Yes, but advertisers (you know, Google's actual customers) don't like it, because they get less control over the appearance of their ads, and way fewer metrics/information about click rates etc.

It might also just be less effective than in-page advertising. Google and its peers probably know the truth of that, but I don't know if there are any reliable comparative studies in that area that don't fall into the "we tried to cram exactly the same strategy/campaign/content we would put in a banner ad into an RSS feed and got no uptick in sales" trap, but I'd love to read up on that area.

Regardless, the bandwagon effect of "traditional" online advertising is such that RSS is at best an (at present) tiny new frontier that would require advertisers to re-learn or change a lot of their content strategy, and at worst an actively advertiser-hostile platform.

Those are just observations; not statements of should/should-not.
I'm not an historian, but I think “E pluribus unum” and “liberté, egalité, franternité” should be analyzed in the context of their own time. “liberté, egalité, franternité” was a war cry promoting brotherly union against monarchy.
"freedom" and "equality before the law" are not competing goals, but were revolutionary ideas on their time.

If you said to a member of a royal family back then: "I believe all men are created equal", you could be imprisoned and executed, depending on his majesty's will. That's because your ideas jeopardized the foundations of monarchy.

Ask HN: Python Open Source Projects for someone learning it after Java/Scala
I am learning Python after 10 years of Java, Scala and JavaScript. I am not learning Python for Data Science, ML or AI, but as a language. And I really want to master the language. What open source projects could I contribute to, to further my Python skills and help Open source as well?

The only constraint is that I am new to Python, but not new to Programming.
As a university student in the UK I find myself reminded of these problems on a very frequent basis. The purpose of universities seems to have shifted from providing academic research and learning to simply being another stage of school, with the sole objective of handing out degrees. One of the metrics that I feel indicates this most strongly is the radical change in hiring at universities in recent years. It's shocking to know that many universities (mine included) now employ more full time non-academic staff than full time academics.

>cannot be considered offensive
>Both of these appear reasonable to me.

That is the issue. Just because someone considers something offensive does not make it so. With a tiny bit of effort, so many things can be "considered offensive". A generous interpretation would be that a governing body must consider it offensive, but more likely this means the recipient of a message can take offense where none is given.

But far more importantly, students should not be given protection from being offended. Harassment, sure, but offense? That's part of growing up.
Judging by the almost physical pain I experience when listening to non-native speakers trying to express themselves in my language, I think making English the lingua franca is a fitting revenge on all those imperialists.

re: "The goal should be to eliminate government created markets"

Having been on hn for a while, I was sort of writing to this response when I commented.

So... my friend^, I don't know. I really don't. I am sympathetic to all sorts of minarchist ideas and minarchist ideals. I also have my own ideas off beat ideas about was of improving some of these. In many cases that I alluded to above, trying to minimize government power would be an approach worth trying. However, I just don't see us living in a near future where the quality of artificial^^ markets is not very important. Some of these are a lot worse than others, and we should fix it.

^I mean this. Lets not forget we're friends, disagreements don't negate this.

> Qt experts will argue on all these points, "It's a library, it shouldn't do XYZ", but at the end of the day, Qt is a means to ship Desktop and Mobile Software, and by ignoring the entire Developer Experience from end-to-end, they miss the mark.

Exactly!

The social media platforms have effectively "devoured" and "engulfed" the very idea behind RSS in order to exploit the political economy of content publication, for monopoly.

When Google Reader has been shut down in 2013, it had left millions of loyal fans behind who had loved and used the platform over the years. There had been a strong disappointment, especially in communities like Reddit, HN and Slashdot. Reader platform still seems to have been missed even today [2].

Judging by the range of Google products that had got shut down along with the Reader [2] that time, it seems that it had been a strategic move to preserve their interests in rising social media and mobile market.

Google had failed to "build products that people love," by betraying what people loved.

With Google killing the Reader, Twitter shutting down support for RSS, AI having had started deciding what is most relevant for you, and feeds having buried behind giant walls of API interfaces,

Legacy of Aaron Swartz had been turned into "social media," the new television!

I think you have no idea how (fundamental) research works...
Oracle Replaces JavaOne with Oracle Code One
With risk of being deemed survivorship bias, I went to a community college for the first 2 years in the US at a whopping $698 a semester, got my associates in science which transferred to a prominent a state college and counted for my Gen Ed requirements in my Computer Science degree so I was able to jump straight into CS courses. With tuition assistance (everyone qualifies at a certain level, unless you are uber rich), I ended up with around 10k in debt (mostly because I took some out to live a little more comfortably in school). That was about 5 years ago and that debt is essentially paid off.

My wife did almost the exact same thing. She has a small amount of debt, (15k) but that's mostly because she has 3 degrees, including a masters.

We've both been happily employed since.

