The phrase 'public accommodation' has some very particular legal meanings that have nothing to do with content hosting.

Perhaps you are explicitly arguing that the legal framework of public accommodations should be extended to content hosting but you need to make that argument explicitly with full understanding of that framework and not by casually dropping that legal term into the discussion.

Going after 'identifiable groups of people' is phrased to sound terrible but doesn't seem to be what is happening. The policy changes are about content not content creators. Not arguing for or against the policies just pointing out that they aren't targeting content creators in a illegal discriminatory manner.

You may have a point about the rules changing but that is basic contract law. Nothing new there and in any case there needs to be a mechanism by which the hosting terms can evolve, they aren't immutable.
Is anyone here using this for *Nix traditional tools?

The term 'exotic matter' means... exotic forms of matter. There are quite a few concepts which fall under the category, and the only thing they share is that they're all, well, exotic.

Negative-mass matter certainly fits in the category, but 'negative mass' is still a correct description.
I believe they meant three hours per week for each hour of class. So if you have 6 courses, each with three hours of lecture a week, you'd spend 3x3x6=54 hours a week. That's still pretty rough but that's what happens if you need to study hard for 6 classes.
Or extremely specific advertising.

For several months, I saw no ads on AdSense except for those advertising the Vive. None whatsoever. I saw plenty of ads, they were just the exact same one with an attractive person doing some sort of dance in a headset and controllers.

So...okay, Google. I guess you've figured out that I'm interested in technology, graphics, games, that sort of thing? Is this all that you've got? It's creepy in that it makes me wonder WHEN you're listening to me, not if.
I am, perhaps mistakenly, under the impression most people who travel know that late bookings as well as cheap tickets are the first to get bumped if need be (besides the poor stadbys)

But what's the upside? Will this website EVER net Stripe a (figurative) DIME after paying 2 salaries? I think not. Maybe it will entice a few dozen new account signups per month. Who knows.

"But with ever-growing complexity and volume of the infrastructure, the expertise required and time to manage these things are in short supply. Teleport is mainly the opinionated and simplified way to deliver SSH best practices."

We're talking about the ssh command here, right ? And associated key generation and config files ? Are there people who are "experts" at that ? Like, the same way there are people who are "experts" at can openers and chip clips ?

"Additionally, it has a few neat usability features (like a nice Web UI) and directly addresses the use case of managing the infrastructure that's not yours (MSP use case) where you can have multiple clusters owned by different organizations where you can set up cross-cluster trust via certificate authorities (CA)s [1], well... that's just what's on top of my head."

I regret that I have but one upvote to give.

Funny how much of HN is happy to see people dismantle social contracts or break the law to "create value" in startups, always justified with the idea "people want a thing", but shit bricks if someone wants to spend more time worrying about the UX of an app than micromanaging bytes of memory.

Side related question- has this going outside of standards with such things as Typescript been harmful? I mean, standards move slowly, but your question raises an interesting point - why didn't we just extend actual Javascript to have typing supported? Have we given up on advancing the core language in such regards?

That is, you can execute an ssh client command, over ssh. The '-t' option is required.

I use it on my laptop and am generally very happy with it, although I don't do all that much technical work there and certainly wouldn't want it to replace my primary workstation. (I'd be dearly sad if I had to give up xmonad.)

But it's made my laptop a far more pleasant place to get work done if I need to do so, and generally works far better than I was expecting it would. I no longer feel compelled to run a VM on my laptop to get real work done.

Is it really censorship or are we seeing the effects of the end of net neutrality with 0 rated services. I'm wondering whether advertisers are using placement as an excuse to try to weasel out of long term ad contracts if youtube's numbers are taking a huge hit to 0 rated video services favored by the carriers? Would you want your ad dollars trapped in a service in decline with long term contracts or try to find some way to get out of it even if its some excuse about a couple ad placements to find a way to break the contract and free those ad dollars for 0 rated carrier favored services?
Yeah but no one seems to be making anything but web apps. I guess I come from a time just before this but I honestly can't understand how people think these things are better than their native counterparts.

A Note of Consideration to All Developers
And Google tried that with Google Contributor [1], which they shut down mid-January, promising a replacement.

I was on that program, paying $10 a month. They refunded anything that was left over. IIRC think they habitually refunded $5+. They also showed stats, and IIRC the websites I frequented the most frequently (Ars Technica, multiple times a day), still received only pennies. That's how cheap ads are.

I started being a subscriber to some of those websites after.

Despite teasing a Contributor replacement "early 2017", nothing has been announced yet.

MySQL uses logical replication, and traditionally this is statement-based logical replication -- log of raw SQL write queries, including arbitrary SQL comments embedded, which can be used for any purpose. I'm not sure if Postgres has something similar? (entirely possible it does, if so I retract my earlier comment!)

As a contact lens wearer for almost 20 years, I wasn't aware of this. I regularly swim and shower with lenses in my eyes.

I'd really like to understand what role the lenses play in the infection occurring. Presumably an eye without a lens could also get the infection from a water source?

