The way the app works is that as you scroll you see more ads interspersed between headlines/topics. You click on one and you can comment and then go back to scrolling. Or maybe you're done with that topic group and you switch to another. More scrolling.

20 sounds fine to me.

If it helps, think of the way people sit on hacker news or reddit waiting for the next story to come out, navigating down to comment, and then back to the next story. There are a lot of people who only do 1-2 impressions and a lot of people to do 100.

And if you're still unconvinced: 10 ads only double your CPM estimate; A popular four-lettered sports site charges between $1-3 CPM for "un-targeted" display advertising, and $3-5 CPM for demo/interest targeted.

Fascinating! What are some of the limitations of screen scraping that are addressed by accessibility APIs? Is it primarily the unreliability? Do you envision using an accessibility API as the primary source of information, with screen scraping as a fallback?

So yes, pulling out the phone that you don't have with you is a deal breaker.
Is that true because you're privy to the results of that experiment? Or is it true because you're most comfortable with Markdown and are starting from the unshakable belief that Markdown is intrinsically easier?
The Austin fingerprint law was a voter initiative passed by Austin citizens. The state of Texas overturned it by vote of elected representatives from across the state. I think the latter is much more a "state intervention".
That's a viable workaround most of the time.

Unfortunately, it causes another problem: You can't use a keycode-based (as opposed to keysym) configuration without switching your keyboard back to qwerty.
Truth is what majority people like are just BuzzFeed taste stuff. And that is exactly what Toutiao is producing and excelling at distributing.

Yes and that's what's so depressing about it.

As engineers, wouldn't it be cool if the most valuable thing we could do was building tools that are inherently valuable instead of valuable because of the tool's ability to connect users with someone who wants to buy their attention?

True, though sometimes that choice may involve something paying for necessary medical care or caring for a child. You could choose to do neither, but not in practicality.
I'd really like to know the mechanism used for this. Currently Apple has issues with macOS firmware updates done on networks with proxies.

Specifically, the Touchbar updates have no concept of proxies and will cause the machine to appear to hang for a while (~20 minutes, IIRC) on boot when they can't directly phone home. This is a big problem on some large corporate networks.
There is still money to be made in this but you have to network a lot because getting clients online is super hard and very competitive. So generally just be good at marketing yourself or business.

Been doing this for over 4 years.
> So much for the will of the consumer, eh?

I think demand is a better proxy for the will of consumers than any law or legislation. If the citizens of Austin refuse to use Uber or Lyft they will disappear without any legislation.

Deja Ubuntu still Kinda SUcks Again

I fry my AMD black edition 965 x4 and motherboard 64 bit.Was content staying with Ubuntu 15.10 since it allowed my obsolete AMD video card to work while subsequent editions didn't.

Relegated to my HP mini 1116NR with two MB ram I got the resident XP 32 bit running pretty zippy. But I wanted my Ubuntu back so I went and installed Ubuntu 17 and then 16 but neither of them made running my onboard Broadcom modem possible.

I try 15.10 and the modem works flawlessly at installation and thereafter.WTF? Why am I screwing with modems years after that was no longer a problem.

Fine. But now Ubuntu 32 bit is slogging along barely working and after digging it appears to be the
if you plug in USB stuff IRQ/9-acpi goes nuts on the
processor and virtual processor on the N270 Intel chip and takes up %100 of the cpu so nothing works.
No apparent work around works shutting off acpi and others so I unplug the USB hub...

But still performance sucks. It turns out that COMPIZ
is eating to much cpu as well. Support the new desktop and the crappy guess what you want search for applications and other crap menu shit thing that has all thosefilters and tie ins to services...which I ignore and install classic menu instead all the time anyway...

So then I install the Xubunt Desktop log out log into
it and that goes flawlessly. My machine humble 32 bit
mini is able to function fairly well...although consigned to obsolete browsers since my platform is only 32 bit it takes some tweaks to get Firefox and CHromium to perform adequately.

