An academic friend of mine is pushing to publish a paper on this soon. It seems credible as a way to slow global warming, but there will be side effects (as there has to be with such significant modification of our environment) that are hard to predict, and probably some of those side effects could be harmful. The question is which path is the less harmful, and whether we have to risk unpredictable side effects (could be minor or large) in order to avoid global warming.
Open an investment account in the USA - it's fairly straightforward. I don't know your tax system in france, but you can invest in the US as an individual or an entity, probably worth talking w/ a tax attorney about how to do it - it's certainly done by others.
I think it would be pretty hard to argue that you serve a "unified offer" (at the moment at least). The user requests the content without any promise of downloading and rendering all of the content linked, and the server happily serves the content. The fact that almost all web browsers by default (rather naively) obeys every instruction from the web server doesn't imply that the user actually agrees to render (and get tracked by) everything linked.
But the fourth amendment states that heroin usage is legal and a constitutional right. Imagine a oligarchical dictatorship taking over in washington, turning america into a environmental wasteland, trying to take away your syringe.
Then what do you do ?
You got robots in the streets, taking your jobs, without you having a way to defend yourself by taking the edge off. No way to choose anymore. Because that's what pro-heroin or against heroin boil down to. Not being able to choose, after you chose wrong once.
Choose Life.
Choose a job.
Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

And no- heroin is not funny. Not once. But neither is living in a society that tells you that you got all the chances, and you are a loser if you dont take them, and then there are no chances.
Correct—I meant Positive Punishment (which is hard to remember, since it's decidedly not positive in the obvious sense).
The sentiment of this comment is correct. Free software should be an integrated part of a wider movement for emancipation, and only harms itself by being so pedantic and hermetic. However, I don't really have a problem with insisting on the name GNU/Linux, and that's why I didn't even mention it in particular: I believe it's simply a matter of being fair and technically precise.
Is there any software which actually renders that? Will browsers do it?

The Wikipedia page just uses images for the characters, I can't seem to find any actual example.
I was initially confused about why a Drupal shop would need either Vue.js or React, since Drupal sites are most typically blog like things.

> The insistence that Linux be called GNU/Linux when even Linus calls it Linux is exactly the kind of behaviour that alienates people who would otherwise align with them.

I don't agree with this actually, that's why I didn't even mention this. I believe GNU was indispensable to the wider Linux phenomenon. It's a matter of being fair and technically precise.
One of the keys to B2B sales is considering the economics of risk.

From a business standpoint, I'd be concerned about taking a dependency on a web service with the business model I see here. Free for open-source means it will be harder for the company to make money and the harder it is for the company to make money the more likely it is to disappear. If the company disappears, a business taking a dependency on the service is in worse shape than if it bets on a slightly more difficult to implement alternative.

In addition, a large number of non-paying users creates a support load that requires resources that could be used to develop a paying customer base. This also makes it somewhat less likely that the business will be sustainable.

Good luck.

Venture Capital: how to innovate?
Connecting startups to VCs, to young professionals is not an easy task.
Actually I don't think any particular endeavor has been done to help talented people break into that exclusive VC world where about no job offer is ever made publicly open.
Setting up networking "events" has, to date, always addressed that particular point of a "startup" perspective, where select entrepreneurs would perform perfectly articulated elevator pitches during traditional Demo Days.
But what about the hiring, talent scouting, perspective? You are a student, living for passion for the Tech world, and contemplating to join a VC firm as an investment analyst/associate. You ve probably more chance to win your hometown lottery than landing a VC investment team-member job.
This is why UPComingVC is living for. It is a 2-day event simulating the traditional VC investment process, where young professionals/students, willing to test their due diligence skills and connect with VCs as potential employers, incarnate venture capitalists, negotiate with real startups termsheets, invest fake $, as part of a hypothetical fundraising round. For those real startups, it’s also a beautiful life-size test where they get to train themselves to the demanding fundraising exercise, while building connections with real VCs. In fact, throughout the event, a jury of real VCs mentors and gives tips to students and startups on how to show data, articulate metrics and negotiate investment terms.
At the end of the event, all the young challengers, in team, present to the VC jury their final terms, in which startups they invest, based on what vision, strategy and at what valuation.
That innovative event aims at deepening the links between VCs, startups and young professionals, without making the choice to favor one role over the others.
Geneva, Switzerland, Feb 2&3,2017 @ Fintech Fusion, Switzerland's largest fintech accelerator. Applications are open for startups, VCs and young professionals.

