He mentioned that uBlock can use the same "reasonable" filter list as ABP, it's just better to use uBlock since it's more efficient.

For me, JIRA is addressing a fundamentally difficult problem: how to separate work on a monolith between several people. At some point the separation into tickets, tasks, requirements or whatever one wants to call them is necessary.
Drugs. Deaths from opioid overdoses are up by a factor of 4 in the last fifteen years. That's huge.

Is becoming a druggie a "bad break", though? Losing a job, an injury, or an illness is a true bad break. Becoming a druggie is self-inflicted. Do druggies deserve tax-funded support? With limited resources, shouldn't tax money be spent primarily on people who had a bad break that wasn't their fault? We can usually bring people back from a broken bone or a lost job. Druggies, not so much.

Adblocking has indirectly created many of these fake news sites we see today and will only create a more cluttered and product-filled user experience.

Most news sites rely only on advertising for income. Real reporting and investigation costs money. Since their main money source is now drying up, news is starting to become hearsay, rumors, and things you see on Twitter (anything you can find from the comfort of an office chair). This quickly leads to a race to the most clicks, which may or may not be factual.

We also are now starting to see blogs and many other news sites switch from advertisements on the side or top (which can be blocked) to entirely sponsored articles written around a product or service. We've always had sponsored articles, but not as prevalent as it is now.

Real journalism costs money. When you remove the only way to fund it, we end up with what we have now: fake news passing as real journalism and fake articles which are actually advertisements.
And that is basically the point of that segment of the podcast. The parking company execs invested in the customer support dept and treated them better with with lower calls per day, colorful titles and nice zen rooms. They indicated zero turnover afterwords in that department and probably helped that company retain customers as a result and probably lower costs due to lower retraining. Unfortunately, large companies with monopolies don't need to do that to retain customers as they dont have much of a choice.
> And so JIRA ticketing subtly but powerfully tends to push developers to work on one ticket at a time, instead, which is often both less efficient and more prone to drastic late-in-the-game failure.

Technical debt is measured in net present value.

As a QA engineer myself, it is more valuable to explicitly account for when and why a given software change is made then it is to rush things out, because when a later change inevitably breaks an older one, the engineer can immediately know when and why it happened, and what to fix.

Relying solely on design documents means that if something goes wrong in a sufficiently complex system, it can take a very long time to isolate and fix the issue. (no, TDD does not alleviate this)
And then what?

You remember everything about your life - for what benefit/purpose/reason? Even if we could remember everything we don't have the time, attention, or brainpower to dutifully filter and process three hundred million seconds (~10-20 years) of memories before making a decision, every decision.

You write down all your interesting thoughts and ideas - for who, for what? Other people have already a lifetime of thoughts themselves and more they wish they could think.

Is it almost more interesting to forget, and then you can re-experience things anew and not get bored of 'seen that, done that, been there'?

I wonder if one meaningful way forward is artificial brains/compute engines (probably required to be sentient AI - but maybe not?) which can combine and work on the thoughts and scale of thousands, then millions, of people.

I didn't cover it in the blog post, but the amount of sulfur dioxide needed is less than what we're already emitting into the lower atmosphere.

From Wikipedia[1]:

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency,
the amount of sulfur dioxide released in the U.S. per year was:

Year	SO2
1970	31,161,000 short tons (28.3 Mt)
1980	25,905,000 short tons (23.5 Mt)
1990	23,678,000 short tons (21.5 Mt)
1996	18,859,000 short tons (17.1 Mt)
1997	19,363,000 short tons (17.6 Mt)
1998	19,491,000 short tons (17.7 Mt)
1999	18,867,000 short tons (17.1 Mt)

also[1]:

As of 2006, China was the world's largest sulfur dioxide polluter, with 2005 emissions estimated to be 25,490,000 short tons (23.1 Mt).

Presumably we can reduce sulfur dioxide pollution in the lower atmosphere enough to completely offset any that we're releasing into the stratosphere. Is that better or worse? I don't know. But it would seem like right now the Mountain pine beetle is a much greater threat to trees than acid rain is.

