No you won't because that's ilegal. An advertisement must be clearly understood as such (at least in EU) and in fact (for instance) now the channels in here are actually having to tell you that you are about to see advertisements.

So, no, we won't have AI tuning the advertisements so that they can't be catch by software like this one because that means it also wouldn't be catch by humans and that a very big no.

I can see this as a paradigm change in the internet it's true, and it's hard to see the full reprecursions of this all.

Then again, I think that if we get back to sane advertisements in web pages, that are just a couple of lines of text clearly marked as such (like Google ads used to be), then people would be ok not using an ad blocker in those cases. The thing is, the marketing companies just pushed it too far...
Yuck. This whole thing is a massive failure, and will always be a massive failure. New Zealand does not need to 'court tech talent'. New Zealand has a net exodus of trained IT professionals, and the reason for that is low wages. That's the simple reality.

So what do companies that are starved for people do? They don't raise their wages, as the market would dictate. They make plenty of money, they COULD raise them. No, instead they just lobby the Government to put software engineering on the rubbish that is the 'skills shortage list', the biggest scam around. Then the Government makes it almost trivial for people to immigrate here if they can claim to be a software engineer, and suddenly there's no problem: plenty of supply.

The net result is New Zealanders go and work in the U.K. or the U.S., and are then replaced with Indians who come to work here in New Zealand. That's a stupid way of doing things. The skills shortage lists should be abolished and those companies should actually raise their wages if they want to keep graduates and experienced developers in NZ, and attract actual talent (as opposed to poorly paid immigrant workers and people coming in on student visas, getting internships and then getting jobs here).

I know that this is HN and I'll almost certainly get banned for saying this, but it's quite right that Peter Thiel's bullshit citizenship has created an uproar in New Zealand. He's someone that has made money, like every other billionaire in existence, through exploiting other people, and then has turned around and used that money to fund meaningless crap startups and is now buying his way into small countries.

New Zealand legalised gay marriage well before the US did. We are a very liberal country, both economically and socially - not in the sense that Americans think that word has, but in the actual literal meaning of the word 'liberal' - and we don't appreciate the Government expediting the citizenship application of the sort of person that would donate to Donald Trump.

Anyway, the only thing Rod Drury wants is more workers, more labour, less wages, less costs. He's a businessman.

Maybe b/c Google doesn't have as strong lock-in/moat as traditional monopolies? There's nothing keeping common users from fleeing Google's search and platforms and using alternatives. Advertisers may have to stick with Google b/c it gets the most eyeballs, but there's nothing locking in those eyeballs to Google other than that Google executes well (and not even on everything, they've had plenty of failures).

Android, search, email, and web video have multiple competitors, little user lock-in (effective advertiser lock-in yes, but the advertisees can easily go elsewhere). Google Social Network essentially failed, Google AWS is nowhere near as preferred as Amazon AWS, etc.
Given how common it is for members of Congress to become mega millionaires over a few decades on a job that pays ~$200k/yr, I wouldn't trust them in this capacity.

Compiler backends are another topic that can really extends one's knowledge of their hardware. You end up having to learn a least a bit of every layer underneath your code e.g. ISAs, Calling Conventions and scheduling.
To clarify what jacquesm is talking about (since I've gotten said monopoly money from United when voluntarily being bumped) I ended up with something like 4 $100 vouchers that must be used for a flight within 1 year and cannot be combined for a single flight.

They also said they'd put us on first-class for our flight the next day, but didn't.

So when they say "$400" they really mean 4 $100-off coupons that expire in 1 year.

I used to have an Amex card because of Costco's exclusivity deal with them. I only used it to shop at Costco because many other places didn't accept Amex and my daily driver card has better benefits. I didn't feel like applying for another credit card when the Costco deal ended, so it just ended up being turned into a Citi Visa that I pretty much never use.
Just like economy class, business-class and first-class tickets come in multiple fare classes, and lower fare classes come with restrictions (such as not being refundable or requiring an additional fee to make changes).

