That's a bit loaded, but I'll attempt to answer seriously:

Can you replace Ubuntu? Maybe, if you are OK with 14.04 LTS level support. Certain simple things straight up don't work -- you can't send a ping without an admin level windows shell (sudo wont do it either). You also won't magically get driver support for hardware that works in Linux, but not Windows (if you think this isn't a thing, try plugging in a random USB-to-something adapter without finding obscure, broken, or nonexistant drivers on Windows). If you just need access to some tools that only run on Linux, I've found WSL invaluable, so long as those tools are available on Ubuntu 14.04.

Can you replace Linux in general? Nope - I'm a 90+% Linux user for work and home, and neither Debian, Ubuntu, or its derivatives work for me, with the notable exception of some server and embedded applications. If you want a wide variety of up-to-date software, there is no replacement for something like Arch.
> are mandated by USDOT to pay you 4x the ticket price

In the case of United, if by "pay" you mean give you a voucher (or N vouchers of value 1/N of the total, only 1 of which can be used at a time) for travel on their airline, to be used in 1 year, not to be combined with other offers, yada yada... No wonder no one wanted to take them up!
> I wish someone would coordinate the recipes, instructions, and quantities from local ingredients

You might look into joining a CSA. I bought a 4-box trial for my parents as a gift and they were pretty happy with it. It's all local and comes packed in a single cardboard box with no plastic...about as ecological as you can get. The friend that recommended it to me claimed there was a forum site where people traded recipe ideas for how to use the items in the box.

My parents decided not to renew, but for a rather comical reason. They got in the habit of reusing the plastic bags they buy vegetables in to pick up after their dog. They realized if they continued to get their vegetables from the CSA, they'd have to figure out a different strategy for picking up poop.
Do not underestimate the American corporation's ability to believe they have a right to a profitable business model. This is a nation where municipalities are regularly stopped from building their own broadband.
We need a program allowing prisoners to serve their sentence as home arrest at foster homes of volunteers to isolate them from their pathological upbringing and socialize them with law-abiding citizenry. To eliminate possibility of unjust moral judgments and discrimination, obviously the inmates would get to choose their hosts and not the other way around.

I'm sure you would be happy to participate. Problem solved.
The world in 2017, when a large chunk of economy revolves around clicking an ad. So fucked up.
That word is actually from the word for "awl" and means "to (work with) awl". There are lots of phonological coincidences in languages, which is why the methodology I was hinting at is so important.
I wonder if there is another solution:

All large websites switch to canvas rendering (like Netflix already does). This provides scrape, adblocker, content filter, ... protection.

And of course it makes the internet completely unusable by anyone either blind or ...

You might even create a startup that makes a javascript web browser, that allows all these companies to get consistent rendering across all web browsers, prevent ad blockers from working, while enabling them to use all their current infrastructure as-is. This would work better because it would still enable ad-network providers to send their javascript to the end-user, so they can keep doing their little custom checks to verify if they're being scammed or not.

It appears the program provided an effective education.

It would be helpful to declare who you are. This form and this HN post does not make it clear whether this is coming from Kubernetes or a random person/company.
I think it comes from the type of people that think law and morality are the same, that breaking the law is immoral and that you are acting morally as long as you are within the letter of the law.
Try getting it to display fire or flame that isn't attached to a candle or birthday cake.
I'm working in media. We call editorial control "self-censorship".
The good thing about morale is that it doesn't have to be the same for different people. It's not an absolute value. You can live up to your high morale standards and watch ads (which sounds a bit odd). Other people think differently.

Other people like me think we are morally bound to ignore ads as much as possible because we think they destroy a healthy capitalism and are misused to track people and distribute malware. Therefore I use an ad-blocker.

But that's only a side note. In the internet your argument is invalid because I don't know in advance whether a website uses ads or not. To discover that I would have to visit that site without an ad-blocker and let them serve ads without warning. And that would be unacceptable.

The solution for that problem is the various websites either use paywalls or detect ad-blockers and don't provide content when one is in use. In this case we really have an agreement. If I turn off my ad-blocker I'm allowed to watch the content, otherwise I'm not.

But I never ever had the desire to see content which has been hidden behind an ad-blocker blocker.

I guess this can be easily fixed by flashing a gapps package on the guest Android image. That is if flashing stuff is actually supported.
I really wonder this too. I've known people who used daily contacts but would leave them in for multiple days at a time (and one was a swimmer). I've swam a lot with my contacts before as I'm mostly blind without my contacts and don't want prescription goggles. This article makes me a little more reluctant to go swimming with contacts but I throw them out every night.

Hardly anyone will pay for that kind of ad, because it can't be audited and you could just forge ad impressions.

I've seen this too but I don't think it's particularly valuable as it seems to base the prices on measured volatility, while the actual market prices them entirely differently. You can see in his chart at the bottom that the price diverges from real data by a full dollar at points and that's just for SPY, I'd be interested to see how it goes for something like VIX.
Really appreciate your self awareness. I come from a lower-middle class family. I sleep on a couch in a small crowded house with a 3y/o niece constantly screaming at the top of her lungs.