I haven't seen the GNU ecosystem provide anything at all in the web service space. GNU is, for the most part, the same set of applications that it was, say, 10 years ago. (Or at least I perceive it as such.)
You can run Unix processes on Windows 7 and the others with MSYS or Cygwin or on Windows 10 using the Microsoft-provided Linux compatibility layer.

How they reconcile this with the name "AdBlock" I'll never know.
We already have universal health care---we just choose to do it in the most expensive possible way (emergency health care), rather than in a less expensive way (urgent, chronic, terminal). I don't know about the rest; although, the EITC (the closest thing we have to cash welfare for non-family citizens in Texas) was actually a pretty important part of my income for the five years when I lived below and near the poverty line.
I work nearby their Atlanta office, and about a six months ago I received numerous phone calls and emails from an internal recruiter about a Go developer job in that office. Speaking of fad flame-outs, his pitch kept trying to link Yik Yak to Pokemon Go (i.e. "one out of every eight yaks is about Pokemon!"). Uhh, okay?

I never responded... because I heard that they had shot themselves in the foot with recent app changes, and were dying. Obviously, now I'm glad that I made the right call.

I've seen this happen numerous times in my career, though. I just don't understand the sort of denial that keeps companies in "hire mode", even when their internal metrics must make it obvious that things have turned south.

Interestingly you accuse the other side of being unreasonable when you are the one confusing reason and ideology. Good ads are not bothersome or harming you in a significant way. I prefer to see some ads rather than see sites that i benefit from go bankrupt.

Id prefer a tiny payment option - €5- 10 a year would give any news publisher more gain from having me as a user than bombarding me with ads (just the same way it works for Wikipedia) - but that option in most cases doesn't seem to exist. Or the flattr option to directly reward qualitative reporting and recreate good incentives (quality over clickbait).
JIRA is a fantastic tool if management know how to use it, and how to limit themselves. Having used 2 other horrible alternatives I really miss JIRA
I expect it's much the same use case as for asm.js and WebAssembly — just a different solution to the same problem. The intention is probably for it to become an easier way to port software to the web, although it seems like a lot more work will have to be put into it for it to be remotely viable for many programs.
That might be a decent solution, thanks.
Which for any modern device isn't really a big deal...
I could see the example of LaTeX in the browser being actually useful, when for example you're on a computer where you don't have permissions to install software.
Everyone is moving to Jodel
The use case is right there in the text:

> enabling unmodified programs expecting a Unix-like environment to run directly in the browser

The latex example is probably the best example. There are a handful of latex typesetter web pages, but the "quick and dirty" implementation for all of them are something like:

(1) take the input
(2) shell out to run the latex app on a unix box
(3) return the output to the user via the browser

Step (2) requires a complete unix environment. As usage scales, so too does the processing power required. Imagine if that app got 10k requests/second: suddenly you have a farm of "rendering servers" and middleware managing availability, request routing, etc.

This allows you to offload step (2) to the user's browser for a broader range of applications, with easier/faster/less rewriting. While the upfront cost is still more complex if you have to port the app to this js platform, there may be long term savings in simplicity/efficiency from the reduced server requirements. e.g., you could reduce the latex typesetting webapp to static files served from S3.
Another take from a former British diplomat and ambassador (Craig Murray): https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/12/cias-absence...
I don't see a lot on insulating and we are a bit far from the coasts to make availability great. There was a thread a while back where these were discussed.
It's literally in the same sentence you're quoting:

> Per 17 USC 101, the deliverables must fall within one of nine limited categories of works.

Though I'll grant you that 17 USC 101 might not be blatantly obvious, a quick Google search will reveal https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/101 as a source for further information.
Atlassian themselves even has a tool for this: Confluence. Then then integrate with JIRA for individual tickets. https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/develop-technical-docum...
Using <If> combines the worst aspects of custom SGML template markup languages and the complexity of React but with additional runtime overhead.
Because it's a good demonstration of how the Web is advancing by showing that this kind of thing is possible.

It's also a good project to learn about both the web and POSIX. Not that this kind of project is required when applying to job but it would seriously catch my attention when reviewing a candidate for any web or systems job. It's also top of hacker news so it's an excellent way to get your name out there.
How's that? Just use a fake name.
Not sure what I just read, but it was pretty entertaining
From the article:

> I stress that it’s not specifically JIRA itself which is guilty of this. All of the above is implicit in the notion of reducing software architecture and development to a set of “tickets.” JIRA’s great sin is only that of being the most successful and widespread ticketing system. The notion of specifying a software project with a set of tickets is itself the enemy.