Typically for US airlines, fare class "F" is the unrestricted/"full fare" for first class and is fully refundable and can be freely changed; fare class "J" is the same for business class; and fare class "Y" is the same for economy class.

United uses two codes for first class depending on the cabin arrangement. In a two-cabin (i.e., economy and first class cabins) aircraft, "F2" is the "full fare" first-class, while on a three-cabin (economy, business and first class) aircraft, it's "F3".

There is also a "pecking order" attached to the fare class which affects how and when passengers get shuffled around in case there aren't enough seats in the cabin of that fare class. The highest pecking order is, as expected, from an "F3" ticket; next in line is an "A3" (discounted three-cabin first class), then "F2", then "A2", then "J", then the lower-tier business class fares ("C", "D", "Z" and "P"), and then the full-fare economy class "Y", followed by a mix of other economy fares and "upgrade" fare classes (the "upgrade" fares are ones representing a ticket booked into one cabin but with a condition, or points/instrument attached, which grants a space-permitting right to be seated in a cabin of higher class).
Landlords are restricted from breaking lease agreements by Tenants Rights laws. There may not be an equivalent set of laws or regulations that restrict airlines from breaking their contract of carriage with a passenger.

Something tells me shipping your phones off to be built by other people in China and building your own auto assembly factories from scratch are two completely separate things.
The definition of "Police Custody" is very specific. It is any situation where you are not free to leave. (I admit the details changes from state to state however).

IE: You are typically under (limited) Police Custody during a Breathalyzer test. Although the details of this custody vary from state to state, the fact of the matter is you are NOT free to leave and your rights are restricted.

In any case, Dr. Dao is obviously under Police Custody. Now the officer was probably wrong for putting the man under custody, but its clear that the Officer is dragging the man out of the Plane, and that Dr. Dao is not allowed to freely go about his business.

The Officer probably didn't follow his proper duties at 3:30am (and his suspension from the Police Force indicates that something wrong happened from a Police perspective). But regardless, Dr. Dao is CLEARLY under Police Custody at the time. At least, now that we know the man dragging Dr. Dao out of the plane was an officer.

Normally, you're supposed to show your badge and give Miranda Rights (proper procedures and everything). But needless to say, there were a lot of mistakes made at that time. IMO, most of them seem to be Police-level mistakes however and not necessarily United Airline's problem. (Despite what the court of Public Opinion believes...)
It's always a bit disconcerting to find out that a decision I thought I made independently is actually part of some larger overall trend. This happens a lot to me.

For a decade before last year, I used an Amex card exclusively. Then I switched to a Sapphire card for the great signing bonus and better rewards. (It's also metal, and as much as I'd like to pretend that doesn't sway me, it does.) Now I find out that this is a "thing" and that I'm just another part of the overall trend.

Oh well. If Amex successfully counters this move, I'll happily return. Their customer service has been spectacular the few times I needed them.
Not to mention this basically makes cURL illegal..

But not, apparently, in any way that you are able to articulate. For example your designer feels the idea is childish, but if your agreed-upon strategy is to position your firm as the most friendly and accessible vendor for new buyers that might be OK. If you want to be the safe choice of professionals, then maybe not.

Taste is highly subjective, but your designer is a specialist in visual communication and literally sees the world in a different way from how you do.
I've been finding Fewer and fewer places that accept Amex. Sometimes when you hand over an Amex they'll give you a look since you're costing them money. If hey really want to compete they need to lower their merchant rates.

Google has superior search results. FB/Twitter are where all my friends are. Amazon has network effects with Prime that are more than just free next day shipping.

Uber takes me from point A to point B in a virtually indistinguishable way than Lyft or any of the other smaller ride sharing services. The most important thing is the transport, not the comfort, not the branding, not the "Lifestyle Experience". Maybe they will succeed because all of these people want something more out of a ride other than the ride but, for me it's cheap, reliable, fast; in that order. Everything else if fluff.