Long story short: I think the "American University Debt Crisis" is largely overstated. I relate it to the housing crisis in 2008. Yes it was shitty for mortgage lenders to be giving out those loans to those people, but at the same time, you as an individual have to stop and think at some point and say "OK, I am a strawberry farmer that makes 30k a year, what business do I have buying a 500k house?"

You as an individual need to use some critical thinking and say, "OK my family / I make only X amount a year, what businesses do I have racking up 40-50k in student debt every year? Are there alternatives?"

The answer to the question "are there quality alternatives to simply racking up debt I will never be able to pay back and still be able to get an education?" is yes.

I should edit this to say: the debt crisis is real now because a large majority of these students did in fact take the loans and now have the debt. What I mean, however, is this "fact" that you must go into lifelong crippling debt to get a quality education is overstated.
I'd like to second that! I haven't used PHP much since version 5, and while I'm inclined to believe that there's only so much that can be done to 'fix' a language that isn't particularly good, I'd love to hear how things have changed for the better, but also what problems still exist.

Much of my own work has been javascript, and I could probably write a similar comment about how much has improved and yet how much is still fundamentally unpleasant because of the initial design (and the need for backwards compatibility). Of course, enough has probably been said about that...

I tried Monzo and they're awesome, but ended up ultimately moving to Starling. Reason being they have a full FSCS license, so your balance is guaranteed by the government up to around £85k.

Apart from that they're both much the same, and both leagues better than a normal bank. It's amazing buying stuff or getting cash out and the notification comes through on the phone before the ATM tells you the cash is coming!

Another good thing both have - you can switch off cards instantly. I thought i'd lost my Starling card when out last week, instead of cancelling it I just temporarily halted it until it was found.
I think this could take off... I've been kicking around thoughts on makings something along these lines with wordress + buddypress + bp my home...

the trick is curation .. adding option for negative keywords per feed or something.. having other people you could follow or pull an opml into your own profile / page..

maybe it needs to become more like pin boards where people can sort in more general groups, and then make it more visual as well.

I personally enjoyed the taptu app for it's visual layouts options with rss.. until it shutdown. RssDemon (premium version - no ads) has been a similar replacement for me with mobile devices.

I do think this kind of thing could create network effects easy. I'd use it like a renaissance of netvibes / myyahoo feed pages that were cool back in the day.

Now that I think of it, I probably stopped using those because they lacked the visuals, which should be easy to add these days.

> Some say Mandarin in 20 years, but there are a lot of practical reasons why I find that hard to believe

English has been taught in European schools for decades and most European citizens still don't use it much or know it that well (the biggest reason is that it's not the official language of the countries).

Virtually nobody teaches Chinese in European schools now, so I find it very hard to believe that Mandarin will be anywhere close to the language of the internet in 20 years. It's really only the Asian countries (except India) where a larger percentage of their populations can speak or understand Mandarin, but that's always been the case anyway, so I don't think that's going to change much.

Seems like in 137 he's saying that he doesn't want to sacrifice individuality and creativity for the sake of maintaining a banal existence that doesn't deviate from the norm out of fear. He's accepting the risks that come with making his opinions public, and challenging assumptions that he should just shut up, in part because he has confidence in the validity of his beliefs and a willingness to defend them.

The more recent one is about people who publicize poorly constructed opinions with no consideration to the potential consequences it will create for their interpersonal and community relationships. Those folks are welcome to say "fuck that shit" like the character in 137 and go build their own forums or whatever to spread and defend those ideas. But most of these types would prefer to whine and call themselves victims.

It's the infestation of 'market' philosophy that is the grindstone on the academic values. Everything gets beaten into submission of an amoral self-referential quantitative utility framework. This has become so ingrained that many, if not most, don't even see it as a choice but simply accept it as some sort of universal law.
There is quite a big difference between students alone paying 100 % (or more like 500 % in the US) and every citizen in a country sharing the price between them. Not only is it cheaper overall per capita but you also get much better tuition when schools don't go where they make the most money but concentrate on teaching and research. Look at how research in the US is today. Research what might make big money and when you get the chance run with it and start a company. That is a surefire way of running the school into the ground - or at least the quality of it.

How to upgrade to mainline Kernel 4.17-rc2 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
>"Through our analysis, we wanted to study user behavior towards the Page Previews feature to answer the following questions:

How often do people use the feature to preview other pages? We set a threshold of 1000ms (one second) for a preview card to stay open before we counted it as viewed.

How often do people disable the feature? It can be disabled by clicking on a settings icon at the bottom of each preview. A high rate in disabling Page Previews would indicate that this is not a feature users want. A low rate indicates users like the feature and would continue using it."

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_Previews/2017-18_A/B_Tes...

My experience was that suddenly something popped up over what I was trying to read so I was confused for a moment (hitting the first metric), but I did not notice the settings icon or expect I would be able to so easily turn these off (thus not hitting the second metric). After reading this I did turn it off.

I am definitely not at all a fan of this feature yet would be counted as positive by two different metrics.
