This is the same argument as the one against net neutrality. So if you your arguments are convincing to you here, then they should be there.

If you own a platform on which other people do business which is a natural monopoly, you shouldn't be allowed to regulate the content on that platform. Youtube is a natural monopoly. It's fairly obvious that this is so, but I will elaborate anyway.

The value of youtube is the number of people use the site. The number of people on the site encourages people to host their content on that site, more people hosting content on the site encourages more people to use the site. In this situation there will always be exactly one winner.
At least there is 5%(Nexus and Pixel) that get patched. The baseband is wide open on 100% of cellphones with a SIM card in them, and it's never getting patched.
But it will probably not come with these rules out of the box. I don't know how it is for others, but I only ever use the curated block lists and then whitelist a few sites I want to support.

They haven't introduced the name, but they do use the logo. See, for example, what the front of the Skyline looks like:

It's not exactly ideal for CI. We had to run uiautomator tests on Jenkins to get sensible real-world device coverage. On top of that these were a pain to maintain as each device required things to be done a little differently. Not to mention the hell we had doing CI on older devices with 4.4.4.
I'm not sure Spotify is something to aim for. My understanding is that payments to musicians are pitiful.

It might be the best we can do, given that the price of information has plummeted, but I hope something better comes along.
Sadly, I think both airline and media who repeated the random selection narrative, don't know what the word means, rather than being dishonest about it. Random is what a computer does, i.e. some metric they do not understand and cannot predict is to them random. They only understand it in terms of some really imperfect examples or metaphors that totally cheat them out of what randomness really is.

So now if you want to talk about crypto with them, it's instantly so problematic you'd just have to back the train way up. It's like the Feynman magnets video. Pointless without the necessary basic understanding.
Netflix was massively popular because the price was anchored against the price of cable. Americans were used to paying $100/mo or more for a collection of channels of which the majority were never watched. (because... ESPN? I never understood that) So $10/mo looked like a bargain.

Currently, online journalism is anchored against the price of free. So if I want to sit down with my coffee and read an article from the New York Times, another from Washington Post, and a counter-point from the Wall Street Journal and the Economist, and follow that up with a long-form piece from the New Yorker, I can either pay $500/yr, or remember to right click each article and open in incognito mode.
I'd be more "worried" to see JS/TS gradually disappear in favor of other languages that compile to wasm. If that happens, it won't matter which JS flavor or superset you're using. There's massive inertia behind JS though, so that'll take a while.

I put "worried" in quotes because I'm actually looking forward to using other languages. TS is a fantastic addition, but there's only so much it can do on top of JS, despite the great improvements in ES2015+. For example, I wish TS had a decent enum system with associated values and pattern matching (like Swift for example), but that's unlikely to happen.

i think, way back in the old days, some cable tv channels didn't have commercials. but they found out they could make more money with commercials and people kept subscribing anyways.
Interesting. I've used several food delivery services (Caviar, GrubHub, DoorDash, Delivery.com, UberEATS, and a few local ones in my college town), and DoorDash has been the best customer experience for me.
No. There are two disputes - Levandowski wrongfully took the documents (which Google may or may not pursue - I don't know what's happening there), and Uber wrongfully used them. They're saying that the arbitration agreement only applies to the dispute Google has with Levandowski directly, not to the separate dispute they have with Uber.
NYC has huge finance/business/old rich contingents along with 1st generation immigrants from conservative cultures. I find it hard to call the city as a whole liberal.
It's quite unfortunate that an official university news release seems to purposefully mislead its audience.

Or do they really just assume that no one cares about the difference? I find that hard to believe.

I suppose incompetence is also a potential explanation.
I applaud the advertisers. For a good long while racists were afraid or ashamed to push their racism too publicly. I liked that world, less hate and venom being spewed around poisoning the public sphere. But something snapped in the last few years and all the assholes have become loud and proud of their assholiness and they are celebrated and encouraged to be the biggest asshole they can possibly be. From what I can tell it is linked to gaming and 4chan, a new culture of young aggressive males raised on shock and gore and porn and no consequences. For the good of civilization this needs to be bottled up. Racists need to be ashamed again. Assholes need to return to pretending to be decent human beings. The great human achievement that makes civilized society possible is keeping testorene fueled young males under some control to allow things to be built up instead of always being torn down. If we lose that then everything is lost.

> if it's valuable and nonexcludable (usually isn't)...

That right there is the problem, though. You are right that most information is "non excludable" (if that actually is a word).

But that doesn't mean it isn't valuable. That's an illusion, conceptually very much like clean water: almost free, but vital.

The stuff the wire services collect and sell (and that everybody republishes) does cost quite a lot to produce, and it's the backbone of the news ecosystem. It's subjective value is further diminished by its anodyne voice, making it difficult to picture the actual people reporting it.

