Yahoo pipes did it before, now https://github.com/nblock/feeds was linked in this comment thread today.

I think the problem is that scraping everything except waywalled info may be legal (in Europe, at least) as long as it's for personal use, but may get you/me/whoever in trouble if we start redistributing that content in RSS feeds. Then again, most of the resources won't even bother if you scrape them into RSS unless they make money of ads (haha, find a resource that doesn't) or overload their servers. But IFTTT model might be a nice workaround where users actively need to use some community recipe to scrape and they assume responsibility.

"how their work on the Purism phone makes their laptop any better"

So you are obviously right that proof of concept of fully FLOSS ARM phone doesn't directly translate to x86.

But it does show that they know how and want to build fully FLOSS systems. Whether they don't quite succeed 100% with the x86 system (as the management engine is still in my computer, albeit isolated and disabled), they have been making great strides in getting close to %100 and I am willing to reward them for that.

Regarding the morality of buying Intel chips, I do share the reluctance to support Intel. I hadn't bought a new Intel computer or CPU since 2007 with Core2Duo for that reason. But sometimes morality decision can't be made in a binary all or nothing manner. In this case I am aware of the damage done by purchasing an x86 system, but it makes up for in being able to have a productive labtop which I can more effectively work to make FLOSS applications with.
I'm right there with you. Always find it weird that people associate language so strongly with intelligence, and consciousness. First, I'm conscious when I'm aware of anything. I don't have to be thinking. Second, my thinking is 99% non-verbal except when I'm communicating to another person or imagining doing so, and even then it's only partly verbal. Almost all of my thinking is in moving or rotating 3D spaces and objects.
They would never design their own. That's why it says COTS (commercial off the shelf) all over the Snowden catalogs.

I use nomorobo and highly recommend it.

They don’t store your contacts in the cloud and access to contacts is even optional (though they won’t be able to block spoofed ‘neighbor’ calls if you don’t give access, but they can label them).

They also market themselves as focused on privacy and they charge a $2/month subscription.

I haven’t gotten a spam call since I’ve used them.
How much effort have you put in to date? How much are you willing and able to do over say the next two years? Since you said you haven't tried to make money from the site, do you actually want to turn this into a business?

I think you might actually be asking "50k sounds okay, can I get more?". I'd suggest asking yourself "What's the lowest number I'd obviously say yes to?"

I only used SnapChat a few times. From what I saw, it is a virtual message channel to make funny/silly face style communication with others, which is what many 10-19 yo need. And I actually did a simple analysis to explore some fundamental needs for that age group based on where their activities happens. And the communication method SnapChat and similar services offer fit what they want perfectly when being used as a massager. As long as they can hold that ground tight, they still have chances.

Also, Tencent just acquired some portion of SnapChat's equities. It has very strong and long track record and experience to make a lot of money from that age group, though in a different culture settings. It might be a 50/50 bet. Unfortunately, I'm too poor to buy in their stocks now and bet on the mid term.

I tried this on iOS and it doesn’t work well because it turns off all other notifications.

While calls do get through from your contacts, you don’t get notifications for anything.

I really just want a contacts whitelist, but since that isn’t an option I use nomorobo which is a subscription service that works really well to block spam calls for $2/month. It’s an iOS app, focuses on not uploading your stuff to their servers, and doesn’t collect your call logs.
True, but in that regard Facebook almost equals it. But yeah, it's worrisome for both - luckily also mostly blockable on an individual basis.
>other than e-celebrities, but you can't call that a job.

I think this job catagory hides a lot. E-celebtrities do not gain a following for doing nothing. They do something that gets them followers, and that something is their job. I also do not see a reason to exclude sponsorship/Patreon from this catagory; as that just seems to be another method of monetizing the same work. I also do not see why podcasts and webcamming do not fall into this catagory.
The internet myth is that it doesn't work but all you have to do is answer and ask them to put you on their do not call list.

Not give them a big tiresome speech about how they are breaking the law, just ask them not to call anymore ("Please put this number on your courtesy do not call list"). They actually don't want to waste their time...
There's actually a subfield called 'scientific workflow systems' (SWS). An example of such a system is Kepler [1]. What the author(s) ask at the end of the article seems to me basically that they want process provenance. This is a fairly well studied problem.

> My fried claimed that it's impossible to think logically (btw. etymology of word logic is "word" or "what is spoken") without verbally running the the words and sentences in your head.

