Sure, but that has not much to do with the display resolution but more to do with the rendering resolution. It is the case that usually these are the same but it is not a requirement.

Note that these games look much more human than the ones dfan was describing. There are surprising ideas, but they are still much more normal.
This is commonly what advertisers want to see but it probably shouldn't matter how many people see it or click on it. All that should matter is how many of the people who clicked on it took action on your website (email signups, orders, etc).

If all advertisers looked at those metrics instead of tracking everyone on other sites they would probably have more effective advertising.
Everyone here is commenting on the Roth income limits. Look up what a backdoor Roth contribution is. Basically avoid having a tIRA by keeping all your pre-tax money in a 401k and then you can contribute to a Roth IRA every year. The only problem with this is if your 401k has horrible funds. I'm luckily in that my company recently added Vanguard funds to our 401k funds and I switched nearly all of my money to those.
mirroring what the other person said, its more useful for anything which isn't video

A good example to consider is mobile phones and how sharp and precise the UI can be, with lines almost at hair thickness. Anti-aliasing is almost useless on phones already, and its all due to their pixel densities.

(of course, not so useful for 60" screens!)
You don't say. Right now I'm trying to buy a new cable to charge my XPS 15, I already bought 2 not working.
I don't hold any bad feelings towards Google for banning AdNauseam. What I do hold against them is that they are not being open and transparent with their reasons.
> Experimental Cancer Treatment That Terminates Rogue Cells Could Arrive in 2017

So, this gives cancer to members of terrorist cells? Or is that just a book somebody should write?
Well the Glimmer 2.0 effort started around the same time Ember 2.0 shipped (Aug 2015). That was 16 months ago, Glimmer 2.0 shipped about 2 months ago, ergo 14 months. I agree that it wasn't under development the entire time, but it was a blocker for many other features the entire time.

Basically when 2.0 landed, routable components couldn't be worked on until glimmer components were completed. Angle brackets, Improved Pods, etc, same.

So even if it wasn't under dev that whole time, it held back other features that would have really improved Ember.
The reason why this doesn't work is that we have to pay for the services that help all of society. Fireman, police, roads, electricity, making sure that the food we eat is basically healthy. You could argue that "you" are a special person who will never rely on society for anything. You'll make your own clothes, fight your own wars or whatever. But we are all related.
This analogy is still a stretch. Both are examples of DDOS which prevents legitimate requests from going through.

This is more the equivalent of replying to every piece of physical junk mail that you get using their provided self-stamped return envelopes. I think you'd be hard to pressed to argue that, while being a jerk move, you're still aren't entitled to do it.
That is an excellent question and gets to the heart of the matter in my opinion. Would someone already employed in your organization be hirable again if they were not already in there? If they have plateaued internally, should the employee be replaced with someone who has not plateaued yet?
Yes. The intent is what's important to me. If it were an extension, like in the 90's when everyone was on dial-up, that pre-loaded links, and some of those links happened to be ads then that's one thing. The goal of that extension is to load pages faster since they've already been downloaded. That's not fraud. This extension clearly understands that links are ads and that clicking them will cost the advertiser money with no benefit to them. And then clicks them. That's what makes it fraud.
Aren't languages really special, though? I remember reading one's ability to learn even new sounds almost vanishes, which explains many people's accents, and which means it's more like a separate process in the brain. Coding, on the other hand, is a general, abstract skill. So I'd expect ability to learn coding to drop off at roughly the same rate as everything else with age. I think it's one of those things where there is a small negative effect, but it's so small that even if you knew about it, you'd still have many much more important things to think about and so you'd be right to ignore it.
r/news comments i avoid like the plague. i have that sub blocked on my front page (along with r/politics and "popular" candidate subs including but not limited to the bern, hillary, and trump). life's too short for any of that shit.
C-python runs on a bytecode interpreter, so theoretically you could port the VM to webassembly, provided you remove features that depend on a native operating system. More bare-bones interpreters like Lua (http://daurnimator.github.io/lua.vm.js/repl.html) and Chibi-scheme (https://chibi-scheme.appspot.com/) which have had their C compilers and vms ported to emscripten can run natively on the web. JIT interpreters like Juajit, Java Hotspot, and pypy, cannot easily run on webassembly or asm.js due to their dependency on native chipsets with self-modifying code support. Also, most of the tooling for wasm and asm.js relies on llvm, so a good amount of work would be required for compiled languages that don't have compilers emmitting llvm bytecode
Right now I do limited IP rotation (once per day) so if you need proxies you'd need to use an external proxy provider (you can specify the procxy to use via the PhantomJsCloud api)

