So we've come full circle. The biggest ad peddler on the world and a predominant distributor of malicious ads (because ain't nobody got time to check that stuff) is now integrating an ad blocker and offering tools for publishers to check their sites for the bad ads they themselves offer.
>You should not have to move out of country to know what your country has done.

Pretty much applies everywhere.

As a shortwave listener back in the day, the invasions of Grenada and Panama were widely broadcast ~8-12 hours everywhere before a peep showed up in US media. Iran-Contra and many other US actions were not uncovered by domestic media, they were exposed by foreign journalists.

People think they're better informed or more worldly after the internet. Surely that explains why the only two US media pundits who got any airtime opposing the Iraq War were Michael Moore and Paul Krugman. You have to watch RT to see someone like Chomsky even today.
That's not an abusive worker, that's just a bad worker.

In the current system bosses are sometimes hesitant to fire people if they know they have a family to support. Knowing people have UBI to lean on there's much less guilt about letting people go.

> I expect people like me who spend most of their day on the computer to have at least as much digital self discipline as I have, but perhaps that's a poor assumption to make...

That is a terrible assumption to make!! Why would you think that everyone thinks the same way you think?!?

I deleted my facebook and to answer your question: Yes, it was that difficult. I have tried multiple times to do what you did, just leave it alone, but I couldn't. So I deleted it, have not missed it for a second.
yup, I actually use the dlib facial detector in this app for a ventriloquist type feature (not shown in video). The facial landmarks detector assume you've framed an ROI for a face already. Locating faces in an image is trivial... locating hands in an image and their orientation, not so much : ) That's not to say a CNN couldn't be trained to do it, it's just going to take some work!
I noticed when I was trying to learn how to program, everyone seemed to think it was trivial to just take a course online and learn it. Only once you've gone through a few tutorials do you realize how shallow most of them are. If you want to get beyond Hello World level, you need to pick up some thick textbooks or go to college, and there's precious little instruction available at the intermediate level. You have to learn everything on the job whether you like it or not.
Serious question: Would you have enough data at this point to tell me how many lottery tickets I could buy to replace the odds of winning on startup options based on option metadata (startup round, options granted, etc)?

Think of it as investment diversification.

It's incredibly obnoxious - the first time my dad showed me I couldn't believe how much space it took up. He has no interest in joining Facebook but his friend promotes his business via pictures on there
This is my biggest problem with Facebook, as of late. It's all advertisements, and sponsored stories. My friends don't spam me with pictures of food, but the signal-to-noise ratio is too damn low.
I'm not sure I follow this argument. I think I understand what most of the sentences mean but I don't see the logic that strings them together
I'm learning Javascript. I can safely say im comfortable with most fundemental programming concepts...then the book starts talking about recursive functions.

Suffice to say once I hit that section I went back to codeacademy finished the course (which never brought them up and I'm not sure if that's good or bad) now I'm back in Eloquent Javascript...it get's really hard really fast.
The dark $ide of silicon startups
A QA engineer loads up a webpage and orders 0.1 percent of a company. Then 1%. Then back to 0.1%. Then clicks the down arrow -- ah, zero percent.

Then clicks the down arrow again. Negative numbers ensue.

True story, except I'm not usually a QA engineer.
Getting your hands dirty is definitely a good thing, but CodeAcademy is a bit dry. The best thing I've found is trying to get someone to make something that THEY want or need. For someone 100% new to programming, that can be a bit tough though. So books, classrooms and MOOCs do have their place I think.
That's more attributable to the sanctions placed on Iran in 2010, in response to their nuclear program, which led to shortages and price surges.

>In other words, most of what I saw on Instagram was people trying to get followers and likes, trying to be like some "adventure photographer", whatever the hell that means. The feeds became clogged with homogenous shots of feet over the same beaches, curving roads, VW vans, etc.

That still happens, and it can be a pain, but it's also easy to ignore.

And I do play the hashtag game; not to garner followers or likes but for the rare occasion where another photographer with a similar interest in "real photography" happens to be checking that same hashtag and comes across my photos, or vice versa.

On average I'm getting about 100 likes and 4 or 5 followers per shot. A lot of that is noise, but some of them are real photographers with an interest in the hobby and it's nice to meet people based solely on their photos. I've had conversations with some folks on Instagram local to me suggesting what parks I should shoot at, and I've chatted with others different film development techniques, and so on. For those situations it's worth it.

I will say that Instagram's saving grace is that it's hard to blindly share content since it requires a separate app currently. If that ever changes, and it probably will, I'll be gone.

