This doesn't seem that useful to me as only a small number of sites (none of which I visit) support it.

Hypothetical question: If I were allowed to bid on my own ad impressions - and if I won an auction, no ad would be shown - how much would it cost a month for me to see no adverts? (I realize this is heavily dependent upon the type of sites that are involved, so I guess take the average HN user as an example).

I use uBlock too - it's great. Sometimes a site will have an obnoxious popover or something that's usually relatively easy to create a rule for, but generally it works, and in combination with Ghostery I'm confident it's protecting me from most tracking, which is what I really want to avoid.

However it is an ethical dilemma, especially in a World where Contributor exists. Content is not free, hosting is not free, development and the application of security patches is not free. Currently sites are monetised using ads, and by using uBlock you're getting for free something that is not free. You are also inevitably causing people who do not have uBlock to 'pay' more, or contributing to putting the site out of business.

While Contributor obviously doesn't prevent Google from tracking your every step, and I'll still take steps to avoid data harvesting, I'll be buying it the moment it's available on any of the sites I read regularly.
Ah, just saw this, sorry for the delay!

I was a 2 cans of soda a day drinker, and any given day if I felt like I didn't have enough energy one or both of them would be replaced with an energy drink (usually red bull). There was also a ~6 month period in my life that really did a number on me, where I was working a day job and continuing that aforementioned standard, but then I went to work at night on a project a friend of mine was starting up. In that night shift, I'd drink probably 2-3 large cans of this terrible stuff called "Unbound" to keep me awake. I don't know if they even make it anymore. I'd sleep for about 3 hours a night, and get up and repeat it.

Just before I turned 30, I found that I couldn't keep my eyes open, I'd fall asleep sporadically. In retrospect, I believe it was some pretty intense adrenal/caffeine tolerance combined with other health issues that were starting to develop. One day shortly after I turned 30, I woke up and my vision was so blurry that I couldn't see street signs from across the street. I went to a doctor, and it turns out I had developed diabetes. I was 313 pounds by that point, inflated by my long nights spent focusing on work instead of my health and very poor eating/drinking habits. Before that sudden exhaustion just before I turned 30, I felt like I could go at that pace forever. But it was like my body pushed the brakes hard.

The slightly good news is that I've turned my life around a bit. I quit both soda and energy drinks, switched to black coffee, I'm down to about 225 pounds and my blood sugar levels are normal - but only because of quitting both energy drinks/soda and almost abstaining entirely from carbohydrates. It's something that I'll have to watch for the rest of my life now.

Anyways, yeah. Don't do what I did. You'll feel invincible until you suddenly wake up one day and don't feel invincible anymore.
Interesting. And there was I thinking "problem solving" was what made this gig interesting!

I guess this puts the emphasis on talking about problems over hiding in a corner and working through them into some perspective. But personally, I find programming under circumstances where I don't get to "spin my wheels" from time to time pretty frustrating.
JSX doesn't feel "right" to me, it feels like it's taking Javascript and making it into what it isn't, just for convenience (everything in one place), because the JSX-free option of React at least seems terrible. I'm not sure if that says more about the limitations of Javascript or the design choices of React. Somehow, Evan You managed to design a perfectly clean, high performing alternative that follows common development practices, and still supporting componentization for growing projects. As for me and my workflow, I tend to gravitate towards the options impacting my workflow the least (where preprocessors will invariably do so) and getting me up and running the quickest, while not sacrificing good programming practices. I think VueJS fits that niche pretty well indeed.

A filesystem is an abstraction to an information store which removes the underlying implementation details of accessing that store.

A filesystem is a CRUD (or BREAD) tool, based on standard metadata and interfaces. Part of that is making available extra and user-useful capabilities.

Another part of the problem is that the current concept of a browser, which lacks the idea of downloading-and-storing, on an accessible and persistent basis, online content, and emphasises application and interactive functions over document and reference capabilities, is ... something of a historical accident.

Why make use of some remote pinboarding or bookmarking feature if you've got a common URL referencing system, and the ability to capture, transform, rate/rank, search, and organise into a workflow, project, or support context the information you're accessing via the Web.

And to do that by way of tools which treat this as information-on-disk, either known and extant utilities, or extensions / wrappers / enhancements of these. Most specifically, by unwrapping online content from the browser context specifically.

This goes deep into principles of application, information, and interface design and use. I'm calling the extant model a dead duck.
It's interesting you mention Buzzfeed because actually this price per page per site model doesn't work for them, at all - you'd need to be even more granular. They have both high quality journalistic content and those viral listicles all on buzzfeed.com - it'd be impossible to use a flat price per page sensibly.
In Ultima Online you could write books. While those were fun to find, would you say they were part of the open web?

What if those books were in Ilshenar, guarded by two stone gargoyles?

Hey, let's just meet and talk there. I sure love to go to Ilshenar. I'm sure my friends from all walks of life/culture/class would also love to go to Ilshenar see what I am talking about.

The problem is getting airflow through the system. If there's no turnover of the air then the problem is minute.

If you turn it on then warm, moist air is drawn into the cold chassis, and that's when the problems happen. If you don't turn it on then the air that was always in it it still there, and the problem is minimised.

So if it's extremely cold, don't turn it on.
This identifies why I tend to think social spending is a good idea even if there is some uncertainty about the benefits.

If everyone gets a few thousand dollars and runs out and spends it on beer and pizza, at least they got some beer and pizza. And then the money ends up back in the hands of the people who had it originally.