I'm toying with some built-in proxy options, but nothing public at the moment. As mentioned, Crawlera is pretty nifty, but unfortunately it doesn't work with PhantomJs on HTTPS sites.
C itself isn't that close. Vendor extensions and relying on the compiler to pattern match certain code are needed to get access to actual hardware features, like, for instance, rotating the bits of an integer, vector instructions and efficient integer overflow detection.
The point of my post is that you are buying shares of something, and that crashes and downturns don't permanently harm your 401k. Also, crashes when you are young are good because you get to buy cheap shares.

I could have gone into more detail, as you have done here, but that's not the point. The point is that downturns like the Great Recession do not permanently harm someone's retirement.
I wonder which causes more pain for consumers: new cables with new connectors (USB-C) or new cables with backward compatible connectors (HDMI 2.1).

While the former definitely makes consumers unhappy in the short term, it seems like in the long term the latter's confusion around what cable you have vs what cable you need is worse.
This person for the reason of being famous can afford to run their own personal website based on a sponsorship model.

Though I find it hilarious that some people are even OK with paying him anything to begin with as the cost of running such a side project with the salary and benefits of a "Microsoft Regional Director", which has to be plenty, is pretty much coffee-to-go-like small change. Looks pretty greedy to me.
It seems to me the opposite, he already has more money than he can ever spent, now he wants power.
My grandpa is 96 years old and never owned a car. He rides his bike a few miles almost daily. His diet includes a lot of pork, some fish, veggies, and a crazy amount of bread. He has been lean all his life. He worked hard in the farm, most of his food was from it. So no proceeded food, a lot of physical activities and low stress. Genetics may have something to do with it, my ancestors old passed away around 100 years of age, but the lifestyle is a major factor.
I know next to nothing about this but my buddy is big into Bitcoin. He runs a lot of ASIC machines for bitcoin, but he says there are a lot of reasons to dislike the ASIC compatible algorithms. He's experimenting with switching to GPUs, iirc he's mining Ethereum with them at the moment.

I can't go into much detail as it's not my knowledge obviously, but i can say that GPUs are viable/required for some of the coins out there. Based on his word, at least.
Shitty metaphors are shitty. It doesn't detract from my point. I'd avoid using Google if I could, but they seem dedicated to interacting with me even when I go out of my way to avoid them. I'm not going to accept that I'm the bad guy when I try to fight back.
I'll refer to my recent comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13267536

It's not quite single person, I have two remote virtual assistants handling various tasks like ordering, sourcing, etc, but you only really need that above a certain scale.

Most of the business currently is drop shipping from US retailers to Amazon and eBay. I got started reselling a year ago with a specific stacking deal (discover had 10% cashback on Apple pay purchases for a few months, staples had ipads on sale, I bought around 25k worth, broke even on the ipads, made money on the cashback). Then I started reading everything I could about reselling, followed lots of blogs, tried different things, eventually found some great items and models that worked.
"A business is just a business and will get rid of you as soon as it can, so you do the same."

I agree wholeheartedly. even nonprofits, etc., tend to be helmed by folks that think purely in terms of financial statements, etc.

in their eyes, you are nothing more than a line item on a spreadsheet. everyone above you on an orgchart effectively has the power to have you ousted. you, of course, have no such reciprocal power over them.

one key takeaway from this observation: don't live paycheck to paycheck -- it's tempting to buy nice stuff with all this money you're suddenly earning... but don't do it. get serious about your finances now. first priority is to save up buffer funds (six months minimum). don't let their power to fire you turn into the power to seriously wreck your life. be proactive in taking care of yourself, you family, and your career.

and as has been said elsewhere, plan to make a jump to a new firm every 2 to 4 years or so, that's the best way to build up your earning potential.

do i sound cynical? hope for the best but plan for the worst.
When I was an undergraduate, my major professor said that the average man dies at 22 and is buried at 65. Congratulations on never stopping to learn.