Hope that saves ppl from this terrible clickbait
The Blair example in the absence of monarchy is wrong - the person said that because Blair is hated, not because they are a snob.

Agree on the insane lies about their thrift.

Bit of a waste of an article. The author is clearly against the monarchy yet fails to enumerate many points in spite of the length.

What amazes me most is Americans. They profess a love of freedom and equality yet love the royals.
Unfortunately, the bad news hits hardest on those who believed the managements' positive spin. You hope that the leaders were being honest with employees as things began looking worse, so that it wasn't such a surprise.

This is a good perspective. I hadn't thought of it that way --- probably because I was mentally comparing a very large company (Comcast) with a much smaller one (SpotHero). But you are right, in both cases it is decision trickling down from the top that affect the behavior of CSRs and how the company is perceived.
So, how does it actually work? The dedicated section on the page is not very informative.
I don't know if it's the best but Adguard is both free and excellent.
If you were set on doing it, you could compare this list of heavily shorted companies (http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3062-nasdaqshort-hig...) with the rates paid by your broker. if you're using Interactive Brokers, this is listed under "SLB (Stock Loan/Borrow) Rates".

If you own index ETFs then you can loan out those shares. QQQ is on that list and it's a NASDAQ index ETF. If you primarily own indexes though then you don't really own shares in the individual companies comprising that index, so I don't think you have something to loan technically. Like you might sort of own a lot of Apple through an S&P index, but you can't really deliver shares of Apple to a short seller.

Two columns to note in the link above:

* if you look at the "% Float" column in the link above, you can see that TSLA is at 32.0%, meaning that 32% of all TSLA stock is held by people that are shorting it. this calculation is a little more nuanced than this because shorts are only borrowing it and the stock kind of has two owners, but it paints the general picture: 1/3 of Tesla stock holders are there because they hope Tesla stock decreases in value. I think they're dead wrong but that's how markets are made.

* the "days to cover" column means that if all the short sellers tried to close their position (ie, buy stock in the company), how many days would it take that to happen at an average day's volume? this can be an indicator of companies ripe for a short squeeze, where a company announces unexpected good news and shorts rapidly try to close their position but not enough people want to sell and so the stock price skyrockets. This famously happened to Volkswagen: https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-of-the-greatest-short-sq...

be aware of a few things in general:

* these rates are completely out of your hands. GOGO of Gogo inflight Wifi is listed at 43% float and 21 days to cover, but its borrow rates are around 8%. I don't know why.

* in many cases, there is a short argument worth listening to and there's a reason many people are shorting a stock. GoPro/GPRO is currently paying 86% for people to lend out their shares to short sellers. You could buy GoPro and lend out your shares but then you run the risk of owning GoPro and it's a big question mark how big that risk is. I face that same risk in owning Tesla, but I think the short argument is garbage and I really believe in the company and that's enough for me.

* the tesla situation was kind of a perfect storm because it has a lot of fervent believers on both sides. companies that people are really passionate about might be hard to come by.
Your domain lookup doesn't seem to work, unless I'm misunderstanding something. Searching "smart" brings up elegant.com which is certainly taken.

Edit: are you doing a lookup of the raw version instead of the cleaned one?
> I wonder if that even matters. They already know what article I'm reading and possibly what other articles I've read (again assuming logged in / tracking cookies / etc). Should be more than enough.

I agree. I mean, I would react much better to ads relevant to what I'm actually reading just now than to random crap based on stuff pulled out of some tracking database.
What do you mean by "worked"? You do realize EVERY other modern, rich country has these things and is doing just fine?
Previously it was theft. I'd agree that it is theft unless the employees were informed about the situation a la "We cannot pay wages for a while, would you volunteer to still come in?".

Robbery? Now that's a different thing. But theft? Close enough.
They aren't widely deployed yet - the DGX-1 uses it, though.