The adblocker can block download of easily identifiable URLs, so if your images look like http://my.coolwebsite.com/ad/jdhe73yd.jpg, the adblocker will refuse anything from http://my.coolwebsite.com/ad/ or similar.

Also, it can stop rendering, so if your ad has a custom CSS class, element name, etc then it will refuse to render that element (and children) even if it downloads the image.
You should NEVER rinse your contacts with tap water.
The customers do care, they just don't know how to express it or who is at fault, they just know their "computer is slow and might have a virus".
Also, to be fair, this is a borrowed and now incorporated term in the English language. If we were using Robot the way we use Robot in English in Czech, then I can see the complaint having more validity --but here it's like complaining that borrowed French words don't have the same meaning in English as they do in their native French. Or us complaining about how English words incorporated into Japanese[1] have weird idiosyncratic and unique meanings some with great distance from the original English. Imagine some learned Japanese going about how those words are used improperly and don't map perfectly to what they mean in English.

It used to be the case that all content was Hollywood or newspaper created. But now, 99% of the content I am using is discussion threads such as this one, Wiki articles, arXiv papers and blogs.

From the people, to the people! I don't even need movies and articles - well, I still keep a 1% interest in them, but that's all. I am sorry about them but they are so derivative and dishonest at times that I can't watch them any more.

At the end of the day, this is less about stats and more to do with process. Overbooking happens. So do delays and shitty experiences with airlines. We get it.

The difference was that United had many options at their disposal and chose one of the least humane methods in a civilized society.

Furthermore, the leaked internal memo by the CEO shows a clear lack of empathy and I see a lot of similarities between what happened on the plane and the PR aftermath. In both cases, instead of choosing alternative choices that would come with some cost to the company(increasing the bounty to give up the seat, apologizing profusely for the incident) in exchange for rectifying a situation, they doubled down on bad choices (violent removal, written accusations against the passengers behaviour).

Honestly, this would be non-story had they just upped the compensation to anyone interested in the plane.

And on a side note, it's kind of sad how one of humans greatest technological achievements, the airplane, is associated with one of the least liked experiences in North America, namely going through airports, security, and dealing with airlines.
> They will slim down after net neutrality is over.

Net neutrality - in regards to any actual implementation - existed for about five minutes. The supposed benefits were to be long term. The short term impact was next to nothing.

> - why are people writing this stuff in Java. It's so slow and you don't have as much control on memory. Write it in C.

When did we move on from this stage? Desktop java is a failure for good reason. Electron is an order of magnitude slower again.

Most widely used desktop apps are still written in c/c++.
I've come to associate the term with individuals who have undiagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder. It's the only good explanation I've seen for why they're so easily offended, and also why they have practically no bounds when it comes to punishing people they've determined to be on the "wrong" side.
I assume they trap bacteria to the cornea, and reduce the tear-flow that normally reaches the cornea you get with each blink.
those are embeded most adblockers do not block those.
I'm willing to concede that that 'censorship' has always been an expansive term. Perhaps my perspective is just a personal idiosyncrasy.

But that is really ancillary to my point that in order to communicate clearly about the public policy issues involved it is important to avoid the generic use of the term because that obfuscates the arguments making it harder to explore the issues.

In particular I think that in the US context, 1st Amendment proscriptions regarding freedom of speech and of the press are often implicitly assumed to be reasons why Google, for example, shouldn't be able to have a restrictive editorial policy. The negative aspects of censorship in the 1st Amendment sense are misleadingly attached to censorship in the editorial sense.

Sure it is possible to talk about 'censorship' in the 'general sense' but that is uninteresting to me and I would argue isn't very helpful in understanding the distinct aspects of different types of 'censorship'.
Somebody need to feed the robot overlords with more dirty body parts.

joke aside, Adobe should not be worried just yet. It seems to be just a image tagging service or a terrible drawing application. When I draw a face of a cat it suggests a body of a cat. When I draw a rocket is suggests a glass of vine and so on.

The QuickDraw game was fun and a good idea, but basing a drawing application on "topics" from that game seems like a bad choice.
I agree. I follow a stricter eating window of 23/1 where I eat all my calories in about 1 hour. The benefit of keto is you do not have sugar crashes, and if you are careful with caffeine you can eliminate those crashes as well. A constant supply of energy is wonderful.
I also lift weight at the end of the fasting window, before I eat, and have not experienced any issues. I have been keto for a few years though, so I'm very keto adapted. My carb intake is less than 5g per day (I don't eat plants).
What an ignorant statement. Vinegar is safe to drink... but I don't think you'd want to rinse your contact with it. And maybe educate yourself before posting such a coment. The amoeba that causes this can indeed live in tap water...

it is not the same security context between web/browser apps and desktop apps wether there is a VM involved or not.

A browser can load remote payload (not under user control) that can then exploit browsers flaw, Flash AVM2 flaw, etc.

On the desktop the user run a local exe/app which has de facto "full system access".

This example is brought up all the time - "I just bought something which I buy every few years at most, and now I'm getting ads for it after I bought it".

Obviously it's usually completely ineffective. BUT I think it might make a purchase correlation score go up. Imagine that no human working for the company buying the ads is fully understanding what the correlation score means, and they are effectively using or subscribing to a machine learning model that is trying to increase the correlation score. And they're seeing the score go up.

