You're right.

If I had a game like this, I would want people to think they could make a lot of money by playing.

An easy way to create that impression and to generate hype would be to make some high-value self-trades.

It's not proof they did but there's means/motive/opportunity.

I wouldn't be so quick to conflate market share with a monopoly. We're one a message board other than reddit, and I could name hundreds with 10K+ users. Is reddit popular? No doubt. But it's far from a monopoly.
A monopoly is generally defined as having a high barrier to entry, combined with price discrimination.

You can certainly argue that the userbase/content of reddit/facebook/youtube constitutes a high barrier to entry. However, the userbase/content of facebook/reddit/yt is a feature, and not fundamental to the service itself (you can have a video sharing site with just a few videos). This is why these three are not natural monopolies. In contrast, serving packets is all an ISP can do. It either serves them (at some speed), or it doesn't. I would emphasize the barrier to entry is the real capital costs that are integral to the (sole) function of the service. It's simply not possible for every New Yorker to dig up the sidewalk to lay fiber. That is what constitutes a natural monopoly.

As to the price discrimination point, Facebook/YT/reddit do not, as far as I'm aware, solid control of ad pricing, although I'm sure they would love to. Your ISP, however, exercises significant pricing controls, especially if they are the only game in town.
Both. Comes with "S," which only runs store apps, but can be upgraded to Pro, which runs everything.
These are higher abstractions than the internet itself.

Net neutrality does not exclude these.

What happens if Comcast decides to dramatically slow down Reddit/Facebook/YouTube in favour of another service? Your point no longer stands.
I hate to whine but I hope ads are clearly labeled as ads, and also that this doesn't replace their efforts to make the app store and app discovery more friendly.

GONE WITH THE WIND is the pinnacle of Lost Cause propaganda. I enjoyed when I didn't understand it. (I'm sure glad I didn't watch Triumph of the Will when I didn't understand it.) I damn sure don't enjoy GONE WITH THE WIND now that I understand it.

Code might be working perfectly but if it is ugly as heck you might not want to show it off (for personal reasons, or not).

You might be using code from other, paid applications (example: faviconographer.com).

Maintenance(?), if you open source it people might want to e.g. create lots of issues or such. Mental tax but might only apply to larger popular projects.

Startup costs, maybe related to the code quality. I don't like throwing code out there. I like to make some form of documentation, clean the code, add some examples and neat readme.md's and so on. And this takes time and effort.
This looks useful. I'd love to use this with gopass (https://github.com/justwatchcom/gopass). It would have to support preexisting keys for that to work for me.

As I understand, deeplearn.js is more of a kitchen than a prepared meal. Part of the library is referred to as “numpy for the web” with classes to run linear algebra equations efficiently, leveraging the GPU. I don’t see why you couldn’t use those pieces to set up other networks. I think the name “deeplearn.js” is moreso capitalizing on the branding momentum of “deep learning” rather than being the demonstration of one kind of network. I’m in the middle of introductory machine learning classes, so I hope someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

How long before we see a post that people are being fooled into installing some copycat apps which are nearly identical to original apps but are getting promoted by Search Ad Basics?
great project! i was looking for something like this recently and it's nice to see some efforts in this direction. to all the haters: we know there are websites for this. the whole point here is to have something you can run locally, with free software too.

i'm probably burn all my karma at once with this, but i ended up writing my own similar program, in Python however:

https://gitlab.com/anarcat/undertime

My rationale is that I am... well, uncomfortable with the nodejs runtime and prefer to use Python in my programs. Python is everywhere, whereas the node runtime isn't always readily available. I know, not such a great justification, but I was curious to see how an equivalent program would look like as well (short version: it's way more verbose in Python).

So anyways, hammer away. bug reports and PRs welcome, but please keep the flames to a campfire side retreat.

I live in a "fast languages only when necessary, and with restraint" shop. Our C++ is not idiomatic, it is meant for programmers from other languages. Anything with iterators is a bit sketchy. It tends to look more like C than C++, and now that I'm an old person I am perfectly happy with that.

We use `s.count(i) == 1`. It's ok -- clear, readable etc. Doesn't give you an iterator if you want to delete the thing too, but most of the time you don't.
They’re very clearly labeled as ads, and as far as I can tell there’s only like one at the top usually, not taking up all the screen space, and has a different background color even.
That doesn’t address his/her point, though. If Apple realizes they’re leaving billions of dollars per year on the table, there is very little to stop them from spinning up an analytics division to rake that in.

> Search Ads Basic

Why does this not count as "getting into ads"? Genuinely don't see the difference. And to be fair, the product kinda puzzles me in the first place. Is it really only an ad at the top of app store search pages?
I've made this mistake already. The search ads show apps that are very similar-looking to what I am obviously trying to find.
That's literally what they're doing here. Selling advertising. Yes, you can say—and I hope—that they won't compromise their other lines of business to increase ad revenue. But this is a step closer to that precipice.

Your comparison with "electric neutrality" is a great analogy. Another one I've used is "road neutrality": you can be charged a toll for using a road, but what if your toll depended on what model of car you drove? Or what if you had to have a certain model of car to use the road at all?
As I mentioned, each side simply did the thing best for themselves based on their circumstances at the time.

Crusaders did not have any easily accessible slave markets to sell their captives to, since unlike Muslims they were not practicing mass open slavery at the time, they were far from home, and the captured people were very numerous. So they killed them. This was their most self interested choice possible.

