It was a site about Minecraft mods which don't garner as much traffic as they once did. I did consider selling it at one point and even spoke with a web broker. The biggest concerns were trademark stuff especially now that Microsoft owns it. Letting a content site just "sit there" is the same thing as letting it die, which is what I pretty much did. You gotta keep on generating good content if you want to make $$ at it. In addition to that, the content you do generate needs to be able to garner enough traffic to make that $$.

Yes, Netflix is still popular but they were not pushing as many display ads as they once were when the site was doing its best. Plus the TV show line up sucked after that summer and nothing really was sticking. After taking into account the cost to hire and manage contract TV show writers, cost to advertise it, hosting, etc. the revenue it was making wasn't enough for it to be worthwhile. Especially considering our SaaS products and Advertising Agency were growing.

> [Does one] comparison shop at different supermarkets to figure out what the highest quality food is for the lowest price?

No, of course not. That's what the weekly newspaper flyers are for. On the other hand if one is relatively well off, then the strategy you propose of picking a store that seems like an overall good value and sticking to it may make more sense than spending valuable time poring over grocery store flyers and making trips to multiple stores.

This difference in behavior (combined with coupon clipping) is pretty much the quintessential example of how retailers can implement price discrimination - i.e. charging higher prices to those with a greater income or greater willingness to spend.

I worked in a franchisee-owned McDonalds circa 2011 and I agree with the sentiment of this article. At the time they were trying to be all things to all people. Instead of focusing on their core strength: burgers and fries, they expanded an already crowded menu by introducing items like the McWrap and Fish McBites that nobody really wanted. Since then I think they've been trying to turn things around by trimming the fat from the menu ("getting back to basics") and actually responding to what customers want by doing things like introducing all-day breakfast.

Also, I got the sense that they don't have a great relationship with their franchisees. For example, there's a special salt shaker called AccuSalt[0] that the McDonald's Corporation requires franchisees to own which costs hundreds of dollars if I remember correctly. It's a total ripoff because the thing is a cheap plastic POS that breaks whenever it's dropped and franchisees aren't allowed to buy a generic one. As a result of this and probably 100 other little things, I once heard that the franchisee I worked for got the McDonald's Corporation to fly out an HVAC tech across the country to fix a thermostat out of spite.

TensorFlow is low-level. scikit or sklearn is high level off-the-shelf ML, apply this algorithm to this dataset with these parameters.

TFlearn is a high-level off-the-shelf library built on TensorFlow, giving you some of the benefits e.g. GPU.

It's hard to get state of the art results using off-the-shelf algorithms, unless your problem is very vanilla you typically need to get under the hood and do custom hyperparameters and tuning. That's why ML competitions like Kaggle are interesting, there are so many ways to skin the cat you can't capture them all in off-the-shelf libraries.

But you can get very useful results with a lot less effort using sklearn and TFlearn off-the-shelf.
>it's no different than saying that Lamy make the book American Gods possible

I have to say I think this is a pretty big leap. True, you can't do a controlled experiment with no McDonald's in the market to see what would have happened. But that doesn't mean you immediately throw up your hands and say "no useful or meaningful knowledge to be gained here because we can't do an impossible study." You might not get to 100% certainty but you can definitely figure some stuff out about how things are probably working, and the magnitude of the impact of the McDonald's system.
And yet these are not good examples of that. I've definitely read books that had propaganda though. Mostly by marshak.

In US they had Captain America so it balances out.

In retrospect. At the time it was taught as real history at schools. At least according to my mum, she never even found out about all the mass graves and other attrocities until after Yugoslavia fell apart. Partisans being the absolute good guys was just the accepted default.

The court ruling in this case cites a precedent involving somebody handing a loaded gun to a person who said in an impulse that she wants to kill herself and then actually did and another case when people were sentenced for playing Russian roulette until somebody "lost". FWIW, I agree with the first case but the second one is stretching it IMO.

Ultimately, you can't really disagree that most of the time, people generally want others to live, whether they like it or not.

McDonalds problem is the same problem they've always had. The food just isn't very good. It never was. No amount of spiffing up the storefront or juggling menu items can help them when competition the likes of the above moves in. All they're doing is driving their prices higher which helps the competition even more.

Something feels wrong about this supposed requirement. I just stated facts. I don't want to insert disclaimers, signalling, agreement or something like that on the surrounding issue. It strikes me as a crazy social ritual.

Note that I have nowhere made a statement on the case in general.
I rarely comment, but the article, until the last page was great. It felt very bait and switch -- pull you along with the story, then, oh yeah... you could vote for this guy, and be just as terrible as he is.

While the article is very biased against him, which I would usually feel is fine (and without further researching the topic, I'd agree he seems pretty terrible), but if there's a possibility that this is politically motivated let people know up front. Why not add his political affiliation early in the first page, instead of waiting until the very the end?

And to be clear, I don't believe that he "invented email."

Food blogging is an enormous market. The best foodies don't get money from Adsense though, it's through sponsorship/affiliate deals, books if they hit it big.

