I disagree that adblockers are theft and that the comparison is accurate.

Stores do indeed account for a small amount of theft in their budget in the way of security and special procedures, and also for actual theft. Precautions are taken, security personnel and procedures are evaluated, and there's a cost/benefit analysis on such situations. Living abroad in certain countries, it's no unusual to see even a small corner shop have a prominently displayed security personnel standing at the front just keeping an eye on things on top of an array of security cameras across the store. It's a cost of business that physical stores take, and it has an impact on their public perception, and that's a choice the store owners have to make; public perception, or the cost of theft. If websites feel that strongly about ads, then they should make it clear - an adblocker is an indication that people don't want ads. The reason could be as simple as "they're annoying" to "they're intrusive privacy wrecking tools of the devil", but it's a response to the complaint "these ads are annoying." Advertisers have very simple and low cost solutions to this; they can ask for whitelisting, they can ask to turn off the adblocker, they can use the adspace that is blocked to offer an ad-free alternative, or they can just not serve the page, something I wish more would do. Yes, such a position may harm the websites readership, but it's better than the alternative.

As for it being theft, I disagree as ads on a website are basically a unilateral agreement that I have no agency in. Making it a condition for viewing the site, whether it's a spoken or unspoken contract, means that we are in some sort of arrangement - your content for my eyeballs and privacy. I don't know what's on your page before I load it, and titles being what they are for articles, it's even harder to know if it's something I want to see. A single paragraph summary of an AP posting isn't really worth me disabling the adblocker. A conspiracy theory style rant on such a posting isn't worth my time either, regardless of the agenda. A list that is basically just copy/pasted from wikihow with some stock photos added isn't worth it, and so on. If the requirement for your page is I must watch ads, then politely let me know before you spam me with ads so I can make the decision as to whether I want to view the content or not. I have the adblocker on because I specifically don't want ads; the risk outweighs the reward in most cases. If the site operators feel that I shouldn't see the content with an adblocker on, I'm fine with that. That's their offer, and I respect their wishes. I just want website operators and advertisers to respect my wishes instead of trying to circumvent it, or flat out lie to me about why they want me to unblock ads. I don't have an obligation to view ads because I clicked on a link that I had no idea of the contents of. The agreement between an advertiser and a site isn't any of my business, and if they want to make it my business, that's fine, but they need to be upfront about it. Removing my agency in the matter is not a way to win me over as a repeat visitor.
One party state? Louisiana historically has been fairly left leaning. Democrat governor and Democrat senators/congress. Recently that went conservative with Jindal, but I'd hardly call the region one party. With the exception of South Louisiana, most of it and Arkansas (exception of liberal little rock) are in the bible belt, so things tend to be very old school (votes tend to go red).

Religion wise, the South is mostly protestant with the exception of Catholic south Louisiana.
This looks almost good enough. I love the form factor, and the interface looks good. The remaining issue which needs to be solved for something like this to take off is the responsiveness issue. Just because I'm using e-ink doesn't mean I'm going to tolerate slow transitions, or delay in writing on it. I want it to be what it is, but much faster, and with way better (Surface-like) pen responsiveness. I watched the video and noted that page transitions were better than my Paperwhite, but still jarring, and their was obvious delay from when the pen strokes occurred and when the writing showed up on the screen. I know these issues are hard ones to solve with e-ink, and in a svelte form factor, but I suspect eventually someone will nail it. And that's when I'll buy one. I do vastly prefer reading on a high resolution e-ink screen. It's just soothing on the eyes.
People end up in prison for a reason.

Though how I wish it wasn't so.
Normally one would make an apples to apples comparison of the average of arrested people in both populations, instead of trying to include the people who weren't arrested for reasons I'm not at all clear on.
They could use Windows Linux Subsystem.
Honestly, I won't use an ad-blocker if the ads weren't so creepily targeted and so annoyingly pervasive. Hell, I don't even mind looking and clicking on some ads if they are not intrusively shoved down my throat.
I really hope we find a way to distribute payment for quality content in a better way.

Our platform Snapzu (similar to Reddit) allows tribe leaders to earn a 55% revenue split when their referred members buy premium (our version of Reddit gold.)

This was recently added with the launch of our "blog enhancement suite" as explained in this explainer video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTvWM-kjXSQ

TLDR: You can start/run a community (like a sub-reddit), embed it on your blog/website, and earn money from your referrals (your members.)
I always allowed the text ads to go through. They are the least intrusive, least dangerous ads for the longest time. I found them generally relevant.
> By contrast, Southwest—which has been taunting United over the Dr. Dao incident—has a slightly lower rate of overbooking than the other airlines

I get the feeling that this is missing the point

> Like it or not, about 40,000 people a year are kicked off planes against their will. Some of them were standby passengers who knew this might happen. Some weren't. Given those numbers, the interesting thing isn't that United had to remove one of these folks by force. The interesting thing is that apparently it's never happened before.