So obliged to head back to a small ram 32 bit machine
on Ubuntu if you move past 15.10 you are screwed.
And old bugs aren't fixed. And Modems start not to work all over again. And Compiz Desktop can't funtion without being a hog on the CPU and who really needs it anyway with that crap guess what you need search menu thing.

And systemd or not Ubuntu has gone the wrong way and
as a desktop has no backward compatibility and past
15.10 it can't run a broadcom modem in 32 bit.

And deja vu all over again it doesn't work out of the
box and one is jumping through hoops to make Ubuntu
work because the latest versions are for people that
have the latest hardware i.e. money and its not desktop software but some sorta everything pseudo phone software that is not even forward compatible with a damn Broadcom modem.

So things haven't changed when things that once worked don't anymore.
A fun game to play with any Tyler Cowen article is to ask, "How is he playing dumb this time?" You'll always win.
How do I get onboard the ML/AI bus? Or do I wait for these smart people to figure it out and then I'll just call their API?
Do people really want to exercise without their phone? It seems like a non-starter for the folks that go to a gym. I run with a watch and Bragi Dash. The onboard storage of the Dash works fine for me, but most people end up using the bluetooth because they want their phone available for browsing the internet all the time anyway.

That's exactly what I thought too. Apple generally prefers to limit features in order to provide adequate performance/usability. The moment hardware gets advanced enough to handle the features without issues, they build them in.
If you're not having problems with Graphite, I'd leave it in there. I haven't worked through the Prometheus stuff yet, but I think it's probably a solution if you're growing out of what you can do with Graphite in terms of scale.
I agree that the $100,000 is very small for election ad spend. However, I think Cambridge Analytica's alleged ability to target voters should not be discounted: it's possible that they've optimized for specific enough characteristics that effectively make Facebook's ad cost algorithm(s) think that certain campaigns are not as valuable as Cambridge Analytica does.

I'm linking a few general things about Cambridge Analytica here, but nothing specific to my hypothesis:

I don't think that one ad campaign on Facebook swung the election, but I also know that there is a difference between dumb money and smart money in a lot of domains, and ads could just very well be one of those things.

Well, thirty from notting hill to heathrow by mini cab for me. If you mean the actual city that would maybe 55. Not sure if you mean the city, say Liverpool Street, or west end something. In any case that extra cash went straight to the driver I'd guess. Black cabs cost more, but for completeness, I'm guessing you didn't need to pay that much.

Your second paragraph makes it seem like those weren't really humans - "cleared out", really? And having been decimated by plague diseases makes shooting the survivors equivalent to crossing a border illegally so you can work a better job? Maybe my knowledge of American history and politics is poor but those do not seem like the same thing at all.

Becoming rich (assuming it’s not handed to you by your parents) isn’t about how much you earn [0], but about how much you save. If you earn $120k/year, but only spend $20k/year, after five years you will have half a million in the bank.

The hard part is convincing yourself (and your family) that you don’t need to go that resturant or you don’t need that new car. Obviously younger people have the advantage here, as they typically have less attachments.

There’s a point where this can get a bit too extreme, but it depends on what’s important for you. Having that house within walking distance of your office, or cycling 10 miles to work and retiring at 35? If this is interesting to you, take a look at the various financial independence/early retirement communities.

Bonus points if you make sure you team is building the right thing. Sadly it's too easy to spend lots of dev time on something that will never make the company any money.
To be honest, Markdown feels simpler because it's quite less featured than Org.

If you put a Markdown document and an Org document implementing only what Markdown can, there's no readability difference between the two as I know both markup style fairly well.

> Every company I've worked at has needed more great engineering managers.

Has every company you've worked at been successful or at least rapidly growing? There's plenty of cake to go around in a company doubling in size every year, but the daggers come out when there are layoffs twice a year, particularly when the people being laid off aren't SV software engineers with tons of other options.
A nuclear Japan would create instability and could easily lead to war in the region - possibly with Japan as the aggressor; at least that is what their neighbors see. There is still great hatred and distrust of Japan in SK and China, in part because Japan never adopted Germany's overall rejection of and contrition for their WWII actions. For example, there's not an annual question of Germany's Chancellor paying respects at the graves of Nazi war criminals. The U.S.'s defense treaty with Japan is a cornerstone in keeping the region stable and safe - it takes the Japanese offensive military force off the table.