There are worse ways for a project to fail, and of course all the benefits discussed elsewhere could happen.
Wolfram's writing style is a known thing; I suspect that GP is currently hypersensitive to it, and sees lots of false positives.

> They're professionals like you. Give them some credit.

Ha ha. There's professional courtesy, but at the same time there are annoying truths (like rampant ignorance perhaps only barely above the general population, depending on the profession) we don't like to discuss in an unspoken agreement.

Honestly it just seems like a poorly communicated marketing blurb more than anything else. They wanted to say it's based on cellular automata because they're cool, and they can link the location to a guy somewhat famous even in the general population for something to do with automata (under the phrase GoL). An analogous situation might be some architecture using a Sierpinski pattern and having a blurb on how they derived it from fractals, and could relate the location to Mandelbrot.
Maybe if Google went with "Pay us $10 per month for us not to show you any AdSense anywhere on the web", this would be successful. In this form, I highly doubt it.

So, you want everything to be ten times more expensive?

China can be so cheap because everything is in the same place. IC production, PCB production, them being combined, device assembly, etc.

It would be far more expensive to ship all the parts separately.

Even more expensive to just ship the raw material from china to where it is needed.

And with expensive I mean both in terms of climate and money.
I would use the table to summarize even further: Many problems are self derived or due to (lack of good) process.

And going further I'd say that even the process part is self derived. If you ask a programmer, he'll often say he hates process, meetings, and decisions where he wasn't in the majority (the last one only indirectly). But he also loves the results of process: quality, aligned decision making, people in other departments considering his previous work on a topic.

The thing with self derived problems is that you can't do much from the outside beside trying to show with examples and experiences that other ways are possible.

Last but not least I personally feel that if you mostly or only have self derived problems left you belong to the happiest group of people on the planet. Sadly human nature does not make us happy if we get everything we want. We're still relatively unhappy.

Perl is awesome. Its like writing a sentence or paragraph. I decide how I want to present each sentence or paragraph. Then I get to write it in Perl.

Its a very easy language to learn. My first language was C back in 1994. I was in high school and encouraged to learn C before I learned Perl.

I read my books. I kept on going after it. Then finally six years later I started learning Perl.

Perl is a great language.

I haven't touched Perl6 yet - I bet its even better. It might take me 20 years just to do a hello world in it and optimize it.

Larry gave us a great place to start. Guido is awesome too.

"I don't like big bloated snakes though" -- I heard this back in 1996 or so...

Facebook is the AOL of the 21st Century. There will always be these closed gardens, walled-off. (Could've been CompuServe.)

The point is, the open web is the open web. This also needs to be common. Eventually, kiddos grow up and escape the pretty gardens - at least lets have something out here that they can clutch on to, in awe, at all the non-curated, non-owned, non-manipulated/-manipulative content ..

Agree to disagree I guess. Global warming is something that needs to be addressed, but it is being heavily exaggerated. This does not help anyone except for the alarmists. It causes us to put our resources in areas that aren't useful. That money could be spent much more wisely elsewhere. In addition, the US is already doing fine without government interference, as shown by the decrease in US CO2 emissions over the past 2 decades.

Besides all the jobs and other economic factors that would disadvantage the US on a global scale if they agreed to the accord, we just have to look to Germany - a country that is following the standards put in place by the accord - to see what the consequences would be. They pay more than 3x per kWh for electricity than the US. This might be something that the middle class and up could afford, but this would unfairly target the poor and in poorer countries would cause death and suffering. This alone is reason enough to look for better solutions.
This won't pass the house, the Property class won't let it. (Their two departments are the Democrats and Republicans.)

If it were possible, in a hypothetical sense:

Raise corporate taxes, they're much too low to be sustainable.

Care would need to be more efficient than Cuba or UK NHS in order to be cost-effective, this means preventative medicine and QALY will be front-and-center. The question will be how to pay for major operations and expensive, ongoing conditions without ending-up with Greece-style finances and IMF bailout austerity conditions. Even with cutting costs to rest of the world prices (1/4 of current prices), it would still be hundreds of billions per year. It's not impossible, but it would be an up-hill climb all the way and might not be very good with compromises, loopholes and back-room deals that will likely infest it.

Maybe there's enough rich corporations and wealthy people with taxes to raid, but their lobbyists on both sides of the aisle won't allow anything more than crumbs and getting back to sucking the blood money out of poor people.

> "The United States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord," Trump said June 1, 2017, "but begin negotiations to re-enter either the Paris accord or an entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States."

This blows my mind. The US is the most powerful country on Earth, right now. Almost everybody else agrees with the treaty, countries ranging from really rich and uniform ones such as the Netherlands down to poor and divided ones such as Somalia. Direct democracies such as Switzerland or autocracies such as Saudi Arabia. The interests involved are diverse because they basically cover everyone and everything.

How could anyone believe that the US is on the receiving end of a bad deal?!? Outside of some nutty conspiracy theory.

dang's post attempts to do this. HN has poor tools for surfacing such actions and intentions (it has poor tools in a large number of ways, but the very tool paucity also creates, at times, some useful positive dynamics).

Sometimes you want low friction, sometimes you want high friction.

A wheel, particularly in the flanged steel-on-rail or rubber tyre-on-road varieties, is a device for offering exceptionally low friction and resistance in one dimension, and very high resistance in another. Among the results of such a dynamic is the property, literally, of keeping a vehicle on track.

I think HN's quirks of high- and low-affordance capabilties operate somewhat in this nature.
