> Ads ruin the reading experience, and subscriptions don't work at scale for all the sites you visit once or twice a month.

One thing to keep in mind that newspapers and other print media that have subscriptions also have ads. Subscriptions never covered all (or even most) of the costs of in the majority of publishing. One of the things subscriptions do do is require the subscriber to place a value on the content they're paying for (more than whatever piques their interest as they're browsing the web), which in turn puts pressure on the publisher to publish what keeps people paying for the content. This can make the per-view/per-click value of the publication higher. (There's also the issue of figuring out ways to be able to provide content that can't easily be redistributed elsewhere without authorization.) We haven't really gotten there on the internet yet.
OLED screens are lovely in many ways but after having a Galaxy S6 that I had to return twice due to burn in I avoid it now. It just isn't worth the hassle of having to get the phone repaired/replaced. It took Samsung over a week each time to replace the phone (for free) which was a royal pain in the ass.

I know OLED tech is getting better and maybe with Apple putting an OLED in the iPhone X it means they (well Samsung as that is who makes the screen in the iPhone X) have "cracked it". However I am going to wait a couple of months to see how things play out before I jump on the OLED bandwagon again.
If you made 1000x as much money as you do now, you would probably buy much nicer house, food, clothing, entertainment, etc.

But you probably wouldn't spend 1000x as much on that stuff, because after a certain point, your needs are fully met. You could probably always find someone selling you bigger / more expensive things, but past a certain point it doesn't do any good -- a 25-room mansion is impractical for a family of four.
I believe it. I had a home lab when I was a child. The Web didn't exist yet, but I read the scientific publications that were available at the library. It used to be common enough that there were books published about how to set up a lab and do research at home, like there were about setting up a home dark room for photography. (More recently I met someone who even had his own NMR (second hand, non-superconducting, but still) at home, was doing sophomore ochem lab activities at home at age 13, and left for university by age 15.)

It takes a child of remarkable interests and aptitude to win a national competition, of course. That's why you're reading about her specifically. It also takes unusually supportive parents. A sizable minority of American families with children could afford a home lab, equipment, and supplies if a child were so inclined and the parents encouraged it, but I suspect it's rarer for parents to OK funding it than other costly-but-more-common extracurricular activities or adult hobbies. Half of the battle is just having parents who understand you well enough to support what you want to do.

"The lzip format is as simple as possible (but not simpler). The lzip manual provides the source code of a simple decompressor along with a detailed explanation of how it works, so that with the only help of the lzip manual it would be possible for a digital archaeologist to extract the data from a lzip file long after quantum computers eventually render LZMA obsolete."

Additionally there is a separate public domain version for those allergic to GPL:

Because in most cases that I have experienced, no, you are not running the sdl through a generator to create a client. You are instead instantiating a http client, setting the right headers, urls, package bodies etc, all by hand. Something which is done in lieu of using a code generator because its trivial with an HTTP web service.

Furthermore, with an http api and depending on your security model, you can test/inspect a good portion of your APIs directly with a browser - a zero-cost client for all http apis that you get for free.

This is correct, and is a reason why genome informatics has been moving away from representing the genome as a single linear "reference" sequence of 3 billion nucleotides, and towards a graph-based model: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5411762/.

Insomnia founder here. It now does format links but it opens them in your default browser instead of making a new request. That's definitely on the to-do list.

Yup! There are a number of great cities that offer free lead testing services. Unfortunately, it seems to be the exception - not the norm. And often these aren't the places that need it the most.

Also, using city provided services can 6-8 weeks to get results. In an experiment I did with one city's free testing service, you had to call them to place your order. I got a voicemail. It took 4 months to get a call back.

We provide results in less than 2 weeks from when you ship your water sample off to the lab.
Then again, the language is 'Go.' I am not sure that was the best naming choice and I've heard complaints that it was initially difficult to search for it. My understanding is that 'golang' has helped as a query. So, I guess the situation has improved but I understand it was problematic at first.

To be clear, I've never used the language. I actually dislike programming, though I've decided to get back into it because I have a couple of projects I want to poke at. I'm now deciding between Java and Python.

Maybe I should do an 'ask HN' submission.

Sure, I'm not trying to say that this stuff is very plausible. My point is that we do have some reasonable indications that some of our hard and fast laws might be more slippery than is commonly thought, and given the strangeness of consciousness, how it works could be pretty slippery as well.

Imagine that human civilization survives and progresses for 100 million years. Do you think that they'll be able to look back on any of our "laws" without laughing?