The libraries near me are all really just rec-centers, my uni is a 70min bus ride away, so having a place to just "study" is incredibly difficult.

I still manage, but I can only imagine what having one's own roon must be like and the time saved from travelling to and from school...such is life.

Thanks for the reply, puts into words a lot of what I've been thinking about lately.
> When they checked the login being used, they discovered an employee's credentials were being used on days he wasn't scheduled to work.
Babel actually started with the express goal of outputting human-readable Javascript. It obviously hasn't stayed that way. IMO, Typescript hasn't stayed that way either. Trying to shoot for a compilation target that is useable as source code is pretty foolish.

The nice thing about Flow is that the compilation step is nothing more than stripping out the typing syntax. It is ACTUALLY easy to get rid of. I will say that the tooling is way better in Typescript.
> When you suggest this is a broken model and content producers also deserve compensation, the answer is typically "not my problem," basically.

I hate ads. I hate that they track you. I hate that they waste data. But most of all I hate that they are annoying. I always use an ablocker and I don't care if you don't get paid because I didn't look at an ad.

I am still busy with my degree this year. (I am studying part time) But next year I want to start my own website. With a blog and a place to share my side projects.
Will I put ads on the website? Fuck no. In fact I will put up messages begging people to install adblockers if I detect that they aren't using one.

Just because I write some interesting code or article and then share it on the public internet, doesn't mean people now owe me money.
I don't deserve compensation for putting stuff on the internet, and why would anyone else? But if my employer didn't pay me I would be really pissed off. Because we have an agreement that I will write code for them and they will pay me for it.
I don't remember signing a contract with the whole internet saying that I will pay everyone who publicly shares some text or other media.

If someone is butthurt that they can't make a product/service/content valuable enough to sell it for money, but instead rely on advertisers for money, then that is their problem.

Do you think we all deserve to be paid for commenting on hackernews? Lots of people here write incredibly interesting and insightful comments. We all do it for free without complaining.

> if it's valuable and nonexcludable (usually isn't), then hey, you have a sale.

Which means now we need to have some kind of legal, international safeguard to protect against content thieves, who copy paywalled content and publish it themselves. Everyone loses in that scenario.
I tend to think framing in terms of (legal or moral) rights isn't the best argument. The debate needs to be about utility and interests.

People seem to think they exist in a vacuum. But now everyone is using ad blockers, and the dynamics have devolved to resemble the Greek tax system: "I'm not paying those taxes, they are too high" -> "We're not getting enough revenue, need to lower costs" -> "Why should I pay for the shitty service the government provides?" -> "We need to raise taxes, or close the schools" ->...

Stuff that would help:

– Publishers need to get their act together and offer netflix/spotify-style access

– Adtech needs a quality revolution

– Ad blockers need to evolve to do "smart blocking", where the tuple of (user/publisher/article/ad network/ad client/network condition) determines if an ad should be blocked, with a build-in mechanism to reward both quality content (by being more forgiving in the other dimensions) and quality ads (in terms of technology/security/interest to the user/intrusiveness)

– Users need to welcome such experiments with a modicum of goodwill and good faith, and a renewed willingness to differentiate. Right now, journalists cry themselves to sleep because even if you're just doing the crosswords at a French magazine, someone will try to stab you with your own pencil, yelling something about "Iraq" and "WMDs".

You don't actually need to use derogatory words at all to win the argument. In fact, your more likely to change a person's mind if you avoid personal attacks like 'dork' and 'neckbeard bullshit'.

So they were able to connect to the prison network, look through the state prison database using these computers and issue security passes to gain access to restricted areas.

I think the prison needs to get someone to look at the security of their network and applications.
Not true. Typescript does all kinds of transforms. Flow does nothing except catch type errors, and then it is simply stripped out. Nothing else in the code is touched at all.

I have the right to render your bits and bytes however I wish.

No you don't. Just because something is technically possible, even easy, does not mean you are entitled to do so.

Some bytes you are not allowed to render them at all (and BTW, how did you get them?).

Some bytes may not be transformed into other bytes so you are able to render them (and BTW, how did you obtain the key?).

Some bytes may not be rendered in front of audiences, only for personal use.

In general: those bytes come with a copyright and a license agreement. They are my arrangement of bytes. I could easily include an explicit HTTP header saying that you may only render these bytes with unmodified browser brand X version Y.Z (or brand A version B, or ...). That that is currently unwritten in the HTTP response does not make it a non-existent agreement.

If you do something else, you violate my copyright over that arrangement of bytes.
I had acanthamoeba in 2001.

You pretty much have to have a corneal abrasion (scratch) before introducing the eye to water. It's not something you're going to get randomly from taking a shower or swimming. However, wearing contacts regularly for the last twenty years, I tend to get an abrasion once every two years or so. I'm extra careful during these times..

In 2001, there were about 7 cases in the US per year. It took me 6 months of excruciating pain and three eye doctors just to diagnose it. Luckily the third doctor really knew what he was doing. He diagnosed it in about 2-3 visits, snuck me some non-FDA approved drops with chlorine in them, and got rid of the infection.

I had to do a corneal transplant and still can't see very well out of it - cloudy with an astigmatism too large to correct.

