Because users like yourself feel entitled to have access to the work of others without regard how we manage to pay our bills.

All nice and good when it is possible to sell books, consulting services or hide the software behind a SaaS pay-wall that helps to pay the bills, which is absolutely not the case for desktop software unless it is web based applications behind that pay-wall.

Thus preventing any kind of long term business model targeting the GNU/Linux desktop.

Which is yet another reason why many rather target app stores nowadays.
I don't doubt you saw studies with conclusions like "50% more omega-3s." Sounds good. The devil, unfortunately, is in the details. I can elaborate if you want, but in an example such as this one, the amount of omega-3s went from one insignificant, but measurable number to another insignificant, but measurable number.

Or maybe you've seen reports on greater antioxidants or whatever. To make the leap to healthier is actually a completely separate matter. (Side note--too many antioxidants actually appears to interfere with your own cancer fighting processes. It was believed that free radicals were evil in the body, but it turns out they serve important functions too. As with most health news, things are more nuanced than the headlines suggest).

While talking about nutrients, I should point out that there are other studies showing conventional food have more of this or that nutrient. Those don't make big headlines, nor should they. Again, the amounts we're talking about are usually insignificant. The foods may be "different" in small ways, but "better?" Nope.

I could go on and on (e.g., let's say the numbers are significant--does it lead to better health in practice or is it a simple, possibly unjustified, extrapolation from other studies on the component in question). I could talk about dietary pesticides (99.99% that you consume are those produced by the plant itself) or herbicides or whatever. Careful observation makes you less trustful of the marketing hype.

Eating good food is important. Eat a reasonable amount of a variety of foods, mostly plants. Process it appropriately, according to established guidelines. That stuff is important. Organic? Probably not so much.
I make a decent amount of money from ad revenue for Indie Hackers every month. You can see a breakdown of my traffic and revenue stats for January in this blog post: https://www.indiehackers.com/blog/month-in-review-2017-01. After focusing on this type of revenue for about 3-4 months, here are my takeaways:

* If you're going to use affiliate links, e.g. Amazon, then you really need the content on your site to appeal to people who have an intent to buy. For example, nobody really comes to Indie Hackers to buy hosting, so affiliate links for hosting companies don't do well. However, people come to learn more about building profitable online businesses, so links to websites and books and other educational resources in that area get lots of clicks. (This is true of any business, really: understand your customer and provide what they want, not what you want to sell.)

* I haven't tried Google Adsense, because I find the ads ugly. But I do use BuySellAds, and the revenue isn't great. I make something like $1 per 1000 visits. It probably doesn't help that ad-blockers tend to block these ads (unless you render them server-side).

* If your audience fits into a valuable niche, individual advertisers are often willing to pay quite a lot for some real estate. Of course, this requires some manual upfront outreach on your part, but it's easier to do than it sounds. I've had 20 minute phone calls that resulted in $1000 or $2000 ad buys.

EDIT: Also, if you're going to run a content site, create a newsletter that visitors can subscribe to. Make sure it goes out at least twice a month, so people don't forget who you are and unsubscribe. (You can completely automate it if you don't want to spend time maintaining it.) Newsletters are valuable real estate for ad revenue, and they also help you build an audience that you can potentially sell to if you ever create a product in the future. In fact, a newsletter can be your entire business: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13630163

Definitely, but that was not colonialism. The warlords were Chinese; the power bases for these warlords were built during the late Qing dynasty. They of course had some Western influences (one even proclaimed himself Christian, another announced he was admirer of George Washington) but primarily they were just Chinese men of power, with short-term visions that were ultimately defeated by determined nationalists.
As others have said, it is very common in ecommerce. There are strict rules around the updates. Your bank knows why the new card was added. If the reason was simple (i.e. renewing because of expiration) then they share the new card with Account Updater. However, if your card was lost or stolen Account Updater will notify the subscribers but will not share the new card number. This prevents chargebacks and other common billing problems.
Your third point makes me sad. I remember growing up when there were still places that were considered uncharted for the most part and global trade wasn't quite what it has become today. There was a mystery to other cultures that I always wanted to explore and experience that I feel I can never get back.