From the whitepaper:

>A powerful attacker could potentially fabricate an additional block solely for a targeted user. Spending any coins with respect to the updated Merkle tree in this “poison-pill” block will uniquely identify the targeted user.

If ZCash works with that person or organization, then they're able to deanonymize the inputs on the transaction. As a privately owned U.S. company they can be compelled to do this with authorities.

For most people this doesn't matter, but for the type of user that bitcoin attracts, I think they would care, which is why I think Monero is probably better for them.
>1. SAAS Freemium: It's free to write on Medium, but if you want a real domain and a few more features pay $10/mo

I think this is a fantastic idea. It has worked on many other platforms such as shared hosting before.

>2. Patreon-ish: Direct monthly sponsorship (subscription) to individual authors

This is also a great model because it allows readers to pay for content that they consider worth while. It has the capability to increase overall content quality, become a platform for new writers, and medium could scrape some small amount of dough off the top for the service they are providing.

>3. Fractional Payment: Overall subscription to Medium as a service payed by readers. Authors are paid according to a formula for how many people viewed their content each month.

I don't think this is a great idea to be honest. This is essentially how click farms already work and has lead to the uprise in clickbait. I see this as the primary reason why sites like Buzzfeed exist.

It's true that many tech workers are eventually affected by the contribution limit, but my understanding is that it's essentially always smart to contribute to tax-advantaged accounts while possible.

I'd say bigger and more frequent. I've never had a problem that went unsolved because the developers didn't have a reasonable tech solution. I have had things fail because developers don't grok the spec/requirements/domain.

I'd rank technical challenges well behind culture and domain understanding as reasons software projects fail
Surely he's smart enough not to get into politics. I fail to see the upside for anyone at his wealth/power level.
I am not the author, but I'm in the exact same situation (except I'm 37). And I am following the javascript path. It seems employable, interesting and, not hard.

I know it is a bet, I'm betting in React and if in two years it is old news, I will have to move on. But until then, I am employable.

I am very early in my learning path (started from scracth last November), but I have a very clear impression that it is easier to learn Javascript than any of the languages you mentioned.

Would you care to elaborate more your point? It would help me a lot.

thanks!
Couldn't there be a passthrough? I guess that means making the key a two port hub (one internal for the key itself, one external for connection additional devices).

It's way to big. This company could be run successfully with ~30-40 people.
I've seen that happen, too. A place has realistic, sane management... until it doesn't.

If you are at a place with sane management, though, don't be in a great hurry to leave...
I'm reminded of the film "October Sky" where Jake Gyllenhaal's character (and I feel like a terrible nerd for not recalling the character, who is (was?) an actual NASA engineer, iirc), upon witnessing Sputnik-1 on a clear night, became obsessed with space flight and rocketry in particular. Got himself a bunch of really advanced texts on the subject and just powered through them, lazily learning the necessary math as needed, as you suggest. Once a poor student (bit of a slacker), he went on to make himself some rockets in relatively short order.

Excellent flick. If you haven't seen it, I recommend giving it a watch.
This has happened every time Bitcoin has had a significant uptick, and these same people patted themselves on the back as it rode its way back down. But in the meantime, if they had bought while it was low and sold on each of the upticks, they probably would have made plenty of money by now. But since they aren't willing to get in on that even a little bit, they'll just hate on everyone else to make them feel better.

This is how people react to anything that finds success that they aren't also involved in, really. This is the best video I could find (quickly) that explains the effect, although it's mostly stating it in the form of health: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOJJzeA70U4
Why 2017 Will Prove 'Blockchain' Was a Bad Idea
It accurately represents the target audience's view of software: complex, terse 'code' that wizards understand.