Yes, you are right, game maybe used to teach child to lose. And of course should be used in such manner.

But I meant something different. Learning how to play particular game is a small step to aquiring general learning skills. How to learn is a great problem, and many do not know efficient ways to learn something. But its very important not only to move forward after a failure, but to become smarter and increase chances of making successful decisions on the next occasion to win.
If you must, I think it is more about the underlying cause versus the immediate cause.

> and that 10% helps develop the program

Develop in what sense? uBlock origin is at least 10% better than ABP just by not doing that.

The _only_ thing people want from such a program is to block all ads and trackers. That's it. That's the feature list. You decide to compromise the single goal to fund further "development"? How does that make any sense?
Just to get this straight: Do you still need to host with lastbackend or will it be possible to provision some servers with aws, or bare metal with Hetzner and use this opensource tool to somehow manage kubernetes on top?

Also a great point. In my mind, Steve Jobs was a genius marketer AND a genius product person.

His keynote speeches "One More Thing..." were the pure essence of great showmanship.

An amazingly designed and engineered product, marketed brilliantly is the platonic idea. To be "insanely great," you usually need both.
Think about it like a supercharger on a car. They consume power to do their job, but they gain you more than they consume so the net result is more power delivered to the crankshaft.

A Top Fuel dragster's supercharger takes around 600 horsepower to drive at full bore, but that enables an engine that's loosely derived from (read: shares core dimensions with) a ~350HP production car to produce more power than a freight train.

Sometimes you've got to spend power to make power.

Literally every piece of complicated software is developed via tickets/cases/what ever you call them these days.

It's the thing that people naturally graitate towards.

You can assign code to them, create releases using them, assign automatic and manual tests to them/ do code reviews against them, define software in small chunks.

There arn't many systems that allow you do all that.
Why would you slavishly try to stick to a functional approach when making device drivers in Lisp (or anything else).

I have too been influenced by Stallman but I don't see why anyone should be above critique. I've developed as a person, politically, and think that my criticism may be useful to well-intentioned peopled, that's why I wrote this.

> However, it does not follow that living in an ethical manner is pointless.

I fully disagree. Personal ethics is only important with interpersonal relationships. Anything political transcends the individual and his actions and requires systemic analysis and action. That is the point of the article.
Show HN: Hiring local developers
Sure, they can detect ad blockers and present a nag screen. The ad blocker can respond by defeating their detection feature. For example, it can delete the detection function before it even executes. They could circumvent that; ad blockers could nullify their fix; they could fix it again... This could go on forever.

In my experience as an user, no website has ever beaten an ad blocker. It's like trying to secure a computer against an adversary with full physical access. The content has left the server and is on the user's machine. Nothing can stop a sufficiently determined user from consuming it, with or without ads.

I answered a question on User Experience.SE about this:

http://ux.stackexchange.com/a/96907/3437

I tried to express just how big the power disparity between the developer and the user is. Looking back now, I think I came off as too extreme.

I think the other answers are excellent; they address the UX aspects in a way I wasn't able to. Definitely learned from them.

I switched to Jekyll about 6 years ago.

If your site has a lot of content, you'll have to use a few tricks to retain fast builds [1].

Windows 10 has a task scheduler (http://superuser.com/questions/982419/setting-a-scheduled-ta...), so that part is easily done. You can also use the command-line print command to print text (http://superuser.com/questions/477895/printing-from-windows-...)

You probably want to print color. For that, using the /p switch with write.exe to print to the default printer may be an option (https://www.techwalla.com/articles/wordpad-command-line-opti...)

Having said that: you probably are better off ditching the inkjet and getting a cheap laser printer. Even if this McGyver trick works flawlessly, it still may be more expensive in ink, paper, and electricity costs.

The only thing inkjet are significantly better at than that cheap laser is printing full-color photos, but doing that at a commercial printer gives even better results, so even if you do that, consider whether having an inkjet at home is worth it.

I think a comparison page with other solutions out there would help point out the differences, because most people can't tell what the features are that you're providing and how they compare with the same feature with a different provider. Think a 3 column, 10 row table with the other 2 main competitors.
> The marriage of reason was not, in hindsight, reasonable at all; it was often expedient, narrow-minded, snobbish and exploitative.

Is this actually true? I've heard it repeated over and over again, but is there any real evidence that a larger percentage people in "marriages of reason" felt dissatisfied when compared to marriages today? Considering the 50% divorce rate I'd be extremely surprised if the dissatisfaction rate of matches made in days gone by was much higher.