Even traveling to Japan, while quite alien in many ways, still gave me somewhat of a theme park feeling because of westernization (one of my favorite countries though).

Is there any way to experience what it is like to be a rare explorer to somewhere largely untouched culturally? Honestly I feel like the closest thing is MMOs sadly enough.

Depends on the company. Some have no problem replacing it with something else, some do.
Just curious. Why encrypt one key with another instead of using some sort of secret sharing scheme (e.g. Shamir's)?
So, the fact that Japan spent two decades in an economic flatline after the collapse of an asset (specifically, property) bubble has no influence on the current price of property?
You're right about white males. Nothing ever happened to Aaron Hillel Swartz. Or is he a bit too dark for your taste?

Just talked with Ron Garret about this dinner event. They were actually 2 separate events. His blog post was about a dinner with those two alone, and I was with them on another evening, me sitting next to Eric.

Interesting events 19 years ago. Ron changed his name in the meantime (and made Google AdSense), while Eric died horribly. Alone. From a stomach problem or such.
> Spotify are aggressively exploiting artists...

What do you mean by that?

And separately, is it better or worse or the same as how the music industry has exploited artists over the years?
>I just downvote paywalls and move on.

I am confused. I always thought that on HN only comments can be downvoted.

Did you mean "flag paywalls and move on"?

I actually disagree about the fullscreen video. Why would I ever want to watch video not fullscreen?

Vimeo also behaves like this on mobile and it's far superior to Youtube, which often totally hides the fullscreen button.
Ah yeah, just realizing this...what would you recommend?
You see, 35 years ago you signed this order on d'tention over hard drive 'ncryption?

That's unconst'tutional, you know. Here we've got the relevant law. So now we have to w'draw a 35 years worth of pay that you received aft'wards. That's the law that say that, too. We'll start by taking your house 'way.

The mobile app is pretty decent, but it's not well designed. It's easy to get lost in the confusion mishmash of navigation elements. For example, if I'm playing a song, I tend to hit the hamburger menu in the upper-right corner to find the "add to playlist" function, when it's in the tiny "..." icon next to the pause button.

I'm reasonably happy with the desktop app, although it's still as terrible at organizing your collection of music as it's always been. For example, if you save a single song from an album, that album shows up in your "Albums" view, which makes no sense. And if you go to that album, it's actually a weird, special virtual album and not the real album (there's a "View full album" link to get to that one).

I was using the "Save" function for quite a while until I met the 10,000 song limit. Which is a ridiculously low limit for any lover of music, especially when album counts toward that limit — "saving" an album is actually just saving the individual tracks. You can't raise this limit; you're done, or you have to go back and unsave music.

The "Local files" function is also pretty obviously an afterthought. You can only play them to a device if your device is on the same network as your desktop machine; this also goes for syncing. To play your "local files" on a device, you have to mark them for offline play on the device while the desktop Spotify is running. How ridiculous is that?

A final gripe: After 10 years, Spotify still doesn't categorize classical music by composer and performer separately. Apple Music does this correctly.

However, there probably is quite a bit of tritiated water.

Yes. Here's the tank farm.[1]

It could probably be let out into the ocean without much harm, if not done all at once. But there's opposition to that. Meanwhile, it decays with a half-life of 12 years, so eventually it will be harmless. Frustratingly, the concentration of tritium is too low for commercial extraction.

Going back to the another part of my comment.

"Demoscene conflates with gaming culture, no one is religious over APIs, rather over computer systems, e.g. Atari vs Amiga.

What matters is becoming the master, able to show that demo that everyone though impossible, streching that specific OS/machine to the max, on the big screen."

So demoscene guys/gals usually have no quibbles using something like DirectX, or using features for which one requires a specific GPU model.