Can you stop spamming our community with articles you wrote?
Interesting.

I'd be interested in the maintenance strategies you have in place (if any).

I assume that for plugins who don't output styles or scripts you use other methods, maybe some HTML output etc, so you've probably hard coded a lot of stuff for some popular plugins.

How have you set your tests and how do you plan on knowing when a certain plugin stops emitting the signature you're checking for? Most probably an E2E test with a local theme containing everything, care to share tech specifics ok this part?
I tried that with Uber. It was great, everywhere I wanted to go for a month for $1.99 per ride $40. I saved a FANTASTIC amount of money that month on Uber and I used the hell out of it. As soon as it was over, I went back to checking Lyft again.

I'm sure they lost even more money on me that month than normal.
So often you see people who are for vaccines (which I am for, massively) and for GMOs (which I'm only conditionally for) arguing SCIENCE SCIENCE SCIENCE without actually making an argument. Science can't prove any vaccines or GMO are safe in general, any more than pharmaceuticals or processed foods in general could be proven safe. The FDA and CDC carefully monitor vaccines. Processed foods and GMOs less so or not at all. Merely invoking SCIENCE doesn't let anybody off the hook.

>Others nodded in agreement. “I’d probably use this,” said another, pulling out a blue-tinged credit card. “An Amex says you’re rich, but this says you’re interesting.”

Where did they find these people? When did using the CSR become a statement? Everyone I know got it for the free money, and uses whatever card gets the most points for whatever purchase.
Another proposal: Give patent examiners X% of all revenue from the patents they approve. However, if any of their approved patents is ever found to be invalid, they lose all future revenues and their job. This would be strong incentive to reject all but the most promising applications.
The new Amex cash card is pretty solid with 6% back on groceries and 3% back on gas and department stores (and 10% on restaurants for 6 months), but those aren't exactly prestige categories. I use that for everyday spending and the sapphire card for travel.

Mobile Data is still relatively expensive here, but you can get a unlimited 100mbit down/20mbit up fiber connection for ~80/month, and unlimited 1000mbit down/ 500mbit up connection for $130/month.

General browsing is often still a little slower than in the US though, because of the ~200ms latency to the US where most sites are hosted. International bandwidth is pretty good now though - I usually get 200mbit downloads from US servers.

This article doesn't say anything about using your card abroad or how widely accepted Amex is. I have an Amex and use it for all my subscriptions, and spending when I'm in the US. In the rare chance that I can't use Amex, I have capital one venture.

When I use Amex, almost universally people comment that my card looks cool and take it and play with it. But whenever I recommend Amex to someone, it is always met with "but I won't be able to use it everywhere", generally they are talking about the US, but the same sentiment applies abroad also.

Its true, when I am outside the US, I can't use Amex, I have to use my Venture card. How much of the drop can be attributed to the fact that now say in a country like Brazil, even people selling packs of gum from mobile tables accept MC and Visa? How many more millennials travel abroad? How many want to use the same card in whatever country the find themselves in and not have to worry?
The conclusion is not reasonable: what has competition in the credit card business to do with the end of the latest recession?

Human need for convenience is even greater than the human need to complain.
Didn't the article the other day about how Uber is "cheating" drivers show the drivers are paid distance+time and not just a % of the rider's fare?
Key quotes from Eliot himself in the article:

"I maintain even that the criticism employed by a trained and skilled writer on his own work is the most vital, the highest kind of criticism; and . . . that some creative writers are superior to others solely because their critical faculty is superior"

"The critic, one would suppose, if he is to justify his existence, should endeavour to discipline his personal prejudices and cranks—tares to which we are all subject—and compose his differences with as many of his fellows as possible, in the common pursuit of true judgment."

