Qantas are doing streaming in an app for some domestic planes now (pretty much all the ones that hadn't got the upgrade to the seat-back screens - all their planes that fly international have screens though). It's actually really good - an iPad has a way better quality display than anything I've ever seen in a seatback and the content library is larger if anything. All they have to provide is a USB charging port and a thing sewn into the seat that you can hook most cases over.

It's misleading to say that there's no planned support for Internet Explorer – Edge superseded Internet Explorer so all new development is going into Edge, not Internet Explorer. Service Worker support for Edge is under development:

Ask HN: Have you lost your motivation?
I'm not sure if this is necessarily the place for this, so feel free to take this post down if so. Over the past few months, I feel like I've lost a lot of my interest in programming, contributing to software projects and tech in general. It's been a passion of mine for many years now and I feel like my motivation has just gone. The problem is I still want to keep writing and contributing code. I'm not sure if this is just a phase, or whether I'm just in some sort of rut. Has anybody else gone through something like this and if so, did you ever get back into it, or what things have motivated you to do so?

Wrong assumption. There's loads of people out there without a Google-account.
I like my job but it is not EVERYTHING I like to do. I work with adults with developmental disabilities, it's really awesome. I also manage employees/families/employers and do various relationship building at work. This can be pretty tiring, I'm not a very outgoing person but I can turn it on for what I need to do at work. After many years of this I'm now much better at it. But I like web development too, so I pick up little freelance gigs or work on civic hacking projects in my community. One day I might switch to development as the main thing, in which I would expect to do some volunteering and such with the people I serve now. I have always found that combining jobs and hobbies can produce great overall results for me, though I don't agree that every given day/week/month needs to be "balanced" in a certain ratio. I do what's in front of me, and if I am restless to do more of something or hang out with certain people, I go do it. No need to get everything from one source.

I've taken a big step back from start up culture. I don't work more than I have to, I travel more, I meet interesting people. The funny part is now I feel more energized and connected with what people really need. Very little of it has to do with apps or algorithms.

My feeling when being in startup mode was essentially the sunk cost fallacy. I've already put this much work in, success must be around the corner. But I look at some of my peers with similar mentalities and you can't help but feel they're too focused on the day to day without realizing the product and demand is garbage. Life is short, enjoy it.

From what I've seen (and I haven't really been following this), they're rather using old electric car batteries to do that. Electric cars have been around long enough for there to be old/broken ones available now and most of the cells in their banks are still good.
And those are the more savvy users who actually care about their privacy a lot.

If I may draw another parallel:

There are also loads of people out there who can migrate out of the system (China/Google) if they don't like. And those who stay with the system (China/Google) seems to be fine with the system knowing their identity.
It's 2017, you should be mature enough to shrug off language like this, and distinguish between slang and formal meaning. Differing ability always becomes an insult, and if you knew anything about the march of language, you'd know that this is a treadmill you cannot catch up with.

It's not language I use or agree with, but my opinion isn't going to change something that turns out to be fundamental to how people communicate. You need to learn how to live and let live.
Ion thrusters will not produce enough thrust to move something that big within a single lifetime.
Fission will in essence be a steam power plant on that ship since RTGs do not provide sufficient power.

Ion thrusters still need fuel, so you need to store gas, to move something that big it would be one heck of a gas tank, and which point thermal nuclear propulsion might be a better choice if you are mad enough to have a full nuclear reactor in space.
My second job was a Linux consultant, Python / Java Developer. At that time the salaries was rather poor as everything with money involved Windows and .Net. But I found Unix technologies a lot more interesting, especially for learning and solving the really hard problems.

I really enjoyed that job, the problems we solved were challenging and fun. And I learned so much, I accepted that lower salary as I bet on Linux, Python and Java knowledge would be in demand later. And today I'm really happy that I specialized in these technologies, because the market has really changed in my favor the last three years.
The funny thing about that is, at least when I worked in the oil business, I'm not sure I've seen another industry that threw around the "engineer" with more abandon for technicians of all stripes.

I'd note that's a case where a business is representing themselves as an engineering firm and, and in some situations, it would be reasonable to expect that meant they employed licensed engineers. (The specific case is pretty silly though so is calling themselves engineers.) But individuals certainly call themselves and are called engineers all the time who aren't licensed in Texas and everyplace else.

On the one hand those advancements are being used to enforce users only view whats deemed appropriate, while on the other hand it's used to maximize your time-on-screen by stealing your attention in increasingly ingenious ways.

> Realistically nobody will ever see your content unless you advertise heavily, or post on a platform that uses your content to sell its ads.

Care to elaborate why this should happen? Do you believe the "Google will rank you bad if you don't use Adsense" conspiracy theorie?
I am absolutely inclined to agree and will never forgive Adblock Plus for such a busted and hypocritical business model!

Fortunately for us, we have uBlock, which is open source and is also the basis for AdNauseum.

If it really is futile to spam the spammers, then small blogs indeed will be the sole losers here.

What is worse though, is that the internet is already a terrible place in aggregate for intelligent content to make money.

It's basically given away for free, or sold to very specific buyers (usually people who are purchasing consulting or are hiring smart people for full time).

So, not many people make ad money off of high quality content, for two reasons: too much bad content is drowning them out, and too much good content being given away for free

Every system has a weakspot. You just need to know how to exploit it.

but I'd rather people just said "I don't want to pay" rather than making up impossible criteria for why they shouldn't pay

But there is a market for content. E.g., a relatively small German newspaper (Taz) has a 'voluntary paywall' (which you can basically click through without paying) [1] and still they earned approximately 0.5 million Euro so far this year:

https://www.taz.de/Archiv-Suche/!5436670/

This is besides regular subscriptions and a system where you can buy shares in a 'cooperative'.

