To many people this map has little value because it includes nuclear power. The article explains that this is a problem too.

So why not try to create a map that takes the nuclear waste/accident problem into consideration.

For example France would look at lot worse since they are mostly run on nuclear power and the northern European countries would look more like an "environmentally friendly lighthouse". Which they are, mostly because some of them get to use easily exploitable geothermal energy.

It would also be great to get an insight in the source of your data you've based this map on.

I consider all forms of advertising that distract me from the content I'm looking for bad for me. I don't want flashy colored banners telling me what I should buy. There's already plenty, plenty of distractions already, and advertising is one of the poorest forms of it. I don't think I'd mind if advertising, in its current form, died.

> As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile.

This is (IMHO) a flawed and dangerous view, as by clicking on the ad you provide valuable information to the provider (I.e. that you visited the website on which the ad was embedded) and this information can be used to build a pretty detailed view of your browsing habits. As the largest ad networks have very high coverage on many domains (Google e.g is present on more than 80 % of the top 100k most popular domains) you will give them a wealth of data about you, which IMHO is a privacy nightmare.

They could reroute that money into the products themselves. Cheaper prices, more quality, it's their choices.

IMO tags with filters is better than trying to create an applications hierarchy, particularly if you only place one link for each app in that hierarchy.

Tags for function, and major alternatives are probably needed if you want a high degree of discoverability.
The controversial thing is "targeting" and it's profiling prerequisite. One may not realise the extent of this (say on FB) but have a look:

http://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2016/06/27/facebook-ad-tar...

What worries folks is the disproportionate power to influence afforded to private interests. Not just advertising or political campaigns but constant influence on daily choice.

It's an ethical question: should not the direction of society be determined through democratic means? Should we not vote, be equally informed and try to be good citizens? Does the control of information flow undermine this?
And if there is a change in the political spectrum, will you still trust them? My government lost my security clearance application to who knows who. In return, I got some credit monitoring and a form letter.
I think the "do you want hidden ads instead?" is a bit naive as well, to be perfectly honest.

It misunderstands the nature of advertising and advertisers.

The kind of person/organisation who will target you with fake news and paid-for or ghost-written articles or books (which incidentally, is an increasingly large number of popular publications already these days) is not the kind of entity that says "oh, well i've got banner ads, best hold-back now in the interest of good-faith relations".

Advertising does not voluntarily stop. Advertisers do not hold back in the name of decency. It generally expands until it is either stopped (through legislative and societal bans, not having the rights to advertise in a particular place, or until it is cost-prohibitive to do so) or until the eyeballs stop looking (either because it has lost power or become so obtrusive that people either block it, turn to substitutes, turn off or push back).

> most ad-blockers don't actually block ads; they just block cross-domain, spying widgets. Nothing is preventing you from showing a self-hosted, untracked image that's actually an ad.

Most ad-blockers I know of use cosmetic filters, which can hide any element from a page, including self-hosted and non-tracking ads (see https://www.troyhunt.com/ad-blockers-are-part-of-the-problem...). Sadly, showing ads that are respectful to the user is not that easy...
Surely that's more a question about storage, as in saving the page:ad-link history of a billion IPs, rather than maliciousness?
I wouldn't think it would be 20% slower; that would be going from 850km/h down to 680km/h. The big problem isn't so much that it is much slower but in fact the slower speed meaning a higher angle of attack which leads to more drag. At altitude commercial jet liners fly at a set angle of attack to reduce drag, so maybe flying a few percent slower might lead to less fuel usage, but more than that and the increased drag eats away at the savings.

I suspect your frustration is due to your team. However Angular isn't helping either: http://jasonwatmore.com/post/2017/01/24/angular-2-custom-mod...

A good set of components for your library of choice should make a modal dialog that works and has flexibility e.g. https://bootstrap-vue.js.org/docs/components/modal/

That said, a modal dialog can be very hard to implement, depending upon needs (centering in viewport, mobile devices, stacking multiple modals, form modals with popup controls above them, preventing tab key allowing focus to go to form behind, plus many other hard issues!)

