usage on all four cores).
My fan rarely turns on, and it is barely audible.

It seems the tolerance is far beyond leg-scalding for my MBP, though it only gets to that point when recompiling a bunch of version specific libraries in a sandbox for over 10 minutes.
Just saying, "Collaborating" was a very poor choice of words.
> Posts that call for illegal actions (such as stabbing civilians) should be removed

What about a post that calls for women to vote? Or for black people to sit in the front of the bus?

That sounds like a recipe for abuse. It would be more reasonable to only ban enticing violence, for example.
I'm sorry I don't know what you're talking about any more.

You seem to be trying to say that the use of hunches and soft knowledge to form the basis of inquiry and test somehow contradicts or weakens the idea that the world around us can be best understood by the scientific method.

"Hypothesis" is not knowledge, nor are such generated by magic, and they only become knowledge when tested (or contradicted).

As for the last bit, sorry you've degenerated into talking nonsense.

Because including that detail might deflate article hype?

Either of which is beyond annoying.

Once in a while, I'll seek out a few Listicles with ad blocking off to see just what the state of the art of agressively deceptive advertisements is.
My "attitude" was to politely ask you what you considered to be appropriate, without stating any position myself. Perhaps you misconstrued my words. But I'm not interested in continuing a discussion that's become this heated.
A process is an object. It accepts messages and sends messages. It encapsulates state.

Trust.

Performing the exact opposite of the stated and expected purpose of the application, for money, is a violation of trust. There is an implied belief that a product should do what it claims (and its name clearly states a purpose -- ad BLOCK), and the plain English reading of the title makes that pretty clear.

Imagine a virus scanner that only blocked those viruses that didn't pay up.

I paid about the same and was happy with the results.

One more note for people considering 99designs. You can increase your award even after you start the project. Meaning, you can try out the Bronze level design for $299 and hope to get lucky but then raise your prices when you see the generic designs flow in.

When I say generic designs, I mean the designer will take what is essentially clip art and change some curves, colors, and lines to give you a "custom" logo.

Again, that might be good for what you're looking for but at least now you have your expectations set properly.
Keep in mind that theorem proving was one of the very first applications of AI (e.g. Newell and Simon's "Logic Theorist" in the 1950s), so I would take any excitement with as much salt as any other AI claim ;)

There are a few hurdles to overcome before computer/AI-assisted mathematics really 'takes off', for example:

Almost all mathematics is aimed at a human reader; arguments are written in prose, and formula markup only exists to guide the appearance when rendered, i.e. LaTeX; just like HTML, it's technically all marked up and machine readable, but the semantic information we can extract is very low.

Whilst OCR, etc. will keep progressing, I think the real solution is to have people (or their tools) place semantics first and rendering second, e.g. with formats like OpenMath; to do this, we need to provide compelling reasons, e.g. automated assistance, inclusion in repositories, automated citations for those who use your results, etc.

Another problem is that there are many incompatible systems; if some result is formalised in a different system to the one you're using, your best option is to either switch system or attempt to re-prove it yourself. There are ongoing efforts to provide a more abstract overlay, so that results from one system can be re-used in another (providing their logics are somehow compatible), e.g. https://kwarc.info/projects

Another is how low-level automated reasoning currently is; even something which looks like a pretty clear instruction, like a step which says "by induction", involves such a huge search space that existing algorithms blow up. Working mathematicians, quite rightly, get fed up of the tedium of spelling out each individual step in such excruciating detail. It's just like with software, but imagine that you've spent your career working with a super fast Prolog system with a well-organised standard library built up over a thousand years, and you're then asked to program machine code by flipping switches on a slow machine with no existing software ;)
We are currently on Github and are using CoreOS' Quay.io private Docker registry with Github hooks for automated build creation. Total cost: $50/month for Github for private repos, and $100/month for CoreOS' managed service that includes Quay.io.

Years ago, I did set up our own private Docker registry and build server, but it was a lot of work to setup and maintain, so I killed it. Hopefully and probably, that's become easier to do today.

However, last night, I decided that I had had enough with our current setup (it's slow, expensive, and cumbersome), and moved to GitLab. Here were the steps:

1. Create an account.

2. Create a repository, and select the option to import from Github.

3. Connect my Github account, and import all of our private repositories.

4. Ensure Container Registry was enabled for the repositories.

5. Create a .gitlab-ci.yaml file in each repository to build our Docker images. (https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/docker/using_docker_build.html)

6. Decide that I didn't want to use the Shared Runners.

7. Spin up an EC2 Ubuntu instance, install GitLab's multi-runner. (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner/blob/ma...)

