A section called "CPython implementation detail" looks like the very antithesis of a guarantee, to me.
I support lots of content. I would support lots more content if there were a button I click once and a penny (or so) magically teleports from my pocket into theirs.

Maybe it really is about convenience. After all, many of us pay dearly when ads are downloaded over mobile networks, and in many cases the footprint of the ads greatly exceeds the content itself. I'd be overjoyed if that money magically made its way to content producers like you instead.

So I put it back to you, where's my magic money teleporting button? Here are the requirements:

- Can't take more than 5 seconds of my time (1 second for a pre-set donation amount)
- Doesn't reveal my identity to anyone
- Tallies up for easy computation of charitable donations for my tax year

Chats. Most of my friends and me have most of our social interactions in private chat groups, with silly pictures and pictures, personal stories and drama happening all the time.

I've tried most of the big ones (except WeChat and other chinese apps, where I don't have a single peer), and I bet on Telegram. They're moving forward with incredible speed, and from all the competitors, they seem to understand their audience and usage patterns best.

Also, it's a platform that's already actively used for commerce. Just like with Bitcoin and darknet, drugs are the primary growth factor (I don't know of any other transactions cryptocurrency is actually used as currency). I expect that after they release their own currency, it will take over all existing crypto from sheer convenience.

One thing you should never do is assume a felon has the capacity for making sense.

Anecdote, but two weekends ago my apartment was broken into twice in the same weekend. The first time nothing was taken, the second time they took a bottle of display scotch (read: just tea inside) and some loose change. The first time they jimmied open a window, the second time they physically broke a glass window to reach inside and open the lock.

Note, neighbours don't generally give two shits about break-ins, unless you have neighbours that are also actively engaged in the community. (Also never underestimate the apathy of others).

All a lock can do is slow someone down. If they want to get access to your home, they will. I agree with you that locking your front door is always a good idea, and certainly in some situations a thief will want to employ a lot more stealth with their actions. But there's also thieves that are up to their eyeballs on drugs and that shiny thing on your counter top is all that they care about.

The article defeats its own arguments with statements like, "In other words, education enriches individuals much more than it enriches nations." Hard to argue against education at that point but the article tries anyway. Let's ignore the fact that that is the point of education. When was it the the object of education to teach specific job skills? That's a new one to me. After all, we must be talking about fortune tellers if you can tell which job skills will be in most demand and pay best two decades from now.

It's sad that people don't want to learn, educate, or improve themselves. It's a defeatist attitude and sad that we as a society are willing to explore so little of people's potential. This attitude towards education in the US is, in many ways, more corrosive to our society than the lack of quality education itself.

As you're the only person so far on this thread who seems to know about this, is my understanding correct that non-locality of entanglement is because all the entangled entities are described by a single hamiltonian which means the energy expressed in each of their degrees of freedom must sum to zero, so only certain combinations of measurements are possible of the system as a whole

Yes, that's why the entire internet cannot figure out how to adequately monetize content and articles about the problems with ads pop up routinely on HN: because one lone blogger is a putz producing nothing of value and blaming others for it.

I am willing to use my experience to cast light on this issue. But I do not appreciate people then turning that into a chance to take pot shots at me personally.

My point is that every single time these discussions come up, people say they would like a means to monetize content that fits X parameters. Those parameters include low friction of use, widespread accessibility and micro payments. So I created a tip jar using the most well established payment system on the internet and made the lowest payment amount just a dollar.

I rarely get a dollar. Most people willing to pay anything give more than that.

My firsthand experience suggests that this list of criteria people put forth is merely an excuse and they aren't really willing to pay anything.

Because I hear this list of criteria endlessly and I have met them all to the best of my ability with current tech by making a PayPal tip jar available. I do get some tips. But I have also become convinced that the people in these discussions listing all the reasons they don't pay while using an as blocker are just giving excuses. The truth is they won't pay.

This is the crux of the problem. Ads are how you monetize content when no one wants to pay for it. It is how TV content was originally monetized.