It reminds me of when I was reading The Time Traveller's Wife and got to the part where the main character's friend hosted an exhibit of her art, which consisted of paintings of "the HTML source code of computer viruses". I nearly threw the book across the room. But I'm not the target audience. :-)
I recently obtained a PS4 Pro which outputs up to 4K on supported games (of which there are very few currently). Even on the games that support >1080p but less than 4K, I notice an incredible difference in quality despite the 50" TV screen being 5 feet away. (Final Fantasy XV is very pretty on a Pro)
That's an accounting detail.
Don't worry manojlds, I'm sure the Pluto people will back you up and demote Australia.

I often wonder if it will matter in a couple of years. If we actually get to the point where walls are displays, then I would expect most schools will have a globe projected on the wall instead of a map. How long until we start with 3D animations instead of 2D drawings?

It's been a great project and was unbelievably useful to go through the challenge of really getting how marketing works. It's astonishing how you can build software for companies for years, but making that first $5/month subscription revenue feels so awesome.

Almost all my traffic is organic, then viral from the initial person that signs up. SEO is amazing. A slow slow trickle but over time it really works. I would reiterate what everybody else says. I've spent 70% of time on marketing. 30 on coding. The nice thing about organic is that you can ignore it for months though and jump back in anytime with a good blog post.
Except power in US politics is fleeting. 8 years. That's the most you can be at the "top." Maybe being a long standing senator is better - even then though, it's a fight every 6 years.

You can however influence successive political parties around the world if you have a big enough company.
Simplified Chinese isn't really any easier to read than Traditional (actually, learning Chinese I find Traditional characters a tad bit easier¹). It's just easier to write by hand. With computers and IMEs I would say there's not much difference in ease of reading or writing.

Definitely irrelevant. But still definitely annoying. Cheer up, though, sometimes the code is from the WordPress core!
Who do you use for virtual assistants?
Most places do "look-a-like" audiences. So you can upload a csv of data about your customers (name, email, phone, etc) and they will match those customers to profiles and build an audience based off of that. Facebook is obviously super good at that.

Other times you don't upload anything and just place a pixel. Then as conversions come through the audience builds and gets better.
I think "indiscriminately bombard ad networks with the intent of sabotaging the ad network's business" is a lot closer to my DDoS example (or smashing up a store) than "if a product proves to be disappointing, exercise my statutory right to a refund and/or tell people about it". I'd also feel Google could and probably should remove browser extensions whose distinctive feature was that they automated the process of submitting fake reviews or purchases/cancellations if they stumbled across a class of product the plugin designer disapproved of enough to want to harm the vendors' ability to continue selling it.

Your ideas aren't even mutually exclusive! They could have multiple tiers of membership: a lurker who pays to read ad-free, a promoter who drives traffic and provides good feedback for free, or a quality publisher who actually gets paid to write.

I'd really love to see Medium develop into a marketplace for content, driven by membership AND ad revenue.
It's a pay-go system, it works that way by design
You could implement it as an API call. The site could fetch the current "sponsored by X" line and render it directly in the HTML it serves.
If the employer does any matching at all, a 401(k) is a no brainer in most cases.

Specifically, the day job shouldn't be too enjoyable if you're making money from it. Once it is, you should start doing it for free and find a job you find less enjoyable.

These are crypto hardened chips with obfuscated ASIC layouts and other details to prevent things like power line attacks and decapping. These aren't quite your run of the mill commodity chips.

Furthermore, Yubico stands behind their product. When someone hacked the key with a power line analysis attack, they released updated firmware [1]. When someone hacked the OpenPGP applet that I use for SSH, they replaced my Yubikey Neo in a hassle free manner [2].

Payment systems aren't successful by failing transactions. That's definitively not working, no matter how you spin it.

The end result of not accepting BIP is failing transactions. We know this, because it even happened to NPR. Who are you really trying to convince here?

You're also confusing asset value with success for a currency, even as we're entering a Bitcoin bubble from the Yuan crash. Show me a successful developed currency that has the same volatility of bitcoin.

Unfortunately, I can't find a way to break text strings onto multiple lines in ladder diagrams. Does anyone know how?

One of the examples shows <br/> tags within a Note. The <br/> is stripped out and the text is wrapped onto multiple lines within the note box, but the wrapping is completely independent of the <br/> tags.

...and this doesn't work for text on ladder diagram arrows. I find this very useful to add additional information, e.g. "POST /echo" above the arrow and the POST body below the arrow.