Also many on the demoscene are also game devs on AAA studios, or have been hired by them, with access to console devkits, which are also only available on Windows.
There is a secondary market. If you buy out a licensee and say "hey, I can offer newer more profitable service with similar emissions" the FCC will let you.
Regarding the Signal double-ratchet: I'd be very interested to see an implementation in Lisp of it.
Exactly, OP doesn't seem to understand that classical logic is the only logic out there.
I really strongly agree that the current messaging suggests that you should only use it if you don't trust the other person, and that it's at least partly caused by the 'prenup' language. But as a tagline, "2fa for sex tapes" doesn't really get you to a positive message.

An alternative: "The safest way to share your most intimate moments." It takes what is a deeply troubling problem (revenge porn) — and turns it into an opportunity for deeper intimacy with your partner. Then hit em with value props:

* Protect your intimate videos from hackers — the videos can only be accessed on specific devices.

* Get control over your image. Share your videos as few or as many times as you'd like, and simply delete your video from your Rumuki app to remove access immediately, forever.

* Make security the default. Sent videos can be seen once. Unless you say so, no hacker, ex, or snoop can open it again.
I love how you managed to shoehorn a dig at Ajit in there. Very creative, 8/10.

Yes, that's about the same content. Excellent, thanks a lot.

I often think about how to control or even reboot a CPU out there in space, running on slow hardened HW (cosmic rays shooting at you), and if you make a small mistake and the thing doesn't boot up properly the whole mission is lost.
You must be really sure about the root cause of your problem, and properly analyze it (hence his simulation), otherwise no chance.

Like a reboot via SSH, just a bit trickier, because nobody will be able to help you.
Generalization doesn't help.

Define "easy". For me it's relative. Some stuff are easier than others. There is not an "absolute" easy. My job is 100x easier than most jobs I know. But I know many people making more money with less effort doing other tasks that are not necessarily jobs.

Then of course morality and legality enter in the equation. Very often, making something illegal or immoral increase the ratio pay/effort in your favor. E.G: spam or drugs.
Would you please elaborate? I think almost all mathematicians use classical logic rather than intuitionistic logic.
Wow. Came for the APFS next-gen shit, left with a ton of DTrace knowledge and inspiration to learn more techniques like this ..

The "lambda" here isn't AWS Lambda. It's a locally executed function.

Is there any plan for the FCC to address Wifi issues with spectrum auctions like this?

Right now, Wifi is becoming practically unusable in large apartment complexes or open spaces like conference centers due to the large number of devices competing for spectrum. I'd be interested to hear if there are any FCC plans or open standards that could resolve this.
Why do you do that with apostrophes? It makes your comment harder to read and doesn't add anything to it.
Did you bother to read the article? He was detained coming into the country.

Just call a spade a spade. Trump wrote a shitty, racist executive order and people from all walks of life who happen to have one thing in common, a Muslim sounding name, are caught up in it.
As others pointed out this is a rather standard flow handled by the account updater service[s]. What I would add is most of the time the merchant doesn't store your payment instrument data other than last 4 digits and an expiration date just so the card in your "digital wallet" can be identified in the UI - "Your Visa ending in ...1234" type deal.

Instead, they store a token provided to them by the payment processor which represents the card. That token stays the same even if your account info gets updated. So the only thing the merchant updates is the "metadata" of the payment instrument for end user's convenience. The actual heavy lifting associated with the update is handled on the payment processor side.

That said - from what I understand Amazon is a bit of an exception here and they actually store the full blown card info (other than CVV which is "illegal" to store) so they have to deal with the implications of account updates themselves.
I feel like 90% of the problem with Labview is the interface, so I wouldn't discount interface improvements.