I assume it will be infiniband that will be the commodity hard adopted to distribute Deep Learning. However, Nvidia are currently trying to segment the market by providing GPU->GPU direct access via infiniband on only the Tesla cards - not the commodity ones (titanx, 1080 gtx). That strategy will probably be the death of them in Deep Learning.

Yes, Grasswire.

Honestly Grasswire is now entirely open sourced/crowdsourced and I haven't touched it in the past ~year or so, so I haven't really been involved in that decision making process and don't have a strong opinion.

I don't really run Grasswire, it's kind of an open collective community, so you can convince people to participate but we can't really "partner" with anyone easily.

The entire company was structured so he had control, forever. The only reason to buy stock is if you think he will continue to print money. I think it is refreshing to have a company built to be able to completely ignore quarterly profits and activist investors fighting for short term gains.
What are you talking about? You can use the software however you wish. Even "in a proprietary environment" (like you can run LibreOffice in Windows).

What you mean is probably copyleft licensing which is only a subset of free software licenses. Copyleft means that you cannot redistribute the software and its derivatives unless you give the freedoms down the road to your clients/users as well.

However, there are free software licenses that aren't copyleft too.

After working with Angular templates for a long time and then switching to JSX, I'm never going back to having my markup in a string blob with magical attributes that make it do stuff.

why would you do this in Angular? i thought the whole point was to use html templates in separate .html files. as for "magical" attributes, angular2 moved away from that and is using mostly native html attributes. i.e. [disabled]="x" [hidden]="x" (click)="myfunc()". Can't imagine it being more intuitive than this.

No, the article doesn't mention ocean acidification. Yes, that's a big deal. I'm personally concerned that it's much more dangerous than sea level rise. However, the article does acknowledge that there are big limits to what stratospheric sulfur injection can do:

Stratospheric sulfur dioxide injection is not a panacea. But what it can do is buy us time. ... It can buy us time to deploy large scale climate engineering projects that do remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere...

I didn't discuss other climate engineering proposals because I was trying to keep the post short.

Supposedly non intrusive ads that are out of your way
This would probably result in less relevant ads and more power of ad providers, ie less neutral reporting. Think about how some companies or political parties 'punish' critical media by pulling ads and advertising with the competition instead. Imagine you little newspaper have a harsh truth to deliver about Nestle or P&G - and you know if you do so a large chunk of your revenue will disappear.

On the other hand this would allow the site to be more picky and set prices - which could really increase overhead.

I love the idea they use eg for wetransfer (a very minimalist file sharing site) - one huge, beautiful ad in the background . I'm sure those aren't cheap, but they are certainly visible and usually quite interesting. Everyone wins. But i doubt that would scale and seems unlikely to suit content-filled sites like news sites

They seem to be allowing capture of UI events on any element that is selectable through their (limited) query interface. This is probably to allow interactive designs or ad-network "auction" tracking, but it's still spyware.
Ad blocking in general is an AI-complete problem, but there are still lots of low-hanging fruits left to be picked - like blocking tags based on class names ("ad", "sponsor.*"), on content (basically spam filtering), etc., all backed by crowdsourced list of per-domain entries.

Various languages can be compiled to JS, e.g. C/C++ using emscripten. This project implemented POSIX/Linux APIs in JS using browser features, so now you can compile applications that depend on those APIs to JS and run them in the browser. At least that's what I got from skimming the paper.

Water flows downhill and market optimizes for profit. If you don't remove ads, the extra money gets pocketed by the companies, but that in no way incentivizes them to do "real journalism". Bullshit has better ROI than truth, and that's why there's so much of it.
And you can be sure they pay a hefty sum for up-to-date anti-blocking software.
> It's not the same. Advertisers can negotiate with AdBlock Plus about what reasonable advertising should be. If we all choose our own block lists there is nobody for them to negotiate with. The war between ad blockers and advertisers continues forever.

We have very different opinions, because I don't see it as a bargaining situation. The reasonable and acceptable level of spam, web advertising, malware, and user tracking is zero. I won't accept any more than that because (very near) zero is easily achieved using the currently available tools.
But you can use a PDF reader that does not support (and thus ignores) scripts. [1] Of course, the publisher could build the script such that it displays the article text only after the ad has been displayed, and we get the next arms race of adblockers and adblocker-blockers.