Things are changing though: As nationalism is embraced and fanned by leaders, not just in the U.S. but in Japan, South Korea, and China; and as democracy is de-emphasized as a fundamental right and superior form of government and is treated more like just one alternative among many; the idea that peace and human rights are paramount is being pushed aside in favor of national power. We've seen that movie before, many times, and we know how it ends.

Also, the U.S.'s foreign policy capability and credibility has suffered great blows around the world and in East Asia, under Bush and now under Trump. Can Japan and SK trust the U.S. to protect them - if not, their instability greatly increases. They must trust that the U.S. both decides to fulfill its promises (as the U.S. threatens to or does fail to meet its promises under other treaties and promises, from NATO to Paris to Iran to Syria to NAFTA to multilateral institutions), and to capably, effectively execute a major war (Congress' sequester has badly reduced military capability, Congress is unable to act, the Commander-in-Chief doesn't inspire confidence in an essential role, and the military's failures in low-end wars in Iraq and Afghanistan makes it look limited)? Also, the role of the U.S. is to provide stability and to support democracy and liberty, but those don't appear to be priorities for Bush and especially for Trump.
Wait, I thought exonomist was a typo. Does it mean anything different than economist?
> Do people really want to exercise without their phone?

Yes. If I'm exercising, I want to carry the absolute minimum. If I'm doing a lot of daily tasks, I want to carry the absolute minimum. If I can get by without something phone-sized in my pocket by wearing something watch-sized on my wrist, I'd prefer the former.
And at least two of them have a undeserved reputation.

Loved this. Many thanks to the author for brightening my day!
Could you please elaborate, what kind of design you're referring to, here? What dependency injection do you see so vastly changing, here?
While I agree with your first sentence, I strongly disagree with your second.

If someone is only "looking at stuff and eating" as they explore the world, then they have given up on exploring themselves (maybe temporarily, maybe permanently). There is plenty of opportunity and reward for growing ("exploring oneself") when you're older, and choosing not to is simply the path of least resistance that many/most people seem to take.

Lots of younger people seem to think that the spirit of life starts to die after some age (30?) or life event (having kids?), but based on people I know who have passed these milestones, that is completely not a fait accompli. Quite the contrary.
In order to store them you have to serialize them.
I downloaded this and Qbserve both over the weekend. So far is seems like Timing is better (but time will tell). However I am irked that I can't see the whole day for adding 'tasks'. For example yesterday I went out around 5PM for a movie. However the day kinda stops around that time as well.

Would shading have done the job? Not to say that's a _good way_, but it _is_ a way.
"Disenfranchisement" is an understatement at best. They were being exterminated. However, I don't think the world was entirely aware of just how bad it was. Information travels much much faster nowadays. At any rate, there is no other nation or point in time prior to the 20th century that you can pretend those values even exist. Even "equality" itself is a Western value. Every nation in human history has spilt blood, has violated basic human rights, and has been tribalistic in it's treatment of outsiders at various points in history. We could all be living under a North Korean-like regime right now, but instead we live in a privileged Western society that loves to loathe itself.

You're hand-waving away both ease of extraction and also the minerals that were worthwhile in the industrial and pre-industrial ages. North America had plenty of iron and coal, and it was easy to get them around, and also easy to extract and use them for most of the year (the temperate climate). Minerals you can't reach or can't use are not useful - there was not a lot of call for Tantalum in the 1800s.

Compare to Brazil, which is a tropical country choked with rainforest. There's a reason why industrial powerhouses develop in temperate zones, and not in tropical ones. Or look along the Andes, where there are a lot of minerals, but there's pretty hostile geography.
But in Dallas, they couldn’t come in and own the entire downtown. So, clearly that is a non-option.

Now, Detroit — they could pretty much buy the entire city for a song, and then destroy whatever they want in order to build the new environment they want to see. But Debt-roit doesn’t have the greatest supply of techies, and they would have to spend a lot of money to make it a nice enough place that people would want to live there.
Running outside, I definitely don't want to carry my 7+. It's large and I have the watch.
Yep, this happened, but still doesn't change my point that these huge, extremely well VC-funded firms are not so much the giant drivers of innovation the article makes them out to be.