And if most people simply are unwilling to pay, then you have your answer: ads are here to stay because it is the only way to reliably monetize content.

If people find ads so evil and objectionable, actually opening up their wallets and paying for subscriptions, Patreon support, tips, etc is the way to get content producers to drop ads. But most people don't actually want to do that.
This is very rampant in India as well, local facebook groups get at least 5-10 posts a day regarding pyramid schemes and offers. The response is equally high to these post averaging 50-100 comments whereas other posts barely receive any. Showing the promise land of instant riches without hard work via flashy ads and illogical math creates such greed amongst the low-income community here (which is the majority of the population, btw) that it is almost heartbreaking to see them lose their everything eventually. MLM/Pyramid scams cannot be stopped via government bans or awareness programmes as such, it needs an equal rival which not only makes the same promises but magically also fulfills them somehow. As much as I have observed, the amount of hard work they do for recruiting new members can well be exchanged for a handsome salary with a steady future income promise leading to a better financial gain over time.

Thank you for your trying out the service. We may be able to wrap around the other sites only if we know the details of the system e.g. how it keeps versions and so on. Otherwise, chrome plugin like tool is necessary. The goal of the platform is to use just web browser and web URL scheme so that plugin approach is in the back burner yet. Please try out searching for public domain books as well. We started the service with Wikipedia and Gutenberg project ebooks so that users may cite from then. Thank you again.

My apologies. I looked for the answer I knew was there, and quoted the wrong section because it matched what I was looking for.

I should have quoted the next section:

> If items(), keys(), values(), iteritems(), iterkeys(), and itervalues() are called with no intervening modifications to the dictionary, the lists will directly correspond.

Curiously, the "Dictionary view objects" section at https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/stdtypes.html#dictionary... has the same "Keys and values are iterated over in an arbitrary order which is non-random ..." text, but without being inside of a "CPython implementation detail" box.

Actually, it depends how much you want to talk to your device.

If you really want this to work, we can install infrastructure at public places that can cooperate with your personal devices to improve your experience dramatically.

Think directional microphones and user tracking cameras that listens to you and watch your surroundings for you.

That way, you can have actual assistant as the infrastructure can be very knowledgable about the environment that's installed. For example, it can know how full the trains in the tube are and direct you to the optimal door, it an know the exact exit, it can know the wending machine and what it offers.

Suddenly, you will have voice UI to an intelligent assistant. Probably will feel as if it is a general purpose AI since it will be specialised for every location and occasion.

Maybe it can works as a subscription service where you gain advantage in crowded places against those who don't have a subscription or maybe it can be a public service and optimize the crowds movements and actions to improve productivity. Either model sounds dystopian but I would argue this is the direction we are headed to.
If you understand CSS those things do not have reason to exist. You may have similar sites for the various concepts in various languages— e.g. pointers in C, block syntax in Objective-C.
Yes, there were omissions in CSS which made centering vertically and only in some cases difficult, but far cry from "dumpster fire".

Not sure if that could be a good option to specify some content within a web document. First of all it is not a URL that you can normally use in web browser's address bar and share from social media. Secondly, not sure if it can specify arbitrary part of attribute value.

New SEO tool- looking for beta users/testers
Hi all,
Cocolyze has recently launched in beta and I would really appreciate getting some feedback on the tool itself especially it’s functionality i.e. is it easy to navigate and understand? Does it simplify the whole SEO process for you?
Cocolyze was developed to make SEO understandable and straightforward no matter what level you are at and would be great to get some thoughts from you.

This is the website: https://cocolyze.com

Thank you :)

Though it's easy to assume in this day and age.
I know a lot of people that created Facebook accounts for their kids.
It makes sense. You don’t pay and it acts like a radio station (suggesting songs). You do pay and it’s like a music library (play what you want).
> "You need to either stop writing or accept that you have to do it for free."

This is not what my argument boils down to. My question was clear: "why keep giving away your content for free?" I never said you need to stop writing _or_ accept that you have to do it for free. In fact you already know that since you state this later in your post:

> I have considered other options, like trying to do an e-book or a subscription or something. I don't think that works.

