My mother and my partner's mother respond every time to those full page takeover ads that mimic a windows dialog box and play scary audio about viruses, tell her to call / give someone her credit card / let them remote into her computer. It's utterly infuriating these parasites are allowed to buy ads.

I aggressively install ad blocks and add domains to /etc/hosts to prevent having to remotely reinstall OSes every couple months.

These are the people google is trying to help with this move, imo. Because ublock still breaks pieces of the web, but they can't be trusted to browse the web without it.

Ask HN: Learning Finance App
Hey! I wanted to ask HN and get feedback about an idea of mine. I have been looking for a finance app that aggregates all my financial information across multiple accounts in one place. This application would then allow me to view transactions and set a budget for each month. On top of the basics it could also learn about your financial standing and suggest investments opportunities. It could also let you adjust things that could happen in the future to give you a theoretical view of what your finances might look like years from now based on small changes you make today.

Right now I use a spreadsheet to do all of this but I feel that other people would love to have an application like this. What do you think?
lol @ uptight social culture of finance. Most trading desks are just ex-frat boys with quant skills or a connected uncle. They're all in on tech gadgets; they all have the latest smartphone / wearables / TV / smart home.
> Why don't more open source projects simply state that if you are a business using their software you are required to purchase a license for X amount of money.

Because a license which requires that is not an open source license. It might be a source-available, free-for-non-commercial use license, but that's not the same thing.

Further, if using a copyleft upstream license, this would be prohibited by the upstream license.
Not any more. Non-spec variables are initially immutable, so can't be removed until you toggle that.
I believe the new tax bill excludes architecture and engineering from that list. In other words, they would get the deduction.
You mean why they are putting it off for a whole week and a half!?

I don't think anyone would get their taxes done on time if it applied retroactively to 2017, and having a different tax code for December 21-31 seems like a bad idea also. I think applying the change on January 1st is ambitious if anything.
Google's own site doesn't do this! I haven't visited google sheets on my phone in quite a while (ever?), but when I go to sheets.google.com, I get an ad for the google sheets app, and it's in no way clear that it's possible to use a web interface. Same for google docs.
Copyright schemes are almost always for the distributors, not the creators.

Let creators enjoy the full benefits of copyright by returning the ownership back to creator after 10 years.

After a decade, it is expected that creators will be able to command bigger cut as compensation for popular works and thus, inspire more creators to publicly deliver works due to the expectation of more appropriate and fair level of compensation from interested distributors. Otherwise, creators are discouraged from independent creation of works if it's believed that they will suffer perpetual loss of copyright ownership in exchange for a minuscule payment.

Similar scheme exists in Europe: http://evolver.fm/2012/02/29/why-mastered-for-itunes-wont-de...

As it stands, distributors can say "well, sell us the copyright for a dollar and we might give you a cut. No, not a licence, the copyright! At least you'll get a lot of exposure? Hehehe"

The current scheme has a lot of economic encouragement for indy creators to aim for live music, book signings, etc. Where creators need can be present and needed.
Not really. There's Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, Bitcoin Ruby, Bitcoin Plus... the list goes on and on but the 'Bitcoin' name hasn't helped any of them much.
That is not supportive of the "it's mine therefore I'm right" argument it's just a solution to this particular problem. We can go on like this all day, but the argument is, just because it's yours does not mean you can do whatever you want with it. I am trying to show the error of the thinking with more erroneous thinking.
It's out of warranty so I just swapped it myself. There are kits on Amazon for $70 that include the special screwdrivers. Super easy.
I’d love to get a peek at the alternate universe where they bought Be instead and see how it worked out. Obviously NeXT worked out really well for them and Be would have a tough time matching that success, but who can say for sure?
That's almost guaranteed to be incorrect, and is extremely cynical.

The workers receiving those $1000 bonus checks, are not going to see a hit from the state & local deduction changes. Unless you think those people are making $250,000 per year and living in homes that cost $1,500,000 (they're not; and if they were, not only would the $1k not matter, they can easily afford the very slightly higher taxes).

Those workers are also covered under corporate health insurance. The only valid argument about rising healthcare costs in that regard, is that it detracts from their potential salaries over time (debatable whether that benefit would be redirected to salaries or to AT&T's net income figure, were healthcare costs lower).
That is a good article. Hadn't seen a complete description of New Glenn before, thanks. I'm very curious to see how the economics pencil out.

