Why assume adblockers are bigger than the advertising industry? Adblocking will exist up until it's cheaper for large players to pay money to fix the problem, be that legal costs, development, or ransom to browser providers.

Particularly when the web is getting more and more closed. Sure, adblockers on browsers are becoming more common. But what about web services like snapchat where the information is transferred using an app rather than a browser? Ad blockers can't do shit if sites start to properly hide ads within content. So far they've been relying on large players not trying to, while being able to completely block content from smaller players when they try to play the 'hide the ads' game. Let's see them try that when they're faced with blocking all of facebook/google or not blocking their ads.

Internet advertising will change because of the rising use of adblockers but collapse? I don't see it.
It's unfortunate that this might seem esoteric / insider-baseball to non-academics, but researchers in CS know exactly which are the top conferences. There is actually very little ambiguity.

Looking at the list, the entries for Robotics, NLP, Computer Vision, and ML are accurate, to my knowledge (I would also include UAI/AISTATS, but they were probably omitted because they're closer to mathematics/statistics).

Well, what are you supposed to do when a user who is asking for clarification is really just trolling you?
For starters, I'd love to see online newspapers run ads that behave like print ads. This would mean they show the same ad for everyone (not an ad that the ad network thinks will match your interests,) the ad does not move or play audio, the ad does not track views or clicks, the ad is delivered to you by the same infrastructure that delivers the article (that is, from the same image and JavaScript CDNs, no external resources,) the ads are not overly distracting from the main content and each ad is vetted for misleading and false claims.

These ads would be harder to block, mainly because of the CDN thing, but maybe not as many people would want to go out of their way to block them. readthedocs.io sometimes runs ads that fit this criteria and, at least on my machine, uBlock doesn't block them yet.
>> I am longing for the day that AR technology gets to the stage where lightweight sun-glass frames can have the ability to overlay classical art, or any other texture, over real-world ads in real-time.

Don't hold your breath. The disgusting industry of marketing/advertising will happily pay the AR companies irrefusable sums of cash to have their firmware prevent you from overlaying their ads. Or worse, the ads will be projected directly onto your lenses without even needing to look at the real world. Walled garden AR will win out over any open-source equivalent, as the money involved will monopolize the industry with patented technology. Never underestimate their scummy practices; our obsession with capitalism has made this the status quo even before television ever hit us. Hell, newspapers and public posters were already pulling this crap in the 1800's. This has been our reality since the invention of the word "corporation".

Personally, I wish that any business that must advertise to even be viable should not exist. Unfortunately, every business owner who wants a piece of the pie disagrees and will do everything possible to force themselves onto us. Yes, force - it's tantamount to rape in my opinion. Unsolicited, unwanted, unwarranted, and inescapable - were any "person" to shove themselves at you like companies do, it would be considered rape. For example, "retargeting" is literally stalking you everywhere you go. How it is considered acceptable is beyond me.

For me personally, it's not the malware. It's the "other things you might like" sections with obnoxious pictures and click bait headlines. The jiggling fat belly. The ads that follow me for months after I buy something trying to get me to buy another, especially for things I only need one of and don't expect to buy again.

However, for my family, it is mostly the malware. Especially misleading download button ads. To be fair, I'm not entirely sure it's the ad blocking, but there's been a noticeable drop in tech support calls from my parents since I installed it for them.
Yeah, this is the point that the parent is making.

Basically, you're arguing that access to resources should be predicated upon a) the quantity of labor rather than its value; and b) that access should only last as long as the effort is continually expended (curious re b: how many days can one take off before access to resources is denied? what if I want to take a year off to focus on a business? what if you think my business is a sham and not a legitimate expenditure of effort? are some people entitled to resource access without effort, and if so, which people, and why?).

People who want to leave an inheritance for their kids argue instead that access to resources should be predicated upon a) the value of their contributions rather than the amount of labor; and b) access to any excess resources should persist until they are fully exhausted by the owner's willful use, without regard to the amount of effort involved in earning it.

Only one of these models scales, not just in a free society, but any society.

The perspective that idlers should not get to eat while laborers starve is solid, but the plans that have been proposed to resolve it are impractical. The fact is that to some extent, inequality and unfairness will always be around. That's due to the fundamental functions of the physical world that cause scarcity, not how nice or kind the people who surround you are, so just trying to make better people won't solve the basic problem of inequity (it may, however, prevent class oppression).

In the case of the Chinese that might also have been caused in the past by communists taking over the country and nationalizing everything or by people from up-North invading and making themselves rulers.

The Nazis were, generally speaking, quite friendly towards accumulated wealth (unless you were a Jew, of course), and in case of Britain the last major "all of your accumulated stuff is ours"-thingie happened after the Norman invasion, almost 1,000 years ago.

1. Representational systems

a. Transactional systems [1], based around actions that need to be recorded, typically for commercial or legal reasons, like software used to record your purchases, payments, reservations, participation, interactions, obligations, results, commitments, plans, and significant events.

b. Non-transactional continuous systems, like software controlling an elevator, warehouse conveyor system, or a vehicle engine management system.

True, the Indian media channels show 60% ads and the same recycled "news" for 40% times. At times they show five minute news and 55 minute adverts, I'm serious, I've seen this happen!
I think the fact that people's Patreon income is visible might make it self-balancing.

If you like popular creator, but see that they're already getting quite a bit of money on Patreon, you're less likely to support them than another creator that you only kind of like, but who is currently getting less than you think they deserve. Unless the popular creator can convince you that they can spend the extra money to make their content better, and thus be worth it.