I should add that very few of the people I follow post anything about themselves. Lazy selfies get them unfollowed. I'm in it because it's a more active photographer community than flickr/500px/whatever.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But from what I tested you get $0 unless the IPO/sell is over $40M. No matter if Seed or Series C or how much of the company you own.
My comments apply to what majority of US workers tell me regardless of owners. I'd love to see a survey on competence covering both franchisees and corporate stores.
I think it's hilarious that the comments in here suggest Facebook gets in the way of quality of life because of the way it captures your attention. Yet, then they spend a large amount of time on this site practicing another form of toxicity.

I get that some people, here especially it seems, have very strongly held beliefs about privacy and personal space that Facebook will never accommodate for. Nor should they be expected to. Clearly those people will never be the target audience and that's 100% okay.
Microsoft's problem is that they have conflated "security" updates and non-security and even OS version upgrades.

If my dog keeps crapping in my house I'm not going to let him back in without being housebroken.

I agree with the authors points about blogging on facebook and having a decent logged out experience, but I want to push back against him lumping in anti-adblock pop overs.

Every publisher of high quality content is dependent on advertising to stay in business. When you are using adblock, your eyeballs are freeloading off of all the users who are using the website as intended.

I certainly understand the urge to use adblock, but it's amazing to me that people would feel entitled enough to actually expect publishers not to try to prevent this.
It also correlates closely to the increase in banking sanctions, which were enacted very close to the spike in that graph.

It seems that the difference is that you won't need to set up a DB server, maintain it, and keep feeding transaction data from Stripe into it.

While this may not be terribly complex, it opens up the chance to run SQL on your business data without building or maintaining the pipeline itself for SMBs which may have limited resources.

I'm not following you. I'm not sure if you're advocating a fixed percentage or some kind of logarithmic tax rate based on how much income you earn. If the later, then the changing cost of living dictates what most people deem to be acceptable tax rates and prevents it from not changing constantly.
I agree, but that doesn't matter to a certain segment of the Rust community. They will go to great lengths, including redefining what OO is, to disassociate their language from OO for whatever reason.

We couldm say that; but Microsoft's definition of what critical security updates are is very different to most people's.
Thank you for elaborating/clarifying your position.

The idea of government actively facilitating a diversity of optional or also private regulatory paradigms is interesting. I imagine there are definite benefits that could result from pursuing ideas like that.

I do worry about the ability or desire of most individuals to analyze and differentiate between such options, especially in cases with high complexity.

For many individuals, even with determined efforts to increase awareness and to educate, it is simply too difficult or time consuming to meaningfully learn if such and such product is actually safe. As technology advances, this dynamic will likely become more magnified. It is fantasy to expect an average individual to be able to determine if an arbitrary safety rating of a self-driving vehicle is trustworthy, for example.

I wouldn't argue that many of our current approaches to regulation are optimal in the slightest. However, I would argue that complexity is increasing faster than our ability to manage it. To me, this implies that we have to make tough trade-offs at times, perhaps accepting some slowdown in growth, in order to not shoot ourselves in the foot.

Perhaps one improvement we could strive towards even now is some sort of entrenched mechanism that would force serious re-evaluation of each regulatory paradigm every so often (perhaps once a decade or so), in order to prevent stagnation and ensure new learnings are incorporated.

I'm not sure how such a thing could be implemented, but anything that moves us closer to internalizing an awareness of current imperfections and the never-ceasing opportunity to make incremental as well fundamental improvements, I think we would reap great benefits over the long term.

Yeah, the implementation vary quite a bit. FHIR seems like it might actually be nice.
I remember other people telling me it was much faster. I don't remember it actually being much faster, but I switched anyway because of horrific memory leak problems with firefox.

Could a rule like "Everybody must go up to the 12th floor, jump out of the window, and die." be part of morality? No, because that would be self-defeating. In the same way, demanding that people pay a tax but not fixing at all how much that tax should be, is a broken rule, and cannot be part of morality. Nothing will stop the ruling class from incessantly increasing the tax rate, if you accept the rule. Therefore, the rule must be rejected.
Odd slab pricing model that jumps; are there other SaaS products that do that?
"auto-playing video ads with sound and “prestitial” ads that countdown before displaying content."

I guess Google will have to block ads on Youtube as well, not only does it have auto-playing ads with sound, but they block the display of content (prestitial/pre-roll).

Oh wait, Google standards never affect Google.
The interesting bit about this launch is that the Dragon capsule itself is a 'flight proven' capsule. It has a new 'trunk' section of course. Another step along the way toward more generally re-usable rockets.

> If paying taxes were part of morality, it would require to fix the tax rate once and for all. Otherwise, such moral rule would simply hand out a blank cheque to the ruling class, which could ask for whatever taxation amounts

No, you could totally say that it's moral to pay taxes, but that we don't know what the correct amount is, or that the correct amount depends on circumstances. The 'ruling class' does effectively have a blank cheque - who do you think sets the taxes?