In this case, would numbers represent “words” in the language of mathematics? When I was younger and sharper, I used to see products of numbers physically manifest in my mind. This is a form of logic, but it also required an “alphabet” of sorts.

As an aside, I once saw an interview with a mathematical genius of sorts who stated that he associated numbers with colors. He saw the product of two numbers as a third color. Again, logic without traditional language.
Eh, I'll give you that Google's products are not always superior, and that it's likely that the alternatives are better for use cases. However, when I _do_ use Google's products, it's mostly because I prefer them to the alternatives, not because people are bugging me to.
I feel part of the reason is that processors such as MT6261 are getting cheaper and cheaper. The marginal benefit of producing a simpler and smaller design is likely going to go away quickly.

It is the end-game for hardware. Software has already been gobbled up by language designs which are less and less hardware-near for the very same reason.

Snap's ARPU is about $1 per quarter. Surely the core demo can afford even a 100% markup on that?

My problem with any ad model is it incentivises the maximisation of views/engagement that allow for more/stickier ad impressions which means a proliferation of viral/tabloid/divisive content like youtube/snap/facebook. Once that incentive can be minimised, the incentive to provide quality product that users then feel willing to pay for can become more important.

Of course, these networks didn't attract the user numbers they have by charging up front so for any challenger to come along and try this model will be extremely difficult due to the aforementioned friction in either getting out your credit card to pay or paying up front for an app. People will gladly shell out hundreds of dollars for a new phone but won't shell out a fraction of that for a quality app on that phone.
> If I were rich, I would have a permanent secretary.

If I ever play and win the lottery this is the one thing I would spent big money on. No expensive cars, no expensive wine, just a person which takes care of everything.

Need a new insurance for the car? Tell the secretary to do it. Car is broken? Tell the secretary to take care of it. Need a hotel? Tell the personal secretary to book one. Phone broken? Just send an email "Please order me a Samsung S8" and it will magically appear the next day. Don't like it? Just tell them to send it back.

This would solve 95% of my daily struggles and it would improve the quality of my life way more than any expensive yacht or car could ever do.

In fact if you have a group of half a dozen people who each pay a few hundred $ a month you could almost employ one person who takes care of such stuff even as a not-so-rich person.
Thomas Smale is a great guy. Glad to see his resource shared on here. Definitely worth connecting with him if you are interested in selling. I met him on Summit at Sea last year and have kept in touch. He’s a great resource for this.
"I think one interesting project in the near future could be to try and build a column-oriented storage engine that's "good enough" for both OLAP and OLTP workloads."
SAP Hana is an example of a system that fits into this category. This isn't new either and has been existing since the 90s.
Sybase IQ (which SAP acquired) was the first commercially successful columnar database. They have an in-memory row engine to handle OLTP. OLAP queries perform exceptionally well due to the column oriented nature of the storage. Customer deployments are in the 100s of TBs and low PBs these days. Blows most open source software in terms of performance if you are willing to shell out the $.

This depends on the caller.

A lot of the calls I used to get were the ones where they spoof a phone number that has the same first few digits as yours to make it seem like a local number and then the caller is a scammer “You owe money to the IRS”, “Your computer has a virus and you have to pay to fix it”.

Engaging these callers is probably not useful.

On my iPhone I use the AT&T Call Protect app and it works pretty well. Though I am still getting a few spam calls from phone numbers with my same exchange which go unanswered.

I would think sooner or later the telemarketers are training the public/the masses that answering unknown calls isn’t worth it making it an unprofitable business. Just read all the comments here and on Facebook re: this... ppl just don’t answer the phone like they use to.

For me If we haven’t spoken before text, email, FB or leave me a voice message and I’ll call you or actually answer your call.

My guess - captive audience. People listening to podcasts are likely to be driving or exercising, which means they're not able to do anything BUT listen and are far less likely to even be able to pull out their phone and start skipping forwards.

Plus, hosts usually read the ad copy, which psychologically connects people to the sponsors in a way that has only really been done in very early TV and radio.

By way of example, the Crooked Media podcasts (Pod Save America, etc.) include ads in which the hosts also discuss their private lives, personal disagreements, and pop culture, which creates this weird kind of serialized drama/discussion that carries through either within an episode and between ads, OR in ads for the same product but across multiple episodes. All of that makes listeners more likely to listen to ads instead of skipping them.
> "The org-mode reference is "rhetoric". That's the Latin for "#thatsthejoke" :)"

I got what you were doing with it (suggesting it in a jokey way as if it wouldn't be fair to even bring it up), I was just using it as an opening to discuss alternative org-mode implementations. Emacs may have the canonical one, but it's not like it's impossible to implement elsewhere.