I'm a little skeptical that it will be possible for Blue Origin to catch SpaceX with the first iteration of their rocket. It took SpaceX a while to master all of the competencies to get where they are, with a number of setbacks (and explosions) along the way. Its likely Blue Origin will face a number of those all well before they are routinely launching reused rockets like SpaceX is today.

So, I'd guess SpaceX has about 5 years before it has to worry about Blue Origin.
Does their digital lightfield have pixels? I was under the impression there would be no pixels in that sense.

> I have no idea what type of changes might prevent these abuses

As long as a human or group of humans is capable of removing choices for others, there is will be no possible idea of how to prevent the abuse.
Yeah, I was getting the "Service battery" message. Didn't matter if plugged in (always was because it would die within half an hour), still slow.
My general advice would be to plan, plan, plan. This could be using a tool like Jira or Github Projects. Have whiteboard sessions to discuss the architecture before you get started and make sure you plan it out well. Communication is also really important so everyone knows what each other is doing.
Oh look more anti-car propaganda from citylab posted to HN, must be a day with y in it.
UIKit is much more limited than AppKit because it was meant to run on devices with limited resources. In fact, people used to complain about all the things you couldn't do on iOS devices that you could on the Mac.

I'm not sure why this is being downvoted, other than that it isn't precise. I'm general you can't trust regulators or legislators at the federal level.
A smart decision would have been to read the article.
Isn't it votes, and your saying jobs are more powerful inducer of those things?

Same reason they wouldn't lower everyone's salary by $1,000 if a new tax went into effect.
Must be nice to be so privileged as to think 35K is a "small sum."
Why they chose Next over Be is an interesting lesson itself.

I still can't remember the technical merits of the Be operating system. Someone tried to get me to use it back in 1999, but there were no applications worth using.

That sounds kind of like hoping that people sending spam via e-mail just stop one day.

Have you seen the page? It’s literally nothing more than an email opt-in with some clearly photoshopped images of a device that doesn’t exist yet, even in mock-up form (otherwise they would have used the mock-up in the photos).
Some days, when Fisher was travelling, she let Notturno go inside her apartment before she got home. “One time, she came in with a big smile on her face and threw her coat on a chair and said, ‘They loved you in Los Angeles last night!’ ”

Skimpy article at best, one might suppose from this anecdote that she got something from the lessons.
There were about 11 hard forks to Bitcoin before Bitcoin Cash was created - some of them temporarily decreasing the block size with the intention of putting it back into place when needed. BTC veered from that intention.
If non-reputable agencies wanted to do illegal research, there is literally nothing that would stop them. Look at NSA spying, MKUltra, and the failed nerve gas test that killed hundreds of sheep.

The US still has the largest arsenal of nerve gas in the world, much of it which is still in the queue to be destroyed, much of it still leaking.
My favorite bit is the ban on interstitials with a countdown timer.

I hate those as much as anyone else, but....

Somehow the interstitials with countdown timers on videos, like YouTube, don't count...that's allowed.

Are they any less annoying than a pop-up that blocks text content for a set period of time? Both force an ad on you before viewing the actual content.

My worry is that this will shift many content providers from text to video. The web will turn into broadcast TV.

I wonder why it's so frequently porn? The ones displayed on my device all have "Bubble Butt" in the title somewhere plus extras so it's clear it's all porn. I mean, I know the internet is based on porn but is that really most of what people use BT for now adays? lol
Quite. I don't particularly want to find myself living in the midst of a real life remake of The Stand, nor anything close to it[1].

"Wildfire" was the protocol for responding to the detection of the alien organism rather than the failsafe that wasn't.
Since publicly traded US companies often claim to be focused most on raising shareholder value, this _apparent_ generosity must be part of some long play (which ATT believes will ultimately pay for itself in stock price, tax deductions, or something).
That’s a very clear, concise, and now that I think of it, condivisibile explanation. You’re right about staying on topic. Thanks for the levelheaded response, I really appreciate it.
I can assure you, the majority of people who regularly use the Bloomberg terminal are not eager for any change whatsoever to how they consume the data.

