It was happening, only more blatantly than is suggested here. Of course they are all motivated to find good candidates, but they are also motivated to keep their existing folks. Decreasing liquidity and mobility serves the latter purpose at the expense of the former.

I think part of forgetting as you're older is simply that there's less novelty in your experiences. You're going to remember your first 100 movies way better than your 1000th.

Your first ten trips to Red Robin (tm) vs your 40th. And so on.
The biggest complaint has always been that it's a gigantic conflict of interest. You can't block ads and also make money from allowing ads. It's inherently contradictory. I don't think there's any fixing this six years later by announcing

"Also, in an industry first, an ordinary user will be seated as one of the 11 committee members to represent consumers’ demands of the online advertising industry."

It's an industry first after six years of the industry Nth of selling out your users. We can't begrudge Adblock Plus's desire to make money. But there's as little reason to accept them blowing smoke up our asses.

Unless your friends are very, very, very similarly minded, that falls under the "everywhere you go, nobody is there" class, and you quickly stop using it in favor of some sort of centralized comment stream like a chat channel or Facebook posts.

The power-law distribution of web pages wreaks havoc on almost any attempt to distribute people well here. Your solution basically would make it so the annotation works OK on only those pages that are on the high end of the local power law distribution, but that is probably fewer pages than you might think as you'd all have different long tails.
Not sure I entirely agree but I do feel GitLab is caught up now in the hyper-growth circle like every other startup :/ If the enterprise angle does not work out, there is no backup plan. They compete against GitHub and Atlassian in this space and can only grow so much (but VCs was never ending growth).

Google fucked them hard. But they kept their engineering going for many years afterwards, and their business model (from what I can tell) involved partnerships with media companies like newspapers, which are a channel for interactions that aren't mediated by Google.

> Not a word is said, they are clicking at their laptops, and staring at the whiteboard, as waiting for the genie to pop out of a bottle. All the while your mind is frozen and stuck in a bad loop.

I interviewed once with a couple of owners in a restaurant. They asked me something relevant, and I all but froze. I knew the subject, but it just would not reveal itself to me.

I candidly admitted "brainlock." They were very gracious about it, I soon got through that subject and we moved on. I was eventually hired.

The lesson being, for myself at least, not being able to produce "on the fly" is sometimes compounded by being afraid to show or admit a problem. Good people, however, will be forgiving and encouraging. They've been there themselves, we all have.

There have been a number of times, over the decades, that I have basically admitted ignorance or temporary brainlock, and it has always gone well, whether I was hired or not. I think, if nothing else, that it's refreshing and novel for the interviewer.

It really reduces stress if you allow yourself to be human. In turn, that's much easier if you don't put yourself in a position that "I must have this job."
Hundreds of people a year die adventuring in that region cash prize or no. Leaving the house is dangerous.
demo => the people, krato => the power.

The problem is not the system here. It's the fact people are not willing to use the power they have. They don't vote with their money, act like citizen, organize their life so that it reflects the way they wants things to be.

Having children is a political statement. Watching TV is a political statement. Getting in shape. Eating at mac Donald. Leaving in the city. Working in a bank. Taking a loan. Having a car. Dressing up. Embracing religion.

Every decision of life has consequences on the system. This is the power people have. They seldom use it for a lot of good and bad reasons. Indeed, if you make a default choice, something you don't think about, or something you refuse to bother with, you give up your power.

Often they will say "there is nothing we can do" or "it's x's fault". But the reality is, it's impossible NOT to change the world. You just change it locally, at your scale, all the time.

A democracy can only work if the majority of the people are trying to make it work. If they just live in it, any system will decay, no matter how fair and benevolent it is. A system is just a canvas. There are better than others, but eventually democracy is how we are using it.

Actually having democracy implies thinking less about freedoms and more about responsibilities, and how to all share them. Few people want to do that. You can't blame us, it's hard, exhausting and scary. It's easier to expect the system to be fair, to have "people that know" being responsible, and to be far away from the consequences of failure.

Voting a few times in X years is not democracy. Delegating power to a minority is not people having power. It's quite the contrary. If people accepted real power, we would have much more numerous, regular and direct access to the management of our society.

Note that I'm not saying I'm unhappy in our current systems. It's been very generous with me, I enjoy a good life with many benefits, more than most on earth, more than even most of my neighbors.