Hey there,

I'll start with the disclaimer, as lately HN comments have tendency of becoming toxic - everything I write is my personal opinion.

With that behind us I can start. I'll try to write this for someone who knows very little about JS, but knows her/his way around basic programming/cs.

Firstly I love JavaScript, I have been writing it for 10 years now, but there are bad parts of it as well.

Let's start with good stuff

* It is evolving in the right direction

* You can do a lot of things with it (web apps, games, mobile apps, server...)

* Materials for learning are everywhere

* It will be easy to find a job

Bad stuff

* It is moving at crazy to follow pace

* There are a lot of different ways of doing same things

* As it is very hip thing to do, there is a lot of bu___hit (beware of the hype train)

Learn plain javascript before moving to frameworks. Focus on ES6 and new stuff as it will make your life way easier.

* Someone already mentioned Dr. Axel Rauschmayer, pick any of his books - http://exploringjs.com/

* Another good one is You Dont Know JS - https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS

Try to make small app on your own. You'll get into all sort of problems, but that's the fun part I guess. That will help you to understand what frameworks are trying to solve.

Then you can start learning one of the frameworks. React, Vue, Angular are all solid choices. My pick is React, as I know it best. Apply the same mindset as with learning plain JS. Try to write your own stuff on a small scale before importing huge libraries.

Good example is redux, everybody on the internet are screaming that you should always use it, but even Dan Abramov (author of redux) has great read - You might not need redux https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be4...

Try handling state yourself, then if you see that you need big guns, try redux. Same goes for any big library or technology.

So, buckle up, do it thoroughly and try to find fun in doing javascript. And the most important generic advice - do a real pet project instead of just blindly following tutorials.

This will take some time, and if you just want enough knowledge to lend a job, pick a framework, throw yourself into the deep end and swim your way out. This is something I wouldn't recommend but it works for some people.

Hope this helps, cheers!

> 2Kb of extra bandwidth

Images, animations, auto-playing videos... ads are much larger than 2KB. 2KB for the network overhead alone, maybe.

Until you realize the same people that are crying out now have been doing this before. Kas Perch, one of the agitators,

https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/900414216888139776

they're breaking their own CoC daily, but that's apparently fine because hating on white/men/straight/christian is considered PC.

Why do you give these sick people lee way is beyond me. They are bullies and they should be recognized as such.
I have been thinking along these lines for a long time now. But never had the courage to breakup with my first love - tech. But more & more, i am able to see the pointlessness and the absurdity of professional tech work!

What do we really do ? Make people click ads ? Increase productivity by making people stay connected even after office hours ?

What happened to all the family values and community ? What has happened to trust ? What has happened to the beauty of relationships if you dedicate all your time to "productivity" and learning "new stuff" and office ? Few are lucky to work in a place where personal time is respected (i am lucky in that sense, at least so far) but majority of people (and my own previous experience in tech) clearly shows that there is too much mind share we willingly give away to our work! This isn't healthy.

One can never be fulfilled in this way. I hope the tech world wakes up to the reality of individual aspirations instead of capitalistic greed!

And we should really engage in constructive criticism and conversations around this topic.
Do you really believe they don't store that already?

One thing I couldn't find in the vizzes is that Europe shares its energy grid for a large part. This means that a large portion of energy consumed in say Germany might well be produced by a nuclear plant in France. It's harder to reflect these flows and get data for it, but I assume it changes the picture.
Are you saying that gasoline cars do not pollute? Check this out: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22126432

Electric cars can be (and are) charged with power generated with low pollution methods (solar, wind, water turbine...), while a gasoline, or worse, diesel powered car, will always pollute. Additionally, e-cars are more power efficient, even after subtracting line and charging heat losses.

Coal burning power plants are a problem on their own (e.g. high mercury emissions), so those should be shut down entirely IMO, and not be used to cover e-car power demands. They are problematic anyway because they can not change their output much, making them inflexible for modern requirements.

Literally nothing else seems to be working, so poisoning the advertising well strikes me like a fair tactic.
one day you'll run a business and your opinion will likely shift as you'll understand it's purpose.
This seems to be the current 'ad-positive' argument de jour. But I don't buy it. There is plenty and always has been plenty of free content on the web. It is very cheap to publish.