I'm no expert in the ad targeting ecosystem, and I'm sure I'll be told that's not what it does. But I'm more familiar with systems software, databases, distributed services and such, and I've seen many things that didn't really do what they were supposed to do. It just takes a lot of smarts and a lot of focus, such as Aphyr does with distributed databases, to show that they don't actually do what they claim, due to some mundane bugs or subtle design flaws.

I think there's a good chance that the complex ad targeting ecosystem is just fooling advertisers into thinking it works, without actually working.
Even though I work with Typescript daily, Typescript feels like a stop-gap measure until ES6 /ES.Next take hold. Dart feels like the future - given Fuchsia + Flutter + Android apps in Chrome, etc. - if they can just work out some of the rough edges(e.g. isolates with Flutter) and make it more harmonious with JS/DOM - let's face it: We are stuck with the JS/HTML/CSS stack for the foreseeable future.

I've always been fearful of correcting my -7 short-sighted vision with anything other than spectacles. Probably started while I was working as an electrical engineer at a steelworks and being told of the risks of watching a high intensity electric arc from welding or a high voltage electric contact break and then inadvertantly peeling away your cornea removing a contact lens because of the fluid between the two drying out.
A large problem here is that ads only support one type of content: low-cost and large-audience.

Content ads, more or less, offer a fixed amount per impression. Sure, you might get a higher ad price for certain audiences than others, but this is related to topic, not the quality or cost of content.

If you only make a fixed amount per impression, the only business model low-cost content targeting a large audience. High quality (aka high cost) content, with a narrow interest audience needs a different model.

That different model is probably charging your reader. However, the moment you set up a paywall, the content disappears. Search engines will not suggest the content, feed readers can't access it, suggestion interfaces won't suggest it, etc. The content might as well not exist.

We don't need micropayments. We need a model where paywall content can be discovered. Systems whereby paywall content can be accessed by aggregators who then can suggest/search/deliver the content, but will not give the content to users without payment.

The biggest reason is that it's asynchronous. Not everything needs an answer right now this instant, and in order for there to be an instant reply, someone has to be on the other end of the keyboard and continual interruption is a way to get nothing done real fast.
As a salaried worker, I've been allowed to take a half day to deal with something ridiculous like that too, on the basis the hours get made up.

Things 3 Is Coming in May
When I was a kid, my dad used to rip the advertisements out of magazines as soon as they came in the mail. That's a practice I've carried on, despite getting far few magazines these days... My family also used to mute the advertisements on TV, though I don't think any of us still watch it.

So when I see people claiming that adblockers are immoral, it always gives me a good chuckle. Is ripping the ads out of a magazine immoral too? Is the mute button on my remote a ethnical crime against poor hapless television companies?
Emphasis added?
Are you saying that building a web version and two (or five) native versions of an application is equivalent to building a single JS codebase and having it just run? It certainly sounds wonderful to learn new tools, but how does that stack up from the engineering (cost-benefit) side?
That would make sense. In which case the real risk might be from rising the lens and then inserting it. Getting exposed to water when already inserted in the eye (ie. shower or swimming) might be less risky, unless the water somehow penetrates under the lens.

Anyway, this is a good PSA.
Is a voting ring defined by people being friends, in a similar geolocation, voting at a similar time, voting together consistently historically, or what? In other words, what distinguishes a voting ring from simply a group of users with similar interests or a small niche community?
> People definitely want to watch Uber burn as some have forever, but something seems to have shifted

Is it really as dramatic as all that? Just seems like ragging on uber is 'a viral topic' right now. Likely thanks to the couple of articles this past while that've no doubt made the rounds on FB/etc.

Once it's "old hat" people will go back to business as usual, albeit uber's steadily increasing prices and myriad other issues mean people'll always have that negative aftertaste (and possibly switch to other services or cutting back on ridesharing for a while)

Waves of hate for companies are nothing new; not saying Uber's not going to have enduring hate too but I don't think this is anything "different" than what I'd've expected. Just look at United right now.
Don't be absurd. You wouldn't rinse your contacts with Coca-Cola either.
People have gone to the prison in the past solely because of the color of their skin or because of their religion. People today go to prison just for possessing a plant or criticizing their head of state. Let's not pretend that being in prison is anything other than a moral judgement rather than an indication of someone's character. It just makes it easier to dehumanize prisoners ("they deserve it") and harder for them to reintegrate ("they must have been a bad person to get into prison"). It's the same attitude where when someone does something drastic, people who knew them will say to the news "I never expected them to do such a thing" or "they were such a sweet person". It denies that we all have the potential to be criminals depending on societies POV and our own situation.
I think that in addition to this, they reduce oxygen in the environment. The level of oxygen in an environment greatly influences what can grow there.

No. That is in all caps and bold on the bottle. Baush+Lomb Boston Advance cleaner.
Right. But it is a possible mechanism that has nothing to do with the current thickness of the atmosphere or distance to the sun. Once upon a time, Venus wasn't so bad either.