At that point we'd likely be far beyond Dyson spheres, harvesting large quantities of antimatter, solar system scale particle accelerators, artificial black holes, quantum supercomputers, etc., etc. Whatever would be discovered is almost guaranteed to be unimaginable by us.
What if it were pure “archival C” whereby the project maintainers defined the undefined behaviors? And I don’t think it would need SIMD optimizations and such, it’s not designed for performance so much as to keep code runnable.

It’d probably require some sort of VM specification too, maybe java is a better choice. keeping the code “alive” by keeping it in a project when it’s never used doesn’t seem like a strong guarantee that it will still work when you need it.

It claims that the tribe SRC used for this is suing Microsoft and Amazon for patents related to super computing. It looks like a federal court can still invalidate patents even if that board cannot.
That still doesn't make any sense.

You could have a dimmer that goes from one level of lightness, up to another, with 8 steps in between. And you could have another dimmer that goes between exactly the same two levels of lightness. The same range. but with 1,000,000 steps in between. The range of the two dimmer switches is the same. They both go from the same minimum to the same maximum. Just the number of steps in between is different. The number of bits represents the number of steps.

Why is 1,000,000 steps the required number? 1,000,000 is just the number of integral factors in the range in base 10. But why is an integral factor more important than a fractional one? They could both be perceptible to a human. The range is the same in both cases, and the given explanation was given that the range was so high.
Sustainable growth is an oxymoron.

The economy is a dissipative system.

It consumes energy/creates entropy to sustain itself. In its current state it already consumes more than the earth/sun can supply. Having it grow even more means consuming ever more energy (fossil and nuclear fuel is finite, the sun light is constant), and generating ever more entropy (i.e. pollution, heat, and ecosystems destruction).

Edit: also, improvements in efficiency have historically lead to a global increase in energy consumption because of the growth they spurred, and you can't get past 100%.

I'm not sure why I'd use this over Postman, which is platform independent. I know some people are offended by the wrapped web-ish UI, but most of the devs on my team don't even know what an Electron app is and they use Postman everyday. And with Postman, we can run it on Windows, OS X, and Linux. And then there's the team collaboration and scripting it...
Instagram launched several months after the iPhone 4, which had a pretty great display: http://www.displaymate.com/iPhone_4_ShootOut.htm

It wasn't perfect nor did it hit sRGB, but still pretty darn good for photos. As you say, they didn't color manage but they did a great job factory calibrating and selecting panels, and thus the lack of color management wasn't really an issue in practice, at least when designing apps. About 2 years after Instagram launched, the iPhone 5 came out which had sRGB.

The point still stands that the displays weren't the reason insta photos were filtered - it was driven by camera limitations and the culture / artistic sensibilities that Instagram imbued in the product.
That is a solid point. I am very interested in learning more about the revenue break-down here between ads and subscriptions. If you have access to any resources, pls fwd them on.

From my research, the average internet user generates between 11-31 cents in online ad buys a day. It seems the the numbers here are low enough that a decent % of online users would choose for that $ to go directly to a publisher in exchange for a clean reading experience. At least that is the theory.
It's amazing how many commenters seem to be embarrassing themselves by trying to be the first to wildly misunderstand the problems being discussed and reduce them to trite memes. You're not even disagreeing with the thrust of the article in your vehement objections.

Yes, this indicates the article was poorly written. I advise you move on rather than reflexively attack nothing.
I remember seeing a post from you about your marketplace, along with a thoughtful explanation behind your tactics. It sounds like you have a great approach that's working really well, and I really appreciate you sharing all of that info.

Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you push it to $500? Your market, in my naive outsider view, seems to have the discretionary income to handle that.

I ask because I'm wondering at what point do you determine you've set too high of a price? Was there considerable drop-off in conversions near that number? Or a gut feel?

I don't know what this feature is not widespread enough.
If someone is looking for a 100-year programming language, C is a promising contender. If you go back to include BCPL and CPL, that gets you back to the early 60's. However LISP goes all the way back to 1958, which gets it to the 59 year mark, and it's still in use.
Thanks for the links. It's good to see that there is ongoing development to improve the situation.

It would still be nice to be have a Spring Boot app work on a 512MB container but even pretty simple ones don't seem to.
There are so many differences it's impossible to list them. In general, Postman focuses on having every feature under the sun (integration testing, mock APIs, etc) whereas Insomnia focuses on the core of just being an HTTP client with additional helpers to be more productive. The result being that Insomnia is not suitable for as many use cases but is has a better user experience because it's more focused. Insomnia is also open source software.

You should really try them both to figure out which one best suites you.

P.S. I'm the developer of Insomnia.

How did you fix the root issue?
There's a hard ceiling on efficiency though. You can't get past (or even near) 100%.