But advertising has led to the collapse of the small business or hobby website. Realistically nobody will ever see your content unless you advertise heavily, or post on a platform that uses your content to sell its ads.

Advertising, as far as I can see, has had a negative impact on the democracy of the web. And lead to an increase in the domination of big platform holders and brands.
If you are not running an ad blocker they already know you are visiting those sites from the trackers accompanying the ads, now they will also see a click from you which will make their database about your interests become less accurate.
I meant rights to the GPLed software/library in use. Not to independent works merely aggregated on the same medium.

Correct. Glad someone has heard of it at least on hacker news.
Perhaps if you don't want people consuming your content, maybe you shouldn't have put it up on a web server that freely takes and communicates to their requests.

Its like people forget (or just don't care about) history.

The web started off advertising free.

THEN people moved in because they thought they could use the communication medium for a business opportunity.

NOW you're telling people not to consume from the medium that YOU moved in on.

Its a ballsy position :)
>This is wrong. JS has service workers, and sharred array buffers.

Service Workers are not really threads as the runtime environment is still single threaded no matter what, you just have the ability to spawn a new process. On top of that browser support is sketchy at best, with no planned support for Safari or IE.
> Most performant CL implementations require the ability compile to executable code at run-time.

Not really. Most performant CL implementations make sure that at runtime nothing needs an actual compiler, unless the application actually needs it.

For example the LispWorks on iOS implementation supports the whole Common Lisp, minus the runtime compiler. It's still possible to use the interpreter, though - AFAIK.

Through advertising alone? No. From a purely business perspective, it's shit. But we subsidize it through our other ventures because we want the users to have access to the content.

You're right in that the "War on Ads" is an unwinnable war. But I think its more analogous to cleaning your house, or good hygiene. Its true that its a just a matter of time until your house, or yourself, will become dirty again if you don't do anything. But I don't think that's really an argument against cleaning.

Rather, its just the reality that you're never going to get down to zero.

But maybe if we put up enough of our own barriers, then our families can live in an environment with 10% of advertising influence and exposure instead of 60% or 80%. And i think that's a fight worth fighting.

I might not be able to get rid of advertising, but I can block ads, I can stop billboards going up, I can stop them advertising cigarettes/alcohol or gambling in certain times and places, and I can never let the tv shows or ghost-written books into my house. And overall, I think we'll live in a better world overall if people make the effort. Its the good fight.

As for ad-blockers being responsible for advertorials, fake reviews, forum spam and influencer marketing...lets just say it takes a massive leap of logic to turn a problem solely due to the behaviours of advertisers and try to level that at the feet of people trying to stop them. Wow.
also: energy on the grid can and will be optimized (we see that trend in germany, however it begins really slowly), however forcing car owners to use the new diesel/gasoline car techology will probably not happen.

I think those descriptions are a little too subtle and too nuanced. Broader generalizations that make more sweeping claims would work better to make the point.

Why not dump your entire life savings into it right now?

Because there's risk, it fluctuates, there's no guarantee it will always go up. People need to decide to what degree do they want to invest and be exposed to the risk and reward. Say someone decides they want 1BTC of exposure, and are contemplating buying an item of 0.01BTC. Would that really be a big deal? Small changes in the degree of exposure shouldn't be a financial problem to worry about.

I used to work in ad fraud detection (eg. publishers buying fake clicks) about five years ago and fake clicks were a bigger problem than people talk about. I would be surprised if 4chan is more than a drop in the bucket.
To be fair I'm using a mbp 2013 and I tend to have a lot of windows opened (usually 50-60). It worked perfectly with expose not with mission control.
It is a soft form of fraud when they know bots and dodgy apps are being allowed to take clicks as legitimate advertising. There are tools that pick this up as well as analysis to encourage refunds from AdWords but for some reason Google have lagged on this technology, dispute a massive information advantage. Maybe it is innocent reasons. But I don't believe that. So I feel they are doing fraud in a light form by not improving tools as well as they can to remove bad clicks and take the payment.