Any change, no matter how much it improves the workflow or UI is met with bitter resistance, because the users do everything from muscle memory, and small changes break that and slow them down.

It is because of the idea that the government is here for public good, because they're not self-interested, whereas private industries are there because of their greed and self-interest, and they harm their customers whenever they can. In reality, nobody would eat at a government-run restaurant when they have an option to eat at private ones, and nobody would buy a government-designed cell phone when they can buy Android/iPhone. Yet government regulation of transportation, healthcare, and education is the right thing, because they are so much less important than our dinners and phones, and we can afford bureaucratic inefficiencies in these industries, right?
What exactly makes you think it can't scale?

Hacker News scaled from hundreds of users to hundreds of thousands of users and is still very high quality. Worse in some ways and better in others. Reddit scaled to tens of millions.

Just because Twitter is run by people that can't scale it doesn't mean it's not possible to scale it.
Remember that US tech giants are giant companies, and therefor often benefit from the things that are put in place to benefit tech giants. Netflix may have stated publicly that they wanted net neutrality, but they can afford "access fees" and fast lanes.

Things I've seen on the trading floor:

* Impromptu breath holding contests complete with prop bets and name chanting

* Chairs shoved, phones slammed, mice thrown, (full) drinks thrown, (Other people's) paper piles toppled, soooo much profanity.

* One time a trader yelled FKING FK very loudly as our EVP of Trading was giving a tour of the office to a business journalist. To which the EVP turned to the journalist and very calmly said, "With us, you always know where you stand."
Yeah, nah. Dont store your coins in sites or dapps or anything that you do not control 100% yourself.

The best option for folks today is exodus.io, which is a multicurrency platform-ind js wallet. You control 100% of the key material and control the funds.

There is also jaxx and coinomi.com that can act as multi-currency wallets.
Microsoft had a monopoly at a lower level in the stack. When all the software you rely on is win32, it's hard to move to Linux or OSX.

People can dump Chrome tomorrow for at least 4 fully-featured alternatives - Firefox, Safari, IE, Opera - which effectively support all the features of the web Chrome does.
I feel like I don't really know Tk well enough to give a satisfactory answer. Does it use native Cocoa widgets these days? I recall that wasn't the case years ago, at least.

Anyway, Termipal's benefits are:

* Native Cocoa widgets

* No dependencies (uses system JavaScript framework)

* Attaches to host terminal window to minimize UI transitions.

It's designed for tiny non-intrusive GUIs invoked as part of a script. Tk probably shines for more complex dialogs.
Virtual Private Network – Worth It or Not?
Exactly what I was thinking. Sounds like placebo effect to me....
Same here; tested on FirefoxDeveloperEdition for Mac. Maybe this is a slow roll-out on the Google side.
It was hard enough to get the support required to implement SegWit on Bitcoin proper, even though it had a far more immediate need for it. Bitcoin Cash was literally founded for the purpose of avoiding SegWit and making the Lightning Network impossible. The idea that all its supporters will suddenly see the light of SegWit is implausible.
The people that have responded to you seem to be focusing on using touchscreen in a desktop-only/work-only environment, but as an owner of a Surface Book I think that's wrong. When I use my Surface Book for work I very rarely touch the touchscreen because, like @fauigerzigerk said, shoulder pain would become a real problem. Instead, when work is over I detach the keyboard, turn the device into a tablet, and switch myself over to "consumer mode". That's when I use the touchscreen; that's when I break out the pen and start drawing; that's when I switch over to using Windows Store apps because they're built for touchscreen; that's when I switch open Edge because it supports touch gestures; etc.

Of course that would assume Apple builds a device that can detach its keyboard or operate as a 2-in-1 where the screen folds over. I agree that as it's designed right now, a Macbook with a touchscreen would be a bad user experience.

This is just an anecdote, but when my last Windows laptop died in October I looked really hard at buying a Macbook and eventually decided I couldn't live without the touchscreen. Pardon the pun, but being able to touch anything on my screen like I can do on a phone just feels right.

(However, I will say that my default work setup [0] is to flip the screen over, place it on my laptop stand and use it as a second monitor - a decent configuration for annotating documents or taking notes with the pen.)