"The person who is best suited to us is not the person who shares our every taste...but the person who can negotiate differences in taste intelligently"

I do agree with this bit. It's confusing to me that many of the online dating sites are trying to pair people based on how alike they are.

Is there any real research that this is somehow the key to marital bliss? Anecdotal, but most of the long married couples I know aren't very alike, and don't share the same interests...other than things like grandchildren, etc.
Well if you need that then use mp3 tags. I never had that need.
Yeah I think you have the opposite mindset than me. Just letting people do what they want is _not_ fighting for freedom, but fighting for the status quo, because inequality exists. In other words the struggle is real
MITHRIL JS
I've been using Vue.js at work for this kind of thing:
http://reassurez-moi.fr/taux-pret-immobilier

It was as simple as adding Vue.js itself and one JS file for custom code. I tried using Angular but right off the bat, I had to install hundreds of dependencies via NPM.

That's what I like about Vue.js. It's simple to reason about for the kind of use case I linked above.
Sure you can , find | grep.
Unfortunately there is no Ublock Origin for Safari.
It's only impossible in a theoretical way that doesn't really matter. If it really does come to an anti-anti-anti-ad-blocker arms race it seems likely that the advertisers will win. The only reason they don't bother at the moment is that it isn't worth the hassle because not that many people use ad blockers.
You do two word posts, and then accuse other people of not communicating well.
My man, a lot of the pain described in this article can be solved by Mobx: https://stackshare.io/mobx

One of our engineers at StackShare[0] suggested it and it's fantastic.

Mobx is very simple to understand and will make writing a "React" page a real joy again. Redux was way too complicated for what it gave, and just shot term after term after term at me that left me with a headache. I still don't understand Redux proper.

>Why do you have to type so much?

I know! I nope'd away from Redux because of that same reason.

But Mobx clicked for me. And if it clicked for me, it'll click for you.

Basically you have a store and you use that store anywhere in your components to share store state. When you update that store state everywhere else updates as well. Simple.

Another great reason to use React as opposed to alternatives is react-native. A _lot_ of knowledge transfer between the web and mobile with react native. It's pretty insane.

Also, as Steve Blank points out (perhaps a bit too harshly), Tim Cook is a brilliant operator and optimizer, but very far from a visionary or brilliant product/marketing mind. So far, he's taken the foundation that Jobs built and made it sing.

https://steveblank.com/2016/10/24/why-tim-cook-is-steve-ball...

But so far, the products Apple has launched under his leadership haven't actually been all that well conceived.

V1 of the Apple Watch was a confusing mess that didn't have a real, concrete purpose or place in anyone's lives.

With v2, they stepped back and focused a bit (on the active/athletic market), but it's hardly a breakthrough device yet.

Meanwhile, the iPad is (so far) falling far short of its potential to revolutionize computing.

All of this could change. But for me, despite the stock price, the jury on the Era of Cook is still out.
We're in disagreement about the source of the problem. You say it's SV anti-marketing bias. I'd disagree and say the problem is more nuanced than that.

CMOs can expect to make top top money. Most of the big problems that businesses face and that CEO's prioritize have their roots in marketing. In recent years at large enterprises the CMO has begun to challenge the CIO for who runs IT overall.

On the whole though, those marketing staff do a poor job of communicating what they can achieve to the business. Some of this is because they're old school campaign marketers who simply don't understand what is possible. Some of it is because they lack the technical ability to successfully implement cross channel marketing. So they fall back on what they know - which is a slick website and the same tired content marketing tricks everyone else is using.

It isn't Silicon Valley's distrust of marketing that is causing campaigns to be poorly executed - it's that when asked, marketing fails to present a strategic vision for what could be achieved.

It's hard to judge what your framework does - and what you quantify as building the right foundations - as this post is just a laundry list of stuff you don't like.

Ask HN: How to make GitHub profile appeal to employers, and still have a life?
What do you think employers generally want to see in a github profile?

Is it better to have lots of activity, random repos, work in progress, etc? or is a small set of completed, manicured projects (2 to 6 perhaps) more appealing?

this is assuming, to some degree, that i have a life. of what limited free time i have, i can't pour all of it into have a perfect github profile.
"Investment" is not income, passive or otherwise.

Income is step one. Investment of that income is step two.

A "salary" is income that is bound to time worked.

"Passive income" is income that is not bound to time worked.

The key difference between passive income vs investing, is what is being invested. With passive income like salary _time_ is the investment, not money. That's why it's income.

All the comments discussing saving and investment strategies are rather missing the point of the question.