> "And as for Git, I don't really understand the suggestion."

Multiple Git repos, each one covering different system settings. In other words, if you work across two PCs, one Git repo for PC 1, another Git repo for PC 2. Alternatively, you could organise it in the same repo under different branches. If you know Git you'll know what I'm suggesting is trivially easy.

I have had many bad experiences where unreliable software has fucked production even if it is the current fad and has an arena of consultants and conferences behind it. If you don’t independently test and understand the software and just chuck it in and see what happens, which is how some people think it should be done, then you’re burning your business badly.

Highly edited perpetual conversations filled with weird iconography that, at this point, I pretty much choose at random. This is what being old feels like.

On this front, and to stray closer to a topic many of us spend too much time on, how do you conceptualise programs and their structure (control, data, etc, etc)?

It's clearly formalised in words (except for the occasional visual programming languages/programs), but that's mostly superficial. The actual structure, or thoughts of how to change it seem to me more abstract and often hard to explain other than by combinations of diagrams and code - but those weren't the source of the idea(s).

--> it's not clear to me that programming (which is quite clearly a conscious activity) is reducible to purely verbal or visual thoughts.

Similar comments apply to other intellectual endeavours.

Case Study: Sign-to-Speech Glove
This! Phone calls are most impolite way to begin communication in my opinion. I'm probably not alone, because a lot of my acquaintances send a chat message first, like "hi, can I call you right now?".

It can also lead to priority inversion. You handle the caller first despite having a higher priority (like a person next to you). Phone calls feel more urgent. Some people exploit this (e.g. salesmen).

(I might have phone anxiety, but weaker than in the article, and this is just me rationalizing it?)

A weaker variant of this are WhatsApp voice messages. You can delay listening to them, but you cannot skim to the relevant parts and must listen to the drivel before. "Hi ... uh ... sorry for this voice message ... uh ... but I'm too busy to type right know so I thought I'd rather talk ..." Am I the only one who finds this impolite and rude? Obviously this person does not value my time because I have to invest the time to listen. A text message would take a fraction of the time to read. Especially, because people would leave out the drivel. The waste of time multiplies if such voice messages go to group chats.
Not missing anything just giving a more nuanced picture than what you seemed to suggest.
Datomic is my default choice for any data processing software (which is almost everything).

Immutability in-and-of-itself is not the selling point. Consider why everyone moved from CVS/SVN to Git/dvcs. The number of people who moved to git then and said "man I really wish I could go back to SVN" is approximately zero. Immutability isn't why. Git is just better at everything, that's why. Immutability is the "how".

I don't see why I would use an RDBMS to store data ever again. It's not like I woke up one day and started architecting all my applications around time travel†. It's that a lot of the accidental complexity inherent to RDBMS - ORM, N+1 problems (batching vs caching), poorly scaling joins, pressure to denormalize to stay fast, eventual consistency at scale...

Datomic's pitch is it makes all these problems go away. Immutability is simply the how. Welcome to the 2020s.

I think the trigger event for modern consciousness mode is a critical percent of population being literate. It could been happening a few millenia earlier than his book suggests, and shaped the brain around reading the "fixed language"(i.e. written words) allowing abstraction levels not possible with earlier purely verbal communication.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_(process)#History
The history of reading dates back to the invention of writing during the 4th millennium BC. Although reading print text is now an important way for the general population to access information, this has not always been the case. With some exceptions, only a small percentage of the population in many countries was considered literate before the Industrial Revolution. Some of the pre-modern societies with generally high literacy rates included classical Athens and the Islamic Caliphate.[41]

Scholars assume that reading aloud (Latin clare legere) was the more common practice in antiquity, and that reading silently (legere tacite or legere sibi) was unusual.[42] In his Confessions, Saint Augustine remarks on Saint Ambrose's unusual habit of reading silently in the 4th century AD.[42][43]

I was thinking purely from a power consumption / die size / support stand point.

Not sure what the MT6261 quiescent current is, but I'd expect it to be in the 100s of uA. An MSP430 can get down to 0.1uA, which is much more difficult to detect.

If I had to guess, the MSP430 die is probably about 1/4 the size of the MT6261 die.

Most importantly, I can't find a MT6261 datasheet anywhere except for taobao. This just makes development harder.
It's another layer of attack surface. You think attackers use just one bug? They use as many as they feasibly can to add redundancy and improve attack success rate.