The point is that Bitcoin Core is as much of a fork as Bitcoin Cash.

You're mixing up soft fork with a hard fork and implying that soft fork is somewhat better, when in reality it is just technical concept and has nothing to do with it.

Actually in current situation we already have example, the soft fork (SegWit) implements a complex mechanism to add segregation witness feature and allow for off-chain transactions.

The change in Bitcoin Cash is simply raising the block limit to 8MB. In fact initially bitcoin had no limit for the block size and the limit was added to prevent DDoS.

That limit was meant to be increased as there would be higher demand.
Finally!
I though they simply ignored firefox it used to say coming for firefix soon, these days it just says "please download chrome"
Yeah. They’ve gone completely to ground. I am guessing in the hopes it will blow over before it becomes bigger.

They claimed in a tweet earlier today that they were preparing a response however the fact they locked off their channel seems to imply their response is duck and cover.
This is just lack of imagination talking.

Reddit's sub-reddit moderator system is just one example of how to scale moderation to millions of users. If a moderator gets out of hand, reddit admins step in or users move to a new subreddit.

There are a virtually unlimited number of systems like this one could create and make work.

If I recall correctly, there is one gene from a particularly lethal virus can be transferred to the flu to make an incredibly deadly nightmare. I don't know why anyone would do that, but it's possible. IIRC this has already been done in a lab. Trying to do the same but targeted seems like something certain types of people would try to do and could easily go awry.
It wasn't a systemd thing. The people who relate the tale as if it were a systemd thing or something that the systemd people did are ill-informed. Much as in the case of the headlined bug at hand, it was entirely a kernel thing. This was even stated outright at the time by the creator of that particular kernel mechanism.

It would have been interesting. One of the driving factors for me with Apple's acquisition of NeXT has been the underlying Unix support. I've been using Mac OS since System 5, primarily in desktop publishing. Having that Unix subsystem opened up a whole new range of opportunities for the Mac in ways that I think would have been hard for BeOS to compete with. I agree a peek would be interesting, particularly the multi-tasking, but I think more for curiosity's sake than anything else.

It's just not always performant.
The fact that the tax cuts are permanent and this is a one time bonus certainly makes it seem like a publicity stunt, possibly related to currying favor for the merger with Time Warner.

That said, if you take their stated reason at face value, the tax cuts aren't directly providing the cash for the bonuses, so they can do it now based on projected savings later.

Alternatively you can leave the US corporate income tax rate where it is, which is the second highest effective rate in the OECD, and uncompetitive with dozens of other major economies. You can then watch a lot more massive corporations take their headquarters, R&D, white collar jobs, investment, etc. outside of the US.

Particularly small & mid-size US manufacturing is at a severe disadvantage with the high US effective corporate income tax rate. US manufacturing companies pay twice the corporate income tax rate as their peers in China. That means less capital available for investing into expansion, productivity, innovation, et al.

Pretending the US doesn't have to compete with the rest of the world, is an ideal recipe for economic disaster. The US should have slashed its corporate income tax rate decades ago. And it should raise the income taxes on the top 1/4 to pay for it (they get a benefit back in rising stock prices, as they're the primary stock owners in the US). You want to lure foreign capital investment and foreign corporations to US shores, you don't do that with high corporate tax rates.
Did a bunch of people let go from the Windows Phone 10 effort land at Apple?
Another trick is you can repack modern MS Office files with advzip from advancecomp. With -z4 It will use Zopfli to pack them. Further gains can be had with more rounds, (such as -i50). The resulting files can be quite a bit smaller and Office will open them without complaint.

Yet another trick is you can save as binary format files. In Excel this is XLSB. Supposedly those are less compatible across Office versions however.

Why they chose NeXT over Be...

Because the Unix nerds told them that if they wanted a rock solid workstation OS to replace legacy-MacOS (which was getting very long in the tooth at that time), it would be a good idea to have something BSD/NextSTEP based rather than whatever BeOS was.

If you look at OSX v10.0 it's pretty obvious that it's NeXTSTEP with a MacOS-looking GUI slapped on top of it. They've been incrementally upgrading and developing it since then.

BeOS was very interesting, but one thing it was not was anything close to a BSD/Unix platform.
