It would be nice to have that option. But such a small percentage of the web as a whole chooses to pay for such journalism that it is likely hard to justify implementing that feature. You can search WSJ.com by using the site:wsj.com argument after your keywords, but that isn't really what you're asking for here.

Generally speaking, paid journalism is not a sustainable business model for most entities. WSJ might be an exception, but they won't be getting any special Google treatment, nor should they.

Personally, I believe that the business model of most journalism sites will switch to a combination of sponsored content and the sale of Facebook and Google custom audiences. With retargeting, it's possible for an adveriser, say Microsoft, to tell a site like WSJ "we want to be able to advertise on Facebook/Google to people who read to the bottom of this article you wrote about cloud services" and pay WSJ for being able to use that custom audience. This kind of retargeting is already possible on Facebook and Google, but currently only limited to people that have visited your own site(s). Having a custom audience marketplace would be amazing for many advertisers and deliver badly needed revenue to publications.
As the comments in the article point out, it's very convenient that a female prostitute gets blamed for it without firm evidence.
Alright, so $560 for a soda instead of a $5 soda.

> P.S. You could host it on Github for even less.

I'm not going to attempt to save an inconsequential amount of money by hosting a site I'm hosting on another host.

But that strategy probably wouldn't end well. The $560 site uses 25x more bandwidth than Github's fairly low soft limit of 100GB (https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-github-pages/) and is likely above the 1GB site limit (which is also just the sum of any changes ever, because git) of a Github pages site.

From seeing who their CDN provider is (one that charges basically the same CDN rates as AWS), my guess is that Github is paying a lot more for CDN transit than I am. It's perhaps not a coincidence that the 100GB BW limit was quietly introduced after they started using the CDN.
In this age of devices with different DPI and pinch-to-zoom it would be nice if the browser would only get as many progressive levels as required for the current display resolution of the image.
Apple pays developers 70% (and keeps 30% for itself), which would be $100 billion in gross transactions.
Sure you can, during setup or any time afterward since day one. It's even easier in the Creator's update.
CS:Go is there for that question.

For actual work, selection, dragging, drawing - the arm/wrist do a very good job, better in more complex use cases than fingers.
I've found it interesting how my colleagues refer to the gender of hypothetical engineers. One principal engineer that I work with always uses "Suzie" in examples; "If Suzie is ..., she ...". Many others simply use the pronoun "he/him". ("When a manger..., he should ...").

I'm not sure if the principal engineer chooses "Suzie" deliberately because of her gender, but as a female engineer I really respect him for it and appreciate it anyway. Conversely, while I don't find it that big of a deal, I do lose a bit of respect for the speaker when I notice them only using "he/him".

Something to consider.
All's for the best in this, the best of all possible worlds.
Yes well I can imagine if you've spent your childhood reading airport novels books that might expect you to relate to a character on a human level might be a bit rough.
"your programs were reading fixed length lines of data off a tape"

COBOL could actually do more sophisticated stuff than that. For example, it had the "occurs depending on" construct, where you could read a record that had variable numbers of repetitions of a sub-structure, with the number of repetitions specified by one of the fields. (I never actually programmed in COBOL, but I've had to deal with code that had to support COBOL-style data structures.)

While on sabbatical? Wow! That's dedication.
The changes were breaking enough that a 2.x release wouldn't​ have been appropriate, so I get why they did that.

> The unarmed case is the one I pay attention to the most as I think that it (mostly?) filters out cases where shootings were justified.

An armed person can be shot and it can still be unjustified. The presence of a gun does not mean there was any danger or even the appearance of danger.

An unarmed person can give the appearance of having a weapon or may pose a clear threat regardless and such a killing could be justified.

I think mostly paying attention to the unarmed case allows the armed case to mask any potential problems, while also includes the implicit assumption that unarmed cases are mostly unjustified will exaggerate the appearance of problems.
Heh, the NVMe patch for the XPS 13 will probably never be merged, meaning you have to switch the config over to "AHCI" mode and lose ?????? (features? performance? power usage?)
This is a misconception. Service workers don't sit in the background consuming resources and performing arbitrary tasks. They respond to events, typically to intermediate requests while a user is using a site.