Finally, from the body of the text:

"To pick up a phrase he used earlier, taste is the custom by which we like something with the right liking. That is the direction of good teaching. It is easy to like something for the wrong reason. Many of us like trash for no good or right reason. Trying again: the function of criticism—as of good teaching—is to lead our students, our readers—to like something for the right reason. What is the right reason? That is what we have to know and to be able to show."

This is relevant to a decision I made today. I was deciding which travel card to get between the amex platinum and the chase sapphire reserve, and I went with the sapphire reserve. I felt the amex's perks were catered more towards business travelers doing expensive things, while the chase card was more focused on people who travel for fun. However, I do not understand why people think the sapphire reserve is not a snobbish card like amex: it has a $450 a year fee, which is almost as much as the amex platinum's $550 fee, is ~metal~, and is trying to capture the same group of people.

That's kind of a dilemma for them, though. They have been very successful up until now by distinguishing themselves from all the other cards with extra perks and a premium level of service. To pay for those perks and that service, they charge more on the merchant end, with an implied value that their members spend more and are worth courting.

Now that this trend is shifting, merchants aren't seeing the value in accepting an expensive Amex card, and are deciding to go without. But Amex still needs something to separate them from the rest of the pack, lest they become just another commodity card. Once that happens (and the merchant network is slow to adapt), users may just switch to the Visa or MasterCard they're already carrying and forget about Amex altogether.
Stevens Creek Trail for the one that's 5 minutes away. You're right, it's basically a green belt, but it's awfully handy for biking to work or just getting out. You can walk all the way down to the Bay, and then on to Palo Alto Baylands, for a close to 10-mile round trip.

20 minute driving time includes Rancho San Antonio, Stevens Creek County Park, Villa Montalvo, and Lexington Reservoir, all of which are perfectly adequate half-day hikes. Make it 30-40 and you also get the Los Trancos/Montebello/Russian Ridge area, Castle Rock, Almaden, Calero, Garin/Dry Creek, and Don Edwards.

I generally keep at least one miles/points-earning card around, because every place I've lived for the past half-decade has allowed me to pay my rent with a credit card (I'm going to spend that money anyway, why not put it on the card and pay it off the next day so I get something out of it?).

None of the places I've lived have accepted American Express, so all branded/points-earning Amex cards are basically useless to me.
This article focuses on the emotional attachment to a card, but that's not the driver. It just comes out that way. I spend a lot of time on FlyerTalk where the decline of Amex has been discussed over and over. There were mistakes made on the revenue side, and on the rewards side. Three events basically tilted the entire balance away from Amex:

1. Failed negotiation with CostCo and losing the CostCo credit business.

2. The United and Continental merger that signed the death of the United / Amex relationship as all of that credit business moved to Chase and United was removed as a redemption partner, which was the number one membership rewards partner by a long-shot.

3. The loss of JetBlue as a partner that demotivated Amex in the affluent NYC credit theatre.

There were many other mistakes made, but those three had a compounding effect on Amex's negotiating leverage to earn transactions, carry cards, and to offer valuable rewards that drive member sentiment.

That's it. Three moves, each on their own survivable, but in concert essentially destroyed a well-balanced equation.

The question is, how will they catapult out of this?
Off topic from parent. But which companies were your competing offers from?

I failed to negotiate recently with other offers.
Chase's marketing team hit it out of the park with the Sapphire Preferred (and now Reserve.)

This is going to sound stupid, but the Preferred/Reserve lines are fun to use. They have a metal core which makes the card feel heavy. Cashiers would always comment on the card's weight. It feels satisfying when you drop it on the table at a restaurant. The perks aren't the best in the industry, but they're good enough, and the incredible amount of points you got when you switched over lowered the barrier to entry enough to make the move.

Without a doubt it's the "coolest" card in my wallet, and probably will be until I get an Amex Black (yeah, right.)

This is just me: I use whatever card I get the most points/benefits from for whatever scenario (travel, food, gas, groceries etc.). I couldn't care less what people think of me when I pull out my card.

It just so happens Chase has been pushing out cards that benefits my lifestyle the most.