So I think with Patreon, creators' revenues will tend to converge on what people think they're actually worth.
Isn't that the case for anyone? Isn't there always someone out there with a sob story that can top yours?

If we're going to allocate resources based on who has "sacrificed the most" (...for what? and what algorithm should be used to quantify the sacrifice?), it seems that all the resources will ultimately flow down to the most self-sacrificial individuals in the area.

As these people are extremely self-sacrificial (and it will be hard to find such selfless people, because they are unlikely to talk about how selfless they are), they will then spend all of the money immediately, for the good of those around them who need access to more resources. Then we will give them more resources to re-spend, yes? How will the self-sacrificial people manage all of the services and goods they're procuring, or are they so self-sacrificial that they wouldn't ask for an exchange when transferring the resources? Perhaps these people are the new banks, but interest free? If they become interested in saving some resources for themselves, to compensate for their efforts in distributing the resources of the society, are they automatically disqualified from possessing the resources, since someone less selfish now probably exists?

Incidentally, in these types of systems, the parties most deserving of resources have a mysterious tendency to be the people who've set up the economic system and their close associates. Who can argue that the founders of a new fair system of resource allocation are not the most deserving and self-sacrificial? These revolutionaries broke the oppressive chains of the bourgeoisie. They fought, killed, and died, and they watched their family and friends die, for the good of the nation. They beheaded the dirty rich kids who thought they should eat cake while others starved.

Those brave souls, who at least metaphorically did all this for the good of the millions of innocents whom they would never meet, and the sage councils and carefully-chosen successors that protect their legacy, are surely the most self-sacrificial in any society. It is only right that these persons should collect all the resources and wisely distribute them. You would not suggest that your efforts are comparable, and thus deserving of their resources, would you?
Why must the supposed "left" attack people for what they think and say ? And I put left between scare quotes because Trump is the one that was talking to union leaders, putting on rhetoric about jobs, prosperity and economic advancement while Hillary was proudly declaring she was getting paid 5 times my yearly wage for 3 hours of work (20 minutes speech, 160 minutes having lunch) by people who repossessed a number of houses by people I know. By the very institution the left professes to hate.

Why can't the left accept everyone ? Let them talk and engage with them ? It's literally their core value, according to the rhetoric. Yes they're wrong, I get that. That should mean we have nothing to fear.

Instead we see violence, and even your reply is nothing more than a threat. People like you are giving me serious pause about being a democrat. I mean, I forgot to vote. But still.

My entire career at this point was jump-started by udacity web dev course. Prior to that I was flitting around with developing scrapers and some basic desktop systems. After I took that course, I went from one level to another and am now working remotely with buffer.

This is great. But it seems like many almost every great tutorial has a step zero that is left out. In this case, for me at least, what is missing is: What's a good guide to choosing or building a CUDA system? Preferably a Linux non-laptop. Mostly for playing around with something that offers a bit more power than my day to day (very non-CUDA capable) laptop. Anyone have suggestions?

I think there might be an EC2 solution, but I'm more interested in buying or building my own hardware, as crazy as that might be, just to have a relatively fixed cost (other than electricity) and to skip the overhead of any EC2 learning curve there might be.
Since how long it's going to take to have a potent Shor's algorithm machine is mostly a matter of when and in what series a set of novel advances occur in a range of fields (physics and mathematics at least), there's a lot of uncertainty as to when that ball is going to drop. Given that, and how long it takes to get rid of legacy crypto even when we know it's dead as a doornail, and how long it takes to vet a cryptographic algorithm, I think there's no time like the present to get started on post-quantum crypto.
Some sites are involved in actual transactions that don't involve eyeballs and fractions of pennies these will be fine.

Simple sites designed to promote the spread of genuinely useful information can be designed to use microscopic resources and operate on little money these will be fine.

Some sites provide neat services people are willing to pay for these will be fine.

Some sites represent the online presence of organizations with significant budgets these will be fine.

Much of what remains isn't worth much and if no viable means of support can be found I guess they shouldn't exist.

Honestly 1/2 of the modern web could go away and not much would be lost.

It's only a crisis if your livelihood depends on making a bunch of crap nobody in their right mind would pay significant resources to support.

According to here[0], when you say:

CT would create an open, unalterable record of
every cert published from all of these roots
and their subordinates.

That provides no substantiation for Google's push to be a Certificate Authority (CA). It arguably makes a case for Google to be a "Log Server" (which has its own troubling implications as that could then (now?) hook Google into the verification process of every certificate issued[1]). But absolutely nothing about CT needs/implies/warrants Google to become a CA.

Given Google's strong push for making those
mandatory, I'm far more worried about a lot
of the CAs already in my trust store than I
am about these.

The very authority to which you are appealing is precisely the one which is suspect.

Learn about LSD
Is that difference statistically significant? For those who don't have time to click the link, they looked at 53 kids who received GA and 53 who didn't. The average IQ of the first group was 5-6 points below the second. Now the stdev of one IQ is 15, so the stdev of the average of 53 is 15/sqrt(53)=2.06. The stdev of the difference of two such averages is then 2.06*sqrt(2)=2.91. A 5-point difference is then a 1.72 sigma event and a 6-point move a 2.06 sigma event, and the probabilities of more extreme events are 4.3% and 2%. I guess that's statistically significant, but not by much.
