Stop visiting sites that use ads you don't like. "Vote with your feet"
Is it? The user would have to be making a misrepresentation by doing so. Is clicking an ad link really a statement that meaningfully communicates anything? Or is the advertiser merely inferring a meaning and getting it wrong for that user?
Languages change all the time, adding or removing meanings from words isn't that remarkable.

As for why, it's the same reason people make substitutes for a lot of things. I have coeliac disease and cannot eat any gluten-containing bread, so I make substitutes using various gums and binders to replace the gluten. Even though it isn't the same as a gluten-containing bread it's still useful.

Same goes for alternative milks. An emulsion of fats and water is a useful substance even if it doesn't come from an animal. It binds tannins in tea and coffee and has a nicer mouth-feel than plain water in breakfast cereals.

> I've got a cat who hates traveling, and we are best friends

Awww! I'm in a similar situation. Have you considered getting a small camper van and customizing it for the cat (litterbox, water dish, food station etc) and travelling around the country in that. Would save on hotels also and once you are done, you can sell the van and made back most of your $ invested in purchasing it. I'm toying with this idea.
Depending on how exactly you formalize that argument, it would go through just as well for necrophilia. Yet it's not true that people supporting opt-out organ donation implies they support opt-out necrophilia. So I think most people reject your argument.

Let's assume there are some people whom have many years of hiring people effectively. Whom among them is going to trust a computer at this point in time? Also, what potential candidate is not going to be immediately insulted or lose respect of a company so lazy it can't even be bothered to do one of the most critical tasks without outsourcing it? Sounds like another "something for nothing" panacea service.

Curious, not trolling. What kind of gastrointestinal issues does one develop from programming / sitting in 1 place?

This is spot-on, in my opinion. All they need is someone who is demonstrably competent and experienced to stabilize the ship and steer it towards an IPO.

There's no need for the candidate to be a visionary or meddle drastically with something that's already working extraordinarily well. That part is largely done - the Uber machine is mature and chugging along.

A seasoned operator needs to come in to provide PR cover, put in some basic organizational guardrails and rebuild the executive ranks to get the company IPO ready. Hiring a CFO is probably top priority as well as getting PR back on track. Those two moves alone would suppress external distractions and start the IPO process by having someone working on it full-time (CFO).

Let's see if Dara can pull this off.
What if it isn't heading that way, what if thats mostly just hype? I think its easy to be smug and pretend to know whats going to happen, but if predicting trends was so easy, nobody would ever be suprised by anything.

Is the economy a zero-sum game? Just because some people are making money doesn't necessarily mean others are losing money.

And even if it is a zero-sum game, it would be a form of wealth redistribution from rich consumers to poor consumers. No one wants to advertise to poor people, they only want to advertise to rich people. But making a product ad-supported makes it free for everyone. Rich people's eyeballs are used to subsidize poor people's content.

The site guidelines ask

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I don't have any insight as to why this particular comment was down voted. (Edit to add: I suspect it was down voted because it misquotes the source material.) If it's something you're really interested in looking into more in general, I suggest searching HN for other discussions on votes and taking some more time to think about what might cause someone to down vote, whether you agree with the possible reason or not.

As an aside, just because a comment is true doesn't mean it's somehow immune to down votes. Comments in general should be civil and constructive.

My feelings about reddit gold:

I subscribed to reddit gold for a year. Removal of ads wasn't a big benefit to me since, as you know, I could achieve the same with or without reddit gold with ad-blocking. There was obviously no point in me whitelisting reddit and then toggling the ads off in the settings. I was, however, happy to be supporting reddit.

However, in the end I've never purchased reddit gold again. I have been gilded a few times. I did whitelist reddit in my blocker again.

The reason for this was because I didn't see reddit improving much. No visible features were being launched (gold gated or general) that improved my experience, so it was hard to see what I was supporting. So I stopped.

On lots of others sites, it's clear that a subscription is for the content. Reddit is just the platform, though. In that case, gold was touted as additional features, some of which would be eventually be released for every user. I'm not sure how many features that happened for, but I can only recall hearing about one.