Maybe the publishers do actually have a case for a new class of intellectual property protection. I'm horrified of the prospect, but within the current market dynamics, I don't see much of a future for quality journalism. Public opinion is critical of every and all publications, indiscriminately, and quick to use that as an argument for not subscribing. Wall Street may still pay for Bloomberg and the like, but Main Street doesn't see why. Maybe the NYT spent two or three million on some investigation. Once published, the information is delayed by little else than the time it takes the guy at BillingsMorningNews.com to switch a few sentences around.

With regards to ad blockers, you are right in that there is nothing in the law that should stop anyone from using them. But that's not really the argument. Nor is anybody disagreeing that ad tech needs drastic changes.

But fundamentally, the question is if blocking ads isn't hurting your own interests. Sure, there are many sources for the same information, usually. But the one you're reading probably has some small advantage, which is why you are using it. Once that publication folds, you have already lost something. And I'm not optimistic that the process will stop before it has drastic consequences on diversity and availability.

It also sometimes needs reminding that for an individual, news often seems like a guilty pleasure. But for a society, news is vital. Without it, you can't even keep up the appearances of democracy.

It's a tragedy-of-the-commons situation, obviously: blocking ads is vastly advantageous for the individual, just as fishing with the really big net is for the fisherman. But, thinking a bit broader, the question becomes: What's better – reading the news with annoying ads, or not reading the news?
Hacker News was the initial seed, but it went viral through multiple other social media and traditional press outlets. Non-techies in my social circles (including ones outside of California) noticed, they just don't always see Lyft as a decent option in their local markets.
On that note, how much neo-nazi propaganda would I have to watch in order for advertisers to avoid me?
When you enter a physical store or the house of your neighbours, you are also entering into an unspoken agreement that far exceeds the minimum requirements set by law. You didn't sign anything and no notice was posted, yet you abide by the rules.

When they clearly and openly change those requirements, for instance by hanging advertisement banners from the walls, then you have the option of leaving. You are certainly not entitled to remove the banners from your view, not even using magic shades. The may ban magic shades in the stores or the house.

That technology makes certain things possible, even easily, does not make it an entitlement. That the other party is invisible, instead of mom and pop behind the counter of the store, does not mean you are entitled to ignore their wishes.
Interesting. I'm using a VPN so GeoIP didn't occur to me.

That's the only time I ever browse without adblock and, yes, I have actually clicked on a hiring ad, which led to my current job.

It's quite neat that they managed to access the Internet using some staff member's credentials.

Probably not a reason to be proud of him.
OK so now content creators have to go out there and get ads from companies.

Or... they'll find some ad aggregator, and you're basically back to step one!
These were not people that were deplaned, they were people that were denied boarding. Two totally different things.
YouTube isn't refusing to host the videos - advertisers just aren't paying as much for that sort of content.
In current state it will probably crash on more complex stuff.

In two years if there's no widespread adoption it will still crash because it's just another potential platform for QA to test on.

Also if I'm not mistaken it will only run apps that are compiled for x86 Android.
Generally the adblockers won't detect it if you host your ads like that. But if your website becomes popular, then someone will figure out whatever pattern is used to display the ads (url location, css class etc) and add it to a list that adblockers can use.

Only thing that seems to be missing is a way to re-arrange the shapes (z-order). I tried page-up/down and right-clicking but no luck.
You are correct about the downvoting should have just mentioned fictfact meets most of your requirements . Btw fictfact is limited to series only so if you like a particular author unless they release another book as part of series you won't be notified about it.
I think the biggest problem is that series information is not part of the standard metadata for books so you can not get information from isbndb etc. And have to manually curate it. Amazon has added series metadata to its listings but they usually don't have short stories and where they belong in the series. So I would recommend giving the ability to add books to a series to users etc to your app or website. With fictfact as the number of books and series has increased the people maintaining it need crowdsourced help in adding new books and series.

No, because you didn't enjoy the content either. Having the ads forced into your view is the cost of enjoying the content. So this is not a good analogy.
Craigslist is great design. I'll take that over what "UX experts" come up with any day.
There is a big difference between print and web: by the time you rip the ads out of the newspaper you have already made it to the ad statistics (“our newspaper sells X copies daily”). On the other hand, with an ad blocker an ad load is never recorded. In the first case, the publisher still makes money, in the second he doesn’t.
While I generally agree with you, I do not think control is the best route, but rather guidance. Oppressing/bottling high energy individuals is destructive on the long run even if it seems otherwise at the beginning. Directing this energy into a constructive path however is more beneficial to the individuals themselves as well as the communities they live in.
I can't wrap my head around how everyone is like "Yeah, overbooking happens, that's just the way it is". Why the hell is it legal? If I booked two clients on the same timeslot, collected cash from them in advance and then stood one up and offered him a fucking coupon, I'd have a court case opened against me the next day and I'd never find a client in the same city again. Why the hell do airlines still get away with it in the age of online payments?

That's crazy, how was security so lax that a physical connection was enough to access state systems? Surely you'd require some kind of staff login.