It's just not a democracy. We never had one. Just like we never had a communist society. We tried, but until now we failed. And despite that we labeled wrongly the failed attempts which became canonical examples, twisting the definition.

I'm not sure it's a bad thing : I doubt humanity is ready for democracy. We can't bother reading a "confirm/cancel" prompt, let alone all the political programs on election month. Maybe we need to try something as a transition instead of jumping around and pretending we are already were we need to be.
That morse code product is called Knocki and it raised $1.1M on Kickstarter a few months ago.

I don't think it's only the UX of four buttons. You can use them as only four buttons as well without having to remember that each button has its own app. I'm going to try again with a less expensive product (minus the wood most likely) and a better marketing strategy of signing up interest for months beforehand. But I still worry that the conversion rate will still remain low, even with the additional traffic.
I wonder why they don't just say "look for rocks".

I never saw the economics of crowdfunding before, but this confirms what I suspected: crowdfunding isn't really about getting your project funded by the crowd, but about buying a structured platform to launch from.

It looks like a 10% non-refundable deposit is the entry ticket, plus a bunch of non-refundable marketing work on top. And you can't tell the truth about how much money you actually need for fear of not hitting your target.

I'm not saying there's a problem here, but this isn't how I envisioned crowdfunding in the beginning. I thought it was a promising way for makers without money to get started. But it seems it's become a place for people with money to advertise and execute market analytics.
This example shows how cumbersome the DOM APIs and their limitations are. Also, React is not _just_ DOM diff-ing. It also provides a host of other benefits... some of which are both shown here and covered immediately in the next set of examples with Polymer's kinda-templating-language.

You cannot buy into Web Components without buying into at least Polymer to supply you with data binding.

If you don't like React's size, there are slimmer options: Inferno, Preact etc.

For anyone wondering (as I was), Kindle Unlimited pays per page based on the size of the fund (number of subscribers total), and the number pf pages read during that month.

>Here are some examples of how it would work if the fund was $10M and 100,000,000 total pages were read in the month:

The author of a 100 page book that was borrowed and read completely 100 times would earn $1,000 ($10 million multiplied by 10,000 pages for this author divided by 100,000,000 total pages).
The author of a 200 page book that was borrowed and read completely 100 times would earn $2,000 ($10 million multiplied by 20,000 pages for this author divided by 100,000,000 total pages).
The author of a 200 page book that was borrowed 100 times but only read halfway through on average would earn $1,000 ($10 million multiplied by 10,000 pages for this author divided by 100,000,000 total pages).

That's the sort of snarky dismissal we've been trying to cut back on here. There's nothing special about predicting the failure of a venture. That's like predicting normal weather, only in a cynical voice to make it sound contrarian. You will be right 99% of the time, and your cynicism will have its return on investment, a smug chortle. But this game is of no (intellectual) interest. If you could predict a tornado or an earthquake, that would be interesting.

> Ads are an infection vector and privacy leak.

Both of these are undeniably true about specific ads, but surely not the genre of advertising in general? I think that magazine ads, for example, are neither infection vectors nor privacy leaks. To the extent that these can be audited, surely preventing malware distribution and respecting my privacy are part of what should be included in the definition of 'acceptable'. (If they are not included, then I would argue that that is a failure of a specific implementation of "acceptable ads", not of the notion of acceptability itself.)

> It's like concept of "acceptable groping" from an HR department. Completely at odds with their stated intent and standard ethics.

While that is a potent analogy, I would argue that there's a difference: most of us agree that there is no level of groping that's acceptable; whereas I _think_ that, even among those of us who would like a web with no ads, the position that there is no level of advertising that's acceptable is extreme.

> Sorry, I'm now using uBlock Origin and/or Safari content blockers. I'll go with those organizations who don't have any interest/stake in permitting ads.

I agree, and don't mean to argue against those options. For what it's worth, I also use µBlock; I left ABP over what I perceived as conflicts of interest, and I am not interested in going back. Nonetheless, since some people do use it, surely this divestiture from a conflict of interest is a good thing, even if it's not perfect.

I think your native web components example is wrong, or more probably outdated.

Here's an example with the latest wc spec: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/sl...

But as far as I understand from the spec, sadly, you would still need a separate DSL that would leverage iterations, conditionals and other templating operations on top of web components.
There are writers making millions self-publishing romance novels. (Not many make millions, but the number who work full-time and earn more than they would in a day job is not small.)