You can't block ads in Facebook's native mobile app.

Their communications are probably encrypted and their ads are probably served on the same connection as everything else. Which means that either now or in the future you won't be able to modify your /etc/hosts to solve this problem either (assuming you have a rooted phone or tablet of course).

The only option you'll have will be to crack Facebook's client and modify its behavior, which will be copyright infringement.

So how long do you think it will take for either (1) everybody moving to native apps where ads can't be blocked or (2) courts starting to rule ad blocking in browsers as being copyright infringement. After all, isn't opening a website just like installing an app? I don't see a difference really.

Don't get me wrong, I now have ad-blockers installed everywhere I can.

But let's not kid ourselves, you didn't have an implicit right for that content to begin with, by blocking ads you won't reward the good actors (i.e. GroundUp, featured in this article) and the future isn't bright.

Yeah, but Node child processes are actually separate OS processes, which behave quite differently from threads (higher overhead to spawn, separate memory). The same goes for web workers; they're more like daemon processes than different threads. So I guess this was just poor terminology in the article, not any new magic... :)

Microsoft cannot say it loves Linux until they launch their flagship products such as MS Office and MS Visual Studio on Linux. Until then, it's all fugazzi.

MS SQL Server on Linux was good progress.
maybe i'm reading it wrong, but a lot of the examples in section 4.3 look like one app inadvertently sending sensitive data to another app (in an intent object).

i.e. the receiving app is getting some sensitive data it isn't supposed to have but didn't ask for, and then handling it inappropriately (e.g. leaking it to a log).

> people don't want to pay

cough

rich people don't pay, poor people pay for them.

That's the base of the free internet model.

With the Tier1 ISP billing at 95th percentile, and ISP almost illimited subscription and the close to flat rate, the contribution of small internet users in volume is the biggest in proportion of revenues.

And with people like google not paying for their transit, it means someone has to pay. Who?

Every internet users.

Internet & phone are in all developed country a must have for administrative & job related tasks. In every country it is when you are poor a substantial cost, as well as computers.

For those who are growingly poor internet is expansive.

But for the happy few with latest generation computers internet is comparatively cheap.

Being rich is the art of making the poor pay for you.

It is not people don't want to pay, the poor cannot pay, and they are the biggest population.

Me I have an adblock not because I don't want advertisement, it is because my 2007 computers cannot load a modern web page under 15 seconds with ads enabled.

The modern economy is based on the redistribution of the money of the poorest to the richest achieve by (lack) of regulations where the strongest wins.

So, my point is there is no free champagne, someone has to pay, but I don't see why it should be the one not being able to buy a bier.

And call a cat a cat: commercial internet has not yet found a fair sustainable model.
And the arms race progresses to image-based ad blockers.
>from what I can tell this is from 4chan and gaming

I do not think so. Gaming and 4chan have been around a while, but this development is, as you say, relatively recent. I think there is some force that is new that promotes this curve.

One explanation is the widespread adoption and acceptance of the internet. Not so long ago, much fewer people had easy access to the web. Those that did often treated it with disdain, being mostly uninterested in it. At some point, people realized that the internet enabled them to freely speak their mind and associate with whomever they like to an unprecedented degree. Whereas before, people were limited by not wanting to distance themselves from friends and family, the internet enables them to lead a double life, with one part being a normal family man, the other being an internet pundit, freely spreading whichever vitriol they choose.

For these same reasons, I don't think this facet of internet culture will be so easily put away. To do so requires breaking some of the principles that make the internet what it is, primarily the ability to post whatever you want, even illegal content (copyright, cp). There is also the ability to join comunities from anywhere in the world, not just those local to you, that have some extension in real life. These functions are part of what people dreamed about when they fostered the internet and the web.

I think removing someone's advertising harms them to a point, but for many, it is a labor of love. They talk about the things they do because they truly enjoy those topics, and want to deseminate their views on it. If you cut off a revenue stream, they will continue posting, but perhaps scaled back due to needing a real job. Further, if their audience truly and unabashedly enjoys the content, they might be willing to fund the content maker through other channels, such as patreon or a similar websites. Cut off one revenue stream and two more pop up.

I don't know what the solution is. Cutting off advertising won't be enough. Destroying the internet as we know it might be needed, but I worry that this is going too far.
"Enjoy" is an interesting word to use there. That makes it akin to tipping, where if I read an article from the NY Times but don't think it was any good I don't have to see their ads.

I haven't seen anyone else make that argument, but I do enable ads on certain sites that I like so it's probably not wrong for a certain class of people.
Yep, while in pre-release they always just use the version number and that only happened to be similar to the actual product name in VS 2010, I think.

As far as I know, there are two definitions of mass:

(1) Mass is defined by gravitational interaction with other mass, F = G m_1 m_2 / d^2 . This would mean that a negative mass, by definition, repels positive masses and attracts negative masses.

(2) Mass measures resistance to acceleration, F = m a . By this definition, a negative mass would, if you pushed on it, accelerate toward you. That seems like the start of a nasty feedback loop. But, according to gilgoomesh's comment, that's what's happening here.
