There are some good articles, but they exist in a sea of noise. I don't know about you, but I come to places like HN because that noise is undesirable.

It is not "unprofessional". I'm a professional developer and when an employer asks me what I can do for them I don't consider it unprofessional. Likewise, when I ask an employer what they can do for me, it isn't "unprofessional".

To think otherwise is to lose sight of the fact that this is a business arrangement; a value for value exchange. Asking the counter party what they are trading for your labor is a "big warning flag" to an employer only if they didn't want a fair exchange of value i.e. "Sorry, we're looking for someone more exploitable."
Patreon is a budget. It's not really comparable to kickstarter unless you're doing weird one-off juggling.

Their rate is only lower than humans because humans take over whenever the software faces a problem they can't deal with, indicates a problem or behaves erratically.

> If someone does not understand or read the entirety of a (double-digit-pagecount-with-single-point-font) document that has been intentionally written as obtuse as possible, is that document actually legally binding?

Yup — at least if you're in the U.S.; I can't say as to other jurisdictions. (IAAL.)

Indeed, in the U.S. it's close to an iron-clad rule: You're presumed to have read the contract you signed — and even if you didn't, with rare exceptions you're still stuck with its terms.

> No "normal" people read or care about these kinds of documents, nor should they have to. Judges are starting to realize this, and react accordingly.

In the U.S., historically that's been true only in an extraordinarily-narrow set of circumstances. Look up "unconscionability" and note the distinction between procedural and substantive unconscionability [0]. I've seen no evidence of any general trend otherwise.

In summary: (A) RTFC. (B) "Ought to be" ≠ "is."

This partially describes some Windows Phone's I've had:

- Fairly small (around 4" though)
- Fairly light (not "super" though)
- Quite robust, partially due to plastic case and glass front not fully reaching edges
- Acceptable performance with really cheap hardware
- All basic apps, including WhatsApp (not sure how long it will still be supported though)

About snooping, I think you can disable almost all feedback to MS in WP8, and third-party apps don't stand a chance because they're heavily isolated and inter-app communication as well as global OS features are extremely limited yet, as opposed W10 or other modern mobile OS'.

What's interesting to me is the differences in cultures within the US. I live in Missouri, and I actually thought the "OMFG" post above was a joke because what the CEO did was so tame.

Kind of a silly question but in the case of a "normal" car accident, don't they just come down to compensation costs. Either for repairs and damages, the individual involved or even medical costs. Couldn't the likes of Uber simply underwrite their own insurance and fight their own cases in court where appropriate?. If self-driven Ubers are as safe as we expect all self-driven cars then wouldn't this be a "cheap" option anyway?.
I don't know where you would start with more serious accidents, if Uber is at fault.
For those who wants to know c++17 features

std::optional and std::any are one of the good things. std::apply and std::invoke can help you write better functional c++17 code.

Ok so, how about concentrating on ending the fruitless killing of foreign civilians based on cellphone metadata? Would that be good?

Maybe that'd engender less ill will against the US government in those and other communities, creating a significant positive change?
Yeah I'd agree, however it was higher than humans then not only is it not currently viable it is unsafe to test on public roads.
"Perhaps the most exciting thing was that we decided to add the std::byte type"

So "std::byte" is not a character ("std::char") nor arithmetic ("std::int8_t/uint8_t"), but allows bitwise operations. It was really necessary? Anyone knows if that type allows defining the byte size in bits per instance?

As an investor in Exxon, I disagree that you should criticize a company when one ship leaks a little oil.
The problem is that they are trying to fix something which dont need fixing. Media is not broken, its exactly as good as it can be when so many people have access to writing whatever they want.

The search for a large scale business model in media is never going to turn anything out, its not the content thats valuable but distribution.

While I don't feel as strongly about Medium as the parent comment, I'm also less inclined to read an article when it is posted on Medium. No real reason, really, just a personal bias from myself because I'm finding a lot of "thought-leader-pieces" articles over there, and technical content over there are not as well formatted as the ones on someone's personal blog that are well designed for code snippets and such in the article.

I still read Medium articles when I came across articles written by people whose work I'm somewhat familiar with though.

You're approaching it the wrong way. When I back I never expect anything and I most often forget about the game when it's actually released. I'm still happy backing and supporting the creators though.
maybe it's broken? mine works fine. Might be worth a call to the genii.

Edit: Why the downvote?
That's an interesting angle, charge the creators instead of the consumers. I'm writing from time to time on Medium myself, and could have paid for that as well.

I've also sometimes paid for images for my articles. If Medium made is super easy (and cheap) to find and buy images for an article, I'd use it.

Have no idea if these revenue streams could scale to the degree Medium needs, though.
This article is a pretty good take-down of Medium's business model and its future prospects.

But even if you don't really care about Medium, it's actually a very strong piece otherwise, because it presents a fairly comprehensive list of the various business models that online publishers have tried over the years, along with data about how successful those strategies have been.

I'm a former journalist who had to leave the industry not because I didn't care for journalism anymore, but because newspapers lost their business model, and the industry remains a shadow of its former self.

Among the business models the article describes:

- Ad-funded. When it doesn't work well: General interest news orgs, such as your daily metro newspaper. The bulk of their ad revenue continues to come from print advertising, and digital advertising has little chance of every pulling in comparable revenue. When it works well: "We cover a specific niche; we dig in a little deeper; we tend to know what we're talking about; we're independently owned and thus have no corporate investors to please."