The Muslims had access to liquid, nearby slave markets, and the captives were fewer, so they sold them. This was the most sold interested outcome possible. To do anything else would be to throw away war profits. To break a promise of clemency in exchange for surrender would be to make future battles more difficult.

To try to set this up as some fundamental moral difference is deeply disingenuous and indicates some deeper level of motivated reasoning intended to de-legitimize one group in particular.
So it’s apparent that many governments around the world are unwilling to take a similar approach to drug use. But could Google, Apple, Facebook et al provide services there? Create functionality to aid in harm reduction and addiction outreach? What would those things really look like, and would those companies actually leverage their access to billions of people to help with drug abuse?
Wow, I just set this up for an app and it took less than 60 seconds. That's surprisingly fast. Good job Apple.
They've been 'into ads' for years. They were in a bidding war for AdMob in 2010, lost out to Google. They've bought ad technology companies. They haven't been super-successful in the space (iAd didn't work out) but you don't do those things if you 'don't want to get into ads')

Well, yes, the DAG of commits with trees and blobs attached to them is still the structure of the underlying database, which is what you were originally talking about. But OK, you want to talk about the complexity that arises from git being distributed and having a staging area. That's totally valid, and it's what simplified wrappers like gitless are here to solve. Maybe try those?

Well, maybe your scientists should be using some other version control tool if they are having so much difficulty with git?

I think many companies can run their ads as pay for performance. eBay's ads are a fixed cost of the product sale - the higher you set it, the more often your ad shows but you only pay if it leads to a sale.

Platforms simply have so much data and scale they can do a much better job of targeting than their customers can. It's not efficient for lots of marketers to test out lots of ads, carefully track conversions, and decide what to spend on. Just let the platform maximize ads given a certain amount per sale, and the platform will naturally target based on what converts best (and since this is Amazon scale or Facebook scale, they can do these tests automatically for every campaign and get statistically significant results very quickly).

I wish Amazon would roll out eBay style ads. They have all the data and could do a much better job than sellers, and could capture a significant portion of the added value it would provide.
There's a lot of countries where it's not normal to keep going to school until you are 18.

In New Zealand, you can leave school when you're 16 and start an apprenticeship. I think that by 16, most people will know if they're definitely not going to be going to university, and I think that 11 years of schooling is enough to set people up with the basics for life. It's the point where (at least in New Zealand) you start specialising, picking specific subjects that are going to help you with, or be required for, university

"The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas Kuhn.

Science is not a purely additive process. New facts and theories are not simply added to the pile of existing ones. New knowledge and understanding often requires abandoning or drastically reconceiving old theories and observations. Kuhn explores this in great detail, and I found it fascinating and insightful.

For example, prior to the invention of the telescope, the celestial sphere was viewed as fundamentally different from the earthly sphere. But a simple look at the moon in Galileo's telescope reveals it to be a body that is very similar to the Earth. It has mountains which cast shadows as the light moves across them, and so on.

The "moon" must now be be viewed as a rather different concept, and this new conception is invoked every time one looks at it. This new "paradigm" affects other observations, such as those of Jupiter and Saturn. They are not pure, static points of light like stars, and some color and a circular shape can be see with the new telescope. Must they be bodies like that of the Moon or Earth as well?

In the book, as Kuhn presents his analysis, it seems we are also taking a deep look at epistemology, and the subtleties and differences between how something is perceived and how it is conceived. Grounded in the historical narrative of scientific advancement, I found this investigation of those difficult and elusive topics to be more enlightening than usual.

I believe that some criticize Kuhn for how sharp and discontinuous he describes his paradigm shifts to be. For me, this was not a main point. I enjoyed his detailed analysis of how paradigms change in general, and why this is a more accurate description of how science progresses, compared to additive models.

You're looking at a list from one perspective: AFI's. It's going to be different from the Director's Guild of America's perspective, or BET Television's perspective, Roger Ebert's perspective, or IMDB commenter's perspective, or Teen Vogue's perspective.

I personally think 4 of those 5 movies are way overrated, including Godfather. And I'm sure "But I'm a Cheerleader, Too" is going to be near the top of Teen Vogue's list, but is going to be nowhere near anyone else's list.

We really need to not think of these lists as authoritative. It's just another data point.
This is one of the more measured cases for golang I have read.

When it comes to my default set of tools, I gravitate towards dynamic, expressive languages that provide greater leverage rather than ones with fast startup times, c-like speed, native binaries, etc.

That said, when you need those things, I agree with this guy--golang has been a far better experience for me than any other language of its ilk. I'm not claiming it has magic powers like rust or a sentient type system like haskell, but I spent hours learning go fundamentals, and days figuring out how to get real work done with it. I can't say that for many other languages with go's compile and runtime capabilities.
The argument I'd expect him to make: You're making the assumption that monopolies are inherently bad, and that alternatives wouldn't spring up out of the American spirit of entrepreneurship if they were actually required. Clearly, alternatives haven't arisen because we're doing well enough with what we have. Oh, the government grants exclusive franchise to specific companies? Just another example of the evils of government interference in the market.
> Source control should be usable by people other than developers.

Sure, but does that mean that git needs to be usable by everybody? I don't see how that follows. There are plenty of source control tools, they range in ease of use from beginner to advanced. Git was developed to be a source control system for software developers. If you try to shoehorn it into every use case, how are you going to make anyone happy?
Presumably this will usually be run from a JS engine like Node independent of a browser. Which will have all the libraries needed for loading data and such. In theory it will be an order of magnitude faster than numpy because it uses the GPU (I don't know what the actual performance is though.) Certainly the JS will be much faster than python or R.