> It hasn't happened while cell phones were recording the whole thing, anyway

Did this person even watch the video? I seriously doubt regular instances of violent deplanings wouldn't be a point of pop culture by now if "against their will" always ended with a man being dragged bleeding off a plane
Your point was valid 20-30 years ago, but not anymore. Not when our bubbles are so largely defined by what we see online.

These companies with all the eyeballs are now able to exert an influence on people's lives in a way that companies rarely have been able to do in the past (barring media, which the censorship claim was a bit deal).

So it is that nowadays censorship on something like youtube has become a big deal.
Twist it however you like, but just saying things like they're a fact does not an argument make. Making your case without accusations would be a good place to start.
Seeing the logo and the sign in button overlap on the mobile page on my LG G4. Gets fine when it shrinks as I scroll down.
Why am I not able to access the link? Is the tool live?
Ask HN: Google search PNG question
On a Google search results page in developer tools it has this .png file (www.google.com/images/nav_logo242.png)

And I have been wondering two things. 1. how do they use different parts of a single png in different parts of the web page? And does the checkered background of the png mean it's transparent?
"As for lobbying, you're going to have to point me to the lawyers lobbying against trial law on an equal footing with the trial lawyers lobby; I wasn't aware that AAJ had any serious competition anymore than the NRA did.
"

For starters, the association of corporate counsel, the institute for legal reform (which is the US chamber of commerce's legal lobby arm), and the US chamber of commerce.

The ACC has 34k+ members, which is about as many as, for example, the national association of criminal defense attorneys.;
Glimmer.js: What’s the Deal with TypeScript? – Medium
I'd much rather have the next few lines from whatever book I'm reading. Might as well replace it with something worth while
There are laws against stealing, they aren't "unwritten".
I think it'd be wrong to hire a dude to clip out all the ads before I open the paper in the morning. I think it'd be wrong to mod my TV and car radio to change the channel when an ad starts playing.
Except that Youtube's position is that they will host anything, of any quality, unless it crosses one of their red lines.

Whereas NYT will only publish stuff of high quality.
Let's not forget that presence on YouTube likely increases viewer retention. Being part of a channel eco-system where viewers subscribe to multiple channels gives higher retention for all channels.

Note. YT did cultivate an entire market of independent media published as subscribe-able channels of videos. It's no surprise moving is hard.
> You can embrace and enjoy the change or whine and complain, but it will happen. Better to enjoy the ride.

Yup, I whined and complained about "hackers" (you mean crackers!!) for a long time until I realised it was futile.
Presumably Microsoft is allowed to use Windows wherever they please ;)
"And then I realized that we have a whole generation of devs that have no idea what IRC is or how to use it."

It's not a generational thing - it's a "lifer" vs. "non-lifer" thing.

Some people are coding with computers because it's an exciting, lucrative career with great benefits!

Other people are coding with computers because they can't imagine doing anything else, and would do it for free if IT wasn't central to business in the 21st century.
38% of Teens Watch Netflix Every Day; More Than YouTube and Cable TV
I can't upvote this enough. Your tech stack will be obsolete even though the replacement will be mostly the same and possibly worse. Looking at it differently, imagine being a common lisp diehard starting in the 80's. Every 5 years you look around for something better and mostly anything would be a step back. Your dog died, your kid is in college, you're middle aged, Perl, VB...etc have all come and gone and you're still using lisp lol.
After using types in Haskell, types in Elm also feel like a step backwards.
Thanks for reporting, looking into it right now.
Security issue reported via email to nick@. Hope that's the right contact.

PS. Do you have a bug bounty program? ;)
I, for one, love the idea of advertisers showing some backbone.

About freaking time.
Are advertisements themselves moral?

How can you debate the finer points of whether accessing a website and rejecting ads is moral or not, when you haven't built a moral case for urging and tricking people into buying stuff that they don't need?
Last I checked they only offered 85% discounts for non-profit teams. Has this changed?
Seriously. Is the author trying to claim that getting knocked out and a bloody lip is par for the course or even, i don't know, has EVER happened in any of these 40,000 yearly instances?
Yeah I saw that. That's brilliant. First thing is getting people thinking about getting money, so they are already primed, fantasizing about it. Then the hint about "Delta will pick the lowest bid first". Those interested already are willing to play but now have to think of others outbidding them so they lower the bid. And lastly and most importantly, it lets people who never want to participate (such as well, doctors who have to be there for their patients) not participate.
Rip Any DVD with DVD Ripper
Do you also think it's wrong to change the channel when an ad starts playing on TV, or to turn the volume down when an ad starts playing on the radio?
They will slim down after net neutrality is over. But they'll still be user-hostile.