The Kremlin is a whole bunch of buildings, kind of like the Tower of London. It contains multiple palaces and churches, built over the course of ~400 years, in somewhat of a variety of architectural styles. What it looks like depends on which of those buildings you're looking at.
It mentions "removing a channel" and "banning unpopular opinions". But that's not necessary to appease advertisers. You just need to unmonetize those videos. And that's what Youtube's been doing as far as I know.

We use MemSQL and yes it's great, it's really meant as a data warehouse built for speed and realtime inserts/updates and queries.

Postgres has CStore today but even with included columnstore, it still isn't distributed which is one of the issues. Citus is looking into it though so maybe it'll all come together in a few years.
Things that require a GUI require you to have a separate X server running. WSL, as far as I know, does not support running X11. However, if you do have a Windows native X11 server running (like xming, for example) things like emacs and gvim seem to work. I haven't tried anything more intensive than those, though.
Most Linux distributions have to make a compromise between performance, easy of use, security, and more. In the end, you will have to do tuning, and that includes tuning for performance and security.

As one of the developers of Lynis, I can suggest picking up a auditors mindset. So just use the distribution you like the most, then become good in evaluating what can be improved. As you already discovered, automation is the key. A tool like Lynis will simplify that greatly: https://cisofy.com/lynis/

> Is option prices what I think of when I think "Stock Data"?

You may be thinking of simply stock prices or stock fundamentals (income, expenditures, that kind of stuff) but you may also be thinking of other things like sentiment or analyst opinions. There's a huge range of things you can look at. Options prices are certainly one kind of stock data though, they give valuable information like implied volatility (how much the market at a particular time expects the stock to move in a particular period in the then future).

If you're interested in stock data, Quandl (http://quandl.com) has a broad selection of the different kinds available (though you don't have to purchase there) and Quantopian (https://quantopian.com/) has some examples of how to use it.

To be clear though, options are not stocks.

A stock is a share of ownership of a company. You buy it, you sell it, that's it.

An option is a contract between you and another party that gives you the right but not the obligation to buy or sell a stock at a particular price for a certain amount of time.

Practical examples:

- I buy 10 AAPL stock at $100. I now own $1000 worth of Apple. AAPL's stock price rises to $110. I now own $1100 of AAPL stock, which I can sell and make $100.

- I buy a contract that gives me the right to purchase AAPL (an AAPL call option) for $100 (the "strike price" is $100) which expires in 30 days. This right is limited to 100 AAPL shares and I pay $500 for it. For the next 30 days, regardless the price of AAPL stock, I can buy 100 AAPL for $100 each. If the price of AAPL drops, I lose the $500 I paid for the rights. If the price of AAPL rises to the $110 from earlier, I can either buy 100 shares of AAPL for $100 and sell them immediately for $110, making $1000 - $500 (for the contract) = $500, or I can simply sell the rights to someone else and make the profit more cleanly.

This isn't meant to be an exhaustive course on how each security works, just an illustration of exactly how different they are, yet affect each other.
If there's hardware-accelerated video decoding for DRMed streams exposed to the guest OS then it should. That is if there's a x86 supporting APK for each one too.

MemSQL has full persistence and supports transactions. There is async lag to fsync in-memory data to disk, which is configurable, but obviously this is a trade-off with RAM based operations like any other database. It runs as a distributed cluster so it's faster and safer than typical single-node (with replica) installations.

For primary operational datastores, it's probably not a fit, but it's great for real time data warehouse needs.

VoltDB is on the other end of the spectrum and more exotic, designed for purely real-time in-memory SQL transactions, almost similar to in-memory datagrids like Apache Ignite/GridGain or Hazelcast.
Are they mandated to pay cash? I've heard from a few threads on reddit that many will pay in vouchers, a dozen $100 vouchers that can't be used together.
I often get frustrated when discussions about user interfaces in the context of native/non-native don't distinguish between 'skin' and 'ui'.

For the most part I think what people care about is that things work as they expect, which is primarily 1) placement of UI elements, and 2) interaction with/between these elements. If that's done right, nobody cares if the UI is flat, dark, light, or has a leopard print background.

Now I do understand that there's some overlap in ui/skin concerns, but the distinction still seems crucial to me.

For example, the web is clearly not consistent on the 'skin' of things. But I often know where to find things based on their location (header nav menu's, footer contact details, etc.), or general look (loupe for search, wide rectangle for inputs, some kind of wide rectangle with a doodad on the right hand side for a drop-down). Or a combination of placement and look (a search input field is an input field in the top right of a typical page).

Even lots of computer-challenged people I know seem to do pretty well in this regard.

But as you say, when it comes to interacting with elements, as long as the developer doesn't override 'native' behavior, a web-solution can be very native.

On the other hand, the vast majority of cross-platform native apps I use often look close to native, but their 'core', inputs, selects, text fields, and so one, often feel off.

Honestly, I much prefer a non-native looking app that uses native UI elements over an app that has an 'uncanny valley' native look that is slightly off and UI widgets that don't behave natively.