- Subscription. When it doesn't work well: Historically, people have been reluctant to pay for what they thought they could get for free. When it does work well: "Big respected names with huge resources that have hit on a specific model: offer a few free articles a month and then prompt for subscription. It has finally started working after a decade of hard times. In part thanks to the election of Donald Trump, these news organizations have seen their subscriber levels jump. ... it seems that, psychologically, people are getting used to the idea again of paying for content. It's like a switch. And once you pay for Netflix, Spotify and Amazon Prime, it seems perfectly reasonable to pay for quality news."

- Guilt. When it doesn't work well: The Guardian has tried a variation of this -- "If you use it, if you like it, then why not pay for it? It's only fair." -- and the results have been terrible. When it does work well: Wikipedia's donation drives tend to pull in a ton of cash, but it's a nonprofit.

- Advertorials. When it doesn't work well: In Business Insider's case, "you literally sell yourself to companies. We predict this will end in misery sooner rather than later." When it does work well: Hmm, I don't think it ever does.

And then there are the various compensation models for the content producers:

- Pay professional journalists a decent salary, and don't hinge their pay on page views. It's the most expensive option, but you get what you pay for: Quality, in-depth journalism.

- Pay professional journalists (or unprofessional bloggers) according to their number of page views. This tends to lead to "junk journalism that a hit-based reward model encourages."

- Don't pay your bloggers at all. It's the least expensive option, but again, you get what you pay for.

As a matter of personal taste, I prefer big complex languages over simple ones

And I do consider, that some of the strongest criticism of C++, and that is, "that most people use a subset of it, so it feels like many different languages glued into one", is actually a strength .. it means you can ignore some the complexity .. until you want it, or need it

I am very happy, that C++ is adding new features every 3 years .. and I do plan to invest more time in C++

Complexity is good

People say Uber needs self-driving cars in order to survive. But how realistic is it that we have self-driving cars without a backup human operator anytime soon? If someone needs to be behind the wheel anyway I don't see how it's cutting any costs.

I'm happy to pay for things that provide value in my life.

I pay a modest amount to some bloggers directly via Patreon for what I could otherwise get for free. I'm also considering doing the same for The Guardian (though that gets me the removal of ads). It's not out of the question that I would want to do the same for Medium.

I would miss them if they went away or had to change direction to monetise in new ways that reduced their value to me. Is this so bad?

I am not a fan of C++, believe me, but I as far as I can tell C++ is quite popular in the sense that it is used a lot - all major web browsers are written in C++, for video games it is the language of choice, both Windows' and macOS' kernels are written in (a subset of) C++, lots of desktop applications are written in C++, and that is just the stuff I happen to know.

I am glad I do not have to deal with C++, for the very reasons you mention, but as far as I can tell, it is fairly popular already.
I never heard that this school (which used, I think, to be the Department of Agriculture Graduate School) gave out any degrees.

Having said that, you are correct about Washington, DC. Part of it, I think, is the rules around government contracting: if I can bill John Doe, B.A., for $x/hour, I can probably bill Richard Roe, M.S. for $(x+y)/hour or John O'Nokes, Ph.D. for $(x+y+z)/hour. The government contractors also can offer tuition reimbursement for their employees, untaxed, if the classes "maintain and improve" skills for the job then held.

This. Medium and most other sites-in-search-of-a-business-model (including the Register) think that content is king, and that by producing 'better' content will create more revenue. In fact, distribution is king, and getting more distribution -- independent of the content -- is the key to success. Consider a site with high distribution and crap content: It's already making money and can always improve the content. A site with no distribution can't make money even if it improves its content.

Give it time. Soon they will have a foothold (aka presence) all over the planet. By the time they do this the auto industry will be able to produce a reliable self-driving car and regulations will be catching up.

Then someone who owns a self-driving (preferably electric) car will be "renting" his/her car to Uber for the hours when he/she does not need it.

The uber will THRIVE using someone else's vehicle, kicking the responsibility for maintenance etc to THEM and Uber will be collecting a nice 5-10-20% cut JUST for the service provision (booking, ACH, etc).
Meat is unarguably bad, but the pharmaceuticals industry is the closest thing we have to a miracle factory. It has spared us from the miseries of polio, tuberculosis, smallpox, AIDS, surgery without anaesthetic and a thousand other horrors. Diseases that were once death sentences are now treatable with medications that cost pennies. Countless millions of lives have been saved by vaccination.

Ayurvedic medicine clearly does more harm than good. It has never been shown to be significantly more effective than placebo. Ayurveda poses a major risk of heavy metal poisoning, due to the pseudoscientific theories of rasa shastra.

Which comparison is more meaningful? According to "Dark Sun", in 1945 the Manhattan Project was "approaching the US automobile industry in number of employees and capital investment." That comparison is utterly astounding; the fact that the F35 is more expensive but (I am guessing?) employs fewer people and has a seemingly smaller social impact is interesting.

Perhaps this is a sign of the increasing centralization of capital in the US?
I agree. It is a well-written article that shows the larger issue with media as a whole I believe. Social media and mass media companies are all funded by either advertising or subscriptions. As information has become ubiquitous and repetitive, it's value has gone down.

It's a vicious cycle that is coupled with many people not having money to spend on 'premium news' when there is a global existential crisis and extinction event underway.

I can read an entire Business Insider article without turning off AdBlocker. Why should I pay for their broken 'business model'? Their content is not worth paying for because it is usually derivative and their entire strategy is based on clickbait.

An internet finds a bitter satire of his industry and is endlessly amused at taking the piss out of sincere but naive youngsters who debate technical concerns without understanding the appropriate context and history.