The service worker spec was carefully and deliberately designed to give the browser, not the site, control over resource consumption. The browser is allowed to stop any service worker at almost any time. See https://github.com/w3c/ServiceWorker/blob/master/implementat...
...but, when we're talking about individual human beings, who may be misinformed and shortsighted, the distinction is pretty important.

Ooh, thanks for the link! How to you think Blink compares to Prompt (which I'm currently using)?
No, I don't mean that. If you're using string or integer keys, then I think that {} still have a perf advantage.
You nailed it. It's in Google's interest to provide the best user experience and a large part of that is optimizing for the "best" result. Whether or not a user returns to search results, or executes a subsequent search are some of the many signals used to determine this.
I can't see how taking a site like this down would in any way benefit a manufacturer whose manual is available.

Companies like John Deere exist, who don't even want you to repair your own equipment...
Your guess is wrong - with the Tesla swap you got a loaner battery and later your own back.
>We are trying to damp market oscillations (speculation), not remove them completely!

I don't think proponents of rent control and Prop 13 would agree. They are trying to protect existing communities over the long term, and feel (somewhat understandably) that "the market" should not have the authority to disband communities on any time scale.

Speculators are an easy rhetorical target, but if you dig deeper it's really about locking in the existing physical and social character of a neighborhood indefinitely, market forces be damned.
A corollary to #1, oops, mistakes were made, these server specs are wrong, I actually need more/less CPU/RAM/storage.
A lot of the db drivers are written in C so that would make sense. It's really just the same problem.
Why? Is there some research I haven't seen that conclusively demonstrates some danger from interacting with electronics at an early age? Or is it a social or personal preference?
But can you actually get people to implement it if you make it that complicated? Images are pretty hard, hardware support is /actually/ really hard.

That's why it's best to accept whatever format is already out there and author to it - the only thing that matters is that it actually works when it's out there.

Actually I'm surprised there's still no good way to do animations with transparency, but maybe nobody wants to use it?
Linux Bridge – How it works
I've found them to be useful when I write ES6 code. I agree that custom hash and equality functions would make these classes a lot better.
What are your LTE costs per GB? It hasn't caught on in Australia; you pay about $30AUD a month for about 5GB of total data traffic. If you have 5 devices you usually can't share it either so you either have to swap a lot of SIMs or that's $150 a month one for each.
Because Google can only index what they can see. As noted in the article, the Googlebot only gets to see the first few paragraphs of WSJ articles, so those pages are less likely to rank on searches.
I bypassed the paywall by clicking on the URL in Kessler's tweet about his column: https://twitter.com/andykessler/status/871464537911840768
I disagree.

I think the Surface is just not meant to scratch the same itch as iPad. iPad has always had an interface, like the rest of iOS, oriented towards anyone competent enough to point at things. Power users could try to work past that, but it wasn't intended for that.

Surface Book seems to me like it was built for the more tech-competent demographic.

The issue isn't with "windows everywhere." It's that "surface book probably wasn't meant for deployment in a public library."
How insightful.

Your fallacy is: Relative Privation. It's not BLM's responsibility to "acknowledge" your point, and it's not even their responsibility to prioritize this specific issue in a way that you prefer. BLM's priorities also don't prevent anybody, such as yourself, from getting involved in environmental justice groups that are active in pursuing the lead-crime connection.

While lead may be implicated in the situation(s) that caused BLM to arise, it's not anything anybody can do anything about more than activism in terms of Flint, et al. That said, do you know who Nayyirah Shariff is?

Out of curiosity, what exactly is your goal in pursuing your line of logic, of needing "BLM" to "acknowledge" lead's role? What outcome would you like to see?

"earn what people are willing to pay you, and generally people only pay for things if they get something in return"

I'm sorry, no: this is taking some Econ 101 assumptions about supply and demand curves, and turning them around and claiming them as obvious empirical truths.

In my experience, people are also willing to pay whatever other people are willing to pay for something. It's not always rational, and cartels and monopolies are major, perhaps dominant, parts of our economic system.
It took me a shameful amount of time to realize the peppered 400: Invalid request's through the article were unintended.
I'm arguing that Harvard should be able to use reasonable measures to affect campus discourse, up to and including an outright speech ban if that's necessary, given of course that it is appropriate with existing limitations on such speech bans. (time, place and manner restrictions)

You are asking about specific policy that I think Harvard should be able to or not be able to enact. The thing about policy is that it necessarily has a chilling effect. But symbolic actions like this one can send messages without making everyone feel like they're under the gun. Properly tailored, it scares the people that need to be scared and lets everyone else feel safe and protected.