Even if this wasn't spaghetti code, most of the Labview icons are totally unreadable:

Good suggestion. It's pretty easy to get $100/wk for one to two hours of tutoring. Figure you'll need a few months of earning less hourly to (a) learn how to teach and (b) build a reputation. Once you've got an idea of what you're doing, you can make a good amount with little effort. I do some CS tutoring on the side. I don't prep, and the hour with the kids is generally enjoyable. Easy hundred bucks.

While one-to-one teaching/tutoring probably isn't much a career boost, it can be rewarding in other ways.
Aaron died because he killed himself. As far as persecution goes, being a white male is a boon rather than a count against. One data outlier does not an argument make.
Aaron Schwartz was skewered because he made political statements and took action the gov't didn't like while doing something illegal that may have hurt a multinational corporation.
Ask HN: Why HN does not have categories for news
I'm tired of reading about non-Hacking news, such KGB double agent, volcanoes, etc.

why not having categories like:

Hacking

Tech

Business

Startups

Politics

Environment

and an article can fall under multiple categories

Make it simple, no more than 7-8 categories
Their point about how other countries will take the US's stance as a cue is somewhat scary.

If you try and cross any border it will be relinquishing access to all accounts.

I'm assuming email also comes along with 'social media', since communication is by its definition social.

So how do you protect yourself?
I think just going with "Don't have any social media" isn't a good answer because the relationship that children growing up today with the internet is almost completely different to even people 10-15 years older than them.

Someone having carte blanche access to a person's phone will find something if they want to.

Imagine you're in a few group chats, someone mentions doing some drug. And you've just entered a country where that's an instant prison sentence.

Maybe some off colour jokes about politicians? Proof to kick you out or at least detain.

I imagine we're at the cusp of something much more unsettling. The technology to reverse image search a face is available today. It's pretty easy to make you appear associated with anything, anyone, etc.
> some people think letting CCs expire on accounts to get out of contracts is the way to go.

That's a terrible strategy. It doesn't free you of any actual liabilities if you're under a contract.

It's like saying that refusing to send a check to pay your electricity or post-paid phone bill is a way to "get out of a contract". The company will just send you to collections (most likely) or sue (if your debt is large enough).
Goods and services that don't turn a profit can still have great value. For instance, can you monetize the air you breath? Not really, but I imagine it has great value to you.
Apple payment (iTunes) supports this as well.
Sure, but sometimes you want app that's only in play store - maybe Signal (if you trust the creator), maybe e-banking app, or local transport app, or Waze, or whatever.

Some bigger apps are on apkmirror.com, but smaller ones aren't uploaded very often, so this might be a way to get them.

I think the idea is to save the money that you cut? If your income stays the same but your monthly expenses drop $x per month, that would be the same savingswise as earning x dollars more per month and keeping your expenses the same.

I'm pretty sure if you go back to the 50's there would be people who would not shop at places owned by Jews or alternatively at places that do or do not serve "negroes" based on one's political and ideological affiliation....

Heck if you would go back to the age of colonial america you'll find people boycotting things like you know tea way before the famous (or infamous) boston tea party.

Voting with your wallet is one of the easiest things to do for most people and it's something that makes them feel like they've actually accomplished something whilst in reality actually accomplishing very little in most cases.

And if you want to point fingers at specific governments then if we go back to GWB then we can all recall the "french boycott" ala freedom fries and freedom toast...

One can say that there is a difference between individuals politicising commerce and companies, but honestly companies always did it, if albit in a less public manner.

This is in most cases just virtue signalling which results in things like "fair traded XYZ" which isn't fairly traded in any objective interpretation of the word fair to the workers and individual farmers.
Fair traded coffee is only really fair to the coffee companies it sets an upper limit on the price of coffee and in effect consolidates coffee production which makes it easier for the coffee companies since they have to deal with fewer entities.

But in the west we buy it as some good act we've done to help the poor farmer in some central american countries that most people would not be able to find on a map.

I'm with you on that. But if your goal is to have savings set aside so that one day you can afford to live on those savings (in "retirement"), then savings alone won't get you there. you need to have actual savings.