You lost me with the "and habits". Bill Gates has said he wants his kids to have enough money to do anything, but not so much they can do nothing. Which is to say you can get a good education, but at some point you need to do something with your life other than gamboling, drugs and prostitutes [you can substitute/add whatever wasteful habits you want here]. It is quite obvious (almost a straw-man) that if everybody did that society would collapse.

I want enough of a fall back that people survive. I want it uncomfortable enough that people decide to get a more productive job if they can. (leaving only the disabled to actually live on the basic income)

Of course I don't know what your habits are. If they are walking around the park you can do that cheaply, I'm willing to take the risk that you won't get bored quickly doing that.
This would be like to say "please stop to drawn the parts of a flower and opened fruits in botanical illustrations. Is gruesome to see all those mutilated plants".

There is a reason to drawn both wings in the same plane, is much easier to classificatory purposes and is needed in some special cases because butterflies can have totally different marks in its right and left wings.
I used to work for a small company that did print (and web) medical journals targeted at dentists and dental professionals. We handled all the ads ourselves and hosted the images on our server as any other image. This meant we were basically impervious to adblock. Except for the occasional iframe embedded ad that was given to us by the client we basically never had an issue with adblock.

Same thing on a nightlife website I worked on. Ads hosted by others were blocked but our own hosted ads were never a problem.

Granted our own ads also had zero chance of being hijacked by a bad actor since they were simple <a><img></a> ads.

If only everyone did this we wouldn't be having this arms race.
Yes, but the default is set to the employee getting 0.01% of a company that raised series A. That's a very pessimistic percentage. Think of it this way: the startup could hire 100 employees, each at 0.01%, and only give up 1% of its total equity. That's way too low.

Typical grants for post-series A employees (the 10 to 50 first employees) are at least 10X more than that. With that calculator, you get something (~ $20K) for a $40M exit. Not 0. Not amazing either.
If you are a beginner and looking for an engaging way to learn how to code using JavaScript, I would suggest Coding for Visual Learners (http://www.codingforvisuallearners.com).

Does anyone actually do that (for loop to assign a bunch of variables)? To me that just looks like a really awkward way to fake inheritance. Whenever I see the term "composition" used, at least in my experience, it was just about embedding one object in another. For instance, in a game engine like unity where you do things by composition and components, you would do something like obj.GetComponent<Renderer>() or obj.AddComponent<Thing>() or whatnot. "Composition" still kept the boundaries very well defined.
For several years, I worked doing installs for eCW and I have nothing but negative experiences to report about the software and the company itself. This is wholly unsurprising.
The "How We Guesstimate" answers this.

And the site is assuming the company raised $41M in funding.
I would say not much. Meaningful Use is/was a unique program. In this case it seems like there was a conspiracy to deliberately cheat the certification only implementing the 16 drug checks that the examiner was going to check.

The end result was CMS paying out large bonuses to health systems using the eCW software when they really shouldn't have.
The reports I've seen distinguish between phones and everything else. If this ban goes into effect, expect to see phablet sales skyrocket!

People need to read this and get it through their head - progressive tax rates don't work because the truly wealthy can afford to hire accountants to avoid tax to a huge degree. It disproportionately effects the middle class.
You guys won Vietnam. You just didn't achieve the best possible outcome. Really, Vietnam had a thriving economy by that time, growing industry in several cities, but after the war the country was nothing for a really long time. You bombed them into stone age, so it didn't even matter whether the country was communist, democratic or whatever else at that point.

Oh shiny, but does it blend? I mean, Stripe has a great API, great design and this, but is Stripe a good payment solution? No, it is not, especially for sellers. Fraud and charge backs are worse than with PayPal. Despite its many shortcomings, PayPal has at least a much better fraud protection system. This is what matters or should matter when choosing a payment solution. Shiny stuff is great, but if the engine is made with rubber-bands, you won't get very far.
that's because of liquidation preference. they assume the company has raised $41M
This is actually a very bad thing.

Qualcomm is decidedly against open source and open firmware, this will bring the closed disposable worthless logic board with the unmodifiable OS from your phone and into your laptop.

Iranian expat with some insight into this program here; any study that doesn't isolate confounding factors will be inconclusive at best, especially since the Iranian economy has been changing drastically in recent years. Hyperinflation during Ahmadinejad administration, economic embargoes, and the nuclear deal affected people's lives so much more than a measly basic income.

Also, a fraction of the average (or even median) income is not a good indicator, because of high class division in Iran. It certainly doesn't translate into what $16K can give you in the US. E.g. if you're an unemployed youngster living with your parents in Tehran, it can help you with your entertainment budget, but it's in no way a life-changing amount.