I have no problems with the action that Harvard took. They did not rescind all of the invitations of those involved, and exercised good judgment. It was a nuanced and appropriate response to the situation.

If you remove the ability of school administrators to exercise judgment, then you're basically tying their hands together and things can rapidly devolve into a cesspool.
Looking at the statistics, it looks like its been around that level for a while. Private loans make up a bit less than 10% of the overall outstanding student loan debt, not just new debt.
Gentrification and displacement are distinct. Downward pressure on home values mitigates displacement, but the presence of more above-median-income people is gentrification.

It can change the social fabric of a neighborhood (different taste in retail, different participation in neighborhood social life, etc), even if the original lower-income residents are still there.

I think this is something we should accept, but they're not technically wrong to call it gentrification.
> there never was one power that controlled the whole subcontinent

There were several - indeed, the British had it easier because the Mughals had dissipated within living memory, and all their bureaucracies and systems were still functioning.
I'm impressed (as usual with your work) that you're able to get that level of performance from an interpreter, although as you note it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. I wonder what you'd get from the 2.x VM design with a templating JIT compiler.

But, as you said, my main point is your last sentence -- optimizing compilers like LuaJIT 2.x are impressive and necessary.
Aghast? They built the Mac Pro entirely around the concept. That's why it shipped with a bunch of Thunderbolt ports but non-replaceable GPUs: because they thought external GPUs would become widely adopted.

If they're aghast at anything, it's how wrong they got the pro market. Everyone still wants user-upgradeable internal GPUs.
Data transfer is cheap. If they used webp savings would be even significant.

Data transfer for a mobile user is not that cheap, thats more important.
Japan's example would suggest it's zoning. Tokyo is IMO very affordable for a metropolis (i.e. lots of people in middle income jobs can have a small but decent apartment here). And small apartments are less of an issue than you think, if a city has the right amenities. Room for children to play? There's tons of public play centers and playgrounds. A Garage? Don't need it, walk instead 5min to a superb transport network. Big kitchen? There's 50 restaurants within a 15min walk. Big relaxing bath? Go to a nearby public bath house and feel like an Ancient Roman. Need space for guests? Fold away your Futon, put up the heated Kotatsu-Table and have another room to use. More fun? Shibuya is 25min away. All yours for ~950 USD/month for a 35m2 or so apartment.
Interesting story.

Great web page design, I was able to read without a box popping up asking me to subscribe (which was available on the bottom of the page). No video ads.
Yeah, Win 10 and Arch Linux are poster children for "everything just works".
I don't understand why people don't just tether to their phones. It just works, and you don't pay any extra for another device on your account. Biggest downside I can see would be draining your phone's battery a bit.

I have said and done a handful of dumb things in my 20's. It's behind me today as I've grown out of that self-destructive phase of my life. Yet in the back of my mind, I wonder if someone will 'expose' me one day when things are going really well and cause me to crash and burn.

I don't know even know where else to even talk about this besides here.

Sorry if it's a dumb question.

I've found that spreadsheet software, notably Excel, tends to be "over-helpful" in trying to determine the format of the data it's reading in, no doubt in an attempt to help the less-knowledgeable user; anyone who has ever had it mangle imported data by e.g. guessing that "02-04" should somehow be a date will be familiar with this.

It should not be surprising then, that this type of guessing behaviour could lead to exploitable vulnerabilities.
"Second (and I kind of hate to give this one away), I ask 'what do you sacrifice when recruiting to ensure diversity?'"

In India, we never refer to this as the "sepoy mutiny" or any crap like that.

It is always called the First War of Indian Independence. It would take us another hundred years and Gandhi and the nonviolent freedom struggle to be finally rid of the British.

But the greatest irony comes from this : that was undivided India (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh). We went from that to the most dangerous nuclear flashpoint in the world today.
It's always fashionable to complain about new development. What matters is, do residents have a venue to elevate their complaints to serious legal barriers for the project?
For those interested in this topic, I can't recommend "The Last Mughal" by William Dalrymple enough.