It's quite a stereotyped field though, and I would imagine it's a saturated market. Everyone wants to be like Deliciously Ella [1]. Don't even try unless you have a studio setup for the photography. Lots of food authors are pivoting towards more (usually female oriented) "lifestyle" blogs which happen to have recipes.

A lot of food blogs target healthy eating, or niche diets like keto/paleo. There are also tons of specialist food blogs covering bread, cakes, etc.

>Memories of Soviet children’s literature linger today. Immel recounts a story of a Russian colleague who visited her and spotted some Raduga pamphlets. “He knew exactly what they were, being old friends from his childhood,” she says. “He picked up the copy of Kornei Chukovsky’s Barmelai, illustrated by Mstislav Dobuzhinski, and began reciting it from memory.”

"Barmalei" is an innocent poetry, filled with kids-oriented story of two kids, evil~cannibal man and Dr.Aibolit ("Dr. Ouchithurts") in Africa. [1][2] If you feel that the auhor was on heavy drugs, don't worry, that was typical these days. But try to find propaganda in that.

I don't know if you were looking for feedback about the game, but the ease of losing progress quickly made me stop playing; because I was more likely to stop playing right after losing, you might want to make it take a longer time to advance levels, or to add multiple lives so that you don't lose all your progress suddenly.

But I don't know how that would affect my likeliness to see the ad. To improve that, maybe add more natural pause points to the game, so people can have more chances to click?

What's your secret graffiti name?
I can relate to that. I guess undefined behavior makes it somewhat harder to write correct software. I've definitely read someone make the same point.

The problem is, you can't always know if (for example) you're reading from an uninitialized variable, unless you run the program with the possibly infinite number of valid inputs, thereby also solving p != np.

In my opinion, undefined behavior is what we have and we had enough time to learn how to deal with it. If at all possible, compilers should be able to detect UB, so I can use compile flags to make UB an error. Changing the language to "define" undefined behavior, might turn it into unexpected behavior and I wouldn't like that.
At least we've learned the lesson with newer languages.

> I'm not sure it is possible to convince someone

It is possible, but first you have to open a real dialog. That isn't going to happen without first learning to speak their language, because this is "More than just Resistance to Science"[1].

> Only new facts will do the trick

Arguments based on facts are useful when trying to persuade people fluent in the language of science and logic. Unfortunately I suspect only a minority of the population has sufficient understanding of data-focused language. Most people instead see language as phatic expression[2][3] first.

A good example of this from the other side of the language divide that still retains mutual intelligibility are Trump's repeated - and often self-contradictory - promises that he would "build the wall". People that primarily use language to convey facts often claims his rhetoric sounds ignorant, useless, or xenophobic. Trump's intended audience, on the other hand, hears the language of emotion that promises protection. Trump isn't trying to convey facts, so self-contradiction and other ignorant claims are not important.

To reach people on the other side of this divide, it is probably necessary to first learn their language of social hierarchy, emotion, etc. Skipping that step and continuing to throw facts at them is about as useful as sending them a textbook written in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

> Merely hot water on the other hand does not pose that particular risk.

Now you're being silly. If you checked that link I posted below then you'd see that there is hardly any difference in damage done with 100 versus 88 degree Celsius water at the same exposure times. Both are pretty much instantaneous and will give you 3rd degree burns in a matter of seconds.
And it's sometimes helpful, but sometimes a big pain because you just wanted to pipe it into less.
I mentioned this in another post, but I believe this is how most seriously profitable bloggers make their money. They don't go for Google ads, they go for affiliate deals and sponsorship.

It's a smarter way to do it because the adverts are usually far far more relevant to the audience. Nothing annoys me more than generic clickbait advertising ("Release your equity!", "What did these 10 people do to get rich?", etc) which I'm never going to click on. On the other hand if I see a food blog sponsored by e.g. KitchenAid, I might have another look at their mixers.

If you have the readership and a trusting community (or reputation), it's a no brainer. This is how Daring Fireball does it too.

Affiliate links are another good way of subtly making cash - look at people like Ken Rockwell, who was once the de facto "Nikon Guy". His site was (is?) the go to place for Nikon camera/lens reviews. There are no ads on his site, but every damn link is affiliated (and why not?). This is also a very sneaky way for airline reward bloggers to make tons of points: they find the deals, everyone goes through the affiliate links and earns their meager 100 avios, while the blogger makes a tidy referral profit. The guy who runs Head for Points [1] made thousands when the Curve Card was released.

The thing that bugs me most about your comment is that it introduces fallacious groupthink (argument based on authority I guess) that makes it difficult for anyone with a different opinion to speak out: "if you trust such and so (i.c. Alex Jones), you're a moron a priori." This type of reasoning should be discouraged on HN in the same way that "did you even read"-type comments should be (and are) discouraged, because I think that both stifle civil and open discussion. And both of these things can be said in better, less excluding, and less hostile ways.
At least in Poland there was "official" truth (taught at shools/media) and one that was a bit closer to reality that was taught at (most) homes.

I think this may be related to slightly different history - Poland was invaded in '39 by Russians as well and suffered fair deal of their atrocities - it wasn't possible just to eradicate knowledge about that.