The Romance Writers of America industry group has always been well ahead of the curve on self-pub - ironically further ahead than the Science Fiction and Fantasy industry group.

The big problem with self-pub is marketing and audience building. (Fifty Shades started as a marketing exercise, written by a professional marketer.)

Most self-pub has similar problems, including tech self-pub.

Publishers used to do the marketing for writers. Now they expect writers to do it. Most writers have worked out that if they're going to do the marketing anyway, giving up more than 80% of the income in return for an initial advance may not be a great deal.

Unfortunately marketing is hard, and not many people are good at it. Especially writers, who tend to think all they have to do is put the book up on Amazon, mention it on Facebook, and wait.

So the intersection of "can write", "can market", and "can finish a book and not just think about writing one" is a tiny percentage of the total aspiring author demographic.
>references to Purim do not feature in the Jewish literature before the 1st century CE.

What does that have to do with Google Fiber?
> I completely froze on a phone interview once.

Ah, the memories come rushing back. I once froze in an interview, and force myself to blather something inane so that the phone wouldn't be silent. It went horribly.

I called back later that day or the next (it's been a long time), and basically said "that's not me. I know what I'm doing!" We had a conversation about the subject that I botched. It went well in part because I had already accepted that I'd lost that job; I just didn't want to leave an impression anywhere that I was a loon.

I got that job.
Whoa, that Morse code idea was meant as a joke. Edit: ahh ok that's not how Knocki works.

Anyway, conversion is all about what percentage of people seeing an advertisement want your product. Having a great pitch only goes so far.

Every time I tried to explain to the lady at the till at Fantastic Sam's that I didn't want to give a phone number, I got a blank look; usually a manager had to come over and help them because they literally had no idea what to do when someone didn't want to give them a phone number just for the privilege of getting their hair cut. At one point I had someone tell me I literally wasn't allowed to get a haircut without providing them with a phone number.

Thankfully, my new barbershop doesn't care in the slightest; they will put me on a chair, cut my hair, and take my money. That's all I've ever wanted out of that particular relationship.

What sort of unlikely coincidences have you experienced on the internet?
Was searching for a cultural reference and the first result was a forum post from 2002. Upon closer inspection, it was me, as a young teenager, chiming in on a topic I knew very little about.

NetBSD other than being super portable (dozens of CPU architectures) has spawned some amazing projects that can't be mentioned enough.

* [pkgsrc](http://pkgsrc.org/), a super portable and flexible ports system that is used per default on NetBSD, SmartOS, Minix, some Linux distributions, at DARPA, etc. Support for over 20 operating systems (as in actually different OS kernels)
* [Lua Scripting in the kernel [PDF]](https://www.netbsd.org/gallery/presentations/mbalmer/fosdem2...)
* [A PGP implementation](http://www.netpgp.com/faq.html)
* [A test framework for operating systems](https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/atf/)
* [Binary Interfaces for Linux, FreeBSD, SCO Unix, Tru64, Win32, Solaris, SVR4, Ultrix](https://www.netbsd.org/docs/compat.html)

Also they have all the stuff like FUSE, used to be pretty big in the Xen world (mostly for the high level portability), recently developed a [pretty nice SMP focused network filter](https://www.netbsd.org/~rmind/npf/ were the first to implement various drives (including implementing support for Apple hardware, before an OS from them officially supported it), their network stack I think still holds the the record for the fastest intercontinental file transfer ever done, etc. They also are pretty secure, which is mostly due to a strong quality focus.

But I think their devs are too busy achieving all those things, rather than hyping the OS, so that's why I have to. ;)

EDIT: Oh and despite all that research and so on, they always remained very pragmatic and non-political. That combination is really rare I think.

Agreed. I actually had a good time interviewing with them. I'm not sure if it was normal, but it was essentially a 2 week email thread with a few GitLab devs asking me to explain various architectural parts of their system. I had fun diving into their system and getting to know it, including a few of their Go projects like workhorse, but I stopped the process after being told I couldn't ask for more than $60,000 for the position. Cool company, but the pay is just too low.
I agree with the "super-niche" product perspective and why it didn't have the success you wanted, although it did succeed after all.
In every job I had before moving into coding, I hated something about some piece of software I was using, and for various reasons, I found it impossible to address that thing I hated. So I learned to code. Now when I bump into software I don't like, I can do something about it, or learn to appreciate why it works that way!