To be fair, this was years ago. However, nothing since has tipped me towards supporting reddit again and I don't think I'm likely to hop back onto gold anytime soon. Only recently has reddit started to appear to launch some stuff that would have kept me supporting reddit through gold. I'm sure I've been missing things as announcements these days seem to be spread out across many different subreddits that rarely hit the front page.
You're exactly right. I meant to add that to my comment. Euro wines do usually tend to really stand out with food, and really do pair well with it as you said. Good point.
Exactly.

It was such a massive breach and it was surprising how little press it got. The "Russians" hacking the election with flaky evidence has gotten magnitudes more of coverage.

And here is detailed information about current and present government employees, many in the intelligence agencies, tens of millions of people total probably. Including biometric data like fingerprints, deeply personal stuff like past transgressions, addictions, financial trouble, health information -- these are things that could be used to approach or entrap someone in a blackmail scheme. And comparatively it was barely a blip in the news.

CIA if I remember correctly was the only not affected. But it is not unheard of people moving between agencies so there is still risk there.
Romanian villages and small cities have problems with flooding almost yearly. And there's also the risk of earthquakes.

>> I guess I think we can do much better than "smart typewriter" as a way to interact with executable data.

> The interface provided by Lisp is way different from Smalltalk and opens up a fully new perspective: computing of code.

I suppose my point is that the s-expressions are an illusion - it's been a powerful tool to let people see you can, as you say "compute code", which I see as a proxy for "compute logic" (where "code" is a string, and logic is executable).

Perhaps we'll have to agree to disagree - but I think the surface syntax allow "logic" to masquerade as "text representation" - while really being opaque binary streams - and that little is gained by holding on to them on general principle.

Not nothing; they certainly remain a useful representation - but like lisp shows with prefix and infix notation (quote and dot/pair) - there's really not that to be gained by such ungainly syntax.
My question was entirely rhetorical. I thought it important to clarify that the post was factually correct, and one should not take its font color as an indication otherwise, even though that is usually a sensible assumption regarding downvoted posts that are simple statements of fact.

Incidentally, when did HN guidelines start privileging entertainment value? That is certainly at odds with what I consider the spirit of this community to be.

And to take your point, "disrespecting the environment," what do you suggest we do to counteract that in a way that would have changed the outcome in Houston? Who are the best people working in that space?

FYI: "Some thoughts on security after ten years of qmail 1.0" (by DJB, of course).

Abstract:

The qmail software package is a widely used Internet-mail transfer agent that has been covered by a security guarantee since 1997. In this paper, the qmail author reviews the his- tory and security-relevant architecture of qmail; articulates partitioning standards that qmail fails to meet; analyzes the engineering that has allowed qmail to survive this failure; and draws various conclusions regarding the future of secure programming.
This is a shameful project and hustle. To think that a 10, 000 year old culture that is heir to such marvels as Mohenjo Daro, Sanskrit and the Mahabharata cannot provide it's ordinary citizens with a daily supply of reasonably clean water -- how far have we have fallen, o ancestor.

It is astonishing how the Indian public continues to tolerate these scams and hustles that go against their basic civic rights. Modi got elected from UP while promising to clean up "Mother Ganga" -- and 3 years on, the filth is still as bad. It is a completely hopeless culture.

God save us from these tricksters, blackguards, greedy businessmen and politicians.

I now log into reddit very rarely and only to correct errors in comments where I am actually somewhat experienced.

I've been gilded more than a few times and I've never come to know until the expiry notice shows up.

So it's actually hard to tell what the reddit gold buys one, apart from virtue signalling that one is a "supporter."

Now if the gold bought me to ability to turn off all comments, see what the mods have censored off the various subs, and actually extract some value off the site, I'd pay up in a flash.

But as it stands, reddit has lost any credibility that it ever had, and logging in that toxic mess provides no value to me and too much value to reddit.

In short, not a site worth supporting in any shape or form.