Ads are about tracking. The fact that you might see the ad is what we call "langiappe" where I come from.

If everyone disabled third-party cookies right now, networks would not be able to easily aggregate browsing profiles. And everything else --- the things you actually care about --- would still work.

Of course, then attention would just turn to the ISP's, who can now sell that information directly.
Your argument boils down to "I feel entitled to something so I'll take it."

I call it as I see it and am not falling for, "I didn't sign anything. I'm just going by what I signed up for years ago."
Can this be used to run Netflix, HBO Go, etc on Linux?
I encourage all of my competition to allow access to relay to critical internal things with only SSH based authentication on a bastion/proxy, and nothing else.
Well, IT and software and engineering are all _hard_ domains where it's well known that it'll be 1) hard work, and 2) hard work, and 3) how likely is it that they'd be able to create the next Google or Facebook. I think between the slope of the skill acquisition curve and the sense that everything's (or will be) done before by these huge success stories, kids just don't see a gap for them to fill there. It's really hard for them to imagine that Google (or any of the current hot properties) will have its day, like IBM or AOL, and then fade into irrelevance. So they can't connect the hard work to making the next big thing.
> tricking people into buying stuff that they don't need

This tells me all I need to know. If this is your stance on advertising, I don't know what to tell you.
I believe PageRank is irrelevant to Google Books
Yes. See Haar Basis on page 4 of http://www.fourierandwavelets.org/FSP_v1.1_2014.pdf
That link doesn't work for me, but:

1. CSS's background-position, probably.

2. Dependent on your browser; if you're using Google Chrome: Yes.
"If I log in at home and forgot out log out at work, I need another username."

You don't log into irc from your work or your home or your anything.

You run screen in your shell account and log into irc once and never log in again.

Christ - do we need a refresher course here in how to use the Internet for the incoming freshman class of 1994 ?
Sure.
These are lawyers who work, on average 2200-2500+ billable hours a year.
That's billable.
As in, if you tracked your time in ten minute increments, only the time directly spent working is billed to a client.

So if you take an hour for lunch, go to the bathroom, take a coffee break, etc, none of that counts.
Nor does commuting, hanging out on hacker news, reddit, waiting for compiles, reading legal updates or general correspondence.

2200 billable hours a year comes out to roughly:

With a half hour commute you are "working" from
7:30am to 8:30pm Monday-Friday
And 9:30am-5:30pm three Saturdays a month

• With a one hour commute you are "working" from
7:00am to 9:00pm Monday-Friday
And 9:00am to 6:00pm three Saturdays a month

Assuming you take one hour for lunch, one hour for dinner and 4 15 minute breaks, and bill all other time

2500 billable hours a years means you work another 300 billable hours, which comes out to working all sundays 10-5pm as well.

Engineers aren't anywhere near this productive in the hours they do work :)
Somehow I doubt C++'s built-in object system will allow you to create classes (yes, classes, not objects) and/or alter their vtables at runtime. (I know, vtables are an implementation detail. You still get the idea.)
I've gone, and continue to go, both ways simultaneously. They put a lot of effort into creating awesome experiences to bring developers on board. They also run a business that caters to clients who need "enterprisey" stuff backwards compatible with COBOL.NET or whatever and try to push that along with the good stuff. So it goes. I can't complain too much.
This Linux Tool Helps You to Monitor Your Network Traffic Graphically
No. I also don't think it's wrong to navigate away from a website when it loads an ad I don't like.
Why securing investment can be a challenge for female entrepreneurs
Can you clarify what you are driving at with these questions? First off, a lot of people prefer hosted source repositories other than github (e.g. hub.darcs.net, gitlab.com, My Own Private Server). Github naturally imposes various limitations on their "free" plans.
To me this sounds like a list of where the money will be in the future. Be the people who figure out how to solve for the supply issue and you'll be rich. Figure out how to construct houses with less labor, build automated mowers and lawn maintenance equipment, etc.
I read newspapers without looking at the ads. I use highways and public transportation without looking at the billboards. I don't see how it's any different.

