I would white list a few sites I regularly visit that don't have; excessive/obtrusive/annoying ads, ad services that track me, or a potential avenue for malware from ads. Problem is, for me, there are almost no sites like this.

Honestly, the ball is in their court. Its the ad industries problem to fix, not ours.

> I've been singing that song for a while... Overzealous adblocking may cost us dearly when it succeeds to cut off all revenue streams for quality content except subscriptions.

I find it hard to believe that a personal blog by a MS MVP, who does a lot of traveling and presenting, drives so much traffic that he can't afford a mid-tier Wordpress instance out of his lunch money, so using his example as one where "the little guy" needs advertising to stay alive is dubious.

I've been saying for a long time now that the kind of clickbait-y, listicle-y, content-free "content" that is supported purely by advertising needs to go away anyhow. The entire "industry" of hiring "writers" to research trending words, and then write 100-word articles to post to aggregator sites so that they move up the search rankings -- purely to drive ad revenue -- needs to die a quick, agonizing death.
Which side of economics, the "freshwater" or "saltwater" side? There isn't the kind of consensus in economics that there is in, say, climate change. And economics is much more susceptible to funding-based distortion.

The problem with using calendars is actually you're pretty flexible about when you want to get most stuff done, you just have a deadline. But you don't want to do it at the last minute, so for a weekend task you want to check in a few times to see if you are not too busy to do it.

http://www.dueapp lets you put a time to be reminded and that has really clear snooze functionality. So I procrastinate a lot (snooze) but I'm always aware of it in case I have a deadline, and I don't have to worry about remember it.

Amusing. I did something similar in 1995. The difference being that I used mail(1). IIRC, it was something like:

How Terrible Code Gets Written by Perfectly Sane People
I'd like to suggest to people like Troy to put some sponsor links/images (with plain non-tracking links) inline in the content. Explain this decision right at the beginning of the articles. As a reader, I will support such move (unless the content creator becomes greedy and starts putting many ads, of course I am not talking about Troy here) and ad blockers mostly cannot do anything to it. It'd be a win-win for both the content creators and the readers.

Ad blockers are here to stay and that's good in general.

This empty snark would make more sense if you weren't commenting on machine learning, where the problem is emergent discrimination unintended by the designers --- in other words, discrimination that isn't chosen.

As it stands, all you've done here is reveal to the thread that you don't understand why discrimination is a concern with machine learning, but you have very strong feelings about it anyways. Congratulations? Good talk?
Parent has a good point - there are very few specializations which cannot be learned with dedication and internet connection. Human interaction/team efforts for example are important, but in almost all cases you are under-trained coming from uni to real world and soon you'll pick it up in real life.

There are bad/mediocre universities/colleges, which don't give you almost nothing on top of what is currently available in few clicks. Most people out there graduate on those. I know, since I am one of them. All useful stuff I know now I learned on my own, either during studies (a bit) or working (most of it).

The only good reason why I don't regret university is campus life - but if you don't have a need for party-style episode in your life and human interaction in that style, then universities/colleges are not the best place to spend 5 of your most creative years. Unless also hunting for future contacts in elite places, but that's another topic.
Generative Deep Neural Networks for Dialogue: A Short Review
Certain magazines (Time, Newsweek, The Atlantic, ...) have journalistic responsibilities. Web sites like troyhunt.com do not. This is the crucial difference.

I don't care that a commercial site is trying to sell me stuff. I do care that journalists -- who serve a crucial political and social function -- are actually peddling widgets for the ACME corporation instead of acting in the public interest.

As such, advertorials are a problem in journalism, but not in commerce (provided they are well-labeled, etc).
> You seem to be trying to promote some kind of objective definition of fair and freedom. I don't think it's possible.

But that only further emphasizes how flawed the use of "fair compensation" by the OP was. Glad to see you are starting to make the same points I was.

> That "freedom" is only rendered possible by suppressing other peoples freedom of joining a union, so no, I don't agree with you.

Why can't you be free to join a union while also allowing the employer the freedom to fire you? This isn't binary.

> I'm not even sure if you're arguing against or for unions anymore.

Deep down, the topic isn't really about unions at all, so I'm not even sure what difference it makes?

Although I did explicitly state that the message was meant to be pro-union, as I figured some overly emotional people would take the opening the wrong way (and still did anyway). I am now left wondering if you actually read the comment at all?

> to say that unions are inherently bad

I don't quite understand where you are even going here? Suppose we did agree on what free and fair mean. Then what? All we can conclude is that unions take away freedoms and fairness. How do you take that and turn it into unions being bad? I don't see the leap you are making here.

More than ad blockers they have become annoyance blockers for me. I'm always adding sidebars and other stuff to either my adblocker, to remove them; or to stylish, which allows you to add CSS to the site, when I just want the annoyance to be less annoying (smaller font, less flashy colors, move aside so the main content can get the main spot in the page).
That would be problematic as there's an obvious value to labeling a piece of content as native advertising.

