The price of a car is not inversely related to the likelihood that its owner does maintenance and repairs himself or herself. Sports car enthusiasts do more of their own maintenance than the average car owner. As an example, check out rennlist.com for Porsche owners, many of whom have cars that are well over $100k in price. If anything, shelling out that much cash for a car should entitle you to priority access to parts for the vehicle.

RDD, REPL Driven Development (2014)
I'm actually rather surprised that companies like Google aren't offering solutions to integrate ads into the delivery of the page content itself rather than JavaScript at this point, as it's pretty easy to block the specific domains serving ads. It seems relatively straightforward; the ads would be pre-rendered on the server providing the response and could send the same info a script would for the most part, especially if there was an auxiliary script you could load from your own domain. Not that I'm endorsing the idea, it's just that it seems like an obvious solution to the usage of ad blockers.
Never considered a regex attack blocking the event loop. Not something you would consider with apache or nginx.
Promises made some very valuable improvements to code patterns relative to callback-based implementations, but as a broader "nodejs vs synchronous style code" its still much harder. You sound pretty versed, but other folks might struggle. Here is an example explanation:

https://pouchdb.com/2015/05/18/we-have-a-problem-with-promis...

If we're trying to show the simplicity of modern nodejs code with non-blocking I/O, I would suggest we lead with examples like:

const foo = await queryFooObject(id);
await writeToFile(foo);

True, there's still plenty of value in promises, especially for things like:

await Promise.all(severalParallelQueries);
> The primary risk factor for type 2 diabetes is genetics, but excess weight, obesity and lack of exercise also contribute to this alarming medical trend.

How does genetics compare to age as a risk factor? The article touches on age later (even saying that the risk rises exponentially after 65), but doesn't give hard numbers, and I've had a hard time finding any that seem both relevant and credible. The closest I could find was a summary of a CDC report [1] (edit: actually the source for this article; I didn't see the link before) that found 4% prevalence of diabetes in the 14-44 age group, 17% in 45-64, and 25% in 65+. If genetics is an even bigger risk factor than that, it seems like it's a huge factor.

Really excited to hear that Coshocton is still working on solutions like this.

The following is supposed to be sorted by upload date, but as you can see 17 hours < 1 week. Is this a bug or a new google sorting algorithm?
I was under the impression that while some pure domain blocking occurs, a lot of the rules engines seem to be written against page content that matches specific patterns, not specific domains, so I don't know if it would help serve more ads that much.
You've just described internet advertising circa 1997. Then Google came along...
Too easy to fake impressions. And it would break with caching.
[EDIT: As other commenters have mentioned, the simpler answer is that OP's ad is probably an instance of click fraud. Setting that aside, though, the phenomenon I describe below is likely still in effect, even with players playing by the rules.]

I imagine that every stakeholder wants verifiable information that the ad was viewed. It would seem to be a problem of both trust (if some centralized ad server was to stream the analytics server-to-server to the stakeholders, there's no guarantee that that central entity is telling the truth, no way to verify unique IPs, and every economic reason for it to lie) and scale (why pay for bandwidth/CPU for a centralized server to make server-to-server connections when the end user can foot the cost).

The problem is that the number of stakeholders has ballooned significantly, the same way that any sizable financial market will attract intermediaries like flies. And now we have an untenable situation.

AppNexus is possibly the only player I can think of who's built both trust and infrastructure to address this, and indeed they are rolling out products like this: http://productblog.appnexus.com/get-your-logs-streaming/ ... but it's very possible that the ecosystem becomes fragmented faster than it becomes consolidated.
There are plenty of ad servers that offer APIs for doing that.
I suspect the only way ad companies would trust this is if the pages were served from a third party (someone not directly making money off of the ads).

I've seen some other pretty abhorrent behavior as well. The specific instance that comes to mind is an ad that would load all the resources and content of its click-through landing page into a hidden part of its own iframe. Then in the off chance you click the ad, your browser cache is already warmed and the resulting landing page loads fast. All of that for the 0.1% of us that click ads. It boggles the mind.

A high rate of comments can work against a submission as it can trigger the "overheated discussion detector" which is used to work against flame wars. User flags (which suppress ranking even before the [flagged] tag appears) as well as mod weighting can affect ranking.

From the FAQ:

> How are stories ranked?

> The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in comment threads are ranked the same way.

> Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which downweights overheated discussions, and moderator intervention.