Historically efficiency improvements have lead to such an increase in productivity that the total energy consumption went up anyways.
Let's wait and see if Apple has similar issues when the iPhone X comes out. We already know they're facing supply chain issues, perhaps the bottleneck is due to low yield on the OLED component.

Another way to explain it is that for every two dimmer settings you can create, there is another luminance value between those two settings that you could have as an additional setting if you wanted. When do you stop adding new settings? Why stop when you have a million settings? Why is that a magic number?

Apple tends to be willing to pay more for the parts and they have very high quality standards.

That said they’re not immune. There have been a number of displays Apple used in the last few years with retention issues (I think the original rMBP has issues) so it’s perfectly possible.

If they made the gamble they must think it’s ok but as someone who plans to buy an X I can say it does worry me a bit.

Edit: another comment points out their keyboards. That obviously hasn’t been going well either.
The Nazis were elected into power through democratic processes

This is not true. The high-water mark for the Nazis was 43.9% in the 1933 election, far short of a majority. Hitler was appointed chancellor in a shady backroom deal and shortly afterwards banned all other political parties.
My current model of how the brain works comes from this helpful gloss of a very technical book, Surfing Uncertainty (http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/09/05/book-review-surfing-unc...), which lays out the Predictive Processing model of the brain that is (apparently) the working model for those at the vanguard of neurobiology presently.

I'll try to summarize (my own layman's understanding of) the Predictive Processing theory further here, for people who don't want to read the article:

As the PP theory goes, not only is the human brain a "general-purpose prediction device", but it has no other components. When we think, we're simply making predictions for the way the world will be a moment from now; and then we attempt to reconcile those predictions with the image we get of the world a moment later. In equal parts, depending on our confidence in our senses vs. our confidence in our model, we either do this by "learning" (i.e. correcting the predictions to match the signal) or by "acting" (i.e. correcting the signal to match the predictions.)

The latter, "acting", is done by simply playing out the error signal (i.e. the difference between "the way the world is" and "the way the world should've been") to motor neurons, which interpret those error signals as motor commands. We seek to be less confused by the world by forcing the world to become more like our model of it!

And (terminal) preferences—those are just persistent exogenous-to-the-predictive-process chemical messengers that bias neurons into outputting a different "world that should've been" than a disinterested observer, only interested in predicting, would've generated. This causes the brain's "acting" process (i.e. correcting error by changing the world) to change the world in the direction of one's preferences, rather than in the direction of one's model. In effect, brains minimize error between the world that they observe, and the world they'd like to observe.

PP theory doesn't say much about where those exogenous chemicals come from, but obviously the neuroendocrine system exists, and consists of a bunch of glands that throw chemicals at the brain.
This data only goes back to 1975.

For comparison US obesity rate in 1950 was 10% and considered a problem at the time now it's 35%. North Korea might not be twice that, but it seems like every other functioning country is.

Recipes are not copyrightable so there's no such thing as "stealing" them. They are passed around freely without attribution all over the virtual as well as physical world, that's not uncommon. It would be nice if BuzzFeed could cite where they got the recipe but it's not strictly required and they don't know of where they got it was the original source or not. Anyways, give me a break, bacon weaves are hardly a unique idea. In fact, they are really overdone.

Most internet recipes are made by food bloggers and grandmas, not executive chefs.

"Too many cooks spoil the soup" doesn't mean "most people can't make good recipes."

Tasty existing doesn't preclude pretentiousrecipes.com so I'm not sure I understand that criticism.

Obviously anecdotal, but I've had similar experiences. Granted I haven't really worked with any _other_ bootcamp grads, but we have a handful of junior developers who've attended Flatiron and they're all really great. They're way better than a lot of so-called "senior level" developers I worked with elsewhere (cough financial industry cough). I've been extremely surprised and happy with all of them.

And 11 year old girl with parent(s) who were likely heavily, heavily involved. And the media loves a "look what this child did!" story, when in reality, their parents did the bulk of the work / study.

edit: bring on the downvotes. this forum seems to really hate anyone who is slightly pessimistic / realistic. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying that the likelihood of an 11 year old organically doing something like this is very low, compared to say, her parents putting some strong wind in her sails.
Not really, Apple is sourcing exclusively from Samsung based on rumors. It's the FaceID module production that's causing supply constraints.

The 7 is a great phone and it’s cheaper now.

There has been a guess at the reason: people want the X. Thought is after the reviews come out and say it’s not that great, or people try to preorder and get told they have to wait until March they may give up and buy the 8.

We’ve never had a situation where there are two dates the iPhone comes out on before so we don’t know how much thats effecting demand for the 8.