8. Add the new runner to each repo.

9. Start a build to ensure Docker image gets built.

In less than 10 steps, I was able to migrate all of our code and CI to GitLab, in less than 2 hours. With the repository mirroring, Github can remain synced to GitLab, so that I have time to modify our deployment scripts to use the GitLab URLs instead. I'll be cancelling our GitHub and CoreOS subscriptions this week.

As our team grows, we will likely host GitLab on our own servers, and I expect that will go smoothly. I'll be happy to pay them at that time. Right now, I'm really happy with this migration.
Would noise cancelling(ANC) help in this case, even if the mic and fan are near each other?

Just tried to set up the 2 factor authentication. Easy. But, would it be possible to provide a phone number fallback? The set of printed codes is nice, but the chances of losing them are far higher than losing your phone or having to deal with a corrupt authenticator app.
Which seems to be an overstated trend according to a number of fivethiryeight pieces: http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/think-millennials-prefer-...

Other pieces I've read suggest the actual trend is more along the lines of college-educated millenials are somewhat trending toward a handful of particularly dense and favored urban neighborhoods in the US (SF, Manhattan/Brooklyn, Boston/Cambridge, Austin). What broader urbanization trends there are also include places like DFW, Phoenix, etc. that aren't really walkable or have good public transit.
If that's happening, I doubt it's uBlock.
No doubt! Yup, I've done the oven thing, too (several PS3 motherboards as well -- used to buy 'em broken on Craigslist when there was a chance they'd be running older firmware and resell them).

Trick with the freezer hard drive: if you ever order perishable items over the internet, they sometimes ship in boxes with large bags of "blue goo". Pop those in the fridge and the next time you need to keep a drive spinning long enough to get one last copy out of it, sandwich it between two of those. They don't get cold enough to pick up condensation and short the drive and the blue goo keeps cool for a long time if the bags are large enough.

I'm pretty sure Trump has said he is under audit and will release his tax returns once the audit is finished. What surprises me is that his audit hasn't been fast tracked in order to hold him to that commitment. I don't think doing that would even qualify as dirty pool in this case. It would just be facilitating transparency about something some of the electorate has questions about.

*edit: I'm getting a lot of replies saying there's nothing keeping him from releasing his returns while being audited. I'm well aware, but as has been pointed out by talmand, having the IRS sign off on his audit helps shore up his defense if anything in there looks questionable to people. Also, he obviously doesn't see any reason to give people potential ammunition. He stands to gain almost nothing from releasing his tax returns. Even if they're flawless and he's paying 60% tax (we obviously know that isn't the case), at best people would shrug and move on. At worst, they would find something to hammer him on, whether valid or not, and the audit would still be pending, giving him little defense to the accusations.
I don't know. I think the feeling of getting it cheaper if you jump on early outweighs it.
I find that it goes very well with script blocker and ghostery; that handles most combinations of advertising, trackers, so on. You can add privacy guard if you feel like it as well, but I haven't' tried that and can't speak for it.
You have a very distorted view of the American system of taxes and the American systems of wealth redistribution. It appears you've learned most of it from popular culture.
I used to think that a collection of standalone tools was better and that we should focus on code hosting and review. When Dmitriy started with GitLab CI I was dismissive but of course as the author he could do as he pleased. It turned out that having a CI tool that closely works together with the main product was a better experience, especially behind the firewall/single-tenant/on-premises.

Then Dmitriy and Kamil (our CI lead) proposed integrating the CI coordinated into GitLab the main program instead of a standalone Ruby on Rails app. Again I was sceptical. But this has been a great success.

We have all the API's (webhooks, commit status API, etc.) to integrate well with Jenkins (and we'll make sure that we'll always play well with that, JIRA, Slack, and others). But having everything in one interface and one datastore makes for a much better user experience.

We've since doubled-down on this strategy. Bringing the entire software development lifecycle under one roof https://about.gitlab.com/direction/#scope During the webinar we'll show a demo video of how these components will soon work together. We think it is an amazing experience and everyone on our team is focussed to get it right.

You mean the "legal process" that other whistleblowers have come forward and said is useless and more interested in shooting messengers than righting wrongs?[1]

You mean the adversary state that is the only thing keeping Snowden from rotting in a military prison to never see the light of day again? How do you think that would have played out had he went somewhere "friendly" to the USA?

The "damage" that was done to the "national security" of the united states is more damage to the pride of those caught in illegal behavior than bona fide harm to America. It was a revealing to people that their government has been lying to them, loudly and repeatedly, something which is strictly positive.