It chronicles the crumbling Mughal Empire in Delhi, the slow shift in the Indian-British relationship from one of equals to a colonizer-colonized relationship, how perilously close the British came to losing India in 1857, and lots of painstakingly well-researched interesting anecdotes about life in that era.

Here's what he writes about the last of the Mughals: “As the political sky darkened, the court was lost in a last idyll of pleasure gardens, courtesans and mushairas, or poetic symposia, Sufi devotions and visits to pirs, as literary and religious ambition replaced the political variety.”

And about the East India Company in the 1850s: “So removed had the British now become from their Indian subjects, and so dismissive were they of Indian opinion, that they had lost all ability to read the omens around them or to analyse their own position with any degree of accuracy. Arrogance and imperial self-confidence had diminished the desire to seek accurate information or gain any real knowledge of the state of the country.”
Ask HN: Company is offering me a move from NYC to Nevada. Should I take it?
Paid move from New York City to Sparks, Nevada with same New York salary. I make 120K in New York City right now as a Software Engineer with 7 year experience. My only goal currently is financial independence. My only concern is if this company goes down and I get settled get a house in Sparks/Reno area where there are no jobs what would I do? In NYC if this company goes down there are a lot of backups. Will appreciate any advice on:

a) Should I even move to Sparks, Nevada?

b) If I do, should I buy a house there or rent? My company is a startup.

Woah - is this what companies that "rent" other companies' pixels like perfect audience are doing to get the pixel data?
That's a bit glib, don't you think?

I mean, I didn't much care for The Handmaid's Tale, but my own introversion, along with some experiences in youth that gave me to understand something of how one's mind may behave when deprived of stimulus or opportunity for meaningful interaction, made its viewpoint character's relentless inner focus rather less alien and offputting than I suspect I'd otherwise have found it. Even for me, though, that didn't come anywhere near making it pleasant. For someone who came to it without those traits or experiences that made it at least intuitively understandable, I can easily imagine it being no more than an awful slog - especially when forced to read it for a class assignment, rather than happening upon it organically as I did.

(And I read airport novels as a kid, too, not because they were great, deep, meaningful literature, but because they were a lot of fun! God forfend, I suppose...)
Had to look it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_on_first_use

What would you replace it with?
I have a the 12" with a pen since it came out. Really wanted to use it for taking notes, but then I remember my handwriting is complete chicken scratch. It did find a nice place as a tool for doing wireframes of the UI for my current startup for PLM. Also I will say I have gotten used to the split screen. It is nice to watch a video and also open the web browser or email. Looks like IOS 11 makes this even better. The iPad was not a replacement for my MacBook Pro. Speaking of which, 16GB on MacBooks now. Going to order one ASAP. I travel so weight and size is the most important thing (besides the fact I need 16GB). At home or work I just jack into the thunderbolt port for monitor, keyboard, mouse and network.
I've taught college. This study is wildly unsurprising. I've written about this in various places (e.g. https://jakeseliger.com/2014/04/27/paying-for-the-party-eliz...), but most colleges have evolved majors and paths that are designed to move students through the system, collect their tuition money, and graduate them.

In re-reading the previous sentence, I think I sound opposed to this. I am a little bit, maybe, but mostly I'm opposed to the way no one explicitly tells this to students. A lot of the brighter or better prepared ones figure it out, but many, it seems, never do.

There are entire worlds inside YouTube that I had no inkling of until I had kids! And I have no idea how they found them!
Last year I was pretty excited about Ethereum for a few months. But then I got to thinking about the social problems I care about, like how factory and middle class jobs are being wiped out by robots and AI, and I couldn't think of how DAPS could fix those sorts of problems on a large scale.
OS X's fullscreen mode baffles me. A few versions ago it switch from just, y'know, fullscreening the app, to forcing fullscreened apps onto a completely different, dedicated desktop for no discernable reason, breaking Cmd-Tab and making it impossible to float another window over the fullscreened one (e.g. if I want to take notes on its content, but without extraneous GUI chrome).

Does anyone know what use case the forced desktop switch is supposed to improve?

(And the maximize button still doesn't work correctly, because maximize is not the same thing as fullscreen.)