If anything (as mentioned in another HN article I saw today about the slowdown in new business formation), these huge, "winner-take-all" tech companies may be a net negative for innovation in the long run.

14 Best Markdown Editors for Linux
Agreed on battery but it raises a question of UX vs battery life. I'd rather have a very useful watch for 6 hours than a mediocre one for 18 (less on the newer LTE models apparently). Audio is in many ways what should be the killer app for the watch. The watch should make it so I can go on a run and leave my phone at home, but omitting features like this make it a lot more difficult to fill that role.

The lifetime of a $350+++ Fitbit/notification screen is limited. Apple needs to improve the software side quickly - the hardware has come a long way from the first version.

Things like omitting error handling are just poor software design though.

This is not so easily done in a cold or hot climate where air-conditioning or heating are needed. It is the reason why most people outside of the SV bubble can't do it.
> Also, it would be helpful if PCIe, HDMI, USB, Thunderbolt, etc. drivers ask permission of the user before automatically connecting devices inserted into PCs...

Thunderbolt 3 does exactly this (at least on Windows). When connected to new hardware it asks whether to approve it or not (e.g. for Dell dock I had to approve both the dock and the cable).
I beg to differ. X11 2D primitives are "actually fine" in the same sense that there were "very fine people" marching in Charlottesville. By which I mean "not actually very fine". ;)

Probably we are agreeing past each-other. I meant they were OK in a very board sense that you want primitives for drawing lines, drawing polygons, filling things, blitting things etc. I think you agree with me about that.

And I also think we both agree that the details of those primitives in X11 were a disaster.

> We're really arguing value systems here, so I don't see what a study is going to bring to the table.

As far as I can tell, mostly we're arguing at cross purposes. I'm arguing that saying people who buy a single bottle of water maybe 5 times a year are "lazy and apathetic" and a "sign of mental decline" is an unreasonable and inconsistent view. This is given the other choices that most people make on a daily basis (including say, buying a phone, using electricity etc. etc.).

You're arguing... something to do with people who buy large quantities of bottled water? This is a point I'm not even disputing...

> That, and it's not just a matter of energy. What about the litter? What about BPS/BPA leaching? What about the neglect of public systems because everyone with a little extra cash just says "not my problem" and buys a case of Nestle every week?

People who buy a case of Nestle every week are a separate issue, and not what I was discussing at all (please see the thread I'm responding to). It may be possible to make a reasonable case for dissuading people from purchasing bottled water in large quantities (you might try and do that through social pressure/marketing, or taxation or some other method).
Because the useful types of optimisation around undefined behaviour aren't:
"we can prove that your program definitely contains undefined behaviour, so we'll compile it into 'rm -rf /', mwahahaha"
but rather:
"if property P about your program is false, then it would definitely contain undefined behaviour, therefore P must be true"
followed by using P to do useful optimisations.

This applies even when your original program contains zero undefined behaviour. Warning here isn't useful.
Oh My Green (YC S16) is hiring a head of marketing and account managers
But is that popular four-letter sports site in US or China?

Typically, ad CPMs follow income levels/disposable incomes in the country/area the user is from. The quality of data the advertiser has about the specific user is also important. For example, since a lot of the tracking is illegal in Germany, even though incomes are similar to US, the CPMs are lower because US has more highly cookied/tracked users with higher CPMs.

I’m not familiar with the Chinese ad market, so asking if anyone has concrete experience there and thinks such CPMs are plausible.

It's all anecdotes and YMMV and all of that, but my work machine is a 15" 2017 MBP and I use it day in and day out running Xcode, Sketch, Paw, and a few other things and it doesn't crash any more often than my personal 15" 2015 MBP (which is rarely). Current uptime is 17 days, with the last reboot being tied to an update.

I suspect that either the 2017 spec bump fixed the issues present in the 2016 version or the crashes you mention are tied to specific software.