I would say it should be arguably illegal to resell content with ads removed, but how something is rendered in my brain or inside the confines of my home is upto me to decide. There's nothing illegal about ripping out the ad pages before reading a magazine at home.
Small nitpick, and if you want some unsolicited feedback on that site: the GIF that shows a user using the site goes super slow and it would be a lot more engaging if the user typed faster.

Although I don't know how much I can blame this on connection problems on my end, it looks like it takes five seconds or so to type "Test Tester", when in my opinion it should take only one.
Thanks for the paper link. Fun to see it show up on HN. I did my PhD in this area and am familiar with the Engels group (one of my papers is cited by theirs).

You're correct that this is no ordinary fluid, but observing "negative mass" type behavior is a nice find (a theory paper about this came out just recently). There is a massive amount of work being done in this area. The Engels group did a nice job of presenting a paper that captures some of the progress in the field and the broader impacts of the work.

I must commend the article for doing a good with the PR side of things... other physicists would have done the same work and buried it in an obscure language that would have drawn zero interest.
You've "read" wrong. The NT kernel has seen major changes up through and including W10, including focusing on power management and efficiency, improving modularity, and memory use.

It seems like your comment was meant to troll, but in the odd chance you're interested, you can follow a lot of these changes and the decisions behind them where Microsoft documented the process on the old Engineering Windows blog, and well as more recently at the main Windows blog itself.
That was a good read. I especially liked the mention near the end of hybrid login and deep networks.

EDIT: I looked on YouTube for videos of the panel discussions and couldn't find any. Any links to panel videos!
"A better IRC client isn't going to provide chat history."

That's not even wrong.

United Airlines is using a paid reviewer on the AppStore, BigFoot777
This is such a manufactured controversy. Most modern advertisements are based around audience rather than content. If brands are so uncomfortable with the content their customers are consuming perhaps they should consider either new customers or new products.
It's more growing pains. Advertisers are starting to better understand the digital space so will hopefully concentrate their efforts and dollars on those creating premium video (like Kurzgesagt). Youtube could help the case by adjusting their recommendation algorithms ... watch one weird video and your recs are ruined.
And likely elder abuse.

It changes on a whim. Like anything google, some people are probably still seeing 2 months because they are in some bucket or something. Who knows?

Building on google stuff is as risky as building on apple's.
Is that the same kind of phenomenon we see with words/phrases like Sharing Economy, Fake News, Throwing Shade?
Rate is optimized for very large rules sets, but performs poorly with large working data memories.
The selling price seems very different from 'revenue per month' though.
But you eventually go back to the TV show, or turn the volume back up, having skipped the ads, no?
Arrr! Let's block those ads to Davey Jones, savy.
I'm not getting at anything. I'm genuinely curious.

Personally, I self-host everything on my personal www homepage.

If I did not self-host everything, I assume I would put it up on github, right ?
How is it "distinctly different"? The fact that you "lost the battle" to define it rigidly usually means that you couldn't provide a sufficiently compelling argument that it should have been. For instance, if the state, through asymmetric regulation, allows a platform to become a monopoly, and the platform engages in political censorship, then it IS government sponsored.

It's stupid to restrict your definitions by intent. Treat the restriction of information as the problem itself, rather than the fact that it was done with any specific motive.
> Like it or not, about 40,000 people a year are kicked off planes against their will. Some of them were standby passengers who knew this might happen.

Well at least we have numbers and pretty graphs.
You've just got to dream bigger. Figure out how to do it better than the traditional model of either 1) doing it all yourself, or 2) hiring cheap labor to do it for you. And got God's sake, hire some analytics help so you understand how much help you need, what you can afford to pay, how much demand you've got (and when), etc. But yeah, I hear you: the six years I worked at the airport back in college were some of the best working days of my life (I worked at a private FBO). You're outside all the time, moving, physical active... You see sunrises and sunsets, work in the rain, snow, and scorching heat. And you mentally and physically feel much better than being chained to a desk.
Okay, question on ad blockers: So far I have not tried to use one. And my Web site for my startup, to be ad supported, has not gone live yet.

But, what if: What if my Web server sends the actual ads, as JPG, GIF, WEBM, etc. files instead of just URLs to ad servers at some ad network? Then will an ad blocker still work?
Who said it wasn't a concern? It is a concern but the nature of the concern is entirely different for editorial control vs. legal proscriptions.

Your response is a nice example of the problem I was pointing out. You are conflating lots of different concerns by assuming that 'censorship' as an unqualified term accurately expresses the particular nuances of the issue you are concerned about.

I'm just arguing for clarity in communication. Acting as if Google's editorial choices and speech codes at private universities and content filters on library computers and government efforts to squelch speech are all adequately summarized by the word "censorship" is harmful to clarity in communication.