Most people need to replace their technology about as often as their batteries, so there is no incentive to cool them.

But the reasons they need to be replaced often is more about 1. Not keeping them at/above 40% charge, and 2. Laptop batteries don't balance the cells. Most laptop batteries can get 80% capacity back just by replacing one or two crap cells.

Not really, all these shenanigans occur in a nested series of iframes. The original webpage that served up the initial ad iframe can't see down into these. Whatever supply partner the webpage is using doesn't want to shed light of this to the publisher or else that supply partner may be replaced.

This issue is illuminated to some degree by 3rd party ad analytics companies that monitor this via crawlers and user panels. This problem is also attacked from the advertiser side that will use 'viewability' providers to ensure their ad is, well, viewed.
There are other ad server as API companies that provide raw logs of event data. Even DFP has that.

I think this is a short-term issue just because error correction is so good. We have many error correction algorithms that approach the theoretical limit for efficiency.

Eventually error correction will take more bits than it saves and the number of levels per cell will stall.

I would say our SSD's are actually much more resistant to errors than hard drives were. Because the error correction in spinning disks is generally crap.

With flash, manufacturers have been forced to include extremely good ECC schemes because cells die all the time. Since errors are generally random and happen in large numbers, the life of the drive becomes predictable instead of the death cliff we used to see with spinning disks.
How come immutability is never mentioned? The only technical requirement for your program to be functional is for every variable to be immutable. That's really it. Every other functional concept is derived from this one rule.

Years ago when Matt Drudge used to have his radio show on Sundays (ah, the good old days!) he used to say that Google is fascism. He didn't mince his words, it was pretty much a constant topic for him. And that was 10 years ago. Since then, Google has grown, extended itself in all kinds of ways, including its Washington lobbying. People are always concerned about big pharma, or big agra, or big Monsanto, or big banks. What about Google, a multi national company that knows no limits? It follows you, it knows where you've been, it knows your sexual preferences, it knows what you eat, your hobbies, your contacts. Everything, just to show you an ad! It also decides on what speech is acceptable, what website is eligible to exist. Where is outrage? Where is the left fighting against the multinational behemoth, the big corporate brother?
While true, using a browser for mining doesn't require the user to have any cryptocurrency, or even know what cryptocurrency is. It also has a similarly opaque cost to them (in the form of electricity).

The article paraphrases Ellul criticizing the modern world, "mankind no longer saw technology as merely a tool but now pursued its advancement as an end in itself. Society served technology, not vice versa. Individuals were valued only insofar as they served this end." That was a major influence on Kaczynski.

When you say it's tragic that he didn't end up contributing to mathematics, you're judging his life by the values he revolted against.

All the ones I see are slanted, for example [1],

> "In their net neutrality fairy tale, internet service providers (ISPs) are the ‘big bad wolf,’ bent on creating paid ‘fast lanes’ and blocking the websites of entrepreneurs (who invariably work out of their garages). It sounds like a frightful tale, except that ISPs have never offered paid fast lanes or blocked small business owners’ web sites (run out of garages or otherwise). Meanwhile, the biggest baddest wolf the world has ever known — Google — swallowed the internet ecosystem whole and spit out its bones."

Do you have a citation for that article, because I'm extremely sceptical estate tax is the main reason.

You have to basically be very wealthy to pay the estate tax. Only one in 700 estates pay federal estate taxes today, and while the top rate is 40%, the average rate paid is 17% (https://americansfortaxfairness.org/tax-fairness-briefing-bo... ). Currently, a married couple needs to have an estate over $11 million before that pay any estate tax. I always thought liberals had very poor marketing with the estate tax: conservatives were very successful framing it as the "death tax" (a lot of people thought everyone had to pay it), while I always thought it should have been called the "aristocracy prevention tax".

It's seems much more likely that smaller family farms wanted to cash out and move to the city because farming is pretty grueling work, a similar reason for urbanization all over the world.

If the ads were static (e.g. advertiser A bought a specific place on one of publisher B's pages, for a month), and advertiser A didn't want independent verification that the ads were seen, then your proposal could be simply implemented.

"What am I missing?"

Many ads are served after real-time auction: whilst your browser is loading and rendering the page, an auction is going between advertisers for the ad spot(s) on the page. The auction happens quickly, but it adds latency. Adding a reverse proxy would add further latency, and would remove the ability for ad networks to properly target ads (e.g. using cookies) and account for impressions.