That's also not what's happening in the present case.

Based on the computing method,the project build an MFC(Microsoft Foundation Classes) project in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Community(usually known as VS 2013).In order to update the state in real time,the project storage bodies state in the structs and then trigger the Timer to call the CDC classes which could draw object on the screen.This project use computing method called All-pairs which is more simple and basic one.The simulating of chaos of the three body movement in classical mechanics showed that the model is reasonable partly.
A Look Back at the Successes and Failures of Uber's First Major Rebrand
It is extremely unlikely that a post-scarcity world will ever occur without, say, a collective global work project. There is no financial incentive for private capital to initiate it. Just like the Internet (in its current form) would have never occurred without government funding.

The technology to bring about a post-scarcity world mostly exists, and we could get there very quickly (maybe 5-10 years). But, how do you convince the upper classes (who control the capital) to support it? How do you temper the common idea that 'the lazy people' will just do nothing all day? (like that's a bad thing)

It's similar, but not quite the same. The above creates an incentive for people to collect bottles, but not an incentive for retailers to encourage bottle returns, which results in experiences for consumers that often makes it seem like it's not worth it. E.g. if you're forced to bring your bottles to a recycling centre instead of to the grocery store you're headed anyway, it's a lot less likely to happen.

Getting the incentives right across the whole chain is important.

E.g. I can't rememember ever seeing an automated bottle return machine like these [1] [2] in a US grocery store. It's been a few years, so it may have gotten more widespread, and I know some states have had return laws that have been more effective, so I'm sure it depends on location. In Norway the norm is for most grocery stores and shopping centres with any stores that sell bottles to have those.

Part of the reason is that in Norway, if people don't return bottles, the cost for retailers and distributors go up (or more precisely, their tax does not go down) by more than the cost of the recycling, so it's not just consumers that are incentivised, but retailers and distributors too, with the result that there's a massive infrastructure targeted at making it easy to return (and as a result one of the largest manufacturers wordwide of automated return solutions is Norwegian as well).

I currently live in the UK, which is much worse than the US when it comes to bottle rturns, and really wish the above solution would become more widespread.

Tracking is the primary reason I use an ad blocker. The ads themselves aren't that obtrusive to me since I won't install Adobe Flash and I use NoScript and Privacy Badger with Firefox. Even using someone else's machine I can tune ads out pretty quickly and focus on the page content.

Troy uses Google Analytics on his site and has no privacy policy which means his site does not comply with the Google Analytics' Terms of Service.[0]

When I queried this on social media, he dismissed it as 'legal arse covering'[1] and indicates to me that while he's undoubtedly a bright and talented guy, he still doesn't 'get it' when it comes to privacy. Not at all.

Not everyone is wearing a tinfoil hat and worried that the big bad NSA is coming to drone them. Many of us are far more more concerned about corporate surveillance and data brokers tracking our online activity.

I yield to no HN commenter in sympathy for the Google security team, as my comment history will surely indicate, but it's possible to take that sympathy too far. Yes, Google's security team has done important things for the privacy of all Internet users. However, for its own users, it has also created the largest subpoenable body of private information in the history of the world.

Google's security team has its hands full just shipping a browser that doesn't unlock the computers of all its users for anyone who can write a heap overflow exploit (which is why you should probably prefer Chrome over other browsers). They are not in fact moving the needle on the problem of protecting their own data from hostile governments.
[Show] Nariko.io – Visual Feedback About Mobile Applications Design and UX
I did do a lot of back and forth testing with Rebirth, and the VST plugin: ABL3 whilst developing this and specifically whilst setting the max values for the cutoff, resonance and env.mod. - The tricky thing is that they all have an affect on each other, the max resonance is lower when the cutoff is lower for example.

Regarding the rotary controls: These work by measuring the distance in pixels from the point you first clicked to the point the mouse have moved to. I only managed to test this on a 3 different computers so I think if you have a really high resolution, the knobs will move too fast. I'll change this at some point to be percentage based instead of pixel based.

I added the right-click to delete as that is how FL-Studio works, which is my favorite daw. Its handy to keep the left click as you can use it to select a note in the drum editor and then set velocity.

100% agree - our data pres people swear by the two column table approach (one column has a few word headlines, second column has a bit more context) over bullets and helps people take in information a lot easier.
My experience from growing up in Norway and living in the UK, is that there's far more littering related to bottles in the UK, where people will throw them all over the place, than in Norway where they almost always get returned.

Why Google analytics isn't filtering out this referral spam?
Nice to see that the debate has reached the ears of the main people working on this field.

What is important to note here is that we need to tweak the mathematical model to the culture we want to achieve. In other words, the objective function of the optimization problem needs not only match the current state of the world, and provide an hindsight in one's own economic interests, it also needs to take into account the culture that we want to reflect, and influence. Otherwise, these statistics are just a giant status quo amplifier.