Honestly I don't know what to tell you. I guess the world doesn't work the way you'd wish. Artists have always had it hard in this world. I don't see why that will change now. In fact, I think it'll get worse since it's so easy to distribute digital art and people like myself are willing to give away content for free. Just as I'm willing to post for free. And willing to do almost all I do outside of formal work for free. It makes me fundamentally disagree with this claim you make:

> So we have this situation where serious problems are growing worse because you can't monetize an effective approach.

Not everything can be monetized. Not everything deserves to be monetized. You shouldn't do everything simply because it can be monetized. (In fact, you _don't_ do everything because it can be monetized as you've explicitly stated in this post.)

> These are problems I feel I have good solutions for. Everyone acts like they can't be solved. I think they can.

I honestly don't understand what you consider a problem.

> And maybe someday I will cave and throw in the towel and stop doing something I believe in and go do something that pays better, thou it makes me feel I am selling my soul. But so far I am not there yet. I would still like to try to make a difference putting out independent information about things that work. But I also would like to stop living hand to mouth.

Why is an either or? Why can you not work to support yourself and put out independent information?
Thank you for being a content supporter.

I created a PayPal tip jar. That doesn't keep you anonymous, and it won't tally it up for you. Besides, I am not a charity, so I don't think giving me money qualifies for a tax deduction.

It is the best I could figure out that somewhat closely fits the criteria I see over and over of 1. Accessible platform 2. Small payment amount 3. Low friction.

I briefly considered trying to set up a cryptocurrency donate button as a means to allow anonymous payments but that seems complicated and unlikely to actually work in terms of converting to actual cash in my pocket.
I think the post you replied to implies there must be a much simpler explanation for this stuff.
The submission guidelines recommend "Anything that good hackers would find interesting."

That's more than just programming and programming-related topics.

Has that really changed on HN? What was it like 5 or 10 years ago? Without that information, it's hard to tell if there is even a signal from which to draw an inference.
This Elon Musk quote in one of the linked blogs is insightful:

"But the CARB credits are only effective at a production rate of about 20,000 to 30,000 vehicles a year. So that’s why you’ll see, mark my words, it’s not going to be any higher than that for the Chevy Bolt. That’s on order of 25,000 units a year…"

The difference is that the same experiment in quantum terms would have you look at the ball through a colour filter and determine the probability of a range of possibilities (and therefore the other ball wherever it is) but then seeing the statistics show the particular filter you choose changes the probability of what colour ball you have and therefore the distant ball also
> People don't have high physical security because it most cases it's not needed.

Everything helps: better locks, solid doors, security cameras, law enforcement that cares, alarms, community involvement, etc. My theory is that people don't get better locks and rugged doors because most people can't tell good from bad, and therefore choose the cheapest. Or more typically, the builder chooses the cheapest and the buyers don't base purchasing decisions on the quality of locks and insides of doors and jambs because they can't judge it.

adding security features to a language itself seems a bit silly. it just adds complexity and bloat to the code (which has been and still is mostly unverified..) which gives people a sense of security that's most likely false (as people imagine hyped things to be bigger than they actually are). I'd say a good coder could write more seucre and sound code in C, though someone who isn't conscious of the nature of the language would write 'safer' code in rust or so.

This works fine at lower rates but once you hit anything greater than 120 or so there's a noticeable lag between hitting the key to rotate and the shape actually rotating - enough that the shape will often have moved a couple of spaces by the time it rotates which makes it very difficult to play.

Not sure if that's inherent to the framework or just how this particular version is programmed.

This. This is the only reason I continue to tolerate Apple Music. My job requires me to travel extensively across countries. With Apple Music, I can be assured that music in my playlists works across countries.

When am in the US, I honestly find YouTube Music to be the best (probably since it has a lot of my listening data already hence gets the prediction accurate). But Apple Music still remains the only music subscription I pay for.