Another, more well-known example in these confines is Linux Weekly News, which besides relatively non-obtrusive ads, offers subscriptions [2] to see new content immediately (rather than after a week).

Good for you.

I've been through a few incidents where my building should have been evacuated but wasn't due to incompetence or disinterest. In one case, several of my employees who were unable to negotiate stairs (due to injuries) were accidentally left trapped and unevacuated in an elevator lobby during a minor fire. They picked up the emergency phone and the response from the police was literally "WTF do you think I can do about it?"

The response from my employers fire safety people when we complained was threatening to write a discipline referal for me because I didn't send people to fire training. (Three of the folks working for me were firemen who were delivering the training!)

Don't assume that anyone has their shit together. Understand how to evacuate from your home and office and bug out when shit happens. Don't be like those poor people in WTC who followed instructions.
You could just place some forum, blog or whatever on such a domain. Of course there wouldn't be much or no content at all. But how do you want to prevent this? With a "there must be regular content updates" rule? No problem, just create some nonsense text with Markov chains or copy some wikipedia pages. Now you would have to add a "Content must make sense" rule. Much fun to enforce this.
Well, at least it's a web project.

It's not that bad I believe. With the way PR companies and political parties are using astroturfing/bots to influence public opinion, asking for identification is one way of making sure the person participating in an online discussion is real. It also safeguards against online foreign influence.

Additionally, I think anonymity tends to bring the worst in us. Perhaps it is because we feel less pressured by social norms of behavior since we are not held personally responsible for our speech as much as it would've been the case irl. While no one is truly anonymous to the state, asking people to identify themselves makes them conscious about it and I believe less likely to start using a given service under the assumption of anonymity.

The Hindu Temple as a Model of Fractal Cosmology (2015)
From the creator side, the internet sidesteps the need for the huge investments needed by all other content-delivery systems. No need to print thousands or millions of books. No need to set up a TV or radio station, or a movie or recording studio, or convince someone who owns that infrastructure to publish your stuff.

From the consumer side, the only investment is an Internet connection and the equipment needed to access it. More expensive than a single book or a movie ticket, but practically limitless once you have it.

So yeah, no one wants to pay. I'm surprised that anyone pretends to be surprised by that.

Advertisers are parasites. They need a host to survive. Almost no one cares if they don't survive, including the content creators and the companies with products to be advertised, if they can figure out how to make money without them. There's the rub.

Your busker analogy is actually perfect, by the way. The content is freely available because the busker chose to make it so in an effort to get an audience. Then the busker is outraged when someone doesn't pay? Under what theory of justice is the busker outraged when people take him up on his offer of free content?

This is absolutely excellent. It's the kind of article I always want to write when I dig into Ubuntu's dark underbelly.

Arguably it might deserve a more descriptive title?
A refreshing read. Was expecting a satirical negative take on the complexity.

However, this only covers a small part of front-end development with VDOM based approach, and a few ES6 constructs (destructuring, arrow functions, let-const).

The author misses out on mobile development, Node JS and NPM modules, server side, and Electron-based desktop apps.

It's a good thing to take the positive approach, and get introduced to some interesting, low-barrier-to-entry items. At the same time, it would be prudent to keep in mind what lies ahead.
There was a London to Singapore (via Bahrain) flight for a few years. But, in addition to having various restrictions because of noise (and not just over the US), the Concorde had a max range of about 4500 miles. So,it couldn't do a trans-Pacific route without refueling--which would negate most of the time advantage.

Papers I like (part 3)
Thanks for telling us what we do at Whatruns. I’ll let the team know ;)

On a serious note, I'm with you on how new start-ups go overboard with buzz words. As for WhatRuns, it was intentional that we do not use any jargons to advertise our product on the website, Product Hunt or HackerNews, so that it does not lose its charm.

For a new startup to achieve this scale in technology identification and accuracy compared to established players with more than a decade of development (and data), it is self-evident that manual labour would not yield such a result. In fact, technology breakthroughs and an excellent technical team were the reason why we decided to give this shot in the first place.

We plan to publish a comparative study on our experience with the effectiveness and superior prediction quality of deep learning vs normal pattern identification on our blog (which we will soon move to Medium). Stay tuned! :)
You overestimate the amount of impact adnauseam makes. Users that click on many ads on one page within a short time window, but never convert? Obviously fraud that's being filtered, the user will be blacklisted on both the supply and the demand side, and you very quickly make no impact at all, and will most certainly not disrupt the flow of revenue for anybody involved here. That's not some outlandish futuristic technology, that's standard practice for any half-decent player in online advertising.
I was trying to show that humans can't be purely relying on certain kinds of ML algorithms because those algorithms can't provide properties which we observe in our thought processes.

Yes, but while it's not there we can't say that the model is aware of the process of its own learning. The question serves as an experimental test of system's awareness of the process of its own learning.

All in all, I tried to make poorly defined terms like "awareness" and "the way humans think" a little bit more technical.

I've often questioned the somewhat symbiotic nature of scam sites and googles ad revenue - if things were too easy to find, there would be less need for ads in the first place..

Not that the simple existence of such a program precludes this.. they could just be using it to tune the equation when the sides get out of balance..
I've elsewhere put the view that configuration management tools more or less fill this role, as they build on the existing nature of filesystems: spread your stuff horizontally into tree structures, so it doesn't collide.

Most of the ordering dependencies don't show up until runtime. The bits at rest can generally be played in any order.
